00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Ron Podcast. And we're back at the Ron Burgundy Podcast

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: season two. Baby. After a long back and forth with

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: my heart, a few lawsuits, two mysterious deaths, and a

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: whole lot of memories, we are back in the studio.

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: During our hiatus, I'm happy to say that Carolina went

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: to rehab. I know, I know, I went on a

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: yoga tree. It's not rehab. Okay, well, that's a great

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: cover story, which reminds me Carolina. Baxter and I listened

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: to the whole first season of the podcast, and after listening,

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: we decided to scrap it. We're not going to release it,

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: but it was just too rough. But we know what

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: we did wrong. And to be honest, there there could

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: be less of you in this season because this one

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: we're definitely going to release. Season one got released into

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: the general public. Are you serious? Yeah, it's just it's

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: out there, Oh so embarrassing. Are they going to release

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: this episode, the one recording right now? Yes, they released

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: all of them. Cripes. Okay, well that's better be good.

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you better pull it together, Carolina. Hope that

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: trip to the looney bin set you straight. It was

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: a yoga retreat into lou Mexico. I'm glad we're on

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: the air today because there have been some rumors circling

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: and I have to make an official statement. After talking

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: to my family and my friends and some strangers online,

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: I have decided, after years of thought and dreams, that

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: I will not be running for president. Okay, So to

27
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: everyone out there listening to this fireside chat, I know

28
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: it's a lot to take in at once. How do

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: you feel about it, Carolina? Um, I feel about the

30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: same as I did before you said it. Okay, so

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: you don't You don't feel upset? No, a way, I'm

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: actually relieved. I mean, that would be so scary if

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: you're running for president. Scary. Well, that's it's a bit insulting. No.

34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Ron, I really enjoy you as a colleague,

35
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: and I think that recording a podcast with you has

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: been an adventure. But a president has enormous responsibilities. Okay,

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: but I could do it. I could do it pretty

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: simple stuff. You just have to be honest and remain

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: calm and keep the country running smoothly, you know, making

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: sure no shenanigans are taking place. I think I'd be

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: good at that. I can do some tough work. This

42
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: this podcast, you know, hasn't been a slice of cake. Well,

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: you fired three people yesterday, and don't you think that

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: shows my leadership strengths. No, I mean after you fired them,

45
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: we had to hire three new people and it took

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: the rest of our work day to really interview candidates.

47
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: You know that happens. Yeah, right, I mean not really.

48
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: But it's fine. But did it slow us down? Absolutely,

49
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: But it's not like it ground owned this operation to

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: a complete hall. It absolutely did. We couldn't record. Okay,

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: they just rubbed me the wrong way. So one of

52
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: them just said hi to you, but with a smirk. Okay,

53
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: it could have been a smile, but that's besides. And

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: the other guy always wore a stupid captain's hat. It

55
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: was a baseball hat. Well, what's happened has happened? All right?

56
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: Today we're talking to a woman, Senator Kamala Harris, who

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: was running for president in the year two. Hindsight, Yes

58
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: it is. Let me ask you, Carolina, how hard is

59
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: it to become president when you're a woman. Um, well,

60
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: it's never happened before, and there have been women who

61
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: have been qualified, so yeah, it seems very difficult. And

62
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: why why is that do we think? Um? You know, well,

63
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: there are a lot of prejudices and misconceptions about women. Yes,

64
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: that they can't read your mind, you know, but have

65
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: you ever seen the movie What Women Want starring Mel Gibson.

66
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: He could read women's minds to the tune of three

67
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five million w w BO. Um, what

68
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: does that have to do with what we're talking about?

69
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Three hundred and seventy five million w w BO? Do

70
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: you know what w w b OH stands for? Worldwide

71
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: box office? Because he had the ability to read women's minds.

72
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, um, But as

73
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: I was saying, some common misconceptions about women are that

74
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: were easily distracted or emotional, or can't be in charge

75
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: of important decisions, can't be respected. Wait wait wait wait,

76
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: shut up, shut up, Carolina. I just realized I left

77
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,919

Speaker 1: do that. You have no idea how hard it was

88
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: to do. I feel like I work better when i'm relaxed,

89
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, I know that's how you feel. I'm just

Speaker 1: I hope not. We'll be right back and welcome back

95
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: to the Ron Burgundy Podcast. UM. We are very excited

96
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: to have one of the most esteemed guests that we've

97
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: ever had on the show. Uh, Senator, former Motley Crue

98
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: bandmate and presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Kamala, thank you so much.

99
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you, Ron. Thank you. You

100
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: know what, as soon as I said that out loud,

101
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: I think you you weren't a member of Motley Crue.

102
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Were you not in this life? Okay? Yeah? Did you

103
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: do you play a musical instrument? You know? I actually

104
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: played many musical instruments in high school. Um, I played

105
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the violin, I played the French horn. But it's a

106
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: messy instrument. Yeah, it's messy. You have to kind of

107
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: keep emptying the cartridge. Then I moved on to the percussions.

108
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: I played the xylophone, and that I thought it could

109
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: get more interesting, so I played the vibraphone and then yeah,

110
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: and then I moved on to the kettle drums, which

111
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: was really fantastic because you're in the back, yes, and

112
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: you've got these big batons and these huge drums in

113
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 1: front of you, and you just not you the kettle

114
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: on the kettle drum. That's okay, we'll believe it out.

115
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Don't worry. But I've always hated the fact

116
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: that the kettle drums are in the back. Move them

117
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: to the front. I agree they should be in the front.

118
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: They deserve so much more attention. But that is why

119
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: one plays them the way we do to get that. Well,

120
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: if this plays out in your favor, maybe that can

121
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: be your first executive order to force all high school

122
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: symphonies to move the kettle drums to the front of

123
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: the band. Yeah, something you're thinking about. No, we should

124
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: stop the coordinating the kettle drums. I agree with you.

125
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: So we finally cut We covered that kettle drums. Good.

126
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Um you were you start out District attorney San Francisco.

127
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: What was hard about that job? Is it the snack breaks,

128
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: all the snack brakes you have to take legally? Well, no,

129
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: ron Um, it was you know, what was hard about

130
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: the job was saying some of the worst of human behavior.

131
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean I specialized for a while in assault of children. Um.

132
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: I you know, spent a lot of time over the

133
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: years with moms whose sons had been killed. Um. That

134
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: was rough stuff. It was rough stuff and um, but

135
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: it was also there were highlights I enjoyed when I

136
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: was district attorney, challenging the status quo and I said, look, um,

137
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: let's stop acting like you know, there are only two

138
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: ways to do criminal justice policy. You know, people would

139
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: say you're either soft on crime or tough on crime,

140
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: and say, no, let's be smart on crime. Let's look

141
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: at prevention as one of the smart just ways to

142
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: create public safety, and so I started an initiative, you know,

143
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: and everybody was like, why are you doing this? I

144
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: started initiative focused on low level on drug sales offenders

145
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: and getting them jobs and counseling, and when they graduated

146
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: the program, I dismissed the charges against them. And that

147
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: was incredible work in terms of just seeing that the

148
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: human potential that when you give people the opportunity to

149
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: reach for something, they will naturally reach for it. And

150
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: so there were highlights. Your parents were civil rights activists.

151
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean, were they pissed when they found out you

152
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: wanted to become a d A. They were curious about

153
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: the decision, and with some of them and some of

154
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: my family, I had to defend the decision like one

155
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: would a thesis. But you know what I said, then,

156
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't grow up in your family, because

157
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what the word thesis means. So, yes,

158
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: it means you have to do you have to defend

159
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: your point, You have to um, you have to be

160
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: able to to articulate why you're doing something as opposed

161
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: to just doing it and everyone accepts it without challenging

162
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: your reasons. And my reasons were that the criminal justice

163
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: system Listen, I was born knowing how flawed it is.

164
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: I didn't have to learn about it. I have to

165
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: read about it. I knew it. And I felt that

166
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: when you want to reform systems, um, let's also think

167
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: about being inside the system where we can have the

168
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: power to reform it from the inside. And so that

169
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: was the choice I made, and um and I don't

170
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: regret that choice because having been on the inside, I

171
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: was able to create re entry initiatives for low level offenders.

172
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: I was able to say, look, children who are being

173
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: prostituted should not be thought of as teenage prostitutes. We

174
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: should think of them as sexually exploited you and give

175
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: them the safety and the and the support that they deserve.

176
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: I was able to do things like saying that we're

177
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna acknowledge that the war on drugs was a complete

178
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: failure and we need to have a different approach that

179
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: understands that it's actually a public health issue more than

180
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: it is from Retal Justice Issia, you were also attorney general, yes,

181
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: for the state of California, And just so I'm clear

182
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: what branch of the military is that it's not a

183
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: branch of the military. Run it's actually but you're you're

184
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: a general, Yes I was. I was, General Harris. You

185
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: are correct, but it's a it's it's a part of

186
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: the executive branch of government. Got it. So nothing to

187
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: do with the military. Correct, Okay, Well I'm learning. This

188
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: is what I love about this podcast. I learned as

189
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: much as the audience does sometimes more. Um, So that's

190
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: good to know, Attorney General. Nothing to do with the military.

191
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Although I did speak out about how we want to

192
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: make sure that law enforcement is not militarized. So there

193
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: you're onto something, they're not on the zone. It wasn't

194
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: the worst question you've ever been asked. No, it was

195
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: not the worst, but like might be top ten it was.

196
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: And what does that mean for law enforcement to be militarized,

197
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: meaning that we don't want local law enforcement to be

198
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: or conduct itself as a branch of the military. We

199
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: we do not and should not think of local law

200
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: enforcement as being engaged in a war. Um. Local law

201
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: enforcement has is its primary purpose making sure people are

202
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: safe in a community, and so that's part of it.

203
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: And so we want to make sure that local LA

204
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: enforcement is not equipped with tools that are tools of war,

205
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: because that's not their function and that should not be

206
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: the perspective. With your legal expertise, your knowledge, extensive background,

207
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question. Let's let's say

208
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: one a person kept hinting to someone who works very

209
00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: closely with them, in fact, that that person is female,

210
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: has curly hair, and wears glasses. And you, that person

211
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: was hinting to that other person that all you've ever

212
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: wanted was a small boat, specifically a catamaran. And you

213
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: you hint, and you hint, and you hint, and then

214
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: your birthday rolls around and nada, nothing zip. Can you

215
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: take that person to small claims court? No? Thank you?

216
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: Thank you. If someone makes a funny face at me,

217
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: small claims court. No, my soup was too hot, more importantly,

218
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: too spicy at a restaurant, small claime score. Well, there's

219
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: tea hot and pea hot. For pea hot, no, that'd

220
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: be pepper hot for tea hot. Potentially that's temperature hot.

221
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: Um if for example, it was so hot that injured

222
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, and there was no you know, giving you

223
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: any notice that it might be too hot and wait,

224
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: potentially potentially hot. And so when I walk into a restaurant.

225
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, what's your tea hot level? I

226
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: think that's smart. You should do that, or your hot

227
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully they know those terms, because right it might be

228
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: missing to exactly you know what's it's exactly right? Um,

229
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.

230
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan. Let's make America great again? No, no,

231
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Let's make America gay again. Why what was

232
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: America more gay than it is now? America could not

233
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: be gay enough. I love that. That's my slogan. Yeah,

234
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: so to Mr Trump, make America gay again? It was that?

235
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: Is that what you mixed it up? Trump's is make

236
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: America grade again? Okay, all right, Well I'm not very political,

237
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: so that's why this is so great. This is this

238
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: is a wonderful exercise for me. Do you have a

239
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: campaign slogan at this point? For the people? Kamala Harris,

240
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: for the people, simple to the point, for the people.

241
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: And that means it means that this is by the people.

242
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: It's for the people. It's fueled by the people. It

243
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: means that I intend to be a leader that will

244
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: be committed to the service of other people as opposed

245
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: to self service and self interests, and um, it means

246
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: hard for me. And well, yeah, but that's why you're

247
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: not running. I'm sorry to tell you. We've gone back

248
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: and forth. Is he thinking about it? I just announced,

249
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: I Wasn't you announced you were prior to your arrival. Okay,

250
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's still time if you want to jump in,

251
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: but it might be putting as to bed. Besides, I

252
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: tried to. I tried to put some feelers out to

253
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: raise some money for my campaign. I'm fifteen thousand in

254
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: the hole. I raised negative fifteen thousand dollars in my

255
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: first day. Yeah, you Ron had a party and to

256
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: raise money. But he well, people just got in touch

257
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: with me and reminded me of their debts that I

258
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: owe them. Yeah, the debts I owe to them. So yeah,

259
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: sometimes when you reach out to people, that's what happened. Okay.

260
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: So it's no secret that running for office brings a

261
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: lot of scrutiny. Um, for instance, you know, a few

262
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: neighborhood kids made fun of my mustache once, and and

263
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: sometimes I can't leave the house because I don't want

264
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: to run into those me neighborhood kids. I mean, how

265
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: do you think or how are people going to criticize

266
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: you during your run. Well, I've already heard some criticism around,

267
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: for example, my belief that we should have free community

268
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: college and debt free college for all. And people say, well,

269
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: you know you're living a pipe dream. How are you

270
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: going to pay for that? And my response is that,

271
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: look that that's really shortsighted to think of it as

272
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: a cost. Instead, we should be understanding it's an investment.

273
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: And UM I challenge people to understand that. Even in

274
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: the private sector, people know you put money in as

275
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: an investment because you will get a great return on

276
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: the investment r o I and so, but you know,

277
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: people are critical of that. People are critical of my

278
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: position that we should legalize marijuana. UM. They say, how

279
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: can you say that? You're a former prosecutor. But I

280
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: say it because I know, I know really well how

281
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: the criminalization of marijuana has resulted in the mass incarceration

282
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: problem that we have in our country. It has resulted

283
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: in UM desperate kind of application of the laws UM

284
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: and particular adversely against black and Latino young men. UM.

285
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: And those are some of the areas that people are

286
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: critical of, their critical of um my perspective on you know,

287
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. But I say, look, climate change

288
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: is one of the most existential threats to us as

289
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: human beings, as a species, and we need to take

290
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: it seriously and have a sense of urgency about it

291
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: and have goals that are specific. We may not reach

292
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: them all, but let's be let's be aggressive about this

293
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: because this is the only planet we've got. So when

294
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: the current president says we need global warming because the

295
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: winners are getting too cold, you would disagree. I think

296
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: that he is selling science fiction instead of science fact,

297
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: and the only way to change that perspective is to

298
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: have a new precedent. I love science fiction, though that's

299
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: the only thing. Well, it's okay to read it, but

300
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to live it fair enough, it's kind

301
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: of different. Um, here's the thing. The primaries are going

302
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: to happen. Everyone's going to start to make distinctions between

303
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: each other. But at the end of the day, how

304
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: does everyone keep the harmony h and not rip each

305
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: other the shreds to the point where there's no going backwards.

306
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: I think we will keep the harmony when we agree

307
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: and understand that we are common purpose chicken in every

308
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: pot car and every garage, car every garage. Um, what

309
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: do you think about men speaking over women? It happens

310
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: a lot, yes, and it should not. Everyone should have

311
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: an equal voice and should be respected when they speak,

312
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: and should be listened to. I think that's fair, absolutely,

313
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: And I just have to say, as a woman, it's

314
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: always so exciting to have a female candidate run. And

315
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're so tired of hearing the word of

316
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: female before candidate, but it just means, yes, it's so

317
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: important to have a female candidate. Okay, just overlook that part, Caroline.

318
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: I would do that. That's what I do most of

319
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: the time when it's phrased that way. Just pretend you

320
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: didn't hear it. Um. And also, Senator, the night of

321
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: the election, your victory speech was so helpful and processing

322
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: what was by the way I was going to say

323
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: the night of the election run? Oh I'm sorry, what

324
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: were you saying? Never mind? That's that's fine. Um, we

325
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: have a male president. Now, how do you think it's

326
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: going not so well? And what do you mean by that? Ron?

327
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: You've got to get to the point that you are

328
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more self aware. I think that's important,

329
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, so, so yeah, but it's not going well him.

330
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: You're you're fine. I'm well, thank you. I feel great.

331
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: I lost four pounds last week. Yeah, that's going great.

332
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: You feel good. I feel good. Yes, I feel very good. Um.

333
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you this. Top four favorite

334
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: politicians ever. And they have to be real people. Oh,

335
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: they have to be real, meaning alive, or they truly existed,

336
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: they truly exist. In other words, you know the guy

337
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: from the West Wing, he wasn't really president, No, he

338
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: was not. Um, I would say, surely Chisholm. I would say,

339
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: Bobby Kennedy. I would say Abraham Lincoln. I would say, Um.

340
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: You know one of the people I think is really

341
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: great who is still living, but who has done really

342
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: great work on an issue like climate change, for example,

343
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: is Jerry Brown. UM governor, former governor, former governor of California,

344
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: Jerry Brown. And I believe he was in her ten

345
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: times practically, Yes, you broke all the records. Yeah, I

346
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: mean I didn't agree with everything he did, but UM,

347
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that he always as a leader, had

348
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: a vision of the future and tried to connect where

349
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: we're going to end up with where we are now. Um,

350
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: and thinking about solutions and ways to mitigate harm in

351
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: the future. And do you ever when you feel frustrated

352
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: by politics or exhausted or sort of sort of feel

353
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: like sisiphus um, do you ever look to any of

354
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: these moments in these politicians careers as an inspiration or

355
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: I do? I mean, look, you know someone I've been

356
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: thinking a lot about because I am running for president

357
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: is Shirley chisholm Um. I love the fact that she

358
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: would just own that microphone and speak truth and unburdened

359
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: by what might what others might think of, as as

360
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: the appropriateness of her being present and speaking as forcefully

361
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: and as strongly she did. You know, she that famous

362
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: saying she was unbought and unbossed. And I take great

363
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: inspiration from that because she understood that she was a

364
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: voice of truth and a voice that must be heard.

365
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: And she just went to that microphone and took hold

366
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: of it and didn't ask permission. Someone, I'm surprised that

367
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: you left off the list. And may he rest in peace,

368
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Sonny Bono. Oh he wasn't a politician. Oh he was.

369
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: He was a congressman. Oh yeah, sorry, So guess what

370
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: I got that one right, jerk? No, you're not a jerk.

371
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: I just feel really good that I got Sonny Bono correct. Uh, okay,

372
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: changing gears here. Net neutrality, what does it mean? I mean,

373
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: what will it make it harder for me to upload

374
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: my chili recipe on ron Burgundy Chili recipes dot com. Well,

375
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: if we're committed to net neutrality, you will be able

376
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: to upload your chill with no problem. Um. The problem

377
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: is that there are people in Washington, d C. That

378
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: are trying to end net neutrality, and I am vehemently

379
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: opposed to that. Everyone should have equal access. It's like

380
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: being on a freeway, and why should somebody who has

381
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: more money be able to be in a lane that

382
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: moves quicker and with with greater access than you know,

383
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: a working person who doesn't have the kind of money

384
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: to spend extra on a lane, a specific lane on

385
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: a freeway. And the argument for it is just focus

386
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: revenue and you could tax it and that sort of thing. Well,

387
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: the argument for ending end lenge is basically, let the

388
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: so called free market have its way. But the free

389
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: market doesn't necessarily represent a fair market, and we have

390
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: to understand the difference. And this is the point about

391
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: the role of government. The role of government should be

392
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: to have some level of oversight and ability to regulate

393
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: behaviors that might become abusive in a way that harms consumers.

394
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean I was Attorney general California,

395
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: the largest state in the country, forty million people, for

396
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: two terms. One of my primary responsibilities was to fight

397
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: for consumers, and so it ranged from always taking a

398
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: position on net neutrality and in favor of that, to

399
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: fighting for homeowners against the five big banks the United States,

400
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: to fighting against pharmaceutical companies that were trying and suppress

401
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: UM what was happening around developing generic drugs. UM there.

402
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: Their abuses will occur, and we have to acknowledge that,

403
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: and so we have to have rules in place that

404
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: allow all people to have access to certain fundamental resources,

405
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: and net neutrality is one of those issues. There is

406
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: been a lot of discussion about voter turnout. Voter not

407
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: so much voter turnout. Um, come on round. What am

408
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: I trying to say here? Okay, uh, get it together,

409
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: you can do this. Um, I'm just gonna spit it out.

410
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Should we get rid of the electoral college is a

411
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: two parter. Should we get rid of it? And If so,

412
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: where's the end Do we have to get rid of

413
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: all the colleges? So the electoral college is a different

414
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: and separate issue than college and universities. So that's not

415
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: what that means. And we should definitely keep so we

416
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: don't have to get rid of the Ivy League for instance. Correct,

417
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: they should remain intact. Electoral college. I think electoral college

418
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: and getting rid of it should be on the table

419
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: for discussion. I'm open to that conversation. Um, it is

420
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: an odd system when you try to explain it to

421
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: it's difficult to explain overseas. Overseas I meant by Lake Michigan.

422
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: Those are lakes and seas beautiful, gorgeous. Let me tell

423
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: you it's gorgeous. The waters of Michigan Island. You literally

424
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: you think you're in Disneyland looking at like you know,

425
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: the fake water in Disneyland and disney World. You can

426
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: on the surface of those legs, see right down to

427
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: the clear, clear blue, beautiful water right down to the bottom.

428
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: It's extraordinary. We think we have nice water in California.

429
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: Let me tell you nothing. It's true. I've always said

430
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: that in Carolina. Doesn't believe me, And that's why we're

431
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: going to take a road trip to Legs and then

432
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: you can get that boat. Is that's what the point was?

433
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: Fresh water catamaran? Yeah, which is different? Get it ocean water.

434
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Here's something that's interesting. I'd read a recent court ruling

435
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: in favor of a woman who was ticketed for giving

436
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: a police officer the middle finger, arguing that she was

437
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: protected to do so under the First Amendment. Thoughts, I

438
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: think anyone should be able to give anyone the finger

439
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,239
Speaker 1: and not be concerned about getting arrested. Yes, it's a

440
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: form of expression. I've been arrested so many times for

441
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: that though. That's the only problems to Yeah, now that's

442
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: a different category of expression. Um So, when did you know?

443
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: And I probably should have asked this earlier, when did

444
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: you know you had to run for president? Did someone

445
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: double dare you? No? You know? It was really more? Um,

446
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: I guess fundamentally it was. You know, I was raised

447
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: by a mother. She raised two of us, my sister

448
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: and me, and she was the kind of parent that

449
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: if you came home complaining about something, the first thing

450
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: she do is look at you. And she was like

451
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: five ft tall. My mother was five ft tall. If

452
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: you ever met her, you would have thought she was

453
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: seven ft tall. And if you came home complaining about something,

454
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: the first thing she do is she'd look at you

455
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: and she'd say, well, what are you going to do

456
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: about it? So I decided to run for president? Got

457
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: you no excuses, just why why playing? Just get out

458
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: there and try to fix it, make some changes. Now,

459
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: most presidents get dogs when they're elected to the White House.

460
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: That's a great point, unless they're psychopaths. If you are

461
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: elected president, what kind of puppy, Well, we'll see in

462
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: the White House. Any thoughts on that? Oh, I would

463
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: do a rescue dog, okay for sure. Whether breathe you like?

464
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know I I love mutts, Yeah, I

465
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: really do. Um they and they are smart and they

466
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: are fun. Baxter, my dog, Baxter's a mutton. He's the

467
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: love of my life, even though I love lasa apsos.

468
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: M hm. But we don't have to comment on no comment. Now,

469
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: this is kind of the question we've all been waiting for.

470
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: People have been wondering, and I can't believe I'm asking this,

471
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: but I'm just going to ask, are you considering me

472
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: to be your vice president? And I will take no

473
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: offense to your honest answer either way. But frankly, well, Ron,

474
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, I mean everything is on the table for consideration.

475
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: That's not a no, that's not a no. You know what,

476
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I'll take any cabinet position too, whether it's commerce, labor,

477
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: dance department, any of the top. What do you think

478
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: about creating a new cabinet position, because you know there

479
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: has been talking about how we need to expand the

480
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: cabinet even more. Yeah, yeah, well what do you Because

481
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: I part of why I'm here is is to really

482
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: listen to you and get your thoughts as a potential

483
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: constituent well and also as a potential partner as we

484
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: go forward and lead the country. So I would like

485
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: to create the cabinet position of Minister of Cool Cars.

486
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: I just show up in a cool car every time.

487
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: So and there would be a connection between that and

488
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: growing the economy, like would we because we'd manufactured the

489
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: cars here, right, I would hope. Shoot already made an

490
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: agreement with Toyota. Yeah, you already made an agreement with Toyota.

491
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: We just talked about the beauty of Michigan And no,

492
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, well, I can talk to him.

493
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: I'll see if I can get out of it. Why

494
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: did I sign that paperwork? Okay, yeah, we might have

495
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: to revisit this conversation. Here's the thing, any candidate, the

496
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: Iowa Caucus is a major thing. And of course part

497
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: of the amazing state of Iowa is the Iowa State Fair. Yes,

498
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 1: and we have a list over here of all the

499
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: list of Iowa State Fair stick foods down and there

500
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: are a shocking amount. And I'm just wondering if you,

501
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the first time you're looking at it.

502
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: For there are eighty two items. Do any of them

503
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: stand out to I mean, there's something down here that

504
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: I saw, coconut mountain. I don't know what that is,

505
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: but I'd order a couple of conut mountains. I would.

506
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: Let's so, let's see the cheddar bacon cheese on a

507
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: stick would be really on me, Apple fritter bites, double bacon,

508
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: corn dog, good night Irene. Then there's something just called

509
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: egg on a chocolate covered peanut butter bark that count

510
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: me in the same here. I'm not convinced about egg

511
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: on a stick. Yeah, that seems a little messy. Um.

512
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: Then oh, let's see. So then oh, the Italian bacon

513
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: wrap on a stick, palapeeno corn dog. I would definitely

514
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: have that jumbo toasted marshmallow on a stick. You know,

515
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't love marshmallows. Okay, that's fair enough, all right,

516
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: I'd like them. I mean, like the little ones on

517
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: in hot cocoa if they're like really, I hope the

518
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: marshmallow lobby doesn't get a wind of this. No, you know,

519
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: And s'mores I like them, but um, Carolina, any of

520
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: these stand out to you? Brisket, peanut butter, and jelly fritters. Um.

521
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: Then there's something called hot lips, breaded chicken breast smothered

522
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: with hots off, served with blue cheese dressing. So that's

523
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: like buffalo wings by a four hour nap. Yeah, and

524
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: you know what, that's what I'm thinking, Like, I could

525
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: definitely eat my way through the Ioway. You can hold

526
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: onto that list just because you will be canvassing there

527
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: and it's just good to know this is going to

528
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: be fun and you should come. Maybe I was gonna say,

529
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: maybe we'll maybe we'll run in you guys should come?

530
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: Would yeah? Okay, great, won't that be fun? That would

531
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: be the best. Ron was actually so nervous about this

532
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: question because you know what, Carolina, you guys can then Ron,

533
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: you can interview people at the fair. It would be

534
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: a wonderful way to get a real slice of American

535
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: the Iowa State Fair located in Iowa, yes, August eight.

536
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: It will be a nice mild temperature. Oh yeah, I

537
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,760

549
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: than any of the other candidates. I actually might run
