WEBVTT - Lessons Not Learned?  Lanhee Chen Talks to Armstrong & Getty.

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>See Armstrong and Jetty show little stugg Because what we

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>must understand in the city, state, and country is that

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>practical is progressive. That's what that's the progressive is. If

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>you were just talking about closing only the building of

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Riker's Island, that's not progressive. Close the pipeline at eads

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Riker's Island. I am practical and I am progressive. We've

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>allowed that turn to be hijacked. And I'm not going

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>to allow anyone to tell me that my policies are

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>not progressive to deal with housing, to deal with coach

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>tail and these important issues that we are facing. But

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that's what I say to my colleges across this country.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>We need real issues to solve, real problems to everyday

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>people in this country. Sit Arriic Adams, who is going

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to be the mayor of New York City, and he

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>ran on law and order and cracking down and adding

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to the police, not defunding the police, and uh he

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>could be a template for Democrats in the same way

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>that Yo them could be a template for Republicans. Perhaps,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna try to extrapolate, maybe we'll talk about

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that with long eachamp. But we have breaking news that

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I think is important, breaking breaking news, and the breaking news. Donkey,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>this is breaking news. Nancy Pelosi has officially announced that

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>four weeks have paid family and medical leave are being

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>added back in to the social spending bill, so making

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it more progressive. So is this the old switcher rule?

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Is she trying to kill it? I have been saying

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>all day long. I only care about these results last night.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:43.919
<v Speaker 1>If they kill these trillion dollar turn us into France bills.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>If they don't, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>matter if if the if the if the, if the

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>grow the government crowd always wins on policy. I don't

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>care about the individual elections. If only we had someone

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>we could talk about who's an expert in domestic police

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>see well, Lan hea Chan is the candidate for California

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>State Controller of these days. He's on leave from the

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Hoover Institution, Director of Domestic Policy Studies at Stanford University.

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It's been too long on he how are you hey?

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Great to be with you guys again. Thank you. Almost

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>almost expired from COVID last Friday. I'm I'm vaccinated. I

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>got the COVID. Was sickest I ever been a moment well,

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to hear you're on the men, and I

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>was sorry to here, but I'm glad you're fighting your

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>way through it. So let's go to that breaking news.

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Lon he What do you think Nancy's up to? What

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>are the prospects of the semi legitimate infrastructure Bill and

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the gigantic Build Back Better Bill in your mind? Well,

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think last night, with what happened in

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Virginia and what we're seeing, you know, play out in

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey, I think there's a lot of people who

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>are panicked right now and they're trying to figure out

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 1>what does it mean for next year, and in particular

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>in Congress. You know, the the supposition was always that

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Republicans would have an advantage, you know Itdem's first mid

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 1>term next year was going to be a good cycle

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>for Republicans they pick up seats in the House and Senate.

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>But I think last night really punctuated that and and

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 1>part of I think the effort here is I think

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Democrats need to figure out what direction their party is

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>going to go in. Are they going to go toward

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>increased progressivism, increased wokeism and double down on you know,

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>in my view, the kinds of things that failed last night,

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>or are they going to try and turn in the direction.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>It seems like the announcement from Pelosi suggests that maybe

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>they haven't learned those lessons, and they believe that they

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>need to to to continue to move in in that

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>progressive direction. But to your guys point, who knows is

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>this an act of sabotage? Is this something something else?

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I really don't know. It's too early to tell. But

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>last night a lot of lessons to be learned, I

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>think by both parties. Well, here's here's what bothers me

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>with that kind of analysis. When I hear and you're

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a policy guy, so I know you care about policy.

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>You've advised campaigns on this sort of stuff. I hear

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>regularly about how Obama overreached with a bomb Acare and

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>he was punished in the mid terms. They lost sixties

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>some seats in the House. Who freaking cares. The Democrats

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>got what they wanted, put using on, putting us on

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the road to universal healthcare, and the same here if

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Polosi gets the turn us into France bills through

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>who cares? If they get punished next year? They won,

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>They got all these policies that I hate through. So

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>isn't it about the policies and not the whether they

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>get punished afterwards? Yeah, it is about the policies. Except

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>what I would say in this regard is what will

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>prevent them from passing those policies over the next several

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>weeks is the fear of what happens next year. So yes,

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>in retrospect, you're right. If they get the policy and

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>they continue to move us in this big government direction,

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that is, you know, that's not a good outcome. But

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>we are still at a point in time now where

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>things can change, and we're still at a point in

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 1>time now where the election results from last night, which

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I think we're pretty significant, can still have a pretty

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>substantial impact on what happens with the policy going forward.

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's the sort of silver lining. But

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. Look, if if we've already had

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>six trillion dollars at fiscal stimulus, I don't think people

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>even realize how much six trillion dollars did. People don't

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.359
<v Speaker 1>now now we're talking about adding whatever it is, a

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>trillion and a half. I mean, at this point, the

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>fact that we are even sort of saying, oh, only

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>a trillion and a half. That is mind boggling to me. So,

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think people just need to understand that

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>what what the best thing that can come out of

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>last night would be a recognition from a policy perspective

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that there will be serious costs for moderate Democrats who

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>vote for massive additional expansions in government. And I think

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>that is something that certainly could be a lesson learned

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>last night, And if it is, I think that'd be

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>good news. Well you read my mind. I was just

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>going to bring up the prospects of the dozens and

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>dozens of moderate Democratic congress people who are up for

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>election every two years. They have to have take Can

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 1>a lesson. They've had to have taken note of what

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>happened last night in Virginia. But having said that, let's

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.799
<v Speaker 1>let's focus for a minute on what happened in Virginia.

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Glenn Young Can, the Republican came from a way down

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to to beat Terry mccauliffe, longtime fixture in Democrat politics.

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I also think he's a soulless piece of garbage. But

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.039
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's a little editorializing on. My parents have

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>no business telling schools out of teacher kids. So you

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>had him lose having said that, which is one of

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>the all time great exposures. Uh, you can call it

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a gaff, but he exposed himself, uh, and what he

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>really believes. But you had Republicans also win lieutenant governor

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>an attorney general in a state which is increasingly solidly blue. Lani,

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Why what happened? Well, I mean there's a lot of things.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So first of all, you guys have set the scenes

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.039
<v Speaker 1>very well. Virginia is a state that pundits have been saying,

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Republicans have no shot in right. This is

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a state that went from being a toss up state

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>into thousand four or even two thousand eight to having uh,

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, pretty solid democratic majorities as we moved into

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the more recent era. And then what you saw last

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>night was a complete see change. I mean, you saw

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a fifteen point flip, for example, amongst suburban women in

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>their support for Joe Biden in and then just one

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>year later, guys, it's not even talking about several years.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 1>This is one year later, those voters went dramatically in

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>favor of Glenn Yunkin and the ability of Yuncan to

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>compete in the suburbs, the ability to compete with populations.

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh that that frankly, we have not been competitive within

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Virginia for a couple of cycles. I think that is

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that that's the biggest point that we need to take

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>coming out of this, which is a lot of debate

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 1>will happen over how much of Virginia is replicable, how

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>much of what happened last night we could see in

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>other states. But fundamentally, what young can showed is if

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you've got a candidate who's focused on state issues, he

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>was running for governor, he wasn't talking about national politics.

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>He was focused on what can he do to make

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the lives of Virginia's better. That focus is appealing to

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>people in the suburbs. It's appealing to women, it's appealing

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to constituencies that Republicans have struggled with in recent years.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>So in that sense, I think a lot can be

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>learned because you've got a lot of these states, Colorado,

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>even California where the suburban slide has been a big

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>problem for Republicans, and I think young and and Republicans

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>showed in Virginia that they can win, and that's a

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>very important message. So many Democrats think Twitter is the

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>real world, and I hope they continue to think that

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>because they will lose a lot if they continue to

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>think twitters were real world. That's what doomed Kamala Harris's campaign,

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what it is going to doom a lot of people.

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 1>But I would say you can replicate it if you

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>can convince your opponent to say parents should have no

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>role in the school's teaching of the kids. If you

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>can get your opponent to say that, it will help

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Although Lane, let me let me give you

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>the other point of view, which I believe, which is

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>if you can communicate that the left is so down

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.079
<v Speaker 1>with the teachers union and so not down with parents

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and kids, you can take that juice and maybe run

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>with it a bit. Yeah. I mean, look, I think

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that the position that Terry mccaulliffe articulated is not that

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.119
<v Speaker 1>far from where you know a lot of Democrats, particularly

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>in blue states, are particularly those running for office, because

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the pressures that those candidates face, they believe they have

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to bow to those constituencies, even if they're doing so

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to the point of absurdity. The notion that parents shouldn't

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 1>have any say in what their kids are learning is ludicrous.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>It's ludicrous in Virginia, it's ludicrous in California. But that's

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the point of view that a lot of these guys

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>have to take because that's where the modern Democratic Party is.

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>The point is that the progressive, the far left progressive movement,

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this woke ism we're seeing has co

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>opted a lot of mainstream quote unquote mainstream Democrats. And

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>so what TERR McCall have said is not some crazy,

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of like out of left field thing. It's the

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>position of the modern day Democratic Party. I think we

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>have to acknowledge that. And that's why the Democratic Party

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 1>is going to have problems in two whether it's in

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>states like Virginia or Colorado or yeah, even California. I

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>think they're going to have issues even here too. So

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, again, we just have to recognize it for

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>what it is. It is not a position that is

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>a a a deviant position within the Democratic Party. It

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>is a mainstream position now within the Democratic Party. Yeah,

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.679
<v Speaker 1>like I've said earlier, it only matters to me if

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>it's if it's enough of a wake up call for

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>modern Democrats to not allow these bills to pass pass.

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd like it if neither one of these bills passed.

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>But you know, Nancy Pelosi is a salty old bag,

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>my words, not yours. Um what I wonder what she's

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>up to. What do you think, Joe? What the whole

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna put the the paid leave back in. Joe

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Mention has specifically said, no, that's a that's a line

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I won't cross. He specifically said that's a red line

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>for him. And she's putting it back in. I've got

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.319
<v Speaker 1>to admit to being mystified. My assumption would be that

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>she would feel like her true arch nemesis, which is

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the far lefties, the squad at all, that they would

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>have the wind taken out of their sales, and she

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>was gonna absolutely yank the party moderate towards the moderate

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and and get that infrastructure. When I'm mystified by this move, Lona,

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>he do you have any thoughts? Well? You look in.

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Part of it also is while Pelosi may have instincts

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to move things back towards the middle of what, she

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>also realizes that she's stuck between a rock and a

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>hard place because she needs she needs that far left

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 1>progressive base to turn out, and so she's got a

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>turnout problem as well. We'll have to see what happened.

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the Virginia data is still coming in.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Obviously on turnout, we know Republicans turned out last night.

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>The question is did Democrats turn out and did the

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Democrats that that that mccauliffe needed to win. They clearly

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the part of this. Maybe it's now play. I'm not

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>the directive domestic policy studies anywhere except maybe on this show. Um,

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>but it just occurred to me. Okay, so the build

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>back better things gonna go down in flames. I believe that,

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and I pray I'm right. But to help future turn out,

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>it's now all about virtue signaling. So she's adding back

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>everything that pulls reasonably decently, and it's gonna haul herself

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>up on the cross. She's gonna scream and yell for

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>it and demand it and make it clear that the

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party is trying to get this for you, knowing

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it won't pass. Yes, stranger things that happened, Stranger things

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>have happened. Well, I was expecting, Joe, you're a genius,

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:47.559
<v Speaker 1>but I'll take that right now. You're just flattering me. Lanten,

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>candidate for California State Controller, Director of Public Policy Studies

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>at Stanford University. Lannie, we could talk to you all day, Jack,

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>you got one more. No, appreciate your time, Lani appreciated,

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>always enjoyed so much. Thanks. Great to be with you guys.

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, you got it. I hadn't gotten to this

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 1>quote yet from another Blue check mark. Lefty Republicans are

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>able to feed their base misinformation directly through their news outlets.

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 1>The Democratic Party needs to figure out ways two more

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>actively court it's base voters on a regular basis. You

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>are blanking kidding me. Other than all of the legacy media, elementary, middle,

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>high schools, and colleges, yeah, all of the schooling, all

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of the legacy media, Hollywood and pop culture. Other than that, yeah,

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, you've got nothing. It's weird. Probably how

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to just just be quiet now, they're so delusional and

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 1>so off base. The best thing we can do is

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>just be quiet. I think you're right. That's the only

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>thing that makes sense to me. She realizes it's gonna

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>die now anyway. So let's put the good stuff in

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>there that the real Wolke loved, you know, so so

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 1>that they I'm on board with that. It's no longer

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>about passing it. It's about signaling to the base. Put

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the candy back in. Yeah there interesting, You have any

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.080
