2:17

a change of plans prime minister naftali

2:19

bennett will no longer be the one to host

2:21

the american leader and said it'll

2:23

likely be a new prime minister the

2:25

current foreign minister yeah you're located

2:28

that's , after one year heading

2:30

a diverse coalition bennett announced

2:32

he's dissolving parliament or the knesset

2:34

following a series of defections from

2:36

his own party party political partner

2:38

low paid is set take over until a

2:40

new government is formed the coalition

2:43

was shaky from the start uniting

2:45

no fewer than eight political parties

2:47

right wing jews and for the first time

2:49

arabs mostly around

2:51

a single cause and that is to ousted

2:53

then prime minister benjamin minister

2:56

the move plunges the country back into political

2:58

chaos and means israelis will go back

3:00

to the polls for the fifth time in under

3:02

time years watching

3:04

this all unfold of course is netanyahu

3:07

who hopes the collapse of the government means

3:09

that he can come back on top on

3:11

shield ever knows that yahoo better than almost

3:14

anyone he wrote book bb and he's

3:16

also book at how are it's

3:18

he joins me now from jerusalem on

3:20

so always great to see you so

3:23

five elections in less than four

3:25

years what happened

3:28

they're grabbing we be either well

3:30

, happened is what's been happening for the past

3:32

four years israeli politics

3:34

israeli public life is in state of paralysis

3:37

because nearly half of the

3:39

country supports that and

3:41

the out with assess loyalty

3:44

and won't accept anyone

3:46

else in his face not even

3:48

another member of his right wing party

3:50

littlest and the other half of country

3:52

probably with his tiny majority

3:55

do not want seen it in the out back on the any

3:57

circumstance they feel that he's someone

4:00

who is corrupted public life israel they

4:02

feel he someone who is dividing

4:04

israeli society for his own political

4:06

gain and survival and

4:09

this as we've seen over the past year has made

4:11

for rather odd bedfellows

4:13

but hasn't really been enough to sustain coalition

4:17

let's talk about this past year this com

4:19

current government what was not given

4:21

a long term prognosis

4:24

or projection going for initially

4:26

again it was for one main purpose

4:28

and that was to keep benjamin netanyahu

4:30

opt out of prime ministership that

4:33

having been said and that they were able

4:35

to accomplish at least something and

4:37

that is a putting together a state

4:39

and passing as state budget what

4:42

does your value shin of this

4:44

past year and the current government

4:47

furthermore i think we have to say

4:49

that a year is is it

4:51

they said they say and and is in britain that i yeah

4:53

a week is is a long time in politics

4:56

so in israeli politics a year is a very

4:58

long time and the fact that the scottish

5:00

and even , into being in

5:02

as you said it's prognosis was not very good to

5:04

begin with the feather they survive

5:06

for an entire yeah is the team

5:08

unto itself they prove that

5:10

they can work together these very diverse

5:13

parties some them was never

5:15

sat together in coalition prove

5:17

that they could sit together and work together and

5:19

run israel and deliver state budgets

5:22

and make some really surprising

5:24

compromises over issues with

5:26

the many of the members his condition would have been anathema

5:28

if if they've been as a year ago

5:31

if they would ever vote on those issues and they

5:33

did it didn't last for more

5:35

than the ebb and daddy need some i think was

5:37

the team and the team proved that people

5:40

have been safer somebody isn't in the out is

5:42

unbeatable he could never be

5:44

ousted from the virus is of his they prove that

5:46

they could do it they couldn't do

5:48

it for too long but nothing

5:50

else return is by no means no

5:52

means conclusion

5:54

that was there one issue that led

5:56

up to the dissolution why now

5:58

the

6:00

for the main issue was in

6:02

the last few weeks of votes over

6:04

was called the west bank regulations law

6:06

which the fire every

6:08

five years the israeli parliament the knesset

6:11

renews the an extension

6:13

of israeli lot the jewish settlements in

6:15

the occupied west bank this is

6:17

law which the majority of israelis

6:19

support because it's not

6:22

it's not actually a major

6:24

change has been going over fifty five years

6:26

it's emphasis israel occupied

6:29

west bank in nineteen sixty seven but

6:31

the some of the more left wing is suzie

6:33

for the arab israeli members of code is

6:35

in this law was law step

6:37

too far in two of them voted against

6:39

it as the others abstained

6:42

others abstained was enough for the government to lose devote

6:44

answer some the more right wing members of the

6:46

cohen is especially members of and it's own

6:48

party the fact that they were in coalition

6:51

when members couldn't vote for that them

6:54

that was there casus belli to

6:56

to veil from the coalition and in

6:58

the end this was a sustainable

7:00

enter yeah you're located who will be the acting

7:03

prime minister most likely endless

7:05

to be a for a while elections are expected

7:08

in october but things are as polarizing

7:12

, paralyzing as they have been and previous

7:14

elections he could hold office for

7:16

for bit of time tell us little

7:18

bit about him hit his history

7:20

he was tv presenter journalists

7:22

and after after he is secular

7:25

bit different from naftali bennett

7:27

is secular jew and jew

7:30

, more i would say of going

7:32

charismatic how would you describe

7:35

well yeah will appear is the quintessential

7:37

product of tel aviv of israel's main

7:39

sector city a series

7:42

is it's main business and culture centers

7:44

and have night live is only airlifted was

7:47

for many is really pillar of

7:49

the israeli media community disraeli entertainment

7:51

television business and

7:54

he's a he's decides decides as ago

7:56

to go into debt go into politics

7:58

formed his own party and many

8:01

many is rising to thing is raise who oh

8:03

quite close to his send centrist

8:05

perhaps leaning less would add

8:07

for our politics views including

8:10

many of my colleagues my colleagues israeli

8:12

media didn't take him seriously a in

8:14

his first is impossibly thought oh

8:16

he's perform a the presenter to

8:18

no real substance that is will

8:20

be up at passing phase he's

8:22

very well into as in the twenty thirteen elections

8:25

will nineteen seats in the knesset which was

8:27

was astonished every was and

8:29

still people would not taking it seriously

8:31

enough but at the end it wasn't

8:33

necessarily bennett who who brought with him yeah

8:36

down when i say was yeah airlifted who

8:38

was the real architect of this

8:40

coalition so much that he

8:42

was even prepared despite being the lead

8:44

of the largest party the coalition he

8:46

was prepared to give first two years in

8:48

their a government as as prime minister

8:51

soon of taliban it in the end it was just one

8:53

yes but the fact that lipide brought

8:55

together these that is very unwieldy

8:58

almost unimaginable says he unprecedented

9:01

go doesn't have a party brought them together

9:03

managed to bring them managed to get

9:05

them all to vote for for the study besiktas

9:08

prime minister margins of managed

9:10

to maintain them for entire and

9:12

above over many israelis he's now the

9:14

man the only man the last twelve years

9:16

to beat nuts and the out that

9:18

in itself is big achievement for him and now

9:20

you going to be the acting prime minister for these four

9:22

months and this is is this is

9:24

his opportunity to get

9:26

israelis used the word prime

9:28

minister yeah or that between for many people yeah

9:31

if it is a very well known israel in

9:33

around about thirty or forty years

9:35

on the scene for the idea of

9:37

yeah airlifted being from is there is still something

9:39

that allowed is very fine fine quite difficult

9:42

to swallow but now they have four months to get used

9:44

the idea and i think that lepage

9:46

at let it has a has plan he knows

9:48

what he's doing and he

9:50

has emerged as the real challenge a to

9:52

to an attorney out

9:54

it's interesting to hear that they're them

9:56

israel i guess is is not an outlier

9:58

here and not taking the neophytes

10:00

our politicians seriously right

10:03

at their own peril for for those who

10:05

don't really support them because that happens

10:07

in both the united states with donald trump he

10:09

was a known quantity except he

10:11

was not and home politician at the time and

10:14

we've seen that in other countries and most recently

10:17

in colombia has well talk about

10:19

his challenge now and this

10:21

coalition's challenge now

10:24

in a keeping their their

10:27

uniting fight to to avoid

10:29

having prime minister former prime minister netanyahu

10:32

return to the scene he didn't take leave

10:34

the same you still and government had

10:36

of the opposition party the likud party

10:38

what what does he see now with the

10:40

opportunity to reemerge

10:42

Send it to me. has one advantage going

10:44

into this election? Is that his blocker

10:46

party. Israel has a proportional

10:48

representation electoral system, which

10:51

is a basic, a multi-party parliament,

10:53

send. It doesn't. He isn't

10:55

going to with if if he doesn't return whatever

10:58

whoever becomes next prime minister will not

11:00

just have the support of his own party who need support

11:03

of other parties as one into now

11:05

advantage is that he has

11:07

and group of parties for

11:09

right wing religious parties hope who were quite

11:11

loyal to him that voters loyal to him and

11:14

he and going into the to the and action

11:16

even those that in polls those

11:19

for parties together to do our bit

11:21

short of a number of majority they're

11:23

going to stick by the

11:25

other hand that feeds on paper may

11:27

have majority but the eight or nine

11:30

different parties that are against

11:32

us and out our as

11:35

this coalition was very diverse have

11:37

many have many they and

11:40

policy contradicts and i'll from

11:42

those parties are not as willing

11:45

to pledge loyalty two left feet

11:47

as their leader in the same way that

11:49

missing the aus block is so that these

11:51

i'm really major challenges to chinese facing

11:53

the hates but he's aware of them i think and is

11:55

working very hard as you mentioned biden

11:59

when the present come next month to israel

12:01

is will be another for the opposite if elected

12:03

to present himself as prime ministerial

12:06

there's nothing like hosting the i don't

12:08

face present in jerusalem to get

12:10

a boost your your your standing

12:13

or he also has a a

12:15

, very serious team of advisor including

12:18

american campaign advisers working

12:20

with him and think that he'll put

12:22

up a fight and within hour i would not eh

12:25

rule appeared out of winning the selection

12:29

what does this mean in the sense

12:31

of the historic nature that we saw over

12:33

the last year for the first time he had

12:35

an arab islamic party in the

12:37

knesset their as them at twenty

12:39

percent of of arab

12:41

israeli voters our are arabs

12:44

and yet they're not going to the polls

12:46

going that number that that fashion

12:48

how significant will it be to

12:51

get more arab israelis

12:53

to the polls is their goal

12:55

their to ultimately keeping us yeah from

12:57

returning there's

12:59

a very good question the turn out amongst

13:01

arab israeli citizens has been

13:04

in last twenty thirty years uniformly

13:06

lower than the general population and said he

13:08

didn't the jewish population and

13:11

it's been very difficult to predict and

13:13

, three four election is fluctuated

13:16

fluctuated and down the turnout and

13:19

the polls are now saying that they're that

13:21

the arab israeli voters are angry that they

13:23

they say that he didn't manages to

13:25

have the influence of they thought they would have in this government

13:28

through united arab list which was

13:30

at a party to the coalition and

13:32

insane time to still four months ago the

13:34

campaign to bring

13:36

them out they could the the they may have

13:38

another chance is being called

13:40

the experiment the factors the first time

13:42

the only time so far there was

13:44

an hour apart the in the coalition on

13:47

the quest is what woo voters feel

13:49

of when the election iowa or hell

13:52

because could be the end of october the early november

13:54

early date as the had been set moves i feel

13:56

this was an experiment that failed

13:59

and therefore some not the repeated as hard

14:01

as you between jews and government always

14:03

is something that israeli voters by

14:06

jewish and have are prepared to

14:08

try again and as we have to

14:10

yell if it is hoping the city on the other hand

14:12

is has already been gunning for this and he's

14:15

calling this the government which relied

14:17

and terrorists supporters the government which was controlled

14:19

by the muslim brotherhood his victory

14:22

basically relies on the

14:24

majority of israel you saying this is it

14:26

17:53

on television for the nation to

18:11

they could be on a for having us today you

was home just like every other american

18:20

ah during the pandemic watching

18:23

bank from from the news and

18:26

thinking as film go what

shortly after that i got a call from

18:36

our producer kenya barris who has

18:38

relationship with ben crump asking me

18:48

then when you are approach with this idea

18:50

what was your initial reaction

18:53

where will kill you bears who

18:56

created the television show black years

18:59

ah approach may i

19:02

was a little hesitant must be honest

19:04

because i'm used to myself

19:07

been out on the

19:09

front line but this

19:11

would also involve my family

19:13

my wife and my daughter so i

19:15

had to think about very seriously but

19:18

then when i talked to my manager

19:20

camembert you with net

19:22

flicks was all friend was

19:24

me to be able

19:26

to make the case they gave

19:29

me a global bullhorn to

19:31

speak truth to power so

19:34

i understand that is where

19:36

we have to do every

19:38

time we get an opportunity beyond

19:40

that we have to speak truth power

19:43

to let them know that our children

19:45

lives matter

19:47

well i know that that you are are

19:49

do not be yourself as the

19:51

person as the story as the

19:53

victim here as you're representing families

19:56

of those who were wronged

19:58

at the hands of police for the most part

20:00

and that's how we've gotten to know you

20:03

on the but but knowing a little bit about

20:05

you i think adds more to

20:07

to story who not

20:09

only their background but yours and

20:11

we find out about yours we find out about

20:14

as you mentioned your wife that you'd met

20:16

in college and you're young daughter

20:18

and your mother talk

20:20

about your your history your family background

20:24

and in what you even a admit

20:26

his is sort of the pressure of navy you put on

20:28

yourself to to aim

20:30

high to make family proud

20:32

your grandmother who raised you grandmother your cousins

20:35

your your siblings to go to college to go

20:37

to law school you

20:40

know it really is about

20:42

the liberal know tour

20:45

the legacy of our ancestors

20:47

those people who were in the

20:49

cotton fields during slavery who

20:51

pray for us and they

20:54

vision they had a vision

20:56

of what life would be for

20:58

their children their children in their

21:00

children's children even though

21:02

they hadn't met with sought in reality

21:04

for black people as so

21:06

i do care of this burden of san

21:09

that i am trying to make

21:11

our ancestors look down from heaven

21:13

and be proud that we are

21:16

fight and for all of

21:18

our children to have an

21:20

equal opportunity life and

21:22

liberty and pursuit of

21:24

happiness at think so

21:26

much about mob upbringing and

21:28

where my mother raised me

21:30

my brother's as a single mother

21:33

working two jobs ah

21:35

sacrifice and everything for

21:37

us to have hold

21:39

on a table and a roof over i

21:41

hear our hope in our hearts

21:44

as so when she looks

21:46

at the up the of that the

21:48

brilliant nadia how

21:50

grim has produced for the world to

21:52

see my mother on

21:54

earth and my grandmother and ever

21:56

kissed say that our efforts were not

21:59

in vain faber this black

22:01

chow has mean in in the world

22:03

that we are not is significant

22:06

that we are not irrelevant and

22:08

we are inferior to no one

22:11

nadia captures that she also captured

22:13

times a bit more joyous

22:15

and and entertaining

22:18

capturing , history of playing sports

22:20

dancing with your college fraternity brothers

22:23

and will we see all of that in

22:25

this film i think a lot of people would be surprised

22:27

at just the number of caseload

22:30

that come your way you and your colleagues

22:32

there and your partner's benny

22:35

get about five hundred calls

22:37

five hundred about taking on cases

22:39

clearly you can't take all of them what

22:42

is it that you look for in deciding

22:44

which cases you will

22:46

actually represent

22:50

certainly be out over toll

22:52

nadia rms

22:55

student of history and my personal hero

22:57

was thurgood marshall i

23:00

remember reading that thurgood

23:02

marshall gal lot calls as

23:04

wales and he would say

23:06

that he and and of a c p legal

23:09

defense of would take cases

23:11

that shot the concepts and

23:14

i use that as my litmus test

23:16

is whales were bama take a case

23:18

and that because he can't i

23:21

say obama bomb you can't acorn

23:23

all of them but would you can do

23:26

there's try to find those cases

23:29

that was shot with a conscience and

23:31

were have the greatest impact

23:33

on larger society like

23:35

tray bomb martin's case like

23:37

of michael brown case in ferguson

23:39

were was hands up don't shoot

23:42

like a brianna taylor a mod

23:44

obvious early george floyd

23:46

you're looking for those cases where

23:49

the even though there are other hundred

23:51

black and brown people would kill

23:54

and just is horrific ways

23:56

you know these cases if

23:58

we can get the equal justice

24:00

for damn it will have an impact

24:03

on all of those names that you

24:05

don't know about and bass my

24:07

mission every day to be an unapologetic

24:10

defender black right

24:13

that liberty black

24:15

humanity

24:17

the alpha learn that you started your career as a rent

24:19

lawyer and that to police misconduct

24:21

cases only represent five to ten percent

24:24

of your clientele but again

24:26

sadly the head is how we

24:28

have come to know you as nation

24:31

by speaking out not you

24:33

really capture well the emotional

24:35

toll not only that this

24:37

has on families of the victims

24:39

which we have seen following their stories but

24:42

stories but ben as well and

24:44

some of that the physical threats

24:46

that com his way to we learn

24:48

that he has a bodyguard with him we

24:51

have a clip from the film i want our

24:53

viewers i've got a desperate

24:55

last week if

24:57

a lot of people who don't

25:00

want see

25:01

that people do well i get claim

25:04

we need to stay at our place

25:08

the staff they get

25:10

their comments on social

25:12

media pj

25:14

the mad town begun that black

25:16

lives matter ah i'm

25:18

will shoot you day it aswell for

25:20

for now the status of

25:22

we turn it over to fps

25:25

and key point the

25:27

on the one hand the temperature so high

25:29

in this country on so many issues

25:31

so much polarization violence

25:33

has gone up threads coming

25:35

from both sides of the aisle saw

25:38

the one hand it shouldn't be surprising but surprising

25:40

but i guess it kind of was least for me as viewer

25:42

to hear that been chrome finds himself in

25:44

that position as well was position for

25:46

you you

25:48

know it

25:50

would not entirely surprising

25:52

to me that there

25:54

are people out there that you know may wish

25:56

harm on attorney crump because

26:00

again really see him in the forefront

26:02

of a lot of these very high profile cases

26:04

was we made an effort

26:06

to show in the film that there

26:09

are many many different sides the cases funny

26:11

something thought i think about black

26:14

and case of the black farmers and

26:17

eat out even though he's

26:19

mostly known for these high profile

26:21

been successful for thesis that it

26:24

out of very polarizing

26:26

ah he don't he does so much more

26:28

than that and it was important for us to show that

26:30

throughout the entire film i really

26:33

am

26:34

impress me van to just say

26:37

your connection with all of these families

26:39

and cases that that you take on

26:41

you you really become invested in them

26:43

in their stories and getting to know them

26:46

and tell them early on listen

26:48

they're going to find everything they can

26:50

to bring down your loved one to

26:52

two to drag him through the mud to say

26:54

that they were a bad person deserved whatever

26:56

came their way and their little things

26:58

that you pick up on when one of victims

27:00

daughter says that her father loved to play chess

27:02

and you said oh you have go to media

27:05

and say that because you don't hear many stories

27:07

of black men playing chess

27:09

you also say if you want justice

27:12

you have to expose your heart i'm

27:14

are you concerned at all what when

27:17

you are putting these families

27:19

and in really encouraging them

27:21

to go out and face a lot of

27:23

that they're harsh realities that that being

27:25

so public the media can kinda

27:28

spouse well

27:30

beyond that the only thing i know

27:32

to do his we

27:34

have to

27:36

put the case in court of public

27:38

opinion because when we look at the

27:40

court of law the

27:43

history the american

27:45

courts have told us that

27:47

black people don't get equal

27:49

treatment we don't get equal

27:51

justice so i understand that

27:53

the court of public opinion in

27:55

many ways we're have an influence

27:58

on the court of law so

28:00

if you don't want you have a family

28:03

member who's been a jesely

28:05

kill to be just swept under

28:07

the rug and forgotten about

28:09

then fortunately

28:12

you have to grieve air fight

28:15

at the same time it is so

28:17

unfair because often

28:19

to as when these ah

28:22

the verge of key or bad the very

28:24

people who are supposed to protect

28:26

and serve their that the

28:28

shark

28:30

the year you can that

28:32

of for to let too much time

28:35

pass because that would simply forget

28:37

about you and so that's why

28:40

we tell them you gotta tell them that

28:42

you love what was person

28:44

that you have what would deserve

28:46

it was worthy of the benefit

28:48

of consideration the benefit

28:51

of the doubt most importantly

28:54

the benefit of humanity

28:56

and that's what syllable really

28:58

as about beyond fact that

29:00

i'm assume lawyer and that the criminal

29:02

lawyer is about the title

29:04

itself silva

29:06

that we have been gauges silver behavior

29:09

now more than ever we

29:11

up champion we're

29:13

putting up and people been tolerant vs

29:15

this white supremacy mentality

29:18

i just i don't want to set of to

29:20

and without talking about george floyd which is how

29:22

the film begins and and how

29:24

it ends and you talk about a that

29:27

that what keeps you up at night some of the nightmares

29:29

that you have said that you're just running

29:31

out of time where are we as

29:33

nation now two years after

29:36

his death well

29:39

we're make an air camilla progress

29:42

and we have to understand that the

29:44

power struggle as the great

29:46

negro abolitionists frederick

29:49

douglass without struggle there

29:51

can be no progress

29:53

so as , as

29:55

reconsider their stands up as

29:58

feet from our

30:00

where we were based or were likely

30:02

to have overcome we've overcome

30:04

slavery we overcome the metal francis

30:07

we have become segregation we'll become

30:09

jim crow and what it tells

30:11

me when we get such lamb

30:13

what victory george florets

30:15

that it sets a precedent where

30:18

it care about children the

30:21

enemy's er be quality were

30:23

not win this war it

30:25

is the people have good morals

30:27

and values who were ultimately

30:30

win this war and our children happen

30:32

know that based on precedent

30:34

that equality justice

30:37

will win

30:38

it's a real eye opening documentary benjamin

30:41

crump and nadia hall grand and you

30:43

also make sure to include that that when

30:45

police do the right thing you

30:47

make light of note of that as well and we

30:49

see with the examples of that in some of cases

30:51

32:47

what would january six public hearings

32:49

pass the halfway mark what have we learned

32:51

and how engaged is the american public

32:54

lifelong republican sarah long well as

32:56

the cofounder of defending democracy

32:58

together and executive director

33:00

of the republican accountability project

33:02

she has been hosting weekly focus group since

33:05

the start of the investigations gauging

33:07

political sentiments across the spectrum

33:09

she joins walter isaacson to discuss the

33:11

impact of the hearings are having as well

33:14

as her take away from the stunning texas

33:16

state g o p convention this past

33:18

weekend that you bayona

33:20

and sarah longwell welcome to the show then

33:23

for adamant

33:24

you run focus groups even do a podcast

33:27

on focus groups and your the publisher

33:29

the ball walk want to talk about

33:31

some of those focus groups you

33:33

been a republican but republican

33:35

against trump and you seen in

33:37

your focus groups i've i've read

33:40

that they tend still support trump

33:42

the to

33:44

recently tell me what you're finding

33:46

right now

33:47

really interesting any it's you know i don't

33:49

wouldn't say that trump voters have stopped supporting

33:52

trump's but but something interesting has started

33:54

happening since the january six

33:56

hearings began prior this

33:58

and i i do a full cost of

34:00

this group a week for not always the trump voters that

34:02

they often are and one of the

34:04

things that's been very consistent including

34:06

after january six is that usually

34:08

about half the group of trump voters

34:10

bought from run again and twenty twenty four one

34:13

the reasons i've never quite party argument

34:15

from some my friends that

34:17

are you know trump is losing his grip on the party

34:19

because i hear from voters all the time who

34:22

are excited to see trump won again but

34:24

in the last two groups of trump voters

34:26

that i've done with ah

34:28

the hearing kind of in background

34:31

the zero people feel both groups

34:33

wanted run again and twenty twenty four

34:36

and i'm not saying that that's mean focus

34:38

groups kind of their a step above anecdotal

34:40

on my to have so

34:43

consistently heard from

34:45

you know at least half a good way to see to

34:47

run again the having to in row where

34:49

i'm nobody wants to see trump run again

34:52

would it makes me think years the

34:55

voters could they they don't say that don't

34:57

like trump they think that the january sixth

34:59

earrings are kind of a dog pony show

35:01

arm and so it's not that the information

35:03

is making them not support trump

35:06

i think more likely what's happening

35:08

is its reminding people that trump

35:10

supporting him the lot work

35:12

as lot of drama and auditors

35:15

you know any in there's to sort of a tendency

35:17

for out there was attending these groups just

35:19

don't want move on was in the january experience

35:22

but also move on from from and is

35:24

difference from what i've been here a grievously

35:26

do they were been watching the january six

35:28

hearings fox not been covering

35:30

them fully there are so it was

35:32

interesting in the in the first group there were three people

35:35

who said they started on the fence from them off

35:37

because the tea party then it was witch hunt but

35:39

think was interesting to me is you would

35:41

be the rocks ah

35:43

i think how often the things we're talking

35:46

about in washington ah

35:48

ya that everybody's talking about and then i

35:50

go into a focus group nobody

35:52

nobody even knows what we're talking about i've never heard

35:54

it on and in this case everyone's

35:56

heard about the hearings everyone knows that they're

35:58

going on you know their

36:01

they think it's more like impeach managers

36:03

more trying to get from ah but

36:05

the fact it's fox is

36:07

being forced to kind of put

36:10

up defense for what's being

36:12

for means that it is breaking frills it

36:14

is kind of bleeding into their coverage because

36:17

they're having to have people like very loud or know gone

36:19

ah you know who's trying to sort put up defensive

36:21

himself for leading torture to capital ah

36:24

prior to the january that are insurrection

36:26

and so i think the even

36:28

though i think i think that the republicans thought

36:32

like many other things voters would

36:34

just tuna salad then instead

36:36

because it has been why

36:38

drama film quite well executed

36:41

it is kind of people are very aware

36:43

of it and it's it's raising think this idea

36:45

of just and yet we

36:47

get past this i wanna move on from it and

36:49

and for republicans that means

36:51

moving on from showed

36:54

you move on for slump ah

36:56

do they have any preferences

36:59

, when i notice add rhonda santas

37:01

is truly trying

37:03

to be trump without trump that

37:06

does get that lane would have

37:08

aids and gaza florida

37:10

governor to santas oh yeah did

37:13

you could have that lane ah i'm you

37:15

know it is arms again with

37:17

the idea that some and i'm surprised what

37:19

people now and what they don't know to have

37:21

so many republicans across the

37:23

country know who the governor of

37:25

florida is the is actually

37:28

very is is very interesting lot of

37:30

actually prefer to don't know ah

37:32

you know state level officials around census

37:34

is superstar saw in conservative

37:36

world and think people see him

37:38

as ah a fighter

37:41

like trump is a fighter and

37:43

somebody who has that pugnacious personality

37:45

which they like they like see the

37:47

the appetite now my republican

37:50

voters is very clear that

37:52

they watched as bad as style

37:54

that's a seeing the face this increase

37:56

from their politicians but he

37:58

also said he run and the would have

38:00

eight years this is something people bring up in focus groups

38:02

i was fighting for saying is there like you know really

38:04

like track of love to see

38:07

him you know revenge for get reelected

38:09

when you only have

38:10

for years they've got the or hearings

38:12

focus quite bit on my

38:14

pants the vice president who

38:17

is you know been a long time conservative

38:20

but doesn't have the trump pugnacious

38:22

nissan of course got on the wrong

38:24

side of trump when eve or refused

38:26

to block the certification of the

38:28

election are coming out the hearing

38:30

that people have opinions about

38:32

a former vice president pence

38:36

know it , to say this is the

38:38

number one choice that you hear if trump doesn't

38:40

run again and twenty twenty four my senses

38:42

like the last year it's

38:44

interesting how the weight these

38:46

focus groups republicans across the boards

38:49

are mainly of people who formerly voted

38:51

for trump no no no so in

38:53

was referencing right now these or

38:55

trump supporters say they at least twenty

38:57

twenty trump supporters they voted for him and twenty

38:59

twenty ah and and

39:01

any most cases also and twenty sixteen arm

39:04

but they

39:06

they were it's it's interesting to me

39:08

how know my pants here

39:10

seen either he should have no constituency

39:13

on he either is seen

39:16

as being too much of a colonel

39:18

lapdog the trump somebody who just stood and

39:20

nodded didn't really cut out his on

39:22

profile the war he is

39:24

seen as insufficiently loyalty to trump

39:26

on and so he he doesn't really

39:28

have with core group people

39:31

who are excited about i'm mike pence

39:33

run it's of he is one the names

39:35

that comes up very seldom

39:37

are in focus groups of trump voters

39:40

as somebody they like to see run and twenty twenty four

39:42

and it's part because they just think he's nope

39:45

toes on interesting it goes back this

39:48

idea of iran to kansas is just much

39:50

more and the mold of what people have come to decide

39:53

that excites them that they want see the

39:55

wanda sandoz as in this pugnacious

39:57

mild ah a who else

40:00

the republican party seems like site

40:02

your focus groups either a republican

40:05

focus groups or trump supporting

40:07

republicans focus groups

40:09

there was you know is sometimes i'm so

40:11

we do lot of groups with what i would call swing voters

40:13

farm and and that and and

40:15

swing voters they voted for trump and sixteen for

40:18

the book voted voted for by and twenty twenty

40:20

because they just couldn't take trump you know these

40:22

the people who put five and over

40:24

the over top and pennsylvania and

40:26

michigan wisconsin ah arizona

40:29

georgia and they tend to

40:31

be kind of the old school for additional republicans

40:33

with distancing themselves very

40:35

much republicans and so and those groups

40:37

you here's somebody like un nikki haley ah

40:40

you know or you

40:42

know my pump hey i'll are comes

40:44

up from time to time ah

40:46

and enough an interesting one because you know i

40:48

think that that she's not necessarily somebody

40:50

who you're using voters would be super

40:52

aware of what for people who are plugged in ah

40:55

my compare with somebody that they're looking at

40:58

i can sky that

41:00

comes up

41:01

for ninety nine both

41:03

, in trump voting for trump focus

41:05

groups and any am and

41:07

swing voter focus groups your the

41:09

publisher the bulwark an online

41:11

magazine i read off and and

41:14

our lives cheney is one the heroes

41:16

of that crowd and i would say correct

41:18

me if i'm wrong tell me how you're saying

41:21

of congress woman list donates

41:23

has diabetes here and ah

41:25

yes you certainly her of mine arm mine

41:27

mine arm all of trot

41:29

the sort the trump's here's crying

41:31

for some kind of leadership for somebody

41:33

in there with public and party to say something and

41:36

so not only her sort

41:38

of clear eyed moral prosecution

41:40

of with donald trump did but

41:43

also for willingness to do it

41:45

your she's facing reelection and one other things

41:47

that things saw for republicans over and over again

41:50

was an unwillingness to take on trump is they

41:52

were worried about then an issue

41:54

when his us she's ready to take that

41:56

that's clear ah you know the prosecuting

41:59

is urine you're not helping her back

42:01

in her home state of wyoming and

42:03

i'm and and she may very well ah

42:05

lose that race but she is absolutely

42:07

doing the right thing and not only

42:10

she doing the thing

42:12

that's right she's doing an extremely well

42:14

i think the big difference in the effectiveness

42:17

ah your of the differential of effect

42:19

of this between both of the

42:21

impeachment hearings and then this january sixth

42:23

year and the addition not

42:26

only of liz cheney who was try to leading the

42:28

charge but the what they are

42:30

doing is they are putting

42:32

forward credible conservative

42:35

messengers the people that

42:37

are putting on the stance of people that they are showing

42:39

you in their in their video clips these

42:42

people in trump's world or these

42:44

are people from conservative that incredibly

42:46

well respected you know if uma in

42:48

conservative world may not realize just

42:50

how important michael ledeen guess

42:53

ah the judge who testified in the last

42:55

year and he has a heightened other

42:58

conservative legal community very powerful

43:00

federalist society know he's revered

43:02

there and so for him to

43:04

not just testify but but in his

43:06

written statements say that this

43:09

president is a danger the

43:11

party is danger these are incredible

43:13

and i think could get last

43:16

maybe about how much for a

43:18

conservative who you know

43:20

never like trump one hundred seems that is done what they

43:22

could to accommodate him how much michael

43:24

ledeen saying that causes

43:26

them to rethink their choices ah

43:29

because he is somebody that matters a

43:31

lot of and so that's that i think it's been

43:33

that the real effectiveness of this committee is

43:35

using trump's own people

43:38

the conservative legal community ah

43:40

people like grab raffles burger ah

43:42

all conservatives to prosecute this case

43:44

against from do you think

43:46

there's room and republican party

43:49

in the near future for lane

43:51

elaine that is a list chain me

43:55

judge michael loot eggs ball walk

43:57

magazine lane or you think

43:59

they were probably the body is totally rejected

44:01

that yeah

44:03

i mean it here's the thing that the lane is

44:05

very there are it exists ah

44:08

and you know people like liz cheney

44:10

and adam kinsey earth ah gov

44:12

larry hogan people who been unwilling

44:14

to bend the knee to trump and

44:16

their vincent they are funny

44:18

there's been handful ah the i

44:20

think that said it's a it's a

44:23

for a for small lane could be

44:25

crowded especially for thinking of at of it and

44:27

twenty twenty four term you just said

44:29

there were plenty and then you corrected yourself

44:32

and you said there are some oil and

44:34

out there more republicans

44:36

yeah

44:38

the you

44:40

know trump disrupted something

44:42

very deep ah in the republican

44:44

party he changed in

44:46

his image bad i'm

44:49

the one of things that think is interesting

44:51

about the twenty twenty two races his

44:54

arm think it's just starting come into focus

44:56

for people how grumpy

44:59

the candidates are that are emerging from their primary

45:02

they are running on campaigns that based

45:04

on the stop steal lie ah

45:06

but they running in trump's in a cheetah

45:09

with same i'm sort of aggressive

45:11

posture by telling lies ah

45:13

you know utterances there wasn't an

45:15

ad by eric lightens ah

45:17

i'm from , who's currently

45:20

leading the path of republicans there are

45:22

and it was him with a tactical team

45:24

all heavily armed saying that they

45:26

were going right or hunting or

45:28

and rhino is a term that has used

45:30

i hear all the time the focus groups that means republican

45:33

in name only ah which they

45:35

would apply to we the people like me but

45:37

also to people like mitch mcconnell ah

45:39

or susan collins or basically anyone

45:41

that they don't see sufficiently matter and

45:43

so when you ask the question is

45:45

there room for there room like hostler

45:48

publisher are you more prestigious are really

45:50

is no that's the street for the answer

45:52

would make jokes so but you we beg of the georgia

45:55

results you mention brampton

45:57

burger but also gov kim yeah

46:00

the georgia was just

46:02

is a terrific outcome i'm

46:05

a since you brought raffles burger without

46:07

win outright was incredible i just don't

46:09

want people to overeat those results the thing

46:12

about it

46:14

he was a very

46:16

popular is a very popular

46:18

incumbent governor the idea that that

46:21

that david perdue who challenged him

46:23

running specifically on a stop the steel platform

46:26

at the behest donald trump and with trump's endorsement

46:28

he was he had just lost senate recent

46:30

georgia he is not well like

46:33

a he didn't have platform besides trump's

46:35

endorsement or he never really got

46:37

off the ground and as result trump was embarrassed

46:39

by it as can never really went into the state

46:42

and rallied for purdue and and

46:44

took on kept directly or took on rapids

46:46

burger and and and two things

46:48

happened georgia that i think made a real difference for

46:50

camp one is he passed

46:53

what what they would call election

46:55

integrity below their in the state and it

46:57

was very controversial when he did it you

46:59

know coca-cola major league baseball people came

47:01

out against it which allowed camps

47:03

to look like he was really defending you

47:05

know the integrity of elections

47:08

and then the other thing i heard this in every

47:10

focus group i didn't georgia was

47:12

about how what did your job they thought he

47:14

did on cove it it's very similar to run

47:16

the fantasies appeal which

47:18

is i think that sometimes people underestimate how

47:20

much keeping things open during cove it mattered

47:23

to especially republican but also

47:25

center right independence and

47:27

tempted that and so the circumstances

47:29

in georgia were very specific

47:32

and i think they are not people shouldn't overeat

47:34

and think that can be replicated across

47:37

a bunch of other places if you look at michigan

47:39

who could wisconsin if look pennsylvania and

47:41

if you look at just lots of other races arizona

47:44

has one of the most anti democracy slates

47:46

a that you can imagine and in this environment that

47:48

saying something with cari late as governor

47:51

a blake masters of the senate level mark

47:53

fincham at the secretary state level these are all people

47:56

who are the front runners right now on

47:58

the republican ticket holders them are major

48:00

stop the steel conspiracy

48:02

theory candidates and so you know

48:05

i think that were

48:07

happening georgia was great is any very important

48:09

if important if republicans when they're the the have

48:11

pro democracy republicans by

48:14

they will be the exception rather than the all

48:16

use the they give trump is taking over

48:19

up in various places were

48:21

less talk about texas and the texan

48:23

republican convention said just happened

48:26

in the past week ah

48:28

they weren't for things like secession

48:30

being a possibility that biden

48:32

they referred to as not legitimate president's

48:35

they said homosexual ah

48:37

activities or an abnormal lifestyle

48:41

choice they wanted to abolish

48:43

the voting rights act stupid

48:45

a leader of log cabin republicans

48:47

which supports gay republicans what

48:50

happened in texas and and is that

48:52

a real sentiments of the republican

48:54

party these days yeah

48:57

i mean look i think

48:59

becoming part of texas you appears that is

49:01

that normal lifestyle choice i

49:03

think that the that the interesting

49:06

thing about success but a lot of other

49:08

state party the the

49:10

republican party is radicalizing like

49:12

that is just that is the true thing that's happening

49:14

on and one of the places

49:17

where are the sort ground zero

49:19

for the radicalisation he's nice

49:21

state parties in arizona you have very

49:23

similar dynamic where people who

49:25

kind of run a d republican

49:27

apparatus of the state level

49:29

are really out there ah i'm and

49:32

and they not just not

49:34

just they support crop from

49:36

kind of emboldened them to be

49:38

on the most extreme the

49:41

versions of themselves and kind of put it out there

49:43

rights which i think what's different is

49:45

that the i'm sure they'd always

49:47

believed right it said that being gay

49:49

is never a lifestyle choice but even

49:51

they wanted to go ahead and put it in platform

49:53

cisco routers because that

49:56

probably wouldn't have been popular wouldn't have flown

49:58

five years ago when it's seemed like lot

50:00

of the the gay marriage fight was settled

50:03

in republicans were saying he will need to move on from this

50:05

this is a popular a more of truck

50:07

really bowl the end ah people

50:09

to say a wheelchair if is politically correct

50:11

we're going to say that you know we want

50:13

to succeed where her or him say that

50:15

that are being gay is abnormal and

50:17

that is just that's very typical for the

50:20

state level parties i don't think texas

50:22

is the last place maybe not everybody's gonna want

50:24

to succeed that's a kind a sexless

50:26

specific sentiment ah maybe but

50:29

i do think that has the lot more

50:31

of it'll run dissenters has been leading one

50:33

these culture wars down florida with

50:35

don't say gave else i think you're going to see more

50:38

of that kind of things that are reemerging

50:40

after being dormant for yeah

50:43

a little under a decade but ah

50:45

but but mostly dorm and and and sort

50:47

of put tibet is an issue sarah long

50:50

thank so much for joining us for

50:52

having me and

50:53

now a big day for parents who want their

50:56

little kids vaccinated against cove it

50:58

shots are rolling out today for american

51:00

children over six months old now

51:02

this comes as the virus continues to wreak

51:04

havoc by infecting and reinfected

51:07

and refusing to go away the

51:09

good news though is that hospitalizations

51:11

are down the are now with more

51:13

information on this is doctor eric topel

51:15

cardiologists at scripps research

51:17

doctor grey to have you on

51:19

so covert killing about two hundred and

51:21

fifty americans day and

51:23

that is still two hundred fifty more than we want

51:26

to see but it is

51:28

well below the high numbers that

51:30

we saw just last year and early on into

51:32

the pandemic what why do

51:34

you think we are seeing that number

51:36

continue to draw

51:39

well first grade to be with you be on i

51:41

the deaths i think if our the coming

51:43

down throughout the world because

51:45

there's lots of infection induced immunity

51:47

and of course lots vaccination so

51:49

stats the good news the problem

51:52

however is that the infections

51:54

and the reinspections are mounting

51:57

and as because of these amir khan severity

51:59

so we should take any comfort

52:01

in the lower death toll because

52:04

we have so much of sickness

52:06

and long coveted to reckon

52:08

right because as a sub variances amir

52:10

khan spin off cause more than one in three

52:13

colbert nineteen infections in the us just

52:15

last week what can we expect

52:17

to see as new know what we're entering

52:19

the summer months now but we've got the

52:22

fall and winter just around the corner

52:25

where we also some problems the weeks ahead

52:28

we are seeing as of today the

52:30

cdc updated deeds be

52:32

a for five so variance in

52:34

the us over thirty five percent

52:36

now and these are the worst immune

52:39

escape variants that we seen since the

52:41

pandemic started so that

52:43

means they can i to transmit

52:46

, than any a form

52:48

version of the virus and they're

52:50

going to cause a lotta rain sections no

52:52

less new infections and so

52:54

this and so problem right now in

52:56

the months ahead and you're getting to in fall

52:58

and beyond we may face a whole

53:01

new variant and beyond

53:03

our comments the right now we have deal

53:05

with the suburbs and be a for

53:07

five which is on the rise

53:09

exponentially growing in this country

53:11

as well as in europe and australia and other

53:13

places around the world is causing

53:15

lot of trouble

53:17

the deal here more more about these three

53:19

and sections and they become sort

53:21

of a mainstay now it's

53:24

, normal to hear people that you know that

53:26

that have been vaccinated fully vaccinated and boosted

53:29

and get infected wise and

53:31

that leads the question of the efficacy of

53:33

the current vaccines

53:36

are people now going to be

53:38

seeing some tweaks in

53:40

vaccines tweaks the months to com

53:44

where we sure have needed that for some time

53:46

that is a pan beta current virus

53:48

vaccine and nasal vaccines

53:51

but unfortunately the wheels and

53:53

the resources to do that have just not

53:55

been ah of our parent

53:58

and so what we're gonna see the in the late

54:00

summer fall is an armor kind

54:02

specific vaccine towards this

54:05

be a one the original omics on the

54:07

problem beyond it is we don't know

54:09

whether that vaccine is going to make

54:11

much of difference because were already on

54:13

to be a foreign fi os and

54:15

there's not a lot across immunity between the

54:17

original honor france and one that's

54:19

and got going to dominance

54:22

right now

54:23

how long does immunity last

54:26

from a being vaccinated

54:28

or recently boosted or be

54:30

having been vaccinated boosted but then again

54:33

infected

54:35

well that's another good question because

54:37

over time throughout the to after

54:39

years of pandemic ah the

54:42

immunity has dropped some

54:44

and that's because this virus

54:46

has continued to mutate in

54:49

a bigger is more evasive to our

54:51

immune response sauce initially

54:53

the vaccines were lasted much

54:56

longer to prevent against infection

54:58

and says positions and desks

55:00

now we're looking at few months

55:02

three or four months that's why we need

55:04

much better vaccines and also ways

55:07

to block transmission such as

55:09

the ideal way of naval that seemed

55:11

so the durability vaccines

55:13

is reduced and also

55:15

importantly were seen drop

55:18

in protection from the major outcomes

55:20

remember back up through delta

55:22

and we saw ninety five percent prevention

55:25

of has positions and das at

55:27

best right now that's in the e

55:29

eighty five percent that's significant

55:31

drop down soaks we really do need

55:34

better vaccines and better protection

55:36

that

55:37

is a significant drop down so what your

55:39

reaction when you hear people the

55:41

anecdotally say how i just got over

55:43

or my kid just got over it battle at least by

55:45

us three or four months immunity or right

55:47

and saying that

55:49

i know i did that the problem

55:52

is miss ties in well we did the

55:54

chosen vaccine if

55:57

you hadn't ah mclennan section which almost

55:59

half of them the and did have dot

56:01

was during a be a one sided the

56:03

turns out that are immune response to

56:05

that is very narrow

56:07

and specific and that's why

56:09

is really important for children the did

56:11

vaccinate because the they're just

56:13

not going is protected from the

56:16

and on recline and section and

56:18

, order to be protected against the current

56:20

variants of armor crime no less ones

56:23

that we may be facing in months ahead

56:25

it's really imperative that we did

56:27

our kids and now the

56:29

youngest children to be vaccinated

56:32

oh this is really the problem

56:34

of that the virus just

56:36

getting more or evasive

56:39

to our immune system overtime

56:41

yeah we've been talking about those fortunate enough

56:43

to have access to vaccines up

56:45

until today those five and under

56:47

did not fall into that category fortunately

56:50

they do but you look at these surveys

56:52

doctor and less than quarter parents in this

56:54

age group say that they are willing to have their

56:56

child vaccinated right now

56:58

how alarming is that and what can be done

57:01

to bring that level

57:04

it is really alarming because

57:06

you know we've had vaccines for children

57:08

five to eleven incredibly safe

57:11

a and the uptake has been you know less

57:13

than a a third less than thirty

57:15

percent and we're looking at potentially

57:17

even less a uptake for children

57:20

under fine but what people don't

57:22

understand parents that

57:24

, have been over two and half

57:27

million infections among children

57:29

less than age for for there's been

57:31

lots of has positions particularly during

57:33

amr crime ninety percent of which were

57:35

from now with cove it and

57:37

have forced those of children were

57:39

wound up in the in the intensive care

57:42

unit a half of them were

57:44

perfectly healthy with no underlying

57:46

conditions whatsoever we've had more

57:48

than two hundred deaths among

57:50

children less than five years and

57:53

there's long corporate issues that were gonna

57:55

57:57

58:00
