1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: See Armstrong and Jetty show little stugg Because what we 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: must understand in the city, state, and country is that 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: practical is progressive. That's what that's the progressive is. If 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: you were just talking about closing only the building of 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: Riker's Island, that's not progressive. Close the pipeline at eads 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Riker's Island. I am practical and I am progressive. We've 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: allowed that turn to be hijacked. And I'm not going 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: to allow anyone to tell me that my policies are 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: not progressive to deal with housing, to deal with coach 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: tail and these important issues that we are facing. But 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: that's what I say to my colleges across this country. 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: We need real issues to solve, real problems to everyday 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: people in this country. Sit Arriic Adams, who is going 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: to be the mayor of New York City, and he 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: ran on law and order and cracking down and adding 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: to the police, not defunding the police, and uh he 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: could be a template for Democrats in the same way 18 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: that Yo them could be a template for Republicans. Perhaps, 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: if you're gonna try to extrapolate, maybe we'll talk about 20 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: that with long eachamp. But we have breaking news that 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: I think is important, breaking breaking news, and the breaking news. Donkey, 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: this is breaking news. Nancy Pelosi has officially announced that 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: four weeks have paid family and medical leave are being 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: added back in to the social spending bill, so making 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: it more progressive. So is this the old switcher rule? 26 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: Is she trying to kill it? I have been saying 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: all day long. I only care about these results last night. 28 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 1: If they kill these trillion dollar turn us into France bills. 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: If they don't, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: matter if if the if the if the, if the 31 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: grow the government crowd always wins on policy. I don't 32 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: care about the individual elections. If only we had someone 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: we could talk about who's an expert in domestic police 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: see well, Lan hea Chan is the candidate for California 35 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: State Controller of these days. He's on leave from the 36 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: Hoover Institution, Director of Domestic Policy Studies at Stanford University. 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: It's been too long on he how are you hey? 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: Great to be with you guys again. Thank you. Almost 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: almost expired from COVID last Friday. I'm I'm vaccinated. I 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: got the COVID. Was sickest I ever been a moment well, 41 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear you're on the men, and I 42 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: was sorry to here, but I'm glad you're fighting your 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: way through it. So let's go to that breaking news. 44 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Lon he What do you think Nancy's up to? What 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: are the prospects of the semi legitimate infrastructure Bill and 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: the gigantic Build Back Better Bill in your mind? Well, 47 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think last night, with what happened in 48 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: Virginia and what we're seeing, you know, play out in 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: New Jersey, I think there's a lot of people who 50 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: are panicked right now and they're trying to figure out 51 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: what does it mean for next year, and in particular 52 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: in Congress. You know, the the supposition was always that 53 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: Republicans would have an advantage, you know Itdem's first mid 54 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: term next year was going to be a good cycle 55 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: for Republicans they pick up seats in the House and Senate. 56 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: But I think last night really punctuated that and and 57 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: part of I think the effort here is I think 58 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Democrats need to figure out what direction their party is 59 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: going to go in. Are they going to go toward 60 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: increased progressivism, increased wokeism and double down on you know, 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: in my view, the kinds of things that failed last night, 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: or are they going to try and turn in the direction. 63 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: It seems like the announcement from Pelosi suggests that maybe 64 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: they haven't learned those lessons, and they believe that they 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: need to to to continue to move in in that 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: progressive direction. But to your guys point, who knows is 67 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: this an act of sabotage? Is this something something else? 68 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: I really don't know. It's too early to tell. But 69 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: last night a lot of lessons to be learned, I 70 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: think by both parties. Well, here's here's what bothers me 71 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: with that kind of analysis. When I hear and you're 72 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: a policy guy, so I know you care about policy. 73 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: You've advised campaigns on this sort of stuff. I hear 74 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: regularly about how Obama overreached with a bomb Acare and 75 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: he was punished in the mid terms. They lost sixties 76 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: some seats in the House. Who freaking cares. The Democrats 77 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: got what they wanted, put using on, putting us on 78 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: the road to universal healthcare, and the same here if 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: Nancy Polosi gets the turn us into France bills through 80 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: who cares? If they get punished next year? They won, 81 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: They got all these policies that I hate through. So 82 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: isn't it about the policies and not the whether they 83 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: get punished afterwards? Yeah, it is about the policies. Except 84 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: what I would say in this regard is what will 85 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: prevent them from passing those policies over the next several 86 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: weeks is the fear of what happens next year. So yes, 87 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: in retrospect, you're right. If they get the policy and 88 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: they continue to move us in this big government direction, 89 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: that is, you know, that's not a good outcome. But 90 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: we are still at a point in time now where 91 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: things can change, and we're still at a point in 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: time now where the election results from last night, which 93 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: I think we're pretty significant, can still have a pretty 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: substantial impact on what happens with the policy going forward. 95 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: So I think that's the sort of silver lining. But 96 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Look, if if we've already had 97 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: six trillion dollars at fiscal stimulus, I don't think people 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: even realize how much six trillion dollars did. People don't 99 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: now now we're talking about adding whatever it is, a 100 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: trillion and a half. I mean, at this point, the 101 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: fact that we are even sort of saying, oh, only 102 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: a trillion and a half. That is mind boggling to me. So, 103 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think people just need to understand that 104 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: what what the best thing that can come out of 105 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: last night would be a recognition from a policy perspective 106 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: that there will be serious costs for moderate Democrats who 107 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: vote for massive additional expansions in government. And I think 108 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: that is something that certainly could be a lesson learned 109 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: last night, And if it is, I think that'd be 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: good news. Well you read my mind. I was just 111 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: going to bring up the prospects of the dozens and 112 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: dozens of moderate Democratic congress people who are up for 113 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: election every two years. They have to have take Can 114 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: a lesson. They've had to have taken note of what 115 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: happened last night in Virginia. But having said that, let's 116 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: let's focus for a minute on what happened in Virginia. 117 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: Glenn Young Can, the Republican came from a way down 118 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: to to beat Terry mccauliffe, longtime fixture in Democrat politics. 119 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: I also think he's a soulless piece of garbage. But 120 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: that's a that's a little editorializing on. My parents have 121 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: no business telling schools out of teacher kids. So you 122 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: had him lose having said that, which is one of 123 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: the all time great exposures. Uh, you can call it 124 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: a gaff, but he exposed himself, uh, and what he 125 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: really believes. But you had Republicans also win lieutenant governor 126 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: an attorney general in a state which is increasingly solidly blue. Lani, 127 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: Why what happened? Well, I mean there's a lot of things. 128 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: So first of all, you guys have set the scenes 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: very well. Virginia is a state that pundits have been saying, 130 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: you know, Republicans have no shot in right. This is 131 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: a state that went from being a toss up state 132 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: into thousand four or even two thousand eight to having uh, 133 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: you know, pretty solid democratic majorities as we moved into 134 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: the more recent era. And then what you saw last 135 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: night was a complete see change. I mean, you saw 136 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: a fifteen point flip, for example, amongst suburban women in 137 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: their support for Joe Biden in and then just one 138 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: year later, guys, it's not even talking about several years. 139 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: This is one year later, those voters went dramatically in 140 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: favor of Glenn Yunkin and the ability of Yuncan to 141 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: compete in the suburbs, the ability to compete with populations. 142 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: Uh that that frankly, we have not been competitive within 143 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: Virginia for a couple of cycles. I think that is 144 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: that that's the biggest point that we need to take 145 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: coming out of this, which is a lot of debate 146 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: will happen over how much of Virginia is replicable, how 147 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: much of what happened last night we could see in 148 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: other states. But fundamentally, what young can showed is if 149 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: you've got a candidate who's focused on state issues, he 150 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: was running for governor, he wasn't talking about national politics. 151 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: He was focused on what can he do to make 152 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: the lives of Virginia's better. That focus is appealing to 153 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: people in the suburbs. It's appealing to women, it's appealing 154 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: to constituencies that Republicans have struggled with in recent years. 155 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: So in that sense, I think a lot can be 156 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: learned because you've got a lot of these states, Colorado, 157 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: even California where the suburban slide has been a big 158 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: problem for Republicans, and I think young and and Republicans 159 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: showed in Virginia that they can win, and that's a 160 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: very important message. So many Democrats think Twitter is the 161 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: real world, and I hope they continue to think that 162 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: because they will lose a lot if they continue to 163 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: think twitters were real world. That's what doomed Kamala Harris's campaign, 164 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: That's what it is going to doom a lot of people. 165 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: But I would say you can replicate it if you 166 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: can convince your opponent to say parents should have no 167 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: role in the school's teaching of the kids. If you 168 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: can get your opponent to say that, it will help 169 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: a lot. Although Lane, let me let me give you 170 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: the other point of view, which I believe, which is 171 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: if you can communicate that the left is so down 172 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: with the teachers union and so not down with parents 173 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: and kids, you can take that juice and maybe run 174 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: with it a bit. Yeah. I mean, look, I think 175 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: that the position that Terry mccaulliffe articulated is not that 176 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,119 Speaker 1: far from where you know a lot of Democrats, particularly 177 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: in blue states, are particularly those running for office, because 178 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: the pressures that those candidates face, they believe they have 179 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: to bow to those constituencies, even if they're doing so 180 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: to the point of absurdity. The notion that parents shouldn't 181 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: have any say in what their kids are learning is ludicrous. 182 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: It's ludicrous in Virginia, it's ludicrous in California. But that's 183 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: the point of view that a lot of these guys 184 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: have to take because that's where the modern Democratic Party is. 185 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: The point is that the progressive, the far left progressive movement, 186 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: a lot of this woke ism we're seeing has co 187 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: opted a lot of mainstream quote unquote mainstream Democrats. And 188 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: so what TERR McCall have said is not some crazy, 189 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: kind of like out of left field thing. It's the 190 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: position of the modern day Democratic Party. I think we 191 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: have to acknowledge that. And that's why the Democratic Party 192 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: is going to have problems in two whether it's in 193 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: states like Virginia or Colorado or yeah, even California. I 194 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: think they're going to have issues even here too. So 195 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: you know, again, we just have to recognize it for 196 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: what it is. It is not a position that is 197 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: a a a deviant position within the Democratic Party. It 198 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: is a mainstream position now within the Democratic Party. Yeah, 199 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: like I've said earlier, it only matters to me if 200 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: it's if it's enough of a wake up call for 201 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: modern Democrats to not allow these bills to pass pass. 202 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: I'd like it if neither one of these bills passed. 203 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: But you know, Nancy Pelosi is a salty old bag, 204 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: my words, not yours. Um what I wonder what she's 205 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: up to. What do you think, Joe? What the whole 206 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna put the the paid leave back in. Joe 207 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: Mention has specifically said, no, that's a that's a line 208 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: I won't cross. He specifically said that's a red line 209 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: for him. And she's putting it back in. I've got 210 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: to admit to being mystified. My assumption would be that 211 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: she would feel like her true arch nemesis, which is 212 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: the far lefties, the squad at all, that they would 213 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: have the wind taken out of their sales, and she 214 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: was gonna absolutely yank the party moderate towards the moderate 215 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: and and get that infrastructure. When I'm mystified by this move, Lona, 216 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: he do you have any thoughts? Well? You look in. 217 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: Part of it also is while Pelosi may have instincts 218 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: to move things back towards the middle of what, she 219 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: also realizes that she's stuck between a rock and a 220 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: hard place because she needs she needs that far left 221 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: progressive base to turn out, and so she's got a 222 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: turnout problem as well. We'll have to see what happened. 223 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: By the way, the Virginia data is still coming in. 224 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Obviously on turnout, we know Republicans turned out last night. 225 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: The question is did Democrats turn out and did the 226 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: Democrats that that that mccauliffe needed to win. They clearly 227 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: the part of this. Maybe it's now play. I'm not 228 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: the directive domestic policy studies anywhere except maybe on this show. Um, 229 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: but it just occurred to me. Okay, so the build 230 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: back better things gonna go down in flames. I believe that, 231 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: and I pray I'm right. But to help future turn out, 232 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: it's now all about virtue signaling. So she's adding back 233 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: everything that pulls reasonably decently, and it's gonna haul herself 234 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: up on the cross. She's gonna scream and yell for 235 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: it and demand it and make it clear that the 236 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is trying to get this for you, knowing 237 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: it won't pass. Yes, stranger things that happened, Stranger things 238 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: have happened. Well, I was expecting, Joe, you're a genius, 239 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: but I'll take that right now. You're just flattering me. Lanten, 240 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: candidate for California State Controller, Director of Public Policy Studies 241 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: at Stanford University. Lannie, we could talk to you all day, Jack, 242 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: you got one more. No, appreciate your time, Lani appreciated, 243 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: always enjoyed so much. Thanks. Great to be with you guys. 244 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, you got it. I hadn't gotten to this 245 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: quote yet from another Blue check mark. Lefty Republicans are 246 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: able to feed their base misinformation directly through their news outlets. 247 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party needs to figure out ways two more 248 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: actively court it's base voters on a regular basis. You 249 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: are blanking kidding me. Other than all of the legacy media, elementary, middle, 250 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: high schools, and colleges, yeah, all of the schooling, all 251 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: of the legacy media, Hollywood and pop culture. Other than that, yeah, 252 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: Other than that, you've got nothing. It's weird. Probably how 253 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: to just just be quiet now, they're so delusional and 254 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: so off base. The best thing we can do is 255 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: just be quiet. I think you're right. That's the only 256 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: thing that makes sense to me. She realizes it's gonna 257 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: die now anyway. So let's put the good stuff in 258 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: there that the real Wolke loved, you know, so so 259 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: that they I'm on board with that. It's no longer 260 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: about passing it. It's about signaling to the base. Put 261 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: the candy back in. Yeah there interesting, You have any 262 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: thoughts text line four five two nine five k f 263 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: TC
