How are you? -Good. I'm impressed.

I'm well. I'm impressed with your energy.

-You bet. Today's a good day.

-You had a good day because one of your former, I guess,

competitors for the nomination, Julian Castro,

endorsed you this morning.

-Yes, he did. -That's really nice.

-It really is. [ Cheers and applause ]

-It must be particularly nice to get an endorsement from someone

who, you know, has shared a stage with you,

has gone through the first few months of this process with you.

How do you find out about something like that happening?

-Well, you know, Julian and I

have been friends for a long time,

because we fight for a lot of the same things.

He has this remarkable story about his life

and how he ended up in public service.

And we're out there

fighting for people who don't have a voice in our government.

You know, we both see an America

that's working great if you're rich, if you're powerful,

if you have an army of lawyers and lobbyists.

But it's not working so great for everybody else.

And we feel like we've got this chance in 2020, this real chance

to be able to build an America that works for everybody.

And Julian is just -- just a great partner in this fight.

-Now, you mention partner, because, of course,

anytime anyone endorses someone else,

they go, "Oh, potential running mate."

What do you have to --

-Way too presumptuous

to be talking about that sort of thing.

-Yeah, you don't rush into things.

You got to go slow with stuff like that.

I want to talk about someone

that we're both, I believe, fans of.

It's her birthday today -- Kate McKinnon,

who does an impression of you on "SNL."

[ Cheers and applause ] And I was wondering --

I was wondering how you feel about the impression.

What is it like seeing yourself on "Saturday Night Live"?

How do you feel Kate's doing?

-You know, I have to say she is really fabulous.

She's smart. She's engaged.

You know, she brings a lot of energy.

We wear the same jackets.

-Yeah. [ Laughter ]

I want to give credit -- I want to do give quick credit

to the "SNL" wardrobe department,

who makes more jackets than you can believe to match candidates.

-That's exactly right. She does great.

And, look, here's the deal.

Elect me President of the United States,

and we get eight more years

of Kate McKinnon on "Saturday Night Live."

[ Cheers and applause ]

You know, I --

I played John Kerry, and I think it worked against him.

-See. -Yeah.

I think it worked against him.

-I just got to say, Seth, I know John Kerry.

You're no Kate McKinnon.

[ Laughter ]

-That's very -- That is very fair.

One of the things, as you fight big money in politics,

as you fight corruption in politics,

you stay away from big donors, large-dollar donors.

So you have smaller-dollar donors.

And you sort of famously call a lot of them personally.

-I do.

-But I would have to imagine

a lot of them don't believe it's you.

-[ Laughs ] It's true. -What is it like when you --

I mean, what are some of the things

that people say when you call?

-Well, a lot of people really start with serious cuss words.

-Uh-huh. [ Laughter ]

Sure. No, you know, in the middle of dinner,

you don't want a fake Elizabeth Warren calling you.

-No, they just keep saying things like, "Holy --

Oh, my -- Really?" So there's a --

And then some of the best ones,

I've actually been cross-examined to prove

I'm not the newest version of artificial intelligence.

-Yeah, sure. -And so I've had people ask me,

like, "Okay, this is gonna be a trick question.

When I say 'yes,' you have to say 'no,'"

and -- in order to get me to verify.

But, you know, this is one of the best parts

of running a campaign like this.

I call people who make $5 contributions and $25 --

In fact, go to elizabethwarren.com tonight,

make some contributions, I'll make some phone calls.

-There you go!

-Okay? Let's do it!
