1
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to book f Daily with

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Meet Your Girl Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker, Folks.

3
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Late last week, Carolyn Bryant died at the age of

4
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: eighty eight, and you may be asking yourself, Who's Carolyn Bryant.

5
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Carolyn Bryant was the white woman who lied and said

6
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: that in nineteen fifty five, Emmett Till, fourteen year old boy,

7
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: whistled at her and for that lie, he was savagely lynched.

8
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: His mother would later used his broken and bruised and

9
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: battered body to show the world what white supremacy does,

10
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: what racism does. Mammy Till was courageous because of Carolyn

11
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: Bryant's lies, she had to bury her son, her baby.

12
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: We love to use in mainstream media black and white

13
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: photos in imagery in order to showcase how long ago

14
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: something was. You see, Carolyn Bryan died at the age

15
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: of eighty eight from cancer. I pray to God in

16
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: the universe. It was excruciating because she got to live

17
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: out a full and complete life, probably married, had kids, grandkids,

18
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: when on vacations, made friends, lost friends, worked, lived a

19
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: full and complete life without any accountability or responsibility for

20
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: a lie, a vicious, disgusting, deceitful lie that cost a

21
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: young fourteen year old boy his life and would ignite

22
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: be one of the many flames that would ignite the

23
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: civil rights movement. Now, what America loves to pretend is

24
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: that our racist history is so far gone. Look how

25
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: far we have come. Carolin Bryant was eighty eight years old.

26
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: There are people who are alive walking around have yet

27
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: to retire, that remember the Jim Crow South, that were

28
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: a part of what is not taught in American history

29
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: about the great migration of black families that would leave

30
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: the South and move to a just as racist, but

31
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: not as violent North, and spread across this country, which

32
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: is why you have many stronghold pockets of black people

33
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: in the Midwest and in northern States. We like to

34
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: believe that our history is longer than it is, and

35
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: it's not. Recently. We also lost, but this was an

36
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: actual lost. Whereas Carolyn Bryant's death is good riddance. I

37
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: hope that you never rest well, and I hope that

38
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the fires of hell get you. And I mean that

39
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Who we did

40
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: lose was Harry Belafonte, activist, singer, actor, philanthropist who used

41
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: his celebrity to give a platform and a voice to

42
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the civil rights movement, who used his own money to

43
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: bail out numerous times. His friend Martin Luther King Junior,

44
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: who sat next to his wife, Coreta Scott King at

45
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: his friend's funeral. Please forget that these people that we

46
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: talk about in history were real people, not just symbols.

47
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Who risk their lives, who risk their celebrities, who risk

48
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: their platforms to voice movements to usher in change. I

49
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: say it all the time because it's important for us

50
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: to really understand that this country is at yet another

51
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: inflection point where you have schools in Texas that are

52
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: about to display the Ten Commandments, that are bringing back

53
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: prayer in school, passing legislation. This is indoctrination. Everything that

54
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: we thought that made America great, that created a separation

55
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: between church and state in our public places, is now

56
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: being pulled back while they are racing history, going to

57
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: war on consciousness, undemocratically removing elected officials from being able

58
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: to speak and debate the issues. They did it in Tennessee.

59
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: They just did it in Montana with the first trans

60
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: woman elected to the state legislature. There, Zoe Zeppyr. Our history,

61
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: if we actually were taught it, we would recognize is

62
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: not that old, and we would be able to recognize

63
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: and acknowledge the same patterns in the same tactics that

64
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: were used to thwart the civil rights movement in the

65
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties and prior are being used now and they

66
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: are winning at the state and local level, not yet

67
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: at the federal. But that is what the twenty twenty

68
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: four elections will be about. I bring up this history

69
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: to say, we have been here before. None of this

70
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: is new. Who is being attacked may have changed, not

71
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: just black people being shot and lynched in the streets,

72
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: but attacks on trans people, attacks on queer people for

73
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: daring to exist in their skin. We have got to

74
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: understand and learn and unpack our history so that we

75
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: can take the tools that were used and be able

76
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: to institute them.

77
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: Now.

78
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: We have been in this dark, dangerous place before, which

79
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: means that we have to bring the light if we

80
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: are to get to the other side. That is what

81
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: they want us to believe is not true, that their

82
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: America is inevitable, and it is up to us to

83
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: call bullshit on their white supremacist wet dreams. Coming up next,

84
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: my conversation with our friend, our in house doctor, doctor

85
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Metzel. Folks, you know that whenever I have an

86
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: opportunity each week to speak with our in house doctor,

87
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: doctor Jonathan Metzel, I'm always thrilled. And I've never met

88
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: a person that is committed to this show more than

89
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: I am, which is Jonathan, who is literally in transit

90
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: right now but able to join the show. Jonathan. The

91
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee Three, who were made famous by the Republican Legislature

92
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: after trying to boot them from their duties as elected representatives,

93
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: have made their way to the White House for a

94
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: sit down with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

95
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your reactions to this meeting and

96
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: the President really talking about his commitment to democracy and

97
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: applauding them for the movement that they've started.

98
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: Well, hey, everybody across America, I'm delighted to be here.

99
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: I'm actually driving in a car across from Michigan right now.

100
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful day. I'm driving through farmland and just

101
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: happy to be part of this conversation. And I will say,

102
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: you know, I think that there are a couple things

103
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: to think about with the Tennessee three and why that

104
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: was important. First of all, of course, is that the

105
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: issue it was a huge issue about Tennessee, but it

106
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: was also an issue about democracy. In other words, these

107
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: were three democratically elected congress people who if not for

108
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: one vote with regard to one of the politicians, just

109
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: literally one vote, and then kind of a loophole that

110
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: the counties could could basically just reappoint at the other

111
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: two congress people they would have We would have three

112
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: democratically elected people who were just kicked out for something

113
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 3: that was no more egregious than anything else, that.

114
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: Less egregious than other people have done it.

115
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: So it represented something much much larger about democracy. And

116
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: so I'm really glad that. I'm glad the story got

117
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: so much attention, honestly, but I'm also glad. I think

118
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: what's important is we see this a lot. I've seen

119
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: this with gun issues and things like that, which is

120
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: something will get a lot of attention, and then we'll

121
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: move on to the next story, because there's always something next.

122
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: And so I'm also really glad that the president and

123
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: the Vice president are basically making a sign that they're

124
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: going to keep this in the public eye, which is

125
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: what they're doing by this thing to basically say, even

126
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: when the news cycle, even when the news cycle changes,

127
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: we're going to learn from this, because I do think

128
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: that the bigger issue about about just you know, standing

129
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: up for the sanctity of elected officials is something that

130
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: is playing out across America and it's something that needs

131
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: to be sustained beyond just one news cycle.

132
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that's right, because you know, one

133
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: of the issues that I think that you know, all

134
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: of our important issues have, whether it be climate change,

135
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: that where we are talking about climate change and the

136
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: effects when a superstorm or super tornado or of fire

137
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: is burning in this country and destroys homes and property,

138
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: then we want to have this conversation, and then it

139
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: goes away. This similarly is true unfortunately as it pertains

140
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: to gun violence. You have the mass shootings in the headlines,

141
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: and then it goes away. And I think that to

142
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: your point that both the president and the Vice president,

143
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: the vice president flew down to Tennessee, you know, when

144
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: all of this was happening to signal just how committed

145
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: the White House I think and the Biden administration is

146
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 1: to keeping this front of mind. I also wanted to

147
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: get your thoughts Jonathan too, because as well as as

148
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: as this meeting that took place, Joe Biden, President Biden announced,

149
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, via his video, his bid for reelection in

150
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. In the video, right, which I'm certain

151
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,359
Speaker 1: that you've seen by now, you know, we see massive protests,

152
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: we see you know, protest signs with a slash through guns.

153
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: We are talking about abortion, and you know, somebody had said,

154
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: one of the analysts on cable news had you know,

155
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: lifted up that this is the first time which is

156
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: really hard to believe, but I don't doubt it. It

157
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: is the first time that a re election campaign where

158
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: Democrats are actually going out and talking these really critical

159
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: issues that are also controversial. So I wanted to get

160
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts on what you make of what you made

161
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: of the video, but of the clear inclusion of both

162
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: abortion being a key issue and guns.

163
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: Well, let me say two things first, because I think

164
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: these two isstions we're talking about are connected. And so

165
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: the first thing I want to say before jumping over

166
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: to Biden is the reason that Tennessee three is important

167
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: in relation to the twenty four election, is that the

168
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: playbook that the Republicans were going to use or are

169
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: using to basically get people out of elected office. It

170
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: wasn't just about the Tennessee State House. They were have

171
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: been doing or are going to try to do this

172
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: same thing with a bunch of different important positions across

173
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: red state America. The person who actually started the ball

174
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: rolling was DeSantis, who you know, state defense and prosecutors

175
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: are democratically elected in Florida, and with minimal fanfare, he

176
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: just pushed out a prosecutor, an elected prosecutor in Florida,

177
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: basically saying I'm going to replace you. And I think

178
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: there were plans or our plans to do the same thing,

179
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: not just for these high profile cases. I think they

180
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: honestly screwed up by not realizing how high profile this

181
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: was going to be, but for election positions and attorneys

182
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: general and things like that I know across Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri,

183
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: other places. And so I think part of the reason

184
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: that standing up for the Tennessee three in relation to

185
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four election is important is because it

186
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: has direct out direct It's not just about democracy as

187
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: a policy it's about democracy in relation to how votes

188
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: are going to be counted in twenty twenty four. So

189
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: I just wanted to make that point first. I'm curious,

190
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: you know, you and I will be talking about this lot.

191
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean Biden's strategy. I mean, let's be honest,

192
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: Biden is not the most charismatic person who's ever who's

193
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: ever run for presidents. So so, but I do think

194
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: that Biden as a comparison. I mean, basically, we're betting

195
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: a lot on the Republicans, the Republicans being very extreme.

196
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if I was a Republican strategist right now,

197
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: I would say, run back towards the middle, and so

198
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: you know, say, oh, we're.

199
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Oh, they're too Jonathan, They're too far off a cliff no,

200
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: to even to even take that, to even take what

201
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: would logically be a good campaign strategy to even do that,

202
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: Like the there is no way for them to run

203
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: back to the middle, because they are literally over. They

204
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: have jumped the shark at this.

205
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: I know that's true.

206
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: I just feel like we're betting the house on them

207
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: being crazy, and I'm sure they are going to be crazy,

208
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: you know, and push each other other to the right,

209
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: But I do think we're opening a place where if

210
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: they I mean, again, I agree with you, they're not

211
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: going to do it. But you know, elections are one

212
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: and loss based on independent voters, middle middle of the

213
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 3: road voters, and so we're betting a lot on them

214
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: running the same playbook that they ran that they've been running,

215
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: which I'm sure is right. But if for any reason

216
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 3: they don't do that, then worse then.

217
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: But I mean, I just even like, here's the thing

218
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: is that I'm going to push back on you a

219
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: bit in terms of the independent voters and middle of

220
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: the road voters because by virtue of the Republican Party

221
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: running so far to the right and and airing out

222
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: their extremism and their white Christian fascist views on pretty

223
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: much everything from books to LGBTQ people, to voting, to

224
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: history to curriculum to abortion, Like, there is no there's

225
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: no way to put the hood back on, there's no

226
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: way to put the genie back in the bottle here,

227
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: because the you can point to the four hundred pieces

228
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: of legislation that have been put out to ban you know,

229
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: queer existence in this country in Red States. You can

230
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: point to the book banning that is happening in every

231
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: red state. You can point to all of these things.

232
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: So even if Donald Trumport to say, oh, I think

233
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: abortion is a losing issue, well it's too late, right,

234
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: because the red state legislatures, once Dobs was overturned last summer,

235
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: went all the way to either heartbeat quote unquote so

236
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: called heartbeat bills or no abortion at all whatsoever, even

237
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: at six weeks or in the case of rapeen incests.

238
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: So for the messaging on the point on the side

239
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: of Democrats, like all they have to do is run

240
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: the clips, you know where you have Republican legislatures talking

241
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: about rolling back child labor laws, rolling back and rolling

242
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: back marriage laws and saying that they know people that

243
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: have been married since twelve then that's it's okay because

244
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: it's not incest. So I just want to say that

245
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: I think that by virtue of the Republican Party going

246
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: so far extreme that whoever we believe to still be

247
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: in the middle is no longer in the middle because

248
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: every issue, every issue that you would have been middle

249
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: of the road on because they didn't step in that puddle,

250
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: yet they've been jumping in.

251
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

252
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 3: No, let me be clear, like I'm not saying that's

253
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: what I think they're going to do. And I'll even

254
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: one up you on what you said, which is, there's

255
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: no way to take the hood off. The hood is on,

256
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: like there's no doubt about that. So I have no

257
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 3: doubt that the hood is on, like there's the record

258
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: is there. What I said was, if I was a

259
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: Republican strategist, that's what I would be saying, because I

260
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: think I guess the issue I was saying is the

261
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: Democrats are playing their cards early by picking Biden. First

262
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: of all, of course he's the incumbent, there's history there

263
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 3: By picking Biden, you're not picking enough a bunch of

264
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: other people. You're not going to have competitive debates. So

265
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: you're basically picking Biden because he's beaten Trump and he's

266
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: the anti Trump. And you're picking Biden because of course

267
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: he's got a track record which people people care about.

268
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: But you know, people vote in presidential elections for a

269
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: bunch of different reasons. And then you're then you're highlighting

270
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 3: all the extreme stuff that the the Republicans have done.

271
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: And so I don't I don't doubt that that's probably

272
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. I mean, I think there are

273
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: a lot of very smart people who see in the

274
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: inevitability of Trump getting the nomination, of Trump not being

275
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: able to control himself. But I but, but, but but

276
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 3: but I think it really increases the Like I mean,

277
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 3: let's think about it, and you and I've talked about

278
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: this a lot, like why did why did Biden win

279
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: in twenty He won because people were afraid of Trump?

280
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: Because Trump completely, you know, fracked up COVID. He he

281
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: had a whole debate where he had COVID on stage

282
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 3: and we were checking the audience and was sweating. He

283
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: suppressed the mail in vote, right, he was going against

284
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: the Post office, so Republicans didn't vote mail in, which

285
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: was a huge deal for Democrats. And so I'm just saying,

286
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: and of course we learn from that also, But I

287
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: just if the Republicans make exactly the same mistakes, again,

288
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: it's totally a cakewalk. I feel like there's going to

289
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 3: be something like they'd be crazy to not say everybody

290
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: do mail in ballots, or let's make it easier to

291
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 3: do something like that. So I just don't think they're

292
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: going to make the same mistakes. And so I just

293
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: think it's going to be a harder campaign for Biden,

294
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 3: which is maybe why making the stakes very clear right

295
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: now about you might not love Biden, but here's the alternative.

296
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the Maybe that's the winning argument. It's about democracy,

297
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: it's about abortion, it's about guns.

298
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: But I just think, I just, I mean, I just

299
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: don't think that this race is going to be I mean,

300
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: I think that twenty twenty was damn near and possible,

301
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: and I don't see any difference between this presidential race

302
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm being you know, I think that they're

303
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: they're both equally as difficult. Right twenty twenty, we were

304
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: at the in the height of a pandemic, and he

305
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: was able to pull out the election. And this was

306
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: a man who until you know, mister Clyburn in South

307
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: Carolina came out full force and said we're going with Biden,

308
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: like he was just floating in the water right of

309
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: the primary. And so when I look at now, with

310
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: twelve million jobs, you know that he's added to the

311
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: economy more than any president ever. When I look at

312
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court nomination, when I look at the infrastructure bill,

313
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: when I actually look at these things, and I say

314
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: this as somebody who was not a pro Biden person, right,

315
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: But I'm just like, he has surprised me at every

316
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: single turn over the course of his first term, and

317
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: I can't and as somebody who was on the fence,

318
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: not even on the fence for him, I wasn't even

319
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: in the room for him.

320
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 3: We have a record of that because I talked you

321
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: into him on this show, and yeah, so I of

322
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: course I know that. And I think he's done a

323
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: very admirable job as president, there's no doubt about that.

324
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: I totally agree with you.

325
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 3: But but I think there are gonna be a lot

326
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: of twists and turns that are they're just I mean,

327
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: like what if what if he goes to prison trap

328
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 3: or something, you know, like there's so many things that

329
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: could happen. My only point is we're we're laying down

330
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: the green the groundwork very early of the choice, right.

331
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: It's like you, you know, for people who might be

332
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: on the fence about Biden, even still here's the choice.

333
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: And I think it'll be interesting to see how how

334
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: the Republicans respond to that, you know, and now without

335
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson, without all this stuff, it'll just be I

336
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: think this is going to be a lot. This is

337
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: going to be a lot of work, which is no

338
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 3: surprise to anybody, but but I think it'll be a

339
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: lot of work. But I of course I think it's great,

340
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: and I think it's important that the Democrats lay down

341
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: the stakes of this election early, lay down the terms

342
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: of the debate early, and I would just bet it's

343
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: going to be a lot of work and they're going

344
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: to be twist and turns that are unexpected.

345
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: What do you think about guns, Jonathan, being one of

346
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: the things that is the issue that Biden is going

347
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: to lean into. Do you think that for the movement?

348
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: And I'm talking expressly about the movement, not necessarily electability.

349
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: Is this what the movement has needed, which is for

350
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: Democrats not to just be reactive, but to be proactive

351
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: in pushing because we finally have reached maybe our limit

352
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: in terms of how many children's deaths were willing to take.

353
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's important for two reasons. I'm going

354
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: to give you both to the coin here. The caveat

355
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 3: is that historically, even though you know, Democrats love to

356
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: stats like eighty five percent of people support background checks,

357
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean that eighty five percent of people

358
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 3: will vote for Democrats because they support background checks. So

359
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 3: guns have not historically been an issue that people vote on.

360
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: It's been across half the country actually a political loser.

361
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: So even though eighty five percent of people will tell

362
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: polsters that they support common sense gun reform, people don't

363
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 3: go to the ballot and vote based on gun issues.

364
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: That has not historically not been Republicans are much more

365
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: likely to vote based on guns, and so it's been

366
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: an issue that people don't vote on. But I think

367
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: that things are different now. Things are really different now

368
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: because young voters really care about gun reform. And so

369
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: people twenty five and under, the people in Nashville who

370
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: just add a four mile human chain, the people who

371
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: went out to support that, the Nashville three, you know

372
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: who who who were protesting after the mass shooting. So

373
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: I do think that appealing to gun reform is a

374
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: real winner now because young because young voters are so engaged,

375
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: and so I'm kind of betting that we're going to

376
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: see a shift in guns as a as a as

377
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: a ballot as a ballot issue. I think that's what

378
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: they're betting on because it really does mobilize young voters

379
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 3: who really and truly care about this issue, and so

380
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 3: I think it's smart right now, even though I wouldn't

381
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: have said that even six months ago, right.

382
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: And that and that's I think that that's kind of

383
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: that was the thing that stood out to me, you know,

384
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: obviously alongside you know, there were three things in in

385
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: the campaign video, which was abortion, guns, and democracy and

386
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: actually referring to MAGA extremism. And I think that what

387
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: this administration has seen and what you know is it

388
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: is really growth. Because when Joe Biden came into office

389
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, I think that he thought that there

390
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: were still reasonable Republicans for him to sit down, share

391
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: a drink with and like hammer out deals, you know,

392
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: to better America. I think over the course of his

393
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: first term, he is realized that those days are gone, right,

394
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: that the people that he thought that he was going

395
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: to be able to rely on to be the adults

396
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: in the room, drank the kool aid of MAGA and Trump.

397
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: And so I think that by virtue of him looking

398
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: at the base and seeing how young people, how black people,

399
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: how people of color ushered him into the presidency in

400
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and the issues that are important to them

401
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: that he's going to double down on that, and I

402
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: think that, particularly for me as a staunch progressive, I

403
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: want to see that and I want to see more

404
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: of it.

405
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I mean, of course, like four years ago,

406
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 3: he never probably thought I'm going to run a campaign

407
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: like this.

408
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: And again I think I agree with you.

409
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 3: I mean, you know there are I know because I

410
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 3: just gave a talk to a bunch of conservatives in

411
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 3: the middle of Michigan. I know there are like every

412
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: day people who are in the middle who identify as

413
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 3: a Republican who don't who are also I mean, there

414
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: are plenty of Republicans who think that Miffy Pristown should

415
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 3: be legal. There are plenty of Republicans who are gun

416
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 3: owners who think that we should have background checks. But

417
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: I do think that the political Republicans, the people who

418
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 3: are elected, there's just no room because the people who

419
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: are elected are are so extreme. And so I think

420
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: he's reading the room politically in a way that might

421
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: it might appeal to some people, but I also think

422
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: that rallying his own base is exactly the way to go.

423
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 3: And again, I think setting the terms of the debate

424
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: right now is super important in a way that also

425
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: I think You're exactly right, is mobile. In other words,

426
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: I don't think he can win an election right now

427
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: by saying look what I did with the Inflation Reduction

428
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 3: Act or the money people got during the pandemic, because

429
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: it's too easy for the other side to say, well,

430
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: look that caused inflation, or I've done I've done plenty

431
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: of interviews with people who feel like the government gave

432
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: out way too much money to black people. Like that's

433
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: kind of every every research, every focus group I do,

434
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: some white conservative will say something like that. But I

435
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 3: do think, you know, the Democrats have never run a

436
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: campaign which is like a Republican campaign, which is just

437
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: to scare the shit out of people about what happens

438
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: if the other side is elected. It's really a page

439
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: out of the Republican playbook. You know, you might not

440
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: love me, but holy crap, look at the other guys.

441
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: And I think that's what they're doing. And again, I

442
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: think how the Republicans respond. I mean, they've been trying

443
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: to respond in certain ways. They're probably just stuck with

444
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: Trump inevitably. But you know, I'll give you one more caveat.

445
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: I'm sorry for being like mister caveat today, but I

446
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: never thought I would see the governor of Tennessee, Governor

447
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: Lee ever ever, ever, say that he would support anything

448
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: to do with gun reform ever in his life. But

449
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: when nine billion young people showed up and he thought

450
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: that he could get elected booted out of office, all

451
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden, he's supporting He started supporting red flag laws,

452
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: which I never thought I would I never thought I

453
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: would see in my lifetime. So I guess the one

454
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: issue is if they feel like they're going to get

455
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: elected booted out of office based on their positions.

456
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: I don't think that. I think they love.

457
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: Power more than anything, and so if they feel like

458
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: these issues are losers for them, and it's it's pretty clear,

459
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see how they respond. That's the

460
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: one caveat I'm going to hang my hat on for today,

461
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: even though I'll give up on the all the other ones.

462
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Well, Jonathan, we have a lot of time ahead of

463
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: us to be able to discuss this issue, as well

464
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: as all of the twist and turns that we both

465
