NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES, IN FACT SOME WEAR RED SWEATERS.
I'M TALKING ABOUT KEN BONE, WHO IS A TOWNHALL AUDIENCE MEMBER
WHO ASKED ABOUT ENERGY POLICY DURING LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE.
TWITTER JUST EXPLODED WITH LOVE AND ADMIRATION FOR KEN BONE.
HE SAT DOWN WITH CNN.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE SAID.
>> I WENT FROM LAST NIGHT HAVING 74 FOLLOWERS, WHO OF WHICH
WAS MY GRANDMOTHER, TO NOW HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CARE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY BUT I'M GLAD
THEY ARE ENGAGED IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS.
>> I THINK THEY THOUGHT YOU WERE QUITE CHARMING.
YOU SAID WHY YOU CHOSE TO RARE WHERE THAT RED SWEATER.
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US?
>>YEAH, I HAD A REALLY NICE ALL OF SUIT.
MY MOTHER WOULD'VE BEEN VERY PROUD TO SEE ME WEARING IT
ON TELEVISION.
BUT I HAVE GAINED ABOUT 30 POUNDS AND WHEN I WENT TO GET IN
MY CAR THE MORNING OF THE DEBATE I SPLIT THE SEAT OF MY PANTS.
SO THE RED SWEATER IS PLAN B.
>> THIS IS AMERICA.
THIS GUY, HIS NEW NAME IS MR.
AMERICA.
I LOVE THIS GUY.
>>I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
>>HE WENT WITH THE RED SWEATER BECAUSE THE ALL OF SUIT
BUSTED OPEN.
THE ALL OF SUIT, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE.
AND WHO SAID ON NATIONAL TV THAT HAVE GAINED TOO MUCH WEIGHT
AND I SPLIT MY PANTS?
>>LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE MEANS THAT HAVE BEEN
CREATED ABOUT KENNETH BONE.
HE IS QUITE THE LEGEND.
I LIKE THIS ONE FROM OFFICE SPACE.
YES, HALLOWEEN.
GET READY, IT IS COMING UP.
ANYONE CAN GO AS KEN BONE.
BONE THUGS AND HARMONY, LOVE IT.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS WHY HE IS AN UNDECIDED VOTER
IS
BECAUSE HE WANTS HARMONY.
>> I LOVE THIS ONE.
HIM.
>>INSTEAD OF HER WITH SCARLETT JOHANSSON.
>>
HE JUST HAS THIS GENERAL CHARM AND POSITIVE ENERGY TO HIM.
>>HE IS JUST GOOD VIBES ONLY.
>> WHEN WE WERE DOING LIVE COVERAGE LAST NIGHT AND HE
CAME ON WE INSTANTLY EXPLODED.
WE WERE LIKE, THIS GUY IS AWESOME.
IT IS OCTOBER AND HE HAS THE MOST OBVIOUS CHRISTMAS
SWEATER OF ALL TIME ON.
AND HE JUST WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ENERGY POLICY.
>>WHY DO YOU GUYS THINK HE CAPTIVATED THE NATION SO MUCH?
DO YOU THINK IT WAS HIS QUESTION OR HOW HE LOOKED?
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
>> FIRST OF ALL, THE SWEATER, BOOM, HOMERUN.
IS AN INSTANT CLASSIC.
THEN AFTERWARDS A TWEET WENT AROUND OF HIM TAKING
PICTURES OF AN EMPTY TOWNHALL.
>> YES, LET'S WATCH THAT VIDEO.
THERE HE IS WITH HIS DISPOSABLE CAMERA TAKING PHOTOS.
>> IT IS NOT A SMART PHONE.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
>>HE IS WINDING UP AND TAKING PHOTOS.
I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
>> WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE UNDECIDED VOTER IN AMERICA
I WANTED TO BE KEN BONE.
THERE IS OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE MAYBE PRETENDING TO BE
UNDECIDED, OR YOU WANT TO PUT A FACE TO THAT IDEA OF THE
PERSON THAT CANDIDATES ARE STILL TRYING TO REACH OUT TO.
AND I HOPE IT IS KEN BONE.
HE IS JUST A SMILEY, HAPPY GUY.
>> THE TWO COMMENTS YOU GUYS MADE CONNECT.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT KEN BONE?
IT IS AN OBVIOUS INNOCENCE.
YOU CAN TELL IMMEDIATELY.
AND THAT IS WHY YOU WANT HIM TO BE THE UNDECIDED VOTER.
KEN IS A GOOD GUY, EVERYONE KNOWS HE IS A GOOD GUY.
BUT HE IS STILL UNDECIDED.
CAN STILL HASN'T MADE UP HIS MIND, BUT YOU TRUST HIM.
HE IS A GOOD GUY.
HE IS THE KIND OF GUY TO GO ON CNN TO TELL YOU ABOUT HOW
HIS GRANDMOTHER HAS TWO TWITTER ACCOUNTS.
>>AND ABOUT HOW HE IS HAPPY THAT PEOPLE ARE ENGAGED IN THE
POLITICAL PROCESS.
I UNDERSTAND, I DO AGREE.
>>THEN AGAIN WE TALK ABOUT THIS GUY ñ
IS THIS THE SAME GUY WHO IS PROBABLY LIKE A WEEK, THERE
ARE PEOPLE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, I SHOULD GET ON THAT.
WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE IS CHECKING THEIR PHONE AND
CHECKING EVERY LATEST BREAKING STORY.
>>HIS QUESTION ON ENERGY POLICY WAS NOT AN OBVIOUS QUESTION.
I THINK THAT IS ALSO PART OF WHY ñ THEY ALMOST NEVER ASK IT.
THAT IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I LIKE KENNETH BONE, WE
SHOULD REFER TO HIM BY HIS FULL NAME.
HE ASKED A DIFFICULT ñ A QUESTION WE DON'T HEAR
ABOUT A LOT THAT DOES MATTER TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.
AND HE HAD THIS EARNEST NATURE TO HOW HE ASKED IT.
>> HE CUT OUT THE PART WHERE HE SAID I AM SORRY, WHAT ARE
YOUR NAMES AGAIN?
>> THAT IS THE THING HE HAS AN INNOCENCE WITHOUT BEING STUPID.
YOU NEVER GET A SENSE THAT HE IS NOT BRIGHT.
HE IS PROBABLY AN ACCOUNT AND HE'S PROBABLY AS GOOD AT THAT.
AT THE END THEY THEY ASKED HIM WHICH WAY HE IS LEANING.
HE SAID HE IS STILL UNDECIDED, BUT HE SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE
THE WAY THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS KIND OF MEAN TO HILLARY CLINTON.
HE SAID HE WAS LEANING IN HER DIRECTION NOW.
I THINK BOTTOM LINE IS YES, KEN BONE MIGHT DECIDE THE
ELECTION- OR HE LOOKS AT IT RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION
AS HE IS DOING NOW AND DOES THE RIGHT THING.
>> HE IS THE COUNTERPOINT TO WHAT PEOPLE DREAD ABOUT THE
SELECTION.
THE APPROACH TO IT IS THIS IS THE MOST KNOCK DOWN ALL OUT
BRAWL OF AN ELECTION.
>>PURE GOODNESS IN THE MIDDLE OF A DEEPLY EVIL CAMPAIGN.
THAT IS WHY IT IS SO REFRESHING.
HE WAS BONE IN THE USA.
OH GOD.
