little known candidate tommy johnson couldn't write -- ride a skateboard. that's not the temperament for my president. john kerry ordered a cheese steak and ordered the wrong cheese. he threw a baseball like a roofied raggedy ann. i've seen better arms on a squid. i've come up with some tips when asked to do something normal. first, never do something normal. i can't make pizza so it was embarrassing when fox and friends asked me to make one. i had a bad night. it tastes delicious. number two, only do something you've really good at. you can't throw a baseball, that's okay. you could be like me, massage a cat. it's not like a regular thing between us. number three, take your time. never be in a hurry. slow down, buddy. summer will be here soon. the fact is politicians have hard time doing normal things because they aren't normal. they claim to be of the people but they're about as human as this. got to love donald. it's our fault. do to overscrutiny and jaded cruelty, we've them into something not human. this is why i will never run for office. not only am

musicians like tommy johnson, sonny boy williamson ii, and elmore james all played here.gton, cab calloway, count basie, and louis armstrong all took the stage at places like the crystal palace ballroom and the alamo on farish street. what happened? where did it all go? >> geno: what killed farish street was immigration. once we were able to branch out of our own indigenous black-run businesses, the black-owned businesses died. >> anthony: right. >> geno: so great for the black race, but terrible for the black business. in fact, the only reason you're coming to farish street right now -- >> anthony: mm-hmm. >> geno: -- is we have two churches, two funeral homes, and the big apple inn. so you're gonna either die, worship, or come to my place to eat, and that's the only traffic we get. >> anthony: or all three, and that -- you know? >> geno: that's right. >> anthony: not in that order, but -- >> woman: how you doing? >> woman 2: one hot? how y'all doing today? >> anthony: back when things were hopping, geno lee's great grandfather juan "big john" mora moved to mississippi f

walker factor out who i think is one of the most dominant figures in wisconsin politics since tommy johnson wins by 4 or 5% or moeb. >> you're talk about in wisconsin? >> i'm talking about in wisconsin, yes. >> so there's a 10% -- cruz is ahead 10%. >> i think walker gives cruz 5 or 10%. you have a primary, you have to give a lot of credit to the machine. i know we call it the machine. it isn't meant to be derogatory in any way. i'd love having a machine. >> it's an organization. >> they wrote down all the names. they know who to call. they know what neighborhood to go to. they go -- they know to go see mary wilson, knock on the door, have you voted, it's 4:00. come on i'll drive you to the polls. walker has that. he may have one of better operations in the country because -- >> sure. you go back to south carolina. and you had nikki haley who is a sitting governor of that state. she endorsed marco rubio. then trump wound up winning. >> but she doesn't have the machine that walker has. i mean, she hasn't run in three -- >> right. >> in a way it's remarkable. >> it's a well oiled machine by n
