The Ben Shapiro Show - FINALLY: The Bloodiest Democratic Debate Ever | Ep. 957

00:00:00.000 It's the most exciting episode of The Ben Shapiro Show ever.

00:00:03.000 The Democrats finally ditch the faux friendship and go for the jugular with Michael Bloomberg squarely in their crosshairs.

00:00:08.000 Bernie Sanders finally has to answer a question about his leg coat.

00:00:12.000 And Klobuchar and Buttigieg can't stop their slap fight.

00:00:14.000 So much fun.

00:00:15.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:15.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:28.000 Well, wasn't that fun?

00:00:30.000 Alright, I don't know what everybody's waiting months for.

00:00:32.000 For months, these people were hugging each other.

00:00:33.000 It was a kumbaya circle.

00:00:35.000 We were waiting for everybody to attack each other.

00:00:36.000 And then, last night, finally it all broke loose.

00:00:38.000 It 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.

00:00:45.000 It turns out they hate each other's guts.

00:00:46.000 And if they had the ability to, they would actually carve out the small intestines of their enemies and feed them to the seagulls.

00:00:53.000 That's what was happening last night on that Democratic debate stage.

00:00:56.000 And it was glorious and it was fun. 1.00

00:00:58.000 It was also unbelievably stupid. 1.00

00:00:59.000 The reason it was unbelievably stupid is because Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner. 1.00

00:01:02.000 So naturally, all the other Democrats, being complete, utter effing morons, decide, let's go after Michael Bloomberg. 1.00

00:01:08.000 Genius idea, guys. 1.00

00:01:09.000 Genius idea.

00:01:10.000 So Bernie is going to sweep the primaries.

00:01:13.000 I'm predicting it right here, right now.

00:01:15.000 I will be shocked if anyone wins two other primaries.

00:01:19.000 I think Bernie is now going to sweep to the nomination.

00:01:20.000 I think Bernie wins Nevada.

00:01:21.000 I think Bernie wins South Carolina.

00:01:23.000 I think Bernie wins California.

00:01:24.000 I think Bernie wins Texas.

00:01:25.000 I think Bernie wins pretty much everything.

00:01:27.000 I think Bernie is not only the clear frontrunner, I think he is the presumptive Democratic nominee with a majority of the delegates.

00:01:32.000 I do not think this goes to an open convention. 1.00

00:01:34.000 The reason for that It's because all the other Democrats are complete and utter idiots. 1.00

00:01:38.000 They refuse to attack Bernie Sanders. 1.00

00:01:41.000 Instead, they train their fire on Michael Bloomberg, for some odd reason, who has yet to win a vote. 0.87

00:01:46.000 And also, you're attacking the guy in the wrong lane, you dolts! 1.00

00:01:50.000 Particularly Elizabeth Warren.

00:01:51.000 So everybody's giving plaudits to Elizabeth Warren today.

00:01:53.000 Ooh, Elizabeth Warren.

00:01:54.000 So, let me just remind you.

00:01:55.000 Yesterday, what did I say would happen with Elizabeth Warren?

00:01:58.000 I suggested that Elizabeth Warren would be, this year's, performer of the presidential campaign ceremonial Chris Christie, Marco Rubio murder suicide. 1.00

00:02:08.000 Right.

00:02:09.000 That's what happened in 2016.

00:02:10.000 Chris Christie was basically out of the race.

00:02:12.000 He needed to dwell in New Hampshire.

00:02:13.000 Marco Rubio was rising.

00:02:14.000 Donald Trump was sitting above the field.

00:02:16.000 And Chris Christie, instead of going after Trump, who was in his lane, decided, I'm going to go after Marco Rubio.

00:02:21.000 So he murdered Marco Rubio on stage and then promptly committed harikari himself. 0.63

00:02:24.000 And And both of them were out of the race, but Rubio stayed in and split the vote with Cruz, and so Trump sails to the nomination. 1.00

00:02:30.000 Last night, Elizabeth Warren attacked the person in the wrong lane like the idiot she is. 1.00

00:02:34.000 Instead of going after Bernie, whose voters she needs to win over, she decided, what if I attack Michael Bloomberg? 1.00

00:02:39.000 What if I just go after Bloomberg for no reason?

00:02:41.000 He's in the other lane.

00:02:43.000 Now, 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?

00:02:55.000 Elizabeth 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. 0.64

00:03:02.000 And her choice was basically rooted in, who do I think is a more durable candidate?

00:03:06.000 Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden?

00:03:08.000 And she chose Joe Biden.

00:03:09.000 She said Biden is a more durable candidate.

00:03:11.000 He's going to suck up all the attention in the moderate lane. 0.97

00:03:13.000 Bernie is a non-durable candidate. 0.95

00:03:15.000 And so I will go into his lane and I will take away his support.

00:03:17.000 And for a little while that worked.

00:03:19.000 And then she started to fade.

00:03:20.000 And it turns out that Bernie was much more durable than Biden and Biden fell apart.

00:03:23.000 And 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.

00:03:33.000 So Elizabeth Warren made the wrong call.

00:03:35.000 Now it's too late for her, but it's not too late for her to scalp somebody.

00:03:38.000 in her preferred fashion.

00:03:39.000 So she decided to go after Michael Bloomberg last night.

00:03:42.000 That was amusing.

00:03:42.000 It was amusing to watch as Michael Bloomberg, after a really horrible 45 minutes on stage, I mean, his campaign basically admitted.

00:03:49.000 The first 45 minutes, he was a bleep show.

00:03:51.000 Bloomberg, after the first 45 minutes, went after Bernie.

00:03:54.000 Bernie was Bernie and had no answers to any tough questions, as always.

00:03:59.000 It is the main theme.

00:04:01.000 There's so many themes of the show.

00:04:02.000 I mean, I will say my personal favorite part was the was the tête-à-tête between Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg.

00:04:08.000 Klobuchar, for good reason, cannot stand Pete Buttigieg and shoved him face first into a wood chipper last night and it was glorious.

00:04:14.000 But 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.

00:04:23.000 And Bernie Sanders was an excellent example of that last night.

00:04:26.000 People 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.

00:04:35.000 And Bernie gets hit with, like, the most obvious attack ever, and he has no response.

00:04:39.000 Why?

00:04:39.000 Because nobody in the media has ever asked Bernie obvious questions.

00:04:42.000 Nobody in the media had asked Elizabeth Warren obvious questions.

00:04:47.000 Or Klobuchar.

00:04:47.000 Or Buttigieg.

00:04:48.000 So last night, all the knives came out.

00:04:50.000 And it basically was, knives out.

00:04:52.000 Except there wasn't the daughter of an illegal immigrant to walk away with the fortune. 0.84

00:04:56.000 It was just, it was wonderful.

00:04:57.000 And we're gonna get into all of it.

00:04:59.000 Every glorious, vitally bloody detail.

00:05:02.000 We're gonna get into all of it.

00:05:03.000 Just one second.

00:05:04.000 But first, let's talk about the necessity for the Second Amendment.

00:05:06.000 So, 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.

00:05:15.000 Everybody on the stage last night is a gun grabber.

00:05:17.000 All of them.

00:05:18.000 And this is why I'm a supporter of the Second Amendment.

00:05:21.000 Yes, the Second Amendment exists to protect not only your gun rights, but protect you against a government that would violate your gun rights, right?

00:05:27.000 The right to bear arms protects you against violation of your rights, including the right to bear arms.

00:05:32.000 Owning a rifle is an awesome responsibility.

00:05:34.000 Building a rifle is no different.

00:05:35.000 Started in a garage by a Marine veteran more than two decades ago, Bravo Company Manufacturing builds a professional-grade product built to combat standards.

00:05:42.000 This 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.

00:05:50.000 Bravo Company Manufacturing is not a sporting arms company.

00:05:53.000 They 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.

00:06:07.000 The folks at BCM are wonderful.

00:06:09.000 Their product is wonderful.

00:06:11.000 Learn more about Bravo Company Manufacturing.

00:06:15.000 You can discover more about their products, special offers, upcoming news.

00:06:17.000 They've got everything from parts that you need, Okay, so let's jump right in.

00:06:21.000 Let's put this off, no longer.

00:06:23.000 So, the first 10 minutes of this debate were basically, let's line up Michael Bloomberg and just shoot him.

00:06:26.000 That's what happened.

00:06:27.000 YouTube 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.

00:06:54.000 He opened it up with the typical Democratic attacks on Stop and Frisk.

00:06:57.000 Now, the biggest problem for Michael Bloomberg is that he is not Donald Trump.

00:07:01.000 The 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.

00:07:09.000 The 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.

00:07:17.000 Donald Trump For better and for worse.

00:07:20.000 Many times for worse, but often for better.

00:07:22.000 He's utterly unapologetic about who he is.

00:07:24.000 Utterly unapologetic about who he is.

00:07:27.000 Bloomberg 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.

00:07:34.000 He could have just stood up to the attack.

00:07:36.000 And 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. 0.99

00:07:51.000 But 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. 0.99

00:07:57.000 So 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. 1.00

00:08:05.000 He's just the absolute worst. 0.77

00:08:06.000 So Bernie opens this thing up by attacking Michael Bloomberg, and he attacks him over stop and frisk.

00:08:12.000 In order to beat Donald Trump, we're going to need the largest voter turnout in the history of the United States.

00:08:20.000 Mr. Bloomberg had policies in New York City of stop and frisk, which went after African American and Latino people in an outrageous way.

00:08:29.000 That is not a way you're going to grow voter turnout.

00:08:32.000 Okay, so this was an attack that was, he was hit on this several times about stop-and-frisk.

00:08:36.000 His actual response on stop-and-frisk, you'll see later, he tries to apologize for his stop-and-frisk position.

00:08:42.000 He's been trying this all along.

00:08:44.000 His actual answer on stop-and-frisk should not be to apologize for his record.

00:08:47.000 It should be, we lowered the murder rate.

00:08:49.000 The beneficiaries of the lowered murder rate were largely young African-American and Hispanic males in New York City.

00:08:56.000 We did something that is legal and approved by the Supreme Court of the United States.

00:09:00.000 None of you have saved as many Black and Hispanic lives as my policies did, so you can shove it. 1.00

00:09:03.000 I mean, that should have been his policy all along, right?

00:09:07.000 Because let's be real about this.

00:09:08.000 He is very popular in New York City with Black and Hispanic voters, Michael Bloomberg.

00:09:11.000 He didn't have to kowtow to all this nonsense, but he did, and so he looked bad.

00:09:16.000 Bloomberg, 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. 0.66

00:09:25.000 I don't think there's any chance of the Senator beating President Trump.

00:09:29.000 You don't start out by saying, I've got 160 million people.

00:09:34.000 I'm going to take away the insurance plan that they love.

00:09:37.000 That's just not a ways that you go and start building the coalition with the Sanders.

00:09:43.000 Camp thinks that they can do.

00:09:45.000 I don't think there's any chance whatsoever.

00:09:48.000 And if he goes and is the candidate, we will have Donald Trump for another four years, and we can't stand that.

00:09:56.000 So he's saying that out loud.

00:09:57.000 You 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. 1.00

00:10:05.000 And so she was, like, ready for this, right?

00:10:07.000 This was her moment.

00:10:08.000 And this is the moment she was getting plaudits for?

00:10:10.000 She'll get plaudits all the way until she's not in the race three weeks from now. 1.00

00:10:12.000 Okay, because let's face this.

00:10:13.000 Elizabeth Warren is toast.

00:10:14.000 She's done.

00:10:15.000 She has no upside here.

00:10:16.000 Everybody's like, oh, Elizabeth Warren.

00:10:18.000 She finally, finally we saw the Elizabeth Warren we've always wanted. 1.00

00:10:21.000 She was the leader in this race four months ago, you idiots. 1.00

00:10:24.000 And she faded because she's terrible. 1.00

00:10:26.000 So last night she got aggressive with Bloomberg and the left likes that.

00:10:29.000 So now she's a heroine again.

00:10:30.000 But they ain't going to vote for her instead of Bernie.

00:10:32.000 And 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.

00:10:38.000 Dead man though he is, actual human corpse.

00:10:41.000 Okay, so here is the much-ballyhooed line in which Elizabeth Warren killed Michael Bloomberg.

00:10:46.000 I 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.

00:10:53.000 Here is Elizabeth Warren going after Michael Bloomberg. 0.52

00:10:56.000 I will tell you how Donald Trump would have responded to this, because Donald Trump responded to this exact same accusation.

00:11:01.000 Okay, and then we'll see what Michael Bloomberg did.

00:11:04.000 I'd like to talk about who we're running against. 0.99

00:11:06.000 A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians. 1.00

00:11:12.000 And no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump. 0.99

00:11:14.000 I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg.

00:11:16.000 Democrats are not going to win.

00:11:20.000 If 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.

00:11:33.000 Look, I'll support whoever the Democratic nominee is, but understand this. 0.93

00:11:38.000 Democrats take a huge risk if we just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another.

00:11:44.000 OK, so his response to all this was, well, I was, you know, I told a few jokes back in the day. 0.66

00:11:48.000 I told a few jokes back.

00:11:50.000 That's not the way this works.

00:11:51.000 So Donald Trump was asked basically the exact same question by Megyn Kelly in a Republican debate.

00:11:55.000 Remember this?

00:11:56.000 No, you've insulted women. 1.00

00:11:58.000 You've said all these terrible things about women.

00:11:59.000 And Trump went, only Rosie.

00:12:01.000 Only Rosie O'Donnell. 0.90

00:12:02.000 And even people who didn't like Trump are like, OK, that bleeps hilarious.

00:12:06.000 Sorry, that's really, really funny. 0.98

00:12:09.000 So what if Michael Bloomberg had come back and Elizabeth Warren said, first of all, Elizabeth Warren, you're a liar. 1.00

00:12:13.000 You're lying about my record, just like you've lied about your own biography. 0.95

00:12:16.000 You know, you've just labeled me a racist and a sexist.

00:12:19.000 But you say that you'll support any Democrat, including me.

00:12:21.000 So which is it?

00:12:22.000 So you'll support a racist and a sexist?

00:12:24.000 So, is that really what you think of me, or are you just lying for political gain?

00:12:28.000 Also, you know, you're going to talk about me saying things about women and all of this sort of stuff?

00:12:33.000 I would love to see everything that you've ever said.

00:12:35.000 I'm sure that you've said nasty things about people.

00:12:37.000 There are things I've said that I regret, but are we really going to run this race on tut-tutting people like school marms? 0.86

00:12:43.000 Right.

00:12:43.000 The 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.

00:12:48.000 Instead, Bloomberg played dead every time he was attacked.

00:12:51.000 And you saw this over and over and over.

00:12:54.000 Right.

00:12:54.000 And Klobuchar did the same thing.

00:12:55.000 She 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.

00:13:01.000 By the way, he's exactly right about this.

00:13:02.000 Klobuchar has no national aspirations.

00:13:04.000 She's done.

00:13:04.000 Buttigieg has no national aspirations.

00:13:06.000 He is done.

00:13:07.000 Biden is going to be finished by South Carolina.

00:13:09.000 Everybody was ripping on him yesterday about this memo that went out from his campaign.

00:13:12.000 And the memo basically said Bernie's going to win the nomination unless there is a consolidation around an anti-Bernie candidate.

00:13:17.000 There's only one anti-Bernie candidate with any momentum and any money.

00:13:20.000 And that's Bloomberg.

00:13:22.000 And he is right.

00:13:23.000 So Amy Klobuchar got very, very angry about all this.

00:13:25.000 We don't even have to play her. 1.00

00:13:26.000 But that attack is really dumb. 0.99

00:13:28.000 She finished her statement. 0.99

00:13:30.000 She said, I don't think you look at Donald Trump and say we need someone richer in the White House.

00:13:33.000 Why?

00:13:35.000 Why?

00:13:35.000 Like seriously, I don't understand why that's an attack.

00:13:37.000 Why is being rich an attack?

00:13:40.000 It seems to me that we've had a fair number of very wealthy presidents in the past who Democrats like.

00:13:44.000 Like, FDR was not a poverty-stricken individual. 0.99

00:13:47.000 I have a feeling that Democrats are just full of crap about all of this. 0.91

00:13:49.000 Okay, finally, Bloomberg gets to make the case for why he ought to be president, and his take is basically that he is a manager. 0.98

00:13:58.000 Not that he has a vision, but that he is a manager.

00:14:00.000 No, this is not a bad take.

00:14:02.000 It's not a particularly bad take, but it then leads into more attacks on him.

00:14:05.000 So here is Bloomberg defending the reason why he should be president.

00:14:09.000 I'm a New Yorker. 0.98

00:14:10.000 I know how to take on an arrogant conman like Donald Trump that comes from New York. 0.99

00:14:17.000 I'm a mayor. 0.99

00:14:18.000 I was a mayor.

00:14:19.000 I know how to run a complicated city, the biggest, most diverse city in this country.

00:14:25.000 I'm a manager.

00:14:26.000 I knew what to do after 9-11 and brought the city back stronger than ever.

00:14:31.000 And I'm a philanthropist who didn't inherit his money, but made his money.

00:14:36.000 And I'm spending that money to get rid of Donald Trump, the worst president we have ever had.

00:14:43.000 And if I can get that done, it will be a great contribution to America and to my kids.

00:14:47.000 So 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.

00:14:53.000 Pete Buttigieg tried to edge his way into all of this by posing himself as the alternative to both Sanders and Bloomberg, right?

00:15:00.000 He's trying to take that Biden slot.

00:15:02.000 And he says, those two guys, they're really polarizing this Clip 7.

00:15:04.000 He says, these two guys are super polarizing, but I, I am not polarizing.

00:15:07.000 I am the unity candidate.

00:15:09.000 Now, as we will see, Amy Klobuchar later on in this debate, she's finally had enough of Mayor Pete and she just breaks him. 0.98

00:15:14.000 I mean, she just breaks him.

00:15:15.000 She just takes out an Easton baseball bat and goes to work on him.

00:15:19.000 My favorite portion of the debate by far.

00:15:21.000 Anyway, here is Pete Buttigieg trying to make the case that the two most polarizing figures in the party are Bloomberg and Sanders.

00:15:26.000 Again, he's not wrong.

00:15:28.000 The theme of this show, everybody is right about each other and wrong about themselves.

00:15:32.000 Here is Pete Buttigieg.

00:15:34.000 We 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.

00:15:47.000 And 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.

00:15:59.000 Okay, he botches the line right there, but it's actually not a bad line from Buttigieg.

00:16:03.000 As we'll see, however, this did not last.

00:16:05.000 This charmed moment for Buttigieg that starts at the very beginning.

00:16:08.000 Yeah, Amy Klobuchar took out a comb, sharpened it, and just went right for the jugular. 1.00

00:16:11.000 We're going to get to more of this in just one second.

00:16:13.000 This glorious debacle in the Democratic debate last night.

00:16:16.000 We'll get to that in one second.

00:16:18.000 Are you feeling a little unsafe after watching that debate?

00:16:21.000 I 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.

00:16:36.000 Breaking and entering has become a problem.

00:16:38.000 This is why you need Ring.

00:16:39.000 Ring's mission is to make neighborhoods safer.

00:17:22.000 Ring.com.

00:17:24.000 Okay, so the stage has now been set.

00:17:28.000 As I say, what all the candidates last night should have been doing was attacking Sanders, not Bloomberg, because Sanders is the frontrunner.

00:17:35.000 Lest we forget, Sanders is leading by 10 points in the national polling.

00:17:38.000 He is leading in Nevada.

00:17:39.000 He is now even in South Carolina.

00:17:40.000 He is leading in California.

00:17:41.000 He is leading in Texas.

00:17:43.000 Sanders is your leader in the clubhouse right now.

00:17:46.000 And if Democrats keep going at each other, Sanders will be the nominee.

00:17:49.000 And instead, they launch like the softest attacks ever.

00:17:52.000 The 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?

00:18:00.000 Mayor Pete can't dunk politically.

00:18:03.000 Like, he does not have the capacity to dunk, but he knows where to be to get the rebound.

00:18:08.000 And that's smart, right?

00:18:09.000 I mean, he knew where to be in sort of the Democratic lanes.

00:18:12.000 He knew to go into Biden's lane and not into Sanders' lane, for example.

00:18:15.000 And he knew last night that Sanders was the threat for the nomination, not Bloomberg. 0.96

00:18:19.000 And so he tried to knock Sanders a little bit, but he did so with, like, the dumbest possible stuff. 0.95

00:18:25.000 Like, 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. 0.98

00:18:32.000 The weakest attack on Bernie Sanders is that the Bernie bros are mean.

00:18:35.000 That sort of stuff is just weak-tea.

00:18:36.000 It really is. 1.00

00:18:37.000 Because it turns out that when you have lots and lots of followers, like Bernie Sanders does, some of those people are going to be jerks. 0.99

00:18:41.000 Okay, so Buttigieg tried this anyway. 0.99

00:18:43.000 This is clip 10.

00:18:45.000 So Sanders was asked about, why are your supporters so mean?

00:18:48.000 And Buttigieg wouldn't let this go.

00:18:49.000 He wanted to make it that Sanders was responsible for all of his supporters, which of course is a losing proposition.

00:18:55.000 We 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.

00:19:13.000 And if there are a few people who make ugly remarks, who attack trade union leaders, I disown those people.

00:19:21.000 They are not part of our movement.

00:19:24.000 Senator, when you say that you disown these attacks and you didn't personally direct them, I believe you.

00:19:29.000 But at a certain point, you've got to ask yourself, why did this pattern arise?

00:19:34.000 Why is it especially the case among your supporters?

00:19:37.000 I don't think it is especially.

00:19:38.000 Okay, so again, this is just weak-kneed stuff from Mayor Pete.

00:19:41.000 Eventually, Amy Klobuchar tired of this. 1.00

00:19:43.000 I keep pitching this because it was fan-freaking-tastic.

00:19:46.000 I mean, when she went after him, it was great, and we're gonna get to that shortly.

00:19:49.000 And then Warren, again, jumping into the fray.

00:19:51.000 So Warren jumped in.

00:19:51.000 She was basically like Leonardo DiCaprio with the flamethrower in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, just spraying fire everywhere.

00:19:58.000 For no apparent reason, by the way.

00:19:59.000 I mean, really, she's out of the race. 0.93

00:20:01.000 But she's just going after everybody. 1.00

00:20:03.000 She decides to go after Buttigieg and Klobuchar and Bernie.

00:20:07.000 On healthcare.

00:20:08.000 Even though her healthcare plan is the most unpopular one of all because she actually spelled out what she meant.

00:20:12.000 And what she meant was absolute nonsense.

00:20:14.000 Here she was attacking everybody. 0.99

00:20:17.000 Mayor 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.

00:20:32.000 It's not a plan, it's a PowerPoint.

00:20:35.000 And Amy's plan is even less.

00:20:37.000 It's like a post-it note.

00:20:38.000 Insert plan here.

00:20:41.000 Bernie has started very much, uh, has a good start.

00:20:47.000 But 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.

00:21:01.000 And then his own advisors say, eh, probably won't happen anyway.

00:21:07.000 Okay, everything she's saying is basically true, but it is hilarious to say.

00:21:10.000 Bernie attacks everyone, and she's literally attacking every single person on the stage. 1.00

00:21:15.000 Every single person, like one by one, then you get the cutaways of them.

00:21:17.000 Mayor Pete going, and Amy Klobuchar going, and Bernie Sanders going.

00:21:23.000 Just fantastic, fantastic stuff.

00:21:25.000 So as I say, all of this is ancillary to the main point, which is that everybody was attacking Bloomberg last night.

00:21:30.000 And 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.

00:21:35.000 Here is a perfect example of that.

00:21:37.000 Clip 13.

00:21:37.000 Michael 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.

00:21:44.000 Well, 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.

00:21:59.000 Okay, that is such a mistake.

00:22:01.000 And this was the first 45 minutes of the debate.

00:22:03.000 Again, 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.

00:22:09.000 Brilliant, dude.

00:22:10.000 Brilliant.

00:22:12.000 In just a second, we're going to get to more of the Rock'em Sock'em Robots that took place last night. 0.76

00:22:16.000 Was just ridiculous. 0.99

00:22:19.000 Ridiculous, ridiculous stuff. 0.99

00:22:20.000 Bernie Sanders emerges as the clear frontrunner. 0.99

00:22:22.000 At this point, he already was going in.

00:22:23.000 Nobody touched him.

00:22:24.000 Really?

00:22:25.000 Bloomberg hit him?

00:22:26.000 Not sure how telling it's going to be.

00:22:27.000 We'll get to the... There's even more fun stuff, guys.

00:22:29.000 It's so much fun.

00:22:30.000 We'll get to so many great moments.

00:22:32.000 It's like I'm doing trailers for the movie.

00:22:34.000 We're going to get to it in just one second.

00:22:35.000 First, it's super easy to get into credit card debt.

00:22:38.000 It really is.

00:22:39.000 You start off, you take on a little bit of credit card debt, and then you figure, okay, I'll pay it off.

00:22:42.000 And then you get just a little bit behind, and then those credit card charges start racking up and racking up and racking up.

00:22:47.000 What you need to do if you are a responsible person and you've gotten into credit card debt is consolidate those loans.

00:22:52.000 The best way to do this?

00:22:53.000 Get a credit card consolidation loan from Lightstream.

00:22:56.000 Rates are as low as 5.95 APR with auto pay, much lower than the national average interest rate on credit cards, which can be over 20% APR.

00:23:02.000 You can get a loan from $5,000 to $100,000 with absolutely no fees.

00:23:07.000 Lightstream believes that people with good credit deserve a better loan experience.

00:23:10.000 That's exactly what they delivered.

00:23:13.000 Here's how one of their customers describes their experience.

00:23:16.000 Quote, I heard the radio ad and said it was worth looking at.

00:23:18.000 I was a little skeptical because I'd never done anything like this online before.

00:23:21.000 To my great surprise, the loan process was simple and easy to navigate through.

00:23:24.000 I wish all loans were this efficient.

00:23:26.000 Again, if you're racking up that credit card debt, it can really be a burden on you and on your family.

00:23:30.000 Instead, go get it solved by checking out lightstream.com.

00:23:33.000 My listeners right now can apply to get a special interest rate discount and save even more.

00:23:36.000 The only way to get the discount LightStream.com slash Shapiro.

00:23:57.000 Alrighty, so.

00:23:59.000 The Rock'em Sock'em robots continued.

00:24:01.000 And again, it was mostly attacks on Bloomberg.

00:24:04.000 Just mostly attacks on Bloomberg.

00:24:05.000 So Bloomberg does that apology, right?

00:24:07.000 He 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. 0.99

00:24:13.000 All she was interested in was breaking things.

00:24:15.000 Not 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.

00:24:29.000 When the mayor says that he apologized, listen very closely to the apology.

00:24:34.000 The language he used is about stop and frisk.

00:24:38.000 It's about how it turned out.

00:24:40.000 Now this isn't about how it turned out.

00:24:43.000 This is about what it was designed to do to begin with.

00:24:47.000 It targeted communities of color.

00:24:50.000 It targeted black and brown men from the beginning.

00:24:54.000 And 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.

00:25:14.000 Shutting out the sounds of people telling you how your own policy was breaking their lives.

00:25:19.000 You need a different apology.

00:25:21.000 This is why Michael Bloomberg should never have apologized. 1.00

00:25:24.000 Look, he's a moron. 1.00

00:25:25.000 What Bloomberg should have done is he should have said, Senator Warren, you're a damn liar. 1.00

00:25:29.000 If 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. 0.99

00:25:37.000 It was not designed to go after black and Hispanic men. 0.99

00:25:41.000 That's ridiculous. 1.00

00:25:41.000 I'm sorry, it's ridiculous on its face. 1.00

00:25:43.000 Policies 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. 0.98

00:25:58.000 Bloomberg should have just called her a liar on stage. 1.00

00:26:00.000 But instead, he decided to pan Z out.

00:26:03.000 And he paid the price for it.

00:26:04.000 He did it again.

00:26:05.000 He did this again and again with Warren.

00:26:06.000 This is what killed him last night.

00:26:07.000 So here's Elizabeth Warren going after Bloomberg on his NDAs. 0.69

00:26:12.000 Now I'll tell you what Bloomberg should have said.

00:26:14.000 He 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. 0.99

00:26:24.000 Which really does raise the question, why did this idiot bother to do the debate in the first place? 0.97

00:26:28.000 If you're going to drop $300 million in ads, why do you need to be on stage? 1.00

00:26:32.000 What if he just said, listen, I'm not getting in this clown car with these idiots. 1.00

00:26:35.000 I'm not doing this thing. 1.00

00:26:35.000 I'm not getting in this reservoir dogs. 1.00

00:26:39.000 Warehouse?

00:26:40.000 Like, why would I do that?

00:26:41.000 I'm just gonna stand over here and you guys murder each other and then when Super Tuesday comes, we'll see how you do. 0.82

00:26:47.000 And Donald Trump did that, by the way.

00:26:49.000 There was a debate that Donald Trump fully skipped because he didn't feel like doing it.

00:26:52.000 Bloomberg could have done that.

00:26:53.000 He's not on any of the ballots for two weeks.

00:26:55.000 But instead, he decided to jump in early and he got clobbered for it. 0.97

00:26:58.000 Here's Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg being just an absolute moron about defense of his own conduct, which again, let me explain something. 0.93

00:27:05.000 There's nothing wrong with nondisclosure agreements. 0.96

00:27:07.000 Nondisclosure agreements are a feature of every business.

00:27:09.000 They'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.

00:27:16.000 It 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.

00:27:31.000 This is why NDAs exist.

00:27:33.000 This is why confidentiality provisions exist.

00:27:35.000 Every single company in America with more than 10 employees has them.

00:27:39.000 Every single one.

00:27:41.000 Bloomberg could have said that. 1.00

00:27:42.000 And 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. 0.99

00:27:47.000 If you'd run a business, you would know that NDAs are a part of every agreement. 0.98

00:27:50.000 And 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.

00:28:03.000 No, I'm not releasing people from NDAs.

00:28:05.000 I've run a business.

00:28:06.000 When you run a business, you can decide how you run a business.

00:28:09.000 But 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.

00:28:15.000 Again, 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.

00:28:26.000 By violating an NDA, by threatening a lawsuit, by making allegations that are unsubstantiated, this stuff happens all the time.

00:28:32.000 Why do you think places have HR departments? 0.55

00:28:34.000 HR departments exist specifically for this.

00:28:37.000 Bloomberg should have said, no one here has run a successful business or any business for that matter. 0.98

00:28:42.000 So no, I'm not going to take advice on business from you, Elizabeth Warren, you useless lady. 0.97

00:28:48.000 I'm not going to take any piece of advice on business from you. 0.97

00:28:51.000 There's a reason I'm worth $60 billion and you are worth a closet full of Ann Taylor loft leftovers. 0.98

00:29:00.000 That's what he should have said, but that's not what he says.

00:29:02.000 Instead, he goes to, well, no, no, no. 0.90

00:29:05.000 Just dumbassery of high order from Michael Bloomberg here.

00:29:08.000 He 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. 0.91

00:29:19.000 So, 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? 0.58

00:29:28.000 We have a very few non-disclosure agreements.

00:29:33.000 None of them accused me of doing anything other than, maybe they didn't like the joke I told.

00:29:39.000 And 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.

00:29:47.000 They signed those agreements, and we'll live with it.

00:29:49.000 So wait, when you say a deception, I just want to be clear.

00:29:53.000 Some is how many?

00:29:56.000 And 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?

00:30:08.000 You're releasing them on television tonight?

00:30:10.000 Senator, no. 0.86

00:30:11.000 Is that right?

00:30:13.000 Senator, 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.

00:30:23.000 I 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.

00:30:34.000 Okay, he's getting openly booed about all of this.

00:30:36.000 Again, his best answer here is, I run a business. 1.00

00:30:38.000 You don't run a business, because you're stupid. 1.00

00:30:40.000 Because you're a government service hack. 1.00

00:30:43.000 Because you spent your entire life writing bullcrap about bankruptcy that's unsubstantiated. 0.92

00:30:48.000 So, how about this?

00:30:49.000 How 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.

00:30:59.000 And you, everybody on this stage, all yous, who don't understand how business works, you shove it.

00:31:05.000 That's exactly what he should have said, but of course he wouldn't say that.

00:31:07.000 Instead, he goes to, well, no, they consented to the nondisclosure agreement, and so we're gonna hold to that.

00:31:12.000 And so Elizabeth Warren asks the obvious follow-up question, okay, what if they want to get out of it now?

00:31:15.000 You willing to let them out of it?

00:31:16.000 And he's like, no, I'm not.

00:31:17.000 So then it isn't about current consent, right?

00:31:19.000 Now it's about they signed an agreement.

00:31:21.000 What he should say is, of course they signed an agreement.

00:31:23.000 That is a condition of employment, for all the reasons I've already listed.

00:31:26.000 But again, Bloomberg wouldn't stand up for himself.

00:31:28.000 It was only very late, especially against Warren.

00:31:30.000 It was only very late in the debate.

00:31:31.000 He stood up for himself.

00:31:32.000 And then it got kind of good.

00:31:34.000 Okay.

00:31:34.000 Meanwhile...

00:31:36.000 Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar despise one another.

00:31:39.000 Despise one another.

00:31:41.000 And it is amusing, very amusing.

00:31:44.000 So I'm gonna give you just a taste of this.

00:31:46.000 Okay, so here is Pete Buttigieg.

00:31:49.000 Okay, so here's one of the problems with Pete Buttigieg.

00:31:51.000 Pete Buttigieg is more produced than Taylor Swift, right?

00:31:53.000 Everything about Pete Buttigieg is produced.

00:31:54.000 From 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.

00:32:06.000 You know, things like South Bend, Indiana, I'm sure it's pleasant.

00:32:09.000 South Bend, Indiana has about as many members as my synagogue.

00:32:13.000 Like, there are 100,000 members of South Bend, Indiana.

00:32:17.000 He got 8,000 votes.

00:32:18.000 Okay, and so his thing has been that he is essentially a Boy Scout and an untouchable Boy Scout at that.

00:32:25.000 And that he is perfect.

00:32:25.000 He is perfect.

00:32:26.000 He has never made a mistake, people would judge, ever in his entire life.

00:32:28.000 No mistakes. 0.99

00:32:29.000 Okay, so he decides to go after Amy Klobuchar on the stupidest possible topic. 0.99

00:32:34.000 Like, something that gets under his skin. 0.98

00:32:36.000 What gets under Pete Buttigieg's skin?

00:32:37.000 That Amy Klobuchar was asked, over the last few days, whether she knew the name of the president of Mexico.

00:32:43.000 And she admitted that she did not.

00:32:45.000 For the record, his name is Andres Manuel López Obrador.

00:32:48.000 Okay, that is his name.

00:32:50.000 But who cares?

00:32:51.000 Like, honestly, who cares?

00:32:52.000 People make mental flubs all the time.

00:32:54.000 Also, 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.

00:33:02.000 You know what's more important?

00:33:02.000 That they know your name.

00:33:04.000 That they know your name.

00:33:05.000 Because, Murica. 0.89

00:33:07.000 Okay, that's a perfectly fine answer and an acceptable answer.

00:33:10.000 You don't know something about, like, the President of Botswana?

00:33:13.000 And you're like, yeah, I don't know his name, that's why I have a State Department.

00:33:16.000 When we get together, I'm sure I'll know his name and we'll have good conversations. 0.97

00:33:19.000 Okay, 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. 0.96

00:33:26.000 But you're staking your candidacy on your Washington experience. 0.97

00:33:30.000 You're on the committee that oversees border security.

00:33:33.000 You're on the committee that does trade.

00:33:35.000 You're literally part of the committee that's overseeing these things.

00:33:40.000 And we're not able to speak to literally the first thing about the politics of the country to ourselves. 0.98

00:33:45.000 Are you trying to say that I'm dumb? 0.98

00:33:47.000 Or are you mocking me here, Pete? 0.97

00:33:49.000 I said I made an error.

00:33:51.000 People sometimes forget names.

00:33:54.000 He's basically saying that I don't have the experience to be president of the United States.

00:33:59.000 I have passed over 100 bills as a lead Democrat since being in the U.S.

00:34:04.000 Senate.

00:34:05.000 I am the one, not you, that has won statewide in congressional district after congressional district.

00:34:12.000 And I will say, when you tried in Indiana, Pete, to run, what happened to you?

00:34:17.000 You lost by over 20 points to someone who later lost to my friend Joe Donnelly.

00:34:23.000 So don't tell me about experience.

00:34:28.000 By the way, it got better than that.

00:34:29.000 That was not even the best clip of Amy Klobuchar just turning full-on Fargo and feeding him face-first into a woodchipper. 0.99

00:34:35.000 And richly deserved, because that is a dude who loves himself.

00:34:39.000 Pete Buttigieg is self-righteous beyond all possible measure, and Amy Klobuchar is having none of it.

00:34:44.000 We'll get to more of this in just one second, because this is just a bevy of ads.

00:34:48.000 For Donald Trump against Democrats.

00:34:49.000 Donald Trump was a big winner last night.

00:34:50.000 There's no question.

00:34:51.000 Of all the winners last night, Donald Trump was one.

00:34:54.000 The other, presumably, was Marianne Williamson, who may still be the nominee, depending on if people turn their hearts to light and away from darkness.

00:35:01.000 But we'll get to all of this in just one second.

00:35:03.000 First, let's talk about one of the ways that you get healthier, and that is you gotta change your habits.

00:37:02.000 So in this debate, eventually it began to dawn on Michael Bloomberg that he was going to have to actually defend himself.

00:37:13.000 That 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.

00:37:20.000 So this began, I think, when he started to realize that Bernie Sanders is actually a danger.

00:37:26.000 So 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.

00:37:32.000 Good luck with that.

00:37:33.000 You know how many jobs fracking provides in Pennsylvania?

00:37:35.000 It's more than coal in West Virginia.

00:37:37.000 I 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.

00:37:53.000 It also provides tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of jobs in places like Pennsylvania.

00:37:58.000 Here is Bernie Sanders openly announcing that he's going to ban fracking nationwide.

00:38:02.000 Good luck winning swing states with this.

00:38:04.000 You want a total ban on natural gas extraction.

00:38:07.000 Yep.

00:38:07.000 Fracking in the next five years.

00:38:09.000 What do you tell these workers?

00:38:10.000 It's supporting a big industry right now, sir.

00:38:13.000 What 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.

00:38:33.000 Good luck with all this.

00:38:33.000 Good luck with that.

00:38:34.000 So finally, Bloomberg has had enough of this.

00:38:36.000 And he says, listen, you know, you guys keep talking about business and the economy, and you're all horrible at this.

00:38:39.000 Like, horrible at it.

00:38:41.000 He says, if you're going to talk about business, maybe you might want to talk about the person who's earned a buck.

00:38:45.000 Like, who's actually not a ward of the taxpayers.

00:38:47.000 Here's Bloomberg finally deciding that he's had enough of this nonsense.

00:38:52.000 What I was going to say, maybe you want to talk about business is I'm the only one here that I think has ever started a business.

00:38:57.000 Is that fair?

00:38:57.000 Okay.

00:39:00.000 And everybody goes silent.

00:39:01.000 Because, of course, none of them have ever started a business.

00:39:04.000 Okay?

00:39:04.000 That should make a difference.

00:39:06.000 That doesn't mean that you have to start a business to be a great politician.

00:39:09.000 It 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.

00:39:17.000 And read a book, for God's sake.

00:39:19.000 And Bloomberg eventually was not having it directly from Sanders.

00:39:22.000 So Sanders goes after Bloomberg and suggests that Bloomberg is responsible for corrupt politics in America.

00:39:26.000 And Bloomberg's like, dude, you've been in the Senate since 1637.

00:39:30.000 Here's Bloomberg going right back at Sanders.

00:39:33.000 You 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

00:40:03.000 So maybe just the tax code.

00:40:06.000 And he's exactly right.

00:40:14.000 Bloomberg's like, what are you talking about? 1.00

00:40:16.000 You were there, you jerk! 1.00

00:40:18.000 Like, what are you— You're gonna complain like you weren't part of the system? 1.00

00:40:21.000 You are the system!

00:40:22.000 This is one of Bernie's great charms, is that he can be in Washington, D.C.

00:40:25.000 as part of the system for his entire adult life, and then pretend that he was absent somewhere.

00:40:29.000 Maybe he was.

00:40:29.000 Maybe he was busy drinking shirtless in the Soviet Union.

00:40:32.000 It didn't stop there.

00:40:33.000 Bloomberg finally... I mean, he had had enough.

00:40:36.000 He had had enough.

00:40:36.000 Clip 25.

00:40:37.000 Here is Sanders doing the... Michael Bloomberg didn't earn his money.

00:40:40.000 It 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.

00:40:50.000 I mean, this is well known.

00:40:51.000 Bloomberg's company paid great.

00:40:53.000 Okay, 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.

00:41:01.000 Mr. Bloomberg, it wasn't you who made all that money.

00:41:04.000 Maybe your workers played some role in that as well.

00:41:07.000 And it is important that those workers are able to share the benefits.

00:41:11.000 Also, when we have so many people who go to work every day, and they feel not good about their jobs.

00:41:18.000 They feel like cogs in a machine.

00:41:20.000 I want workers to be able to sit on corporate boards as well, so they can have some say over what happens to their lives.

00:41:27.000 Mayor Bloomberg, you own a large company.

00:41:29.000 Would you support what Senator Sanders is proposing?

00:41:31.000 Absolutely not.

00:41:32.000 I can't think of a ways that would make it easier for Donald Trump to get re-elected than listening to this conversation. 0.99

00:41:38.000 It's ridiculous. 0.95

00:41:41.000 We're not going to throw out capitalism. 0.98

00:41:44.000 We tried that.

00:41:45.000 Other countries tried that.

00:41:46.000 that was called communism and it just didn't work.

00:41:48.000 Oh, and then Warren and, and sounds, Oh, you said communism.

00:41:52.000 Oh, no, we're not communists.

00:41:54.000 And then Bernie goes, Oh no, we like Denmark.

00:41:56.000 It's just like Denmark.

00:41:58.000 So then why have you spent your entire adult life defending communist regimes?

00:42:00.000 Like, people are like, oh that's an unfair hit by- that is a perfectly fair hit by Bloomberg.

00:42:03.000 Sanders is a commie.

00:42:04.000 He is not a social democrat.

00:42:06.000 He is not.

00:42:07.000 He's not!

00:42:08.000 His entire career has been spent defending communist dictatorships.

00:42:11.000 Many aspects of communist dictatorships, ranging from their healthcare systems, to the way they treat their workers, to bread lines.

00:42:17.000 Yeah, you don't get to play that card.

00:42:18.000 Good for Bloomberg.

00:42:19.000 Good from Bloomberg.

00:42:20.000 And then Bloomberg gets in what was the best hit of the night.

00:42:23.000 Like, everybody's ignoring this because there were so many hits early against Bloomberg.

00:42:26.000 And really, the first hour of the debate matters the most, because that's when the most people are watching.

00:42:29.000 But the most brutal hit of the night was this hit by Michael Bloomberg on Bernie Sanders.

00:42:34.000 It just demonstrates, full scale, nobody in the media knows what they are doing. 0.98

00:42:37.000 Or at least if they do, they're garbage at their jobs. 1.00

00:42:40.000 Garbage. 1.00

00:42:41.000 Hot, flaming dumpster fires of garbage. 1.00

00:42:44.000 Entire landfills on fire of garbage. 0.99

00:42:47.000 Half of Earth on fire filled with garbage. 1.00

00:42:49.000 That is the media. 0.99

00:42:50.000 Because let me be frank about this.

00:42:53.000 I do not know a conservative in America who has not made some comments about the fact that Bernie Sanders has a lake house.

00:43:00.000 This is a fairly obvious attack on a man who claims that billionaires are bad.

00:43:04.000 Who used to claim that millionaires and billionaires are bad, but then he became a millionaire and then he started defending millionaires.

00:43:08.000 Then he was like, anybody can write a book.

00:43:10.000 Everybody couldn't have a lake house.

00:43:12.000 And it's like, oh, welcome to the party, Bernie. 1.00

00:43:14.000 You old commie bastard, you. 1.00

00:43:15.000 Okay, so Bloomberg finally had had enough. 1.00

00:43:17.000 Again, this was the—it was great.

00:43:19.000 Bloomberg finally was like, okay, F this, man.

00:43:21.000 Done.

00:43:22.000 If this had been Bloomberg all night, by the way, he actually would be a frontrunner, but he was not.

00:43:25.000 He was apologetic for the first two-thirds of the debate.

00:43:28.000 Here is Bloomberg going after Bernie with a hatchet, and Bernie has no answer.

00:43:31.000 It's the most obvious question ever asked to Bernie Sanders.

00:43:34.000 Because the media have been acting as both his shield and his spear.

00:43:37.000 Here's Bloomberg asking the most obvious question in human history, and Bernie having no answer, because it's great to be an old commie.

00:43:44.000 The left will defend you to the death, including members of the media.

00:43:47.000 What a wonderful country we have.

00:43:48.000 The best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses.

00:43:52.000 What'd I miss here?

00:43:54.000 Well, you'll miss that I work in Washington, house one.

00:43:57.000 That's the first problem.

00:43:58.000 Live in Burlington, house two.

00:44:00.000 That's good.

00:44:00.000 And like thousands of other Vermonters, I do have a summer camp.

00:44:03.000 Forgive me for that.

00:44:04.000 Where is your home?

00:44:06.000 Which tax haven?

00:44:07.000 New York City, thank you very much, and I pay all my taxes.

00:44:12.000 Okay, I mean, Bernie has no answer to that.

00:44:14.000 How does he think that's an answer?

00:44:15.000 Like, how does he even think that's a good answer?

00:44:17.000 That's amazing!

00:44:18.000 His friends say, I have one in Washington!

00:44:20.000 And one in Vermont!

00:44:21.000 And I have a summer camp!

00:44:22.000 Really?

00:44:23.000 You have like a full camp out there?

00:44:24.000 Like with kids and swings and everything?

00:44:25.000 I have a summer camp!

00:44:27.000 By the way, it's not just a summer home, it's like a $600,000 lakefront property.

00:44:32.000 So, that was pretty fantastic.

00:44:34.000 It really was.

00:44:36.000 And he is correct.

00:44:37.000 Bernie is a rich human.

00:44:38.000 He's a rich human with a summer home.

00:44:41.000 And 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.

00:44:54.000 If 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.

00:45:00.000 Because Bernie deserves every bit of that.

00:45:02.000 Every bit of it.

00:45:04.000 But as I said, my favorite moment of the debate actually was not even that.

00:45:08.000 That was pretty great.

00:45:09.000 There have been a lot of great moments.

00:45:11.000 Clip 29.

00:45:12.000 This is when Amy Klobuchar finally decides that she's already decided she's had enough of Pete. 0.95

00:45:12.000 This is my favorite moment. 0.95

00:45:18.000 This little pipsqueak who's won 8,000 votes in Indiana being the moderate choice.

00:45:23.000 Well, simultaneously, like, in 2000, the man wrote, like, a full paper on the wonders of Bernie Sanders' socialist agenda.

00:45:29.000 He is not a moderate in any way.

00:45:30.000 Amy Klobuchar finally was like, okay, you know, all of this put-together, Taylor Swift-produced kind of stuff, like, enough of that.

00:45:37.000 Here is Amy Klobuchar dropping the bomb on Pete. 0.68

00:45:41.000 We stood up for those rights and stood with members of our community with the message that they were as American as we are.

00:45:47.000 Thank you.

00:45:48.000 I wish everyone was as perfect as you, Pete, but let me tell you what it's like to be in the arena.

00:45:59.000 And you can see how mad he is.

00:46:02.000 He's so mad because she's right.

00:46:05.000 She's right.

00:46:06.000 Mayor Pete's never had to do anything.

00:46:08.000 He fixed sidewalks in Indiana.

00:46:11.000 In Indiana.

00:46:12.000 Okay, so it was glorious all the way around.

00:46:14.000 Final analysis.

00:46:15.000 Big winners and big losers.

00:46:17.000 Big winner, obviously Donald Trump.

00:46:19.000 President Trump is obviously the big winner in all of this.

00:46:21.000 President Trump Trump World issued a statement with Kayleigh McEnany issuing this statement.

00:46:29.000 The Democratic Party is in the midst of a full-scale meltdown.

00:46:31.000 Americans 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.

00:46:38.000 This train wreck is nothing compared to what they would do to our country.

00:46:41.000 None of these candidates will be able to go toe-to-toe with President Trump in November.

00:46:44.000 Fact check, true. 0.93

00:46:48.000 Michael Bloomberg announced in a statement, yeah, our first 45 minutes sucked.

00:46:52.000 They actually put out a statement.

00:46:53.000 You know you're a winner when you are drawing attacks from all the candidates.

00:46:55.000 Everyone came to destroy Mike tonight.

00:46:56.000 It didn't happen.

00:46:57.000 Everyone wanted him to lose his cool.

00:46:59.000 He didn't do it.

00:46:59.000 He was the grown-up in the room.

00:47:01.000 It took Mike just three months to build a stronger campaign than the rest of the field has built in more than a year.

00:47:05.000 It took him just 45 minutes in his first debate in 10 years to get his legs on stage.

00:47:09.000 That is an admission that his first 45 minutes stunk.

00:47:12.000 It's a disaster area out there.

00:47:13.000 And Joe Biden, by the way.

00:47:15.000 Remember Joe?

00:47:16.000 You haven't played a single clip of Joe?

00:47:17.000 Because he's dead.

00:47:18.000 I regret to announce that Joe Biden is officially deceased.

00:47:23.000 Maybe the reports of his death are premature, but I think not.

00:47:26.000 I think he may not, in fact, be a living human being.

00:47:28.000 He's already downplaying the idea that he has to win South Carolina, which means he's just gonna carry this thing on.

00:47:33.000 Good luck to him.

00:47:34.000 Bernie's gonna be the nominee, guys.

00:47:36.000 That's the bottom line.

00:47:37.000 Elizabeth Warren decided to kill everyone except for Bernie. 1.00

00:47:37.000 Bernie's gonna be the nominee. 1.00

00:47:42.000 Bernie decided to go after Bloomberg, and Bloomberg appropriately hit him back.

00:47:46.000 Pete and Amy were busy fighting with each other.

00:47:49.000 A la the, uh, a la the Honeymooners.

00:47:52.000 I mean, it was just, it was, it was really, it was really great.

00:47:55.000 It was really great to see.

00:47:57.000 The 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.

00:48:03.000 Okay, time for a quick thing that I like, and then we'll do a quick thing that I hate.

00:48:07.000 So, things that I like.

00:48:08.000 That whole debate.

00:48:09.000 Like, really, it was great.

00:48:10.000 Really entertaining.

00:48:11.000 Why could we have not had that?

00:48:13.000 Why could we have not had that, like, the whole time?

00:48:16.000 But other things that I like.

00:48:17.000 There'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.

00:48:23.000 I mentioned this about Air Force One the other day that if Air Force One were made today, people would be saying, jingoistic, terrible.

00:48:29.000 Now, if you made it during a Democrat administration, then it would be wonderful.

00:48:33.000 Reminding us what makes America great.

00:48:35.000 Okay, well, another one of these movies that was recently made was a movie called Midway.

00:48:39.000 Roland Emmerich, who did Independence Day, did it.

00:48:41.000 And the movie's pretty great.

00:48:42.000 It really is.

00:48:42.000 It's enjoyable.

00:48:43.000 Okay, it's not just enjoyable, it's historically accurate.

00:48:46.000 It 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.

00:48:54.000 And it is history, fact-filled, Well shot, well acted.

00:48:59.000 It's good.

00:48:59.000 It's a good movie.

00:49:01.000 The critics didn't like it because it was too straightforward.

00:49:02.000 What they want is that America was bad in the Pacific.

00:49:05.000 Lest people forget, the Japanese Imperial Army was pretty brutal, vicious, and evil.

00:49:10.000 And this movie doesn't let you forget it.

00:49:12.000 Here's a little bit of the trailer from Midway.

00:49:16.000 We got the order to launch!

00:49:19.000 We need to throw a punch so they know what it feels like to be hit.

00:49:24.000 We're talking about a couple dozen planes.

00:49:32.000 It's all Japanese fleet.

00:49:36.000 This isn't a fair fight.

00:49:40.000 And 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.

00:49:50.000 So, people forget about Battle of the Midway, they remember Iwo Jima because of the famous imagery, they remember all the battles in Europe.

00:49:55.000 The Battle of the Midway, because it's a naval battle, doesn't get the kind of attention that it should.

00:49:59.000 So, go check out Midway.

00:50:01.000 It's available on rental today, and it is quite good.

00:50:03.000 It's definitely, definitely worth the watch.

00:50:05.000 Very enjoyable, very patriotic.

00:50:07.000 The kind of movie that you didn't think that Hollywood would make anymore.

00:50:11.000 Pretty great stuff.

00:50:12.000 Okay, time for a thing that I hate.

00:50:18.000 I live in California. 1.00

00:50:20.000 My state is garbage. 1.00

00:50:21.000 My state is just terrible. 1.00

00:50:22.000 I have the right to say that.

00:50:23.000 It's a hellhole.

00:50:24.000 I can say that because I've been here my entire life.

00:50:26.000 I was born in California.

00:50:27.000 I was raised in California.

00:50:28.000 I was married in Israel and California.

00:50:31.000 And I've lived my entire life in California.

00:50:34.000 Really, except for three years where I was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hanging out with the Elizabeth Warren group.

00:50:39.000 Except for that, I've been in California my entire life, and it is getting progressively worse. 0.98

00:50:43.000 And I use the word progressively advisedly, because the more progressive it grows, the dumber it grows. 1.00

00:50:48.000 So we decided we were going to elect an idiot Kendal as the governor of the state of California. 1.00

00:50:55.000 This 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. 1.00

00:51:04.000 And then we were like, oh, let's make him governor.

00:51:06.000 And he has presidential aspirations, does Gavin Newsom.

00:51:09.000 So Gavin Newsom gave his State of the State address the other day.

00:51:12.000 And 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.

00:51:20.000 We have, by the way, something like 65,000 homeless people counted in Los Angeles County alone.

00:51:24.000 Like Dodger Stadium worth of homeless people in LA County.

00:51:27.000 You cannot walk down the street, any street in Los Angeles, without people.

00:51:32.000 engaging in public urination or defecation or needle use.

00:51:36.000 I believe it was Herbert Hoover who promised a chicken in every pot.

00:51:40.000 In L.A., they promised a homeless person on every bench.

00:51:44.000 Their 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.

00:51:49.000 And 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.

00:51:55.000 Like, they don't really care.

00:51:56.000 So it's a wonderful city and we pay exorbitant taxes.

00:51:59.000 And 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.

00:52:10.000 It's very, very low kicking.

00:52:11.000 Anyway, Gavin Newsom gave his state of the state address in which he said it was a disgrace we have so much homelessness.

00:52:17.000 Conveniently forgetting that he is the governor and was also the mayor of San Francisco and is horrible at both jobs.

00:52:25.000 Let's call it what it is.

00:52:27.000 It'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.

00:52:42.000 Every day, the California dream is dimmed by the wrenching reality of families, children, and seniors living unfed on a concrete bed. 1.00

00:52:52.000 Okay, well, you know who's responsible for that?

00:52:55.000 That would be like you and the Democrats who have run Sacramento virtually my entire adult lifetime.

00:53:00.000 And you may have something to do with that, do you not?

00:53:03.000 So what proposals did Gavin Newsom bring to the table on homelessness?

00:53:06.000 Well, as a Ken doll, there's not a lot between the ears.

00:53:08.000 So Gavin Newsom brought a few proposals.

00:53:10.000 Here's one of his proposals.

00:53:12.000 He says, what if we just, like, said that people have a legal right to shelter?

00:53:15.000 What if we just said that?

00:53:17.000 Now, last I checked, when you say somebody has illegal rights with a thing, this carries with it a couple implications.

00:53:22.000 One, either nothing happens because you declared it a right and it doesn't materialize.

00:53:25.000 For example, there's a right to housing in the South African constitution.

00:53:28.000 Homelessness in South Africa, a very large thing.

00:53:31.000 You can declare anything a right.

00:53:33.000 That doesn't mean it materializes.

00:53:34.000 If I declared that you have a right to pancakes this morning, I'm not gonna make any pancakes.

00:53:38.000 Nobody's gonna make any pancakes.

00:53:39.000 The pancakes ain't gonna appear.

00:53:41.000 If I declare that you have a right to housing, that does not make the housing appear.

00:53:44.000 Or 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.

00:53:52.000 Or 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. 0.98

00:54:12.000 In other words, this is idiocy. 0.99

00:54:13.000 But here is Gavin Newsom doing the idiotic thing because welcome to California. 1.00

00:54:18.000 In 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. 0.97

00:54:27.000 Requiring that any new funding isn't replacing existing spending, but creating new solutions.

00:54:35.000 Some have recommended a legal right to shelter.

00:54:39.000 I know it's a provocative idea, which has forced this state to explore the limits of what local governments can be compelled to do.

00:54:46.000 But right now, our imperative, I believe, must be about bringing governments together as working partners, not sparring partners in a court of law.

00:54:55.000 So, um, if you give everybody a legal right to shelter, that you're making everybody sparring partners in a court of law.

00:55:00.000 That's what it does.

00:55:01.000 I mean, you've now cast it into the courts, which is the entire purpose, of course.

00:55:05.000 Then, he says, what if doctors could write prescriptions for housing?

00:55:09.000 What if they could write prescriptions for housing?

00:55:11.000 What the hell is he talking about?

00:55:14.000 Now, not to put too fine a point on it, but as you know, I have a close relationship with a doctor. 0.99

00:55:19.000 A close sexual relationship with a doctor.

00:55:21.000 My wife. 0.99

00:55:23.000 I know, hot.

00:55:24.000 But my wife should not be able to write prescriptions for housing. 1.00

00:55:27.000 Because that's idiocy. 1.00

00:55:29.000 She doesn't know anything about housing. 1.00

00:55:31.000 She's a doctor.

00:55:32.000 She can write a prescription for drugs. 0.96

00:55:33.000 She can write a prescription for pharmaceuticals. 0.98

00:55:36.000 She can write a prescription for a follow-up appointment.

00:55:38.000 She can't write a prescription for a two-bedroom condo in Studio City.

00:55:42.000 What the hell are you talking about, Gavin Newsom?

00:55:44.000 Gavin Newsom doesn't understand how doctors work.

00:55:47.000 So here he is explaining that doctors should write prescriptions for housing.

00:55:51.000 Healthcare and housing can no longer be divorced.

00:55:54.000 After all, what's more fundamental to a person's well-being than a roof over their head?

00:55:59.000 Doctors!

00:56:00.000 Doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way they do for insulin and antibiotics.

00:56:09.000 What in the what?

00:56:11.000 Okay, 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.

00:56:18.000 This is what's helping Californians save money.

00:56:19.000 So we've really, we've really fixed all the problems, guys.

00:56:22.000 Now, 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.

00:56:37.000 Make sure that people either are forced into mandatory drug rehab or that they are treated in ways that they need to be treated.

00:56:43.000 If they're mentally ill, they get the drugs that they need, right?

00:56:46.000 But he's not going to do any of that stuff.

00:56:47.000 Instead, he's just going to talk about how, yeah, sure, we've got hundreds of thousands of homeless people across the state of California.

00:56:52.000 What if we declared a legal right or put it on doctors?

00:56:54.000 And also, here's some free tampons.

00:56:56.000 A 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. 0.84

00:57:11.000 Yep, well, and, woo!

00:57:13.000 California, man!

00:57:15.000 Sure, 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.

00:57:23.000 Don't you feel better now?

00:57:24.000 Don't you feel better? 1.00

00:57:26.000 This state is trash. 1.00

00:57:28.000 Good news. 0.99

00:57:28.000 Why don't we take that and just expand it across the whole nation? 0.99

00:57:31.000 Democrats do such a great job.

00:57:32.000 They do such a great job.

00:57:33.000 Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with a couple additional hours of content.

00:57:36.000 Otherwise, 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.

00:57:51.000 Over near Moscow.
