 So as many of you know the latest controversy regarding Bernie Sanders is the comments that he made about Cuba Even though he condemned them for being authoritarian the fact that he said they were successful at Having high literacy That's a huge scandal. They're not desperate. You know, this is just something they disagree with Bernie on. They're totally not hacks Bernie's bad here So since the hosts on the view absolutely loathe Bernie Sanders You just take a guess and how they responded to this Of course, they they had some really strong feelings Especially will be Goldberg who compared Bernie's remarks about Cuba to something Donald Trump said when he was comparing the left and the alt-right Not even kidding. Take a look. They are not gonna forgive him for this position It's a dictatorship. Yeah, there is nothing groovy about a dictatorship It's just nothing good About a dictatorship for journalists for anybody. I mean wherever it is in the world We we bitched at people for getting next to people who were saying, oh, you know, it's not so bad It is bad, but doesn't it concern you that I mean and again, this isn't I think for Republicans in particular the Trying to sort of re re-animate re-establish what socialism means hit people are always saying oh, but it's like Europe It's like Sweden, but the problem is he's saying things like Castro did some good things He also defended Maduro of Venezuela's strong man a dictator and he would say whether or not He's he considered Juan Juarez. He's me the legitimate leader of the country So he's going around saying that like these oppressive socialist Dictators but it's a pretty good guy, but it should concern Republicans that Trump is in bed with dictators also That's the real problem You can't what about is in this like you just can't because again My problem right now is that I've heard rightfully so Democrats for the past three and a half years saying what you're saying Yes dictatorships about his coziness with Putin blah blah blah But I thought that your party was supposed to be better than this then and again There's so did most Democrats so did most Democrats fair enough But if you're talking about how Maduro's a good guy Castro did some good things for me It's no different than saying like hey Hitler was a good orator. It's that insane. It's that bad Sorry, but say that one more time. I'm sorry They said that Mussolini made the trans trains run on time I mean while they were rounding up Jews and killing people in Italy at the time Well, and so no that's not a good thing and that's why I think in the debates. No, we're gonna hear this We're gonna hear over and over and over again. We should also hear I think about his NRA record I think we should also hear about how he's gonna pay for Medicare, right? You know, he is the front-runner now, but these are real but to not care about Florida and Cubans in Florida and Cuban Americans in Florida is Particularly they were bad guys. He said Fidel was a bad guy. He was all he was saying was there's this one thing No way, but he's an American voters don't understand No, no, no, no, no, this is there's no way around that this is as bad as as you know Who's saying they were good people at both sides? It's the same. It's the same thing. There's no way to get I don't agree Oh, I do once you start saying well, you know, you know Hitler wasn't so bad because he but no he didn't say that but to a Cuban person Yeah, yeah, it's just as bad. I agree It's just as bad even refugees seeking who lost everything in Cuba because of Castro. Yeah, it says bad Yeah, that's bad. Can't allow his literacy program and not highlight the fact that he's a we're all on the same page with that What a day. Yes That was dead his brother will be dead soon the whole thing is gonna change very soon. Well, let's hopefully let's hope so yikes So, I mean first of all, let me just say good job. Joy Behar. She's usually terrible as well But at least in this instance She was reasonable, but will be Goldberg said this is as bad as you know who saying they're good people on both sides It's the same thing Really? Really? Trump was equating white supremacists with left-wing protesters Bernie is saying Cuba overall Their regime is dictatorial and I disapprove of that But I think it's good that they've managed to increase literacy rates and you're saying those two are the same thing She goes on to say once you start saying Hitler wasn't so bad because dot dot She went there she went there I I like I can't even find the energy to be angry anymore because They've been attacking Bernie Sanders just generally in the media so much that You just can't not tune out right like it when you see like one isolated example of somebody saying something stupid about Bernie You know, he makes my skin crawl. He's unlikable and disheveled Sure, those isolated instances instances are irritating But at the same time like if everybody's criticizing Bernie Sanders then Functionally, nobody's criticizing Bernie Sanders is all just noise at this point, right? So I'm not even outraged It's just like I want you to remember the strong response that whoopee Goldberg had to Bernie Sanders saying that about Cuba Because we've got a clip to tell you exactly what she said when Obama said the same exact thing But before we get to that I've got to respond to make it McCain So she criticized Bernie Sanders because he claims it's like, you know Scandinavian socialism But here he is Defending Maduro in Venezuela and not saying whether or not he considers Juan Guaidó the legitimate leader of Venezuela, so I don't know if Meghan McCain knows this but the United States government has a history of overthrowing regimes in South America and Venezuela is just another Government that we're trying to overthrow like that guy who she's referring to Juan Guaidó, he just declared himself the president unilaterally and then we recognized him as the president But yet we claim to care about democracy and while we are trying to legitimize this undemocratic coup We're saying we care about democracy rah-rah democracy When in actuality They've got a lot of oil in fact John Bolton when he was Trump's national security adviser What did he do? He admitted on Fox News You know it'd be great if we allowed American oil companies to get in there and took their oral I'm paraphrasing of course, but Meghan McCain It just shows that she is a historical and quite frankly stupid but getting back to whoopie Goldberg She again had a very strong response to what Bernie Sanders said here specifically because you know look a Dictatorship is a dictatorship. There's nothing Nothing groovy about that unequivocally never ever prays a dictatorship under any circumstances Except fellow podcasters let the madness begin tweeted this out. The internet has a long memory Amazing how easily they were able to wax poetic defending Obama, right? And they they linked to a video where whoopie Goldberg was defending Obama because when Fidel Castro died He said some good things about Cuba and he wasn't harsh enough in his condemnation of Fidel Castro Watched very closely what whoopie Goldberg says here because she doesn't feel as strongly about defending a dictatorship In this clip as she did in the previous clip that we saw The world is still reacting to the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro who died on Friday at 90 Now Cubans are either dancing in the streets in Miami or they're crying in the streets in Cuba itself Now some critics who say President Obama should have come out harder against the brutality of Castro's regime in his statement Do you think he should have said after just getting the doors open allowing for people to go see family do stuff? Do you think he should have said and you're a bonehead or was this the proper way to deal with this? Given all of this well, you know you can I think you have I listen to you and I'm saying Diplomatically if you're trying to keep If you're trying to keep the lines of communication open and you're trying to keep a flow going I think that's the way you do it. I went to Cuba last April and It's interesting. I mean they have a hundred percent literacy rate there So everybody gets a free education everybody has top-of-the-line medical care So everyone's healthy the line pretty good. I feel like okay. He said yeah, man is dead The Cuban people the Cuban people who are there are mourning him. They are mourning him a lot of those people a lot of them Are mourning and they're still under a dictatorship They have let's be clear, but that's the point. But look what's happening with the Cuban people who fled that regime. They're celebrating But they're not here celebrating that's my point My point is they are there wait up. They are there You know and he is talking to the people of Cuba. I'm not arguing about whether he's a monster or not Right. I'm saying to you that what Obama did was what a president is supposed to do The people who fled Cuba were in good shape in those days. They had they had jobs. They were doctors They were middle class people if Obama is being the statesman that he is you have to think as a leader of the people that are there Now and I suspect that's my point That's what I think what the president was doing was not just to poop on the people who are mourning him back there Like Ilian Gonzalez says he was a father figure to me. We can't understand that but we don't live there Let me get the straight Obama good Bernie bad if Obama says it Good if Bernie says the same thing bad because Bernie bad Obama good That's the level of political analysis that you can expect when you tune into the view Obviously this proves that will be Goldberg very obviously is a political hack And I don't even really want to call her a hack because I just think that she doesn't think deeply about politics Like she often likes to scold the left I remember when AOC was elected she scolded justice Democrats for not doing our homework about Nancy Pelosi And how he she got that Obama bill Obama bill through like she couldn't even remember the Affordable Care Act So she's someone who's just like an average consumer of political news With that being said I can't give her a pass because she's on this national platform And her views on politics reaches millions of people every single day. So you can't not be educated You can't not form very intelligent Well researched views on politics if you're going to talk about it whoopee I mean think about what she said here Diplomatically if you're trying to keep the lines of communication open and you're trying to keep a flow going I think that's how you do it. You've got to give them a little bit of praise But wait, I thought you said it was bad to praise a dictatorship in any circumstance This is what she said about Bernie. It's a dictatorship. There's nothing groovy about a dictator But when Obama does it well, you know diplomatically speaking maybe we can Let him praise them a little bit because you just want to keep the lines of communication open on top of that She said I'm not arguing about whether he's a monster or not I'm saying to you that what Obama did is what a president is supposed to do So it's fine if Obama does it, but it's not okay if Bernie does it This is hackery to a level that is just brazen and she probably doesn't remember saying that because again I don't think that she has like a core Political ideology or any driving philosophy. She just kind of shoots from the hip and this just shows What a hack she she is but like oh the worst part the worst part was when Joy Behar said they have a hundred percent literacy rate there So everybody gets a free education. Everybody has top-of-the-line medical medical care and everyone is healthy Now when Joy Behar said this did Whoopi Goldberg scream at her for praising a dictatorship No, she nodded along in agreement Medical care so everyone's healthy American politics is exhausting It's exhausting I Missed the times when politics was boring and nothing was happening like in fact Politics should be boring right politics and political systems are functioning well when Things are boring, but in the United States we see this like this isn't just a one-off Whoopi Goldberg isn't uniquely hackish here Everyone in mainstream media is the same way like I just played a clip of Brock Obama and Bernie Sanders saying the same thing about Cuba and how The response has been completely different Bernie Sanders is universally condemned by the media and members of the Democratic Party Establishment even the DNC Tom Perez Their spokesperson came out when they're supposed to remain neutral to condemn basically what Bernie Sanders said But Obama says the same thing crickets not controversial at all So I just I don't even know what to say anymore If you watch the view unironically, please stop you're making yourself a less educated voter because nine times out of ten No 99 times out of 100 if you tune into the view you're going to come away less informed than if you just hadn't watched like there was a study I want to say it was back from 2014-2015 and I wish could remember the university who conducted it But they found that people who watch Fox News are less informed than people who watch no news. I Would guess that the same is true For the view. I mean, what do you get from this? What value can you extract politically? Can you honestly say that you're learning anything? They say the same thing that said on MSNBC and CNN albeit Worse they take it like to the next step and say it in a dumber way somehow and For whatever reason will be Goldberg is always talking about pooping and peeing. She likes to use that it just It's insufferable and the show really like it's bad They need to bring on somebody who is at least mildly mildly intelligent when it comes to politics Like get some diverse opinions because if you truly want the views of normal Americans to be reflected That's the whole point right then bring on a Democratic socialist bring on someone who isn't just going to parrot whatever they hear on MSNBC But I mean that's really asking for too much because at the end of the day all these people hate Bernie Sanders because they have class solidarity They're multi-millionaires what be Goldberg has a lot of money and probably doesn't want her taxes to be raised So she doesn't care that she's being a shameless hack by condemning Bernie for something that she praised Obama for you know It doesn't matter to them Everything boils down to their own self-interest and they know that Bernie would raise their taxes or they just don't care about the poor people In this country who are suffering so they're gonna attack the one person who would actually be a fighter for the working class because it makes them feel better and would you know Produce a better outcome politically for them It's just it's grotesque and I really hope that more people call this out But you know ideally last people will watch it. So this isn't an issue, right? So so last people are getting Uninformed by tuning into the view and hearing them just espouse horrible opinions and look usually it's Megan McCain Who's the worst one and she's still bad, but on this panel will be Goldberg I mean she was by far the worst with how hyperbolic she was in comparing Bernie's remarks to Trump's remark After noxies were carrying tiki torches like Jesus Christ
