00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. 0.97

00:00:02.900 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. 0.87

00:00:04.500 Bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:06.540 Bum, bum.

00:00:07.640 Hey, everybody.

00:00:08.340 Come on in.

00:00:08.840 It's time forILY with Scott Adams.

00:00:12.180 And you know what that means.

00:00:14.180 Yes, you do.

00:00:15.000 It's the best part of the day.

00:00:16.820 It's the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:19.180 And to participate...

00:00:22.380 Got dope?

00:00:23.560 Somebody says, good.

00:00:25.200 Well, your simultaneous sip may be different than most of the rest of you.

00:00:30.000 If you would like to participate in the simultaneous sip, it doesn't take much.

00:00:34.180 All it takes is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:44.280 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:47.660 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:52.820 The simultaneous sip. Go.

00:00:54.940 So, better every time.

00:01:01.420 Just when you think, I know you're probably thinking to yourself, it can't possibly be better every time.

00:01:09.560 And then you do the sip and you think, it is. Every time. It gets better.

00:01:16.600 Let's talk about all the fun stuff in the news.

00:01:18.880 Anyways, I'm coming up with a term, which let's see if I can get this to catch on.

00:01:27.360 I call it the Bernie bomb. Bomb, B-O-M-B, as in things that explode.

00:01:33.800 And the Bernie bomb works like this.

00:01:35.660 And I'm sure you've noticed, and it turns out that CNN has now noticed, because they did a piece on it,

00:01:43.080 that Republicans, and President Trump in particular, and Trump supporters in particular,

00:01:49.560 seem to be very pro-Bernie Sanders.

00:01:54.160 Suspiciously pro-Bernie.

00:01:55.480 They seem to say nice things about Bernie's supporters and about his fight and his consistency.

00:02:05.580 And gosh, it's so unfair when Bernie gets robbed of the nomination.

00:02:10.420 It would sure be a shame if it happened again.

00:02:13.200 Sure would be.

00:02:13.980 Now, of course, CNN, John Avalon, did a little piece, I was just watching,

00:02:19.840 in which it seems that they have figured out that Bernie would be the worst matchup.

00:02:26.580 Because socialism is just a terrible matchup for Trump during a strong economy.

00:02:33.620 If the economy were weak, or even just somewhere in the middle,

00:02:38.340 well, maybe people would listen to a new message.

00:02:40.740 But when things are unambiguously working well,

00:02:45.020 people are not going to take on a big risk.

00:02:48.720 So the Bernie bomb works this way, and here's the beauty of it.

00:02:53.020 The Bernie bomb goes off no matter what.

00:02:57.240 So you can try to diffuse it, but then it'll just go off.

00:03:01.480 Or you could leave it, and then it'll just go off.

00:03:05.340 You only have two options with the Bernie bomb, and they're both explodey.

00:03:09.520 Option number one, he doesn't get the nomination,

00:03:15.180 despite having the greatest number of votes.

00:03:19.600 What happens?

00:03:21.060 The Democratic Party is blown apart.

00:03:23.600 Bernie bros defect in at least large enough numbers

00:03:26.400 that the Democrats have no chance of winning the presidency,

00:03:30.420 and it might rip apart the party with some permanent damage.

00:03:34.820 So if Bernie loses because he has the most votes,

00:03:43.200 but he doesn't get elected when it actually comes to the convention,

00:03:46.080 doesn't get appointed,

00:03:47.280 appointed, picked, what's the right word for a convention?

00:03:51.260 So that's one way.

00:03:52.360 The other way is if, let's say,

00:03:54.520 Bloomberg just beats him fair and square.

00:03:56.540 If Bloomberg beats him fair and square,

00:04:00.360 meaning that he debates well, he buys a lot of ads,

00:04:03.600 and he just gets more votes,

00:04:05.340 and then Bloomberg gets the nomination,

00:04:07.660 what happens?

00:04:09.480 The Bernie bomb blows up.

00:04:12.360 Because it will be clear even to Democrats

00:04:14.920 that Bloomberg literally bought the election.

00:04:17.920 What is more opposite of Bernie than buying an election?

00:04:22.320 Nothing.

00:04:22.880 So if Bloomberg wins fair and square,

00:04:28.380 or if he gets the nod in some kind of a brokered convention situation,

00:04:33.960 the Bernie bomb blows up.

00:04:36.260 But what if Bernie gets the nomination?

00:04:39.280 Then he runs in the general election,

00:04:41.440 gets destroyed by Trump,

00:04:44.440 and half of the Democrats,

00:04:47.780 at least the parts that are pro-democratic socialist,

00:04:51.220 their entire thing gets discredited

00:04:54.460 as something they can't win.

00:04:56.420 And suddenly,

00:04:58.140 the Democrats blow up.

00:04:59.940 So there are three ways that

00:05:01.360 the Bernie bomb can blow up,

00:05:03.600 and there's no way to defuse it.

00:05:05.660 It's already too late.

00:05:07.520 It's an undiffusable bomb.

00:05:10.840 So,

00:05:11.500 I've never seen President Trump

00:05:13.700 in a stronger position to win re-election

00:05:16.100 than right this moment.

00:05:18.440 Now, you assume that things are going to change, right?

00:05:20.460 There's just so many months

00:05:22.100 between now and Election Day.

00:05:23.700 We'll have surprises and things,

00:05:25.880 you know,

00:05:26.100 all kinds of stuff is going to happen.

00:05:27.820 So you can't say anything about the moment.

00:05:30.940 But at this very moment,

00:05:32.660 if nothing changed,

00:05:34.520 the President's in the strongest position

00:05:37.220 we've ever seen.

00:05:39.700 Now, interestingly,

00:05:41.260 according to a Zogby national poll,

00:05:43.460 and I don't really know

00:05:44.840 which polls are credible

00:05:46.240 and which ones are not,

00:05:47.340 so help me out on that.

00:05:49.140 But a Zogby poll put Bloomberg

00:05:50.620 at number two nationally.

00:05:54.660 So among the Democrats,

00:05:57.000 Bloomberg has already bought his way

00:05:59.960 to the second spot behind Bernie.

00:06:03.660 Now, think about that.

00:06:04.940 What does that tell you

00:06:06.000 about the nature of reality?

00:06:08.140 So the people who went from

00:06:11.240 not supporting Bloomberg

00:06:13.320 to supporting him,

00:06:14.800 and apparently millions of people

00:06:16.680 have made that journey,

00:06:18.220 and fairly quickly.

00:06:19.960 What has Bloomberg done

00:06:21.920 to earn their votes?

00:06:24.360 Was it because they learned

00:06:25.580 about his policies?

00:06:27.520 No, that didn't happen.

00:06:29.220 I'll bet there's almost nobody

00:06:30.320 who knows what Bloomberg's policies are.

00:06:32.460 I pay attention to the news.

00:06:34.980 I couldn't tell you

00:06:35.700 what his policies are.

00:06:36.780 I mean, in a general,

00:06:38.280 I know he's a sort of

00:06:39.860 a centrist Democrat,

00:06:41.680 so I can take some guesses.

00:06:43.240 But I don't really know.

00:06:44.620 I don't really know

00:06:45.240 what Bloomberg wants to do.

00:06:47.560 And I pay attention.

00:06:50.000 Is it because people saw him debating

00:06:53.300 and he did such a good job?

00:06:54.840 No, no, he hasn't debated yet.

00:06:57.420 So what it tells us

00:06:58.680 is that brainwashing works.

00:07:00.540 Somebody in the comments

00:07:01.460 says advertising works.

00:07:02.840 I'm not sure it's advertising

00:07:05.180 when you do it at this scale.

00:07:07.680 I would say that advertising

00:07:09.300 is telling people

00:07:11.200 that your product exists

00:07:12.620 and here are some good things

00:07:14.220 about it compared to the competition.

00:07:16.540 That would be advertising.

00:07:18.160 Simply making somebody

00:07:19.300 aware of your product

00:07:20.540 and maybe put it top of mind

00:07:22.980 and maybe give it a good feel to it.

00:07:25.320 I would say that's properly,

00:07:26.780 you could call that just advertising.

00:07:28.960 But when somebody with $70 billion

00:07:31.440 or whatever it is,

00:07:32.900 decides to spend as much as it takes

00:07:34.980 to change people's minds,

00:07:37.400 it's not really advertising anymore.

00:07:40.680 Because first of all,

00:07:42.440 it's not about giving you information

00:07:43.960 that's useful and accurate

00:07:45.780 and compares you to the alternatives.

00:07:48.340 It's mostly lies.

00:07:50.080 Mostly lies.

00:07:51.440 I mean, that's what campaigns are.

00:07:53.500 Campaigns are mostly lies.

00:07:55.460 Lies of omission,

00:07:56.620 lies of context,

00:07:57.680 that sort of thing.

00:07:58.180 But mostly lies.

00:07:59.780 It doesn't matter who it is.

00:08:00.840 That's what it is.

00:08:01.800 So he actually bought

00:08:03.300 enough brainwashing

00:08:05.520 to make him number two

00:08:06.760 in the Democratic Party.

00:08:09.180 Now, if you're a Democrat,

00:08:11.460 how does that feel?

00:08:13.700 How does the party

00:08:14.920 that doesn't like income inequality

00:08:17.900 feel about the guy

00:08:19.700 who's one of the richest people

00:08:21.100 buying the election,

00:08:23.240 or at least buying the nomination,

00:08:25.420 in their party?

00:08:26.220 Now, if he'd bought the nomination

00:08:28.660 as a Republican,

00:08:30.640 I think Democrats would say,

00:08:31.940 well, see,

00:08:33.020 this is exactly

00:08:34.140 what we've been talking about.

00:08:35.720 We have a target now.

00:08:37.360 You know, our target

00:08:38.140 is that damn Republican

00:08:39.940 who bought the election,

00:08:41.960 or at least bought the nomination.

00:08:44.800 Then they'd have a real clear,

00:08:47.240 you know,

00:08:48.160 a very unambiguous,

00:08:50.000 on-message, on-brand,

00:08:52.160 hey, these Republicans,

00:08:53.660 they use their money

00:08:54.580 to buy the election.

00:08:56.500 We must stop them

00:08:57.440 with our grassroots movement.

00:09:00.420 But what if it's their party

00:09:01.540 who buys the election,

00:09:03.100 right in front of the world?

00:09:05.540 The one thing

00:09:06.280 I actually appreciate

00:09:07.380 about Bloomberg

00:09:08.140 is that he's not hiding it.

00:09:11.000 He's actually just

00:09:11.920 buying the election

00:09:13.020 right in front of us.

00:09:15.260 And there's no,

00:09:16.860 there's nothing hidden about it,

00:09:18.200 which actually, weirdly,

00:09:19.260 is the only thing

00:09:20.980 that's making it okay.

00:09:22.800 If Bloomberg was hiding

00:09:24.460 any of this,

00:09:26.180 we'd all be,

00:09:26.960 oh, wait a minute,

00:09:28.200 this looks like a coup,

00:09:30.040 because he's stealthily

00:09:31.540 trying to buy the election.

00:09:33.620 But because he's doing it

00:09:35.000 right in front of us,

00:09:36.840 hiding absolutely nothing,

00:09:38.860 we have a slightly

00:09:40.240 different opinion about it

00:09:41.280 because it's so honest.

00:09:43.280 And we're looking at it

00:09:43.960 and saying,

00:09:44.140 that doesn't feel right,

00:09:47.660 but he's not violating

00:09:48.820 any laws,

00:09:50.100 and he's sort of

00:09:51.080 on our side

00:09:52.060 if you're,

00:09:53.200 you know,

00:09:54.180 if you're some types

00:09:55.320 of Democrats.

00:09:56.380 So it's the worst thing

00:09:57.880 you've ever seen

00:09:58.500 in your life,

00:10:00.120 a billionaire

00:10:00.680 buying an election,

00:10:02.140 maybe the worst thing

00:10:03.040 you've ever seen

00:10:03.740 in the United States.

00:10:05.360 And still,

00:10:06.360 we're all watching

00:10:07.380 the worst thing

00:10:08.120 we've ever seen,

00:10:09.080 but because Bloomberg's

00:10:10.120 doing it somewhat honestly.

00:10:12.580 I mean,

00:10:13.220 you have to appreciate

00:10:14.280 that, right?

00:10:14.980 It's completely honest.

00:10:16.140 I'm going to buy this thing.

00:10:17.520 It's for sale.

00:10:18.300 I'm going to buy it.

00:10:20.500 That's the only reason

00:10:21.480 it's allowed,

00:10:22.060 is that he's doing it

00:10:22.800 transparently.

00:10:23.600 I have to appreciate

00:10:24.240 that, actually.

00:10:26.980 There's a story about,

00:10:28.040 I guess Bloomberg

00:10:29.300 had funded,

00:10:30.280 this is separate

00:10:31.060 from the election,

00:10:32.380 has nothing to do

00:10:33.080 with the election,

00:10:33.980 but it ties in

00:10:34.820 conceptually.

00:10:36.660 Apparently he was

00:10:37.440 funding attorneys

00:10:39.200 to handle

00:10:40.900 climate change

00:10:42.040 change cases

00:10:43.340 in different

00:10:44.000 attorney general's offices.

00:10:45.460 In other words,

00:10:46.720 Bloomberg was paying

00:10:47.800 the salary

00:10:48.440 of people

00:10:49.760 who could

00:10:50.160 optionally be

00:10:51.260 brought in

00:10:52.420 by these

00:10:52.860 attorney generals.

00:10:53.660 They all had the option,

00:10:54.900 but they had to

00:10:55.640 choose the option.

00:10:57.120 And then he would

00:10:57.680 pay their salary

00:10:58.360 and they would have

00:10:59.040 a new employee

00:10:59.740 who would just work

00:11:00.540 on climate-related

00:11:02.120 stuff.

00:11:03.880 And I thought to myself,

00:11:05.020 that is literally

00:11:06.840 an example

00:11:07.800 of a billionaire

00:11:09.140 buying government.

00:11:12.380 Because the

00:11:12.920 attorney general

00:11:13.480 is not technically

00:11:14.800 government,

00:11:15.520 but it's sort of.

00:11:17.420 Yeah, let's just

00:11:18.260 call it government.

00:11:19.140 It's close enough.

00:11:20.320 Even if the

00:11:21.020 attorney general

00:11:21.540 is not elected,

00:11:22.700 it's close enough.

00:11:24.840 Or are they?

00:11:25.660 Attorney generals

00:11:26.320 in the states

00:11:26.800 are all elected, right?

00:11:29.800 But the point is

00:11:30.940 that Bloomberg

00:11:32.760 is literally

00:11:33.460 buying democracy,

00:11:34.880 but he's doing it

00:11:35.380 in front of us.

00:11:36.760 Now, here's

00:11:37.340 a question for you.

00:11:38.340 Who do you think

00:11:40.120 would be the perfect

00:11:40.960 Bloomberg

00:11:41.600 vice president pick?

00:11:44.740 I know.

00:11:45.900 I know what you're thinking.

00:11:47.560 You're already

00:11:48.020 thinking ahead.

00:11:50.000 Well,

00:11:50.820 so here's the trick.

00:11:52.060 If you're

00:11:52.420 picking a vice president,

00:11:53.920 you want to pick

00:11:54.420 somebody

00:11:54.860 who

00:11:56.200 compliments

00:11:57.520 you

00:11:58.560 and

00:11:59.080 fixes

00:12:00.380 some gaps

00:12:01.260 that you

00:12:01.600 have

00:12:01.880 in your

00:12:02.160 brand.

00:12:03.200 So if you

00:12:03.500 have some

00:12:03.780 holes that

00:12:04.400 need to be

00:12:04.840 plugged,

00:12:06.200 sometimes your

00:12:06.840 vice president

00:12:07.360 could do that.

00:12:08.000 For example,

00:12:08.920 let's say you

00:12:09.640 needed more

00:12:10.560 support from

00:12:11.280 a certain

00:12:11.600 part of the

00:12:12.060 country.

00:12:12.980 You might

00:12:13.340 pick a

00:12:13.640 vice president

00:12:14.180 who represents

00:12:15.060 or is popular

00:12:15.820 in that part

00:12:16.320 of the country

00:12:16.760 to try to

00:12:17.440 get those

00:12:17.780 votes.

00:12:18.560 In the case

00:12:19.180 of Bloomberg,

00:12:20.280 he's way

00:12:21.880 too old,

00:12:22.920 so that's

00:12:23.640 one of his

00:12:24.020 problems,

00:12:24.720 so he would

00:12:25.240 need somebody

00:12:25.640 younger,

00:12:26.720 right?

00:12:27.980 He's,

00:12:28.680 the biggest

00:12:29.180 complaints about

00:12:30.000 him,

00:12:30.380 and the

00:12:30.860 things that

00:12:31.300 are starting

00:12:31.740 to define

00:12:32.380 him are

00:12:33.560 coming from

00:12:34.100 the critics.

00:12:35.220 So there's

00:12:35.720 only so much

00:12:36.320 Bloomberg can

00:12:37.040 do to

00:12:37.400 define

00:12:37.800 himself.

00:12:38.780 The other

00:12:39.260 part of the

00:12:39.700 job of

00:12:40.140 defining him

00:12:40.720 is what

00:12:41.060 his enemies

00:12:41.600 are going

00:12:41.940 to say.

00:12:42.880 And his

00:12:43.120 enemies have

00:12:43.660 decided that

00:12:44.320 their attack

00:12:45.240 is going to

00:12:45.640 be on race

00:12:46.960 and misogyny

00:12:47.940 and his

00:12:48.520 past comments.

00:12:50.280 Somebody

00:12:50.540 asked me

00:12:51.040 on,

00:12:52.900 well,

00:12:53.180 somebody sent

00:12:53.560 me a message

00:12:54.000 yesterday

00:12:54.400 saying,

00:12:55.200 why don't

00:12:55.820 I apply

00:12:56.440 the 20

00:12:57.100 year rule

00:12:57.780 to Bloomberg

00:12:59.920 and say,

00:13:00.540 well,

00:13:00.860 if he did

00:13:01.440 these things

00:13:01.880 20 years

00:13:02.460 ago,

00:13:02.800 we should

00:13:03.080 just not

00:13:03.500 count them.

00:13:04.760 And

00:13:05.020 internally,

00:13:06.680 I do.

00:13:08.000 But let me

00:13:08.700 say it

00:13:09.040 externally,

00:13:10.360 I don't

00:13:11.240 really care

00:13:11.700 what he did

00:13:12.100 more than

00:13:12.660 20 years

00:13:13.100 ago.

00:13:14.120 If he did

00:13:14.780 something last

00:13:15.460 year,

00:13:16.480 let's put

00:13:17.140 that in the

00:13:17.580 mix.

00:13:18.500 But if he

00:13:18.800 did something

00:13:19.300 20 years

00:13:19.900 ago,

00:13:20.720 and it

00:13:20.900 was not

00:13:21.280 only,

00:13:21.940 well,

00:13:22.460 I don't

00:13:23.000 care,

00:13:23.400 I'm not

00:13:23.660 even going

00:13:23.960 to make

00:13:24.120 the argument

00:13:24.600 that times

00:13:25.780 were different.

00:13:26.680 I think

00:13:27.000 that's a

00:13:27.340 weak argument.

00:13:28.500 I'm going

00:13:28.800 to make

00:13:29.020 the stronger

00:13:29.500 argument that

00:13:30.380 we're not

00:13:30.720 the same

00:13:31.100 people we

00:13:31.600 were 20

00:13:32.060 years ago.

00:13:33.000 So I

00:13:33.520 give Bloomberg

00:13:34.460 the same

00:13:35.020 pass I

00:13:36.280 would give

00:13:36.600 anybody.

00:13:37.080 which is

00:13:37.580 he's not

00:13:37.960 the guy

00:13:38.260 he was

00:13:38.600 20 years

00:13:39.080 ago.

00:13:39.420 But still,

00:13:40.960 his critics

00:13:41.520 are going

00:13:41.920 to define

00:13:42.460 him as

00:13:42.920 being that

00:13:43.280 guy,

00:13:43.740 and especially

00:13:44.140 the stop

00:13:44.640 and frisk

00:13:45.040 stuff.

00:13:46.060 So if

00:13:46.900 he's got a

00:13:47.260 woman problem, 1.00

00:13:48.300 he's got a

00:13:48.720 race problem,

00:13:49.840 who fixes

00:13:50.640 that?

00:13:51.520 Who is

00:13:51.920 young?

00:13:53.200 Bam.

00:13:54.820 Kamala Harris.

00:13:56.140 Now, yeah,

00:13:56.960 everybody knew

00:13:57.480 where I was

00:13:57.800 going with

00:13:58.160 that.

00:13:58.860 Now, here's

00:13:59.820 an interesting

00:14:00.300 factoid that

00:14:01.100 I just learned.

00:14:02.520 I don't know

00:14:03.080 if this has

00:14:03.560 changed, but

00:14:04.240 when Harris

00:14:05.080 was still in

00:14:05.660 the race,

00:14:06.100 she was

00:14:07.740 the third

00:14:08.900 best in

00:14:10.040 getting

00:14:10.260 support from

00:14:10.980 African

00:14:11.340 Americans,

00:14:12.220 which I

00:14:13.500 didn't know.

00:14:13.980 So number

00:14:14.440 one and

00:14:14.840 two were

00:14:15.500 Bernie and

00:14:16.840 Biden, and

00:14:18.240 then the

00:14:19.280 third best

00:14:19.980 was Kamala

00:14:22.240 Harris.

00:14:22.540 now, assuming

00:14:24.980 Biden isn't

00:14:26.380 going to

00:14:26.580 make it, that

00:14:28.280 would make

00:14:28.860 the number

00:14:30.160 one and

00:14:30.620 two, maybe

00:14:32.540 Kamala and

00:14:35.420 maybe Bernie.

00:14:37.260 But if

00:14:37.860 Bernie doesn't

00:14:38.500 make it, what

00:14:40.020 can Bloomberg

00:14:41.020 do that would

00:14:41.940 get him the

00:14:42.420 most automatic

00:14:43.400 black support?

00:14:44.980 And this is

00:14:45.540 important, too.

00:14:46.200 He's got that

00:14:46.720 stop and frisk

00:14:47.600 thing.

00:14:47.940 having somebody

00:14:49.580 who has

00:14:51.240 Kamala Harris'

00:14:52.060 background in

00:14:52.800 law enforcement,

00:14:54.340 maybe that

00:14:55.680 helps a little

00:14:56.200 bit.

00:14:57.020 I don't know.

00:14:57.660 Maybe it

00:14:58.000 hurts.

00:14:58.580 I'm not sure

00:14:59.040 about that.

00:15:00.420 But anyway,

00:15:01.420 now, here's

00:15:03.720 another thing.

00:15:05.760 If somebody

00:15:07.120 was 78

00:15:07.860 years old,

00:15:09.440 I think that's

00:15:10.060 Bloomberg's age,

00:15:10.760 right?

00:15:11.260 So you should

00:15:12.260 assume if he

00:15:13.180 won and he

00:15:14.100 served, he

00:15:14.760 would be,

00:15:15.020 what, 82?

00:15:17.740 82 in the

00:15:18.580 final year?

00:15:19.780 And not

00:15:20.420 really, you

00:15:21.540 wouldn't really

00:15:22.000 run for

00:15:22.420 re-election, so

00:15:23.380 he'd have to

00:15:23.900 be running for

00:15:24.480 one term.

00:15:25.940 But would he

00:15:26.480 even make it

00:15:27.000 one term?

00:15:28.580 Do you think

00:15:29.360 that Mike

00:15:30.100 Bloomberg might

00:15:30.800 plan to

00:15:32.500 run two

00:15:33.680 years and

00:15:34.340 then turn it

00:15:34.900 over to his

00:15:35.420 vice president?

00:15:36.900 Because do you

00:15:37.680 think that Mike

00:15:38.340 Bloomberg thinks

00:15:39.320 we should have

00:15:40.120 an 80-year-old

00:15:40.960 president?

00:15:43.740 I'm not going

00:15:44.460 to read his

00:15:44.900 mind, but

00:15:46.560 I'm just

00:15:46.880 going to say

00:15:47.280 that Bloomberg

00:15:47.940 does seem to

00:15:50.060 be a rational

00:15:50.900 guy, right?

00:15:52.640 Say what you

00:15:53.360 like about what

00:15:54.120 he's done right

00:15:54.860 or done wrong.

00:15:55.760 You know, I'm

00:15:56.080 not going to

00:15:56.380 get into the

00:15:56.820 policies, but

00:15:58.400 I would say,

00:15:59.860 and you see

00:16:00.440 this in his

00:16:01.000 switching from

00:16:02.280 Republican to

00:16:03.360 Democrat, he's

00:16:04.900 sort of a

00:16:05.660 technocrat,

00:16:06.880 meaning he

00:16:07.780 cares about

00:16:08.480 what works

00:16:09.260 more than he

00:16:10.580 cares about

00:16:11.180 party affiliation

00:16:12.880 or anything

00:16:13.480 like that.

00:16:14.720 So I had

00:16:15.600 some point I

00:16:16.180 was going to

00:16:16.480 make there,

00:16:16.900 but I lost

00:16:17.340 it, so talk

00:16:18.300 about something

00:16:18.700 else.

00:16:20.360 I found a

00:16:21.120 really rough

00:16:22.600 week.

00:16:23.180 I wake up at

00:16:24.080 night in

00:16:24.920 screaming pain

00:16:25.840 every night.

00:16:26.680 I mean, just

00:16:27.160 horrible abdominal 0.92

00:16:29.320 pain, and I

00:16:30.940 don't know what

00:16:31.300 that's about yet.

00:16:32.160 So pardon me,

00:16:33.560 I'm not doing a

00:16:34.460 lot of sleeping

00:16:35.020 and I'm heavily

00:16:36.780 medicated right

00:16:37.520 now.

00:16:37.780 Jeff Bezos

00:16:41.400 put up $10

00:16:42.020 billion to

00:16:42.720 fight climate

00:16:43.220 change.

00:16:44.480 So I put

00:16:45.600 this math

00:16:46.120 quiz on

00:16:47.060 Twitter.

00:16:49.100 See if you

00:16:49.840 can answer

00:16:50.160 the question.

00:16:51.340 Jeff Bezos

00:16:51.880 pledged $10

00:16:52.500 billion of his

00:16:53.080 own money to

00:16:53.640 address climate

00:16:54.300 change.

00:16:55.180 How much

00:16:55.740 money would

00:16:56.320 Bezos have

00:16:57.240 pledged if

00:16:58.040 Bernie had

00:16:58.660 eliminated income

00:16:59.940 inequality?

00:17:01.920 Now, of

00:17:02.380 course, there's

00:17:03.080 no specific

00:17:04.200 answer to that.

00:17:04.920 It's just fun

00:17:05.740 to think

00:17:06.060 about.

00:17:07.100 But what

00:17:08.280 would the

00:17:08.680 world look

00:17:09.120 like under

00:17:09.980 a Bernie

00:17:10.560 perfect world

00:17:12.020 where you

00:17:12.360 don't have

00:17:12.760 income

00:17:13.300 inequality?

00:17:14.400 Well, you

00:17:14.700 wouldn't have

00:17:15.060 a Jeff Bezos,

00:17:16.220 so you

00:17:16.560 wouldn't have

00:17:16.920 somebody giving

00:17:17.660 $10 billion

00:17:18.400 to fight

00:17:19.460 climate change.

00:17:20.640 So I asked

00:17:21.500 this question,

00:17:22.480 and I thought

00:17:22.960 to myself when

00:17:23.640 I posted it,

00:17:24.840 I sure hope

00:17:25.380 no economists

00:17:26.000 answer this,

00:17:27.020 because then

00:17:28.420 it's going to

00:17:28.780 get complicated.

00:17:30.220 It took

00:17:30.760 about 10

00:17:31.280 seconds for

00:17:32.240 an economist

00:17:33.560 to answer it.

00:17:34.320 Joshua Gans,

00:17:36.940 an economist,

00:17:38.400 I'm familiar

00:17:39.120 with him,

00:17:40.100 we've

00:17:40.400 communicated

00:17:40.900 over the

00:17:41.380 years,

00:17:41.720 over Twitter

00:17:42.600 and email,

00:17:43.880 and he

00:17:44.760 weighs in,

00:17:45.720 he says,

00:17:46.740 it would

00:17:47.000 be effectively

00:17:47.580 the same

00:17:48.360 as the

00:17:48.960 government

00:17:49.280 would have

00:17:50.780 that $10

00:17:51.240 billion.

00:17:51.600 In other

00:17:51.880 words,

00:17:52.920 if Bernie

00:17:53.500 were president,

00:17:54.320 he would tax

00:17:54.900 away all that

00:17:55.460 money,

00:17:55.820 the government

00:17:56.260 would have

00:17:56.640 it,

00:17:57.120 and then the

00:17:57.520 government

00:17:57.780 could spend

00:17:58.340 it for

00:17:58.780 climate change.

00:18:00.500 So I'm

00:18:01.020 thinking,

00:18:01.440 damn it,

00:18:02.380 my clever

00:18:02.920 little tweet,

00:18:03.740 which wasn't

00:18:04.240 meant to

00:18:04.620 be too

00:18:05.740 rigorously

00:18:06.420 mathematical,

00:18:07.840 has already

00:18:08.600 been debunked

00:18:09.300 by an

00:18:09.920 actual working

00:18:10.640 economist.

00:18:12.000 But I'm

00:18:12.660 not done

00:18:12.980 yet.

00:18:13.920 No,

00:18:14.420 no,

00:18:14.700 no.

00:18:15.300 Just because

00:18:16.200 Joshua is

00:18:17.480 smart and

00:18:18.120 never engages

00:18:18.740 in loser

00:18:19.380 think does

00:18:20.380 not mean I

00:18:21.020 agree with

00:18:21.540 him in all

00:18:22.000 cases.

00:18:24.700 So here's

00:18:25.780 my response.

00:18:27.220 I said

00:18:27.500 partial credit

00:18:28.140 for a

00:18:28.540 correct short-term

00:18:29.180 answer.

00:18:29.500 the correct

00:18:30.260 long-term

00:18:30.800 answer is

00:18:31.960 that no

00:18:32.260 one would

00:18:32.580 have any

00:18:32.980 money.

00:18:34.180 Because

00:18:34.620 income

00:18:35.120 equality

00:18:35.680 would,

00:18:36.800 by definition,

00:18:38.900 eliminate all 0.96

00:18:40.440 personal

00:18:40.900 incentives to

00:18:41.820 work hard,

00:18:42.500 start

00:18:42.700 businesses,

00:18:44.000 get promoted,

00:18:44.740 any of that.

00:18:45.480 There just

00:18:45.760 wouldn't be

00:18:46.040 any point to

00:18:46.560 any of it.

00:18:47.560 So eventually

00:18:48.260 nobody would

00:18:48.820 have any

00:18:49.200 money.

00:18:49.560 So the

00:18:49.800 government

00:18:50.120 wouldn't have

00:18:50.660 it.

00:18:51.200 Jeff Bezos

00:18:51.720 wouldn't have

00:18:52.240 it.

00:18:52.960 So the answer

00:18:53.880 is zero,

00:18:54.500 because we

00:18:54.820 would all be

00:18:55.340 a poor

00:18:56.360 agrarian

00:18:57.000 society.

00:18:57.660 But here's

00:18:58.100 the good

00:18:58.360 news.

00:18:59.080 Once the

00:18:59.560 economy of

00:19:00.060 the world

00:19:00.320 is destroyed,

00:19:01.960 not much

00:19:02.800 CO2.

00:19:04.120 So it

00:19:04.760 works out,

00:19:05.220 I guess.

00:19:06.800 And then

00:19:07.600 Joshua came

00:19:08.620 back with

00:19:09.160 a criticism

00:19:11.560 of mine,

00:19:12.740 thinking that

00:19:13.380 I change

00:19:13.840 the game,

00:19:15.100 move the

00:19:15.480 goalposts.

00:19:16.460 Well, I

00:19:17.660 didn't do

00:19:18.100 that intentionally,

00:19:18.920 but my

00:19:19.580 point is

00:19:20.100 that economists

00:19:22.200 tend to

00:19:23.880 debate each

00:19:24.420 other and

00:19:25.400 understand what

00:19:26.220 the other

00:19:26.520 said.

00:19:27.920 So when

00:19:29.480 I made

00:19:30.020 my case,

00:19:31.720 Joshua

00:19:32.200 Gans

00:19:33.420 made a

00:19:34.120 perfectly

00:19:34.480 rational

00:19:35.100 response to

00:19:36.960 it.

00:19:37.800 I made a

00:19:38.320 response to

00:19:38.900 it that I

00:19:39.280 think he

00:19:39.580 also understands.

00:19:40.660 He made a

00:19:41.060 response that I

00:19:41.700 understand.

00:19:42.460 If he and

00:19:43.000 I debated a

00:19:44.400 few more

00:19:44.760 rounds, I

00:19:46.560 think we

00:19:46.920 would get to

00:19:47.300 some point

00:19:47.720 where we

00:19:48.160 realize we

00:19:48.680 all agree.

00:19:50.800 And that

00:19:51.240 would probably

00:19:51.580 be the

00:19:51.940 end of it.

00:19:53.000 So that

00:19:54.880 is the

00:19:55.120 opposite of

00:19:55.560 loser

00:19:55.800 think.

00:19:56.160 Bernie has

00:20:00.960 a commercial

00:20:01.500 that he's

00:20:03.920 playing now

00:20:04.500 in which he's

00:20:05.200 claiming in

00:20:05.860 his commercial,

00:20:06.520 this is like

00:20:06.980 the feature

00:20:08.300 point of the

00:20:09.080 commercial,

00:20:10.140 is that he's

00:20:10.940 potentially the

00:20:11.820 quote,

00:20:12.220 first Jewish

00:20:12.880 American

00:20:13.320 president.

00:20:15.440 And in this

00:20:16.280 commercial,

00:20:16.940 he evokes,

00:20:18.000 and I assume

00:20:18.640 this is,

00:20:19.240 I think this is

00:20:19.920 an approved

00:20:20.520 Bernie ad,

00:20:21.380 he evokes

00:20:22.720 the fine

00:20:23.340 people hoax.

00:20:25.040 Again,

00:20:25.900 the fine

00:20:26.360 people hoax,

00:20:26.980 the most

00:20:27.320 debunked

00:20:28.660 hoax in

00:20:29.420 American

00:20:29.780 politics.

00:20:31.080 The belief

00:20:32.440 that President

00:20:33.120 Trump called

00:20:33.720 the neo-Nazis

00:20:34.500 fine people,

00:20:35.700 easily debunked,

00:20:36.780 you just have

00:20:37.200 to look at the

00:20:37.780 transcript,

00:20:38.720 look at the

00:20:39.220 full video,

00:20:40.500 and realize that

00:20:41.280 the part people

00:20:41.900 see is an

00:20:42.880 edited out of

00:20:43.620 context thing.

00:20:44.400 Is that

00:20:46.660 possible?

00:20:47.200 Can you edit

00:20:47.780 things and take

00:20:48.540 them out of

00:20:48.920 context and

00:20:49.580 turn something

00:20:50.140 into nothing?

00:20:51.340 Well,

00:20:51.640 let's ask,

00:20:52.660 let's ask

00:20:54.040 Bloomberg,

00:20:55.120 because Bloomberg

00:20:57.100 recently had a

00:20:59.000 piece of video

00:21:00.060 taken out of

00:21:00.700 context in

00:21:01.400 which he

00:21:01.800 said,

00:21:03.280 in which he

00:21:04.300 said,

00:21:05.960 which he

00:21:07.700 said,

00:21:08.320 I wish I,

00:21:09.380 oh, he once

00:21:09.860 claimed during a

00:21:10.620 television appearance,

00:21:11.520 this is Bloomberg,

00:21:12.700 so here's his

00:21:13.980 quote,

00:21:14.400 take it out of

00:21:14.980 context.

00:21:15.820 So you see how

00:21:16.420 easily this can

00:21:17.060 be done by

00:21:17.580 getting rid of

00:21:18.240 the stuff

00:21:19.040 surrounding it.

00:21:20.180 He said that

00:21:20.780 there's,

00:21:21.300 quote,

00:21:21.440 an enormous

00:21:22.100 cohort of

00:21:23.120 young black

00:21:23.680 and Latino

00:21:24.260 males who,

00:21:26.080 quote,

00:21:26.140 don't know how

00:21:26.880 to behave in

00:21:27.540 the workplace.

00:21:29.000 Oh my God.

00:21:30.760 Is that the

00:21:31.560 most racist

00:21:32.080 thing you've

00:21:32.560 ever heard in

00:21:33.100 your life?

00:21:34.160 Oh my God.

00:21:35.980 Except that

00:21:36.640 the context

00:21:37.460 was apparently

00:21:38.960 he was funding

00:21:40.000 some program

00:21:40.920 directly to

00:21:43.460 help people,

00:21:44.060 solve this

00:21:45.220 problem.

00:21:46.640 Doesn't that

00:21:47.240 change it

00:21:47.620 completely?

00:21:48.600 If all he's

00:21:49.420 saying is,

00:21:49.980 hey, it

00:21:50.200 looks like

00:21:50.600 there's some

00:21:51.560 identifiable

00:21:52.220 group of

00:21:52.720 people who,

00:21:53.380 quote,

00:21:53.480 don't know how

00:21:53.980 to behave in

00:21:54.480 the workplace,

00:21:55.480 that's horrible.

00:21:56.500 But if you

00:21:57.920 know the context

00:21:58.620 is he's just

00:21:59.380 funded some

00:22:00.020 massive program

00:22:00.920 to help

00:22:01.960 people understand

00:22:02.880 how to

00:22:03.240 integrate into

00:22:03.820 the workplace,

00:22:04.280 then you

00:22:05.280 say, oh,

00:22:06.520 actually, that's

00:22:07.080 kind of good.

00:22:08.320 Right?

00:22:08.540 It just

00:22:08.840 completely

00:22:09.220 reverses it.

00:22:10.860 So you can

00:22:11.920 see this all

00:22:12.400 the time.

00:22:12.940 It's happened,

00:22:13.500 I don't know,

00:22:13.960 maybe it's

00:22:14.580 happened four or

00:22:15.360 five times with

00:22:16.060 Bloomberg alone,

00:22:16.920 where his stuff

00:22:18.180 taken in a

00:22:18.720 context reverses

00:22:19.680 it, and it

00:22:20.560 happened with the

00:22:21.120 fine people

00:22:21.600 hoax.

00:22:21.940 because what

00:22:23.400 the president

00:22:23.820 actually said

00:22:24.380 was the

00:22:25.400 neo-Nazis

00:22:26.180 should be

00:22:26.560 condemned

00:22:26.960 totally.

00:22:27.900 He said that

00:22:28.320 directly, and

00:22:29.380 it was still

00:22:29.780 taken in a

00:22:30.320 context, they

00:22:30.960 leave that

00:22:31.340 part out,

00:22:32.420 blah, blah.

00:22:33.420 So here's

00:22:34.680 the point.

00:22:35.260 Bernie's got

00:22:35.700 this commercial

00:22:36.240 in which he's

00:22:37.040 making it a

00:22:39.080 point of his

00:22:40.960 ethnicity.

00:22:43.780 Now, how

00:22:45.200 many times

00:22:45.700 have I told

00:22:46.180 you the

00:22:46.580 thing that

00:22:47.040 Barack Obama

00:22:47.780 did right

00:22:48.560 was not

00:22:50.180 running to be

00:22:50.860 our first

00:22:51.340 black

00:22:51.660 president,

00:22:51.940 and that

00:22:53.300 made it

00:22:53.660 perfectly

00:22:54.100 acceptable for

00:22:54.980 everybody who

00:22:55.600 wasn't black

00:22:56.380 to say, oh

00:22:57.400 thank God

00:22:58.120 there's somebody

00:22:59.100 who's not

00:22:59.600 making it about

00:23:00.280 race.

00:23:01.120 Let's just

00:23:01.620 judge him on

00:23:02.420 his qualities.

00:23:03.160 Hey, he's

00:23:03.400 pretty good.

00:23:04.460 And wouldn't

00:23:04.780 we like to

00:23:05.380 get past this

00:23:06.160 and have a

00:23:06.560 black president? 0.58

00:23:07.200 Yes, we

00:23:07.600 would.

00:23:08.540 We would.

00:23:09.460 That's our

00:23:09.900 own personal

00:23:10.600 preference.

00:23:11.540 But don't

00:23:12.000 tell us what

00:23:12.660 we need.

00:23:13.960 Don't tell us

00:23:15.080 we need a

00:23:15.620 black president.

00:23:16.680 That's too

00:23:17.240 far.

00:23:18.100 Let us

00:23:18.560 decide that.

00:23:19.820 So that's

00:23:20.500 what Obama

00:23:20.940 did.

00:23:21.220 It was

00:23:21.400 brilliant.

00:23:21.720 And it

00:23:22.040 worked.

00:23:22.800 What Hillary 0.96

00:23:23.320 Clinton did,

00:23:24.080 as I said

00:23:24.480 many times,

00:23:25.080 she said a

00:23:25.740 woman would 1.00

00:23:26.240 be better for

00:23:26.820 president, at

00:23:27.760 which point a

00:23:28.460 lot of men

00:23:28.860 said, I'm

00:23:29.400 out.

00:23:30.220 I'm out.

00:23:31.720 As soon as

00:23:32.360 you say that

00:23:32.820 your gender is

00:23:33.760 superior, you're

00:23:34.880 disqualified.

00:23:37.660 Bernie is

00:23:38.260 trying to make

00:23:39.100 it an advantage

00:23:41.180 that he would be

00:23:41.960 the first Jewish

00:23:42.680 American president.

00:23:43.440 president.

00:23:44.760 So let me say the

00:23:46.040 same thing I

00:23:46.580 said with Hillary

00:23:47.300 Clinton.

00:23:48.580 I'm out.

00:23:50.020 I'm out.

00:23:50.940 As soon as he

00:23:51.660 makes it about

00:23:52.240 race or

00:23:52.760 ethnicity, it's

00:23:54.960 not part of the

00:23:55.620 American experience

00:23:56.780 for me.

00:23:58.200 As soon as

00:23:59.320 that's, he didn't

00:24:01.540 say much about it

00:24:02.400 other than he

00:24:03.000 would be.

00:24:04.260 But still, I

00:24:06.620 don't need that

00:24:07.160 from the

00:24:07.500 candidate.

00:24:08.460 I would love

00:24:09.120 to say that

00:24:09.620 about him

00:24:10.040 myself.

00:24:11.380 If you let me

00:24:12.340 decide, I'd say,

00:24:13.080 oh, that's cool.

00:24:14.400 We've got a

00:24:14.820 Jewish American

00:24:15.340 president.

00:24:15.920 I'd like to

00:24:16.360 check that

00:24:16.820 box too.

00:24:17.720 If it's up to

00:24:18.660 me, I'm happy

00:24:19.680 about it.

00:24:21.160 But I don't

00:24:21.860 want to be told

00:24:22.540 to be happy

00:24:23.160 about it.

00:24:23.780 Do you get the

00:24:24.280 difference?

00:24:25.440 That's completely

00:24:26.120 wrong.

00:24:26.960 If somebody

00:24:27.640 running for

00:24:28.100 president tells

00:24:28.700 me I should

00:24:29.360 care about his

00:24:31.180 ethnicity, I'm

00:24:32.480 out.

00:24:33.880 So that bothered

00:24:35.020 me.

00:24:35.340 But the worst

00:24:35.760 part is that the

00:24:36.500 only thing good

00:24:37.080 about Bernie,

00:24:37.800 was that he

00:24:38.320 seemed somewhat

00:24:39.800 ethical and

00:24:40.820 somewhat genuine.

00:24:42.520 But his use

00:24:43.200 of the fine

00:24:44.120 people hoax as

00:24:46.040 his primary

00:24:46.880 attack vehicle

00:24:47.920 in this ad, I

00:24:49.140 think, puts the

00:24:50.360 lie to all of

00:24:51.060 that.

00:24:51.420 So Bernie is

00:24:52.000 now, he's

00:24:53.980 gone full

00:24:55.040 racist and

00:24:55.900 full liar. 0.87

00:24:57.560 So everything

00:24:58.460 that you liked

00:24:59.180 about Bernie

00:24:59.820 is that, well,

00:25:00.540 at least he's

00:25:01.140 consistent.

00:25:02.660 He doesn't

00:25:03.060 get into that

00:25:04.340 identity politics

00:25:05.900 stuff too much

00:25:06.780 compared to the

00:25:07.440 other ones.

00:25:08.560 And he at

00:25:09.060 least is

00:25:09.500 playing it

00:25:09.960 straight.

00:25:10.420 He doesn't

00:25:10.700 seem to be

00:25:11.120 lying.

00:25:12.660 And now that's

00:25:13.540 all changed.

00:25:14.960 Yeah.

00:25:15.280 Somebody says he's

00:25:16.000 always lied, but in

00:25:16.960 terms of

00:25:17.320 reputation, he

00:25:18.760 had a cleaner

00:25:19.440 reputation, I

00:25:20.300 think, than

00:25:20.680 other people,

00:25:21.380 other politicians.

00:25:22.020 So I think

00:25:24.240 now that I'm

00:25:25.820 going to agree

00:25:26.540 with Alan

00:25:28.820 Dershowitz, who

00:25:29.720 said, I think

00:25:30.600 it was Sunday

00:25:31.600 night on Joel

00:25:32.980 Pollack's radio

00:25:33.960 program on the

00:25:35.780 Bright Bar

00:25:36.160 radio.

00:25:37.640 I think it was

00:25:39.760 Dershowitz who

00:25:40.360 said that if

00:25:40.860 Bernie Sanders

00:25:41.560 wins the

00:25:42.480 nomination,

00:25:44.280 Dershowitz, who

00:25:45.060 is a registered

00:25:45.820 Democrat, voted

00:25:47.040 for Hillary Clinton,

00:25:48.580 said it might

00:25:49.060 force him to

00:25:49.740 leave the

00:25:50.120 Democratic Party

00:25:51.040 and campaign

00:25:51.760 against him

00:25:52.420 nationwide.

00:25:54.260 And I

00:25:55.400 joined with

00:25:56.240 Dershowitz in

00:25:58.220 saying that if

00:25:59.260 Bernie gets the

00:26:00.740 nomination, I

00:26:02.400 will register

00:26:03.660 Republican, and

00:26:05.640 I'll vote for the 0.99

00:26:06.460 first time in a

00:26:07.700 while.

00:26:08.200 I voted a long

00:26:09.020 time ago, but I

00:26:09.640 haven't voted in a

00:26:10.220 long time.

00:26:10.900 And I'm not going

00:26:11.500 to be voting for

00:26:12.340 Trump.

00:26:13.800 I mean, I will

00:26:14.340 vote for Trump.

00:26:15.880 But the point of

00:26:16.920 it would be to

00:26:17.540 vote against

00:26:18.420 Bernie.

00:26:20.120 Because I

00:26:21.160 think Bernie

00:26:21.600 could legitimately

00:26:22.440 destroy the

00:26:23.180 country in a

00:26:24.600 way that a

00:26:26.220 normal politician,

00:26:27.280 even a normal

00:26:27.860 Democrat, even a

00:26:29.420 normal Democrat

00:26:30.080 wouldn't destroy

00:26:30.840 the country.

00:26:31.840 I don't think

00:26:32.400 there's a chance

00:26:33.100 that Bloomberg

00:26:34.200 would destroy the

00:26:35.480 country.

00:26:36.940 And that's the

00:26:37.440 whole reason he's

00:26:38.040 running, right?

00:26:38.600 He doesn't want to

00:26:39.280 destroy the country.

00:26:40.720 So if Bloomberg

00:26:42.760 gets the nomination,

00:26:43.940 I'm not going to

00:26:44.480 vote.

00:26:45.320 I'm not going to

00:26:46.120 vote.

00:26:46.360 because I'd

00:26:47.780 rather, I

00:26:49.200 like to keep

00:26:49.880 that at least

00:26:50.500 little crumb of

00:26:51.920 independence.

00:26:52.820 Maybe that's

00:26:53.420 already gone.

00:26:54.820 But Bernie, I

00:26:57.140 would consider a

00:26:57.980 national threat.

00:27:00.320 He would be a

00:27:01.040 national threat to

00:27:02.100 actually everything.

00:27:03.000 You could lose

00:27:03.440 everything with

00:27:04.160 Bernie.

00:27:04.940 But you're not

00:27:05.680 going to lose

00:27:06.040 everything if it's

00:27:07.300 some other

00:27:07.720 Democrat, if it's

00:27:08.660 Biden or something.

00:27:09.880 We won't do as

00:27:10.780 well.

00:27:11.080 But you're not

00:27:11.660 going to lose

00:27:12.060 everything.

00:27:15.820 So I'm anti-Bernie

00:27:17.860 to the death.

00:27:21.020 Because he crossed

00:27:22.340 the line for me.

00:27:23.180 The fine people

00:27:25.120 hoax just trips

00:27:27.540 my wire.

00:27:29.680 I mean, if you're

00:27:30.140 going to be that

00:27:30.840 bad, then you

00:27:34.580 just can't be

00:27:35.160 president.

00:27:36.200 All right.

00:27:39.060 The interesting

00:27:40.020 thing about Bernie

00:27:40.920 as a candidate

00:27:41.880 is he would be

00:27:43.080 the first

00:27:43.520 candidate who

00:27:46.160 was hated

00:27:48.240 for being

00:27:49.060 I'll try to

00:27:50.920 say this right

00:27:51.540 because it's

00:27:51.960 confusing.

00:27:52.800 He would be the

00:27:53.540 first candidate

00:27:54.280 who was ever

00:27:55.800 hated by, let's

00:27:57.080 say, racists

00:27:58.140 who just hated

00:27:59.960 him because he

00:28:00.620 was Jewish

00:28:01.060 and American.

00:28:02.240 So he'd be

00:28:03.040 hated for being

00:28:03.760 Jewish by some

00:28:04.940 portion of the

00:28:06.500 population who

00:28:07.360 are racists. 0.63

00:28:08.880 But he would

00:28:09.680 also be hated

00:28:10.520 by people who

00:28:12.860 think he's an

00:28:13.420 anti-Semite

00:28:14.260 because his

00:28:16.060 policies and

00:28:17.900 opinions about

00:28:18.700 Israel are not 1.00

00:28:20.140 where the most

00:28:21.240 pro-Israel people

00:28:22.720 would like it to

00:28:23.380 be.

00:28:23.840 So he's the only

00:28:24.740 candidate who

00:28:25.540 could be elected

00:28:26.240 who would be

00:28:28.440 hated for being

00:28:29.440 Jewish and for

00:28:31.080 being anti-Jewish.

00:28:32.000 What are the

00:28:35.020 odds of that?

00:28:36.460 Can you ever

00:28:36.940 think of a

00:28:37.340 worse candidate?

00:28:38.380 Somebody who's

00:28:38.920 hated by some

00:28:40.420 people, the

00:28:41.260 racists, for

00:28:42.320 being Jewish, but

00:28:43.500 hated by other

00:28:44.160 people for not

00:28:44.740 being Jewish

00:28:45.220 enough.

00:28:46.440 I don't see

00:28:47.420 there's any way

00:28:47.880 you can win.

00:28:49.080 Now what's

00:28:49.440 interesting about

00:28:50.060 this is if

00:28:51.160 well, I'm not

00:28:55.360 even going to

00:28:55.700 go there.

00:28:56.020 So I think

00:28:57.940 Bernie is the

00:28:59.200 weakest candidate

00:29:00.400 but not the

00:29:01.300 most fun

00:29:01.940 candidate.

00:29:02.600 The most fun

00:29:03.120 candidate by far

00:29:04.000 would be

00:29:04.340 Bloomberg because

00:29:05.920 a Bloomberg

00:29:06.480 Trump fight

00:29:08.800 would be

00:29:09.240 billionaire on

00:29:09.960 billionaire.

00:29:10.840 It would be a

00:29:11.540 fair fight.

00:29:12.700 It would be

00:29:13.540 dirty, fair and

00:29:15.200 dirty.

00:29:15.620 In other words,

00:29:16.200 within politics

00:29:16.940 you expect a

00:29:17.700 little bit of

00:29:18.100 dirt, so

00:29:18.620 somehow that

00:29:19.940 seems fair.

00:29:20.520 But I think

00:29:22.820 Trump would

00:29:23.880 destroy them

00:29:24.680 both.

00:29:26.220 All right.

00:29:28.440 Let's see what

00:29:29.220 else we get.

00:29:33.320 Biden.

00:29:34.100 So Biden

00:29:34.520 does a TV

00:29:35.780 interview, which

00:29:37.280 is always a

00:29:37.780 mistake for

00:29:38.280 Biden because

00:29:38.860 he's Mr.

00:29:39.680 Gaff.

00:29:40.440 So they usually

00:29:41.100 try to keep

00:29:41.620 him away from

00:29:42.080 cameras.

00:29:43.120 But he said

00:29:45.160 that white 0.95

00:29:45.920 supremacists are

00:29:46.740 very enthusiastic

00:29:47.460 about Trump.

00:29:49.040 That's what

00:29:49.400 Biden slips in

00:29:50.260 there.

00:29:51.120 And I'm

00:29:51.420 thinking, I

00:29:53.740 don't even

00:29:54.200 know a white

00:29:54.840 supremacist.

00:29:56.400 Like, actually.

00:29:57.940 Have you ever

00:29:58.420 met a white

00:29:58.980 supremacist?

00:30:00.220 There are

00:30:00.660 definitely racists.

00:30:02.140 There are

00:30:02.520 definitely white

00:30:04.140 nationalists.

00:30:05.380 There are

00:30:05.820 definitely neo-Nazis.

00:30:07.740 But I don't

00:30:08.520 think any of

00:30:09.120 those groups I

00:30:09.820 named think

00:30:11.100 that white 0.95

00:30:11.500 people are

00:30:11.980 superior.

00:30:13.880 Do you?

00:30:15.280 Is there a

00:30:16.020 white supremacist

00:30:17.060 somewhere in

00:30:18.200 the country,

00:30:18.740 in the United

00:30:19.200 States in

00:30:19.760 2020,

00:30:20.240 who has a

00:30:21.620 television set

00:30:22.480 and they

00:30:23.560 can see a

00:30:24.360 little bit

00:30:24.680 outside of

00:30:25.260 their hovel

00:30:26.340 or wherever

00:30:26.820 they're living?

00:30:28.540 Is there

00:30:28.840 anybody who

00:30:29.240 can turn on

00:30:29.680 the TV and

00:30:30.240 say to

00:30:30.520 themselves,

00:30:30.980 you know,

00:30:31.640 I don't

00:30:32.660 think black 0.76

00:30:33.580 people will

00:30:34.200 ever make it

00:30:34.780 in sports.

00:30:35.500 sports, and

00:30:37.400 then they turn

00:30:37.840 on the TV

00:30:38.360 and they're

00:30:38.620 like, oh,

00:30:39.660 okay, well

00:30:41.280 apparently black

00:30:42.080 people are

00:30:42.620 good at

00:30:42.980 sports, but

00:30:44.440 they're never

00:30:45.040 going to make

00:30:45.480 it in the

00:30:45.960 arts.

00:30:47.420 And then they

00:30:47.900 turn on the

00:30:48.340 TV and

00:30:48.960 they're like,

00:30:49.700 oh, okay,

00:30:51.680 well it looks

00:30:52.140 like they're

00:30:52.600 really, really

00:30:53.200 successful in

00:30:53.940 the arts and

00:30:54.540 music and

00:30:55.400 every form of

00:30:56.600 entertainment,

00:30:57.040 so, but,

00:30:58.460 but, you

00:30:59.580 know, you'll

00:31:00.060 never have a

00:31:01.220 black person

00:31:01.780 that will be

00:31:02.120 president.

00:31:02.900 Okay, Obama

00:31:03.580 was president.

00:31:05.020 You know, and

00:31:05.560 you can just

00:31:05.980 go down the

00:31:06.480 line.

00:31:07.300 Like, I've

00:31:08.120 never met a

00:31:08.820 white supremacist

00:31:09.800 who thought

00:31:10.960 that white 0.95

00:31:13.040 people are

00:31:13.940 better than

00:31:14.420 other people.

00:31:16.020 Have you?

00:31:17.100 I mean,

00:31:17.800 seriously, have

00:31:19.060 you ever met

00:31:19.540 anybody?

00:31:20.380 I've never

00:31:20.700 even seen an

00:31:22.540 interview recently.

00:31:24.460 Now, you have

00:31:24.900 to throw in

00:31:25.400 recently, because

00:31:26.680 if you go

00:31:27.160 back into our

00:31:27.900 dark American

00:31:28.740 past, yeah,

00:31:29.560 you'll find

00:31:29.960 every bit of

00:31:30.780 that.

00:31:33.000 But in

00:31:33.640 2020, could

00:31:35.860 you find me

00:31:36.720 one person

00:31:38.100 who said,

00:31:38.840 oh, yeah,

00:31:40.260 you know,

00:31:40.620 this race is

00:31:41.540 way better than

00:31:42.300 this race on

00:31:42.980 every dimension.

00:31:44.580 I don't think

00:31:45.380 so.

00:31:46.440 I don't think

00:31:47.040 so.

00:31:47.720 No, Ann

00:31:48.300 Coulter doesn't

00:31:48.940 think that.

00:31:50.820 And you're

00:31:51.580 going back to

00:31:52.040 Margaret Singer,

00:31:52.900 you have to go

00:31:53.520 back to the

00:31:54.000 past.

00:31:54.620 I'm talking

00:31:55.140 2020.

00:31:55.720 2020, I'm

00:31:58.120 going to

00:31:58.280 make the

00:31:58.840 claim that

00:32:00.000 there's no

00:32:00.400 such thing as 0.74

00:32:01.260 an actual

00:32:01.800 white supremacist,

00:32:03.480 meaning thinking

00:32:04.800 that one race

00:32:05.560 is superior to

00:32:06.500 others, you

00:32:07.520 know, in all

00:32:07.840 the important

00:32:08.240 ways.

00:32:08.780 I don't think

00:32:09.340 that exists.

00:32:10.980 There are just

00:32:11.360 people who have

00:32:11.920 preferences, which

00:32:12.880 maybe you wish

00:32:13.540 they didn't

00:32:13.900 have, but it's

00:32:16.020 not that.

00:32:17.260 Anyway, so

00:32:18.540 Biden, I think

00:32:19.740 he's just lost

00:32:20.700 in the past,

00:32:21.780 in some past

00:32:22.500 where there were

00:32:23.140 such things as

00:32:23.920 white supremacists

00:32:24.840 in the old

00:32:25.740 fashioned way

00:32:26.300 that he thinks

00:32:26.780 of it.

00:32:27.940 All right, and

00:32:28.880 I think he's

00:32:29.400 cleverly trying to

00:32:30.300 conflate that

00:32:31.160 term with other

00:32:32.740 terms to add to

00:32:34.380 the badness.

00:32:36.320 I love the

00:32:37.180 effort going on

00:32:38.140 now to force

00:32:38.960 Bernie to

00:32:39.600 disavow his own

00:32:40.580 supporters.

00:32:43.500 I don't think

00:32:44.340 it's going to

00:32:44.700 happen, but I

00:32:47.880 think it was

00:32:48.140 Biden and maybe

00:32:49.220 others who

00:32:49.760 are calling

00:32:50.120 for him to

00:32:51.100 disavow his

00:32:53.520 Bernie bro

00:32:54.140 supporters who

00:32:55.260 are misogynistic

00:32:56.380 and whatever

00:32:57.420 else they are.

00:33:00.080 I just love

00:33:01.000 watching the

00:33:01.840 Democrats tear

00:33:02.960 each other

00:33:03.340 apart.

00:33:04.540 All right,

00:33:04.700 here's a

00:33:05.160 thought for

00:33:09.260 you.

00:33:10.440 You know,

00:33:10.840 for a while

00:33:11.260 there were

00:33:12.020 lots of talk

00:33:12.680 about reparations,

00:33:14.220 but you haven't

00:33:14.720 heard about it

00:33:15.260 lately, right?

00:33:16.680 During the

00:33:17.300 early parts of

00:33:18.060 the Democratic

00:33:19.160 primary process,

00:33:22.040 you saw some

00:33:22.540 of the Democrats

00:33:23.140 talking about,

00:33:24.020 hey, yeah, I

00:33:24.620 would do

00:33:24.900 reparations for

00:33:25.940 slavery, but I

00:33:28.420 haven't heard it

00:33:28.920 lately.

00:33:29.780 It feels like it

00:33:30.560 dropped off the

00:33:31.600 top ten of

00:33:32.440 things that people

00:33:33.140 are talking about,

00:33:34.360 but let me just

00:33:35.460 throw out this

00:33:36.120 idea.

00:33:38.040 Recently, the

00:33:38.880 Trump administration

00:33:39.740 joined with

00:33:41.140 Congress in a

00:33:41.880 bipartisan thing,

00:33:43.240 so it's not

00:33:43.660 just a Trump

00:33:44.620 thing, but

00:33:45.280 Trump signed

00:33:46.740 off on it,

00:33:47.260 so the

00:33:47.960 administration

00:33:48.400 usually

00:33:48.860 traditionally

00:33:49.700 gets credit

00:33:50.380 even if

00:33:51.440 Congress did

00:33:52.040 most of the

00:33:52.480 work.

00:33:52.880 As long as

00:33:53.320 the president

00:33:53.700 says yes at

00:33:54.440 the end,

00:33:55.460 the administration

00:33:56.080 tends to get

00:33:56.760 some credit

00:33:57.160 for that,

00:33:57.960 even if you

00:33:59.040 think they

00:33:59.340 shouldn't.

00:34:00.740 So one of

00:34:01.180 the things that

00:34:01.660 fits in that

00:34:02.540 category is

00:34:03.360 that the

00:34:04.620 president signed

00:34:05.240 a bipartisan

00:34:05.880 bill back in

00:34:07.000 December that

00:34:08.480 will permanently

00:34:09.280 provide more

00:34:10.180 than $250 million

00:34:11.500 a year to the

00:34:13.000 nation's historically

00:34:13.980 black universities,

00:34:15.080 countries, along

00:34:16.220 with dozens of

00:34:17.000 other institutions

00:34:17.780 that serve large

00:34:19.080 shares of

00:34:19.760 minority students.

00:34:21.780 Now, if the

00:34:23.620 government and

00:34:25.060 our Congress

00:34:25.700 decides to put

00:34:28.180 $250 million a

00:34:29.420 year toward

00:34:30.500 primarily black

00:34:34.240 interests and

00:34:35.760 black education

00:34:36.860 in particular,

00:34:37.580 higher education,

00:34:38.280 I think the

00:34:39.120 emphasis here is

00:34:40.020 on STEM-type

00:34:41.640 programs, so

00:34:43.400 there's a real

00:34:44.780 interest to get

00:34:45.520 the higher-paying

00:34:46.780 jobs cranked up

00:34:48.700 here.

00:34:49.800 So is that not

00:34:51.700 reparations?

00:34:53.740 Is that not

00:34:54.640 reparations?

00:34:56.300 Now, apparently

00:34:57.460 it's bipartisan,

00:34:58.640 so Republicans and

00:34:59.700 Democrats both

00:35:00.520 looked at it and

00:35:01.080 said, you know,

00:35:02.280 not bad.

00:35:03.480 Now, the trouble

00:35:04.380 with doing something

00:35:05.120 that's more

00:35:05.560 traditionally

00:35:06.300 reparations,

00:35:07.260 meaning you cut

00:35:08.740 a check, like

00:35:09.540 was done with

00:35:10.420 the Japanese

00:35:11.660 Americans who

00:35:12.380 were held in

00:35:13.340 internment camps

00:35:14.500 in World War

00:35:15.520 II, they just

00:35:16.220 got a check,

00:35:17.220 which covered

00:35:18.560 almost nothing

00:35:19.560 compared to what

00:35:20.140 they lost in

00:35:20.800 many cases.

00:35:21.780 But that's not

00:35:22.380 really practical

00:35:23.180 with slavery

00:35:24.600 reparations,

00:35:25.400 because you've

00:35:25.920 got all the

00:35:27.140 people who

00:35:27.580 weren't here

00:35:28.240 when it

00:35:28.660 happened,

00:35:29.480 you've got,

00:35:30.380 you know,

00:35:30.580 what about

00:35:30.980 people who

00:35:32.060 are black,

00:35:32.620 but they came

00:35:33.120 in after

00:35:33.740 slavery,

00:35:34.620 they came

00:35:34.920 from other

00:35:35.300 countries,

00:35:35.920 you know.

00:35:36.160 It would be

00:35:37.520 impossible to

00:35:39.400 just write

00:35:39.880 checks,

00:35:40.760 so that's

00:35:41.240 never going

00:35:41.580 to happen.

00:35:42.860 But if you

00:35:44.240 may recall

00:35:44.900 that I once,

00:35:47.120 not too long

00:35:47.720 ago, a few

00:35:48.080 years ago,

00:35:48.480 I was writing

00:35:48.840 blogging about

00:35:50.080 where we could

00:35:50.860 do reparations

00:35:51.920 in a way that

00:35:52.580 would make

00:35:52.980 everybody happy,

00:35:54.700 which would be

00:35:55.680 funding college

00:35:57.420 for black

00:35:58.500 students with

00:35:59.320 some kind of

00:35:59.820 favoritism,

00:36:00.700 and that's

00:36:01.300 what this is.

00:36:01.900 so it's

00:36:03.660 a favoritism

00:36:04.540 for black

00:36:05.480 students and

00:36:06.360 other minorities

00:36:07.020 in which they

00:36:08.240 get some

00:36:08.920 favorable funding

00:36:09.740 from the

00:36:10.140 government so

00:36:11.000 that they have

00:36:11.600 high-level

00:36:12.500 institutions.

00:36:13.900 Now, does

00:36:14.220 this matter?

00:36:15.640 Is it

00:36:15.920 enough?

00:36:17.080 Well, I

00:36:17.860 would note

00:36:18.280 that Kamala

00:36:18.980 Harris came

00:36:19.540 out of one

00:36:19.920 of those

00:36:20.240 colleges,

00:36:20.580 so it's

00:36:23.280 clear that

00:36:23.760 those colleges

00:36:24.340 are producing

00:36:25.240 leaders,

00:36:26.840 and I

00:36:28.400 would say

00:36:28.820 this is a

00:36:29.700 really,

00:36:30.340 really strong

00:36:31.300 approach to

00:36:32.840 something like

00:36:33.740 reparations.

00:36:34.460 So here's the

00:36:34.900 fun part.

00:36:37.480 Think of the

00:36:38.180 things that

00:36:38.620 Trump has

00:36:39.180 done for

00:36:39.700 the black

00:36:42.080 community,

00:36:42.600 including the

00:36:43.060 opportunity zones.

00:36:43.960 I think Tim

00:36:44.440 Scott was

00:36:46.140 kind of in

00:36:48.040 charge of

00:36:48.380 that,

00:36:49.080 so there

00:36:50.100 are,

00:36:50.680 I may be

00:36:51.060 using the

00:36:51.440 wrong thing,

00:36:51.980 special

00:36:52.300 opportunity

00:36:52.780 zones or

00:36:53.380 something,

00:36:54.060 but it's

00:36:54.380 basically,

00:36:55.080 again,

00:36:55.380 it's government

00:36:55.860 funding for

00:36:56.820 disadvantaged

00:36:57.620 areas,

00:36:58.640 which are

00:36:59.240 primarily

00:36:59.780 black and

00:37:00.340 minority

00:37:00.720 areas.

00:37:01.560 So we

00:37:02.100 have two

00:37:02.400 areas in

00:37:02.900 which the

00:37:03.220 government

00:37:03.520 is very

00:37:04.120 directly

00:37:04.680 funding very

00:37:06.440 large amounts

00:37:07.020 of money

00:37:07.380 to black

00:37:09.160 interests that

00:37:10.580 you could say

00:37:11.620 that's not

00:37:12.180 reparations,

00:37:13.660 but I think

00:37:14.200 that's just

00:37:14.640 word thinking,

00:37:15.680 because it

00:37:16.040 looks exactly

00:37:16.660 like reparations

00:37:17.540 to me,

00:37:18.740 the best you

00:37:19.540 could do,

00:37:20.780 since you

00:37:21.240 couldn't write

00:37:21.640 checks to

00:37:22.040 everybody,

00:37:22.380 there's no

00:37:22.660 way to do

00:37:23.020 that.

00:37:23.380 All right,

00:37:24.040 let's talk

00:37:24.380 about something

00:37:24.780 else.

00:37:26.820 Does it

00:37:28.280 seem to

00:37:28.560 you that

00:37:28.940 Trump is

00:37:29.440 the only

00:37:29.740 one who

00:37:30.200 is working

00:37:31.680 on unity

00:37:32.440 while the

00:37:33.480 Democrats are

00:37:34.120 working desperately

00:37:34.860 to divide us?

00:37:36.340 Just keep that

00:37:37.460 in mind as

00:37:38.040 you're watching,

00:37:38.660 because I just

00:37:39.380 gave you some

00:37:39.860 examples where

00:37:41.280 Trump, you

00:37:42.420 know, and you

00:37:43.140 could throw in

00:37:43.780 prison reform

00:37:44.860 and other

00:37:45.300 things, low

00:37:46.680 unemployment

00:37:47.000 rates, so

00:37:48.080 President Trump

00:37:48.640 is continuously

00:37:49.400 doing things

00:37:50.340 which are

00:37:50.720 obviously designed

00:37:51.680 to bring people

00:37:52.620 together in the

00:37:53.660 United States.

00:37:54.980 And the

00:37:55.200 Democrats are

00:37:57.500 obviously doing

00:37:58.260 the opposite.

00:37:59.560 They're very

00:37:59.940 obviously doing

00:38:00.580 the opposite.

00:38:02.160 All right.

00:38:06.320 The Boy Scouts

00:38:07.340 of America

00:38:07.900 filed for

00:38:08.660 bankruptcy amid

00:38:10.200 a surge in

00:38:10.960 legal costs

00:38:11.800 over his

00:38:12.320 handling of

00:38:12.920 sexual abuse

00:38:13.800 allegations.

00:38:15.540 Now, this

00:38:17.000 story, the

00:38:19.200 actual details

00:38:20.200 of the story,

00:38:21.380 I'm not

00:38:22.360 interested in.

00:38:23.700 I mean,

00:38:24.340 they're

00:38:25.200 important, and

00:38:26.700 they can't be

00:38:27.800 swept under

00:38:28.320 the rug, of

00:38:29.020 course, but

00:38:30.560 just for our

00:38:31.120 purposes today,

00:38:31.980 the actual

00:38:32.360 details of

00:38:33.020 those cases,

00:38:33.700 I'm not too

00:38:34.180 interested in.

00:38:35.000 Here's what

00:38:35.400 I'm interested

00:38:35.880 in.

00:38:37.840 Incentives

00:38:38.320 work.

00:38:40.840 Every time

00:38:41.580 you see a

00:38:42.020 situation in

00:38:42.980 which there's

00:38:43.380 a clear

00:38:43.800 incentive to

00:38:44.540 do one

00:38:44.980 thing versus

00:38:45.560 the other,

00:38:46.580 you should

00:38:47.000 expect that

00:38:47.600 that's going

00:38:48.000 to make a

00:38:48.340 difference.

00:38:49.580 And if you

00:38:50.480 create a

00:38:51.060 national

00:38:51.440 organization,

00:38:52.360 which by

00:38:53.460 its nature

00:38:54.080 pairs adult

00:38:55.540 men with

00:38:57.600 otherwise

00:38:58.300 unsupervised

00:39:00.760 young people,

00:39:03.220 eventually that

00:39:04.300 organization is

00:39:05.380 going to

00:39:05.820 attract not

00:39:07.340 just good

00:39:08.300 dads and

00:39:08.960 good moms 0.75

00:39:09.600 who just

00:39:10.500 want to

00:39:10.800 help out,

00:39:12.000 but it's

00:39:12.420 going to

00:39:12.680 attract more

00:39:13.500 than its

00:39:13.920 share of

00:39:14.400 people who

00:39:14.860 say,

00:39:15.340 are you

00:39:16.020 kidding?

00:39:17.140 That's

00:39:17.520 exactly what

00:39:18.100 I want.

00:39:18.960 The people

00:39:19.380 who have

00:39:19.620 bad intentions

00:39:20.300 and just

00:39:20.860 want to

00:39:21.340 have access

00:39:22.680 to children,

00:39:23.480 really.

00:39:24.820 So every

00:39:26.940 time I see

00:39:27.460 somebody who's

00:39:28.080 a coach for

00:39:30.160 some youth

00:39:30.800 league or

00:39:31.760 something like

00:39:33.200 that, there's

00:39:34.180 always a little

00:39:34.620 bell that goes

00:39:35.240 off in my

00:39:35.680 head which

00:39:36.520 says, I

00:39:38.540 hope they

00:39:38.920 just want to

00:39:39.380 help.

00:39:40.820 I hope they

00:39:41.320 just want to

00:39:41.740 help.

00:39:42.880 But what I

00:39:44.140 use is the

00:39:44.780 shoe salesman

00:39:45.880 analogy.

00:39:46.680 And it

00:39:47.720 goes like

00:39:48.120 this.

00:39:48.460 And by

00:39:48.700 the way, I

00:39:49.060 have no

00:39:49.400 evidence that

00:39:50.220 this is

00:39:50.560 true.

00:39:51.280 Just think

00:39:52.260 it through.

00:39:53.380 My belief

00:39:54.120 is that the

00:39:55.180 industry of

00:39:55.900 shoe salesperson

00:39:57.120 has existed

00:39:57.940 for a long

00:39:58.500 time.

00:39:59.440 And over

00:39:59.960 time, you

00:40:00.940 would expect

00:40:01.520 that it

00:40:02.540 would attract

00:40:03.060 more than

00:40:03.620 its share

00:40:04.060 of people

00:40:04.500 who kind

00:40:05.660 of like

00:40:06.000 feet and

00:40:06.580 shoes more

00:40:07.200 than the

00:40:07.540 average, if

00:40:08.060 you know

00:40:08.260 what I

00:40:08.480 mean.

00:40:09.320 So in

00:40:09.960 theory,

00:40:11.380 sooner or

00:40:12.300 later, most

00:40:13.700 or all

00:40:14.220 male shoe

00:40:15.260 salespeople

00:40:16.060 should have

00:40:17.960 a little

00:40:18.480 love of

00:40:18.940 shoes.

00:40:19.860 I'm trying

00:40:20.380 to keep

00:40:20.700 this G-rated,

00:40:21.860 but you

00:40:22.180 know what I

00:40:22.520 mean, right?

00:40:23.400 So over

00:40:24.200 time, incentives

00:40:24.960 always work.

00:40:26.400 Just keep

00:40:26.800 that in

00:40:27.080 mind.

00:40:28.000 All right.

00:40:30.160 I saw

00:40:30.880 trending on

00:40:31.560 Twitter the

00:40:33.040 name Kenan

00:40:33.920 Thompson.

00:40:35.700 And Kenan

00:40:36.500 Thompson is

00:40:37.220 a comedian

00:40:38.560 from Saturday

00:40:39.400 Night Live,

00:40:40.060 member of the

00:40:40.460 cast for a

00:40:40.940 long time.

00:40:41.800 And as soon

00:40:42.280 as I saw it

00:40:42.740 was trending,

00:40:43.360 I thought,

00:40:43.840 oh, no.

00:40:45.840 Another

00:40:46.240 tragic death

00:40:47.240 of a comedian

00:40:48.060 who's left

00:40:49.340 us too

00:40:49.760 young.

00:40:50.880 And I

00:40:51.400 click on

00:40:51.820 it, and

00:40:52.480 it turns

00:40:52.700 out it

00:40:52.920 wasn't any

00:40:53.320 bad news.

00:40:53.960 He got

00:40:54.220 the job

00:40:54.720 of hosting

00:40:55.760 the White

00:40:56.120 House

00:40:56.320 Correspondence

00:40:57.080 Dinner.

00:40:57.980 So congratulations

00:40:58.760 to Kenan

00:40:59.340 Thompson.

00:41:00.060 But what's

00:41:00.340 funny is I

00:41:00.860 read the

00:41:01.260 comments on

00:41:01.920 the hashtag,

00:41:03.020 and it

00:41:03.380 was funny how

00:41:03.900 many people

00:41:04.380 had the

00:41:04.700 same first

00:41:06.560 thought.

00:41:07.780 People were

00:41:08.660 clicking on

00:41:09.280 that like

00:41:09.640 crazy to

00:41:10.200 find out,

00:41:10.640 oh, my

00:41:10.900 God, I

00:41:11.260 hope he's

00:41:12.420 okay.

00:41:13.580 And he's

00:41:13.900 okay.

00:41:15.260 So how

00:41:16.720 often do

00:41:17.180 you get

00:41:17.440 good news?

00:41:18.440 It's like,

00:41:18.840 hey,

00:41:19.300 Kenan

00:41:19.560 Thompson,

00:41:20.820 congratulations,

00:41:21.780 you got a

00:41:22.040 good job,

00:41:22.700 and you're

00:41:23.080 healthy as

00:41:23.580 far as

00:41:23.820 we know.

00:41:25.160 Did you

00:41:25.760 see the

00:41:26.080 video of

00:41:26.880 Sanders was

00:41:27.700 giving his

00:41:28.500 speech, I

00:41:28.900 guess, in

00:41:29.200 Nevada?

00:41:30.520 And a young

00:41:30.960 woman came 1.00

00:41:31.480 up and grabbed

00:41:32.080 the microphone

00:41:32.640 away from

00:41:33.180 them, and

00:41:33.520 then another

00:41:33.940 young woman

00:41:34.560 or two of

00:41:35.380 them came

00:41:36.520 up and took

00:41:37.240 their tops

00:41:37.720 off and

00:41:38.300 dumped pink 0.84

00:41:39.900 colored milk

00:41:40.900 on them

00:41:41.380 because they

00:41:41.900 were protesting

00:41:42.520 dairy, I

00:41:45.520 guess the

00:41:45.920 horrible dairy

00:41:47.220 industry they

00:41:47.940 were protesting.

00:41:49.620 And so

00:41:51.460 Sanders, when

00:41:52.580 the first young

00:41:53.160 woman tried to 1.00

00:41:53.880 grab the

00:41:54.260 microphone away,

00:41:55.020 he just let

00:41:55.480 her have it,

00:41:56.360 and he stood

00:41:57.080 back.

00:41:58.180 He let his

00:41:58.940 security do

00:41:59.740 what his

00:42:00.100 security does,

00:42:01.100 and they took

00:42:02.360 care of it in

00:42:03.000 a reasonable

00:42:04.640 manner,

00:42:05.080 professional

00:42:05.440 manner.

00:42:05.720 So, on

00:42:07.400 one hand,

00:42:08.520 you could

00:42:08.860 say, oh,

00:42:09.660 you know,

00:42:10.140 actually,

00:42:10.640 Sanders handled

00:42:11.480 that perfectly

00:42:12.140 because he

00:42:13.840 avoided any

00:42:14.600 conflict, he

00:42:16.160 got out of

00:42:16.680 the way, and

00:42:17.560 he let the

00:42:17.980 professionals who

00:42:18.780 were there for

00:42:19.380 that purpose,

00:42:20.080 the security,

00:42:20.640 do their job,

00:42:21.340 and then they

00:42:21.740 did it.

00:42:22.980 But that's

00:42:23.660 not how it

00:42:24.180 looked.

00:42:26.380 Unfortunately,

00:42:27.720 it looked like

00:42:29.060 a weak leader

00:42:30.820 because he

00:42:32.580 just got,

00:42:33.260 basically, a

00:42:33.980 young woman

00:42:34.440 just pushed

00:42:34.980 him off the

00:42:35.440 stage and

00:42:36.560 took control,

00:42:37.780 and he let

00:42:38.200 it happen.

00:42:39.300 So, logically,

00:42:40.480 he did the

00:42:40.900 right thing,

00:42:42.420 and I really

00:42:43.900 think he did,

00:42:44.760 just getting

00:42:45.300 it out of

00:42:45.580 the way.

00:42:47.100 But the

00:42:48.040 look didn't

00:42:49.480 serve his

00:42:49.920 purposes.

00:42:50.460 It made him

00:42:50.760 look weak.

00:42:53.260 But then he

00:42:53.960 made some

00:42:54.620 good jokes

00:42:55.060 about the

00:42:55.420 free

00:42:55.640 entertainment,

00:42:56.840 so I think

00:42:57.400 he recovered

00:42:57.980 a little bit

00:42:58.460 from that.

00:42:59.440 And I

00:42:59.680 thought to

00:42:59.960 myself,

00:43:00.900 if I were

00:43:02.420 a political

00:43:03.060 operative,

00:43:04.620 and let's

00:43:04.920 say I

00:43:05.740 were a

00:43:06.100 political

00:43:06.420 operative

00:43:07.000 who was

00:43:08.180 working for

00:43:08.980 Bernie,

00:43:10.220 but I

00:43:10.560 was the

00:43:11.280 dirty tricks

00:43:11.880 person,

00:43:13.020 what would

00:43:13.960 be the

00:43:14.300 best dirty

00:43:15.440 trick that

00:43:16.960 you could

00:43:17.320 pull that

00:43:18.740 looks like

00:43:19.340 it's against

00:43:20.040 Sanders but

00:43:21.000 would work

00:43:21.480 in his

00:43:21.800 favor?

00:43:23.540 Would it

00:43:24.140 be the

00:43:24.500 suggestion

00:43:24.960 that there

00:43:25.980 might be

00:43:26.420 female nudity

00:43:27.340 at his

00:43:27.880 next rally?

00:43:28.640 because I

00:43:30.580 think that

00:43:30.940 would increase

00:43:31.400 his crowd

00:43:31.840 size.

00:43:33.540 Am I

00:43:33.700 wrong?

00:43:34.440 Just the

00:43:35.000 fact that it

00:43:35.480 made it more

00:43:35.900 interesting is

00:43:37.440 going to make

00:43:37.840 some people

00:43:38.280 say, well,

00:43:39.260 that might

00:43:39.560 happen again.

00:43:41.740 Right?

00:43:42.920 So if they

00:43:44.140 could make

00:43:44.460 that happen

00:43:44.960 twice,

00:43:46.060 and I'm

00:43:48.400 not saying it

00:43:48.840 was a dirty

00:43:49.260 trick, it

00:43:49.700 was probably

00:43:50.020 just a real

00:43:50.860 grassroots

00:43:51.300 movement,

00:43:52.200 but if it

00:43:52.640 was a dirty

00:43:53.140 trick and

00:43:54.040 they could

00:43:54.320 make it

00:43:54.600 happen twice

00:43:55.360 in a row,

00:43:55.760 by the

00:43:56.980 third time,

00:43:57.720 Sanders is

00:43:58.200 going to

00:43:58.400 have a

00:43:58.720 record

00:43:58.940 crowd,

00:43:59.700 so I

00:43:59.900 think that

00:44:00.180 would be

00:44:00.540 hilarious.

00:44:02.140 All right.

00:44:07.120 I had a

00:44:07.840 couple other

00:44:08.260 things to

00:44:09.400 talk about

00:44:09.880 that I

00:44:10.160 think I'm

00:44:10.520 not going

00:44:10.920 to.

00:44:12.240 I'm already

00:44:12.780 in enough

00:44:13.160 trouble.

00:44:14.880 So here's

00:44:15.900 an update.

00:44:16.900 I think I

00:44:17.380 told you that

00:44:18.040 I've been

00:44:18.660 working with

00:44:19.100 Google,

00:44:19.800 their team

00:44:20.380 that handles

00:44:21.220 the YouTube

00:44:22.020 demonetization

00:44:23.120 stuff.

00:44:23.960 When these

00:44:24.480 videos go

00:44:25.460 over to

00:44:25.740 YouTube for

00:44:26.900 replay, you

00:44:29.140 can also

00:44:29.440 watch them

00:44:29.820 on Periscope

00:44:30.600 for replay,

00:44:31.560 but I put

00:44:32.560 them on

00:44:32.780 YouTube as

00:44:33.420 well, and

00:44:34.260 they usually

00:44:34.600 get demonetized

00:44:35.440 based on

00:44:35.940 keywords, so

00:44:36.960 the algorithm

00:44:37.500 just picks

00:44:38.200 out keywords.

00:44:39.880 Today's

00:44:40.360 presentation

00:44:40.920 doesn't have

00:44:42.040 a chance of

00:44:43.480 being monetized

00:44:44.300 because it

00:44:45.240 has so many

00:44:45.680 bad keywords

00:44:46.400 in it that

00:44:48.240 in the way I

00:44:48.860 presented them,

00:44:49.540 there was

00:44:49.720 nothing bad

00:44:50.200 about them,

00:44:50.640 I hope.

00:44:51.420 I don't think

00:44:52.000 there was

00:44:52.200 anything I

00:44:52.600 said that

00:44:52.880 was even

00:44:53.200 controversial

00:44:53.600 today, but

00:44:54.960 it will be

00:44:55.320 demonetized.

00:44:57.840 And I'm

00:44:58.540 still working

00:44:58.980 through that

00:44:59.520 just so you

00:45:00.620 know.

00:45:06.180 Somebody says

00:45:07.080 you probably

00:45:07.600 have been

00:45:08.100 quote,

00:45:08.520 working with

00:45:09.540 Google.

00:45:10.540 Okay, I don't

00:45:10.960 know what that

00:45:11.340 means.

00:45:12.580 Yeah, so the

00:45:13.580 other story that

00:45:15.080 Joel Pollack

00:45:16.260 broke on his

00:45:17.900 radio show,

00:45:18.980 Breitbart Radio,

00:45:19.800 with Dershowitz,

00:45:20.920 is that Dershowitz is

00:45:21.780 apparently going

00:45:22.560 to reveal

00:45:24.040 sometime in the

00:45:25.020 near future,

00:45:26.320 based on some

00:45:27.040 legal case that's 0.97

00:45:29.100 going to be

00:45:29.400 filed or whatever,

00:45:31.200 that Soros once

00:45:33.320 asked Obama to

00:45:35.460 investigate somebody.

00:45:36.740 I think that's

00:45:37.360 the story.

00:45:38.180 But I would say

00:45:38.740 that's a wait and

00:45:39.360 see.

00:45:40.260 I wouldn't put any

00:45:42.100 weight on that

00:45:43.140 until you see the

00:45:44.040 details, because

00:45:44.800 that's either a big

00:45:45.520 deal or a no deal.

00:45:47.360 And even Dershowitz

00:45:48.120 said it's not that

00:45:49.300 unusual for people

00:45:50.140 to whisper to

00:45:50.800 presidents and

00:45:52.180 say, hey, you

00:45:53.460 ought to look into

00:45:53.980 this.

00:45:55.220 All right.

00:45:59.300 Somebody says,

00:46:00.240 will Comey,

00:46:00.880 Brennan, and or

00:46:01.660 Clapper be

00:46:02.280 indicted?

00:46:03.040 I would guess no

00:46:04.340 at this point.

00:46:05.980 And the weird

00:46:06.700 thing is, I don't

00:46:08.560 know that there

00:46:09.020 will ever be a

00:46:09.660 reason.

00:46:11.180 Do you?

00:46:12.140 I just don't know

00:46:13.000 that we'll ever see

00:46:13.680 a reason that they're

00:46:14.600 not indicted.

00:46:15.980 I think it just

00:46:16.780 won't happen.

00:46:19.300 So, I almost

00:46:24.280 had Tulsi

00:46:26.540 Gabbard on this

00:46:28.300 Periscope yesterday.

00:46:30.980 No, I almost had

00:46:31.760 her on Friday, but

00:46:33.140 I couldn't schedule

00:46:34.320 it, because she

00:46:35.220 couldn't do it at

00:46:35.820 this time, and I

00:46:36.620 couldn't do it at

00:46:37.080 her time.

00:46:38.280 So, they did

00:46:39.240 circle back and

00:46:40.220 tried to do that,

00:46:40.880 but I couldn't

00:46:41.280 schedule.

00:46:44.760 Bloomberg de

00:46:45.360 Blasio ticket, no.

00:46:47.880 Got anything on

00:46:48.780 McCabe.

00:46:50.260 So, McCabe will

00:46:51.560 not be charged, and

00:46:53.560 honestly, I don't

00:46:54.480 really understand the

00:46:55.760 differences between

00:46:57.420 one person lying to

00:47:00.460 Congress or lying to

00:47:01.820 the FBI.

00:47:02.860 I just don't know

00:47:03.860 what makes one

00:47:04.560 illegal and one

00:47:05.340 not.

00:47:08.300 But I will observe

00:47:10.260 that there doesn't

00:47:11.120 seem to be a

00:47:11.780 standard way that

00:47:13.260 that rule is

00:47:14.340 applied.

00:47:14.700 somebody says,

00:47:18.320 then, what is

00:47:18.740 Durham doing?

00:47:20.260 Well, I don't

00:47:22.160 know what Durham is

00:47:22.800 doing.

00:47:23.220 I just predict that

00:47:24.360 you're not going to

00:47:24.880 see those guys that

00:47:26.080 you mentioned

00:47:26.540 indicted.

00:47:30.440 Got lots of

00:47:31.220 questions here.

00:47:31.780 All right.

00:47:43.440 What?

00:47:44.160 Leveraging

00:47:44.520 Bernie.

00:47:45.360 I don't know about

00:47:46.100 that story.

00:47:47.840 All right.

00:47:48.380 I think that's all I

00:47:49.260 got for today, and I

00:47:50.060 will talk to you

00:47:50.780 tomorrow.
