REPUBLICANS DON'T THINK THEY HAVE A SEXUAL HARASSMENT
PROBLEM.
THEY ALSO THINK DEMOCRATS DO.
THERE IS A NEW POLL OUT THAT FINDS ñ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
>>THIS POLL WAS INTERESTING IF YOU LOOK AT IT.
YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS THAT YOU READ AND IT SEEMS TO
INDICATE THERE IS SORT OF A LOT OF HYPOCRISY WITHIN THE
REPUBLICAN BASE AND NOT AS MUCH IN THE DEMOCRAT BASE.
BUT IF YOU LOOK INTO THE BRASS TACKS AND LOOK THROUGH THE
NUMBERS THERE ARE INTERESTING FIGURES NOT IN THAT SAME POLL IT
SAID 77% OF DEMOCRATS STILL SUPPORT BILL CLINTON DESPITE THE
FACT THAT 68% OF THEM BELIEVE HE PROBABLY OR DEFINITELY
COMMITTED SEXUAL ASSAULT.
THAT MEANS POLITICS IS TRIBAL THESE DAYS.
THERE IS VERY LITTLE PRINCIPLE.
NO ONE STANDS ON ANYTHING.
THEY JUST SORT OF SELF SORTED WITHIN DIFFERENT CAMPS.
>>WHILE TRUE, IT IS SIMPLISTIC.
I DON'T THINK THAT BILL CLINTON COULD SURVIVE THAT NOW.
IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT TO LOOK BACK.
>> AL FRANKEN IS SURVIVING IT.
>>LET'S NOT PRETEND THAT BILL CLINTON WAS ACCUSED OF IS
ANYWAY SIMILAR TO WHAT AL FRANKEN HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF.
AND WE DON'T KNOW IF AL FRANKEN WILL SURVIVE.
I BET HE QUITS BUT I DON'T KNOW.
WE WILL FIND OUT.
IT IS MORE DIFFICULT IN HUMAN NATURE TO GO BACK AND
ASSIGN BLAME AFTER THE FACT.
BILL CLINTON GETS ACCUSED OF WHAT HE GETS ACCUSED OF
NOW, I DON'T THINK HE WOULD SURVIVE IT.
ALTHOUGH IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT THAT UNLIKE EVERY OTHER
CHARGE AGAINST PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT, THAT WAS FUNDED
WHICH DID DRAW INTO QUESTION, THE VERACITY OF SOME OF THE
ACCUSERS.
BUT I STILL DON'T THINK HE WOULD SURVIVE IT NOW.
>> YOU THINK HE SPEAKS TO THE D&C IN 2020?
>>YES.
AS A FORMER PRESIDENT IT PROBABLY TRUMPS THAT.
IT WOULD BE BOLD TO DENY HIM, AND THERE IS ANOTHER LIVING
PRESIDENT, TWO IN FACT.
>> HE'S GOING TO BRING THE HOUSE DOWN.
>> THAT DEFINITELY FACTORS INTO IT.
BUT AS YOU KNOW A NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS HAVE COME OUT AND
SPOKEN THAT THEY WOULD REEVALUATE WHAT BILL CLINTON WAS
ACCUSED OF IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT CLIMATE AND IN A
HOW WE NOW TREAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
>> AND THE ONES YOU CAME OUT STRONGEST ARE RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT POLLS, THIS IS A COUPLE GET A QUESTION
TO LEARN SOMETHING FROM.
THERE IS THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TAKING A POLL WHERE
EVERYONE HAS THEIR GUNS UP.
THIS IS MY CHANCE TO COMMUNITY SOMETHING ABOUT MYSELF AND
SOMEONE IS GOING TO LEARN ABOUT THE COUNTRY FROM THIS AND I'M
ONE OF THE 1200 PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE ASKING.
IT IS MORE SIMPLE TO ASK WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR, WILL BE CAN
DO IS TRY TO FIND CONTROLS AND THINGS TO BALANCE AGAINST
EACH OTHER.
I MISS WHEN THEY ASKED THE SAME QUESTION, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE
DEMOCRATS ARE MORE SELF AWARE OF A PROBLEM AND MORE LIKELY
TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.
>>MY POINT IS THAT THEY ARE AND GENERALLY THEY ADMIT THERE
ARE PROBLEMS.
THE POLL ALSO SAYS THEY SUPPORT AL FRANKEN EVEN THOUGH THEY
DISAGREE WITH WHAT HE DID AND STUFF.
BECOMES ñ WHENEVER THERE IS A POLL ABOUT A CANDIDATE RUNNING
AGAINST A GENERIC REPUBLICAN, THE GENERIC PERSON ALWAYS WINS
BECAUSE ñ
>>THAT IS ONE THING THAT BERNIE SUPPORTERS NEVER GOT.
THERE WAS NEVER A CAMPAIGN RUN AGAINST HIM.
THE CAMPAIGN WOULD'VE BEEN EFFECTIVE, HE MIGHT'VE ONE.
I DON'T KNOW.
THEN THERE WOULD'VE BEEN VERY SPECIFIC THINGS SAID ABOUT
BERNIE THAT ñ ALWAYS WHEN YOU
SAY YOU WANT THIS CORRUPT PERSON
ñ YOU ARE PROJECTING ALL THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THEM.
>> THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO THINGS ñ
>> IT'S INTERESTING, THE NOTION THAT A SEXUAL HARASSMENT PROBLEM
WOULD EXIST INSIDE OF A POLITICAL PARTY IS OF NO MORE
VALUE THAN SAYING TO COFFEE DRINKERS HAVE A SEXUAL
HARASSMENT PROBLEM.
OF COURSE THEY DO, MEN HAVE A SEXUAL HARASSMENT PROBLEM, A FEW
WOMEN, BUT OVERWHELMINGLY MEN.
I IMAGINE HALF OF THEM ARE DEMOCRATS.
THAT DOES NOT MARK WHETHER YOU HAVE A SEXUAL HARASSMENT PROBLEM
OR NOT, THAT ONLY TELLS YOU THAT THERE MAY BE SOME ñ YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO USE THE HYPOCRISY ARGUMENT MORE AGGRESSIVELY
AGAINST ONE PARTY THAN THE OTHER.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT I DID SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT LAST TIME.
>>I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HYPOCRISY.
VERY RARELY THERE IS AN ARGUMENT ñ FIRST OF ALL I THINK
HYPOCRISY TENDS TO MAKE PEOPLE INTERESTING.
IF YOUR HYPOCRISY IS GETTING PEOPLE WHO WERE SINNERS TO
GO TO HELL OR PRISON, THEN IT TURNS OUT YOU ARE GAY, THEN
THAT IS AN INTERESTING HYPOCRISY.
IF YOUR HYPOCRISY IS I SAID THIS THEN, AND I HAVE CHANGED MY
MIND, THAT DOESN'T MATTER.
I CARE ABOUT THE FOR POLITICIANS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
NOT SO MUCH OF WE CATCH YOU IN A MOMENT OF HYPOCRISY.
>> EVEN BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL, WHICH POWER SECTORS IN
SOCIETY DO THEY OWE POWER TO?
IT ALWAYS ENDS UP BEING WHAT THEY END UP DOING.
>> THIS IS AN ARGUMENT I HAVE WITH CENK A LOT.
IN ADDITION TO WHO DO THEY OWE ALLEGIANCE TO HER POWER TO, AND
THEN WHO IS SITTING AT THEIR TABLE?
THAT IS SOMETIMES ALMOST A MORE POWERFUL WAY OF PUTTING IT.
IS OR SOMEBODY FROM THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BOARD?
THAT
MATTERS ALMOST AS MUCH AS ELIZABETH WARREN SAID THAT
PERSONNEL IS POLICY.
WHO IS SITTING DOWN WITH DONALD TRUMP WHEN HE MAKES THESE
DECISIONS?
THE ANSWER FOR TRUMP IS NO ONE WE LIKE.
>>WHAT YOU THINK SHOULD HAPPEN?
>>I THINK YOU SHOULD RESIGN.
THERE IS A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR THAT WOULD JUST REPLACE
THEM WITH ANOTHER DEMOCRAT.
THEY STAND TO GAIN A LOT MORE IF THEY WILL STAND ON ANY SORT OF
PRINCIPLE THEY SHOULD PROBABLY JUST ñ IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ARE
THROWING THE BALANCE OF THE SENATE OFF.
THE STAKES ARE WAY LOWER.
>> I LARGELY AGREE.
>> WHAT IF I LIKE AL FRANKEN'S COMEDY?
>>WE CAN GET INTO A PHILOSOPHICAL DEBATE.
>> IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT AL FRANKEN WILL
RESIGN AND ROY MOORE WILL BE ELECTED TO SENATE.
THEY WILL SEE HIM AND HE WILL BE IN UNITED STATES CTR., AND IN
THREE YEARS HE WILL WIN AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH THE PROPER
ALABAMA REPUBLICAN FIGURE.
MY HUNCH IS ñ
>>THE TREASURER OF ALABAMA AS A DEMOCRAT.
>>I GOT IT, HE SHOULD PROBABLY RESIGN BUT HIS SINS ON THE
LIST OF PEOPLE DON'T COMPARE.
HE IS AT THE LOW END OF THE SPECTRUM.
BUT AS SOON AS YOU HAVE A SPECTRUM IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE
DISMISSING.
>>I THINK ALSO THE PROBLEM WITH AL FRANKEN IS THERE MIGHT
BE MORE COMING OUT.
>> HE SEEMS TO ALMOST SUGGESTED THERE MIGHT BE.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE WORST THING TO DO IS TO HAVE IT LITTLE
BY LITTLE.
AGAIN YOU CAN'T SLOW BLEED IT.
