Fun fact: Bernie was arrested back in the 60‘s for protesting against segregation. He was also involved in the civil rights movement. You probably haven’t heard that on any corporate news channel.
Good to know.
Yes, I've seen his supporters say this everywhere, all the time. And if you want some advice, the more you wave around the "he marched with black people in the 60s", it makes it look like you're just using it as black cred and don't actually care about the actual act.
He shouldn't be applauded for doing the right thing, he should be applauded for continuing his effort well into the 70s, 80s, 90s, and so on.
@@alexandre3989 What an ignorant comment! I care about "that shit" Just like I care about all the people and their efforts and sacrifices that helped pave our way and freedoms... And you should too! But I also care about and want to know what he has continued to do for our communities.
Yes we did. COLBERT mentioned it.
Of course. Some of us know this but thanks for telling the masses!!!!!
Bill Clinton real smooth with that pandering😂😂😂
He got MY vote with it...😎😎😎
Gloria Iji Clinton was the best panderer in Part he Really did believe in the moment. Clinton showed his luv of people & crowds. Total extrovert
Roy and Trevor should start their own sitcom...crazy vibes
Reminds me of Token in South Park: "Al Sharpton. Is not. The Mayor of Black People!" 🤣
He told me he was
*Emperor
@@abchernin Oh snap, thanks!
Amen!!! And the Vast majority of us feel that way. It was white people who decided Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were our Black Spokespeople; Not US.
"Ugh. Tojenjustgoget your bass guitar. Is probably in the basement." "No Eric that's bulls... damn't... 'twang twang twang twang twaaang'."
'Anybody can go to a black church and clap awkwardly ' o Trevor the shade, the shade , THE SSSSHHHHAAAADDDDEEEE!
That shade of it all....
It really was such a delightfully shady comment though.
"we don't know how you pick your dictators there in Africa" 😂😂🤣🤣 LET US BREATHE! 🇿🇦
Roy missed a golden opportunity to dude a Desiigner joke "Pander Pander Pander I got candidates in Atlanta".
lol bernie is so cute getting interviewed hahaha!
Hillary's video vs Romney's video. Tough to say which one was more painful to watch.
It’s neck and neck.
Romney's
Cringe meter reading: 99.99 vs 99.98
Romney vote here
Clinton's was more painful she was losing the accent word by word.
I don't think these candidates are really...for the culture.
I see what you did there!!!!
:o)
blupunk01 They’re not. All full of sh*t and hot air. All of it disgusted me and watching the Black folks suck it all in and being gullible made it worse. 🤦🏽♀️
but Roy wood Jr is... for the culture
blupunk01 of course they’re not “for the culture”. They only stick their heads out for the vote” and then disappear w/o a trace once we’ve been used.
Is this a fucking Homestuck reference.
*I dont know how y'all select your dictators back in Africa officially triggered*
We don't choose them. They just take the power
😥
I was like *Choose* !!!such an American thing to say😂😂😂
@@walkz007 It's American humor. Our humor is always borderline politically incorrect or offensive, except if you are watching Family Guy where is just *IS* offensive. And these are words coming from a child born in America to Nigerian immigrants. You do have to have a certain level of thick skin to watch our comedy.
@@nexusvexusus4096 um.......... I am aware of American humour in fact very aware 😞😞😞wtf ,I was making a joke as well like the meme on similar to the first world problems meme,I guess according to you then my joke was African humor or something since it flew right over your head.I was simply making a joke on democratic privilege I wasn't triggered but you seem to have been its great and all about your parents and that you live in the US now but I guess you seem to only understand American humour now but erm you know you don't have to be American to get a joke said by an American or in America right or that would be a problem how would we ever communicate.nway ✌✌
Bill Clinton was in a league of his own 😭😭
Got votes for blowing a horn,got impeached for getting his horn blown.
Was also responsible for the incarceration of more Asiatic Men and Women then ANY OTHER President.
@@christelheadington1136 😂
he was a racist mother fucker, but we had 2 choices a racist Dem who might help us a little and a racist republican who will never do anything for us, Clinton was one of Drumpt'sclosest friend and history have finally shown use we right not to vote republican, look how they are all kissing Drumpt's racist ass
Bill Clinton was a corrupt, racist ass-clown. Locked up tens of millions of black people for nonviolent crimes.
So good to see roy wood jr.❤
Yes💖him!!!
I feel bad for the next president that has to clean up Trump's mess
Lol because Obama was a patch of roses...
@@workman88 that he was and still is.
@@workman88 Obama economy smashed record of bull years. So yes. He was.
Unfortunately this is how it always works out. Republicans destroy the economy. Democrat gets elected President and has to clean up the mess... Reps win mid-term because cleanup isn't going fast enough. Then they fuck the economy again.
Rinse wash repeat.
Obama had to clean up W's 2 failed wars and global recession.
It’s so bad though I’d think cooperation would occur from both side of the isle from sheer relief it’s not DJT.
Who let the dogs out? 🤔
What happenin?
I’m done.
Quinn McDonald it sounds like he is making fun of them... it hurtssss
Lol. “Obama’s brilliant strategy of being black.”
That took him some long term planning ha ha
I'm crying!! Roy was in rare form. TOO FUNNY
1:15 WAIT! Bernie's a millionare. Not a billionare.
Imagine, talking in Chinese accent to get the Asian vote. wouldn't that be racist?
i really hope that black people would vote because of the policies, not because of how politicians talk.
Marcus lunner Blk ppl just like any other races vote their interests.
it was racist, they did not think she was though they thought she was joking, but it was between Trump and her so she was consider the least of the worse, i could not stand her, if the Dems had not fuck Bernie he would-be President because black people would have voted for him instead of staying home.
I enjoy laughing at them when they pander but it doesn’t mean I’m going to vote for you.
@@maryclyne No, black women in particular were Clinton's most reliable voter bloc in 2016.
@@dannyfratina3901 it was either her or trump. She was the lesser of two evils. And from the outcome I think the black women were right. Too bad weren't enough of them to out vote the other thoughtless fools who voted for Trump
"IT'S PANDER TIME!" Right on.
"Its ok simba I got you!" LOL.... Roy Wood Jr .... mmaaannn....
Im tired of trying to be brought by them. As a black man I just want honest policies, but these people are not honest at all.

The same people who cheered for „Pokémon go to the polls!“, probably.
That Mitt one too.
She IS actually from the South. Arkansas is the south. Hell, she might even actually have that accent, but we wouldn't actually know because you have to have a dick to be heard in America.
I really need to know Trevor how much time your correspondents just sit there off camera ...
They don't. They're only there to appear for their segments. They do have other jobs, ya'know! Couple of them work on other shows or do stand up.
@@nunyabizness9594 I know but some of the can be seen sitting there in the between the scenes segments I have seen Ronny Roy and Desi sitting there at the edge of the table off camera...
I really dislike the vitriol aimed at Bernie Sanders. An the constant support of popular Democratic candidates. Sam Bee is the only person on the left that doesn't make fun of him. In some f****** way! It doesn't matter if Bernie's old! It doesn't matter if he talks like a New Yorker! The f****** guy has the skills!!💪💪💪
You know I will say for a group of people, Bernie supporters, that is so firm about saying "Bernie's movement is not Venezuelan-style socialism," you Bernie-supporters really are starting to sound like Maduro-supporters. Anyone who so much as sneezes on the ground that Bernie walks on is just the most evil person ever. Ummm, that's very much like South American style dictatorial socialism. Stop losing it and going bat-shit crazy anybody makes jokes about your messiah.

ok you guys dropped the ball, you had a pic of simba up there but that was a mistake. you should've have mufasa up there so the line "and most of these people won't make it to the end" would REALLY sting lmao
I thought of that too!
Who let the dogs out??? Wtf?? What is he gonna sing among latinos?? POKEMON...GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!!😂😂😂😂😂
*Bernie is so old I bet he thought he was going to be talking to THE Charlemagne.*
😂😂😂
bernie's so old, he participated in the civil rights movement in the 60s...
Brains Applied - The Psychology Channel he not that old. He is only 77, and trump is 72. And Nancy pelosi is 79.
@@blackmermaid1 Bernie is 9 and a half months older than Biden. But I've yet to hear the same ageist jokes about Joe.
@Zotan Inoron They discussed Biden being old on RealTime with Bill Maher last night.
I think the media's focusing so much on Biden's hair-smelling scandal, they don't have time to mock his age. I'm already tired of the campaigns for POTUS and it's just started.
@NastyNate san Can't a guy make a joke about Bernie even if he supports him. Calm down, ur on a comedy channel. The dude is old. Stop being afraid and just embrace it.
I'm still waiting for an openly atheist candidate.
Edit- Just as a point of fact: many people thought JFK couldn't win because he was Catholic. Same for Obama because he wasn't white but also relatively young(even though he was 5 years older than Roosevelt when elected). I can even cite Trump as an example because he is misogynistic, racist, xenophobic, and a huge piece of shit in general. Even though we thought we had progressed more than to elect a troll, it still happened.
We grow as a nation and get closer to a global civilization every time some ridiculous, but well established, precedence is challenged. I'm looking forward to the day when race, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation not only aren't considered, but honestly don't affect the office. The best candidate should be the best for our country and by extension most, if not all, of the citizens within it. We just need to try and stop the backsliding into more garbage fires like Trump.
They will lose
Like wise
@@liltree8382 Qualified presidential candidates lose all the time. Bernie, Hillary, and likely more than a dozen other party nominees in the history of our country. It doesn't mean they shouldn't run to at least get people talking about the idea and moving our country forward. Our government is supposed to be secular, yet only people with a belief that fantasy is fact are viable options? That must be why Trump even had a chance, because reality shouldn't be subject to alternative facts.
@Jared Budler No, I'm not saying that anyone should have to broadcast their religion or the lack of it, but since everyone already is pandering I'd like equal representation. I think of it like releasing their tax returns, it doesn't change the way they would govern but it gives people insight about what matters to that candidate. It would be nice if there were more atheist openly running to normalize it though. The public cares about sexual orientation, marital status, and all kinds of other things that don't influence their competence in the position so if they are going to be talking about all of that, they might as well finish the resume.
You'll be waiting for awhile.

man and i thought there was no dirt on buttigieg
Do a quick search for the March 29th Current Affairs article called "All About Pete" and prepare to find yourself overwhelmingly disappointed in Pete.
Well he did say Democrats focus "too much on policy", and to me that's a strike-one-you're-out.
What about the other two strike s?
Jesus had dirt on him. He hung around with a prostitute. Some say he even married her and had a child. 😲😲😲#ohthehorror
@O SNOOPY SNOOP COLEMAN 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m all for Bernie. No substitute thank you very much 🔥🔥🔥🔥. BERNIE 2020. ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Indeed
Too bad he supports third trimester abortions no matter what the reason with "no restrictions " I can't get behind that.
You like old man dead corpses? Idiot
I luv Bernie too but hes too damn old. He needs to use his cred to support a viable candidate, unless it's some other old white man. I'm so sick of them all, their suit uniforms... you know what's under those suits? Crustacean bodies, like Alien. Yuk
@@tiamaat2387 no more old white male corpses. We should all be over them. History and their track record keep proving the same thing: if they are old, white, or male, they are failures and we need to stop seeing them. Why can't old men do what they're supposed to already? So over them. Retire or die mummy men.
I watch this every 2 or 3 days since aired.. Whenever I need to laugh hard... As in crying levels of laughter. This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on The Daily Show. I love Roy Wood Jr. and Dulcé Sloan
Anybody else notice that the only time Trevor ever talks about Bernie anymore is to call him "Billionaire Bernie" and make old jokes?
playing saxophone lol genuine

I mean, she does have sauce in her bag. Apparently she eats super spicy.
@@nannyoggsally lol you don't know what it means...
@@XiaoGuanYin104 apparently not (I'm not American so that might be why)
I really love the how the Breakfast club dives deeper into politics and not being afraid to talk about it. It’s stressful but it’s something so necessary.
@Tba Zizou that's what you expect from people who aren't political savvy. But what they lack in nuance, they make up in attitude. They are not afraid to call out bs and pandering, even if it makes an awkward situation during the interview. Many professionals interviewers willfully let politicians deflect questions in not to turn them away, but the Breakfast Club doesn't care for formalities.
That's mainly why they're popular with black voters, they aren't as "political correct" and their lack of filter makes them likable.
@Tba Zizou they definitely could, but that's not why they interview people. They care more about their personalities and true intentions. It's more like "other media outlets are going to dig deep in their policies; let's do something different and focus on their character".
Also, they do bring on guests like Angela Rye to simplify the political climate of the month and go into that detail that they aren't knowledgeable on. Not as great as bringing in someone as an interviewer, but their a gossip radio station, they earned their listeners trust by them being authentic, it'll be hard to do that for a guest interviewer that's rarely used throughout the year.
Not one of them is likable. We like the guest s they have on, and that
They ask the questions that Black ppl want to know.
Charlemagne is such a pretentious cunt. I just don't get how that guy is relevant. And did you see the way they conducted interviews with Bernie and Kamala? Or hell the way they spoke to Yang for that matter.
Who cares how many people run? As long as they are qualified, educated and can connect with folks, why not?
Clinton on a saxophone with some tough life glasses on is legend AF!

0:12 I coulda sworn that was supposed to be a marathon bombing joke
the fact that bernie didnt change his policy even though he is a rich one, means integrity and he did not mind to share.
But you just have to attack him using "billionaire and old". I did not like how you delivered that.
Several times now Trevor has referred to Bernie as a billionaire, when Bernie's _"only"_ a millionaire. I'll never even be a millionaire, but even so, I know there's 1,000 times difference between the two. And as a millionaire, who's actually worth 10x more than Bernie, Trevor definitely knows the difference - which makes his lie about Bernie even worse! Which begs the question, "Why does Trevor feel the need to lie about Bernie's worth?"

It's a slap in the face when people go to an urban radio station to reach potential Black voters
Thank you. I’m not saying you can’t go there but that is not the only place to go to reach black voters.
Gloria Iji Who said it was the only place?? It’s not the only place to reach black voters, but it is one place to do so. And it’s just as legitimate as any other place.
Gloria Iji And most of the same candidates who went on the Breakfast Club went to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention. If they were smart, they’d go any and every where they could reach large blocks of Americans.
That is exactly what I said. You said it’s not the only place and I said it’s not the only place.
It's only a slap in the face, if they go on there to pander with no attention of doing any of things they say they're going to do.
Lol Roy is too funny
People, stop claiming only a black ethnicity when a person is actually interracial. Having an interracial society is far superior for it eliminates the divide which is among us now. We must all keep striving to live together as one.
As of yet, no candidate who claims to be pro reparation has presented a sensible, detailed plan on how they intend to implement it. If it were truly important to them personally and morally and high on their list of priorities, one would have to believe that these pandering jokers would have given it a great deal of thought early on in their career.
You can´t say anything against pandering, it is what people want. Otherwise no one would do it.

About pandering to Black people, it's so true that it's not even funny
I don’t need politicians to relate to my interests. Relate to my problems and come up with the solutions. That’s where they will always mess up.
This idea of apologizing for slavery and reparations bugs me. Everybody is only responsible for what they do, not what others do; just because I share a characteristic with someone, that doesn't mean that I am responsible for their actions- neither good or bad. I don't take credit for the good things that other people have done, so I won't take the blame for them either. To be fair, there are people out there who want to take credit for the good that people who share their race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. do, but don't want to take the blame for the bad, and that is just hypocritical. You can't take credit for all the diseases that white people helped eradicate without taking the blame for committing genocide on the Native Americans; you can't take credit for all the inventions that men have developed without taking the blame for all the rapes men have committed. Each person is only responsible for their individual actions- good or bad. We also cannot be defined by one single characteristic (race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.).
Also, in terms of reparations, that is a bad idea on its own, for numerous reasons. Our country has wronged so many groups that we would go bankrupt trying to pay everyone. Even if we decided to pay people that the country has wronged, black people would be second on the list, because slavery is horrible, but not worse than genocide; I think there is an argument that what the country did to Native Americans is worse that what they did to black people. And how far back do we go? Since he country's founding? Since European colonization? Every crime committed since the beginning of time, committed by anyone who shares any characteristic with us (race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.)? That said, the idea of paying people is wrong-headed to begin with, for many reasons. The idea that we can pay off our crimes is kind of insulting; if I punched you in the face and gave you a dollar, and then said we were all good, wouldn't you be pissed off? How much money is being enslaved worth? Does the amount of money even exist? Also, the people that would be paid didn't experience slavery- the people that did are long dead. There is an argument that people now have to deal with the after-effects of slavery and Jim Crow, but how is that solved by handing them a few bucks? It seems like a cop-out to pay them off while doing nothing to address the on-going problems that those groups face.
Instead of reparations in the form of a pay-off, why don't we try to set up a system to correct many of the on-going wrongs. Use whatever money we would hand people to instead invest in poor schools, give black people business and home-loans, and address racial disparities in criminal justice; black people nowadays never experienced slavery, but they do deal with underfunded schools, red-lining, and unfair treatment in the criminal justice system. If you give poor people money (no matter their race), it will often be spent quickly to meet the most immediate needs and wants, without it ever really changing the system that works against them. Reparations would benefit people in the short-term, and only superficially, and I think that there are better ways to address the problems that exist in the system with regards to race.
