Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Central's America's only
Speaker 2: sorts for news, This is the Daily Joke.
Speaker 3: With your host, Jordan Clapper.
Speaker 4: Jordan the guy.
Speaker 3: We got so much to talk about tonight because Donald
Speaker 3: Trump spent the week in the Middle East as part
Speaker 3: of his Dictator Study Abroad program. But you know what,
Speaker 3: today was his last day. So let's see how it
Speaker 3: all came together with another installment of Trump meets.
Speaker 2: World international humiliation one after another.
Speaker 3: Oh, this morning, Donald Trump said goodbye to Cutter, but
Speaker 3: not before making her appearance an American military base where
Speaker 3: he sasheed for the soldiers. Oh look at that. That's sexy, right, Oh,
Speaker 3: that's sexy. Yeah. Show the boys what we're fighting for
Speaker 3: over there, right, sexy baby. And of course, Trump once
Speaker 3: again was serenaded in person by proud to be an
Speaker 3: American singer Lee Greenwood, which begs the question did Donald
Speaker 3: Trump kidnap Lee Greenwood? I mean, I get having him
Speaker 3: singing a campaign rally, but dragging him all the way
Speaker 3: to Cutter? Is Greenwood like that mad Max guitarist you know?
Speaker 3: Is he just chained to Trump's podium at this point, Lee, Lee, Lee,
Speaker 3: are you being held against your will? If you are,
Speaker 3: give us a sign struggle to hit the high note?
Speaker 1: But near me, no Dowd.
Speaker 5: I love this.
Speaker 3: God he needs help, Oh God, oh God. Someone call
Speaker 3: him Nason or mel Gibson. Probably he'll do it. Yes. Anyway.
Speaker 3: After blueballing our troops, Trump was off to the United
Speaker 3: Arab Emirates, the country Americans always click on accidentally on
Speaker 3: the drop down menu. Okay, remember when we used to
Speaker 3: be h at the top all the time. You know
Speaker 3: what you want to win?
Speaker 1: My vote?
Speaker 3: Make that your campaign promise America first on the dropdown menu.
Speaker 3: I'll vote for that every time. And that's been discussed,
Speaker 3: been discussing all week. Trump has been receiving a huge
Speaker 3: welcome at each stop on this tour. Saudi Arabia gave
Speaker 3: him a horse guard, counter gave him horses and camels
Speaker 3: and a sword dancing ceremony. U A, you got a
Speaker 3: lot to live.
Speaker 6: Up to show us what you got.
Speaker 3: A group auditioned for a panteene commercial. Is that a threat?
Speaker 3: Work with us or we'll clog your drains. Look, look,
Speaker 3: this wasn't a sightseeing Trump was there to talk business.
Speaker 3: So the main event of the day. It was a
Speaker 3: roundtable with some of America's top defense contractors. A chance
Speaker 3: for Trump to be focused on selling American goods. So
Speaker 3: make that sales pitch and bring it home.
Speaker 2: We're coming up with a new system of drones, because
Speaker 2: drones are really if you look at the war that's
Speaker 2: going on, it's horrible when you look at what's happening
Speaker 2: with Russia and Ukraine. The drone is killing tremendous numbers
Speaker 2: of people. You hide behind the tree and the drone
Speaker 2: comes down and it circles you with fire. You don't
Speaker 2: have a chance. Tree comes down. Also, by the way,
Speaker 2: it's so intense to I mean, you see these trees
Speaker 2: being knocked down, like like they're being sawed down by
Speaker 2: a top of the line Timberman, Like like you know
Speaker 2: who Sean Duffy.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, uh okay, this is about drones. Uh we're
Speaker 3: getting it off track here, not about trees or the Timberman.
Speaker 3: So let's let's get back to the roads and forget
Speaker 3: about Sean Duffy.
Speaker 2: Do you know that Sean Duffy, the head of the
Speaker 2: Transportation Department, who's working right now in the airports and
Speaker 2: getting a system because Biden didn't do a thing for
Speaker 2: four years.
Speaker 3: Okay, airports, Joe Biden, Oh shit, I know what's about
Speaker 3: to happen. Everyone, stay calm. We're entering a weave. A
Speaker 3: buggle up everyone, the and it's been up for four days.
Speaker 3: This is a jet lag weave. All right, this could
Speaker 3: get bumpy.
Speaker 2: Biden didn't do a thing for four years and Pete
Speaker 2: Buddhadi was the head and he goes bicycle into work.
Speaker 2: He takes a bicycle to work. Can you believe he's
Speaker 2: running the biggest air system in the world and he
Speaker 2: takes a bicycle to work.
Speaker 3: So Pete Buddahjudt should have taken a plane to work?
Speaker 3: Is that what I'm overthinking it? I'm overthinking It's a weave.
Speaker 3: You got to steer into the spin.
Speaker 2: And they say he's going to run for president. I
Speaker 2: don't see it. Who knows, right, but I don't see it.
Speaker 3: Have you ever been in a corn maze and you
Speaker 3: just can't find your way out? Okay? Yeah, ok, Buddha
Speaker 3: Judge for president? I mean, who knows? Probably not worth
Speaker 3: speculating about with a bunch of Middle East businessmen. Can
Speaker 3: we just get back to what we were talking about.
Speaker 2: What people don't know about Sean because I mentioned lumberjacks.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no, Noe wasn't about lumberjacks.
Speaker 3: Not about lumberjacks. Okay, you were talking about drones. Forget
Speaker 3: about the lumberjacks.
Speaker 2: I mentioned lumberjacks. That, Sean, you probably didn't know this.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about this, Jean. This, Shawn, note not,
Speaker 2: this is not. This is a different show. Sean Duffy
Speaker 2: the head of transportation. He's a great Shawn though. I
Speaker 2: have to tell you he's a great Sean.
Speaker 3: We're just ranking Seawan's. Now you got Sean Hannaday, Sean Spiccer,
Speaker 3: set of the Net, Sean the rhymes. At this point,
Speaker 3: everyone in the room was probably like, can we just
Speaker 3: give you our bribe and go home? It's the president.
Speaker 3: Look though, no believe no, I believe.
Speaker 1: I believe.
Speaker 3: I believe it's the president. I believe in you. You
Speaker 3: can find your way back to the drones. Take us home, Donny.
Speaker 2: He's a great Shawn though. I have to tell you,
Speaker 2: but Sean Duffy was the world champion for five years,
Speaker 2: climbing trees and down up in that world champion. So
Speaker 2: that's what you call a serious lumber He's doing a
Speaker 2: fantastic job to a really respected guy and terrific the champion,
Speaker 2: because when somebody is a champion, he's a world chair.
Speaker 2: Long time he came down. When you come down those
Speaker 2: trees coming down at a rapid he said, that started
Speaker 2: getting you often break your back, you miss a you
Speaker 2: miss a shot, and you're coming faster than the human
Speaker 2: body was meant to come down. But he's doing a
Speaker 2: fantastic job at transportation.
Speaker 3: Look at those faces. This man right here is a
Speaker 3: Bowie executive. His planes fall out of the sky and
Speaker 3: he's sitting here like now, this is a fine disaster.
Speaker 3: Can you can you imagine the translator at this event
Speaker 3: listening to all of this shit, like.
Speaker 7: He said, he loves it here all right, So okay,
Speaker 7: just to recap here, all right, what do we have?
Speaker 3: So we went from drones to lumberjacks, to Sean Duffy
Speaker 3: to Pete Buddha Jedge, back to Sean Duffy as a
Speaker 3: sexy lumberjack. And I won't play the rest for you
Speaker 3: because he went on for thirteen more minutes with mentions
Speaker 3: and this is all true of the stock market. He
Speaker 3: got into there for a little bit Lee Greenwood obviously,
Speaker 3: and how the twenty twenty election was rigged. And in
Speaker 3: case you're wondering, when he weaved his way back to
Speaker 3: the drones, he never fucking did, never never get that
Speaker 3: Leader of the Free World. Everyone. Huh. So that was
Speaker 3: the end of President Trump's visit to the Middle East.
Speaker 3: The question is, after visiting three countries in four days,
Speaker 3: did the whole thing yield any results? To find out,
Speaker 3: Let's go live to the United Arab Emirates with Josh
Speaker 3: Johnson's Oslama Lacam Jordan. Okay, what was your takeaway, Josh
Speaker 3: from the trip? It seemed like kind of a business
Speaker 3: as usual for Trump.
Speaker 8: What are you talking about? This is a life changing
Speaker 8: trip for Trump. Don't forget this guy used to hate Muslims.
Speaker 8: He tried to ban them from the country. He called
Speaker 8: President Obama brock who's sang? And he capitalized every letter
Speaker 8: and who's sang, screaming it with his thumbs.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean he seemed to not like Muslims.
Speaker 8: Not like he didn't know the differs between guitars, Saudi
Speaker 8: Arabia and the UAE. He called them little ices, big ices,
Speaker 8: and ices Tokyo drifts. But then he visited their lands
Speaker 8: and they showed him their culture, and they taught him
Speaker 8: their history, and.
Speaker 3: Then they gave him a four hundred million dollar jet.
Speaker 3: And it was something about all of that that now
Speaker 3: he loves Muslims. It's beautiful. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 3: it was all of that, it might might just be
Speaker 3: the free jets.
Speaker 8: You cynical son of a bitch. Why can't you believe
Speaker 8: in something beautiful?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 8: Point is that Trump is changing. It doesn't matter why.
Speaker 8: If I'm being honest, I can relate. When I first
Speaker 8: started at the Daily Show, I didn't really white people
Speaker 8: like that. But then one day one of my white
Speaker 8: coworkers started leaving me free yogurt in the fridge, and
Speaker 8: I realized white people weren't devils.
Speaker 3: They were people.
Speaker 1: Who gave me free yogurts.
Speaker 3: Wait, that's you who keeps taking my yogurts.
Speaker 8: A lot of white people put klepper on their yogurt.
Speaker 1: Clepper.
Speaker 8: Out of the point is that people can change. Trump
Speaker 8: is living by Martin Luther King's dream judge people not
Speaker 8: by the color of their skin, but the contents of
Speaker 8: their wallets.
Speaker 3: Okay, Josh I hate to be that guy, but I
Speaker 3: don't think you're remembering black history correctly.
Speaker 5: Wow wow, oh okay.
Speaker 8: I can't believe you're white explaining Black history to me
Speaker 8: during Black History Month.
Speaker 3: It's not Black History Month, Josha.
Speaker 5: How dare you you know? I was right before you
Speaker 5: are a raging bigot, more like Jordan who sang it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? What if I gave you a yogurt? I appreciate
Speaker 3: your culture. Thank you very much, Josh Johnson, Everybody, we
Speaker 3: come back. Roddy Chang love seafood too much?
Speaker 4: Don't go away, Welcome back to the Daily Shop.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of good causes you can donate your
Speaker 3: money too, But what about confusing causes? Rodny Chang discovered one.
Speaker 3: There's nothing I'm more passionate about. They're donating to charity.
Speaker 1: Hey, do you want to say the environ?
Speaker 9: No? And I'm not the only softy outfit three billion
Speaker 9: people in your armory? Shut up, man, talk about charity here,
Speaker 9: donate that time and money, but for doing.
Speaker 3: Goodness like myself.
Speaker 9: How do you pick between so many deserving causes? Me?
Speaker 9: Finance bro term philanthropists Andreas her menez Zoia.
Speaker 1: I was working in investment banking.
Speaker 10: My wife was helping refugees, and I saw how meaningful
Speaker 10: her work was, and I decided to do the same.
Speaker 9: Oh, so you're helping refugees, Well.
Speaker 10: Not quite, I'm helping shrimp the Shrimp Welfare Project.
Speaker 6: What do you care about shrimp?
Speaker 3: Shrimp?
Speaker 10: Well, there's a lot of evidence that they can feel
Speaker 10: stress and pain.
Speaker 9: So you decided to dedicate all your time and money
Speaker 9: into saving the lives of shrimp.
Speaker 10: Not quite. We're actually working to reduce the suffering when
Speaker 10: they die.
Speaker 9: So after all your work is done, they still.
Speaker 10: Die, yes, less painfully.
Speaker 9: How did you make this even stupid?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 9: The Strimp Welfare Project is a charity improving the lives
Speaker 9: of appetizers.
Speaker 10: We make sure that they have a more humane slaughter method.
Speaker 10: We try to avoid overcrowding. We try to eliminate ice pocuplation,
Speaker 10: which is this practice of cutting or crushing of the
Speaker 10: eyes of female shrimp. There is technology that alleviates suffering
Speaker 10: by the billions every year, like what like electrical stunning
Speaker 10: that renders animals unconscious and then they die but without
Speaker 10: feeling any pain.
Speaker 9: Okay, so you're electrocuting shrimp that's right.
Speaker 3: This is a sex thing, right, This is a key thing.
Speaker 3: This is something you just No, it's not a sex thing.
Speaker 9: Sure, this doesn't sound like the charity pictures I'm used to.
Speaker 9: It's all part of a new movement called effective altruism.
Speaker 11: Effect of altruism is a way of looking at ethics
Speaker 11: as a big math problem.
Speaker 3: And that's bad.
Speaker 11: I think it's bad because I don't think that you
Speaker 11: can actually do ethics like math, because there's not just
Speaker 11: a bunch of things that you can put numbers on.
Speaker 11: There's a bunch of different kinds of values that are
Speaker 11: all in the mix.
Speaker 9: Okay, please don't be offended by this. Are you just
Speaker 9: saying this because you're bad at math?
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 9: Effective altruisms are like the Young Sheldons of the charity world,
Speaker 9: using logic to find the most cost efficient ways to
Speaker 9: relieve suffering, which sometimes means malaria prevention, but other times
Speaker 9: it leads to.
Speaker 10: This, with a single dollar, we can improve the lives
Speaker 10: of over two thousand shrimp and zero humans.
Speaker 9: That is correct, But the philosophy of effective altruism pretty
Speaker 9: much boils down to this your feelings.
Speaker 10: Traditionally, philanthropy has focused on what feels warm and fussy,
Speaker 10: and shrimp are not very relatable.
Speaker 9: They look like shit, and traditional charities make us feel
Speaker 9: like what helping? But the math doesn't always add up.
Speaker 9: Where's all that AFPCA money going?
Speaker 3: Sarah mcgonglin's Third Summer House.
Speaker 11: I think it's also good to look at charities, and
Speaker 11: that's the question, how much of the money that you
Speaker 11: get are you actually using to make the world a
Speaker 11: better places. But I don't think that there's anything wrong
Speaker 11: with giving to stuff that is right in my backyard
Speaker 11: and that I care about and have like an emotional relationship,
Speaker 11: you know, like places that I love or species that
Speaker 11: I love.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 9: So for shrimp, shrimp, Yeah, the Shrimp Welfare Project is
Speaker 9: a stupid effective altruism charity that focuses on electric cuting shrimp.
Speaker 3: And they don't put their eyes out.
Speaker 1: I see.
Speaker 6: They still kill shrimp by the Trillians.
Speaker 1: They just suffer a.
Speaker 11: Bit less, Okay, I mean honestly, like, if it does
Speaker 11: make shrimp feel less pain, then hey, that's great, it's interesting.
Speaker 3: What so this is okay?
Speaker 1: The shrimp thing is okay.
Speaker 11: I do actually think that we should care about the
Speaker 11: suffering of non humans and that might include shrimp.
Speaker 3: Serious shrimp.
Speaker 10: There's a think tank that looked at all the behaviors
Speaker 10: that animals like shrimp show, and they show anxiety, they
Speaker 10: learn from experience, and they tend to wounds if they're hurt.
Speaker 3: There's now evidence that wait experience.
Speaker 6: Did he just make shrimp warm and fuzzy?
Speaker 3: Maybe they do deserve.
Speaker 9: Peace and happiness on the way to becoming my scampy.
Speaker 9: The more I listened to Andrea's the more inspired I got.
Speaker 9: I needed to get out there and make a difference.
Speaker 1: My friends didn't care about ecology.
Speaker 3: Hey you want to talk about shrimp today.
Speaker 9: Hey, you have five minutes to say the shrimp have annoying,
Speaker 9: isn't it.
Speaker 6: You're fright, You're fright.
Speaker 9: This wasn't enough. I was only saving a few shrimp
Speaker 9: at a time, but I had an idea to reach
Speaker 9: millions of people and make them see that shrimp deserve
Speaker 9: our love.
Speaker 10: It's up linger.
Speaker 13: Every hour, fifty million shrimp are harvested on shrimp farms
Speaker 13: Painful Swim. Last year, two point seven billion shrimp were
Speaker 13: given a helping hand. I'm Ryan Chang, and for the
Speaker 13: past twenty minutes since I found out there exist I've
Speaker 13: been supporting the shrimp Welfare project.
Speaker 4: From a nice bert that ac kills you.
Speaker 6: Oh, we still eat them.
Speaker 9: We just electrocute them first, and we don't gouge eyes out.
Speaker 9: You're welcome, big guy.
Speaker 3: Big Agaga. Every running down the show, they'll go away.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the rot. My guest tonight represents Massachusetts
Speaker 3: four District in Congress. Please welcome. Democratic Congressman Jake Auchincloss.
Speaker 1: Welcome. Thankful.
Speaker 3: You've got a big week.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 3: There's this big, beautiful bill that's coming through Congress right now.
Speaker 3: Republicans have put it up and you just got through
Speaker 3: a twenty seven and a half marathon markup session. Is
Speaker 3: that right? You're part of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Speaker 12: Jurisdiction over healthcare and energy, so we had twenty seven
Speaker 12: straight hours with the Republicans.
Speaker 3: How is that? I feel like I've done that in
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania before. I go to a lot of these rallies,
Speaker 3: and I can feel.
Speaker 1: It they're planning backfired.
Speaker 12: They put the healthcare portion of the bill in the
Speaker 12: middle of the night because they didn't want Americans to
Speaker 12: see them cutting healthcare from thirteen million patients. The problem
Speaker 12: is that means they had to talk about healthcare policy
Speaker 12: at three or four am, and no one's at their best.
Speaker 12: So I had one Texas Republican trying to explain why
Speaker 12: firing the scientists at the FDA who's in charge of
Speaker 12: making sure your eye drops don't blind you is not
Speaker 12: a win for government efficiency, and that set the tone
Speaker 12: for their defense of a bill that I think of
Speaker 12: as the Brad Smith Bill. Brad Smith's a billionaire, a
Speaker 12: donor to Trump, and was appointed to run healthcare for
Speaker 12: doche which is convenient for Brad Smith because he's his
Speaker 12: business sells health care services to Medicare and Medicaid. Now,
Speaker 12: Brad Smith, he loves this bill because he's a billionaire,
Speaker 12: so he's getting the tax cut, and he's running Medicare
Speaker 12: and Medicaid, so he gets to decide which Americans are
Speaker 12: deserving of healthcare or not while he sells to the
Speaker 12: very agency that is regulating and reimbursing his own business.
Speaker 12: Brad Smith thinks this bill is terrific. I think Americans
Speaker 12: are going to think that tax cuts for billionaires should
Speaker 12: not be a prop for healthcare.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that seems to be the first
Speaker 3: way it seems to be the response people have to
Speaker 3: begin with. But there's a lot of conversation about these
Speaker 3: medicaid cuts, right, and first of all, we'll see where
Speaker 3: this bill lands. But the Republicans are pushing back. They're
Speaker 3: saying why not, why are we getting medicaid to the topic.
Speaker 3: They're saying, able body, no dependence. What's wrong with making
Speaker 3: some concessions? There is there a place in the middle.
Speaker 3: You guys can can find some common ground there. Why
Speaker 3: can't you give into that request?
Speaker 12: There actually are fraud and abuse elements of that bill
Speaker 12: that were bipartisan that were put in last Congress. There
Speaker 12: were elements of that bill, for example, that took on
Speaker 12: health insurance corporations that were price gouging taxpayers and raising
Speaker 12: copays for description drugs. Now Elon Musk tweeted about that
Speaker 12: bill in December and it got pulled down by Speaker Johnson.
Speaker 12: They're trying to stuff it back in here. So, of course,
Speaker 12: there are elements that we can agree on. What we
Speaker 12: can agree on is making it more expensive to access
Speaker 12: at home care if you're a senior citizen, making it
Speaker 12: so that if you're a parent raising a kid with
Speaker 12: an intellectual disability, you now have to send your child
Speaker 12: to an institution rather than get at home care from
Speaker 12: a personal care attendant. If you have insurance to your employer,
Speaker 12: you're now going to pay higher premiums and for what
Speaker 12: to avoid having to raise the top tax rate from
Speaker 12: thirty seven to thirty nine percent for the richest Americans.
Speaker 3: I mean, do you think there are their ears on
Speaker 3: the other side that are willing to hear this? I mean,
Speaker 3: Josh Holly has been pushing back against some of these cuts.
Speaker 3: I mean these are affecting people in red and blue districts. A.
Speaker 3: I mean that will play well perhaps in the Daily
Speaker 3: shows audience here, but in red states will that play We've.
Speaker 12: Been having this fight for fifteen years. Democrats try to
Speaker 12: expand healthcare coverage, Publicans try to take it back, and
Speaker 12: repeatedly what we have seen, whether it's twenty eighteen, whether
Speaker 12: it's twenty twenty, when Democrats campaign on expanding healthcare coverage,
Speaker 12: Democrats win.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Talk to me about the TikTok ban or you
Speaker 3: were a cosponsored the TikTok ban. It passed in both houses,
Speaker 3: signed into law by President Biden, and now Trump is
Speaker 3: refusing to enact it. Is this a constitutional crisis. Are
Speaker 3: we there?
Speaker 12: He's definitely breaking the law as he is on a
Speaker 12: number of other fronts.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, he likes to do that. We called that
Speaker 1: a weekday.
Speaker 12: I approached this bill though not as a member of Congress,
Speaker 12: but as a dad. You've got a son, yes, I do.
Speaker 12: I got three kids, five, three, and two years old.
Speaker 12: How much are you dreading that first smartphone?
Speaker 3: I mean just the price alone, because I'm a very
Speaker 3: cheap father. But yeah, the idea of giving that into
Speaker 3: a child, it's like a loaded weapon.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 12: These social media corporations are attention fracking our kids. They're
Speaker 12: rewiring our kids' brains. They are turning our children into
Speaker 12: a product, and they need to pay for it. We
Speaker 12: have to band smartphones in schools. We've got to tax
Speaker 12: their digital advertising revenue two hundred and fifty billion dollars
Speaker 12: a year and use it to fix what they have broken.
Speaker 12: And this TikTok di investment is the first step to
Speaker 12: taken back family time from screen time.
Speaker 3: I mean, I like this idea at attention tax is
Speaker 3: a it's a fascinating idea. I guess I'm curious specifically
Speaker 3: with the TikTok ban. This does feel like a moment
Speaker 3: where Donald Trump has been told to do something and
Speaker 3: is not doing it. There's an executive order, it's passed
Speaker 3: through Congress. You could make the argument, this is a
Speaker 3: constitutional crisis. Is this the constitutional crisis? I don't know,
Speaker 3: but you are. You're in Congress right now. The president
Speaker 3: is not willing to follow the laws of Congress and
Speaker 3: the previous presidents. What can you do? What should you do?
Speaker 1: There's two paths here. One is the legal path.
Speaker 12: So a bunch of attorney's general across the states are
Speaker 12: going to be suing Apple and Android and the other
Speaker 12: platforms that host TikTok to say that they have to
Speaker 12: follow the law by not hosting TikTok, even if Donald
Speaker 12: Trump won't. The second, though, is power. We got to
Speaker 12: take back power in Congress because Republicans view themselves as
Speaker 12: a rubber stamp. They think they're courtiers to the court
Speaker 12: at mar A Lago. Democrats need to win the mid
Speaker 12: terms and reinstate the checks and balances that our democracy
Speaker 12: relies upon.
Speaker 9: It.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do we say, though, But what do you
Speaker 3: say to someone who's like, all right, this is a
Speaker 3: constitutional crisis. What do we need to do? I hope
Speaker 3: Apple sues somebody, and we'll wait a year and a
Speaker 3: half till we get some power. Like Okay, that sounds
Speaker 3: like a plan, But I mean, shouldn't you impeach the president?
Speaker 3: Isn't there something you can do now and through a
Speaker 3: governmental process to stop a president from from clearly creating
Speaker 3: a putting us in this constitutional moment?
Speaker 12: The Speaker of the House is nickname is Maga, Mike Johnson.
Speaker 12: They are never bringing articles of impeachment to the House floor.
Speaker 12: Democrats have to recognize that Americans know that we are
Speaker 12: against Donald Trump. We have made that crystal clear. If
Speaker 12: we're gonna win back power, if we're gonna govern from
Speaker 12: a place of trust with the American people, we have
Speaker 12: to show people what we are for, not just what
Speaker 12: we are against.
Speaker 3: What is that I've heard? I've even like, there's this
Speaker 3: abundance agenda people are talking about. Reclin was on Ezra Kleine,
Speaker 3: Derek Thompson were on the show talking about this so well.
Speaker 3: I know you've talked about this. What is this vision
Speaker 3: for for for a future Democratic party that people can
Speaker 3: get behind.
Speaker 1: It's about doing better than your parents.
Speaker 12: That's the core promise in the United States is We
Speaker 12: want people to do well, and we want their kids
Speaker 12: to do even better. Right now, what's holding back the
Speaker 12: next generation from doing better is the price of housing,
Speaker 12: the costs of energy, which is constricting the economy for
Speaker 12: the middle class, and excellence in education. Democrats have to
Speaker 12: have a bold agenda. We're going to get one on
Speaker 12: one tutoring to every student in America. The school closures
Speaker 12: during the pandemic, the school closures were a catastrophe. The
Speaker 12: school closures were a catastrophe, and candidly, Democrats own a
Speaker 12: lot of that.
Speaker 1: We can fix it. Though.
Speaker 12: In my own district, the city of Fall River, biggest
Speaker 12: city in my district, voted for Donald Trump. I saw
Speaker 12: four hundred first graders get one on one tutoring fifteen
Speaker 12: minutes a day, high quality remote. They gained six months
Speaker 12: of reading and math instruction just from fifteen minutes a day.
Speaker 12: One teacher called it quote a gift. Every American student
Speaker 12: should get that gift in this country. Yeah, we have
Speaker 12: to build five million homes in this country. Baby boomers
Speaker 12: they bought a house for like fourteen dollars in the
Speaker 12: nineteen seventies and it's appreciated, and that's great, But the
Speaker 12: next generation can't even get their hand on the bottom
Speaker 12: run of the ladder because they can't buy a house.
Speaker 1: Let's build five million homes in this country.
Speaker 12: Let's build five Hoover dams with a nuclear power, and
Speaker 12: let's unleash this economy for the middle class.
Speaker 3: Where do you see that? Is there an example you
Speaker 3: see that happening?
Speaker 11: Ye?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 3: Where what is the city that is building at a
Speaker 3: pace and in the way that you think democrats could emulate.
Speaker 12: Austin, Texas changed its zoning and land use code in
Speaker 12: twenty twenty two. They built fifty thousand apartments in two years.
Speaker 12: Rents went down by twenty percent.
Speaker 3: And then Joe Rogan and Elon Musk moved it. And
Speaker 3: now people are fleeing.
Speaker 12: And if people think that are democrats, you guys can't
Speaker 12: cut regulations.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 12: In Cambridge, Massachusetts, city that eighty eight percent of voters
Speaker 12: went for Kamala Harris, Cambridge, Massachusetts just passed the zoning
Speaker 12: Reform Bill one hundred pages. Ninety of those pages were
Speaker 12: just deleting old rules so to make it easier to
Speaker 12: build missing middle housing, the kind of housing that twenty somethings,
Speaker 12: thirty somethings can buy and get a start in life.
Speaker 3: So you think we should look to Texas for some
Speaker 3: of these answers.
Speaker 12: Texas has been building more homes than Newsom's California has.
Speaker 3: Interesting now, when you look at the Democratic Party are
Speaker 3: they are they focusing too much on messaging right now?
Speaker 3: Or they need to be the party of ideas, party
Speaker 3: of ideas. There's no shortage of ambition, there's no shortage
Speaker 3: of Polsters. What there is a shortage of is big,
Speaker 3: bold ideas that show Americans that we've got an agenda
Speaker 3: that makes kids do better than their parents. So you
Speaker 3: want me to do better than my parents.
Speaker 1: I want your son to do better than you.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's that's a nice way of putting it in
Speaker 3: to be fair. The ego in me, I'd be I'd
Speaker 3: be fine if my son did just as good as me.
Speaker 3: I think that that would be. Let's aim for that
Speaker 3: and see if we can find some consensus there. All right,
