SOMETHING THAT GAVE A LOT OF
DEMOCRATS THE VAPORS, MADE THEM
VERY WISTFUL.
WE’LL TALK ABOUT IT ON THE OTHER
SIDE.
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE STANDING UP
WHEN YOU WERE A PRESIDENT SAYING
IT’S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY?
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY?
I MEAN, LITERALLY.
>> THOSE WORDS DIDN’T COME OUT
OF OUR MOUTHS WHEN WE WERE IN
OFFICE.
>> I DON’T UNDERSTAND HIS
INABILITY TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT
PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH.
HE JUST CAN’T RELATE IN ANY WAY.
>> SO HE SERVED AS PART OF
OBAMA/BIDEN.
HE’S APPARENTLY GOING TO RUN AS
PART OF BIDEN/OBAMA.
ALEXI, OTHER THAN REMINDING
PEOPLE OF, OH, I DON’T KNOW, A
PAST PRESIDENCY, WHAT DID YOU
FIND NOTABLE ABOUT THAT TEASE
VIDEO FROM A LONGER SEGMENT
BEING RELEASED?
>> OF COURSE, THE FACT THAT THEY
MET IN PERSON.
THAT MEANS THAT JOE BIDEN HAS
BEEN IN D.C. RECENTLY, WHICH IS
INTERESTING.
BUT THAT’S A SEPARATE
CONVERSATION.
I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING
ABOUT THIS VIDEO WITH OBAMA AND
BIDEN, OF COURSE, IS THAT WE’RE
GOING TO BE SEEING A LOT MORE OF
OBAMA IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
MONTHS UNTIL THE NOVEMBER
ELECTION.
BUT TO YOUR POINT JUST NOW, WHAT
IS INTERESTING IS WE HEAR A LOT
FROM BIDEN LATELY, VIRTUALLY AND
IN PERSON WITH REMARKS,
RELEASING POLICY ABOUT HOW HE
WOULD BE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF
LEADER THAN PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WE’RE MOSTLY HEARING THAT FROM
BIDEN.
WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT
OBAMA IS NOW COMING INTO THE
FOLD TO HELP PITCH BIDEN TO
VOTERS BY HINGING ON THE
EXPERIENCE THAT BIDEN HAS AND
THE EXPERIENCE THEY HAD TOGETHER
LEADING THROUGH DIFFERENT
NATIONAL CRISES AT THIS TIME,
NOT JUST THE CORONAVIRUS, BUT
OTHER THINGS LIKE POLICE
BRUTALITY AND SYSTEMIC RACISM
AND OTHER CRISES THAT THE
COUNTRY WILL FACE.
THAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT, NOT
JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
FOR A CONTRAST TO TRUMP, WHO HAS
THE MOTTO I ALONE CAN FIX IT.
THEY WANT TO KNOW THAT BIDEN
WILL HAVE SMART PEOPLE AROUND
HIM TO HELP.
AND HE WILL MAKE THE CASE, NOT
JUST BIDEN IS SAYING THIS IS MY
EXPERIENCE, THIS IS WHAT I’VE
DONE.
AND SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT.
BUT TO CONVINCE PEOPLE WHO ARE
NOT SURE OF BIDEN’S EXPERIENCE,
OR MAYBE ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE
CRITICISM BY PRESIDENT TRUMP,
BIDEN IS OLD, WE DON’T KNOW IF
HE WILL BE ABLE TO LEAD.
SOMEONE LIKE OBAMA CAN COME IN
AND GIVE REINFORCEMENT TO BIDEN
AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE’VE
DONE, THIS IS WHO I KNOW HIM TO
BE AS A PERSON.
IT’S A LOT MORE POWERFUL COMING
