James Carville: A Trump Administration Vs. A DeSantis Administration
"But carville made the crack, you know, that everything's going well until you get hit in the mouth. You can have a plan until you get hit in the mouth. And basically, Trump is like iron Mike. We've got the carville cut somewhere, guys. Let's play Jim carville. Here's serpent head on TV show somewhere. I don't even know where. I'm sure it was MSNBC or CNN. Here's James carville talking about desantis who has been pretty low key about Donald Trump until recently, and then he's kind of stepped up his criticisms in at least laying out the differences between what a Trump administration would look like versus a desantis administration. Since desantis is getting a little more pointed in his critique of president Trump, that led carville to say this. You know, disaster proves that wisdom of Mike Tyson, everybody got a plan to hit him in the mouth. That guy, he doesn't know whether to wind his rear scratches watch. And he tried to play in the league that he can't play yet. And that's pretty evident. I'm being confused guy and Trump hit him in the mouth and he lost his plan. He just went totally off key. So my hats off to our mic. My hats off to, well, look at that. James carville praising Donald Trump.

Biden's Incredible Vanishing Campaign Manager With Raheem Kassam
"I really was moved by your tweet here. So I'm going to name a list. I'm going to go through a list of names and then let you riff. Pat caddell, Lee atwater, James carville, Carl rove, David pluff, David axelrod, Steve Bannon. All those people in what do they have in common? They were, in some ways, the architects, the conductors of successful presidential campaigns that were then able to write books and go on tour and be considered to be thought leaders. You made a very interesting observation, which is Joe Biden winning in 2020, being implemented has no such people that take claim for him becoming president. That's super bizarre. I think back to audacity to win and David axelrod, in fact, it's the exact opposite. They're almost repelled by his 2020 candidacy. What's going on here? Yeah, that's what I'd like to know. I think a series of questions need to be answered here, which is, you know, the first one is who ran Joe Biden's campaign. I mean, it seems to me like that would be the obvious question for most people who still have suspicions about what actually took place between all of the institutions apparatus and shenanigans in 2020s who ran the campaign. Because nobody seems to be putting their hand up and owning that, which is very strange when you think about it. It's extremely strange when you think about the fact that we're sold this idea that Joe Biden won the most number of votes of any U.S. president ever in history and it was the most amazing victory, even though he sat in a basement and spoke to crowds as large as 8 throughout the entire campaign. So who ran the campaign?

Biden Visits the DC Homeless Shelter Formerly Known as Union Station
"Biden, in the homeless encampment, formerly known as union station, made his closing argument that is very academic, and I have to tell you, this is a very bizarre election strategy by these consultants. And it goes to show how isolated from reality that they are. A good rule from politics. And, you know, James carville said this, and what he was saying was actually not what is usually interpreted. He said, it's just the economy stupid. That's not totally true, but let's say the essence of that is true. What he meant is that it's just issues people can touch and that can relate to stupid. That's what carville was saying and he was completely right by saying it. Basically, you can not win elections on far off esoteric abstract concepts. So if you remember, Bill Clinton versus George H. W. Bush versus Ross Perot. George H. W. Bush, he went into the debate and talked about reforming social security and all these kind of wonky things and Bill Clinton went in and he said, I feel your pain. Directly understanding how people are suffering, understanding how people are undergoing financial pressures. The esoteric argument almost always loses in. Debates, almost always loses in political conflict. Donald Trump is the best at this. Donald Trump back in 2016, especially he made the otherwise abstract very personal. He talked about crime. He talked about drugs. You talked about wages. He talked about jobs, talked about manufacturing plants. Talk about winning. Where Hillary Clinton was very abstract and in the clouds. Democrats, because they are the hyper elitist party, are acting much more like George H. W. Bush in the early 1990s than Bill Clinton did. You see the

James Carville: Democrats Are Silly, Republicans Are Evil
"This is James carville. He says dams are just silly, but Republicans are evil. So I want you to listen to James carville and then I'm going to go take you back again to the evil Hillary Clinton. All right, here's James carville. Audio clip number 6 four 5 four Eric. When they say drink, we have our crazies, but look, you have your crazies, you know. What pronoun you have of veganism or something? The problem is, is people who believe in that are just silly. All right? People that believe that the election was stolen and have a right to storm the capitol, which is a substantial number. People in the Republican Party are evil. Our people are kind of silly. There are people actually eat racism is evil. All right, misogyny is evil. I'm sorry. A pronoun is, to me, is okay, fine. I mean, it's kind of like, you know, if you want to be a vegan, I don't care, but you want to eat. All right? But that's not, it's not the same thing. All right? It's just not. It can get the media. It is addicted to both sides of our you have your craziness and they have their craziness, what the hell is the difference a lot?

"To fund the government. Janie, you noted, you're still skeptical that Democrats have any hope of holding the house even if they pass this legislation. So it is passing this bill going to do anything. How does it move the needle? You know, I am a skeptic that they will take the house, although I will tell you, I was just listening to somebody like James carville, for instance, who is saying, you know, all these Democrats who are saying it's hopeless, they're still a shot. Now I don't know if he's just saying that to spark people to the polls, but you know, I am still skeptic, but I do think this bill is critically important. If you just look at what they're talking about, the reduction of emissions close to what the president wanted by 2030. You know, the ability to cap out of pocket prescription drugs, Medicare negotiating drug prices. The corporate minimum tax, those are big, big deals. And so I do think it moves the needle. And again, I agree with Rick they've got a focus on what people care about. The president has to focus on inflation, the gas numbers are good for him. He's got to keep focusing on it and Democrats have to go home and sell what they've done, which is shocking to many of us. They've made Washington work, and that should be their message, and they should also say, look at the extremist, the Republicans are putting that are winning these primaries. Let's not go back to crazy town. Let's keep the normalcy that we have. That's their shot, and it's a long shot, but it's something they can run on. I mean, how key is it for them to make sure that they've got their messaging down on this? I'm thinking particularly because a lot of these provisions are not going to go into effect for a while. It's not like, you know, we're going to wake up the day after this is passed and suddenly prescription drug prices are lower. How do Democrats really make sure that everyone knows what they're doing in D.C.? Yeah, that's always the difficulty because these will weigh them slowly, certainly not what 89 days to the midterms we're not going to see them wave in before then, but I think they've got to be clear on what they've done and the fact that they shocked all of us, including everybody in the press that they were able to do this and it was things these are things that are incredibly popular to people across the board, not just to Democrats. So if they can stick with that message of making Washington work and living up to their promises, it's a good day for the Democrats and an otherwise what had seemed to be a fairly bleak midterm year for them. So we've talked a little bit about the house. We've talked a little bit about the midterms. We've talked a little bit about Trump. Let's bring them all together here. Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the most interesting House primary of this entire election cycle. Maybe even the most interesting primary. That said, it's not even going to be close. She's very far behind in the polls right now, but she is out with the new ad making her final pitch to voters and we've got a clip of it here. America

"Different answers. Before we go there, you both know that AJC is fiercely bipartisan. And it's not a legal footnote for us. It's a fundamental tenant of how we do our advocacy. We are driving towards the center because that's where we know change happens. That without compromise consensus, you can't move forward. And we believe that bipartisanship, nonpartisanship, is how we maintain our democracy. So it's with sort of an enthusiastic voyeurism that I now ask you. To name some names, because politics is dynamic and definitions are fluid. So I think we need to know who do we mean when we say the extremists and who do we mean when we say moderates? So Leslie, I'd like to start with you. And if you could maybe talk about the Democrats, talk about that. Yeah, talk about the Democrats. Yes. Yes. Tell us, okay, in the Democratic Party. Who are the extremists and who are the moderate? We talk about the squad, the AOC, we have talked about, which is very familiar with this group, but I lead with AOC because you had a group of young progressive women who came into Congress elected and on the winds of that really came in not looking for compromise, but looking for ways to change a system they feel is fundamentally broken. And I was saying, let me lead with the Democrats, but I wanted to lead with the big name on the right. The big names on the right. We all still are talking about former president Donald Trump. Marjorie Taylor Greene were continuing to talk about desantis and Florida and increasingly Texas governors, Greg Abbott. What's interesting about the voices on the right and I know we'll get to the congressional side is increasingly they are the governors. Republicans hold a significant number of state houses through the last election, which allowed them to have a lot of redistricting to redraw the lines to get a lot more Republican favorable seats. And a lot of that is so that they can get it checked off by the governors because they spend a tremendous amount of time lining up governors to support those efforts. So this idea of who the names are, I think you're going to start to see these governors and hearing these names jockeying as we move toward 2024. Who are the moderates? People would say Liz Cheney is part of that iconic establishment Republican going back to her father's age and reconciliation. If you even think about her father, though, and I'm sure James has got a lot to say about her father, he was not considered somebody who was a good representative of the Republican Party for a lot of different reasons. The establishment Republicans who we traditionally feel are the ones who come to the table, Mitch McConnell, or any of our Kevin McCarthy that we talk about in leadership. People are very critical now of Kevin McCarthy as someone who can't navigate either side if he moves toward compromised. He's seen as somebody who does not listening to his populist very tilted conservative movement. If he's trying to work in any way with Pelosi that he sees his establishment and people are trying to run a primary against him. So they're basically the claws are out for individuals who are trying to bridge that, but I do think as we move in the conversation, there's some really good positives coming from that. Thank you, James. You can also thank you. Very insightful. I'm glad to be back here, I was here some years ago, and of course I worked in Israel in the late 90s and came back and mayhew Brock's campaign Larry King asked me on television and said, what advice did you give Barack in the last three days of the campaign? And I said, well, I think we need to concentrate on that all important Jewish vote. But thank you. So set up is just more Republican friends said, James, look, we got our crisis. I'll concede that. But you got to admit that you got crazy too. I mean, we both got crazy, right? Let's dive just slightly deeper into that. So let's assume you have a nice nephew, come down and guess what? I just got a job is a research assistant in AOC's office. Your reaction would probably be similar to mine. Well, you're going to meet some interesting people. They're a good experience. You're going to see some things that your uncle would disagree with, but it's a good opportunity for you. If on the other hand, your niche or your nephew comes and says, I got a job in more detail of grains office a call palladino's office. You go to the Empire State Building jump. You like this over. All right? One is a kind of silly, ungrounded phase that people go through. The other is just ranked evil. You've got to understand the difference. And people come to me and said, well, James, how does it feel to be a moderate Democrat? I said, I have no idea. I've never done a modern Democrat. I've always been a Liberal Democrat. But I'm not nuts. There's a difference. All right? But there's something that I was just talking about. There's a piece you have to read this. And it's a publication called the intercept. Just so you know the intercept is kind of one of the most influential publications on the American left. And when you finish reading it, and it's wrong, your head will explode. Because all they do is fight with each other. Have you ever seen the squad run against a Republican? No. It's Joe Crowley in Eliot engel or everything that's wrong with America. It's not really Mitch McConnell or Newt Gingrich. And I just think there are misguided parties and conclude with this. Anybody that tries to convince you that you can bring about social change in fundamental change in America without political power is out of their minds. Just understand that achieve anything any major goal that you want or you think is important in this country achieve it mostly through political power. You're going to just see how much is going to be achieved to political power when this much Supreme Court decisions come down. It will be a good lesson in who runs this country. Before we move on, you have any of our bottles? Anything you might or if I would have started with evil. I would have gone with evil. Interesting part about that. And a lot of it, I agree with James. I'm going to be a contrarian a few other things, but I do agree on how extreme it is, but the part people don't talk about is how repeatedly there are large groups of voters that support these candidates, and they keep winning over and over again. And people say, oh, we're going to target them and, oh, they're the extreme. You know, at first it was like one person or two people could fit into phone booth. I date myself by talking about what a phone booth is. I remember with that. They moved the last one away. I was like, goodbye. But I could fit to folk with and now the gaggle is slightly larger in terms of the number of people that are getting persuaded by a select few voices, but to James point, the impact that they're having legislatively is still incredibly small. If anything, it's a distraction more than actually implementing true policy. Leslie, I'm going to stay with you because this is a part of what you do on the day to day, right? You are a consultant. You advise people in their digital content. When you're advising a candidate, is it in their best interest to be crazy on social media to get attention? Please be crazy. That'll make our job so much easier. But well, some of them are trying to get through the fray. We went from a 24 hour news cycle to the two to four second tweet cycle. Strange thing about this, James and I were talking about this over ten years ago. Just how fast everything moved around. You think Barack Obama's campaign in the last month of the campaign, even the last weeks of the campaign, they were using YouTube for the first time and creating ads targeting very specific individuals by every hour. There was a new ad coming up. Now you had situation with Cambridge Analytica in the last election cycle where people were really micro targeting based on your behaviors, your patterns, your personal data. Now the layer and the frightening layer on top of that is AI that's going to fundamentally work even faster at targeting a micro targeting. So there's a technology aspect in terms of how strategist and some of these entities are looking at delivering exactly the message that's going to push attitude and attention to behavior and push you right over the cliff. One way or the other. That is the frightening part of this. When it comes to candidates, candidates are trying to do the same thing they've been trying to do forever. Is get some attention when they don't have any money. And be boisterous and powerful. And some of it does not sound logical, a lot of times. And we try to rein it in. But they are topping. I'd say Texas is a good example of that. They are Tapping into a lot of frustration. So just think of it like Avatar, you know, when you plug in to the big tree, they're Tapping. Into this ongoing frustration that we call the populist movement that is in the country right now, it tends to lean more conservative. And they want action. And those are the candidates who are being rewarded. James Leslie's been talking a lot about populism. What's happening on the left? Let's expand this. That's a big debate in a Democratic Party. And that people that believe that writing dictionaries and language in certain progressive unquote agenda should be at the forefront. And then there's a group which I decidedly consider myself an actual populist and it was best articulated by a young democratic strategist named David shore. And it basically says that we should take popular issues and present those Republican run owner, which I've always thought was a pretty good idea. As opposed to taking unpopular issues to the public and running on them, and populism is a little bit different, you know, it started as a more agrarian movement and it was anti bank and it didn't like the gold standard and wanted free credit. The popular knowledge become very cultural. I mean, cultures are just taking it over. It's much more cultural than it is economic. They'll play homage to they don't like corporate America. But it's more that coastal people are forced their culture on us and we resist the culture that they do. And when you talk about social media, you talk about TikTok of whatever idiot. That's 20 1% of the country. That's mostly educated, white, coastal people. And most people feel not engaged. And so the big thing that Democrat strategy is, in order to get young people, we got to do something about student loan forgiveness. All right? Take the number of people from 18 to 34 on student loans and take the people 18 to 34 that are hourly workers who earn a minimum wage. You know which one is bigger. Hourly workers earning a minimum wage. The past a child tax credit when Biden first came into office. It reduced child poverty by 40%. Yes, it reduced child poverty that the idea that we should all be offended that a child in this country could possibly go to bed cold or hungry is offensive to everyone. That expired. A prominent democratic congressman said he got a hundred calls about student loans and never got a single call about the child tax care credit. In the danger of being a coastal educated party is that you've never been there or you forget about who really votes and lives in this country. And it's very important that political strategist politicians, policymakers, journalists, understand that. If you just, if all you do is talk to people like you and I think like you, you're just going to continue there's no chance that you can grow or understand anything more. And that is, in my view, a large part of the problem that Democrats to the center left, but people like, you know, I have most of the policy goals that the more progressive part of the party has, some are disagree, for the most part, kind of what the same thing. I want to have active federal government that dulls the harsher edges of capitalism that has support for education has income support, has retirement security, does something about the huge issue of climate, of which living in south Louisiana is going to destroy us does something about all of the other issues that we have, but we have to go about it in a way that brings people in, not puts people off. As simple as that sound, as simple as that sounds, it's a real problem on the American left. I would just say that sounds like a very good conservative Democrat platform. But again, I'm not a conservative. I'm actually a liberal, okay? But I believe that if you want to talk to someone and convince them, you speak to them in their language. If you want your language in the way that you communicate, and your presentation is really critical when you're trying to convince people that your way of governing the country is better than the other way. But if you want to turn somebody off, use coded words that just elite educated people use, and that will confirm every suspicion that they have about you. And this party is run too much about a faculty lounge at Columbia and not enough by the people who are out there voting and living in it. That's my general view. Somebody else I would follow in Texas, Tony Gonzales, Texas 23. That's an area that of my former member Carr said, I worked for Henry bonilla for years and will hurt and have been in that. It's a very critical area that is outside of San Antonio, Texas, and it includes all the way to El Paso, so about 700 miles of U.S. Mexico border. An area that was traditionally Hispanic, like overwhelmingly, and some of these communities in the Rio Grande valley. That's what we're going to be hearing a lot about this election cycle. It's this whole Rio Grande valley area, New York Times, is sending reporters down to South Texas to understand why on earth would Hispanic Hispanic voters who were traditionally they are registered Democrats vote for these Republican candidates. And there's three seats down there that could flip for latinas. It would be the first ever Hispanic women Republicans or Hispanic women. Let's just put it that way. Elected to Congress from Texas. Regardless of the party, that's phenomenal, but all of this is stacking up and it's moving to the right and what we're learning down there is these are people who traditionally were not in politics. They were used to consider themselves Democrats. Now they're running as Republicans and they're overwhelmingly women because they don't get in a lot of people just didn't think that they were races that Republicans could win. So a group of Hispanic women stepped up and said, you know what? I'll take the reins. I'll raise money. Texas 15. Monica Della Cruz. She gave him really close last election cycle. She looks really good. Like she may win this election cycle. And the reason it is is people say Trump won that area in South Texas, a very conservative Latino democratic area by 20 points. What they don't talk about is in the rural areas, just outside some of those towns, he won by 32 points. So people are saying, well, how could that be? This is the democratic territory. It's because they're not treating politics as usual. They're fighting non traditional candidates who are talking in language that they understand about issues they understand. And they're not being written in talking points by the Republican National Committee. And the party is confused of who they are. And that's why this is the Republican squad. They may become a very powerful part in Tony Gonzalez handpicked. He's part of the young guns at the national Republican congressional committee that is like identifying people who can meet the $100,000 threshold. Can they raise money? The same challenges, non traditional candidates. But they're changing the system because there's an opportunity for them and traditional way of talking to people on the right and left isn't working. Leslie, before you were talking about the extremist voices not really having an impact on policy. That they make a big noise, they command media attention, but they're not actually influencing the policy. And I said we'd come back to that. And I think now is a really good time. Because there are those Ruben gallegos, who are influencing policy. But I think sometimes we're too quick to dismiss. So in AJC, we follow support for Israel very closely, obviously. And when the squad first came into Congress, the common response by Democrats, James, was, yeah, they're loud. People are paying attention to them, but they don't have an impact. But last year, when there was a vote on funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense, it was a few members, a very progressive wing of the Democratic Party, who said, no, no, let's vote just on that. Let's not lump support for Israel Ian with other things we are funding. Let's just vote on whether or not Israel should have missile defense. And it passed, thank goodness, but that was sort of a landmark moment. And so James, I want to ask you. Is that talk? Are they influencing policy? Are they increasingly going to flex those muscles? Well, first of all, the Iron Dome was put in by president Obama, who as I recall, was the Democrat, all right? Yes, there is a anti Israel sentiment on the extreme American left. All right, remember to person most responsible for the formation, the creation of the state Israel is probably Harry Truman. And there's also a distinction between being pro Israel and being the government of Israel. Being pro Israel does not necessitate that you have to agree with the gut because I haven't worked in his walk in a share of you that many people have lived at at the white government. Like a lot. And can be quite vocal about it. Thank you. But I do think that the whole of the Democrats have been Israel very much since its founding and continue to be so do we have some voices on our left that can sometimes get, I don't know, headed himself or kind of silly. Yeah, but let me tell you something. There wasn't good people on both sides in Charlottesville. There really wasn't. There could be good people on one side and it will really bad people on the other side. Really bad. So I think I would call this some background squabble in a Democratic Party. It's hardly more than 5 or 6 people in the caucus that feel this way. I think they're more it's more kind of a left wing sheet thing. It always been to be for Palestinians and against Israelis. It's just kind of the nature of that side. I actually like Palestinian spine, knowing a number of them. And I consider myself to be very pro. I don't think one excludes to other necessarily. On the Republican side, we often hear and this is, let's say, sort of inside Washington. When people are speaking candidly, they'll say, we don't understand the Jewish community. We've done everything we can for Israel. President Trump did the Abraham accords monumental, all of this, what more do you people want? And there are facets of the Jewish community that fall in line and say, this is the way to go. And a lot who say, but what about Charlottesville? What about anti semitic things made by Marjorie Taylor Greene? Jews responsible for space lasers. What do you say about that in terms of the Jewish vote in the Jewish space within the Republican Party? So there's two parts, I think, to that. One from a broader perspective, a global perspective, the geopolitical risk that Israel faces and the impact that it has on the globe is very significant, but that's a constant re-education, I think, especially for these new members for individuals who don't have that experience. And I continue to encourage that because there is a delta in terms of what people that fundamentally understand is real. Concepts, the challenges, where it is in the world and why the U.S. has to continue its support. And others that see it as a talking point because they don't have a connection to it. So there's that perspective and James is talking about that. The other perspective is all the anti semitic the rise in crime and hate crimes, the rise in violence that has been happening. And connecting that to a culture problem and why it's everybody's problem, it's not just a cultural problem, but it's everyone's problem that we're seeing this rise in violence. And how it is imperative that we meet these communities where they are and have that relationship. I think there's many members who just don't have that relationship on both sides of the aisle. For their own for their own reason. Any time that someone refers to a group that they not a member of is you people, that's not good. Okay? I wouldn't say it's a slur, but it's really not good. To dig a little bit deeper here. I have always had in working Anna fall and have a lot of friends. Several dual citizens. I've never much liked the idea to settlements. I think that provocative. I think they cause image problems that cause real problem. That doesn't, that's a legitimate concern that someone could have. And therein lies the thing is you can disagree with the policies of the government of Israel and at the same time be pro Israel and sometimes people have to stop digest that and think about it. A lot of these problems, they're difficult, the state Israel has always been under constant not just attack but under constant question and that's the way it is and it's probably going to stay that way for a while.

Now one man said that James carville the democratic strategist said that Democrats showing sympathy for critical race theory is going to drive the middle class to voters in the middle, the moderates to support Law & Order police state Republican policies because he said that this critical race theory means give black privilege now and show favoritism to all black people to make up for past Rome and doctor Martin Luther King is disregarded when he said we can judge character the critical race theory people say that doctor key is useless and outdated and his idea that we can judge character. You are, you are not accurately characterizing critical race theory. First of all, you're repeating basically right-wing talking points. The problem of critical race theory has been around for more than 20 years in academic circles. It is an attempt to understand how race and racism have helped to construct our contemporary society. Why is it that, for example, when highways were building cities that they almost always tore apart black neighborhoods to build those highways? Why is it that when they built a belching coal fired power plants that would pollute downwind communities that those downwind communities were always black? Just at the simplest level. It's that kind of stuff How does our systems and our racism interact with each other? Critical race theory broadly is not. But James carville's point is that when Democrats, what Republicans have done is they're cherry picking a phrase that 99% of white Americans have no idea what the hell it means. And they are attributed and Republicans are attributing a meaning to it, which people are adopting. And it's a pejorative meaning. It's a negative meaning. That they're attributing to it. Yeah, go ahead. One lady who advocates critical right theory told me that anybody that disagrees with critical race theory is full of nasty word. And that in critical race theory, you can not debate. You can not. No, none of this is none of that's true keynote. The word theory is in there sort of like theory of evolution, like,

"Now, as we look at what's happening in our country right now, I think it's important to take a step back and ask about some of the other trends and how they're all playing together. Are we still living under a regime of fear or is there now a restoration of individual spirit of liberty of entrepreneurship and trying to be forward thinking in a more positive sense? I can tell you right now, especially from some of the reactions to the repealing of the mask mandates that there's a remarkable, there's a huge group of people right now. That are ready to push back against what we have seen as the overarching overbearing, heavy hand of government. You have James carville, though, who supports to be a smart person saying a majority of Republicans are weirdos in The Twilight Zone. Democrat strategist James carville said on MSNBC that quote, of course, this party about a third of them are pulling for Russia, which is just insane. Yes, he wants people that will be compliant to his worldview, which is tax cut tax cuts for the richest people in the world and tax the poor people, which isn't a very smart idea, but the problem is that they're a weird political party, says James carville, who, you know, could be mistaken for an extraterrestrial alien. They need to be branded as such. These 26 QAnon people all right, they're not necessarily the extreme. These are people talking about testicle tanning. No, they're not. Oh my gosh. These are people want to go to Hungary for conferences. Hungary is actually really nice. These are not normal people, James carville says, by and large, a large part of the Republican Party is just out and out weird. When you have Moscow Mitch saying we need more sane people, that means you have a lot of crazy people.

Listener: 'We Just Keep Burning Our Heroes at the Stake'
"I got a text earlier today that is so perfect. The texture from the 7 7 four area code, we just keep burning all our heroes at the stake. Today it's the truck drivers. The last few months, it was healthcare workers. My sister a respiratory therapist who was on the front lines giving breathing treatments and intubating severely ill COVID patients even before we knew much about COVID or how it was spread was hailed as a hero. She was out there risking herself to keep people alive. Two months ago, she was fired for not getting vaccinated. It was three weeks before her 20th anniversary at her job, 20 years, the woman was on the front lines. Saving lives. James carville thinks she's a piece of S that he'd like to punch in the GD face. But that's our right carville. They fired her. They kicked her to the curb as the texture's so perfectly put it. We're burning our heroes at the stake.

Romney: Biden Was Elected 'to Stop the Crazy' Not 'Transform America'
"This. I normally wouldn't play a fierce never Trump hater like Mitt Romney on this show. But I must. Well, there's no question, but to the nation is severely divided. President Biden said he was going to try and unite the country, obviously, as you pointed out in the last segment, his comments in Georgia did not suggest he's trying to pull us back together again. He's got to recognize that when he was elected. People are not looking for him to transform America. They were looking to get back to normal to stop the crazy. And it seems like we're continuing to see the kinds of policy and promotions that are not accepted by the American people. Look, James carville just said that, you know, he's had a bad week, but not a bad year. No, no, as a matter of fact, he's had a bad year. He's had 52 weeks a bad week. I mean, people are 7% poorer now because of Biden inflation. Now, I don't want to turn this into a let's bash Mitt Romney show. I just don't. We got other things to cover. But I have to observe it's got to be very difficult to go on national television and trash the president that you advocated for. Mitt Romney supported Joe Biden, de facto. There's no way around it. You had a choice in November of 2020. Reelecting Donald Trump or electing Joe Biden and Mitt Romney made it very clear that he wanted Biden. These never trumpers are the Democrats best friend. There's media organizations that are comprised of never trumpers. There's a whole slew of people who are now making a living, has never Trump Republicans on liberal platforms, it's got to be real awkward to criticize Joe Biden wouldn't you think? And when Mitt Romney says people went to the polls to stop the crazy. Of course, clearly inferring that he thinks the Trump years were crazy. Yeah, nothing, nothing, nothing like nothing screams crazy like historic unemployment, GDP numbers solid, border security, strength of the military, pro law enforcement, pro Law & Order. Yeah, that's crazy.

We have Stephanie cutter, James carville, who came out and said that we need a woke detox. Well let me tell you, let me just kind of end the suspense for you if you will. That Democrats made a decision right as Floyd a palooza was beginning in last June. As Floyd a palooza was happening, and we had $3 billion in damages across the country, Wendy's on fire, police officers getting shot, Democrats saw a kinetic political energy that they wanted to seize for their own machiavellian, short term. Power goals. They didn't care about the cost. They made an all in bet on the racial arguments that this was going to be as significant as powerful as persuasive and as permanent. As the sudden shift on gay marriage in America. The Democrat consultants, the corporate hacks, they all said okay. The same way that Americans attitudes on gay marriage change dramatically in almost 5 years, that is going to be the case with race.

Republican Winsome Sears Challenges MSNBC's Joy Reid: 'Get Your Facts Straight'
"I know we shouldn't spend a lot of time on MSNBC personalities.

She immigrated to the United States from Jamaica had a tough time it was in a Salvation army homeless shelter. Got out of that challenge and that that pressure and that toughness and that hard life, U.S. Marine ran a women's shelter, served her state as a delegate now is elected. She's the number two elected official in the state of Virginia. First woman of color to hold that position, it's a magnificent story and joy read thinks Republicans like winsome shears are racists and white supremacists somehow, and dangerous. So yesterday I saw winsome Sears on Martha McCallum's show on Fox News. This, to me, sums up everything of this week, it sums up the collapse of the woke agenda. It sums up the this was a collapse of the this was a repudiation of the Biden agenda. We all know it. They know it. James carville knows it. A Democrat strategist been around forever, and he knows how the game is played. And he said, woke this is crushing and destroying the Democrat party. So I give you winsome shears on Martha McCallum show yesterday on Fox News with a very heartfelt challenge to one joy, read. You have to be willing to vocalize that these Republicans are dangerous. That this isn't a party that's just another political party that disagrees with a thumb tax policy. That at this point, they're dangerous. They're dangerous to our national security, because stoking that kind of soft. White nationalism. Eventually leads to the hardcore stuff. Your reaction to that, miss Sears. I wish joy Reid would invite me on her show. I'm let's see if she's woman enough to do that. I'd go in a heartbeat and we have a real discussion without joy. Speaking about me behind my back, if you will. She talks about white supremacy. Does she know that I ran against a white supremacist? I mean, joy, come on, get your facts straight.

You know we talked a little bit of it in the first segment about. How are you know. Our focus should now be on getting our allies out out of immediate danger whether it's to another nato allied country or alad country in the region or to the united states. But also how you think we're going to break through this refugee red tape. Bs that Has been and will continue to prevent particularly republicans who don't want any refugees to come in from from afghanistan. Well that's a good question. I the quick answer is it. It'll to be an executive order. And the long answer is we got to end this endless seemingly endless sniping at each other from either side of the political spectrum and the republicans. I often say the democrats are the party with no head. And the republicans are the party with no hearts and the republicans are just lost on so many issues when it comes to things like you know empathy humanity. Yeah common courtesy decency. it's an authoritarian cult and if that doesn't change than whoa beyond the united states and it doesn't matter if it's refugees from afghanistan or more than likely that you know the poor people in the inner city who don't get a chance to live a decent life and can't boat. Yeah i mean at this point you know. California should be taking in refugees from florida. Covert refugees which. Hey but i you know the the red tape is the problem and you know you know with your comment about the head and the heart on the democrat side. Now we got most the doctors and scientists so Feeling good about our chances but you know the the messaging We gotta get better at the messaging and so not only is the messaging now the first impression that biden botched this withdraw and there are problems. Don't i'm not gonna say there aren't any problems here but you know people take the first impression in the first message and we need to make it a stronger better message. Yeah what the democrats need to do is take a lesson from james carville who fought and did not was instill doesn't hesitate to get mccotter with republicans and he said look. Our ideas are better than theirs. I don't like their ideas. He said but what i what he respects about. The republicans is that they fight and get up in the morning and they fight and democrats. Just think that the ideas will carry the day. And that's one of the problems of the biden administration is they don't understand. They think that kick you know. Donald trump to the curb in trumpism is over with. And it's not and until they come to grips with the fact that this country is still divided and that they have the fight and a little more james carville in them with i think bode better bode well for the whole. Us nicole wallace said yesterday. She says you know ninety. Five percent of americans agree with biden's decision to pull out of afghanistan while ninety five percent of the media seems to have the opposite idea. And that's my problem there. They're these cable shows. Talking heads. Pundits are actually forming opinions instead of informing allowing people to to to make their own. Yes it's for money and the media has gone from giving us news that we need to treating everyone is a fan and giving the news that they want and until that changes in there are few ways to do it like busting up large media monopolies reinstituting some form of the fairness doctrine Giving a shield law so reports. Don't go to jail if they have confidential sources things like that and then also you know maybe perhaps using public funds to to help you know private enterprise because look. Journalism is incompatible with capitalist. You're going to have to at some point in time realize that journal Zim is there to inform and sometimes what out. Large companies want is not information but entertainment. Which is what we have today. So what can we do going forward to to to try to to try to make that happen to try to get back to some sort of semblance of sanity and reporting and then also to to ensure that we're putting pressure on this administration to to make sure they do. It seems like they're doing the right thing now. The cleanup Of this again terrible. Tragic awful disaster but it was never going to be. It was never going to be easy. No it never was going to be easy and look in in that. Specific case with biden's group did that was wrong with come to the east room and and do a speech. In front of a bunch of reporters he would have been better off sitting in the oval or from camp david pumping it out live and then because you left the press with the impression that they were going to be questions because there were reporters allowed to be there in the eastern and he didn't have any intention of taking questions and i don't blame him but presidents in the past so that was a staging and optics thing that they they should have done better. We we both have to get better first of all. There's no one in government or in the white house that i know of if i'm wrong someone will obviously crack me but i. I don't know of anybody in his case in staff that's ever worked as a reporter any to know what the heck you're doing and how to deal with reporters and that kind of institutional knowledge is needed. Secondly you gotta get better reporters and that you're not going to do unless we go back to. You know if you hire people straight out of school and buddhism out after three to five years because they make too much money..

"We're going to start in the early nineties back before this shift. When the old rules about government borrowing still applied. Bill clinton had just been elected president. He appointed an economist named laura tyson to be one of his top advisors and she looked at the economy and she saw this glaring problem year after year. Both government deficits and interest rates. Were going up and then he said omega if we don't get a hold of this federal deficit than that trend will continue. Those rates will continue upward. That was a very significant concern. Higher interest rates were concerned for a couple of reasons for one thing. Obviously they meant that the government had to pay more to borrow money but also when interest rates for the government went up. Interest rates also went up for everybody else. And that's it up this whole cascade of problems so we're people won't buy as many houses. There won't be as many houses constructed in their wealth as much capital equipment invested in and investments in important part of the Economic growth in your all sorts of every interest sensitive part of the economy the way the government runs a deficit. The way it borrows money is by selling bonds treasury bonds. The government says to really anybody. Okay lend us whatever one hundred dollars and in say ten years we will pay you back with interest will pay you back one hundred twenty dollars. The bond is basically the government's i. Iou you that it will pay back that loan with interest and during the clinton administration because of that link between deficits and interest rates. Everybody in the white house talked about treasury bonds about the bond market time. James carville was a political advisor to president. Clinton was just an obsession. In the early days of clinton's everybody say what's the bond market could house bot mocking react to hell multiple. i don't know it just became this omnipresent. The heart of every conversation. James carville was not an economics guy but as he spent time at the white house he realized that sort of bizarrely all these people who worked there making policy the people who had what seemed like the most powerful jobs in the world. We're in fact terrified of the bond market so when a reporter from the wall street journal called up carville to talk about the bond market. He came up with this line that became sort of famous or at least bond market famous kid. I wanted to grow up with four hundred hitter. The pope and the president. But i just want to be the bond. Market's gonna scare the hell out of everybody pleat. What did he say. A what a hundred hitter like in baseball pope the president baseball. I cannot tell you how many times he said that's me. Every meeting every meeting a lot of my memories are about carville sort of making jokes about you. Know you issues as a bond trader bond traders. These are the people who work in finance all around the world who manage a bunch of money. Generally other people's money pension funds or college endowments that kind of thing and every day they decide what bonds to buy and what bonds to sell what companies and countries to lend to and what companies and countries to not lend to to stop lending to and like with any lender bond traders worry about lending more money to a borrower who is already borrowing a lot because all that borrowing makes it more risky and so to compensate for that risk bond traders demand a higher interest rate. They stop lending until rates. Go up and this bond traders demanding higher interest rates when the government is borrowing more money. This is the scenario that everyone was so worried about people. Were so afraid of this that there was even a special term for the bond traders. Who do this bond vigilantes. Bill clinton has convinced. The bond vigilantes are scary and in fact he decides the us needs to bring the deficit down. He decides to build a whole economic plan around getting rid of the deficit. One of the economists he brought in to make that happen was jason and a central argument. That we made was if you do this. It will lower interest rates and interest rates are lower will have more investment and more economic growth and sort of amazingly. All of this happened. They did raise taxes and cut spending and get the deficit down. In fact by the end of the clinton administration the deficit felt all the way to zero. And what came next was sort of a golden moment for the economy in silicon valley. There was the dot com boom but really the whole economy was doing great businesses of all kinds. Were doing well. Ordinary workers were getting breezes lower deficits lead to lower interest rates which led to more investment. And that was good for basically everybody. The system was working. The next big moment in the story comes right after the financial crisis of two thousand eight and this is the moment when everything is about to change when this big shift in the way the world works is about to happen but nobody quite nosy yet. Brock obama has just been elected. President obama brings in clinton's guy. Jason furman as one of his economic advisors and ferment. Goes into this meeting to discuss. How big of a stimulus. Bill obama should push for as he takes office. We met with the president-elect december sixteenth two thousand eight and we're all crowded together in a conference room. I think it was in a law firm in chicago and he wanted it to be big. He wanted to be bold but there was this worry. The stimulus was going to be funded with deficit. Spending government was going to borrow the money. And some of obama's own economic advisers worried that borrowing and spending too much money might actually harm the economy for that classic reason

NPR's Business Story of the Day
Despite Widespread Pain, Economy Remains Strong Selling Point For Trump
"The president's approval rating remains low. He gets higher marks on the economy than other issues. That's true. Even now with almost thirty million people collecting unemployment benefits as Republicans focus on opportunity at they're convention the economy remains. One of the president's strongest selling points. NPR's Scott horsely reports. It takes a certain amount of Hooda campaign on your economic record when the unemployment rate is in double digits but that's exactly what president trump's been doing. You see the kind of numbers that were putting up there unbelievable best job numbers ever three months more jobs in the last three months before in boasting about the big job gains in May June and July trump conveniently omits the historic job losses. In March and April so far the US has recovered less than half the jobs that disappeared this spring this morning new numbers showing the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression a staggering number and the worst since the Great Depression worse than anything we have seen since the Great Depression ordinarily a recession like this would be crippling for a president seeking reelection look at what happened to George H W Bush back in Nineteen ninety-two despite his popularity after winning the first Gulf, War Bush's economic approval rating plummeted to just eighteen percent during what was in hindsight a relatively mild recession unemployment that year peaked at seven point eight percent but that was enough to send the president packing. That famous line from Bill, Clinton's adviser James Carville doesn't seem to apply to trump the president's economic approval rating has slipped since the beginning of the year, but it still hovering near fifty percent. So what's going on what's going on is the memory of the economy before the pandemic Republican pollster with air says, many Americans are still judging trump on the economy as it was six months ago before the coronavirus took hold here, it was rolling unemployment was at historic lows. The economy was in great shape before the pandemic killed it presidential approval ratings in general don't swing up or down as much as they used to as Americans have become more locked into rigid partisan attitudes. But Gallup's Lydia Saad also suspects many people are giving trump a pass. When it comes to the economic downturn, they're more concerned about the pandemic NC the economy is just a temporary symptom. SORTA like a hurricane something that's happened is come in it's created all kinds of havoc. But it's going to go away to get back to normal. That's how Mark Schneider sees it. He retired from the Navy after twenty years on nuclear submarines, and now runs an advocacy group for nuclear power. Last week, the S. and P. Five, hundred stock index was heading for a record high Schneider tweeted that the trump economy is unstoppable. The recession he says will soon pass but just steals temporary. Pause Kinda, paused economy as opposed to something mucking the system as he drives around his home of Chesapeake in South Eastern Virginia Schneider is confident that a lot of people feel the same way I? have yet to see a single biden sign in my entire city. I haven't seen a bumper sticker seen anything by him, but there's trump flag flying everywhere. My forecast is, is that trump's gonNA take a single landslide airs the GOP pollster is not so certain despite trump's solid grade on the economy air says, it may not be enough to save the president come November, the corona virus has driven out. Everything else trump's overall approval rating is considerably lower than his economic marks weighed down in part by his handling of the pandemic until there's a solution for the corona virus air says, it's going to be difficult for the economy to come roaring back.

Strategist Steve Schmidt Discusses Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump
"Do you think that Bernie Sanders is the biggest threat to your president trump? Right now I do think so I would say that the biggest threat to president trump is president trump. What do you mean by that? Well if he's on his game as he was at the state of the Union there's a candidate in the country that can beat them if there is a second choice of than himself it would be Bernie Sanders Bernie. Sanders brings out outside game in a similar fashion. That president trump did in two thousand sixteen interesting moment there with Tim. Scott of South Carolina Senator Bernie Sanders coming off a big win in Nevada. And on Saturday we will come to what is only. Let's remember the second primary of the political season. Let's talk about the state of our politics with us. Now Steve Schmidt a veteran former Republican strategist us since left the Republican Party. But he's here with US tonight. That's all we care about. Let's take them one at a time. Let's start with the Republicans. Start WITH SENATOR. Scott's point the biggest risk to donald trump is donald trump because we just had shannon petty peace with with a straight face as a reporter. Say It's another one of these crises corona virus. That trump didn't start himself. Well Look Tim. Scott is correct. I mean the person that is always created the most powerful for Donald trump politically is is donald trump but since his acquittal by the Senate as he's purging the government of anybody he thinks is disloyal as he is taking his revenge is he is a visceral rating the rule of law in unprecedented fashion. Interfering in criminal cases the Department of Justice his poll numbers are going up and so he is consolidating power at an alarming rate in doing so liberally. Let's talk about the Democrats and as we do. I WanNa play the Clip Bernie. Sanders campaign manager. Came on with Chris Hayes earlier on this network tonight. We'll look at that one of the reasons that I love and fight for Bernie Sanders. There's integrity and honesty. You get with him and what that means is when you ask them a direct question he gives you a direct response comes from his heart from his soul. Tells you exactly what he's thinking right and that means that sometimes you may disagree with his perspective but you know he's he's shooting straight with. He's not playing a political game. So when you ask them about. Hey how about Cuba and the Castro? Oh well he's an authoritarian. He's engaged in human rights abuses however there were some good things that happened in Cuba. We should acknowledge those two. And that's an honest answer and then other people will play political games. And that's why for instance Chris. I think over the course of this campaign. We've benefited from the fact that his stray shooting his integrity. His honesty rises above other people's efforts to try to offer political barbs and try to throw cheap shots in the kitchen sink at him that were tonight and at a CNN town hall and the last hour people to judge just said in effect here. We are as a party. We're talking about Fidel Castro. Indeed and they are and you look at travesty of a debate if you're in the business of wanting to remove Donald Trump from office. The one thing that wasn't talked at all about in that debate was trump or trumpism and so the campaign managers talking about Bernie Sanders Integrity. Is he showing integrity by not releasing his medical records? Is he showing transparency and integrity by not talking about the Price Tag associated with student? Loan Forgiveness Free Pre pre K. daycare for everybody. And there's no price tags on any of this. It's a dishonest progressivism. That's NO DIFFERENT THAN DONALD. Trump's dishonesty talking about the Mexican paid for wall it's all fantasy and so when Bernie Sanders goes out there. He starts talking about well. Here's the good sides of Fidel Castro. I think it's important to understand that there might be a constituency for that in this country but it's a really small one and it's certainly not enough to get you into an electoral college majority to win the White House. And it certainly dooms your chances in Florida. How do you process the fact that tomorrow night? We're going to have seven people on stage. Two of them are billionaires. Two of them look at real double digit poll numbers knowing that money bought those poll numbers not some inner need to have them as our next president. How do we process that well? I think they're two different cases right so first off. Mike Bloomberg was the mayor of New York City for twelve years and by any objective standard. He was one of the most competent successful leaders of large government anywhere in the world over the last quarter century. He was a profoundly successful mayor. I think it's a mistake for Democrats to attack. Somebody like Mike. Bloomberg who grew up in a middle-class circumstance and is a self made man is one of the country's greatest philanthropists and I disagree with him on a number of different issues but if you are invested in progressive causes. It's hard for me to think of anybody who has done more to advance progressivism whether it's on gun issues whether it's on climate then has Mike Bloomberg so the notion that Mike Bloomberg is on that stage somehow illegitimately is not something that I really understand. Tom Steyer has been an activist in American politics. Now for some period of years he has communicated a message. He's gotten the requisite poll numbers to be on the stage. The question will be after the South Carolina primaries. If you have eight moderate Democrats all of whom might have a greater chance of beating Donald Trump and does Bernie Sanders? Will some of those candidates get out of the race to help coalesce support around the strongest? Moderate candidate? Poor the issue right now in the Democratic primaries you cannot make an objective judgement and say Bernie Sanders is going to go down to Donald Trump in the swing states on the basis of poll numbers because the poll numbers. Don't support that in those states. But when you look at Bernie Sanders positions that we should criminalize illegal immigration. That we're going to take health insurance away from one hundred fifty million people who have private health insurance a of other issues the type of rhetoric that you saw him use on sixty minutes talking about Castro. All of these issues come together. In a way that I think objectively with James Carville said is disqualifying for somebody running for president in somebody. Who'S LIKELY TO LOSE TO DONALD TRUMP and I think that's what you're saying. A lot of panic in the democratic electorate in the democratic officeholder class in these days really focused on Steve Schmidt always a pleasure. Thank you for
