The group No Labels has been stiffing their contractors for work performed this year according
to a new lawsuit, but that's actually just the beginning of the problems for this group
as new reports have uncovered their corporate donors who are actually pulling the strings.
This is a story I actually talked about a little over a week or so ago.
No labels stiffed they're contractors all year.
Millions of dollars for work performed in the mid terms.
Now they're facing a comeuppance and unfortunately for No Labels, it also puts their name back
in the news.
And...
You know what's so funny about this?
Think back, the first time we heard No Labels, we came to the same conclusion that we're
going to talk about right here.
First of all, No Labels is a fraud.
Yeah.
Okay, It's an absolute fraud.
No Labels was, you know, they're not... they want to say we're not Republican.
We're not Democrat.
We're centrist.
Well, let me tell you where they get their money.
These centrist as they like to call themselves.
They get their money from Bain Capital, to the tune of about a quarter of a million dollars.
They get their money from centrist advisors, $200,000.
I mean, all of these are corporate insiders.
Most of them, interestingly enough, our from Wall Street.
Okay.
And remember we've done the stories about how Wall Street now dominates the Democratic
Party and there's been this tension within the Democratic Party for a long time and that
the tension is we're not really Wall Street.
Wall Street does not give a nickel about the average American consumer.
How can you say the Democrats are Wall Street?
But that is the new Democratic Party.
Yeah.
Like it or not, that is the new Democratic Party.
Matter of fact, the last series of elections even showed that.
The centrist win every time because the democratic money goes... there's some few exceptions,
you know.
Obviously Cortez up in...
Yeah.
Up in New York.
She's an exception to that.
But the big money, these guys are the people who pay for the elections.
Go take it from there.
Well, yeah, and you've got Berkshire on there.
You've got a couple of food, you got Silicon Valley venture capitalists.
Oaktree Capital $125,000.
Apollo Global Management, the Loews Corporation, which is a hotel chain, not the home improvement.
Walmart is funding these.
But here's the thing, and this is what No Labels wasn't paying their contractors to
do, is that No Labels this year was running centrist, moderate Republicans against Democrat
incumbents who had maybe gotten a little too progressive.
Now I didn't see these people getting too progressive.
Well, that's what they said.
Oh, you know, the Democrats have become so progressive, we have to move to the Republican.
Now, who is this?
This is Mark Penn.
Yeah.
Who used to be, who is one of the key advisors for the Clintons and has been for decades.
Right, he did Bill Clinton's years.
He did Hillary Clinton's years.
He actually invented Bill Clinton a lot of ways because he's the one that had Bill Clinton
out of there talking about, you know, we really need to embrace Wall Street.
We've really missed the boat here.
Wall Street is us.
We Are Wall Street.
Remember?
That's what invented Clinton.
And then all of a sudden the American public started saying, what?
I don't get this.
Why are you taking up for the pharmacy industry?
Why are you taking up for the healthcare industry?
Why are we siding up with the energy industry?
Because that's what, that's Bill Clinton's history.
I mean, Bill Clinton never saw a corporate dollar that he would not take.
And so that was Mark Penn.
So take it from there.
Well, this exposé of No Labels which the Daily Beast just put out, which is phenomenal.
It was phenomenal.
People need to take a look at that and understand that there is no such thing as no labels.
There's no such thing as centrism.
There's corporatism that doesn't want to pick a side because they want to be on both sides.
And that's what's happening.
This is something we've talked about with the pharmaceutical industry, is that when
you have corporations that have billions upon billions of dollars because they're price
gouging consumers, they're able to take that money, which is what No Labels does and put
it on both sides almost evenly.
So that way if Republicans win, you own them.
If Democrats win, you own them.
And it's all Wall Street.
Yeah, and No Labels wants to sit there in the middle, giving money to the non racist
people in the Republican Party, and the non progressive people in the Democratic Party.
Yeah.
And that's the center that they've created.
But all it is, is just shills for corporation who may be good on social issues sometimes.
You almost can't tell the difference in parties.
You can't when it comes to that.
No Labels means, you know, we're no different.
Democrats are just like Republicans.
That there's no distinction and we haven't carved out anything for ourselves that we
can say is really good for the American public.
That what.... so you mentioned something, No Labels came out with their talking points
were in the last election that we are going, basically we're going to be hostile to non
centrist candidates.
Right?
And they were, they raised... they didn't raise money.
They were... financially, No Labels has been a train wreck.
Yeah.
It has been a dysfunctional train wreck disaster.
And now Mark Penn, the irony here is just so funny when you really think about it, Penn,
who's this former political strategist for Bill Clinton, he's caught up in the middle
of it and it's kind of like, I got yak You know, it's kinda like I got you moment where
you see this is what this guy has really been about.
And he invented Bill Clinton around this notion.
Exactly.
And now he's trying to bring that to the country.
In a country that doesn't want it by the way.
And that's Hillary would have been.
Exactly.
Hillary would've been just another Mark Penn centrist Democrat that yeah, really good on
social issues, wants to embrace, you know, in her mind, embrace the social issue, and
totally ignore what really happens to the American public when Wall Street tramples
all over him.
And that's what, that's what really centrist means.
It is.
And what we're looking at here now with this No Labels group is they want to spread that.
They want it to become almost this centrist infection in politics because all they want
to do, like so many of these other groups, you peel back the surface and look at them.
They want to make sure that corporations can do whatever they want to do.
The good news is they're a failure.
The good news is if you sent money to No Labels, you wasted, WASTED a lot of money and I'm
good with that.
I'm great with Walmart wasting money or Wall Street wasting money, but they wasted millions
and millions of dollars trying to, trying to pump up these jack legs and I mean they
just, it's a joke.
I guess that's the happy ending there.
Yeah, wasn't Joe Scarborough part of No Labels for awhile too?
Yes, well actually, Joe went on, and a lot of people don't know this, Joe used to be
my law partner before he started with Msnbc and yeah, that was part of his talking point
is what an important movement the No Labels movement is in America.
Really?
