WEBVTT - Doug Emhoff & Rick Wilson

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics,

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>where we discussed the top political headlines with some of

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>today's best minds, and West Virginia Governor Jim Justice, who

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>is now running for Senate, barely shows up to the

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>state House. We have such a great show for you

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.240
<v Speaker 1>today the Lincoln Projects. Rick Wilson joins us to discuss

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump's further descent into madness. Then we'll talk to Second

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Gentleman Doug m Hoff about what are really mistakes of

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>this election. But first the News.

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Sunday shows one of them. Fox's Maria Barbiromo invited mister

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Trump on and crazy in suit. Let me show you not.

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 3>Let's remember you've got fifty thousand Chinese nationals in this

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 3>country in the last couple of years. There are people

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 3>on the terrorist watch list three hundred and fifty in

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>the last couple of years. Like you said, thirteen thousand

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 3>murderers and fifteen thousand rapists.

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 4>What are you expecting?

0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden said he doesn't think it's going to be

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>a peaceful election day.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, he doesn't have any idea what's happening in Rolfers.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 5>He spends most of his as day sleeping. I think

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 5>the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 5>the people that have come in and destroying our country

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 5>by the way, totally destroying our country, to towns, the villages,

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 5>they're being inundated, But I don't think they're the problem

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 5>in terms of election. I think the bigger problem are

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 5>the people from within. We have some very bad people,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 5>we have some sick people, radical left lunatics, and I

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 5>think they're the and it should be very easily handled

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 5>by if necessary, by National Guard or if really necessary,

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 5>by the military, because they can't let that.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 4>Happen towns and villages.

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes you feel like it's just taken straight

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>from the original German enemies from within. That's us, Jesse,

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that is us. I did take that implication opinion columnists.

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't like people with dissenting views. And again, look,

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the guy who starts the camps never just uses the

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>camps for the immigrants, He also uses them for the people.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Once you start a camp, it's very hard to sort

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>of just you just sort of put everybody in it.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 4>If history is any guide, I'd love to be wrong.

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I hope to be wrong. Look is not surprising. Trump

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>has said stuff like this before, somehow presented to the

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>country thinks maybe he's kidding.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Last time he wasn't able to do it because he

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>wasn't organized enough. This time, I'd be surprised if he

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>was not able to put this whole thing together. And

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>this moves us to our next news item, which.

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Is one of the many people who once worked for

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Trump that really are scared of the idea of him

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>becoming president again.

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>US Army General Mark Milly, you'll remember woke Mark Milly,

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>by the way, not very woke, says that Donald Trump

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 1>is fascist to the core. I'm sorry, okay, Mark Milly,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the US Army general who Donald Trump appointed to Chairman

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has a warning. It

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>is that Donald Trump is fascist to the core. And

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>then he says no person has ever opposed more of

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a danger to the United States than the man who

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>served as forty fifth president.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry.

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>This is the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Staff saying this. In a normal world, right, this would

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>be on.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 4>The cover of the New York Times. You will notice

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 4>it is not on the cover of the New York Times.

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>In fact, the news cycle today is largely devoted to

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a poor poll for Vice President Harris as opposed to again,

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>we're doing exactly what you're not supposed to be doing.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Mainstream media is covering the odds and not the stakes.

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Once again, twenty three days before possible fascist takeover of

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>this country and the mainstream media is covering the odds

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and not the stakes.

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Boy, Yeah, well, in other stories that they're missing. Trump

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>was a little waco at the Aurora, Colorado rally. As

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>opposed to all the other ones, he was wacko up,

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.039
<v Speaker 2>but this one, I think there was a particular quote

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>that was a little little alarming to us. What'd you see?

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Your mind?

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Unbelievable.

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>So there was a lot of questions about why Donald

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump was going to Aurora, Colorado. It didn't make a

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of sense. Colorado is a pretty blue state. But

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>it became clear when he got there. He is running

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>on this idea of bringing back the Alien Enemies Act

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>of seventeen ninety eight. So the Alien Enemies Act of

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>seventeen ninety eight basically gives the president power to sort

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of go after people who are For example, was used

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>during World War Two to in turn the Japanese right

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>because the idea there was that people were Japanese were

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>not loyal to this country, and so you could put

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>them in camps and take all their stuff.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 4>It's one of the darkest I mean.

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>That and Jim Crow are like two of the darkest

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>pieces of American history, both of which Donald Trump is

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>running for president on. He's running for president on Jim Crow. Right,

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't say it quite like that, but he kind

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of does. And the Japanese internment camps. So, and you

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>have people who want this. I don't want to seem

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>hysterical when I say this is so insane. Anyway, So

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump went to Aurora to say that the Denver

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 1>suburb has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs.

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 4>This is not true. And now he wants to use.

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>This alien Enemy's Act of seventeen ninety eight to basically

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>put all of these people in camps. He's going to

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>call it Operation Aurora. So, as you know, with the Republicans,

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>fighting invisible crime is one of their signatures. And it

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.719
<v Speaker 1>looks like we're going to see more of this unless

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>somehow Harris can win this election.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there really was great journalism done around how

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 2>much of a made up issue. This was that was

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 2>just the hysteric fever swamps of right wing citizen journalism

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 2>who made this all come about this issue in Aurora.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yet again, right, we keep seeing this yep.

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>So I find this particularly disgusting, which is that House

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Speaker Mike Johnson says that hurricane aid can wait until

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>after the House recess, after the election. What are you

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>see in here?

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:30.479
<v Speaker 5>Mind?

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Look, FEMA has money.

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Now, Hurricane season doesn't end till November, and sometimes it

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>can go even later.

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, in the past presidential elections it's been right

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>up to the election at times.

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, So there is still hurricanes, natural disasters, fires. For now,

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 1>FEMA's okay, but it's a delicate balance. It would be

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>a great time to pull everyone back, especially in the House,

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and authorize.

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 4>More money for FEMA.

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 1>There's no reason not to do this except that Mike

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Johnson a doesn't really care. And again, look, this is

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Republicans not wanting the federal government to work, right. When

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>they're not lying about federal government response, they are, in

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>fact making sure that the federal government doesn't have the

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>money it needs to do the things that it promises

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>it's citizens. So I'm not surprised that Mike Johnson didn't

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>want to do this, but it's very annoying to me,

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and it really does set up a possible cash crunch

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>later on in the month.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Very annoying.

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>So another subject that seems to have been very glazed

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>over as Bob wood Word's revelation that Trump and Putin

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>are besties who gets gifts said to them in the

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 2>form of COVID tests? What are you seeing here with

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Kamo's reaction to this.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>This is something that I think a lot of people

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>hoped that she would do, which is she is really

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>running on some of this stuff. So the idea the

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump during the COVID pandemic was more interested in

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>getting COVID tests to Vladimir Putin, a nefarious Russian dictator,

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>than he was to his own people. I think it

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>was a pretty good sign about where Donald Trump's loyalties lie.

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that Harris is blasting Trump on this, and

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope she makes this her closing message. Speaking of

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>closing messages, you know who's you know who is working

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>real hard to try to pump up his bestie. Do

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you know who that is?

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 2>One musk?

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, everyone's favorite South African billionaire, his social media platform

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>is doing all the stuff that he was convinced Twitter

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.079
<v Speaker 1>was doing before he bought Twitter. So remember you'll remember

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the Twitter leaks where he and listened to all of

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>these journalists to spread stories about how old Twitter was

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>suppressing speech.

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, guess what Elon Musk is doing it? Can you guess?

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Is it suppressing links and suppressing speech and manipulaing the

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>for you page? So it's a right wing hellscape.

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 4>Wait, it's like you're in my brain.

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So Elon is doing all the things that he

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>accused Twitter of doing. He's suppressing the links, he is

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.439
<v Speaker 1>taking them down, he's throttling speech. And you know again,

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>why is he doing that? Because this was never He

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>was never a free speech absolutist. All of these people

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>who say they were free speech absolutists.

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 4>They are absolutely not that. They are just people.

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Who want to get their own way. And look, Elon

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Musk has if Donald Trump becomes president, he will have

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>no regulation and that means that as AI grows, he

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>can be the king of AI and he can do

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever he wants with it. And this is why and

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these tech pros they want two things

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>from Donald Trump. They don't want to be taxed, right,

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and remember in twenty fifteen and there's a huge his

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>tax cuts expire. So the billionaires, the people who are

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>benefiting from the Trump tax cuts, do not want to

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>lose those tax cuts. So that's part of it. And

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>then the other part of it is they do not

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>want government regulation. So, for example, the fact that you

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>can't trust anything you see online, right, almost anything you

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>see online is untrustworthy at this point. Everything you see

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>on x is untrustworthy. That is because there's no government regulation, right,

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no They're not trying to regulate Facebook, they're not

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to regulate AI. They're not trying to regulate anything.

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>So if Donald Trump becomes president again, he will and

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anyone will be surprised by this, he

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>will not regulate AI. He will not regulate Facebook. And

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>he will also not regulate like the clean water or

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>clean air or even you know, remember all the stuff

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>with Boeing Like this is lack of government regulation. This

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>is what happens when the federal government doesn't regulate things.

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>This is why Elon Musk wants Trump back in office,

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>because he knows that less regulation benefit.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent. We have even more tour dates for you.

<v Speaker 1>Politics Ribolls.

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Hello, hollast, what's going on.

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 6>We're racing towards the end of the Trump Apocalypse. The

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 6>campaign is in his final three weeks. Shit is getting,

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 6>as the kids say, very real. And Donald Trump went

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 6>to Coachella and left ten thousand people stranded in the desert.

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 4>The vibes are anxious.

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I do for me, do for our podcast listeners what

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>you do for me at least five times a day.

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 6>Look, guys, Trump's central strategy right now is to make

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 6>Democrats feel like the world is over. The election is lost.

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 6>We're all doomed. There's nothing ahead of us but a

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 6>thousand year Trump Reich. It's not true. We are moving

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 6>in the right direction. The race is close. Of course,

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 6>she's been a cannon for less than ninety days. Donald

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 6>Trump is one hundred percent well known brand we are

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 6>not behind. We are ahead in Key State. We are

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 6>moving further ahead in Key states. The zone flooding of

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 6>garbage polls from Trafalgar and Rasmus and all these other

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 6>one off instantaneous polling operations to alter the polling averages

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 6>is to depress you. It is to make you get

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 6>up in the morning and go, oh shit, well he's

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 6>gonna win again. I'm not going to bother to go

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 6>vote because what it does matter this is and look,

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 6>nothing in Donald Trump's world right now is going the

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 6>right direction. You had the chief of his the chairman

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.079
<v Speaker 6>of his Joint chiefs of staff say he's a fascist.

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 1>You arek Milly, he is a fascist. He is a fascist.

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 6>And he didn't like walk around that like he has

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 6>fascist tendencies or he's fascist adjacent. He was like, no,

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 6>he is a fascist.

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>For Mark Milly, I just want you to take him

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>in here as someone who has worked in national security

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and for Dick Cheney, Dear God, forgive all of us.

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>My poor grandfather, my poor communist grandfather in his grave,

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>going oi Gavault, But just talk to us about what

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it means for someone like Mark Melly to go public.

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 6>One of the most sacred things in the senior leadership

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 6>of the American military is that they try to stay

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 6>out of politics. They do everything they can to stay

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 6>out of domestic politics. They're not And look, they may

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 6>have their inclinations Republican or Democrat, it may go back

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 6>and forth. You might be able to tell what their

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 6>inclinations are. I can tell you I knew one Air

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 6>Force Chief of staff who came across like a swaggering

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 6>two gun cowboy all the time and was a bleeding

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 6>heart progressive liberal Democrat. And I've known plenty of these

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 6>guys who would sooner die than come out and say, oh,

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 6>now I'm involved in politics, even once they're retired. But

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 6>General Millie, who is a very principled guy and who

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 6>learned one hard lesson that during the Loafiante Square Park

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 6>thing when he walked with Trump at Trump's insistence, he

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 6>recognized what this guy was trying to do a minute

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 6>too late. He's made up for it now. He's gone

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 6>back through this whole problem and addressed it in a

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 6>way that I think is really important. He is not

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 6>allowing Trump to skate on this. He's saying the F word.

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 6>He's saying that he's speaking the truth out loud. He's

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 6>not playing any games, and that's happening increasingly because that's

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 6>what Trump is. Don't be afraid of it. Folks call

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 6>him what he is, call him by his name, right right,

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 6>And look, the racism is now in is now up

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 6>at eleven in these speeches. I'm telling you my bet

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 6>that he's going to drop the end bomb at some

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 6>point in this campaign. I like my money on this

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 6>because it's that overt. I think all of it, Molly

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 6>comes down to one thing. Trump is. He cannot change.

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 6>He can never get new customers, fire up his base

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 6>and they'll maybe drag him across the line. And he's

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 6>to depress Kamala Harris's base so they don't come out

0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 6>and vote. I persuading anybody. There's nobody new coming into

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 6>Trump's world and going wow, I suddenly.

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Realized, I love fascism. It's the best. No, I agree.

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a really good point. And we are

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in a moment in American life where he is really

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a real hood off moment for Trump.

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 4>I think that's fair.

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 6>He was a hoodoff moment he is he is right

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 6>now in the pointy white it's everything but the pointy

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 6>white hat. At this point, the Harry crosses. He's doing

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 6>a national rally, an American Bund rally at Madison Square Garden,

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 6>just like the American Nazi Party did the American the

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 6>Bund did back in the nineteen thirties. And this is

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 6>one of those examples of like history doesn't repeat, but

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 6>it rhymes with a really good beat. It's ridiculous.

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you think just give me two seconds here, do

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you think that? Like, what do you think the thinking

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>is Behindella? Couldchella, New York, Madison Square Garden? Like, what

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>do you think the thinking is on those?

0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 6>He thinks it drives a lot of media.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 4>That's the thing.

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 6>He thought Cochello would drive a lot of media, and

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 6>that what they and I did hear some somebody inside

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 6>the campaign, my friend Mike Madrid had the theory and

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 6>then I did confirm it with somebody in the campaign.

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 6>They thought Trump thought, in particular, there'd be a lot

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 6>of hispanics at the Coachella rally. Who really showed up

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 6>to the Coachella rally? Old Trump, old white Trump dudes

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:24.680
<v Speaker 6>always do. Donald Trump's brand is very old and also elderly.

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:25.160
<v Speaker 4>And not young.

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 6>I see whispers.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Jesse really wants us to talk and he's like been

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.880
<v Speaker 1>telling me about this earlier. He wanted me to talk

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.879
<v Speaker 1>about this too. I'm not sure why damning video shows

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Rogerstone plotting a coup for November. I mean, damning video.

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Does this surprise anyone? I would be surprised if there

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a Rogerstone video.

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 6>You've got videos this weekend out from Roger Stone, from

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:52.200
<v Speaker 6>a certain former national, from a certain form in general whose.

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 4>Name, because you're on court with him, because.

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 6>He's suing me for ten million dollars for being mean

0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 6>to him on the internet the internet for retweeting someone.

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, well, don't be me and them on the internet.

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 4>That was the mistake. You've got Robert Stone.

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 6>You've got this guy. If you guys haven't yet encountered

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 6>Ivan Rayelkin, who's running around talking about how they're going

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 6>to storm precincts in Pennsylvania to make sure those dastardly

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 6>communist precinct agents aren't stealing Trump's votes with guns.

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Of course, is that the guy who got arrested in

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Coachella or is that someone else?

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 6>That's someone else?

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, that guy seems great to but any look.

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 6>At you hear you have Roger Stone admitting on tape, yes,

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 6>we purge, We're purging a million of them. And Molly,

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 6>I'll give you just one guess as to the race,

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 6>and that's the composition of them. And when it comes

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 6>down to Roger Stone and so all of it really

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 6>comes down to I think, and I'm actually today I

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 6>heard the Justice Department was firing off letters to Virginia

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.679
<v Speaker 6>and Florida and other places, suddenly waking the fuck up

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 6>twenty three days out before the election's here, Hello, finally

0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 6>saying to these states that don't do this, you can't

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 6>do this. It's the elite. But as always with the

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 6>Justice Department, they are they never fail to show up

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.399
<v Speaker 6>late without the right number of fire trucks.

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they seem really behind the behind and not all

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that proactive. Now again, we don't know what's going on

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, but it certainly does that feel good.

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.360
<v Speaker 6>Look, I will take any sand thrown in the gears

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.920
<v Speaker 6>of the Republican effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans. Millions

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 6>of these people that are being taken off the ballot

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.920
<v Speaker 6>are being done. It's being done in coordination with state

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 6>Republican parties curating the vote. Yeah, I've been told by

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 6>two separate sources that the Republican Party of Florida is

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 6>giving the lists of people who have to come off

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 6>of the ballot or off of the voter file to

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 6>the counties saying this is the list you're going to use,

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.439
<v Speaker 6>and the governor's going to insist on it.

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Jesus call me crazy, but it's not how any of

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 1>this is supposed to any of.

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 6>This is supposed to work. And look, you've got a

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 6>lot of these people that are telling you what they're

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.159
<v Speaker 6>going to do. They are they're going to do what

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.360
<v Speaker 6>they tell us they're going to do. Listen, I'm sanguine

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 6>about the elect I am ready for a really ugly

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 6>two months between Wednesday, the day after the election and

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 6>January sixth's. Yeah, that's going to get hairy, and it's

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 6>going to get ugly, and it's going to get I

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 6>think it's going to get very dangerous for the country

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 6>during that window.

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's not what. That's not good. That is not good.

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:21.360
<v Speaker 4>It's funny.

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.919
<v Speaker 1>What's nice about talking to you is you give us

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>stuff to worry about that I actually have talked to

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you quite.

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 4>A lot, so I was already worried about that.

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.159
<v Speaker 1>But before that, I was just worried about the election.

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 1>But it's nice to know that in twenty days we

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 1>will be worried about a whole other slate. I really

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that, because I was worried that I would be

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>worried about the wrong things. I want you to explain

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 1>to us a little bit about what's happening right now,

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 1>sort of with the rest of the election.

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 4>It's funny.

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to someone who's a straight reporter today

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.439
<v Speaker 1>who was saying, Democrats are you know, very gloom and dooming,

0:20:56.640 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 1>glooming and dooming. Sure, Then he goes, you know, this

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>is like his dark side. He goes, if the point,

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>if we're off a little bit in the polls, you

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>could see how Ted Cruise could lose.

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 6>I think that Ted Crews has a chance to lose.

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.639
<v Speaker 6>It is in narrow path. It requires Colin Allred spending

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 6>every minute of the maining part of this campaign in

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 6>Harris County and the Houston metro area. And I'll just

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 6>be frank. He needs to go to every black church

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.439
<v Speaker 6>in that area over and over again. He needs to

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 6>reve up African American turnout between three and five percent,

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.359
<v Speaker 6>and Ted Cruz can't win if he does that. He

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 6>should not fuck around with anything else. Don't do any

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 6>don't take any votes in Washington, don't go out trying

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 6>to win over El Paso. Sit in Harris County. You're

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 6>going to get a huge percentage, almost a quarter of

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 6>the vote, a little more a quarter of the vote

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 6>out of the Houston metro area. I mean, occasionally dip

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 6>over to Dallas, but that turnout up. Ted Cruise is unpopular,

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 6>he's unlikable, he's old.

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Let you get to say terrible things about Ted Cruise.

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 1>What's nice about bringing this up is now you're able

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.159
<v Speaker 1>to go on. Yes, he's a fish, microwaiver.

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 4>We know it. Man.

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, but he's only able to exist in an

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.120
<v Speaker 6>environment like Texas. Tech Cruz would be even in any

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 6>other red state. By this point, the guy doesn't give

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 6>a shit about Texas. He doesn't even live there anymore.

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 6>He lives in DC. He's got his podcasting in Empire

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 6>of his and that's what he cares about. The guy

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 6>doesn't spend a lot of time. He's disengaged from work

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 6>in the Senate because he knows he'll never get leadership

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 6>even when the Magas take over, and all of it

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 6>comes down to this like likability question in a big way.

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 6>And I think a lot of Texans have seen Ted

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 6>Shenanigans now for two cycles and he's an unlikable guy.

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 6>And look, Texas is in transition. If it's not this race,

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 6>it's won two years from now. A lot of Californians

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 6>are moving there, a lot of folks from the new

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 6>Northeastern moving there. A lot of younger people are moving there.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.920
<v Speaker 6>It's a young state, it's getting younger every day. It's

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.920
<v Speaker 6>a Hispanic state, getting more Hispanic every day. And while

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.160
<v Speaker 6>that doesn't mean one hundred per one to one correlation

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 6>with the Republican.

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Votes DEMOCREDA votes, excuse me.

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 6>It certainly is a much more favorable environment that we

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.680
<v Speaker 6>would have had eight years ago or even four years ago.

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Talk to me about sort of what she's doing her

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>closing message, because I did this thing with Carvil last

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>night and Carvil was saying, what's her She has to

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 1>have a really strong closing message.

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 4>And also she's.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 1>On her way through all of the swing states next week,

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.119
<v Speaker 1>like a crazy swing stage, putting.

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 6>In the work. Okay, Yeah, that matters. That counts a lot.

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.360
<v Speaker 6>Remember Donald Trump is still skipping days on the trail

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 6>two golf even right now this week.

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Even now I thought they weren't letting him golf because

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of security.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:44.879
<v Speaker 6>He's still He's still sneaking it in Florida.

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm told at doraw.

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 6>But she's doing the work, She's getting out there. I

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:51.360
<v Speaker 6>don't think of campaigns in the same way I think

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 6>of thought of campaigns even two years ago. I think

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 6>going on Call Her Daddy was more important for her

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 6>campaign than any ten rallies. You can't buy that level

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 6>of media coverage and that level of audience engagement. I

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 6>think going on Howard Stern as Scott Gallows of the day,

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 6>this is this maybe the year of the podcast presidency.

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 6>Trump is going on Crypto Bro podcasts and the Manisphere

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.439
<v Speaker 6>podcasts and the Milk Brothers. Whatever the hell that is

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 6>sounds like amboys, milk boys. Excuse me THENLK.

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't even I don't even know what any of that.

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm just honestly, I don't even think you do want

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.879
<v Speaker 6>to know about it these But she's out there talking

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.400
<v Speaker 6>to people with audiences in the tens of millions. He's

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 6>out there talking to people of audiences of guys who

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 6>have a den crippling Hentai fetish in their mom's baseball.

0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Also, Trump did Let's talk about Trump's stranding people in

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Coachella for a minute. How is that a good way? Like,

0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>don't let the followers get mad that they're stranded somewhere

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 1>or now.

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:53.919
<v Speaker 6>They're blaming the deep state, they're some they're blaming the

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 6>mayor of Riverside. They're blaming everybody else except for the

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 6>motherfucker who organized the buses for the event. And that

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.680
<v Speaker 6>was Donald Trump's campaign. And when they left these people

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 6>hanging out in the desert, all of a sudden, the

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 6>tough guy. Look your feelings, They're like, I feel so

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 6>abed and it alone in the desert. I okay, boo

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 6>fucking who blame Donald Trump? You want to blame somebody,

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 6>Blame Donald Trump because Donald Trump was a motherfucker who

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 6>left you in the desert. Donald Trump was the guy

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 6>who didn't get the buses set up in a way

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:28.159
<v Speaker 6>where they had enough capacity and enough gas in the

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:30.400
<v Speaker 6>buses to do the entire operation.

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about Liz Cheney again, went on She's

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>really doing God's work here.

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 4>She went on the Sunday Shows.

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>She said she doesn't think that Maga Mike Johnson will

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.399
<v Speaker 1>do his job certifying the election. She was in the

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Republican leadership up until two years ago. I mean, this

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>is wild tough.

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:56.679
<v Speaker 6>She knows who he is, She understands who Mike Johnson is.

0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:00.679
<v Speaker 6>She is correct, and let's remember on this same Sunday

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:03.920
<v Speaker 6>shows this week, Mike Johnson said we had a peaceful

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:05.879
<v Speaker 6>transition of power in twenty I want to say this,

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 6>like very bluntly to my friends in the media. Anytime

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 6>a Republican official says that you had a peaceful transfer

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 6>of power in twenty twenty, or says, well, Donald Trump

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 6>was shooting in the election, the solution is not to say, well,

0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 6>let me ask you another question. The solution is to

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 6>frog marks them out of the fucking building as security

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 6>comes and takes them off the set, and that you

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 6>never invite them back, because these people are willfully engaging

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 6>in what they know, and the hosts and the networks

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:38.439
<v Speaker 6>know to be egregious lies. The idea we had a

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 6>peaceful transfer of power in twenty twenty is truly epic

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 6>in its shamelessness less, having none of it. She's having

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 6>none of it. And look, I think her performance in

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 6>this role that she is in right now as a

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 6>truth teller about what the has become and is becoming,

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.400
<v Speaker 6>is peerless. I think she's absolutely I think she's absolutely

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 6>gone out there and truely put country over party.

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, just agree with.

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 6>Kamala Harris on everything. I don't agree with on everything.

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 4>I know you don't you both well.

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:10.959
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but I'm more of a sick guy it anyway,

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 6>But I own some glocks. But long story short, this

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 6>idea that you've got two types of people, the people

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:19.840
<v Speaker 6>telling you the truth about the world actually looks like

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 6>the list Chinese and the people demanding that you accept

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.400
<v Speaker 6>a lie that they know and to be a lie

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:28.959
<v Speaker 6>and that they know that you are stuck in this

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 6>media generated self referential frame of oh god, if I'm

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:35.439
<v Speaker 6>not if I'm not objective, and I don't pretend that

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 6>this is a real. No, you don't have to. Martha

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 6>Raddick should have said, get the fuck off my get

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:43.640
<v Speaker 6>the fuck off my set, or Walker, get the fuck

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 6>off my set, leave go, you're out, shut the mic off.

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 6>That's the correct answer, and then that will be the

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 6>one thing that punishes the lie. These guys. For all

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:56.159
<v Speaker 6>that they hate the mainstream media, they are desperate to

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 6>use it to overturn the freedoms and liberties that make

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 6>the mainstream possible.

0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, so I play you guys one thing before

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 2>we go live from a Trump rally right now, All right,

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 2>this is Trump talking about a chart to have a

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>strong order, and.

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:12.400
<v Speaker 5>That's why we had that beautiful chart.

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 4>Was my favorite yard in history.

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Sleepy that I kiss it, just making a face I

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:20.200
<v Speaker 1>sleep on day.

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 4>I kiss it.

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 6>Well and to that, Melania says, thank fucking good.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.240

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Nope, not that is nope, not that.

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you concerned about Project twenty twenty five and how

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 1>awful Trump's second term could be?

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Well so are we, which is why.

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 1>We teamed up with iHeart to make a limited series

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>with the experts on what a disaster Project twenty twenty

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>five would be for America's future. Right now, we have

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>just released the final episode of this five episode series.

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>They're all about By looking up Molly Jong Fast Project

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five on YouTube, and if you are more

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:09.719

<v Speaker 4>Back just like a podcast. All five episodes are online.

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Now we need to educate Americans on what Trump's second

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>term would or could do to this country.

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 4>So please watch it and spread the word.

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Doug Emhoff is the second Gentleman of the United States.

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Fast Politics, Doug.

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm Mollie.

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 4>It's good to do this.

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 7>I'm a listener. Now I get to be beyond. So

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 7>this is cool.

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm delighted to have you and I think of

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm not going to ask you to do the

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>borad voice. I'm not going to ask you, okay, I'm

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 1>just going to clear the air.

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 7>No asking you to do or was it or was

0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 7>it there's a whole controversy.

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 4>Was it or was it for art?

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 7>Or was it just you know? Who knows?

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 1>It is so cool, all right. I was born in

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the seventies hippie parents. They had a marriage that sort

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 1>of imploded over my mother's career, among other things. So

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you have this really strong marriage where you have stopped

0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 1>doing your career to support your spouse, like I also

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>have a marriage like that, but I'm just hoping you

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 1>could talk about what that is like.

0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 7>So it's funny when this comes up. I don't think

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 7>it's so unique. This is just a husband and a

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 7>wife who love each other very deeply. We support each other,

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 7>and we are there for each other. We're there for

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 7>our family, and we've got this big, huge, blended family.

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 7>And I'm pretty old school. I mean, my main thing

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 7>in life is to protect those that I love and

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 7>be there for my family and support them. And so

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 7>because my wife, in her chosen career, went from United

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 7>States Center vice president, and because of that unbelievable career move,

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 7>it was a no brainer. I worked right up until

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 7>the time that Joe Biden called her to be on

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 7>the ticket. Very happily. I was very successful. I felt

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 7>left a full play to work. But for my partner,

0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 7>who I love very much, who had this opportunity, it's

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 7>just part of who I am. Again, it's very old school.

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 7>I don't think it's a new thing. And this is

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 7>what you know you should do is be there for

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 7>those who love and this is something that was necessary

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 7>to support her. And it's okay. Now I get to

0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 7>be second gentleman, and I get to support her as

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 7>a vice president. I get to travel the world representing

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 7>this country that I love so much. I get to

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 7>stand up for US Jews in this fight against anti Semitism.

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 7>I get to focus on issues regarding you know, the

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 7>Dobbs decision and encouraging men. Hey look, I'm focused on

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 7>this issue because it affects all of us, not just women,

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 7>women or dying, but it affects family planning, it affects

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 7>other rights potentially, which we saw in the Dops decision.

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:10.719
<v Speaker 7>So it's given me an ability to have this platform,

0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 7>which is really satisfying in terms of, you know, like

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 7>a career. It's actually just been an incredible experience. I

0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 7>get to teach at Georgetown Law School to keep my

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 7>head in the legal profession. So this is this has

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 7>been great. This is not I have not become less

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 7>of a dude. I'm not less of a person because

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 7>of this. She loves me the same that I love her.

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 7>She supports me just as much as I support her.

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.160
<v Speaker 7>So this is this is kind of business as usual.

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>We're both Jews and you're just talking about that. One

0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of the things I see a lot in my life

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 1>are fancied Jews, because that's a group that you know,

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I sort of know, and Trump has managed to get

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>this insane message to them that somehow he is better

0:32:58.160 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>for Jews.

0:32:59.040 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Just make it make sense.

0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 7>I've spoken on this several times. You know, Look, if

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 7>you go back to Charlottesville with the tiki torches and

0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 7>Jews will not replace us. And when Trump got up

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 7>there and a woman died and he's saying to neo

0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:17.960
<v Speaker 7>Nazis and people holding tiki torches, saying Jews shall not

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 7>replace us, that they will fine people on that side

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 7>of it, this is who he is. He's had dinner

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 7>with known anti Semites. There's a long record of anti

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 7>Semitism and Donald Trump. And then just go back a

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 7>couple of weeks. He was literally at an event purporting

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:41.640
<v Speaker 7>to be against anti Semitism, and he committed anti semitism

0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 7>at that event, with the dual loyalties bs and blaming

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 7>the Jews when he loses the election. This is who

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 7>he is. And listen to what Kamala Harris is saying.

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 7>She just did a big call to the Jewish community today.

0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 7>She gave beautiful remarks at our home on October seventh,

0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:02.800
<v Speaker 7>just listen to what she's saying, and like, I literally

0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 7>have to tell people, Look, do you think I would

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 7>literally be married to someone who didn't support Jews or

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:11.720
<v Speaker 7>Israel as a Jewish person? Come on, this is somebody

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 7>who supported Jews and Israel well before she met me.

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:17.359
<v Speaker 7>She was the one who took me to Israel when

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 7>she was the United States Senator. She's the one who

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 7>pushed me to really lean into this fight against anti Semitism.

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:28.000
<v Speaker 7>She's the one who pushed me to spearhead our White

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 7>House National Strategy to counter anti Semitism. And every day

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:35.640
<v Speaker 7>since that horrific day of October seventh, even when it's

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 7>been so hard for me to do, push me to

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 7>speak out loudly in this now crisis of anti Semitism

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 7>since October seventh. I would not be doing this but

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 7>for Kamala Harris.

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You have a really good sort of divorce, like one

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>of the great divorces. Your ex wife is really committed.

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.360
<v Speaker 1>She was at the DNC. She is one of the

0:34:58.400 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>biggest supporters of Harris. As a child of divorce parents.

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It is super moving to watch. How does that work?

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:11.280
<v Speaker 7>Well, you're talking about Kirsten, She's incredible, so look, even

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 7>during our divorce, we committed to each other that we

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 7>were going to remain very close together and also be

0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 7>there for the kids, and whatever other issues were happening,

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 7>we would just deal with those separately and make sure

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.759
<v Speaker 7>that she and I had an excellent relationship and an

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 7>excellent relationship with the kids. And that's exactly what we

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:36.879
<v Speaker 7>did from day one, and that carried over into when

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 7>I met Kamala, and so she accepted Kamala into her life. Personally,

0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:46.719
<v Speaker 7>they are close themselves and as parents, and you know,

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:50.080
<v Speaker 7>everyone talks about Kamala to Mamala, but I love what

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 7>Ella said after a couple of years. She said, you're

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:56.440
<v Speaker 7>a three headed parenting machine. And that's because of the

0:35:56.480 --> 0:36:01.880
<v Speaker 7>relationship of Kirsten and Kamala and the relationship that Kirsten

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:07.320
<v Speaker 7>and I preserved and actually gotten closer over the years.

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 7>So she is a fierce protector of our family like

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 7>we all are. And you know, every time something comes

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:21.240
<v Speaker 7>at us, she's the one out there pushing back because

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 7>that's how we roll, and that's how close we are.

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 7>And it's a testament to Kirsten and to Kamala, and

0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:31.560
<v Speaker 7>it's great and it's just really brought our family even

0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 7>closer going through this experience the last two plus months,

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.600
<v Speaker 7>it's brought us all closer. So you know, this is

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 7>it's been great.

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Are the kids, they're like young adults. That has to

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 1>be a huge strine.

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 7>So Cole is thirty now and married, he's been married

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:50.280
<v Speaker 7>for a year. El's twenty five. So it's interesting though, Molly,

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.840
<v Speaker 7>they still need us, and especially now with all this

0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:57.839
<v Speaker 7>going on. So we're really whatever little free time we have,

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:02.280
<v Speaker 7>we're really focused on Cole and Ella and Cole's wife Greenley,

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:06.960
<v Speaker 7>and you know, Kamala's grand nieces, and we just want

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 7>to make sure that they know that we are still

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 7>there for them and we're going to be around. So

0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 7>we're taking them on the trail. So I was just

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 7>on a west coast swing and I picked up Cole

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.600
<v Speaker 7>in La and then he came to Phoenix, Arizona with

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:21.960
<v Speaker 7>me for a couple of days with Greenley. Ella is

0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 7>going to meet me this weekend in Philadelphia for an

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 7>event or two, which happens to be my birthday, so

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 7>I get to spend part of that day with her,

0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 7>and so we're just including them and making sure we're

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 7>in constant contact. From the road. But yeah, I mean, look,

0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:40.640
<v Speaker 7>this whole experience has been surreal for all of us.

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:43.160
<v Speaker 7>It came about so suddenly, and it's just been a

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 7>rocket ship for two plus months. But everyone understands we've

0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:51.480
<v Speaker 7>got to win this election. And between Kamala and I, like,

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:54.439
<v Speaker 7>there's very little couple time right now. We're not really

0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:57.560
<v Speaker 7>seeing each other. We're trying to FaceTime stay in touch.

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 7>But we know the mission, we know what our responsibility is.

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 7>We're very accountable to it. We spend whatever time we

0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 7>have talking about I give her notes from the field,

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:11.160
<v Speaker 7>here's what I'm hearing from these states I'm going to,

0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 7>And it's all about what more can we do to

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:16.760
<v Speaker 7>make sure we're doing everything we can as a couple

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:19.799
<v Speaker 7>to win this election. That's it. That's all we're focused on,

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:20.720
<v Speaker 7>right and.

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:23.680
<v Speaker 1>That goes to the stakes of this election and the

0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:27.240
<v Speaker 1>case for why this is not a usual election.

0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 7>She said it, This is not only the most important

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:33.960
<v Speaker 7>election of our lifetimes, it's the most important election of

0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:37.760
<v Speaker 7>the nation's lifetime. And what I'm now saying is people

0:38:37.840 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 7>need to kind of what you're talking about with your

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:43.400
<v Speaker 7>Jewish friends, we need to just get out of this

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:48.239
<v Speaker 7>Trump has this fog that he's created, this fog of disinformation, gaslighting,

0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 7>misinformation to try to run out the clock because they

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:55.480
<v Speaker 7>try this character to her of her as she's not qualified,

0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 7>she's not competent, she's not intelligent. All got debunked when

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:01.880
<v Speaker 7>the American people got to see her in person and

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:04.800
<v Speaker 7>got to know her, saw how she literally just kicked

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:07.560
<v Speaker 7>his ass on that debate stage to a point where

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 7>he's now trying to run out the clock and run

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 7>away from her. Won't debate her again, won't go on

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 7>sixty minutes. He's avoiding her, and all he does is lie,

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:19.279
<v Speaker 7>lies about the female relief. He's lying in, gaslighting and

0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 7>creating this fog around him to just run out the clock.

0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 7>People need to just push that fog away and just

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:29.040
<v Speaker 7>see what's in front of them. You've got somebody with

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:32.920
<v Speaker 7>a horrible president the first time. He's way more dangerous

0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 7>now he's degrading in front of our eyes and the

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.520
<v Speaker 7>things that he's talking about. Dictator on day one, terminating

0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:44.280
<v Speaker 7>the Constitution Project twenty twenty five, extrapolating out the Dobs

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:48.400
<v Speaker 7>decision to take away more freedoms, damage to the environment,

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:51.200
<v Speaker 7>more guns on the street. This is not a world

0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:53.680
<v Speaker 7>that any of us would want to live in. So

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 7>if people can actually see what's in front of them,

0:39:57.200 --> 0:40:01.400
<v Speaker 7>one hand, terrible president the first time, way more dangerous, chaotic,

0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:04.359
<v Speaker 7>will make everyone's life worse. And then Kamal Harris, who

0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:08.439
<v Speaker 7>has been a prosecutor for twenty years putting away murders, rapists,

0:40:08.480 --> 0:40:12.880
<v Speaker 7>and sexual offenders. She was an elected district attorney, elected

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:16.520
<v Speaker 7>attorney general where she took on the transnational gangs at

0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:20.200
<v Speaker 7>the border, United States senator and vice president for four

0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:22.400
<v Speaker 7>years in which she's in the Oval office with the

0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:26.240
<v Speaker 7>President helping make decisions in the situation room. She's already

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:30.279
<v Speaker 7>a world leader. This woman is eminently qualified. She has

0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:35.239
<v Speaker 7>exceeded the most unrealistically high expectations every step of the way,

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:38.520
<v Speaker 7>DNC speech, debate, you name it. She's on a media

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.160
<v Speaker 7>blitz right now. Do you want to learn more about her,

0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:44.520
<v Speaker 7>go watch Stern and all these things she's doing. And

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:47.840
<v Speaker 7>she's relentless focused and determined. She's going to be a

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 7>president for everyone. She's not going to embarrass us on

0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:52.320
<v Speaker 7>the world stage. And this is why a bunch of

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 7>Republicans are for her. List Cheney, General McCrystal, and others.

0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 7>So it's all out there. People just need to open

0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 7>their eyes and see what's right in front of them.

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:03.759
<v Speaker 7>In this way, it's a binary choice.

0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 4>You guys have a gun, She's got a gun.

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:09.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, she's a responsible gun owner.

0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Is that super scary?

0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:12.400
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:15.880
<v Speaker 7>She believes in the Second Amendment, and she's talked about

0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:19.239
<v Speaker 7>her career law enforcement and having a gun. But she's

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:24.320
<v Speaker 7>responsible gun owner and also believes in reasonable and effective

0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:28.400
<v Speaker 7>gun safety laws. So children are not being murdered at school.

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 7>Do you know that the number one cause of death

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.359
<v Speaker 7>for young people in this country is gun violence? Yeah,

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 7>and it's so preventable. So both things can be true.

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:38.720
<v Speaker 7>You can be a responsible gun owner, you can believe

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:41.439
<v Speaker 7>in the Second Amendment. Nobody's taking your guns away. She's

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 7>not doing that. But she wants to make sure that

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:45.719
<v Speaker 7>gun violence is not the number one cause of death

0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 7>for our young people in this country, that you can

0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:49.319
<v Speaker 7>go to school, and go to the market, and go

0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:51.279
<v Speaker 7>to the bank and not be gunned down by a

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 7>weapon of war.

0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:54.560
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of people Listener's podcast who are

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:56.920
<v Speaker 1>voting for her, is not a question, but they have

0:41:57.000 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of anxiety, a lot. Number one anxiety is

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the campaign, reactive to what they're seeing on the field, etc.

0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 7>Oh definitely, that's why we are all out there each

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:14.840
<v Speaker 7>and every day in all seven swing states. It should

0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:19.160
<v Speaker 7>not be this close, and people should have anxiety because

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 7>we can't have Donald Trump come back. So instead of

0:42:22.160 --> 0:42:27.719
<v Speaker 7>just quivering and doing what Dems often do, channel that

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 7>into action. Folks, Channel that into door knocking and sending

0:42:32.960 --> 0:42:36.320
<v Speaker 7>out messages and coming to some of these seven swing states,

0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:39.239
<v Speaker 7>come to the office, go canvas with us, and do

0:42:39.320 --> 0:42:41.879
<v Speaker 7>what she and I are doing each and every day

0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 7>that we've been doing since July twenty first, NonStop, twenty

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 7>four to seven. This is what we're doing. So join

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 7>us in taking action, channeling that rage, that fear, that

0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:57.839
<v Speaker 7>anxiety into helping her win, rather than hand ringing.

0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Doug no momently, Jesse Cannon.

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 2>My junk fast. So Trump is really really playing with

0:43:10.200 --> 0:43:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a hand that is dangerous. He's suggest that a heckler

0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:15.680
<v Speaker 2>should get the hell knocked out of her after a

0:43:15.760 --> 0:43:16.600
<v Speaker 2>rally the other day.

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to normalize fascist rhetoric or autocratic rhetoric,

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:23.719
<v Speaker 1>but I would say, is it not the first time

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has hoped that hecklers would get beaten up.

0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 1>He also did this earlier in twenty seventeen. I think

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 1>he called he said to be rough with a Heckler. Look,

0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:37.400
<v Speaker 1>it's part of the whole autocrat thing, right, that you

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:41.920
<v Speaker 1>should punish people. He's low key encouraging his supporters to

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 1>dehumanize the other, to go after the other. This is

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:50.719
<v Speaker 1>very much textbook stuff, but it's really dark and it

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>shows where we are. I think it's really important to

0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:56.279
<v Speaker 1>remember this is setting the table for worse stuff. Right.

0:43:56.520 --> 0:44:00.279
<v Speaker 1>He's not saying to go after a Heckler because it's

0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:03.759
<v Speaker 1>this one Heckler, Right, He's saying it because he wants

0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:06.400
<v Speaker 1>them to do the stuff they did at January sixth.

0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:10.440
<v Speaker 1>He is encouraging violence, and it's really scary. It's really bad,

0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's also just really from the autocraft playbooks. So

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 1>look again, this cannot be more clear. This is an

0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:22.319
<v Speaker 1>election about these stakes, not the odds. We should be

0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:27.399
<v Speaker 1>thinking about the stakes of this, not the odds. Voting canvassing,

0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:30.960
<v Speaker 1>talking to your friends, make a voting plan, make them

0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:35.040
<v Speaker 1>make voting plans. This is a real moment for American

0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:37.799
<v Speaker 1>democracy and is a real question of if we're going

0:44:37.880 --> 0:44:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to be able to keep it. That's it for this

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:46.719
<v Speaker 1>episode of Fast Politics. Tune in every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday,

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:51.160

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:55.160
