Summary

Chad Benson, host of "The Chad Benson Show," borrows Jim's stool again today. In this episode, Chad and Greg break down the latest Democratic presidential debate. First, they get a kick out of watching Elizabeth Warren squirm out of answering whether she would raise taxes on the middle class to pay for government-run health care and watching mild-mannered Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg hammer her for not answering. They also groan and protect their wallets as Warren pitches her wealth tax yet again and Andrew Yang counters by touting the horrendous value-added tax. They note how Tulsi Gabbard was the only Democrat on stage who admits President Trump won in 2016 and thinks impeachment will only help Trump in 2020. And they have fun with some of the really bad answers candidates gave when asked to name people who think differently than them but have had a profound impact on their lives.

Democrats on Tuesday night and we've got lots of bites to talk

would play their cards close to the vest on the Tuesday edition of the podcast that's not really what

happened at all in fact Elizabeth Warren was seen I think by pretty much

0:49.4

everybody on that stage with a possible exception of Biden as the clear front-runner because folks

went after her particularly with her ongoing refusal to admit that she'll

raise taxes on the middle class to pay for her universal health care, Medicare for all, single payer, whatever you want to call it.
