HE DIDN'T EARN THAT CREDIT, SINCE HE WAS NOT SELF FUNDING -- MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF HIS FUNDING CAME FROM INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS, WHICH I MUCH PREFER TO GIGANTIC DONATIONS FROM RICH INDIVIDUALS OR SUPER PAC SPENDING, BUT IT STILL EXISTED, MAKING HIM A LIAR. BUT ANYWAY IF YOU THINK HE DESERVES EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF CREDIT FOR THAT, HE WILL LOSE IT IN THE GENERAL ELECTION BECAUSE HE HAS ANNOUNCED THAT HE IS GOING TO BE PUTTING TOGETHER A FUNDRAISING MACHINE OF THE TRADITIONAL SORT. HE SAYS, I'LL BE PUTTING UP MONEY BUT IT WON'T BE COMPLETELY SELF FUNDING AS I DID DURING THE PRIMARY. HE IS STILL SAYING HE SELF-FUNDED DURING THE PRIMARY, IT IS NOT TRUE, HE WAS GIVEN MILLIONS, AND TO BE GIVEN MILLIONS BY REGULAR REPUBLICANS AND THEN TO PRETEND THAT THEY DIDN'T GIVE YOU THAT MONEY, IT SEEMS WEIRD TO ME. IF YOU GO BACK TO HIS FATHER GIVING HIM $1 MILLION, HE REFERRED TO THAT AS A LITTLE LONG. AND IT WAS MORE THAN THAT, BUT HE SAYS A LITTLE. SO DONALD TRUMP GETTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PEOPLE, NOT SIGNIFICANT TO HIM. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY DONATING TO HIM, HE WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. HE SAID GOING INTO THE GENERAL ELECTION -- WE WILL DISCUSS THIS IN A MINUTE, FIRST WE HAVE HIM ON VIDEO TALKING ABOUT HIS PLAN, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HE SAYS BECAUSE I WILL BREAK DOWN WHAT A MORON HE IS WHEN WE COME BACK. AS FAR AS THE CAMPAIGN OR MAKING DECISIONS RIGHT NOW, PROBABLY WE WILL WORK WITH THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE, RAISE A LOT OF MONEY, WE WILL TRY TO RAISE OVER $1 MILLION WHICH WILL BE NECESSARY, THE DEMOCRATS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 2 BILLION, BUT WE WANT TO RAISE UP TO 1 BILLION, MAYBE EVEN OVER THAT. I'M NOT SURE THAT IS NECESSARY BECAUSE I HAVE A BIG VOICE, I GO ON SHOWS LIKE YOURS AND EXPLAIN THE TRUTH, PEOPLE SEEM TO GO ALONG WITH IT. WEíLL BREAKDOWN THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS BUT FIRST I LOVE, HIS FIRST SENTENCE, HE ONLY SAID THREE SENTENCES THERE. WE WILL TRY TO RAISE OVER 1 BILLION WHICH IS GOING TO BE NECESSARY. THEN ANOTHER SENTENCE, THEN WE WILL RAISE UP TO 1 BILLION, MAYBE OVER THAT, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S EVEN NECESSARY. HE SAID IT WAS NECESSARY, HIMSELF. I BET HE WILL DO THIS FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS. ONE, IT SHOWS HE IS NOT A COMPLETE FOOL BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO BE MASSIVELY OUTSPENT IF HE DIDN'T DO THIS, OR IF HE DIDN'T PLEDGE 1 BILLION OF HIS OWN DOLLARS. IF I WAS HIM I WOULD DO IT, SO THAT YOU ARE DOING THIS ALL ON YOUR OWN. HIS ENTIRE EMPIRE IS BASED ON MONEY HE WAS GIVEN AS A YOUNG MAN, SO -- WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAY? HE IS A RICH KID WHO INHERITED MONEY AND WAS GIVEN A $1 MILLION LOAN, EVEN IF IT WAS JUST 1 MILLION -- I COULD DO A LOT WITH A MILLION DOLLAR LOAN FROM MY DAD. LET ALONE THE INHERITANCE THAT HE LATER GOT, A GIGANTIC SUM. HE OBVIOUSLY KNOWS BRANDING, IT WASN'T ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF THE MONEY HE WAS GIVEN. THAT IS FAIR, BUT ALSO WE HAVE BEEN TALKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE SIX MONTHS NOW WONDERING WHO IT WOULD BE, DEPENDING ON IF IT IS BERNIE OR HILLARY, THE MOST DIFFICULT CANDIDATE TO GO AGAINST, WHO WOULD BE THE EASIEST. WE HAVE TALKED OFTEN ABOUT THE WILDCARD NATURE OF DONALD TRUMP, AND ALSO ABOUT HOW HE HAS A SPECIAL POSITION WHERE HE COULD ATTACK SOMEONE LIKE A HILLARY CLINTON BY SAYING, YOU ARE BOUGHT, I EVEN PARTICIPATED IN BUYING YOU, YOU ARE TAKING MONEY FROM THE SPECIAL INTERESTS WHO ARE DONATING BILLIONS TO SUPER PACS, YOU ARE BROUGHT, I AM NOT. BUT NOW HE WILL BE TAKING MONEY FROM REPUBLICAN BILLIONAIRES, THAT IS THE WORLD-CLASS FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION THAT HAS FUELED REPUBLICAN PRESIDENCIES FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS AT THE VERY LEAST. HE WILL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUPER PACS. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THOSE SAME CLAIMS THAT HE WAS GOING TO MAKE ANYWAY, BUT NOW THEY ARE 100% FALSE, BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AMOUNT OF AUTHENTICITY TO IT. HE IS GOING TO BE BOUGHT THE SAME AS HER. WHENEVER RICH PEOPLE RUN AND FUND THEIR OWN CAMPAIGNS IN STATE RACES THE ARGUMENT THAT I CAN'T BE BOUGHT WORKS PRETTY WELL. I'M NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME RAISING MONEY FROM SPECIAL INTERESTS. BUT PUT UP THAT QUOTE AGAIN THAT WE HAD TO START THIS SECTION FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL? THE OTHER ONE, THE ONE FROM MEDIAITE, I APOLOGIZE -- THAT IMMEDIATELY UNDERCUTS HIS AUTHENTICITY, SO I AGREE. ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS THAT BERNIE SUPPORTERS MAKE, AND I THINK IT WAS A VALID ARGUMENT, IS THAT TRUMP WILL BE -- WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE, AND WILL STILL BE ABLE, BECAUSE AS YOU SAY HE WILL STILL TRY, TO TAKE ON SOME OF THE BERNIE SANDERS LANGUAGE, TONE, ABOUT OUTSIDER, DON'T TRUST THE SYSTEM, AGAINST THE SYSTEM, WE HAVE TO STICK UP FOR REGULAR PEOPLE, AND AGAINST HILLARY, WHOEVER MAKES THAT ARGUMENT, THAT LANDS TO SOME EXTENT. AND TRUMP -- BERNIE AGAINST TRUMP, TRUMP COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT BECAUSE HE IS OUTDONE, UNQUESTIONABLY, BY BERNIE ON THAT. HE HAS EVEN SAID THAT ABOUT BERNIE IN THE PAST. SO IT IS MUTED. AND ONCE AGAIN WE GET THE SAME ARGUMENT AGAINST HILLARY AND HE STILL, AS YOU SAY, WILL, BUT IT IS UNQUESTIONABLY MUTED BY HIS -- ANOTHER REASON PARTIALLY HE IS DOING IT, AND I HOPE THERE ARE STORIES ON THIS, MEANINGFUL INVESTIGATIONS ON IT, IF IT HAS OCCURRED TO ME I'M SURE IT HAS OCCURRED TO REPORTERS, BUT HOW MUCH MONEY DOES HE REALLY HAVE? HE SAYS UP TO $10 BILLION. NO WAY. THE IDEA OF HIM IS VALUED AT 2.5 BILLION. THERE IS NO WAY HE HAS ANYTHING LIKE THAT LIQUID, AND I'M NOT KNOCKING IF HE ONLY HAS TWO, BUT I'M DUBIOUS. IF HE IS SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING, SPENDING 1 BILLION OF HIS OWN DOLLARS AND INSTANTLY TAKING UP THAT CUDGEL AGAINST HILLARY, THAT SHE IS PART OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND CAN'T BE TRUSTED AND I WILL STICK UP FOR THE LITTLE GUY AND REGULAR AMERICANS -- OF COURSE, MANY REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT YOU TO STICK UP FOR THE LITTLE GUY, SO THERE IS A RISK THERE. BUT NOT AS MUCH. I THINK IT IS A MISTAKE TO -- NOT TO -- TO CEDE THAT ARGUMENT WHICH HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE FOR BERNIE, AND THERE ARE SOME BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTERS, I DON'T THINK MANY, BUT SOME WHO WOULD HEAR THAT IN DONALD TRUMP AND, GIVEN THEIR DISTASTE FOR CLINTON, SOME NUMBER WOULD GO TO TRUMP. BUT I THINK HE RISKS LOSING THAT, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW. WE PREVIOUSLY TOLD YOU THAT THE KOCH BROTHERS SAY THEY ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE SPENDING WILL LOOK LIKE, BUT IF THEY COME AROUND AND HE GETS MONEY FROM THE KOCHS AND FROM SHELDON ADELSON AND FROM WALL STREET AND THE OIL COMPANIES AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, THAT IS HOW YOU DO THIS WORLD-CLASS FINANCE ORGANIZATION THAT WE HATE SO MUCH HERE AT YOUNG TURKS. ONCE HE HAS ALL THAT, WE JUST HOPE THAT REPORTERS ARE GOING TO CALL HIM ON IT.
