Speaker 4: So it's like it's a rarity, but in a different place.

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 5: It's a rarity. I believe this is our first in

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 5: person podcast.

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: Is that possible in all these years.

25
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: It's our first in person podcast.

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 4: Well we do the live shotow.

27
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get so much younger everything?

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: FU you fuck your saying no, I love you right?

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: You know?

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: I am old. It was my birthday yesterday.

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: Was it a good cookie?

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: No?

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 4: It's terrible. I don't know what I'm doing.

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: I've been told to be less depressed in the podcast,

35
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: so I'm going to be less depressed.

36
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: You should be less depressed. You know why?

37
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 4: Why?

38
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 5: Right now in mar A Lago, Trump is bouncing off

39
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 5: the fucking walls?

40
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: Is he I thought he was in New Jersey?

41
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: Wherever the fuck he is?

42
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: Okay?

43
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 5: I mean I could ask my digital trackers because they

44
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 5: always know where he is because they know his phone

45
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 5: like a submarine.

46
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: It's like, what's nice about having Rick on the podcast

47
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: is that he always wants to get clipped to be

48
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: on an RNC equiprial.

49
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 4: Like every moment he's like, I have his phone number.

50
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 5: You could wake me up out of a sound sleep,

51
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: and I can say something that'll piss them.

52
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: Off, of them to put up their outrageous statements, like

53
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: how this thing about.

54
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: The love Donald Trump.

55
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Producer Jessie wants us to talk about the Joe Biden speech,

56
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: which I was assured by Nate Silver was too late

57
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: at night.

58
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 4: I love Nate Silver. He has so many hot takes.

59
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: At least someone does.

60
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 4: I don't either, but there was. But that's a hot

61
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: hot take that it was too late at night. Aren't

62
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 4: all these conventions.

63
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 5: Speaking speeches and moaning about the convention like not being

64
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 5: exactly every convention I've ever been to? And guys, I've

65
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 5: been to every convention since the dawn of time? Right,

66
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 5: Dinosaurs were probably the deeds, Like when I've been to

67
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 5: previous Democratic conventions, it has been to funk around.

68
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm sure whether with the Green Party candidate.

69
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 5: I'll never tell, Speaking of which, I just had an

70
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 5: encounter with Mary and Williamson and by which someone said

71
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 5: you should meet Mary and.

72
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 3: Williamson and I said, no, I was she there? Yes,

73
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: I could feel the aura shifting in the road.

74
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 4: Doesn't like me. She used to be friends with my mom, well.

75
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 5: Long story short, all right, Biden. I would have written

76
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 5: the speech differently. Yes, I've got my particular speech writing style.

77
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 5: I would have done embrace Kamala, endorse the ticket, boom

78
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 5: boom boom, really upfront, indict Trump, and then lead out

79
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 5: on the valedictory note about the family, his career, his life. Instead,

80
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: it was sort of one two three one two three

81
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: one two, and that made the speech feel longer than

82
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: it was. Look, all the elements in the speech were fine.

83
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: I would have just changed the order of go on

84
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: how you did it, because I think if you had

85
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: let out with that big uplift of Kamala, it would

86
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 5: have been inside the news window more and you would

87
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: have gotten a little boost out of it. But look,

88
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 5: it was a long speech. They were trying to jam

89
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 5: a lot into it. I did not hate it.

90
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: The goal here is to get Biden to take the

91
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: bullets for Camela. Right, he's going to go against Trump,

92
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: dark brand. His goal is to go against Trump so

93
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to write. That's the sort of unpset

94
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: bit of this, right is that he surrogates so she

95
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have to.

96
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: That's exactly right. And the deal here is that as president.

97
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 5: He still commands a gigantic megaphone, right, and he can

98
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 5: bring heat and pressure and.

99
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: Astonishment to Trump, right.

100
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: And they know the lesson we've taught them is if

101
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 5: you poke Trump, he will respond, right. So I want

102
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: Donald trying to be trying to litigate Joe Biden for

103
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 5: the next seventy four days. Right.

104
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: And in fact, what happened, what we saw on truth

105
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: social quote unquote truth, is that Trump had immediately went

106
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: after Biden course, and not after anyone else. And I

107
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: think it's interesting to me that there still is such

108
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: a like magnetism between like Trump obviously cannot pivot, right.

109
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: He was he was excited to run against Biden. Now

110
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: he is no longer running against Biden, but to him,

111
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: he's still running against Biden.

112
00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.

113
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 5: They gave him a very comfortable frame to live in

114
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: for a year.

115
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 3: He's old.

116
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: Will beat him because he's old, will beat him because

117
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 5: he's old, will beat him because he's old.

118
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: And when Trump became the old man in the race.

119
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Right, well, then do we spending millions of dollars on

120
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: mental acuity and then having that guy drop out and

121
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: being all of a sudden the oldest person ever run

122
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: for president is really something.

123
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, It's brighter than the thousand suns. It's fantastic.

124
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 5: And look when you end up with a campaign team

125
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 5: of Lasovita and Wiles who promised him that it was

126
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 5: going to be easy because.

127
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: He had checked out, let's be real, he was playing

128
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: golf three days a week.

129
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean he had to pay those legal bills. Yeah, so,

130
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean it makes sense.

131
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: But he thought he was going to win. He thought

132
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: it was going to be an easy skate.

133
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, when the when

134
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 5: the field changed, the inevitable blow ups started to happen,

135
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: you know, and his his truthing behavior, his his press behavior,

136
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 5: you know, layering Corey Leewandowski between Susy Wilds and Chriss Losovita.

137
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: I mean, and if you're a it's a recipe for success.

138
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: If you're a campaign that's struggling with women voters, your solution.

139
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: Better than that everyone.

140
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: But one of the things that Biden I think stuck

141
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: into the speech because it wasn't orated in the style

142
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: of the rest of the speech, he said, no one

143
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: told me to drop out.

144
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: It was my decision.

145
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: You notice that he just added that as an ad

146
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: lib line, he had two ad lib lines.

147
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 5: That line and the one about the cause of protesters

148
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 5: outside may have a point or whatever.

149
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: Right, those were two ad libs that were that.

150
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: Were more important than everything else in this speech.

151
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: In might I added up a lot to the depth

152
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: of what he was doing.

153
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 6: Right.

154
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: And I also think like that is the thing because

155
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: there's so much political writing, political journalism about the idea

156
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: that the idea that that that Biden had been pushed out,

157
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: when in fact, I really felt like what Biden was

158
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: trying to say last night was he was not pushed out. Now, again,

159
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: none of us know what really happened, but I did

160
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: think that, I.

161
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: Mean, that was your last name is Biden. You don't

162
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: know what really really happened?

163
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: Ye, And let me say this, I mean, and remember

164
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: this is a Republican talking point.

165
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: Republicans want all they wanted to.

166
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 5: Let me say this, If Joe Biden, for the purposes

167
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: of his valedictory moment, wants to set the history with

168
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: that being the case, I don't care. All I care

169
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 5: about is that we have a smooth transition to the

170
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: new candidate.

171
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: And we do. And and Biden was graceful about it

172
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: last night. He I mean, you noticed as he was

173
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: going through talking.

174
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 5: About the record and Kamala and I, Kamala and I

175
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 5: did this, we together achieved this, and all that is

176
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 5: really important, I think because she's going to accrue the

177
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 5: positive benefits of things like the Chips and Science Act,

178
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 5: the Infrastructure Bill, the Infationial Reduction Act. So look, if

179
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: that's the moment he wants to have the valedictory moment

180
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 5: of this thing, I'm fine with that. I think that's great.

181
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 5: I think that's wonderful. And I also want to say

182
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 5: his case against Trump. If you just pulled out the

183
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 5: case he made against Trump, the segments of the speech

184
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 5: were just the was the the clarification of who Trump is,

185
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 5: and the defensive democra I would have taken just that.

186
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 5: I mean, if he walked out and said, I endorsed Kamala,

187
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 5: here are the ten things that make Donald Trump unacceptable

188
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: for the president, right, drop the mic, walking off the stage,

189
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 5: that would have been swinging off the rafters.

190
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: Well, but that's again politicians, like, no politician is going

191
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: to take that much airtime and be like, I'm just

192
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna do something really short here, because people will like

193
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: it better.

194
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: You know, there's none of that. And in fact, like

195
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 4: the fact that it ran long.

196
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: It ran long because these kinds of things run long

197
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: because politicians love to talk.

198
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 5: Listen, everybody who was last night in the media, there

199
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 5: was a little media class grumblefest. I say, this convention

200
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: is badly organized. It's running twenty minutes behind.

201
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: Have you met Democrats?

202
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 5: Have you met Republicans. I've been to a lot of conventions.

203
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: Nothing ever runs on time. I'm a former advanced guy.

204
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: Nothing ever runs on time. I must speech trader, nothing

205
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 5: ever runs on time.

206
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 4: Well, I was, there's a bullshit.

207
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: I waited online for like an hour and a half

208
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: yesterday to get through the magnantimers magnet whatever.

209
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 4: Well, anyway, I waited pronouns process. That's right, thank you.

210
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: I did not think it was a well organized moment

211
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: when national whatever.

212
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 5: Listen, every convention I've ever been to runs behind schedule.

213
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 5: They do not run on time. People get pulled off

214
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 5: the schedule. That's nothing unique or new or special or

215
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 5: or indicative of anything beyond the fact that when a

216
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 5: politician is on the stage and that with the in

217
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 5: the national spotlight, they're going to drag every god damn

218
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 5: millisecond they came.

219
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: Right, No, of course, because I mean what we do, right.

220
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: I mean, And here's the thing.

221
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 5: It's interesting because if this had been Biden running for reelection,

222
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 5: there would be a lot more people trying to have

223
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 5: an Obama moment on the stage. There'd be a lot

224
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 5: more people trying to have a have a moment where

225
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: they get noticed.

226
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 4: Where the buzz important point right there?

227
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're the buzz classes. Oh look at who did

228
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: so well on the stage. I don't think we have

229
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 5: that as much right now because the sense is if

230
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 5: she wins, she's going to run again, and.

231
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: You know, the next eight years are kind of taken

232
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 4: care of it.

233
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: You guys are going to be so old by the

234
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: time you get quote unquote discovered. Yeah, really good point. Right,

235
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: So Jesse wants us to talk. This is all his

236
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: fault about. Rick Willson is in trouble again. Discuss I'm

237
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: actually not in trouble.

238
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is threatened to sue us again the third time?

239
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: Does he just threaten to see you all the time?

240
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: This is the third time?

241
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: Now, okay, why is he mad at you? What did

242
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 4: you because we ran an.

243
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: Ad basically saying that he was a fool for believing

244
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: our previous ad that said that christ and Susy were

245
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: not running a good campaign and that Jadvance was a

246
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 5: bad choice. And then they'd really screwed up, and Biden

247
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 5: left the race, and they told him he wouldn't leave

248
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: the race, and so of course he's losing his mind

249
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 5: about it, and they send these usual like breathless lawyer

250
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 5: letters from the Dylan law firm.

251
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 4: What is that?

252
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: It's hard meat Dylan, that Republican?

253
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: Yes, right, she's also a conservative television host.

254
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: Yes, she's also on some damn channel, right.

255
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: On a channel you can't.

256
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 7: Can't spill.

257
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 5: But once again he's threatening us, and once again it's

258
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: like this is the third time. And at some point,

259
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: like the guy he said, I'm gonna come and hit

260
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 5: you in the nose, will come hit me bingch come on,

261
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 5: try it.

262
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: That's nice.

263
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 5: And of course, of course if he does do it,

264
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 5: if he does do it, he goes into Discovery, And

265
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 5: as George Conway tweeted this morning, it's like, because I'm like,

266
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 5: Discovery will be the most fun.

267
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: I have to tell you.

268
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: George Conway, who is a friend of this podcast and ours,

269
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: and who gave me a very cool green pin yesterday

270
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: that said comment on it is so incredibly All he

271
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: wants to do is troll Trump and he's given so

272
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: much fun just to Biden.

273
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: Just give me.

274
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: More than a million dollars Biden. You know he's a

275
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: super donor VIP at this time.

276
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 5: I want George to be the ambassador to wherever he

277
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: wants to be the ambassador.

278
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 4: I want him to be the ambassador because you and I.

279
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: Could go and hang out with George's ambassador.

280
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: That I don't think we'll ever get past the social secretary,

281
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: by the way, the whole fantasy that somehow we are

282
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: going to be like staying in the Lincoln bedroom of

283
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: Ambassador George Conway's house in Japan.

284
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: Where are we going here?

285
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: So?

286
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: Are you going to get so here's the hot take.

287
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: Are you going to get sued?

288
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 3: He's not going to sue us. At the end of

289
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: the day.

290
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: It's one more It's one more thing about him. The

291
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 5: bluster and the bullshit and the lying and the tough

292
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 5: guy act. It's just like every other part of his

293
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 5: tough guy act. He will threaten, he will say this ship,

294
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 5: we didn't sue us when we put the billboards of

295
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: Avanka and Jared up in Times Square.

296
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: Oh, I remember us.

297
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: We put the mean ads on Fox that called him impotent.

298
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 4: So many years of this, that's the thing.

299
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: It's like, come on, dude, is this.

300
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 4: How you want to spend your seventies at some point?

301
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 5: Look, when I'm in my seventies, I hope I'm like

302
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: writing thoughtful books and entertaining my grandchildren with war stories

303
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 5: from the Great Trump Revolution, and speaking of which I'm

304
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 5: about to be a grandfather any minute.

305
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right, we've heard about it.

306
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: Bounce off the walls and bounced off the walls.

307
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: You're always founding.

308
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: I can't deny that there is That is not a

309
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: correct statement, But.

310
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: I do think it's a really good point that this is.

311
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, they try to intimidate people. We think about

312
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: the media matters, the lawsuits, the ways in which they've

313
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: tried to sue people who've tried to hold them accountable.

314
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: I think about Pro Publica.

315
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 5: I think the one reason he actually never does sue

316
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 5: us is he knows that every piece of paper they

317
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 5: send us we will make public.

318
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 8: Right.

319
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 3: Our lawyers are like pirates.

320
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 5: Right, they will mount his ship and slaughter everyone on

321
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 5: the deck.

322
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: We will go into discovery.

323
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: And I love, by the way, every conversation with Brick

324
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: Wilson ends up in like a violent metaphor of pirates,

325
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: I mean were in politics. But yes, I do think

326
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: that's a really good point.

327
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: And I know it'll be like releasing rabid wolverines in

328
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: a daycare center.

329
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: That's what it's going to look like if his lawfer

330
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: goes at us. So we're here, it's.

331
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: No, no, you know, I'm actually in a really bad mood,

332
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: but you actually cheered me a little bit.

333
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: Why are you in a bad mood?

334
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: I'm always in a bad mood. I'm fine, I'm not

335
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 4: shuld be in.

336
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: A better mood because right now now we're winning. Yeah,

337
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: we're winning.

338
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: I'm curious in your mind.

339
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: Like the things that I found very moment off were like, like,

340
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: for example, the fact check on the speeches yesterday.

341
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: What the right?

342
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 3: So these people are like, we can't fact check Trump

343
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: in real time and that, and yet somehow they managed

344
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: to do that with the president, right.

345
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: So there was so someone last night was talking about

346
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: these love letters, the Kim Jong oun love letters, and

347
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: then fact check was like, we actually have it that

348
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: he did not letters, but Trump said he said letter.

349
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: Of course he did, and he said he and he

350
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 5: took the Kim letters in the documents that he illegally

351
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 5: retained at.

352
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: Marlwall Right, So doesn't that count as love letters.

353
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 5: The fact that they're just trying to play this thing

354
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: out and to play it, they're trying to both sides

355
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: this thing, because it's like, this is the broken nature

356
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: of a lot of reporting and a lot of fact

357
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: checking right now. It's like they will say Trump said

358
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: outrageous lie x, but then we'll just like flatly report

359
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 5: it was like Trump falsely claimed that that Kamala Harris

360
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 5: is a raging communist who wants to.

361
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: Seize the means. And yet when you end up with

362
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: these fine grain fact.

363
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Checks on whether or not there were as you know, species, it's.

364
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: Kind of silly.

365
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 5: But look, there there's a little crankiness here with a

366
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 5: lot of the journalism class.

367
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: They don't feel like they're getting enough floor access or

368
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: whatever it is.

369
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: And quite frankly, just to be honest, they are absolutely

370
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: this This administration has has really been quite irritated much

371
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: of the mainstream media.

372
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: I can't blame them, you know, Honestly, it's like the

373
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 5: fuck me, fuck you principle in the world. We've seen it.

374
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: And then look this fact checking fuckery. And I think

375
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: this is like a really big moment in the next

376
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 5: two months because we have to focus on this is

377
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: that if you treat both sides of the lie as

378
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 5: a valid question, you're doing this wrong. Because Trump is

379
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 5: a liar at scale. Everything he says is going to

380
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: be fact checkable, right. And so when Harris asserts something

381
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 5: like yesterday, I was seeing this stuff about the twenty

382
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars home buyer.

383
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Right, which, by the way, made Elon Musk so mad. Right,

384
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything make him so mad. You have

385
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: billions of dollars from government subsidies, right, but twenty five

386
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, which is, by the way, like how much

387
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: he pays for coffee?

388
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: Right, A rounding error.

389
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I'm sure that's his ketamine budget.

390
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: Oh that is like we do not that is not

391
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I would not say that. I'm saying I'm sure he

392
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: is joking. That is one of those jokes that funny

393
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: people make.

394
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: Come.

395
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: But one of the fact checks I saw was like

396
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 5: the Heritage Foundation said that that would be I'm like, wait,

397
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 5: you're going to that heritage found You're going to Project

398
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five boys to fact check.

399
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: No, that's not how this works, you know.

400
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: And I will say this Elon getting mad at that

401
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 5: and getting mad at her talking about a child tax

402
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 5: deduction and crazy.

403
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: He has so many children, you think you'd like it.

404
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 5: But here's the other thing, Elon and and Tucker and

405
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 5: all these other people, like, there are no more babies

406
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: being born.

407
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: We must have more man.

408
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 5: Okay, well, how how don't you make the economy not

409
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: suck as much for people who want to buy have babies,

410
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 5: or buy a first home or get married.

411
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: Right, maybe that could help them.

412
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

413
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 3: Why would we do something like that?

414
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 4: Right now? That's that's communism?

415
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: It is full communists?

416
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 4: Or is it communism?

417
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: One of the things I think that's driving Trump particularly crazy.

418
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 5: He has not stuck a nickname on her yet.

419
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, he can't do it.

420
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: By the way, just one second, I love him on

421
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: how beautiful she is and he.

422
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 3: Wants to sleep with her. Okay.

423
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 5: My friend Miyam I think, was the first person to

424
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 5: come up with this theory. He's like, she's like the

425
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 5: girl who said no to the problem. Right, and he

426
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 5: can't stop talking about her. He can't stop thinking about her.

427
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: And last night, or it was a few nights ago,

428
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: when he went on and on about how much he

429
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: how he was actually more attractive than she was.

430
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: That's a rabbit hole.

431
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 5: I don't want to go I don't want to ever

432
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 5: go down that rabbit hole. But you know he's taken.

433
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 5: And he was like talking about the drawing that time

434
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 5: magazine did every yes, and he was like that drawing

435
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 5: was made her so beautiful as it made her so

436
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: gorgeous and so so compelling, and and I had to

437
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 5: tape it up over the ceiling over my bed.

438
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus Christ, always pushing it too far.

439
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: Yes, you just missed it.

440
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: Jesse's like I just want to die.

441
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: He just is like kill me now.

00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 9: had getting to this moment, from spending twenty years in

478
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 9: the movement to be in at Emily's List, to working

479
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 9: with the Vice President when she was running for president herself,

480
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 9: and you know, now being in the United States Senate

481
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 9: as the only black woman in the chamber and the

482
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 9: third the third ever in history, replacing what was the

483
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 9: role of Vice President Eras when she was the Senator

484
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 9: from California. It truly has been an incredible experience to see,

485
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 9: you know, what President Biden chose to do in terms

486
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 9: of his the choice and leadership that he made and

487
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 9: passing the baton to the Vice president.

488
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 7: I've known her for fifteen years.

489
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 9: What I know about her is that she's the exact

490
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 9: kind of leader that our country needs and deserves in

491
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 9: this moment, and so I am going to do everything

492
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 9: and anything to help make that happen. And so it's

493
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 9: been a whirlwind, it's been NonStop.

494
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: Part of your appointment was you said you weren't going

495
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: to run for the Senate seat. You have two black

496
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: women running for Senate seats because the numbers are just

497
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: so unfair and present. Does that make you feel better.

498
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 9: Let's start with the premise of the question, mall, because

499
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 9: there was you know, people assume that I had this

500
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 9: kind of this agreement with governor with Governor Newsom, and

501
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 9: the facts are of you actually go back and look

502
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 9: at his public statements just prior to him announcing my appointment.

503
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 9: He said that whoever he picked was free to do

504
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 9: whatever they wanted to do. I was very clear that

505
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 9: if I was going to consider this, I was going

506
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 9: to make the decision to run based on my own terms,

507
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 9: not any agreement that I would.

508
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 7: Have with Gavin Newsom.

509
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 9: I had actually done the work to figure out if

510
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 9: I could raise the money. I had done the work

511
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 9: to figure that out. I was not worried about raising

512
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 9: the money either. Could I do the endorsements because I

513
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 9: put the kind of California coalition required to win together,

514
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 9: and I was able to assess very quickly that I

515
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 9: absolutely could.

516
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 7: And then the question was did I want to do it?

517
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 9: And I know that both Angela also Brooks and Lisa

518
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 9: Blunt Rochester want to be in the United States Senate

519
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 9: for as long as it takes to move our country forward,

520
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 9: and I couldn't give that same commitment to California.

521
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm willing to be.

522
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 9: There for six years plus six years plus six years.

523
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 9: I'm only forty five, and I don't think about power

524
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 9: as permanent, right, Like, if anybody is in that seat,

525
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 9: it is not the seat that they have, It is

526
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 9: the seat that the people of California have. And if

527
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 9: I wasn't prepared to do that fully, I should actually

528
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 9: just step aside and let Californians decide who they want

529
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 9: to pick.

530
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 4: Now, I feel like you should stay in the seat.

531
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 4: I'm sorry to tell you. How is this my feeling?

532
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: She has so seamlessly transitioned to the candidate. There were

533
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: so many mediocre white guys who said she couldn't do it.

534
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 4: Do you feel like I feel.

535
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: Like there must be so many black women who are

536
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: told they can't do it. And when you watch her,

537
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: she's only been doing this for a month and it

538
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: has been beyond anyone while those expectations tell us what

539
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: you think.

540
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 9: Music runs very deep in my family and it has

541
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 9: so many purposes. There's an old Kirk Franklin song called

542
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 9: look at Me Now. And what I think black women

543
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 9: across this country are singing right now as an anthem

544
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 9: is look at me now. Look at what Kamala Harris

545
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 9: is doing as vice president and now you know, soon

546
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 9: to be presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.

547
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 7: When everybody doubted what she could.

548
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 9: Do, she is showing them at every step of the way,

549
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 9: and day after day with the biggest decision that she'll

550
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 9: ever make in terms of deciding her vice presidential running

551
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 9: mate to her theme song of Freedom by Beyonce right,

552
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 9: she is making choices that exemplify and give voice to

553
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 9: so many people. So many people can see themselves in

554
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 9: her candidacy, and black women and I hope every woman.

555
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 7: It's like, look at me now.

556
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you must be so proud.

557
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 7: So I am thrilled. I am thrilled it.

558
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 9: The this is a Kamala Harrison I've known for fifteen years.

559
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 9: There's nothing new that's showing up about her.

560
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 5: It is weird, and.

561
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's fantastic. She's always been fantastic.

562
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 9: She is meeting this moment with the urgency that it requires,

563
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 9: and I think inspiring voters to not just see the

564
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 9: pains of yesterday, but to imagine the dreams of tomorrow.

565
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you.

566
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: Are you concerned about Project twenty twenty five and how

567
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: awful Trump's second term could be? Well, so are we,

Speaker 2: Kro Swisher, Scott Gallaway are the co hosts of Pivot.

582
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: Okay, so we're at the DNC. Yeah, I ran into

583
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: Karen Scott.

584
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we're trying to take the stage mother them.

585
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 4: What do you think the feeling here?

586
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 6: The feeling is I cannot believe they let Scott nine.

587
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 10: That's really the feeling is one of a big mistakes.

588
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 10: I saw it from my hotel room last night. But

589
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 10: it's and it's mostly made for TV. But I like

590
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 10: the vibe is great, you know, I just felt good,

591
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 10: felt very optimistic. Went a little bit long, but yeah,

592
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 10: the whole electric is the word I would use.

593
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, the last part with Joe Biden getting angry was

594
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 6: a little much, but I thought mostly it should be

595
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 6: about her, like it was goodbye Joe and even closing

596
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 6: the chatter on Trump everything else. That's where they really

597
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 6: need to go. I want a little more hope. I

598
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 6: like her forward stuff. I want to hear more about

599
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 6: the forward.

600
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: So here's a question for you guys, tech regulation. I

601
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: think of you guys as sort of.

602
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 6: The ex whizzes to tell you you're texperts, we're influencers.

603
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: I think of you as is texperts. That's terrible. The

604
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: entrepreneur do you like for entrepreneur.

605
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 6: Oh no, that's another word.

606
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 4: I say. I'm a member of the gig economy. The

607
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 4: gig what about you?

608
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 3: Just male escort?

609
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, no tech regulation is my hobby.

610
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 4: This is as good as it gets for me.

611
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: Like, there was a lot of anxiety that Biden was

612
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: like maybe to regulation heavy or maybe not tech regulation

613
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: heavy enough.

614
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 6: So tell me there's no regulations, right, I mean they're

615
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 6: mad at Lena Khan, right, although some conservatives like her.

616
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 6: Conservatives Look, magg Gets is a fan. Jd Vance is

617
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 6: a fan. There's been no regulation to.

618
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 4: Speak to you.

619
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 6: Do you feel like they can't they can't merge as

620
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 6: much as they want. That's really pretty much it.

621
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 4: I don't know, Scott, you go on, Yeah.

622
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 10: I think there's an opportunity that's being missed so far,

623
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 10: and that is inflation is obviously a cudgel or something

624
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 10: they're being attacked on, and they should connect the dots between.

625
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 10: The key to bringing down inflation is to breaking up

626
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 10: monopolies and if you will, oxygenerating the economy so there's

627
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 10: more competition. There is a ton of innovation that's trapped

628
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 10: and mostly sequestered to shareholders. If we want inflation and

629
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 10: pricing to come down. It's pretty simple. You need to

630
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 10: break up companies such that there's more competition and prices

631
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 10: will come down.

632
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

633
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 10: CAPITALI those thoughts and they haven't connected those dots.

634
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

635
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I'm married to a VC, so I

636
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 4: totally you know it.

637
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 6: Coers is more tech friendly than Joe Biden. That is

638
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 6: absolutely true, this whole thing, the tech bros. I'm like,

639
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 6: are you kidding? You'd be a favor to get her.

640
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 6: Jomp doesn't know what he's talking about. He shifts on

641
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 6: a dime, and he's bought and paid for by whether

642
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 6: it's crypto or TikTok people or whatever. So she does

643
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 6: know the area, and she's quite a medium she I

644
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 6: would say medium. I've had lots of arguments that she

645
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 6: didn't go far enough as Attorney general, right, but you know,

646
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 6: I think they expect she's much more centrist than probably

647
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 6: more more friendly to crypto than they think.

648
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, can we talk about crypto for one? If we

649
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 4: have to?

650
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: There is, like on the right, a nefarious play for

651
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: crypto to.

652
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 4: Sort of wanted the price to go up. That's it? So,

653
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 4: I mean, is that just it?

654
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: You think it's just merely like a short term crypto play,

655
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: or do you think there's like more nefarious noness trying

656
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: to drive down the dollar or create I mean.

657
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 6: Well, some of these aren't the world's sharpest.

658
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 10: Tax, but I would reverse that they want to drive

659
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 10: down the dollar such that their crypto investments will go up.

660
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 10: It's happened in softer forms across all of politics, but

661
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 10: this is straight naked kleptocracy right and also quite frankly,

662
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 10: crypto is brightens up a room as a topic by

663
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 10: leaving it. It's a small part of the economy. We're

664
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 10: talking about an entire sector that has a market capitalization

665
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 10: that is less than Apple. We spent too much time

666
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 10: talking about it. It makes for great news because a

667
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 10: small group of individuals have decided to try and buy

668
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 10: a vice president such that they can shoot the prices

669
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 10: of their portfolio companies. Northward eight naked pay for play cliptok.

670
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: And you saw Ron Conway, who had given some money

671
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 6: around crypto. He's got some crypto investments, he's he's been

672
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 6: a democratic donor. Suddenly try to get rid of shared

673
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 6: Brown in Ohio. The crypto bros tried to do it

674
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 6: and he pulled out of the whole thing because it

675
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 6: makes no sense because you know, look these again, they're

676
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 6: the most noxious people in tech right now. I would say,

677
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 6: and that's a it's a very.

678
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: Little large, be noxious all in crowd, the famous, the famous,

679
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: famous party.

680
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 6: I would say our podcast is bigger than them, but

681
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 6: they tried by a lot of podcasts.

682
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 4: I think my podcast is bigger than that.

683
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 6: But anyway, whatever, whatever. They it's a nice hobby for

684
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 6: rich men.

685
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 4: No, it's rich. Yeah, it's a nice hobby.

686
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 10: What do you think, Scott, I haven't listened to it.

687
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 10: They have a following, good for them.

688
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 6: We need multiple voices, we need lots of yes, we

689
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 6: need we need the aggrieved rich people need.

690
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: Can't billionaires have a say?

691
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 6: I know, I know, they're so quiet, you're so censored.

692
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: We need more billionaires making content because no comments.

693
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: We went to and clothes when Jesse's like, please stop anyway,

694
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, bis you guys a mass.

695
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: Peggy Flann again is the Lieutenant governor from Minnesota.

696
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fast Politics, Lieutenant Governor Peggy flan again.

697
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for having me.

698
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: So you are the Lieutenant governor of Minnesota, and you

699
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: are soon to be the governor of Minnesota.

700
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 11: Well, if everything goes according to plan and we elect

701
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 11: Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, but we got a lot

702
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 11: of work to do over the coming days.

703
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: Were you shocked when he was picked as a VP?

704
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't because he's the Midwestern dad this

705
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: country needs.

706
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: But were you surprised?

707
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 11: I don't know if I was surprised as much as

708
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 11: just bursting with joy. I you know, have worked closely

709
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 11: with him for the last six years and have just

710
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 11: seen him lead with heart and compassion and his big

711
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 11: dad energy, which is absolutely for real. And so I'm

712
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 11: a little biased, but I think Kamala Harris made an

713
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 11: amazing pick for her vice president medential candidate. But it's

714
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 11: just been fun to watch and he's got so much

715
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 11: joy and it feels like a new day.

716
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: The way he came into my life was I was

717
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: told again and again that Minnesota was enacting this amazing

718
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: legislation and it wasn't such a blue state and it

719
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: was really a purple state, and we needed to look

720
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: at this state that had all of this incredible legislation,

721
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: and I'm talking progressive legislation like free breakfasts, free lunches,

722
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, feeding hungry children, that.

723
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: Kind of thing.

724
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if you can just talk to us

725
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: about how you guys did that?

726
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 11: Sure well for Governor Wallas, he is a teacher first

727
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 11: and foremost, and I think he saw exactly what it

728
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 11: meant when children didn't have foutiat. You can't exactly ase

729
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 11: your geography tests if you're hungry, you know. And I

730
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 11: was a kid who grew up on free and reduced

731
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 11: price lunch. I was that kid with a different colored

732
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 11: lunch ticket. So removing that stigma from children is so powerful.

733
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 11: And we have now had the opportunity to serve both

734
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 11: breakfast and lunch at schools across Minnesota and the only

735
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 11: question that you have to ask kids is do you

736
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 11: want pancakes or French toast dunkers? And that's exactly how

737
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 11: it should be. It is progressive policy, but it's also

738
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 11: just the right thing to do. We should feed kids.

739
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 4: Paid leave.

740
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: Row the kind of stuff that is really the bare

741
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: minimum in many countries. But Republicans are fighting against how

742
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: do you guys do it well?

743
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 11: For paid family and medical leave. When I was a

744
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 11: new mom and had a baby, on my hip. I

745
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 11: was one of the co founders of Minnesotan's for Paid

746
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 11: Family and Medical Leave when I was leading Children's Defense Fund.

747
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 11: My daughter was ten years old when we passed it,

748
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 11: and so it takes a little while, but I think

749
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 11: like that is also the story here. You get what

750
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 11: you organize for, and in some instances it was over

751
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 11: twenty years. So we kept working together with faith, labor, nonprofits,

752
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 11: and we had in a that was about caring for

753
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 11: each other. And I think as Minnesotan's that's exactly who

754
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 11: we are. So once we had a trifecta, we ran

755
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 11: as hard and as fast as we could.

756
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 4: You will be the.

757
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: First Indigenous woman governor.

758
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: What does that mean?

759
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 11: Well, as the highest ranking Native woman in executive office

760
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 11: right now, I can tell you representation matters. And when

761
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 11: I think about my daughter, her reality is completely different

762
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 11: from how I grew up. I had Geraldine Ferraro when

763
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 11: I was growing up, right, it was very powerful. But

764
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 11: she has Auntie deb who's the Secretary of the Interior,

765
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 11: Auntie Cherisse who is in Congress, and her mom is

766
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 11: the Lieutenant governor, and so it's a real opportunity for

767
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 11: her to dream and so many other young people to

768
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 11: dream and if I am not the first Indigenous woman

769
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 11: a governor in this country, shortly we will see her

770
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 11: and we will know her. But we got a lot

771
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 11: of work to do.

772
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: This country has been so deeply shitty to Indigenous people. People,

773
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: How do you make it make sense now that you

774
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: are in leadership here?

775
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 11: Native people have always been here, We are here and

776
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 11: we will be here into the future. Governor Walls and

777
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 11: I have made strengthening tribal state relations a top priority

778
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 11: and we have delivered, and I am so proud of

779
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 11: that work. I think we are a resilient people. We've

780
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 11: got a really good sense of humor, which I think

781
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 11: is why we have survived this long. But the biggest thing,

782
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 11: I think is for folks to know we are a

783
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 11: contemporary people. We are not stuck in the past. And

784
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 11: we are congresswomen and Secretaries of the Interior and lieutonic

785
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 11: governors and teachers, and we have a lot of healing

786
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 11: to do. But this work, this policy work, is part

787
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 11: of that healing.

788
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: One of the things that happened in the twenty twenty

789
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: election was that Indigenous people came out. Native people came

790
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: out for Democrats, they organized, they really did deliver. Do

791
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: you think that can happen again? Absolutely, and I'm watching

792
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: it happen. Native voter are strategically located in swing states

793
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: across the country. We are organized.

794
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 11: I see so much work that's happening in a partisan

795
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 11: campaign way, but also nonprofit C three's who are making

796
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 11: sure that Native people are seen and heard and valued

797
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 11: and their votes are counted. The Biden Harris administration has

798
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 11: been the best administration ever for Native people. The work

799
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 11: that Governor Wallas has done in Minnesota to strengthen tribal

800
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 11: state relations, honoring tribal sovereignty. The Harris Walls administration will

801
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 11: absolutely be the best administration for Indian country and our

802
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 11: country's history. And I think that Native folks across the

803
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 11: country know that Tim Walls is one heck of a

804
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 11: surrogate for Native communities. And to hear Kamala Harris say

805
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 11: that she will protect treaty rights and tribal sovereignty and

806
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 11: wants every Native child to have an opportunity. We have

807
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 11: never heard language like that before. It is powerful and

808
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 11: it is motivating people.

809
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that you've never heard language like that. Good

810
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 4: little bye, little thank you.

811
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: Money, but it's twenty twenty four that is fucked up.

812
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: As a white Jewish girl from Manhattan, that is fucked up.

813
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Thank thank you, thank you for going on.

814
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: Thanks so much.

815
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: Congressman Robert Garcia represents California's forty second district.

00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 13: behind this incredible candidate. Kamala Harris is just exactly what

829
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 13: this country needs at this moment. We have the most vile, horrific, shameless,

830
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 13: criminal con man running for president, and yeah, you have

831
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 13: on the other side of that, this incredible, brilliant prosecutor,

832
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 13: who's tough, who's smart, who knows how to basically, you know,

833
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 13: put the case and make the case against him. And

834
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 13: I think people feel really really good about that. And

835
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 13: it's a historic candidacy. So I think people are excited.

836
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 12: What role does Tim Walls play?

837
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 13: My god, I mean, I don't even know where to start,

838
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 13: because he is Tim talks. He's amazing a Keith America's dad.

839
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 12: Yeah.

840
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 13: Oh, it's like I was. There's a lot of us

841
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 13: that were like, cope being that can. I think that

842
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 13: he just electrifies I think the base, he electrifies progressives,

843
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 13: he electrifies world voters, he electrifies white dudes, you know,

844
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 13: he electrifies everyone. And so it's just like this guy

845
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 13: can do no wrong. I think she made the absolute

846
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 13: perfect selection and it was the right pick for her

847
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 13: to the right pick for the country.

848
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, I definitely think that's right.

849
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 14: I'm curious for you, what speech should we be watching

850
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 14: have for that maybe isn't necessarily on our radar.

851
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 12: Who are you excited to hear tonight? What's your thinking?

852
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 13: I mean, look, I think what's interesting about tonight is

853
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 13: we actually haven't we haven't heard from Michelle Obama.

854
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 7: In a while.

855
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, And I think.

856
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 13: That's really really interesting. I mean, obviously, anytime that that

857
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 13: President Obama or you know, Doug m Host, you know,

858
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 13: speak is important. But we haven't heard from Michelle Obama

859
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 13: in a while. And I think that she has seen

860
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 13: the world change, she has seen I think politics change.

861
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 13: I think that that's going to be a surprise hit tonight.

862
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 12: Yeah. Well that's a really good, really really good point.

863
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 12: I want you to tell me just California Long Beach,

864
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 12: what are you seeing on the ground in your district.

865
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 12: What is the legislation that could fix it?

866
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 13: Well, I think the one thing that furthernhis has talked

867
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 13: about right now is about housing. Right in California and

868
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 13: in places like New York, Texas, big states especially, housing

869
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 13: is a huge issue. It is the issue. There is

870
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 13: no bigger issue right now than housing, the cost, accessibility

871
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 13: to housing, people that are in the house, that need

872
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 13: access to housing. So this plan of building four million homes,

873
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 13: first time home buyers, tax credits, building affordable housing is

874
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 13: exactly especially what first time home buyers, younger people, young

875
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 13: professionals that they want to hear. And so I think

876
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 13: that I think she can really be kind of the

877
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 13: housing president. And I'm I'm excited about that.

878
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 14: The road to Democrats flipping the House runs through New

879
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 14: York State and California. Tell us what California is doing

880
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 14: there and what your seats are that are up, because

881
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 14: people listeners podcasts are big activistic.

882
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 13: I mean California, New York like really fucked, like I'm

883
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 13: a wife, especially New York. I mean, you're saying massive,

884
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 13: fucking lusterfuck And the amount of resources that got diverted

885
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 13: from these congressional seats is truly ya same and it's insanity. Yes, However,

886
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 13: we now California also, so now we have an opportunity

887
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 13: to make this right and fix this. And we if

888
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 13: we win two or three seats in New York two

889
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 13: or three seats in California, I think we're going to

00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,040

928
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 12: Yes, we have never seen.

929
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 15: That on a stage, on any stage, but even not

930
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 15: the Democratic National Convention. It was eight years ago when

931
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 15: Cecile Richards for the first time said the word abortion

932
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 15: on a Democratic National Convention Committee stage.

933
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 12: And to be here in.

934
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 15: This moment and to witness those three incredibly powerful stories, Yeah,

935
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 15: to help make meaning of what these bands are. We

936
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 15: could talk about twenty two states, I could tell you, you know,

937
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 15: more than half of black women are being impacted these

938
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 15: but it really comes down to the storytelling.

939
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 7: And I think they really.

940
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 12: Nailed up when we talk about their coming for abortion.

941
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: This is embryonic personhood taught to us about the larger

942
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: what that.

943
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 12: Means in the landscape.

944
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you can see the seeds of this

945
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 15: happening through a number of poor cases, is the way

946
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 15: in which the Supreme coort, in rejecting a couple of

947
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 15: decisions or sending a couple of decisions back down. Over

948
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 15: this past term, have been trying to create some of

949
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 15: the seeds of talking about personhood and what that would mean.

950
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: Right, there were.

951
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 15: Constitutional protections for non on people. The amount of control

952
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 15: that that could have over women's lives. Yeah, right, And

953
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 15: I think we've always been clear that abortion bands were

954
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 15: never about stopping abortion.

955
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 12: They were never about healthcare. They were never about.

956
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 15: Protecting and saving lives of people who were being impacted.

957
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 15: They've always been about powered and control and everything that

958
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 15: they can do to find a way to come, for

959
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 15: contraception to come, for IBM to come, for no fault,

960
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 15: to be ways to keep us bound in whatever way

961
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 15: is essentially the essence and the value of what the

962
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 15: oppositions are trying to do.

963
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: So true, here we have now finally a candidate, an

964
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: in repairent to the party, who really can speak on

965
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: women's health in a very modern way.

966
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 12: Tell me why that's important, you know, because we need.

967
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 15: The language, right. I mean, culture always moves before policy.

968
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 15: We know this, and here we are in a moment

969
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 15: where culture is with us. Right, the majority of people

970
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 15: have believed that, you know, we should have fundamental rights

971
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 15: to control our own requituction healthcare, our own healthcare right,

972
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 15: our own privacy related to healthcare. And yet like state

973
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 15: after state, twenty two states have now put these atrocious

974
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 15: fans on the books, and they are using some of

975
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 15: these states to create laboratories to come for some of

976
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 15: the other things that we have been talking about. Right,

977
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 15: it's like Oklahoma, we're the right to travel across state line.

978
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 9: Right.

979
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 15: They're starting with miners to like see how far then

980
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 15: they can push the imagination and if they say, well,

981
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 15: if it's not right for them, then why is it

982
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 15: okay for you know, someone a little bit older. So

983
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 15: they're pushing these boundaries to test and see what would

984
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 15: land and stick. And so I think it's really important

985
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 15: to have a vice president who has taken on the issue,

986
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 15: not just from a policy standpoint, not just from understand

987
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 15: the judiciary and you.

988
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 12: Know, the legal framework for it, but someone who can actually.

989
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 15: Give voice to the impact that's happening to so many

990
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 15: patients and miners are cross Optygon that there's been a

991
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 15: lot of really misogynistic language, childless cat ladies, post metopausal women.

992
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 12: Where does this come from?

993
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 15: I mean a very deep seating or I mean it

994
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 15: is misogyny, right is. I think when we say it's

995
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 15: about power control, it's like getting under that is. It

996
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 15: is a fear of gender and racial.

997
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 12: Progress, right right?

998
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 15: And so I think we have to name the fact

999
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 15: that the kind of pinterplay between misogyny and white supremacy

1000
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 15: and moment around reproductive rights and freedom, that that language

1001
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 15: is just trying to it's a distraction, right, So we'll

1002
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 15: go up and we'll kind of like crow about that

1003
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 15: while they're actually taking away our rights, right, you know,

1004
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 15: and you know, stopping us from you know, getting access

1005
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 15: to emergency care in Idaho, Like oh yeah, we're flying

1006
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 15: women out you know, my hairlifts. Yeah, you know, and

1007
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 15: they're like, oh yeah, but look at that Chaldvick Salad.

1008
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: One last question about m Dala, the Idaho case. The

1009
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: current administration has really worked hard to try and push

1010
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: against these rules and get women this life saving care.

1011
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 12: In the end, where are we with that?

1012
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 7: Look?

1013
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 15: I mean there's a pin court her two cases this title,

1014
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 15: one on me for pristone and one on the talent.

1015
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 15: And you know in both of those cases, you know,

1016
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 15: the the MIF for pristone case, there was not that

1017
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 15: they decided there was not standing.

1018
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 12: Right, which of course there wasn't at first.

1019
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 15: There was not standing, but they took the case up anyway,

1020
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 15: and the way they sent it back down was to

1021
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 15: kind of create a trail of Bencombs. Right, say, if

1022
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 15: you really wanted to try this case for others, you

1023
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 15: could do how you do it, same thing with them

1024
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 15: tall Right, if you really wanted to have a conversation

1025
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 15: around person, you really wanted to have a conversation around federalistm.

1026
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 12: Like, here are the ways in which we would design

1027
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 12: that for you.

1028
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 15: So you know, obviously states still have to provide the

1029
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 15: emergency care again, and that is the place where you know,

1030
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 15: we should still be very alarmed by what's happening stayed

1031
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 15: by state. But the ultimate end game is not the

1032
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 15: two cases that we're taking up, right, They're really about

1033
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 15: how to create the paths work and the framework to.

1034
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 12: Get to the world that they were imagining. Yeah, which

1035
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 12: is horrible Project twenty twenty five bringing all aun right.

1036
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 15: It is taking away multiple freedoms from communities and taking

1037
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 15: away the progress on doing the progress that we've made

1038
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 15: over the.
