I think that, cause you brought up the
the Trump and Bernie
and generally Trump is doing a version of what republicans always do
which is to say that the problems in your life are caused by people outside of this country; scary brown and black people
from all around the world and yellow people, they are all scary and they are gonna come in and take all of our jobs
they are going to invade us they are going to blow us up and all that, uhm...he does a version of what Bernie is doing
which is Bernie says no your problems are caused by the system: by politicians and those in the economy who've rigged things against you
and Trump says something like that, he says that there is no leadership, they are incompetent, they are a mess
and it seems to actually be the sort of distinction that Marco Rubio is trying to make is that, he's saying, they're making mistakes because they don't know what they want to do
or they can't do it. Bernie is saying let's dispel that notion; they know what they want to do;
they want to rig the system and that's what they have done
and so it's, portraying the system as incompetent or portraying the system as perfectly crafted to create the fucked up system we have today
(Jimmy)well I can't wait to see Bernie Sanders make the case against Donald Trump...you know.
(Sanders imitation) "He's one of the guys, he bribes the vote, rigging the system..he bribes the vote I give them money and they do what I want.
do you really think that he's gonna change the system once he gets in? Not gonna happen" (laughter)
(Cenk)now meanwhile if Trump, I'm telling you man think about this for one second
it's Trump versus Hillary Clinton
Trump's gonna say, she's bought, Soros gave her six million dollars
(Jimmy) YES!
all these guys, all the big banks
I'm the populist, I'm the-
(Becca) he's gonna like, take Bernie's argument [(Jimmy) Yes. that's right] and adopt it into his own twisted Voldemort ideology
(John)--and add racism and actual misogyny. (Becca) Yep.
(Cenk) and so now...now, Hillary Clinton might be able to withstand that, because there is a lot of people who hate Trump
and he is so over the top and he has alienated so many people,
(Cenk)but do you want to take that chance? right?
Where as Bernie can diffuse everything he says, oh, everyone else is bought, you're gonna say Bernie Sanders is bought?
you couldn't possibly say that
[multiple interjections] (Jimmy)I'm gonna make a prediction, let me make a quick prediction. Uhhh
Hillary Clinton's email scandal is actually going to come back, and the FBI is gonna do something
and I think she's gonna have to drop out. That is my prediction. (Becca)-Really?
(Cenk)Yeah, so this election, I uh I love to winnow things down I did it earlier just a second ago in the coverage and
its...and...but there's so many curve balls, I mean look at what happened with Scalia tonight
(Cenk)So how is that for a giant giant curve ball (John) -that's true
(Cenk)so there might still be somebody out there who might enter the race who hasn't entered it yet
so we're talking about who is gonna win among the people that are here but you are thinking
we already had New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina [(Becca) -but Bloomberg] and Nevada are around the corner
no, we know who's gonna run [(John) - Howard Dean] No, but
but I mean if Hillary Clinton gets you know indited, it sounds insane right? but it's not insane
(Jimmy)No it's a very [(Cenk) -right?] good possibility that that's gonna happen
(Cenk) Biden [(John) -I have no idea] ,Gore, whoever else can you know, are they gonna jump in
so on the Republican side, it's an epic debacle for the establishment
is Mitt Romney gonna go here I come to the rescue?
He won't come to the rescue but it will be interesting
so this race is, I mean buckle up
might be just at the beginning of this unbelievable madness
(Jimmy) I...I know we dismissed the email thing I'm telling you right now, there is...uhm...there is a guy today, Just real quick, former top Military Intelligence
official in the Obama Admin., is calling for President Hillary Clinton to withdraw from this presidential race over her private---
so lieutenant Gen Michael Flynn from the former defense intelligence agency said on Friday,
that if he had done what Clinton allegedly did, he would be out the door and probably in jail
so he said that today on CNN
so, I'm telling you this is not going, this is bigger than, we've all wanted to dismiss this email thing
but I think, after I read that I think there is something to it--
(John) you might be right, but I think that guy is hardly an objective source
I was reading into him and, no he seems like a guy who hates, he hates Democrats generally, definitely hates Hillary Clinton
he might know something, he admitted later on in that interview that he doesn't know anything in particular about what's gonna happen
but he thinks that considering the general...I don't know I...
(Cenk) look, last thing, here is the nightmare scenario
Hillary Clinton staves off Bernie Sanders
wins the nomination
and then we find out that there is a real scandal about the Clinton global initiative. [(Jimmy)--Right]
where they did do favors for countries that gave a lot of money to the initiative
and some of those were in the emails.
OK. Then we are fucked. Trump does the populist thing, against Hillary Clinton
and she's in enormous *real* trouble, not because hey I emailed to my buddy and I didn't tell (crosstalk) you about it right?
but a real scandal right?
and then if you have that and you got Trump doing the populist thing, oh for gods sake
(Becca) but do you really think... uh...minorities, LGBTQ, I mean latinos, women all those people would, abandon lets just say Hillary
Hillary is the candidate, and...and...would they just not vote? [(Cenk)--No. no I mean look some-].... -i mean wha?
I can't imagine them all being like, well Hillary has this email scandal and no matter how bad it is
I still cannot imagine that they would go vote for the man...
(Cenk) - they wouldn't, they wouldn't, you are, a lot...most of them wouldn't but would the voter turn out get depressed? yes.
(Jimmy) Yes!
(Cenk) and [(Becca) -right] would Trump pick up a ton of independents [(Jimmy) -Yes.] that he normally would not have gotten? YES!
(Becca) --so really we are talking about the independents.
(Cenk) -so then it goes to a 50/50 race where a fascist might become president
so this whole idea that Hillary Clinton is more electable is madness.
(Jimmy) Madness! (John) -dispel it.
(Cenk) (laughing)I want... (Jimmy) -It's madness.
(Cenk) ...to dispel the notion...
that Hillary Clinton and the establishment knows what they are doing, cause they don't know what they are doing
