say george soros associated groups you would not be saying that that person should be on the supreme court. what i'm saying is are you that the left has this i'm saying is that this man is not come up the way the left likes to see black people come up that this man is unfortunately a conservative and that is not the kind of black man that the left likes t.j. or t.g. you are seen exclusively for yourself not for me are you tried as are you trying to tell me that if sonia sotomayor husband. had taken over a million dollars from from george soros funded programs and and she herself had taken it taking gifts from groups that were safe from unions that we're going to have business in front of the supreme court if it used to be just fine without. actually i know i don't know if i'd be fine with it but i'd do it but it would be the it's the law of the land why are you saying this has nothing to do with race why shouldn't the supreme court say it hears the same basic standards of judicial condoms and they require lower judges. from federal judges all the way down to justices of the peace to

>> he was the george soros of his day. he was a speculator who had the golden touch and to had the ear of the powers that be in politics. he has an agenda. he has a specific left-wing agenda. bernard baruch was in the influence line. i admire him for some many things. he finally showed himself to be someone for him getting along was more important than principle. it is ok. she was a great friend for the people who loved him. many did. my impatience with him was over his choosing to get along rather than to choose to stand on principle and the on the outside looking in. that is barch. reed was a horse of a different color. he was a man of a certain bloody minded principle. it showed a vividly in his stance toward the spanish /american difficulties of spain. it brought out his stand on principle. it brought out of his morbid sense of humor. it was one of the most pungent chapters in his life. >> you point out that the democrats then would the republicans now and the republicans than with the democrats. how close is that? >>

you last year in may just before we enter the international monetary fund that we know what mr george soros and his cronies they do they're not going to change their job this is their job this is what they do and they will continue doing it and people the difference now is that people know and people cannot stop at the moment and i wonder really those helicopters at the end now we're crying from the tear gas but who's going to be crying at the end ok as you as you're saying i'm sorry this money this money just goes to the fat cats who are lining their pockets is not going to the people it's not going to be economy give me a solution what can be done to fix this first of all. they should reach an agreement with the european central bank or the european union what to do i told you last year i tell you this year i have anybody says we cannot pay all their money they hear it's they all the money we take is in order to pay the high interest rates this is this is robbery this is theft this is swindle i can't describe it any more and the problem for them now is that people know that they realize t

. >> bill: we have chronicled that over the years that they're in business and well-funded by george sorosally smear anyone with whom they disagree. >> the art of misdirection. they have a unique way to try to confuse people to try and confuse the situation. but in this particular instance, i had -- i have incredibly good sources about what happened when this story broke. late friday night. first of all, i got word and i haven't told this to anybody, that around 10:30 at night his people were called at a pub and were told to go to. >> bill: weiner's people? >> go to capitol hill and to meet and discuss things. the next morning i got word from sources that their strategy throughout the weekend to stop this from hitting on tuesday was to make sure to blame breitbart to. make the story about breitbart. then it started to happen. first it was the daily kos attacked and said that breitbart was the hacker. and that lasted for three full days. it still was. >> bill: let me just -- so you break the story on your web site, conservative web site. all right? media matters monitors your web site. i'm

says to the brazilians that he is glad we can guarantee $2 billion for loans for equipment from a george soros-financed company. [boos] and then the most amazing thing. he says to the brazilians, i want us to be your best customer. the about this. this is a guy who has his job exactly backwards. the don't ask the president of the united states going around the world to be a purchasing agent. you want him to be a salesman for american products. [applause] when we get to the general election, one of our themes will be simple -- you like brazilian oil, both for obama, you like american oil, both for us. you like a purchasing agent president? vote for obama. you like a salesman president, both for us. let's make the choice clear. [applause] by the way, i get criticized in the elite media who are not as fond of me as they could be -- they said that obama is the most successful food stamp president in american history. guess what? obama is the most successful photostat president in american history. i would like to be the most risk -- the most successful paycheck president in american history.

george soros, have you heard of i f stone? he was a mentor intellectually and one of these independent journalists who actually read material and asked hard questions and was a wonderful writer but lived the last years of his life in vermont but i never met him. one more question? >> [inaudible] >> remember i live, we came here on your subway but we don't have subways like this in vermont so to get to work we drive. and what happens you have millions of working people, many of whom have seen a decline in their wages , now paying $4 or more for a gallon of gas coming right out of their paycheck and is taking their sorry economic situation even worse. here is what you have with gas prices. just back it up to our friends on wall street. win new talk to people, people are very, very angry. there was the gallup poll for the first time people now believe the the kids will have a lower standard of living than they do. for the very first time. my parents did not have any money and my dad worked his whole life lived in a small apartmen

how about george soros. how about cnn, cbs, pbs. how much money are they going to spend to elect barack obama? we're talking about billions of dollars. even if all of our presidential candidate to of all their assets and we threw in donald trump, it still would not be $1 billion. that is what we are facing in this general election. where will we be then? that is the danger that we face in 2012. what it is our candidate going to do, faced with $1 broke -- $1 billion. he could do like john mccain did after he got nominated. he took $80 million in public funds to run his general election campaign. problem, $920 million, not enough. or, he could try it to raise private funds. what is the problem there? corporations are prohibited from contributing. individuals are limited to $2,500 and every individual is limited in the total amount they can give during an election cycle. we have to think outside the box. we have to think of something new. we have to be innovative and we have to be courageous. we have to have a game changer. that is wha

donald trump, ivan boesky, michael milliken, george soros?was the principle commodity being speculated on in trading places? wheat, soybeans, pork bellies or frozen concentrated orange juice? what was montgomery brewster's job before he inherited 30 million bucks and extra points for somebody who knows the name of his employer. minor-league baseball player, a janitor, a limousine driver or a bartender. we will get to the answers in the end. here's the last section and this is the section most near and dear to my heart. the idea of "going rogue." we have gone through how the 19 '80s deifies the individual. we have gone through how at the same time it is deifying the individual is saying you yourself can become a michael jordan. so how then to explain what the institutions, what government for instance is still doing well? if you are saying the only thing that can be done well is through the individual, how do you explain the regular mundane things that government is doing well? you can't really deny them. >> i'm not a role model. i'm not paid

george soros is prepared, everyone has prepared.ed the american people, the american people are the way out. we will survive but now it's going to be a harder road out. we have to depend on each other. the help -- you didn't see anybody screaming in joplin for fema trucks. people in joplin were helped by their neighbors. the other people in joplin and the churches all around from all over states, the american people are going to be the ones that set this right. depend on them. >> the spirit is there. we see that every time there's a tragedy like that. >> glenn's shirt, not the one that you're sweating in right now. but a new one. >> you can't buy this. you can't buy this. >> this is coming up ahead straight in our show, rick harrison, he's one of the pawn stores and he's here to cut us a deal on some of our own personal belongings. i think steve and i are going to go head to head, aren't we? >> thank you -- >> and rick santorum makes it official, he's running for president. the former senator here next telling the white house to wat

the way they turned george bush into the enemy. a nazi. sorosl compared him to hitler. he was compared to osama bin laden by a "new york times" op-ed writer. columnist called him the deficient sill. these aren't intended to be jokes, they are not taken as jokes. then you get violence from the left. you still get it now. big part in the middle comparing 9 french revolution to the american revolution, something liberals lie about. i was surprised how many of my friends new very little about the french revolution. chris matthews show last week -- [ unintelligible ] the "new york times" talks about bastille day being equivalent to the 4th of july. it would be as if this country celebrated the l.a. riots. it was attack on a nearly empty prison. eyesore based on rumors. result of a mob. extremely anti-religious revolution. they desecrated notre dame. vandalism had to be created because of the french revolution. they destroyed ancient valuable monasteries, ripped them to the ground, hacked priests to death, gave mock sermons, wiping their behinds with
