  • Cenk: So, there were a number of instances when

  • Donald Trump said things that drive me crazy.

  • How does he say things like this

  • that people still think

  • "Ah yeah this guy's bright enough to be the most powerful man on earth".

  • Let me give you one example

  • Donald Trump: "Now with that being said, she talks tough against Russia

  • but our nuclear program has fallen way behind

  • and they've gone wild with their nuclear program.

  • Not good.

  • Our government shouldn't have allowed that to happen.

  • Russia is new in terms of nuclear.

  • We are old, we're tired, we're exhausted

  • in terms of nuclear..."

  • Cenk: 'We're exhausted in terms of nuclear.'

  • What does that mean?

  • I don't know what that means.

  • I guess he's saying that our nuclear weapons are depleted?

  • Ben: They're old. I think he's saying they're old and Russia's are updated

  • which I actually think is not true.

  • Cenk: Of course it's not remotely true, we have a gigantic lead on nuclear weapons

  • some of them are older because we've been stockpiling for a long, long time.

  • A lot of them are very new, but they're certainly not exhausted because they didn't run laps.

  • Right? And so, a little bit later he said 'I will give economics to people'

  • But, you know, so, I get frustrated by this because I already saw this movie

  • George Bush debating Al Gore and everybody just gives him a pass on being stupid.

  • You know, and at that point I'd never voted for a democrat in my life

  • and I looked at the debates and I said 'No, I'm not going to vote for a guy that dumb.

  • I'm going to vote for Gore even though I've never voted for a democrat.'

  • You know I was obviously, at that point, I was a liberal republican, now that doesn't exist anymore

  • so, it was a little bit more complicated than that, but as I looked at Bush,

  • I was like

  • 'THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES! WHY ARE THEY NOT SAYING THE GUY IS PATENTLY STUPID?'

  • And I listened to Trump where he goes 'I will give economics to people.' 'Our nuclear is exhausted'

  • [frustration sound]

  • The guy's an idiot!

  • Right? So for all the things that people have said about Trump,

  • 'bigoted', 'dangerous',

  • those are all true, but what doesn't get enough coverage is how dumb he is.

  • Ben: Yeah, well that's why he's bigoted and dangerous, those are the people who are bigoted and dangerous,

  • is that they are dumb.

  • And we saw what happens when you let a dumb guy be in charge [in reference to George W. Bush].

  • And whether it's, you want to take a conspiritorial approach and say that he's had the presidency sort of

  • stolen from him by the, Dark Lord, Dick Chaney,

  • or whether he made the dumb decisions on his own because he wouldn't listen to anybody.

  • Either way, it was based on a simplistic, easygoing, everyman. Which is not what we're supposed to have be President.

Cenk: So, there were a number of instances when
