Favorite son of a. She. Should. Be getting. A welcome this is the bench of Heroes show a lot to get to today look at later on in the hour we'll get to a ridiculous New York Times article that suggests that we can make science better if only we have more gay scientists really is what The New York Times is saying we'll also get to President Trump in a rally last night it's an interesting things to say there but we begin today with bad news for Elizabeth Warren who is collapsing in on herself like a dying star ever since she started actually releasing details of her plans and people realize that these plans were incredibly stupid Her poll numbers have just been in freefall and you've seen this in Iowa you've seen this in New Hampshire as well she has now dropped behind several candidates in New Hampshire according to the Real Clear Politics polling average So according to Real Clear Politics right now she is trailing in Iowa to people to judge she's also trailing in New Hampshire not only who to judge but also Bernie Sanders according the most recent poll there's a New Hampshire poll today that has Sanders a 26 blue judge at $22.00 and warnin Biden tied at 14 which is a disaster area for Elizabeth Warren she's running in 3rd in New Hampshire according to the r.c.p. Poll average behind both to judge and Sanders in Iowa she is also running 3rd behind both the judge and Sanders a disaster disaster area for Elizabeth Warren without a doubt and the latest polls show that she has also dropped nationally down to 3rd she's down to 3rd nationally the people to judge rising into double digits in the the r.c.p. Polling average Biden remains at 28 percent in the r.c.c. Polling average Sanders at 18 percent Warren at 17 percent blue judge at 11 percent and in the latest polling numbers from Quinnipiac she is utterly falling apart according to Yahoo News to judge the moderate millennial mayor of South Bend Indiana moderate leapfrogged the race is made a liberal candidate sworn and fellow senator Bernie Sanders to claim 2nd. Behind the resilient national leader Joe Biden according to Quinnipiac University is latest poll Biden still ahead with 24 percent among Democratic voters and independents who lean Democrat a rise of 3 percentage points a reclaiming of the poll position since Quinnipiac last poll on October 24th when he trailed Warren to judge him from 10 percent to 16 percent in that time frame Warren's support dropped from 28 percent to 14 percent which is just an utterly enormous implosion Sanders is down from 16 percent to 13 percent so full on disaster area for Elizabeth Warren she has got to be in a state of utter panic Meanwhile she tries to whistle past the graveyard she's been suggesting the children as a woman as v.p. Well lady you're not going to the nominee so I'm not sure this is going to matter here's Elizabeth Warren doing I'm the I am woman hear me lecture you. 1st it would be entirely presumptuous of me to talk about running mates I'm here talking about why I'm running for president and asking for all of you to get out and caucus for me that's not going to do that so I'm going to ask you to get the caucus for me but I've got to say why would you want to have a woman for a running mate why would you have a woman for a running mate because you're not going to be the presidential nominee that's why you're not going to have a roman a woman for a running mate by the way someone I get this frequently on my sort of public e-mail address very very kind folks on the left will sign me up to the mailing lists of places like Planned Parenthood and as it turns out the Elizabeth Warren campaign and I received this e-mail from Senator Warren today quote thanks for being a part of the conversation about how we can make big structural change in our country for Elizabeth the fight to level the playing field for working families whose personal when she was growing up in Oklahoma her family barely hung on by their fingernails her dad had a heart attack when she was 12 and her mom saved their home by getting a minimum wage job answering the phones at Sears Elizabeth graduated from public commuter college that cost 50 bucks a semester and it opened a 1000000 doors for her she went on to become a public school teacher of law professor u.s. Senator and now a presidential candidate because she grew up at a time when America invested in kids like her Ok so this is why her pitch falls flat This is a lady who really has had a pretty wonderful American life moaning about how terrible America is and let me just note the timeline here she is now 70 years old so her dad had a heart attack when she was 12 that means that her dad had a heart attack in 1961 and her suggestion is that the federal government spends less in terms of resources now than they didn't 961 which is patently absurd that's even before the Great Society programs none of that makes any sense whatsoever when she suggests that her mom saved their home by getting a minimum wage job answering the phones at Sears was the minimum wage higher or lower back in 1981. When she suggests that she graduated from a public commuter college that cost $50.00 a semester yes because that is not inflation in just adjusted from 1967 also there are public commuter colleges they still exist so the entire pitch that she's making that somehow America has grown cruel or that somehow America has has grown less less spendthrift less willing to spend on the American public is just untrue the government is spending 4 trillion dollars a year we're running one trillion dollar a year deficit. We're spending more than Gover have it is not close and yet Elizabeth Warren is trying to maintain that she had a better in $1061.00 and at the same time suggesting that the governing system in 1061 was somehow much better than it is now which again I'm going to have to call b.s. On that one because the Absolute nonsense so Warren is completely falling apart and the more people see of her the less they like her well now the question becomes will the same thing happen to people who judge the press are out to get to judge now they do not want to judge to be the nominee they were they were in love with Elizabeth Warren she made them feel good about themselves to judge makes them feel Ok about themselves but not as great as they could because the fact is that good judge has only gained momentum again by pushing back to the center again he launched his campaign as a sort of centrist alternative to Bernie Sanders and then he skewed way to the left and started calling all Christians bad Christians if they supported traditional marriage and now he's skewed back to the center and he has fought against Elizabeth Warren on that basis and gain polling credibility by the way you wonder why Cory Booker is staying in the race why any quote which are staying in the race the answer is because everybody in the Democratic field at this point has to understand that this is now a revolving wheel it's a Wheel of Fortune and whatever that wheel stops you may be the next leader in the polls they've already gone through Biden and gone through a war and they've gone through Sanders they have now gone they're going to go through to judge and then people are going to start taking a 2nd look at some of these candidates that's why Kamel Harris is desperately attempting to stay in the race it's why Cory Booker is staying in the race is like all the charges staying in the race which are most of all maybe because she figures that as a moderate maybe she will pick up people judges pieces of who judge she get stomped on by the media which by the way is incredibly likely I'll give you the update on that in just one second 1st let's talk about the fact that you're not getting the sleep you need one of the reasons is probably her kids are screaming at you but the other reason is because you don't have a mattress that's very good you just went down to the local big box Natura store and you land a mattress for like 2 minutes and then I'll just take this one because who cares here's the problem you're spending like one 3rd of your life on that mattress and it really should be good and made. For you there is nobody on the planet like you so why would you buy a generic mattress built for everyone else he would sleep his bill to sleep because it takes 2 minutes to complete the use the answers to match your body type and sleep preferences for the perfect mattress whether you're a side sleeper or a hot sleeper Well you like a pleasure from bed with us there's no more guessing no more compromising on an average mattress what he would sleep dot com slash hero take their 2 minutes leave quiz and they will match you to a mattress that will give you the best sleep of your life he likes sleep was even awarded the number one best overall match respect of 2900 by g.q. And Wired magazine and got a 10 year warranty you have to try your mattress out for 100 Nights risk free shipping is completely free though even pick it up for you if you don't love it but you obviously will right now Hewitt is offering up to $125.00 off all naturist orders after $125.00 off that he would sleep dot com slash hero as he would sleep dot com slash hero Ok so the media attacks on people to judge have just begun because the media loved loved loved Elizabeth Warren and they are a little bit more split on people to judge who they don't really understand the attack on people the judge has largely come based on the notion that he has no appeal to black voters this of course is true if you look at his polling numbers among black voters they absolutely stink they're awful they're worse than Bernie Sanders because he's not as famous as Bernie Sanders they're worse than Elizabeth Warren who basically had no black support Campbell Bell who hosted one of the worst shows on c.n.n. For several years there is a travel show and it was just awful if you've ever been stuck in an airport watching w. Camel Bell talk to spring breakers down in Florida and what I'm talking about anyway w. Kemo Bell tweeted out or about to find out how someone can get less than 0 percent of the black vote why well because people who judge back in 2011 suggested that kids from lower income minority neighborhoods don't have someone they know personally who testifies to the value of education which happens to be true Ok disproportionately that is sort of assuming everybody in low income minority communities doesn't testify to value of education it means that if you have a single parent household there are other priorities very often in that household it does mean Barack Obama has said this that in many cases there is a stigma on higher education there's a stay. On quote unquote acting white. Roland Fryer over and over Harvard University has said exactly the same thing we talked about a lot of the statistics on education yesterday in terms of the education differential and we also talked about the fact that if you adjust for income then what you see is that black women actually go to college at a higher rates than white men do so what happened to the racism what happens with racism it turns out that this really is not about race it is about where you grow up it is about the culture where you grow up it's about whether there are a number of fathers in the area not just a father in the home but a number of fathers in the area where all of that matters what he would judge that all that and then he just got shellacked by this guy named Michael Harriet's over at the root and it went viral yesterday Well now people judge called that Michael Harriet and Michael Harriet writes this really ridiculous piece about how he lectured people to judge which makes him a hero because having a conversation is one thing but lecturing somebody is totally great I mean to lecturing somebody when they call you up is just it shows how strong you are and it shows how wonderful you are and you've really added to the debate by lecturing a presidential candidate who by the way said something eminently reasonable that we're all going to rip him up and down for right now the praise that is being received by Michael Harriet for his writing style again only it is it is just another sort of time he codes James Baldwin knockoff where you insert random anecdotes that are supposed to make people feel it's very purple very over the top but because people feel and because they are passionate This means that the writing is good because writing is only good when it's very passionate not when it is reason not when there's an actual argument just when it's very passionate and when apparently you yell at a presidential candidate so Michael Harriet has a follow up apparently people to judge so his piece yesterday in which he called people judge a lying m.f. Or and people judge called him up which by the way good for people to judge I've done the same thing in their number of people have attacked me over the years and Prince I've reached out to them some of them are jerks I won't name names some of them have been quite nice and we've become friendly it's people to judge did the right thing he called this guy up and this guy proceeded to lecture people to judge and then suggest the people to judge. Is better in his eyes because he's a white man who listened to him in the piece is really absurd Michael Carey says the 1st thing you should know about me is that I absolutely hate talking on the phone Well I think the 1st thing was you know about us that you call people lying efforts based on political disagreements that seems like a pretty good thing you know. But he says my friends family coworkers all know this about me I'm not the talk it's not the talking that bothers me it's the anticipation angst from waiting for a phone call therapy and self reflection have informed me that my subconscious anxiety is fueled by the fact that I've received news of personal and family tragedies via telephone so over the top and people praising the school sort of writing it's just why would you praise the sort of self-indulgent bullcrap this is also talking bothers me the 2nd thing you should know about me is that I will fight I don't enjoy fighting I don't even fight very well says Michael Barrett in fact if I combine my amateur fist fighting record my jujitsu sparring all of my slap boxing exhibitions and the times of violent Jackson tap me for talking smack while running a Boston honor in spades by winning percentage is well below 500 but I believe fisticuffs are a legitimate way to settle disputes while arguments are usually pointless exercise is to get one party to proclaim why the other party is wrong I'd rather you beat me up so when I received a text message from South Bend Indiana. Just the presidential campaign about an article I wrote I genuinely hoped he was going to send 4 or 5 his dogs over to rough me up and that would be and if you don't believe there are people who judge supporters out there willing to throw hands you probably aren't on Twitter I figured one of his surrogates would argue with me for a few minutes and I would continue my day trying to be a thorn in the side of white supremacy Wow I mean this guy you know ever puncture his ego ever since the 3rd thing you should know about me is that I actually keep a small photo of the mail from pink in the brain beside my bed that says what are you going to do today Michael the answer is always the same f. With white people what a joy this guy seems I mean really he seems like an absolute joy so people judge calls him up and the 1st thing he says is I don't think I've ever been called a lying m.f. Or before and this guy says well I thought maybe he does want to fight and then he starts telling stories about one time when he had a cousin who said a thing really that's completely irrelevant but since he inserted in the middle of the piece it's supposed to have some sort of the remaining And then he gets back to the conversation he says people who judge didn't want to tell me his side of the story he didn't excuse himself by explaining that the comments referenced by the article were made years ago he didn't even try to explain his plan for black America I think the context was important especially the fact that it was before. I took office we just said but mostly he wanted to listen for 18 minutes and 45 seconds we talked about educational inequity inequality poverty and institutional racism in America and how to fix it Ok I'm lying I don't know how to fix bleep as I explained to the presidential candidate for some reason I had a reflexive refrain from reflexively calling him Mr President my problem with his comments was not only that they were wro
