Joe Biden ended Bernie Sanders' campaign last night with massive victories in Missouri,
00:00:34.820
We will examine how Bernie fell apart and what troubles remain ahead for Sleepy Joe.
00:00:40.000
Then, eat the rich YouTube socialist Carlos Maza gets exposed as a rich guy,
00:00:45.520
revealing a key generational difference between old left socialists like Sanders
00:00:54.040
I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:05.320
Never thought I would say that, but the guy got blown out of the water last night.
00:01:08.840
So last night we had little Super Tuesday or Super Tuesday 2.0.
00:01:21.940
You know, if you'd asked me two, three weeks ago, who's going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party?
00:01:27.040
Just looking at the numbers, you'd have to say Bernie Sanders.
00:01:31.340
Last night we heard from voters in Washington, Missouri, Mississippi, Idaho, North Dakota, and Michigan.
00:01:43.760
I mean, he didn't, it's not like he lost every single state.
00:01:53.080
But the big states of the night all went to Joe Biden.
00:01:59.600
They're going to have proportional delegates, but just to give you a sense of the size of these states.
00:02:03.640
Missouri, Mississippi, worth 36 delegates, and then the big prize of the night, Michigan, worth 125 delegates, went to Joe Biden.
00:02:14.140
So, for all intents and purposes, Bernie Sanders is out of the race.
00:02:18.020
His campaign has said that they're not going to concede right away.
00:02:24.160
But already, President Trump is turning all of his attention to Joe Biden.
00:02:28.500
The Trump campaign released a video last night, just immediately dunking on Sleepy Joe and implying that he's too senile to become president.
00:02:37.800
Obama warned Biden's aides to make sure Biden didn't embarrass himself.
00:02:43.620
I'm a Democratic candidate in the United States Senate.
00:02:48.980
All men and women created by, you know the thing.
00:02:56.500
A hundred and fifty million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers.
00:03:05.820
This is my little sister, Valerie, and I'm Jill's husband.
00:03:14.680
My other three granddaughters are down in Dubuque with my wife, Jill.
00:03:27.560
Make sure the television, excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night.
00:03:55.700
It's really awful when you watch all of that together.
00:03:59.140
And just consider for a moment that of all the 320 million Americans.
00:04:12.120
And the actual best candidate that they could field is that guy.
00:04:17.000
I said yesterday on the show that we need to have a new segment, which is called what jumbled nonsense came out of Joe Biden's mouth today.
00:04:23.440
Because every day there's more and every day we got to cover it.
00:04:32.480
And one of them challenged him on his anti-Second Amendment policies.
00:04:38.200
And the Joe Biden, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, told the guy he was full of SHIT, threatened to take him outside and then started rambling on about the mythical AR-14 assault rifle.
00:04:52.720
Hold on, let's pause it right there for a second.
00:05:03.900
But imagine just for a moment if President Trump or if any other Republican politician ever shushed a female campaign aide on camera.
00:05:18.580
He says, hey, you've got some pretty anti-Second Amendment policies.
00:05:23.860
And then the female aide goes, okay, we're done here.
00:05:32.520
Then Joe Biden gets to the meat of what he's saying and it doesn't go terribly well.
00:05:39.160
First, I want to thank our friends over at Zip Recruiter.
00:05:43.540
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Hawaii is the state experiencing the highest wage growth.
00:05:52.320

00:06:48.380
Now it's worth pointing out Joe Biden has a pretty bad record on the Second Amendment.
00:06:53.440
He has said that he's going to take away people's guns.
00:07:00.040
Second Amendment, just like right now, if you yell fire, that's not free speech.
00:07:18.260
You're a veto when you say you're going to take a gun.
00:07:23.860
It's a viral video like the other ones are putting out that they're saying they're lying.
00:07:33.560
To gun owners out there who say, well, a Biden administration means they're going to come
00:07:47.720
Maybe it's because he genuinely doesn't remember having said these things.
00:07:50.780
But he'll just, actually it's been going on so long in his career.
00:07:53.880
I think it's just a feature, not a bug of his character.
00:07:59.480
So he can just look you in the face and say, I never said I would take away your guns.
00:08:04.320
Look, and the auto worker is saying, I saw it on tape.
00:08:13.680
Well, look, we can look at the interview of Joe Biden talking to Anderson Cooper.
00:08:17.360
He says, bingo, I'm going to take away your guns.
00:08:20.640
And then Joe Biden, really to put the cherry on top of the sundae, gets to the heart of
00:09:06.680
That's in America with handguns and there are what you call assault rifles.
00:09:10.680
Why are you administrating for a assault rifle when people are trying to handguns?
00:09:16.980
Some of Joe Biden's defenders are trying to spin this as, yeah, he stood up to this guy.
00:09:24.360
The guy was perfectly polite and Joe Biden threatens to take him outside.
00:09:28.040
By the way, I really hope for Joe's sake that no one ever takes him up on this offer.
00:09:32.080
How many times has Joe Biden said, I'll challenge you to pushups.
00:09:36.700
You want to, Joe Biden is a 77 year old man who can't remember his own name.
00:09:41.400
If he actually goes outside with somebody, not going to end very well for him.
00:09:48.180
So he's standing up to these people and saying, well, I'm just going to take away your AR-15s
00:10:00.820
AR-15 is the actual gun, but he's wrong about the AR-15.
00:10:04.080
He says to the guy, you shouldn't be able to have an AR-15.
00:10:07.520
He says, well, because it's a, what, are you allowed to have a machine gun?
00:10:10.600
The guy very reasonably says, AR-15s are not machine guns.
00:10:15.660
They're just semi-automatic rifles like every other rifle.
00:10:18.100
You pull the trigger once, one round comes out.
00:10:20.360
He goes, yeah, yeah, you're going to, you're allowed to have a hundred rounds.
00:10:24.820
Most states here, you can't, can't even have a hundred round magazine.
00:10:33.740
But there are a lot of anti-gun politicians who would have given this exact same answer.
00:10:40.400
This, this Detroit auto worker, his job is not to regulate gun policy.
00:10:48.480
And yet he does because it would appear he's a responsible citizen.
00:10:53.040
Joe Biden's job for 50 years was to deal in these issues of policy.
00:11:00.600
He's made guns a big, big plank of his campaign.
00:11:16.920
And I'm not even going after him on a political or ideological level.
00:11:24.200
He's simply ignorant of the thing that he is not only talking about, but trying to regulate.
00:11:33.280
And he just looks like an angry, angry old man.
00:11:37.400
I mean, the first thing I thought of when he, when he used AR-14 was not even the gun angle.
00:11:46.560
It's like if somebody who's very, very old says, you kids and your Game Boy computers and your, your doo-wop cassette records.
00:11:55.160
And you're, and it's like, they're just using terms that don't really make sense together.
00:11:59.620
That's what Joe Biden was doing because he's really checked out.
00:12:02.680
And yet this guy who is half comatose, barely knows where he is, is running away with the nomination.
00:12:10.420
So what other people in the Democratic Party want when they see videos like this is they want to cancel the rest of the primary.
00:12:19.480
Major Democrats are now publicly voicing this opinion.
00:12:23.020
So Jim Clyburn, a Democratic representative from South Carolina, he said yesterday,
00:12:28.300
I think when the night is over, Joe Biden will be the prohibitive favorite to win the Democratic nomination.
00:12:33.100
Quite frankly, if the night ends the way it's begun, I think it is time for us to shut down this primary.
00:12:38.560
I think it is time for us to cancel the rest of the debates because you don't do anything but get yourself in trouble.
00:12:44.500
If you continue in this contest, when it's obvious that the numbers will not shake out for you.
00:12:51.340
He said, Biden will get himself into trouble and will say something that he quote, cannot overcome if this goes on.
00:12:59.120
Not just Jim Clyburn, legendary Democratic political consultant, James Carville said pretty much the exact same thing.
00:13:09.840
According to FiveThirtyEight, there's a 99 to one chance that, that Vice President Biden is going to be the nominee.
00:13:16.640
Let's shut this puppy down and let's move on and worry about November.
00:13:21.660
There's no reason to keep it going, but not even a day longer.
00:13:29.260
They're right that Joe Biden's going to get himself into trouble, that he's pretty much locked up the nomination,
00:13:33.880
that there's no reason in terms of the selection process to keep this thing going.
00:13:39.300
However, they're wrong in that you don't win by not campaigning.
00:13:44.440
Okay, if you are so terrified that your presumptive nominee is going to say something stupid that you,
00:13:52.580
you think you're going to win by locking him away for six months, you don't have a great candidate.
00:13:58.280
You, you cannot win in politics by not doing something or by avoiding.
00:14:08.320
There are a number of very prominent Democrats who are not ready fully to endorse Joe Biden.
00:14:14.320
You know, we heard yesterday from Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton, but there are others too.
00:14:21.060
By the way, I want to remind you that if you want to ask any questions from, you know,
00:14:27.740
if you're listening on the Daily Wire chat box, the app, the website, send them in and we'll try to get to some.
00:14:34.100
From A, Michael, what would you say to the liberals who are likely accusing us of making a medical diagnosis of Joe Biden's mental state
00:14:40.940
without having met him or having the proper medical training?
00:14:47.280
I'm not saying Joe Biden has Alzheimer's disease.
00:14:53.700
Joe, I'm not actually making a medical diagnosis in the way that the left does with Donald Trump.
00:15:04.440
He's, he's, like, accuse him of having incest fantasies.
00:15:09.380
I mean, they accuse him of all sorts of really creepy and specific psychological problems.
00:15:15.220
What we're accusing Joe Biden of having is old age.
00:15:19.280
You don't need a medical degree to accuse somebody of being old because the evidence is right there for you.
00:15:24.480
The evidence is he's forgetting everybody's name.
00:15:32.420
You know, I always say, pull back on the psychobabble.
00:15:36.540
Do not start diagnosing people out of the DSM if you're sitting watching a TV, even if you are a medical doctor.
00:15:44.000
But if you've ever been around somebody who's over the age that Joe is currently at,
00:15:50.020
you don't need a medical degree to point out that someone is a little long in the tooth.
00:15:54.220
Next, Maxine Waters right now, major, major Democrat in Congress, she, too, is not ready to settle on Biden.
00:16:06.220
I'm just asking members about the primary, big primaries tonight.
00:16:13.940
Who do you like most compared to the Biden and Bernie compared?
00:16:22.000
It's about now watching and understanding who can beat Trump.
00:16:28.320
Do you think Biden has what it takes to beat Trump?
00:16:33.900
You know, Maxine Waters occasionally says something honest.
00:16:37.400
If I were a Democrat, I would not be sure that Biden has what it takes to beat Trump.
00:16:42.120
And really, even the people defending him, like James Carville, saying he's got this wrapped up.
00:16:47.020
Let's get this little puppy back in the shed now.
00:16:49.060
Even those guys are saying it because they're not certain that Joe Biden has what it takes.
00:16:57.140
But first, got to thank our friends over at Rock Auto.
00:17:06.260
The auto parts shop, they don't ever have the part.
00:17:12.900
And I still don't even know what I'm looking at.
00:17:18.020
And if you have the internet, that means you have access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
00:17:22.840
Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear.
00:17:32.920
But Rock Auto always has the most reliable prices.
00:17:36.360
Why spend up to twice as much for the same parts?
00:17:40.940
The Delphi FG 1456 fuel pump assembly for 2005 to 2010 Honda Odyssey is $353.99 at Advance.
00:17:58.540
Go check out all the parts available for your car or truck.
00:18:01.060
Write Knowles in their how did you hear about us box and they will know that we sent you.
00:18:16.800
Biden's lies and record are bad enough, but the biggest risk is his obvious cognitive decline.
00:18:22.360
He said he's running for Senate, confused wife and sister, forgot Obama's name, etc.
00:18:27.660
If Dems close their eyes and keep pushing Joe, it'll be an agonizing eight months ahead.
00:18:35.820
The piece de resistance is Bill de Blasio, the Bolshevik mayor of New York,
00:18:42.280
who points out that Joe Biden has not been vetted this time around.
00:18:55.580
And that's important for getting ready for the general election.
00:18:59.640
He was in a perfect position, early front runner.
00:19:02.660
Then everyone thought he wasn't going to make it.
00:19:04.100
Turned their attention to Bloomberg, Bernie, even Warren for a while.
00:19:08.200
Joe Biden has a lot of issues he needs to speak to.
00:19:11.000
If we don't deal with it now in the family and have that blunt discussion, Donald Trump will.
00:19:17.020
So morning Joe over here starts laughing when Bill de Blasio says this.
00:19:21.660
He says basically Joe Biden has been in politics every day for 50 years.
00:19:44.460
First of all, even if you just look at his positions, his positions have changed.
00:19:50.000
So on the purely ideological level, we really don't know who this guy is because he doesn't believe in very much.
00:19:57.480
For instance, for his whole career, he defended the Hyde Amendment, which theoretically protected taxpayers from paying for abortions.
00:20:04.140
Now he's ready to let taxpayers pay for abortions.
00:20:14.640
Joe Biden didn't used to forget people's names and forget where he was.
00:20:21.560
That, to me, is probably going to be more important in the long run.
00:20:26.920
So, obviously, there are going to be a lot of attacks from, actually, some people on the left probably too, but obviously from President Trump on how Joe Biden is losing his marbles.
00:20:40.640
Early on in the campaign, you remember the big attack on Biden was that he was giving people shoulder massages and they were trying to Me Too him, basically.
00:20:50.560
If Trump had gone for that, he would have called him Creepy Joe.
00:20:53.480
Creepy Joe with the shoulder massages, smelling the hair.
00:20:59.620
Sleepy Joe because if you see him for any period of time, you realize Joe Biden is not as energetic as he once was.
00:21:12.400
However, there will also be attacks on Joe Biden's corruption.
00:21:16.060
And this is something that very few people have talked about at length in Joe Biden's career.
00:21:21.200
It's only really come up recently with some of the Hunter Biden revelations.
00:21:27.880
It's a weird thing that during Joe Biden's 50 years in government, for some reason, coincidentally, everybody with the last name Biden has gotten a lot richer.
00:21:40.720
You're not supposed to make a whole lot of money in politics.
00:21:44.340
And you're definitely not supposed to make money just because your family is in politics, right?
00:21:50.340
Why on earth would someone pay you money for that?
00:21:52.620
And yet, over Joe Biden's half century at the top of our politics, his family has gotten really, really rich.
00:22:15.660
Recently, James Biden used his political ties to convince the executives at AmeriCorps Health, which is a healthcare firm out in the country, to loan him $650,000.
00:22:30.560
He convinced them to give him that loan because he said that he would be able to secure larger investments from Middle Eastern contacts thanks to the Biden name.
00:22:41.500
So, he was getting into healthcare investing and he told these partners like AmeriCorps that Joe Biden, not James, James is the guy asking for the money, that his brother Joe was very excited about the public policy implications of this new venture.
00:22:59.000
And, you know, really, they could probably use that Biden name to get some money out of the Middle East.
00:23:09.020
Now, I'm not even saying Joe Biden was necessarily complicit in this.
00:23:16.000
Though, you'd think if this pattern goes on long enough, he might have told his brother, stop trading my name for money.
00:23:30.840
First, I want to thank our friends over at Paint Your Life.
00:23:34.020
If you want to give a truly meaningful gift, you've got to try PaintYourLife.com.
00:23:41.020
I think it is like one of the coolest services available today.
00:23:44.120
You can have an original painting of yourself or your children or your family or a dog or a special place.
00:23:49.480
You can have it done oil painting or other kinds of paintings, too, at a price you can afford from PaintYourLife.com.
00:23:55.560
It is a true painting done by hand by a world-class artist created from a favorite photo.
00:24:02.520
I did not trust that it would be high quality when I saw it, so I wanted to try it out first.
00:24:10.220
I had this absolutely gorgeous painting made for a price that would shock you.
00:24:15.720
I don't really understand how the business model works because the quality is so, so good.
00:24:23.920
And, by the way, let's not forget, conservatives really should support, like, the aesthetic realm of the world.
00:24:33.320
No better way than to have an original painting done for your home for not too much money.
00:24:38.480
Right now, for a limited time, you get 30% off your painting.
00:24:51.340
So, it's not just the loan that he got trading on his brother's name.
00:24:58.600
James Biden, during the Obama administration, received over $1.5 billion in government-backed contracts while his brother was vice president.
00:25:12.620
Because the Hunter Biden corruption happened while Joe was vice president, too.
00:25:16.340
In 2010, James Biden joined Hillstone International as executive vice president.
00:25:21.740
So, this is a firm working on construction and tech projects, particularly overseas.
00:25:26.520
You say, why is James Biden joining as the executive vice president of that firm?
00:25:38.220
No, he had no experience, but he did have the last name Biden.
00:25:41.280
And this helped him get contracts in Iraq to the tune of $1.5 billion.
00:25:50.440
The update on Hunter Biden right now, by the way, in case you haven't been paying attention to the tabloids.
00:25:54.280
He is currently living in a very, very expensive house in Hollywood Hills, right here where I live.
00:26:00.220
He's, I don't live in as ritzy a neighborhood as Hunter Biden is, of course, because my last name is not Biden.
00:26:05.960
He's got a Porsche sitting in the garage, and he's just painting all day.
00:26:11.660
And while he's doing that, he's refusing to show up to court hearings for child support payments on the child that he sired out of wedlock with a stripper while he was cheating on his late brother's widow.
00:26:33.180
That one actually doesn't even matter that much.
00:26:35.480
The only reason I bring it up is the left has made it so personal now in the Trump administration.
00:26:43.040
So the left has started going off after Trump's kids.
00:26:45.660
Remember during the whole Russiagate hoax, they were trying to throw Don Jr. in jail.
00:26:49.900
They're constantly attacking the Trump family, the Trump children.
00:26:53.660
They're accusing Trump of having incestuous desires.
00:26:58.520
So the only reason I say that is because it means that Hunter on a personal level is going to be an issue on this campaign.
00:27:06.460
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
00:27:11.560
So Hunter Biden paid much, much more money to sit on the board of a corrupt Ukrainian energy company than he would have been paid on the board of ExxonMobil.
00:27:21.440
Hunter Biden has no expertise in Ukraine or in energy.
00:27:25.560
He's got a lot of expertise in sitting on boards because those are the corrupt jobs that he's gotten by virtue of his last name.
00:27:39.100
And then the question is what happens to Bernie?
00:27:45.480
I really can't seem to figure out why the DNC chose to sideline Tulsi.
00:27:49.140
She may not be the best friend of the establishment, but she is clearly the best candidate.
00:27:56.380
First of all, I think that her views are too heterodox.
00:28:00.040
That's why she's making some common cause with people on the right.
00:28:03.740
I mean, she checks the boxes superficially that the left wants, right?
00:28:16.120
But, you know, they don't usually end up going that way, right?
00:28:19.660
They've been, Democrats have been saying that for so long.
00:28:25.460
They're nominating Joe Biden, it looks like, this time.
00:28:35.620
Then before that, yeah, I guess they had Barack Obama.
00:28:39.060
Then they had John Kerry, just a boring old white guy.
00:28:45.480
At the time, he was a boring, slightly younger white guy.
00:28:53.500
They talk a much better game on this kind of intersectional issue than they actually play.
00:28:58.660
And Tulsi Gabbard would not maintain the liberal establishment.
00:29:01.780
So that's their big issue with her, particularly in foreign policy.
00:29:07.040
And what the Democrats and what the left want to do most urgently is to defend that liberal establishment.
00:29:15.640
So she's, people are not going to say her name.
00:29:20.180
And soon that's going to happen to Bernie Sanders too.
00:29:23.980
Bernie Sanders predicted that he would win in Michigan.
00:29:28.580
But he said that he wouldn't drop out either way.
00:29:32.980
He told Chris Wallace just the other day, he said,
00:29:37.040
We're also seeing now that his campaign is saying he's not going to drop out immediately.
00:29:43.360
Bernie Sanders is doubling down now on his praise of Fidel Castro.
00:29:51.220
Bernie Sanders is not going to go out with a whimper.
00:29:56.760
Here's Bernie just recently doubling down on Castro.
00:30:02.020
There are a few moments in races that seem like turning points.
00:30:05.420
Many experts looked at that moment on 60 Minutes when you talked about Fidel Castro's literacy program as a turning point in this race.
00:30:13.800
Do you regret at all saying what you said at that time in this race?
00:30:19.540
Look, I have spent my entire life fighting for working people and fighting for democracy.
00:30:28.100
I mean, what he's just said, I've fought for working people and democracy, is just clearly untrue.
00:30:33.300
He's defending in the same breath Fidel Castro, okay, who has been nothing but a devil and a plague for the working people of Cuba
00:30:40.640
and who certainly is not a Democrat, lowercase d.
00:30:44.380
He honeymooned in the Soviet Union, not great for working people, certainly not a democracy.
00:30:51.680
But the reason I point this out is Bernie Sanders is not going to try to moderate a little bit to win the nomination.
00:30:59.200
He sees the writing on the wall and he is going to go down swinging.
00:31:06.280
Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he ran again in four years.
00:31:08.840
But if he were to run again in four years, it would be like a Mike Revell kind of candidacy.
00:31:14.360
Mike Revell was that very, very old left winger who kind of nominally ran this time just to get his ideas out there,
00:31:21.100
but not in any way making a serious play, certainly not like he did in 2020.
00:31:28.180
He's not going to compromise on what he wants, not going to compromise on his values, especially now.
00:31:36.800
But Bernie's not really good when he's the frontrunner.
00:31:42.960
He doesn't actually accomplish anything when he's in the Senate.
00:31:47.940
He's really good at attacking the establishment.
00:31:52.320
And so I think, if anything, you're going to see a little fresh boost of energy into the campaign now that it's completely lost.
00:31:59.960
We've got to get to another generation of socialist, another generation of leftist hypocrisy.
00:32:06.800
In the form of Carlos Maza, because Carlos Maza, that YouTube guy who tries to get all the conservatives kicked off the internet,
00:32:16.480
First, I've got to thank our friends over at Blink Sale.

You know, being your own boss is great, but running your own business is not always easy, whether you have employees or not.

That's less time worrying about billing, and what that means is more time focusing on the work that actually gets you paid.

I would much rather be either doing the work I want to do or, like, sitting back somewhere smoking a stogie.

Head on over there because it looks like that poor socialist in the race is on his way out.
00:33:51.280
As one socialist leaves the political world, another socialist enters it.
00:34:07.660
Carlos Maza is picking up the mantle for the working man.
00:34:13.140
This guy is not just a, I want to sort of raise your taxes, rich people socialist.
00:34:16.780
He is a full-on overthrow capitalism and eat the rich socialist.
00:34:23.580
The long, dark night of the end of history has to be grasped as an enormous opportunity.
00:34:31.760
The very oppressive pervasiveness of capitalist realism means that even glimmers of alternative
00:34:37.800
political and economic realities can have a disproportionately great effect.
00:34:42.820
The tiniest event can tear a hole in the gray curtain of reaction, which has marked the
00:34:50.280
From a situation in which nothing can happen, suddenly anything is possible.
00:34:58.520
And if you were just listening to that, if you couldn't see that, Carlos Maza is there wearing
00:35:02.820
a wife-beater tank top and holding like a sledgehammer over his shoulder.
00:35:11.420
Now, it's very hard for me to take seriously the idea that someone who talks for a living
00:35:16.760
is like out there in the field, you know, the proletariat, uh, socialist hacks for all
00:35:23.740
of human history have tried to give that impression and they never do it terribly credibly.
00:35:28.760
Um, but Carlos Maza certainly plays the part, right?
00:35:32.200
He puts on the costume and he says all the lines.
00:35:34.780
He says he hates the rich and he hates capitalism.
00:35:36.800
Here are just, here are just a few tweets from Maza.
00:35:40.060
Just found out James Carville, who spends his time lecturing Democrats for being too far left,
00:35:44.040
lives in an absolutely obscene four-story mansion.
00:35:48.780
Dear God, can we stop taking political advice from the ultra wealthy?
00:35:52.100
You really have to respect this guy's grift, constantly dressing in normal clothes on TV
00:36:03.420
He, he's attacking James Carville for wearing silly proletariat clothing.
00:36:07.940
Well, actually he's very rich and he's saying that's hypocritical.
00:36:16.120
He says, we should treat gay people the same way we treat straight people.
00:36:30.480
I know, couldn't, couldn't have seen that one coming.
00:36:33.300
Carlos Maza is not just like, like his grandpa left him a nice inheritance, Rich.
00:36:42.100
Okay, Carlos Maza is not just like the stocks are doing well this year, Rich.
00:36:46.960
Carlos Maza didn't just win, you know, a scratcher ticket and got like five grand or something.
00:36:56.940
He's connected to multiple giant mansions in Florida.
00:37:01.380
He's connected to a $7.1 million apartment on the Upper West Side, which was purchased under an LLC, which is a thing rich people do.
00:37:10.080
They buy apartments under company names for privacy and tax benefits.
00:37:13.680
Uh, and he's connected to a yacht made by the luxury boatmaker, Donzi.
00:37:19.440
Public records show that his mother, Vivian, and his family, his stepfather, uh, they're registered to vote at a five bedroom, eight bathroom waterfront palace in Boca Raton, Florida.
00:37:33.960
Uh, the property sold a couple of years ago for $10.8 million.
00:37:39.180
Uh, also, uh, it turns out that the, he's connected to a four bedroom, four bath home in Weston, Florida, which sold for almost 2 million in 2015.
00:37:49.080
And his mother, Vivian, currently lives full time in a four and a half million dollar two bedroom, three bathroom luxury condo in Fort Lauderdale.
00:38:04.000
You really have to respect this guy's grift, constantly dressing in normal clothes on TV to feign relatability while living like this masterful con artist.
00:38:22.440
Uh, look, I don't want to psychobabble, as I said earlier in the show.
00:38:26.120
So I don't want to speculate as to any unresolved family issues here that would make him play the socialist on TV.
00:38:31.820
But I want to make a broader point about the left and about socialists because we're seeing a big generational divide here.
00:38:39.400
So you got the old socialist type, that's Bernie.
00:38:43.000
And you got the young millennial socialist type, Carlos Maza.
00:38:46.060
And, and there are two kinds of characters for socialists.
00:38:50.180
The ones motivated primarily by envy and the ones motivated by self-hatred.
00:39:00.500
And I think you see these characteristics expressed in the ideologies themselves.
00:39:06.680
So the old left, the old hardened socialist left, of which Bernie is the last remaining representative, I think, they are motivated by envy.
00:39:21.000
You even hear a little bit of this in, in the phrases Carlos Maza uses, eat the rich, right?
00:39:27.860
So they're motivated by taking material goods from other people.
00:39:32.920
They're motivated by a sort of materialist Marxist ideology.
00:39:36.960
They hate that they don't have as much money as those other guys.
00:39:40.140
Bernie Sanders, the millionaires and the billionaires are the worst people on earth.
00:39:44.620
Then Bernie becomes a millionaire and all of a sudden the millionaires are okay.
00:39:48.760
We got to take their money, but that's what motivates that ideology, envy.
00:39:52.360
For the new left, they're not motivated primarily by envy.
00:39:56.940
What animates that philosophy and ideology is self-hatred.
00:40:01.600
So in the new left, really starting from the 60s and 70s, it's no longer about you're rich.
00:40:23.600
Everything, anything that you can tie to yourself, straight people have been so evil, right?
00:40:32.000
And so you hate that so much that you want to get rid of it.
00:40:35.680
You see this espoused in the millennial counterparts on the left today.
00:40:44.640
That men who talk about how terrible men are, straight people who talk about how terrible
00:40:50.100
And most especially, those of us who were born and raised and educated in the West talking
00:40:55.300
about how Western civilization has destroyed the world.
00:41:02.100
Frankly, if you gave me the choice of the two, I would go for the old left.
00:41:16.060
And it's when the sort of cultural revolutionaries took Marxism from the realm purely of economics
00:41:21.920
into the realm of culture that you really started to see this.
00:41:26.380
And Carlos is the latest in a long stream of exponents of that culture.
00:41:32.280
And it's no less pathetic when it's him and it's no less hilarious.
00:41:37.100
By the way, before we content ourselves that Joe Biden is going to win the nomination and
00:41:44.300
Trump can eat him for lunch in November, don't forget there's someone still lurking in the
00:41:50.680
There are a lot of people who said, we're not ready for Joe.
00:41:53.260
I don't know if Joe's going to make it even to the convention.
00:41:55.840
I don't know if he's going to make it till November.
00:41:57.500
However, Hillary Clinton is pulling the knives out again.
00:42:03.280
She's not just saying, you know, that she still wants to participate.
00:42:06.320
She's not just saying she's not going to endorse yet.
00:42:08.180
She's also unapologizing for what she did in 2016.
00:42:12.620
So you remember Hillary Clinton put her emails on a private server so that people couldn't
00:42:17.180
request those records, so that people couldn't read the corruption that she regularly engaged
00:42:22.400
in and then when it became dangerous, you know, when it, when it looked like people were going
00:42:27.340
to start to get into that server, she completely wiped it.
00:42:30.240
And then she joked about how she wiped it on camera and she, she had no explanation for
00:42:35.760
this other than trying to hide her own crookedness.
00:42:39.380
So back then she said, quote, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I shouldn't
00:42:50.780
That's what Hillary said to ABC News in September, 2015.
00:42:55.340
Now she says, well, that at the time what she was thinking is we'll just say what you did
00:43:06.080
I wasn't convinced of that, but I understood the frustration of my campaign.
00:43:10.040
So against my better judgment, I said, okay, fine.
00:43:13.680
It turned out to be a mistake, but because look at all the oxygen.
00:43:18.620
It was sucking out of my campaign, but it didn't end it.
00:43:27.820
She's admitting that she lied when she apologized.
00:43:33.140
I think the reason she's doing it is she's extremely bitter because the White House was
00:43:41.920
And Trump took that away because it was supposed to go to Hillary and the Democrats and then
00:43:50.860
It just shows though the duplicity of the left here.
00:43:56.600
He's assailing people for wearing street clothes while they're living in a mansion and not eating
00:44:07.120
And then she admits, oh no, I didn't really mean my apology.
00:44:09.220
I was just saying it to, to get one over on all you rube, deplorable, irredeemable, idiot
00:44:19.480
But there's a lot of room here for hypocrisy to come out.
00:44:23.220
Joe Biden launches his campaign talking about how he's going to bring, basically saying he's
00:44:27.500
going to bring dignity back to the White House.
00:44:29.660
Joe Biden's got a lot of corruption that he's going to have to account for.
00:44:36.140
He's got a lot of hypocrisy that he's going to have to account for.
00:44:39.340
I think the Democrats today are happy that they dodged a bullet.
00:44:44.120
Bernie Sanders is almost certainly not going to be the nominee.
00:44:46.400
They've got their milquetoast choice who doesn't believe anything and wouldn't even remember
