I’m making this comment before watching the video. I just read the title of it and two questions that liberals never seem to ask immediately come to mind:

What if government fails to provide for the poor?

or worse:

What if government takes over health care and fails to provide to everyone?

I thought it was a terrifc rwo minutes. I also think the media take-away is,when asked what happens if charities turn away the needy Epstein talked about why it’s good to let them turn people away.
