00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: in d C holding down the Ford for us, Kate

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Martell of The Hill Newspapers here and Scott Pherson, democratic strategist,

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: founder of the Liberty Square Group pr firm and the

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: Blue Lab, a local political candidate incubator Scott the year

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: was you were a press secretary, a young press secretary

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: from Boston, Massachusetts, advising then Senator Ted Kennedy who had

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: served for decades, and all of a sudden, he's got

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: to go on a debate stage against a Bostonite businessman

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: out of nowhere Republican from Bain Capital, Mitt Romney. What

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: do you tell Ted Kennedy last in the that would

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: be applicable tonight to the candidates who are on stage

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: trying to fight for the future of the Democratic Party. Sure,

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: I think you know, fundamentally, obviously this is the biggest

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: stage right for presidential debate, but all debates fundamentally are

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the same. And what I'm gonna be looking for tonight,

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: and I think what we were looking for back in

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: ninety four is that we're looking for the president who's

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: on the stage tonight, someone who's going to who's assuming

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: that you can look at that person and say, I

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: can see that person being the president of the United States.

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: And in ninety four, Kennedy had been in for several decades,

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: he was really overweight. Mit Romney was young and trim

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: and looked like the future. And uh, I remember the

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: One of the big things we needed to do is

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: pick the size of the pick the podiums, because we

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: wanted it to be quite a large podium so that

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: he could stand behind it and they would minimize the difference. Wow.

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: But Kennedy really, you know, he got it and and

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: it was it was the closest the polls had been

46
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: and um, and he really schooled. I think that's a

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: general consensus mid Romney. UM. And so that's how you

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: beat a young upstart absolutely school them. You school them.

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Let's see if Joe Biden does that. And it's relatable

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: if you're Joe Biden and you're up against Pete Buddha Jedge,

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: or if you're Bernie Sanders and you're up against Pete

52
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: Buddha Jedge and you're talking to working class voters around

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: this country who have been hammered since two thousand and eight,

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: regardless of which party you blame which, regardless of which

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: people you blame for that hammered by that that resonates

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: when a young guy comes out of nowhere and tries

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: to take your place. It's always those moments. I think,

58
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: you know, we remember it from from from debates pass

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: going back to Ronal Reagan. This is my microphone. Mr Green.

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: It's those times where you think that I get it,

61
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing I've been waiting for. And I

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: think people might be tuning into this debate tonight not

63
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: really knowing what they're looking for. And um, I think

64
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: it's the it's the job, having having been in these

65
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: rooms with with the minor more minor offices, where you've

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: got to distinguish yourself out on the out on the stage,

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: and we're looking for contrasts. We want to see contrast

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: between candidates. You know, Scott, I'm so grateful that you're

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: here because I could talk Kennedy stories all day and

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: I've got you for another hour tonight. So let's go

71
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: to Kate Martel shere course is a reporter at the Hill.

72
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: You grew up in New Hampshire. What is the mode?

73
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: What are you as you're back home? What are you noticing?

74
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: This race? Teams incredibly fluid, the Mommouth University Pole, the

75
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: electorate still saying that they're undecided. I mean New Hampshire.

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: I take their job very seriously. Kate, Oh, we love it.

77
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: This is our time once every four years. Everyone comes up. Um,

78
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: but yes, I think I've been talking to neighbors and

79
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: people at the grocery store and everyone we run into,

80
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: and so many people are still undecided. And for the

81
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: people that I've talked to, it kind of puts people

82
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: into two categories. One, I'd say they're the Bernie Sanders supporters.

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: When you ask them why they like Bernie Sanders, they

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: rattle off five or six different policy areas that they like.

85
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: The other bigger category is people who just want to

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: beat Trump and they don't know who they want to support,

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: but they just know who is the candidate that can

88
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: actually be the president. So all these people are still

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: trying to kind of game the system, and that's why

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: these people want to see what's going to happen tonight.

91
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: Is there some contrasting point? Right? And these people are independence.

92
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: We know from the report that we just put out

93
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: today for the first time, and you know this from

94
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: being up in New Hampshire, there's going to be as

95
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: many independent voters in the Democratic primaries are going to

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: be Democrats. How do you figure that? Why is the

97
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: rules today that independents can vote? Well, it's it's I'm

98
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: from Chusetts, it's kind of maybe it's a Northeast thing

99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: where the unenrolled voters in Massachusetts or a majority as

100
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: well over the Democratic Republican Party. I think there's this

101
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: independent streak here. We want to be independent. I think

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: there's a frankly a weakness in the Democratic Party and

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: so most people feel that they can, you know, kind

104
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: of hang off. These I think are largely Democratic leaning

105
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: UM voters, particularly from our our polling shows in presidential years.

106
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: Were the Republican as the president the vote here, I

107
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: would be shocked if it wasn't really really robust and

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: maybe record breaking UM and those A because there's way

109
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: more independence in New Hampshire than they were twelve years ago.

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: And uh and frankly a lot of them were from

111
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Massachusetts who maintained that independence of Patriots fans. Anyway, I

112
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: need a I need a cup of clam New England

113
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: clamp showder. I still haven't had any showder since I've

114
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: been up here. Uh, Mattie Dubbler, let's go down to

115
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: d C. Strong week for the president in terms of

116
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: job numbers. I don't want you to talk jobs yet.

117
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up, but I do want

118
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: you to talk about just as from from what you're

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: hearing from your Republican friends about you put it in

120
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: context for us, the i with the bacle, Troy Price,

121
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: the chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party, and then the

122
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: president getting acquitted. What are you hearing from Republicans down there?

123
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: And d C Well, I think you heard from Cayton

124
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Scott both. They touched on the tension here that benefits

125
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: Republican and really puts Democrats at a disadvantage, which is

126
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: that each Democrat on that stage tonight is funding a

127
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: multifront war. The one benefit of coming out of Iowa

128
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: wind loser draw was that there at least would have

129
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: been somewhat of a hierarchy, right, and so that if

130
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: you're a candidate, you're one year, two year three, you

131
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: at least know who you're punching. It is now it

132
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: is still a wide open field and it is very

133
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: very difficult Kate mention those two buckets, that one bucket

134
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: being who can beat Trump. It is so difficult for

135
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: these guys to be to be talking about Trump right

136
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: now because of the good economic data. I mean this week,

137
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: not just the jobs report today, We've had gangbuster economic

138
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: data day in and day out. The picture for the

139
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: President looks really really positive and really really strong. So

140
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat going into New Hampshire and you

141
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: don't even know who you need to be pointing your

142
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: fire out in the Democratic primary, you're gonna have a

143
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: really hard time trying to mount a contrasting vision with

144
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: the President, much as everyone else who sharing that stage

145
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: with you. You're so right about that, Maddie. And I

146
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: think the Canada that comes to mind that's going to

147
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: be the most interesting there is former Vice President Joe Biden.

148
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: He came in fourth in Iowa and this is now

149
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: his This has to be if he doesn't come in

150
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: the top two in New Hampshire, and I think top

151
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: two only if Bernie Sanders likely possibly Warren one of

152
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the progressives coming first. But if he doesn't come and

153
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: talk to otherwise, and his beat by any moderate, I

154
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: don't see how he even makes it to South Carolina,

155
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: which is where you know he's hoping that he can

156
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: start racking up some delegates. Scott, you know the neighborhoods

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: better than anybody but the exception, and maybe kment Mark

158
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Telkish did grow up here. I'm not gonna pretend because

159
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: she grew up here State New Hampshire is Bernie Sanders

160
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: country wife. Well, you know, I can't actually speak to

161
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: why upstate New Hampshire is, but I can tell you

162
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: this that the you know, this, this this echotomy that

163
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: we have about people wanting a candidate who's gonna be

164
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. The Bernie Sanders people think that he's their candidate.

165
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: So where the broad swath of the Democratic electorate think

166
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: that he's absolutely not the candidate who's gonna be Donald Trump,

167
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: that he's polarizing, and that he might not be moderate

168
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: enough to attract the independent voters in New Hampshire in

169
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: the general election. Um, the Bernie Sanders people are absolutely

170
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: can vinced that if we if we don't, if we're

171
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: not clear about our ideology, we're gonna lose. Coming up,

172
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk more about that economic divide. Plus the

188
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: in the break and said, Kevin, people are going to

189
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: be absolutely livid with you because you're saying chowder and

190
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: not chow. All I want is some New England clam chowder.

191
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: Maddie Doubler, you gotta drop that R a little bit more, alright.

192
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to fake it, but you

193
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: fake it? What do they say in the West Wing?

194
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: Sorkins West Wing yet Aaron Sorkin's West Wing. You fake

195
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: it till you make it I'm here with Scott Pherson,

196
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: he is the former Press secretary to the late great

197
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Senator Ted Kennedy. And Kate Martel, who grew up in

198
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. She's in New Hampshire. And you were talking

199
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: to me in the break about this neighbor's argument. You're

200
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: also a reporter at the Hill. I should probably Bobs,

201
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: don't forget that part um you're anyway, the neighboring state

202
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: argument about Bernie Sanders doing better, Elizabeth Warren doing better

203
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: because they've got the nearby states. I don't know if

204
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: I necessarily buy that. It's not like they can flood

205
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: the state with you know, crossing the border. Yeah. I

206
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: agree with you on that, Kevin. We're hearing that neighboring

207
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: state argument all the time, and all the time. I

208
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: think it's pretty bogus. I don't think that voters are

209
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire are just looking for somebody because oh

210
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: they're you know, neighboring state, were familiar with them. I

211
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: do think there might be one small point in there that,

212
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the way that New Englander's think that

213
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're like minded. But other than that, um,

214
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: I think that's it I mean, in addition to I won't,

215
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: I won't say because it's it's it's vaguely vulgar what

216
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: people in New Hampshire called people from Massachusetts. Don't I

217
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: like my job. We all know it, though. I really

218
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: don't think we need to do that, Scott. But the

219
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: people are listening that are very important. They're very want

220
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: to hear that language. You're very few different. You know,

221
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: people in Massachusetts pay pay income tax. People in New

222
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: Hampshire pay income tax because they work in Massachusetts. And uh,

223
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: the only thing wrong with people from New Hampshire is

224
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: that they drive slowly in the left hand lane on

225
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: the highway and never see the never see the lane.

226
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: To people, other than that, I think they're pretty much

227
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: like minded in terms of the way that we're voting.

228
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go there. Hopefully y'all liked me.

229
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: Mattie Duppler this argument from an economic standpoint, I was

230
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: really struck by this. I mean, we're talking about it. Yesterday.

231
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: I bumped into Jeff Weaver, who's a senior advisor on

232
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: Sanders presidential campaign here in st Anselm College st Anselm

233
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: University spin room where they're doing the ABC News Debate

234
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: and I and I asked him about that moment yesterday

235
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: where Senator Standers, at the press conference in his manchester

236
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Field office, was asked about Biden's criticism of him being

237
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: a Democratic socialist and whether or not it would all

238
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: but hand the election to Trump if Sanders was the nominee.

239
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Jeff Weavers said no. Jeff Weavers said, you know, from

240
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: an economic standpoint, it's about building a coalition. So, Maddie,

241
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: from your point as the former Republican House Community the

242
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: communications director for the House Republican Conference, tell me about

243
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: how you would interpret a Bernie Sanders nomination given that

244
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: he's a Democratic socialist. Right. Well, there's I think there's

245
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: two minds here. One is I think kind of this

246
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: um probably like this provado that you see little bit

247
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: from the Sanders camp, which is basically, well, Republicans call

248
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: Democrats socialist. Anyways, you might as well just pick up

249
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: the mantel and run with it. Uh. And I think that,

250
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little bit of truth to that,

251
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: which is that in politics, of course, the message needs

252
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: to win, and Democrats right now are wrestling with this,

253
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: which is how progressive do you have to be? In

254
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: order to break ranks with what you think the base

255
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: is telling you is broken about Washington, to stand out

256
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: and to be the nominee. Now, the other side of

257
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: that argument is that socialism, even for all the flirtation

258
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: that we've seen both in the media and potentially amongst

259
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: young people, even though I have my skepticisms about that, um,

260
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: it won't play in the United States, the Land of

261
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: the Free, Home of the brave. I mean, you guys

262
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: are in New Hampshire, Live free or die. Socialism seems

263
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: to be at odds with what we as a country

264
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: have come to know and love, regardless of what your

265
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: political stripes are. And I think that that's part of

266
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: what the debate today and the continue debate moving into

267
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: these these early primary states will be, which is what

268
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: is that vision? At the end of the day, an

269
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: election is about what is the contrast and visions. It's

270
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: pretty clear what Republicans want to offer. Donald Trump is

271
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: going to release his budget next week. It's going to

272
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: be a blueprint for what he wants to offer the country,

273
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: and Democrats are trying to figure out what their response

274
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: will be. That's very, very difficult in a primary In

275
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: a primary setting, um. You know, I will tell you

276
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: as a Republican who survived twenty six team where we

277
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: had sixteen people running for president, which it seemed for

278
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: months and months and months and months we were never

279
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna whittle that rate that that pulled down, it is

280
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: very difficult to be able to say this is what

281
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party stands for. And this is why that

282
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: contrast is important with Donald Trump. I had my doubts

283
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: that the the candidate who says socialism is the way

284
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: that we do that is going to be successful. Um.

285
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: But I do think that there is a hunger on

286
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: the Democratic side for something different, and that's why you

287
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: see someone like a Joe Biden performing so poorly in Iowa. Well,

288
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: I think we need to look I guess no further

289
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: than the two thousand sixteen race where the Republicans nominated

290
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: somebody who really wasn't a member of the Republican Party,

291
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: and the party both in the primaries and then of

292
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: course in the general election embraced that new kind of Republicanism,

293
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: if you will. That's that looks a lot like just

294
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: Trump is um uh to to me, And I think

295
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders um in some respects to the other side

296
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: of that same coin that that was the appeal. And

297
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: I think you know the statistically, there were number of

298
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders voters who voted for Donald Trump in the

299
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: general election. There's that commonality. Even though that you can

300
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: you can spend all day drawing the different contrast between

301
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: what they want to do the way they want to

302
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: do it is very appealing um to general election voters.

303
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I think the problem for Sanders is kind of twofold.

304
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: This morning at the at the Politics and Eggs breakfast,

305
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: he said we should be a big tent and if

306
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: he's the nominee, he's got to demonstrate that that that

307
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: that is. And frankly, the other part of the problem

308
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: is his people are not big tent people. They are

309
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: very much small people and they want this battle that

310
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: were sort of over the soul of the Democratic Party.

311
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: They want to remake it and um, and that's not

312
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: going to be sustainable. If you know, Republicans were very disciplined.

313
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: You could say, I think everyone at each party accuses

314
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: the other being more disciplined than they are. But Republicans, right,

315
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: but but but but they did you know they if

316
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: if I wasn't with Trump, I was a never Trump

317
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: or I ended up voting for for Trump. Democrats have

318
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: to learn that, Kevin really quick. I can jump in

319
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: your breaking news NBC New Merist, NBC News Marist poll

320
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: just released just to hatt in my inbox that Bernie

321
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Sanders and pe Boodh Jedge from main A top the

322
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Democratic field in New Hampshire just four days from the

323
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: state's primary. Sanders he's getting support from of likely Democratic

324
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: primary voters, Boodhi Jedge getting support from twenty one percent. Now,

325
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: the separation of the two candidates within the poll's margin

326
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: of error a plus for five four point seven percentage points,

327
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: and they're followed by Elizabeth Warren a four percent and

328
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: Biden at th percent. That's a two two percentage point

329
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: dip for Biden. Mind you, and uh, I just want

330
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: to I'm trying to look at this literally in real

331
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: time to see who's undecided. So we'll get to that

332
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: in a second. But you know, I mean, this race

333
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: still remains incredibly, incredibly fluid, as it would relate. The

334
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: fat news for bidicating quickly done. Who's survived him that

335
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: pole bad news for Wideness that if he didn't he

336
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: didn't do well in Iowa, he doesn't do well in

337
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. It's hard to see a path forward for him. Wow, alright,

390
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: surrounded by a bunch of like you know, these these

391
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: other reporters right out, so you might be in a

392
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: safe company, but go a few steps outside. Careful what

393
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: you say. I don't know. That's a tough industry. I'm

394
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: not sure. Are you a Pats fan, Kate? Yeah? Is

395
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: Brady gonna go to l A That would be so

396
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: much the Patriots thing to do? Call in, I want

397
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: the exclusive. Can we all agree that we just don't

398
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: like cadell a report common ground. I actually think that

399
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: I shouldn't comment on this because I think I'm getting

400
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: a little two out there with the sports talk and

401
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rein it in. We were able to get

402
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: some Pats and Eagles fans on the same side here. That's,

403
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, imagine what we can do in congress. Can imagine?

404
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you that now our's congressional candidate Republican

405
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: for the first District of New Hampshire. How are you

406
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,239
Speaker 1: How are you assessing the field as the Democrats are

407
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: trying to decide between Bernie and Bud. Yeah. Look, it's

408
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: it's a race between the left and the far left

409
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: right now, and I really don't think it matters which

410
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: candidate Democrats ultimately nominated. I think the president and his

411
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: record are so strong right now that's be tough for

412
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: any of them to beat him. But I'll tell you

413
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: I was at an event with Bernie Sanders earlier today.

414
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: I was I stopped by. I was driving by, actually

415
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: here at St Anselm's. I was literally driving by, and

416
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: so I said, why the heck, nacos see what the

417
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: socialist is gonna say? And so I I popped in

418
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: and everything I heard was everything that would totally undermine

419
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: what's happening, the progress that's happening here in New Hampshire.

420
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: What was this So you think go ahead, no intert

421
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna saying, you know, New Hampshire is record

422
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: low unemployment right now, and that's directly attributable to the

423
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: President's record as well as the record of governors New

424
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: New Um. You know, there's actually more jobs and there

425
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: are people seeking jobs right now. I don't think we

426
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: want to have a socialist revolution in the hands of

427
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders to try to undermine that. Are you at

428
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: risk of just labeling the party socialist? Socialist socialist so

429
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: that it loses its mustard or eight months from now now?

430
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: Because I think you gotta look at what that actually means. Right.

431
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: So I'll give you an example. My opponent is in

432
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: this congression races Chris Pappas he's the first term Democrat.

433
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: He's voted with AOC nine percent the time and Plosi

434
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: literally one percent the time. But what does that mean.

435
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: It means he's actually voted to taxi in or, it

436
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: means he's voted to pave the way for a national

437
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: energy tax. It means that he's saddled up with a

438
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: part of the party that wants to take away people's

439
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: rights to choose their own healthcare and put them into

440
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: some one size fits all government socialist healthcare program, which,

441
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: by the way, we have seen here in New Hampshire

442
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: when we had problems with the v A under the

443
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: Obama administration, that they couldn't even run a healthcare system

444
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: for the one percent of America's heroes, let alone for

445
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: the of everyone else. Can I ask you a question

446
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: about Trump's rhetoric because a lot of there are a

447
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: lot of independent voters in the live free your Die state.

448
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Matt Mauer's congressional candidate for Republicans in New Hampshire's first district,

449
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: who who you know? The tour because they don't like

450
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: the rhetoric of Trump. But then they might not like

451
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: the economic messaging of Sanders. What do you say to

452
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: those undecided voters. I think people are really impressed with

453
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: results at the end of the day. You know, you

454
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: talked about the facts. Look, I was at the State

455
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Department for two years, like you mentioned, under the president,

456
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: and you think about how much our our foreign policy

457
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: has changed between administrations. Right, instead of sending a bunch

458
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: of cash on a plane to a bunch of thugs

459
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: in Tehran, what were we doing. Instead, we were designating

460
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: their militia as a radical um terrorist group, and then

461
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: we were taking out the leader of that militia. We

462
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: actually turned the page on North Korea policy from a

463
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: policy of strategic patients, which I think meant strategically and

464
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: patiently waiting from the development nuclear weapon to actually engaging

465
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: with them and bring us closer peace than we's out

466
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: we've ever been. And then you look at the economic

467
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: results that we've talked about, record low unemployment four oh

468
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: one case are going up, wage growth is going up

469
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: for the first time in a generation. There's a lot

470
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: for people to, you know, really be proud of our

471
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: country right now. I don't think people want to turn

472
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: the page. Scott first, and I mean I'm not gonna

473
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: ask you. I don't want you to to debate that's

474
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: not that kind of show. But you hear that, you

475
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: hear what the Republicans are saying in the granted state,

476
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: that's a tough message debate for How do you how

477
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: did Democrats keep independent voters with the message like that? Well,

478
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this district is really, really interesting. I think

479
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: it may be the only district historically that flipped every

480
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: two years. It's a record mount and record number of

481
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: changes in party, yet it's about as uh as evenly

482
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: as as possible. And just speak from Massachusetts, not not

483
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: obviously being from New Hampshire, but you know, Governor Baker

484
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: has taken this sort of moderate tone. I think he

485
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: speaks to the electorate in Massachusetts. Um, and we're happy

486
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. Not me particularly to vote for a Republican,

487
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: but certainly a majority a couple of times in Franko

488
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: Att of Democrats voted for Charlie Baker this last go around.

489
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: And the economies and both states are really good. So

490
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: I guess the only thing I pushed back on is,

491
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of the district, does a sort

492
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: of a strident message match the electorate, but you're running

493
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: the campaign. So that's that's what you've seen, and that's

494
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: exactly I think what the race is going to be

495
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: about is that we're going to be trying to see

496
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire all these independent voters which way that

497
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: they go. And I think you're making interesting point, Kevin,

498
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: that you're saying it's a it's a tough message for Democrats.

499
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: How are they gonna try to pull in some of

500
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: these independent voters because it's not just this primary that

501
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: matters in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a purple state

502
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: now and there's so many independent voters even in Novembment,

503
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: and you know, the President actually won my district. He

504
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: won my district in because you have a lot of

505
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: people felt like they're left behind by the economy and

506
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: the economic policies and less administration and by the way

507
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: of administrations before that at both parties, um and so

508
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: now they're actually back to work, they're earning money, their

509
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: families are happy, and uh that that's going to be

510
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: what ultimately people, Is this a national election for you

511
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: or is it does it isn't local? Meaning is the

512
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: messaging much more If there's this trend down in d C.

513
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Where everyone says, oh, politics is becoming less localized because

514
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: of of what's going on, you know, with the cable

515
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: news and ever, and people are running national campaigns. But

516
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: do you have sense that when you talk to people

517
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: that they're asking you more about Trump or they asking

518
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: you more about you know, the school district. Now, I mean,

519
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: I think people are really concerned with what they're seeing

520
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: down in Congress right really. I mean, so I've been

521
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: all I only launched my campaign three weeks ago, been

522
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: all over the district. Um. I'll give you a great

523
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: example is that mary Ann's Diner and Derry just about

524
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago. What you get what

525
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: I got, the red, White and Blue special, don't yeah,

526
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: don't tell my doctor. Yesterday I got at the Red

527
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: Arrow Diner. I got on French toast. That was stuff

528
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: with sticky butts, delicious. We're not gonna rat you out

529
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: to your knocker either. I mean, hey, doc, I'm still

530
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: here in Manchester. Go ahead, so you know, I'm going

531
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: around table to table, and what folks have said to

532
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: me is that they are really concerned with what they're

533
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: seeing because they feel like their freedoms are being taken

534
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: away by Congress. You know, this is a state that

535
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: respects Second Amendment rights. This is a state that doesn't

536
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: want to have some big takeover of their healthcare plan.

537
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: And so what you're seeing is that because of the

538
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: way Congress has been acting, I think that's exascerbated if

539
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: you look at how it's acted this past week of

540
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union behind

541
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: the president. You know, they're just sick and tired with

542
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: the showmanship down there, and they want to say, say,

543
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: what the heck are they actually doing? What are they accomplishing? Um.

544
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: You know, we've wasted millions of dollars and countless hours

545
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: on these impeachment hearings. Yet they're not doing anything to

546
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: improve healthcare for veterans. They're not doing anything to lower

547
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: prescription drug prices. They're not doing anything to work with

548
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: the President on issues that matter, like building the wall,

549
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 1: which would actually stop the influxible legal drugs. All right,

550
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: you can't to mind table. I'd be like down, let's

589
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: of January. This is your quick take, This is what's

590
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: on your radar. It's your time to tell us the

591
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: jobs report. That's right, kevinet's my favorite Friday. That was amazing.

592
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: You built me up. You made me feel like I

593
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: was here in our job's day, and that's exactly what

594
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna You got to make the economic indicators interesting.

595
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: Go ahead, mad at your turn. Well, and they are interesting, right,

596
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I agree, but it's I feel

597
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: like it's my my time spent on earth is going

598
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: to be trying to convince other people that that is

599
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: the case. But the expectation was a hundred and sixty

600
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: thousand jobs, two thousand jobs added instead, blue expectations out

601
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: of the water. Uh. There were revisions for last two

602
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: months as well, which brought the three month moving average

603
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: to two thousand jobs. That's way above what we need

604
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: to keep pace with population growth. So overall employment picture

605
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: still looks really strong. That has been a hallmark of

606
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: this recovery, and particularly over the last several years, that

607
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: the employment picture continues to get better, even though the

608
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: experts tell us that they think that we're we're hitting

609
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: the peak of where we can go. So the question

610
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: continues to be how much better can this employment picture? Yet?

611
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: I come on every month and I talked about the

612
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: wage situation, whether or not those are rising, because that's

613
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: an important component of this Wages grew at three point

614
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: one percent. They dipped slightly last month down to two

615
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: point nine percent, So it's good to get that number

616
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: back above three percent. But with an employment looking as

617
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: good as it is, with so many people finding and

618
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: getting jobs, the question is why are wages not rising faster? Now?

619
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: We did see earlier this week that productivity not to

620
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: its highest increase since the last nine years, So that

621
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: might be some of the momentum that we've been missing

622
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: in these in these in these numbers that might start

623
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: increasing that wage number. So as we move into the

624
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 1: next couple of months, I would encourage people to continue

625
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: to look at that wage number. I think it will

626
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: continue to move higher. You know, I'm going to go

627
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: next just because it's kind of works with what Maddie

628
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: was just saying. So it's my it's a double quick

629
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: take on your radar. This is the first time I've

630
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: ever done that. But what's all my radar? What's been

631
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: on my radars? The coronavirus coming out of China, and

632
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: I was talking about this with Bloomberg Televisions. Jonathan Pharaoh

633
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: or a leaguer today on BTV ahead of the opening bell.

634
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: And you know, President Trump's tone towards General Secretary Shi

635
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: Jing Ping of China has been incredibly optimistic, incredibly positive.

636
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: He's been praiseworthy of China for its handling of the

637
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: coronavirus give it and then that he's saying that they're

638
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: doing a good job. And of course, you know, yesterday

639
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: I told everybody about how on February fourteenth, the Chinese

640
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: are gonna make good with lowering some of their tariffs

641
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: as they committed to doing so on the U S.

642
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: China Phase one Trade Agreement. Mattie Doppler. So, but the

643
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: President's tone continues to be positive. I'm wondering if there's

644
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: any anything in the job's report that would yet that

645
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: would suggest some uneasiness in the US domestic front for

646
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. Not yet. On coronavirus, we saw a twelve

647
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: thousand job dropped on manufacturing, but manufacturing, of course, has

648
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: continued to be weak. I would watch that number though

649
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: as well as you move into the next couple of months,

650
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: because you've got this ying in this Yang, you've got

651
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: coronavirus that is certainly going to stamp all that's gonna

652
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna siple of industrial opression in China. But you

653
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: also have phase one in the passage of U S

654
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: M c A, which you would expect to increase is

655
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: manufacturing numbers. And one more note on the coronavirus is

656
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: that because everyone's been court I mean, because of the question,

657
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: I'll be careful with my words, because of the quarantines

658
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: in China, because folks have been having to stay home

659
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: from work. Retailers have been getting pummeled in China as

660
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: a result of that, and there are a lot of

661
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: US retailers who could be impacted by folks staying home

662
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: from work. So it's in a way, it's almost like

663
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: what happens in a DC partial government shutdown, you know

664
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, So it's it's gonna again

665
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: this or stomach um. All right, Maddie, that's on your radar, Kate,

666
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: Mark tell what's your quick take on your radar? Think

667
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: what I'm watching tonight on the debate stage mostly is

668
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: that while we think we have two front runners, it's

669
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: so easy to just talk about boudage As and Bernie Sanders.

670
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: Let's not forget four years ago. This debate is when

671
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio was looking at also like a front runner,

672
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: and I think how quickly things changed with one back

673
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: and forth he kept getting hammered by Chris Christie had

674
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: the same can Chris Christie go ahead? Yes? And that

675
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: completely changed it. So I warned people that, well, it's

676
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: so easy to talk about one or two front runners.

677
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: Things so so easily changed. And that could Elizabeth Warren,

678
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: that could be, that could be Andrew Yang, who else,

679
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: Tom Styre could be. Yeah, I think Elizabeth Warren is

680
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: who someone who comes to mind, um, particularly because she's

681
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: from Massachusetts. She's you know, she really needs New Hampshire,

682
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: so she's gonna be you know, putting everything into tonight

683
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: because she doesn't do tonight, she's probably out really oh yeah,

684
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: because that past New Hampshire. So that you're saying there's

685
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of pressure for some of

686
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: these candidates to drop out after, which is why I

687
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: think that we're going to see a lot of dirty

688
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: shots tonight. And interesting just got interesting friend shout out.

689
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: Okay Scott first, and what's on your what's your quick

690
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: take on your radar? Well, I completely agree with that one,

691
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: um and uh, because you know, they're gonna go in there.

692
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: I think Elizabeth Warren and Amy klobersher loaded with things

693
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: that they have to do that are game changers I

694
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: think for them, or the road sort of ends for

695
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: both of them. But I'm gonna be looking at Pete

696
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: Buddha Cheese, particularly because he's got to He is clearly

697
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: going to go beyond New Hampshire. He's gonna be in Nevada,

698
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in states where he isn't as well known,

699
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: hasn't doesn't have the infrastructure, And I think I'd look

700
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: for him in the same way that um. You know,

701
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: we might be curious about Donald Trump running the ad

702
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: focused on criminal justice reform during the Super Bowl, and

703
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: you could say, well, he's he's reaching out to African

704
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: American voters, and really what he's reaching out to is

705
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: white UM women in in certain states to reassure them

706
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: about the stand subourbon women and UM. And I think

707
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: Buddha Chege will be just gonna see if he's forecasting

708
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: anything actually to African American voters in South Carolina that

709
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be watching him maybe for the first time,

710
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: to say we're gonna get a look at him in

711
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and he hasn't. Actually, he needs

712
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: to makes up some real room if he's gonna have

713
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: a play in South Carolina. All right, So we're all nerds,

714
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: and Maddie, I'm gonna come back to you down in

715
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: d C. But for for non I mean ever you know,

716
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: And I say that respectfully, But we also a kind

717
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: of a badge of honor. I don't the rest of

718
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: you guys, So I mean now I do not growing up,

719
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: but I say this respect of respectfully for the non

720
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: nerds out there. A three hour debate, it's a long time,

721
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: Naddie Duppler for for for folks on a Friday night

722
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: after a long week of work, three hours, you've got it,

723
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: particularly because you've got this president who always wants to

724
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: talk about ratings. Like, I don't know who else is

725
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna be tuning in for a three hour debate on

726
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: a Friday night at the end of what has been

727
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, five hundred different news cycles this week. Um,

728
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see kind of who tunes

729
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: into that. But I think all the points that have

730
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: been made around the table are really really good ones.

731
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: And I'll return the point that I made earlier, which

732
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: is that Democrats right now have got to figure out

733
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: a way to come up with a contrast not just

734
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: with them, not just with Donald Trump, but between and

735
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: betwixt all the people on that stage. And you're gonna

736
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: need at least three hours to do that. We'll see.

737
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: And that's that's the final point I'll make. And Scott,

738
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the last word here, just as

739
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: for you know, Ted, when Ted Kennedy's press secretaries are

740
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: going to show, you got to give him the last word.

741
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: So obviously, yes, But what do you I think that is?

742
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: There's been so many news cycles and you've got like

743
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: thirty seconds less than that. There's been so many news cycles.

744
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: But tell me about the importance of keeping it simple

745
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: up on that stage tonight. Oh it's it's it's absolutely

746
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: But keeping it simple. I mean, if you if you

747
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: get into too many policy wonky things, that's not what

748
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: people are gonna that's not the takeaway. You know, it

749
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: was Ronald Reagan in nineties saying it's my microphone, Mr Green,

750
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: simple message that conveyed a whole lot about who he was.

751
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: I love that, all right, keep it simple, folks, Wake

752
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: up if you're driving on there on the road. Drive safe.

753
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: I heard it was a great day in Washington, d C.

754
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: But that's all right because we are live from San

755
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: Ansel's College, where you can listen to the Make here

756
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 1: only on or you can listen to it multiple ways,

757
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: but also on from her radio. I'm Kevin Cirelli, banksaid

758
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the panel. You're listening to Bloomberg ninety nine one
