Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central, from.
Speaker 2: The most trusted journalist at Comedy Center is America's only
Speaker 2: source for news. This is the Daily Show with.
Speaker 3: Your host John do baby Well.
Speaker 4: Got to show.
Speaker 2: My John Short.
Speaker 1: We got a grade boy Tonight our guest on the
Speaker 1: program this evening coming to Tim Walls.
Speaker 2: Democratic nominated.
Speaker 1: The FIRS just two weeks until the election, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say this, I don't like it. We've officially entered
Speaker 1: into the fever dream portion of the campaign. Right is left,
Speaker 1: up is down? The Republican nominee is hanging out in
Speaker 1: a Bronx barber shop, and the Democratic nominee is hosting
Speaker 1: some sort of book club with Liz Cheney. What the fuck?
Speaker 1: That's a Cheney. What are you doing with the Cheney?
Speaker 1: And I want to hang with the Cheney there, Marvel,
Speaker 1: you're DC. You can't be in the same movie. It's
Speaker 1: a rights issue and no one likes them.
Speaker 5: And here's the worst part.
Speaker 1: The Cheneys have somehow synked up their circuit tree directly
Speaker 1: to the Madame Vice President right at the same time
Speaker 1: they got their lives. They move as one. It is
Speaker 1: so surreal. This campaign cannot get any weirder. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: So my first day at McDonald's. I'm looking for a job.
Speaker 6: So if you don't mind, I want to work the
Speaker 6: French fry counter.
Speaker 1: Give him the job, I implore you don't. I don't
Speaker 1: care if these references don't shake out. Save democracy. Give
Speaker 1: him the job now. Kamla Harris is out there sweating
Speaker 1: the details over her new opportunity economy. Trump's just out
Speaker 1: there farting around.
Speaker 7: I love so wait a minute, I spilled some just
Speaker 7: I'm very superstitious. You take it for granted, you say,
Speaker 7: give me French fries. I'll never forget this experience. I
Speaker 7: always figured somebody stuffs them in with a hand, and
Speaker 7: I don't like that. And they don't do it that way.
Speaker 2: You never touch them.
Speaker 7: It's really great.
Speaker 1: Forrest gumph, What are we talking about her? For decades
Speaker 1: that you've been eating a McDonald's. You thought the fries
Speaker 1: come out of the boiling oil, and the workers making
Speaker 1: that sweet sweet four twenty five an hour just reach
Speaker 1: in and go.
Speaker 2: Just with their hands.
Speaker 1: Well do you think that's how the burgers get what? Oh?
Speaker 2: God, someone order ice cream?
Speaker 1: Oh that's his whole campaign right now?
Speaker 2: Are they?
Speaker 1: Maria dance party. I'm gonna deport everybody football tailgate. Blame
Speaker 1: the Jews if I lose McDonald's drive through. He's out
Speaker 1: there having the time of his life. And the poor
Speaker 1: sweet media, oh poor sweet media. They know they're mad,
Speaker 1: they're just not exactly sure which thing they should be
Speaker 1: maddest about anymore. But I can tell you one thing, media,
Speaker 1: It probably shouldn't be the McDonald's thing.
Speaker 8: This was entirely staged.
Speaker 2: There was a fake customer.
Speaker 8: Yes, he is so inept at pretending to be a
Speaker 8: real person that he really literally cannot operate the fry
Speaker 8: machine as normal worker because he be incapable of doing so.
Speaker 1: What Hey, what a peasant's counterpoint. Look, I'm all for
Speaker 1: criticizing Donald Trump, and I gotta tell you I also
Speaker 1: don't know how to work the friar at McDonald's and
Speaker 1: would be incapable of doing so. For at that point
Speaker 1: of the campaign, it's a fever pitch. We can no
Speaker 1: longer discern the noise from the signal. We've lost the
Speaker 1: ability to understand what level of outrage to even demonstrate,
Speaker 1: which brings us to this weekend, where the absurdity outrage
Speaker 1: cycle reached its Apex at a Trump campaign in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: and I'm.
Speaker 6: Gonna tell him the real story of Arnold.
Speaker 2: But Arnold Palmer was all man.
Speaker 1: And I say that in all.
Speaker 2: Due respect to women, and I love women.
Speaker 7: But this guy, this guy, this is a guy that
Speaker 7: was all man.
Speaker 2: His man was strong and tough. And I refused to
Speaker 2: say it. But when he took showers with the other
Speaker 2: pros they.
Speaker 6: Came out of there, they said, Oh my god, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 4: I want to Donald Palmers so bad.
Speaker 1: I want to. First of all, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: fact check the former president, but Arnold Palmer wasn't all man.
Speaker 1: It's half man, half lemonade. Now if I like, none
Speaker 1: of that is true, but it is true. Apparently every
Speaker 1: time Arnold Palmer came out of the shower, the other
Speaker 1: golfers were like, oh, talk about a dog leg. That
Speaker 1: is a par Wow, you're gonna need a caddy. But
Speaker 1: the question, ladies and gentlemen, is not whether or not
Speaker 1: Arnold's Palmer is being fitted for the green jacket. It's
Speaker 1: whether the media will performatively take the bait.
Speaker 8: This was not just crude and obscene, but it was
Speaker 8: incompletely inappropriate vulgar lude.
Speaker 4: This is not presidential.
Speaker 9: It's just really the closing message you want voters to
Speaker 9: hear from Donald Trump's stories about Arnold Palmer's peenus, not one.
Speaker 10: Not three, but ten minutes talking about another man's genitalia.
Speaker 1: It's very serious. I apologize. That's what is the appropriate
Speaker 1: amount of time.
Speaker 2: Three minutes.
Speaker 1: I can understand ten minutes into you problem. But I
Speaker 1: do get there is a double standard player. You imagine
Speaker 1: if Kamala Harris held a rally and' like Billy Jean
Speaker 1: King hoo vagina Wow, She'd come out of the shower
Speaker 1: and all the other tennis players would out hello.
Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, ask your parents.
Speaker 1: That would be madness. But for Trump this was actually
Speaker 1: one of his milder genital rants. This was kind of
Speaker 1: his kids bop genital's rerant, classy body positive. He was
Speaker 1: complimenting somebody else. I don't know why we have to
Speaker 1: parse everything that this guy says so sternly.
Speaker 4: We have two enemies.
Speaker 6: We have the outside enemy and then we have the
Speaker 6: enemy from within. And the enemy from within, in my opinion,
Speaker 6: is more dangerous in China, Russia and all these countries.
Speaker 1: Hey, who wants fries.
Speaker 2: On a pumpad.
Speaker 6: We have some very bad people. We have some sick people,
Speaker 6: radical left lunatics, and I think they're the and it
Speaker 6: should be very easily handled by if necessary, by national
Speaker 6: God or if really necessary, by the military.
Speaker 1: You're not fun at all. That's not fun loving and mischievous.
Speaker 1: It sounded quite threatening. That's actually worthy is some real examination.
Speaker 1: And all the Republicans who have talked about having fun
Speaker 1: at Trump's rallies, I'm sure they'd express concerns about this
Speaker 1: type of rhetoric.
Speaker 9: What I want to just make very clear is that
Speaker 9: it's my belief that what former President Trump is talking
Speaker 9: about are the people that are coming over the border,
Speaker 9: that in fact are committing crimes, that are bringing drugs,
Speaker 9: that are trafficking humans. That is what I believe the
Speaker 9: president is referring to. I don't think that he's referring
Speaker 9: to elected people in America.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, good because okay, okay. Because I was
Speaker 1: worried because it did sound bad the way that he
Speaker 1: had said it, I probably wasn't thinking clearly, you know,
Speaker 1: But just to make sure that that is what he meant,
Speaker 1: Let's give the former president himself a chance to clear
Speaker 1: up that he's really talking about drug and human traffickers
Speaker 1: coming across the border, and obviously not elected officials.
Speaker 6: Adam Shiftischeff, who's a total sl is going to become
Speaker 6: a senator. But I call him the enemy from within.
Speaker 11: But just just shifty shift right, And it is the
Speaker 11: enemy from within, and they're very dangerous.
Speaker 6: The more difficult, are you know? The Pelosis? These people,
Speaker 6: they're so sick and they're so evil.
Speaker 1: Are you out of your mind? The former Speaker of
Speaker 1: the House is the enemy within? Well, I bet Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is about to get an earfull from the current
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, who will, despite his support of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, still have the courage to I'm kidding, just rolling.
Speaker 1: What he's talking about is marauding gangs of dangerous, violent
Speaker 1: people who are destroying public property. Ah. Yes, Adam Schiff
Speaker 1: and Nancy Pelosi, famous capos in the Salvadoran Gang ms NBC,
Speaker 1: Where's the we the people? Constitution? First outrage? Here he's
Speaker 1: talking about treading on you. You always waived it. Don't
Speaker 1: tread on me flag, This is treading.
Speaker 5: You are a decorated veteran.
Speaker 1: How would you feel about deploying against Adam Schiff?
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think.
Speaker 1: That's what he said, John, I think you're connecting some
Speaker 1: dots there. It's exactly what he said, not dots, words,
Speaker 1: We're connecting words through the ear holes with the listening.
Speaker 2: That's what he said.
Speaker 1: I understand the powerful pullarpartisanship, but from my own fucking sanity,
Speaker 1: can I get one Republican to at least acknowledge that
Speaker 1: Trump said the thing that he is repeatedly saying.
Speaker 2: Look, Trump speaks in hyperbole. This is nothing new.
Speaker 7: He's not talking about attack, using the military to attack
Speaker 7: people who disagree with them politically, or anything like that.
Speaker 2: He is literally saying that.
Speaker 1: He is literally saying that, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Literally he had said the enemy where it is like
Speaker 2: shifting shift in Pelosi.
Speaker 1: You can't just pretend that he's talking about something else.
Speaker 2: God, this is.
Speaker 1: What gets us to the ultimate problem, which is this
Speaker 1: is any of the shit Trump says real? How are
Speaker 1: we supposed to understand what's bullshit and what isn't? Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: She's gonna have an eighty page presentation on exactly how
Speaker 1: this opportunity economy's gonna function and how it's gonna be
Speaker 1: paid for. Meanwhile, the standard for Trump is emotional vicinity.
Speaker 1: Apparently it doesn't actually matter if the things he says
Speaker 1: are true, and if you try and dig down on
Speaker 1: the lies, he only gets lie.
Speaker 12: Eer When you said, and you know it's gone viral.
Speaker 12: They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. You say,
Speaker 12: you're just reporting what had been said, But why not say, now, well,
Speaker 12: look that turned out not to be true.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's true or not true.
Speaker 2: I read down to that, you don't know if it's
Speaker 2: true or not true.
Speaker 1: Now it's been the monk by well, they's sure.
Speaker 2: What about the goose?
Speaker 12: The geese?
Speaker 2: What about the geese?
Speaker 4: What happened there?
Speaker 1: They were all music? You won't what about the geese?
Speaker 4: They were everywhere during the summer.
Speaker 1: But now now that it's cold. And by the way,
Speaker 1: to all the Republican officials who seem very confident that
Speaker 1: Trump isn't being serious when talking about extreme measures to
Speaker 1: defeat his enemies, he's already tried it. Remember that day
Speaker 1: he tried to overthrow the government. And I know it
Speaker 1: didn't work, But attempted murder isn't the same thing as
Speaker 1: never tried the murder. So we are left with this
Speaker 1: surreal idea that somehow Trump's absurdity renders him benign. We
Speaker 1: dismiss his threats because of how much fun he has
Speaker 1: expounded on the length and girth of Arnold Palmer's If
Speaker 1: only there was one dystopian moment from this past weekend
Speaker 1: that encapsulates this potent tincture of clownish campaigning mixed with
Speaker 1: authoritarian foreboding. Because I know shorter clips to better on
Speaker 1: the TikTok, give me, oh, I don't know a man
Speaker 1: in an apron at a drive through a window thoughtfully
Speaker 1: considering whether or not to future coup.
Speaker 5: Talking to reporters, Trump was asked about accepting the twenty
Speaker 5: twenty four election results either way?
Speaker 12: Will you accept the results of the election?
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, if it's a fair election.
Speaker 6: Always, I would always accept them if it's got to
Speaker 6: be a fair election.
Speaker 1: First of all, how dare this reporter brazenly violate the
Speaker 1: no walking through a drive through rule? And second, how
Speaker 1: is Donald Trump in a McDonald's apron in the window
Speaker 1: of the bathroom restaurant talking about whether or not he'll
Speaker 1: overturn the popular vote real life?
Speaker 2: How is this real?
Speaker 1: Did we all die during COVID and is this some strange,
Speaker 1: surreal purgatory, or maybe AI has already sucked up the
Speaker 1: sum total of human achievement and endeavors, and what we're
Speaker 1: all experiencing are merely the crumbson detrites of human existence
Speaker 1: that AI thought, which is too weird to vacuum up.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a dream. Maybe I'm in your dream or
Speaker 1: you're in my dream. I just I have to wake
Speaker 1: myself up. Wake up, John, wake wake up way, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is the weirdest dream. Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: dancing on stage, Ave Maria just swaying. They was making
Speaker 1: fries in McDonald's and running for president. Honey, that's Trump.
Speaker 7: They're eating the dogs, they're eating the catsh.
Speaker 1: What a back. But then tell my guest tonight, here's
Speaker 1: the governant a minute, sir, and Kamala Arison's running may
Speaker 1: please welcome to Democratic nominee for Vice president, Governor Timball.
Speaker 2: Sorry, very excited, very excited.
Speaker 1: Where you win.
Speaker 4: It's nice.
Speaker 1: It must be nice. That must be unless that must
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. Now let me ask you this. Actually
Speaker 1: she called your coach. Uh. Actually, tonight I talked to you,
Speaker 1: not as the Democratic nominee for vice president. But as
Speaker 1: a football coach, my giants got their asses kicked. There's
Speaker 1: gotta be something you could do.
Speaker 5: This should have kept shake one. Play the money, pay
Speaker 5: the money, pay the money.
Speaker 1: He's right, sque Well, thank you for being here. Is
Speaker 1: this the first non swing state that you've been in
Speaker 1: in the.
Speaker 5: Ben in a couple but mostly the swing states?
Speaker 1: Mostly the swing states? Are they at any point now
Speaker 1: when you show up because you saw the reaction that
Speaker 1: you got here, you're coming into New York. We haven't seen, honestly,
Speaker 1: but I should.
Speaker 3: But right now.
Speaker 1: When you roll into Pennsylvania, are they're just like, oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 5: No, they're excited. They are excited. Well, they know how
Speaker 5: much they know what's riding on this. I know that
Speaker 5: those swing states and those counties matter. It's targeted. They're
Speaker 5: doing the work. Woke up in Saginaw, Michigan yesterday, went
Speaker 5: to a union hall in the morning. One hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty folks down there, going out on a canvas.
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to tell you right there, there's
Speaker 1: no wooing for Saginaw.
Speaker 4: It's nice.
Speaker 1: It's nice, right, that guy knows it's not woo nice.
Speaker 1: It's when you go into these these places and you know,
Speaker 1: are you speaking now? It's rallies now where they're coming
Speaker 1: to see you, Like the listening tour stuff is over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well we're still you know, get to the
Speaker 5: union halls, stop in restaurants. That's what I do is
Speaker 5: eat on this most of the time. You can tell. So,
Speaker 5: but folks are still talking. And I know it's hard
Speaker 5: to imagine there's a lot of folks still deciding what
Speaker 5: they're going to do. I think, you know, the polling
Speaker 5: says there's no undecided voters. They're watching this, they're watching
Speaker 5: this craziness that you're seeing, and then they're seeing that
Speaker 5: this is serious stuff. And so I still think there
Speaker 5: is that opportunity just to just to chat with them,
Speaker 5: tell them what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Have you met people that appear to be somebody, because
Speaker 1: what I know of people who say, oh, I'm undecided,
Speaker 1: you talk to them for thirty seconds and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're a libertarian. But it's they have what their their
Speaker 1: deal is already set up. They just sort of place
Speaker 1: themselves in this. I don't know yet have you felt
Speaker 1: but what's been an effective argument that you felt has
Speaker 1: pulled people closer to.
Speaker 5: You, Well, it's a lot of the folks I'm talking
Speaker 5: on that. They're folks that are probably they are Republicans,
Speaker 5: and they say it Republican introduces me in Omaha, he said,
Speaker 5: I can't stand with this guy anymore. That's not the
Speaker 5: Party of Reagan. This isn't freedom whatever it may be.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of those folks that are trying to
Speaker 5: find permission to get off the get off the megas
Speaker 5: stuff and move over. So they're still listening, they're finding
Speaker 5: a way.
Speaker 1: Is the concern that they have that a Harris Wall's
Speaker 1: you know, team would be too liberal or you know,
Speaker 1: is it do they point to, Oh, in Minnesota, you
Speaker 1: allowed tampons and different bathrooms and trans people were allowed
Speaker 1: to play sports, and oh my god, we're all going
Speaker 1: to be communists? Like what are they?
Speaker 5: Our children are eating breakfast or lunch?
Speaker 1: Right? But is that what is the what's the barrier?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What do you find? What do you find is the
Speaker 1: barrier to them being able to play them?
Speaker 5: For a lot of them, they'd never crossed over that line.
Speaker 5: I mean, it really is. And you can say it
Speaker 5: about you know, Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney and some
Speaker 5: of those that did show some courage to cross over.
Speaker 5: They don't agree. These are folks that were told that
Speaker 5: I'm historically Republican, I'm going to vote Republican. But they
Speaker 5: don't have a home anymore. And I think for a
Speaker 5: lot of cases they hear the noise that's out there.
Speaker 5: But that's why I'm out there talking to them. We're
Speaker 5: talking about tax cuts for middle class, talking about home ownership,
Speaker 5: talking about the one that I'll tell you really makes
Speaker 5: a difference, especially in rural areas, because it's an older
Speaker 5: population expanding home care for Medicare, and not that all
Speaker 5: of a sudden they're like, we let's ay, damn good idea.
Speaker 1: I got to tell you that may be my favorite
Speaker 1: it is that makes me my favorite policy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is mine.
Speaker 1: Because you know, when you think about you know, everybody
Speaker 1: wants to talk about it's the economy, stupid, and sometimes
Speaker 1: there is a sense that the government is not necessarily responsive,
Speaker 1: that there's a disconnect between kind of the legislators in
Speaker 1: Washington and all the lobbyists that surround them and the
Speaker 1: needs of people in their communities. Home health care, childcare,
Speaker 1: elder care, you know, education, hospitals.
Speaker 5: Rural one of those biggest issues that they don't have
Speaker 5: ambulances in rural areas in some cases.
Speaker 1: So yeah, how do you convince them that the things
Speaker 1: that will will be done in your administration will impact
Speaker 1: their lives in a tangible way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they need to feel it. I oftentimes talked about
Speaker 5: this as a teacher. You know, the Maslow's hierarchy is
Speaker 5: self actualization. You've got to have a lot of time
Speaker 5: on your hands money to self actualize. They're worried about
Speaker 5: and when they say that they're worried about the economy,
Speaker 5: believe them. They are worried about the economy or they're struggling.
Speaker 5: You can't tell them, well, inflation's down, interest rates are
Speaker 5: coming down. They need to see the tangible things that
Speaker 5: will make a difference. So talk to them what a
Speaker 5: six thousand dollars tax credit looks like as opposed to
Speaker 5: a Trump tariff that would add twenty percent. These are
Speaker 5: folks that want to find a reason to not vote
Speaker 5: for Donald Trump. We need to give them that. So
Speaker 5: I think in the midst of their hugret Yes, I said,
Speaker 5: coming out after that that opening, it is terrifying watching
Speaker 5: they're doing. But yeah, that's all distraction the Trump distraction
Speaker 5: of he is it is serious. He's not going to
Speaker 5: do You're not going to do any manufact But you know.
Speaker 1: It's interesting if I judge it from and again, New
Speaker 1: York's not a swing state, but we see the commercials.
Speaker 1: We're inundated with the commercials as well, mostly for down
Speaker 1: ballot races and things like that. But if I were
Speaker 1: to look at this as an alien stepping into this election,
Speaker 1: just from the commercials, I would think that Republicans vote
Speaker 1: on two things, stopping people from coming over the border
Speaker 1: and stopping trans people from playing sports, like those are
Speaker 1: the only two commercials that I've seen. And the Democrats,
Speaker 1: oddly enough, run on two things as well, stopping people
Speaker 1: coming in from the border. They've accepted it, like all
Speaker 1: the Democrats that are running for Congress and for other
Speaker 1: offices here in New York all talk about the border
Speaker 1: and then choice legislation, and you would think those are
Speaker 1: the only two things that are going on that anybody
Speaker 1: is talking about. So it's interesting to hear that one
Speaker 1: is one. It's more economy.
Speaker 5: Well, they ask people to rank the issues where they're
Speaker 5: at depending on where you rank it, and look, these
Speaker 5: guys figured it out early fear is a great short
Speaker 5: term motivator. I often say I supervised the high school
Speaker 5: in lunchroom. I know fear works, it doesn't, but it
Speaker 5: doesn't change behaviors. And I still believe that there's this
Speaker 5: aspirational piece and really listening to where people are at
Speaker 5: in small towns. These are not hateful people, but they're
Speaker 5: wondering where did their manufacturing jobs go. Well, Donald Trump
Speaker 5: shipped them overseas, you know, parffs and things like that.
Speaker 5: We need to make sure we're making the case that, look,
Speaker 5: here's how this is going to specifically impact you. We
Speaker 5: hear you about this.
Speaker 1: But I would think the Democrats are the one when
Speaker 1: you talk about ship shipping things overseas, you know, you
Speaker 1: would say NAFTA or free trade were the things that
Speaker 1: really hollowed out the manufacturing base. Now, investment in infrastructure
Speaker 1: and all that has brought a lot of it back,
Speaker 1: but that is kind of an albatross around Democrats. Next,
Speaker 1: which is our trade policies kind of helped this globalization.
Speaker 5: It's a fair argument, but I also think too that
Speaker 5: covid rechanged that the breaking of the change, you know,
Speaker 5: the supply chains and look, we can have fair trade.
Speaker 5: We produce more soybeans in Minnesota than we're going to eat.
Speaker 5: We need to have markets for them, but it needs
Speaker 5: to be fair making sure the jobs are here. I
Speaker 5: think that's the one thing when you talk to people,
Speaker 5: what are their aspirations? They want to have good jobs,
Speaker 5: they want to have safe communities, They wanted to have
Speaker 5: good schools, because again, these guys are going to go
Speaker 5: to voucherization of schools. Where are you going to find
Speaker 5: a private school in the town of four hundred like
Speaker 5: where I grew up? Where are you going to? Where
Speaker 5: are you going to find a hospital?
Speaker 1: You know, your Brave Naship book. Because we talk a
Speaker 1: lot about it's this red blue divide or it's these
Speaker 1: different things. What about the rural and urban divide? Because
Speaker 1: it really does seem as though policies for one group
Speaker 1: very difficult to apply to another group. And when we
Speaker 1: talk about even like with guns. You know, guns in
Speaker 1: rural America means a very different thing than guns in
Speaker 1: places where it's more densely populated.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but dead children in their schools means the same
Speaker 5: thing in rural areas. And I think that pace. Look,
Speaker 5: I understand if that's happened. I won a congressional seat,
Speaker 5: the second Democrat in over one hundred years, in a
Speaker 5: red district. Donald Trump won that district by like seventeen
Speaker 5: points in twenty six Your district my district, and I
Speaker 5: still won again. I haven't changed them, and now that
Speaker 5: district has changed, what I win that district today would
Speaker 5: be a tough race, I think, as compared to where
Speaker 5: it was. But the issues have not changed for me.
Speaker 5: And I think this issue on guns, especially being a
Speaker 5: gun owner. Responsible gun owners know that you can protect
Speaker 5: Second Amendment, but your first responsibilities those kids, and you
Speaker 5: can do red flag laws, you can do extremerist protection orders,
Speaker 5: background checks, and you can do getting assault weapons out
Speaker 5: of the streets and all that you need on the
Speaker 5: detect So, you know, I think we make a mistake
Speaker 5: on that one.
Speaker 1: One of the real first qualifications of being a vice
Speaker 1: president is obviously rifle safety. I think, yes it is.
Speaker 1: You know, I can't think of a vice president in
Speaker 1: recent memory that used the shotgun irresponsibily. Not think I
Speaker 1: was a buy I'm not right. How is that the
Speaker 1: Cheney thing? Do we really have to do that? Look?
Speaker 5: I it goes broad in that look Bernie Sanders, Dick Cheney,
Speaker 5: Taylor Swift. No, no, no, no, no, no, no one having
Speaker 5: the Cheney's on board.
Speaker 1: Nah, you can't Dick Cheney or Taylor Swift. No, Dick,
Speaker 1: we're a big tilet country to Taylor Swift to get
Speaker 1: us to invade.
Speaker 5: No, no, don't. Don't you think though that and I
Speaker 5: do this. I believe this. There is still a core
Speaker 5: group of folks out there, you know, your point being
Speaker 5: and not that. Don't tread on me the Reagan piece
Speaker 5: of this, the libertarian piece, but the constitutional piece. There
Speaker 5: are a lot of people out there. I think. I
Speaker 5: think Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney give permission to those
Speaker 5: folks who want to find a reason to do the
Speaker 5: right thing. It doesn't mean they agree with this. We're
Speaker 5: not going to take their foreign policy decisions and discussions,
Speaker 5: you know, and implement those. We're going to take their.
Speaker 2: Yes problem.
Speaker 1: Any of those.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a stressful time.
Speaker 1: Time now for you you know is your day now
Speaker 1: you wake up? Are they hitting you with? You know?
Speaker 1: What we get inundated with is the polling data and uh,
Speaker 1: the you know, they're really digging down into each thing
Speaker 1: and it is quite frankly, the twenty four hours ratchet up.
Speaker 1: I think the anxiety around all of this is that
Speaker 1: what your day is like, are you protected from that? Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, somebody's doing that. They're sending me whether it's sagging on.
Speaker 5: Then I'll be off with tomorrow. I'm really looking forward
Speaker 5: to this. We're going to be in Madison with consonant
Speaker 5: with President Obama tomorrow.
Speaker 1: You want, but we'll say to you, like, we've got
Speaker 1: the data in and today, if you don't get Betsy
Speaker 1: from outside of Bucks County by we're done.
Speaker 5: No, it's the yeah, but it's the overarching message of saying, look,
Speaker 5: we know that suburban women are deeply concerned, as they
Speaker 5: should be, and I will add to the men here,
Speaker 5: you should be deeply concerned about the choice sessions.
Speaker 2: Cool, it's less of that.
Speaker 5: My job is at this point in time to get
Speaker 5: those volunteers who are fired up and look, if you're
Speaker 5: in this mode and you can doom scroll through things
Speaker 5: and you can watch polls whatever. The antidote to that
Speaker 5: is just to make sure he's never elected again. To
Speaker 5: go out and do the work, to make sure we
Speaker 5: elect Kamala Harris action and get the work done action action.
Speaker 2: That's what my day is.
Speaker 1: How different has being on the national stage from being
Speaker 1: on Look, you've had a pretty long career, you know,
Speaker 1: in Congress, as governor. Now that you're on the national stage,
Speaker 1: has that changed your ability to do that sort of
Speaker 1: retail politicking that comes from more local things. What's been
Speaker 1: the difference?
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, I think I'm still doing it. Like I
Speaker 5: said this that I have a skill set that I
Speaker 5: know it. I said. One thing is is I told
Speaker 5: people I said, I'm not that great a debater. I
Speaker 5: was a school teacher, so I'm trained to answer questions.
Speaker 5: You know, that's not a good debating skill to answer.
Speaker 5: You don't want to admit that, But I still think
Speaker 5: that reflection. What I'm most proud of is I love this.
Speaker 5: I think it was a Wall Street Journal did it.
Speaker 5: They did the financial disclosures and they said Tim Walls
Speaker 5: might be the poorest person to ever run. But surprisingly teachers, nurses,
Speaker 5: firefighter and stuff. It does give me an in with people.
Speaker 5: It gives me an end to talk to him about this.
Speaker 5: That why do you think I'm fighting for these policies
Speaker 5: for to find benefit pension plans, the ability to form
Speaker 5: a union, to make it easier to be in a union, right,
Speaker 5: because that's where I come from.
Speaker 1: See, I mean that's a fascinating thing because it's always
Speaker 1: struck me as odd. You know. I can remember a time,
Speaker 1: and I might have been in the twenty sixteen campaign,
Speaker 1: it might have been twenty twenty where Donald Trump Junior
Speaker 1: said about his father, he's a blue collar billionaire, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm pretty sure that's not a thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 5: Think they make those Yeah, the busting it look and
Speaker 5: all the unions with us, they've got union politics that
Speaker 5: gets inside well.
Speaker 1: I have the unions, though, been more reluctant in this site.
Speaker 5: It's a they have tough politics inside those. These are
Speaker 5: folks that are directly responsible their members, and look they're members.
Speaker 5: Some of them split off. The bottom line is, how
Speaker 5: can you be with a guy who wants to bust
Speaker 5: a unions not there to make collective bargaining, the right
Speaker 5: not to make health care there?
Speaker 1: So, but that is the cognitive distance that I don't
Speaker 1: quite understand. So you're talking about some.
Speaker 5: Of those leaders that showed the courage they needed to
Speaker 5: A vast majority of union leaders showed the courage they're
Speaker 5: backing due.
Speaker 1: But you have you know, you have the truck drivers
Speaker 1: and the team stairs, and they might say, I'm pro Trump,
Speaker 1: I'm making America great, I'm putting on the heart out
Speaker 1: and all that. And he's locked in with a group
Speaker 1: that wants to bring automation to all those jobs. And
Speaker 1: I don't understand how it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's our job to do. We got to talk
Speaker 5: to folks better. We got to learn how to talk
Speaker 5: to them. We got to get out in there because
Speaker 5: that disconnected. And I always said, this is a teacher.
Speaker 5: If if my kids weren't getting the lesson a lot
Speaker 5: of them, it's probably because I wasn't teaching it as
Speaker 5: well as I needed to. So I am still of
Speaker 5: the belief that we have to do a better job.
Speaker 5: I think Kamala's message on the middle class opportunity, because
Speaker 5: you're right, we have a fifth you know, we have
Speaker 5: pages of this.
Speaker 1: Too much.
Speaker 2: It's too detailed. How hell get too much?
Speaker 5: How do you get a house? What's the tax cut
Speaker 5: look like for you? And what social security look like?
Speaker 5: We start talking to them. Look, the vast majority of
Speaker 5: union members, the vast majority of middle class folks know
Speaker 5: that so well, is.
Speaker 1: There a question? You know? In my mind, I always
Speaker 1: look at it like since Reagan, we've turned into a
Speaker 1: more of an investment economy as oppose we've turned away
Speaker 1: from kind of a labor economy. And I always wonder,
Speaker 1: if you know, we've got little things here, We've got
Speaker 1: a child tax credit, we've got some home health care,
Speaker 1: is there a bigger swing because it always seems to
Speaker 1: me that the working people, the answer to them is always, oh,
Speaker 1: you need better representation, you got to get a better union,
Speaker 1: you got to do another thing. Is there how to
Speaker 1: working people get that seat at the table where they
Speaker 1: get to participate in the shareholder economy? How come workers
Speaker 1: are not? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you you elect folks who come from the middle class.
Speaker 5: So no, like so for example, in Minnesota, it matters
Speaker 5: to people there. Now you get paid family medical leave.
Speaker 5: I know in some states you know that, but you
Speaker 5: get those types of things, and those are the things
Speaker 5: that workers are asking to have. You make it it
Speaker 5: truly is when it's easier to form a union, you
Speaker 5: take home more money, you have a better you have
Speaker 5: a better living style. And I think making sure they
Speaker 5: see that connection for the folks that are electing.
Speaker 1: And what's the proudest thing that you instituted in uh
Speaker 1: Minnesota during your time as governor?
Speaker 5: Free breakfast and lunch for kids the next tender woman
Speaker 5: they learn better out. Couple that with you know, early childhood,
Speaker 5: Couple that with paid family medical leave, whatever. And in
Speaker 5: the philosophy we have and this is what I know,
Speaker 5: common agrees. And you're either going to buy school buses
Speaker 5: and school meals or prison buses and prison meals. It
Speaker 5: makes more sense to book on the front end. You
Speaker 5: solve a lot of those problems.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we appreciate you you coming here. It's clear
Speaker 1: that a lot of our audience is undecided.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you. That guy's from Minnesota?
Speaker 1: Is that true? Oh?
Speaker 5: Saganaw? That guy's from Saga.
Speaker 1: Oh are you really from Saginaw? Yeah, no, he's not
Speaker 1: from Saginaw. While you're in New York City, any you
Speaker 1: got any plans you're going to do something? You know,
Speaker 1: people come in from the Midwestern times and they always
Speaker 1: ask me where should I go for maybe a slice
Speaker 1: of pizza?
Speaker 5: And well, you're going to all be shocked by this.
Speaker 5: I am an avid runner and I got to go
Speaker 5: in Central Park and do a run with Did.
Speaker 2: You run yeah? Is that the first time you went
Speaker 2: running in Central Park? Second time? Second time?
Speaker 5: After the debate? I went and ran in there. Did
Speaker 5: you really yeah? The next morning after.
Speaker 1: The debate you went to Central Pier.
Speaker 5: Was well, I needed that confirmation, people like, yeah, you
Speaker 5: kicked his butt, good job, you know whatever thought I
Speaker 5: needed that.
Speaker 1: You know, I lived in New York thirty five years.
Speaker 1: No one's ever given me that kind of confirmation. When
Speaker 1: I run around the park, it's a very different vibe.
Speaker 2: Where's off to next?
Speaker 1: What's what's the next? You're gonna go with Obama to Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin, johnsin and then that last two week run.
Speaker 1: What does that look at?
Speaker 5: However they send me, I'll be I'm guessing Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 5: back and forth. My wife's down in Nevada. Uh, you know,
Speaker 5: we'll be in Georgia. We were in North Carolina in
Speaker 5: North Carolina with Bill Clinton the other day too, which
Speaker 5: was great to see. And we were there on the
Speaker 5: first day of early voting and the excitement, especially young
Speaker 5: kids voting. So we'll just bounce around, get foot the
Speaker 5: rat and got well.
