Howard Dean Claims Criticism of Hillary for Six Figure Speeches Is Sexist

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

ROBERTS: “Kristen as written a book on the subject.”
SOLTIS ANDERSON: “I think you’re right that college affordability is a huge piece of this. And on the one hand you have Bernie Sanders message which is about “I want to make college free.” On the Republican side you have someone like Marco Rubio trying to talk about this precisely for the reason you mentioned that she’s going to campuses, she’s made this money, it undercuts the idea she’s fighting for people like you.”
DEAN: “I disagree with that. I don’t think people in America resent people who don’t make money —“
SOLTIS ANDERSON: “But making it off of college kids —“
DEAN: “She’s not getting $225,000 for speeches in front of colleges.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Yes, she is.”
DEAN: “No, she’s not.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Howard, it’s a matter of record.”
DEAN: “What college?”
SCARBOROUGH: “I don’t know. Alex, Google it and we’ll give him the answer in 10 seconds.”
DEAN: “She’s making $225,000 a speech —“
BRZEZINSKI: “From Goldman Sachs, sorry, I got that wrong.” [crosstalk]
DEAN: “I’ve been very quiet while you guys have roasted Hillary Clinton.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I’m going to let you speak. I’m telling you, though, she has been paid $225,000 speaking in front of colleges.”
WOODWARD: “There was at least one, one that we know of.”
DEAN: “And you don’t know what it is.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I will tell you as soon as somebody Googles it. Go ahead, you have the floor.”
DEAN: “I know Hillary personally. That’s why I like her. I don’t recognize the person you have described in this last ten minutes of conversation. She is incredibly relaxed, one of the smartest people I ever met, she’s fair and totally fact-based. So we can argue —“
ROBERTSON: “And she’s terrific one on one.”
DEAN: “Not only she’s terrific one on one, she has an ability to cut to the core of an issue and get stuff done and make very — this is the point I was trying to make earlier. If Bernie wins the nomination, believe me, I’ll be out there working hard for him. But what I admire about Hillary is she has the ability to cut to the chase and make tough decisions based on the facts and not ideology and she’s been in that chair and had to do it.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Howard, I’m not going to fight you here, I said it on the show all the time. I like Hillary personally a lot. I’ve said it for 20 years, even in my conservative district after I met her I said ‘I god bad news for you, I like her.’”
BRZEZINSKI: “You have to be in front of her.”
SCARBOROUGH: “So the question is how does the Hillary that you know and like, the Hillary I know and like, the Hillary you know and like, how does that translate better. Bob, you’ve spent time with her, too. People at home have no idea how likable and disarming she is in personal.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Are you serious?”
DEAN: “It’s not that she’s likable and disarming, she’s tough as hell and will make a great president.”
WOODWARD: “But he agreed there’s a communications problem on television? You don’t see that?”
DEAN: “Look, I’m going to say this and get jumped for it but I have to do it. If she were a male making these kind of speeches would people be criticizing her?”
BRZEZINSKI: “Oh, my God, that’s desperate. [crosstalk] Howard, you are wrong about the colleges —“
SCARBOROUGH: “If there was a man that always talked like this on stage I would have made fun of that man —“
SOLTIS ANDERSON: “I think the fact that when Republicans watch Hillary Clinton speak they are so turned off that I think it allows them to underestimate her strength as a candidate because they think how can anyone possibly like her? And I think if the warm Hillary you know and love comes out I think Republicans won’t know how to deal with that.”
SCARBOROUGH: “So the bottom line is this, is it UNLV or lauch?”
UNKNOWN MALE: “UNLV in October of 2014, she got $25,000 then a month later UCLA she got $300,000.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I stand corrected and I was mistaken. So she got over $500,000 from two colleges.”
DEAN: “I will humbly eat crow, Joe. Do you have a serving of crow, please?”
SCARBOROUGH: “I’m pretty sure she got paid — $200,000 to a new York state college because I said I found it hard to believe that a senator would get paid that.”
DEAN: “I’ll take the feathers out of my teeth.”
