You listening to Carmody Central. Why can't we said we would lose headquarters in New York on a leash. No worried wanting worse. Special democratic presidential debate and adjust moments ago and we'll
coming to you. One hundred percent live and I'll prove it. I made this work, I'm when the debate started and look now. It's totally now between the debates and the impeachment of the president. It has been a wild couple of days in american politics and we want to cover both tonight. But let's start with the final debate of twenty ninety, which was hosted by PBS and political and taped in front of a moving background that look like a 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 Houlihan Castro, no common Harris, no Corey Booker. Basically democratic debates are like horror movies. They started with a very diverse costume characters and all the black people acquire nuclear quickly filled up, and that was actually one of the topics of tonight's debate. Why
the democratic field, more diverse and more representative of its base. Former President Obama said this week when asked who should be run in 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 usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way. Senator cylinders, you are the oldest, can stage as well. Did bridges, yell Ward, You can't say that Bernie, that's Troms campaigns, Logan what're, you doing back cables. We're getting off the bobbing old and then also you like I'm work as well, it almost makes it worse is like your wife is sitting on you for cheating and you cut in like animals.
But your sister also love how Obama just men off the cuff comments at an event, and now it's become a real thing up the debate. He said he thinks that women would make better leaders and should be present, and now all the candidates have to deal with this shit that he just thrown in ivory. Like Obama, he's gonna stop messing with the campaigns like tomorrow, you'll be like If you ask me, the best friends will be someone without a nose now to be fair. The stage wasn't completely whites tonight, thanks to Andrey Yang being there. So basically was a bunch of white people and then one asian that, like an ETA reboot, the Goonies and Andrea, had a really insightful take on why they weren't more people of color. Up on that stage, the average net worth of a black
I sold only ten percent of a white household Filipinos, it's twelve percent, and the question is why my the loan candidate of color on this stage, fewer than five percent of Americans, donate a political campaigns. You don't you need to do. We need to political campaigns, dispose We'll income and worrying makes a really really great point. Think about it to make it onto the debate stage tonight's debate stage. Candidates were required to have two hundred thousand donors, but if a candidate has supporters who can afford to make donations have been on a disposable income than that, Canada can never make it to the stage because money talks in America. So you know the money you can talk. I think about thing about the whole issue: around political donation
America's backwards. Candidate state of voters give me money and I'll make your life better and voters. Let your men. If I had money, I wouldn t you make my life better. I want to be one of the big advantages present Trump has right now is that the economy is doing extremely well so for tonight's candidates. The challenge was explaining to voters Y all that glitters 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're gonna talk about poverty in this country. America's middle class is being hollowed out, and the working families in four people are being left behind. Tromp goes around saying the economy is doing great. You know what real inflation accounted for wages one up last year, one point: one percent a great damp, any really
one percent. It doesn't matter what the one presented he just hates. One percent wage increases top earners milk- it doesnt matter just like get out of there would be no fuck. I want milk spread of accounts. Treats Bobby Bony 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 foolish southbound mayor, an old young sheldon, you can tell you, can tell the Buddha judges the man to beat right now, because everyone was gunning for him it. When we were in the last debate mayor, you basically mocked the hundred years of experience on this stage. I think this experience works and I have not denigrated you're expiring. The local officials actually did denigrate might experience senator and I was gonna. Let it go because we got bigger fish to fry here, but
we have a bigger fish them right than picking a president of the United States. We should have someone heading up this ticket. That is actually what do you want to talk about? The capacity to win, try putting together a coalition to bring you back to office with eighty percent of the vote as a guy dude. In my pencil, India, that was a might drop, they dude in Indiana. I feel like wherever my pencil right now he's spider sense. Lit up. There's a gay man in Indiana. I must go mother. Can we, my largest bible, now clover shop going off the buddhas? Yes, we're just that! I'm the conflict, because the main events was between Buddha Judge and Elizabeth Worn, and this came on the topic of
Campaign donations. I said to anyone who wants to donate to me. If you want to do to me, that's fine, but don't come around later, expecting to be named ambassador, the mare and just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served nine hundred dollar a bottle of wine. Think about who comes to their billion errors in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States, and some of you know what Elizabeth worn has. A great point Buddha judge shouldn't be holding fund, raises wine caves he's not even old enough to drink and also what the hell
Is a wine cave? I don't want a president picked that way. I want to present picked by someone and it's a killer cave. That sounds like a lot more fun. A wine came sounds like we're. Batman goes to relax, goes along DE offered open up a bottle of rosy, so Elizabeth worn it produces really hard on accepting campaign donations from the ultra wealthy, but clearly outta jail doesn't subscribing the whole. Don't talk back to your elders 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 fund razors. You now denounced, 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 you're, not worth is one hundred times might now. Supposing that you went home, the holiday spirit and decided to go on a plea for America, DOT, com and give the maximum allowable by law. Two thousand eight hundred dollars with that pollute my campaign because it came from a wealthy person who peep Buddhism has just called Elizabeth, worn, a wealthy person. You As for progressive white people, less like being called the inward like, how dare you call wealthy, I'm living comfortably, okay and you can see,
reward! Wasn't lugging that preceded the thing that white women do in someone fights of them? They just straightforward. Like I'm hearing anything also also, it was pretty slick that peat basically suggested that orange, donate to his right. You just go to the volume of our common cause like if he got every democratic candidate, to give him a hundred bucks. That's like four billion dollars, that's a genie escaped so basically closer attack, PETE Warrant attack, peach and then even Bernie decided to jump in on that whiter than white crime. Now, there's a real competition draw up you like good, for Georgia is a good friend these receive contributions from forty four billion, as paid, on the other hand, is trailing bait. We got thirty. Nine billion has contributed so big, Follow. Do you. I know Europe and energy Guy Competitive Garda see Take our joy on that issue
it's not There were burning the dealer visible buttons is my boy. What happens when we rule that I get the money. It is, but whenever Bernie and PETE Fight, I feel like I'm watching back to the future, You know like we're. Gonna get you don't get big money. Could I get one can think we're gonna get a bit like shut up. I got back to the Bulgaria. The flux capacity is at one percent, and you know how I feel about one percent, so those are the big moments. Those are the big moments of tonight's debate. Although there was one of the moment there 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 two thousand men and only fifty women in the whole history, and he said if a nightclub had where's that bad they would shut it down. Ok, noble Morland, I am not among other law. That was a brilliant point by that revenue arising made a lot of sense and technically technically, if my line gets a response at the presidential debate,
doesn't mean that now, I'm also in the race to gag jogging run guys. I was born in Kenya. That was the final debate of the year and honestly, it was really exciting. They would policies that discussions. There was enough of abandoned to make something to watch and it had to be exciting because this has been an exciting weak think about it. Just yesterday the forty foot, President of the United States got impeached, will you guys might be chairing? But when Democrats in the house tried to cheer last night Nancy Pelosi Shut, down real fast has begun its policy, maintaining control of her clock ass with a glance and a gesture alone. At one point yesterday on this, though the AIDS or two
hundred and thirty, the name one. Ninety seven present is one article one is adopted, Nancy didn't wanna hear any gloating. Last night she killed that celebration good. Do you see that that kind of look would send a champagne call? back into the bottom. That's how it I was like But while the Democrats were impeaching the impeach, he himself was holding a rally in Michigan and he wants everyone to know that he's totally ok with big impeached. It doesn't really feel like we're being impeached. Still, that's why you know with Richard Nixon. I just see it as a very dark era burnt dark areola, but you don't even like to think I don't know.
But I'm having a good time is Grace Poole Trump man. He just became the third president in history to get impeach, and you see what's happening you trying to convince everyone that it doesn't bother him in all. Just like this meeting Look like we got impeach again, nor must we you gotta, envisaged this reminds me of this reminds me of like when you were a kid and then you wiped out on your bike in front of all your friends, but then you got up and you have to play. And if you like, hey man, are you ok, you like? That was enough enough. I did it on purpose because I thought it would be for me and your friends like dude. I can see no white stuff under you're scared, eulogy, I'm going home, so trump trouble rarely once people to think that impeachment is no big deal to him, but he also wants you to think it was a travesty. On the first person I get a pizza there's no prime, like us you'll guilty, you know they call it a beach like it's a breach would like you know what they have done
They ve cheapened the impeachment process. Now anybody that becomes president, I mean they get up. Phone call and they get impeached. Ok, first of all, impeachment like there's no impeachment light. Ok, Impeachment is like Herpes, you either have it you, don't oil baby disease show my dad Herpes right here and also I like how he says everyone who becomes present from now on can get impeached for having a phone call. Obviously, what trumps said on the phone call with Ukraine is what matters, but the fact that you just made a call like trumps either being disingenuous or he took completely the lesson from this whole thing, because this would be like OJ going or Ipad alone. My lesson I won't wear gloves anymore although parliament probably thinks that Trump is just setting up an excuse for not calling Eric on his birthday. That's all just doing I'm sorry Eric, I guess
call you, I can't risk another engagement. Did you said it was improved when light still do risky boy, so Lockman bomb tromp can trying to 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 the daily, shall we thought with this being our final show of twenty nineteen? We would do the president's a solid and focus on one of his major achievements of this year. Inventing and incredible array of new words. I know words at the best words he was awarded. The broad star and combat Infra drew been, and liver transplant, and to legitimate swayed a pivotal really, and I mean this was pivotal heroin, alone. If you look at the heroin epidemic can fully.
Authorize the nine elected eleven. Victimas President Franklin Delano, Roosevelt we must seek real by parties, solutions bad? It meant something nor fifty states to immediately wave all applicant state. Axis, Americans of all walks of life rose, rose up and we used a rate of three years. Think radio Sakharov Start Market relevance by Venezuela is so Venezuelans. I hope they now go and take a look at the origin of the investigation. The beginning is really put a big, invest, a country. We appreciate it very much time. Apple years ago, a brilliant stars shone in the east, wise men, travel far far afield.
There was no buys no government s words, I have them, but there's no better words and still I'll wait to see what he comes up. My mother is an award winning journalist with Al Jazeera, English and the intercept he's also host of the deconstructed podcast. Please welcome many
son, let's just street injure with the debate, just ended. What do you make of it as someone who just watching it? Apart from like us who was watching him, I think we learn to think from Mister Bell number one Amy Clover shot really really loathes PETE Buddha. This fact Very clearly. I think she was waiting for this moment. You came prepped without a statue. Let you lost by twenty point. Lifelike right, you came for bad subtly, unfair to beat Buddha genteel by twenty five points in India, all waters or say white of his right, and secondly, I think we learned is that the democratically to running Muslim for president, can I tell you
Trevor won't find me anywhere near a wine cave or even older one caveat. So where does this elusive disorder? The wine cave issue? That was an interesting issue that people were like arguing about now it was like. Do you take money from from rich people? Do take money from big corporations, do taking money from wealthy donors and their claws, and that was an interesting. You no argument within the parties with Buddha. Just saying we need everything we can to be Donald Trump. He has a lot of money. He's raised a lot of money from big donors. We ve seen this, and so, if you don't have enough money, you can compete Elizabeth One going know that money becomes part of the problem. So where do you think that argument ended on the night? I think the algorithm, I'm I'm very much. Timor Saunders on this- is 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. Particular you talked about earlier in the show money talks in this country and the problem with due to judge that good.
Come back to us with Warner. I couldn't go on a state with your richer than me, their way older than you as well. I think the problem is with the argument. Is he won't say what weren't says and scientists as which you give as much money? If you want we're, not gonna give you a job, he won't do that right has ruled out appointing you know his rich donors to ambassadorship thrice anyway. That now look at this guy, Gordon someone who testified and impeachment ambassador to the EU. So the diplomat he's a hotel. Doo Doo gave a million dollars to Donald Crumbs Inauguration right. That is not how you should get jobs in government and if a Democrat
I'm sorry that I think that's a problem for the Democratic Party and for people to judge it was an interesting debate tonight, because for the first time it felt like we actually heard what people had to say. Yoni at seven people upon the stage is opposed to the usual fifty right, and so you heard from all the people who were up to what was interesting is somebody like Andrea, who barely gets time to speak normally came out today came up swinging, he added stats. He really made a few great points the people Edinburgh before, but it still feels like he's an outline in the race. Even though he's amongst I do think this was his night or not. I mean this is not in as much as have eyes the campaign gonna go in terms of kind of, as you say, attention speaking right at a couple, a good gag
but once I still has, as you know, it was it Joe Joe Biden, one set about regional and his entire vocabulary that amount of urban nine eleven with Yang it's down of urban I'll, give you a thousand dollars a month. That's always comes about to even the race company, which is fine as far as it goes. Clove wish. I had a good, not she's. Ironing she's gonna be the candidate, but she had a good night. She came, she was strong, she was prepared, she went after she, I think tonight we saw the first crack in the Peat Buddha Judge, elect ability who, until Now- and this is the guy he's electable and she pointed out- you know the emperor has no code. This guy is a mayor from South Bend. Indiana Germany votes one and twenty two seem to be re elected in one area, that eight thousand eight thousand bright is more people than that of asian wedding right in the headline half that many people in my wedding right, that's qualification. Eighty million votes are basically ok, but now he has an argument. Many other people might make they might go. If you look at the Democrats, history in the races democratic vote is generally like to both for somebody who doesn't have a long history,
in politics urinating. I would have said that article bomber came out of nowhere that many people said that Bill Clinton came out of nowhere. Many peoples and Kennedy came out of nowhere, and so, if you look at the history of the Kennedy was a senator Obama was associated. Clinton was a governor, they weren't mayor of the fourth biggest town in India and rights, and I think that is a problem and I do think Amy closures right. She was just saying on CNN. After the debate, there is a double standard here. Would we consider a thirty seven year old person of color or thirty seven year old woman? They would be lost off the stage in a way that a thirty seven year old, confident Harvard grab 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 basis, a whole which is everyone's trying to play Pandit once a who's, the most electable person right, which is that we can measure this stuff or municipal last week. We should prevent every major candid, including club, which I can beat Trump nationally. So I say to people at home what you just vote for the person you think is best stop trying to be upon the imo Pandit. We don't want to help we're talking about. Don't call predicted trump. Very few of us right, stop playing that game
the person. You think would be the best leader who can heal this country after four years of kind of neo, fascism and white nationalism and stop saying: oh, it's not obsessing over Joe six pack and who he's going to vote for the guy in the diner, unroll Pomeranian, a great he's, probably a vote for Trump again: sorry to break it to work on mobilizing your base, workin mobilizing people of color. Work on mobilizing women work in mobilizing young people and the people who do that from where I'm sitting a Bernie Sanders Elizabeth work do you think would make the best present softly? That's a bull, both statement, many us out, everybody
