The Guardian (I think it's conservative?) said Bernie could only deliver an abbreviated 20 minute speech* due to being interrupted by "Black Lives Matter" protestors.
Your posted video proves The Guardian lied.
I suspect they were also among those who reported Trump's 5,000 crowd in Phoenix exceeded 20,000.

From what I've seen there were no chairs. Everyone packed into a standing room only giant hall like a big warehouse. It isn't as impressive as a stadium.

But it is more impressive to me that they were willing to stand for an hour to hear him.
