And you're going to 33 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 3: out out Casey's talk. It's a great channel that we 34 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: have with Tyres. Oh good, there you go. All right, 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 3: mister president, thank you. 36 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: This is the guy who believes that cb I should 37 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: lose its broadcasting license because it put the wrong answer 38 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: for a different question in the Kamala Harris sixty Minutes interview. 39 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: He believes that that should happen, but he also believes 40 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: that Fox should not play any negative advertisements about him 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: or have any pundons who are not thoroughly maga. What 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: is totally fascinating to me about this is it's funny 43 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: because it's like he is clearly has this sort of 44 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen view of the world. 45 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: So he really does believe that if he can just. 46 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: Get enough positive coverage on Fox, he can win this election. Meanwhile, 47 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: it's a country of three hundred plus million people, and 48 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: what five million watch Fox? And of those, it's probably 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: less than five million. Of those four point nine nine 50 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: to nine million of. 51 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: Them are maga to the extreme. 52 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: So playing a negative Trump ad does not do anything 53 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: except make Trump crazy, which I guess is sort of Weirdly, 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the case for George Conway and Rick Wilson's audience of 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: one ads is that really bothers him to see negative 56 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: ads about himself, and perhaps that is the reason to 57 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: do it. 58 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: Another crazy thing he said, well he was visiting the 59 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: friends at Fox, is that he's going to close the 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: education department. What's listen, Education close it. 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 5: I'm going to hold them anything to do with school 62 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 5: cusses it but also suffer from school ures. 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: We're going to take the. 64 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 5: Department of Education. Close it. I'm going to close it. Well, 65 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 5: one person could be you if you decide to retire. 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 4: Here's what Central guests who bothers me about that. 67 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: The pushback is stupid. They're like, well, what happens if 68 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: their school is teaching woke? Because we need the Department 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: of Education to stop the teaching woke, showing that none 70 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: of these morons know what the Department of Education does 71 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: at the federal level. So here's what it does do. 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: It does pel grants. It does federal education grants. So 73 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: if you are in a red state where you have 74 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: very low state taxes, then you get less money for 75 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: education and you rely more on federal money from the 76 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: federal government for education. What this will do is red 77 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: states will get less money for education. Congratulations, Red States, 78 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: you have played yourself. But also moreant ending the Department 79 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: of Education is something that comes directly from Project twenty 80 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: twenty five. He'll remember Project twenty twenty five, the sort 81 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: of book of legislation written by Trump's people that Trump 82 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: said he knows nothing about. 83 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: So out in Pennsylvania, the crucial swing state, Elon Musk 84 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: is holding a bunch of town halls. End up, Molly. 85 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 3: It seems stupidity ensued, which I'm really shocked about. 86 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: Elon Musk has moved to the state of Pennsylvania because 87 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: he believes it will help Donald Trump. Because he went 88 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: to the University of Pennsylvania for three years and so 89 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: he's practically a Pennsylvanian. 90 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: I'm sure he says John all the time. 91 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: So he did, in fact, like the one thing, and 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: I wonder how much this is true. I feel like 93 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: there's some a lawyer somewhere. One of his lawyers, because 94 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: he is a billionaire, he's the richest person in the world, 95 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: said to him something like, just you could talk about 96 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: whatever you want, but don't talk about Dominion. So he 97 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: got up there immediately and started talking about dominion. Dominion 98 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: got a settlement, but smart Mattock is still suing Fox anyways, 99 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: so dominion is very litigious, and Mosque immediately brought that up. 100 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: And by the way, the great part of this story, 101 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: like the great irony, is the Dominion doesn't serve Philadelphia. 102 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: Dominion's voting systems are based on paper balance, and Dominion 103 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: really doesn't like it when you malign them in public. 104 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: So Elon, you're probably going to get a call from 105 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: the lawyers. 106 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,119 Speaker 3: That wasn't the only stupid thing he said. 107 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: Another fun one Elon called Biden and Harris puppets controlled 108 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: not by one but by many puppeteers. 109 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: And then somehow again whatever, that's ridiculous. But my favorite 110 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: part of this is that somehow he was able to 111 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: work into this conversation Epstein, Epstein's client list, and he 112 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: said he thinks there's going to be a number of 113 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: names that are both Harris's puppeteers and Epstein's clients. 114 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: Okay, sure, considering the pictures of him with Jislad and 115 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: Trump with both Epstein and Gieslab and there's none of KABLOA. 116 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: Harris and Donald Trump. I think it's a little ridiculous. 117 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: Hard to fathom, Miley. 118 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: So there's this horrible analysis that suggests that twenty twenty 119 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 3: one Texas abortion bin results in an increase in infant 120 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: deaths in the state. What are you seeing here? 121 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: So? I really wanted to cover this because it just 122 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: hasn't gotten a ton of coverage. It's an analysis that 123 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: it's from pro publica. It's a pediatric study comes out 124 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: of the Bloomberg School. It's published from the Bloomberg School 125 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: of Public Health at Johns Hopkins, And basically what it 126 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: says is that in the year of twenty twenty one, 127 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: when SB eight, which was the ban on abortion, happened 128 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: a year before Trump's Supreme Court over turned Roby Wade. 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: In that year, there was a twelve point nine percent 130 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: increase in infant death in Texas, and what that increase 131 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: was was women who have to carry babies who were 132 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: very likely to die, and so the numbers just jumped up, 133 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: and it was in the first twenty An analysis of 134 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: neonatal deaths in the first twenty eight days found this 135 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: pattern of one hundred and forty five excess deaths on 136 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: the period right after the post policy. So basically, these 137 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: women are walking coffins. They are being forced to carry 138 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 1: babies that have a very high likelihood of dying, and 139 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 1: then they are delivering these babies only to have them die. 140 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of anti choicers will say 141 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: that the quote unquote life of an egg plus the 142 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: sperm of a five celled blasticist is the same as 143 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: the life of a fully developed baby. But that's bullshit, 144 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: and we know it, and I know what it's like 145 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: to carry a child, and I think it's really just 146 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: so fucked up that this new law is basically making 147 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: so women have to carry babies they know are gonna die, 148 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: birth that baby, take care of that baby until it dies. 149 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: It just is completely insane and in any other country 150 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: this would not be happening, and so I just it's just. 151 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: Appalling so I wanted to talk about it. 152 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: Charlie Sikes is the author of the newsletter to the 153 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: Contrary and the book How the Right Lost Its Mind 154 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: Welcome Back, Too Fast Politics. Charlie Sykes, how are you? 155 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: I'm okay. I feel like you're asking me. 156 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: This because my first cousin has been tweeting about me 157 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: all day. 158 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: Is that why? Or is there another reason? 159 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 6: It was sad?

Somebody tweeted out, you know, Hillary 190 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 6: Clinton was criticized for not campaigning in Wisconsin, and now 191 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 6: Kamala is being criticized for coming in campaigning in Wisconsin 192 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 6: as opposed to going to a white tied dinner in 193 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 6: New York where the Catholic Church be clowned itself. 194 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: You know, as a Jew, I try to stay out 195 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: of that kind of thing. But it did seem bad. 196 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 6: It was very bad.

There are a few people that I 200 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 6: like and respect more than Cardinal Dolan. And so it 201 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 6: was so humiliar and embarrassing to watch him sitting there 202 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 6: as Donald Trump told one offensively, deeply unfunny joke after another. 203 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 6: And I'm sorry to use the word normalization again, but 204 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 6: pull back for a second.

And that was what I 233 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: heard from Barbara Comstock. And also I think everything you 234 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: just said is so right and for religious people, but 235 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: it also does feel like it's sort of it's got 236 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: this kind of tittin pot dictator thing. 237 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 6: It was this bizarre kabuki theater. Jonathan Last has a 238 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 6: piece in the bulwark, because you know, against kabuki normality, 239 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 6: Trump weaponizes democracy's traditions against it. Absolutely right. And I'm 240 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 6: looking at this picture. There's Cardinal Dolan, and again this 241 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 6: is somebody that I know very well standing next to 242 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 6: Donald Trump with his fist up in the air, and 243 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 6: it's just it's a pathetic moment. It's a pathetic moment. 244 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 6: It feels like a beat, just a betrayal of fundamental values. 245 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 6: Cardinal Dolan is a serious person. Okay, he's first of all, 246 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 6: he's an incredibly decent person. I'm sorry to go off 247 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 6: on it, but I remember sitting with him doing an 248 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 6: interview in the Before Times. This was during the Obama presidency, 249 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 6: and he was about to go to New York and 250 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 6: he said, one of the most important things is for 251 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 6: the church to stay true to its principles and its beliefs, 252 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 6: no matter what the cause. And so for example, he said, 253 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 6: if in fact, the federal government ever required us to 254 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,359 Speaker 6: perform abortions, we would shut down all of the Catholics before. 255 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: We would do that. 256 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 6: And I said, you would shut down the hospitals. I 257 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 6: said yes, because you know, our mission and our principles 258 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 6: are so important and there he is, standing next to 259 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 6: Donald fucking Trump. 260 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, there he is. 261 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: It's funny because one of the people from Trump World, 262 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: who's sort of fallen out of favor, was saying to 263 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: me Trump would never be an abortion First of all, 264 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: again he already has, but sure, he was like, it's 265 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: too much something that they think of as something they 266 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: can do. 267 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: You know, they need to be able to do. 268 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, at least they need to say it. So 269 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 6: you're going to give me some some good news out 270 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 6: of Pennsylvania. 271 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, it's nine days of early voting in Pennsylvania, 272 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: seven hundred and ninety one thousand, eight hundred and four 273 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: votes Cats forty eight percent Democrat, forty percent GOP thirty 274 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: four zero point one percent independent.

But there does seem 304 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 6: to be this sort of psychological warfare trying to make 305 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 6: everyone lose their minds by coming up with these completely 306 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 6: bogus predictions and models that mean nothing, that tell you nothing, 307 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 6: and just fuck with your head. 308 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. 309 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: I also would add that, you know, all of the 310 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: sort of evidence we have that supports Trump right now 311 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: is a lot of poles. 312 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: Right. 313 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: We don't have any other sort of thing that shows 314 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: a Trump advantage. 315 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 6: Right, No, there's nothing tangible in fact, the tangible stuff 316 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 6: or of the numbers you just mentioned. And there have 317 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 6: been a number of reports about the status of the 318 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 6: ground games between the Democrats and Republicans, and I have 319 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 6: to tell you that you know, what I'm hearing out 320 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 6: of Pennsylvania and Michigan is exactly what's happening here in Wisconsin, where, 321 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 6: for whatever reason, the Democrats have a tremendous edge when 322 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 6: it comes to that get out the vote ground game. 323 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 6: Now again, will it make a difference, we don't know, 324 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 6: But in a toss up election, you know, in a 325 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 6: jump ball election, that could make all the difference. And 326 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 6: I will tell you that the difference in terms of 327 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 6: just the granular campaign operations is really one of the 328 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 6: stories of twenty twenty four. 329 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: I hope, yes, it's funny because I was getting booked 330 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: for Election Day TV and I was thinking about you 331 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: going to France. I was like, it's so smart to 332 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: go to France. But yeah, I think that's totally right. 333 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: And again, we don't know what's happening on the ground, 334 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: but we're certainly seeing. And the thing I was struck 335 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: by was Harris did, in fact go this week on 336 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: Fox News with Brett Baher Walls has been on Fox Sunday. 337 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: Two weeks in a row, so it's not as if. 338 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: There isn't some president for this, but I was still 339 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: pretty surprised. 340 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 6: It was a big surprise. It was a high risk, 341 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 6: high reward move on her part. And so talk about 342 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 6: how the way the narrative has changed, because remember when 343 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 6: everybody was pounding on her, you know, why are they 344 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 6: hiding her? Why isn't she doing these interviews? Well, she's 345 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 6: doing a lot of interviews, and I don't know whether 346 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 6: you've noticed, but she's getting better at it too. 347 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: Yes much. 348 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 6: Meanwhile, Donald Trump is really going back into the bunker. 349 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 6: I mean it's really kind of amazing. I mean, you 350 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 6: run through the list of all of the interviews that 351 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 6: he's either bailed out of or refused sixty minutes, the 352 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 6: CNN Debate, the CNBC News interview, an NBC News interview 353 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 6: with Christine Romans, this NRA rally in Georgia for the 354 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 6: Second Amendment, which he just bailed on, I mean, one 355 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 6: after another, and apparently there are reports that he's bailing 356 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 6: on some of these interviews because he's just exhausted. 357 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 2: He's worn out, Yeah, and low energy. 358 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 6: Well, and after his performance in that Bloomberg interview, which 359 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 6: was absolutely just you know, a face plant incoherent ramble 360 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 6: where and he was clearly very unhappy that he was there, 361 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 6: It is interesting. So you kind of get a sense 362 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 6: that she's getting a certain she's getting, you know, a 363 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 6: certain momentum. She had some really good one liners yesterday 364 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 6: in Lacrosse, Wisconsin for some hecklers. She said, I think 365 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 6: you're at the wrong rally. I think you meant to 366 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 6: go to the smaller. 367 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: One another road. Yeah, that was very good. 368 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 6: Whereas he's getting worse and worse and worse, and his 369 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 6: aides are i think, trying to shove him back into 370 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 6: the basement. 371 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and with good reason. When we saw him 372 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: on the Kurby couch today. 373 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: He was not covering himself with glory at the Bloomberg 374 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: interview was really embarrassing and he kind of got over 375 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: his skis and then he was like, I looked you 376 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: up and you're a Trump hater. I could have not 377 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: calm here today. I think it's tough. And again, this 378 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: is the irony of this entire campaign, right, he ran 379 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: for so long on Biden's age. 380 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: This guy is fucking old. 381 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 6: Yes he is. And I say that as somebody who's 382 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 6: much older than you that to think about it, that 383 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 6: this is the oldest man ever to run for president 384 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 6: at this point, and his aide and we're getting reports 385 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 6: that he's too exhausted to do interviews and he's wearing out. Now, 386 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 6: what's interesting is that he's come up with a way 387 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 6: to explain the fact that he can't put together a 388 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 6: coherent thought. He calls it the weave. This is the weave, 389 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 6: and everybody else is going, what are you talking about, man? 390 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 6: What unripened bananas are firing off in your prefrontal cortex. 391 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 6: I mean, it's just terrible. Yeah, and yet it's not 392 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 6: getting nearly the kind of handwringing obsessiveness that was aimed 393 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 6: at Joe Biden. Now I happen to think it was 394 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 6: justifiable now in retrospect to aim it at Joe Biden. 395 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 6: But if that is the big overriding issue of the 396 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 6: twenty twenty four campaign about the fitness of Joe Biden, 397 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 6: is cognitive decline, alleged cognitive decline. Why is there not 398 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 6: the same Oh my god, what's happening to Donald Trump? 399 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: And why is that It's obviously part of some ship, 400 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: right or is there some other thing I'm missing here? 401 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 6: I think that again, the media continues to not know 402 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 6: how to cover Donald Trump. I think that there's a 403 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 6: certain exhaustion, a certain Okay, it's no one cares, nothing 404 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 6: makes any difference. The Republican Party is not going to 405 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 6: replace Donald Trump. And with Donald Trump after nine years, 406 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 6: no matter how outrageous he is, there's kind of that 407 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 6: thing in the back of your mind where you go 408 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 6: there he goes again, or right, this is who the 409 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 6: same old, same old, when in fact it's getting worse 410 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 6: and worse and more alarming and more alarming. So at 411 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 6: the very moment when the alarm should be getting louder 412 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 6: and the flairs should be getting brighter. There's still that 413 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 6: sort of let's just go through the motions of pretending 414 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 6: this is a normal election, as I'm sorry to say 415 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 6: my good friend Cardinal Dolan and the Cat Church did 416 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 6: in New York last night. 417 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 418 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: I think there's also just a fair amount of hedging 419 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: from people like Cardinal Dolan, right, that maybe this guy 420 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: will win and he's going to have to just suck 421 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: up to him. 422 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: Right. 423 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 6: There's a fantastic piece that your listeners really ought to 424 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 6: look up by Susan Glasser in The New Yorker where 425 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 6: she talks about why are all the billionaires falling into 426 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 6: line behind Donald Trump? And many of these billionaires had 427 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 6: bailed on him after January sixth, regard him as a horrible, 428 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 6: odious person. She quotes them my name, And yet they've 429 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 6: kind of figured, well, you know he's going to be 430 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 6: elected president. Why fall on our swords. Let's go along 431 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 6: with it because he's transactional and how bad can it be? Right? 432 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 6: And you want to talk about historical analogies where the 433 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 6: industrialists thought that they could work and contain or moderate 434 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 6: the extremist in power. Hasn't worked in the past, but 435 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 6: you never know. Yeah, billionaires always have tremendous confidence in 436 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 6: their own abilities, don't they. 437 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: So the state of Pennsylvania is getting two white men 438 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: who are very fancy and ivy League educated for the 439 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: next five days, jd Vance and Elon Musk. I mean, 440 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: is this a good play for Pennsylvania voters? Like remember 441 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: Jade Vance ran twenty points twenty points behind Dwine in 442 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: his Senate candidacy and he got money poured into it. 443 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 6: By Peter Keel. No, it is interesting. So the Elon 444 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 6: Musk thing is you know, I mean, this is you know, 445 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 6: Trump really worships Elon Muska. He had an event in 446 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 6: Pennsylvania where he was basically costplaying a presidential candidate himself, 447 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 6: and it was really a disturbing glimpse into what's happened 448 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 6: to the mind of Elon Musk, where he's actually pushing 449 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 6: the conspiracy theories about dominion voting systems. By the way, 450 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 6: a company that has kind of an interesting track record 451 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 6: of being litigious when they're lying about Yes. So, I 452 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 6: don't know, I mean, there's there's there's a certain class 453 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 6: of people that will be attracted to the wealth and 454 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 6: the celebrity of Elon Musk. But I'm guessing that they 455 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 6: were already in Trump's camp. Meanwhile, you have Kamala Harris, 456 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 6: who is rolling out Barack Obama. I'm Michelle Obama there campaigning. 457 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 6: I see that Bill Clinton is campaigning in North Carolina. 458 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 6: And one of the most remarkable stories of this campaign 459 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 6: that you and I have talked about before, the Harris 460 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 6: campaign is really quite serious in reaching out to disaffected Republicans. 461 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 6: Haley voters, big big event in Pennsylvania. Yeah, she's coming back, 462 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 6: or at least scheduled to come back to Wisconsin next 463 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 6: week with Liz Cheney going for that sliver of votes. 464 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 6: Those Republicans who look at Donald Trump and go, no, 465 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 6: I just can't do that. It's just not worth it. 466 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's you too, right, that's me. 467 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 6: You know, this is very different than four years ago. 468 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 6: I think four years ago there was a we don't 469 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 6: need you former Republicans. Now it's like, no, those people 470 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 6: who voted for Nicki Haley in the primary, who are 471 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 6: looking at Mike Penn saying I'm not voting for this guy, 472 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 6: or listening to somebody like General Millie who says this 473 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 6: guy is a total fascist. I mean, there's some sort 474 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 6: of moment here, you know, Molly, where you have the 475 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 6: top general in the United States, former top general saying, 476 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 6: this is the most dangerous man that we've ever had 477 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 6: in this office. He's a total fascist. Attention ought to 478 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 6: be paid, an attention ought to be paid by people 479 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 6: who would normally always pull the lever next to the 480 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 6: R guy. By I'm dating myself because we don't pull 481 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 6: levers anymore, do we do we? 482 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: I think there's some lever pulling, but not in quite 483 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: the same way. 484 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm in it to be paid. Yes, very true. 485 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 6: So the Harris campaign is quite serious about this reaching 486 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 6: out to these voters. And I have to say that 487 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 6: with every single Republican that comes out in favor of her, 488 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 6: it becomes easier. So you have Charlie Dent from Pennsylvania 489 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 6: form a Republican congressman. I mean, the list is getting 490 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 6: longer and longer. And I have to say that if 491 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 6: you would have asked me six months ago, would those 492 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 6: disaffected Republicans feel comfortab with Kamala Harris, I would would have. 493 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 6: I wouldn't know.

Senator Chuck Schumer is 512 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: the Majority Leader and senior Senator from the great state 513 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: of New York. Welcome back to Fast Politics, Senator Chuck Schuber. 514 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 7: Molly, it's good to be back. Thanks for all the 515 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 7: good work you've been doing and are continuing to do. 516 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: You're the best. 517 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. 518 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: So let's go and talk about the Senate races. The map, 519 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: it's not a good map, but there's a lot of 520 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: interesting stuff. So do you want to start by talking 521 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: about Pennsylvania. 522 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 7: Sure, well, let me just before we start intoe each 523 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 7: state how important it is for us to keep the Senate. 524 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 7: If Trump is elected president, God forbid, but he will. 525 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 7: Then if they have the Senate, my guess is that 526 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 7: you'll see resignations of people like I've heard this in 527 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 7: some right wing journals, right resignations of some of our 528 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 7: Supreme Court justices for much older, and they'll fill them 529 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 7: up with right wing the people who are in their thirties. 530 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 7: And if Kanalla wins, and I hope and believe she will, 531 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 7: but if they have the Senate, they'll block everything she does. 532 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 7: So keeping the Democratic Senate is great. And the good 533 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 7: news is, even though we have a very tough map, 534 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 7: we are doing well in race after race after race 535 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 7: because our candidates are really in touch with people. They 536 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 7: know what people want. McConnell and the Republicans have run 537 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 7: a lot of very you know, wealthy billionaires, but who 538 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 7: really don't know the state and don't care about people. 539 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 7: So we're in good shape to keep the Senate. We're 540 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 7: feeling you know, it's it's tough, it's close. It's hand 541 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 7: to hand combat, if you will. But we're doing well 542 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 7: and I'm going to go over a few of the states. 543 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 3: First. 544 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 7: We have a chance to win Texas and send Ted 545 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 7: Cruz back home. When the people of Texas are asked, 546 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 7: what is the word that they most associate that comes 547 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 7: to mind when they hear the name Ted Cruz, you 548 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 7: know what they say, can cool? Do you remember during 549 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 7: the deep freeze in Texas when there is no electricity 550 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 7: it was ten degrees he was on our way to 551 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 7: Kancu and having a nice vacation. They remember it. More importantly, 552 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 7: he is one of the most partisan, nasty, anti partisan 553 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 7: people that they've ever had in the Senate. Here's what 554 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 7: Lindsey Graham one said. You know, if Ted were found 555 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 7: dead on the Senate floor, there'd be ninety nine suspects. 556 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 3: That was a joke, but. 557 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 7: It shows you how disliked he is, even by his 558 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 7: Republican colleagues. And we have a great can today. His 559 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 7: name is Colin Allread. He was elected president of the 560 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 7: class of twenty eighteen won and beaten at the Republican 561 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 7: sessions in a Republican district, and he's very popular. And 562 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 7: one of the best things he has going for him 563 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 7: is he's a football player. He played for the Houston 564 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 7: Oilers and even more importantly paid for Baylor. That's the 565 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 7: big evangelical university in Texas, and so the evangelicals a 566 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 7: lot of them know him and like him, even though 567 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 7: they usually. 568 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 3: Don't vote for us. 569 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 7: That and if we pick up that seat, it helps 570 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 7: ensure we keep the Senate even if we were to 571 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 7: lose a seat, which I don't think we will and 572 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 7: I hope we won't. 573 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: The mansion set, I think is probably gone. 574 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 7: That seat is gone. So we can't afford to lose 575 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 7: any other of our existing seats less we pick up 576 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 7: a seat and beat a Republican and this is a 577 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 7: prime area. Another place where we have to keep the 578 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 7: seat is Bob Casey over in Pennsylvania. Casey tends to 579 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 7: his state so carefully, but he also really cares about kids. 580 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 7: He was one of the main leaders for the Child 581 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 7: Tax Credit, which took half the kids in America out 582 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 7: of poverty during COVID. He realizes the struggles of the 583 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 7: middle class. And he's also talked about how so many 584 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 7: of the companies that sell consumer goods take advantage of 585 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 7: consumers by charging the same price and then shrinking what's 586 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 7: in the package. You know, cookies instead of twelve but 587 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 7: they charge you the same price. A loaf of bread 588 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 7: there's twelve ounces instead of sixteen, they charge of the price. 589 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 7: So he's great. 590 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: Shrink flation. 591 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 7: Shrink flation, you got it, That's what he called it. 592 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 7: Tammy Baldwin over in Wisconisin has been a leader in 593 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 7: getting manufacturing back to America. She was the lead in 594 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 7: passing marriage equality. Personally matters to me. My daughter's married 595 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 7: to a beautiful young lady, but she's a dynamic, hard 596 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 7: working person and she needs help. Shareed Brown. I don't 597 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 7: think there's anybody who helps working people more than share It. 598 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 7: I'll win so many millions and millions of union members. 599 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 7: We're going to lose their pensions because the bankers had 600 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 7: invested them poorly and they lost money, and they said, 601 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 7: you got tough luck. Shared worked with me and we 602 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 7: got all these pensions restored. I remember being near Buffalo 603 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 7: and the big guy with a very strong looking man 604 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 7: with tattoos and everything else came over to me and 605 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 7: start crying, and he said, I'm going to I just 606 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 7: heard I'm going to lose ninety percent of my pension. 607 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 7: He says, I don't care about me. I'll take care 608 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 7: of myself, but that pension, my parents and my kids 609 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 7: depend on it. Well, shared worked hard to get it back. 610 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 7: And Alissa Slotkin is in Michigan. She's taking the seat 611 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 7: of Debbie stabanaw trying to take the seat of Debbie 612 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 7: Stabinau who not running again. And Slotkin is one of 613 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 7: our experts on foreign policy. She actually worked in the CIA, 614 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 7: she worked in other places. She's a good, strong progressive 615 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 7: voice on foreign policy. So when your people need help, 616 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,239 Speaker 7: when your people ask, these are five races that are 617 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 7: close where people sending in their contributions would make a 618 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 7: huge difference and help us keep the Senate, which, as 619 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 7: I mentioned earlier, is so important to America. 620 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: So let's talk about Tester the Montana Center race. 621 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 7: You know, no one's done more for Montana than Tester. 622 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 7: The opponent to radagainst him, Well, he says he's a 623 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 7: cattle rancher in Montana, but knows she he is. His name. 624 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 7: The amazing thing about it and he has a bullet 625 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 7: in his arm. He was a veteran, and people I 626 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 7: respect that. I think we respect that he was a veteran. 627 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 7: But he said he got the bullet in his arm 628 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 7: fighting in Iraq, protecting his soldiers. It's not true, as 629 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 7: the Army record show. He got the bullet in himself 630 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,479 Speaker 7: hiking get this molly hiking in the National Park and 631 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 7: he accidentally shot himself, and he denied it when that 632 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 7: first came out, but we got the park ranger records 633 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 7: sure enough, that's what happened. So this guy's not a 634 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 7: straight shooter. He's not really a Montana and tester knows 635 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 7: and breathes Montana. He's been trying to prevent foreign companies 636 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 7: from buying up land. He's gone after the monopoly, the 637 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 7: oligopoly on cattle, you know, on meat packing, because that 638 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 7: hurts the farmers of Montana. And he worked hard. And 639 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 7: you know a lot of the kids graduate from college 640 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 7: in Montana and they don't know what they're going to do. 641 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 7: It's stuff to find a job. He helped make Missoula, Montana, 642 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 7: one of the first tech hubs in America. We passed 643 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 7: a law on the Chips and Science Bill that said, 644 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 7: the tech business shouldn't just be in New York, in 645 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 7: San Francisco and Boston, you know, to be in some 646 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 7: of the smaller cities. And Missoula got the biggest tech 647 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 7: in the country. So that's all helping us win because 648 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 7: our candidates, including John Tester, have done so much for people. 649 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 7: We have a very good ground game. It's a large 650 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 7: Native American population. This guy sheehe against Tester, he said 651 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 7: more or less, he said, two weeks ago, Oh, Indians, 652 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 7: they wake up at LA eight am. Drug that infuriated 653 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 7: the Native American community. So they're rallying for Tester as well. 654 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: Can you talk to me about someone like Dan Osborne, 655 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: who he's a Democrat or he is an independent, but 656 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: he's really a Democrat. 657 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 7: Well, he hasn't told us he's really a Democrat. He's 658 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 7: running his own independent campaign, but he's neck and neck 659 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 7: in the polls with deb Fisher, the incumbent. He's a 660 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 7: little bit like John Fetterman. I remember him, he's now 661 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 7: in the Senate. You know, he's an individualist. He's running 662 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 7: as an independent, but I sure think that he's you know, 663 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 7: he really getting lights by the people of Nebrasko he 664 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 7: is not a Democrat, but. 665 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: He's sort of picked this way to run. That's a 666 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: little bit unusual. But he is in a very red state. 667 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's in a red state. But he's talking about 668 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 7: his independence, and Nebraska has always shown an independent streak. 669 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 7: They had a Republican named George Norris who is one 670 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 7: of the leaders in the New Deal and broke with 671 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 7: his party to help Rosto to the New Deal. 672 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I also think Nebraska's second district where Republicans 673 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: tried to take away their electoral college point. You have 674 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: to assume they're mad about that. 675 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 7: They are, and there was a very courageous state senator 676 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 7: who said, I'm not going to let that happen just 677 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 7: for these partisan purposes. And yes, it's aroused people. We'll 678 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 7: see what happens. Not involved in this that race. He 679 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 7: wants to stay. It's an independent and God bless him. 680 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: Though not old, you are experienced and you have been 681 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,240 Speaker 1: through a number of election cycles. This in my mind, 682 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: feels to be one of the most high stakes I've 683 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: ever lived through. 684 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 7: Absolutely. You know, if people think they have nothing at stake, 685 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 7: wait till Donald becomes president and helps his wealthy friends, 686 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 7: does nothing to help working people. Sides with the powerful 687 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 7: interests agains stablished working people. People will regret not voting 688 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 7: if they stayed home or God forbid voting for Trump. 689 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 7: So we're on Treymali and thank you for putting me 690 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 7: on your nice podcast. 691 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,720 Speaker 1: Do you think that Speaker Johnson should bring the house 692 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: back for more FEMA money? 693 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 7: He said he's not. We Democrats pushed for more FEMA 694 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 7: money in the September budget resolution that we had many 695 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 7: of the Republicans blocked it.

Let me just say 735 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 5: that issue has torn our country apart for fifty two years. 736 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 5: No legal scholar, no Democrat, Republican, no liberal Conservatives wanted 737 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 5: it to be in Congress. They wanted it to be 738 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 5: out of the federal government.
