Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Molly john Fast and this is Fast Politics,
Speaker 1: where we discussed the top political headlines with some of
Speaker 1: today's best minds. And according to Nnie Fair, Tucker Callson
Speaker 1: told Trump to pick jd Vance or the deep state
Speaker 1: would kill him. Just a totally normal exchange. We have
Speaker 1: such a great show for you today. Senator Al Franken
Speaker 1: drops by to react to the RNC and let me
Speaker 1: tell you it's a happy time. Then we'll talk to
Speaker 1: you Tennessee House Rep. Gloria Johnson about her Senate run
Speaker 1: against Marshall Blackburn. But first we have the host of
Speaker 1: the Enemies lest the Lincoln Project's own, my buddy, Rick Wilson,
Speaker 1: Fast Politics Emergency Emergency Podcast. After whatever that was? Whatever?
Speaker 1: What was that? Rick Wilson, the day seven hundred of
Speaker 1: the RNC.
Speaker 2: Okay, listen, the first fifteen minutes, I thought, wow, the
Speaker 2: x Annix.
Speaker 3: Is talking nat.
Speaker 1: So the first minutes you were like, oh wow, this
Speaker 1: is like a real speech.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: The first time that SID was like, well, maybe he's
Speaker 2: gonna have some disciplined approach and maybe this will unfold
Speaker 2: into something interesting. I never believed the lie that oh
Speaker 2: Trump is going to listen to speech writers and they're
Speaker 2: going to craft a message to appeal to all Americans,
Speaker 2: because that is what we referred to in the speech
Speaker 2: writing business as horseshit. But Molly, I mean, the thing
Speaker 2: that fucking blew me away is and I'm pissed off
Speaker 2: about one thing. I'm just gonna tell you this while
Speaker 2: we are recording this. As you know, the speech is
Speaker 2: still going on. Guys, we bailed. We veiled it, like
Speaker 2: two hours into this fucking thing. I lost the LP
Speaker 2: office pool. I thought it would be fifty nine minutes
Speaker 2: out and done. I was not successful.
Speaker 1: I've been to so many seapacks where you're sitting there
Speaker 1: and you're like, but I really thought this would end
Speaker 1: after an hour.
Speaker 3: Somewhere down in hell.
Speaker 2: Right now, Fidel Castro is like, wrap it up, bro,
Speaker 2: come on, let's wrap it up.
Speaker 1: Let's just talk about the second the beginning that we
Speaker 1: had who Kalgan pulling off his shirt to reveal a
Speaker 1: Trump Vance shirt, right.
Speaker 2: Kid rock with the worst lip syncing in the history
Speaker 2: of mankind. He was like the Millie Vanilli of.
Speaker 3: The RNC. It was so bad over a song that's
Speaker 3: not even his, that was a Metallica song Correck.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, well learn something new every day. And
Speaker 1: but he got Trump into the lyrics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean okay, and then you get this Dana
Speaker 2: White guy, and immediately my my social team at LP
Speaker 2: posts this video of Dana White the guy giving a
Speaker 2: speech slapping the shit out of a woman at a bar.
Speaker 3: Nice guy, Yeah, nice people, you got there, Donnie.
Speaker 2: The speech descended into rambling anecdotal shout outs to weird
Speaker 2: friends that may or may not have seen in the audience.
Speaker 2: It's the inevitable sur story space for us. If I
Speaker 2: was drinking, I mean, by the time I got to
Speaker 2: the point where you and I got on this podcast,
Speaker 2: I would have had permanent liver damage with all the
Speaker 2: callouts on the drinking bingo for Trump campaign events. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to stop because you know what, he
Speaker 2: doesn't have to.
Speaker 3: These people want the monster.
Speaker 1: To do anything for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right now, I just checked, it's still going Molly. The time,
Speaker 2: folks is eleven forty nine pm on the East coast,
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump is still fucking talking.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question about this convention,
Speaker 1: because before Donald Trump spoke, we had Tucker Carlson, Tucker
Speaker 1: Ralson used to be the most important person in conservative media. Right,
Speaker 1: he created nearratives. He got both of us numerous death threats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rick Wilson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was a weird speech too, Like it
Speaker 1: felt like a few people have seemed more diminished than
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 2: I think what you saw, Tucker Carlson. I mean basically,
Speaker 2: he will be remembered in the same sort of way
Speaker 2: that Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock and Rando golf course managers,
Speaker 2: two golf guys. There's the great gift that Donald Trump
Speaker 2: bought himself about a year and a half ago. He
Speaker 2: brought in Susie Wiles and Chris Losovita. Okay, two people
Speaker 2: the national media like and trust and who are smart
Speaker 2: and who are very smart. And those people have been
Speaker 2: bullshitting the press for months. Different those this campaign is
Speaker 2: completely under our control. They were fucked. Read the tem
Speaker 2: Alberta article from earlier in the week. They were taking
Speaker 2: a victory lap. They were picking out curtains in the
Speaker 2: White House for their offices.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they forgot who their candidate was.
Speaker 2: And you're like, by the way, you do realize he's insane.
Speaker 2: And this idea that Donald Trump is insane seems to
Speaker 2: have somehow escaped them. It should never escape you. If
Speaker 2: you're in or around the vicinity of Donald Trump, especially
Speaker 2: in a work situation, you must always bear in mind
Speaker 2: that he is batshit, bug, fuck ratcrack insane, and it's
Speaker 2: always struggling to get out. Like tonight, he tried to
Speaker 2: have a moment where he mentions the injured people at
Speaker 2: the event where the kid tried to kill him. He
Speaker 2: mentions Corey Comparatore, and then he goes over and hugs
Speaker 2: the guy's bunker gear and helmet and kisses the helmet,
Speaker 2: and it's it's like he thinks in his mind, like
Speaker 2: this is a great picture. Everyone will know this, this
Speaker 2: would be the picture. And yet it just looked fucking weird.
Speaker 2: It just looked bizarre. And of course they spelled the
Speaker 2: guy's name wrong on then they spelled his name wrong.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that poor family. But
Speaker 2: the crazy he is always trying to get out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean this is the thing I was.
Speaker 1: I was struck by. It's just the same speech, it's
Speaker 1: the same issues, it's the same. I mean, he got
Speaker 1: china virus in there, the guy, you know, chinavirus. I
Speaker 1: hadn't heard any of that in like, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: four years. I mean, it just was you realize the
Speaker 1: guy has only so many things. And the thing that
Speaker 1: I had been thinking about a lot was when you
Speaker 1: watch the debate, what you with the debate, When you
Speaker 1: watch the convention, what you see is that they've tamped
Speaker 1: down some of the rhetoric. But since there's no policy,
Speaker 1: there's nothing right. If there's no rhetoric and there's no policy,
Speaker 1: you literally have nothing. You just have stories about what
Speaker 1: a good grandfather he is.
Speaker 3: This is chat GPT.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you tell chat GPT, chat GPT generate a
Speaker 2: greatest hits compilation of Donald Trump reading speeches and the
Speaker 2: style of the del Castro. It's just this random anecdotal
Speaker 2: you know. Freight train rolling down the Tracks by friend
Speaker 2: Ryan Wiggins just posted to this. For those of you
Speaker 2: who doubted that Trump wrote his own speech tonight, let
Speaker 2: me assure you he absolutely did. It also represents Trump's
Speaker 2: state of mind. He is never a cohesive thinker. He
Speaker 2: is never a systematic thinker. He is always whatever shiny
Speaker 2: object is in front of you, Donald Trump is going
Speaker 2: to grab at it, whatever thought enters his mind. There
Speaker 2: is no cognitive process beyond now, I will speak those
Speaker 2: words that are in my head.
Speaker 1: Yes, no, and there never has been. Let's just go
Speaker 1: to Hugo loll our friend, who is actually there on
Speaker 1: the floor. Trump's speech at the RNC was supposed to
Speaker 1: last forty minutes. Trump is totally blown past that as
Speaker 1: he continues to add leb. The prompter has not moved
Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes, and somewhere Susie Wiles is like,
Speaker 1: why couldn't I get to Santis not to be terrible? Right?
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Susie Wiles right now is getting her
Speaker 2: team of young minions to find her a two court
Speaker 2: wine glass and to fill it to the brim so
Speaker 2: she can slam down a beautiful hit of unconsciousness.
Speaker 3: It's just so painful.
Speaker 1: The idea that Trump would ever be anything but Trump
Speaker 1: is just wish casting. And I think that we all
Speaker 1: know this. I mean, you and I I feel like
Speaker 1: we've been covering Trump for eight years, but we've really
Speaker 1: been covering Trump for fifty years.
Speaker 2: At some point right after World War Two, this entire
Speaker 2: thing started, right, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, but we always know who he was, but he
Speaker 1: blew through the tailprompter is the speech still going now,
Speaker 1: I think it may still be going.
Speaker 2: It looks like it's still going. It is the energizer
Speaker 2: horror show.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I think when you hear him,
Speaker 1: he really does. He has a few, just sort of
Speaker 1: a few greatest hits, and he goes back to them
Speaker 1: again and again and again, and somehow it's Venezuela sending
Speaker 1: us all their crimina, and We're.
Speaker 2: Gonna have the next Republican Convention in Venezuela because it's
Speaker 2: so safe, okay. And of course, look, the greatest hits
Speaker 2: really rolled out. We had Hannibal Lecter, we had a
Speaker 2: sur story.
Speaker 1: We had right, we had cheering for Victor orbon right.
Speaker 3: Right, we had I in the Terrible Wood in Ukraine.
Speaker 3: Putin was afraid of me. He was afraid of you
Speaker 3: sucking his dick too hard. Donald Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: By the way, folks, it's it's it's just about midnight,
Speaker 2: so I'm getting loose.
Speaker 1: I like that he had that moment where he said
Speaker 1: I'm going to be the president for all Americans, and
Speaker 1: then he was like, and the radical leftist thugs who.
Speaker 3: Right right right, and they're communists. What did you think
Speaker 3: of the chart Smiley. That was a that was a moment.
Speaker 1: The chart had saved his life. He went back to
Speaker 1: had fifteen times right, he had a.
Speaker 3: Chart, and the charts up on the stage.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, you got nine monitors showing different sizes
Speaker 2: of the STA.
Speaker 1: But it was so funny because it was like that
Speaker 1: first five minutes, first ten minutes, you really thought, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is a new guy. I thought maybe
Speaker 1: he's and the picture of him, and then it just
Speaker 1: went off the US.
Speaker 2: Every reporter today. I was talking to reporters all day.
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of friends up there that are
Speaker 2: at this thing, talking to reporters, to inside LP and
Speaker 2: outside right, and everybody was hearing this story that was
Speaker 2: coming out from the campaign. Oh, he's rewritten the speech.
Speaker 2: He's right, right, right, He's going to talk about family
Speaker 2: and the and the way that this experience has changed
Speaker 2: his life.
Speaker 3: And what they got.
Speaker 2: And I got a text from a national reporter at
Speaker 2: the top of the food chain who was like, the
Speaker 2: Rando rallies are better than this shit. What is weird
Speaker 2: and frustrating? I think probably to the Trump people right now,
Speaker 2: they have to be very honest with themselves. You cannot
Speaker 2: control Trump. It's a rule. There is no better version
Speaker 2: of Trump. It is also a rule. He went in
Speaker 2: to this speech tonight thinking that he's the greatest entertainer
Speaker 2: in the world. But I will tell you, the first
Speaker 2: half of this speech was so low energy. It was
Speaker 2: like Jeb Bush on XANAX. This guy was flat, His
Speaker 2: affect was low, and it didn't feel like it didn't
Speaker 2: feel like he had a through line in this speech
Speaker 2: at all other than I'm going to get to the
Speaker 2: greatest hits. I'm going to walk through the assassination attempt
Speaker 2: and then get to the greatest hits and try to
Speaker 2: drag this thing out. And you know, Molly, it is
Speaker 2: now midnight. He is still talking. He shows no sign
Speaker 2: of leaving the stage. I presume that sometime around dawn,
Speaker 2: you know, Steven tapping on the shoulder and say, boss, listen,
Speaker 2: I've got to go. I've got to be back in
Speaker 2: a coffin filled with the soil of my native land.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I mean, I think that's right. But also
Speaker 1: the other thing is, you know, once you got into
Speaker 1: our two of this speech, you really you saw all
Speaker 1: the political operatives in my Twitter feed saying you know
Speaker 1: what we could beat this fucking guy, right, like, this
Speaker 1: guy can lose.
Speaker 2: Here's my moment on this. We can beat this fucking guy.
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's some random person we pull
Speaker 2: off the street. Okay, I don't care if it's some
Speaker 2: random person they pull off the street. This guy is
Speaker 2: is beatable. The sky is weak. This guy is not
Speaker 2: mentally acute. Look what he's doing up there is the
Speaker 2: equivalent of a borsch Belt comedian riffing off the jokes
Speaker 2: you know that he's been telling for thirty five fucking years.
Speaker 3: It's boring.
Speaker 1: The other thing is that it takes a certain amount
Speaker 1: of unreality to accept the central premise of this, which
Speaker 1: is is that you know he's listing that You know
Speaker 1: he lists these these horrible crimes committed against women. This
Speaker 1: is a person who does not give a fuck about
Speaker 1: violence against women, right. We know this from some of
Speaker 1: his court cases. We know this from his civil case
Speaker 1: against Egen Carroll. But you know he wants to say
Speaker 1: these stories because they're about illegal immigrants. And I, ultimately,
Speaker 1: I really do think that there is no world in
Speaker 1: which Donald Trump isn't just a really beatable candidate at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, because he's not good, and
Speaker 1: people don't.
Speaker 2: Like this and they don't want to back this guy
Speaker 2: is still the worst president of our lifetimes. Oh god,
Speaker 2: he's apparently telling the battery story now, but.
Speaker 1: He's also saying, like the world is you know, America's
Speaker 1: filled with violent crime, and you know, he's making it
Speaker 1: sound like why amar Germany? Right? And he even mentioned that, right,
Speaker 1: he mentioned stagflation.
Speaker 3: There's nowhere in the world that ever's been inflation like this.
Speaker 2: I'm like, motherfucker, where I am our Germany, Argentina at
Speaker 2: any time during the twentieth century, at any random moment,
Speaker 2: they could have like twenty seven inflation.
Speaker 1: England is not inflation. England right now has inflation six
Speaker 1: times that America has. I mean, the whole thing is crazy.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, anybody's just in the LP group chat
Speaker 2: just said it's genius. Really, no convention has ever broken
Speaker 2: into day five without a nomination controversy before.
Speaker 1: That's very good.
Speaker 3: He keeps going to election day. It's just free advertising.
Speaker 1: He might, I mean, anyway, So, but Dave Wasserman, I
Speaker 1: think this is a really important point. Pu're out a
Speaker 1: reminder that someone is going to have to win the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election, despite their best efforts not to,
Speaker 1: which feels like, right where we are right.
Speaker 2: Now, it's philibustering his own convention. Then you now, Molly,
Speaker 2: what we saw tonight was the most ridiculous, over the
Speaker 2: top random. I mean, you don't even have to build
Speaker 2: the ads around this. This thing is just plain stupid
Speaker 2: and silly. And it shows you how weak the fact is,
Speaker 2: how weak this campaign really is, because the man at
Speaker 2: the top is broken. That is a broken brain man.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe RFK loaned him the brain worm, but he is.
Speaker 2: There's no cogent underpinning to this whole thing, right.
Speaker 1: No, there's nothing. There's no thinking but that said, that
Speaker 1: brain worm is dead.
Speaker 5: Rfk's brainworm is dead.
Speaker 1: I just want to point that out. Not to be
Speaker 1: a scientist here.
Speaker 6: But all right, guys, are you concerned with Project twenty
Speaker 6: twenty five and how awful Trump's second term could be?
Speaker 1: Well, so are we, and by the way, we really are,
Speaker 1: I have to say, which is why we teamed with
Speaker 1: iHeart to make a limited series. The experts, a lot
Speaker 1: of academics, really smart people about what a disaster Trump's
Speaker 1: second term would be for America's future.
Speaker 7: Right now.
Speaker 1: You can find the first two episodes by looking up
Speaker 1: Molly Jong Fast That's Me Project twenty twenty five on YouTube.
Speaker 1: And if you're thinking that you're more of a podcast
Speaker 1: person and not a YouTuber, you can And now I'm
Speaker 1: going to explain to you something very complicated. Hit play
Speaker 1: on YouTube, then put your phone in the lock screen
Speaker 1: and it will play back so you can listen to
Speaker 1: it like a podcast. New episodes are dropping in the
Speaker 1: next few weeks. We need to educate Americans on what
Speaker 1: Trump's second term would look like and exactly what his
Speaker 1: plans are for this country. Watch and help us spread
Speaker 1: the word. Al Franken is a former senator and host
Speaker 1: of the Al Franken podcast. Welcome back to Fast Politics,
Speaker 1: My buddy.
Speaker 4: Al Franken, Thanks Molly, Why are to be back?
Speaker 1: Happy time? When Al Franken joins me on the podcast,
Speaker 1: it's a happy time. I'm sorry to tell you.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, if that's my charge, I'm not exactly happy.
Speaker 4: I mean, of course, by this COVID of course he does.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And this whole convention is magical because he survived this
Speaker 4: assassination attempt, and thank God, thank God, and our sympathies
Speaker 4: to the family of the firefighter who snave this family.
Speaker 4: But of course this would happen to Trump and he
Speaker 4: goes in. They're cocky.
Speaker 1: They think they're going to win.
Speaker 4: They think they're going to win, and right now we
Speaker 4: think they're going to win. And that's why I'm a
Speaker 4: little bit down. I'm sorry to say.
Speaker 1: See, I actually don't think they're going to win.
Speaker 4: Tell me why not.
Speaker 1: To be a contrarian. I still think they don't win. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we're going to need someone on the top of the ticket.
Speaker 1: Not to be a political strategist here, but if Joe
Speaker 1: Biden wants to drop out, which I personally have said that,
Speaker 1: I actually think he can win again. But if he
Speaker 1: wants to drop out, which he very well might.
Speaker 4: Well last night we got all the news at LOCI
Speaker 4: and Schumer.
Speaker 1: Is this true for you and for Joe Biden, you
Speaker 1: are creatures of the Senate. I mean, you're technically more
Speaker 1: a creature of Saturday Alive, but you're probably the only
Speaker 1: person in the world who's both a creature of Saturday
Speaker 1: Alive and the Senate.
Speaker 4: That is true.
Speaker 1: But Joe Biden wants to keep the majority in the
Speaker 1: Senate and he wants to win the majority in the House.
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why Democrats rallied behind him
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty was because he is a man who
Speaker 1: comes from the Senate. And I mean, what's so interesting
Speaker 1: about this moment is I don't want to be happy
Speaker 1: here because everyone's freaking out, but I just want it
Speaker 1: for a second. Here. You've got really good people in
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and you have abject morons in the
Speaker 1: Republican Party.
Speaker 4: Okay, we saw some of that last night. Tomorrow we
Speaker 4: saw a lot.
Speaker 1: By the way, the theme of the Republican National Convention,
Speaker 1: I was working the two different themes. I was trying
Speaker 1: to gauge it out. But I think the real truth
Speaker 1: theme is getting away with crime.
Speaker 4: We can do it, but not any immigrants who's ever
Speaker 4: committed a crime that will. We'll have someone come and
Speaker 4: talk about that.
Speaker 1: Now, if you're not white, you're going in a camp,
Speaker 1: or if you're us. I think we should be clear
Speaker 1: about this. If you're not white, we are technically not
Speaker 1: white because we're Jews. But we are all going in.
Speaker 4: Camps technically according to them. But we're white, Molly.
Speaker 1: But the point is we're all going to end up
Speaker 1: in Enemies of the State camps if Trump wins, which
Speaker 1: is the good news and the bad news, which is.
Speaker 4: Why I want to say some really good things about
Speaker 4: the Republic there.
Speaker 1: That's right. I'm telling you what's happening right now in
Speaker 1: some dark corners of the mainstream media where they've decided
Speaker 1: that they're going to just like cover Trump like a
Speaker 1: normal person and not a person who has been impeached twice,
Speaker 1: had four criminal cases against him, numerous civil cases, and
Speaker 1: has been adjudicated to have sexually assaulted Egene Carroll. Trump
Speaker 1: is going to send you to camps too, man Like,
Speaker 1: there's not going to be like, well, that person said
Speaker 1: something nice on you know June third. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: well they're not that organized.
Speaker 4: Well, this is the underside of their belly which they
Speaker 4: are showing, and the viro showed it. Gilfoyle. Did you
Speaker 4: see her speech?
Speaker 1: I saw her speech.
Speaker 4: Wow, it was very loud. She did this last convention too,
Speaker 4: and I think her lips got swamps a little bit.
Speaker 1: Is yet to be Yeah, that's totally natural though, just
Speaker 1: like Matt Gates, sometimes the face smooths itself.
Speaker 4: Didn't you think vance was underwhelming?
Speaker 1: I have to tell you. McKinzie has made a few candidates,
Speaker 1: all of whom are terrible, but he is the worst.
Speaker 1: But that's the other theme of this convention that I've
Speaker 1: been thinking about, is this idea that we don't believe
Speaker 1: any thing we're saying like, and no better example of
Speaker 1: this than Jadie Vance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well he didn't beer anywhere near. Navarro also said
Speaker 4: some things that just weren't true. Really no, yes, no,
Speaker 4: I'm telling you no, it can't be No. I mean
Speaker 4: he said that I love this that Trump was against
Speaker 4: the war in rock.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, except he wasn't.
Speaker 4: Well, he said he told Sean Hannity that he was
Speaker 4: against it. That was his evidence in the last race.
Speaker 1: Well, if you can't trust Sean Hannity, who could you trust.
Speaker 4: But I thought Vance that his speech was just the
Speaker 4: Memaw stuff.
Speaker 1: When they started chanting Mema, that was my favorite.
Speaker 4: The one thing I liked about it was that Mema
Speaker 4: had nineteen loaded guns around the house when she died,
Speaker 4: And it was evidently and the explanation was perfect, that
Speaker 4: she didn't have any mobility. So if an intruder came in,
Speaker 4: you wanted to make sure there was a gun within.
Speaker 4: I guess crawling distance.
Speaker 1: You want to give your elderly relatives guns, especially if
Speaker 1: they're starting to lose their vision, because Hilaritay will ensue.
Speaker 4: Well, a neighbor came over to use the phone and
Speaker 4: was shot.
Speaker 1: The thing about Jade Vance that absolutely just baffles me.
Speaker 1: It's like, here's this guy. He is clearly quite smart, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and his wife seems really smart.
Speaker 4: And by the way, she was so appropriately uncomfortable, I mean,
Speaker 4: just because suddenly she's dead. The Republican National Convention and
Speaker 4: introducing her husband. It was like there were a few
Speaker 4: occasions last night where I went, oh, that's nice. And
Speaker 4: when fucking Junior brought up his daughter, Yeah, and I
Speaker 4: want to talk about what people don't know about my grandpa.
Speaker 4: Holy crap. That was effective. And then Junior got up
Speaker 4: and it all went away instantly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a gifted orator of that. Junior. I can't
Speaker 1: say anything mean about him because he's like has me
Speaker 1: like targeted for a death camp, and occasionally he will
Speaker 1: just like tweet something about me out of nowhere. Now,
Speaker 1: I actually think he has no idea who I am.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of his people who really hates me.
Speaker 1: But like a couple months ago, he was like, Molly
Speaker 1: john Fast sucks so much. Also, she's getting a weekend
Speaker 1: show on Emma's NBC and people call me up and
Speaker 1: they're like congratulations, and I was like, this is not real.
Speaker 1: They just made this off.
Speaker 4: That's very exciting though, that you got a weekend show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll be broadcasting from the death Camp. But
Speaker 1: one of the things that I think is interesting about
Speaker 1: him is that he was very mad when I wrote
Speaker 1: this piece about fail suns, which is this idea that
Speaker 1: was actually created by the good fellows over at Chapo
Speaker 1: Trap House.
Speaker 5: And it is this idea that you can from prominent
Speaker 5: parents who can be a NEPO baby as I am,
Speaker 5: and you can fail ergo become a fail son.
Speaker 4: Well, I wouldn't like that if I were him. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so if you go to the camp, you didn't have
Speaker 4: to do that. You didn't have to write that.
Speaker 1: That's right. Had I only clearly JD Van's shows that
Speaker 1: you can at some point recan't, right, but you can
Speaker 1: say I meant Hitler in the good way when I
Speaker 1: called you Hitler.
Speaker 4: Right right, Yeah, it was maybe he's Hitler. He didn't
Speaker 4: definitively say he's either Nixon or worse. I guess Hitler.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean exactly, he's Nixon or he's Hitler. I mean,
Speaker 1: Nixon is considered by some in the Republican Party to
Speaker 1: still be kind of a good guy. And now the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court has made it so that what Nixon did
Speaker 1: would be considered not illegal anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're definition unit. No, he wouldn't have to give
Speaker 4: up the tapes to Nixon's alive to see that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he would have really been pretty psyched.
Speaker 4: Well why did they do? Okay? Yeah, so you're looking
Speaker 4: forward to Trump tonight?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just nothing better than I love the bandage.
Speaker 4: The bandage is a perfect was perfect rectangle.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you seen that everyone else is wearing bandages? Now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was in solidarity. That was a joke I
Speaker 4: would have done. You know, once on Saturday Night Live,
Speaker 4: Belushi and Buck Henry did a Samurai del Contessen or something,
Speaker 4: and Blush would swing that sword around and he hit
Speaker 4: Buck and did a gash in his forehead. You know,
Speaker 4: he had to wear a bandage for the rest of
Speaker 4: the show because he was bleeding, and everybody put a
Speaker 4: bandage on on their head. So I thought right away,
Speaker 4: and I would in sympathy put a bandage on. But
Speaker 4: then I thought that was a bad taste, of course, But.
Speaker 1: It turns out that's just now the thing we're all doing.
Speaker 4: That's showing your affection for fearless leader and your solidarity
Speaker 4: with them. So it's a nice little gesture.
Speaker 1: You're still going to end up in the camps. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Well, not if you hear my next podcasts. You know,
Speaker 4: they they evidently like people do one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they do. I mean, I hope you will
Speaker 1: engage in self tanner because if we've learned anything from
Speaker 1: the election of twenty twenty four, it'said self tanner or
Speaker 1: bronzer or just orange paint is the way to go.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: That's a good tip anytime. Solet's get back to creeping
Speaker 1: authoritarianism for a minute. Jadie Mans was picked by Don
Speaker 1: jor Don Junior, as you and I both know, has
Speaker 1: an enormous political acumen and gifted political operator.
Speaker 4: Met with Russians, yes, for the Trump chat, but that
Speaker 4: was because they do all their business with Russia.
Speaker 1: That's not politics, that's that's just business.
Speaker 4: They're promised dirt.
Speaker 1: Right exactly on Hillary Clinton. But it turned out that
Speaker 1: James Colemy was the person who delivered it in the end.
Speaker 1: God damn it. We're trying to make people feel less depressed.
Speaker 1: I think it's working.
Speaker 4: Yes, I feel better. I feel so much better. Just
Speaker 4: a few minutes ago I came to this. That's that's
Speaker 4: your podcast. You can't leave it not happy.
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for the text from Jesse, which is, like,
Speaker 1: no one wants to hear this.
Speaker 4: Move on.
Speaker 1: At some point when I get really insufferable, Jesse will
Speaker 1: text me. I mean, the good thing about being a
Speaker 1: woman is that sometimes people tell you the truth. Whereas
Speaker 1: I think there are certain people where no one ever
Speaker 1: tells them the truth. Elon Musk is who I'm thinking of,
Speaker 1: but all of those other people where they just believe
Speaker 1: they're charming.
Speaker 4: So Musk is giving forty five million a month, Yeah,
Speaker 4: holy shit.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who was created by climate incentives
Speaker 1: now giving money to the guy who is going to
Speaker 1: just basically destroy the EPA. Like, if that isn't full circle,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. Like, you made
Speaker 1: all your money on electric cars and pretending you cared
Speaker 1: about the environment. Now you're giving all your money to
Speaker 1: a guy who's like we're going to have the cleanest
Speaker 1: H two O.
Speaker 4: There are all kinds of talk from speakers about how
Speaker 4: we aren't oil sufficient in our country.
Speaker 1: Yes, because of Biden, we're drowning in oil.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're explorting it. We have more oil than
Speaker 4: we've ever had and gas and are selling it overseas.
Speaker 1: This R and C is like every single thing they say, right,
Speaker 1: like immigration, these people coming to the country who are
Speaker 1: coming illegally. The numbers are way down, right, They're way
Speaker 1: down since Spiden has put this climate thing, this new
Speaker 1: executive order, So that's way down. We're net exporting gas.
Speaker 1: The economy is really good. Inflation is on its way down.
Speaker 1: You watch this and you think you're in WYMR German
Speaker 1: A nineteen thirty three and that no one can get jobs.
Speaker 1: We're like at almost full employment. The economy is booming.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Deporting ten million or twelve million or however many
Speaker 4: immigrants is insane. I'm aging. I'm seventy three. My generation,
Speaker 4: this huge generation is aging out and we're losing those workers.
Speaker 4: We need these people. We desperately need them, and not
Speaker 4: just to do what you think of as immigrant you know,
Speaker 4: farm work, but other stuff as well, and this is
Speaker 4: a history of our country. So this is a really
Speaker 4: this is really bad economically.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah no, I mean, look this is where we are.
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, just do two seconds on
Speaker 1: the deportation squad. You don't have enough people working jobs, right,
Speaker 1: You're at almost full employment. You need people to work jobs.
Speaker 1: The reason wages are going up is because there are
Speaker 1: not enough people to work at these jobs. You're going
Speaker 1: to deport ten, twenty thirty, they're just making up numbers.
Speaker 1: Now people, you can have mass deportation squads. Were are
Speaker 1: you going to put those people before you get them
Speaker 1: out of the country. You're going to put them in camps,
Speaker 1: Camps of concentrated people. You know what happened just the
Speaker 1: last time America did camps of concentrated people.
Speaker 4: Are we talking World War two?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about Japanese internment camps. This is what
Speaker 1: happens in authoritarian governments. This is not what happens in
Speaker 1: a pre republic, as people on Twitter like to tell me,
Speaker 1: not a democracy.
Speaker 4: Well, they are not interested in a free republic. And
Speaker 4: that's what the twenty twenty five report that I listened to,
Speaker 4: that you put out at video, it's chilling because they
Speaker 4: have their shit together, and their shit together is to
Speaker 4: do things like put the Justice Department completely under the
Speaker 4: president and to prosecute enemies of the state.
Speaker 1: That's us, which is you yes, what do you mean? No, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what's coming. If people don't vote,
Speaker 1: this is what's coming.
Speaker 4: You know. Every convention gets its own bounce, right, They
Speaker 4: got their bounce starting at the botched assassination tempt, which
Speaker 4: thank god it was botched. I don't know what our
Speaker 4: convention's going to look like, is what I'm saying, but hopefully,
Speaker 4: well I'll be there good.
Speaker 1: So that's before they I got go on.
Speaker 4: Sorry, no, no, no, I shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Laugh about myself being said to a camp for concentrations
Speaker 1: of people, but you know, every couple of generations we
Speaker 1: have to do that in my family. Al franken my body.
Speaker 1: I hope this cheered you up.
Speaker 4: It has slightly, just a little bit, just enough to
Speaker 4: get me through, not the whole day, but I'm gonna
Speaker 4: be fine for the next fifteen to twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: I know that, Ol, Frank, Thank.
Speaker 4: You, thank you. Mollie.
Speaker 1: Gloria Johnson is a member of the Tennessee House of
Speaker 1: Representatives and a Democratic nominee for Senate. Welcome too fast Politics, Gloria,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 7: I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 1: Gloria Johnson. You are running for the Senate against one
Speaker 1: of the worst members of the Senate. And I do
Speaker 1: not say that lately because there are a lot of
Speaker 1: stupid people in the Senate. But I really do think
Speaker 1: former Image consultant Marsha Blackburn is one of the worst.
Speaker 7: So discuss well, she's actually terrible for Tennessee. There's no
Speaker 7: question about that. Here we are in a forced birth
Speaker 7: state in Tennessee, and Marsha Blackburn believes in a central
Speaker 7: abortion band. She voted against the Violence Against Women Act.
Speaker 7: She is questioned the Griswold Versus Connecticut decision, which allows
Speaker 7: access to birth control.
Speaker 1: Because people don't want to have sex. I've been told
Speaker 1: that young people actually don't like having sex, and they're
Speaker 1: really psyched by the idea of not having birth control
Speaker 1: because they don't need it. It's fine that they just
Speaker 1: stop having.
Speaker 7: Sex, yeah, exactly. And then, of course we have this
Speaker 7: presidential candidate in the Republican Party and his VP. So
Speaker 7: we've got the presidential candidate who is a sexual predator,
Speaker 7: We've got a VP candidate who believes women should stay
Speaker 7: with their abusers, and then we've got a woman who
Speaker 7: believes enforced birth and is against the Violence against Women Acts.
Speaker 7: We're setting up just horrible situation for women and girls
Speaker 7: in Tennessee. I can't imagine the outlook. I'm just horrified
Speaker 7: at what it's going to be like for Tennessee women
Speaker 7: if this were to happen. It's just outrageous. It's the
Speaker 7: trifecta of women haters. It's unbel You know, when Marsha
Speaker 7: goes around asking people what is a woman? I guess
Speaker 7: he truly needs to know.
Speaker 1: Can you do me a favor here and explain to
Speaker 1: me you are in Tennessee. It is a red state,
Speaker 1: but it's a straight filled with interesting and smart people,
Speaker 1: and you've also had a very fucked up state house.
Speaker 1: Talk to us about your viral moment and for the
Speaker 1: people who don't know and sort of the world in
Speaker 1: which you really became one of the key voices in
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party of Tennessee.
Speaker 7: Sure. Well, it was after the Covenant School shooting and
Speaker 7: thousands and thousands of people showed at the Capitol every
Speaker 7: day because they wanted to talk about gun sence legislation
Speaker 7: because they're tired of children being gunned down in their classrooms.
Speaker 7: They showed up. It was students, it was parents, it
Speaker 7: was grandparents, it was people from Nashville, but also those
Speaker 7: from Memphis. Came who were concerned about gun violence, from Knoxville,
Speaker 7: from every part of the state, because they all wanted
Speaker 7: to unify on this fight against gun violence in our communities,
Speaker 7: and our legislature refused to do anything. As a matter
Speaker 7: of fact, on the day that we went to the well,
Speaker 7: me and my two colleagues were at Pearson and reut Jones.
Speaker 7: I hadn't gotten there early that morning and met many
Speaker 7: mothers who told me they had dropped off their kids
Speaker 7: at school and just hoped that they would be safe
Speaker 7: when they met them at the bus or pick them up.
Speaker 7: That's how parents were feeling. They were just traumatized from
Speaker 7: this event. And then when we go on to the
Speaker 7: house floor, our colleagues didn't even look at them as
Speaker 7: they passed through the crowd to go inside. They wouldn't
Speaker 7: even make eye contact with them. And then we weren't
Speaker 7: allowed to speak, to recognize that they were there and
Speaker 7: to welcome them and to tell them that we saw
Speaker 7: them and we heard them, and we cared about this issue,
Speaker 7: and we cared about the safety of our communities, and
Speaker 7: so we decided to go to the well anyway to
Speaker 7: speak to these people who had come to the capitol
Speaker 7: day after day by the thousands. They deserve to be addressed.
Speaker 7: We needed to talk about their issue, and we just
Speaker 7: felt compelled to go to the well and let them
Speaker 7: know that we saw them and we heard them.
Speaker 1: So this is about gun.
Speaker 7: Violence, yes, And what we have been seeing for the
Speaker 7: longest time, of course in Tennessee is that they are
Speaker 7: completely removing our right to speak on the House floor
Speaker 7: when it's against something that they believe in. They don't
Speaker 7: allow us to speak on bills, they shut our mics down,
Speaker 7: they don't call on us. I mean, it's true democracy
Speaker 7: dies in the state, and it's dying in Tennessee. And
Speaker 7: what that did was just open it for the world
Speaker 7: to see, for the country to see people who lived
Speaker 7: in blue states but didn't really understand what it was
Speaker 7: like in a super majority legislature, and they got to
Speaker 7: see it firsthand and they were disgusted.
Speaker 1: So explain to us what that means. So you're in
Speaker 1: a state legislature. You're in the minority, and they just
Speaker 1: won't let you talk.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I like, I stood for forty five minutes
Speaker 7: with my hand raised and not gotten called on. It's
Speaker 7: just unbelievable. You know, when we had a super majority
Speaker 7: in my first session, which was in twenty thirteen, Beth
Speaker 7: Farewell as speaker, and she was a Republican, yet she
Speaker 7: didn't cut mikes and she allowed people to speak when
Speaker 7: they raised their hand. This crew of MAGA men just
Speaker 7: don't want to hear opposition speak. They're so afraid, I
Speaker 7: think of the legislation they're bringing that a full debate
Speaker 7: on the horrible legislation that they're bringing to the floor
Speaker 7: would embarrass them. They passed things quickly and as quietly
Speaker 7: as possible because they can't with a super majority.
Speaker 1: So what are the legislations they're trying to pass here?
Speaker 7: Of course, there's anti diversity, you know, DEI is just
Speaker 7: a dirty word in the legislature. It was crt. They
Speaker 7: passed laws that K twelve and college can't discuss divisive concepts.
Speaker 1: Right, college just take a bit into college college can't.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's also just ridiculous. These people have phones right,
Speaker 1: I mean, go on.
Speaker 7: These people, they're just super confused. It's not divisive to
Speaker 7: talk about racism. Being racist is divisive. They don't understand that.
Speaker 7: They think it's okay to be racist, but talking about
Speaker 7: racism is the thing that's divisive. I mean, they're constantly
Speaker 7: sending dog whistles. That's why we have Nazis marching in
Speaker 7: Nashville for the last two months. One group that's supposedly
Speaker 7: going to be there for two weeks.
Speaker 1: Now, wait, you have Nazis marching in.
Speaker 7: Nashville, literal Nazis caring Loustica flags and they spoke at
Speaker 7: the Nashville Metro Council this week. It's outrageous, but they
Speaker 7: feel like they have an open invitation. Their message is
Speaker 7: the same as the Supermajority and Marsha Blackburn. Their message
Speaker 7: is anti immigrant. That's what they're chanting is they walk
Speaker 7: through the streets literally. It's like the Supermajority and the
Speaker 7: Tennessee Republicans like Marsha Blackburn have just given them an
Speaker 7: open invitation. They feel welcome in Tennessee because of the legislation.
Speaker 7: We bring the anti LGBTQ legislation to the tune of
Speaker 7: something like twenty four bills in one session. It's outrageous.
Speaker 1: It's funny because it's like, I think about what happened
Speaker 1: after January sixth, Right like, on January sixth, we had
Speaker 1: Trumper's doing a similar thing, right like marching through Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: And I have certainly been in New York when we've
Speaker 1: seen Nazis march here, because we've certainly seen that. But
Speaker 1: two weeks of Nazis seems like a lot.
Speaker 7: Just a lot of time with Nazis, and I haven't
Speaker 7: really paid as close attention, but I do believe that
Speaker 7: they actually there was a bartender in Nashville beat up
Speaker 7: with one of their swastika flagpoles. This particular group that
Speaker 7: is there likes to engage people and get them to fight.
Speaker 7: I'm told this is just not who Tennessee is. And
Speaker 7: with the leadership that we have, with someone just xenophobic
Speaker 7: and racist talking NonStop and with this anti immigrant stuff,
Speaker 7: is just really making it a safe place for these
Speaker 7: folks when the majority of Tennesseeans do not want this.
Speaker 7: That's the problem. Marsha Blackburn voted against capping insulin prices
Speaker 7: in the state with the highest incidents of diabetes she
Speaker 7: voted against the child tax credit, she voted against negotiating
Speaker 7: drug prices for seniors. She voted to repeal the ACA
Speaker 7: every time it came up. She's done nothing for regular
Speaker 7: Tennessee families, just hard working Tennessee families. She works for
Speaker 7: the wealthy and well connected, and she works for the lobbyists.
Speaker 1: It's so insane. What's it like on the ground in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Do voters understand what's happening?
Speaker 7: Well, voters do understand what's happening. And that's the really
Speaker 7: great thing. Since over a year ago when we went
Speaker 7: to the well and they tried to expel me, but
Speaker 7: did expel my two colleagues, Rep. Jones and Red Pearson,
Speaker 7: who were black, There's been a movement that is happening,
Speaker 7: and it's bringing people to the Democratic Party to our
Speaker 7: values because Tennesseeans are overwhelmingly now eighty percent want some
Speaker 7: type of gun sense legislation like universal background checks or
Speaker 7: safe storage laws or URPO laws. They want these things
Speaker 7: to happen. They want to keep their communities safe. Eighty
Speaker 7: percent of Tennesseeans want to see some form of abortion here.
Speaker 7: We don't all agree on exactly where that line is.
Speaker 7: But they don't believe we should force ten year olds
Speaker 7: to carry pregnancies, or that women who have health issues
Speaker 7: should be able to make that decision based on their health,
Speaker 7: and that no woman should be forced to carry her
Speaker 7: violent rapist baby. I mean, we give more rights to
Speaker 7: a rapist in forcing a woman to carry their child
Speaker 7: than we give to a woman who's a victim of
Speaker 7: a violent front.
Speaker 1: Well they're men, you know. Well yeah, but that's absolutely
Speaker 1: true and really important. So here's my question for you,
Speaker 1: is Tennessee, like Kansas, have they created a world in
Speaker 1: which their laws are so extreme that they drive soccer
Speaker 1: moms to vote Democrat people? Who? I mean, do you
Speaker 1: think that's what's happening on the ground right now?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 7: I know what's happening. I had fifty Republicans in might kickoff.
Speaker 7: That's never happened before. I know that right now. Currently,
Speaker 7: in the last Vanderbilt Pole, which is a couple of
Speaker 7: weeks ago, I'm beating Marshall with women forty nine to
Speaker 7: forty three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because women hate this because it's so stupid.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, and so in the overall I'm not that far behind.
Speaker 7: And this last time she dropped two points. I increased
Speaker 7: by four. If that happens again, I'm in the league.
Speaker 7: I'm out performing Biden by eleven points. So what we're
Speaker 7: seeing on the ground is people who are fed up.
Speaker 7: I've got people coming to me all the time. I
Speaker 7: had a couple come to one of my I'm going
Speaker 7: to all ninety five counties. I think it's important to
Speaker 7: talk and to listen to everyone in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: But also that's how you win. It's bay going all
Speaker 1: ninety five counties.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and a couple come up, and you know, they
Speaker 7: said that they had been Republicans their whole lives, they'd
Speaker 7: never even donated to a candidate, but they donated to me,
Speaker 7: and that they were voting Democratic this year. And I
Speaker 7: always ask people when they come, you know, from the
Speaker 7: other party or from independent or Republican, what brought them there?
Speaker 7: And they said, well, we're Evangelicals, and You're like, WHOA,
Speaker 7: we're evangelical Christians and we do not believe that the
Speaker 7: Republicans are representing those Christian values. And I was like wow. Typically, though,
Speaker 7: ninety percent of the time, somebody who comes to the campaign,
Speaker 7: it's typically because when I ask them the questions, it's
Speaker 7: usually dobs and gun violence is what they said. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and then next to that is probably the hatefulness and
Speaker 7: divisiveness of my party.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Louisiana, which is not that far from you,
Speaker 1: but is a very different state. There was recently a
Speaker 1: report that came out from Rise Louisiana, which is a
Speaker 1: group that talks about abortion rates, and one of the
Speaker 1: things that they noticed was that in these states that
Speaker 1: are forced birth states, they do not have adequate medical
Speaker 1: care for women in the first trimester.
Speaker 7: Talk about that, Oh, there's no question. In Tennessee. One
Speaker 7: third of Tennessee has no obgyn none and then more
Speaker 7: than a third has no delivery room. So we're talking
Speaker 7: about forcing a ten year old to carry a pregnancy
Speaker 7: that may be an hour, two an hour and a
Speaker 7: half away from a hospital. And we know that children
Speaker 7: who are pregnant diet two times the rate of women
Speaker 7: who are pregnant, and Tennessee we go back and forth
Speaker 7: between number one, two, and three in maternal mortality. So
Speaker 7: we're putting women and girls at risk with this. And
Speaker 7: then on top of that, since dobbs obgyns wanting to
Speaker 7: do their residency have dropped coming to Tennessee, our applications
Speaker 7: for residents in OBGYN have dropped twenty one percent because
Speaker 7: if you want to be at OBGYN, you can't get
Speaker 7: the full practice there, so you have to do Tennessee
Speaker 7: plus another state so you can get the rest of
Speaker 7: your practice to be certified. So obviously people were choosing
Speaker 7: to go to a state where they can stay in
Speaker 7: one place. And what we know about residence is the
Speaker 7: majority of them stay where they did the residency. So
Speaker 7: what we're doing is creating this vast you know, it's
Speaker 7: going to be a loss of Obgyan's where we already
Speaker 7: have a problem, you know, every year that follows no exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, this is the thing that Republicans are
Speaker 1: doing to their red states, right. They're making it so
Speaker 1: that you're not going to have doctors that you need.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 7: Right, And what they don't even understand. I was talking
Speaker 7: to a friend of mine the other day. Her daughter
Speaker 7: is finishing up her residency in some very specialized cardiology
Speaker 7: field and she doesn't even want to come to see Tennessee.
Speaker 7: She wanted to come back to Tennessee, but she's not
Speaker 7: going to come because she doesn't want to practice here
Speaker 7: because of the way they're coming after physicians, whether it's
Speaker 7: with interocrinologists, with transgender treatments, anything.
Speaker 1: It's so funny. It's not funny, but it's funny. It's
Speaker 1: funny because it's odd. Is that, Like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: someone who had two pregnancies, one of twins, and I
Speaker 1: have seen just how they're perilous, right, I mean, pregnancy
Speaker 1: is yeah, perilous. Here we have these Republicans who they
Speaker 1: just don't care.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 7: We have one member in our state house that literally
Speaker 7: told a woman she came to him to tell her
Speaker 7: about her miscarriage and how she had to go out
Speaker 7: of state to take care of this, and how she
Speaker 7: had to leave behind her child and her husband, and
Speaker 7: so that her husband had to take care of her
Speaker 7: child so she had to go by herself. And he goes,
Speaker 7: you already have a child, and she said yes, and
Speaker 7: he said, well, you can only have a miscarriage on
Speaker 7: your first pregnancy.
Speaker 1: I mean, morons, That's what it is, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing is that that's how we got here,
Speaker 1: is that they don't understand women's health. Then they don't
Speaker 1: want to talk to me about what you need right
Speaker 1: now to win.
Speaker 7: Oh well, what we need are people to get out
Speaker 7: and vote. Here's what we know in twenty eighteen, Marsha
Speaker 7: won by two hundred thousand votes. That we know that
Speaker 7: there are three hundred thousand Democrats who haven't gone to
Speaker 7: the polls in the last few cycles because they feel,
Speaker 7: you know, sort of beat down or that their vote
Speaker 7: doesn't count. So we're getting those people out to vote.
Speaker 7: We need to get everyone out. But in order to
Speaker 7: do that, we need volunteers, we need donations. Campaigns cost money,
Speaker 7: that's the reality of it, and so we need to
Speaker 7: get raised enough money to get our message out on
Speaker 7: all media markets across the state. Marsha's been in DC
Speaker 7: for twenty one years, hasn't done a thing for the people,
Speaker 7: but her name is well known and like I said,
Speaker 7: twenty one years and so we've got some catchup to
Speaker 7: do in the media and just getting our word out there.
Speaker 1: Gloria, I really appreciate you. I think of you as
Speaker 1: really doing the good work here and it's so important.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll come back before the election.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, thank you so much for having me on. I
Speaker 7: really appreciate it.
Speaker 4: They're all no more perfect on Jesse Cannon, Mali Joung
Speaker 4: Fast I'm going to shock you here.
Speaker 3: The media is buying the bullshit and the messaging.
Speaker 4: What are you seeing here?
Speaker 1: It's weird to watch this RNC, which was filled with
Speaker 1: people who have either done time or gotten pardons, people
Speaker 1: like Peter Navarro. We got Paul Manafort walking around. We
Speaker 1: have a speaker two nights ago whose parents were arrested
Speaker 1: for tax fraud. You know, the theme of this year's
Speaker 1: RNC is getting away with crimes, and you know, Trump
Speaker 1: is perhaps the real star of this getting away with crimes.
Speaker 1: But my fuckery involves some mainstream media's wrapped attention and
Speaker 1: inability to describe these people as they are. A lot
Speaker 1: of these people are criminals, right, people who've been charged
Speaker 1: with crimes, people who sat through jury trials and were
Speaker 1: found guilty, people like Donald Trump, and we should call
Speaker 1: people what they are. It's not partisan to describe things accurately.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's partisan to not describe things accurately, and
Speaker 1: that is why this is our omen of fuckery. That's
Speaker 1: it for this episode of Fast Politics. Tune in every Monday,
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday to hear the best minds in politics.
Speaker 1: Makes sense of all this chaos. If you enjoyed what
Speaker 1: you've heard, please send it to a friend and keep
Speaker 1: the conversation going. And again thanks for listening.
