 So for whatever reason Judge Judy is Mike Bloomberg's most prominent supporter and surrogate and you know I say that not necessarily because he hasn't received other endorsements. Sure. He's gotten congressional endorsements He's gotten endorsed from mayors in cities across the country but she's the only authentic supporter of Mike Bloomberg who hasn't been bought off as far as I know like the Individuals who are running for Congress the mayors around the country who support him and endorsed him They were all bought off like he has contributed to them. He helped their political careers So they're just paying him back for that effectively, but Judge Judy actually believes in Mike Bloomberg's message Whatever that is So she really is his most prominent surrogate the problem with that is she's not the best surrogate She doesn't do a good job at explaining to voters why Mike Bloomberg is good for them but what you can see here when she talks about Mike Bloomberg is that He's gonna be really good for people like her who are very very wealthy and we've talked about this before like her defense of Mike Bloomberg It's borderline incoherent and on television. She comes across as this Confident if not arrogant, you know, really articulate eloquent person But when she's trying to explain why we should vote for Bloomberg It's incoherent, you know, she has nothing but platitudes and when she was talking to a local Fox affiliate She tried to defend Mike Bloomberg. She didn't do a great job but she also took shots at burning Sanders and his supporters and This is honestly like almost cringe-worthy because she is just she's so out of touch Millions of people watch you on TV every day as a judge and they trust your judgment Why is it that this the first time that you've actually endorsed a presidential candidate? Because it was urgent Because I really believe that America's in trouble Everybody's angry Polarized and it will continue to be polarized unless you have a president Who has no agenda other than to do the right thing for the people that he represents? He's Mike Bloomberg is not an ideologue He's a doer He sees a problem. He understands that if you Have good education and a solid education as a youngster and as you grow You'll have the tools To make it. Listen Mike and I are the product of an American dream Mike grew up Middle-class kid put himself through school. I grew up middle-class kid. I I wasn't as smart as he was I didn't I didn't have I couldn't get in to good to great schools, but I got into okay schools I was born in Brooklyn. So I have Brooklyn Street smarts and I know that if you give children reasonable building blocks You give them a fishing pole. They'll always be able to eat and He understands how to solve that problem He understands the genesis of it He understands how to tweak the things that are wrong with America America that doesn't need a revolution It doesn't need a different. It's the most perfect country in the world and those people that are trying to change it and revolutionize it I Don't have a chance because I'll fight them to the death Don't get on the wrong side of the judge. That's the message. That's the message. All right, listen judge Judy is Worth an estimated four hundred million dollars at that point like if you're that rich Why not just retire? Why not just you know throw your hands up and think you know what? I'm gonna sit this election out. I'm gonna kick back because no matter what happens the outcome of this election Isn't actually going to impact my life in any meaningful way But I mean if this election does impact her what our taxes go up a little bit. Is that really necessary? Does that warrant you like coming out here and speaking in favor of Mike Bloomberg and against Bernie Sanders Who's clearly fighting for the working class like is this what you want your legacy to be? Apparently so and it's just it's embarrassing now She says that she decided to not sit this out and make an endorsement when she's never done that Quote because it was urgent because I really believe America is in trouble. So why is American trouble? What are the issues that we're dealing with? She doesn't know she doesn't explain that part It seems like the only reason why she thinks America is in trouble is because she doesn't like Donald Trump But at the same time she doesn't think that a political revolution Bernie Sanders working-class revolution isn't something that's good in fact it seems as if she thinks it's a threat and She tacitly implied that Bernie Sanders is an ideologue. She said Mike Bloomberg is not an ideologue He's a doer, but I've got to ask the question. What has he done? That's so great for the people of New York City when he was mayor Stop and frisk banning big gulps Vitoing the minimum wage he illegally surveilled Muslims. I mean he did that. He's sexually harassed at least 64 of his female employees What exactly did he do judge Judy that you think is so wonderful that you would risk your entire Reputation on this oligarch. She doesn't know this really seems like a fuck you I got mine situation where she just doesn't want her taxes to go up She doesn't think that the peasants deserve health care or education. She believes that if you pull yourself up by her bootstraps then You can make it just like she did just like Mike Bloomberg did and she says that he understands how to tweak things that are wrong with America Except tweaking things is not going to suffice. We're facing climate catastrophe climate catastrophe Thousands of people are dying every single year because they don't have health insurance Tweaking the system isn't going to work. That's not going to make people less demoralized That's not going to make them less susceptible to radical to radicalization, right more neoliberalism It's just further putting us on the path towards fascism That's that's just a fact of reality and that's even if you want to claim that Mike Bloomberg isn't a fascist himself Because I'm sorry when you surveil Muslims when you implement stop and frisk and you turn your city into basically a police state I don't know what to call that if not fascism him and Donald Trump are fascists I'll be it for different reasons and maybe to the lesser degrees, but they're both fascists one is Arguably more dangerous in certain ways the other still dangerous We just we don't we don't really know so I mean whatever tweaks that Mike Bloomberg wants to implement It won't suffice and she says that you know America is the most perfect country in the world now again The reason why she thinks that the reason why she doesn't want a political revolution is because she's worth an estimated $400 million in fact in 2018. She just bought a nine million dollar mansion in Rhode Island So of course she doesn't want a political revolution. Of course She's okay with the status quo because look at how comfortable she is. She is living in a mansion She doesn't want our taxes to go up She doesn't want the peasants to have health care because she worked for it She worked for what she has so pull yourself up by her bootstraps peasants Go to law school and become a judge on TV and make a mockery of our judicial system do that Do what Mike Bloomberg did just make 50 billion dollars. Go ahead. Do it peasants. Why haven't you done that yet? Like this antiquated way of thinking is exactly why Anything short of revolution will not suffice because the elites in this country are so out of touch that they can possibly fathom Why people would feel so desperate and radicalized at this point in time and she vows to Fight them to the death meaning Bernie Sanders supporters Okay Mike Bloomberg says don't get on the wrong side of the judge. That's the message Actually, don't get on the wrong side of a revolution That's the message that you need to take away because we're not going to allow you to buy our democracy We're not gonna allow it. We're not going to sit here and pity these oligarchs who have hundreds of millions of dollars Who are clutching their pearls as they see the working class rise up in demand? Maybe a little bit more than crumbs So judge Judy is absolutely Disgusting and if she truly wants to fuck with the power of the people, maybe you organize an advertiser boycott of her show Maybe we protest outside her studio Judge Judy doesn't know who she's dealing with because judge Judy throughout the entirety of her life almost has been insulated She surrounds herself around yes men and yes women and she's the judge, right? She's the one in control on her television show shut up. Don't ever talk Be quiet peasants. She doesn't like that. We're finding our voice in Bernie Sanders, but too bad tough Even if we don't win this election this movement isn't going away It materialized and it's not just going to evaporate into thin air We're gonna be here and like it or not. We're coming for that wealth judge Judy So I'm sorry if you don't want to pay a slightly higher marginal tax rate But if you truly think America is the greatest country on the planet Then you can't allow the so-called best country ever which is perfect to have Thousands of citizens die every single fucking year because they don't have health insurance You can't allow people to drown in student debt Because they just wanted an education to have a chance at success Unacceptable so I don't even know what to say judge Judy is just keep talking because you're only further making the case for us as More rich people speak out as more billionaires go on national television and cry You're only helping to make our case for us. Keep talking. You're helping us
