We've been on the trail yes we have material appears. The other. Yeah sure how good sides Joseph and I've got another -- union dog quietly you know I wanna hear all the no it who need it and I concerned about this than that I think the more people all -- -- you're stupid jokes not do you know why. And they believe race is just save them more hurt so Cabrera hit his -- period this year. Dario are you gonna give them an opportunity these saying hey. You know they're -- Sebastien here what do anywhere going to -- I don't want him to do you -- now. There's nothing vaguely racist about it and strokes what those job to do is give you ability to ridicule in the ridicule is very authoritative. Humorous effective and highlighting something that is ludicrous the thing that is. Is grotesque. And racist and abusive and manipulative -- is the idea of creating these expectations. That you judge people not on the quality of what they deliver about by their lineage. Did you don't have a merit based society. And then you make false claims to that side to that so that merit based on lynch did is. Yeah I mean much worse than that is that -- pretending to be something you're not using it yet to head even and we didn't you don't you go live to do not -- debate about affirmative action already. Without that political figure of one more step up. And that you know you're not even I'm minorities -- you've -- so we don't know guys and the big question I didn't mean to say you guys -- -- a -- committed big. Don't look at the -- people are desperate to try to turn this around. Great we're window though Joseph is it not says separate out for separate from Elizabeth warrant. Isn't it great window and so we you know what's been -- what characterize now is the race industry. There are games that are played in how these ridiculous colleges and universities have this. Thirst for in diversity our core design however you wanna. Referred to what is the notion that Elizabeth warrants somehow or other is a disadvantaged minority should not have grown up put it what's your friends on the ragged edge of the middle class. I'll bet you Arizona yeah definitely didn't we all grow up on the rag I didn't want to look -- more regular mapped out I yeah I agree with -- agree with you do ya know why. And about that. So where is Suzanne -- had -- she was trying to do a pivot last week -- -- -- -- office did she succeed in doing. No no no she was trying to chase does what they're trying to change the subject. But I would isolate card period we're on what Friday I believe reluctant to do a campaign event. This is of course that after the disaster where if you brought up the -- people -- and all that. They're becoming a major national issue. Now who demonstrated let's hear that cook she demonstrated just how good she is it staying on message and what I do when your campaign isn't true. Troubling -- desperately wanted to change the subject. Shake every hand that you could. Possibly find a smile for the cameras and I am proud of -- -- who I am proud of my heritage I just keep repeating the same thing on. I'm -- I'm proud of my family. I'm proud of my family old I am proud of my family and Coburn -- parents it's families are getting hammered. America's middle class is getting hammered and over I'm proud of who -- Nancy do consider yourself a minority I am proud of my family that native American is part of my heritage. Do you ask her if you if she thinks you have any high cheek bone blood. I -- -- bit about the other question I should map period are you proud of your heritage that I think that would have been funny here. But seeing. -- -- -- that you go to eight times in one and one hour. And now with the equipment could -- of the skyward -- review it and I'm proud of my -- so. They're filing I think they battered outer -- brigade who are you ready in you -- -- are they. Just there I'm proud in that little bar because when you get to keep repeating that line over and over well. Exec they want they want and the conversation and secure border there what do you June joy as a reporter. And you keep trying to get an answer a question but all you get is a talking point in the tape loop out of her mouth. They need to appear quite that it makes armored million dollars there's no way you know secret that we do we tried out a lot of anger I did anyway. Any any given me the -- who would -- America all are you do you think you would have handled this. Different you regret the way you handle it -- I'm proud of my area itself. They're pretty much any questions they -- So legitimate technique is a win win reporters have their teeth into some thank. That's how you shake them off -- just I might not given what they need him regulatory. Yeah there's really no way to save the big thing its failure and it debate in September. And a moderator -- you could see he had to keep repeating -- -- you'll look like an idiot. Now if there's a debate whenever they schedule one and we are -- as a bunch of people to set up -- piece. And do I you know dance around the TVs in front of them venue do you think you guys who put it on TV. Ha ha -- yeah I. I don't think there's any doubt halo I I -- assignment for you Joseph this -- journalism assignment and Todd could do it right here lower on the end. You look at the picture -- Hillary Clinton -- on Drudge they say Hillary I had Sharell. Tell me if she doesn't have even high near cheekbones. Were all of the -- and she lied -- -- from the -- nation lost some unlikely that. Yeah -- check it out I'm serious I looked -- the Smart and I said I think she's you and I think she's got native American that. Did I mean a lot of people do have my wife as I keep on keep -- Puerto Rico. He hasn't entered he has some India who does that does that make you a minority applicant do you wanna go to -- near -- -- but that's a good idea I think I might try to use that. But you know it this is all -- you -- I think thing would have been afterwards. The way he credits the I love how how -- nothing that she wanted to meet people public explanation Theodore Leonard Little bit tight you don't think you're going to do things like a white -- would say that's very. Stereotype about American idiot so. I don't know it but the thing that thing about trying to meet people -- big music is really what got our Condo on air because. It became a national joke. -- -- -- -- notice that kid that was the brain trust coming up put the final answer blog did here and lie -- make it to six and make it sixty is. And teaching them how to -- wanted to meet people Schneider he's here to meet people like her when you're making a million bucks a year -- heartland. He's -- -- -- -- let's go see bella to meet people like me a light blue there were not white people are covered the -- I mean I don't go to. So so there's and then a -- actually a very active native American program at Harvard Law School they make it a big priority they'll all programmed Garnett class food and it. Native American -- is actually a pretty hot topic. Because of their right you know try and things -- does that mean it's so. And it has she demonstrated. That she demonstrated agreed interest in noted here every intercourse Bernard C -- -- -- -- -- some pro Bono work to help them -- by the way I could see exactly what she just reminded us somehow offset one or two people are about the Massachusetts state flag. Because of the state COC is -- because of some kind of the Indian character there and I wonder she's may be part of a campaign to have -- changed. Give a darn good spirits as she wants the assets but not effort goes into what it shocked let's talk. So again with a guy like you who are not I think every month -- -- -- -- my its site now a little bit but people are so gonna keep digging. Into -- record trying to find out -- to see whether she ever use it to our advantage. There and be back when she was in I believe Louis University of Pennsylvania near the Texas that's the first -- You know went unreported show you and others have to do that digging but do you have any doubt that the people in Massachusetts have concluded that this was. An effort on her out to secure. An advantage in the hiring process to have any doubt at all that. I think did a good segment that dad doesn't believe her story January that she was -- -- to meet -- ML of that story is pretty unbelievable even though I was sort international people consultants they're going -- ignore. I mean that that would -- they were there there for two days try to figure out what that they and that's what you say. So if so -- -- a lot of doubts about their campaign not just -- well. Everybody maybe there is nothing maybe there's no good answer and they just have to make a stupid answer which is she wanted to meet free -- It was kind of -- her on her own dating service you know -- -- yourself as a native American and get invited to parties. Yeah I mean I have the game it may be your right grid that may be very true that she literally have a good answer forest. And one of those things says hi do you find elements and I'm definitely and the first time candidate a lot of people. Hold back then you're supposed to blow vehicle you know disclose everything you've ever done. Maybe it's a -- not proud allege he did in the past since you didn't help her campaign about belief that they seem to be caught flat. Ordered that's possible -- what does it take a couple hours for you get in the tour three key people gets the other and they decide what the strategy is when an -- -- cirrus and would you would you change even. Remembers discussed -- fifth IE things she also entitled I don't think she would look back on it and think there was a problem for a for an upcoming campaigns who. It would right here -- to run for office said. I don't know I'm. Say even even into when she knew she was gonna run for office -- you because you're saying you're reveal -- secure campaign she wrote -- you would never occurred -- that this is problematic of course she is a right to claim she's a native Americans we live an early idea scam I'm. They minorities yeah I hyper balkanized society everybody it's in -- -- some some data from our. I'm sorry I don't believe that she didn't say you know campaign knew that they know about it. Wouldn't think that hey if you -- rehearsal for the minority how is that possible that they didn't think I could possibly become an issue. Release they put a -- you know Scott have the barn jacket she -- had the that the what what he called those outfits and the Indian women aren't stupid until I don't you better be careful -- -- -- and -- they can only -- -- -- good you know a character cowboys and Indians weren't elected DS skin now yeah that's just about my branch can can yeah if she dressed and. I've actually talked to people who are minorities. You -- are legitimately offended by what she did it's not just Republican the issue you know people who have struggled end. You know -- are there are people who abuse it if they you know cause I told the minority whether they're black Hispanic but it. To date Nagin took the time they're so somebody who's not afraid -- question it's very simple question. What she pretending to be something that she's not yes so I bet they're not yet they're like -- -- Get a good point which is people have legitimately suffered or have heart -- had there -- things to get over. Because of their Arab backgrounds. To see somebody using it as so -- toy you let me skate through this -- and have a little more -- at the cocktail party. That's kind of today and it wasn't long ago that people were discouraged actually native Americans that's why so many people hid in there ancestry. And changing names because they didn't want to be part of the native American because it did cause this. Community and I already know got to tell Boston Herald not ready says spoke of peace -- with Liz warrant in an awkward that you can say can I -- Thanks please say -- deal is dead that attracted by the way -- I would just put Joseph -- -- has been brought to buy the -- guys -- by -- me.
