-You've been honest about a couple things.
One, you have endorsed Bernie Sanders.
-Yes. -And, two, you have encouraged
all Democrats to do the same,
which is, whoever the nominee is, you will support.
-Absolutely. Yes, yes. -And --
[ Cheers and applause ]
-In fact, I just --
I thought, all of us -- We are coming.
Trump. Where is Trump? Which one is he?
-He usually watches on that camera, yeah.
-Okay. We, on November 3rd, are coming.
And we are large.
Our army -- [ Cheers and applause ]
It doesn't matter.
I mean, seriously, he -- They had a poll last month.
A literal, actual poll. "Who would you vote for --
Trump or the Roomba?"
The robot vacuum. -Yeah, sure.
-And the Roomba won. -The Roomba won?
-The Roomba won. -Wow.
-So he's in deep trouble.
-I want to talk to you about
where you're at as far as optimism versus pessimism.
But, first, I wanted to get your take
on when we talk about endorsements --
"The New York Times" endorsed Elizabeth Warren
and Amy Klobuchar yesterday. -I watched that.
-Yeah, what are you -- Right. It was on their televised show.
They have a TV show, "The New York Times."
-They have a TV show on FX... -Yeah.
-...called "The weekly." -"The Weekly," yes.
-And I don't know why I'm giving it a plug,
because now I'm just going to say something awful.
-Oh, you're gonna now -- You're gonna unplug it.
-Well, I just -- I turned it on last night.
-Uh-huh.
-And it's -- I thought "The Apprentice" was back.
Because they literally brought each of
the Democratic candidates into a big board room.
-Mm-hmm.
-Where they have them sit at the table and do, like,
a dog-and-pony show for the editorial board
of "The New York Times."
I don't know why I did "editorial board."
Because I, frankly, wish I had never seen -- Don't you --
when you think of the editorial board of "The New York Times,"
you think it's like whole bunches of brainiac people.
-Sure. Yes. It's a very esteemed newspaper.
-You want them to be smarter than you.
And then they go on FX.
And you see what the process is like,
and you see them, and they're like,
"Oh, they're just like, well, like The Band."
-Hey. Don't you -- -No.
[ Audience groans ]
-No, but -- No, no. No!
We would live in a better country if The Band could pick
and the endorsement of the next President of the United States.
But it just kind of blew my mind that --
-They seem very human. -They seem very human.
-Okay. Well, that's fine. I mean, they are human beings.
-No, but we need all the help we can get right now.
-Yeah. -And we don't need them --
They started asking questions of the candidates like,
"When was the --
Who's the person that broke your heart the most?"
-Oh, yeah, yeah.
-"Who's the person that broke your heart the..."
We're in deep [bleep] right now! -Yeah, that's --
-Why are you asking these questions?!
You know? Aren't you afraid of Mitch McConnell?
You know, it's like you're not going to get any laws passed.
It was just -- I don't know. It's just --
-You didn't care for it. -I didn't care for it.
-You do -- You do have -- You do have --
Even though you would say we're in deep [bleep],
you do have some optimism right now.
-I have optimism. I'll tell you.
I said after the 2016 -- They endorsed Klobuchar and Warren.
But I said after the '16 election, because nobody --
I kept saying Hillary got the most votes.
We need to keep this in mind. Do not despair.
The majority of country thinks like we do by 3 million votes.
And what we should do actually in 2020, we shouldn't --
We shouldn't run one woman. We should run two women.
The ticket -- the vice president and president on the ticket
will be two women.
Let's just double down on this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's just double down and -- You know?
And all the pundits will go, "Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, you can't do that. They'll never get elected now."
And like, "Oh, yeah?"
I'll tell you right now. Every woman's gonna vote."
And every young person's gonna vote.
And anybody -- anybody who's part of any group
that has had the boot on their neck for most of their lives
because they belong to a particular ethnic group,
a particular gender, a particular age group --
Everybody who knows that feeling will come out and be for that.
And it's so amazing to me that the youngest in all the polls,
the youngest voters, 18 to 35, by a vast margin,
are for the oldest candidate that's running.
-Yeah. -That's so amazing
that our young people -- Because they know
it's their future that we're really voting on this year.
This is -- If we don't fix climate change, like, now,
we don't have four years. -Right.
-We're done. We're done. We're done.
And so what they love -- what they love about --
What they love about Bernie
is that he's fighting for their future.
He will not relent. They know he can't be bought.
He will not give in.
And it's not his future he's fighting for.
He won't be around to see what's going to happen to this planet.
This is totally selfless on his part
that he is going to give his last years of his life.
He's in the last quarter of his life. Can we say that?
It's not -- - -I think -- Well, what is he?
76? -No, no. He's 78.
-78. Yeah, yeah. He's in the last quarter of his life.
-He's in the last quarter of his life. I'm just saying.
-That's a perfectly fine thing to say.
-And I hope he's not watching right now
and then, you know, he's like...
-Oh, no, I -- And, by the way,
like, you know, you're saying you really want him
to have the greatest quarter of his life, maybe.
-It's going to be the best quarter.
-Yeah. -It's going to be -- Whatever.
What did Kansas City -- They're gonna come back.
It's going to be amazing. -Yeah.
-And I'm telling you that Bernie is going to get in there.
He's the one candidate Trump doesn't want to run against.
He's the Trump stopper. -Well, that's interesting
'cause Donald Trump keeps speaking very highly of Bernie.
-Yes. -And in order to think he wants
to run against Bernie, that would require you to think
that he's playing sort of a --
People always say about Trump "3D chess,"
which I don't think is the case.
-Yeah, that -- Ohh. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-That requires way too much. -So you --
I mean, on a very surface level, you can assume
that his praise for Bernie is a way for him --
-He doesn't want to run ag-- He's afraid of him.
-Gotcha.
-Remember, the bully, which Trump was and always has been.
The bully is always afraid
of that which will bring the bully down.
In other words, the kid on the school yard
who's going to stand up to the bully.
That's the bully's last day of bullying anybody.
And that is Bernie Sanders.
He will not relent. He will not back down.
And -- And he will take care of Trump
in such a beautiful Brooklyn-like way.
I want to -- I want to --
-Brooklyn v. Queens. Really.
-It's Brooklyn versus Queens,
and with all due respect to the fine borough of Queens,
advantage Brooklyn.
