Well, then, replied save america, I'm John favour. I'm John mother and I never think about the roman on tommy these or on today's pod. Trump gets hit from the right Republicans inch closer to a government shut down, congresswoman illicit slacken joined to talk about the politics of the? U s: w strike in a race for senate
romney says goodbye to the senate and good written to the republican party in local fewer enthusiast, Lauren bobo.
Apologizes lewd behavior that got her kicked out of Beetlejuice? What a sentence? What a sentence, but first jack smith, is now asking judge chicken
pose a gag order on donald trump to protect witnesses from his attacks, but that unsurprising,
we hasn't, stop the republican front runner from saying all kinds of crazy shit over the last few days, including during his first network television interview since his attempted coup
what a milestone, what a milestone in terms meet the press, it down with new host kristen welter. He talked about banning abortion. Pardoning insurrection,
and his criminal charges in a way that will certainly make life more difficult for him in his lawyers? What's listen I mean de shank is what
is willing to sign a five weaken six week. Bending support that you think. I think what you get is a terrible thing in a terrible mistake and republic.
Should go out and say the following day cause, I think the republican speak very inarticulately about this subject: proud boys.
Leader, Enrique tarja was sentenced to twenty two years
jail. Now that you know what the sent its twenty two years in jail, will you give him a pardon way rather proud voice? Abide? Will you pardon him in minneapolis
look at it. I'd look at that and I'd look at all the other people that have suffered the j six people were you calling the shots DA. Mr president, ultimately, as
whether or not I believed it was rigged sure it was my decision. Are you saying you needed those votes in order to win, or you acknowledging you didn't when I'm not
you know I say I won the election. That's what I say. Why do you say
so many legal experts are saying that trump's comments may have made his case harder to win what what kind of trouble might he have gotten himself in there? I think they want retweets environment as a very good point. Yeah you detect Larry tribe last week that replaces reposts. Oh there's, either repost
there were re threads about. Your question do an answer and I can do things like what's more, not yet
nice. Putting an end to answer your search, resend bower employed as people lorens, tribe, neo cordial, are pointing out that basically one of drums, big debate,
it's going to be, like my lawyers, were giving me advice. He saying I wasn't taking that advice and andrew weissmann front of the show. So then, on top of that he says also during the interview. Basically something like attempt
I said: stop counting the votes and that's that's a no, no that what she has said before, but you know reiterating it after you in charge, know it's an election. No, no, I'm famously! Not a lawyer. I will say: have you let go back and look at these like it's clear? What trump is trying to kind of like say to her and
like a snide way, but, unlike I kind of like like
like I as smarty pants, were his well the thing that
I thought yeah. I was in charge of thinking that it seems to be, if you actually look at it, what he was doing, yeah he's just the other thing was interesting,
the judges looking at whether there should be a gag order. I did
in saying that I hope, mark meadows is still loyal. Diana Hell. Don't forget about that yeah. That was not good, and also I envy you also called jack Psmith deranged again, because the gag orders both to protect first and foremost the witnesses so as to prevent the jury pull from being tainted. Brussels is both to protect the prosecutors in the judge from attacks which has been
levelling there is there is a very funny about the way walker asked. Two questions are not actually criticism of the questions, but just it's just out of the world we live in when people interview trump, which is a lot of the questions, were like that experiment. Where you put one marshmallows
I have a kid and save you don't eat it. You get to later because they're like hey. What do you think mark meant as low hey? Would you or interfere with the fed hey? Would you tell the d o j?
you ve come up. Would you like there's a little? I got his being to doubt he's being tempted by the grated year, which is where she was gettin out when she gonna say I listened to myself. It was my choice. She put the word loyal and his mouth to offer.
mark meadows, he was loyal. Yes, I do think, though, he's if the whole context of the remarks re the false remarks he's like. He basically said that she's like oh, you listen you. You called some of these people crazy. Some of their theories like sydney, pollack, wage, listened to them and he's like well. Why didn't you listen to yours?
the campaign lawyers in your white house lawyers, he said ball every lawyer who told me it wasn't rigged as a rhino, yeah gotham opera, which doesn't really that doesn't help your defense of counsel. It doesn't seem like your advice of counsel defense. He also,
said he testifying classified documents case, which he always says he's got it has time and doesn't he
megan Kelly and and his interview with her last week that he was,
loud to steal the classified documents and that he doesn't think he had to comply with the federal supply.
Well he's. I've should yeah she's like well, but but you get a subpoena
documents and then, of course, you have to go now. I don't know that's true, because I had a right to have those documents. It is also not a great not going to help us defence either
I would die. I felt on the whole, I see the point that he sort of I found this ought to be quite incremental, like there's a lot of what he is saying is it is a different phrasing or reiteration of the kinds of things are already in some of the indictment documents anyway, but yeah the classified docs
and discussion is was frustrating but an interesting we're unladen kaliko, because he t repeatedly says that the presidential record acts governs his skin
in classified documents, it absolutely doesn't. It is, does that is one of those things where he says it so often, and he says it with such conviction and he just steamrolled over any way that if you stop to think about it for even one second, you realize how stupid and inane it is the way
law works, is in tat. If you don't break one law, you can't
the other students- all it's not like you, does. It really makes sense at all. No sense in megaton push back on that at all, but she was like look. I was a lawyer for a very long time. If you get a subpoena, you have to turn over the stuff and he's like. I know that I dont know that you like he be contradicting himself in the same sentence
little legal brain turned on yeah. I dont. I think that was very damaging, because
remember the defense on the subpoena is an arrow. We gave you everything. What are you talking about? We didn't it. Wasn't it wasn't? Oh you sent me a subpoena and I said fuck you bush is basically what he did
said thing I didn't help, but he said no because well he's saying I didn't have to I'm here. What are you saying both about the heat I dunno? If he's confusing it or I'm confusing it or there's no way to not confuse it, but he he talks about the the the documents the same way.
Talks about the footage which is, I don't have to give you anything. I did it to be nice. I gave you everything you asked for it I didn't even have to
It's every position, you're saying they're my documents, I didn't have to give them to you, but I gave them all to you and I didn't try to delete the footage, but we didn't delete the footage, so everyone just be happy. He didn't have to comply with a federal subpoena, which you just can't say sure
if europe is not yet available, if you're, if you ve been charged with obstruction of justice for not complying with the federal subpoena gets it well. Ok,
I did tell you something out of for someone who can say something:
he did serve as a test bed. That's why he got in trouble. I know no gaggle of my presents why I think Jackson was probably pretty happy. So let's talk about the abortion comments, he certainly seemed like there and other places he's pivoting to a general election message on abortion. Can that work for the guy? Who also takes credit for eliminating the constitutional right to an abortion tommy? I don't think
I mean just let us talk about the polling, so he was criticising, run sanderson clip we heard for signing into last six week, abortion been seventy,
percent of all? U S, adults, believe abortion should be allowed up to six weeks of pregnancy. Fifty six percent of republican say abortion should be allowed in their state up to six weeks. So this is
Santa's position is wildly unpopular in the republican party. I don't think, though, that trump is gonna be able to fool anybody on abortion. He is wisely, I think, not taking the
They are in the primary, but everyone knows his judges are the ones who overturned rovers is weighed. He brags about
in front of you ve Angela Merkel, audiences. In the past, he said that women should be punished for getting an abortion. The guy I just don't buy that anyone could be fooled by this yeah. He can a lot like latro lumber into this issue. Any treats it like negotiating over the price of marble
it's like six weeks is crazy. Seven months is crazy. We'll get together we'll find a number where everybody walks away happy, which of course, are not the way. This issue works, though well it's in response to the polling that a lot of republicans will hang onto forever, even though I don't really agree with this,
is that you know if you ask people late term right- and you know, we've all said a million times or abortions late in pregnancy are extremely rare, usually there because of medical complications et cetera, et cetera, but if that, if you just pull the question without people having a base of knowledge, you'll have people sale what we don't want late term abortion, so he's heard that from republican pollsters anything
he's gonna get some kind of middle position here. I worry a little bit that it could work unless democrats, constant
remind people about what
amie just said, which is that he said that women should be punished for having abortions and then, of course, that he's out there bragging about appointing the three justices that overturned roe v wade in dobbs, and I think that's why the Biden campaign on one of their first ads basically has him saying both of those things in an ad. They have the rest of the Republicans too. But, like Democrats, Joe Biden with ads with speeches have to keep hammering it, because no one remembers anything in this fucking country like I. I do think he and he's trying to
you know it was the same thing in in twenty sixteen. When he's really danced round and tried to make himself see moderate on algae bt q issues, which of course he was not the same thing on
like not going to be a warmonger right, like we have the collective memory of a goldfish in this country. That is absolutely true. I just think that the people who have been turning out in record numbers at the mid terms know exactly where he stands on. Abortion rights are not going to be fooled by this at all, and I think the challenge the the thing that people are frustrated about in this interview
is him. Saying democrats want to abort babies after they're born, which is not a thing that ever happens in the world or acting like late term abortions, or something that Democrats want, or you know, just sort of a decisions made.
Choice when the reality you hear the specifics and its people are like. I had twins one of the twins
I, the other, wasn't bible, because her organs were growing outside of their body. The baby would have died, the minute they were born. That's why I had a late term. Abortion like those are that's the reason
lady of, why these exceptions exist, that people have to
better understand her bit. Oh and you, and yes, he's just we've got to make that case, because of course we do. I just think it's the easiest ad ever like he bragged about,
All of this has talked about women. Public punished is only the people who turned out in the mid terms are turned out, especially around this issue when it was on the ballot when it was when it was fresh, was in those states. Also, these were like more highly college educated people. I think those people are certainly not going to forget trumps position on this, but you have a general electric people who didn't vote in the mid term and
They are potentially pro choice and trumped up there and debate with by Nord. Ever since, as you know, what yeah we were too
to the states and now the states get to do what they will and stuff like that willis, I'm not going to do anything. Let's just put this behind us, I'm not going to do anything. It's like you can just see the bulletin space easier. This he is benefiting from the fact that, above that, these guys that that every other person in the field has taken an extreme, an absolutely radical and deeply unpopular position on abortion, and just by dint of that he was just like. If you were just paying attention, he is
trying to and seeming reasonable on the issue across his whole interview. He is trying to seem reasonable on a number of issues and because rawness aunt assign a six week ban because my pencil calling
a national ban. He gets too. He gets a sound like this. I think that the the part of it where he's dodging rightist like
Oh, you know we're gonna come together and make a great deal. The reality is that, if whatever them, if there is here
looking congress. They will pass a ban and trumpet sign at yes, that's
That is, the economic crisis have to keep saying over in Gaza.
He's like state, ban, federal ben. I don't know what right you won't. Even yet his position is talking about it. Like he's he's negotiating over up a price and look. The upside of this is he's doing this and he's trying to wriggle out of this position because he knew
how politically damaging it is and because he's acting like a general election candidate, he's not afraid of any of these people and clear and- and he believes probably correctly- that this will have no impact on the fact that he is winning amongst the furthest right, most religiously conservative republicans that will vote
in our view, transferring getting more criticism than usual from rightwing pundits anna's republican opponents. The descent is campaign just attacked him in a tweet
for a long list of what they see as gaffes, including denouncing the six week. Abortion ban promise
the compromise of democrats on abortion struggling to answer Megan kelly's questions about ass. She put it
the remain can become a woman and she asked him why he gave an award to doktor faulty right before he left office and citizen escape
also criticized him for sounding a bit senile during his saturday speech in dc liberalism. As you know,
Joe Biden, Andy radical left have
weapon eyes law enforcement to arrest their leading political opponents, leading by a lot, including obama, was teamwork. You take a look at obama and take a look at some.
things that he's done. This is the same thing, the country's very divided, and we did with obama.
We want an election that everyone said couldn't be one
we have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst precedent in the history of our country with collectively impair in no condition to lead and is now in charge of dealing with russia and possible nuclear war? We would we too quickly swirled more to think of the word,
I put that in an ad. Let's get it out, let's get out there so now he's off to enough, with the issues put that could be issues sick of these crazy, crazy old man. So old, he sounded like a guy who'd taken a painkiller and was feeling the effects. That's what it sounded like
hey when you analyse them definition, training for time when you're about to that you believe again, that's all you have to say you believe, when you're going to launch an attack in your opponent for being senile, you shouldn't you shouldn't talk about
what it did happen, I can we use him for brac obama, then confuse Hillary Clinton ass. I look
I know we're in the middle of a of our era of yet another forget about it,
Biden as an everyday gets we'll get older and it's a problem, but I just wanted to point out that nobody,
is doing a better job saying that binding isn't too old and donald trump, because in that
with walter, he says so vulgar says it is time for
generation. It has well, it's always done.
new generation. But you know some of the greatest world leaders have been in their eighties and then anywhere very near eighty, but by the way and bite is not too old. I dont think binds you old put that in the ad too fascinating
it's, like you say that just say it reveals. Speechwriters though I haven't, I do
air like doing some life since, given you vibes remarkably, was gonna fantastic. I want yet an innovation. I want you know the time has come. I would do that during the serbian. I believe I've been predicting eventually internet music for speeches for a long time. Sam. If you listen to this semi attacks. Second screen shot it I've been at this, the santos him
what I would call chemicals in. Just the first that I know that it has just figured ryan, that's my friend rise and pose a particular area that what are you use this?
You had a dodgy ready, some individual I'd authorities and afforded a minor courts. Words at the end and beautiful highlighting an innovation would be
during a state of the union, if an intermission between the domestic policies
and the foreign pilot, I think we're living in organic hacks when we come back I'll, take it or through all seven continents.
I got a real bar. Do we think any of these attacks have the potential to hurt trump in the primary, and I will say that for any of them to make any difference probably probably needs to be more than a tweet from a random staffer. If you're, on the run, if you run to santas,
But beyond that? Due to the message decides guide me? I did my taken this is they haven't so far? And I
maybe now you could argue else MID september. People are paying more attention that eventually calls, and I were waken up to the fact that don't trumpet and with them on the six week abortion down, but I think they all like trump and they think tat he will implement their gender.
I dunno yeah. I think they are also. I think these other publicans are paying for what what really is going to be an advantage. You know we were talking before the show that, like the Lauren boba clip not on fox right, donald trump, seeming to
If, if Joe Biden has a moment like that, it's oliver right wing media, those are not the moments they take out and I would just say like watching trump with welker. He was fucking on it. He was sharp. He was responsive. He like he just. He was like as strong look he's, obviously fuckin cuckoo. When you look at the you, look at that
transcripts of barely makes sense, but as of as like the sharp version of in the most sharp we ve seen it was there so and I have been noticing this. He was better he's, been he's been better and sharper with
mainstream journalists with Cavan collins
in town hall, and now with Chris walker, I meet the press, then he's been with.
his pals and the right wing media like he sounded like fuckin, not son, but tucker
karlsson interview and he sounded heaved a really bad with megan calicoes gives to fight them, yes to fight the main
media and Tucker's over there. We like, but again Epstein killed himself, now
I'm trying to pin you down here, the fuck you talking to- and I think he wasn't expecting megyn kelly to be as tough as she was with him. Yes, she did a pretty good job.
He made a couple oblique references to the debate, question that led to her eventual ouster from fox. Again, I feel like there is a sword hanging over the whole time. You know I. I do think that I I don't think that, like he's, not conservative
Af works really. Well. I I didn't notice, as I was prepping like it, it is bubbled up some of these attacks from the right that DE santis has been doing, have bubbled up more in the conservative media like Erick Erickson was attacking him for the
shit on on the answer on transit shoes with millions of healthy and you get a couple, you got look bad new yorkers
story about it and you know bob vander plots out there get pissed about the abortion staff.
The environment glittering? I hated trumpeter areas, yet he is realised its eyes. Dancing, Steve ds, he's like a right wing radio guy from my own, but like. I think that attacking trump as someone who's lost a step and does it know what the hell he's talking about is probably more effective and I'm
It could be too late, but, like I wonder why do santos and others didn't? You could start with the like? He was a great president and he
served us well and now we're moving on. You could start there and then, as the primary goes on, you can be like he's a little crazy yeah. You know like you, don't have to be. I just think that's more effective than going issue by issue, but just because republican voters don't really care about issues, then you, like your you, have you know at the santa staffer, taking a shot at him through a statement and then what is the santa says? Seemingly
best swing. News of the day is going after john futterman for four, not whereas I wrote I what was so. That's that
you're gonna be your eyes. Forty points behind. I tell you about a fuckin dress code in the senate mania. I think you'll be a settlement in the primary man. I think I'm gonna get a few points more than john federalism in the republic in primary, and I were what you don't get a question about was like he with out of his ways of preliminary press conferences like our talk about something it's on my mind. Leno here comes the donald trump here on the about. No, no, no, no. No, they are working letter. Is that you hear about this citizens hear about this with a fucking doing in defence of sheer sucker tuesday any sounds like such a god. We have to ask whether the hit as if in case, people in another snooze checks. Rumour change,
dress code in the senate, so that you don't have to wear soon tile the time which
veteran, has not been doing so that in its as this is freaked out, some people on the right, including megan, kelly and run down- and I can't think of anything that makes Rhonda santa seem more like the absolute worst versions of that,
I think you should be wearing at times when you come to my house spoken. It sets us when you workin, like tell happy like even were tied on there. I do
two scientists has tried an age hit. I care
which one of them is megyn kelly or crystal walker, was kind of like Rhonda Santos says you won't be as effective at age. Eighty and trump's response was well, he won't be effective. These are bad candidate and just like blasted right through it. So it's good so Joe
And let's talk about Joe Biden he's at the un general assembly this week, though, he's dealing with quite a few challenges on the domestic front right now, hum house republicans are trying to impeach him and shut down the government. His own justice department just indicted his son on gun charges and democrats are freaking out over bad polls that show real concern about his age and the economy, which is still being weighed down by inflation, gas prices and now, potentially, the united auto workers strike lesser with the strike I'll get into the details more with a representative slacken. But what do you guys think about the politics Biden and democrats are
Obviously supporting the workers. The white house is trying to broker a deal, but republicans are trying to drive a wedge between auto workers in the: u s, w leadership, car companies and by and by blaming the transition to electric vehicles for the strike, so any step all the way back, the? U s, w the big three. The bite administration are completely aligned right, like they want there to be a big electric car industry by unionized workers in america, begging in shops, making the next train generation. Of course, tesla is not unique.
To give a plant that makes the batteries not unionized. I got rid of my tesla because I'm a good person and rattled and I got gotta volvo, which was made in belgium and it's a fucking volvo,
was made an thereby addled matthews on
about you on musk, without
I guess and similar car that that is getting me bad replies and
a gradual noise.
also make it a noise. Those replies rattle in your head to be the so, but the pleasure reduction act incentivize a ton of investment in manufacturing and states. One criticism from the union's is that it didn't do not to incentivize that that production
be done by unionized workers. If I'd miss really know why we know. Why didn't include that, like everything else that went back over the last seven
as a german, I think it micromanagement light, but by then, but right before you a couple weeks gotta by measures entrusted to been trying to address this. But you know gm forward. They ve been doing this kind of joint ventures to build battery manufacturing facilities. Those facilities haven't been unionized, so so underneath this is a fight about it. Yes, for these workers at these plants right now, but also for the future of the industry- and you know it's not just about ford and gm and chrysler verses, these workers and negotiation, its them call
actively trying to make sure in the same way that the? U S, auto industry, face competition from javanese cars in the seventies and eighties and faced a crisis in two thousand eight its. Can they get to the other side of this and work together to make sure that you asked companies and union workers are the ones that make these cars? I must have
further back. Ok, ford, pepper, she's hank, for whose hands
It was I oh, I forgot that goes by hank. I just remember that he was an anti semite. Apparently you'd have a duty care enough. That's what you call them hank, I'm worried about the vote.
You, because you have the republicans trying to create a wedge issue and their narrative is being reinforced by the
you a w leadership and by the car companies or all kinds complaining about
in this in the eevee mandates in the future, and I also think a union workers are particularly susceptible to inflation and gas prices going up, because, if you're making an hourly wage and that's negotiated years ago, that's incredibly challenging and exit polls showed that four in ten voters in union households voted for trump at twenty twenty. So I think, there's probably some cultural issues where trump and republicans are pushing on an open door and will could find ways to split union voters from the democratic party. And so I
pope fit in it's really good, bye and came out in favour of the strikers. Obama did to basically every democrat much democrats in the picket line, but you know you ate up. He's got a hundred. Eighty thousand workers like it's this. Could this could swing swings it. I think, but democrats should say about dislike republican attempt to drive a wedge between them on electric vehicles. These people are full of shit. They dont want the inflation reduction act, incentives to suddenly go to then what these loans to go to union shops that are making electric vehicles. They just don't want electric vehicles- and you know jade events was
that he said, oh you, which importing parts from tesla parts from China and that leaves out us workers. They just don't want electric vehicles right but- and you know congressmen, slatkin brings us up in our interview to like the market, is moving towards electric vehicles, like that
people want, electric vehicles are going to be more and more and cheaper. So the question is: do we want to have them built in china overseas, or do we want to have them built in the united states and democrats want them built in united states by the minute
it wants the billiards, it's the! U s, w wants than building united states, and so does the big three automakers right into the question. Is
Can we make sure that incentives to build new battery plants, an electric vehicles, go to places where there are
our union's where their unions are allowed, because part of the problem is some of these loans are going to like Joe.
And the carolinas, where that their right to work states in their enough to be unions, and that's not Joe Biden, the Democrats fall. That's fucked
republicans fault because they don't want to have union protections in those states, and I think demagogues of to call out the like the bull show that it is like republicans, have never been on. The side of workers have never been in the sight of unions, especially unions,
break up units? So I think it is a real problem and it's a real challenge detail.
Some of these loans have gone to shops that aren't union shops and and workers, worried about that and are also worried that it takes your parts to make electric vehicles, so it may not be as much that might not be much work,
for that auto work. That zone really starts to long term and also these workers. You know if they have not benefited the way that the executives have these companies, since the obama administration, bailed out the big three automakers. Also, you know the broader context is that Biden has done some crime.
Important things for unions very recently, like the nl, our be under Biden, has taken all sorts of really important pro union steps are too complicated and hard to explain to. People may not know that, but I do think it's.
in the end where the union and these companies are lined as they together are in a competition with riven with
tesla with companies all around the world and they want to prove
these union shops can compete and they can make the best cars I can make them of the for the most like the most beautiful.
And well run and interesting and creative and innovative cars that people are excited by. They want to get to go side of his negotiate.
Instead they can do that, but they have to do that together and there's no pot. There's like you know we can. We can talk about what the politics mean and what Democrats should be saying and all the rest, but but underneath that is the substance and that that is the question that will determine whether or not the u s, succeeds and has unionized auto plants making the next generation cars where they can make a deal and then actually move forward and make the cars that can be tesla. That can beat riven that can be their international competitors you and by the way, to the point about having more work like also ensuring that these battery plants and these battery factories are unionized as well, because maybe the part there's fewer.
It's for cars, but like we're also building these batteries, and that should be like all this clean energy transition has to like put workers at the center of the transit and there's not a coincidence that, like you know, four, does a deal with, like I think at samsung and and gm does a deal with another south korean company, so that those joint ventures aren't covered by the collective bargaining agreements like they're. Not these things aren't happening by accident right.
alright, let's not shut down, which now seems even more likely than it did last week. I suppose a deal between Kevin Mccarthy, the house freedom caucus to pass it just a short term. Funding bill has apparently fallen apart in a lot of republican leader, seem to be in favour of a shut down, including rhonda santas. My pants and donald trump
our conventional wisdom is that a shutdown would be bad politics for republicans and good politics for Joe Biden. What do you guys think think it's probably right
I mean every headline is about republicans attacking Kevin Mccarthy. You know, like Biden, is sort of absent from this, that the Senate is kind of absent for this, at least for now. I think it's also helpful that donald trump says to welker like you, they don't get a good deal, shut the government down
you know that that I don't think people won't know where to lay the blame for this. I do worry. Yes, may be that you know. If you run a poll, it'll say that more people hold republicans responsible and they do for democrats, but in the end, the way press coverages the. U a w strike. It's later Biden's feet, a government shutdown gets later binds feed inflation gets laid abides feet. So it's you know a country in which
people have insecurity and fears and concerns about the economy, even as the the the numbers improve where there's all these sort of chaotic markers, I don't think ultimately we're downs to mine's benefit yeah. I think everyone who is going to follow this story will know that it's republicans fault, but most of the country won't follow the story and when they wake up one day and just see headlines that the government shut down or they can
I, like oof mep, did republicans. Do it to Democrats who probably are pagans, but I dunno Joe Biden fix it. You know so there so, but I think it's a good opportunity for Biden to show that he is fighting for war, the vast majority of americans who don't want to see cuts in education, healthcare, disaster relief, basic government services just because donald trump and a few fucking goons in the house want to impeach Joe Biden over nothing. I think that you know-
I think he ended if, if Biden ends up being the adult, who gets the government back open and also is out there fighting on behalf of people who don't want to see these cuts, I think that's it a good position for him to be in. He has just there have been fifteen government shutdown since nineteen ninety and like I I do wonder if people just
you just like, I asked you guys before we started hey, there was the longest government shutdown ever was in two thousand and nineteen. Why did it happen? None of us could remember why a free first, you said: do you remember what the the the shutdown and twenty two is about?
and I said I don't know- I think it was short you go. Action was the longest in history
Wow? I didn't remember your remit. Thirty five! Thirty eight! I didn't retain it. So the question is a good that these eighteen moderate republicans, who represent districts, the Joe Biden, one none of them like the politics of this- but you know by election,
to their voters. Remember I don't know anymore, I mean it's just the only hope mccarthy had here was to do what he did and the debt sailing get something out of the house.
By telling everyone in the house look nice, none of you agree on this. None of you are happy, but unless wiig send something over to the senate, we can't do anything here and we're going to have to cut a deal with Democrats
and let's just send something over to the center, or else we're going to get jammed by the senate, because they're going to pass
was his only hope and he thought tat. He had something
and now it does seem like now- this happened last time, of course, and then they cobbled something together
this time. The way that your Matt gates is in your trip,
boys, and all these people are talking, it sounds like they just want mccarthy to fail, because they want to try to go for a motion to vacate the him too. For me once situation guy, don't you know that was that that was the same deal with the debt ceiling, which was this idea that,
If Mccarthy could just past something out of the house, we Andy's majority with anything somehow that that would strengthen his hand. There is nothing that can pass the republican house with just republican votes that can pass
the senate. So we will ultimately, until you maybe like a maybe an
maybe in the world, Mccarthy help destroy, isn't there's never. So it says that there is nothing that can pass the Republican has period our dinner. I might ask the rockies and iron spending bad that we speak, but like
we don't live in the in part because of what mccarthy and his politics have.
We don't live in a world where the fact that a house republican bill was able to pass gives him leverage in working with the the senate know. If there's that, if they want to keep the government open, it can be a bipartisan vote. In the
It can be a bipartisan vote in the house, and the only way that's going to happen is, if is where democratic votes in the house. The only way that's going to happen is is if there is a negotiation which the house freedom caucus would never agree to yeah. I mean it just as an example what this
the short term funding. Velvets is robbing ever going to see the light of day when it did. Is it had like a pretty hefty caught to spending wave,
the levels that Biden and Mccarthy agreed on europe into her sent eight percent rising aboard a deal that already took place. They mate we made a deal with
living under the one, even if it was the agreement, even if it was just the eight per cent cut and nothing else, it would have passed
fro on their image
bill. Essentially that, because republicans wanted, which would read,
The wall and sort of do of the earth is the most stringent immigration thing.
cut asylum refugees Alex's up, but they they cobbled together without realising that the eight percent cut across the board would cut enforcement of immigration, which is decimate
forced me with the porter s genius because they dont there's no. Where for him to go, there's is nowhere for him to go over looks up, looks up her play but less
and there is no money for ukraine. No disaster relief funding like none of the above lie thing, but we know the senate once but etc. Publicans want his intervention.
yeah, but you know, listen my guy countrymen, dusty johnson, isn't working
say again our aim as an enemy. That's dusty, Johnson subtly go to my favorite. What about a have hope? You I'm worried just work and the peasant organised on one republican who is quite done with his party's antics is willard.
rami, whose announcement last week that he'll be retiring from the senate was accompanied by quite an x.
Interview with mackay coffins who spent hours with round me for a forthcoming biography should be next month, the atlantic
and an excerpt were rummy torches, his republican colleagues as phonemes, who privately share his disdain for donald trump, but refused to do.
Think about it specifically calling out miss
colonel mike pence, Josh, holly and jade vance, who he does not care for
does not like eighty ran with em there with your body.
rami sums up his feelings by telling mackay quote a very large portion of my party really doesn't believe in the constitution good for met. What else did you guys find noteworthy about this peace? So, first of all,
I think it is worth it is a very sad story, but a very sad mac
very lonely in his isolation from the trump supporting parts of the senate,
unlike the endless family and his family working. Why should he is he's here, but he talks about like mackay carbons as a one point, that is conversations often last four hours and parties. He thought romney liked the company, but it was really striking great, like this one, but
He says, authoritarianism is a gargoyle lurking over the cathedral, and it is this to you
Yes, we ve seen mitt romney, giving Josh holly the jolly the eyes from behind behind him during his speech.
Each after the insurrection and we ve seen him, give these statements, and it really was just interesting to see what it was actually like to live behind. The scenes with
people who are all telling him one after another. They don't believe any of the things they are saying and how much of a personal crisis created fur
from it. Romney who was, I think, genuinely trying
to sort out how to how to work in this environment.
It was interesting where he named names. There are a lot of like blind anecdotes about senators, saying things to him. That's told you something about our broken. The institution was
but he didn't. His jaded adds Josh holly and
Mcconnell and I thought that was interesting and telling like, for example,
honor, says to romney you're lucky you can say the things that we all think psych buddy, you represent kentucky. You are
the leader of your party? What why can't you say we think just cause you're pathetic yeah. I think I mean I think, Mcconnell believes that saying what he thinks would fall
actually the party in a divided party is always less successful, re enter, and so he can and in rami, so that they keep saying like well, it's just more. We can't let the Democrats take over right. That's the whole of the underlying the whole thing is the worst thing that could happen is not.
For terrorism or donald trump, or anything like that. It's democrats running the government. That is, I think, the most that was out. That was also said.
In which, as they dont believe, a word of what they're saying about an outward, what they believe every word there saying about Democrats. Actually I do that
I believe that, because one of the points Mr Connell makes two mitt romney is like they do. The green new deal,
some other to others that are just money will save us from,
planetary color, you could you imagine there twenty senators,
who do all the work in their eighty who are just along for the ride
we're out of her
good walked in the treadmill in his suit pants and low for a shared brought literature brown addict urban peddled so slowly on their excess banks. That, wrongly, could not but peak it. There isn't settings. Durban was a one,
but brown. I love that members, you dimension, that he goes after incredibly hard, his paw,
ryan. Oh yeah, ryan who's, not in office cause to whip votes against him on impeachment. What just for fun
in the fun. You know what I'm going, ok cause. I wanted to yell at everyone. I wanted to especially talked to dan about that who knew how he feels about Paul Ryan. That was wild to me, because I had I looked at the date of when that was coming. Like always was ryan
girl at the time of them, he's out of office. He's gone he's here too, as I don't like trump I'm standing up rob, but then is a constant. Oh, you know met you. Can't you gotta, you gotta quit trump on impeachment. You gotta do it he's with investment and in the other, the other thing, and that an Paul ryan makes the kind of political or how
it's it's worse than coward, worse than carrot, because you have nothing to be afraid of those coward when he's not even just being a terrible person, he is just being terrible like no one's coming. After is a private phone call. He couldn't tell the truth about private phone calls ducks, but you know the argument. The keys you may direct you there's a moment where he's with his staff and he's telling his staff he is going to vote for impeachment, and the some of the staff are like beside themselves because it's like they're polit
what careers are going to be affected and then a senator he's a senator, a member of leadership and his while you're one of your anonymized ones. As that he was leaning to vote to convict and the others urgent reconsider. You can't do that. Romney recalled someone saying think of your personal safety. Think of your children. The center eventually decided that they were right. That has shunned the fact that you know and that's a theme through the piece, because when I talk about january sixth and romney texts Mcconnell and is like hey,
and I just like to angus king- and he said that there's like real concerns about security on january sixth and I'm gettin threats and also people are threatening till I go to your house
smudge mobile button, Mcconnell, never response you having been a big just may a big texter but
but like romney's as he has submitted the green belt around our livestock in a green tax treatment, mokanna gets hundred percent
and he's on t nine freezing thirty seconds at a time it's hard to type when you freeze your holy shit like tina inning each other during the ai hearing, I can't believe we have recognized and regulated big tech tricks,
Jim result of lip loan. This, though the republican majority leader is frozen, solid, but the vote but he's rami
about being driven with secure,
behind them and he's worrying. What's going to happen, if someone takes a shot at him with a car behind, him won't really help, and I we've we've really kind of have like gone to the point where the former republican nominee for president is saying that the threat of violence, that the fear that republicans will do. Violence against republican politicians is so great that it is changing the way people vote in congress. Romney says you spent five thousand dollars a day on security a day no one can afford. Also Hussein has to tell me
Like every time I read another account of january six. I become radicalized all over again of edges in my anger about that day and like that image of when Josh hawley is objecting to and trying to overturn the election after after january, six,
weapons and then there's mitt romney. In the background like giving him the eyes, you realize how infuriated he must be because when he talks about what they all went through, how they were all scared for their lives, how they like that they were at the doors there were weapons or else comes up,
and then romney's like well. It's all done now. We're gonna get back in there and they're gonna drop their objections and we're gonna do you know make job I
president augury fine, and then they go up there and they all still fucking job. He couldn't believe he wrote a speech. Neither do I won't need this. Certainly, I won't need this now and the other does the reader.
again. Another account of the like offers an account of the insurrection trump to welter made up something about how nancy.
Those you rejected need, blames early and aims, and they, of course, there has been no different accounts about why there wasn't more security, but, like you realize like how terrifying wasn't part, because nobody-
This can happen of unexpected it. There was a lot of an additive is one moment where he's in in the
elevator and someone said
the centres on where to go, and we
The senators and we don't know
yeah. The security guards were like I dunno, where you go yeah and yeah. The ai is also just like mitt romney, there's a part where he quotes tennyson,
he says, this madness has come on us for our sins. A beautiful house sentimental, beautiful quote the days of centres for the republican party, quoting tennyson, are at an end and young. Well, he also those of is the
where he had flirted with an independent run for president just so he could get on the debate stage with trump and and go after him, which I'm sure is the fantasy of a lot of politicians. Yeah to do that, but then some of them named Donald trump, pointing like this in the shower, but but then he
say that he has talked to Joe mansion about what a mistake it would be to run on a no labels tickets. So
doing all the right things. Mitt romney do another thing about starting a. He said: don't don't run for president, let's start a party which is right that pushes one of the
if the parties yeah, I noticed that Joe Biden's former chief of staff RON Klain tweeted, like you, know something complementary about mitt romney and this interview. But that said, there is one more thing you can do, which is get
Joe Biden and you haven't enron, has again run. Have employment lunch you know, that's and I get it and they get that's hard from it running because, like you know,
obama ran against mitt romney and twenty twelve, and there was a big, an honest debate over the size and role of government mitt romney.
in a very small government, and we do not right- and I think that, like that debt debate is real
So I think for mitt romney like evolving to the point where he's like all my policy considerations are secondary to this threat from authoritarianism is coming within. My own party, like I think that you know that takes a that. It takes some effort, but very few of the republican politicians, except for like Liz Cheney and a couple others have made that journey. Well, you know I will say this is I really appreciate this version of mitt romney
But I do think that one of the things he is grappling with when he sees all these other politicians is the way he himself also should also suit, subsumed his own principles for the purpose of elected
did, the event donald trump and, if he and if he can find a way to evolve from being pro choice to pro life, he can
the way to evolve from being a republican member, the senate to a person who is endorsing Joe Biden to save the country. He clearly loves and believes is threatened by by Donald.
he can do it yeah, but look ron's tweet as right, but also the smart thing to do if you're going to make that endorsement is to do it like in late october. Yes uyghur. You know magnus okay, before we go to break too quick housekeeping notes. The second republican presidential debate is coming up on Wednesday september.

when we come back. I talk more about the uk. W strike with michigan representative alyssa slacken.
Last week, the united autoworkers initiated a strike against all three major automakers in the united states here to discuss this historic strike, the political implications and her race for the: u S, senate, representative, illicit slack and welcome to the pot gas thanks for her,
with me. So you joined the? U a w picket line at a ford plant in wayne michigan last week. What was the mood like that? The workers you met seem like they are ready to strike for as long as it takes, or did you get the sense that they're ready and willing
to give a bit to get a deal now, I think the energy was really good. I mean morale was good. They were it when I was there on the very first day and people you know had been moving
words this and in I think the energy
positive, look, people
they are signing up for strike benefits, so they are obviously watching their own pocketbooks in an idle
Anyone in Michigan wants a really long, prolong strike. No matter who you are by
Energy was good and dumb. It was interesting. I met a couple of people who had had parents,
who were you a w workers at that same plant the last time it struck that specific plant struck in the eighties and
You know just trying of talking about you know being being ready,
to do what they needed to do to make sure they got a good deal. So the ford ceo said
the union's demands for a forty six per cent pay increase and a four day work week would bankrupt the company, the basic automate
Her argument is you: labour costs are already high
Then, foreign automakers, like toyota and tesla, don't have unions, and you know that
Four to twenty one percent pay increase that which the? U aid w, has rejected. What's the best counter to the argument from ford and other automakers, in your opinion,
well I mean I think, the the the strongest statement about these negotiations is that the die was cast months ago right. It's the context for these negotiations. The context is, you have a bunch of people
gave up things in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine, because we were in recession and michigan in a real recession, where we
now fast forward, making record profits at those same companies I mean. That's, that's just fact
and these companies are also getting help in setting up.
things like electric vehicle battery plants right. So against that context you have workers were saying hey
We gave up stuff before now, you're doing really really well. We want to do better and we want more money in our pockets
to me, is like the greatest statement
about where we are in these negotiations, I'm not in the negotiation, so I dont know the back and forth its happening on an hour to hour basis. I know
Would that they're they're looking for a better deal than what they have, and I don't think that's I don't think that's a crazy thing to ask for
politico ran a story yesterday. That said, ah, the g o p sees the. U a w walk out as a potential lifeline in michigan and talks about how republicans are trying to win over right.
In file union members and non union working class voters by blaming the strike on the democratic parties, climate policies, Donald trump, has reportedly planning a trip to the same ford plant that you just visited and said that the union should prioritize the repeal of Biden policies that accelerate the transition to elect
vehicles! You ve done this attack yourself from republicans. Doesn't worry you at all like? Do you hear these concerns about electric vehicles from autoworkers in your state
so you know, be I'll, be honest, like most of the people that I talk to and I of course represented an electric vehicle plan.
the shabby bolt was made in my district before
redrawn. We have an electric vehicle battery factory. Coming to my current district in delta, township lancing
The next generation of vehicles is going to be made right and right now, like
so like china are ahead of us. So if we're gonna make them
vehicle somewhere in the world. I would always rather make them like in team
erica then team, china, and so there is a second order, question that
after that. How do we make sure people in those facilities are
making a living wage only have to work? You know why
job in order, says to sustain themselves. They should be able to have a good middle class life. But if the question is who should make those vehicles team america should,
those so every time they they say that I mean I just say: would you rather be china like? What is your alternative here now? There is a very good congress.
Asian to have about making sure we push the car companies to give people a fair shot at life in those in those facilities
I have a huge interest in that we gotta get that right, and certainly
The bipartisan group of us that you know the signed on
the chips act that cared about incentivize american manufacturing. We have a huge incentive to making sure they get that right, but the first order
business is make it in america and not in china, so you don't think that this
in Republicans maternity, this for a long time to pit you know, labour against climate activists,
You don't think that's really gonna work. Well, look I mean there.
there certainly there but they're trying. But I don't think you can.
I think they have this fundamental conundrum that they're gonna have to deal with on the republican side, which is you got a lot of people
including a lot of senior
in michigan republicans who have for twenty years voted.
against anything related to labor, but now because of
donald trump. There suddenly populists, and now they care about the working man. When you ve got
Twenty aurette record of voting against right to work and prevailing wage in all of these things. It is pretty
to turn around and be MR union, and that is the needle they're trying to thread, and you know
all I know is that when I was out on friday, no one saw him out,
no it's hanging on by noah's hang their politics there talking about being able to have more money in our pockets of they can do well in their king
can do better? It's really not as it
me as like desperately political, as everyone would like it to be made out to be
so near times interviewed a few dozen striking workers and found that many who voted for the president said quote in full
and had so under cut their wages that they felt pushed out of the middle class. Laying the blame with Mr Biden. How do you persuade those workers to vote for democrats
you and Joe Biden next year, so you know, I think the
There is no doubt about it right people, because of inflation. Bait misses the point. They have more with less money in there.
it's more of a desire to make more money. That's that is sort of a fact of life and all
can do, is try to demonstrate that we care about.
core american value of the middle class, like that to me
is the sun and the moon of american. Frankly, national security is how do you have a
strong middle class and
dangerous, it is in a multi racial multi, ethnic experiment to have only regionally poor, and I think that if you just put on merit,
the policies of one party over the other. It is very clear which one supports a middle class life and
all we can do is is demonstrate that and but we also cannot shy away from the fact that inflation is a real thing,
and while we hope it's getting better, it's not better. Yet, for many many people and
you try and shy away from that and say well, but jobs are growing in others that may be true, but to the people I represent
have less money in their pockets. That's all
a whole lot of reasons for that, but you can't shy away from that yeah Biden's, also, of course,
dealing with concerns about of age, democratic pundits and strategy, sir, and in full freak out mode.
You know we're also seeing it from voters in in poll after poll,
You say to a Biden voter in Michigan whose worried
whether the president's too old to serve a second term. You know look I think I have said repeatedly that,
not just one person. You look at a lot of the candidates in looking for the way,
how's the senate and the house will. It is definitely
You know as someone who is kind of like a jack sir, it is definitely feels
We need a new generation across the board and you can feel that interest the present.
Is running for a second term. There is nothing more natural than a president running for a second term. That's typically how we do it in this country and
All I can say is that you know is: he is
the president, a united states. His policies have helped a place like michigan, and so do you know it?
to me it's only natural that he runs and I support that. But do I think we,
the new generation across the board rate? Mr trump is well not a spring chicken. You know
folks in the Senate o my lord rate in the house, all my lord, so that's! I think I can
feel that generational push across the board missed.
The place where Democrats have done quite well, since Hillary Clinton barely lost the state and twenty. Sixteen though people are you in
Whittemore and and Debbie know who you're running to replace in the Senate have all
by much larger.
margins that national democrats look like Biden or
hilary narrowly lost. What do you think me
can Democrats can teach national democrats about winning states like yours well
I think that in Michigan I mean I'm someone who likes math and if you're gonna be successful in the state of Michigan, you need to
Your stand, math and math means that we are a state where independent and swing voters
usually decide our elections re. That's where swing state for a reason,
So I think it's important to understand that, while you always want to turn out the basin be in touch with the base that it is about appealing to a broad group of people which, if you ve, been elected in Michigan, that typically you know you demonstrated,
but I think it's also about
if I can be honest getting into areas and going to places where Democrats have not shown up in forty years. Not writing.
If rural areas I represent a rural districts, not right
off those areas where you know people may
be able to be out marching in the streets, but they want a better world and their willing to vote. That way.
You know I always some people that, frankly, you know there are a lot of democrats and progressively minded people in very conservative areas,
We risk a hell of a lot more to be done.
At that, anyone in new york, city or l rain, and some of them
Tell their husbands, how they vote. They don't tell their kids and I want them to be a part of the fair,
We and in michigan, that is part of the family ray and
I just think that that is a lesson that could be learned in other parts of the of the country. We want to be an open, welcoming party of reasonable people in that region.
Works was the number one issue your hearing about on the campaign trail and what will be your number one priority if you get to the senate.
number. One issue I'm hearing about generally is like people either have no hope of getting in the middle class or they fallen out of the middle class and they want back in, and so it's literally
table economics. How do I have a one job, a good job, with benefits that helps me save every month and then
why bring down the insane costs of health care, prescription, drugs, housing, child care and post secondary, educate
somewhere in that zone is ninety percent of what people raise with me and then Ben
where's the the the issues of make
more things in america, there is the issue of like protecting our key
from the things that are truly harming them like gun violence, and I know the
Jesus of despair, mental health issues and opiate addiction and then protect
our rights and democracy, but, first and foremost, is like.
How do we as a nation grapple with the fact that after world war, two, we did such a good job of building the strong middle class? And now people are falling out of it or have no hope of getting enzo
that's what I want to work on as it frankly, I'm a national security person. You know that yeah, but I think this is the national security issue of our era. Cause we don't get it right at home. What can we do abroad? Representative, Alyssa, fucking thing
So much for our common pod, save america and now good luck on the trail. Thanks very much thanks for having
if the
Ok
generally, we cannot end the show without talking about Lauren barber. We covered the story last week on.
subscription show terminally on mine, which you can sign up for a cricket, dot com, slash friends, but there have been quite a few developments since then. To recap: bogart and her boyfriend attended a performance of beetle juice them.
Physical at the buell theatre in denver colorado, where we once did alive taping of this very podcast lovely to hear the couple was asked to do
if the show after complaints that they were being rowdy taking pictures and vaping, despite being asked not to vape by a pregnant woman in front of them, a bogart's campaign initially denied the vaping and dismissed the criticism. Then
security. Camera footage of the incident showed the couple not only vaping but groping each other, because there's,
horny or than a musical production of beetle juice. This led to a full apology from bobo for quote
falling short of my values and the gaping lie she apologized for which she attributed to either the coat?
excitement of seeing a much anticipated production or the net
relax, anxiety of being in a new environment. She then x,
ended on these thoughts during
their view with one american news, as one does: what's the top story loring, but we're getting kicked out of it,
the leader in bergamo colorado want the media yours what's with the media, does so when going on. I was a little too eccentric. Island
I'm very known for having a animated.
Personality on maybe overtly enemy. Routers than out I was laughing. I was singing having a fantastic time. She was fantastic. Does what so bad, but a little vapouringly groping beetle juice
It's a musical, not a concert. I'll say it again: you don't lie. You can have a great time at a musical. You sit still and quietly, because there are human beings on the stage playing characters. There is a
there's somebody I follow on Tik tok, because he does an incredible impression of patio upon. That's why I've arm he sings as part of upon I didn't know this, but he had actually been cast. This is big break in
traveling production of beetle jews and then he said I remember that night. I didn't actually know some got kicked out, but remember that somebody was doing a lot of flash photography.
It is disturbing that performance you would have been a before ash photography, that's insane! It's too far from the stage. What work you're right through threats are useless. It just
get a bright, shouted the people. How do you does he say that them?
he's a as is horny is easy
nothing makes the performers of beetle juice, the musical in and of itself, something that exists as a testament to the fact that we are a nation in decline. Nothing makes them more excited as farmers than to
Oh, that people have full on fuckin donors during during their before
and have that area, songs that we all know and love and don't need to say what they are, because we all, of course, love beetle.
The musical. A beautiful adaptation of an important piece of ip, but ya know that that's what he said.
Is anyone else. Where did out that the theatre has like really good night.
in cameras, didn't know that when we, when we did our show there, that's for sure I tell you, I don't know. No one of the biosphere told us there be nitrogen kippur now granted
We didn't get a lot of groping yeah, not as much as not nearly as much as I would have hoped, but the no one in the audience at either because they're in a public fucking event, they did it with. We did it, they did it with a discretion, but with the in between the flash photography and the vaping yeah. Just we're going to keep it quiet over here is our flash photography than yelling
Rather I don't say that that is a lesson for surviving when Lauren bogart says that she was a headings I'd even you place, which really means is I'd. Another was tape. I did.
Ok, but I think, as a rule, if you are going to go to a musical production that welcomes children tenant up, you can either do flash photography or over the shirt,
hoping it yeah. I would prefer neither, but you can't you both, because it draws attention to the over the
groping. I yet to me the odp h, J is not as bad as saying do. You know who I am when confronted? Oh, I just want to say the axe themselves like I don't.
I don't give a shit, I'm just saying that seem to do. You know who I am to some about. The word is yahoo out alive. With those only approved, I do not
we view publicly getting it
well, look at the theater during a musical where children are present either. You should restrain yourselves someone or someone from the public indecency law in colorado that she she potentially violated, because it does include groping in public as part of the public and you're not supposed to do that at the very least quite rude as yeah. I just think that the the existence of the the night vision camera is weird makes me on comfort.
