here in America and what are we thankful for well all kinds of things but one of them is coffee and you may have a different favorite beverage and you can enjoy it now thanks to a little thing I invented it's called the simultaneous sip those of you who have experienced it know the joy the pure unbridled fun the deliciousness of the simultaneous sip it's even strong if you watch this in replay still works just the same and all you need to participate it doesn't take much all you need is a cup or mug your glasses sniff there's time chalice tanker thermos flask canteen Grail goblet vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid those of you who have just water that's the placebo but it'll do for now get ready to join me in the simultaneous it's the thing that makes everything

[1:04]

it's the thing that makes everything better at the dopamine hill of the day go thank you well last night I did a little appearance on tucker carlson show i hope some of you thought oh i see in the comments some of you did and and there's a big difference when you're on the primetime probably the top-rated show I don't know maybe Hannity is top-rated on Fox a lot of people saw that I hope I did not embarrass myself but either way I don't care if I did embarrass myself that's fine too and also last night I did a an event at the Commonwealth Club and I met many simultaneous sippers there so if you are one of them good to see you again thanks

[2:07]

one of them good to see you again thanks for coming last night all right we got lots to talk about there's this weird thing happening in the news in which CNN is accusing Republicans of believing the only Ukraine interfered in our elections in 2016 and it wasn't Russian have you heard anybody say that because it's being reported like it's you know a well-known understood fact the Republicans are saying that only Ukraine interfered in election 2016 and not Russia I've literally never heard that have you I've heard people say they don't know which is hard to claim at this point because the the 60 minutes piece about Russia Russia hacking seem pretty pretty solid to me I mean it's hard to tell you know anything could be wrong but it looked pretty solid and I would say that that's actually the first time that I've seen reporting this

[3:10]

time that I've seen reporting this seemed convincing to me convincing that Russia definitely was was behind the hacking because it was so detailed up until literally up until I replayed the 60 minute piece I was still on the side of well could have been Russia but it could have done somebody making it look like Russia but when you see all the details of what we know about it and we know the specific people and all that it looks like it wasn't but I've never heard anybody say that it was only Ukraine and it was never Russia I'm pretty sure that's not real right but but CNN's treating it like it is rayul anyway that's normal have you all seen the Bloomberg the Bloomberg announcement video where's my phones I think I have to I have to play it for you if you don't mind and you see it might take me

[4:10]

don't mind and you see it might take me a minute to find it here but totally worth waiting for except my phone stopped working damn it work phone worked here we go all right I'm gonna play it for you um I hope it'll be loud enough and I want you to see the energy that he puts into this okay so you're gonna watch it for all of his energy and one of the one of the funniest comments to it I'll tell you in advance was I forgot to write down who made this comment on Twitter but under the video has had fasten your seatbelt so just remember that witty comment when I play protecting women's and LGBTQ rights supporting our veterans and re-establishing America's place in the world as a force for peace and stability but more than plans I offer the leadership to turn plans into reality to

[5:12]

leadership to turn plans into reality to roll up my sleeves to motivate our country to unite and rebuild America and make it fairer and better I'm ready to get to work so let's get it on protecting women's and LGBT I'm ready to go to work so let's get it on
so fasten your seatbelt he's coming Bloomberg's coming batten down the hatches it's gonna be a high-energy no it's not now I don't know if Bloomberg would look so sleepy if we did not have a president Trump who looks the opposite I often talk about the power of a contrast if Bloomberg were not running against Trump I don't even know we'd notice I mean it seems like all politicians used to be sort of serious

[6:12]

politicians used to be sort of serious Low Energy kind of people in the past and we just didn't even notice but now that you've got a little a little taste of the Trump entertainment juggernaut it's hard to imagine having a president this boring I don't know if we could do it similarly I told you before that it's impossible for me to watch a movie now in 2019 it's not just because the movies are bad now because they are most of them but they're too long and they're not any longer than they used to be but now it's intolerable because I've shortened my attention span with Twitter so now with Twitter I can have this morning I probably had 50 different unrelated interesting thoughts that I read about on Twitter in maybe an hour and you watch a movie and it's just like okay I get it I get it the man and the woman love each other yeah okay I get it

[7:13]

woman love each other yeah okay I get it one of them's gonna die so you have to show that they love each other just tell me they love each other I don't need to watch them talking love talk over breakfast yes there Jake he's making her a cup of coffee I get it they're in love she's gonna die he's gonna get really mad he'll get his revenge so movies are just intolerable because you get the point and you're like I got the point a long time ago just show me the car chase will ya all right so Bloomberg has no chance one of the interesting aspects of the Bloomberg presidency and again this is another matchup problem Bloomberg has reportedly I don't know if this help confirmed this is but it sounds true Bloomberg apparently has massive business in China and he says China is not a dictatorship now technically technically is Bloomberg right that

[8:15]

technically is Bloomberg right that China is not a dictatorship well I think he was right until President she became president for life right that sort of changed things but until then I was actually saying the same thing because their system requires that the Communist Party is backing their leader and if the Communist Party you know the the elite Communist Party don't back their leader that leaders probably not going to last very long so it's not a democracy but it's closer to something like no not a republic more like a corporation it's more like a corporation where if the CEO doesn't have the support of the Board of Directors he's got to go but as long as the CEO is performing the board of directors say well you can stay as long as you want so Bloomberg was sort of kinda

[9:16]

so Bloomberg was sort of kinda technically almost right about China not being a dictatorship before but I think once you name your leader president for life you have to put into question whether even the Communist Party in China could remove him if they wanted to and I imagine he's consolidated power by now all right there's a report that the new Star Wars script for the rise of Skywalker was leaked on eBay somebody put the script for the new Star Wars movie on eBay and the they say it was recovered prior to being sold is that what happened was was it taken off of ebay before it could be sold or or did nobody bid on it oh you beat me to it Monterey Jon I was going for the Big Finish but you beat me to it and you're

[10:17]

Finish but you beat me to it and you're common yeah maybe maybe nobody bid on somebody says a promotional stunt probably not I don't I don't think that anybody would do a promotional stunt where they intentionally put a script on eBay that's that would be pretty far outside of let's say the the creative industries standard for a good behavior that would be so far outside it that I can't imagine it but I suppose anything is possible I tweeted it around an article from a super racist publication called the route if you ever heard of it so the route is I don't know how they describe themselves but it's primarily african-american writers writing about racism and it's basically an anti white websites all right I think I can say that with complete sincerity so they do

[11:19]

that with complete sincerity so they do not like their white people on the route and I don't know how they stay in business frankly because it's so blatantly racist it's crazy but they do they've come after me by the way so that the route has targeted me with with a hip piece in the past so that's my opinion of the route it's racist it shouldn't exist but I saw an article by a writer named Michael Harriet I think I'm pronouncing that correctly who was writing about Peabody judge and I thought oh this would be an interesting shelter on what the black community you released some of them think about Peabody judge which is pretty important so I thought I'm gonna read this article and the reason that I tweeted it is just because it was so well written and I thought you would enjoy the technique even if you disagreed with everything the writer says you know I I think most of you would have a little problem buying into the writers main thesis but

[12:22]

buying into the writers main thesis but here's what you want to look for in the writing it is sensationally visual if you can if you can write an article with lots of visual elements where you're describing them visually that's always better and this is crazy visual it's so if you don't know that rule you would just know you liked it but you wouldn't know why here's why it's visual it's super visual it's like it's so good that it's just one of the best examples I've ever seen but there was one sentence in it in particular oh and he also has a story arc so if you don't finish it you're gonna miss some of the magic a lot of it actually so if you if you start reading it and you bail out before the
the and you're gonna miss a lot of what makes it special because it's got a big finish like a really good finish so here's the sentence that caused me to

[13:24]

here's the sentence that caused me to retweet it I laughed when I read it and I laughed for about ten minutes afterwards to myself just because I don't know sometimes the turn of a phrase can be just so delicious that you can't get it out of your head for a while so I'll tell you what it is I'm gonna read it to you so it's Michael Harriet writing in the route and he's talking about Peter Budaj and he's quoting Buddha judge who when he was running for mayor in 2011 was talking about what could be done for the African American community and he was talking about education and the need for in Buddha judge's opinion role models who had made made good through education so Buddha judge believes that if there were more better role models who were taking advantage of education and being successful that minority made neighborhoods would look at that and they'd be more inclined to value education and that would fix things Michael Harriet has a different opinion

[14:27]

Michael Harriet has a different opinion and he writes this sentence so he starts with quoting Budaj and he says quote kids need to see evidence that education is going to work for them Buddha judge explained Whitely that was the sentence that got me Buddha judge explained Whitely now hey you can dislike the route and you can say to yourself hey this this this seems a little racist I'm not gonna argue any of those points today I'm just gonna say that this sentence is just sort of delicious that he explained Whitely when he was running for mayor I'll just finish it off here so Buddha judge said you're motivated because you believe that at the end of your education there is a reward there's a stable life there's a job and there are a lot of kids especially in the lower income minority neighborhoods who literally just haven't seen it work there isn't they know personally who testifies to the value of education do you know who

[15:31]

the value of education do you know who is the last person who made that point to me an african-american pastor so the last person who made exactly the same point about one of the biggest problems and the black inner cities especially is very similar to what Buddha Jesus so he's he's certainly compatible with what some people in the African American community you think I don't know what percentage so I'm not arguing if that's true or false because I don't have that experience myself I'm just saying that there's a disagreement anyway I read that article was great when I tweeted it around I got a Twitter bitch-slapped by Paul Graham if you recognize that name if if you know the tech world you would recognize that name Paul Graham a famous investor I think he's probably a billionaire but anyway he's quite famous in the investing startup world and he

[16:32]

in the investing startup world and he tweets at me he says either you believe Buddha jej explained Whitely is great writing the the phrase Buddha judge explained Whitely is great writing or you're lying this is what Paul Graham the same to be this morning on Twitter or you're lying and it's hard to believe it's the former so he so he's having a hard time believing that I believe that the phrase Buddha jej explained Whitely is great writing so let me say as clearly as possible Paul Graham I could never invest in startups as well as you but you could never write as well as me and you could never write as well as Michael Harriet either because that is great writing it's provocative it it makes it impossible to look away it's clever it's subtle it's it's a visual - it's such a good visual writing I can't get enough

[17:33]

good visual writing I can't get enough of it anyway Trump is donating his third quarter salary of $100,000 to fight the opioid crisis now of course $100,000 doesn't buy you much in the fight against opioids but I love the fact that Trump is getting a double hit on his donating his salary you know one is good that he's donating it because he's a billionaire so it's sort of just a good look but secondly he's using it as as a way to point out things that are priorities so he's pointing out the priority of fighting the iput opioid crisis I like that so thank you president Trump for donating your salary that's not the big part but for calling out the importance of the opioid crisis a guy named Greg Sargent on Twitter says and I love this for students of cognitive dissonance this is a great lesson here all right if you're trying

[18:33]

lesson here all right if you're trying to understand cognitive dissonance it's when there's something about a person's worldview that doesn't work in other words it doesn't explain what they're observing so they have to paste together a rationalization of their worldview that to to an observer looks absurd it looks like it doesn't make sense but to the person saying it they actually believe it because they had to fix their their imperfect worldview with a little spackle so greg sargent writes this tweet he says there's a weird framing in the media right now now the phrase weird at framing is your first signal that what follows is cognitive distance because there's framing there's good framing there's bad framing but is there weird framing weird framing is the signal that his worldview doesn't make sense because if it made sense he'd say oh they're framing it wrong or they say

[19:36]

they're framing it wrong or they say already say they're framing it right it would be something like that but to say it's weird framing is your signal that his worldview doesn't make sense so now he's going to go and the cognitive dissonance sets in and he describes what he calls the weird framing and the media quote has the impeachment inquiry and then he emphasizes changed the minds of any Republicans now he's saying that when the when the press is asking that question as the impeachment inquiry changed the minds of any Republicans that's weird framing and he goes on to explain he says the problem with this is it furthers the assumption the Republicans are making an actual good-faith evaluation of emerging evidence so in other words he's saying that asking if Republicans have changed their mind is sort of a illegitimate or ridiculous question because there's not any any reason to believe that any

[20:36]

any any reason to believe that any Republicans would ever change their mind based on evidence does that sound like a reasonable opinion to you so his only hypothesis to explain the weird framing he's saying so his worldview doesn't make sense but he explains it away by saying that the news is making a bad assumption that Republicans can change their mind based on evidence now of course it is true that people don't change their mind too much based on evidence so that part's fair right I say it all the time but it leaves out a possibility here's and so I tweeted back at him and I said another possibility is that Democrats are hallucinating that a credible argument for impeachment has been made and that I said I didn't see one so greg sargent starts with the assumption that there was credible arguments for impeachment and he sought

[21:39]

arguments for impeachment and he sought what he doesn't think is the possibility is that we all watch the same thing and many of us didn't see it we're looking at the same thing I don't see it the reason I don't see it is because all of this is making you think past the sale and the sale is whether the president was asking something of Ukraine that was in the interest of and the great interest of much of the public so if the president was asking Ukraine or even pressuring Ukraine with any kind of leverage doesn't matter what kind if the president was using any leverage on Ukraine to get them to investigate something that the public wanted investigated and I think we did I did probably many of you did you wanted to know what's going on with Biden Dan burr is now and if the answer is nothing if the answer is there's nothing to see here I do want to know that right away as quickly as we could find out so

[22:39]

as quickly as we could find out so president Trump and his supporters I think screwed the pooch on his defense they should have stuck with he asked the questions that the public wanted to know and should want to know and he never should've left that point but when you've got people defending you or sort of lawyers by experienced lawyers are gonna lawyer and I think they they lured him in the wrong direction persuasion wise because they spent a lot of time arguing about the details of stuff and about whether it's impeachable you know sufficiently a peach' ball whether the quid pro quo was direct or just implied as soon as you're arguing all that stuff you've left behind the only question that matters if it's true that the president asked Ukraine to do what the public wants him to ask to do or should want them to ask or should want him to ask then there's nothing else to say

[23:40]

ask then there's nothing else to say that's the beginning in the end of the story it wouldn't matter if it's also good for him it would only matter if he's doing his job the public wanted it he asked for it that's his job arguing that it was or was not quid pro quo or what he said in the letter whether it was a perfect letter who did what all of that works against your argument because the only argument that matters is was he doing what the public wanted him to do and was it legal yes it was legal yes the public wanted him to do it and here's the next part was there another way to get there could the president have let it happen that say the Department of Justice level well not if you have any experience in these things if you have any experience with big organizations any experience with probably dealing with countries I'd imagine that for something that big that's a pretty big ask you need to get the the president's approval and you

[24:40]

the the president's approval and you need to get him to say it if he doesn't say it even his own people aren't going to do it he and part of the reason for having it a public statement is that it's talking to the Ukraine it's not just talking to the United States and helping the president for his reelection although it definitely does that it would be helping the president of Ukraine make sure that people understood he wanted it so it could get get done yes if they think he doesn't want it they're not going to do it anyway
I saw Andy no NGO no I think I'm pronouncing it right who was just banned by Twitter I don't know how long but he got banned by Twitter for saying I wonder if I'll get banned for just saying it
somebody says blah blah blah Scott said Whitely so it got banned from Twitter for arguing that transgender murders are

[25:44]

for arguing that transgender murders are mostly committed by black men and I thought to myself well if you can't Banford I don't know if that's the reason you got banned by the way because Twitter is not that specific but I thought to myself well that's the sort of thing you don't want to say without a little more explanation you know that's one of those things you need to soften with a little context because what he said may or may not be true I have no idea but you don't want to say it this way the way he's saying it certainly makes your antenna go up and say hey why is he saying it like that so I don't think that being banned from Twitter appropriate for this comment my personal opinion but I can certainly see how someone else would take it differently well I I can definitely see the other side of this but I don't think it was the right decision to ban him I assume that it's temporary so it's no big deal

[26:52]

but he tweeted around in a separate thing so this has nothing to do with them getting banned he tweeted around a study that showed that was talking about people's feeling about their own ethnic group and apparently apparently conservatives like other ethnic groups fine and they like their own ethnic group so conservatives kind of like all the ethnic groups according to this poll but liberals like all the other ethnic groups except the white liberals don't like themselves so so white liberals have actually a super negative opinion of of white people and I suppose we knew that but to see it on the graph was was was kind of funny and shocking all right I didn't realize there was so much self-hatred and going on but apparently there's a lot of it and here's the thing

[27:55]

there's a lot of it and here's the thing I don't understand how can anybody take pride in their ethnicity why is that even a thing I suppose I see it differently because I'm sort of a mixture of different stuff now in my case all the stuff that's my mixture turns out to be all you know white person stuff from Europe but I've never identified with the country or a specific ethnicity except for being generically white I'm kind of a mutt yeah somebody used the same word some kind of a mutt so because I'm a mutt I don't think I've ever had a strong ethnic identification except for what visually I am and when I see when I see racists a that you know yay white people invented everything and I've said this before what are the racist thinking because the racist didn't invent anything like the person who's actually saying hey white

[28:55]

person who's actually saying hey white people invented everything well that racist didn't died he didn't invent anything why is he taking credit from what other people did cuz they because they sort of looks similar pigment tone you don't get credit for my accomplishments I'm sorry I'm sorry all racists if I succeed you don't get any credit because you're also white how's that work it doesn't make any sense that racism isn't something you could agree with or disagree with it doesn't make any sense on the surface like what's it even mean how do I get credit for what other people did how does that work it's not even a thing but likewise anybody who's anybody who is saying good or bad things about an entire ethnicity how does that even make sense I've never understood it because individual differences are so tremendous I mean there are great individual differences within a family even if everybody is the

[29:58]

within a family even if everybody is the same stuff so I mean they're the individual differences are so overwhelming that I've never really understood racism yeah as a concept I just don't understand it I understand it exists Tucker Carlson apparently said when I wasn't paying attention cuz I was on his show last night but I didn't watch every minute of it because I was traveling to and fro and apparently he said that Michelle Obama might enter the race and he had some good let's say circumstantial evidence for it you know including the fact that Obama is holding back on his nomination or on his endorsement she's got a new book out so she'll be in the public she's got a great reputation so there are a few other things I'm gonna say no way so my prediction just to put it out there is no way miss Michelle Obama it gets into the race but remember I said that about Burtt I said Bloomberg's not so dumb

[31:00]

Burtt I said Bloomberg's not so dumb because he's gonna get into this race because he can't you can't win but somebody on Twitter said maybe his game is simply to hurt Trump for the benefit whoever whoever does get the primary nomination so it might be that he's just running because he'll get lots of anti Trump attention and it will change the mix of things but then last night when I was at the Commonwealth Club my interviewer / co-host if you want to I don't know what the right name would be but the person on the stage with me Melissa Kane had had a theory that I thought was pretty good so here's a theory that you probably haven't heard unless you were at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco last night for why Bloomberg might be running even though you and I can tell it's ridiculous because he's not going to get elected and it goes like this

[32:01]

Consultants make a lot of money if they're working for a rich candidate were there any really persuasive consultants people who wanted to get hired by Bloomberg to help his campaign were there any very persuasive consultants who convinced him it was a good idea now I hate to be unkind to the elderly but you can tell that like Joe Biden Bloomberg has lost a step it's kind of obvious when you see him talk and it makes me wonder if he's sort of reached an age where he can be let's say unduly influenced by people who would have a tremendous financial incentive to do that and I thought to myself thank you mark I thought to myself how likely is that that bloomberg simply got talked into it by consultants who just wanted to get

[33:02]

by consultants who just wanted to get paid to be to run his campaign and I thought to myself what are political consultants persuasion experts if persuasion experts can get you in a room and tell you you should run for president are you gonna leave the room thinking you shouldn't they're literally persuasion experts they run campaigns they know how to talk people into things they know how to frame things so I think that's actually a pretty good hypothesis we may never know the answer but let's throw that on the list and I feel bad that I didn't it didn't occur to me like when you hear it you say oh yeah that's at least possible all right Charlie Kirk has an interesting article on Fox News website you've heard the Democrats talking about how they can chew gum they can walk and chew gum at the same time and they're talking about they can do this

[34:02]

talking about they can do this impeachment stuff but at the same time they can do their jobs in Congress is there any evidence that that's true nope all the evidence is that they can't walk and chew gum in this context and charlie kirk has a good article on that but he calls out the USMC a as being an obvious example the USMC a is something that Democrats and Republicans like they both like it and they can't get it done why because they're busy is there any other reason now it's not just busy they don't want to give the president a win at the same time they're trying to impeach him so your impeachment process isn't going to go as well if you're handing out wins for the person you're trying to impeach so is it true and this is what Charlie Kirk says this is one of the synthesis from his his article he says contrary to their boot boasts the Democrats are

[35:04]

their boot boasts the Democrats are violently choking on their gum while stumbling blindly toward defeat in the twenty twenty elections violently choking on their gum while stumbling blindly toward defeat it's a good sentence I probably would have gotten rid of the adverbs but it's funny the way it is all right
sooo let's say I think I've hit my high points well let me check my notes because I don't want you to go away thinking there was something we should have talked about and didn't I think we hit it I think we hit it alright noon is so there's some weird story about Devon Nunez allegedly went to Ukraine but apparently he didn't it's just another fake news thing so he's suing some people Tucker said Assad was innocent of

[36:12]

people Tucker said Assad was innocent of the gas attacks well there is a there is a finding that says that right if you recall fact check me on this I want to check your memory most of you have been watching my periscope for some time did I not say that when the gas attacks in Syria happened the very ones that the president ended up sending missiles into the Russian Airport did I not tell you that that was probably faked I'll believe it and here's why you should think that's fake every time there's any trouble in that part of the world somebody's gonna stage a fake fake disaster or fake death fake gas attack and it's just basic you know I think you saw that with the Kurds the Kurds had a video of a mother holding her little baby that was allegedly dead but obviously was not dead so you should expect you're always going to see the fake ones even if there's a real one you're still gonna see fake ones you

[37:14]

you're still gonna see fake ones you can't get enough okay yeah Anna Navarro not getting suspended yeah so Anna Navarro had the funny tweet about the black vote
remember the rule I told you that you can be offensive if you're also funny if you're very funny you can be very offensive and people will get that it's more about the joke but if you're offensive and you're trying to be funny and you missed the funny part well then you get kicked off a Twitter Anna Navarro who is rabid anti-trump ur had a very funny tweet which actually made me laugh when she was talking about that so there was a survey that showed 34% of African Americans in the United States support President Trump and there were

[38:16]

support President Trump and there were two separate polls I think it was Emerson and Rasmussen and so we had a Navarro tweeted that there was zero chance that that was accurate unless unless the poll was taken inside the homes of what did she say inside the homes of Kanye West Ben Carson and the that this year the sheriff guy with a hat the sheriff guy with a hat so if I'm being fair yeah you know how often I like to separate the technique from whether I agree with the message so I don't buy off on her message by her tweet was actually kind of funny you know the the sheriff guy with the hat everybody knows who that is as hilarious and yeah she threw diamond and silk under the bus there too so but the fun part of that is you could detect panic

[39:16]

part of that is you could detect panic imagine if you're a Democrat and you're thinking oh I think I think we've got a chance of beating him I think we can beat Trump you know we just play our cards right get the right candidate we can beat Trump this time and then a poll comes out to say that Trump has 34 percent african-american support you know anything over 10 percent would pretty much guarantee him a landslide re-election now I'm gonna agree with in and Navarro here and she said there's zero chance that the poll was accurate I agree there is zero chance that poll is accurate now I do think the president's a black support will be up but that's a lot and I think it probably this is just speculation but probably it had to do with the way the question is asked because if you asked are you gonna vote for Trump I think you

[40:18]

are you gonna vote for Trump I think you get a different answer I don't think 34% of people are going to vote for Trump but it wouldn't surprise me if 34% look around at the country and say you know I don't see any problems I got a job you know employments good the president keeps talking about black issues he's talking about you know prison reform yeah he seems he seems to be doing good stuff so I'm not surprised at all that 34 percent of African American voters have a positive feeling about Trump's you know Trump's performance that should not surprise you at all in fact it should be higher if they're being objective which is hard to do but I wouldn't translate that into votes would not translate that into votes
yeah and mayor Pete has just about zero so the candidates we know can't win are the ones who don't have black support by now you would see it by now now I know

[41:21]

now you would see it by now now I know that Biden has sort of absorbed most of it so maybe you have to wait for Biden to leave the race before you can see how it trickles down but I don't see Warren getting it and I don't see Buddha judge getting it and I don't see yang getting it so you have to ask yourself who will be left in the race who could also get the black vote in a in a dominant way you know not just majority but a really super dominant way the way Hillary Clinton could have or did really and Obama did and I think there are not many people there not many people in that group Kamala Cory Booker and probably Bernie I think Bernie if he got the nomination could probably do all right with the black vote does there's no I don't think anybody's disliking Bernie but if you look at a Bernie crowd how many black people do you see in the crowd that's sort of a do me a fact

[42:23]

crowd that's sort of a do me a fact check on that if you had a photo of a Bernie Sanders event let me call one up Bernie Sanders rally so I'm just going to look at some images when I searched for Bernie Sanders rally and I'm just gonna blow up one of the photos turn the sideways and I'll tell you what I see so yeah you probably can't see it I don't see any african-american oh maybe one it's hard to tell you know I'm not really good at judging people's ethnicity just from the photo but yeah of course you can't trust the photos of the of who's behind the candidate because those were actually selected for for the visual effect so I

[43:25]

selected for for the visual effect so I guess I can't tell from this you'd have to see the larger crowd not the ones behind the candidate because they're selected for the camera but even when Bernie had his commercial last election it was a ward winning commercial room where everybody was streaming toward the ocean to hear Bernie I don't think there were a lot of black people in that picture so so maybe Bernie anyway I'm sticking with my Kamala Harris prediction because she's higher in the polls and Cory Booker and probably the only one who could lock down the black vote she's actually saying that somewhat directly now by calling it the Obama coalition and sooner or later the people in charge over at the DNC are gonna agree now remember I told you that Harris has the second most endorsements I think Biden there's a binder war and

[44:27]

I think Biden there's a binder war and as the most and forget but she has the second most but she has the most major endorsements for a candidate who could also win you know or at least win the primary and make a good run at the presidency so I'd say she's still dangerous and I will point out again they're her biggest problem was that laughing like a like a little girl at her own jokes and it looks like she stopped doing it so we're gonna have to give her a little more exposure on camera for me to be sure that that's the case but it looks like she's cleaned up her game yeah just her presentation game and if that's true that's gonna make her a lot harder to beat so keep an eye out for that all right I will talk to you all later
