POLITICO WITH YET ANOTHER ARTICLE THAT IS FURTHERING
ESTABLISHMENT CONVENTIONAL WISDOM.
WELL, COULDN'T HAVE GUESSED THAT.
SO THIS IS THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK, AND THIS IS WHAT
THEY DO EVERY TIME.
BY DAY, I DON'T MEAN POLITICO.
I'VE SEEN THIS AT THOUSAND TIMES IN THE ESTABLISHMENT PRESS.
THE MIDDLE THAT PROGRESSIVES GET ANY DEGREE OF STRENGTH OR
ANY WINDS AND NOW WE HAVE THE MOST POPULAR POLITICIAN IN
THE COUNTRY ON OUR SIDE, THAT IS BERNIE SANDERS.
THEY HAVE TO RIP HIM DOWN AND THEY HAVE TO SAY, HEY,
PROGRESSIVES, DON'T GET ANY SMART IDEAS.
THE COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO GO IN YOUR DIRECTION IN THE
SO-CALLED OBJECTIVE MEDIA IS GOING TO HELP PUSH OUT THIS
IDEA FOR THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT.
THIS IS WRITTEN BY ALAN GLENN BUD.
THE TITLE OF THE PIECE IS: THIS IS THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA PUTS ALL THE TIME.
2 THINGS THEY SAY THAT MAKES NO SENSE AND ARE COMPLETELY
ANTIQUATED.
ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL, TIP O'NEILL SAID THAT.
CONGRATULATIONS THAT YOU REMEMBER THAT QUOTE THE
EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD USES AND IT'S NOT REMOTELY TRUE.
ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL WHEN HE SAID IN THE 1970S WHEN EVERYONE
READ THEIR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS AND THERE WAS NO INTERNET.
ALL POLITICS IS NOT LOCAL NOW.
IT IS NOT REMOTELY LOCAL.
THAT IS JUST A STATEMENT YOU SAY BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
ACTUALLY ANALYZED ANYTHING, AND THEN THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY
WHEN IT COMES TO PROGRESSIVES GAINING ANY STRENGTH.
REMEMBER MCGOVERN.
YES, WE ALL KNOW.
THAT WAS 1972.
THAT WASN'T 45 YEARS AGO, HE DID ANOTHER SOUND LIKE IT WAS
THOUGHT THAT WAS 1 MILLION YEARS AGO WHEN THE COUNTRY WAS
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BUT NONETHELESS THEY SAY THE
PARTY'S PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, THE ULTRALIBERAL SENATOR IS
MCGOVERN OF SOUTH DAKOTA WENT ON TO LOSE 49 STATES AND ONE
OF THE MOST WAS THAT EVICTING FOR AN AMERICAN HISTORY.
RIVER THAT 1972 WHEN MCGOVERN LOST TO NIXON?
I KNOW, YOU REMIND ME EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY TIME THAT ANY
PROGRESSIVE HAS ANY MOMENTUM, MERTON GOVERNED, MCGOVERN.
1972, ARE YOU KIDDING NOW TO BE FAIR TO GREENBLATT HERE, HE DID
HAVE ONE QUOTE THAT AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS A
DIFFERENT COUNTRY.
HE SAID:
SO THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES IT COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT THAN 1972 SO WHEN NIXON TALKED ABOUT THE
SILENT MAJORITY, THEY WERE IN FACT THE MAJORITY.
I WONDER IF THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH WINNING ALL OF
THE SELECTIONS?
AND IN ALL OF THESE ARTICLES IN ALL THE ANALYSIS THEY NEVER
TALK ABOUT HOW MCGOVERN WATCHED HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK
AND THAT THAT MADE A GIANT DIFFERENCE SO THEY JUST
SAY, OH NO, HE WAS LIBERAL AND PEOPLE DON'T LIKE LIBERALS.
HE MENTIONS THE DEMOGRAPHICS.
WHAT HE DOESN'T MENTION IS THE POLLING AND WHAT THE
COUNTRY ACTUALLY THINKS THAT'S A DON'T WORRY GUYS, I HAVE
THAT FOR YOU AND I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU BECAUSE
APPARENTLY THE ESTABLISHMENT PRESS CANCEL LOOKUP FACTS
SO I'M GOING TO HELP THEM.
NOW HE GOES ON TO QUOTE PEOPLE THAT ARE PART OF THE OLDER
GENERATION OF DEMOCRATS WHO WERE LIKE OH MY GOD, DON'T EVER
RUN A LIBERAL.
HERE IS FREDRIK LOGEVALL WHO APPARENTLY IS A HISTORIAN
OF SORTS, STILL SUCK IN THE VIETNAM ERA.
TO BE FAIR YOU ARE HISTORIAN AND YOUR JOB IS TO COVER AGE IN
HISTORY AND THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING BUT THAT IS AN EASY
WAY TO PANIC PEOPLE.
THAT WAS 1972.
HERE'S ANOTHER PERSON, LAWRENCE JACOBS, SAME IDEA.
NO, WE WERE AGGRIEVED WAY BEFORE DONALD TRUMP 1.
AS NAOMI KLEIN JUST TOLD ME AN INTERVIEW I DID EARLIER
TODAY, SHE SAID IF WE GO BACK TO BEFORE DONALD TRUMP, WHICH
IS WHAT THE DEMOCRAT ESTABLISHMENT WANTS, LET'S
GO BACK TO WHEN TIMES WERE NORMAL.
NO, THAT'S WHEN TIMES WERE SO BAD WE WANT UP ELECTING
DONALD TRUMP.
BUT IS NOT A POSITIVE TIME TO GO BACK TO.
BUT IT IS NOT JUST BASED ON THAT, IT IS ABOUT REALITY
THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT IS IN FACT READING THE SYSTEM
AGAINST THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.
THE MINIMUM WAGE OF $7.25 AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
THAT IS INSANE.
IT HASN'T KEPT UP WITH INFLATION, OR ANYTHING IN THE
NEW TELL ME BECAUSE GIANT DONORS ARE PUTTING MONEY IN AND THEY
LIKE LOWER WAGES, THEY LIKE DEREGULATION, THEY LIKE LOWER
TAXES BUT YOU WERE TELLING ME IT IS A COINCIDENCE THEY GET
EVERYTHING THEY WANT AND THEN YOU TELL IT RADICALIZATION
TO SAY HEY, MAYBE WE SHOULD LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY WHERE THE
VOTERS MATTER INSTEAD OF THE DONORS.
BY THE WAY, I AM NOT ALONE ON THIS.
93% OF AMERICANS THINK THAT THE POLITICIANS REPRESENT THEIR
DONORS INTERESTS OVER THERE VOTERS INTERESTS.
OVER NINE IN 10 AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE THAT KIND
OF FUNDAMENTAL CORRUPTION BUT NOT IN WASHINGTON, NOT IF YOU
ARE A REPORTER OR A HISTORIAN OR POLITICAL SCIENTIST.
THEY ARE ALL LIKE, THAT IS RADICAL.
RADICAL TO SAY THAT THESE GUYS ARE SELLOUTS TO WORK FOR DONORS.
THAT WAY NEVER SEEN ON TELEVISION.
I'M GOING TO GET THE NUMBERS AGAIN IN A SECOND SO BEAR
WITH ME AS I GIVE YOU ONE MORE MADDENING QUOTE FROM THE
AUTHOR HERE.
THIS IS HIM, HE IS NOT QUOTING ANYONE ELSE.
BECAUSE IF YOU LIVE IN WASHINGTON, THE POLITICAL
CENTER OF GRAVITY IS CENTER-RIGHT.
AND THE RIGHT WING IS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE
DEMOCRATS, IF THEY HAVE ENOUGH SENSIBLE ABOUT THEIR HEADS
AND LISTEN TO THEM.
IS IT ACTUALLY TRUE?
NO, IT IS NOT REMOTELY TRUE; NUMBER OF POLES FOR YOU.
EXPENDING SOCIAL SECURITY.
NOT CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH IS WHAT THE SO-CALLED
MODERATES WANT TO DO IN WASHINGTON, NO.
EXPENDING SOCIAL SECURITY IS SUPPORTED BY 72% OF AMERICANS.
GIANT ADVANTAGE THERE.
RAISING TAXES ON THE RICH, 52% OF AMERICANS SUPPORTED.
THEY DON'T SUPPORT CUTTING TAXES THEY SUPPORT RAISING TAXES
ON THE REST IF YOU THINK THAT IS A RADICAL POSITION THEN YOU
JUST CALL THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS RADICAL.
INCREASING MILITARY SPENDING BY CUTTING STATE AND EPA FUNDING.
NO, AMERICANS DON'T WANT IT.
THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE NEPA FUNDING THEN MILITARY SPENDING.
THEY 58% OPPOSE THAT.
THAT IS A DIAMOND OR MAJORITY SAYING NO, I DON'T WANT
MORE MILITARY SPENDING TIME WOULD RATHER HAVE
ENVIRONMENTAL SPENDING BUT YOU WILL NEVER SEE THAT IN A
MAINSTREAM PUBLICATION.
AND CNN POLLS, THEY NEVER EVEN QUOTE THEIR OWN POLL.
THEY MENTIONED AT THE FIRST TIME HE CAME OUT AND THEY GOING
TO HAVE ALL OF THEIR PUNDITS JUST LIKE POLITICAL AND
EVERYONE ELSE GO OUT AND GO THE COUNTRY LAST DEFENSE SPENDING.
IT'S JUST NOT TRUE BUT THEY SAY ANYWAY.
RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE TO 10 THAT $10.10.
THAT IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY 66% OF THE AMERICANS.
ONLY 26% OPPOSE IT.
2/3 OF THE COUNTRY SAYS FOR GOD SAKES, AND RAISE THE
MINIMUM WAGE.
TO EVER SEE THAT ON TV OR POLITICAL?
KNOW THEY CALL THAT RADICAL THAT YOU ARE CALLING TWO THIRDS
OF THE COUNTRY RADICAL.
WHO IS ACTUAL RADICAL?
MY PROPOSAL IS THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT WASHINGTON
WHETHER IT'S THE MEDIA, OR THE REPUBLICANS, OR THE
DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT, YOU ARE THE TRUE RADICALS
BECAUSE YOU REPRESENT A TINY PERCENTAGE OF THE COUNTRY.
THE DONORS I GIVE MONEY TO THOSE PARTIES AND THE ONES THAT ALSO
PUT ADS IN YOUR PUBLICATIONS AND ON YOUR TELEVISION SETS.
WHAT YOU THINK OF THE POLITICAL ADVERTISING GOES TO?
BECAUSE THE TELEVISION, CABLE NEWS AND A LOT OF THESE
ESTEEMED PUBLICATIONS INSIDE OF WASHINGTON.
SO THEY ARE INCENTIVIZED TO CALL TWO THIRDS OF THE COUNTRY
RADICAL WHEN IN REALITY, THEY REPRESENT THAT TINY
PERCENTAGE WHO WANT TAX CUTS FOR THE REGIMEN OF THE REST OF
THEM DON'T WANT IT, THEY WANT MORE DEFENSE CONTRACTORS ETC.,
BUT I'M NOT DONE YET WITH THE POLLS BECAUSE WE ARE RIGHT
AND YOU ARE WRONG.
MEDICARE FOR ALL.
60% SUPPORTED.
THAT IS RADICAL?
60% OF THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS IT.
HE JUST CALLED IT RADICAL, SAID THAT IS NOT THE CENTER OF
GRAVITY IN THE COUNTRY.
WELL, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY WRONG ON THE NUMBERS.
OKAY.
IMMIGRATION REFORM.
90% SUPPORT PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP ACCORDING TO CNN.
YOU GET ESSENCE IN ETERNITY BE?
WHEN YOU READ POLITICO?
GAY MARRIAGE, 64% SUPPORTED.
LEGALIZING MARIJUANA, WHAT GETS LEFT ON WASHINGTON.
61% OF THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS IT.
YOU ARE WRONG AND WE ARE RIGHT.
NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERING OPINIONS, WE ARE RIGHT
ABOUT WHERE THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY IS.
IT'S BASED ON NUMBERS, IT'S BASED ON STATISTICS, IT'S
BASED ON SCIENCE AND NOW, YOU WILL LARRY IS A SEE THE
ESTABLISHMENT PRESS THAT ARE AGGRIEVED BY US POINTING
OUT FACTS TURNAROUND AND GO PULLING.
EVEN THOUGH THEY USE PULLING 1000 TIMES,
1000 THOUSAND TIMES AND THEY'VE YELLED THAT REPUBLICAN
SOMETIMES THE QUESTION THE POLLING.
THEY WILL NOW GO POLLING, YOU CAN'T TRUST PULLING.
YOU'RE JUST CHERRY PICKING.
CHERRY PICKING?
I JUST SHOWED YOU ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ISSUE.
HERE, YOU CHERRY PICK.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND POLLS THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN THIS.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE AVERAGE OF POLES ON THIS ISSUE.
WE ARE RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG.
YOU ARE THE RADICAL.
YOU REPRESENT THE TINY MINORITY, WE REPRESENT THE MAJORITY.
IT IS NOT 1972.
IT'S THE YEAR 2017
AND PROGRESSIVES WILL WIN AND WE WILL GET OUR IDEOLOGY THAT
ACTUALLY MATCHES THE TRUE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY.
AND I KNOW, YOU'RE NEVER EVER GOING TO WRITE THAT,
BECAUSE IT IS NOT THAT ALAN GREENBLATT IS A BAD GUY.
COURSE NOT, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET THE WRONG IDEA THIS
POLITICAL SCIENTIST, THEY ARE NOT BAD GUYS THERE JUST
INSIDE THE BUBBLE AND THEY CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT.
I WAS JUST IN WASHINGTON, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GO THERE.
EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON THINKS THE ESTABLISHMENT IS AWESOME.
AND THINGS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE SAME AND ANYONE WHO
DOESN'T AGREE THAT WE SHOULD GIVE ALL THE MONEY TO
DEFENSE CONTRACTORS, ALL THE MONEY FOR THE OIL COMPANIES, ALL
OF THE MONEY TO THE BANKS, AND CRUSH THE WAGES AND DO ALL THE
OTHER THINGS, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT IS A RADICAL.
RADICAL.
POPULIST, OH MY GOD.
THE COUNTRIES WITH US AND YOU WONDER WHY POLITICIANS POLL
SO LOW AND WHY THE MEDIA POLLS SO LOW.
IT'S PARTLY THE REPUBLICAN ATTACKS OF COURSE, YOU HAVE
TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT, BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING.
THEY SLEEP BETTER AT NIGHT BY SAYING NO, IT IS UNFAIR
REPUBLICAN ATTACKS.
NO, THE REST OF THE COUNTRY DOES NOT TRUST THE ESTABLISHMENT
PRESS BECAUSE THEY ARE CORRECT.
BECAUSE THAT PRESS KEEPS LYING TO THEM OVER AND OVER
AGAIN, TELLING THEM THINGS THAT ARE NOT TRUE EVEN THOUGH
THEY ARE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS TRUE.
WE ARE SICK OF IT.
YOU THINK YOU ARE CUTE AND YOU ARE FOOLING PEOPLE.
THE ONLY PERSON YOU ARE FOOLING HONESTLY IS YOURSELF
BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO BELIEVE IT IN WASHINGTON.
THEY THINK THAT THE COUNTRY IS CENTER RIGHT AND THAT WE'D
ALL BE BETTER OFF IF WE JUST DID WANT THE DONORS WANTED.
THE REST OF US ARE IN OPEN REVOLT OF THAT.
WE CANNOT STAND THAT ANYMORE, SO WHO IS RIGHT, WHO IS WRONG?
WE WILL SEE WHAT THE NEXT ELECTION.
AND ALL OF THE CRYING ISN'T GOING TO PREVENT
PROGRESSIVE PRIMARIES.
WE'RE GOING TO PRIMARY THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THEM BECAUSE
THIS IS WHAT'S KILLING THE COUNTRY.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH IT ANYMORE, AND
THIS ISN'T 1972.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN.
YOUNG TURKS.
