Joe Biden now wants to pay for
lesbian dance art degrees- >> [LAUGH]
>> Gender studies degrees.
>> If it wasn't in a different setting,
I'd say that we're replaying the same thing.
No, it's actually Lauren Boebert is replaying the same thing over and
over again.
That zinger about lesbian dance art degrees and also she's talked about her
own education history since she's going through this entire thing.
But the lesbian art dance history degrees or
whatever it is that she made up is definitely a comebacker.
But first, I'm gonna let her get into her own education since she's
disparaging other folks.
>> Joe Biden now wants to pay for
lesbian dance art degrees- >> [LAUGH]
>> Gender studies degrees and
he's robbing you, the American people, to do it.
>> Yes.
>> To pay for someone else's college education.
Now listen, I think I got my GED for less than 100 bucks.
>> [LAUGH] >> There was a reason I didn't go to
college, taking care of my family, putting food on the table.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Getting by with grit,
grace, and determination.
And now I'm on the hook for someone else's college education.
>> She went through grit and determination cuz she had to drop out.
Apparently for reasons of us, she had her first child.
So that's her whole story, that's the background of her.
But, again, in case you guys don't believe me,
she did say the exact same damn thing earlier.
Listen to this.
>> How the heck can Joe Biden call America first Conservatives a threat to
democracy with a straight face and a dry diaper?
He's the one who has allowed millions to invade our southern border.
He's the one who is robbing hard working Americans to pay for
Karen's daughter's degree in lesbian dance theater.
>> In lesbian dance theatre apparently has to be said that particularly for
it to land.
Now, by the way, this is where the hypocrisy and
actually the overlooking of so many Americans then comes in.
Cuz Boebert's talking about how she had this gritty background and this is how she
came up and then she has to now be on the hook for other lazy, non working people.
Let's look at some of these people.
The Biden administration crafted its student debt forgiveness proposal in
an attempt to avoid benefiting the wealthiest families.
To be eligible for $10,000 in student loan forgiveness, debtors must have earned
less than 125,000 or 250K for a married couple in the 2020 or 21 tax years.
Students who receive Pell Grants to attend college, meaning they come from low
income families, overwhelmingly earning less than median household income
in the United States, are eligible for an additional $10,000 in debt relief.
This is an extra boost for those who started higher education
without the safety net of intergenerational wealth.
And an analysis from the Education Department found that almost 90% of
the benefits would go to people earning less than 75,000 year.
Weird how that works because, again, just like Ted Cruz,
who was was calling folks who have student loan debt and
maybe work at Starbucks cuz he needs to bring that up as his example.
They're potheads, they're smoking on the bong all the time.
Maybe you should get a real job and not dealing with that.
Again, a throwaway degree that they just may make up and
say that's everybody's case.
But when it comes to Lauren Boebert, but she's a hard working American.
She got pregnant early and then had a kid.
I wonder what they call minorities who have children early and
maybe have to not go to school to take care of their families.
Think about the names they call them versus what Lauren Boebert
is calling other folks.
>> Yeah, 100%.
And so look, it's nothing wrong without going to college and
college now is so expensive.
It's a real question mark as to whether you should go.
And there's a lot of folks who have other ambitions and
there's, I can't emphasize enough.
How, do you boo, right?
It doesn't matter at all.
But she thought saying there's a reason I didn't go
to college was an own of us and others.
I don't think that was the own you thought it was.
There could be a lot of reasons why you didn't go to college.
In your case, yeah, one of them might be that you wouldn't have gotten in.
I mean, I'm being serious.
I feel bad but you barely got your GED, barely.
I think she just got it right before she went to congress.
Look, there's a broad swath of Americans who have of different backgrounds,
but to weirdly flaunt like,
I barely graduated college, but high, forget college, high school.
Yeah, I barely graduated high school.
All right, but it's a weird thing to dance to.
I'm not hating on you, but it's a weird brag.
So anyways, much more importantly, she's like, now I'm on the hook for
these kids who went to college.
But Lauren, you're also on the hook for trillions of dollars that we printed and
gave to the banks.
Why aren't you concerned about that?
That's way more money.
You're on the hook for all the money we give to defense contractors.
You're on the hook for all the money we give away basically in tax cuts and
loopholes and all that.
That literally worth trillions of dollars and
you're worried about the kid who went to college, right?
But yet, you take donor money from all those corporations and
all the bad guys and you funnel all of our money, way more of our money,
to all those people and we're on the hook to cover for
the richest people in the world and giant corporations?
These guys are such fake populist.
That's why she's bragging about, I barely graduated high school.
Cuz her policies suck.
They're not at all populist.
They help the richest people in the country.
So she's doing fake populism with, hey, listen, I can't go to college.
That's totally fake.
And then one last thing, and none of it is the only she thinks it is.
I mean she's telling the right wing audience that Joe Biden is paying for
lesbian dancers.
I guarantee you that all these like, where, where?
[LAUGH] And meanwhile Boebert's like, no, no, no, don't watch more.
Don't watch where they're like, where's the lesbian dance we're being paid for?
Okay, so that's my guess.
That's the right wing reaction.
>> If I had known that Joe Biden was gonna pay off the tuition for people who majored
in lesbian dance arts, I would have switched my major before I graduated.
Get all that money, get all that loan forgiveness.
No, I mean, yeah, I agree completely, Cenk.
There's nothing shameful in getting a GED.
There's nothing shameful in not graduating high school, especially in America where
we have such an underfunded education system that is particularly lacking
in offering resources to students and low income communities and students with
disabilities who need accommodations and they're just not getting them.
There's no shame in that, there's no shame in and getting your GED later,
not getting your GED at all.
We're not going to college, people take different paths in life.
But there is something shameful about using that as a way to attack others.
So, I mean, when it comes to Lauren Boebert, okay, so maybe for her,
the right path in life was to work really hard and
raise children with her convicted sex offender husband.
But a lot of people worked really hard to go to college.
I'm someone who is gonna benefit from the $20,000 student loan forgiveness,
I had a Pell Grant.
I worked in high school part time.
I worked full time in college to get myself to law school and
now I'm working full time in law school.
It's been hard to get here.
People who have student loan debt are also working hard and
every single person who is going to get benefit from loan forgiveness is
making less money than Lauren Boebert.
So while she stands there and preaches that she's some victim who had to work,
who has to work really hard and she's not a member of the elite.
This is someone who gets to vote on what becomes laws in our country.
This is someone who's making more money than everyone who's benefiting from
this policy.
You might have worked hard before,
you might have had to work hard to get where you are,
to poison people with the disgusting food at the disgusting restaurant you owned.
But now you're a member of the elite, okay?
And you're in a class that should not be admonishing
people who need this loan forgiveness.
>> Yeah, so look, one more thing on the substance here.
Part of the reason that we push for forgiving student debt,
the number one reason was policy, okay?
It's because it's the right thing to do.
And, in fact, for your college, public college should be free and
you should have done it together, get rid of student debt,
make college free so that everyone has access to an education and
an opportunity and to live the American dream.
But the secondary reason is politics.
Think about it guys, it's a genius move because the people who are mad
about the student debt relief are only a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bit mad.
It barely affects their life, right?
Are they gonna vote based on that?
Very unlikely, and if they were they were gonna vote against Biden anyway, okay?
But everyone who got student debt relief,
which is tens of millions of Americans, that affects their lives a lot.
And for the first time in a long time, Democrats have delivered for them and
that makes them way more likely to vote.
And tens of millions of Americans?
That is statistically significant.
And that's part of the reason why Republicans are so upset about this.
But the more they talk about it, the more they fall into that trap.
>> Let's flip the narrative on this whole thing.
We're the greatest country in the world.
I said it this morning to watch this, the greatest country in the world,
the best it's ever seen.
What's the point of being American if you don't benefit from being
an American in the richest country in the world and
having some kind of an opportunity to then get to that point?
Instead, they go, if you get something because you paid into the system so
long and contributed to our society.
If you get something back, you're a lazy POS.
Isn't that horrific thing to say to Americans?
Why do you hate the greatest country in the world?
We make it up, we make up the population of the greatest country in the world.
Why don't we get to contribute and
get some kind of benefit from what we contributed to?
That's the characterization they wanna make you forget about.
