The Democrats finally ditch the faux friendship and go for the jugular with Michael Bloomberg squarely in their crosshairs. Bernie Sanders finally has to answer a question about his leg coat, and Klobuchar and Buttigieg can t stop their slap fight. So much fun. Ben Shapiro: It's the most exciting episode of The Ben Shapiro Show EVER. The Democratic Debates were a kumbaya circle. For months, we were waiting for everybody to attack each other. And then, last night, finally it all broke loose. It turns out that all of these erstwhile friends, these people who love each other and are united in their shared contempt for President Trump, it turns out they hate each other s guts. And if they had the ability to, they would actually carve out the small intestines of their enemies and feed them to the seagulls. That's what happened last night on that Democratic Debate stage. And it was glorious and it was also unbelievably stupid. The reason it was unbelievably stupid is because Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner. So naturally, all the other Democrats, being complete, utter effing morons, decide to go after Michael Bloomberg. Genius idea, guys. I m predicting it right here, right now. I think Bernie is going to sweep the primaries. I will be shocked if anyone wins two other primaries, right here right now! I m not only the primary, I m shocked if Bernie wins Nevada, South Carolina, California, Texas, or Texas, I think he s going to win pretty much everything. And I do not think this goes to an open convention, I do NOT think this will be a race I m going to be a repeat of 2016. I do you agree with me on this? I think Elizabeth Warren is a smart move. I would have been in the moderate lane, not the left lane. I don t think Joe Biden is a more durable candidate than Elizabeth Warren would be a better candidate than Bernie Sanders. - Ben Shapiro - What would you do if she was running in the progressive lane? - Is Joe Biden a non-durable candidate? - And then she sucked up all the attention from Bernie s attention from her preferred scalp by going into the Bernie lane - and then fades too late to fade too late for her preferred to go for her attention from Joe Biden? And then I start sucking up her attention in her head by sucking up his?
00:00:35.000We were waiting for everybody to attack each other.
00:00:36.000And then, last night, finally it all broke loose.
00:00:38.000It turns out that all of these erstwhile friends, these people Who love each other and they're united in their shared contempt for President Trump.
00:00:45.000It turns out they hate each other's guts.
00:00:46.000And if they had the ability to, they would actually carve out the small intestines of their enemies and feed them to the seagulls.
00:00:53.000That's what was happening last night on that Democratic debate stage.
00:01:55.000Yesterday, what did I say would happen with Elizabeth Warren?
00:01:58.000I suggested that Elizabeth Warren would be, this year's, performer of the presidential campaign ceremonial Chris Christie, Marco Rubio murder suicide.
00:02:43.000Now, it does make you wonder about her strategic acumen, not only because she attacks the person in the wrong lane, but because if Elizabeth Warren had any brains at all, she would have been in the moderate lane and she would now be the chief rival to Bernie Sanders, right?
00:02:55.000Elizabeth Warren had to make a choice very early on in this campaign, whether she was going to run in the moderate lane or whether she was going to run in the progressive lane.
00:03:02.000And her choice was basically rooted in, who do I think is a more durable candidate?
00:03:20.000And it turns out that Bernie was much more durable than Biden and Biden fell apart.
00:03:23.000And you can see the opposite decision made by Pete Buttigieg, who could have moved into the Bernie lane and instead, with his Medicare for some plan, moved into the moderate lane and started sucking up attention from Joe Biden.
00:03:33.000So Elizabeth Warren made the wrong call.
00:03:35.000Now it's too late for her, but it's not too late for her to scalp somebody.
00:04:02.000I mean, I will say my personal favorite part was the was the tête-à -tête between Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg.
00:04:08.000Klobuchar, for good reason, cannot stand Pete Buttigieg and shoved him face first into a wood chipper last night and it was glorious.
00:04:14.000But one of the main themes last night, and this is going to be a theme going forward, is that Democrats are utterly unprepared to run in a general election because they've been protected by the media.
00:04:23.000And Bernie Sanders was an excellent example of that last night.
00:04:26.000People were asked perfectly obvious questions about the record, like questions I have asked on this program for years, that every conservative has been asking for years.
00:04:35.000And Bernie gets hit with, like, the most obvious attack ever, and he has no response.
00:05:04.000But first, let's talk about the necessity for the Second Amendment.
00:05:06.000So, did you look at the Democrats on stage last night and think, man, if some of those people run the country, one of the things that they want to do is violate all of my rights, including my Second Amendment rights.
00:05:15.000Everybody on the stage last night is a gun grabber.
00:05:18.000And this is why I'm a supporter of the Second Amendment.
00:05:21.000Yes, the Second Amendment exists to protect not only your gun rights, but protect you against a government that would violate your gun rights, right?
00:05:27.000The right to bear arms protects you against violation of your rights, including the right to bear arms.
00:05:32.000Owning a rifle is an awesome responsibility.
00:05:35.000Started in a garage by a Marine veteran more than two decades ago, Bravo Company Manufacturing builds a professional-grade product built to combat standards.
00:05:42.000This is because BCM believes the same level of protection should be provided to every American Regardless if they are a private citizen or a professional.
00:05:50.000Bravo Company Manufacturing is not a sporting arms company.
00:05:53.000They design, engineer, manufacture life-saving equipment that people at BCM assume that when a rifle leaves their shop, it will be used in a life-or-death situation by a responsible citizen, law enforcement officer, or a soldier overseas, so every component of a BCM rifle is hand-assembled and tested to a life-saving standard.
00:06:27.000YouTube videos as well and meet the people who make their products at youtube.com slash bravo company you'll say awesome people great americans amazing products bravo company mfg.com okay so let's jump right in let's put this off no longer so the first 10 minutes of this debate were basically let's line up michael bloomberg and just shoot him that's that's what happened like michael bloomberg they just put him center stage and then every democrat got to take a pot shot at michael bloomberg and And Bernie Sanders opened it up.
00:06:54.000He opened it up with the typical Democratic attacks on Stop and Frisk.
00:06:57.000Now, the biggest problem for Michael Bloomberg is that he is not Donald Trump.
00:07:01.000The reason I say this is not because I think that Michael Bloomberg is less rich than Donald Trump, or that he's less New York than Donald Trump, or anything like that.
00:07:09.000The reason that Michael Bloomberg's great misfortune is to be not Donald Trump is not even because Bloomberg is running in the Democratic Party, whereas Trump is running in the Republican Party.
00:07:17.000Donald Trump For better and for worse.
00:07:20.000Many times for worse, but often for better.
00:07:22.000He's utterly unapologetic about who he is.
00:07:27.000Bloomberg could have used a little bit of that last night because every attack that was leveled against him last night could have been brazened out.
00:07:34.000He could have just stood up to the attack.
00:07:36.000And later on in the debate, by hour two, I mean, it's like a nine hour debate, by hour two, he started to realize, oh, wait a second, if I stand up on my hind legs and actually defend my record and defend myself and defend my wealth and all of this stuff, that's better than me cowering in the corner before the SJWs on Twitter.
00:07:51.000But he didn't know that, because his advisors had told him that he needed to look like the nice guy out there, which is ridiculous and stupid.
00:07:57.000So Bernie Sanders opens this thing up, being a grumpy old communist, and he's... By the way, you can just add that to any sentence about Bernie Sanders, who is the absolute worst.
00:09:08.000He is very popular in New York City with Black and Hispanic voters, Michael Bloomberg.
00:09:11.000He didn't have to kowtow to all this nonsense, but he did, and so he looked bad.
00:09:16.000Bloomberg, for his part, went back at Sanders, and he just said out loud what most of the Democrats know, or at least believe, which is that Sanders has very little shot at beating Trump because he's an old commie.
00:09:25.000I don't think there's any chance of the Senator beating President Trump.
00:09:29.000You don't start out by saying, I've got 160 million people.
00:09:34.000I'm going to take away the insurance plan that they love.
00:09:37.000That's just not a ways that you go and start building the coalition with the Sanders.
00:09:57.000You can see Elizabeth Warren's hand going up because Elizabeth Warren could not wait to jump into the fray last night, desperately vying for attention, desperately trying to re-inject energy into her campaign.
00:10:05.000And so she was, like, ready for this, right?
00:10:30.000But they ain't going to vote for her instead of Bernie.
00:10:32.000And they ain't going to vote for her instead of Buttigieg or Klobuchar or Bloomberg or Biden, by the way, who's still in the race.
00:10:38.000Dead man though he is, actual human corpse.
00:10:41.000Okay, so here is the much-ballyhooed line in which Elizabeth Warren killed Michael Bloomberg.
00:10:46.000I mean, people actually went into Wikipedia and they edited his date of death as last night and his cause of death as Senator Elizabeth Warren.
00:10:53.000Here is Elizabeth Warren going after Michael Bloomberg.
00:10:56.000I will tell you how Donald Trump would have responded to this, because Donald Trump responded to this exact same accusation.
00:11:01.000Okay, and then we'll see what Michael Bloomberg did.
00:11:04.000I'd like to talk about who we're running against.
00:11:06.000A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians.
00:11:12.000And no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump.
00:11:20.000If we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist policies like redlining and stop and frisk.
00:11:33.000Look, I'll support whoever the Democratic nominee is, but understand this.
00:11:38.000Democrats take a huge risk if we just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another.
00:11:44.000OK, so his response to all this was, well, I was, you know, I told a few jokes back in the day.
00:12:43.000The media would have hated it and would have gone over gangbusters because it turns out that when you stand up on your hind legs in a debate, that's what you need to do.
00:12:48.000Instead, Bloomberg played dead every time he was attacked.
00:12:51.000And you saw this over and over and over.
00:12:55.000She attacked Bloomberg, suggesting that it was very bad because Michael Bloomberg had said that all the other moderates ought to get out of the race.
00:13:01.000By the way, he's exactly right about this.
00:13:02.000Klobuchar has no national aspirations.
00:14:26.000I knew what to do after 9-11 and brought the city back stronger than ever.
00:14:31.000And I'm a philanthropist who didn't inherit his money, but made his money.
00:14:36.000And I'm spending that money to get rid of Donald Trump, the worst president we have ever had.
00:14:43.000And if I can get that done, it will be a great contribution to America and to my kids.
00:14:47.000So the problem for Bloomberg is, of course, he didn't look like he had any fire in his belly at all until he got to the second hour of the debate.
00:14:53.000Pete Buttigieg tried to edge his way into all of this by posing himself as the alternative to both Sanders and Bloomberg, right?
00:15:34.000We could wake up two weeks from today, the day after Super Tuesday, and the only candidates left standing will be Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg, the two most polarizing figures on this stage.
00:15:47.000And most Americans don't see where they fit if they've got to choose between a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power.
00:15:59.000Okay, he botches the line right there, but it's actually not a bad line from Buttigieg.
00:16:03.000As we'll see, however, this did not last.
00:16:05.000This charmed moment for Buttigieg that starts at the very beginning.
00:16:08.000Yeah, Amy Klobuchar took out a comb, sharpened it, and just went right for the jugular.
00:16:11.000We're going to get to more of this in just one second.
00:16:13.000This glorious debacle in the Democratic debate last night.
00:16:18.000Are you feeling a little unsafe after watching that debate?
00:16:21.000I know that all those candidates feel a little bit less safe, but are you feeling unsafe because you live in, let's say, California, where the governor of California just announced that we basically have a state emergency thanks to homelessness and they're rising levels of street crime and we've got All sorts of problems property owners have in my neighborhood.
00:16:36.000Breaking and entering has become a problem.
00:16:39.000Ring's mission is to make neighborhoods safer.
00:16:40.000You already know about their smart video doorbells and cameras that protect millions of people everywhere.
00:16:45.000Ring helps you stay connected to your home anywhere in the world.

00:16:59.000I got Ring devices all over my property to make sure that that ring of security does exist around my property.
00:17:05.000And by paranoid, I mean people are out to get me.
00:17:06.000And that's why I have Ring security devices all around the property.
00:17:09.000It is a good idea for you to do the same.
00:17:12.000This kit includes a video doorbell and a chime pro, which is just what you need to start building that ring of security around your home the same way I have around mine.
00:17:28.000As I say, what all the candidates last night should have been doing was attacking Sanders, not Bloomberg, because Sanders is the frontrunner.
00:17:35.000Lest we forget, Sanders is leading by 10 points in the national polling.
00:17:43.000Sanders is your leader in the clubhouse right now.
00:17:46.000And if Democrats keep going at each other, Sanders will be the nominee.
00:17:49.000And instead, they launch like the softest attacks ever.
00:17:52.000The only person on the stage, again, credit to Mayor Pete for at least having enough political awareness to know where he's supposed to be at the right time, right?
00:18:09.000I mean, he knew where to be in sort of the Democratic lanes.
00:18:12.000He knew to go into Biden's lane and not into Sanders' lane, for example.
00:18:15.000And he knew last night that Sanders was the threat for the nomination, not Bloomberg.
00:18:19.000And so he tried to knock Sanders a little bit, but he did so with, like, the dumbest possible stuff.
00:18:25.000Like, instead of just bashing Sanders over and over on being a communist, instead, he decided to attack him for being mean, which is the wimpiest thing ever.
00:18:32.000The weakest attack on Bernie Sanders is that the Bernie bros are mean.
00:18:49.000He wanted to make it that Sanders was responsible for all of his supporters, which of course is a losing proposition.
00:18:55.000We have over 10.6 million people on Twitter, and 99.9% of them are decent human beings, are working people, are people who believe in justice, compassion, and love.
00:19:13.000And if there are a few people who make ugly remarks, who attack trade union leaders, I disown those people.
00:20:17.000Mayor Buttigieg really has a slogan that was thought up by his consultants to paper over a thin version of a plan that would leave millions of people unable to afford their health care.
00:20:41.000Bernie has started very much, uh, has a good start.
00:20:47.000But instead of expanding and bringing in more people to help, uh, instead his campaign relentlessly attacks everyone who asks a question or tries to fill in details about how to actually make this work.
00:21:01.000And then his own advisors say, eh, probably won't happen anyway.
00:21:07.000Okay, everything she's saying is basically true, but it is hilarious to say.
00:21:10.000Bernie attacks everyone, and she's literally attacking every single person on the stage.
00:21:15.000Every single person, like one by one, then you get the cutaways of them.
00:21:17.000Mayor Pete going, and Amy Klobuchar going, and Bernie Sanders going.
00:21:25.000So as I say, all of this is ancillary to the main point, which is that everybody was attacking Bloomberg last night.
00:21:30.000And as I say, because Michael Bloomberg is not Donald Trump, and because he apologizes for everything in the first 45 minutes, it was a bad night for him.
00:21:37.000Michael Bloomberg talks about stop and frisk, and he talks about how embarrassed he is by one of the policies that brought down crime dramatically in his own city.
00:21:44.000Well, if I go back and look at my time in office, the one thing that I'm really worried about, embarrassed about, was how it turned out with Stop and Frisk.
00:22:01.000And this was the first 45 minutes of the debate.
00:22:03.000Again, as we'll get to, Bloomberg actually issued a statement after the debate saying, well, the first 45 minutes sucked, but then it was good.
00:24:05.000So Bloomberg does that apology, right?
00:24:07.000He does that little apology of a stop and frisk, and Elizabeth Warren is having none of it because she was just a hammer last night.
00:24:13.000All she was interested in was breaking things.
00:24:15.000Not in helping her campaign, not in going after the person who actually has all of her voting base, Bernie Sanders, but again, performing that Chris Christie, Marco Rubio ritual murder-suicide on stage, Elizabeth Warren, clip 15.
00:24:29.000When the mayor says that he apologized, listen very closely to the apology.
00:24:34.000The language he used is about stop and frisk.
00:24:50.000It targeted black and brown men from the beginning.
00:24:54.000And if you want to issue a real apology, then the apology has to start with the intent of the plan as it was put together and the willful ignorance Day by day by day of admitting what was happening even as people protested in your own street.
00:25:14.000Shutting out the sounds of people telling you how your own policy was breaking their lives.
00:25:25.000What Bloomberg should have done is he should have said, Senator Warren, you're a damn liar.
00:25:29.000If your suggestion is that Stop and Frisk was specifically designed to go after black and Hispanic men, you're going to have to explain why we saved so many black and Hispanic lives with Stop and Frisk policy.
00:25:37.000It was not designed to go after black and Hispanic men.
00:25:41.000I'm sorry, it's ridiculous on its face.
00:25:43.000Policies that are designed to go after black and Hispanic men are ones that are specifically designed to go after black and Hispanic men, not policies approved by the Supreme Court as aspects of the Fourth Amendment, when there's reasonable suspicion that a person is carrying a gun in violation of the law in New York City, for example.
00:25:58.000Bloomberg should have just called her a liar on stage.
00:26:07.000So here's Elizabeth Warren going after Bloomberg on his NDAs.
00:26:12.000Now I'll tell you what Bloomberg should have said.
00:26:14.000He had an excellent comeback available to him, but he didn't use it because instead he was pansying out because either he or his advisors believed that if he could just sort of weather the storm, all would be well.
00:26:24.000Which really does raise the question, why did this idiot bother to do the debate in the first place?
00:26:28.000If you're going to drop $300 million in ads, why do you need to be on stage?
00:26:32.000What if he just said, listen, I'm not getting in this clown car with these idiots.
00:26:53.000He's not on any of the ballots for two weeks.
00:26:55.000But instead, he decided to jump in early and he got clobbered for it.
00:26:58.000Here's Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg being just an absolute moron about defense of his own conduct, which again, let me explain something.
00:27:05.000There's nothing wrong with nondisclosure agreements.
00:27:07.000Nondisclosure agreements are a feature of every business.
00:27:09.000They're a feature of a business because when you run a large business with a lot of employees, With large amounts of gross money running through them.
00:27:16.000It turns out people sometimes have an incentive to spill information that they believe will benefit them after they leave your employee, which they are not entitled to, and or sue you for reasons that are unsubstantiated in order to get a settlement from you.
00:27:42.000And what he should have said is he should have said to Elizabeth Warren, and by the way, you'd know that if you'd ever run a business, you idiot.
00:27:47.000If you'd run a business, you would know that NDAs are a part of every agreement.
00:27:50.000And no, I'm not going to waive the requirements of NDAs so that a bunch of people who now more than ever are politically and financially driven to spill information about my company that either is taken out of context or damaging for the perusal of people like you.
00:28:03.000No, I'm not releasing people from NDAs.
00:28:06.000When you run a business, you can decide how you run a business.
00:28:09.000But no, I'm not going to pretend that everybody who makes an allegation against my business is telling the truth, because it's not true.
00:28:15.000Again, anyone who's ever run a business understands that when you are a business with a large amount of money flowing through you, this is now a big bag of cash that people sometimes see as a way of grabbing a little money.
00:28:26.000By violating an NDA, by threatening a lawsuit, by making allegations that are unsubstantiated, this stuff happens all the time.
00:28:32.000Why do you think places have HR departments?
00:28:34.000HR departments exist specifically for this.
00:28:37.000Bloomberg should have said, no one here has run a successful business or any business for that matter.
00:28:42.000So no, I'm not going to take advice on business from you, Elizabeth Warren, you useless lady.
00:28:48.000I'm not going to take any piece of advice on business from you.
00:28:51.000There's a reason I'm worth $60 billion and you are worth a closet full of Ann Taylor loft leftovers.
00:29:00.000That's what he should have said, but that's not what he says.
00:29:02.000Instead, he goes to, well, no, no, no.
00:29:05.000Just dumbassery of high order from Michael Bloomberg here.
00:29:08.000He has gotten some number of women, dozens, who knows, to sign non-disclosure agreements, both for sexual harassment and for gender discrimination in the workplace.
00:29:19.000So, Mr. Mayor, are you willing to release all of those women from those non-disclosure agreements so we can hear their side of the story?
00:29:28.000We have a very few non-disclosure agreements.
00:29:33.000None of them accused me of doing anything other than, maybe they didn't like the joke I told.
00:29:39.000And let me just, and let me point, there's agreements between two parties that wanted to keep it quiet, and that's up to them.
00:29:47.000They signed those agreements, and we'll live with it.
00:29:49.000So wait, when you say a deception, I just want to be clear.
00:29:56.000And when you say they signed them and they wanted them, if they wish now to speak out and tell their side of the story about what it is they allege, that's now okay with you?
00:30:08.000You're releasing them on television tonight?
00:30:13.000Senator, the company and somebody else, in this case a man or a woman or could be more than that, they decided when they made an agreement they wanted to keep it quiet for everybody's interest.
00:30:23.000I said we're not going to get to end these agreements because they were made consensually and they have every right to expect that they will stay private.
00:30:34.000Okay, he's getting openly booed about all of this.
00:30:36.000Again, his best answer here is, I run a business.
00:30:38.000You don't run a business, because you're stupid.
00:30:40.000Because you're a government service hack.
00:30:43.000Because you spent your entire life writing bullcrap about bankruptcy that's unsubstantiated.
00:30:49.000How about I handle my business and you handle your business, and I explain to you in very basic terms, using small words and short, complete sentences, what a non-disclosure agreement is.
00:30:59.000And you, everybody on this stage, all yous, who don't understand how business works, you shove it.
00:31:05.000That's exactly what he should have said, but of course he wouldn't say that.
00:31:07.000Instead, he goes to, well, no, they consented to the nondisclosure agreement, and so we're gonna hold to that.
00:31:12.000And so Elizabeth Warren asks the obvious follow-up question, okay, what if they want to get out of it now?
00:31:49.000Okay, so here's one of the problems with Pete Buttigieg.
00:31:51.000Pete Buttigieg is more produced than Taylor Swift, right?
00:31:53.000Everything about Pete Buttigieg is produced.
00:31:54.000From all of his stories about like, oh, I learned Norwegian in order to read a novel, to here I am, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a small town, but really a microcosm of America.
00:32:06.000You know, things like South Bend, Indiana, I'm sure it's pleasant.
00:32:09.000South Bend, Indiana has about as many members as my synagogue.
00:32:13.000Like, there are 100,000 members of South Bend, Indiana.
00:32:52.000People make mental flubs all the time.
00:32:54.000Also, easy answer to this question, if you don't know the name of a president of a foreign country, You are vying to be President of the United States.
00:33:07.000Okay, that's a perfectly fine answer and an acceptable answer.
00:33:10.000You don't know something about, like, the President of Botswana?
00:33:13.000And you're like, yeah, I don't know his name, that's why I have a State Department.
00:33:16.000When we get together, I'm sure I'll know his name and we'll have good conversations.
00:33:19.000Okay, but Pete Buttigieg decides to go after Amy Klobuchar as though she's stupid, and Amy Klobuchar is having none of it, and she basically picks up the podium and hits him with it.
00:33:26.000But you're staking your candidacy on your Washington experience.
00:33:30.000You're on the committee that oversees border security.
00:33:33.000You're on the committee that does trade.
00:33:35.000You're literally part of the committee that's overseeing these things.
00:33:40.000And we're not able to speak to literally the first thing about the politics of the country to ourselves.
00:34:51.000Of all the winners last night, Donald Trump was one.
00:34:54.000The other, presumably, was Marianne Williamson, who may still be the nominee, depending on if people turn their hearts to light and away from darkness.
00:35:01.000But we'll get to all of this in just one second.
00:35:03.000First, let's talk about one of the ways that you get healthier, and that is you gotta change your habits.
00:35:10.000But the fact is, unless you are willing to change how you think about workout and diet, unless you're willing to change the habits that shape how you act, None of it's going to matter.

00:37:02.000So in this debate, eventually it began to dawn on Michael Bloomberg that he was going to have to actually defend himself.
00:37:13.000That it was not good for him to be lying flat out in a spread eagle waiting to be attacked and fed upon by the harpies of the Democratic Party.
00:37:20.000So this began, I think, when he started to realize that Bernie Sanders is actually a danger.
00:37:26.000So one of the things that Bernie said in the middle of this debate, which we'll lose in Pennsylvania, is he said he wants a full-on ban on fracking.
00:37:37.000I mean, when you talk fracking in Pennsylvania, not only are you talking about an excellent industry that has actually lowered carbon emissions, the substitution of natural gas via fracking for oil in the United States means that we are the world's number one decreaser of carbon emissions over the past several years.
00:37:53.000It also provides tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of jobs in places like Pennsylvania.
00:37:58.000Here is Bernie Sanders openly announcing that he's going to ban fracking nationwide.
00:38:02.000Good luck winning swing states with this.
00:38:04.000You want a total ban on natural gas extraction.
00:38:10.000It's supporting a big industry right now, sir.
00:38:13.000What I tell these workers is that the scientists are telling us that if we don't act incredibly boldly within the next six, seven years, there will be irreparable damage done, not just to Nevada, not just to Vermont or Massachusetts, but to the entire world.
00:39:06.000That doesn't mean that you have to start a business to be a great politician.
00:39:09.000It does mean that if you've never had any experience with a business, but you're telling every business owner in America you know what's best for the economy and your business, maybe you should shut up a little bit.
00:39:19.000And Bloomberg eventually was not having it directly from Sanders.
00:39:22.000So Sanders goes after Bloomberg and suggests that Bloomberg is responsible for corrupt politics in America.
00:39:26.000And Bloomberg's like, dude, you've been in the Senate since 1637.
00:39:30.000Here's Bloomberg going right back at Sanders.
00:39:33.000You know, when we talk about a corrupt political system bought by billionaires like Mr. Bloomberg, It manifests itself in a tax code in which not only is Amazon and many other major corporations, some owned by the wealthiest people in this country not paying a nickel in taxes, we have the insane situation that billionaires today, if you can believe it, have an effective we have the insane situation that billionaires today, if you can believe it, have an effective tax
00:40:37.000Here is Sanders doing the... Michael Bloomberg didn't earn his money.
00:40:40.000It was all the workers at Bloomberg who earned the money through their not investing in any of the equipment, taking any of the risk, and earning a pretty generous salary from Bloomberg, who did pay quite well as the employer over at Bloomberg.
00:40:53.000Okay, but here is Sanders going after Bloomberg and suggesting that Sanders is greedy because, of course, Sanders is saying that Bloomberg is greedy because Bloomberg has money.
00:41:01.000Mr. Bloomberg, it wasn't you who made all that money.
00:41:04.000Maybe your workers played some role in that as well.
00:41:07.000And it is important that those workers are able to share the benefits.
00:41:11.000Also, when we have so many people who go to work every day, and they feel not good about their jobs.
00:44:41.000And I promise you that if the Democrats think that's going away, Donald Trump will go to Bernie Sanders' lake house, he will pry up a board from the floorboards, he will bring it to a debate, and he will beat Bernie to death with it, figuratively speaking.
00:44:54.000If you think that that's the last time Bernie's heard about the lake house, you got a lot of things wrong about modern American politics, my friend.
00:45:00.000Because Bernie deserves every bit of that.
00:46:19.000President Trump is obviously the big winner in all of this.
00:46:21.000President Trump Trump World issued a statement with Kayleigh McEnany issuing this statement.
00:46:29.000The Democratic Party is in the midst of a full-scale meltdown.
00:46:31.000Americans are watching the party of JFK be torn apart by anti-job socialists and anti-worker globalists who want to control every aspect of Americans' lives.
00:46:38.000This train wreck is nothing compared to what they would do to our country.
00:46:41.000None of these candidates will be able to go toe-to-toe with President Trump in November.
00:47:57.000The only downside is we're gonna get an old commie as the head of the Democratic Party, so good luck to, good luck to all of us, each and every one, Donny Dem.
00:48:03.000Okay, time for a quick thing that I like, and then we'll do a quick thing that I hate.
00:48:17.000There's a movie that was reviewed poorly because people don't like basic patriotic American movies anymore and you're not allowed to make them.
00:48:23.000I mentioned this about Air Force One the other day that if Air Force One were made today, people would be saying, jingoistic, terrible.
00:48:29.000Now, if you made it during a Democrat administration, then it would be wonderful.
00:48:33.000Reminding us what makes America great.
00:48:35.000Okay, well, another one of these movies that was recently made was a movie called Midway.
00:48:39.000Roland Emmerich, who did Independence Day, did it.
00:48:43.000Okay, it's not just enjoyable, it's historically accurate.
00:48:46.000It basically is about the Battle of Midway, but it basically takes you from Pearl Harbor all the way forward to the Battle of Midway, tracing a bunch of the key figures.
00:48:54.000And it is history, fact-filled, Well shot, well acted.
00:49:40.000And by the way, it is true that if the United States loses the Battle of the Midway, very good shot the United States does not actually win World War II, and that at least the west coast of the United States is under direct attack.
00:49:50.000So, people forget about Battle of the Midway, they remember Iwo Jima because of the famous imagery, they remember all the battles in Europe.
00:49:55.000The Battle of the Midway, because it's a naval battle, doesn't get the kind of attention that it should.
00:50:28.000I was married in Israel and California.
00:50:31.000And I've lived my entire life in California.
00:50:34.000Really, except for three years where I was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hanging out with the Elizabeth Warren group.
00:50:39.000Except for that, I've been in California my entire life, and it is getting progressively worse.
00:50:43.000And I use the word progressively advisedly, because the more progressive it grows, the dumber it grows.
00:50:48.000So we decided we were going to elect an idiot Kendal as the governor of the state of California.
00:50:55.000This Kendal said he was going to solve homelessness in San Francisco and completely failed to do so, instead helping turn San Francisco into a poop-filled needle mess.
00:51:04.000And then we were like, oh, let's make him governor.
00:51:06.000And he has presidential aspirations, does Gavin Newsom.
00:51:09.000So Gavin Newsom gave his State of the State address the other day.
00:51:12.000And in his State of the State address, he addressed the fact that California has become the world's leading center of homelessness, or at least the America's leading center of homelessness.
00:51:20.000We have, by the way, something like 65,000 homeless people counted in Los Angeles County alone.
00:51:24.000Like Dodger Stadium worth of homeless people in LA County.
00:51:27.000You cannot walk down the street, any street in Los Angeles, without people.
00:51:32.000engaging in public urination or defecation or needle use.
00:51:36.000I believe it was Herbert Hoover who promised a chicken in every pot.
00:51:40.000In L.A., they promised a homeless person on every bench.
00:51:44.000Their great solution was that they were going to put bars on the benches, like in the middle of the bench, that homeless people can't actually lie across the benches.
00:51:49.000And it turns out that human beings being adaptable, homeless people have been just throwing blankets over those bars and then just sleeping right over them.
00:51:56.000So it's a wonderful city and we pay exorbitant taxes.
00:51:59.000And California as a state, we pay unbelievably high taxes, the highest tax rates in the nation, 13.3 top income tax bracket, and it kicks in at like, I think $100,000 a year or something.
00:52:27.000It's a disgrace that the richest state in the richest nation succeeding across so many sectors is falling so far behind to properly house, heal, and humanely treat so many of its own people.
00:52:42.000Every day, the California dream is dimmed by the wrenching reality of families, children, and seniors living unfed on a concrete bed.
00:52:52.000Okay, well, you know who's responsible for that?
00:52:55.000That would be like you and the Democrats who have run Sacramento virtually my entire adult lifetime.
00:53:00.000And you may have something to do with that, do you not?
00:53:03.000So what proposals did Gavin Newsom bring to the table on homelessness?
00:53:06.000Well, as a Ken doll, there's not a lot between the ears.
00:53:08.000So Gavin Newsom brought a few proposals.
00:53:41.000If I declare that you have a right to housing, that does not make the housing appear.
00:53:44.000Or is Gavin Newsom saying that if you have a legal right to housing, you can now sue the state to provide you the housing, which means that the state will be forced to raise taxes to build the housing.
00:53:52.000Or does it mean that the state can force developers to rent out their properties at rates that are non-beneficial, lowering development, causing increased taxes, causing increased spending on garbage public housing, which will promptly be wrecked by homeless people because a lot of those homeless people, in order to clean out, would actually need to abide by certain restrictions, but you can't have those restrictions because you have a legal right to housing.
00:54:13.000But here is Gavin Newsom doing the idiotic thing because welcome to California.
00:54:18.000In order to get the job done, we've got to match this new money with a new legal obligation to address the crisis head on.
00:54:27.000Requiring that any new funding isn't replacing existing spending, but creating new solutions.
00:54:35.000Some have recommended a legal right to shelter.
00:54:39.000I know it's a provocative idea, which has forced this state to explore the limits of what local governments can be compelled to do.
00:54:46.000But right now, our imperative, I believe, must be about bringing governments together as working partners, not sparring partners in a court of law.
00:54:55.000So, um, if you give everybody a legal right to shelter, that you're making everybody sparring partners in a court of law.
00:56:11.000Okay, but the good news is that Gavin Newsom says that what has really helped Californians is that we are now providing tax-free tampons and diapers.
00:56:18.000This is what's helping Californians save money.
00:56:19.000So we've really, we've really fixed all the problems, guys.
00:56:22.000Now, obviously, the answer to a lot of the homelessness problems in the state of California is to lower taxes, increase investment, increase investment in development, Release people from rent control and criminalize people who are trespassing or engaging in public drug use, public defecation.
00:56:37.000Make sure that people either are forced into mandatory drug rehab or that they are treated in ways that they need to be treated.
00:56:43.000If they're mentally ill, they get the drugs that they need, right?
00:56:46.000But he's not going to do any of that stuff.
00:56:47.000Instead, he's just going to talk about how, yeah, sure, we've got hundreds of thousands of homeless people across the state of California.
00:56:52.000What if we declared a legal right or put it on doctors?
00:56:56.000A working parent with more money in her pocket thanks to expanded paid family leave, a thousand dollar family tax credit, and lower costs due to tax-free diapers and tampons.
00:57:15.000Sure, open needles on the streets, poop on the corner, walking by that stuff with your kids in residential areas, but those diapers are tax-free, guys.
00:57:33.000Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with a couple additional hours of content.
00:57:36.000Otherwise, we'll see you here tomorrow for all of the recap, all of the follow-up, as Bernie Sanders charges headlong across the nation's Democratic primaries, taking a break every so often in his Stalin-esque dacha.
00:58:27.000Hey everybody, it's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show.
00:58:30.000You know, some people are depressed because the American Republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching, and the moon has turned to blood.
00:58:36.000But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started.
