Video: On Eve of Debates, People in Detroit Struggle to Name Democrat Presidential Candidates
By Kristinn Taylor
Man-and-woman on the street interviews in Detroit done on the eve of this week’s two-night Democratic Party presidential debates show that even the front running candidates are not very well known among voters.
The interviews were conducted by Spectrum News reporter Lindsay Oliver and posted by Spectrum to Twitter. The debates, hosted by CNN, are airing Tuesday and Wednesday night with ten candidates each night.
In the video, Oliver holds up official photos of the candidates for people to identify. It does not go well for the candidates. However, it is not a total disaster for the Democrats as some voters do recognize more than one candidate and some know what the candidate they support looks like–even if they don’t know the candidate’s name.
Spectrum is providing all-day coverage of the debates.
Even leading candidate Joe Biden, former two-term vice president who served in the Senate for decades, goes unrecognized by a Democrat voter.

ANDREW YANG SUPPORTERS FURIOUS AFTER CLAIM HIS MIC WAS DELIBERATELY CUT DURING LAST NIGHT’S DEBATE
Is he the Ron Paul of 2020?
JUNE 28, 2019
Andrew Yang supporters are furious after the Democratic candidate claimed his mic was cut during last night’s debate.
“I feel bad for those who tuned in to see and support me that I didn’t get more airtime. Will do better (my mic being off unless called on didn’t help),” tweeted Yang.
This prompted the hashtag #LetYangSpeak to trend on Twitter.
A video from the debate appears to show the moment when Yang’s mic was cut to prevent him jumping into the conversation, which was allowed of other candidates.
Another supporter pointed out that Senator Michael Bennet got 5 questions to Yang’s 2 despite Yang polling ahead of him.
It appears as though Yang is shaping up to be the Ron Paul of the 2020 race.
In both 2008 and 2012, Paul was dealt an atrocious hand by the media, being treated as if he didn’t exist by the corporate press despite polling well.
“Andrew Yang was on stage for 2 hours last night and the MSNBC/NBC crackpot moderators only allowed him a little over 2 minutes of talking time,” commented conservative Wayne Dupree. “I am not even a Democrat and I see that’s wrong.”

VERITAS: O’Keefe Drops Leaked Internal Google Memo Teaching Employees to Protest Right Wing Policies
Though Trump isn’t specifically named, his policies are.
Project Veritas is back at it Thursday, this time publishing a leaked document from inside Google which reportedly teaches employees how to protest.
The document flaunts the title “Beginners Guide to Protesting,” and encourages users to contact Resist@Google.com become a part of the company’s social activism program. Though the document does not specifically mention President Donald J. Trump, #Resist has become a buzzword used by those who oppose him.
“This document leak is the fourth in a series of leaks from inside Google and their subsidiary, YouTube,” O’Keefe said. “This new document appears to show internal coordination of political protests which contradicts Google’s public statements that they are politically neutral. More tech insiders are coming forward and we will continue to work with them to expose the secrets of Silicon Valley.”
The document has a “Do’s and Don’ts” section (Do: “Talk to the press and express your views. Don’t: “Escalate”) and a section of recommended chants. The chant are typical of what one hears at anti-Trump and far-left rallies across the nation.
One the chants specifically references the “Muslim ban,” (actually a ban on all immigration from seven majority Muslim nations) which is specifically a Trump policy.
Earlier this week, Project Veritas released undercover video in which it caught a Google employee admitting that the group plans to make sure that no one like Trump – presumably meaning a political outsider – can get elected again.
Big League Politics reported:
Investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has released hidden camera videos showing a Google executive explaining how preventing Trump and similar leaders is at the top of the monolithic corporation’s list of priorities.
“Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google. And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation, it’s like a small company cannot do that,” said Jen Gennai, who works as Google’s Head of Responsible Innovation.
Project Veritas notes that Gennai is in charge of the division of Google that is responsible for implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. This includes making sure that political outcomes unfavorable for liberals cannot be reached.
“We all got screwed over in 2016, again it wasn’t just us, it was, the people got screwed over, the news media got screwed over, like, everybody got screwed over so we’re rapidly been like, what happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again,” Gennai added.
“We’re also training our algorithms, like, if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different?” she asked.
Gennai denied any political bias in the wake of the Veritas report, despite removingthe Veritas video from YouTube, its subsidiary.
“Google has repeatedly been clear that it works to be a trustworthy source of information, without regard to political viewpoint,” she said. “In fact, Google has no notion of political ideology in its rankings.”
Warren, de Blasio: I Would Abolish Private Health Insurance
By Alana Mastrangelo
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio admitted they would abolish private health insurance during the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary debate on Wednesday evening.
“Many people watching at home have health insurance coverage through their employer,” asked NBC’s Lester Holt, “Who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan? Just a show of hands.”
Sen. Warren and Mayor de Blasio raised their hands in response to Holt’s question, admitting that they would abolish private health insurance in favor of cradle to grave, government-run healthcare.
Warren and de Blasio, however, are likely not the only candidates on stage who agree with abolishing private health insurance, but rather, the only candidates bold enough to actually admit it.
The Green New Deal, for example, would ban private health insurance, including employer-provided insurance plans. The Green New Deal was endorsed by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Representative Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX), two presidential candidates who shared the debate stage with Warren and de Blasio on Wednesday night.
Moreover, over 100 Democrats have endorsed “Medicare for All,” a proposal that would also effectively do away with private health insurance.
Another Democratic Presidential candidate, Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) — although not present on Wednesday night — has also admitted to wanting to eliminate private health insurance to replace it with a single-payer, government-run “Medicare for All” program.
Less than 24 hours later, however, Harris seemed to have thought better of her statement, quickly walking back her call to abolish private health insurance, and later insisting that “Medicare for All” would not eliminate the entire private health insurance industry.
While it is apparent that not every 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate may be comfortable with confessing their views on private health insurance just yet, the fact that some are willing to openly endorse socialist policies is a cause for concern, and a testimony to the radical shift the Democratic Party has taken over recent years.
