this February 4th 2020 with Brad Johnson
00:04
about the peculiar events at the Iowa
00:07
caucus I’m gonna tell you I don’t know
00:09
anything about this procedure rather
00:11
than in every election it seems that
00:13
Iowa’s somehow unusually important I
00:16
don’t know why I also know that what
00:19
happens and I was indicative of things
00:21
to come I don’t understand why this is I
00:25
guess is it just a one party thing or I
00:27
guess it’s just decided that the
00:29
Republican side is filled by Trump
00:30
already but I don’t know what’s going on
00:32
but I definitely know that we were all
00:34
expecting the Democrats to pick somebody
00:37
that was a viable frontrunner for their
00:40
party yesterday and that didn’t happen
00:42
can you explain it especially to us poor
00:45
Canucks that just don’t get it
00:47
sure for my kynect friends from the
00:51
Yankee perspective here basically yes
00:55
the reason I was important is because
00:58
it’s first and that’s that’s really the
01:00
main thing and so it’s the it’s the
01:02
first primary and then we have three
01:05
more of this throughout this this month
01:08
and early next it’s such next it’s New
01:11
Hampshire then Arizona than South
01:13
Carolina and then it’s Super Tuesday
01:15
which is a whole bunch of states have
01:18
their primary on that day so the way
01:20
that it works in Iowa is that it’s a
01:21
caucus state which is odd you don’t
01:23
actually vote so it’s by party so the
01:26
Democrats had a democratic caucus and
01:29
what happens is you all show up at a
01:31
location physically whoever goes to
01:33
these shows up and the caucus word
01:37
refers to them grouping by candidate so
01:40
all those that support Bernie Sanders go
01:42
to one corner of the room and all of
01:44
those that support Pete buta Gedge or
01:48
Biden or whoever they go to that corner
01:51
air section of the room and then they
01:53
listen to what’s going on and make their
01:56
final decision and then they vote by
01:58
being in that group so that was done all
02:01
over the state and the different
02:03
counties which there I believe there are
02:05
99 counties in that state and so it’s
02:08
done on those they total all of the
02:10
votes based on what group you ended up
02:11
with
02:12
to be viable and have your votes counted
02:14
that has to represent at least 15% if
02:17
it’s less than 15% if your group is too
02:20
small like Elizabeth Warren has reported
02:24
now we don’t have the results even yet
02:25
and it’s been almost a you know it’s
02:27
been a back pulling clothes last night
02:29
at 8 o’clock and it’s midday here as we
02:32
do this interview so it’s it’s been
02:34
quite a little while and they still
02:36
don’t have the results but Elizabeth
02:37
Warren is reportedly to have done very
02:39
poorly so some of these places for
02:41
example if you can only put together
02:42
what represents people that would
02:44
represents 10 percent of the vote those
02:46
people had to leave and go someplace
02:47
else
02:47
so there was a lot of shifting around
02:49
and that’s one of the quirks of this of
02:52
this type of system that’s the caucus
02:54
system that’s used in Iowa very very
02:56
sort of odd old-fashioned yet sort of a
03:00
neighborly thing to do to go around and
03:01
get into these discussions and decide
03:03
where your vote goes now so that’s only
03:05
for the Democrats parallel to that the
03:07
Republicans also did one there’s only
03:09
one candidate present Trump but he
03:11
filled the house and that’s not being
03:12
reported in the press very much and
03:14
there were a lot of caucus goers that
03:17
came out to support Trump and there was
03:19
no corner to go to for represent a
03:21
different candidate you just were there
03:23
and by being there represented Trump so
03:26
he won Iowa in the last election and it
03:29
looks like he’s showing a strong
03:31
presence there now and is fairly well
03:33
organized and and had a good showing so
03:36
now out of this Iowa caucus that hasn’t
03:39
come out now everybody said the the
03:42
Democratic the head of the Democratic
03:45
Party for the state of Iowa was out in
03:48
interviews the National Committee for
03:50
the Democrats was out yesterday in
03:52
interviews and they were all saying oh
03:53
now
03:53
yeah we’re completely ready this is
03:55
going to go smooth as silk it’s it’s
03:57
everything is prepared now it has not
03:59
it’s been a complete meltdown they
04:01
haven’t come out with the results yet so
04:03
something is clearly wrong they have
04:06
said they were well-prepared technically
04:07
to handle this so something has gone
04:11
wrong now the Sanders people Bernie
04:13
Sanders is we know last time running
04:15
against Hillary Clinton got screwed and
04:19
a lot of information came out about this
04:21
and Hillary Clinton was getting
04:22
questions in advance of the debate
04:24
and they were moving things manipulating
04:26
things around the National Party
04:28
Democratic Party was manipulating the
04:30
situation to make sure that Bernie
04:32
Sanders did not get the nomination I
04:34
just want to jump in at this point and
04:35
say Bernie Sanders is a lot healthier
04:38
than many other people that have
04:40
interfered with Hillary Clinton’s
04:41
political ambitions yes he’s still still
04:44
kickin although he did have a stroke not
04:46
too long ago so the Sanders people have
04:52
already come out and said our internal
04:54
numbers show we did really well here
04:57
here and here and these are some of the
04:59
biggest districts biggest counties most
05:02
populated counties and so when if we’ve
05:04
done really well there you better not
05:06
come out and be saying you know we only
05:08
got two percent of the voter or
05:10
something like that because we know from
05:12
our own numbers we did well here so we
05:14
better see some accurate figures come
05:16
out and we better get them soon and
05:18
nobody’s seen them yet but we’re
05:20
thinking you know we expect to have won
05:22
this so it’s a it’s an interesting thing
05:25
now doesn’t necessarily mean that this
05:27
was shut down by the Democrats in order
05:29
to manipulate the numbers but it doesn’t
05:31
mean it wasn’t either and certainly
05:33
we’ve seen the Democrats just be nothing
05:35
but corrupt I mean everything that
05:37
they’ve done involved in the impeachment
05:39
and all of these things just corrupt
05:41
aspect after corrupt aspect after
05:43
corrupt aspect so again I’m very
05:45
suspicious of why all this is going on
05:47
but the Bernie Sanders people have
05:49
already drawn the line in the sand and
05:51
interestingly enough this would be one
05:53
of those things where the right and left
05:55
would probably agree that you know you
05:57
can’t allow this type of corruption to
05:58
go on and if it doesn’t come out as a
06:00
pretty good showing for Bernie Sanders I
06:02
think you’re gonna I think you’ll have
06:04
meltdown within the Democratic Party big
06:07
loser looks like probably so far Biden
06:11
and you know just hasn’t didn’t do well
06:16
looks like he’s because he’s been kind
06:17
of quiet so it looks like his internal
06:19
numbers show him getting like third
06:21
place or something like that Elizabeth
06:23
Warren doing poorly booting edge thinks
06:25
he’s done well he claimed a victory
06:27
that’s that’s kind of heard of its it’s
06:29
got a little bit viral on the internet
06:31
and people are saying you know what a
06:33
goofball because he claimed oh what a
06:34
fabulous victory for us we want ya now
06:36
one in New Hampshire he had a victory
06:39
speech and the results are still not out
06:41
and he had that speech last night so you
06:44
know that was kind of a silliness thing
06:47
that he did I think it’s part of the
06:48
youth of that particular guy that he
06:50
didn’t have the maturity to play that a
06:52
little bit smarter but you know we’ll
06:54
see as these things go forward the other
06:56
aspect of this and I would link it
06:57
slightly to the impeachment because
07:00
Democrats are faced with problems and
07:02
they need to make something out of all
07:04
of this now impeachment is going to be
07:07
voted on today and it looks pretty
07:09
clearly like he’s going to be fairly
07:11
easily acquitted it looks like the
07:13
Republicans are holding firm and will
07:15
vote in mass two four for acquittal of
07:19
the impeachment and it looks like
07:21
there’s going to be three or so senators
07:23
on the Democrat side that are going to
07:25
go over so it’s going to be a bipartisan
07:27
acquittal that is just really bad news
07:30
for those guys now not the first time
07:33
that anyone has suggested this but
07:35
they’re going to have to find a
07:37
scapegoat somebody’s going to get in
07:39
trouble over this and you know who oh
07:41
who could it be so I think the obvious
07:43
targets you’re going to see the
07:45
mainstream media the liberal mainstream
07:47
media immediately you know want to
07:49
attack someone for it so first on the
07:52
menu I think is probably Adam Schiff and
07:54
he has come out in a speech day before
07:58
yesterday saying well you know we did
08:00
everything that can be done everything
08:02
that was humanly possible and this is
08:03
you know Republicans they’re evil nasty
08:05
people who just aren’t aren’t aren’t
08:07
impeaching the president when we say we
08:09
want to so he’s now already started to
08:12
put out his defense publicly so I think
08:14
he’s going to be the top target Jerry
08:17
Nadler will also probably be targeted
08:20
Jerry Nadler is just such a hapless
08:22
individual not very bright
08:24
just not very professional and just sort
08:26
of a goofball guy that ended up there by
08:28
accident we talked previously about his
08:30
history but he was a guy that had run
08:32
for that seat
08:33
I know multiple times like three times
08:36
at least and had always failed and then
08:38
the guy that was going to go in and win
08:40
the seat died of a heart attack and he
08:42
was the only one left around so that
08:43
that’s that’s how he got pumped into
08:45
that seat and won the position
08:47
has been in Congress ever since so he
08:50
just a hapless individual and I think
08:52
he’s going to be so easy to throw out of
08:56
the boss that that you know he’s going
08:58
to be destroyed
08:59
politically fairly quickly out of this
09:01
mess now I may be wrong on that but they
09:03
may look at it and say well it’s too
09:04
easy to blame him
09:05
because he’s such a schmuck but I think
09:08
Adam Schiff is the guy that’s that’s the
09:10
the bigger target and probably the one
09:12
that they’re gonna try to assign the
09:13
blame to so that this let me just say
09:16
this means nothing in the long run just
09:20
we all knew that this was happening and
09:22
that he was going to eventually be
09:23
acquitted or most people believed it the
09:25
smart money was on acquittal but it’s
09:27
just going to be another thing there’s
09:28
going to be another whistleblower or
09:30
another something else come out right
09:31
after this
09:32
this is what we’re faced with for the
09:34
next five years and it’s never gonna
09:36
stop and even ten years after they’re
09:40
the Democrats are still gonna be
09:41
bad-mouthing Trump we to this day years
09:45
after President Reagan laughed and has
09:48
passed away they’re still out there
09:50
trying to rewrite history and badmouth
09:51
Reagan and say what an evil guy he was a
09:54
terrible president and unfortunately
09:56
this never trump or faction of the
09:58
Republican Party is also on board with
10:00
that and they do the same thing they’re
10:01
bad bad-mouthing Reagan and they’re
10:04
bad-mouthing Trump and they’re gonna be
10:05
doing it out there ten years from now
10:07
along with the Democrats well I just be
10:11
nice I think if Schiff got thrown under
10:13
the bus it would still be easier on him
10:16
than being on the bus at least the ones
10:18
marked road workers go this way so thank
10:22
you very much for that I guess that’s an
10:24
explanation a few days before this event
10:28
there were rumors that Hillary Clinton
10:30
had been maneuvering behind the scenes
10:33
to disenfranchise Bernie Sanders again
10:35
and yes you know I as you said something
10:40
that both conservatives and whatever the
10:43
Democrat Party is now should agree on is
10:45
that that is an unacceptable way to run
10:48
things I I I think Bernie Sanders is a
10:50
dangerous communist but I still think
10:53
that if you if you destroy the
10:55
democratic process to circumnavigate
10:57
them then how are you any better than
11:00
he planned to do so exactly right and I
11:04
say I mean the Democratic Party is never
11:06
gonna allow Bernie Sanders to be the
11:07
candidate and it looks like Bernie
11:08
Sanders has won Iowa he’s gonna do very
11:11
well in New Hampshire he’s going to do I
11:14
don’t know Arizona probably not so well
11:16
but certainly in South Carolina he’s got
11:19
a shot to come back there so if going
11:21
into Super Tuesday he’s won three out of
11:24
four you know he’s starting he’s a he’s
11:29
become a force then to deal with at that
11:31
point so I think I mean I’m suspicious
11:34
of what’s going on now if they’re
11:36
looking at if the Democratic National
11:38
Committee is looking at this gone you
11:40
know oMG whatever what are we gonna do
11:42
here I mean he’s he’s gonna win New
11:44
Hampshire do well in South Carolina
11:46
maybe okay and Arizona he’s it looks
11:48
like he’s won Iowa you know maybe we
11:50
should stop him now uh I don’t know
11:52
we’ll see I mean a lot of people out
11:54
there saying 100 suspicious about this
11:57
it’s just a quirk and they goofed up and
12:01
they weren’t ready and all of this and
12:02
so that’s why we haven’t got the results
12:04
but it would also take the wind out of
12:07
the sails for Bernie if they stall so
12:10
long that he can’t Trump at his victory
12:12
and that happened in fact last time
12:15
if everyone were calls to on the
12:18
Republican side to Ted Cruz and there
12:23
was a number of days after he’d won were
12:26
where they was declared that he won the
12:28
hawk the Iowa primary and and they
12:31
didn’t declare it right away and they
12:33
made some mistakes on the figures and
12:34
three days later or something like that
12:36
that went oops was actually Ted Cruz at
12:38
one that took some wind out of his sails
12:39
it did not help him at all so I mean
12:42
that could be essentially what’s going
12:43
on they’ll they’ll just look back at all
12:45
this and say oh well there was this
12:46
technical glitch that technical glitch
12:48
and Bernie won you know three days late
12:50
but you know he won so okay that that
12:53
may be part of it too whether if that
12:54
happens which would be my personal
12:56
prediction if that happens I would be
12:58
extraordinarily suspicious I would say
13:01
that they’re screwing with Bernie if
13:03
that’s the result but we’ll see and
13:05
certainly we should know I would 24 to
13:08
48 hours well we I can’t imagine them
13:10
installing much past that it’s already
13:12
been a day well if you lecture
13:14
comes down to between president Trump
13:15
and Bernie Sanders you’re gonna see the
13:17
greatest age divide in US history that’s
13:21
everybody under 30 versus everybody over
13:24
thank you go ahead I’ll add one more
13:27
thing I’m sorry there is precedent for
13:30
that when President Reagan ran for his
13:33
reelection and won by 48 or 49 states it
13:38
was also a candidate that had had taken
13:41
the nomination McGovern who was very
13:44
leftist for the time and sort of the
13:47
party said okay fine let’s just give
13:49
this guy his chance but he was very
13:50
left-wing at that time not as far
13:53
left-wing as Bernie Sanders is today but
13:55
very left-wing for his time and they let
13:58
it go forward and so the Democrats have
14:02
not forgotten that and they know they
14:04
got creamed I mean that’s I don’t I
14:07
don’t know how far you’d have to go back
14:09
in history or if ever there’s been a
14:11
time we’re in a real action of president
14:13
1 48 or 49 states but they don’t want
14:16
that humiliation again and if there’s a
14:18
situation of that nature they know that
14:20
they’re gonna lose a lot of House seats
14:22
and and more Senate seats so they cannot
14:25
allow Bernie Sanders to be the nominee
14:28
because they know he will just get a
14:30
shellacking and that just costs them too
14:32
much party wide so it they’ve gotten
14:35
real problem on their hands there’s just
14:36
a real problem that’s I think meltdown
14:39
is in the future I wouldn’t be even
14:41
surprised if this if Bernie continues to
14:43
do well they’re gonna have to try and
14:44
force this into a contested nomination
14:47
process that they’re gonna take care of
14:49
at the convention and try to say it’s
14:51
you know they’re at loggerheads so we
14:53
have to bring in somebody else or
14:54
whoever that will provide some
14:56
opportunities for who knows Bloomberg
14:58
maybe I doubt Hillary but you never know
15:01
I’m sure she dreams of such things but I
15:04
just don’t know definitely they’re
15:06
saying that Michelle Obama is not
15:10
interested in not doing and not going to
15:12
run but she was someone who’d been
15:13
speculated about maybe six eight months
15:15
ago so we’ll see it’s going to be very
15:18
interesting but I against I don’t see
15:20
how this is going to be anything other
15:21
than a bloodbath for the Democrats
15:23
fighting each other
