00:00:25.000 So, everybody is now beginning to realize that Bernie Sanders is going to be the nominee.

00:00:28.000 And the media are freaking out about it.

00:00:30.000 Which is why maybe they should have spent like five seconds asking him, I don't know, sometime over the past 80 years about his viewpoints.

00:00:38.000 That's a long time.

00:00:39.000 The man's been in politics since Richard Nixon was president.

00:00:42.000 And no one has ever asked him, like, a simple question.

00:00:45.000 You're all for nationalization of industry.

00:00:47.000 You love Cuba.

00:00:48.000 You like Venezuela.

00:00:49.000 Nicaragua.

00:00:50.000 You like them.

00:00:51.000 You honeymooned in the USSR.

00:00:52.000 What's your deal, man?

00:00:53.000 Like, no.

00:00:55.000 No questions asked.

00:00:56.000 No questions asked.

00:00:57.000 He was just kind of a kooky friendly guy.

00:00:59.000 Why would we ask him a question?

00:01:00.000 He's like my kooky socialist uncle.

00:01:02.000 Why would we?

00:01:03.000 And so now, you're gonna get him as the nominee, guys.

00:01:06.000 You, you bought this ticket and you're taking this ride.

00:01:09.000 The media are freaking out over it because they're beginning to realize that Bernie Sanders is a uniquely vulnerable candidate.

00:01:14.000 Now the question for Bernie Sanders in the upcoming Trump versus Sanders deathmatch, cage match, the big question for Bernie Sanders is going to be whether Bernie Sanders performs like generic Democrat or whether he performs not like generic Democrat.

00:01:28.000 So in the last election cycle, this is an open question, really is not answerable until we actually get to the election.

00:01:32.000 In the last election cycle, one of the great lies about the last election cycle is that Donald Trump wildly outperformed other Republican presidential candidates.

00:01:40.000 This is simply not true.

00:01:41.000 He performed basically the same as Mitt Romney.

00:01:43.000 He actually won fewer absolute votes in Wisconsin than Mitt Romney did.

00:01:46.000 It's just no one showed up to vote for Hillary Clinton.

00:01:48.000 The going theory is that Donald Trump, because he was so out of the box, because he said so many crazy things, because of the grabbing the p-word tape, because of all of that, that he would significantly underperform other Republican candidates for president.

00:02:00.000 Instead, he performed pretty much directly in line with Bush circa 2000, circa 2004, Mitt Romney circa 2012.

00:02:08.000 The only candidate who wildly underperformed was John McCain, and that was because Barack Obama wildly overperformed.

00:02:13.000 But, in terms of both absolute vote count and in terms of percentage in particular states, he performed within like a point or two of Mitt Romney in virtually every state did Donald Trump.

00:02:23.000 People were asking why, and the answer is because so much of the Trump vote and so much of the Romney vote was an anti-left vote.

00:02:29.000 And so, there was this very solid core of Republicans who were going to, and Independents, who were going to vote against the Democrats no matter what, and Donald Trump didn't change that.

00:02:37.000 In fact, 2016 ended up not being a referendum on Donald Trump and his personality quirks and foibles and all of his personality flaws.

00:02:44.000 Instead, it ended up being a referendum on Hillary Clinton.

00:02:46.000 A bunch of Independents didn't show up to vote for her, a bunch of Democrats didn't show up to vote for her, so Trump Who appeared to be really out of the box, ends up performing exactly like generic Republican, and Hillary Clinton ends up underperforming generic Democrat, or at least underperforming Barack Obama, right?

00:03:01.000 Because the reality is that that election looks a lot like the election of 2004.

00:03:04.000 It looks a lot like, in terms of just the straight numbers, looks a lot like the election of 2004.

00:03:09.000 It doesn't look like 08, looks a little more like 12, and it looks a lot like 2004, 2016.

00:03:12.000 Okay, now fast forward to 2020.

00:03:13.000 So Bernie Sanders is a crazy person.

00:03:17.000 Bernie Sanders is a socialist who threatens the free market structures of the United States, who has suggested direct intervention by the federal government into every area of American life.

00:03:27.000 He has suggested national rent control, which would destroy the real estate market.

00:03:31.000 He has suggested a Green New Deal that would essentially nationalize huge swaths of the energy sector.

00:03:37.000 He has suggested procedures that would ultimately involve nationalizing banks.

00:03:41.000 He actually wants to communalize or municipalize or nationalize banks.

00:03:45.000 He wants the post office to become a lender, a first resort.

00:03:49.000 Bernie Sanders wants the federal government to be first and foremost in your life.

00:03:53.000 He wants probably the majority of the American economy run, owned, or at least Heavily, heavily supervised by the American government.

00:04:03.000 That is going to have a real impact.

00:04:05.000 Also, on foreign policy, Bernie Sanders is anti-American.

00:04:07.000 What I mean is that he actually believes that America is a nefarious force in the world, that minimizing America's capacity to project force around the world would not only be in the interest of Americans, but presumably in the interest of his socialist brethren around the world, and that we would be less offensive if we were treated inside our own borders, and if we gave the lead to countries like Russia and China and allowed them to do basically whatever they want.

00:04:28.000 I mean, he literally tweeted out the other day, That America's military budget is too large.

00:04:32.000 What if we used all of that to redistribute peace around the world, basically?

00:04:35.000 What if we used all of that money for social safety programs?

00:04:38.000 I mean, he's campaigning on the basis of the song Imagine.

00:04:41.000 So, is he going to perform like generic Democrat, like Hillary Clinton, or is he going to underperform Hillary Clinton?

00:04:47.000 Now, I would bet that he's going to underperform Hillary Clinton.

00:04:49.000 The reason is that Hillary Clinton performed very solidly with suburban women.

00:04:52.000 It's a real hole for Trump.

00:04:54.000 One of the big questions in 2018 was how Trump was going to perform among suburban women.

00:04:58.000 And he really underperformed in 2018 among suburban women.

00:05:00.000 In 2016, basically Trump traded rural white men for suburban women.

00:05:05.000 That was the straight up trade.

00:05:06.000 Mitt Romney did pretty well with suburban white women particularly.

00:05:10.000 Married white women, living in the suburbs, he did real well, and he didn't do quite as well among rural voters.

00:05:15.000 Trump did great among rural voters, and he lost a lot of the suburbs.

00:05:19.000 And in 2018, that came back to bite him because a lot of the rural folks showed up, but every suburban voter showed up, every urban voter showed up, and the Democrats swamped the Republicans in congressional elections across the country.

00:05:28.000 Well, what about Bernie?

00:05:29.000 You know, Hillary Clinton is not threatening to suburban women.

00:05:32.000 Bernie Sanders is almost tailor-made to make suburban women rethink their vote for Democrats.

00:05:38.000 Number one, his Bernie bros are just as toxic in terms of their masculinity as anything Trump has ever done.

00:05:44.000 Number two, he's a real threat.

00:05:47.000 Remember, George W. Bush in 2004 won the so-called security moms, people who were concerned about their security and the security of their children.

00:05:57.000 Bush won those people.

00:05:59.000 They were supposed to go for Kerry.

00:06:00.000 Bush won them.

00:06:01.000 And at the same time, suburban women, many of them, have kids, families.

00:06:06.000 That's why they're living in the suburbs in the first place.

00:06:08.000 A solid economy is something that they would like.

00:06:11.000 Bernie threatens that.

00:06:12.000 Bernie is somebody they find very threatening.

00:06:14.000 So suburban women could rethink that and maybe cast their vote for Trump.

00:06:17.000 I said in an earlier podcast that they would hold their nose and vote for Trump.

00:06:20.000 I'm of course not talking about the women who voted for Trump in 2016.

00:06:23.000 They don't have to hold their nose.

00:06:23.000 I'm talking specifically about the female voters who didn't vote Republican in 2018.

00:06:29.000 Who voted Democrat or who voted Democrat in 2016.

00:06:31.000 A lot of those women are going to have to look at Bernie and say, OK, he's a threat to my family.

00:06:36.000 His agenda is a threat to my 401k.

00:06:39.000 And forget about whatever Trump is, right?

00:06:41.000 Trump's ad rings home for these women and for many people, right?

00:06:45.000 He may not be a nice guy, he may say dumb crap on Twitter, but is he a threat to the very status of the American economy?

00:06:49.000 Clearly not.

00:06:50.000 The American economy has been doing gangbusters under Trump.

00:06:52.000 Is he a threat to America on the world stage?

00:06:54.000 Is he a threat to our American military?

00:06:56.000 Obviously not.

00:06:57.000 So the question of Bernie Sanders wildly overperforming Hillary Clinton, I don't think that there's any shot of that.

00:07:03.000 Does he wildly underperform Hillary Clinton?

00:07:05.000 Well, I think he does worse among women.

00:07:07.000 And particularly among suburban women.

00:07:08.000 I think that he does probably better among young voters, but they don't show up to vote as much and he does way worse among voters over the age of 65.

00:07:16.000 He's not comforting voters over the age of 65 who show up in droves.

00:07:20.000 Those voters remember when communism was the bad guy.

00:07:24.000 Like Bernie Sanders is the guy who watches Air Force One and roots for the Russian revolutionaries.

00:07:28.000 Bernie Sanders is the guy who watched Red Dawn and he wondered why those juvenile delinquents are up in the woods shooting all the good guys.

00:07:36.000 So why exactly would anybody over the age of 50 who remembers the Soviet Union, why would they vote for Bernie Sanders?

00:07:41.000 So the going theory among all of these sort of political wonks is that Bernie will wildly underperform.

00:07:46.000 Now, it's possible that's wrong.

00:07:47.000 It's possible that Bernie performs exactly like Hillary, that we are so polarized as a country that you can put anybody, you can put a bag of flaming dog crap at the top of the Democratic ticket and they will perform exactly like Hillary Clinton.

00:07:57.000 That there is no such thing as underperforming Hillary.

00:08:00.000 Possible.

00:08:01.000 Possible, but the Democrats are taking an awful risk, Vader.

00:08:03.000 They'd better hope that it works.

00:08:05.000 And members of the media are beginning to realize that.

00:08:06.000 I'll show you that in just one second.

00:08:08.000 First, let's talk about how you can save time and how you can save money.

00:08:11.000 So, if you run a small business, if you send a lot of mail, if you're somebody who has to use the post office a lot, you know, it's kind of a pain in the butt to take all those packages, put them in the back of your car, schlep them over to the post office.

00:08:21.000 Even if you have people who do that for you, you have to pay them in order to do that.

00:08:24.000 They have to go to the post office.

00:08:25.000 They have to wait in line.

00:08:27.000 Well, I do all of that.

00:08:28.000 When you could just do all of this directly from your office or directly from home.

00:08:31.000 Saves you time and it saves you money.

00:08:32.000 Stamps.com.

00:09:28.000 Stamps.com.

00:09:29.000 Enter Shapiro.

00:09:30.000 Okay, so let's say that Bernie Sanders were to wildly underperform Donald Trump.

00:09:35.000 So what exactly would that look like in terms of which states are back in play?

00:09:40.000 The answer is a lot of states are in play.

00:09:43.000 People tend to think that Trump squeaked it out.

00:09:45.000 He did squeak it out.

00:09:46.000 But he squeaked it out because there are a lot of states that were very close that won for Hillary Clinton.

00:09:50.000 If you look at the battleground states, There were many, many states, many battleground states that were absolute squeakers.

00:09:58.000 So Trump squeaked it out in Michigan.

00:09:59.000 He squeaked it out in Pennsylvania.

00:10:00.000 He squeaked it out in Wisconsin.

00:10:01.000 Now, there's some new polling that shows that Donald Trump is leading pretty heavily in Wisconsin against whoever runs against him.

00:10:10.000 So if he wins Wisconsin, the election's over.

00:10:12.000 If he holds all the other states and he wins Wisconsin, he's re-elected.

00:10:17.000 Now, the chances that Bernie is going to win Florida, I think, are very bad.

00:10:19.000 I think that Bernie is going to run horribly in Florida.

00:10:22.000 First of all, you have the Cuban expatriate population.

00:10:25.000 Bernie Sanders basically wishes that he had been a member of the Cuban Revolution.

00:10:28.000 I mean, he literally has, he's on tape talking about how he feels bad that the United States opposed the Castros.

00:10:34.000 So, he ain't gonna go great in Miami.

00:10:36.000 Man, there's a big Jewish population, an older Jewish population, that looks at Bernie Sanders, and contrary to public opinion, and popular opinion, they don't look at Bernie Sanders and say, oh look, a fellow old Jew.

00:10:46.000 Instead they look at Bernie Sanders and see a guy who campaigns with Linda Sarsour, a guy who campaigns with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and he's a threat to the state of Israel, they're not gonna love Bernie Sanders either.

00:10:54.000 So Bernie basically is giving up Florida.

00:10:56.000 Okay, which means that the other battleground states that Trump won, Those states that were apparently supremely close in favor of Donald Trump, none of those I see moving back into the Democratic aisle, right?

00:11:07.000 I don't see Ohio moving back Democratic.

00:11:09.000 In fact, it's gotten redder since President Trump won that state.

00:11:14.000 You could theoretically see Arizona realigning, but I don't see how Arizona really realigns under Sanders, considering how extreme he is on immigration.

00:11:22.000 Remember, even Kyrsten Sinema, who is the very kind of at heart left senator from Arizona, she has campaigned to the right.

00:11:30.000 She's actually voted to the right.

00:11:31.000 She's famously, during the State of the Union, stood up and cheered the Trump tax cuts because Arizona is fairly Trumpy.

00:11:31.000 She's voted.

00:11:39.000 Some of the other states that Democrats were hoping to flip, like Georgia, that is not flipping for Bernie.

00:11:43.000 Georgia is not flipping blue for Bernie.

00:11:45.000 It's not a thing that's going to happen.

00:11:46.000 Indiana, not flipping blue for Bernie.

00:11:49.000 Iowa has gotten redder, not bluer.

00:11:52.000 So, there are not a lot of Republican states that are up for grabs, other than Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, in the last election cycle.

00:11:59.000 And right now, obviously, if you look at Wisconsin, Trump's running away with Wisconsin.

00:12:04.000 So, heavy odds on Trump to be re-elected if Bernie Sanders is the nominee.

00:12:09.000 Beyond that, you have New Hampshire, which Bernie tends to outperform in because it's neighboring to his state of Vermont.

00:12:17.000 But, New Hampshire, Hillary only won that by 0.37% of the vote.

00:12:22.000 Bernie could alienate- there are a lot of New Hampshireites who are not big into heavy taxation.

00:12:27.000 That's why they're living in New Hampshire and not Massachusetts.

00:12:29.000 And so that state could easily flip for Trump.

00:12:31.000 Minnesota could easily flip for Trump.

00:12:33.000 Nevada could certainly flip for Trump.

00:12:36.000 I mean, I don't think Bernie has wild popularity in Nevada, particularly since he's threatening to take away all of the health care plans for union members, even while he lies about it.

00:12:44.000 You could see Colorado fairly easily shift in favor of President Trump because Colorado is a purple state, it is not an overtly blue state.

00:12:51.000 Virginia could shift for Trump, especially as a backlash to the Democratic Assembly in Virginia, which has been pushing further and further left.

00:13:00.000 New Mexico, which was not particularly close, could shift for Trump.

00:13:04.000 So you could theoretically see a situation in which the vast majority of states go for President Trump.

00:13:10.000 You could see Trump pick up an additional 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, maybe up to 7 additional states.

00:13:17.000 President Trump.

00:13:17.000 And that would be just a whopping blowout.

00:13:19.000 Can you imagine a world in which Donald Trump walks away from this election cycle winning 37 to 40 states?

00:13:25.000 Can you imagine that?

00:13:26.000 Because that's a real possibility.

00:13:28.000 The media can imagine this.

00:13:29.000 Here's a quick mashup.

00:13:31.000 I can't remember who got this.

00:13:32.000 Maybe the Washington Examiner.

00:13:34.000 Here's a quick mashup of members of the media absolutely in a state of sheer panic over the fact that Bernie Sanders is likely to be the nominee.

00:13:40.000 The truth is Bernie Sanders is on its trajectory to be the Democratic nominee.

00:13:43.000 To me, I just don't see him having any shot in a general election, and I'm panicked.

00:13:49.000 I am absolutely panicked.

00:13:51.000 No one but Bernie, Stephanie.

00:13:53.000 Come on.

00:13:54.000 He's an anarchist.

00:13:55.000 He would love to burn down the United States.

00:13:58.000 If we nominate a socialist like Bernie Sanders, we're gonna lose.

00:14:02.000 It'll be like George McGovern.

00:14:04.000 It'll be a blowout.

00:14:05.000 Tom Perez needs to step down.

00:14:07.000 He's a joke.

00:14:08.000 He's a clown.

00:14:09.000 He can't run the Democratic Party anymore.

00:14:12.000 It's lost its way.

00:14:15.000 Just amazing.

00:14:16.000 So, they're beginning to realize this is a mistake.

00:14:17.000 Meanwhile, the Democratic upper echelon, they're desperately praying that somebody will provide a rival to Bernie, which is why Bloomberg is still on that stage.

00:14:25.000 In just one second, we're going to get to the possibility of an open convention.

00:14:27.000 Right now, over at 538, if you look at their estimates of what they think is going to happen, right now, they say that the number one possibility At 2 in 5 possibility, no majority for any candidate going into the Democratic Convention, which means an open convention.

00:14:42.000 What does that mean?

00:14:43.000 I'll explain in just one second.

00:14:45.000 First, let's talk about the importance of good sleep.

00:14:47.000 So, my wife right now is like right on the verge of going into labor.

00:14:51.000 I could happen in the middle of the show.

00:14:53.000 My phone is on.

00:14:54.000 Okay, and that means we are not sleeping great.

00:14:56.000 But when we are able to sleep, it is only because of the comfort and luxury of a Helix Sleep Mattress.

00:16:06.000 Okay, so as I say, 538 right now suggests that the most likely scenario in the Democratic primaries is that nobody emerges with a majority of the delegates.

00:16:14.000 Now, I think that's wrong.

00:16:15.000 I think that Sanders probably ends up winning a majority of delegates, but The Democratic Party is desperately, desperately hoping that that's what happens.

00:16:23.000 Right now, 538 is estimating that Bloomberg could win up to...

00:16:29.000 A thousand delegates?

00:16:30.000 Biden could still win up to a thousand delegates, which is why I think that their estimates are way off, unless Biden shows very strong in Nevada tomorrow.

00:16:37.000 The Nevada caucuses are tomorrow, but this is why you're starting to see this move inside the Democratic Party, trying to hold off Sanders, even if he has a plurality of the delegates.

00:16:46.000 So you'll remember, back at that bleep show debate the other night, every Democrat on stage was asked, should the delegate leader in the clubhouse be the person who gets the nomination, even if they don't win a majority?

00:16:56.000 And every single person on the stage said no.

00:16:58.000 Every single person on the stage said we have to let the process play out.

00:17:00.000 What they mean by that is open convention.

00:17:02.000 I get to barter my delegates for a position in your cabinet.

00:17:05.000 Three of us get to side together and make you the president, or the presidential nominee, Harry Reid, who's the former Senate Majority Leader.

00:17:13.000 He says that Bernie Sanders should need more than a plurality to win the Democratic nomination.

00:17:17.000 He came out yesterday and dismissed suggestions from Sanders and his supporters that he should become the nominee if he finishes with a plurality lead ahead of the candidates, but short of the 1,991 delegates needed to secure the nomination outright, according to the Washington Post.

00:17:30.000 Reid says, here's how I feel about this.

00:17:31.000 I don't think anybody, Bernie Sanders or anyone else, should simply get the nomination because they have 30% of the delegates and no one else has that many.

00:17:37.000 Let's say he has 35%.

00:17:38.000 Well, 65% he doesn't have.

00:17:40.000 Or that person doesn't have.

00:17:41.000 I think we have to let the system work its way out.

00:17:44.000 Right now, that is the likeliest possible scenario.

00:17:45.000 That is a scenario that is geared for disaster for the Democrats.

00:17:49.000 If the Democrats deny Bernie the nomination on the basis that he doesn't have a majority of delegates but he has a plurality of delegates, they risk the ire of the Bernie bros simply walking out.

00:17:58.000 Because remember, Bernie started as a not a member of the Democratic Party, and he probably has no problem with leaving the Democratic Party over this, again.

00:18:05.000 But this is the reason why Michael Bloomberg is pouring money into this race.

00:18:09.000 He feels like if he denies a shot to Bernie, right, if he denies it, then maybe, just maybe, his pledges of cash, I mean, it's always worked for him before, right?

00:18:17.000 Bloomberg has always been able to basically bribe everybody around him in New York City to shut the hell up.

00:18:21.000 So, Bloomberg's plan is, I don't win as many delegates as Bernie.

00:18:26.000 He doesn't want a majority of delegates.

00:18:27.000 I don't have as many delegates, but I do have this giant bag of cash right here.

00:18:32.000 I'm the person who is most likely to beat Donald Trump, probably.

00:18:35.000 I'm not giving up a lot of the states.

00:18:36.000 Like, Bloomberg would be competitive in Florida in a way that Bernie Sanders would not, for example.

00:18:41.000 So you can see Bloomberg going to the upper echelon of the Democratic Party and saying, okay, you might lose the Bernie bros, but the vast majority of them are going to vote Democrat anyway.

00:18:48.000 Bernie's coalition is not all that strong.

00:18:50.000 And here is a giant gob of money.

00:18:53.000 Here's $3 billion.

00:18:56.000 Bloomberg is worth $65 billion.

00:19:00.000 $65 billion.

00:19:01.000 Okay?

00:19:02.000 Let's put it this way.

00:19:03.000 In the last election cycle, the Trump campaign spent about a billion dollars.

00:19:07.000 Bloomberg could drop $5 billion into this race personally, personally, and not even dent his personal fortune in a serious way.

00:19:14.000 So he could go to the Democratic Party and say, listen, you know, you may think that you're going to piss off the Bernie bros and the Bernie supporters.

00:19:20.000 What if I just give you $5 billion?

00:19:22.000 What if I just, seriously, what if I just sink?

00:19:24.000 Several million dollars into every single Democratic Party race around the country.

00:19:29.000 You don't have to worry about fundraising anymore.

00:19:30.000 You don't have to worry about anything.

00:19:31.000 I will literally just buy the party.

00:19:33.000 I will go to the party in Oklahoma, and I will say to the party in Oklahoma, which has never been competitive, here is a hundred million dollars.

00:19:39.000 Enjoy yourselves.

00:19:40.000 That's what Bloomberg is hoping for, which is why Bloomberg is staying in this campaign.

00:19:45.000 And Bloomberg is sounding the alarm, right?

00:19:47.000 The campaign manager, Bloomberg's campaign manager came out yesterday.

00:19:49.000 He said there may not be much campaign after Super Tuesday, right?

00:19:53.000 So Biden better get the hell out because if Biden is still in and he splits the vote with Bloomberg and Bernie just runs right down that left flank, right?

00:19:59.000 If he takes the inside rail and wins all those primaries, it's over.

00:20:03.000 What they are saying basically is, just deny Bernie the nomination, just deny him the nomination, and Michael Bloomberg will sweep in with this giant bag of cash, and then he will make things right with the world.

00:20:13.000 Here was Bloomberg's campaign manager suggesting that basically Biden needs to get the hell out right now.

00:20:19.000 I think Mike is clearly firmly in second place in March states.

00:20:23.000 Public polling shows that.

00:20:23.000 Our polling shows that.

00:20:25.000 It also shows Bernie Sanders growing that lead over Mike and everyone else in the field.

00:20:29.000 And there is a real possibility because California is so big and so early in the schedule this year that Bernie racks up a lead in that state on Super Tuesday that quite frankly is just uncatchable.

00:20:40.000 Um, and so, uh, I think this, you know, listen, I think we may know a lot about this campaign very early.

00:20:46.000 It may be that there's not much of a campaign in March after that date, uh, but we're certainly fighting as hard as we can to make sure that there is.

00:20:52.000 Yeah, I mean, that, that is them putting up the smoke signal to the Democratic Party.

00:20:55.000 Guys, see this bag of cash?

00:20:57.000 You see how it's gradually receding into the distance?

00:20:59.000 You see that happening right now?

00:20:59.000 You see that?

00:21:01.000 Well, maybe you better urge some of these other people to get out of the way.

00:21:03.000 Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren, Mongo, just punching that horse from Blazing Saddles.

00:21:08.000 So I said yesterday that Elizabeth Warren, in the middle of that debate, just decided that she was gonna punch a horse.

00:21:13.000 No one knew why, right?

00:21:14.000 She's in the Bernie Sanders lane, and she's like, what if I just punch Bloomberg?

00:21:17.000 Just over and over, for no reason.

00:21:19.000 And Mongo, from Blazing Saddles, punching the horse.

00:21:21.000 Well, she continues to punch the horse.

00:21:22.000 She's out there today saying that she used to teach contract law, and she's offering to release women from their NDAs by texting an NDA release to Michael Bloomberg to release them from their NDAs because she punched Bloomberg over all of this.

00:21:34.000 I mean, she's so terrible, Elizabeth Warren, and she's desperately trying to get back.

00:21:38.000 Into this race.

00:21:39.000 She's also wildly dishonest, but if her strategy is to tear down Bloomberg, she's going to make Sanders the nominee, right?

00:21:44.000 I mean, that is obviously what is going on.

00:21:46.000 This is a two-person race, and it's going to be even more of a two-person race after Biden gets destroyed tomorrow.

00:21:51.000 Biden is toast.

00:21:52.000 Okay, Biden was not even alive on that debate stage.

00:21:55.000 Nobody paid one whit of attention to Joe Biden.

00:21:57.000 Your national poll leader for nearly wire to wire.

00:22:00.000 That guy?

00:22:02.000 Joe Biden, he was on the stage and everybody treated him like he was a piece of the scenery.

00:22:08.000 They treated him like his podium was there and he was not behind it.

00:22:12.000 I think he's gonna get shellacked tomorrow in Nevada.

00:22:13.000 I think he's gonna get shellacked in South Carolina.

00:22:15.000 I think that Biden is done.

00:22:16.000 And that means this is a two-man race, Sanders and Bloomberg, which really means that Sanders has the upper hand right here.

00:22:23.000 And that's why Bloomberg points out, and he's correct, that the real winner of the debate the other night was Donald Trump.

00:22:29.000 The real winner in the debate last night was Donald Trump.

00:22:34.000 Because I worry that we may very well be on the way to nominating somebody who cannot win in November.

00:22:40.000 And if we choose a candidate who appeals to a small base like Senator Sanders, it will be a fatal error.

00:22:46.000 Okay, so that's his campaign.

00:22:48.000 That's his campaign.

00:22:48.000 We're gonna get to more of this and we're gonna get to President Trump himself and his own foibles.

00:22:53.000 And as I've said, if Bernie Sanders is the nominee, Trump does not have room to make a mistake.

00:22:58.000 Because if Trump loses to Bernie Sanders, that is on no one, no one but President Trump.

00:23:02.000 Everything else is baked into the cake.

00:23:03.000 Okay, we'll get to that in just one second.

00:23:05.000 First, let's talk about a sad reality of life that is two out of three dudes are going to experience some form of male pattern baldness by the time they are 35.

00:23:14.000 I like my hair.

00:23:15.000 I'm not in the mood to lose it.

00:24:32.000 Okay?

00:24:33.000 Beat him like a red-headed stepchild.

00:24:35.000 That is what Trump has to do in this election.

00:24:39.000 And there's good news.

00:24:41.000 President Trump is a weapon.

00:24:43.000 The man is fantastic at destroying people.

00:24:45.000 Himself too, but he's fantastic at destroying other people.

00:24:47.000 He took Hillary Clinton, he broke her into little pieces and then he flushed her.

00:24:51.000 Donald Trump is a destroyer.

00:24:53.000 He's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

00:24:55.000 They chose the form of their destroyer and now he has come to New York City.

00:24:58.000 And Donald Trump is fantastic at this, right?

00:25:00.000 You give him a piece of material and he's like a dog with a bone.

00:25:02.000 He's never going to let it go.

00:25:03.000 As I pointed out the other day, after Bloomberg went after Bernie and his Lakeside Dasha, after that happened, I said, if you think that was bad when Bloomberg went after Bernie, wait until Donald Trump makes a little model of the Lakeside Dacha and starts bringing it around to his campaign rallies.

00:25:20.000 Wait until he actually does a campaign in front of that Lakeside Dacha in Vermont on Lake Champlain.

00:25:27.000 Wait until Donald Trump goes to that Dacha and pries up a piece of the floorboard and then physically beats Bernie Sanders on stage with it.

00:25:34.000 Like, Donald Trump may do any or all of these things, That is Donald Trump's specialty.

00:25:39.000 He's got a lot to work with with Bernie Sanders.

00:25:42.000 He's got ads he can work with in Pennsylvania.

00:25:44.000 Right now he's trailing Bernie in Pennsylvania according to the latest polling.

00:25:48.000 Not a single ad has been put out in Pennsylvania about the fact that Bernie Sanders wants to ban fracking, which is responsible for tens if not hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state of Pennsylvania.

00:25:57.000 I mean, nothing has been done in the state of Pennsylvania about the fact that Pittsburgh, you know what the number one industry in Pittsburgh is?

00:26:02.000 The number one industry in Pittsburgh is the healthcare industry.

00:26:04.000 If you nationalize the healthcare industry, you know what happens to a lot of those jobs?

00:26:08.000 They're gone, right?

00:26:09.000 Everybody in health insurance?

00:26:10.000 Kaput.

00:26:12.000 It's amazing to me how whenever people talk about job loss, and they talk about trade, you know what would create an awful lot of job loss?

00:26:17.000 The millions of people working in healthcare and health insurance would be out of work if nationalization of the industry were to happen.

00:26:24.000 Those jobs don't automatically get transferred over to the government gang.

00:26:27.000 A lot of people end up out of work.

00:26:28.000 Pittsburgh.

00:26:29.000 It moved from a steel-working town into a healthcare-centric town, filled with hospitals and medical centers.

00:26:34.000 What do you think happens when Bernie nationalizes the healthcare system?

00:26:37.000 When he goes full NHS, which by the way is the second step to Medicare for All.

00:26:41.000 Medicare for All starts with low reimbursement rates, then when hospitals can no longer perform, the hospitals end up nationalized and the doctors end up working directly for the government.

00:26:49.000 That is the way that that ends up working.

00:26:50.000 So, What do you think Trump is going to do with all that in Pennsylvania?

00:26:54.000 The answer is an awful lot, an awful lot.

00:26:56.000 What do you think Trump is going to do about the fact that Bernie Sanders, in the state of Michigan, stands against the capacity of auto companies to build autos that the American people like?

00:27:08.000 Remember, Bernie basically wants to shut down the fossil fuel industry.

00:27:11.000 But what do you think makes the economy of Michigan go?

00:27:14.000 I mean, that's an auto-based economy.

00:27:16.000 So, Trump has plenty to work with, in other words.

00:27:18.000 So, what this means is that Trump has to avoid the big boo-boo.

00:27:21.000 This is always the problem.

00:27:22.000 So, Trump has two specific obstacles.

00:27:24.000 One is the possibility of an economic downturn.

00:27:26.000 That one is outside of his control.

00:27:28.000 And the other is how Trump acts.

00:27:29.000 And that one is certainly within his control.

00:27:31.000 And I know that we in the Republican Party have this fondness for treating Donald Trump as sort of a quasi-child.

00:27:35.000 And when he does something wrong, it's like, oh, isn't that cute?

00:27:37.000 And then when he does something right, like, oh, we're so proud of him!

00:27:40.000 Okay, but here's the deal.

00:27:41.000 President Trump is, he's a, the man is in his 70s.

00:27:44.000 He's inordinately successful.

00:27:47.000 He ran for president once, and he became president.

00:27:49.000 He obviously has the capacity to do smart things, so why would we not want him to do those things all the time, especially when the alternative... People said it was a Flight 93 election against Hillary Clinton, and I argued, it's not really a Flight 93 election.

00:28:01.000 Like, it's bad, but it isn't a Flight... It's not like the plane... America's plane is going down either way, so charge the cockpit.

00:28:07.000 With Bernie, it's a Flight 93 election, right?

00:28:10.000 You have now radicalized half the population into almost full-scale communism.

00:28:14.000 This is a Flight 93 election, so Trump has to go for broke.

00:28:17.000 And not only does he have to go for broke, he has to run a strong campaign because it's on him.

00:28:21.000 If you get a candidate as weak as Bernie, as unpopular as Bernie's policies are, The American people do not want an octogenarian socialist who has pledged to destroy the American economy and our foreign policy standing as President of the United States.

00:28:32.000 If you lose to that, that's on you.

00:28:34.000 That's on you.

00:28:34.000 So there are only two possibilities for how Trump loses this election.

00:28:37.000 One is the economy.

00:28:38.000 The second is Trump.

00:28:39.000 So on the economy, the news today is that the treasury yields are absolutely collapsing, which suggests that people are very wary about the economic future.

00:28:48.000 The way that this works is that the demand for a treasury bond and the yield of that treasury bond work in inverse proportions.

00:28:54.000 So the more demand there is for a treasury bond, the more the yield drops.

00:28:58.000 So when the yield drops dramatically, that means that people are investing a lot of money into bonds.

00:29:03.000 And that's what's been happening in the 10-year treasury note yield.

00:29:06.000 The 10-year, this is according to marketwatch.com, the 10-year treasury note yield was down three basis points to 1.495, the lowest since last September.

00:29:14.000 The 2-year note rate edged 1.4 basis points lower to 1.381%.

00:29:16.000 basis points lower to 1.381%.

00:29:19.000 The 30-year bond yield slipped 4.2% basis points to 1.930 percentage points, falling well below its previous all-time low of 1.95%.

00:29:28.000 According to MarketWatch.com, global equity benchmarks and U.S.

00:29:33.000 stock futures fell Friday as the growing number of cases of the coronavirus outside China, especially in South Korea, raised fears that the damage to supply chains could hit several major Asian economies, which are linchpins for industries like semiconductors and automobiles.

00:29:45.000 So people are banking on the fact that coronavirus may be destroying supply chains.

00:29:49.000 This is certainly true, by the way.

00:29:49.000 I mean, I work with businesses who work with folks in Hong Kong, and they've been just stifled.

00:29:54.000 Like, everything is closed over in Hong Kong.

00:29:56.000 Everything in China is closed.

00:29:58.000 It's one of the reasons why you saw, I believe it was Wilbur Ross, the Commerce Secretary, suggesting that in the future people are going to start investing in American factories because, I mean, do you really want to invest in a country where every five years there's a SARS or a MERS or a coronavirus outbreak?

00:30:11.000 And we're going to get to more of the economic news, which is a little scary for the Trump candidacy and for the global economy, which is Even more important.

00:30:19.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:30:20.000 But first, let's talk about how you make your business better.

00:30:23.000 Well, here's an easy way.

00:30:23.000 First, don't invest in a live animal market in China.

00:30:27.000 But second, make sure that you have all the data about your own company.

00:30:32.000 How can you make sure that this happens?

00:30:34.000 Well, you don't want to be like a pilot flying blind without any data, right?

00:30:38.000 You need all of the data at your disposal.

00:33:18.000 Join today.

00:33:18.000 Start the year off right.

00:33:20.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:33:23.000 So as I say, threat number one to campaign Trump 2020 is the economy.

00:33:33.000 If the economy collapses, anybody could be president.

00:33:35.000 This is what we learned in 2008 when John McCain had finally, finally peaked in the polls against Barack Obama.

00:33:40.000 The economy collapsed, boom, blowout for Obama.

00:33:43.000 Okay, the same thing could happen here.

00:33:45.000 Right now, MarketWatch is reporting global equity benchmarks and U.S.

00:33:47.000 stock futures fell Friday.

00:33:49.000 As the growing number of cases of the coronavirus outside China, especially in South Korea, raised fears that the damage to supply chains could hit several major Asian economies, which are linchpins for industries like semiconductors and automobiles.

00:34:01.000 Investors say it's unclear when workers will be able to return to factory floors.

00:34:05.000 Some forecasters suggest car manufacturing and other industries may not return to usual production activity until March.

00:34:10.000 The bearish investor sentiment in risk assets helped boost demand for haven bonds, which have seen sharp inflows all week.

00:34:16.000 Long-term treasury yields are on the verge or have already broken through key levels that investors say could presage further yield declines.

00:34:22.000 Worries about a Chinese and Asian economic slowdown spilling over into the United States have also lifted traders' expectations for interest rate cuts later in the year, despite speeches by senior Fed Reserve officials suggesting no further easing was imminent.

00:34:34.000 So it's possible that you get a little more inflation in order to jog things.

00:34:38.000 In economic data, U.S.

00:34:39.000 existing home sales for January were due this morning.

00:34:43.000 Economists pulled by MarketWatch expect sales to run an annualized pace of 5.39 million down slightly from 5.54 million in December.

00:34:51.000 So people are very worried, obviously, about coronavirus and the fallout they're from.

00:34:54.000 So that is risk number one to Trump.

00:34:56.000 That one's outside his control.

00:34:56.000 Then there's the stuff that's in his control.

00:34:58.000 And this is the stuff like, don't look corrupt.

00:35:01.000 Right?

00:35:02.000 Sounds reasonable, right?

00:35:03.000 I mean, the president is not corrupt, right, as far as I can tell.

00:35:06.000 I know that the left has been shouting about emoluments and all of this and President Trump abusing the power of his office in order to accomplish certain private goals.

00:35:16.000 I mean, I think the president is vindictive and thin-skinned.

00:35:19.000 I think that the president has a weird notion that the presidency of the United States is sort of like a talk radio call line, and that he should use his Twitter account in order to yell at members of his administration.

00:35:29.000 But every time that the president is told by his advisors to back off, he generally does.

00:35:33.000 It's very rare the president overrules his advisors, and then just goes and does something anyway.

00:35:36.000 When he does, it ends up badly.

00:35:38.000 When people inside his administration are like, Mr. President, why don't you not deploy Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to go root around in 2016-related material, and Trump's like, I don't care, I like Rudy, do it.

00:35:47.000 It doesn't work out great.

00:35:50.000 He's had this one bugaboo, and it's been in his ear, this bug in his ear, like an earworm, it's been there since 2016.

00:35:56.000 And that is, President Trump believes he has been unfairly denied credit for his stunning victory in 2016 because the media have continued to focus in on the interference of Russia in the election.

00:36:06.000 He's been saying this for four years at this point.

00:36:09.000 That, you guys keep focusing on Russia, Russia this and Russia that.

00:36:13.000 And you keep saying that Russia interfered at my behest and all of this stuff.

00:36:17.000 And it wasn't.

00:36:17.000 It was me.

00:36:18.000 OK, so a few things are true.

00:36:20.000 One.

00:36:21.000 Trump won the election.

00:36:22.000 Second, Hillary lost the election.

00:36:24.000 Third, Russia did try to interfere with the election through WikiLeaks and distribution of information.

00:36:30.000 Four, the extent of that interference online, particularly on Facebook, has been wildly exaggerated by the media and by the Senate Democrats, who suggest that Facebook was just papered with Russian propaganda that shifted the election.

00:36:41.000 There's very little evidence that is the case.

00:36:43.000 As I've talked about before, the actual statistics on Russian Facebook posts, and their reach is astonishingly minimal.

00:36:49.000 I mean, seriously.

00:36:50.000 They are so unsuccessful on Facebook, it makes... As one of the companies that is most successful on Facebook, I can tell you, the numbers that were being put out for Russia's reach were, like, ridiculous.

00:37:00.000 Like, I have more reach on my personal Facebook page in one month than the entire Russian government had in all of 2016, in terms of its sort of interference, or at least its sort of attention, how many people were paying attention to it on Facebook.

00:37:13.000 But, All these things can be simultaneously true.

00:37:15.000 Russia tried to interfere.

00:37:16.000 Russia tried to interfere on behalf of Trump because they didn't like Hillary Clinton and they were angry at Hillary Clinton.

00:37:21.000 Russia was aiming for chaos, which they achieved.

00:37:23.000 The Democrats have maximized that to suggest that Trump didn't legitimately win and that this has got under Trump's skin.

00:37:28.000 And that's the last one that is a problem.

00:37:30.000 The reason the last one is a problem is because when something is under Trump's skin, he allows himself to make stupid decisions.

00:37:36.000 And this is why he was talking to Roger Stone, and this is why he is now talking about pardoning Roger Stone, which makes it look to the general public as though Roger Stone was trying to funnel him information about WikiLeaks, and then lying in order to cover for President Trump, and then went to jail, and then Trump pardoned him.

00:37:51.000 Right, so this is why it's really stupid for Trump to talk about exonerating Roger Stone and getting involved in the Roger Stone case.

00:37:57.000 President Trump is the head of the Justice Department.

00:37:59.000 William Barr, the Attorney General, just recommended a sentence from the Justice Department.

00:38:03.000 Now, the case itself, the controversy over the sentencing, was very stupid, because the prosecutors apparently didn't run their sentence recommendation up the flagpole.

00:38:11.000 You're supposed to do that.

00:38:11.000 In major cases, you go to the AG and the AG's office, and you say, we'd like to recommend this sentence, and then the AG's office, presumably, Suggests, okay, that sentence is good, or that sentence is bad.

00:38:24.000 Okay, they didn't do that.

00:38:25.000 That's why AG Barr stepped in.

00:38:26.000 But, at no point did AG Barr suggest that the case was illegitimate.

00:38:30.000 At no point did William Barr say, this case is wrong.

00:38:34.000 So that means that the AG's office approved the case.

00:38:37.000 But Trump is ripping on the case, right?

00:38:38.000 Trump is like, Roger Stone should be exonerated.

00:38:40.000 Now, again, there are problems with the case, namely that the chief juror in the case, the jury foreman, was somebody who hated Roger Stone, apparently, who hated President Trump.

00:38:47.000 That's a good case for a mistrial.

00:38:48.000 It's a good case for a new trial with a better jury.

00:38:51.000 It is not a case that Roger Stone was, in fact, innocent of the charges that were being thrown at him, namely lying to Congress and trying to threaten another witness, Randy Credico, and try to push Randy Credico to suggest that he was, in fact, the go-between to WikiLeaks, whereas Roger Stone was trying to act as a go-between to WikiLeaks.

00:39:06.000 In any case, Trump should not get involved in any of this, right?

00:39:09.000 Trump should say, let justice take its course.

00:39:10.000 I wasn't involved in this, which he wasn't, right?

00:39:12.000 By all available evidence, Roger Stone would call up Trump and be like, you know what WikiLeaks is doing?

00:39:17.000 You know what WikiLeaks is doing?

00:39:18.000 All this stuff.

00:39:18.000 And Trump would be like, oh, that's fine.

00:39:20.000 And then you hang up.

00:39:20.000 Okay.

00:39:21.000 And that was like the whole thing.

00:39:23.000 But what the media would like it to be is Trump saying to Roger Stone, go tell WikiLeaks X, Y and Z. And there's no evidence that ever happened.

00:39:29.000 So, you know, Trump has always, honestly, I find this so bizarre.

00:39:32.000 Trump has pretty much always been willing to let his subordinates burn.

00:39:37.000 But apparently with Roger Stone, he is not doing that at this point because Roger Stone has shown loyalty to him.

00:39:41.000 In any case, here was Trump yesterday suggesting that he would love to see Roger Stone exonerated.

00:39:45.000 This is a dumb political move because if you don't believe this turns into a Bernie Sanders campaign ad, an anti-corruption Bernie Sanders campaign ad, then you are likely wrong.

00:39:53.000 Here is President Trump talking about Roger Stone.

00:39:57.000 I want the process to play out.

00:39:59.000 I think that's the best thing to do.

00:40:02.000 Because I'd love to see Roger exonerated.

00:40:07.000 And I'd love to see it happen.

00:40:08.000 Because I personally think he was treated very unfairly.

00:40:13.000 They talk about witness tampering.

00:40:16.000 But the man that he was tampering didn't seem to have much of a problem with it.

00:40:21.000 I think they know each other for years.

00:40:23.000 And it's not like the tampering that I see On television, when you watch a movie, that's called tampering.

00:40:29.000 Okay.

00:40:31.000 Again, this one falls under why.

00:40:31.000 Why?

00:40:33.000 Why don't you just say, I want to see the process play out and then just stop.

00:40:37.000 How about that?

00:40:37.000 How about like after a sentence, you just take a break, just like a three second break and think to yourself.

00:40:41.000 Do I need to say more?

00:40:42.000 Do I need to say more?

00:40:43.000 Instead, the logoria kicks in.

00:40:45.000 It's like, I'm just going to spill that out there.

00:40:48.000 OK, in other news today, President Trump's reaction to a new report that Russia attempts to tamper in this election.

00:40:55.000 This is going to lead the Democrats again to have campaign material, depending on how Trump reacts to it.

00:41:01.000 So there's a report today out of the Washington.

00:41:03.000 Okay, so a few things.

00:41:18.000 One.

00:41:18.000 Again, many things can be true at once.

00:41:20.000 One, of course Russia is going to try to interfere in 2020.

00:41:24.000 They successfully threw America into chaos in 2016 by the mere fact of their interference.

00:41:28.000 Two, are they interfering on behalf of Trump or are they putting out signals that they're interfering on behalf of Trump specifically in order to give the media a rationale to attack Trump and to give Democrats a rationale for leaking that out there just to get under Trump's skin further and to gin up more chaos, right?

00:41:42.000 If Russia came out and said, we're interfering on behalf of the Democrats, then Trump would be like, Okay, well we better crack down on this stuff now, now, now.

00:41:49.000 But instead, if they say we're interfering on behalf of Trump, Trump will try to downplay it, because that's what he did in 2016.

00:41:54.000 And then the Democrats will suggest that he's in cahoots with the Russians again, which of course is exactly what they are doing.

00:42:00.000 The day after the February 13th briefing to lawmakers, Trump berated Joseph Maguire, the outgoing DNI, for allowing it to take place, people familiar with the exchange said.

00:42:08.000 Trump cited the presence in the briefing of Representative Adam Schiff, Democrat of California, who led the impeachment proceedings against him as a particular irritant.

00:42:14.000 During the briefing to the House Intelligence Committee, Trump's allies challenged the conclusions, arguing that Trump had been tough on Russia and strengthened European security.

00:42:21.000 Some intelligence officials viewed the briefing as a tactical error, saying that the official who delivered the conclusion spoke less pointedly or left it out.

00:42:28.000 They would have avoided angering the Republicans.

00:42:31.000 That intelligence official, Shelby Pearson.

00:42:33.000 As an aide to McGuire, has a reputation of delivering intelligence in somewhat blunt terms.

00:42:37.000 The president announced Wednesday he was replacing McGuire with Richard Grinnell, the ambassador to Germany and an aggressively vocal Trump supporter.

00:42:44.000 Some current and former officials speculated the briefing may have played a role in McGuire's removal.

00:42:49.000 Two administration officials said that the timing was coincidental.

00:42:52.000 Grinnell had been in discussions with the administration about taking on a new role.

00:42:55.000 So this is being set up right now as another Trump fires the messenger in order to replace him with somebody who's going to suppress Russian interference in the election, right?

00:43:05.000 This is the Democratic narrative.

00:43:06.000 The Democratic narrative is going to be that President Trump is firing his outgoing DNI in order to cover up the fact that Russia is interfering on his behalf in the 2020 election and replacing him with a hack like Rich Grenell, right?

00:43:19.000 That is what the narrative is going to be.

00:43:20.000 And watch as the media build this out over the course of the next week.

00:43:23.000 What should President Trump do about that?

00:43:24.000 He should just acknowledge the obvious.

00:43:26.000 Of course Russia is attempting to manipulate our election.

00:43:29.000 We are going to use all of our law enforcement resources available to prevent Russia from interfering in the 2020 election.

00:43:35.000 We accept what our intelligence officials say and we are going to stand and we are going to stop all of this.

00:43:43.000 Where would Democrats go with that?

00:43:44.000 The answer is they wouldn't have any place to go with that, right?

00:43:47.000 If Trump actually just said that.

00:43:48.000 If he just said, yes, of course the Russians are going to try to interfere.

00:43:50.000 They tried to interfere last time.

00:43:52.000 And their interference last time didn't mean that Hillary lost.

00:43:55.000 She lost because she lost.

00:43:56.000 And if I win this time, it's because I win.

00:43:59.000 But we are going to dedicate all law enforcement resources to ensuring that America's elections are untampered with by foreign actors.

00:44:05.000 It wouldn't give the Democrats any place to go.

00:44:07.000 Instead, because Trump is so thin-skinned about this, the likelihood is that Trump is going to simply deny that Russia is interfering.

00:44:14.000 I mean, he's done that publicly, right?

00:44:16.000 This is why he was focused on Ukraine.

00:44:18.000 And then that will give Sanders something to run on.

00:44:21.000 It will give Sanders something to run on because Sanders will then say, Trump doesn't care about Russian interference in the election.

00:44:27.000 He wants it.

00:44:27.000 He likes it.

00:44:28.000 It's why he's downplaying it.

00:44:29.000 He fired his own acting DNI.

00:44:31.000 He replaced them because he didn't like the message.

00:44:34.000 He wants the interference.

00:44:35.000 This is the narrative they were unspooling even throughout the Ukraine investigation was if we don't impeach him now, he's going to cheat in the upcoming election.

00:44:41.000 Now you can see them building the narrative over the next two weeks.

00:44:44.000 This is going to be the going narrative for the next two weeks.

00:44:44.000 Watch.

00:44:47.000 The going narrative is going to be the intelligence officials told Trump the Russians are interfering.

00:44:52.000 And then Trump responded by firing the messenger in order to cover up Russian interference.

00:44:56.000 You watch.

00:44:56.000 This is where it's going.

00:44:57.000 All of this could be solved with a little bit of forethought by the Trump administration.

00:45:02.000 All they have to do is say, of course Russia is going to try to interfere.

00:45:05.000 They root for chaos.

00:45:06.000 And you know who else is rooting for chaos?

00:45:08.000 You guys, by maximizing the impact of that.

00:45:10.000 And also, we are dedicating law enforcement to stopping all of this.

00:45:14.000 That would be, and you can see that the media are itching for the narrative, right?

00:45:17.000 The media want the narrative.

00:45:18.000 How do you know that the media want the narrative?

00:45:21.000 The way that this is all, the way that they report these issues.

00:45:23.000 So the Daily Beast the other day issued a tweet.

00:45:25.000 The tweet suggested that President Trump had offered Julian Assange a pardon.

00:45:31.000 Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks guy, a pardon in return for saying that Russia didn't interfere in 2016.

00:45:36.000 That turned out to be not true, like at all.

00:45:38.000 There was a legal filing from Assange's attorney that contained that allegation.

00:45:42.000 One of the beautiful things about legal filings is that they are not subject to defamation.

00:45:46.000 So if someone says something in a legal filing, they can allege anything.

00:45:49.000 I can allege that John Kerry loves sex with animals in a legal filing.

00:45:55.000 As long as I do it in a legal filing, it's not defamatory.

00:45:58.000 For the record, I have no evidence that John Kerry engages in bestiality.

00:46:03.000 But if I put that in a legal filing, then that is not subject to defamation or slander.

00:46:08.000 It isn't.

00:46:10.000 So this was put in a legal filing.

00:46:11.000 The Daily Beast reported it as fact.

00:46:13.000 They put out there a tweet reporting as fact that Trump solicited Julian Assange to say that WikiLeaks was not a Russian tool and that Russia had not interfered in 2016 and that he would offer him a pardon in return.

00:46:23.000 As it turns out, it was just Dana Rohrabacher going into freelancing.

00:46:25.000 So Dana Rohrabacher, who's long been quite friendly with the Russian government, The former California congressman.

00:46:32.000 He confirmed in a new interview that during a three-hour meeting at the Ecuadorian embassy in August of 2017, he told Julian Assange he would get President Trump to give him a pardon if he turned over information proving the Russians had not been the source of internal DNC emails published by Wikileaks.

00:46:47.000 Rohrabacher is a conspiracy theorist, apparently, who believes that Seth Rich was murdered by the DNC in order to cover up their own internal problems and all of this kind of stuff.

00:46:58.000 So, Rohrabacher is basically freelancing, offering Assange things.

00:47:01.000 He has no authority to do that.

00:47:03.000 The media reported it as fact in the original instance.

00:47:06.000 Okay, just because Data Rohrabacher was going and offering Assange something doesn't mean he had any authority from Trump.

00:47:10.000 In fact, Rohrabacher said he didn't have any authority from Trump.

00:47:13.000 So there's no evidence for it at all.

00:47:14.000 The media ran with it anyway.

00:47:15.000 So the media are itching for this narrative that Trump doesn't care about Russian interference.

00:47:19.000 Trump should not play into this.

00:47:20.000 The reason being, number one, because it isn't true.

00:47:23.000 I mean, his administration presumably will do its job.

00:47:27.000 Law enforcement will do its job in trying to ferret this stuff out.

00:47:29.000 And number two, I don't think that Trump I have a hard time saying that Trump wouldn't like it, right?

00:47:38.000 I mean, because again, Trump did have Donald Trump Jr.

00:47:41.000 and company meeting at Trump Tower with Russian lawyers who ended up offering nothing.

00:47:45.000 They showed willingness to solicit.

00:47:46.000 So I'm not going to go as far as saying that Trump wouldn't love to see it, but I will say that Trump doesn't need it and he'd be a fool to signal to the American public that either he needs it or that he would accept it in the aftermath of all the hubbub about 2016.

00:47:57.000 And so the reason I say this again, Is because Trump is gonna run against a very beatable Democrat.

00:48:02.000 If he does not win re-election, that is basically going to be on President Trump.

00:48:05.000 Okay, time for some things I like, and then some things that I hate.

00:48:08.000 So...

00:48:09.000 Things that I like today.

00:48:11.000 I have to admit, Donald Trump is... I would watch Donald Trump's movie reviews.

00:48:16.000 I would.

00:48:17.000 I think they'd be highly amusing.

00:48:18.000 So last night at one of his big rallies, he decided to break out a movie review.

00:48:21.000 He was talking about Parasite.

00:48:22.000 Now, he hasn't seen Parasite.

00:48:24.000 So, typically, when you review a movie, you kind of want to see the movie.

00:48:27.000 Like, I'll review a trailer and I'll admit to you if I haven't seen the trailer.

00:48:30.000 If I haven't seen the full movie.

00:48:31.000 I've seen Parasite.

00:48:32.000 I think Parasite was overrated.

00:48:33.000 I think it was wildly overrated.

00:48:34.000 I could do a whole segment, maybe I will at some point, on why I think that Parasite was so wildly overrated and why I think that Parasite won.

00:48:41.000 The answer, basically, is because it is another one of these class warfare metaphors that the Academy seems to love.

00:48:49.000 It's a very obvious metaphor.

00:48:50.000 It's kind of a ridiculous metaphor, but as long as it's a Marxist metaphor for materialism and how materialism corrupts people's brains and all this, then the Academy loves it.

00:48:58.000 In any case, Parasite was not the best movie of the year.

00:49:01.000 In fact, I don't think it was one of the five best movies of the year, but it's not a bad movie.

00:49:04.000 It's a well-made movie.

00:49:05.000 President Trump went off on Parasite because it's South Korean.

00:49:09.000 So here's President Trump's movies reviews.

00:49:12.000 All right, here we go.

00:49:14.000 How bad were the Academy Awards this year?

00:49:16.000 Did you see it?

00:49:21.000 And the winner is a movie from South Korea.

00:49:24.000 What the hell was that all about?

00:49:26.000 We got enough problems with South Korea with trade.

00:49:29.000 On top of it, they give them the best movie of the year.

00:49:32.000 Was it good?

00:49:33.000 I don't know.

00:49:34.000 You know, I'm looking for, like, where... Let's get Gone with the Wind.

00:49:37.000 Can we get, like, Gone with the Wind back, please?

00:49:41.000 Sunset Boulevard.

00:49:43.000 So many great movies.

00:49:45.000 I like movies.

00:49:47.000 Black and white movies.

00:49:48.000 Movies with Bette Davis.

00:49:49.000 Unbelievable.

00:49:50.000 Wait, can we have some good movies back?

00:49:52.000 Have you ever seen Rocky?

00:49:53.000 Rocky's a great movie.

00:49:54.000 I like Rocky a lot.

00:49:55.000 Godfather.

00:49:56.000 Good movie.

00:49:57.000 I don't like these new movies.

00:49:58.000 They're newfangled things.

00:50:00.000 Movies.

00:50:02.000 Okay.

00:50:03.000 I mean, let's be real.

00:50:04.000 The man is doing comedy at his campaign rallies.

00:50:07.000 Again, none of that's a problem for him, right?

00:50:08.000 The reason I put that in things I like is because the part of President Trump that is charming, the loggeria that is charming, is when he's doing stuff like this.

00:50:14.000 No one cares.

00:50:15.000 This is trending number one on Twitter.

00:50:16.000 If you think that has any impact on him, it does not.

00:50:19.000 But, you know, with that said, run a discipline campaign, like, just a little bit.

00:50:23.000 Okay, other things that I like today.

00:50:24.000 So I've been watching this new series from Showtime.

00:50:26.000 It's available on Amazon Prime.

00:50:28.000 Escape at Dannemora.

00:50:29.000 It is quite well-made.

00:50:30.000 Ben Stiller directed it.

00:50:31.000 He did an excellent job with the direction.

00:50:33.000 And it stars Benicio Del Toro, who is sufficiently creepy, as well as Paul Dano, who's been really underutilized by Hollywood.

00:50:40.000 He's great in There Will Be Blood, and then he's very good in this as well.

00:50:44.000 Patricia Arquette is in it as well, and she plays one of the worst characters in screen history.

00:50:48.000 I mean, she's really quite evil in this, but she's stupid evil.

00:50:52.000 In any case, here is a little bit of the trailer for Escape at Dannemore, which is the story of two inmates at the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York who broke out and, of course, then proceeded to be on the lam for almost a month.

00:51:03.000 It was a big story back in 2015.

00:51:04.000 Here's a little bit of the preview.

00:51:09.000 I want to be a part of your dream.

00:51:11.000 If you feel that it's real, I'm on trial.

00:51:15.000 And I'm here again, you're present.

00:51:18.000 You focus on something in your mind.

00:51:21.000 Through a glass of your tongue.

00:51:23.000 You feel it in your heart.

00:51:24.000 It's the one dangerous one.

00:51:26.000 And you commit to it.

00:51:27.000 To the pilot's phone control.

00:51:30.000 It will come true.

00:51:31.000 Take that to the pilot's phone.

00:51:33.000 So it's not the fastest series.

00:51:36.000 It's fairly slow.

00:51:37.000 But the acting is first, first rate.

00:51:40.000 And it really, more than anything else, is about the relationship between these two inmates and this... and basically this...

00:51:48.000 Prison factory person now, what's it?

00:51:50.000 What's the the episode of the series that is the most important is there's an episode of the series very late in the series in Which you learn what these guys did what their crimes actually weren't it completely changes the dynamic of the series It's quite good.

00:52:03.000 It's definitely worth the watch.

00:52:04.000 It's definitely rated R. You can go check that out escape at Danimora It's good stuff and and worth the watch okay time for a quick thing that I hate Remember Representative Katie Hill who was schtuping her subordinates?

00:52:19.000 Remember that?

00:52:19.000 Remember how she was schtuping her subordinates and then she was breaking up with her subordinates and she was living in a thruple with her husband and with one of her female subordinates?

00:52:27.000 Well now, she's being trotted out as a victim.

00:52:29.000 So this is what the left does.

00:52:31.000 The left does this routinely.

00:52:32.000 They find somebody who did a bad thing.

00:52:34.000 That person is forced to leave because that person did a bad thing.

00:52:37.000 And then they rehabilitate that person as a victim of the right.

00:52:40.000 So Katie Hill was not a victim of the right.

00:52:41.000 She was a victim of the fact that she is a pathetic loon bag.

00:52:44.000 Okay?

00:52:45.000 Not because she is bisexual, because whatever.

00:52:48.000 Because she was stripping her subordinates.

00:52:50.000 I mean, imagine that they're a Republican congressperson, a male, and he had Basically used a subordinate in his own congressional office for a thruple with his wife.

00:53:00.000 That person would be out of Congress in half a heartbeat, right?

00:53:03.000 Half a heartbeat.

00:53:04.000 But because Katie Hill is a bisexual woman and a Democrat, right?

00:53:09.000 Not a Republican.

00:53:10.000 That means she's a victim.

00:53:10.000 So George Stephanopoulos has her on Good Morning America and tries to rehabilitate her by suggesting that the reason that she was ousted from Congress is because people are biphobic.

00:53:18.000 I didn't even know that's a thing.

00:53:19.000 Biphobic.

00:53:20.000 Right?

00:53:20.000 I've heard homophobic before.

00:53:22.000 I've heard like Islamophobic.

00:53:23.000 I've heard like a very...

00:53:24.000 I've heard arachnophobic.

00:53:25.000 I've never heard biphobic.

00:53:27.000 That's a weird one.

00:53:28.000 Anyway, here's Katie Hill suggesting that the reason that she was forced to leave Congress is not because she's an irresponsible heretic who mistreats her subordinates.

00:53:37.000 It really is because she's bisexual, which no one cared about when she was elected because she was openly bisexual then.

00:53:44.000 It's also partly because I'm a woman.

00:53:47.000 We haven't seen as many, right, of the sex scandals with women.

00:53:50.000 But the bisexuality is a huge part of it, right?

00:53:54.000 There's a fantasy element of it.

00:53:56.000 There's biphobia that is rampant still, and certainly misunderstanding of what bisexuality is.

00:54:06.000 And it's sensationalizing, right?

00:54:09.000 The headlines are much, much better than just, oh, Congresswoman has, you know, affair with a former campaign staffer.

00:54:16.000 No.

00:54:17.000 Actually, if you'd had an affair with a male staffer, and he had been in your employ at the time, and then you had apparently mistreated him, that would be a very, very large story as well.

00:54:26.000 It is worth noting, by the way, that the senator from Arizona, Kyrsten Sinema, is openly bisexual, and no one cares.

00:54:31.000 No one.

00:54:32.000 Right?

00:54:32.000 No one has made a peep about this, because...

00:54:35.000 Honestly, who cares?

00:54:36.000 Like, whatever, man.

00:54:37.000 Whatever floats your boat.

00:54:38.000 It's a free country.

00:54:39.000 But the attempt by George Stephanopoulos to paint this as another example of American bigotry, I find it so tiresome that the media have to constantly be in search of examples of American bigotry.

00:54:49.000 Everything turns into an example of America's intolerance.

00:54:52.000 If only we were more European in our attitudes about sex, well, that would solve all of our problems.

00:54:57.000 If only we were more laissez-faire in our... I feel like, as a country, we are fairly laissez-faire in our attitudes toward sex.

00:55:04.000 Are we not?

00:55:05.000 I mean, we had a president of the United States in the 1990s who was schtipping everything on two legs.

00:55:10.000 And we basically got over it.

00:55:13.000 We have a president right now who's been married three times and was caught schtipping porn stars and then paying them off for their silence.

00:55:18.000 And everybody was kind of like, okay, whatever, man.

00:55:20.000 And again, we have a Senator who's bisexual, and no one cares about that.

00:55:24.000 We've had House people, House members and Senators.

00:55:28.000 Has there been a gay Senator?

00:55:30.000 There's certainly been House members who are gay.

00:55:31.000 I believe there's been a couple of gay Senators.

00:55:32.000 And then we have also the first openly gay Ambassador, Rick Grinnell, who's about to become the first openly gay Cabinet official, and no one cares about that.

00:55:42.000 So can we be spared the, like, when you do something deeply wrong because you're a member of a protected minority group?

00:55:47.000 It must be because of the bigotry, not because you did anything wrong.

00:55:50.000 So when Maxine Waters is routinely corrupt, that's not because she's black.

00:55:54.000 When people point that out, it's because she's deeply corrupt.

00:55:56.000 There are lots of black people in Congress who are not deeply corrupt.

00:55:59.000 When we criticized Barack Obama as president, it wasn't because he was black, it's because he was a bad president.

00:56:04.000 When we criticize Katie Hill, it's because she was mistreating her staff in a way that any other candidate would be forced to step down.

00:56:10.000 Any other congressperson would be forced to step down.

00:56:12.000 She's bisexual.

00:56:14.000 But the attempt by George Stephanopoulos to try and pin Katie Hill's downfall not on Katie Hill, but on evil Republicans who are secretly staring at the pictures of her and her paramours revealed on red state.

00:56:27.000 Sure.

00:56:28.000 I know this is the fantasy world in which Democrats live, but it ain't real, okay?

00:56:32.000 Katie Hill was ousted because she was corrupt and because she was terrible and because she's a bad person.

00:56:37.000 She was not ousted because she's bisexual.

00:56:38.000 Alrighty.

00:56:39.000 We'll be back here later today with two additional hours of content, so stick around for that.

00:56:43.000 Otherwise, we'll be back here on Monday.

00:56:44.000 We'll wrap up.
