We finally figured out what was wrong with this show and the answer is I That's the problem with the show Let's David Feldman joining us from San Francisco is Will Durst hello, mr. Durst How you doing David? It sounds like fun. We took a cave The Creek in the cave comm and when you come out to New York Well, we're we'll have to do a show with you. Yeah, you're doing elect to laugh 2016 at a theater near you. That's a one-man show Right as about 80 minutes me my little overhead projector and I'm hitting clubs and theaters all around Every Minneapolis in a couple weeks will be in Tahoe next week. So are you at Acme? Are you at Acme? Yeah, Acme in Minneapolis. Say hello say hello to Lewis Lee for me one of the greatest clubs in the world Are you gonna be working with Howie Nave and Lake Tahoe? Yeah, I am indeed at the Lake Tahoe improv at Harris. And how was Zany's in Chicago? Very well, we had a great time and it was You know the week before the Iowa caucuses. So the the political-minded crowds did come out Well today is Tuesday and the people of New Hampshire are going to the polls Let's discuss this What do you well go ahead New Hampshire is Hard to figure out. You know that phrase Thinking outside the box. Well, the box they're talking about is New Hampshire Well, I don't call the granite state for nothing the granite is the rocks in their head These people It's tiny and it's really really white It's white and there's a nice Jeffersonian aesthetic to New Hampshire feels like what America used to be Right You've been you've been around New Hampshire. Yeah. Yeah, if you'd like the 50s Yeah The yeah, they're good decent people. I you know, I don't know what I talked to you about Last time you were on the show. I was in King, New Hampshire. I went to it You know with this triumph the in cell comic dog special we went after all the candidates We went to a lot of the rallies and I went to a keen New Hampshire Country Club very wealthy part of New Hampshire and Jeb Bush was speaking there and I get I get it. I get white people of that ilk vote the way they do if I were white and privileged and Here first I Would want to ease into change. I wouldn't want it that quickly. I kind of get where these people are coming from I think they're wrong, but I get it. Don't you? Well, also, they're so isolated. I mean it is, you know Communities do have to stand up for themselves Because they're not near I mean they're near Boston, you know, but that's still an hour away So it's it's especially, you know, you get you get outside of Keen and Nashua and Manchester and you know, you get to the anything north of Concord, you know It's it's you know, man versus the elements. So You got to be tough and in order to be tough, you don't want you don't want to give stuff away. So I understand their kind of selfish Objectivism well, you but then you're going to Minneapolis Which is a hotbed of liberalism where the weather is equally tough and the people in Minneapolis all concluded well if The elements are harsh. We all have to work together and share Yeah, also, they have a huge university there, you know, and universities have a lot to do with advanced generosity and thinking and you know and sharing and You know, it's they have a lot of cultural amenities as well museums and and hospitals and libraries and So people They see that as you know Something for the whole community and something that everybody should get a little bit of yeah I was watching John Sununu who was the governor of New Hampshire Republican at one time and then he became the first George Bush's chief of staff W had to come in and fire him. I believe but you know this guy he was actually saying that President Obama is purposely destroying the country Not not accidentally but purposely Destroying the country. Yeah, that's one of the problems with with the Republican message this time around You know, it doesn't really resonate it. I mean people hate Obama because well Republicans have always been taking out of Democrats, you know Obama isn't just responsible for You know the deterioration of American societies, we know it, but he's also You know responsible for the substandard maple syrup cropping Vermont and sugar mites and that decade fever and and all Badness throughout history in perpetuity through the universe. I mean, yeah That's that's just a sense and you know the economy is doing okay and employment is down You know terrorism of course is always going to be a problem That's never you know, they don't really have a message that resonates outside of their base So it's going to be tough for them. Yeah, I mean Rubio during the last debate four times said Let's dispel of this notion that president. Oh, he said it's six times really six times Yes, you said it five times and people were just shaking their heads and then and then he rephrased it a sixth I thought it was only wow. Let's dispel of this notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing He knows exactly what he's doing and it's kind of what Rubio is saying Rubio I'm sorry, Sununu was saying and that is that president Obama is purposely ruining America Are and Do you think it sounds like it was a talking point that went out of some fax machine because I'm sure they're still using The only you know Finally somebody is criticizing Bernie Sanders We don't know that much about him and there was an article in the New York Times that when he was head of I guess it was the Veterans Affairs Committee when the Democrats had control the Senate. He ignored Worries and warnings about the condition of the VA. He said this is like I guess four years ago These these calls about how the VA is letting the veterans down Are not worthy of looking into and I understand why Bernie Sanders was saying that Because the Republicans do want to destroy the VA the Republicans do want to destroy the federal government so they can prove that the federal government doesn't work and that the states are the laboratories of democracy and our taxes should be lower and The VA at one time ten years ago before George Bush got his hands on it The VA was a shining example of socialized medicine the VA used to be as popular as Medicare is it worked the VA worked and then George W. Bush became president and the sequester went into effect a few years later and the VA started screwing up So I understand why Bernie Sanders when he was chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee a couple years ago said I don't Believe that there are problems at the VA. It's just the Republicans trying to prove that the federal government can't do anything Right, but how could Rubio? How can Sununu claim that? Obama who believes in big government would be purposely be trying to destroy big government That's what the Democrats believe in it. It makes absolutely no sense to me Doesn't have to yeah as long as you attack them and a couple of people see if you attack him ten different ways and You've gained two different people For each of the ten different ways that you attack him and people go. Yeah. Yeah, that's right It doesn't matter if number three and number eight You know Cancel each other out it doesn't matter if they say diametrically opposed thing Because you're not you're you're just going for those two people that each attack is going for You and I have been doing political satire longer than the two of us can remember not because we've been doing it for a long time I think we're both senile and I don't But I I can remember opening for you at the other cafe the night Lloyd Benson debated Dan quail this must have been 1988 and Yes, it was probably October of 1998 night not 1998 1988 1988 yeah, and that was the night. I remember you were headlining. I was middling other cafe I remember the fog and that was the night Lloyd Benson Nailed quail for comparing himself to John Fitzgerald Kennedy quail about the same age rubio is right now and quail was saying You know, I have spent just as much time in the Senate as JFK did and Lloyd Benson said I knew John Fitzgerald Kennedy You're no John Fitzgerald Kennedy Dan quail was pretty stupid wasn't he? No, he was he was a politician from you know, Indiana and he He was fine in Indiana and he had charmed his way to this position and Suddenly they're playing the heavy-duty hardball with him. I mean he never had to play hardball before You know, he used his kind. So no, he wasn't he wasn't that stupid. He can't be stupid be a US senator Bush isn't stupid Bush is just He relies on his instincts, you know, and his instincts were wronged. That's how we grew up, but Which Bush are you talking about? Billy Bush? What's what's oh, no No, I was talking about George, but you have is actually, you know poor Jeff, you know Yeah, exclamation mark, what's your last it doesn't matter. I'm Jeff Yeah, I He's the smart Bush, right? Yeah, that's what they keep saying. No, no, no. This is a smart one. Well, thanks, you know Thanks for giving us a smart one the third time Well, if he was smart he wouldn't he would have changed his name Well, he tried to he tried to convince people that he was a top didn't work And now he's got his brother W endorsing him, you know, I wouldn't count Bush out, you know, he's got the money he's got the packs He's got the donors Just don't you know, he went you know how they always say that generals are fighting the last war Well, I think Bush is debating the he's running the last campaign, you know I mean this would have been a great campaign if he had run against Romney four years ago But Donald Trump has changed, you know, the whole Tea Party thing and and Donald Trump is hooked into that and He's at these debates and Trump is like a trans horsewrecks, you know Chopping on people and spitting out pieces of red meat and you look over at Jeff Bush And he he he wants the teacher to control the bully and He could barely break the crust By the way generals fight the last war And wives fight the last war How many times do you have to say to your wife? No, that's your father That was your father did that that was the war You know the first 17 years of your life. This is a different war. This is my Leaving a dish in the sink. This is a different war. Yeah, I would like to thank Mr. Trump for if he wins tonight And I hope he does win. I Hope he gets Wins the primary New Hampshire for reasons. I'll get into in a second But I'd like to thank him for finally making it settle law that the Bush name is synonymous with Failure that it's that it's disgraceful to even think that a Bush is entitled to sit in the Oval Office Right. I mean shouldn't we thank Trump for a couple of things? Well, Trump is right On a couple of things One if he gets elected Mexico indeed will build a wall Yes control our immigration and And and they'll pay for it And they'll pay for it. Yeah And you know, he said he said that he's a big fan of Christianity and if he gets elected People are gonna start praying like you wouldn't believe Yeah, I I'm holding off on getting to Trump because I feel I owe it to my listeners to Talk about the other candidates who tonight. I want to ask you who you think is gonna win tonight. I think I'm worried that you're right. I am worried that Jed might actually squeak the sack because he has spent more on TV advertising in New Hampshire than all the other candidates combined I Tell you who the who the the guy to be afraid of is if you're a Democrat is Kasek Kasek right now is the only guy who could beat Hillary. I Agree a hundred percent. I think I think they could all be burning. I think they would all be burning Yeah, I want to talk about burning in a second because I'm about to endorse him my listeners will believe it or not How long have you known me too long? We won't But they're 30 years. Yeah, remember me little towel-headed boy not town. Yeah, we're we're closer than 34 years But a couple of the listeners want to know who I I'm gonna support and I'm gonna endorse Bernie later on in the show. Maybe I'll endorse him while I'm talking to you I feel kind of pretentious Actually endorsing somebody but a lot of people have written in and got and saying you need to endorse Bernie You need to tell you're a little if you gotta officially go see I don't do that. I'm I'm I don't to work for candidates. I Work for clauses. I'll work for a clause. I'll work for Planned Parenthood. I'll work for the Association for retarded citizens. I'll work for Oh, so you work for Republicans then That's not fair I will if they have a good thought. Yeah, but when you say you work for causes, I thought you meant Cod like his defense fund that you know the bill caused me to sense my no actually yeah I'll get to Bernie in a second and why I'm why I said okay. Well, let's go through the other care Let's go through the other canons Let's get back to Kasek. I agree with you that he's the wonk Jeb pretends to be right And he's had a success. He looks like you know, he's Rand Paul is the reluctant Republican. Yeah, but Kasek is a real guy. He just seemed reasonable in those debates Mm-hmm. Yeah And we'll hang on forget Trump for a second Rubio Must be on something that his brother-in-law used to deal to think that he has a shot Right. I mean, this is just somebody who Now I wouldn't even put him in his vice president. He's done Right, but his performance. I don't know. I think he'd be a good vice president I think I think the the robotic thing would go away, you know, it's six months When they have to what is six months from today August? Yeah, July is when they get a pick the other vice president So he's got plenty of I don't know after that debate where Chris Christie ate his lunch and his dinner He's a former prosecutor, you know, he was pretty good though, wasn't he? Yeah. Yeah, but he's the same way he didn't want He's addressing his supporters, you know He always sounds like he's reading people the right never have a day where you feel fat You feel lousy. I mean, that's how Chris Christie feels every day. His thighs are chap His anus is burning. He's hungry all the time. He's angry You know, when your clothes don't feel good He feels that way. He feels lousy 24 hours a day That's who Chris Christie is. I don't know what that means. I just figured I'd share that with you I appreciate I think he's destined to disprove the whole too big to fail He might do well tonight, right? No Okay, not a chance. No, I don't I think that's an illusion. Okay. I think he was he was his only Participation in this election will be to have knocked will be allowed Yeah, and then there is Carly Fiorina. She's She's done for that at $2 stake She's done, right? She's yeah stick a fork in her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she's she's out after tomorrow I try to stick a fork in her, but it went limp That's a sexist thing what's gonna happen if Hilary because here's my fear If Bernie gets elected then the police are gonna start shooting Elected elected. I'm going straight to November. He's the new president first Jewish president Are we gonna have a spate of police officers shooting unarmed Jewish men? That's my fear because we have a black president now and Suddenly for the first time in American history unarmed black men are being shot by the police This has never happened before and I'm wondering if it's a reaction to a black I'm joke, you know people are I people keep saying to me A black man was elected president. Look how horrible things got for black people. I don't what They didn't get bad for but they were always bad for black people But cameras on them. Yeah Although, you know my theory about the body cams is that because they're on television the police up their game They just they become hot shots because the camera is rolling so they Hello Yeah, I'm still with you. It's offensive, but it's moderately amusing if you are Not the victim of police violence. What happens if Hilary gets elected president are women gonna become insufferable I'm serious Is that a syllogism based on your your previous comment about black people and that women are already are insufferable I said, I said, are they gonna have a corollary? I said, are they gonna become insufferable? Because I ain't going there I would I would love to see Hilary and Carly Fiorina both dominant Just imagine the rednecks in the south going into the voting booth and having to choose between two women Their little heads would pop right off I want to get back to women here for a second. I mean this I I'm a feminist I agree with women. I think men are pigs and I saw Shy Rock the new Spike Lee movie. Have you seen that? Great movie and it's it's about women having the power to control men and rightfully so it's Liz Astrada basically and There's a new Michael Moore documentary who should we invade next and the solution that Michael Moore has at the end of his documentary is that women are the only ones who can save this planet men have destroyed it and I agree. I think we need women to I totally agree. I think I think we've had 44 male presidents in a row We should have 44 female presidents in a row and then after 88 then we can mix it up a little. Yeah, I honestly think that that Just being in an office with all men and that that prison mentality. It's got to end It's just the the planet is suffocating that being said what I'm worried about is That women are angry and they have every right to be angry But we have to do we have to deal with them They live with us, right? Some of us have you know And my fear was the famous you remember emo Phillips line women You can't live with them. You can't cut them up in the little pieces and serve them on post points is kind of a So So women like women are angry right now They've they've done a new pole and And the pole reveals women are angry Well it vindicated everything I've been saying for the past four years I've been saying for four years that women are angrier than they've ever been in the history of Men and female relations and I attribute this to the rat in the maze searching for the cheese that there is a psychological study of Rats and their tolerance of frustration and the closer the rat gets to the cheese The more frustrated he becomes when he can't get the cheese Wow. Yeah, so if you create a maze and Then there's this wall that separates The rat from the cheese and he you know he can smell it, but he can't get in there It's kind of like the glass ceiling the rat almost becomes psychotic and I'm worried that if Hillary gets elected president women Or rats Will think, you know, they'll smell the cheese the cheese being equality and But they're not gonna They're not gonna get it and They'll just become really really angry at me Specifically at you Yeah, I think you should come up with a line of bumper stickers that say smell the cheese smell the cheese And the and the other thing is that suppose they do get the cheese And they discover that it's pretty stinky cheese that that what we've had for 40,000 years Pretty bad, you know, like you can have it. It comes with a lot of Lot of baggage that cheese and then they're gonna be angry with us. They're gonna say well, you ruin the cheese Well, you've misrepresented the cheese. Yeah Yeah Yeah So that's what maybe That's why I'm maybe that's why I guess what I'm saying is that's why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders I don't think women knowing the cheese. I don't think you're right. I don't think you want the cheese and Who smells more like cheese than Bernie Sanders? That's the point I'm making better You should smell the cheese and actually hold it in your hands ladies. Well, so you're saving women from from Disappointment by keeping them from actually achieving their goals Well, maybe In all serious, I think that's smart. I think that's really smart. Well in all seriousness There's a lot of anger in this country And I know you see it on TV and you watch cable TV at all a little Have you seen all these shows are based on anger? They're all like Live and be fighting that shit, you know Because nobody knows how to have a conversation Without it turning into some adversarial Relationship people don't understand how to share ideas and share knowledge. It's always it's a male thing It's men showing off who you know who knows more who's more powerful Don't you find that that's what and that's what cable news is Like you and I are actually having a conversation. I'm not trying to establish dominance over you Hello, well, yeah, but it's implied dominance because it's your show Yeah, and I wish I'm here. I'm here to assist you. I understand that I know my role All right, let's get to Trump's the top of my palate. What let's get to Trump Tonight was on New Hampshire He wins I hope so don't you by 12 points who comes in second four choices cruise Rubio case it or bush I it's either, you know, it's either case it or bush. I Think it's gonna be case it. I think it's gonna be bush. Well, I think people are gonna move the pen To bush because they've seen all those ads and then they're gonna see case it and they're gonna say, you know what case it's Kind of like bush, but only better and they're gonna pick Yeah Okay, and now let's turn to The Democrats don't care line. No, let's get to Hillary and Bernie Well, Bernie obviously wins By how much because she's kind of at one point he was a nine point Because she needs to get it to single digits. So it's like she needed the one last week into one by point two six percent This year this week she she cuts it to single digits, but just bare minimum of single digits And then we go to shout right, okay, and what happens if Trump doesn't win tonight and He disappears conceivable, I don't think a lot of his voters are registered or even know How to read a ballot box a ballot What happens if you get some establishment candidate in the Republican Party somebody like case it or Jeb Then the Democrats become the spectacle, right? You have the socialist Jew from Brooklyn and The Democrats are suddenly are they the laughing stock? The way the Republicans are now with Trump it can a socialist Jew from Brooklyn Get the nomination from a party that Whose president is Brock Hussein Obama? I mean how insane is it to think that a That America could elect Bernie Sanders after we elected a black guy whose middle name was Hussein You don't feel bad for Hillary I mean first she loses to a charismatic young black man Now she's gonna lose to a charismatic old white guy, you know, I mean What does she need to do poor baby, but I I I don't think I think Bernie has too many soft spots That the Republicans can Hit him on, you know, I just can't see him winning Ohio and Pennsylvania. I mean other than the fact that he has a Child out of wedlock. He's been married twice and he's an atheist and a Jew and a self-avowed socialist And a conscientious object and a conscientious object or other than that Why would he be unpalatable to the people of Alabama? Exactly Well, I mean, you know, he can he can you know, he can't extoll His experience. I mean when you think about it when history starts to repeat itself, he'll be the first to know He could alert the rest of You know, he's only a year older than Mick Jagger What? Yeah And he's a year younger than Charlie Watts the drummer for the stones He's a year younger than Charlie Watts and they're going on tour. They're doing a South American tour this year He's a year older than Mick Jagger Yeah, wow, he looks so much better than Mick Jagger Have you ever seen Mick Jagger up close It's like it's like talking to one of the trees from the Wizard of Oz. It's just all creases And yet every woman would go to bed with every woman would go to bed with Mick Jagger Hey, does Bernie have charisma? You said he has charisma Does he it it's kind of a Fossilized It's kind of like Charisma, you know like classic charisma, you know, it's it's not permeable It's it's pretty crystallized when when when women when you say Chris does that mean women want to Bed him. Oh I mean, do you think women want to get into bed with him and I tend to his I don't know. I would not want to hazard a guess. I would not want to infume or even try to Plumb the mind of the American woman I think most women want to give him a sponge bath and then turn Burt them I don't I don't I don't know All I know is that women stopped wanting to bed me about 20 years ago women file find you attractive I wish I could figure out what it is Like what like all this like growing up. I was told It was the penis and then they changed the rules and then it's our butts the women are turned on by our butt Did you know that? No, I had no idea you didn't know that They're doing to us. I always had a big dick So I was always okay on that one and then they had of course they changed it They're like they do to us what we do to them Which is you know Changed the rules. They changed the rules on us. I cannot figure out Yeah, but you think about how breasts have Evolved and you know just when you know the 50s and 60s big breasts were in and then they developed a way to have big breasts For women who didn't have them and they made those available and then they were dangerous and life-threatening And then suddenly, you know this felt the 13-year-old boy look came back in, you know So all these women who had huge breasts must have kind of felt betrayed. I Love talking politics with you will durst So here's why here's why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders And why I want our listeners in New Hampshire to go vote for Bernie today I Listened to some of his speeches. I spent well most of you were watching the Super Bowl. I Got on YouTube and just looked up some speeches of Bernie and finally got around to listening to him and I Remember really liking him 15 years ago 10 years ago, but thinking yeah, we need a guy like this in the House of Representatives We need a guy like this in the Senate We need somebody from Vermont to remind us what's important. I never thought He would catch on With the entire country. I just thought that was impossible but as long as People Want him enough people seem to want him I'm not well, you know, you know the old phrase the political axiom That Democrats for our Republicans fall in line and Democrats fall in love And Hillary is not Lovable, I mean, you know trying to make her cuddly. It's like it's like gluing Goose down to the side of a barracuda It you know, it doesn't she's she she's as huggable as Margaret Thatcher Now Yeah, and that's only you laugh, you know, it's just It's I use it to I use tape record I go to YouTube and I get recordings of her laughing and I use it to dig out my bathroom By the way, it's sexist to comment on the way a woman sounds. Did you know that? Really? Yep. And I was just reading about that. Not only you cannot comment on the way they look That sexist you cannot comment on their tone of voice that sexist We're one step away from not being able to comment on the way they think I'll be sexist What about what about the fact that female politicians? obviously Have had facelifts whereas male politicians. I can't tell What about that? Can I mention that you can Carly Fiori and our Jesus Christ lady, you know, your eyes are Tilted now. I mean, you know, they go up at the ends One more facelift. She's gonna have a goatee. Remember that line. Yeah I actually have a joke that I'm going to apologize for That that I came up with that I should preemptory apology Carly Fiorina has had so many facelifts her belches smell like a queef Now that's an example of a joke. That's funny. If you know, like There's an example of a joke that should not be told ever in public and I would never tell that No, no, no, but but here in a podcast, I and I didn't tell that joke I we're gonna cut that out because it's inappropriate. We're discussing politics will derst Discussing politics with the man that the will you the New York Times calls Possibly the greatest political sadist working today in America even they qualified it. Yeah Otherwise otherwise, I wouldn't have mentioned it The only reason I mentioned that blurb about you is it has the word possibly My ego can only hold so much go ahead. What about New Hampshire? No, no, what happens afternoon? Oh, do we do we cover Bernie? Are you why I want to get I want to get back to Bernie because I I sense will derst because You like me are a victim of your own expertise and you want to think about what's possible as opposed to dream You you're kind of just saying let's just get this over with and put Hillary in the Oval Office, right as a Closeted liberal am I exposing your politics, but I would assume You're kind of going Hillary Is that a fair statement? Oh I don't care who gets it. I just like observe Be interesting if you're yeah, but people of our age Say things like okay, it's nice to dream about Bernie yes, he's right everything. He says is right, but let's be realistic and I was realistic up until I Saw this groundswell of you know, obviously he's tapping into something and Why not? Why not what since when do we have to be realistic in America? I mean supposedly we You know, we've invented all these great Things why do we have to be realistic? Why not get Bernie Sanders in there? And by the way Only only because only because the next president May Point for Supreme Court justices. I think that's why and you don't think Bernie you don't think Bernie would elect somebody to nominate somebody of the Supreme Court who's pro-choice Here's the thing, you know, the old 1% doctrine that Cheney Cheney used to operate under If there's a 1% possibility of it happening then you act upon it as if it is real and That's that's what there was a book written about that runs us and yes, and the same thing is true with Hillary if Hillary has 35% chance of winning the presidency against whoever the Republicans nominate and Bernie has a 34% chance I think you go with Hillary Yeah, yeah, I I understand that but But I think things are so screwed up right now. Well, I don't know right now if it's New Hampshire You go would you have I would have said the same thing about Barack Obama? I did say the same thing about Barack Obama I did too. I thought Hillary was doing the nomination I thought McCain was gonna win the election and I was wrong. And didn't you say and didn't you say? Old man and didn't I say old man America doesn't deserve Barack Obama We've been a bad country and we need somebody like Hillary to come in there and You know crack some skulls and get this country on the right path before we treat ourselves to the dessert of Barack Obama, that's what I said eight years ago. I was wrong. I Think Barack, yeah, but but but he's been he's been I thought I think that he's been pretty good president but I think he's also been handicapped by the outcry and the nativism and The people who you know just could never accept the fact that we're being governed by a black guy living in public housing and The fact that the whole Tea Party thing emboldened Conservatives and the safe house districts and they didn't have to work with them and I think they would have worked with Hillary Or could be new more well, but the seeds of The hatred for Barack Obama were already planted and had already sprouted under Bill Clinton They shut down the government with Bill Clinton. They impeached. Oh, yeah, they hated Clinton, too They've no the Republicans the Conservatives have have you know They've streamlined their anti Incumbency project. I mean they're the they're wonderful shadow government people and that you know, they they did it with Carter They did it with a candidate. They couldn't do it with Johnson because The country was behind, you know after the fallen president But I mean think about it. They did it with Roosevelt, you know It they fire up the conservatives because conservatives so black and white, you know, unfortunately Liberals deal with nuance, you know, which is not as easy to put on a proper sticker So that I mean you look at our history and they hated Rose about so bad We don't even know because we weren't there, but they hated him so much and and then it was And then it was Truman and they couldn't hate Truman because of what was still going on that Eisenhower and then and then Kennedy they hated him and came, you know, the John Britchers and then it was Linda Johnson But he had Stefano and then they hated, you know, then it was Nixon and then And then Ford and then Jimmy Carter and they hated him and they they almost shut down the government because Nobody would work with Carter and then it was Eight years of Reagan and the four years of Bush and then they hated clip and they hated him dead one Bob Dornan called for his impeachment on January 21st 1993 For eight years and then they had Bush for eight years, and then we we don't think that he's a good president Look what he did with Katrina and then and then Obama and then hate hate hate hate hate hate So it doesn't matter who did Hatred feels good doesn't it feels good to hate it does. I remember it Yes, I do I do do you agree with it. I absolutely disagree with two things. One is I disagree I just want to I think That Jimmy Carter was destroyed more by Tip O'Neill and the Ted Kennedy Branch of the Democratic Party than he was by the Republicans I know that there were the Ted Kennedy Really hated Jimmy Carter the minute Jimmy took office and Tip O'Neill Kind of helped with that. The other thing is, you know, we always say no, I agree with you there because I Carter came in with this anti-Washington mandate. It was right after Watergate and he came in with a little Georgia boys, you know Bert Lance and all those guys and he said well We came in here. We're supposed we're not gonna work with you because Washington is corrupt And they said yeah, try to get anything done, but it wasn't it wasn't just Republicans, but the Democrats didn't help Yeah I'm old enough to remember my parents not liking Jimmy Carter Because he wasn't a real liberal You know, we always think of Jimmy Carter as the quintessential Liberal, but he wasn't there were other, you know Humphrey was more of a liberal than Jimmy Carter back then the other thing you said that is true, but I Just want to push back a little on it and that is that the Republicans don't understand nuance I think we're seeing a much more vigorous debate In the Republican Party than we're seeing in the Democratic Party I mean, you know, you have guys like Rand Paul who are going after the NSA and They're I mean there is they they are the Republican debates are pretty substantive in a way sort of kind of there's nuance there isn't there except for Trump and Everybody else in the Republican Park except for everybody. Maybe I'm wrong. Hey But they're but they're you know, the the government The economy isn't doing that bad right now. Yes, it is, you know I mean our infrastructure sucks and and all sorts of things, you know, yeah, but That's what happens when you live in a house for a long time, but He said looking around the rubble of his but You know, you listen to the Republicans and oh, I hate I hate Obama and you know, oh, yeah, well, I hate them even more. Yeah, well, I hate them worse than sugar mites and So right now that's that's the only thing that I'm getting out of the Republicans Well, I think they I mean, yeah, there's some internet in warfare. You're right. Rand Paul is a bit more isolationist and And Trump says he he wants to kill everybody. Yeah Yeah, so yeah, there's a little bit of that, but you know, they all hate Obama The reason I in I'm endorsing Bernie is because of the economy. Yes. We're below 5% With the unemployment unemployment and that's considered full employment economists agree that once you get below 5% The economy's humming along for the working man But that's not really the way it is. I mean when you look at the underemployed Then it's about 9.1% and those jobs most Americans and this is why I think we have to elect Bernie because Here we have Below 5% unemployment the people who are working are miserable. There was a new study It was conducted by the British, but I It speaks to what Americans are going through the number one cause of unhappiness is being sick Number two is going to work number two Why is that? you know, we define ourselves in America by our jobs and None of us have jobs the thing that we get paid to do None of us can say it makes us happy We are especially for the baby boomers. I think the baby boomers were all fed this idea that Yeah, it's important to have a family But you have to have a job and the job you have will define you and that job will make you walk upright and be proud and we've been robbed baby boomers have been robbed of the pride that comes with a job and In America having a job is a privilege not a right and They own you they own all your time and they ring you dry and That has to change and that's because of Wall Street. That's because of corporate greed It's because the guy ringing you dry is getting rung dry by his board of directors So we have to change The economic infrastructure in this country and Bernie is the only one Discussing that really and he's been talking about it for 20 years. The problem is Wall Street the problem is greed and It's a disrespect for workers the people who make the big money Have convinced us that we're all Dispensable and we are nobody's indispensable including Wall Street. So I say get get rid of the source everybody thinks I'm living in New York City, and I can remember The fear in New York City of what happens if we alienate Wall Street. What are we gonna do? Well, you know, they've been alienating Wall Street for the past eight years and the city's doing just fine You don't need Wall Street. It just sucks money out of the system It Wall Street doesn't create jobs It makes the jobs you already have more painful Bernie Sanders. Yes, you know, he's he missed the boat on black lives matters but We've got a we've got a disease in this country and it's it's the tip of Manhattan It's the tip of Manhattan. It's Wall Street and Bernie Sanders has been hitting that one note For 20 years and he's right and the reason most of us are miserable is we're underemployed and overworked and Not respected in a country that we all came to for work all my grandparents came to America for one reason for work and Freedom but mostly work and work in America is horrific. There is nobody Nobody has a job in America Where they're happy They're all miserable. Well, well, and that's and that's your endorsement of Bernie Sanders ladies and gentlemen And that's why David Feldman hereby Say it out loud. Go ahead make the announcement. I support Bernie Sanders Because America Has fallen prey to greed on Wall Street and you're all miserable America whether you know it or not you're miserable because You don't have time for recreation You don't have time for your family When you are with your family or with your loved ones, you're worried about your job. Your phone is ringing You're getting emails from your job You're convinced every second of your life that you can be replaced with a push of a button And you can be replaced with the push of a button because we can all be replaced. That's why unions were invented Nobody's indispensable nobody including The people who who run Wall Street Everybody can be replaced. So let's replace the people on Wall Street and put some laws into place Where work does not consume Your entire life. I mean, we're we're working longer hours for less money We're more productive and yet we live under this sort of Damocles that we're gonna get fired We're one paycheck away From bankruptcy. What kind of country is this one vice president Joe Biden's son dies from cancer and Joe Biden has to he's the vice president of the United States And he's talking to President Obama about selling his house to help pay for Bo Biden's medical Expenses, what country are we living in when the vice president of the United States has to consider selling his own house? because his son died from a brain tumor and his son's family doesn't have enough money to Get their kids through college. This is a sick country And it's made diseased by the greed on Wall Street and only one person is addressing that and that's Bernie Sanders We can't have more of the same We can't Nobody has a job if you're getting paid to do something You're miserable and I invite anybody who's listening to challenge me on that I challenge anyone to tell me that they have a job a paycheck and Happiness they don't and it used to be this way in our country But you because we had dignity We had dignity in this country in the middle class that had power and dignity and we are robbed We have been robbed of our dignity in this country if I'm paying you I own your soul That's what Wall Street says to the working man, and I'm goddamn sick of it.
