7:59Now PlayingWall Street bankers might be terrified of candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but they are absolutely in love with people like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg. According to recent reports, Wall Street insiders are “buzzing” about these candidates and believe that they would be the best ones for the Democrats to pick because they won’t disrupt their cash flow. This is something that should worry every single Democratic voter, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

As we approach June 30th Democrats running for president understand that that is their filing deadline, so they got to get all the money in while they can before that June 30th filing deadline to show that, hey, I made a lot of money, I've got a lot of donors, I can win this whole thing. And so that is why in this last week and a half of June, we have seen nine different democrats hold nine different fundraisers up in New York, most of them with Wall Street executives and hedge fund managers and other people who really don't want anything in this country to change. According to a recent report by The New York Times, Wall Street is buzzing. They say about three Democrats in particular, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, if Pete Buttigieg, those are the three top candidates among Wall Street's circles on the democratic side. Why? It's pretty obvious they believe these three people are not going to endanger their way of life and their way of life is making as much money as possible.
Even if they end up screwing over consumers and they're confident that either of these three people would not affect that or interfere with it in any way. And that alone should tell voters everything you need to know about these three individuals. And of course there's a few out there who actually say Beto O'Rourke is their guy. Those are red flags folks. And endorsement by Wall Street is not something to be proud of groveling in front of these bankers who only care about how much money they can pack their bank accounts with is not an admirable thing to do. But that is what we have seen these Democrats do in the last week and a half. And some of them even longer than that. You know, a few months ago, in fact, I think it was back in January, politico reported that an anonymous banking executive when talking about the Democratic field and who the Democratic nominee would be said, quote, can't be Warren and it can't be Sanders.
Because those two individuals represent the greatest threat to Wall Street. And any candidate that poses a threat to Wall Street is a good candidate. In my book, and I Know Elizabeth Warren is kind of getting some crap right now. I understand the, the heat for her Medicare for all a non-stance, I guess you could call it, but she's also said maybe I'll take a, you know, pack money or corporate money, whatever it is in the general election. If I win the primary and they're saying, Oh my God, Elizabeth Warren's a sellout. Well listen, I wouldn't be happy with her taking corporate money. However, there is literally nothing in her history that would suggest that money would corrupt her. Yes, she wants to raise money, but it's probably going to be impossible from a lot of industries because they understand that she is not going to bend.
She is not going to break and she is not going to bow down to their demands. She'll take their money. Maybe we'll see and we'll address that when and if it happens. Bernie Sanders. I don't think we have anything to worry about there, but I do not think Elizabeth Warren is a corporate sellout, nor do I think Bernie Sanders is a corporate sellout. And that is why these Wall Street types are so afraid of them, because even if they attempted to throw money at these candidates, they know it's not going to change a damn thing about the way they see the world and the problems that they want to fix.
