  • The Democratic primary.

  • What was meant to be a one-day event in Iowa

  • has turned into a four-day shitshow of confusion.

  • Only about three-quarters of the ballots are in,

  • so we still don't know who officially won.

  • But as it stands, it's a close race

  • between Bernie Sanders, the world's youngest old man,

  • and Pete Buttigieg, the world's oldest young man.

  • But regardless of how it ends,

  • no one is around to give a victory speech

  • because the candidates have already moved on.

  • NEWSWOMAN: Today, all of the top candidates

  • are in New Hampshire ahead of the primary next week.

  • And as you can see right there on your screen,

  • they're holding events all around the state right now.

  • For some reason, in Iowa,

  • they're having a little bit of trouble counting votes.

  • But I am confident that here in New Hampshire,

  • I know they'll be able to count your votes on election night.

  • (cheering and applause)

  • Man, this is what I love about Bernie Sanders.

  • He does not give a damn.

  • Because he spent a year sucking up to Iowa,

  • and then five minutes after he's left,

  • he's already roasting their ass.

  • Yeah, he's just like, "I want to talk

  • "about the 99% of people in Iowa

  • who have no idea what the (bleep) they're doing."

  • I hope Bernie does this for every state,

  • you know, as soon as he's on to the next primary.

  • He's in Nevada next week like,

  • "Great to be out of New Hampshire,

  • or, as I call it, Dirty Massachusetts."

  • (laughter)

  • But I will say this.

  • I know there's been a lot of trouble,

  • but I think Democrats should consider themselves lucky

  • that they get to work out all of the voting kinks

  • in these super white states like Iowa and New Hampshire.

  • Because this shit wouldn't fly when they're in South Carolina.

  • Yeah. You try and tell an old black woman

  • her vote isn't going through because of a broken app.

  • She'll be like, "Oh, your app is broken?

  • That's funny, 'cause your ass about to be broken, too."

  • (laughter)

  • (cheering and applause)

  • Oh, and-and speaking of technology gone wrong,

  • ever since traffic apps like Waze came along,

  • people have complained that their neighborhoods

  • are packed with cars trying to find the quickest route.

  • Well, now one artist in Berlin might have found a solution.

  • An artist in Germany has found a way

  • to create fake traffic jams on Google Maps.

  • He pulled around 99 smartphones he got in a little red wagon.

  • -NEWSMAN: Look at that! -NEWSMAN 2: And he pulled them

  • up and down an empty street

  • outside Google's Berlin headquarters.

  • And it took about an hour,

  • but eventually, the Google Maps app

  • thought that big buses were outside

  • moving very, very slowly.

  • And they put a little red line on there that said,

  • "Look out. There's a traffic problem."

  • Wow, that is genius.

  • A German artist figured out

  • that if you walk down the street with a bunch of phones,

  • Google thinks there's a giant traffic jam on the block.

  • Which was a slick move by him,

  • but his Verizon bill is gonna bankrupt him,

  • I'll tell you that.

  • Seriously, 99 phones is a lot of phones,

  • even if it is for an art project.

  • It almost makes me think that this is just a guy

  • who had to come up with an excuse

  • after his girlfriend busted him

  • for having a bunch of side chick burner phones.

  • And she was like, "So many phones."

  • He's like, "No, no, baby. It's for an art project.

  • "You see, I-I put them in my sex wagon...

  • I mean, wheelbarrow. Then I-I make traffic."

  • Yeah. But this just goes to show

  • that you can't always trust these apps.

  • Like, I can't tell you how many times

  • I've been disappointed that when my Uber arrived,

  • it wasn't spinning uncontrollably.

  • It's never accurate.

  • (laughter and applause)

  • Now, a lot of people...

  • a lot of people were pissed off at this guy

  • for disrupting traffic,

  • but personally, I support this artist.

  • Because if there's one thing I've learned from history,

  • it's that when a German is trying to become an artist,

  • you help them become an artist

  • before they become something else.

  • (laughter and applause)

  • So, yeah.

  • To that German artist, I say...

  • All right, moving on to health news.

  • Remember how, in school,

  • you had to do that fitness test in P.E.,

  • where they made you do push-ups while everyone watched?

  • It was a nightmare. Right?

  • Well, in California,

  • that nightmare might finally end.

  • Governor Gavin Newsom wants to halt

  • mandatory physical fitness tests for California students,

  • because kids are getting bullied over them.

  • The tests are required for fifth,

  • seventh and ninth graders.

  • They measure everything from strength to aerobic capacity.

  • Critics say the tests contribute to body shaming

  • and other types of bullying.

  • Yes, California's governor wants to suspend

  • gym class fitness tests in order to curb bullying.

  • Because we all know bullies can't body shame you

  • without the metrics, you know?

  • It's such a weird logic.

  • It's like, what, the bullies are just gonna be there, like,

  • "Oh, man, I want to give you a wedgie so bad,

  • but I just don't have the data, man."

  • (sucks air through teeth)

  • (groans)

  • (laughs)

  • But I-I do like where the governor is coming from.

  • You know? Kids in California

  • shouldn't be body shamed at school.

  • That should only happen when they try

  • to break into Hollywood.

  • That's when it counts.

  • And I do think there are better ways

  • to get kids into being physically fit.

  • Like, for instance, in Africa,

  • what we do is we have these things

  • called lions.

  • And they're a very effective motivational tool.

The Democratic primary.
