look, cornell west, how many republicans might vote for him. the number is probably close to zero. but how many democrats who are upset with biden would vote for him? if he's draining votes away from biden in a presidential race regardless of who the nominees are and the country is so closely split, could he have an impact on the ultimate result. the answer is he could. it's very possible that he could, for the simple reason that he will drain votes in some of the states that are so close. josÉ, you know what the numbers are like. this is a very big development in my opinion in the presidential election. >> i thank you both so much for being with us this morning. >>> now to an nbc exclusive. nbc just got video from jack smith. let's listen in. >> is an indictment coming soon, sir? is the investigation wrapping up, sir? anything you would like to say, mr. smith? >> nbc's ken dulaney is back with us. he had nothing to say, which is what you might expect? >> i think he was taken back, because not a lot of people know where jack smith's office is,
