=== AOC's Bernie Endorsement Drama (03:42) ===

[00:00:00]  Alright, so let's get into some of these takes, okay?
[00:00:03]  So... We were waiting... I was thinking about waiting to cover this endorsement until it actually happened, because, you know, AOC hasn't, like, formally endorsed Bernie yet.
[00:00:16]  She's going to do it at a rally this Saturday.
[00:00:21]  But the campaign is announcing it, it was already leaked to the press, and then the campaign confir- the Bernie Sanders campaign confirmed it.
[00:00:30]  But I was like, you know, should we wait to talk about this until like the floodgates are actually open?
[00:00:39]  But the floodgates pretty much opened.
[00:00:41]  And anyway, we have a comment here that sort of, I think like you said, Tony, just confirms our decision to talk about it today instead of after AOC formally announces.
[00:00:55]  Laura Manos Hay says, I love how they need to announce that.
[00:01:03]  Let her speak for herself.
[00:01:05]  We all know she's more than capable.
[00:01:08]  Get it?
[00:01:09]  And then Eric replies, Do you know how reporting works?
[00:01:15]  And then Laura replies, Um, not the New York Times.
[00:01:20]  Bernie's campaign.
[00:01:23]  Ooh.
[00:01:24]  Got him, kind of.
[00:01:27]  She's upset because the New York Times is mansplaining AOC's endorsement to her.
[00:01:36]  Mm-hmm.
[00:01:38]  AOC's like, uh, listen, I wrote the fucking endorsement, okay?
[00:01:45]  Don't need you to explain it to me.
[00:01:48]  Yeah.
[00:01:49]  The New York Times is like, this is called an endorsement.
[00:01:52]  What that means is.
[00:01:54]  They're talking to AOC.
[00:01:55]  This person is going to go ahead and like co-sign this other person.
[00:01:59]  I don't know if you, if you get that.
[00:02:01]  That means you have to say you like Bernie Sanders.
[00:02:04]  Yeah.
[00:02:05]  Um, I like this take because it's like, it's a good way to be mad about the thing without admitting the real reasons you're mad about it.
[00:02:15]  Yeah.
[00:02:16]  Like, you're not saying you dislike Bernie, you're not saying you dislike AOC, but you are still mad about this endorsement.
[00:02:26]  But it's just the way they did it.
[00:02:27]  That's the only reason I'm mad.
[00:02:29]  Until you, like, look closer at Laura's profile picture, which is her standing next to Elizabeth Warren.
[00:02:37]  It's actually a straight up Elizabeth Warren selfie.
[00:02:42]  Do you think this is a candidate one or did she wait in line recently for three hours?
[00:02:50]  Oh yeah, this is the Harriet Tubman selfie.
[00:02:54]  This is the one that's going to go down in history.
[00:03:00]  This is the Franklin Douglas selfie.
[00:03:02]  Yeah, this is how she's showing she's breaking stereotypes by taking a bunch of selfies.
[00:03:08]  Yeah, it's amazing.
[00:03:10]  That was the article, right?
[00:03:11]  That just like Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Warren is showing that a woman can be president by taking selfies.
[00:03:20]  Will also be photographed.
[00:03:22]  Literally comparing a time where this man's blackness was considered some sort of demonic trace along with the bewitchingness of photography.

=== World Camera Lens (00:20) ===

[00:03:33]  But his sheer intelligence and tenacity allowed him to be photographed more than anyone else in history.
[00:03:43]  But she's like a white woman in the world of camera phones.
