On today's show, we have a special guest, former Fox News anchor and current Fox Sports anchor, Geraldo Rivera. We talk about his early days at Fox, his time at Fox and what it was like to be a Fox employee. We also talk about why he left Fox and why he thinks they should have fired him.
00:01:42.000It's a once-a-week show, so we live-stream this Thursday night, capturing everything that happens in the week, and we give you all the news that is fit to print.
00:02:41.000Here's a picture of my penis from the locker room, and people are just going...
00:02:46.000I just remember when I was in Georgia, an Atlanta area, and this guy had escaped the courthouse, shot a bunch of people, and was hiding in some lady's house.
00:05:51.000But the hosts and the personalities, I can say this.
00:05:53.000I think if you can't get you, yourself, Milo, Gavin, Ben Shapiro, guys like you that think kind of in the same sort of category of people that reach in a very similar group, if you can't get the four of you to agree on who's the man and cooperate, I don't think the room full of these other personalities are going to agree and coerce some kind of...
00:06:23.000Now, I do think there are some company men in any media who take the orders from the top down, and I've seen that.
00:06:29.000I've seen that when I've worked for media.
00:06:31.000You see it with online websites right now.
00:06:34.000You see it with online websites that will not criticize Trump, are only pro-Trump, and then you see it with websites that are all anti-Trump.
00:07:46.000Listen, when Bob Dole and Jimmy Carter and all these establishment Republicans support Donald Trump, the media underplays it because that doesn't help them.
00:07:55.000But when all of these other establishment types go against Donald Trump, that's why they like Donald Trump.
00:08:00.000A lot of people don't even know what establishment means.
00:09:43.000With the Bernie Sanders situation, I feel bad.
00:09:46.000It's like he's winning by, he wins by such a huge margin in these states with these popular votes, and the Democratic Party is going to be screwed anyway!
00:10:06.000I said between 30-40% chance Bernie might actually do this, or he might be successful enough, the Democrats have to bring someone else out.
00:11:03.000And broker convention doesn't necessarily mean what I'm talking about, but I'm talking about if there's some dirty pool, if there's some dirty tricks that go on, if they try and go the route of Democrats and they have it as a systemic problem with the superdelegates, I'm out.
00:11:16.000So listen to that, people, Trump fans.
00:11:43.000Everybody was kung fu fighting Those kids were fast as lightning In fact, it was a little bit frightening But they fought with expertise This
00:12:13.000is breaking news on Wilderwood Crawler.
00:15:34.000We have the article up at ladderwithcrowder.com.
00:15:38.000And Caitlyn said, about Ted Cruz, I think he's very conservative, a great constitutionalist, and a very articulate man.
00:15:44.000Now, it does take issue with the GOP's evangelical Christian beliefs.
00:15:48.000So Jenner goes on to say, probably one of the worst when it comes to trans issues.
00:15:54.000And I have all my girls on trans issues board to advise them making decisions when it comes to trans issues.
00:15:58.000Yes, Ambassador to the President of the United States, so we can say, hey, Ted, we love what you're doing, but here's what's going on.
00:16:03.000If you read the full piece, basically, Caitlyn Jenner was saying, listen, he may not want to open up women's public bathrooms to men, but at least all my tranny friends will have jobs.
00:18:12.000And for someone who's watching, you sound very polite, and the feminist sounds like the screeching, cackling, lesbian, buzz-cutted chain gang member that they are.
00:18:38.000Caitlyn Jenner is so ignorant, it's mind-boggling.
00:18:42.000Caitlyn Jenner endorses hate-mongering, transphobic, homophobe Ted Cruz, proving courage and being a blithering ignoramus are not exclusive.
00:18:50.000And here's my favorite one from It's Miss Kyla, a tweet about Caitlyn Jenner endorsing Ted Cruz.
00:18:54.000It's interesting how Caitlyn Jenner still votes and exercises privilege like a white heterosexual male.
00:18:59.000Well, listen, here's one thing we can agree on.
00:19:02.000I don't know about the privilege of identity politics, but Caitlyn Jenner may vote and exercise privilege like a white heterosexual male because Caitlyn Jenner is a white heterosexual male.
00:19:49.000It is totally cool to encourage a demographic with the single highest suicide rate in the industrialized world, pre- or post-op, transgenders, to pump themselves full of cancerous estrogen and other unknown hormones with unknown side effects long-term in their body.
00:20:06.000It is perfectly acceptable for this person to toss on a dress and go into the ladies' room.
00:20:18.000But if said person believes in a constitutionally limited government, well, we've got to draw the line somewhere.
00:20:29.000Like, they're so upset, you'd think Caitlyn Jenner was putting Canadian quarters in the vending machine.
00:25:24.000Something real nice in the Air Force for a little Kim.
00:25:29.000Well, the good thing is, right now the heat's on Beyonce, so your little Kim reference falls mainly on deaf ears, but not for me.
00:25:37.000I got so much flack about that this, we had a column go viral where I wrote, Dear Beyonce, it's not because you're black, it's because you're a whore.
00:25:45.000Well, they removed it, and then it got put back up.
00:25:48.000So that's what's a little bit, I think, weird for most people about you.
00:25:52.000So, you know, full disclosure, people listening, John Phillips is openly gay, but you don't make it your selling point, unlike a lot of other people, whether it's the left or right.
00:26:00.000You really don't play the identity politics.
00:27:03.000So you're in the school of Ann Coulter, where everything that you said before we should just discard because let's enjoy the show.
00:27:10.000No, look, I think Donald Trump would be great for the country.
00:27:13.000Donald Trump has put an issue on the map that wouldn't be here if not for Donald Trump, and that is illegal immigration.
00:27:20.000The elites in both parties believe on really the top three issues facing most Americans, and that is they believe in open borders, they believe in trade deals that are horrible for the country, and they believe in aggressive foreign wars.
00:27:36.000They believe in creating stability and resource-rich portions of the world.
00:27:40.000And I think that those three things Of late have been a complete and total disaster.
00:27:45.000And you're not going to get a Jeb Bush who the establishment wanted originally.
00:28:17.000Yeah, I was talking to one of my plutocrat friends the other day, and she was just wringing her hands over who she was going to support if it ended up being Trump versus Cruz.
00:28:26.000She's a Kasich supporter, but she would have been...
00:28:51.000He used to be a kick-ass congressman, too.
00:28:53.000I don't know what the hell happened to him.
00:28:55.000Yeah, he was one of these guys that would go on these foreign trips that everyone treats as a junket where you get to go play golf in some foreign country.
00:29:05.000And he'd get off the plane and he'd get in the face of all these foreign dictators and tell them what for.
00:29:10.000And then he'd lose his temper and leave the country and fly back home.
00:29:13.000And his obsession was balancing the budget.
00:29:16.000He was like the first Republican in Congress to come up with an alternate budget.
00:30:52.000I think Bernie Sanders versus Ted Cruz would have been a very beautiful election to see, to say, okay, socialism, constitutionalism, let's see where the country lines up.
00:31:01.000And now the waters are so muddied because of the circus that is going on.
00:31:06.000I mean, do you think for a second Marco Rubio's gay?
00:31:10.000Look, I don't know if he's gay or not.
00:31:14.000You know, if you believe in the Kinsey scale, when he was younger, he may have experimented or done whatever you want to call it, but I think he's a married man.
00:31:23.000There haven't been any rumors about him doing anything of late, so I'll take him at his word.
00:31:28.000I mean, it's not something that I pry into or am obsessed with, but I do have a theory now on why the rumors were started that you were gay.
00:32:24.000Because the evidence, a foam party isn't inherently gay, and the Chippendales uniform?
00:32:28.000I mean, you could find my Planet Fitness video where I dressed as a tranny, and you can make a far more convincing case with stuff that I've done.
00:32:39.000But do you think that's helpful to right now, the Republican Party, the dialogue?
00:32:42.000I know you like Donald Trump, but do you think the state of where it is right now, do you think this is helpful long-term, or do you think everything's going to crash and burn?
00:32:49.000You know, I think it is helpful because, look, one of the things that politicians always do is they're dishonest with their language.
00:32:57.000If you see a fight going on the House floor, the gentleman from California has his facts wrong.
00:33:03.000And then they go through and they're really passive aggressive with one another.
00:33:06.000They keep the language on the up and up.
00:33:08.000When in reality, you know they hate each other's guts.
00:33:11.000I'd rather have people speak honestly and tell me what they really think.
00:33:15.000Because the reality is a lot of these people hate one another.
00:33:18.000Especially ones that are in ideological agreement because they're working in the same corner.
00:33:22.000Well, if Donald Trump doesn't like Ted Cruz, why is it to our benefit to have Donald Trump go on television and pretend like he likes him, even though you know that he wants to slide the knife in?
00:33:32.000Well, then why do you think he did it?
00:39:32.000I think she has a weak spot, and we'll talk about this later in the show.
00:39:34.000It is that Hillary Clinton has the second highest unfavorability rating in the history of anyone running for office, or even sitting presidents.
00:39:42.000The second highest unfavorability rating.
00:39:44.000There are so many people out there right now who are looking to vote for anyone not named Hillary Clinton, including Democrats.
00:39:50.000And so all Republicans need to do is find somebody with a marginal, even slightly higher unfavorability rating than normal, to take those votes.
00:39:58.000The only thing is the one person they may put up is the number one person with the highest unfavorability rating in the history of all American presidential politics, Donald Trump.
00:40:08.000It's kind of like in 2012, and I think you were more of a Romney guy than I was at that point, where Romney was the only other person in the history of the world, not the United States, to sign a health care mandate into law.
00:40:20.000The weak point then was Obamacare, and Romney couldn't go after on him.
00:40:23.000The weak point for Hillary, she's unlikable because she lies and she's inconsistent, and it's the one thing Donald Trump can't go after on her.
00:40:30.000And so those two variables, I would argue, just as far as electability, as far as who has the highest chance of winning, I just don't see it.
00:40:39.000Well, that's part of it, but I don't think that's where she's most vulnerable.
00:40:42.000I think she's most vulnerable, first of all, in that she might get indicted by the FBI. She might get indicted by the Justice Department.
00:40:48.000And if she does, because of those emails, because she put America's national security at risk, Donald Trump has every reason in the world to go after her aggressively on that.
00:41:09.000So some of them will just leave it out there and hope that voters use it against them when they go into the polling booth.
00:41:15.000I think it needs to be more explicit than that, and I think that Donald Trump would really aggressively go after her on that issue.
00:41:21.000We've already seen him go after her for intimidating all of those women who were allegedly sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton.
00:41:28.000And when he did that, that's exactly the point at which her poll numbers started to take in the primary against Bernie.
00:41:35.000I don't believe any other Republican would make that case to her face, that she enabled a sexual predator to go after women and intimidate people who, she says, should be believed on face value.
00:41:46.000She thinks anyone who alleges that they are a victim...
00:42:02.000If Donald Trump does that, he's the only one where they're going to bring back out his raping of his ex-wife, one of the ex-wives, under a deposition.
00:42:11.000Yeah, she recanted after a gag order, but they'll bring that out, but they'll say, listen, there's just as much credible evidence under a court of law of these rapes as your wife giving the statement in a deposition that you raped her forcibly on the dresser.
00:42:22.000They can't use it against any other candidate.
00:42:25.000If she says it didn't happen and he says it didn't happen, then that's very different than what went on with Bill Clinton.
00:42:31.000Where you've got a whole list of women who say it did happen and then Bill just doesn't respond.
00:42:34.000No, the point is the reason it's similar is because you had some women who did say it happened and then said no it didn't and now are saying actually yes it did.
00:42:41.000And that's what happened with Donald Trump and his wife.
00:43:21.000And I think that's just what's different here.
00:43:23.000Well, look, I think that Hillary Clinton is a dishonest person.
00:43:26.000I think there's a million and one different examples that prove that.
00:43:29.000We just happen to be talking about these two.
00:43:31.000But I think someone with that character, look, if you intimidate the victims of sexual assault, I think you're disqualified from being president.
00:43:39.000And I think that we need to make that case aggressively of the American people.
00:43:43.000I don't think Marco Rubio would do that.
00:45:09.000It's a fully accredited private online school.
00:45:12.000No Common Core and absolutely no government funding whatsoever.
00:45:16.000All the classes are taught live online, kindergarten through high school, with real teachers based around the country.
00:45:21.000So through Freedom Project's classical curriculum, students master the basics like math, English, history, science, alongside some more commonly neglected courses like logic.
00:45:29.000You're not getting that in a lot of schools.
00:45:31.000Economics, American Studies, and Latin, all of which foster the long-lost art of critical thinking and create leaders for tomorrow.
00:45:36.000All classes are recorded to be viewed 24-7, and you can get your very own sneak peek of any class or professor at fpeusa.org.
00:45:43.000Open Enrollment runs March through July, but classes always fill up fast.
00:45:48.000Now, do you have your GED equivalency, Jared?
00:46:02.000That's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!
00:46:05.000She wouldn't want anything to do with a simple lower-decker boy like me.
00:46:09.000I don't know anything about those fancy dinner parties or those dresses with the butts that go out really far or bringing my own knives to steak dinners.
00:46:17.000Still, I bet I can get her to pose naked for a painting and screw her in a steamy car.
00:46:22.000You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.
00:48:53.000I think it highlights the cannibalism of the left today.
00:48:59.000It should be enough that Caitlyn Jenner is this trans activist, high profile, but it's not because Caitlyn Jenner is white.
00:49:07.000It's not because Caitlyn endorses Ted Cruz.
00:49:10.000It showcases that you just have to follow lockstep with the leftist mindset, otherwise you are not welcome to be a part of their movement, right?
00:49:19.000Whereas the Republican, the conservative movement right now, is the reason it's burning to the ground, and it is burning to the ground, is because it's so fractured.
00:49:27.000Because there are so many different points of view.
00:49:29.000I mean, you have the Rand Paul people, who probably aren't going to vote at all.
00:50:06.000Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world, a world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history.
00:50:15.000Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow.
00:50:24.000It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species.
00:50:29.000And we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.
00:50:35.000We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters of the big corporations, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people who will be most affected by this.
00:50:51.000For our children's children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed, I thank you all for this amazing award tonight.
00:51:01.000Let us not take this planet for granted.
00:51:36.000Let's talk about this, Leonardo DiCaprio, before we get to your six climate-controlled mansions, and I'm assuming don't run on flatulence.
00:51:46.000Corporations like New Regency Films, Warner Brothers, corporations worth billions of dollars that distribute, that make your films, that print them on petroleum products like DVDs, or your friend like James Cameron who sold all kinds of action figures that ultimately end up in some dolphin's blowhole out in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
00:52:44.000You have the influence, you have the position, you have the money, you have the power, you have hundreds of millions of dollars, and at one time, the highest rated program of the year next to the Super Bowl.
00:52:58.000You have the microphone, you have the money.
00:53:01.000Listen, I'm not saying give all of it away.
00:53:05.000Live on a poultry $40 million for the rest of your life.
00:53:08.000You know, you might have to make some cutbacks.
00:57:42.000We had to go to this country because there wasn't enough snow and, and, and, like, listen, if you're going to say Republicans are stupid...
00:57:50.000Maybe you should, you know, I don't know, fire location scout because you really...
00:58:03.000But it's entirely anecdotal to paint a sob story so that you have to lobby the leaders and Leo doesn't really have to give that much of his money.
01:02:37.000By the way, we have a few tour dates here in this week.
01:02:41.000You know what's so rough about the tour dates is I don't really promote them anymore because things get so violent or people get angry and it's a struggle.
01:02:50.000You want to promote it and I always used to open it to the public but after you get Black Lives Matter blocking people in when I was at Cal Poly we had to scan for bombs unlike Milo and Ben who are fantastic and I love them they're going to post all of that and people get outraged.
01:03:05.000I just want to tell my jokes because I've been doing it since 18.
01:03:08.000I'm not showing up to plug a book I don't sell anything at these shows.
01:03:14.000And it's really, really changed very radically.
01:03:18.000So, all the way back to CPAC. I did CPAC for, well, four years over five.
01:03:23.000I got horrible food poisoning one year, and I didn't end up emceeing The Ballroom.
01:03:28.000But starting in 2010, I want to say, yeah, 2010 through, I think, 2010, anyway, a few years, so I would do stand-up.
01:03:36.000Now, I would always get up on hatewatch.org, Huffington Post, Media Matters, I've talked about this, and I'd get hauled into the Fox News office.
01:04:32.000I'm not going to hide behind the dress of I'm allergic, though that's true.
01:04:38.000Same thing I'm not going to hide behind the dress, which may or may not hide a penis these days, of my surgery with CPAC. It just got to the point it was no longer fun.
01:05:11.000That's the only one that would be the appropriate Rubio chant.
01:05:15.000Whether it's Make America Great Again, whether it's Our Time, whether it's Not Retreat Reload, anytime you get people engaging in chanting, I get immediately uncomfortable.
01:05:25.000It was pretty bad, the Rubio event when I was there.
01:05:28.000The chanting is just, I don't know, I just feel gross.
01:05:32.000Even if it's like, you know, Hillary Boo, Bernie Boo, I mean, it's just, I feel stupid.
01:06:02.000But half the time you're like, why is this person here?
01:06:04.000It's because their nonprofit donated a huge sum of cash.
01:06:09.000One time this nonprofit, who may or may not have committed fraud, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide free high-speed Wi-Fi at CPAC. And so all of these candidates were beholden to going there and giving these interviews.
01:06:49.000The amount of money they spend at CPAC, the amount of money that is spent, now there's nothing wrong with it, but it is, to a degree, it is political masturbation.
01:06:58.000The amount they spend, I mean many, many, many, many millions of dollars on sites and merch and podcasts and buying stage time.
01:07:08.000And a fraction of the influence of what we do.
01:10:08.000I'm living on a diet of jerky and an undisclosed energy drink, so it's just been a mess, Tommy, and you look so much better than either of us.
01:10:33.000A lot of people, I think, have seen you, and like you said, on social media, sometimes people are sort of fragmented.
01:10:39.000We'll get into the macro of how you've gotten into this, because I think you and I kind of, you know, we both started as youngins, but you received a lot of backlash, and you and I shared that together this last week, or last couple of weeks, over your comments regarding one Beyonce Knowles, correct?
01:10:56.000Well, yes, because how dare I go after that underdog, right?
01:11:10.000So I saw your thing, and you were talking about the Black Panthers, and you pointed out that they were a terrorist organization, and you were made the Donkey of the Week by some radio host.
01:13:28.000She's got ammo strapped to her chest, shaking her butt, talking about, you know, black history, black power, the Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter.
01:13:36.000I said something about it and, I mean, geez, lynched me for it.
01:13:43.000You can't use the word lynch either, because I did that in the Final Thoughts the other day, and then it was again like, how dare you use our history against us?
01:14:50.000I actually told that story when I went to Fox and it was after I signed my contract that they had any idea as to how old I was.
01:14:56.000Most of them thought I was 28 back then.
01:14:59.000Do you feel like that's just kind of a go-to from the left?
01:15:01.000I mean, for people who want to talk about being accepting, immediately it goes to identity politics, right?
01:15:06.000You can't say it because you're young, you can't say it because you're white, or because if you don't mind, I'm sure our viewers will say, if I don't, you know, attractive.
01:15:13.000Is that the main attack or did they take on your ideas?
01:15:16.000No, mostly it's how dare you, you racist, white, cracker, bimbo.
01:15:21.000Not so much for my age, because a lot of people that are attacking me are my age, but more so because of my hair color.
01:16:35.000We only have it in real women's sizes.
01:16:38.000I was like, okay, this is a problem now, see, because you attacked my wife, who was very nice, simply because she's not fat, as you are.
01:16:46.000And it seems that people, again, the quickest way to success in the United States right now, I've said this time and time again, is to be a professional victim.
01:16:55.000And that seems to be a tenet of the left.
01:16:57.000And even people like Beyonce or Jay-Z or Nicey Kanye West, these are people who are wealthy beyond your wildest imaginations.
01:17:05.000And they want to act as though they're broke.
01:17:07.000They still want to claim to be street, right?
01:17:09.000Beyonce still wants to claim that she's being oppressed or Oprah about the jewelry store.
01:17:16.000What was that like, dealing with that for you?
01:17:19.000I mean, it's got to be tough because you're younger, you're a woman, you're blowing the cards stacked against you.
01:17:22.000Do you ignore it, or do you say, okay, let's get that out of the way.
01:17:24.000Sure, I'm a racist, I'm a bigot, I'm a homophobe, I'm a sexist against myself, whatever.
01:18:12.000We are the only ones that can be racist.
01:18:15.000They can't be racist because we are still oppressing them.
01:18:17.000Well, that was a big problem, and that's why I don't play well with others when we do everything on our own.
01:18:20.000I mean, you know, I hosted CPAC for four years, and every time it was fact-checked on Huffington Post or its front page, you know, we've talked.
01:18:35.000But it got to a point where they would go to Fox, and it would be front page Huffington Post, and I'd get called into the second floor, and they'd say, Did you yell out the N-word on stage at CPAC to applause?
01:19:40.000This has pretty much been since the beginning of time, watching ABC News and pointing out the BS that I saw in the nightly news with my parents, and that's where it started.
01:19:49.000No, I never had a transformation where I suddenly became conservative.
01:19:53.000You know, it's funny what you say that I've talked about this, and I've been on a show.
01:19:57.000John Stossel, you know, was on ABC News, and TGIF was, well, you're probably a little too young.
01:20:02.000See, there's only a few age, but we had Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Teen Angel.
01:21:33.000Where if I got my first check for Arthur, because I started acting when I was 12, my dad goes, okay, this is what you're going to pay in taxes if you're over 18.
01:21:41.000You don't have to pay if you're under 18 in Quebec.
01:21:58.000I would always argue and petition with my parents constantly.
01:22:00.000If I asked my mom if we could go shopping and she said no, I would write her a list of reasons why we really should go shopping and why we should clean the house.
01:22:09.000I've just always been an arguer, and so I enjoy doing it.
01:22:12.000I enjoy poking holes on other people's arguments.
01:22:14.000My parents say that the reason that I speak well is because they never talk baby talk to me.
01:22:18.000Maybe that has something to do with it.
01:24:48.000Okay, we don't want to know anything else, because technically your legal status is single, and we have a system here, a little known fact.
01:24:56.000One of our regular guests, Gerald, is a mechanical engineer.
01:25:00.000Him and Not Gay Jared have a patent on a machine where we will input information.
01:25:04.000We're going to ask you a series of questions, and from everybody on the face of the earth, it's going to narrow it down to your scientifically perfect match.
01:31:28.000Sometimes conservative men can be like your typical college Republican, yacht club type of guy, and I'd rather, I mean, I don't want a flaming liberal, but it's not a necessity.
01:31:40.000All right, Tommy Loren, we will bring you back soon.
01:35:29.000Rubio made the jab at Donald Trump's penis, which of course is out of line, but apparently Donald Trump wanted to insist that he has a very large appendage.
01:35:38.000You know how you know a guy has a small penis?
01:35:40.000When he goes out of his way to insist that he has a big penis.
01:35:42.000Yeah, I think he doth protesteth too much.
01:35:46.000I can't believe this is a presidential election.
01:35:50.000I mean, there was a couple of exchanges where he and Rubio were going at it, and I thought that this was two kids fighting in high school, not two guys that were trying to get my vote to become president of the United States.
01:36:01.000Cruz and Casey, for all his faults, actually seemed more presidential on the stage than either one of those guys in the I think Rubio's just figured it out.
01:36:09.000Like, I've got to go for the knockout punch and try to take out Trump, or I'm not going to make it anywhere.
01:36:19.000Well, I hate to bring this up on you, because you're usually right, but you remember when you came on this program and Donald Trump announced it, and you said there was no way.
01:37:27.000Finally, they've been just giving him free airtime this entire time.
01:37:31.000So Chris Wallace actually asked him a really interesting question about how he's going to balance the budget and how much money he's going to save.
01:37:35.000save and he said well you said you're going to save 300 billion dollars by negotiating our contracts better with some of the pharmaceutical companies and trump said yeah absolutely that's absolutely true and he said no you can't you can't do that in fact because we don't spend that much money on pharmaceuticals we spend 78 billion dollars through medicare and farm you're going to save more money than the program actually cost do you have a real plan to balance the budget you know what i hear when i hear that
01:38:01.000I hear all of the Donald Trump supporters saying it was a loaded question that they wouldn't give anyone else, and it's unfair, and you should boycott it.
01:38:07.000But he asked Ted Cruz, and Ted Cruz goes, well, I'm going to abolish the IRS. He goes, well, if you're going to do that, Chris Wallace said, you have to have a plan in place to collect the taxes that you still want to have and all of the other information.
01:39:07.000I can't stand Bernie Sanders, but the idea of superdelegates, we both agree, even if we're not Trump supporters, you don't want to see that happen to the Republican Party.
01:39:15.000No, I think you and I are both willing to fight to the death to save a system that works long-term than to have a short-term gain.
01:39:21.000Oh my gosh, you're going to get so much flack for that.
01:39:40.000You have people getting elected to very serious positions without even close to getting half of the vote.
01:39:45.000So it is not the same – it's not at all the same kind of a representative as we have with the constitutional republic with the two-party system here.
01:39:54.000It's flawed, but people who think they want the parliamentary system, I don't think they know what they're talking about.
01:40:12.000So Donald Trump, if he gets the nomination, I don't know.
01:40:15.000And you and I kind of talked about this and we've gone back and forth.
01:40:18.000But I don't know that I can vote for him in good conscience.
01:40:21.000But then again, I don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton.
01:40:22.000But then again, I don't want to not vote.
01:40:25.000So I would almost be better if somebody else would run conservative third parties, split the vote, we lose.
01:40:32.000I know people hate me right now, but Hillary Clinton wins.
01:40:34.000We have an opposition Congress to keep her in check.
01:40:36.000I'm much more comfortable with that than I am with a Donald Trump victory and some guy that's all about personality that's going to go off half-cocked and do some crazy stuff.
01:40:45.000And he's going to have a Congress that's pretty much on his side for a lot of the time.
01:40:49.000And then we don't win another presidential election for God knows how long.
01:41:19.000They actually like that he's inconsistent.
01:41:21.000And I can respect that, that they think he's just pragmatic.
01:41:24.000But if you're talking long-term, I think there's a strong chance whoever is next is a one-term president.
01:41:32.000I think if it's Donald Trump, it's almost guaranteed, if only out of his own volition.
01:41:36.000I don't even think this guy – I mean, he's 70 years old.
01:41:39.000I don't think he's going to want a second term, and I think he's the kind of guy who's going to just light it on fire and walk away laughing.
01:41:45.000I think they're going to – he's going to get in the office and go, wait, I actually have to work?
01:41:49.000You know, I can't just say big things and people do – No, it has the best words.
01:43:14.000I understand what you said a minute ago, that they think he's a principled guy, which is the funniest thing that I've heard about Donald Trump ever said, because he's the most unprincipled guy.
01:45:08.000I really hope someone makes me VP. Please someone who's not me, make me VP. John Kasich would make a great VP. Make me VP. We will keep you abreast with breaking coverage as the rally unfolds.
01:45:32.000Here at Louder with Crowder, I'm Perry Mothafone.
01:45:40.000Harold, I'd have a good mind to just toss this broad overboard.
01:49:00.000He makes that case, and it's just split, and I see Trump winning more.
01:49:04.000Yeah, but he's not going to get to the magic number.
01:49:06.000He's going to get to the convention and not have it sewn up, and none of them will, and I think there's going to be some chicanery that goes on that makes it to where he doesn't become the nominee.
01:49:24.000Not like the pit on the stock exchange.
01:49:25.000It's a great place if you're looking to just toss your money in an index fund so you can outpace Trump's wealth.
01:49:31.000It's one of those things people talk about a lot, and I readily admit, I'm like, I don't know exactly how that works with a brokered convention.
01:49:43.000I'm not entirely sure, but I know that they have some flexibility at that point if they get through a couple of votes where delegates can actually change their vote.
01:49:51.000They don't have to go with what the state has said.
01:49:53.000So there's some flexibility there, and if some kind of deal is struck, I think that's what you're going to see.
01:50:01.000I know a lot of people are pushing for that now, but if you get to the convention and it looks like Trump is in the lead but he's not going to clinch it, then you're going to start to see some finagling going on.
01:50:09.000Well, I don't think there's anything untoward if Rubio and Cruz do not.
01:50:14.000But I think the thing that would force that is a lot of the establishment guys making it very clear to Trump that come hell or high water, he is not getting out of the convention as the nominee.
01:50:35.000But they can't put Rubio in that chair and they can't put Romney in that chair unless Rubio does something incredible between now and then.
01:50:50.000The establishment prefers Rubio at that point.
01:50:53.000And they can justify because he's won a state or so.
01:50:56.000Let's say he miraculously wins Florida.
01:50:58.000Yeah, let's say maybe, maybe wins Florida, probably not.
01:51:02.000The big difference with Florida, and Gerald is a Texan, you know, Ted Cruz won by a significant margin in Texas.
01:51:07.000Not as much as one would think, but still significant.
01:51:11.000The big difference is people in Texas haven't bought the Ted Cruz lies because people who voted for him got exactly what they voted for.
01:51:16.000The satisfaction rating with Cruz and his voting constituency is as high as one can actually get.
01:51:24.000The difference between that and Marco Rubio's home state in Florida, I think there's a big screw you vote coming Marco's way because he betrayed them.
01:51:30.000And the punishment of it is it's a winner-take-all state.
01:51:48.000I mean, at this point, nobody can make sense of it.
01:51:50.000Well, when a cartoon character gets into the race and does well, it throws out everything.
01:51:54.000I mean, nobody thought that that's what we would have, but yes, we do.
01:51:57.000Well, Hillary Clinton, you know, we're at a point where someone who is so unbelievably unlikable.
01:52:05.000I mean, the superdelegates, it's unreal.
01:52:08.000I just think you have to say, all right, maybe the whole system is rigged.
01:52:11.000I hate to sound like that pothead, but maybe.
01:52:13.000I think a lot of things need to change, and I think this election has shown us that more than any that I can remember for sure in my generation, but maybe any in history.
01:52:53.000If you compare the rhetoric of Obama and McCain, for example, you know, back then if you called Obama socialist, they said it was like the equivalent to using the N-word.
01:54:46.000It's a fully accredited private online school.
01:54:49.000No Common Core and absolutely no government funding whatsoever.
01:54:53.000All the classes are taught live online, kindergarten through high school, with real teachers based around the country.
01:54:58.000So through Freedom Project's classical curriculum, students master the basics like math, English, history, science, alongside some more commonly neglected courses like logic.
01:55:06.000You're not getting that in a lot of schools.
01:55:07.000Economics, American Studies, and Latin, all of which foster the long-lost art of critical thinking and create leaders for tomorrow.
01:55:13.000All classes are recorded to be viewed 24-7, and you can get your very own sneak peek of any class or professor at fpeusa.org.
01:55:20.000Open Enrollment runs March through July, but classes always fill up fast.
01:55:25.000Now, do you have your GED equivalency, Jared?
01:56:43.000You're in a position that you deserve.
01:56:46.000And I'm not talking about the establishment.
01:56:48.000I'm not talking about Fox News, though I think a lot of conservative media has been entirely about preaching to an echo chamber and making sure that you collect those dollar-dollar bills, not about getting your ideas out to another form.
01:57:00.000That's why everything we do is free and accessible.
01:57:57.000They nominated the only other single person in the history of mankind, not the United States, all over the world, to have signed a health care mandate into law.
01:58:08.000The only person to have not done that, the only person to have done that not named Barack Obama, is Mitt Romney.
01:59:01.000What do Republicans, as it looks they're going to do, they find and will nominate the single person with the number one highest unfavorability rating of any candidate of all time in Donald Trump.
01:59:14.000There are so many people out there right now with Hillary Clinton, with her unfavorability rating, they are looking to vote for anyone not named Hillary Clinton.
01:59:24.000The only person who they will also put on that list, and more, is Donald Trump.
01:59:33.000Now, Republicans, you deserve to lose.
01:59:54.000If you listen to really conservative sources like Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin, they estimate as high as 4 to 5 million registered Republican conservative voters Did not come out to vote for Romney, who even voted for McCain.
02:00:07.000So they say four million less than McCain.
02:00:10.000Skeptics say it's only about one to one and a half million.
02:00:12.000Let's split the difference and be fair.
02:00:15.000Three million less Republicans voted for Romney than McCain because they didn't think he was conservative enough.
02:00:22.000What killed Romney was not the independent vote.
02:00:25.000What killed Romney was that cavalry never came over the hill.
02:00:29.000Now, if you look at the numbers that we have, Donald Trump is the one candidate who will have the highest number of Republicans who guaranteed will not vote for him.
02:00:55.000So people are saying he's going to get so many moderates, he's going to get so many Democrats.
02:00:59.000You believe that the guy who's going into a general with a deficit of millions, based on the polls that we have available to us, you can't throw them out when they're not convenient, in a general election, With the single highest unfavorability rating in a general election of all time is somehow going to magically gain more Democrats and more independents than any candidate running since before Reagan.
02:01:44.000You get a borderline lifelong Democrat, pro-choice, anti-Second Amendment, anti-free speech, four bankruptcies, serial admitted philanderer, divorcee, who didn't have an opinion on partial birth abortion, guns, illegal immigration, who was flip-flopped on that, until he decided to run for election.
02:02:07.000Whether he's your guy or not, that's your very, very high-risk reward.
02:02:12.000And the reason his supporters, the sole redeeming reason, they don't deny that, is it's based on the idea that Donald Trump is a great businessman.
02:02:19.000So again, we've gone through the numbers.
02:02:35.000If he'd have taken that money, put it in an S&P index fund, he would be worth today, at the rate of increase that was, I think, about over that course because of the boom in the 80s, over 11%, $20 billion.
02:02:45.000If he put it in an unmanaged index fund...
02:03:55.000You have somebody who is going into a general with a deficit of Republicans.
02:03:59.000According to the data, of more than any Republican candidate that we've had in recent memory, probably 10 million, he has the single highest unfavorability rating Of any candidate running in the history of ever, running against Hillary Clinton will somehow magically win over a number of independents and Democrats not seen in decades, who is a serial philandering, lie-about-everything candidate who's never been consistent on a single issue until the last six months, and even knows he's flip-flopped because you believe he's a good businessman.
02:04:29.000And you believe he's a good businessman because he inherited $200 million from his dad, and it's very likely worth, nearly half a century later, less than a billion dollars.
02:05:08.000So not only is he a liar to his wife, not only is he a liar on policy, not only is he a liar on the debate stage, he lies about the one thing that you think you like him for, which is his money.
02:05:21.000By any measurable, objective barometers we have available to us, he's not that good with it.
02:05:30.000And you have no reason to believe any of his claims are accurate.
02:05:34.000Plenty of legal reasons to believe that he's not.
02:05:45.000Just like I don't think it was a smart play in 2012 to run the only candidate ever who signed a healthcare mandate into law in Mitt Romney.
02:05:53.000I caught a lot of flack for saying, oh, oh, we have a weak candidate right now because of Barack Obama and Obamacare, and so we're going to run the billionaire Mormon who signed a healthcare mandate into law in the Massachusetts.
02:06:03.000The only thing Barack Obama needs to say to Mitt Romney is, you first.
02:06:11.000And I will tell you, I did work for traditional media.
02:08:27.000But I will say there is a hard and fast rule.
02:08:30.000Not Gay Jared and I know this because we run ladderwithcrowder.com and this show with millions of readers and listeners on a monthly basis.
02:08:37.000Trump is absolutely fantastic for ratings and for traffic.
02:08:41.000You can double your traffic right now.
02:08:43.000If you just title a piece, Trump Drops Epic Bombshell, It's a guarantee you'll do better.
02:08:49.000It's a lot easier to sell outrage and offense and tell people they should be offended than it is to try and inform them on the issues.
02:08:57.000I'm not saying every single Trump voter is uninformed.
02:08:59.000I'm saying there are a lot of people of a vested interest in ratings and traffic to keep those steady.
02:12:31.000I'm getting all these tweets from people, the ones they see anyway, of course, because Twitter is censoring everybody, asking me to do that endorsement, thinking, you know, your voice carries more weight than you think.
02:12:44.000If it sounds like I'm pessimistic because I've given up on...
02:12:47.000I've not given up, but if it sounds like I'm pessimistic because I'm not going to focus on the election so much, it's because there are winning issues.
02:12:54.000There are big winning issues out there right now, and it's not the Republican-Democrat thing.
02:12:58.000It really is about freedom versus authoritarianism.
02:16:33.000And isn't it ironic that women are so weak, these feminists, they can't even afford their own birth control, and they're not even good-looking or charming enough to find a sugar daddy, they have to force an unwilling sugar daddy to fund their sexual lifestyle.
02:16:51.000Not only are we pimps for these feminist floozies, we are unwilling pimps.
02:16:58.000We are pimps who didn't walk in with a fur coat and a cane.
02:17:00.000We walked in and they said, hey, here's a cane and a fur coat.
02:17:58.000This is where we are, the United States of America.
02:18:01.000At one point, people would have said, even Democrats, right, would have said, I know this is in the UK, but of course, what happens, it's coming here in a few weeks.
02:18:08.000You want us to pay for your menstrual cramps?
02:18:11.000Here's some Midol in a Hugh Jackman film.
02:18:29.000That's why I'm saying it may be more productive to just let leftists overpush, just let them push it a little bit further, and it's going to swing back.
02:18:39.000Don't bring it to the center, because then you could lose it forever.
02:18:42.000Light it with Crowder, here next week.
