oes what the mayor does reflect on other people in the city? Not really, right? Have you ever bonded, have you ever thought of yourself as being part of the brand of your mayor? No, not once. But when you think of president, that's an accessory to you. You American citizens — a lot of people from other countries watching this, but if you're American, your president is part of your brand, whether you like it or not. And that's just sort of a dumb old person move to not correct from the fact that what he did as a mayor just doesn't make sense as president. It just doesn't make sense. And it feels like an old guy who was just playing the hits. They always liked a band who used to be popular but he can't write a hit song anymore, so he's just gonna play the oldies. I just don't think that matches up against Trump.

I also think Trump has another advantage, which is that he's going to be more immune from fake news than ever before, because we've watched the fake news brand Trump as a certain thing and then be wrong time after time after time. You know, from the Russia collusion to you name it. You know what to talk about. I don't know if the attacks on Trump will have the same power they might have before we saw him in office for four years. I think he's just more immune from every kind of attack. I can't even imagine what kind of attack he hasn't already gone through, and it didn't take him out last time. So he's sort of more Teflon than he ever was, and he was pretty Teflon. I mean, grab 'em by the you-know-what and he still got elected. That's pretty tough. So he's more Teflon than ever.

But if it's somebody like Bernie, Bernie has a real problem running against Trump. Bernie has a real problem. You know what Bernie's big problem is? He's not a good enough liar. Now, I believe that Bernie says some things that stretch credulity. He certainly said things that the fact-checkers checked him on and said not so much. So there are probably no politicians who don't violate the fact-checking sometimes. But Bernie is kind of unique in that he's not the one to go negative as much, and he's not gonna lie as much. So he's the kind of person, if you said, hey Bernie, you know, I don't know if he's ever mentioned this, he probably has, but you know that thing in Charlottesville, you got that wrong. It turns out that's a misquote. The president never said that the neo-Nazis were fine people. He was talking about the other people there that he said were not the racists. If you tell Biden that, maybe he'll still use it anyway because it works, right? But if you tell Bernie that and he believes, oh geez, that's not even true, and it's easy to prove it's not true, you just look at the transcript. I don't know if Bernie would use it. Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't. But I think Bernie is handicapped by being a little too honest, and I don't know if that would work in a general election, you know what I mean?

All right, there's one suggestion I just heard this from an opinion person, that one of the reasons that Bernie lost some support, allegedly — this is unconfirmed — but recently with the African-American population is that Joe Rogan said he might vote for him. Now, does that feel right to you? Do you think their African-American support would plummet because Joe Rogan said he might vote for Bernie Sanders? I don't think so. I don't think people are paying attention at that level, because what the heck do the black community have — what problem do they have with Joe Rogan? So it turns out he's a comedian and provocative and he's been around for a long time, so you can dig through his past and you can find something to be offended by. But I don't think most of you are aware of it, and it's not real. It's just being provocative, and being offensive is a lot different from being racist. He's not racist or even close. At least there's certainly no evidence of it. There's lots of evidence against it. So Joe Rogan got a lot of heat from that, and he clarified his opinion, which I hadn't heard before. And it goes like this. So this is Joe Rogan clarifying his opinion about Sanders, and he said on his podcast, "All I said is I'm probably going to vote for him." But he added, "I like Tulsi Gabbard. I love her. I love Andrew Yang." So he was making the point that it's not about one candidate. There are several candidates that he likes.

And then the ego, and this is why Joe Rogan is a national treasure, because the next thing he says, not many people could say — I mean, you just — you can g
