"Public safety in particular crime. Is that that way you read it? And if so, is she right? I think there was something that she certainly of crime itself and I think that there is some truth to that. But at the same time, Kathy hochul was about getting Kathy hoch elected and that was critically important. I think for the Democratic Party in New York State that she be reelected given the onslaught that she had, especially from opponent on the issue of crime. We saw the fallout play out in more suburban areas, not even in the areas where crime necessarily has increasing, but people when they read the New York Post, they read the newspapers that your emphasizing the increase in crime and the issue of bail reform, et cetera. I do think there is an opportunity to work on some of those issues to push back on some of that as well politically. And I think that Kathy hochul would have had to do that. But there's no question. There were issues that I think were not necessarily able to deal with in such a short time. I think the speaker may represent that as well. It was maybe too much to a little too little too late. For this election, but I think for the future, I think Democrats will better get a better handle on this. I can't let you go, Joe without asking about George Santos. Now, you would say that's a Republican problem because he is a Republican, after all. But he did have an opponent. What happened to the opposition research there from the New York State Democratic Party? I think there was failure as an oil route. I certainly this is not something the Republicans are happy about. And they ought to have been more honest about their candidates themselves back then. But because of their blindness to want to win at all costs, they turned a blind eye. I also think this fault related to democratic doorstep as well, whether it's former opponent that the failure to emphasize is enough. I think that Robert Zimmerman tried to make an issue of this. At some point, but the big papers don't have the investigative reporters that they once did. And what you've seen is the demise really of local newspapers. So there were a lot of things that have happened. It's important to note that a local newspaper did break the story about three or four months before election day, but it was never picked up by the media and the new medium of the Internet. It was not did not go hyrule until after he was elected. And so I think there were a lot of breakdowns, but one thing I can tell you, David, I think that there can be an awful lot of background checks on every candidate moving forward. In elections, not only in New York, but around the country as well. That's a good thing. Yeah, maybe some good-looking lot of it. Really good point, Joe. We always love having you with this. That's Joe Crowley. He is now senior policy director at dentons. Coming up, suddenly everyone is talking about India and I mean everyone on every front whether it's the economy with his geopolitics, whether it's the Internet.

"Globalist, it is 8 39 in the morning in Zürich, a 7 39 here in London. Let's continue now with today's newspapers joining me from our headquarters in Zürich is the travel culture and sustainability writer Noel salmi welcome back to the globalist Noel. And let's talk first of all about The New York Times as you'd expect. They're full of information about the midterm elections where the Democrats are calling it a hammering. They certainly did things didn't go quite as well for them there as they might have been expecting. Well, right. As we know in as Andrew said, it wasn't a Republican red wave and Democrats did do much better in the midterm elections than expected, except in the state of New York. There, for democratic seats for Congress flipped to Republicans. So in an interview yesterday with The New York Times, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also who also goes by AOC. I was thinking of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain when people say I am a Liverpool supporter. Right. Well, so let's call her. Okay, well, you can call her I agree. It's fine. So she easily won her own reelection, but she did reflect in this interview on what went wrong in the state of New York. And she criticized the failure of the New York Democratic Party to work with progressives like herself and to focus solely on supporting so called moderate Democrats. Which she says does not energize the voting base. Well, to take the man to take the Mandy rice Davis approach, she would say that wouldn't she. While she certainly would, and it's sort of an ongoing issue within the Democratic Party. Specifically in New York, there is the issue of governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned last year after a series of allegations about misconduct, sexual misconduct. But she also critiqued the old school approach of the New York State Democratic Party itself, which she says was not small D democratic. She said it's based on big money and old school calcified machine style politics that create an anemic voting base that is not that is disengaged and disenfranchised. So she said that by trying to fight Republicans on their own narratives like crime and safety, Democrats don't really have anything new to offer voters. Rather than simply trying to scare monger folks about a Republican victory, she said it's also important to lay down a vision and be unafraid about what we would do with power. And she contrasted the state of New York with the progressive state of California that puts things like public banking on the ballot. She says these are bills that are profoundly motivating. So in Ocasio-Cortez's opinion, it's time to either reform the New York State Democratic Party or if it refused fuses to be reformed to rebuild and replace. I do wonder, you're looking from over the Atlantic as we do at the moment or certainly I do. It's very tempting to see to view the east and west coasts as being these progressive areas of the United States and the bit in the middle as the kind of trumpy voting sort of areas of the Midwest and the Deep South and all the rest of it. But are we in danger of viewing New York State as a bit of a monolith here? Clearly, there's a lot of old money knocking around there. And there's probably a lot of left behind type people there as well, who might be rather cheesed off with the likes of AOC banging and progressive drum and not addressing what they were considered to be their real concerns. I think that's absolutely right. New York State really is a little sliver down south of New York, Manhattan, New York City, and Long Island, and then you go up north and it's a whole different state with a lot more conservative values. So yes, it's a real, it's a real concern. In California, really have sort of the sort of got the middle. You've got the farming areas, but you've got a really big democratic block around Los Angeles and San Francisco. So it could be, in this case, these seats were always going to flip. Regardless of what this goes back to the old Mandy rice Davis quote, AOC obviously has her agenda and fair play. She's going to push it. But it could well be as the midterms and this was always likely to happen. This is true, but she does have a good point that whatever they Democrats did, it didn't work. So perhaps it is time to try something new. Indeed, and let's go to Spain now. You have a wonderfully cosmopolitan roundup here. I know. We're going to el pais in Spain now. And their story that you wanted to feature is on the visit by the new Colombian president Gustavo Petro because this peaceful and going on in Paris at the moment. So he's been having a chin wag with Emmanuel Macron. And not about Colombia, not about France, but about Venezuela and how relations and indeed the entire country could be normalized once more. Yes, that's right. So Gustavo Petro has been president of Columbia for about three months now. And his first sort of international visit in Europe was to visit with French president Macron yesterday in Paris. And they are concerned about bringing democratic elections to Venezuela. So Colombia hasn't not only has this issue of Venezuela that Scott it's been getting numerous migrants over the last decade, 7 million Venezuelans have left the country during its crisis, but there's another urgent issue for Colombia, which is the status of its border, where armed groups have created a no man's land. And these groups have the sort of tacit support of Venezuela's president Nicholas Maduro. Gustavo Petro did visit Maduro and assured him he intends to maintain friend relations, but he would like to see some changes there. So Petro hopes to re-engage Europe's attention on Venezuela and to push Maduro to engage in dialog with the Venezuelan opposition groups in Mexico. Yes, the goal would be to eventually hold internationally supervised presidential elections in Venezuela in 2024. And indeed, Macron spoke directly with Maduro about this at cop 27 in Egypt earlier this week. I do think that it's clearly a sign that a manual Macron is looking for some sort of big foreign policy win. He's been trying on my patch in the Balkans. He's obviously now trying in the Americas as well. Oh yes, that's very true. He's always on the lookout for a good foreign policy opportunity. He hasn't done too well so far, I don't think, has he? Am I missing something? Yeah, no, there's not one that pops to mind immediately. Bless him, he'll keep on trying, I guess he's got another few years in which to try and get that big foreign policy win, and we will keep an eye on that one. Meanwhile, let's go to Switzerland. Well, hey, there you are in Zürich, of course, with I'm trying to read the gothic script on this Neuer bircher zeitung. Thank you as two gothic for me. Anyway, your local newspaper. And there's a man with a mustache standing there with a number plate in his hands, which reads Z H 100. And I have to say, I do find this personalized number played a bit sad, Noelle. I don't know about you, but the idea that you should pay more than €200,000 for a number plate seems absolutely extraordinary to me. But somebody's done it, haven't they? Yes, they certainly have. And it's actually not a personalized plate. So unlike the United States, for example, where people can buy personalized plates. In Switzerland, all the plates are very standardized and as annoyed to choose their side too. You said it quite well. Reports, these plates go up at auction. So license plates in Switzerland are very formulaic. They contain the initials of the Swiss canton where the car is registered, followed by numbers which are assigned sequentially, so essentially the higher the number, that's how many cars there are on the road in that canton. So you might think that it would be interesting to have a bigger number because you would show off that you have a newer car. But surprisingly, the opposite is true. The smaller the number, the more valuable the license plate and newcomers to Switzerland are often surprised by this. In fact, when we arrived here a few years ago, someone commented that it was so nice that our car had a relatively small numbered license plate. So yes, so at an auction, a buyer offered that CHF 226,000 for the license plate, reading ZH 100. But that is not the most expensive license plate sold. That number was 2000 CHF 233,000, which was paid for the license plate Z ten. Either way, the money is very much welcome in the coffers of canton Zürich. I think it's not just the numbers which are small, Noel. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. That's no el salme. This is the globalist stay tuned.

"Investigating the death of a man whose body was found today in lower Queen Anne were told officers made the discovery after being called to a report of a person down in the area Fifth Avenue north and Harrison, not far from the space needle, investigators say they will work with the medical examiner to determine how the man died. Wait times at the Seattle children's hospital ER are climbing details from northwest news radio's jeopardy. Whether it's COVID influenza or even RSV, the emergency department has seen a significant influx of patients, ER director doctor Kimberly stone says they've been well over capacity. It had been about 200% at peak times. It's gone up to more like 250 to 300% at times. But she says that shouldn't deter parents if they need to bring their kid to the ER as patients are triaged and always treated in order of severity. Jeff pojo and northwest news radio. This midterm election campaign has been one of the most brutally negative campaigns in recent memory northwest news radio's Ryan Harris, as the leaders of both major parties about it. It's been part of the Republican playbook for decades, says Tina podlaski, Washington state Democratic Party chair, what she calls, quote, fear, misinformation and lies. I think that it is not good for a civic forum to put that fear misinformation and lies out there. Look at the rise of Fox News and look at the rise of politicians who are play fast and loose with the truth and it's not okay. I think that washingtonian voters are smarter than that. State Republican Party chair Caleb heimlich calls it unfortunate, but says its reality that negative ads work. As long as voters keep rewarding those that run negative ads by voting for them, the ads are going to continue to get more negative. I think it is fair to criticize someone for their votes, criticize someone for the policies and the laws that they implemented and criticize people for the results of those policies. Democrats have also repeatedly accused Republicans of racist tactics which heimlich calls a quote blatant lie and says he would absolutely denounce. Ryan Harris northwest news radio. The estimated jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing is now a record $1.6 billion that pride grows right along with increasing ticket sales, which provides several benefits for our state. Christie week's legal services director for the Washington lottery says the money does not pay for K through 12 schools, but 18% goes to education, including college scholarships and grants. We also provided 25% of the total budget for the early childhood education and assistance program, which serves three to 5 year olds, sends them to preschool, gets them ready for a good learning experience when they do start kindergarten. Weeks as lottery money is also help pay for big projects like part of the Seahawks stadium. It's another record year for big boats along the Seattle waterfront northwest news radio's Brian Calvert explains. It appears several of us were very eager to return to see this past summer. Seattle said another cruise season record, according to the port of Seattle, 295 ships stopped here this year, bringing 1.3 million passengers. It's a jump from 20 19s pre-pandemic numbers when 211 ships parked here. This was a bumper year port of Seattle commissioner Fred Feldman told the puget sound business journal. COVID is really shown us what it's going to look like if we don't approach this with a sense of responsibility. It's coming back strong and we're trying to make sure we don't kill the goose with the golden egg. The numbers this year are also strong at sea tac international airport where passenger counts are higher than they've been in a couple of years, but still 11% lower than the numbers of 2019.

"Tax revenue over the next two years. So with less money coming in, that means programs likely have to be cut. The priority is going to be not investing in new programs. That's budget chair Theresa mosquito. But negotiations over what exactly to cut have just begun by law, the city has to have a budget in place by the end of the month. Jeff pojo and northwest news radio. Governor Jay inslee says he wants to spend more money on housing and homelessness next year than the state has this year. His plan calls for more rapid rehousing to get homeless people off the street and more resources to ease the permitting process to lower building costs. The governor also wants to see more housing density to help lower costs and more homes built near transit corridors. To be successful, we have to work with all levels of government and nonprofits. And unfortunately, seeing that good cooperation to make this team run. The leader of Washington's Republican Party says we've spent billions in the problems keep growing. He wants to see homeless people given the option to either come in and get help, including drug treatment, or to face arrest for violating laws against street and park camping. Confidence in our elections is still a key part of this year's campaigns, northwest news radio's Ryan Harris, as the heads of both major state parties for their take. State Republican Party chair Caleb heimlich says he's already used a ballot Dropbox to vote, but he says he thinks it's fair to ask questions about our election system starting with ensuring the roles of 4.8 million Washington voters are clean. The right people registered to vote. Those people receiving one ballot having a signature verification process. And so we want everyone to have confidence in the electoral system, whether on the right or on the left. State Democratic Party chair Tina podlaski accuses Republicans not only of supporting election deniers, but of quote embracing misinformation and lies and people who, quote, want to tear down our democracy. We put something into place that is not what our constitution and our framers had in mind when we put together this great country. We see that happening with Republicans across the state. It is sad. It is desperate and Democrats are going to do everything we can to fight against it. Both padlocks and heimlich say they are unaware of any issues like in Arizona, where a federal judge has now ordered armed groups to keep their distance from ballot drop boxes. Ryan Harris, northwest news radio. In Bellevue, the city is counting on technology to make streets safer. Northwest news radios, John lobert reports. There are traffic cameras and then there are smart cameras, 16 of them dotting intersections across Bellevue, recording hazards and near misses that could be used by traffic engineers to improve safety. We're in the midst of a public health crisis. Paul told me what the cascade bicycle club has some different ideas. Better infrastructure, more protected bike lanes that separate people on bikes from fast moving cars, in better signed crosswalks. So that drivers are aware. Traffic deaths nationwide hit a 16 year high in 2021, and the numbers in Washington have been climbing since 2019. Smartphones, a lot of fatalities are caused by distracted driving.

"Win. I mean, that's the thing about why it's so important to challenge incumbents, you know, from within our own part, we gotta drag people left. And we can do it by talking about the issues because when we talk about our issues, the voters are like, wow, that would be great. Universal healthcare. We could have that legalized marijuana. We could have that really actually muscular rent laws, you know? And then end to cash bails so that people aren't sitting in jail for months and sometimes horribly years on end awaiting trial that are legally innocent in the court's eyes. And it's so important to talk about too because so much of what the GOP likes to paint as fucking wacky socialism are actually policies that other like 90% of other industrialized countries have had for years. We're not leading the world here. We're trying to catch the fuck up in a lot of instances. I was so thrilled by India Walton's candidacy as Merrick buffalo recently and so deeply deeply sad that she did not prevail. But I think that if you just look at that one case, I mean, it's so it's so like Cuomo that Myron Brown has been the democratic mayor of there for 16 years. He's barely a Democrat. Like Cuomo, he's really just interested in holding on to power and paying off his cronies and distributing the money to those who support him and starving the city of any resource, otherwise. If you look at what happened when India Walton, who ran an amazing grassroots campaign with not a single paid staffer and she took from him the democratic nomination. She was democratic nominee. But what happened is, you know, a lot of people that I consider in the establishment, like, you know, even like Chuck Schumer and, you know, Kristen gillibrand. I mean, they endorsed her, but, you know, JJ Jacobs, the head of the New York State Democratic Party did not Kathy vocal are democratic governor who is from buffalo herself, did not endorse and what you saw was they vilified her and they made her a boogie woman. And Republican money poured into Byron brown's coffers. And that's what happened so much even with people who are ostensibly in our party when they get challenged from the left. You know, we have different wings of the Democratic Party, but I wish we had more sense of don't team up with those customers. Fundamental threshold. Team up with those guys. They stand for really the opposite of everything that we're saying we stand for. And if you're not going to support the democratic nominee, don't ever come back to me and say, you know, hold your notes and vote for me because I'm a Democrat. It was like, where were you for India, Walton? She was the nominee. Totally. So politics can be both depressing and inspiring, but you know what's just nothing but good? And just like that. Okay, so here's my question. From your lips to God's ears. Oh, I'm so ready for it. Are you kidding? I so just to just so you know, in 2008, this is one of my favorite stories. In 2008, we're on the Obama campaign when Sex and the City, the movie comes out. And we had not done anything for ourselves..

"Thank you so much Charlie pellet from the Bloomberg interactive broker studio This is balance of power I'm David Westin We are back now with our special political panel of basilica former executive director of the New York State Democratic Party and Jennifer Nasser She is former chairman of the Massachusetts state Republican Party So we've talked in the first segment here about what happened yesterday with the elections Let's talk about what it might mean for the future And bezel let me start with you What does this mean for build back better Well it means that we need to get something done quickly If we have nothing to tell voters come next year If we can't if we can't tell them how their lives have been made better by this first year of Joe Biden and having both houses of U.S. Congress then we went into significant problems But the conversation around how much this cost and all that hurt us a little bit because ultimately vote is respond to bricks and more power Bricks and mortar politics What can they access but they can go to what they can materially see the difference in and we haven't done that yet I think we can get there But it's taking a long time and if we don't do it soon it's going to have real ramifications next year this time Jennifer I suspect I don't want to put words in your mouth that you might think that this is in part a rejection of bigger government because we've got a lot of government already But what is the affirmative agenda for the Republicans I understand that they don't like taxes and they certainly don't like critical race theory We certainly heard that loud and clear but what's the affirmative program for the Republicans Is they go into the midterms So the way that junk in oneness was as you have said earlier the kitchen table discussions Those issues of the economy of jobs of education of national security foreign policy Those are the issues right So if we can have good communicators out there people who are likeable people who are running for Congress and later on for president who are not just always rejecting but coming up with the positive solutions So for instance what we see right now in the economy is that the Biden administration wants to give more money to people to basically stay at home And what Republicans need to do is say no we need to help those small businesses by putting people back to work We need to get those gas prices down inflation is going to kill our families It's going to kill our young graduates So instead of having talking about bigger government and more interference we do need to look at the way that we're going to get the economy kick started again People back to work and put families and better positions so that way for generations from now they're better off than they were before That's what we used to talk about We need to get back to those principles Jeff that sounds really good but I just wonder if you're sort of writing the horse in two different directions On the one hand we want to get the economy going again Want to help those small businesses On the other hand we want to fight inflation because typically you fight inflation by tightening the monetary conditions and that does not help small business It doesn't help get the economy going again Do you have to choose between those two things if you're a Republican I don't think that we have to I think that Republicans spending has been out of control as we've seen over the past decade decade and a half I think we need to rain in that spending And I think we need to look if we're going to talk about an infrastructure package right The Democrats talk about infrastructure as social infrastructure a family infrastructure I think what we need to talk about is serious infrastructure Let's get people working on roads Let's get those shipping those containers that are sitting in courts in New York and California Get them out get them on the road Get people back to buying and people back working And that will help as an overall solution Nothing is going to be solved in a day because this is something that has been going on And it has led to this crisis at this point But someone needs to have some out of the box thinking and some positive ways to get there And it's not going to happen by continuing to just say we're going to spend billions of dollars on the economy and billions of dollars on child tax credits but we need to do is make sure that people have the means to get back to work that they have good quality housing and that they have great jobs and that their kids are getting well educated Basil Jennifer says you can't do this in a day It's been building up for a long time One thing you could get done in a day or at least a week is to get the bipartisan infrastructure Bill passed without having to wade through the build back better plan That's basically as I understand what Joe Manchin said is Joe Manchin right I mean he's technically right But I think only to point is made a second ago I do think and this is really the sticking point There are those of us in a lot of Democrats believe that that work has changed Everything has changed This pandemic has changed everything So we have to start thinking better more smartly about.

"We are back at at eleven forty five eastern time. Eight forty five out west where it really matters are. Nbc news decision desk has determined based on the votes already in based on the algorithms. That tells them where this thing is headed that the recall has been turned down. Governor newsom will remain governor newsom in the state of california back to our guests. Ap stoddard the ongoing republican attack. Very much on brand as part of trumpism on the integrity of elections somewhat famously over the past twenty four hours websites up announcing the newsom victory these are sponsored on the other side announcing the newsom victory and saying it was somehow compromised. How is that argument going to work when they win. One was wondering the same thing today. Brian it is remarkable that they couldn't just hold the button Until the actual results came in. But this is It's sad because Even though it seems so funny The the free speech rights of donald trump have allowed. A you know for the situation that we're in we're millions and millions of americans believe him that he lost lacks Class election and he is so so much ever since eroded the trust in the system that people have. If you look at what's happened since guy. Republicans needs to know. There are two things at play here. The membership fee for participation in donald trump's republican party is that you have to always back the big lie and you have to be at one six trooper but when it comes to any other election he will even if you don't agree with him. Whether it's the georgia runoffs in the senate january five or larry elder attempt In the recall election in california he will suppress the republican. Vote by coming out and saying in advance. It's all rigged just like the twenty twenty election and it's all a joke and thereby keep the voters. Republicans need to turn out at home so if your candidate you just need to know going forward in the republican you have to back the big lie and then when your ballot comes do the president can be countered on the phone president to come out and tell the voters that it's all a joke anyway and the whole thing is rage unbelievable stuff but so on brand for both twenty twenty and twenty twenty one ab. Hey phil thank you for your patience as well a dual construction here on this question. How important according to your reporting and just your feel of the situation was biden to making sure newsom prevailed and how important is it to biden and his agenda that indeed newsom prevailed. You know brian. I think it's important for newsom that by then took that trip out to long beach california for that big rally last night because it reminded The democratic faithful in california that. This is not Some throwaway election but that it could have profound consequences. Remember biden was reminding voters in california. That larry elder the leading republican candidate. To replace newsome was as close to a trump clone. As you could have they were trying to nationalize this election and make democrats in california. Fearful that if newsom were recalled and a republican where to take his place. It would not be an arnold schwarzenegger style republican but rather it would be donald trump style. Republican outta the second piece of your question it's always difficult of course to nationalize elections play out in an individual state especially when is unique and has heavily democratic is california That said there's a clear. Take away from this result regarding cove it because biden right now is facing highly partisan politicized environment in reaction to the mandates. He instituted last week. Federally for the cova vaccine and his strong advocacy for mask usage. And what we're seeing in the exit polling and also iran results in california is overwhelming support from the voters. there for wearing masks for vaccinations. And of course for the strict protocols the health safety measures governor newsom has put in place in the state of california. Hey mike murphy. Quick one for you elder is a trumpeter. We should just stay that plainly. There's no other way to put it. Is there a danger to running. A trump burr in a he was the statewide front runner among republicans Could it could. It hurt or erode republican chances for suburban vote in twenty twenty two in california. Yeah i mean the truth is again. This is such a democratic land here. There are no longer viable statewide. And you know we have lab experiment number eighty four here to prove that but you know if i were the republican senate campaign committee wanting to win pennsylvania. Where the billy suburbs or so critical wanting to win Arizona and betsy you know we have a formula. Now that elects democrats and trump's a big part of it and so you know as long as trump runs wild. We have a brand problem in the suburbs. And while the house may be going our way for reasons outside of messaging If they want to win the senate time for a change is trump is an anchor and california is a sign of that even though it's not a very viable state for the republican our man at this newsom california democratic party event in sacramento. Is jacob. sober off who over. The past. two days of coverage has interviewed both helder and the still incumbent governor jacob. What's going on there that. We can't see brian. Where i think just a couple of minutes away from the governor walking in here to the california state democratic party headquarters for what really is Not an improbable victory. But one that maybe a couple of weeks or months ago may have seemed out of reach. This is a state of at faces multiple crises by the definition of the president of the united states whether it's how covert hit this state particularly hard the highest economic inequality in the union And i do think that governor newsome who we're going to hear from in just a minute is going to come in here and talk about how voters decided to keep him in office amidst those crises. Instead of moving away from the governor of the biggest state in the union the most populous state in the union they decided to stick with him at a time when many folks thought that he might get thrown out even by members of his own party and today and over the course of the last couple of days. The focus moved away from those issues and onto democracy. Larry elder the front running. Republican candidates said that he wouldn't necessarily accept the result of the election in fact when i asked him. He declined to do so outright. And today when i spoke with governor newsom he told me point blank win or lose he would accept those results of looks like tonight. He's going to have the chance To accept those results. And i think probably within the next minute or two. I'm just watching his vehicles. We'll up in the distance. Brent are jacob sober off who is also right in front of that. Cluster of microphones and the california democrats. Banner quickly back to steve kornacki. While we wait steve. I am guessing you're going to tell me that numbers have filled in on the board yet. A obviously in the trend lines that indicate. The decision of our decision desk was the correct. One yeah although i gotta tell you honestly not ton filton is the last time you saw me. I think the when we called the race it was at about sixty percent of the is in now about sixty two percent is in and this is where i tell you if you didn't want to be up for the next two or three weeks waiting for a result. Looks like the governor's talking. I think you're probably gonna wanna here. We go But.

"And easy available method there. You're telling people don't use about that's on your kitchen counter for a month, you know, wait until some Tuesday and hope that you don't have a kid scrape their knee or work late or other things get in the way. And I feel really bad for people like Jessica Patterson, the chair of the GOP in California, who actively has been out there, saying, built by mail and trying to put on Twitter, her voting by mail herself. And trying to push back on this narrative, But this narrative it's so far gone now. I don't think that even if they were winning this election, they could help themselves from claiming that there's voter fraud. Hm. So is there a split between the local there? The California Republican Party and the National Republicans on this Are they other local party leaders frustrated and angry that this has become the dominant talking point nationally? I think there are definitely portions of kind of the Republican establishment California that for a long time have sought to kind of forge their own message on, say, immigration or different issues that are more in tune with kind of the median California voter to try to Become more relevant in the state, and they find their work kind of being undone by some of the rhetoric nationally, and I think we've seen this with a number of kind of Republican leaders throughout the last couple decades. Who really would prefer to have a brand of Republican Party that is more California. But it it gets caught up in these Republican kind of national firestorms. It's a little bit hard for them to control. Mm. And Nick is the reverse happening as well that nationally, people are looking at this race and taking lessons from it in terms of how they want to run. Their race is either congressional or their statewide races and other states. I think there's certainly just an element now that you know all politics have been our national no matter how kind of local and especially when you're dealing with the state as big as California and that this is the only statewide election that we kind of have to pay attention to. Now there's going to be lots of extrapolation about what worked and what didn't I mean, if you just look at the advertising messages, you know, Newsom is really run or shouldn't say Newsome, but the committee that's supporting him That's being funded by the State Democratic Party and Reed Hastings. They're just focusing still on the management of the pandemic, and if you other things, whereas the elder campaign that Cox campaign for the Republican efforts are really focusing on Messages about high taxes and homelessness and crime and then more red meat issues like fraud. So, uh, I think you're just seeing kind of what the playbook has been, and maybe what it's going to look like in 22. But more so I think what I what I found to be kind of the most surprising was just how quickly and how swiftly the voter fraud narrative latched on here and has kind of become, you know, court to these final days of the campaign, and I think That more than anything is just indicative of what we're probably going to be living within in the midterms as well. Right? Well, how many Paul? I don't know if you can assess this, but how many voters are actually buying this claim of voter fraud that you know for an election that hasn't been tabulated yet? Ah, Um yeah. I don't know how many voters are really buying into this, but I do know that the data shows Republicans are not right now rushing to the polls as a lot of people were hoping, um, when we look at People who are poor voting and look back to the 2020 general election in L. A county. There were 64,000 poll voters on the weekend before the election. This cycle, there's only been 12,000. In in Orange County. We're seeing similar numbers Where the day before the election. There was 175,000 early votes cast, and as of this morning, there's only 36,000. So if the Republicans are believing in this election, believing in their chances and and enthusiastic about this recall, we will be watching for them showing up at the polls and it hasn't happened yet. I think there is a real risk here that this, you know possible 10 20 point lead in the polling, Uh, for the no side on the recall could get wider if the Republican voters kind of Self select to not vote because of these fraud claims, and, uh, you know, it could just widen that chasm in this election. And on the second question, Um Larry Elder is leading is he Does he have a significant percentage? Uh, hold on on the other candidates. Well, yeah, he does. He has a significant polling advantage. I think that most people would expect him to be the winner on the replaced side. One of the funnier things that I saw today was that one of the other consultants was out there, saying When you calculate the replace you don't use the total votes cast as the denominator for for the win use just the votes that were cast for one of the replacements. And the funny thing about that is that we could see some Republican front runners. Some Established names that we were expecting to be, You know, top tier candidates in 2022 for the governor's race like Kevin Faulkner, uh, Cox, even Kevin Kiley, uh, in single digits in the Final result and that would be pretty shocking and kind of leave that 2022 gubernatorial field. In shambles, and I think that both Newsome could end up stronger out of this in his own race and, as was said earlier. This could, you know, really create a narrative that other Democrats around the country look to As to how you can as a democratic governor and a big blue state. Uh, kind of survive this post covid era by embracing the policies you've done to keep people safe, transitioning to that, you know real core democratic issues like choice and gun control and the environment. And maybe help Democrats nationally understand a messaging path for 22. Paul Mitchell, vice president of political data. That's a.

"President Biden last night welcomed the cease fire that was reached between Israel and Hamas. I believe the Palestinians and Israelis Equally deserved to live safely and securely and I enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity and democracy. My administration will continue our quiet, relentless diplomacy toward that end. This crisis ended up becoming the biggest public disagreement yet between Biden in the progressive wing of his own party. For decades, Democrats and Republicans have stood by Israel almost without exception, but with this latest violence, the left started pushing the Democratic Party to fundamentally rethink that relationship. NPR's Asma hollowed reports When New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez took to the House floor last week, she asked a simple but provocative question. President and many other figures this week stated that Israel has a right to self defense, and this is Um, sentiments that is echoed across this body. Do Palestinians have a right to survive? Do we believe that? And it's so we have a responsibility to that as well. Look when Alexander Acosta Cortez is staking out her position on this That's the Overton window shifting before your eyes. Then Rhodes was a deputy national security adviser under former president Obama, and therefore it's gonna be harder to just Stick to the old line of essentially unquestioned support for the policies of the Israeli government. Rhodes says the conversation is different than the last time there was a war in Gaza. It's just simply a fact that there was never this kind of Pressure vocally from the left on Issues related Israel during the Obama years, Jeremy Ben Ime with the liberal Jewish lobby J. Street, says the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, shifted the terms of the debate. Prime Minister Netanyahu really made the strategic decision for Israel to throw in the country's lots with the Republican Party and with the right wing, Netanyahu famously came to Washington when President Obama was in office, Republicans invited him to address Congress, where he blasted the Iran nuclear deal. Democrats say under former President Trump most issues became more polarized and Israel was no exception. Ben Ammi says the right tried to box Democrats in you're either with us or against us, and anybody who supported two states recognize Palestinian rights who wanted peace was anti Israel. But the shift isn't just about the politics of Netanyahu in Trump. Progressives in Congress and on the street often compare the Palestinian cause. Two fights for racial justice in America That didn't just happen by accident. After the murder of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager in Florida, admit a booze made co founded a group called Dream Defenders that organizes black and brown communities in 2012 on our 1st march, we're marching to Sanford, Florida, where Che Long was killed. And on that march, I was wearing a Confia. The Palestinian scarf that many rightly identify with the Palestinian struggle. And we had conversations about state sanctioned violence that was made went on to lead four delegations of black activists to Israel to see how Palestinians live. Activists say social media is also a part of the equation. One of the major things that is different about this moment is access to information. Rana acting leads the progressive group. Move on. We're seeing videos. Ah fathers holding their dead daughters and we're seeing reports directly from Palestinians for probably the first time. Young activists see the Israeli Palestinian conflict as a power struggle. Our generation doesn't view issues through a single issue lens and we have grown up participating in social movements that have been sweeping the country. Evan Webber is the political director of the sunrise moving. It's an organization focused on climate change. Sunrise was one of 140 groups to sign a statement calling for the Biden administration to condemn the Israeli government's plans to quote forcibly displaced Palestinians. Progressives like Webber think Biden has a vintage view of the conflict. They've been frustrated because they feel like they've been able to nudge the president on issues like climate change and racial justice. But not on this. It's been very disappointing. I think it's been one of the most disappointing things that we've seen so far. From the Biden administration. This push from the left is not without controversy when the chair of the Nevada State Democratic Party put out a statement, saying the U. S, has for too long turned a blind eye to injustice and violence by the Israeli government. Comments drew criticism from multiple members of Nevada's congressional delegation. And so it is unlikely the left will actually shape Biden's foreign policy, but they will continue to prod him..

"Nearly five months after the presidential election was certified in Arizona. An unprecedented challenge to President Biden's narrow win in that state is underway. On Friday, a private company began a hand recount of more than two million ballots in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix.

Their original subpoena was to gain access to ballots and the county's voting systems. It was tied to an effort to try to upset Biden's victory before it could be certified by Congress. Maricopa County election officials, Democratic senators the State Democratic Party, They want nothing to do with this. They say. It's a sham run for conspiracy theorists by conspiracy theorists now that the election is over, and Biden is an office those Republicans are saying they just want to find any problems.

Yeah definitely and the cd. Three race is a perfect example of of What we were talking about earlier You know you You you suzy. Lee is is a good democrat for that district because she's a moderate and There's a lot of people who are progressives who don't like moderates and think will wire their you know what's the point Of having a moderate democrat you might as well have a republican in there But But but honestly if you ran a if bernie sanders moved to southern nevada got gave up his mittens gave up. His jacket moved to southern nevada. in lived here and decided to run for congress in the in the third congressional district he'd have an uphill climb. It would be tough for bernie sanders to win notwithstanding the fact that he would have total progressive. Support the district currently drawn. And we'll see how it's drawn at the end of the summer when they re district the district is currently drawn would be a very tough sledding for bernie sanders And and i it's not as tough for sicily because of their ideological differences and so that's a perfect example. Now you have april becker Who is a good candidate. She was a very good candidate in that state. Senate race And i think she'll be a very good candidate for For this district assuming she wins the primary. You're gonna have to have somebody who can't be painted as a crazy out of touch socialist. Who wants to take away. Everybody's healthcare and give government healthcare You you if you have that kind of person who would be much easier for a republican challenger to to win that seat and certainly. It's happened many times before in the history of the third congressional district so that district has kind of a good example of the the consequences of of these kind of things. And what potentially could go wrong You need a etiological diversity in the party because of the ideological diversity of the districts and if you do a poor job of matching candidate to district you lose and the other side wins and And you know that may Be for for democrats again a disaster like it wasn't twenty sixteen with donald trump winning the presidency And so you know. These things have to be taken into consideration and the political realities of those things have to be taken into consideration. So i think that's that's that's gonna come into play For some of the central committee voters not all but some of the central committee. Voters will look at things outweigh and i think.

He has a good professional or political relationship of Mitch McConnell, who's still the Republican leader of the Senate.

But I again I think some of those air points of negotiation.

The Supreme Court Allows More Time For Pennsylvania's Mail In Voting
"The Supreme Court allows extra time for Pennsylvania's mail in ballots by Marc Sherman and Mark Levy. Washington. The Supreme Court will allow Pennsylvania to count mailed in ballots received up to three days after the November third election rejecting a Republican plea in the presidential battleground state. The justices divided four four on Monday an outcome that upholds a state Supreme Court ruling that required county election officials to receive and count mailed in ballots that arrive up until November sixth. Even if they don't have a clear postmark as long as there is not proof it was mailed after the polls closed Republicans including President Donald Trump's campaign have opposed such an extension arguing that it violates federal law that sets Election Day as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November and that such a decision constitutionally belongs to lawmakers not the courts. The State Republican Party Chairman Lawrence Tavis said the party disagrees with the decision and noting the four four decision. It only underscores the importance of having a full supreme court as soon as possible to be clear. The Supreme Court decided not to grant stay which does not mean the actions of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would withstand a legal challenge to their judicial overreach. Should the court hear the case tape said? Nancy Patty. Mills Chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party accused Republicans of trying to sow confusion and disenfranchise eligible voters. This is a significant victory for Pennsylvania voters. Mills said in a statement, the Democratic majority on the state's High Court had cited warnings that postal service delays could invalidate numbers of ballots and surging demand for mail-in ballots during the coronavirus pandemic to invoke the power used previously by the state's courts to extend election deadlines during a disaster. Chief Justice John Roberts joined with the three liberal justices to reject Pennsylvania Republicans call for the court to block the State Court ruling. Justices Samuel Alito Neal Gorsuch Brett. Cavanaugh and Clarence Thomas would have required the state to stop accepting absentee ballots when the polls close on November third. There were no opinions accompanying the order. So it is impossible to say what motivated either group of justices the conservative justices have been reluctant to allow court quarter changes to voting rules close to an election. The court also is weighing a similar issue from Wisconsin but in that case, the ruling being challenged comes from a federal appeals court and the Democrats who are asking the justices to step in. Most states make election day the deadline, but eighteen states half of which backed trump the twenty sixteen election have a post election day deadline with nearly a million votes already cast in Pennsylvania, we support the court's decision not to meddle in our already working system Pennsylvania's Attorney General Democrat Josh Shapiro said in a statement. On, a separate track Republicans in the State House have pressed Governor Tom Wolfe a Democrat to agree to eleventh-hour legislation to eliminate or limit the three days under the court's order. The case is one of many partisan battles being fought in the state legislature and the courts primarily over a male in voting. In Pennsylvania amid concerns that a presidential election result will hang in limbo for days on a drawn out vote count in the battleground state. And Pennsylvania the State Democratic Party and a liberal group the Pennsylvania Alliance for retired Americans had salt an extension of the election day deadline to count mailed ballots. About two point eight, million mail in ballots requested and approximately nine hundred thousand returned democratic registered voters are requesting mail ballots at a nearly three to one ratio over Republicans, and it's September seventeenth ruling the divided state Supreme Court said ballots must be postmarked by the time polls close and be received by county election boards at five pm on November six, three days after the November third election it also said that ballots lacking clear postmark could be counted unless there was evidence that they were mailed after the polls closed.

Why some dems dislike Reid Hoffman
"Might, be here at recode centers on tech billionaires who they are, what drives them, and what exactly they spend their fortunes on. And these days one answer to that last question is politics. So I, try and chart the gusher of billionaire money flowing. Into American. Elections. Often in secret. Joining me on the show today here is my editor at recode, Sam, open hey sam hey teddy. So last week, we published a story from you about one of these billionaires read men, the founder of Lincoln Board member of Microsoft, a major democratic political donor. So I think this conversation is a chance for us to talk about why out of the many people in Silicon Valley could be covering why did we focus on hosman? He's not really a household name the way that Mark Zuckerberg are Jeff Bezos are let's talk about what makes him an interesting character in Silicon Valley. Yeah I mean he someone who? Has. A ton of. Money. But more. So is one of these people who sees himself as a quote unquote thought? Leader Right. He sort of coins terms that are used in startup land. He has a podcast which has tons of listeners and he's basically sort of cultivated this image as one of the good guys of silicon. Valley. And in the last four years, he's taken his billions of dollars net worth and decided that he wants to become the tip of the spear of Silicon, Valley's to oust trump and he's doing exactly that Nacho spending his own money but sort of serving as a port of call for all Silicon Valley so that's why we thought focused on Reid Hoffman. As a way to talk about the bigger story, which is the politicization and the new partisan ethos that has taken over tech over the last four years. One of the things that we talk about early in the story as we talk about his donor table and I think that gets at this idea that. He's Gathering his fellow billionaires to take action as well. So can you tell us a little bit more about the donor table and how it works and this big money machine? He's created for Democrat politics in. Silicon. Valley sure. So Hoffman is not just putting his own considerable net worth into this. A lot of the secret sauce of political fundraising that happens you know oftentimes in the dark at private meetings is the art of getting other rich people to do the same thing. As you to create leverage. This is someone who started linked in all about creating social networks to drive professional change and stuff like that. So Hoffman has basically created this donor table, which is a fancy way of saying a bunch of his rich friends getting together to fund the same stuff. So Hoffman has some political help and there are people who are other billionaires who maybe don't have fulltime political help who turned Hoffman they say, Hey, read what are you funding? Can I? Get Out essentially and read in turn will frequently challenge other Billionaires Ju to do the same thing. So sort of what this creates is this network of rich people were funding. The same nonprofits are the same super pacs or the same candidates behind the scenes and what the ends up creating is some organization really well funded others don't and no one really knows this donor table exists, but it's sort of is how big money politics works, which is you know without full Disclosure and accountability and transparency. But read is sort of the node of this new political network something I'd like us to talk a little bit more about is you know there are billionaires all over the country on both sides of the political aisle pouring money into the twenty twenty election and you know I think it's important to cover silicon valley in the billionaires here. Can you explain a little bit more why Silicon Valley is of particular note why are we focusing on? Tech Billionaires. People Reid. Hoffman when we cover politics and money in two thousand twenty. So at the core of read bins takeover of the Silicon Valley money machine is this tension that re dispensing millions of dollars to house trump and yet lots of Democrats hate him and the reason is Hoffman doesn't just want to fund the Democratic Party in the traditional ways he wants to fund Democratic Party in a very silicon valley way funding start-ups that might compete with the democratic establishment. Of State Democratic parties which are the backbone of the National Democratic infrastructure. Hoffman has basically declared a war on the Democratic Party establishment and that sort of has obviously made a lot of Democrats. uncomfortable. He's willing to fund things that push the envelope that some people have ethical concerns over. It's not as easy as well. Re Hoffman spending his fortune to hours trump. There's a lot of uneasiness about him and that makes them a fascinating character the fact that how? Democrats. Both accept his money with open arms and celebrate him. As you know a bore against what he sees a fascist threat at the same time, he's being very critical people who've made their entire careers about being a professional democratic political operative and a lot of ways. Obviously, this gets at a broader criticism of Silicon Valley, which is the respect expertise. They think they know everything I think a lot of Democrats feel that way about Silicon Valley in. But SORT MINNESOTA symbolize this bigger debate about whether any of these silicon valley people know what they're talking about when they enter a field that is not business.

'Parks And Recreation' Cast Educates Wisconsin Voters On How To Vote By Mail
"Was a beloved sitcom about local government and small D democracy and in that spirit cast members got together last week to give Wisconsin voters a virtual education about voting on behalf of the state's Democratic Party. Two of the show's main actors Aubrey Plaza and Adam Scott, were the elections experts in a few moments we are gonna bring out everyone from our caste to discuss what fans of the show are all dying to hear about. Indepth minute details of Wisconsin absentee voting information right. That's right. Plaza and Scott take through the ways people can mess up when absentee voting like uploading a selfie instead of a photo I deep to request a ballot. Getting mail ballots right is a big issue More than 23,000 mail in ballots were rejected in Wisconsin in April, slightly more than Trump's margin of victory here in 2016. And young people and voters of color see their ballots rejected at higher rates. Amy Poehler, who plays Leslie Knope, the show's protagonist, had a creative way to remind voters they need to get their ballots witnessed. I'm excited about all of us beating each other's witness, that's going to be fun, and I think that's going to be a big ask, I think, and I don't want to like Try to create a meet cute, but I better be some people that get married after their mother's witnesses for these absentee ballots. Tens of thousands of people tuned in to the event, which also doubled as a fund raiser. Well, it was a new way to educate voters here in this closely divided state. The advice is consistent with what Democrats have been telling voters ever since Last month's convention make a plan to vote. Make a back up plan to vote and then make a third plan. How you're gonna vote. Chelsea Cross runs the Democratic congressional campaign. She says Voters should treat October 20th his election day this year, not November 3rd. So they have plenty of time. We don't want them to get a mail in ballot. Fill it out. Haven't be wrong and have that vote not be counted. All this comes as President. Trump has repeatedly made false claims about the security of voting by mail. Cuts to the Postal Service have raised voters concerns about how to safely cast their ballots. Election officials worry that with everything about voting becoming so polarized this year, voters may not always get accurate information.

I appreciate it so I to get into to who you are and when you look at your biography it's gripping in its gripping in its deprivation and in its success and start with the dipper the tough early years and there one line in your bio that just grabbed me and I read it several times a simple line and it was Were you said you remember eating cereal with water? Because you couldn't afford milk. Listen when I tell folks that we it was difficult and hard it was The that particular situation there are a number of occasions. Where you we go to fridge. Go get some milk. I love fruity pebbles. I also and and and my grandma would You know sometimes. She wouldn't be at home because she's working and it wouldn't be milk and so you have to put water in it I there were times Jonathan when you know my grandfather who were construction would get up in the morning needed to go to work. And the Goethe's car truck in the gas on empty in In so you know. I'm helping him trying to looking through couch cushions Looking for quarter nickel dime so he just get enough. You know at that time Gal. Gas was less than a dollar Just enough to Get to work and back and and because he needed to go to work we we had to have him go to work. It wasn't like he was going. He was on salary. Who's GONNA I mean We were we were Every Nickel County In our household himself you lived with your grandparents. Because your your mom had you when she was sixteen yes she. She had me when she was sixteen years old. And we. My mom and I both live with my grandparents for awhile and then my mom decided She got a job and got a house and moved out until then I stayed with her for a while and then she got laid off at her job and couldn't find anything here in South Carolina so she decided to go to Atlanta and When she decided to go to Atlanta the the agreement was that she would go find a job. Kind of get situated. I would see here with my grandparents until that happened but You know time pass. My mom did eventually situated. But I didn't WanNa leave my grandparents and it's because my grandparents and I had sort of a symbiotic relationship It got to the point where I feel obligated like I took care of them and they took care of me They didn't have a whole lot of education. My grandmother had an eighth grade education because she dropped out of school to pick cotton and then worked in textile insurance she did. Domestic were and my grandfather had a fourth grade education. He Stop School. He worked at a dairy and then he did construction. Most of his life up until he got diabetes but because they didn't have a lot of education and you know I was a kid. Who's the I did well in school even early on I was reading above my reading. Level you know early on and so Bills would come into the house and it was my job to read them to tell my grandparents what it was now the context for what? I was reading. It had no idea what clue was but That's what I read. And so but at the same time they took care of me they made sure I had my clothes my food and and took me to all the little things that I wanted to do. And so we had a very very close bond and in some ways my grandparents And I were is sort of a second set of parents in essence and But due to remarkable people one really horrible thing that happened was that their house was sold out from under actually taken away from them. Talk about what happened in that. So you know when I was this is when I was in Middle School Mike Grimm so the House that I was born in my grandparents decided to sell. 'em Uh my grandma was just had her heart set on a mobile home in this. When you know mobile homes are eight. They were coming out in their fancy and they had like the Jacuzzi Tub and all this other stuff even though we now know it as an investment is not something that you really want to invest. Because it didn't build any equity in thing so but nonetheless they went and they decide to get a mobile home so they took the money that a guy from the house they went to this mobile home manufacturing place and they bought one But they had to meet mortgage payments. Just like you know you would do on a house and so my The Guy who was there at the at the place he basically told my grandparents. Okay every month you bring your your payment to me and I will send it in to the And so they decide to do that. And so what you say is bring your money order because my grandfather always would go to post office and You get his paycheck. Get a cash. Go to the post office. Get a money order. My grandma would take the money order to the The Guy and he said well I'll feel it out for you so I can put all the information on it right and they did it for months and then they started getting letters that said you know Harrison. We haven't receive your payments allied and he took the my grandma and I would take a ladder to the guy and said I'll call them right now and find out what's going on. There's something wrong with their computer systems. Or whatever when on for a few more months then finally. It was a knock on the door. It was a sheriff in an. He's said Mr Miss Hairs. I'm to tell you but The bank is foreclosed on your home. And you're going to have you have until this time to move out. And they were devastated. Grandfather never really cried much had never saw. He's one of those you lose. All southern men just tough Grizzle Digest. It never cried and but that was one of the first times I saw my grandfather cry Because he would. He always believed in being diligent with his bills because his his father always told me to do that. We will. You always pay your bills and So we were. We were stuck on sleeping on couches and spare beds of friends and You know aunts cousins for a few months until my My grandma and you know as luck would have it. My grandfather also lost his job that the guy who ran the construction company rain for got ill and so they had to lay off all the folks on the companies and my grandfather also lost his job right around the same time and so finally we found this little place. Six forty four Green Street in Orangeburg. it was an a not a duplex triplex. Or something like that. And we had this one. Little two bedroom on the in and In my launch video.
