Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti analyze the viral clip of Joe Biden telling Charlamagne Tha God that voters undecided between him and Trump "ain't black." The commentary highlights Biden's perceived entitlement toward the black vote and his defensive posture when questioned about his legislative record.
Nina Turner's role as a surrogate for Bernie Sanders is examined, specifically regarding Sanders' refusal to support cash reparations for black Americans. The hosts question why Turner, as a close advisor, was unable to influence Sanders on this "foundational" issue. Turner is described as a "truth-teller" who is likely too radical for the corporate wing of the Democratic Party.

The hosts express validation that mainstream media figures are finally articulating these long-held sentiments.
