1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics,

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: where we discussed the top political headlines with some of

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: today's best minds.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: We have another star studded show for you today. Senator

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Kristin Jilibrand stops by to talk to us about her

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: interesting plan to pass the Equal Rights A Member. Then

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison about how

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Tim Walls figures into the masculine discussion in the election. Next,

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Senator Ron Winden, we'll talk to us about the dynamics

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: of the Senate in twenty twenty four. And lastly we

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 2: have Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis will tell us about

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: what happens when the government actually works for the people.

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: But first, we have a portion from Politics as Unusual's

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: live show in San Francisco at the Swedish American Hall,

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: where Rick and Bally did some disgusting of politics and

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: answered a few of the audience's questions.

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: We're going to play that for you.

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 4: Now we're going to talk about media malpractice here.

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: There were reports that said Trump agrees to three debates, right,

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: he just made that up. He was like, we're gonna

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: go Fox News debate. No one had agreed to a

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Fox foxers.

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: Didn't know anything about it. But he was like, we

24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: will debate on Greenland, the ice sheet. It will fight

25
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: to the death with knives.

26
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: And then the debate that had been agreed upon was

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: the ABC debate. But then he was saying, wow, George, right,

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: stop Adams. He doesn't like him. He's very unfair. He

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: asked very unfair questions. It's very unfair.

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: He's super fair. He's nasty.

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: He's a nasty man. But he had agreed on it.

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Now they're back and forth on muting the mics. But

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: the truth is, and again this is the mainstream media problem.

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: Nothing take you take Donald Trump at his word.

35
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: You lose right, like he is never so I mean it?

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: So I think you know, does he do it? So

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: here's the question. He needs to change the narrative. So

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: he wants to do this debate because right now he

39
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: is just cratering in the polls and she's doing better

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: and better.

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 3: His people are petrified that he's going to do this debate.

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

43
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: Yes, they are doing everything they can to poison the well.

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: Right.

45
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 4: I think his kids, yeah.

46
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: I think the kids too. But inside his campaign, they

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: are paralyzed with fear right now because they know there's

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: a really meaningful possibility. And we've got a betting pool

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 3: inside the Lincoln Project of when he's gonna say the

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: N word, and you know he's gonna. He's so tempted

51
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: because she's everything he hates. She's black, she's smarter than

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: he is, she's a prosecutor, she's better on camera, she's

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: a woman.

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 4: And remember when he said, Johnald Trump.

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: Said, I believe I'm better looking than come L. Harris.

56
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got very obsessed with that drawing in the Times.

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: Jesse is madded, he's, oh no, he's happy with us.

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: Oh good, he's happy.

59
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 6: Are you happy?

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 3: All right? Well good? And that means I don't have

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: to wear the shot collar on the next show.

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right, the lightning.

63
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I think that thing where he

64
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: was like that Time magazine, she looks so beautiful. The

65
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: drawing was so good. Why was the drawing so good?

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: I never have such a good drawing.

67
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: So my friend Maya May who co hosts the show

68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: with me, we were in Chicago and we're sitting there

69
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: talking at dinner the first night of the convention, and

70
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: she looks at me. She goes, oh my god, I

71
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: figured it out. Like what she's like, he wants to

72
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: fuck her? And I was like, no, oh wait, oh wait,

73
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: because this guy is he is just that shallow. He

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: is just that superficial.

75
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: And would you rather be with Trump or Dougie? I'd

76
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: rather be with Douggie.

77
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: Listen, Douggie Dougie as a fellow ball bro. We have

78
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: to up the charm when we lose the hair.

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: He's got games, He's got Dougie's got game.

80
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: I mean it's also possible that Trump is bald too. Oh,

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: I mean, not to that.

82
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: Whatever that confection of like sprayed lemur fur on his

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: head is, I don't think of it is give it

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: his hair?

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

86
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Trump, So okay, let's do this right now.

87
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: And if we're wrong, you can yell at us. Does

88
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: he debate?

89
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: Yes or no?

90
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: He debates because he can't resist the spotlight? Jesus, he

91
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: is he is addicted. He is addicted to attention, like

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 3: the worst possible addiction you can imagine.

93
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 4: And does he lose Oh god, yeah.

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: All right now, I will say this though. I will

95
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: say this.

96
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: Though, Does it meanstream media cover it like he won.

97
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: Yes, they will say, mister Trump presented his points forcefully,

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: when Donald Trump is basically going to be like a

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: monkey in the zoo throwing his feces right right. But

100
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: here's where I think she really has to win this debate.

101
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: She will intellectually crush this guy. She will roll him

102
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: over because he will say the Buddha, the Buddha's She'll

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: go at him, she'll tear him apart. She's a prosecutor.

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: The one thing she has to watch out for is

105
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: Trump doing his big foot act the work when he

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: comes over. And I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: know you guys don't like George W. Bush, But there's

108
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: a debate thing, not a politics thing. When you wait

109
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: a second, it's important. When al Gore whipped his ass

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: in the first debate in Boston, and I was there,

111
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: it was bad. It was ugly. The next debate, al

112
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: Gore was kind of cocky, and he walked out from

113
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: behind his podium. He walks over towards the W and

114
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: W's got about's about two feet shorter than than al Gore.

115
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: But w stepped out from behind his podium and did

116
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: this little thing step up to me that physicality means

117
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: something people watch, that sort of thing. She needs when

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: Donald Trump start starts hovering over her to turn around

119
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: and put her finger in his chest and get the

120
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: fuck back.

121
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

122
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: And and and this is the way in which Harris

123
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: is very different than than Biden by far.

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 4: She will she.

125
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: Will tell him to you know, and that and I

126
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: think that's a real one of the things we don't

127
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: talk about.

128
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: I would if I were her, I would say, Donald,

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: get the get the hell back from me. I'm not

130
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: one of your victims.

131
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: Right. Well, she just also.

132
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: See I'm good at this ship. I know what I'm doing.

133
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: Yes, but she also just is is much tougher. I

134
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: mean again, we're not Biden was. It has been a

135
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: spectacular president, maybe one of the best presidents of my lifetime.

136
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: And and you know.

137
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: The man when you look at the hand he was

138
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: dealt coming in soft landing, right, we had an economic

139
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: soft one in here.

140
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

141
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: He got us out of the the burning building of COVID.

142
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: He passed three big significant piece of legislation that actually

143
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: mean something. Yeah, got him done in a bipartisan fashion,

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 3: which nobody gives him credit for doing. And at the

145
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: end of it.

146
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Took really horrible personal attacks and at his living children.

147
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and at the end of the day probably made

148
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: one of the most courageous personal decisions you can imagine. Yeah,

149
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: I can't, I can't.

150
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: But yes, so, but but he's not as tough as

151
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: she is.

152
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: But so the question on the question before this house

153
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: is will Donald Trump debate? I think he will because

154
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: he's an addict.

155
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and needs to change the storyline, right, he

156
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: needs to change it.

157
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: I think you will too, because he needs to change

158
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: and I just think it's too hard for him to

159
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: say no.

160
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: But the other part of it, too is Trump is

161
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: nervous about it. We know this from inside the campaign.

162
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: We know this from reporting because here's the thing. He

163
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: won the lottery in that debate. He had a million

164
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: to one night that much. Yeah, where nothing went right

165
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: for Joe Biden. And it was at the.

166
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: End, so it wasn't great. You saw the if you read.

167
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: The transcript of Trump, you think he was a guy

168
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: who'd been out back of the waffle house drinking plastic

169
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: bottle vodka for a couple of hours. Yeah.

170
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: And also, and if you looked at undecided voters in

171
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: the focus groups, they didn't like him.

172
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: No, yeah, so we we we you know. Look, I

173
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: think he does it. I think he's gonna get whipped.

174
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

175
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: And if he if he gets whipped in the first one,

176
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: if he gets whipped in the first one, as I anticipate.

177
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: He will, yeah, then he drops.

178
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: We'll spend the rest of the campaign golfing. Yeah, he'll

179
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 3: check out his ego. Is that weird?

180
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? But I also think he But he also doesn't

181
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: really have the end.

182
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the things you see is he's

183
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: not really traveling in this.

184
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: The guy golfs three days a week, and one of

185
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 3: our sources inside their world the other day. It's the

186
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: same person, clearly who told the Times they really wanted

187
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: him to not watch the convention and so and so

188
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: he was watching it on the golf course on his phone. Yeah,

189
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: he was watching it in the residence at Bedminster on

190
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,239
Speaker 3: his phone and was firing off all those thirty truths.

191
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: During Harris's speech, all I can say is, is.

192
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: She talking about me?

193
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: About me? I might know, Donald, And she's not going

194
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: to go to the prom with you either.

195
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: My favorite one, my favorite one was The War's Hunter.

196
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, buddy, like that was a that was a

197
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: different guy.

198
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: Look, Donald has lost his mojo on social media. He's

199
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: on trash social every day. His dollar store knockoff of Twitter.

200
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: By the way, I will never call it X. You

201
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: can hook me up to jumper cables and I'm never

202
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: calling it X. It's Twitter till I die.

203
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: Oh wait, all right, since let's do like two minutes

204
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: on tech. We're both ter blonde tech, so let's do it.

205
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Does Elon end up keeping acts or Twitter?

206
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 4: Or do you think it ends up?

207
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: Look? I think he's going to continue to It's going

208
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: to continue to spiral down on ad rev. It's it's

209
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: I don't know why, call me crazy, but big brands

210
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 3: don't want to be on the same Twitter page as

211
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: as four eighty eight, you know, or whatever this neo

212
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: Nazi of the day. Look, the guy's retweeting like actual

213
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: neo Nazis. Come on, your brand is being poisoned. Linda Yakarino,

214
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: that's her last job in the world as CEO of

215
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: Twitter because.

216
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: She could not well deserve, right, you could.

217
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: She could not get hired as a secretariat a roofing

218
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: firm in Palatka, Florida after this. I mean, it's just bad.

219
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: But look he's going to grind it out. As long

220
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: as he can keep Tesla afloat, he'll still have cash

221
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: flow for the rest of his life. And sustaining Twitter

222
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: is different than buying it, right, And so he's gonna

223
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 3: keep it because it's his vanity project now and it's

224
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 3: his way to finally feel like the girls like him.

225
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, it's true. We've gone way over, haven't way No,

226
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: we haven't.

227
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 7: Okay, never mind, Why hasn't Kamala Harris put out a

228
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 7: platform on her website?

229
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: Who cares? Yeah, honestly, who gives a shit? Yeah you

230
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: heard it on the speech. Let me tell you why

231
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: she doesn't do a platform Because when I was a

232
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: Republican and the Democrats put out a plan for climate

233
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 3: or healthcare, guns or any other thing, they'd always be

234
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 3: like seven hundred pages long. You know what I would do.

235
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: I'd get ten in turns. I'd lock him in a room,

236
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: feed him fucking Domino's pizza, and say find me twenty

237
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: seven things that scare grandma.

238
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

239
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: So when the Green New Deal bill was running around,

240
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: what do they do? You can't have hamburgers or fly

241
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: on airplanes, you have to eat insectlaws. They always find

242
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: something scary to be weaponized forget about it. Yeah, Barack

243
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: Obama didn't have a policy section on his website. He

244
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: had three things. Hope change, Yes, we can, that's it.

245
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,119
Speaker 3: Don't play that game, don't fall into the trap. Policy

246
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: is death in presidential campaigns.

247
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 4: All right, I'll take it. It's a bumper sticker.

248
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Okay, I'm gonna break up the questions everybody

249
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 7: was asking because we got a great one from Jennifer lindsay,

250
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 7: how do you guys think Steve Bannon's doing?

251
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: This?

252
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: Is like just a question for reck.

253
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 3: Rerick.

254
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: Where is Steve Bannon right now?

255
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: Steve Bannon isn't in made in the Danbury Federal Correctional

256
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: Facility in Danbury, Connecticut and recently received a copy of

257
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: my book Everything Frump, such as dies.

258
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: Are you really?

259
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: I sent it to him. I did that to Paul

260
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: Mannifert when he was in prison, too, and it amused

261
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: me so much I had to do it again. I

262
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: also encourage my followers on Twitter to send Steve Bannon

263
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: as much Japanese tentacle porn as they could find, because

264
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: what could go wrong? Now Steve will be out of

265
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: prison in a for the election in about four weeks,

266
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: five weeks, but he's immediately going on trial for his

267
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: Build the Wall fraud. There's another guy that depends on

268
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: Donald Trump to save his ass. And and look, I'll

269
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: say this about Steve Bannon. That is a second rate

270
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: intellect with a first rate a degree of malice, And

271
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: the malice is made up for a lot of the

272
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: lack of intellect. He is a guy who really believes

273
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: fervently he is an outright nationalist populist. He believes that

274
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 3: America is a blood and soil country of white Christians

275
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: and not a not a propositional nation that from the beginning,

276
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: as flawed as our beginning was, was designed to allow

277
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: people to become Americans, no matter where they were born,

278
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: of what God they worshiped. So Bannon can fuck right off.

279
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: And I hope he enjoys another prison term after this

280
00:13:59,559 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: prison term.

281
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 4: So tell us what you really think.

282
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: Well, I think he's gonna come out of jail like

283
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 3: that scene in Zulander two with he's ripped his hell,

284
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 3: got a big Nazi swastika tattoo with an eagle on

285
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: it on his chest right between his moves. All right, Jesse,

286
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: that was light prison segment. I enjoyed it personally.

287
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 7: I often think about Steve Banned suffering for many years

288
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 7: because I've had to suffer by listening to his fucking

289
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 7: podcast to clip things.

290
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: Okay, can I ask you a technical question? Yeah, I

291
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: record five podcasts a week. I'm exhausted by that shit.

292
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: How does Steve Bannon, aside from methanhetamine, get on that

293
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: goddamn podcast and talk for like seventeen hours a day? Yeah?

294
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 7: I think we all know this that you once called

295
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 7: him a thing that stuck with me, the human skin tag. Yes,

296
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 7: the podcasting feeds the skin tags.

297
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: He was like a bag of suet Rancid sue. Okay,

298
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: well I think he's right.

299
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: You're done.

300
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 7: Okay, So a conversation Molly and I had. How many

301
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 7: of you watched the Tim Walls talking to Kamala YouTube video?

302
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

303
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 7: I thought it was one of the most genius videos

304
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 7: I've ever seen. But she is clearly not doing as

305
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 7: many mainstream interviews as many people would like.

306
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: What do you two think of this?

307
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: I think they could fuck right off. I honestly, Chris Solizza, who.

308
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: Is on this, Lena, you're doing that later? You're doing

309
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: that later?

310
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 6: I want to remember I.

311
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: Said that campaigns were an unknown geography. I believe they

312
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: should proceed to the valley where all my fucks have died,

313
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: lay down on the ground, and let nature take its course,

314
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: and the buzzard should pick their their skin. The interviews

315
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: are a trap, right, don't play their game, play game, yeah,

316
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: and go out do big rallies.

317
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: And you know it is actually in a lot of

318
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: cases it's good to give interviews.

319
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 4: I have to say this because I know you did

320
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: where my bread is buttered.

321
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: But in this case, with American democracy on the line

322
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: and seventy days to go and the mainstream media really

323
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: treating the two as the same, I think she should

324
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: just tell them to book run off.

325
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's no upside.

326
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: There's no upside for her, and all upside for that.

327
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: And by the way, again to look back on the

328
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: policy question for a second, if she had a policy

329
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: document for every big subject and then she did an interview,

330
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: they would say, well, on page seventy four of your

331
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: climate plan, you say that it's three hundred and twenty

332
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: five point two parts per billion of carbon, and your

333
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: plans since it's three hundred and forty and I think,

334
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: I mean, they will play that game right point where

335
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: it just becomes this exhausting Washington circle jerk media game.

336
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's worth pointing out that Donald Trump

337
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: does have a policy plan. It's called Project twenty twenty five.

338
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: It mentions his name three hundred plus times.

339
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: It's written by many.

340
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: People who've worked for him, and he's like, I have

341
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: nothing to do with it one hundred and.

342
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: Forty four authors, ninety three or former Trump administrational campaign officials. Yeah,

343
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: so he has nothing to do with Project.

344
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: Oh no, absolutely nothing.

345
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 7: It's almost like, if you want to learn more or

346
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 7: show somebody more about Project twenty twenty five, you could

347
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 7: go onto YouTube and.

348
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: Write Molly Jong Fast.

349
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 7: Project twenty twenty five documentary is an excellency excellent.

350
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: Series, mostly with a lot of heavy lifting from Jassing.

351
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

352
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 7: Thanks, Okay, another media question. All of us know Trump

353
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 7: is not mentally well. He's George is doing lots of

354
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 7: things about his psychiatric.

355
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 4: Right, the psychopath.

356
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: Yes, you can't call it well being. It's bad to being.

357
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 7: Why do you think the mainstream media can't say those

358
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 7: words the same way they can't say many things?

359
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 3: And is there any way to get them to do

360
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 3: it clicks and eyeballs. Trump is great for business, right,

361
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 3: He's great for business. Yeah, And if you made him crazy,

362
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: if you said he is mentally ill, if you spoke

363
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: the truth and said Donald Trump has a suite of

364
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: mental illnesses that are going to eventually involve thousands of

365
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: psychiatrists writing new volumes of the DSM, it would disqualify

366
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: the ability of the press to treat them as equals.

367
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: They want you to think this is a standard Republican

368
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 3: and a standard Democrat, and they want you to think

369
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: that's the frame. And if you really admitted that Trump

370
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: was that crazy, you can't hold that frame anymore.

371
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: I also think that mainstream media is terrified of being

372
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: called partisans working the refs, right.

373
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: So they say, well, you know.

374
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: And I think also the the cravenness and the craziness

375
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: of Trump has really caught a lot of the mainstream

376
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: media flat footed, like they just didn't know how to

377
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: write those kind of stories without feeling that they were

378
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: outing themselves as liberal.

379
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 3: There's like a lot of yeah, Wow, there's like a.

380
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 4: Lot it's yeah, it's ridiculous. I agree, there's a lot.

381
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 3: Of Stockholm syndrome with these reporters too, and they're trapped

382
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 3: in this they're trapped in this thing. I mean, if

383
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: you want Trump to call you on your cell phone

384
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: and then journalism and if you want him to give you,

385
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: you know, the inside story. Because by the way, half

386
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: the leaks in the Trump administration are from Donald Trump, right,

387
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 3: literally half of them. Yeah, John John Barty.

388
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: Right, and Kelly Ann that's right.

389
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

390
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: By the way, Kelly Ann really hates me.

391
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 3: She really hates me too.

392
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh oh wow, that's allow.

393
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: I have spent entire seconds worrying about that.

394
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, not me.

395
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, the feeling is robust, yes, yes, Okay, North Carolina, Florida, Rick,

396
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 8: you know the South.

397
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 3: What do you see there? What do you think could

398
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: happen in this election there? I think Georgia too. Yeah,

399
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: that's good point.

400
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 4: North Carolina, Georgia should be the question.

401
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. North Carolina and Georgia are on our list now

402
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 3: they weren't before she's opened those up. And I'll tell

403
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: you three three big things to watch for in Georgia.

404
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: When Reverend Warnock was on the ballot, we saw African

405
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: American voter turn out increase dramatically. We're about to see

406
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: the same thing in Georgia, our models showing it already

407
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: starting to pop. The other thing we've noticed in Georgia,

408
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: and we went out identified a group that the Democrats

409
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: have very much taken for granted, and rightly so, because

410
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 3: they voted with them one hundred percent of the time.

411
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: Basically that exists in the Atlanta metro area at scale,

412
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: as in few other places. There's a very very large

413
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: cohort of professional African American women in the Atlanta metro area. Okay.

414
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: It's called the Doughnut of counties around Atlanta, Okay. And

415
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: in the Doughnut, in four of those counties, three of them,

416
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: particularly Fulton, Chatham and cab you have enormous numbers of

417
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: professional African American women. They are fired up for Connell

418
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: Harris for a good reason. They also are are part

419
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: of the HBCU Divine nine sorority culture, which Trump of

420
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: course called very unimportant. Good play. Donald might want to

421
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 3: roll David Duke out again if you're gonna keep up

422
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 3: that one, Donald, But so Georgia is going to be

423
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: a place where we think is now a state that

424
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 3: is in the winnable category. A lot of work can

425
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: be done, a very hard slog ahead, but sixty five

426
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: percent of the vote in Georgia comes out of the donut.

427
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 3: The red parts of Georgia are like the northeast Frontier

428
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: province of Pakistan. They're so conservative. The Donut is a

429
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 3: purple area of the state, and there's also a purple

430
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: area of the state in Savannah. And in Savannah that's

431
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: where a lot of our Lincoln Project Republican voters live.

432
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 3: More affluent, more educated, much more moderate. So we think

433
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: George is moving into the winnable category. North Carolina, the Robinson,

434
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: the governor's candidate the Republican Party, I call him rabid

435
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: Tim Scott. He is not good is he is completely bonkers.

436
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 4: And he's running about ten points He's.

437
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: Running about ten points behind. We rarely see the down

438
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: ballot candidate kill the presidential candidate, but we may see

439
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 3: that in North Carolina. Also, nor the.

440
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: Legacy of trump Ism. Now, you know, you pick these

441
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: terrible candidates and it.

442
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: Just are Yeah, they're always going to pick the trash

443
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 3: because Trump likes the trash, and so you're gonna end up.

444
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 3: I think North Carolina is very much in play. My

445
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 3: home state of Florida. It is a much closer race

446
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: than it was expected to be. It is now about

447
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: a three point race in Florida. Don't get your hopes

448
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: up yet. But the positive part about Florida being close

449
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: and by the way, she's tied in Palm Beach and

450
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: fifteen points ahead and two surveys, one private, one public

451
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: in Miami Day now Miami Dade, Miami Miami Dade, Broward

452
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: and Palm Beach. When you add those three counties up,

453
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: it's fifty four percent of the likely voter turnout in Florida.

454
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 3: Does that mean you're gonna win? No, because the rest

455
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: of Florida again northwesterront Here, province of Pakistan, crazy red.

456
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: But Florida is in play in one big place in

457
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: the country and that's in Trump's brain. They are starting

458
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: to spend money in Florida, which is like building a

459
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: bonfire on top of a volcano. You were gonna burn

460
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: through money like nobody's business. And that's what he's doing now.

461
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: And if he's spending money.

462
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: This does it makes him feel better?

463
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 3: He wants to. He wants he wants the guys in

464
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: the golf club at Durrow and at mar A Lago

465
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: to watch his ads on TV. I'm not kidding you

466
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 3: by one of the greatest tricks I've ever pulled. I

467
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: run a lot of my ads wherever he is at

468
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 3: his clubs on the golf channel, because those some bitches

469
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: in the golf club at the end of their round,

470
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: they're watching it. They see an AD and they're all.

471
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,600

Speaker 2: really going on right now. Buy your tickets now by

498
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: heading to Politics as Unusual dot bio. That's Politics as

499
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: Unusual dot bio. Senator Kristin Jilibran is the junior Senator

500
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 2: from New York.

501
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fast Politics. Senator Jilli Brown, how are you.

502
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 3: I'm good.

503
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 4: Tell us your plan for the Equal Rights Amendment.

504
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 5: So most people don't realize this, but almost all the

505
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: work is done to have the twenty eighth Amendment be

506
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 5: the Equal Rights Amendment.

507
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 4: It got two.

508
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: Thirds House and Senate votes in the nineteen seventies. You

509
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 5: don't have to do it again. Check The second thing

510
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: Article five of the Constitution requires for an amendment is

511
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 5: three quarters of the states have to ratify. The thirty

512
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 5: eighth state that ratified it was Virginia in twenty twenty.

513
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 5: So you ask, why isn't it the twentieth Amendment. Well,

514
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 5: unfortunately Trump was president and he told his lawyers to lie,

515
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 5: and they decided that it was invalid because it took

516
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: too long. That is not sound legal argument. In fact,

517
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 5: all the Purple and Blue agees have already filed briefs

518
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 5: that say, once you do the two thirds of House

519
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 5: and Senate and three quarters of states ratifying, it becomes

520
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 5: an amendment. It just needs to be signed and published

521
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 5: by the archivist. So I sat down with the archivist.

522
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 5: I said, will you sign and publish the er. She's like, well,

523
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 5: don't I need a new legal memo from new lawyers.

524
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 5: I was like, nope, you don't work for the lawyers

525
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 5: and those are just advisory. She said, well, don't I

526
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 5: need a nod from President Biden? And I said, nope,

527
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 5: you don't work for him either. You're just supposed to

528
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 5: sign and publish. I believe, however, if we can get

529
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: a nod from President Biden, that she will be likely

530
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 5: to sign and publish it. So I'm working very hard

531
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 5: to pitch this to President Biden, to educate his lawyers

532
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 5: and educate his team, and if we can convince them

533
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 5: that this is the right thing to do, I think

534
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: she'll sign and publish it and we will have a

535
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 5: twenty th amendment. Now why does that matter. It matters

536
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 5: because if we had an equal rights amendment, Dobbs would

537
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 5: be invalid. Explain to us, job says, women of reproductive

538
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 5: years do not have a right to privacy, and therefore

539
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 5: they don't have a right to reproductive care. If states

540
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 5: say it's illegal, men have a right to privacy, and

541
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 5: men have a right to reproductive care all across this country.

542
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 5: And if you don't allow women to have it, but

543
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 5: you do allow men to have it, that is unequal treatment.

544
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 5: And so an equal rights amendment would deem Dobbs invalid.

545
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: So interesting and such a great idea.

546
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 5: So so we're just working it.

547
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 4: We're working to President Biden.

548
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 5: We're working it. We're trying to So I saw President,

549
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 5: I saw, I have talked to Anita. I gave her

550
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 5: all my briefs.

551
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to find Anita and and be like, you

552
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: got to publish.

553
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: The r Yes.

554
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 5: So I saw President Biden at Stonewall. We did a

555
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 5: big thing about the Stonewall in monument Yes, And I

556
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 5: pitched him in the photo line. I had a full

557
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 5: thirty seconds and he loved this argument, and he said,

558
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 5: so you want me to make a big deal about this.

559
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 5: I was like, yes, I want you to call on

560
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 5: the archives published. And he loved it. So if I

561
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 5: can convince his team, maybe.

562
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 4: You know, this is how it gets done.

563
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 5: I think so, because if the archive is signs and published,

564
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 5: it automatically becomes a twenty eighth amendment. I bet people

565
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 5: will sue. It'll go up to the Supreme Court. Maybe

566
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 5: within six months, maybe within a year, who knows. But

567
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 5: the truth is that the law supports signing and publishing.

568
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 5: There's no requirement that these amendments need to be done quickly.

569
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: So in fact, Article five doesn't even give Congress the

570
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 5: ability to set a deadline. And the twenty seven Amendment

571
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 5: took two hundred and three years to sign and publish,

572
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 5: so Trump's lawyer's argument that it took two is invalid.

573
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: It is invalid.

574
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: It's funny because it's like, my mom is this feminist author,

575
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: Erka Jong, and she worked really hard on this. This

576
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: was like one of the things that in the seventies

577
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: was one of the great promises.

578
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 5: Well, it took them time to get state by state.

579
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 5: It takes a while to get thirty eight states, and

580
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 5: we didn't get it done right away. Congress wanted it

581
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 5: done in seven years, but Congress didn't have the authority

582
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 5: to put that deadline on. At number one and number two,

583
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 5: the twenty seven Amendment took two hundred and three years,

584
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 5: So it's not unusual for these amendments to take longer

585
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 5: than you think.

586
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: One of the things that's happening at this convention is

587
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: there's a feeling that women are finally at the table.

588
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 5: I think that's right, and I think that the speakers

589
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 5: that Kamala has chosen to be part of this convention

590
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 5: a lot of women, a lot of young women, a

591
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: lot of people of color. It's a very diverse and

592
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: exciting and invigorating and energizing convention, a lot of young speakers.

593
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I liked AOC for my own state. She

594
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 5: did a great job. Or speech was fabulous, and then

595
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: Jasmine Crockett was excellent. I loved Angela also Brooks, she

596
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 5: did a great job. I thought Lisa Blunt Rochester was electrifying.

597
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 5: I've been really happy with the people that she's lifted

598
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 5: up to give them speaking roles and a lot of

599
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 5: new voices, which I really appreciate.

600
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: So one of the things things that the Senate that

601
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: is sort of upsetting to me about the Senate is

602
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: there has only ever been I think we have the

603
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: three black women senators. This is now Senator Butler is

604
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: the third, correct, okay, and so we Senator Harris was

605
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: the second.

606
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 5: And Illinois Senator Braun.

607
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: Was Carol Moseley Brown was the first. So we've only

608
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: had three, right, which is insane.

609
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 5: We get two more.

610
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: We could get two.

611
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: More with Angela Austin Brooks and so that in a

612
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: way seems like a big deal.

613
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: And I think it is a big deal.

614
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I mean this news set of class

615
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 5: is gonna be great. We also have Andy Kim coming

616
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 5: in from New Jersey Kim, so we're getting a lot more.

617
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 4: We had Andy Kim right after he announced.

618
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 5: I was proud of him for announcing when he did,

619
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 5: and he had a lot of guts to do that,

620
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 5: and that's being rewarded.

621
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: And he had to really run against them New Jersey Machine.

622
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but things can happen. It's amazing when things start

623
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 5: to change.

624
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: It's funny because it's like Republicans are so mad about Harris.

625
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: They just don't know how to be blast but they're left.

626
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: They're mad and chaotic and confused and unable, like they

627
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 5: don't know what to say and how to say it.

628
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 5: It's quite shocking, actually, But if you just remember Trump

629
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 5: was so vitriolic against women and women of color during

630
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 5: his presidency. I think all the nasty tweets he sent

631
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: about women and how vicious he was, particularly towards women

632
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 5: of color. I just think he can't handle it. Yeah,

633
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 5: I just think he can't handle it. Like I think

634
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 5: it's like exploding his brain. So, who's the best candidate

635
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 5: to run against Trump? Kamala Harris. It's like, because by nature,

636
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 5: she's exploding his head.

637
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: I can't imagine a candidate raising millions of dollars the energy.

638
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 5: She's creators instantaneously.

639
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: It seems to me that a lot of why she

640
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: was so undermined was because she's a black woman. How

641
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: can we as white women elevate Black women? How can

642
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: we be.

643
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: Like allies in the way that we need to be?

644
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: Well?

645
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 5: I think in this moment in time, we should leave

646
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 5: it all on the field for Kamala.

647
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 4: I mean, we can.

648
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 5: Show our allieship by our actions, our words, our deeds,

649
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: our blood, our sweat, our tears between now and election day,

650
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 5: like we can show the American people that we want

651
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 5: a woman president and we want Kamala Harris to be

652
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: that first woman president. We can through our actions, show

653
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 5: that we believe in her leadership, that we believe in

654
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 5: her ability, and that we are going to do everything

655
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 5: we can to make sure when we know in love

656
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 5: is registered to vote, is voting, and that nobody gets

657
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 5: to stay home, nobody gets to sit on their hands,

658
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 5: nobody gets to do nothing. I mean, like Michelle Obama said,

659
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 5: just do something.

660
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 4: Just do something.

661
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 5: And what I loved about Michelle's speech was that she

662
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 5: told Kamala's story in the most powerful, loving, supportive way

663
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 5: possible and coming from her perspective, it was beautiful, yeah,

664
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 5: and empowering. I thought it was remarkable.

665
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: So much of the political writing about this era right

666
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: now has been people saying that the Bidens and the

667
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: Obamas don't like each other, and that this one and

668
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: then that one don't like each other. And Biden was

669
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: and you know, during Biden's speech, he's sad. He actually said,

670
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: this was my decision. No one made this decision.

671
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 5: So you know what's so great about that?

672
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 4: Yeah? So great.

673
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 5: So Barack Obama trusts the vice presidency to Joe Biden. Yeah,

674
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 5: Joe Biden trusts the vice presidency to Kamala Harris. But

675
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 5: when given the choice of who should be the next president,

676
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 5: Biden was all in for Kamala And that one action

677
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 5: alone made a huge difference, because when the President of the

678
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 5: United States says, I believe Kamala Harris is the best

679
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 5: candidate and should be the next president, it closed the

680
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 5: door on the five or six, seven or eight candidates

681
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 5: that were waiting in the wings to jump in to

682
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 5: create some mini primary. And it was instantaneous. Every single

683
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 5: one of them endorsed her within forty eight, which created unity.

684
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 5: And the unity has created momentum, and the momentum has

685
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 5: created excitement, and this excitement has created electricity, and electricity

686
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 5: is creating a will to win that I've never seen before.

687
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 5: I've never seen this level of all in by everyone

688
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 5: so early, so aggressively, so happily. Yeah, I mean all

689
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 5: I see is happy warriors everywhere I go, and I

690
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 5: think it matters. And the other speech that really hit

691
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 5: me was Hillary's for Hillary again, like this is a

692
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 5: passing of the torch. Joe Biden passed the torch to Kamala.

693
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton passed the torch to Kamala. And for the

694
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 5: woman who we expected to be the first woman president

695
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 5: to say, the first woman president will not be me,

696
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 5: it will be her, will be Kamala Harris showed so

697
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: much grace, so much kindness, so much wisdom. I was

698
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 5: so proud of her because it takes courage. It takes

699
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 5: courage for anyone to walk away from power and also

700
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 5: to walk away from a dream. But we saw both

701
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 5: Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton do that in this convention,

702
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 5: and I was in tears. I was so grateful for

703
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 5: Hillary's grace and courage in that moment was I thought

704
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 5: it was beautiful.

705
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 4: Thank you, Senator Jilli Brown, Thank you.

706
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: Are you concerned about Project twenty twenty five and how

707
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: awful Trump's second term could be?

708
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 4: Well, so are we?

709
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,120

00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 4: What is going on? How is being attorney general?

727
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 3: Well?

728
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 10: I hear there's a Democratic convention going on as a

729
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 10: rumor around here anyway, but it.

730
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: Feels like it's like this convention is like the low

731
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: key theme as Minnesota.

732
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 10: Well, Minnesota is a awesome place. Minnesota is a very fun

733
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 10: place to live. Minnesota. We value education, we value people.

734
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 10: Minnesota is the home of Hubert H.

735
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 3: Humphrey.

736
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 10: He passed one of the first human rights ordinances in America.

737
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: Hubert H.

738
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 10: Humphrey in nineteen forty eight said that we have to

739
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 10: walk out of the dark night of states rights into

740
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 10: the bright sunshine of human rights.

741
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 4: And then you know, to do that again, I think again.

742
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 10: And then Minnesota is a good place. And this is

743
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 10: my adopt at home. I was born in Detroit, Michigan.

744
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 10: Love Detroit too, but I like staying in Minnesota. My kids,

745
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 10: all four of my kids are born there, met my

746
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 10: wife there. You know, it's a good place. I recommend it,

747
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 10: but it's not a perfect place. And we got problems

748
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 10: we got to solve.

749
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: You guys have passed like a lot of really interesting

750
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: progressive legislation. Sure did stuff that I don't know how

751
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: progressive it is in my mind, but I mean I

752
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: think it's normal human rights stuff like feeding hungry children

753
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: paid leave.

754
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 4: Sure, but I'm curious, does that have an effect on

755
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 4: the crime well in your state?

756
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 10: I would say, no, Minnesota is relatively safe place. I

757
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 10: mean it certainly there's enough crime to keep US prosecutors

758
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 10: in business. But you know, if you compare red states

759
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 10: and blue states, they're way more dangerous than us, right,

760
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 10: and so I'd say.

761
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: But look, if you ask some of the downstream effects

762
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: of this progressive legislation in your state.

763
00:38:59,239 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 9: Good questions.

764
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 10: So I believe that if you have kids who can

765
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 10: go get a meal at school, even if they're poor

766
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 10: kids or extremely working class and hard pressed, then sometimes

767
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 10: those kids the only place you're going to get a

768
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 10: good meal is in school. And so that means they're

769
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 10: going to come to school, and that's going to lower

770
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 10: a school absenteeism. It'll raise a chance to learn some stuff,

771
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 10: maybe join a team, maybe join the band, getting to

772
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 10: a play, find your passion, and that helps.

773
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 9: You stay out of trouble. Right there.

774
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: We do know.

775
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 9: Look, we have more absenteeism than we want.

776
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 10: We have not bounced back from the pandemic numbers, but

777
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 10: because of the universal school meals, we have some good

778
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 10: numbers and we have reason to be hopeful. I mean,

779
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 10: you know, so that's just one thing, you know what

780
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 10: I mean, There's so many others. Child tax credit that

781
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 10: we passed.

782
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: You have a child tax credit that's a state talk, yes,

783
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: So explain to us how that works. Because the federal

784
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: child tax state income text despite how much Jade Evans

785
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: pretends he loves it. Actually expired because the Senate could

786
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: not get the vote.

787
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 9: So you got to he vote on that.

788
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 4: He didn't vote. He didn't go to the vote.

789
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 10: Oh well, so you know what they used to call that.

790
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 10: They used to call that taking a Mississippi walk. Yeah,

791
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 10: that means there's legislation you don't want to vote on,

792
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 10: so you're conveniently not on the floor to vote, which

793
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 10: is your job to vote.

794
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 9: I used to be in Congress for twelve years.

795
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 10: The only job you have is to vote, show your

796
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 10: backside up and vote.

797
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

798
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 10: And if you can't do that, you're not meeting the

799
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 10: minimum requirements of the of the job, right, and so

800
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 10: that's him for you. So you know, so you have stated,

801
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 10: you know, Minnesota does have state income tax, but because

802
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 10: of the Child Tax Credit, you know, that helps families

803
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 10: that are trying to take care of their families and

804
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 10: their kids and then improves child family income and reduces

805
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 10: child poverty.

806
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 9: So it's very important.

807
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: And one of the ideas in Project twenty twenty five

808
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: is to dismantle and ultimately end.

809
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 4: The Department of Education.

810
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: Right what you started by Jimmy Carter, Right, Department of

811
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 1: Education does pelgrants, sure, some other things that provide money

812
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: for college for the people who are in the sort

813
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: of poorest group.

814
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 4: Of American Absolutely true.

815
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: Would you talk about what it would mean to dismantle

816
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: the Department of Education?

817
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 10: Well, I can talk about pragmatically what it would mean,

818
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 10: but let me first just mention what it would mean symbolically. Yeah,

819
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 10: it would mean that we are shutting down the institution

820
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 10: which provides knowledge to people. We say knowledge is power. Well,

821
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 10: if you don't have any education department, then there's still power,

822
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 10: but it's shifted from one place to another, right, it's

823
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 10: you know, and look, it's real hard to control people

824
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 10: when they know what's going on, and it's real hard

825
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 10: to make people hate others when they know something about

826
00:41:58,960 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 10: those people.

827
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 9: But if I don't know nothing about.

828
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 10: You, it's easy for me to believe that, oh, you

829
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 10: have poverty in your community because you're just lazy and

830
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 10: don't want to work. If I don't know nothing about you,

831
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 10: I can jump to all kinds of ignorant conclusions.

832
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 9: It's about who you are and what you represent. So

833
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 9: I'll just say that.

834
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 10: But you know, look, the Department of Education is doing

835
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 10: important things regarding Title I, which is making sure that

836
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 10: low income kids, kids with disabilities get a fair shot educationally.

837
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 10: Aprotment of educations are very important and making sure that

838
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 10: we have equal it's a national it's an institution with

839
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 10: national purview.

840
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 9: So if you just completely.

841
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 10: Localize education, you know, the product that a kid might

842
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 10: get in Lowndes County, Alabama versus what some kids going

843
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 10: to get in Hinnipey County of Minnesota.

844
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 9: Is just extremely different.

845
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 10: And why in the world would you want to, you know,

846
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 10: create an environment of inequality unless your.

847
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 9: Goal was in equality.

848
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 10: So you know, look, these people, I tell you, Molly,

849
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 10: if I just be straight up with it, I think

850
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 10: they want to return Jim Crow.

851
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's what they want to do.

852
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: They're not haven't yet said that, but it seems likely

853
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: that at some point someone's going to admit it.

854
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're you're all mad about DEI, right, keeps you

855
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 10: up at night for some reason. Yeah, I mean, even

856
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 10: though we really haven't created equal opportunity in America, you're

857
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 10: mad at the few opportunities that have been created. So

858
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 10: you know, and by the way, we're not mad about

859
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 10: legacy inherited wealth. You can go to Harvard. If mom

860
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 10: and dad or grandpa went there, and if they build

861
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 10: a wingy, you know, you can go there.

862
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 9: You can be dumb as a.

863
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: Post, yeah, really dumb and have bad grades.

864
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 4: You do have to give like five million dollars.

865
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, as long as you got the five million, Yeah,

866
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 10: you can come there. But if you're a smart kid

867
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 10: and you don't and you're just trying to get there

868
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 10: on merit.

869
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 4: No, forget not so much.

870
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: But then, but the other thing is that, I mean,

871
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: the one really good thing about this country is that

872
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: we have a lot of really good colleges. We do,

873
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: and we have a really good community college system. They

874
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: do that throws people to better colleges.

875
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 9: I sure, I sure believe that is true.

876
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 10: And you know, my two older brothers both went to

877
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 10: community college and one of them is a physician today. Yeah,

878
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 10: and the other one is a not he's a he's

879
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 10: a lawyer and a preacher.

880
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 10: So you know, give me a shout out to me,

884
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: You have this incredible vice president who is your governor

885
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: and now is running for visas.

886
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 9: I thought you're talking about the other one.

887
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 4: I want to talk.

888
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: About you, the guy from your state, the guy he's

889
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: a little less famous.

890
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, and so you know what, And I'm glad you

891
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 10: want to talk about him because the Republicans are doing

892
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 10: They're in a mad rush to try to define him

893
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 10: in a negative way.

894
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 4: By the way, they were not able to define her.

895
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: Now.

896
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I tell you so many times people said

897
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: to me, it's the next three days are going to

898
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: define everything. They are trying to define her. They wanted

899
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: to find her. They weren't able to to define her.

900
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, well so she's smarter than that, both of them

901
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 9: put together.

902
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 3: Five times.

903
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

904
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: And I want to define him because I think because

905
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: he looks like a Midwestern dad, and Republicans want those vhotos.

906
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 3: You know, I have a whole thought about that.

907
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 10: I don't know if we might take more than two minutes,

908
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 10: but so and the Republicans have been talking a lot

909
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 10: about masculinity. Democrats we don't talk that much about it

910
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 10: because it's.

911
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 9: Like stupid, I'm a boy or a girl whatever.

912
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, but to them, like you know, you got Josh

913
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 10: Hawley and jd. Vance all this stuff, and they're also

914
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 10: trying to define feminininity too. And Tim Walls is a

915
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 10: crack shot, wins the shooting competition, yet he says what's

916
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 10: more important is protecting people from gun violence. Tim Walls

917
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 10: football coach, the most macho, he man sport we got.

918
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 10: He's actually damn good at it and knows how to

919
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 10: inspire young men to win. And not only that, these

920
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 10: men in their thirties and forties were in their ball

921
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 10: jerseys on stage and I don't know, see, I don't know,

922
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 10: so like maybe my wife doesn't even know this about me.

923
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 10: But the most electric joyful time in my life was

924
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 10: when I was sixteen years old running across the football

925
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 10: field into the end zone. I am sixty one and

926
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 10: I remember that. And anybody who's ever played high school

927
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 10: for I don't care if you played college football and

928
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 10: pro football, you remember being playing for free with your

929
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 10: friends in your neighborhood. And that is like a you know,

930
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 10: I don't know, Well, girls don't play football, so that's

931
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 10: not a memory they have. They might remember being at

932
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 10: the game, but that is a very male thing, you know,

933
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 10: And he is able to he's the man on that

934
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 10: and neither one of them are what did Trump ever do?

935
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 10: Trump is a bone spur get to avoid Vietnam. He

936
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 10: might have been a good athlete. Nobody's ever heard about that.

937
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 3: JD.

938
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 9: Vance, You know, I don't know.

939
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 10: I mean, he was a marine, but we know he

940
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 10: sat in the desk and wrote articles stuff.

941
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that, yeah, but you know.

942
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 10: But but I guess it's kind of hard to describe

943
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 10: in a way. But Tim Walls checks all these masculine

944
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 10: boxes and still his concept of masculinity is to protect, support.

945
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 10: Their concept of masculinity is to dominate. So in their mind,

946
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 10: masculinity means you have you're a billionaire, and you boss

947
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 10: everybody around and do whatever you want and touch women

948
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 10: who do.

949
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 4: Big scary trucks.

950
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 3: Right.

951
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 10: So his idea is to go on a ride with

952
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 10: his daughter at the fair. His idea is to support

953
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 10: his his son. His idea is to support his football

954
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 10: players even into adulthood, and to be able to have

955
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 10: the admiration of his fellow soldiers and their idea. And

956
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 10: they think the soldiers are suckers and and and they

957
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 10: only and they only support people who don't get captured.

958
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 10: And I mean, we got to explore the differing concept

959
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 10: of manhood that are on display right here.

960
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 9: We don't talk about it. On the dim side.

961
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 10: We should, but we're kind of leaving that discussion because

962
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 10: there are a lot of men who are kind of

963
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 10: like wondering what's going on cause, you know, forty years ago,

964
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 10: being male, if you could pick up something and she

965
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 10: can't pick it up, then you're the head of the

966
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 10: family and she's not.

967
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 9: Right today, your wife probably does.

968
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 10: Make more money than you because she probably smarter than you,

969
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 10: because you know, I mean, you know, and that's making

970
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 10: and that's making a lot of guys like, where do

971
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 10: I fit in here? I mean you you look at

972
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 10: your average law school graduation class. De valedictorian is probably

973
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 10: a female and most of the class is probably female.

974
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 4: College or college.

975
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, and so a lot of guys are like, where

976
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 9: do I fit in here?

977
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 10: And Trump is exploiting that malaise, that that anxiety, and

978
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 10: so Tim Wallas is kryptonite to them.

979
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 2: Yes, Ron Widen is the senior senator from Oregon.

980
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to back politics, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden.

981
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 4: What a treat are you getting me?

982
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: A treat is mine. It is my treat to have

983
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: you on my podcast. You did a lot of interesting

984
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: stuff with taxes this year.

985
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 4: Talk to me.

986
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 11: So the differences could not be greater between the wonderful

987
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 11: woman that we've nominated to be President of the United States.

988
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 4: And Donald Trump.

989
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, Donald Trump is basically trying to claber

990
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 11: the working class and that's with all these tariffs yeh,

991
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 11: which are really taxes. So yeah, if a worker in

992
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 11: Coos Bay, Oregon, or anywhere else you know, is buying

993
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 11: a car or paying for food or clothing, they basically

994
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 11: get clabbered so that the people in the one tenth

995
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 11: of one to one hundredth up at the top are

996
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 11: going to get more tax breaks. And what we're trying

997
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 11: to do is make sure that everybody understand what's on

998
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 11: offer and is basically clabbering working class people in order

999
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 11: to give gifts and people at the top.

1000
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: So, but you have also done some really interesting legislation

1001
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: with AI tech and taxes, right, so explain to us

1002
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: some of that also. But before you do that, I

1003
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,959
Speaker 1: want you to talk about how the Trump tax cut

1004
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: is going to expire, and some of what is happening

1005
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: behind the scenes is actually about taxes and for a

1006
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: lot of rich people. This election is actually about taxes.

1007
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 6: There's no question about it. That's the big pocketbook, you

1008
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 6: know issue.

1009
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 11: People say, well, you know he did good things in

1010
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 11: this term or that term. That's not what this is about.

1011
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 11: This is about the fact. And he said it. He

1012
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 11: has fundraisers and the like with the oil companies and

1013
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 11: the like. Here's what I'm gonna.

1014
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 3: Do for you.

1015
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1016
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 11: I think what we're doing now is pushing back in

1017
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 11: a way that shows where our values are. For example,

1018
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 11: vice President's been talking about food prices. Right, I'm going

1019
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 11: to be getting on a plane flying home. We are

1020
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 11: molly looking at the biggest food and grocery merger in

1021
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 11: the history of the United States, right, And that's Kroger

1022
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 11: and Albertson's. And the fact is the market is so

1023
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 11: consolidated that in many areas there's not much competition. So

1024
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 11: you pay four dollars for a gallon of milk or

1025
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 11: ten dollars for a pound of beef. And I said,

1026
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 11: when the far right said the Vice president's talking about

1027
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 11: price control, they said, hold on, We democrats are for markets.

1028
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: But when the.

1029
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 11: Market is working, we're going to make sure there's some

1030
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 11: guardrails to protect the consumers.

1031
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 6: So that's what we're talking about.

1032
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 4: To anti trust. You got a competition.

1033
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: One of the things that the Biden administration has done

1034
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: that's made them very unpopular with wealthy people is more.

1035
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 4: Anti trust regulation. Can you talk about that?

1036
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 3: Sure?

1037
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 11: I mean, in sector after sector, we're losing choices, for

1038
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 11: example in Oregon, and I hope this is something that

1039
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 11: you'll see the executive branch, you know, take on. We're

1040
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 11: seeing tremendous consolidation and pharmacies. You know, the grocery merger

1041
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 11: also is a pharmacy merger, and the big pharmacies are

1042
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 11: basically you know, coming together and reducing choices. That meshes

1043
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 11: with the PBMs. These pharmaceutical benefit managers get this, We're

1044
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 11: going to spend more than four trillion dollars on healthcare

1045
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 11: this year. They're like three hundred and thirty million of US.

1046
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 11: You divide three hundred and thirty million into four trillion

1047
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 11: dollars plus and you can send every family of four

1048
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 11: in America for a check now fifty thousand dollars and

1049
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 11: say here, get some healthcare. And where the money's going

1050
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 11: is these middlemen.

1051
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: You are a policy guy. I am obsessed with tech regulation.

1052
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: I think tech company is basically killed newspapers and now

1053
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: are just trying to make content any cheap way they can.

1054
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 4: What can you guys do to enact tech regulation?

1055
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 11: Well, it seems to me the most important thing is

1056
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 11: to make sure that the big guys, you know, I

1057
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 11: mean look at Google. You know Google's being broken up

1058
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 11: in effect. I mean, you're seeing big changes. But I

1059
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 11: want to make sure that the little guys, who's the

1060
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 11: horse I've always been riding, the big guys can take

1061
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 11: care of themselves. Get this in one of my tech bills.

1062
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 11: Mark Zuckerberg would be in jail now for lying.

1063
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 6: About privacy issues.

1064
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 4: Right.

1065
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 11: So I have never, as a guy who's always involved

1066
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 11: in tech policy, people say, oh, you know, Ron's a

1067
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 11: really good guy, but the big guys are benefiting. I

1068
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 11: have no horse in that game.

1069
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 3: But for the little guys.

1070
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 11: You know, the Me Too movement, Black Lives Matter? How

1071
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 11: did that get out? It got out because we had

1072
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 11: a platform in order to give those people voices they

1073
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 11: couldn't have gotten anywhere else.

1074
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 4: Should Tittock be banned?

1075
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 11: I like what we're doing in our legislation, which is

1076
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:45,439
Speaker 11: saying it's got.

1077
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: To be American right, got to be sold to an

1078
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: American conglomerate.

1079
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1080
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 2: Senator Austin Davis is the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania.

1081
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fast Politics. Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, Austin Davis.

1082
00:53:58,719 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me. It's great to do.

1083
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is like pretty much the whole ballgame it is.

1084
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: So what does that look like? And what did Democrats

1085
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: need to do? You are the lieutenant governor, you have

1086
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: one state level. You know what we're dealing with. Tell

1087
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: us what we're doing.

1088
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I.

1089
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 12: Think Democrats need to one show up everywhere, not just

1090
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 12: big cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. We need to go

1091
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 12: to small communities all across Pennsylvania and listen to voters

1092
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 12: and make the case on how we're going to make

1093
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 12: our economy better, how we're going to make our community safer,

1094
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 12: and how we're going to create laders of opportunity for

1095
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 12: everyone to live the American dream.

1096
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: So explain to our listeners what it looks like Pennsylvania like.

1097
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 12: So, you know, I'd like to say Pennsylvania, I think

1098
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 12: is the most representative of America. We've got big cities

1099
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 12: like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, vast amounts of rurallands, big wealth

1100
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 12: suburbs like outside of Philly, but also small towns like Erie,

1101
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 12: Lancaster or Harrisburg. And so you know, you got to

1102
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 12: make sure that you're talking everywhere. And sometimes Democrats need

1103
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 12: to go to places where it's not comfortable to be

1104
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 12: a Democrat, ye and make the case on how we're

1105
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 12: going to make the folks that live there their lives

1106
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 12: better as well. And I think President Harris has been

1107
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 12: doing that. She just did a bus tour in western

1108
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 12: Pennsylvania before she came to the convention.

1109
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 4: But she went to shots, right, aren't there two different?

1110
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 6: Oh? Sheets?

1111
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 3: Sheet?

1112
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 12: She went to sheets, So she was appropriate on the

1113
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 12: western part of the state.

1114
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 6: She went to sheet.

1115
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: Did show that Jesse is shaking his head because I

1116
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: have mispronounced sheets.

1117
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 6: Go on, they're sheets in Wahwah.

1118
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 12: So she was in the western side of the state,

1119
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 12: so totally appropriate to go to sheets.

1120
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 6: When she's in the eastern side, she'll go to wah

1121
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 6: Wah Okay.

1122
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 12: But yeah, So she did a tour in right outside

1123
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 12: of Pittsburgh, the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Aliquippa and Beaver and

1124
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 12: Beaver and Rochester, small steel towns, and this was going

1125
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 12: to take just going and talking about her vision for

1126
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 12: the economy, how she's going to address the issues that

1127
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 12: everyday Americans are facing. And she has always been a

1128
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 12: champion for working class Americans. So I think part of

1129
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 12: us is reintroducing her and the work she's done throughout

1130
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 12: the course of her career.

1131
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: Sort of what is the landscape like, jobs wise? What

1132
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: are your industries?

1133
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 12: So, agriculture is our number one industry in Pennsylvania.

1134
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 6: Agriculture.

1135
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 12: We've done actually an economic bell strategy that focuses on robotics, healthcare, agriculture, robotics,

1136
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 12: and biotech is kind of becoming a robotics in Pittsburgh

1137
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 12: because of carnegiemail and in biotech in Philadelphia. So those

1138
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 12: are kind of the five areas.

1139
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: What legislation have you guys passed that has been really popular?

1140
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 6: You know? So we have we've done all sides.

1141
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 4: Rebuilding that ninety.

1142
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 6: Five in two weeks. That was kind of a big deal.

1143
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: But by the way, I think, like fixing that road,

1144
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: people just can't even believe that anyone could do that.

1145
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, the sad part is people just don't expect that

1146
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 12: government can work for them. Or really solve any of

1147
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 12: our biggest problems. And I think when people saw that

1148
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,479
Speaker 12: it can work, they were like, wow, yeah, I mean, look,

1149
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 12: it's not it wasn't groundbreaking like rebuilding a bridge, but

1150
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 12: it was the two week it was the two week

1151
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 12: period that we were able to get it done so efficiently.

1152
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 12: But you know, we've done a lot. We've put millions

1153
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 12: of dollars in workforce development to address our workforce challenges.

1154
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 12: The Governor and I have made the largest investments in

1155
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 12: public education in our commonwealth's history to make sure every

1156
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 12: young person gets a quality education. I've personally taken on

1157
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 12: gun violence in our communities. We're staying up the first

1158
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 12: office at gun Violence Prevention in Pennsylvania. We're spending forty

1159
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 12: five million dollars to make sure everyone has the right

1160
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 12: to be safe and feel saved in our communities. And

1161
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 12: we've passed universal breakfast so that we can stamp out

1162
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 12: hunger among kids in Pennsylvania.

1163
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 6: So we've made a.

1164
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 12: Lot of good work in a year and a half

1165
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 12: and still got a lot of good stuff to do.

1166
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 4: Competing with tim Walls.

1167
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 6: We are competing with it.

1168
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 12: We were competing with tim Walls, and you know, what

1169
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 12: competition for stamping out hunger among young people. That's a

1170
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 12: good competition we should be engaging in.

1171
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,520
