 So if you've been tuning into MSNBC lately, which you absolutely should not do, you'd see that they are absolutely distraught with the prospect of Bernie Sanders becoming the Democratic Party's nominee and they're hoping that if Pete would a judge in Amy Klobuchar fall through that Mike Bloomberg will be there to save the Democratic Party from the threat that is Bernie Sanders because God forbid we get someone in office who cares about the people and Wants to give everyone health care and save the planet can't have that so they think that the savior of democracy is The guy who's trying to ruin democracy by buying his way into the White House That's what we're dealing with now but what's interesting is that Donald Trump showed that he is a more sophisticated when it comes to political strategy than the pundits at MSNBC like this is stunning to me Trump Knows more he has his finger on the pulse of America more so than the people who are supposed to know the country the best So he was talking about Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders and he discussed who he'd prefer to run against and obviously he said he'd rather run against Bloomberg because He can beat him frankly I'd rather run against Bloomberg than Bernie Sanders Because Sanders has real followers whether you like them or not whether you agree with them or not I happen to think it's terrible what he says what he has followers Bloomberg's just buying his way in guess what Donald Trump is right Don't say that very often, but he's right here Bloomberg doesn't have real support. He is buying his way. He bought his way into third place Not by convincing people that he has the best agenda But by running ads and flooding these networks with ads and by basically buying complicity Because if you're spending hundreds of million of millions of dollars on ads at MSNBC CNN Do you honestly think that those pundits those television hosts will feel inclined to critique Mike Bloomberg? If they do it's gonna be tapently, but they're not really going to be rigorous in their scrutiny So there's no support there he's not convincing people ask anyone what policies Mike Bloomberg supports Don't know what he supports But I do know that he's the guy that implemented stop-and-frisk Which was a racist policy and we now know that it wasn't just an unintended Consequence that black and brown people were racially profiled. That was the goal. He said it on tape But Bernie Sanders has spent years now building up this massive grassroots coalition It's now the most diverse. It's now the most enthusiastic. It has the youngest by far So if I'm Donald Trump and I'm self-interested and I want to get reelected I would be an idiot to think that I'd have a better shot at beating Bernie than someone like Bloomberg Like what people in the Democratic Party and pundits don't realize is that if you are giving voters the option of Republican and Republican light Why on earth were they opt for the Republican light when they could just have the real thing? Like do you think that the Democratic Party is going to be energized to come out and vote for a Republican or a Republican? I mean Mike Bloomberg is a Republican When it comes to ideology Functionally, he's a Republican. He just endorsed George W. Bush in 2004 after he invaded Iraq So do you think voters are going to lift a finger to help get Bloomberg elected because we have to defeat Donald Trump? Of course, that's not gonna happen You'd have to be an idiot to think that but if you're a pundit and you're desperate and you don't want Bernie to win You know, you're willing to believe in anything So I mean Bloomberg if anyone is going to demoralize and suppress the turnout in 2020 It's gonna be him Democratic voters and young people aren't going to allow this oligarch To buy his way into the White House and they shouldn't like if Bloomberg is the nominee. Do you think he's getting my vote? Fuck no, he's not getting my vote at that point I would be so demoralized that I don't even know if I would vote at all like and I'm in Oregon They get my ballots mailed to me and I don't have to do very much But I might not even vote just because I can't participate in the system or we have one billionaire who bought his way to the nomination facing off against another billionaire who bought his way to the nomination and both the right wing like That system is deeply illegitimate and I couldn't I wouldn't feel right Legitimizing that disgusting corrupt plutocratic system So I mean Donald Trump is absolutely correct here And it's astonishing to me that he has more sense politically at least when it comes to strategy Than people on TV who get paid millions of dollars to bloat the eight I mean look if you listen to MSNBC and CNN I Can't imagine The way that you think about politics like it's almost inconceivable to me If you know anyone who watches MSNBC and CNN they are poisoning your brain They're poisoning the brains of your loved ones get them to turn that shit the fuck off Get him a subscription to any independent media news show. I don't care if it's this show I don't care if it's another show like there has to be some type of alternative Non-corporate entity that talks about politics in an objective way and look we all have our biases, right? Nobody's perfect. We all speak from a very subjective perspective But at least there's no corporate control like I don't have to worry that if I criticize Mike Bloomberg I'm not gonna get hired at Bloomberg in the future or he's not gonna advertise on the humanist report Doesn't work that way, right? I have my biases. I support Bernie Sanders. I'm a Democratic socialist I hate capitalism, but you know where I stand at corporate media. We don't know where they stand They try to pretend like they're neutral, but they're not neutral. They're not even objective They're clowns and they can't even realize what Donald Trump realizes So I mean this should be obvious to everyone Trump of course would prefer to run against Bloomberg than Bernie Sanders But I mean if you told anyone that in mainstream media on MSNBC, they wouldn't believe you You could support the humanist report at patreon.com Slashed humanist report, but trust me I'd have way more supporters at patreon if that was my podcast sad
