Jeff Bezos is buying mansions to impress his girlfriend<\/a>. Well, he is. You take a look at the transformation of Bezos. When he started Amazon, he was a nerd. He was a warehouse geek nerd wearing too-large khakis and everything else.<\/p>\nHe gets married. His wife\u2019s name is MacKenzie. Her parents live near here. Nice people. He scores big with Amazon, huge — and everybody knows what happens. He buys the Washington Post, and then starts having an affair with some Hollywood type, and that\u2019s it — divorce — and here he comes buying the Jack Warner estate, buying yachts, all these other houses, dressing like you\u2019re a hipster on the red carpet. Bezos is spending his money on a woman.<\/p>\n
Bloomberg is spending his money trying to get rid of Donald Trump. I\u2019m gonna tell you: I\u2019m already hearing from people who are sick and tired of Bloomberg ads, where they live. We got a guy on hold here who\u2019s gonna talk about that. Bloomberg is just smothering people with TV ads. Now, among the things that Bloomberg has talked about — and, folks, look. I\u2019m gonna mention this again. This is not insignificant.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a guy who ostensibly, theoretically is running for president. But he still has to get delegates. He still has to do the things that anybody wanting the Democrat nomination is gonna have to do. He\u2019s gonna have to win some primaries to win delegates. He\u2019s gonna have to do well on Super Tuesday. He hasn\u2019t done anything yet but buy a bunch of political ads, and since people are fascinated by billionaires, the Drive-Bys are examining him and reporting on him as though he is something special and unique.<\/p>\n
I think there is a large myth surrounding wealthy people, and the myth is that they are smarter than everybody else. Now, I don\u2019t deny that they may be brilliant in a particular area that worked out where they created their wealth. I\u2019m not trying to impugn anything there. But look, they\u2019re just like actors and Hollywood people. They don\u2019t know what they don\u2019t know. But their wealth gives them license to pretend they know all kinds of things, and I think… Here\u2019s Michael Bloomberg.<\/p>\n
Now, he used to be a Democrat, then becomes a Republican after Giuliani to get elected mayor of New York. Now, what did the guy do? Among many things, what did he do? He starts running a Nanny State. He starts putting a limit on the size of soft drinks New Yorkers can buy. Why that didn\u2019t disqualify him immediately as one of the greatest encroachments of personal liberty and freedom, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
And then after putting limits on the size of soft drinks, then he started talking about banning certain kinds of soft drinks that had things in there that he didn\u2019t like, like sugar or aspartame or whatever. This is not smart stuff. Then when I heard him talk about the dictator of the ChiComs, Xi Jinping, as (paraphrased) “having to satisfy his constituents like any other politician. He can\u2019t go crazy. He can\u2019t do things that are going to cause problems with his constituents because he\u2019s like all of us; he has to answer to his constituents.”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-051519-China.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Xi Jinping especially has set himself up as Mao Tse-tung Jr. Xi Jinping has essentially taken over the Communist Party apparatus. He is attempting to become the most powerful dictator in China since Mao. He doesn\u2019t have “constituents”! He doesn\u2019t care about “constituents.” He doesn\u2019t get elected. He takes out — he kills, like other communists do — any potential rival or enemy within the Communist Party. Now, there\u2019s a downside to doing that, though, and Mr. Xi Jinping is discovering it now.<\/p>\n
When you set yourself up as the authority, when you are the lone powerbroker and something like the coronavirus happens, it\u2019s all on you, buddy. There\u2019s nobody left to blame because you\u2019ve taken out all of your rivals. You can\u2019t go blame the Republicans, per se, because you\u2019ve killed them. You\u2019ve eliminated them. So something coronavirus happens; it\u2019s on you, buddy. That matters in terms of the rest of the world, not inside China.<\/p>\n
Because no matter what happens inside China, no matter what happens with the coronavirus, nobody inside China is gonna get rid of Xi Jinping unless they take him out with a bullet. But nobody\u2019s gonna take him out with votes. Nobody\u2019s gonna take him out with constituents being upset and angry. To me, folks, this matters! We\u2019re gonna elect somebody president who doesn\u2019t even know what communism is, doesn\u2019t even know how it is structured?<\/p>\n
Then he teased Hillary Clinton as a potential vice president. Now, everybody knows that\u2019s a trial balloon. Bloomberg has to act fast if he wants to overcome Mayor Pete and Klobuchar (and her Klobmentum) and Crazy Bernie. If he really wants the Democrat nomination, he\u2019s gonna have to do something fast to start getting enough delegates where he can at least try to broker a convention, if not win it outright — and Crazy Bernie isn\u2019t just gonna sit there and stand aside and let it happen, although everybody needs to know Crazy Bernie is not a brawler.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/APP-021220-NH-Bernie-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Crazy Bernie will not be able to stand in the same ring with Donald Trump. No. Do not doubt me on this. Look at what Hillary did to him! He allowed Hillary Clinton to walk all over him to steal the nomination from him, to rig the election. All the while, he knew it. He\u2019s not a brawler. He is a full-fledged, communist ideologue. There\u2019s a difference. He\u2019s not an organizer. He\u2019s none of these things.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s trying to survive strictly on the power of his ideology resonating with people and that that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna keep them energized. But nobody thinks Crazy Bernie\u2019s a fighter. You ever heard that aspect of him described that way? No. Nobody thinks of him as a fighter. But everybody knows that Trump is. So Bloomberg has gotta do something here to get noticed. He\u2019s gotta do something. So they float the trial balloon that he\u2019s considering Hillary Clinton as vice president.<\/p>\n
Now, there\u2019s so many possibilities here, and let\u2019s just examine one of them for the moment. Every one of these people hates Donald Trump personally and viscerally, because he has done something they never thought he would be able to do. Donald Trump has always been seen by the glitterati in New York as a friendly but sort of stupid huckster. He\u2019s been underestimated throughout his entire life. He\u2019s gotten his share of respect, and he has earned his place in the New York hierarchy.<\/p>\n
But the real New York City, the real Manhattan elite despise the guy, they hate the guy. And when he went out and ran for president and got elected, that humiliated them, because they think they should be able to be doing that. They\u2019re the ones qualified to do that. Not Trump. He\u2019s never run for anything and he gets elected? So it is personal. They despise him. Now, they know Hillary has already lost her mind with hatred over Trump, and Bloomberg is a close second here.<\/p>\n
All the money in the world will not make Bloomberg happy if Trump does something that he, Bloomberg, can\u2019t do. So something has gotta give here. So he floats Hillary. One possibility is that if that were to ever work, and if Bloomberg would ever get elected as president with Hillary as the VP, a lot of people would think that the deal is that she actually gets to be president while Bloomberg goes off and does what he does after having won the election.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll be there in Washington, but she\u2019s gonna have the power. That\u2019s a theory I have heard bandied about over the weekend, that in order for her to do this, Bloomberg\u2019s gonna have to promise her that she is gonna be the de facto president. She gets to implement the ideas and the agenda while Bloomberg is the figurehead — and knowing the people on this side of it, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if something like that happened.<\/p>\n
But let\u2019s think about this another way. Let\u2019s think about how this plays out. You have a multibillionaire, Doomberg, who it can be demonstrated is not — I don\u2019t know how to say this \u2019cause I\u2019m not trying to be insulting. I\u2019m not. How do you politely say somebody\u2019s not as smart as they think? Say they got holes in their head? What do you say about \u2019em?<\/p>\n
Anyway, you have a multibillionaire who is trying to buy the presidency, wants the help of the swamp creature who purchased the Steele dossier, who cofounded a sham charitable organization that served as cover for the biggest pay-for-play scam the country\u2019s ever seen, the Clinton Foundation. And not only that, remember Hillary Clinton cheated Crazy Bernie out of the nomination in 2016.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s imagine this alliance, Doomberg and Hillary, who will be vaulted to this position not having had to win anything because she\u2019s proven that she can\u2019t. She becomes Bloomberg\u2019s veep after entering no primaries, after having spent no money, after having not gotten a single vote. She has the baggage with the Russians all the way back to 2016. How do you think this is gonna play with the Crazy Bernie, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wing of the Democrat Party? A billionaire teaming up with a corrupt cheat who kicked Crazy Bernie to the curb in 2016.<\/p>\n
You think Crazy Bernie\u2019s people just gonna sit there, stand idly by? Crazy Bernie may not be a fighter, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and The Squad certainly are. If Bloomberg buys the nomination, if he goes out there and does this and puts Hillary Clinton on his ticket as his running mate, if he goes in there and floods the market and buys it, hello third party. They\u2019re not gonna put up with it this time.<\/p>\n
Crazy Bernie may have to be dragged kicking and screaming to third party, but they are not going to put up with. But let\u2019s not forget who Hillary thinks that she is. You think that she would literally play 2nd fiddle to Mini Mike? I doubt it. I don\u2019t think she would do this if she literally had to be vice president. We\u2019re watching a party literally implode. The Democrat Party is imploding and disintegrating. It is a mass of chaos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It has an identity that it is trying once again to hide because it has not worked being open and up front and honest about being socialist and communist. So they\u2019re once again trying to hide it. They don\u2019t have anybody — I\u2019m telling you, the Democrat Party hierarchy is looking at their list of candidates, starting with the first 23 down to however many are left, and they don\u2019t see one of them who can win. Not one.<\/p>\n
Now, guess what the prepub is on the Nevada caucuses? It\u2019s gonna be just like Iowa. We\u2019re not expecting results the same day. We\u2019re not expecting results in a day or two. How can that be accepted by Democrats? You run a caucus, you announce the winner. What do you mean, we\u2019re not gonna know for couple days? What do you mean it\u2019s the same sort of chaos we had in Iowa? Why? Who\u2019s in charge of this show? And the answer to that\u2019s the Democrat National Committee.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: By the way, folks, before we go back to the phones, one thing. We have the audio sound bite. Michael Bloomberg — now, this is at Oxford. This is nothing. I\u2019ve been invited to speak at Oxford twice and I\u2019ve turned it down both times \u2019cause I thought it was a setup. Yeah, way back in the nineties, way back in the nineties before Fox News started. They invited me twice, and I thought it was a setup. It was during the Clinton years. I thought it was a total setup.<\/p>\n
I regret not doing it. I didn\u2019t go. Well, if they invited me to Oxford today I probably \u2013 I\u2019m not angling for an invitation to Oxford. I\u2019m just telling you, you know. I regret that I didn\u2019t accept the invitation, but it\u2019s not something I regret, regret, regret. I\u2019m just saying I wish I\u2019d done it now looking back on it. But I thought it was a setup like everything else. I mean, it\u2019s left-wing university extraordinaire, Oxford. But I should have seen it as an opportunity to get their minds right, and I saw it instead as a — anyway. Bloomberg was there.<\/p>\n
Bloomberg was addressing Oxford in 2016. And, folks, this is classic. I tell you constantly what leftists, Democrats and liberals think of you. Now, Bloomberg has come along, he said all of this stuff publicly, and it has never made it into public media until now when he seeks — this stuff didn\u2019t even surface when he was running for mayor of New York. So here he is putting down farming.<\/p>\n
BLOOMBERG: Ninety-eight percent of the world worked in agriculture, today its 2% of the United States. Now comes the information economy. And the information economy is fundamentally different because it\u2019s built around replacing people \u2013<\/p>\n

<\/a>Do you know what the lede of the story is?\u00a0 “Betting Odds Soar for Bloomberg Winning Nomination,” but what doesn\u2019t change is Donald Trump is leading everybody to win the presidency in these betting markets, no matter who the Democrat nominee is.\u00a0 “With each passing day ahead of the 2020 United States presidental [sic] election, Donald Trump\u2019s odds to spend another four years in the White House continue to improve. At Bovada, Trump is now the -170 favorite to win the election — an all-time high,” and yet that\u2019s buried.\u00a0 The headline is:\u00a0 “Betting Odds Soar for Bloomberg Winning Nomination.”<\/p>\n
