  • This weekend, Las Vegas saw two

  • of the craziest knockouts of all time:

  • Wilder versus Fury

  • and Bernie versus everyone.

  • -(chanting): Bernie! -NEWSWOMAN: This morning,

  • feeling the Bern.

  • Bernie Sanders dominating in Nevada.

  • Sanders not only taking the Silver State

  • but besting his rivals among Latinos,

  • winning both men and women,

  • college and noncollege graduates

  • and even scoring votes from moderates.

  • -(chanting): Bernie! Bernie! -I am a U.S. senator,

  • and I got a big ego, and I appreciate the "Bernie."

  • But it ain't Bernie. It is us.

  • (cheering)

  • Damn, Bernie is really committed to socialism, right?

  • Even when the crowd is trying to cheer for him,

  • he wants to share it back with them.

  • I wonder if he's always like this.

  • Like, on his birthday, are they like...

  • Happy birthday to... ♪

  • He's like, "No, to you. Happy birthday to you."

  • Happy bir... ♪ "No, to all of us.

  • "It's all of our birthdays.

  • "In fact, you should make a wish.

  • My wish already came true. I got socks."

  • (laughter)

  • But yes, Bernie Sanders won big in Vegas,

  • and I'm not surprised.

  • If anyone needs free college and free health care,

  • it's a city full of people

  • who lost all their money playing slots.

  • And Bernie won big with all the big Nevada demographics.

  • That's what made this so impressive.

  • Young people, old people, white, Latino,

  • blue, bent, feathered, everybody,

  • which bolstered his electability argument.

  • But there's still one sizable demographic

  • that Bernie hasn't won over,

  • and it's the other Democrats in the race.

  • NEWSMAN: With the rise of Sanders,

  • his opponents are beginning to take him on.

  • Senator Sanders believes in

  • an inflexible, ideological revolution

  • that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans.

  • Some believe, uh, that the way to beat Donald Trump

  • is to be just as polarizing.

  • NEWSWOMAN: Biden with Kasie Hunt,

  • dismissing Sanders' efforts

  • to tie himself to former president Obama.

  • The way that he talks about it,

  • you think he and Barack were close buddies.

  • And you think they were not?

  • I know they were not.

  • Ooh! (growls)

  • "I know they were not."

  • It's a little weird that the Democratic primary

  • has become a fight

  • about who is actually friends with Obama.

  • 'Cause have you noticed? Everyone is dropping his name.

  • He's in all of their ads, you know?

  • But he's been silent this entire campaign.

  • It's almost like Obama is the imaginary friend

  • all the Democrats have.

  • You know? It's just like, "I saw Obama today,

  • "and he told me I'm the bestest candidate

  • "and that I should be president,

  • "but nobody else saw him

  • 'cause he hides when the grown-ups come."

  • (laughter)

  • But here's the thing. I don't know

  • if Biden should be attacking Bernie

  • for exaggerating his friendship with Obama,

  • especially since Biden has to answer

  • for some exaggerations of his own.

  • Joe Biden has recently been telling voters

  • that he was once arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela

  • in South Africa in the 1970s

  • when he was already a sitting U.S. senator.

  • This day 30 years ago,

  • Nelson Mandela walked out of prison

  • and entered into discussions about apartheid.

  • I had the great honor of meeting him.

  • I had the great honor of being arrested

  • with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto

  • trying to get to see him on Robbens Island.

  • I came back from South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela

  • and getting arrested for trying to see him on Robbens Island.

  • He was in prison.

  • But tonight, The New York Times reviewed all available records

  • and can't find any evidence

  • of that arrest actually happening.

  • Man, this is not a good look for Biden.

  • Because remember, first, he falsely claimed

  • he marched in the civil rights movement.

  • Now he's making up a story

  • about getting arrested in apartheid, South Africa?

  • It's weird.

  • Guy's trying so hard to impress black voters

  • that next he's gonna be like,

  • "I was there when T'Challa did the trial by combat.

  • "I looked Killmonger in the face,

  • and I told him, 'Cut the malarkey, Corn Pop.'"

  • (laughter)

  • Now, although Biden keeps telling this apartheid story,

  • nobody else on the trip remembers getting arrested,

  • and there's no proof of it ever happening.

  • And I'll be honest. As a South African,

  • I'm personally offended by this.

  • 'Cause Nelson Mandela hated it when people used his name

  • to make themselves seem more important.

  • That's what he told me when we were in prison together.

  • (laughter)

  • So...

  • after the Nevada caucus...

  • (cheering and applause)

  • After the Nevada caucus,

  • the Democratic nomination picture is becoming clearer.

  • Warren and Klobuchar

  • need a miracle to get back in the race.

  • Biden and Buttigieg are fighting desperately

  • to be the moderate alternative.

  • And as it stands,

  • Bernie seems to be on a clear path

  • to winning the most delegates.

  • And I can tell you now.

  • When he wins them, Bernie ain't sharing shit.

  • "It's not us. It's me."
