5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: would rather see a congressional solution. It's part of my DNA.

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: The Senate map in looks a lot different than it

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: looked in. You really have a divide within Team Trump.

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: The present has to do exactly what people send him

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: here to do, which is to get it done. This

10

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: to begin tonight with because Bill Gates was speaking at

35
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: a New York Times event. He was interviewed Bill Gates,

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the American business magnet, the the Guy, the rich Guy,

37
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: Principal founder of Microsoft Corporation. Bill Gates, he was speaking

38
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: at the New York Times and he was asked about

39
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren and I want to play for you what

40
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: his response was, Bill Gates on Elizabeth Warren and The

41
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: New York Times. You know, I'm not sure how open

42
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: minded she is, uh uh, or that she'd even be

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: willing to sit down with somebody you know who has

44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: a large amounts of money. That was Bill Gates speaking

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: earlier today about Elizabeth Warren at the New York Times.

46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: Had the crowd had the room laughing. My two guests

47
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: with me here in studio, Kristen Hallan from Texas and

48
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Scott Tranter from Laguna Beach and Christens the Democratic Strategist

49
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: and Scott's the looking Girl, think I found them big, um.

50
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Christen Hard you were also the previous communications director for

51
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of moderate centrist Democrats

52
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: in the House. When you hear Bill Gates talk like

53
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: that to the New York Times, you're a reaction. I mean,

54
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: I think it's obviously a joke, but there's some truth

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: to it, right. I mean, she's she's very prescriptive. I'm

56
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: not exactly sure, particularly at this point in her campaign,

57
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: whether she would sit down with somebody, um, you know

58
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: that has large amounts of money. Um. I think she

59
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: has one thing you can't say about her is that

60
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: she's not upfront with with most of her policies and

61
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: where she's going, whether you agree with her or not,

62
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: the large exception being taking a long time to describe

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: how she's gonna pay for Medicare for all, which kind

64
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: of came back to buy her and you know what, um,

65
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: But it's not surprising. I don't think she would. UM.

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people on Wall Street,

67
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of business people, are very

68
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: concerned about her policies going forward, and I'm not sure

69
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: howpe in minded she is actually. All right, So Bill

70
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: Gates is worth an estimated hundred and six billion dollars,

71
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: making him the second wealthiest man in the world behind

72
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos, the Amazon guy. Uh. He was asked. He

73
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: was asked also about the tax on the wealthy, and

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: he had he said, I'm gonna read this part. He says, quote,

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: I paid over ten billion dollars in taxes. I paid

76
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: more than anyone in taxes. But I'm glad to If

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: I had paid twenty billion dollars, it's fine. But when

78
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: you say I should pay a hundred billion, then I'm

79
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: starting to do a little math about what I have

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: left over over. I'm just kidding, I mean, Scott, he's

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: joking about it, but it really does beg the question

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: as as as Kristen has alluded to, Elizabeth Moore now

83
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: in the top tier Democratic presidential candidate, uh going to

84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: be having to to take this and sell it in

85
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: a general this is is does she have a Bill

86
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: Gates problem? Yeah? I mean, look, it's funny Bill Gates

87
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: and I believe Jeff Bezes have agreed to give over

88
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: half of their wealth away to charity things like the

89
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: Bill of Millenni Gates Foundation, um, all those things. So

90
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: in a way, they're they're they're they're providing, you know,

91
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: the services that theoretically Elizabeth Warren will promise through the

92
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: government through her taxes, and they're doing it on their

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: own terms. Um. More importantly, I mean Vice President Biden

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: said this, you know, over the weekend where he said, look,

95
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: a losing Warren seems rigid in her and how she

96
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: wants to do things my way or the highway. And

97
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: I think Bill Gates put that in a much nicer

98
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 1: tone today at the New York Times, And that's pretty

99
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: much what's in the back of everyone's head. If you're

100
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: in Middle America, Modern America, who's open to voting for

101
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: a Democrat. Um, but just wondering do you want someone

102
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: like that? I mean, And Kristin Biden, also ratcheting up

103
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: his attacks, called her a quote unquote elitist. Yeah, I mean,

104
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: so he's losing. I mean that. I mean, let me

105
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: let me just I mean, when you've got Elizabeth Warren,

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: who got today to respond to Bill Gates, a billionaire,

107
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: Bill Gates and Twitter, and she tweeted out, I'm always

108
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: happy to meet with people, even if we have different views,

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Bill Gates, if we get the chance, I'd love to

110
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: explain exactly how you'd pay under my wealth tax. I

111
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: promise you it's not a hundred billion dollars. And Joe

112
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Biden's now gotta go out and call her in elitist.

113
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure that was the right call. But

114
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: I mean on Biden, but like you know, I'm not

115
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: sure that that was the right public you know, public

116
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: comments make um. However, you know this wealth text, I mean,

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: you look at something like and I'm used Medicare for

118
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: All because it's it's such a large ticket item and

119
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: something that she has made the cornerstone of her campaign

120
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: had a very tough time coming out time on how

121
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: she paid for it. You cannot pay for it with

122
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: just a wealth tax. So this idea um that I

123
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: think a lot of people on on the far left

124
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: on my side, are brought into that as long as

125
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: you just tax the the uber wealthy, that that everything's

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, And that's actually not the case. Well,

127
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's an interesting point every time

128
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: there's a wealth tax um put out there, Like I

129
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: vaguely remember something out of New Jersey where they had

130
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: a wealth tax on people, and all of a sudden

131
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: you saw a lot of millionaires from New Jersey move

132
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: and so you start putting taxes on these people. You'll

133
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: get a little bit of revenue for a few years,

134
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Bill Gates is gonna be

135
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: resident in Canada. Yeah, I mean, I'm not. I don't

136
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: want to be liked or voting the Bill Gates moving

137
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: to Canada. Everybody. Like the former founder of Facebook, he

138
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: literally declared to sing his citizenship and singapores he didn't

139
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: have to pay us seven the greatest country on Earth,

140
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and everyone it's a privilege, seriously, and it's and I

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: always want to ask this question to people who moved,

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: would you have been able to create that company? And

143
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: without the American system. And we're talking about, you know,

144
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: the wealthiest of the wealthy. I don't want to be wealthy, right,

145
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like you know, when we're talking about um,

146
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, taxes, there is eight an extreme I mean

147
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: their extremes, right, I mean the wealthier getting wealthier and

148
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: out of the exact you know the exact numbers, but

149
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: they're they're extreme, right, So you gotta talk about you

150
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: gotta talk about that. I mean, you do have to

151
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: address it. She's addressing it. But that's why that's what

152
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Christen, because I know you

153
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: know everyone on all the different campaigns, but Elizabeth Warren

154
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: would much rather have a news cycle where she's engaging

155
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: with billionaires and talking about taxing the wealthy than getting

156
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: hit on pocahonest or hit from Joe Biden calling her elitist.

157
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: And she I've covered her for years. I mean, she

158
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: is so in her comfort zone when it's debating policy

159
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: because she's the policy candidate, you know, and and the

160
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: Democratic primary, she just got a whole new site, she

161
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: just got it was smart, so and it was smart,

162
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: and I think that pulls one up because of it,

163
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: and it pulls one up because of it, and I

164
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: think you've got to be careful with that in the general.

165
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: And then just like taking the politics out of it.

166
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I do think that you have to have a fair

167
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: taxes and I think that the Republican tax bill that

168
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: passed was not the right thing to do. So, um,

169
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it did anything to address

170
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: income inequality. Uh you know, but but she's at least

171
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: talking about it. Um you know. What one thing to

172
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: bring up is, Look, I think Bill Gateson loved to

173
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: sit down with Elizabeth Warren if she were going to

174
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: ask him how he could help other Americans who do

175
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: want to see the wealth that he has get there.

176
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's where the Trump campaign is going

177
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: to do pretty well against Elizabeth Warren is However, whether

178
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: or not you believe it is your call. But he's

179
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and say I'm gonna help you

180
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: get rich like me, not I'm gonna take this guy's

181
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: money and give it to you. I know I'm gonna

182
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: get I don't want to. One of the questions I

183
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: have listened. I don't have a hundred billion dollars. But

184
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: one of the questions that I have is I think

185
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of wealthy people who do

186
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: a ton of good in their philanthropic works, and I

187
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: think that a legitimate question, Christen, is it not? Is

188
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: why shouldn't they be able to be to give back

189
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: through philanthropy and maybe have a bit more as opposed

190
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: to just they should. But I think we're they should

191
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: write So I'm answering the question, but I think it's

192
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: not to get at the core of the issue. That's

193
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: not it. You don't talk about just Bill Gates. To

194
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: get the core of this issue, you have to talk

195
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: about giving people the tools. And that's a responsibility to

196
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: send a degree of the photo gum. Giving the people

197
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: the tools to help them help themselves, right, educational tools,

198
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: the pile grants, those types of things. That's that, That's

199
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: that's at the core of what we need to talk about.

200
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: We're talking about incoming a qual I'm not talking about redistribution. Well,

201
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: her tax plan is funny, Medicare for all, not free

202
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: college for everyone, although she wants to get free college

203
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: and everyone. So she's going to take everyone's money pay

204
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: for medical I'm not defending hers. I'm saying I'm just

205
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: saying the issue that we should be talking about, but

206
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, helping others, helping others, just to put it,

207
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: just to put an end point on this. As we

208
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: as coming up, we'll talk to us trying to trade policy.

209
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: She won the news cycle there objectively, if you are

210
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Buddha judge, if you are Sanders, if you are Biden, uh,

211
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Barney Sanders battling billionaires, that's and you're in the progressive

212
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: activist space. Barnie Sanders battling building. I mean, it's it's

213
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: fascinating to watch that. I wonder if she won the

214
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: news cycle in Iowa. I will tell you in my

215

237
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: a data guy for the Republicans trade policy. Did you

238
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: see this? Did you see this? Now? We're hearing reports

239
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: from Bloomberg Reuters, The journal ft that this US China

240
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: phase one phase one of what they're saying is three phases.

241
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: UH is not going to be signed until December. But

242
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: the Chinese are suggesting that the terrorists might be off

243
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: the table. But but the White House has been mum Scott,

244
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: US China trade policy might not get inked until December. Yeah,

245
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: that leaves plenty of opportunity for more twists and turns

246
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: in this story. I mean, phase one. I thought we

247
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: were in phase nine already. It's just hard to keep

248
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: track of um. And even if you sign something, we've

249
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: seen both the Chinese walk away from the deal and

250
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: President Trump walk away from a deal um that was

251
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: theoretically done. And so I just don't think this is

252
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: this is over. I think the more interesting. Yeah. I mean,

253
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: I just I don't believe I'm getting whiplash here, you know,

254
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: I mean, like deja vu. He phase nine, He comes

255
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: out and says there's a deal, and then the staff

256
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: backs up. You tell toy is going to be chief

257
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: for Christmas? Is pretty much all American wants to know.

258
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: They just want to know when I go to Amazon

259
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Prime and I order my toy, is it going to

260
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: be delivered? Yeah? And that was that was that was

261
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: actually part of the equation. Yes, yeah, yeah, they pushed

262
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: back some the consumer electronics stapes and things like that. Yeah, well,

263
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: I mean and that and that precisely is exactly what

264
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: many folks are are worried about, are the implementation of

265
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: those tariffs. And the President now has reportedly ruled out

266
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: signing Phase one of the US China trade deal in Iowa,

267
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: in Alaska, or anywhere the continental United States. Now we're

268
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: hearing that it might happen in Europe, Europe to sign

269
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: that that phase one of the trade deal. Scott and

270
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: the breake you were telling me about the other big

271
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: trade deal. Let's not forget about usm C. Yeah. Look,

272
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: NAFTA needs to be passing the House. Um. Nancy Pelosi

273
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: has to be pretty quiet about that, because not all

274
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: of her caucus wants to vote on that. Um. Well,

275
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: it's easy to be quo she voted for. She voted for.

276
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: Easy to be quiet about something when the entire conversation

277
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: is going to be about impeachment and the government exactly.

278
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: But if as long as my congressional knowledge is still correct,

279
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: it's been a while since I worked there, it has

280
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: to be voted on before the end of the year.

281
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: If it's going to get ratified now, I could be wrong.

282
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: Do it next year. They Christians well, And I also think,

283
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's one thing that that Pelosi and

284
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: her staff UM are are well known for it it's

285
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: if there's real there are real negotiations going on either

286
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: across the ald, whether that's how Sam McConnell or the

287
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: White House. They don't they don't go out there in

288
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: public and talk a lot about They try to preserve

289
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: the integrity of the goods conversations. UM. Now I'm hearing

290
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: more and more that the president is just not gonna

291
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: be able to separate UM, you know, bifurcate the impeachment

292
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: proceedings from any any issues, which means a whole lot.

293
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: What are those middle states the president needs to win.

294
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Iowa really cares about UM, you know, the pork,

295
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: the soybeans, UM, the trucking across UM. Texas pretty much

296
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: naf to look. Mexico is a much bigger trading partner

297
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: to us on our day to day than China is.

298
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: And China is really big. And so that's that's the

299
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: one that I that I think, really, really needs to

300
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: be figured out before China does, and and and China

301
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: is probably going to be an issue all the way

302
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: up until election day. It was interesting to see, uh,

303
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: just precisely, uh how Richard Neil, the chairman of the

304
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: Ways of Means Committee, he met with Canadian Prime Minister

305
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau earlier, just within the last couple of yesterday.

306
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: I believe, yeah, yesterday. And it's a sign. I'm reading

307
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: this as a sign to have a Democrat g go

308
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: up and meet with the Canadian Prime minister that this

309
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: is very close to being finalized. Kristen, Yeah, I mean,

310
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: I think and I would agree with that. And Chairman

311
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: Neil is also known as a very practical legislator who

312
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: is willing to work with kind of all different sides.

313
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: So I think if he's involved that but probably means

314
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: that that their productive conversation is going on. Yeah, I

315
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: concur with that. Is especially, like like we said earlier,

316
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: good staff work. You've got to see this get done.

317
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see when they get it in

318
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: for a vote schedule, and you know how the President

319
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: in the White House respond to, you know, having a

320
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: vote on a day there's public hearings on an impeachment,

321
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, uh, hearing in in the House, UM, and

322
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: what that might do to people who may or may

323
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: not be on the fence and voting for it. Do

324
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: you think, Kristen, if, if, if USMC does ultimately get ratified,

325
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: do you think that will be a an issue for Democrats.

326
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because I don't think this issue

327
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: falls down on party lines really, um. I think that

328
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: it will potentially keep bad things from happening. So in

329
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: that way, it could be an issue for US UM

330
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: with you know, Republicans or with US not having a

331
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: leg up. And actually among Democratic primary voters, U s

332
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: m C A and Trade General has been pulling higher

333
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: than it has been historically. And it might just be

334
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: the polarization of it all, um, but certainly Democratic primary

335
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina and are

336
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: polling shows that you know, they're right around high forties,

337
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: low fifties and support for particularly fair trade, particularly in

338
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: some of those more difficult Democrats. So Democrats are saying

339
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: they want U s m CI is what you're saying.

340
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: They're much closer to supporting than they were twenty years ago.

341
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: When yeah, and it's it's nuanced them. Fair trade is

342
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: really what gets them on. And you know, we can

343
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: nuance what fair trade is, but they're much more open time.

344
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how China polls and and and

345
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: in particular, how how President She's ping polls uh and

346
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: and and whether or not independent voters in rust belt

347
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: states and in key swing states field that Joe Biden

348
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: or Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders or Buddha Jedge would

349
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: be more aggressive against President She than Trump. Well, I

350
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: think we haven't seen you pulling out, but I think

351
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: you will because you know the NBA stuff. Yeah, I

352
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: was free Hong Kong stuff. I mean, look, that's wild,

353
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: wild stories. So I can't even hear I can't even

354
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: let you at the words out. That story is wild.

355
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of stuff that people listen to

356
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: when they're not listening to this show. This is what

357
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: they're spending more their time listening to pitch for you

358
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: live on air. Yeah, do you do to focus groups?

359
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: Are just the pulling a little bit of both? Take

360

Speaker 1: here in studio, Christen Han, Democratic strategist, Scott Transfer, Republican strategist.

373
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: And did you see Don Jr. On the View today?

374
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: It was like Thanksgiving at the Soilli household and Delco.

375
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, I gotta be honest. If you come

376
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: from a from an immediate core family where you only

377
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: are in one political party, that conversation around the view

378
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: table is like a foreign concept to you. But if

379
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: you come from where I come from, where everyone has

380
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: a different you can't get a word. You're like, oh wow, okay,

381
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: so this is what Thanks to Giving is going to

382
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: be like this year. Okay, cool, all they needed was turkey, right, Christian,

383
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: It's like that. It's like that Saturday Night Live skipped

384
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: from a couple of years ago with the Adele's song

385
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: The Little Girl just goes from the other side and

386
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: you had to like play the song and everybody stopped

387
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: talking and stopped talking. I mean more, it is gonna

388
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: the Bipartisan Policy Center. They're hosting an event in a

389
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Uh, just specifically about what to talk

390
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: about on thank Skiving and how to navigate this. I mean,

391
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: where I grew up, everybody had an opinion of politics

392
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: and across partied lines. I want to play for you, though,

393
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: about what Don told me earlier this week on this

394
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: program about Rudy Giuliani, because we got to get into

395
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: the latest impeachment saga of what happened today. And I

396
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: asked him point blank, Chris, and I said, is Rudy

397
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: really the best messenger for your dad? Take a listen

398
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: to what he told me. I think the relationship is great,

399
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: you know. I think the reality is Rudy's Rudy is

400
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: a fighter, so he gets up there and fights. I

401
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: don't know we know about the details about what's actually

402
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: going on there because I'm not in the administration, I

403
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: frankly don't get involved as seeing what happens. You know,

404
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: with that is, you know, being a big part of

405
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: the book is you know, being the number two targets

406
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: after my father of the original uh impeachment inquiry were

407
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: also known as the Russia hoax, the Mullering inquisition. Uh.

408
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: You know, so so I've been there, done that scene it. Uh.

409
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, I appreciate having people that fight. I don't

410
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: know the actual involvement. I don't know that it matters

411
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: that much. I think the reality is my father released

412
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: the actual transcripts. Kevin. Uh, you know, people seem to

413
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: neglect that. You know, I read about every days democracy

414
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: dies in darkness. So, I mean, I guess the relationship

415
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: between President Trump and Rudy Giuliani is doing well. The

416
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: latest impeachment update House committees investigating President Trump, we're getting

417
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: closed or testimony Thursday from Jennifer Williams, a special advisor

418
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: for Europe and Vice President Mike Pence's office, and former

419
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor John Bolton has also been invited to testify.

420
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: But his council told House Committee said he will not

421
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: appear without a court ruling. More transcripts for Lease State

422
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: Department official George kent testimony was released earlier today. Kent

423
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Kent describing a quote unquote awkward incident in which a

424
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: US diplomat chided Ukrainian officials over a politically motivated investigation,

425
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: only to be reminded about the probes the Americans were

426
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: pressuring them to undertake. Uh, I don't know, I mean.

427
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: Then he went on to say that that Trump wanted Biden,

428
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: and that was in a statement. The words investigations, Biden

429
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: and Clinton were to be required elements of a public announcement.

430
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: The new Ukraine president of Vladimir Zelinsky was being asked

431
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: by the US to make. That's what Kent told the

432
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: impeachment investigators. Any big, big bomb shells here, Scott, Not

433
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: enough to move the polls. I don't think. Look, it's

434
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: funny you covered it earlier this week. You know, Morning

435
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: Consult saw a four point drop in support for impeachment.

436
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. Yeah yeah, yeah, four point drop.

437
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Five thirty eight has a pretty good aggregate of all

438
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: the polls out there and pulling This is difficult. As

439
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: I tell the class I teach, wording is very important.

440
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: Most people teach. I teach polling an American university as

441
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: a grad too, So I'm gonna get a little my tuition.

442
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: You can you can a student upholster. Yeah. Actually on

443
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: the mid term they had to write their own impeachment

444
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: question because as they learn in class, how you phrase

445
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: the question can can affect the results. Yeah. And so

446
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: my point being is is we will see, you know,

447
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: all these revelations, all these new cycles. We saw some

448
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: of the polling dipped down below fifty for support for impeachment. Again,

449
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: it's all important because there's a significant amount of people

450
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: who think impeachment means removal from office, which it does not.

451
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: And so exactly I will say one thing that I

452
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: mean because I have been watching all the national polls

453
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: as well and the aggregates of all of those. What

454
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: is interesting though, what I've seen and among independence as

455
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: we're going in district by district and a lot of

456
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: our and a lot of our more with our moderate

457
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: Democrats around the house, UM, we are no longer underwater

458
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: and impeachment, and it would be surprising, UM, on the

459
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: right voters and independent. So that's been actually really surprising

460
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: to me because I would that we would have been Yeah,

461
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Do me a favorite talking the

462
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: mic too, because I know, I'm, I'm, We're in this.

463
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: It's tough, but I want to make sure people can

464
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: hear all of the wisdom from our good friend Kristen Horn.

465
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, and what's the native native? Yeah,

466
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: Austin Blue Dog, which would be a Republican from my

467
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: hometown of the Beach. Yeah. But the question I have

468
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: is we certainly see it. You know, Democrats and independence

469
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: have ticked up and their support for impeachment. Republicans have

470
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: pretty much stayed firm. Do you think the independence in

471
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: those districts that you're seeing are they going to hold

472
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: or is it going to taper off as this basically

473
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: trails on for the next three months. I mean, I

474
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: think that that we get closer and closer to the election,

475
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: it just depends on how it all unfolds. But just

476
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: you know, if you're asking the the the question about impeachment. Um,

477
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: there was a noticeable change after and it wasn't a

478
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: transcript that the White House released, it was a summary. Um.

479
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: But there's a noticeable change. I was struck speaking of

480
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: noticeable change. Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican from South Carolina, who

481
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: yesterday we reported was saying that he doesn't think the

482
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: Biden should be dragged in to the impeachment proceedings, the

483
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: public impeachment proceedings that are going to schedule to take

484
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: place on Wednesday, buckle up. Uh. And then today he

485
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: had this to say, take a listen to Linsagram, Well

486
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: make that decision, not the president. Wow. So I mean,

487
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: now it's appearing he's leaving the door open about whether

488
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: or not this is going to involve involve the Bidens.

489
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: But I just don't see how. I mean, you and I,

490
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: all three of us in this room, as true as

491
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: we're sitting here, know how public hearings work. And the

492
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: way public hearings work is the Republicans get their stab,

493
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: their their their take on the on the witnesses, and

494
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: the Democrats get theirs. And this is literally going to

495
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: be months of public hearings of attack ads for Republicans

496
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: to put against Joe Biden. Yeah, pretty much. And again,

497
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: we as a public have gotten really used to public

498
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: hearings over the last three years and we've seen how

499
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: they do it when they let other people ask the questions,

500
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: when they let the members ask the questions. I think

501
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: everyone's gotten pretty good at it, and everyone's realized that,

502
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: you know, the impeachment hearings in the House are a spectacle.

503
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: The trial that potentially will happen to the Senate will

504
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: be a spectacle, and it's probably gonna overrun some of

505
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: these primaries. So it'll be interesting to see how it

506
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: plays out, and it will be plenty of good TV.

507
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: If you're Joe Biden Kristen, are you nervous about these

508
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: public hearings? I don't. I don't think so. Um, I

509
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't be really because the Republicans are just gonna go

510
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: after him one by one. Jim Jordan mark out his

511
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus everyone. Yeah, but I mean, look, you you've

512
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: got these people who are going to watch these crazy

513
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. I'm sorry, but go after him. You know,

514
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: there's the sympathy card there. I don't know, I think

515
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: it's not all you think Jim Jordan gives by the

516
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: sympathy card. I don't know. I'm just saying. I mean,

517
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: you see them, you see them going after him like that,

518
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: and I just think it's not It's not as simple

519
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: as Juliani lawyered up. He said on Twitter today that

520
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: he would be represented by three lawyers, including his longtime

521
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: friend Robert J. Costello. The Higher show how seriously Mr

522
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: Giuliani is treating the inquiry by federal prosecutors in Manhattan

523
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: who are investigating whether he violated lobbying balls and his

524
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: efforts to got damaging information about Joe Biden. That, according

Speaker 1: who always bring face for radio? They tell me, say,

561

Speaker 1: executive producer is cringing right now, Okay, it's time now

564
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: for my favorite segment of the show. What's on your radar?

565
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: Scott ran look in the beach. What's on your radar? Well,

566
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: we just had a surprise upset in Kentucky where the

567
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: Democrat and knocked off the incoment Governor Matt Bevan. Yeah,

568
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: but sheer and that was you know, the polling was close,

569
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: but you know, Kentucky flipping um It's governorship a year

570
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: before a huge Senate election because Senator Mitch McConnell is

571
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: up in a year. I think everyone, you know, we

572
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: saw the post mortems um saying, you know, Mitch McConnell

573
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: should be worried, and I can tell you it's not

574
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: the case. But it's certainly are going to raise a

575
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: whole lot of money. Why isn't it the case. The

576
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: reason why it's not the case is every single Republican

577
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: down ballot one. Okay, so but hey, let's let it

578
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: be the case. But it's like, yeah, but let's let's

579
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: let Mitch McConnell raise a hundred million dollars and then

580
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: funnel that places like Arizona the reverse effect. Again, I

581
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: agree with you a thousand percent. I was just talking

582
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: to a McConnell adviser earlier today and I just don't

583
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: see how Yeah, I don't, But I look forward, you know,

584
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: making a thing, raise a lot of money, Yeah, workout

585
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: for better work. Looking at Arizona. What about Arizona? We

586
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: can do that for a minute. Well, I mean I

587
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: think that you know, we got thank you, good fund

588
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: raising candidate on the Democratic side. Yeah, and we have

589
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly. He's he's you know, I was saying, being

590
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: an astronaut is like the third most impression. You know,

591
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: I want to be so bad and I always say this,

592
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: I want to go to outer space and do a

593
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: live shot from space so bad. I want to you know,

594
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: like Kevin, you can say there's any funny do that.

595
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: Thank you for believing to give me what's on your radar.

596
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go back to the Veterans day. You know,

597
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: there's so many great groups they're doing things out there,

598
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: and I know that we all need to figure out

599
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: ways we can get back, but I could not. There

600
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: is you think about the you know, almost twenty years

601
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: of RACK and Afghanistan. So you've got this really great

602
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: organization out there at RACK and Afghanistan Veterans of America

603
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: I A via dot org. They're doing so many things

604
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: to call attention to UM. The alarming increase. I think

605
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: it's a hundred and six the veterans fair side in

606
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: veteran suicide rates going UM. So this is a really

607
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: if you're looking for an organization to go to, to

608
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: give to that you know that your money is going

609
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: to be put to really good use to help veterans

610
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: to further good causes. UM. You know they're it, So

623
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,600

624
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: very different topics today. You don't want to know what's

625
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: on I t s that a little Drake, you know, Drake.

626
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read from Bloomberg News Canada for a second.

627
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: And here's the headline, an influential American democrats. Oh no,

628
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: wrong headline, wrong one. Here we go from Bloomberg News Canada. Drake.

629
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: Drake is teaming up with Canopy Growth Corporation for a

630
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: new venture to sell recreational cannabis and accessories in Canada

631
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: and abroad, a move that could quickly established the hip

632
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: hops per Star as a major player in the legal

633
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: pot industry. The joint venture, dubbed more Life Growth, will

634
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: see Canopy expand its celebrity partnerships portfolio to include the

635
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: musician famous for hits such as God's Plan, Hotline, Bling,

636
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: and Best I Ever Had. I say, this is a question,

637
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: how old do you think Drake is Kristen? I don't know,

638
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: But wasn't he like on Disney or the Mickey Mountain

639
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: Now he was on he was on rose Place. It

640
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: was the other one. Drake was on the Disney Channel.

641
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm so not cool. Drake was on the Disney Channel

642
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: three years old, longer than I thought that he was

643
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: going to be. He was on the Grass That was it.

644
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting that now he's become the

645
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: most high profile celebrity to really get involved in, uh

646
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: the legalization issue and the economic issue, which is really

647
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: uh blossomed. I mean, he is the most high profile

648
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: person to do so. He's got an estimated net worth

649
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: of a hundred fifty billion dollars over sixty million followers

650
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: on Instagram, thirty eight mill on Twitter. He's ventured into

651
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: the champagne and whiskey markets. But this is a really

652
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: big deal in the sense that he's the first celebrity,

653
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: the biggest celebrity, to really lend his investment in and

654
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: let's just say, the private sector has outpaced regulations on

655
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: this particular issue. My thanks to Kristen Han, My thanks
