Good watch.


Brand is a damn socialist. Oxycontin, in and of itself, was a hell of a drug. It was abused by everyone, including the licensing boards who could have stopped it over night at the pharmacy point.

He is a socialist. That doesn't mean they can't identify some of problems that this country has. It's the solutions they aren't too good at. We don't need more socialism. What we need is less crony capitalism ran by a handful of companies and more capitalism, jobs, and opportunities for everyone in our country.

Bring our jobs home. Train the workforce. Rebuild our country. Pay people a liveable wage. Give incentives for people to start a business.

Capitalism for all. Not just who the Government likes.

No sounds like what built this country goofball.
Opportunity for all to work and be successful.
The end goal can't be communism. It needs to be capitalism for all. Give a man fish feed for day. Teach him how to fish feed him for a lifetime. So stock the rivers here instead of moving the fish overseas.

Profit built this country. Just busting your balls a little. I agree on trying to bring back certain things that are imperative to the safety of this country. Izod slacks and Nike tennis shoes are two of them.

Footjoy golf shoes and Ralph Lauren ?

Make the textiles in Mexico or South America if you want. All the important stuff needs to come home. Some people might have to settle for being multi millionaires instead of billionaires.

You know we've gone off the deep end when true liberals like Bill Maher and Russel Brand see the lunacy for what it is. At the end of the day, classic liberals are for some of the same core values classic conservatives are for. You've got Jimmy Dore going on Tucker Carlson and agreeing on the cronyism, they're never going to agree on something like Single Payer health care, but they all agree that we can't allow the few loons in the country strip away our right and ability to at least have discussions.

Brand is a little nutty with what he believes,
