>> Cardi B, interviewed Joe Biden, and made
it very clear that she is a proponent of Medicare
for all.
We knew that when she interviewed Bernie Sanders,
and Biden, at one point in the interview,
according to the transcript of the interview.
Responded by saying, there's no reason why
we can't have all of that, but what was really
interesting is that portion was cut out from
the video.
And so I'm gonna show you the exchange, and
pay close attention to where there's a bit
of a jump cut.
Take a look.
>> I of course want free Medicare, and this
is why it's important to have free Medicare,
cuz I know what's happening right now.
You see what, we should have been free Medicare
for a long time.
I of course, think that we need a free college
education, that's second, and I want black
people to stop getting killed.
And no does this worry, I'm tired of it, I
just want more stricter laws.
That is fair to like citizens, and it's fair
for cops to kill somebody.
That is that doesn't have a weapon on them,
you go to jail.
You know what if I kill somebody?
I gotta go to jail you got to go to jail too,
that's what I want.
And it's so sad that a pandemic has to happen,
so people could open their eyes.
>> So when I was producing the story, I read
the transcript, and then I watched the video
to timecode it.
And have it ready for you guys on the show,
and I kept listening to it, over and over
and over again.
I'm like, wait, where did Biden say, what's
in the transcript?
It's not in the video well, they cut out this
part where Biden, responded with there's no
reason why we can't have all of that.
Presidents have to take responsibility, I
understand one of your favorite presidents
is Franklin Roosevelt.
Roosevelt said, the American people can take
anything, if you tell them the truth.
Sometimes, the truth is hard, but right now,
we're in a position where, we have an opportunity
to make so much progress.
The American public has had the blinders taken
off.
So look, I mean, obviously, all we can really
do is speculate as to why, that portion of
his statement was taken out of the video version
of the interview.
But I just found that strange, just incredibly
strange.
>> Yeah, well, look, I don't know what they
did or didn't do with the video, but I don't
think it's that strange.
Cuz he said, the Cardi B, we can have all
that including healthcare for all.
But he doesn't mean, that he doesn't want
to do health care for all he was very, very
clear about that in the campaign.
And even after winning the primary, he was
adamant.
He said, if Medicare for all makes it all
the way through congress, he will veto it.
So I think that he was on with Cardi B, and
thought, this is a good way to get votes.
I'll just not along and say, yes to everything
doesn't really matter.
And maybe his handlers thought, no, remember,
all of our donors wanna make sure that you
don't do Medicare for all.
They might get upset by that, and our donors,
of course, are way more important than Cardi
B. And it doesn't matter what you say, to
Cardi B, we are gonna tell all the rest of
the media you are on with Cardi B.
They're all gonna congratulate you for being
really cool, and they're not gonna pay any
attention to the policy.
Now the reality is Cardi B, is way better
on policy than Joe Biden is.
And and so I look Jared Jackson is our senior
producer, you guys see him on every once in
a while on the production meeting today.
He said, he thought basically the whole thing
was patronizing.
He is like, you're Cardi B, I'm Joey B and
all that nonsense, right?
>> He is right.
>> And I look you can look at it in two different
ways, it's playful, it's patronizing.
Those are two different ways of looking at
him, but when you strip out the policy, well,
there's nothing left, but patronizing.
Yeah, I think JR is right.
I hadn't watched the interview when, we had
our production meeting today.
And as I was producing this story, I was like,
this is an awful interview.
Cardi B is like, on the money, like she's
absolutely right about the policy, she's absolutely
right about where we are, as a country right
now.
And really the only statement of substance
we got from Joe Biden, was him urging young
people to vote.
So let's watch that portion of the interview,
and we'll come back and discuss.
>> In 2016, if 18 to 23 or 24 year olds, have
voted in the same percentage as the rest of
the population.
We would have had Hillary Clinton, not him,
the vote matters.
That's why you keep talking to people about
the need to vote, the vote matters.
>> Yes.
It matters a great deal, and so we got to
take, look at the generation your generation,
and the young millennials beyond that.
They can own this, they can own this outcome,
and they can own what happens in the next
election.
They are the ones that can change things dramatically,
if they show up and vote.
>> Yeah, except, part of the reason why a
lot of young people sat it out, and didn't
go vote is.
Because they felt that there wasn't anything
motivating to go, I mean, for me it was motivating
like Trump's awful, right?
But you got to give people something to vote
for rather, than just gives people something
to vote against.
And what amazes me, is there repeating the
exact same mistake.
I mean, just take a look at what they're doing
with the Democratic convention.
And the like, long lineup of Republicans,
who are set to speak at that convention.
So in a lot of ways, I mean, I feel like Biden,
with the way he has agreed to put this convention
together, is going even further than Hillary
did.
It's kinda like, no, no, you're gonna have
to vote, okay?
You're gonna have to vote for me, and I'm
gonna slap you in the face, with like the
John K6, and the Mike Bloomberg.
And the, what was her name?
Whitman's of the world.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Once the price of one you get Christy Whitman,
who was the former governor of New Jersey
was a republican.
And Meg Whitman, who ran as a Republican candidate
for governor of California.
So look, I understand putting out one or two
republicans in the DNC, like I think John
case, it makes sense to make the argument
to anyone who's leaning.
Hey, remember, there's a reason why you should
vote against Trump, as a Republican to care
about the country.
But it is stacked with Republicans, and and
then you turn to okay, well, are there any
progresses?
Yeah, Bernie Sanders, speaking tonight by
the way we're doing live, play by play coverage
all week of it.
So don't miss any of it 9 to 11 o'clock eastern
every night, and that's a tyt.com/live or
youtube.com/TYT.
So now, but AOC a young progressive gets pre
recorded 60 seconds, that's absurd.
So and look, if they really cared about getting
young caresses to vote, you know who's a really
strong progressive Cardi B. And so I get it
that they're just not in the same culture,
and I don't think Joe Biden, has any idea
what she's talking about.
He says, we're gonna have all that if you
notice, he didn't just talk about health care,
he's talking about, I want cops to stop killing
black people.
Joe Biden doesn't look, it's not fair to say
he doesn't agree with that.
But he doesn't want really any major police
reform, so he doesn't agree with Cardi B's
policies on that.
So stop giving patronising interviews, where
he just tell yell at young people to vote,
and actually listen to what she's saying.
And feature people like that, they featured
Cardi B in the convention, the right wing
would go nuts.
And you know what that would do?
That would create a lot of news, that young
people would here about, how the Democratic
party agrees with Cardi B.
When she talks about looking for young people,
for black people, for all people when it comes
to Medicare for all, etc.
And you would have the Republicans attacking
those groups of people, but they would never
have the courage to do that.
Instead, they stacked and packed the DNC,
with the Republicans.
