You're listening to Comedy Central.
When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
You're rolling? But that's all about to change.
Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth D Done of CBS News, listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting
September 17.
Live from Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah presents.
Vot Gasm 2020 2020, worst holiday special ever. Oh yeah, welcome to the Daily Show everybody.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
And thank you for coming out.
Take a seat, take a seat.
Let's do this.
I'm Trevor Noah.
The Democratic presidential debate ended just moments ago,
and we are coming to you live, people.
Live!
That's right. 100% live.
And I'll prove it.
I made this guacamole when the debate started and look, now it's totally brown.
Now, between the debates and the impeachment of the president, it has been a wild couple of days
in American politics, and we're going to cover both tonight.
But let's start with the final debate of 2019, which was hosted by PBS and Politico and taped in front of a moving background
that looked like the boring part of the Matrix.
Now, tonight's debate was the smallest one yet with only seven candidates on the stage.
It was also the whitest debate yet. No Julian Castro, no Kamala Harris, no Corey Booker. Basically
Democratic debates are like horror movies. They start out with a very diverse
cost of characters and then all the black people are quietly and quickly killed
off. And that was actually one of the topics of tonight's debate.
Why isn't the democratic field more diverse and more representative of its base?
Former President Obama said this week when asked who should be running countries that
if women were in charge, you'd see a significant improvement on just about everything.
He also said, quote, if you look at the world and look at the problems, it's usually
old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way. Senator Sanders, you are the oldest candidate on
stage this evening. And I'm white as well.
Whoa.
Did Bernie just yell, and I'm white?
You can't just say that, Bernie. That's Trump's campaign slogan. What are you doing? That came off so weird getting asked about being old, and then all of a sudden you like, and I'm white, and I'm white as well, and you're like, and I'm white as well, and you like, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you, and you, and you, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and th, and, and th, and th, and th, like, like, like, like, and th, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, like, like, th, like, th, like, and th, th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, say that, Bernie. That's Trump's campaign slogan. What are you doing?
That came off so weird. Getting asked about being old, and then all of a sudden you're like,
and I'm white as well. It almost makes it worse. It's like your wife is shitting on you for cheating,
and you cut in like, and it was with your sister.
I also love how Obama just made an off-the-cuff comment at an event, and now it's become a real thing. that that He said he thinks that women would make better leaders and should be president and now
all the candidates have to deal with the shit that he's just thrown in. I feel
like Obama's just gonna start messing with the campaigns like tomorrow he'll
be like if you asked me the best president will be someone without a no's no's like no's like now. Now to be fair the to be to be to be to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th tean. tean. the tean. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the fair, the stage wasn't completely white tonight.
Thanks to Andrew Yang being there.
So basically it was a bunch of white people and then one Asian guy, like an adult reboot of the Goonies.
And Andrew Yang had a really insightful take on why there weren't more people of color up on that stage.
The average net worth of a black household is only 10% out of a white household.
For Latinos, it's 12% and the question is why am I the lone candidate of color on this stage?
Fewer than 5% of Americans donate to political campaigns. You know what you
need to donate to political campaigns? Disposable income.
Yeah, Andrew Yang makes a really, really great point.
Think about it. To make it onto the debate stage. Tonight's debate stae candidates were required to have to to to to to to to the to the to have the the the to have the the the to have the the the the the the the the loan the the the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan a the loan cauanananananananananananitenate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candidate candid. the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan the loan thoananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan c. the about it. To make it onto the debate stage, tonight's debate stage, candidates were required to have
200,000 donors, but if a candidate has supporters who can't afford to make donations, if they don't
have donauntas, if they don't have donaunit, thoan.
Then't the t voters, give me money and I'll make your life better.
And voters are like,
oh, man, if I had money, I wouldn't need you to make my life better.
And one of the big advantages President Trump has right now
is that the economy is doing extremely well.
So for tonight's candidates, the challenge was explaining to voters why all that glitters is not gold. This economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy economy is not not th economy economy economy economy is not th economy is not th economy is not th. This economy is not th is not thi economy is not thi. thi. thi. thiol-I is not the the economy is not thi. the thiol-I thiol-upon. tho-up. tho-up. tho-up. tho-up. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thoan. to to tooan. tooan. together. thauu. thau. today. thau. to thoe. the. the. the. is not gold. This economy is not working for most of us,
for the middle class and,
I know you're only ever supposed to say middle class
and not poor in politics,
but we've got to talk about poverty in this country.
America's middle class is being hollowed out,
and that working families and poor people are being left behind.
Trump goes around saying, the economy is doing great.
Do you know what, real inflation accounted for wages went up last year?
1.1%. That ain't great.
Damn, Bernie really hates 1%.
It doesn't matter what the 1% is. He just hates 1%.
Wage increases, top earners, milk, it doesn't matter.
He's just like, get out of there with that no-fat-ish.
I want milk straight out of the cow's peats.
But Bernie makes a great point.
He makes a really great point.
The economy can be doing well,
but that doesn't mean everyday Americans
will be seeing those benefits.
But the truth is the big beef tonight wasn't between the Democrats and Donald Trump. It was between the Democrats and Pete Budajjjjjjjjah, South Bend Mayor and
old young Sheldon. You can tell, you can tell that Budajez is the man to beat right now,
because everyone was gunning for him. When we were in the last debate, Mayor, you basically mocked
the hundred years of experience on the stage. I think this experience works.
And I have not
denigrated your experience as a local official. You actually did denigrate my
experience, Senator, and I was going to let it go because we got bigger fish to
fry here, but you implied that my relation... I don't think we have bigger fish
to fry than picking a president of the United States. We should have someone heading up this ticket that is actually won. If you want to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to try try to try to try try the the the the the the the thea thea their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I. I. I. I. I. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te want to talk about the capacity to win, try putting together a coalition to bring
you back to office with 80% of the vote as a gay dude in Mike Pence's Indiana.
Oh, that was a mic drop. A gay dude in Indiana. I feel like wherever Mike Pence is right now, his spider sense just lit up.
He's like, there's a gay man in Indiana?
I must go.
Mother, hand me my largest Bible.
Now, Clovershaw, going off to Budagegege, and Elizabeth Warren.
Now, Clovershah, going off to Budegege's and and Elizabeth Warren and this came on the topic of campaign donations.
I've said to anyone who wants to donate to me if you want to donate to me
that's fine but don't come around later expecting to be named ambassador.
The mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine
thin told the wine that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900 a bottle wine.
Think about who comes to that.
Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States.
Mr. Mayor.
Yeah, you know what? Elizabeth Warren has a great point.
Budajjjj shouldn't be holding fundraisers in wine caves.
He's not even old enough to drink.
And also, what the hell is a wine cave?
Like, I don't want a president picked that way.
I want a president picked by someone in a tequila cave.
That sounds like a lot more fun.
A wine cave sounds like where Batman goes to relax.
It was a long day, Alfred. Open up a bottle of rosé. So Elizabeth Warren hit Pete Buduja's really hard
on accepting campaign donations from the ultra-wealthy.
But clearly, Budajaj's doesn't subscribe in the whole,
don't talk back to your eldest thing,
because he threw some punches of his own.
Senator, your presidential campaign right now,
as we speak, is funded in part by money you transferred, having raised it
at those exact same big-ticket fundraisers you now denounce.
This is the problem with issuing purity tests you cannot yourself pass.
If I pledge never to be in the company of a progressive democratic donor. I couldn't be up here
Senator your net worth is 100 times mine now supposing that you went home
Feeling the holiday spirit and decided to go on to peep for America dot com and give the maximum allowable by law
$2,800 would that pollute my campaign because it came from a wealthy person?
Ooh. Pete Budegier is because it came from a wealthy person? Ooh.
Pete Budger has just called Elizabeth Warren a wealthy person.
You realize for progressive white people, that's like being called the N-word.
Yeah.
They're like, how dare you call me wealthy?
I'm living comfortably, okay?
And you could see Elizabeth Warren wasn't liking that, because she did that thing that white women do when someone fights with them, they just face forward, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not, I'm, I'm, I's, I's, I's, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi......... thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi. that, thi. thi. thi. wasn't liking that, because she did that thing that white women do when someone fights with them, they just face forward, like I'm not hearing
anything.
Also, it was pretty slick that Pete's warne should donate to his campaign. Right? He was just like,
go to Pete Demarcuster.
Because like, it was pretty slick that Pete basically, to donate Demarker.com. Because like, if he got every Democratic candidate to give him 100 bucks, that's like $4 billion.
That's a genius scheme.
So basically, Klobyshaw attacked Pete,
Warren attacked Pete, and then even Bernie
decided to jump in on that white-on-white crime.
Now, there's a real competition going on up here.
My good friend Joe, and he's a good friend, a good friend, a good friend, is a good friend, is a good friend, a good friend, is a good friend, a good friend, a good friend, is a good friend, a good the, is a good the, is a good the, is a good the, is a good the, a good the, a good the, a good friend. He's received contributions from 44 billionaires.
Pete, on the other hand, he's trailing, Pete.
You only got 39 billionaires contributing.
So Pete, we look forward to you.
I know you're an energetic guy and a competitive guy
to see if you could take on Joe on that issue.
But what is not... Oh man, Bernie's and gee, like first of all, Biden is just like, wait, what happened?
Wait, wait, who? Did I get the money?
And I don't know what it is, but whenever Bernie and Pete fight, I feel like I'm watching back to the future, you know?
It's just like, Doc, Doc, we gotta
get big money, we gotta get money for big donors, Doc, we gotta get money for big donors.
He's like, shut up and get back to the Delorian. The flux capacitor is at 1% and you know how I feel
about 1%! So those are the big moments, those are the big moments from tonight's debate. Although there was one other moment that was just to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to get to get to get to get to get to get the the thi the thiome their their thi. their thi. their thi.

We the the the the the the thi money th the the th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the to get to get to get to get to get to to to to the to the thean the the the the the the the the the th are the big moments, those are the big moments from tonight's debate. Although there was one other moment that was just too powerful to ignore.
First of all, we have not had enough women in our government.
When I was on Trevor Noah's show once, I explained how in the history of the Senate
there was something like 2,000 men and only 50 women in the whole history,
and he said if a night club had numbers that bad they would shut it no. No, please. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not, I'm not going to lie.
That was a brilliant point by that trivanoa guy.
He made a lot of sense, and technically, technically, if my line gets a response at the presidential debate, doesn't that mean that now I'm also in the race? No, I'm joking. I'm joking. I can't run, guys. I was born in Kenya. So, that was the
final debate of the year. And honestly, it was really exciting. There were policies, there
were discussions, there was enough of a banter to make it something to watch, and it had to be exciting, because this has been an exciting week.
Think about it, just yesterday.
The 45th President of the United States got impeached.
Yeah, how well, you guys might be cheering, but when Democrats in the House tried to cheer
last night, Nancy Pelosi, shut it down real fast.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, maintaining control of her caucus
with a glance and a gesture alone at one point yesterday.
On this vote, the yeas are 233.
The nays are 197.
Present is one.
Article 1 is one. Article one is adopted.
Thank you.
She asked the question.
The question...
Damn.
Nancy didn't want to hear any gloating last night.
She killed that celebration quick.
Did you see that?
That kind of look would send a champagne cork back into the bottle.
That's how intense that was.
They were like, poop!
Whoop!
But while the Democrats were impeaching, the impeachee himself was holding a rally in Michigan.
And he wants everyone to know that he's totally okay with being impeached.
It doesn't really feel like we're being impeached.
Do you? being impeached. It doesn't really feel like we're being impeached.
That's why you know with Richard Nixon, I just see it as a very dark era.
Very dark, very old.
You don't even like to think.
I don't know about you, but I'm having a good time.
It's crazy.
Oh.
Poor Trump, man. He just became the third president in history to get impeached.
And you see what's happening.
He's trying to convince everyone that it doesn't bother him.
You know, he's just like, it doesn't even feel like we got impeached.
Like, yeah, no, not we.
Not we, you got impeached.
There's no, there's no, you know.
You know what?
This reminds me of, that wasn't nothing.
I did it on purpose because I thought it would be funny.
And your friend is like, dude, I can see the white stuff under your skin.
You're like, yeah, I'm going home.
So Trump, Trump rarely wants people to think it was a travesty. I'm the first person to ever get impeached in this little crime.
Like, I feel guilty.
You know what they call it?
Impeachment light.
It's impeachment light.
You know what they have done?
They've cheapened the impeachment process.
And now, anybody that becomes president, I mean, they could have a phone call and they get impeached.
Okay, first of all, impeachment light.
There's no impeachment light.
Okay?
Impeachment is like herpes.
You either have it or you don't.
No, don't worry, baby. This is just some of my dad herpes right here.
And also, I like how he says everyone who becomes president from now on can get impeached for having a phone call. Obviously, what Trump said on the phone call with Ukraine is what matters, not the fact
that he just made a call.
Trump's either being disingenuous or he took completely the wrong lesson from this whole
thing.
Because this would be like, OJ going, all right, thinks that Trump is just setting up an excuse
for not calling Eric on his birthday. That's what he's just doing. I'm sorry, Eric, I just
can't call you, I can't risk another impeachment. But you said it was impeachment light,
still too risky, boy, too risky. So look, man, Donald Trump can try and act like he doesn't care about impeachment.
But you cannot deny that this is a bad way for him to end the year.
So here at the Daily Show, we thought, with this being our final show of 2019, we would
do the President a solid, and focus on one of his major achievements of this year,
inventing an incredible array of new words.
I know words, I had the best words.
He was awarded the Bronze Star
and the combat infant treatment,
badge, heart, lung, and liver transpense,
and to be legitimatized.
Made a pivotal, really, and I mean this was pivotal.
Harrowing alone, if you look at the heroin epidemic,
to fully reauthorized the nine-elected 11 victims,
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
we must seek real bipartisan solutions.
As bad it is, it meant something.
All 50 states to immediately waive all applicable state taxes.
Americans of all walks of life rolls up.
And we used to have radio three years, like I think radio.
You know, we just said another stock market.
You saw that, right? The stock market on January 23rd.
Venezuela's.
By Venezuela's.
So, Venezuela's.
I hope they now go and take a look at the oranges.
The oranges of the investigations, the beginnings.
You've really put a big investment in our country.
We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple.
More than 2,000 years ago, a brilliant star shown in the East Wise Men traveled far, far afield.
And then they announced there was no by snow.
You know what?
To improve this country and the government.
I have to... But there's no better word than stupid.
I'll wait to see what he comes up with next year.
We'll we'll be right back. When we're try to
thee
this
When 60 Minutes
premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
This is 60 Minutes.
It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
But that's all about to change.
Like none of this stuff gets looked at.
That's what's incredible.
I'm Seth Done of CBS News.
Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. Welcome back to the daily show.
My guest tonight is an award-winning journalist with Al Jazeera English and The Intercept.
He's also host of the Deconstructed Podcast. Please welcome, Medi Hassan.
Thanks for having you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, Bill's being on the show.
Let's jump straight into it.
The debate just ended.
What did you make of it as someone who was just watching it apart from like us who was watching it?
I think we learned two things from this debate.
Number one, Amy Clobyshar really loathes Pete Budajjahj. That came out very clearly I think. She was waiting for
this moment. She came prepped with her, you know, her stats. She's like, you lost by 20
points. Right, right. She came prepared. Slightly unfair to Pete Budage. He lost by 25 points
in Indiana when he ran for Statewide office. And the second thing I think we learned is, the democrats need to run a Muslim for President, because I'll the Democrats the Democrats thea thea thea thea thea thea thea themem th. thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th, th, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, the, the, theeate. theatease theatease theease theateate. theate. the, to to to to to to to you what, Trevor, you won't find me anywhere near a wine cave. I don't even know what a wine cave is.
Right?
That's the solution to the wine cave issue.
That was an interesting issue that people were like arguing about now.
It was like, do you take money from rich people?
Do you take money from wealthy donors and that class?
And that was an interesting, you know, argument within the party. Yes. With Budaje's saying we need everything we can to beat Donald Trump. He has a lot of money. He's raised a lot of money from
big donors. We've seen this. Yeah. And so if you don't have enough money you can't
compete. Elizabeth Warren going, no, that money becomes part of the problem. So
where do you think that argument ended on the night? I think the argument
the argument is very clear. I'm very much very very very very the argument very the argument very much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much the the the the the the team. I'm very much team very much the team very much team, I'm very much the the argument is very much the the the the the argument, I the argument, I the argument, I the argument, I the argument, I'm very very very very the argument is very very very the argument is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very, I'm very very very very very very very very, I'm, I'm very tie. I'm very team. I'm very much much much much much much much much much much much much much much. I'm very much much much much. I'm very much. I'm very much. I'm very much. I'm very much, I'm very much, I'm very much, I'm very much, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm very much, I'm, I'm very much team Warren Sanders on this. It's very clear that if you take money from lots of rich people, they expect stuff in return.
That is the history of politics, history of American politics in particular.
You talked about it earlier in the show, money talks in this country.
And the problem with BudaJet, you had that great comeback to Elizabeth Warren,
you know, I couldn't to give you a job. He won't do
that. He hasn't ruled out appointing you know his rich donors to ambassadors
and we've seen that now. Look at this guy Gordon Sondland who testified in the
impeachment, ambassador to the EU. It's not a diplomat. He's a hotel he's a hotel dude who gave a million dollars to Donald to to do to to to to to to to to to th. That th. That th. That th. That is th. th. th. th. thu say that, I think that's a problem for the Democratic Party and for
Pete Boudeged.
It was an interesting, it was an interesting debate tonight, because for the first time it felt
like we actually heard what people had to say.
You only had seven people up on the stage as opposed to the usual 50, right?
And so you heard from all the people who were up there. What was interesting is somebody like Andrew Yang, who barely gets time to speak normally came out today,
he came out swinging, he had his stats,
he really made a few great points
that people hadn't brought up before,
but it still feels like he's an outlier
in the race even though he's amongst.
Do you think this was his knight? I mean, it's his night in as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as much as their, as to, as to, as to, as to, as to, as to, as to, as their, as, as to to to to to to to to, he's, he's, he's, he, he, he, he, he, he, he's, he's, he's, he's, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, the the the the to the the to tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttoday, too, to to to to the, he t, attention, speaking, get a couple of good gags for once. He still has his, you know, what was it? Joe Biden once said about Rugee-Gyelene,
his entire vocabulary is a noun of verb in 9-11.
With Yang, it's like a noun of verb and I'll give you $1,000 a month.
That's what it always comes about to even the race convict,
which is fine as far as it goes. Clobo-I.

His entire thease. His entire thease. His entire the, she went after. I think tonight we saw the first crack in the Buda-Jedge electability argument.
Until now we're like, this is the guy, he's electable, and she pointed out, you know, the
emperor has no clothes.
This guy is a mayor from South Bend, Indiana.
Do you know how many votes he won in 2015 to be re-elected?
What, like, wedding, right? At an Indian wedding. I had like half that many people at my wedding, right?
That's his qualification?
I'm going to win 70 million votes on the base of the 8,000 people in South America.
But now here's an argument many other people might make.
They might go.
If you look at the Democrats' history in the races,
Democratic voters generally like to vote for somebody who doesn't have a long history in politics. Many people would have said that Barack Obama came out of nowhere.
Many people said that Bill Clinton came out of nowhere.
Many people said Kennedy came out of nowhere.
And so if you look at the history of Democratic voters.
But ultimately Kennedy was a senator,
Obama was a senator, Clinton was a governor.
They weren't mayor of the fourth biggest town in Indiana.
Right. And I think there is a double standard here. Would we consider a 37-year-old person of color or a 37-year-old woman?
They would be laughed off the stage in a way that a 37-year-old confident Harvard-Grad
white guy isn't.
And I think that is a problem. I think this idea that, I think there's a problem in the democratic-I the democratic, I'm, I'm, can't measure this stuff. I mean, there's a poll last week that showed pretty much every major
candidate including Klobuchar can beat Trump nationally. So I say to people at home, watching,
just vote for the person you think is best. Stop trying to be a pundit. I'm a pundit. We don't know, who predicted Trump, very few, who predicted, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, to?, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to. to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to be to be to be to be to be., to., to., to., to., to. to. to. to. to. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to would be the best leader who can heal this country after four years of neo-fascism and white nationalism.
And stop saying, oh, stop obsessing over Joe Six-Pack and who he's going to vote for
the guy in the diner in rural Pennsylvania.
He's probably going to vote for Trump again, sorry to break it to you.
Work on mobilizing your base, work on mobilizing people, work on mobilizing young people and the people who do that from where I'm sitting are Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Right.
Vote for the person who you think would make the best present.
Shocking.
That's a bold, bold statement.
Mery Hassan everybody.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.

This has been a Comedy Central Podcast.
When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
But that's all about to change.
Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apple podcasts starting
September 17.
