RECENTLY DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN GETTING TREMENDOUS FLAK
FROM CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATORS AND REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS.
BEFORE IT WAS A LIGHT SPANKING, THEY WOULD JUST SAY HE IS SAYING
THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF LEFT FIELD, EVEN IN REFERENCE TO THAT
SAME COMMENT ABOUT THE JUDGE THAT RULED AGAINST HIM IN TRUMP
UNIVERSITY WHEN HE SAID HE WAS MEXICAN WHEN IN FACT OF COURSE
HE IS AMERICAN.
AND THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED RESIZING HIM.
IN FACT, EARLIER THIS WEEK I DID A SEGMENT ON IT, AND I ASKED
SOMETHING AT THE END OF IT WHICH I NOW MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER.
LET'S WATCH THAT CLIP.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAMELS BACK BROKE ON THAT ONE, I'M GLAD
IT DID.
USE OF MAINSTREAM REPORTERS AND CONSERVATIVE
MEMBERS OF THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC AND PARTY OFFICIALS, AND
YOU SAW FORMER HUGE SUPPORTERS, JOE SCARBOROUGH, NEWT GINGRICH.
CALLING IMMIGRANTS RAPISTS AND CRIMINALS, SAYING HE WILL BAN
ALL MUSLIMS, DOESN'T CARE IF THEY ARE RADICAL OR
FUNDAMENTALIST, RELIGIOUS, NOT RELIGIOUS, BAN 1.6 BILLION
PEOPLE, THE LIST GOES ON.
BUT ON THIS ONE THEY ARE WORKING
EVERYBODY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, VOIL¿, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AGREES
HE IS RACIST.
IT IS INTERESTING TIMING, BUT I WILL TAKE IT, IT IS TRUE.
I WAS WONDERING WHY WAS THIS COMMENT ABOUT THE MEXICAN JUDGE
THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK?
IT SEEMED CURIOUS.
I THINK
I NOW HAVE THE ANSWER AND I SUSPECTED OF COURSE IT DOESN'T
HAVE TO DO WITH THAT COMMENT, IT HAS TO DO WITH OTHER FORCES.
THE
REASON I TELL YOU THAT IS BECAUSE AS I'VE BEEN COVERING
POLITICS FOR 20 YEARS, HERE IS THE ONE, IN THESE DAYS THE ONLY,
THING THAT MOST REPUBLICANS, THEIR DONORS.
THE DONORS AT SOME
POINT VERY RECENTLY DECIDED, WE ARE NOT BUYING THIS DONALD TRUMP
GUY, SO IT IS OKAY, RELEASE THE HOUNDS.
AND TODAY WE HAVE AN
ARTICLE IN USA TODAY THAT MIGHT GIVE US SOME INDICATION OF WHO
IS PULLING THOSE STRINGS.
FIRST, THEY START WITH AN EXPLANATION
OF WHAT DONALD TRUMP PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT CHARLES KOCH AND
THE KOCH BROTHERS AND THE MONEY THEY HAD BEEN GIVING TO HIS
COMPETITORS AT THE TIME IN THE PRIMARIES, HE TWEETED OUT BACK
THEN --
NOW, TODAY WE FIND OUT --
IN OTHER WORDS, TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN IS TRAVELING TO THE
KOCH BROTHERS TO BEG FOR MONEY, AND PERHAPS MERCY.
BECAUSE THEY
ARE THE ONES CALLING THE SHOTS BEHIND-THE-SCENES, AND WHEN THEY
SAY ATTACK TRUMP, TRUMP GETS ATTACKED.
IF THEY SAY LAYOFF OF
TRUMP, MY GUESS IS THEY WILL LAY OFF OF TRUMP.
NOW WE WILL TURN TO CHARLES KOCH TO FIND OUT IF HE REALLY
HAS BEEN AGAINST
TRUMP RECENTLY.
HE SAYS --
IN OTHER WORDS, DONALD TRUMP, [BUFFERING]
AT THE END I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT CHARLES KOCH'S REAL
PRIORITIES ARE, BUT THIS IS HIM SAYING OKAY, WE WILL USE THIS AS
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOU HEEL, DONALD TRUMP.
AND HOW DOES HE DO
THAT?
HE UNLEASHES HIS ATTACK DOGS, NOT ONLY THE REPUBLICAN
POLITICIANS HE HAS BOUGHT, AND EARLIER IN THE WEEK WE LISTED
ALL THOSE FOR YOU, AND SHOWED YOU VIDEO OF ALL OF THEM SAYING
THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS NOW ACTING -- THAT HIS COMMENTS WERE
TEXTBOOK RACISM ACCORDING TO PAUL RYAN, ALSO TAKING HUGE
AMOUNTS OF MONEY FROM THE KOCH BROTHERS.
NOW WE GO TO HIS
ATTACK DOGS IN THE PRESS, NAMELY JOE SCARBOROUGH.
SCARBOROUGH HAS
BEEN HITTING HIM DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY, EARLIER HE SAID THIS
IS THE TYPE OF THING THAT NAZIS DO.
WOW.
TODAY HE DID IT AGAIN,
WATCH.
IF THEY EMBRACE A RACIST TO HILLARY, THEY LOSE TO HILLARY
AND THEY LOSE THE PARTY.
THEY MUST HATE HER THAT MUCH.
LISTEN TO ME GUYS, YOU EMBRACE A GUY MAKING RACIST COMMENTS --
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY THIS?
BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID.
LOSE THE PRESIDENCY.
AND THEN YOU
LOSE THE SENATE AND YOU LOSE THE HOUSE, AND THEN WE SMALL
GOVERNMENT CONSERVATIVES, WE ARE SCREWED BECAUSE YOU HAVE
DESTROYED OUR PARTY BECAUSE YOU ARE RUNNING SCARED.
STOP RUNNING
SCARED.
YOU GOT TO STAND UP TO DONALD TRUMP AND SAY, PROVED TO
US THAT YOU DESERVE OUR SUPPORT.
AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, THEN MAYBE
WE WILL CONSIDER GIVING YOU OUR ENDORSEMENT BACK, BUT RIGHT NOW,
WILLIE, THEY ARE RUNNING SCARED AND DONALD SMELLS IT SO WE CAN
SAY WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS TO SAY.
AND HE SEES THEM AS WEAK
COWARDS UNLESS THEY START STANDING UP TO HIM RIGHT NOW AND
THEY TAKE THEIR PARTY BACK.
DONALD TRUMP NEEDS THEM MORE THAN 80 DONALD TRUMP.
NOW HE IS YELLING AT THE REST OF THE REPUBLICANS, MAKE SURE
YOU CALL DONALD TRUMP RACIST.
I COULD KEEP GOING ALL NIGHT LONG, I WILL GIVE YOU ONE
MORE SCARBOROUGH CLIP AGAINST TRUMP.
HOW DO YOU ENDORSE, PAUL RYAN, A MAN THAT SUPPORTS THE BANNING
OF 1.4 BILLION MUSLIMS FROM EVER ENTERING THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA?
YOU MAKE THEM BACK DOWN, THAT IS WHAT I WAS HOPING,
THAT PERHAPS WE COULD PUT PRESSURE ON HIM TO BACK DOWN AND
CHANGE THAT POLICY.
INSTEAD, AL, HE HAS DOUBLE DOWN, AND NOW IT
IS PEOPLE WHO HAVE WHAT, 1/16 MEXICAN BLOOD, MAYBE YOU CAN'T
BE A JUDGE?
WHAT YEAR IS THIS?
IT'S AMAZING.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, HE IS GETTING WORSE.
I'VE LITERALLY GOT HALF A DOZEN OF THOSE CLIPS FROM THIS
WEEK ALONE WHERE JOE SCARBOROUGH IS GOING BALLISTIC ON TRUMP.
AND
BY THE WAY, WHEN TRUMP FIRST PROPOSED A MUSLIM MAN, IT IS NOT
LIKE SCARBOROUGH WENT BALLISTIC THEN.
HE DECIDED TO GO BALLISTIC
TODAY, WHICH IS INTERESTING.
SO WHO IS PULLING THE STRINGS ON
SCARBOROUGH?
IN THE PAST WE HAVE REPORTED THAT SCARBOROUGH AND
MIKA HAVE GONE TO KOCH GATHERINGS AND BEEN TREATED VERY
WELL THERE AND HAVE COME BACK RAVING ABOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS,
THEY DID AN INTERVIEW WITH CHARLES KOCH WHICH WAS -- IF YOU
THOUGHT THERE INTERVIEWS WITH TRUMP WERE SOFTBALLS, GET A LOAD
OF THEIR INTERVIEW WITH KOCH.
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT,
LISTEN TO SOME OF THE THINGS SCARBOROUGH SAID ON THE AIR
ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR THE KOCH BROTHERS.
IF SOMEBODY THINKS THAT A VOTER IN RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
THAT IS OUT OF WORK GIVES A DAMN ABOUT WHO IS FINANCING 30 SECOND
ADS, THEY ARE TOO STUPID TO BE IN POLITICS.
CALLING THESE TWO BROTHERS UN-AMERICAN, THERE ARE A LOT OF
LIBERALS IN NEW YORK CITY WHO WOULD DISAGREE.
THERE ARE A LOT
OF LIBERALS IN NEW YORK CITY THAT APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVE
DONE ON CANCER RESEARCH AND APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE
WITH THE LINCOLN CENTER, WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH THE ARTS.
IT IS PRETTY REMARKABLE.
THERE AREN'T MANY MUSEUMS OR CONCERT HALLS YOU CAN WALK
INTO IN MANHATTAN THAT DON'T HAVE THEIR NAMES ON THE
SIDE THAT BANQUETS OR HOSPITALS.
CANCER RESEARCH, ETC.
TO YOU ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH HARRY REID'S REMARKS THAT THIS
MAN IS UN-AMERICAN?
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WORD UN-AMERICAN,
SENATOR.
YOU THINK DAVID KOCH IS UN-AMERICAN?
I'M ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION HERE.
I KNOW, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO IT.
TO YOU THINK DAVID KOCH IS UN-AMERICAN OR SHOULD HARRY
REID APOLOGIZE?
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT OUR WEEKEND.
WHAT'S IT WAS AWESOME, SO FASCINATING.
WE WENT TO PALM SPRINGS WHERE CHARLES AND DAVID KOCH HAVE
THEIR WINTER MEETING, JOHN CALLS OUT THERE AS WELL, WE SAW A LOT
OF POTENTIAL CANDIDATES RUNNING AROUND, IT IS A PRETTY
REMARKABLE EVENT.
I SAT AND TALKED TO CHARLES A GOOD BIT,
CHARLES KOCH A GOOD BIT, HE WAS UPSET WITH INCOME DISPARITY IN
CRONY CAPITALISM.
ANYBODY WHO THINKS THAT THEY ARE LOYAL,
FAITHFUL REPUBLICANS HAVE NEVER TALKED TO THEM FROM ONE OF
THREE MINUTES.
THEY ARE LIBERTARIANS.
THEY LOATHE -- EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SAY THIS TO ME, THEY
HAVE NO USE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO OUT AND HAVE THESE HUGE,
BLOODIED BATTLES ON SOCIAL ISSUES.
THEY ARE ANTIESTABLISHMENT.
THEY ARE, AND THE FIRST THING CHARLES SAID TO BE WHAT HE SAW
ME WAS, HE PICKED OUT A SPECIFIC REPUBLICAN BILL.
I SAID HOW ARE
THINGS GOING?
HE SAID, LOOK WHAT THEY'RE PASSING IN WASHINGTON.
THEY ARE GIVING TAX SUBSIDIES TO HOLLYWOOD, TAX SUBSIDIES TO WALL
STREET, TAX -- I MEAN, THIS GUY IS WHAT MY GOOD BUDDY CHARLIE
HILTON WOULD CALL A TRUE BELIEVER, AND HE'S GOT NO USE
FOR REPUBLICANS THAT SUPPORT CORPORATE WELFARE, NO USE FOR
DEMOCRATS.
IT'S PRETTY REMARKABLE.
YEAH, PRETTY REMARKABLE.
HE IS A TRUE BELIEVER.
OH MY GOD, HE
IS SO PRINCIPLED.
NOT EVEN NECESSARILY A REPUBLICAN.
HE HAS
GIVEN HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS,
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, HE HAS SINGLE-HANDEDLY DEFEATED MORE
DEMOCRATS THAN PROBABLY ANY PERSON IN AMERICAN HISTORY --
NOT NECESSARILY A REPUBLICAN.
HE IS SO UNBIASED, CHARLES KOCH IS
SUCH A LOVELY HUMAN BEING.
HE HAS ALL THE MONEY.
BY THE WAY,
WE TALK ABOUT HOW DONALD TRUMP IS A SUPPOSEDLY -- SEE, IF
DONALD TRUMP WAS HALF AS RICH AS HE IS PRETENDING TO BE, THEY
WOULD BE KISSING HIS ASS AND HE WOULD BE CALLING THE SHOTS.
THE
KOCH BROTHERS ARE ACTUAL BILLIONAIRES AND YOU CAN TELL
WHO HAS POWER AND MONEY BY HOW THE REST OF THE PUNDITS AND
POLITICIANS ON THE RIGHT WING REACT TO THEM, AND WHEN THEY SEE
THE KOCH BROTHERS, WHOO, THEY HEEL.
SO WHAT DO THE KOCH
BROTHERS WANT, AND WHY HAVE THEY SEND THEIR MINIONS OUT TO ATTACK
TRUMP?
THEY CLAIM, THIS IS IN THE USA TODAY ARTICLE, THERE ARE
FOUR THINGS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN.
I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS THE
MOST RELEVANT.
THEIR LIST IS SUPPORT FOR FREE TRADE, WHICH
DONALD TRUMP IS AGAINST, FREE-SPEECH, MEANING DON'T
BETTER THE PRESS, A LOT OF THEM SPEAK AND REPORT ON YOU,
CORPORATE WELFARE, THINGS LIKE THE EXPORT/IMPORT BANK, WHICH
DONALD TRUMP I SUSPECT WOULD BE OPPOSED TO, SO THEY SHOULD AGREE
ON THAT THEORETICALLY.
BY THE WAY IN REALITY THE KOCH BROTHERS
LEFT CORPORATE WELFARE WHEN IT COMES TO KOCH INDUSTRIES.
AND
TRYING TO FIND COMMON GROUND WITH PEOPLE, BECAUSE THE KOCH
BROTHERS WHO HAVE BOUGHT NEARLY HALF THE POLITICIANS IN THE
COUNTRY AND DEVASTATED THE OTHER HALF WITH ONE ATTACK AD AFTER
ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER, THEY JUST WANT TO FIND COMMON GROUND.
I
DON'T REMEMBER THEIR CAMPAIGNS TO END RACISM EARLIER, REMEMBER
THEIR CAMPAIGNS FOR VOTING RIGHTS ACT, REMEMBER ANY OF
THAT.
NO, THE REAL INTERESTS OF THE KOCH BROTHERS ARE GIVE ME
LOWER TAXES, AND DONALD TRUMP, THEY CAN'T READ HIM.
AT FIRST HE
SAID I WILL INCREASE TAXES ON THE RICH, THAT HE REALIZED IN
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY MAYBE THAT DOESN'T PLAY WELL.
DON'T
WORRY, I WILL GIVE THE RICH TREMENDOUS TAX CUTS.
AND AT THAT
POINT EVERYBODY EASED UP.
IF YOU NOTICE, THE ATTACKS ABATED IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.
EVERYONE IS LIKE, HE IS
FINE.
THAT HE PIVOTS IN THE GENERAL ELECTION AND SAYS HE
WILL RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE COME
AND ONSLAUGHT OF ATTACKS ON DONALD TRUMP FROM THE REPUBLICAN
SIDE.
AND THE FIRST THING THEY MENTIONED, SUPPORT FOR FREE
TRADE, THAT IS THE KOCH BROTHERS SAYING, DONALD, YOU ARE NOT
GETTING IT.
WHERE THE BUSINESS INTERESTS, UNLIKE YOU WE RUN
BUSINESSES, WE WILL DO FREE TRADE AND THAT WILL GIVE OUR
CORPORATIONS GIANT, UNFAIR BENEFITS.
THAT IS THE DEAL.
IF
YOU DON'T DO THAT DEAL, NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT GET OUR MONEY, BUT
YOU GET OUR WRATH.
AND THEY ASKED CHARLES KOCH, HEY, THE
IDEA OF YOU GUYS POSSIBLY COMING AROUND AND ENDORSING HIM, THEY
ASKED, IS THAT LIKELY TO HAPPEN?
QUOTE, NO, BUT WE WANT TO BE
OPEN.
IN OTHER WORDS, DONALD, WHAT DO THE KOCH BROTHERS WANT?
COME AND SEE.
KISS MY RING AND THEN MAYBE WE WILL HAVE A
CONVERSATION.
AND IT APPEARS NEXT WEEK DONALD TRUMP MIGHT
KISS THE RING.
AT THIS POINT IT IS REPORTED THAT HE NEEDS $1
BILLION TO RUN AN EFFECTIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST HILLARY
CLINTON, WITHOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS OR THESE MAJOR
INVESTORS IT LOOKS LIKE AT BEST HE WILL ONLY RAISE $300 MILLION,
WHICH MEANS HE WON'T BE ABLE TO RUN ANYWHERE NEAR THE ADS
HILLARY CLINTON WILL, AND HE WON'T HAVE STAFF ON THE GROUND
IN IMPORTANT SWING STATES THAT HE NEEDS TO WIN.
SO THERE MIGHT
BE A DEAL TO BE HAD HERE.
WE WILL KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE, IF
THEY HAVE THE MEETING WE WILL SEE IF DONALD TRUMP'S POSITIONS
CHANGE AND WE WILL SEE IF HE THEN THAT ONLY GETS THE MONEY,
BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS AND PUNDITS TURNED
BACK AROUND AND GO DONALD IS NOT SO BAD.
DID WE SAY NOT SEE OR
RACIST OR BIGOT?
NO, NOT SO BAD, HE HAS LEARNED, HE BECOME A
BETTER POLITICIAN, HE IS MORE ON POINT.
THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF
THINGS THEY WILL SAY IF TRUMP AND THE KOCH BROTHERS STRIKE A
DEAL.
BUT UNDERSTAND THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE
SCENES TO CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS AND OUR GOVERNMENT.
