0:27
we're gonna talk about the new raft of legal
0:29
issues that Trump is now having to contend with.
0:32
And I interview Senator Tammy Baldwin about Trump's promises
0:34
to again overturn the ACA, which she helped write.
0:36
And an interesting tidbit about her likely Republican opponent
0:38
in 2024. I'm Brian
0:40
Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie. So
0:45
we've got a new major legal hurdle for Donald
0:47
Trump. At a time where he's trying
0:50
to figure out ways to avoid his ongoing lawsuits,
0:52
a judge has now ruled that he can be
0:54
sued in civil lawsuits related to the insurrection on
0:56
January Which means three
0:58
existing January 6th lawsuits are now allowed
1:00
to proceed, including those brought by Capitol
1:02
police officers and two members of Congress.
1:04
It also means that other lawsuits may
1:06
be able to proceed as well, meaning
1:08
that far from figuring out ways to
1:10
wind down his court appearances by seeking
1:13
to get his criminal cases thrown out,
1:15
he may very well find himself contending
1:17
with half a dozen civil lawsuits over
1:19
his incitement of the insurrection on January
1:21
6th. The decision was handed down
1:23
by an appeals court that said that Donald Trump
1:25
does not have presidential immunity, which has been Trump's
1:27
ongoing excuse that he's protected from
1:29
litigation because everything he did as president
1:31
was protected as an official duty. The
1:34
court didn't agree with the opinion laying out
1:36
that not everything a president does in office
1:38
is protected from liability. Quote, the
1:40
president does not spend every minute of
1:42
every day exercising official responsibilities. And when
1:44
he acts outside the functions of his
1:47
office, he does not continue to enjoy
1:49
immunity. When he acts in an unofficial
1:51
private capacity, he is subject to civil
1:53
suits like any private citizen. And
1:55
just gonna go out on a limb here, but
1:58
Donald Trump lying that a free and fair election
2:00
was stolen. and simply because he wasn't happy with
2:02
the results and then inciting an insurrection against the
2:04
seat of ... government to prevent the electoral vote
2:06
certification doesn't exactly fall into the bucket of
2:09
official ... presidential duties I mean think about
2:11
it by Trump's logic he could command his
2:13
supporters to shoot ... someone right
2:15
in front of the White House or even shoot someone
2:17
himself and yet defer all ... responsibility
2:20
under this absurd notion that he isn't subject to any
2:22
liability because he's got blanket ... immunity as president regardless
2:24
of whether his actions actually ... comport
2:27
with his presidential oath or not which of course is
2:29
insane and so because he acted ... outside
2:32
the scope of his duties while performing those actions
2:34
he is not protected by ... presidential immunity and
2:36
therefore can be subject to lawsuits so tough day
2:38
for Donald Trump when ... he has to find
2:40
out that being president doesn't actually make you a king
2:42
but here's the ... interesting part it's not just civil lawsuits
2:44
with this decision will actually impact Trump it can ... also
2:48
impact him in his ongoing criminal prosecution in Washington DC I spoke
2:50
with ... former federal
2:52
prosecutor Glenn Kirchner about this issue and here's what he
2:54
had to say. I love
2:56
this piece of it because you know this doesn't directly answer the
2:58
question can Donald ... Trump
3:01
be prosecuted criminally or does he have
3:03
some kind of magical unicorn absolute immunity
3:05
from ... being criminally prosecuted this is
3:07
really an important what I would what
3:10
I'll call atmospheric ... precedent why do
3:12
I call it atmospheric? It's
3:15
not legal precedent it's not like
3:17
the criminal courts will now say oh
3:19
the civil case ... was resolved in
3:21
the following way therefore we will apply
3:23
it as precedents operating. If
3:38
you can be sued civilly. Where
3:41
president Democrat would bedragon screwed? If
3:44
you can't even clear that bar? Well
3:46
if you committed crimes without president there's
3:49
no way you've got any lingering immunity
3:51
left. in
4:00
any view of the state of the
4:03
law. So it really is kind of
4:05
important and it's interesting because the appellate
4:07
court said, look, what
4:10
you were doing Donald Trump on
4:12
and around January 6th, apart from
4:14
the fact that you've been criminally
4:16
indicted, you were committing crimes, is
4:18
you were trying to regain power.
4:21
You were trying to override the
4:23
express will of the American voters
4:25
and there's one thing that that
4:28
is not. It's not a
4:30
presidential act, it's the act of a
4:33
candidate and that is really one
4:35
of the pegs on which the
4:37
three-judge panel hung their hat, their
4:39
legal decision. They said this can't
4:41
possibly be a presidential act because
4:43
it was the act of a
4:45
candidate if it was any kind
4:47
of a lawful act. But we're
4:50
going to learn more about, I
4:52
think, the view of
4:54
the law moving forward because not only
4:56
was it not a presidential act, it
4:59
was an illegal act and that's why
5:01
at the end of the day he's
5:03
not going to enjoy any immunity civilly
5:05
or criminally. And of course for more
5:07
breaking legal news Glenn and I host a show
5:09
together on YouTube called the legal breakdown so if
5:11
you're not subscribed on YouTube definitely make sure to
5:13
subscribe. But the takeaway here is actually
5:15
pretty simple. Trump may claim that he's the
5:17
victim of some unfair political persecution but remember
5:19
it was the Giuliani's and the John Eastman's
5:22
and the Jeffrey Clark's and the Jenna Ellis's
5:24
who goaded him on who helped him. Those
5:26
are his lawyers and his aides. The left
5:28
was universally begging and pleading with him not
5:30
to interfere in the election, not to incite
5:32
an insurrection, not to prevent the peaceful transfer
5:34
of power. The left were the only people
5:36
giving him the right advice. Advice that had
5:38
he followed it would have kept him out
5:41
of the courtroom. So when he blames Democrats
5:43
for the avalanche of litigation that he's contending
5:45
with now and that he's about to contend
5:47
with in the aftermath of this decision, just
5:49
remember that it was his decision and his
5:51
aides and attorneys advice that landed him where
5:53
he is today, not the Democrats.
5:55
Dude trying to lead the party of personal responsibility
5:58
now might be a good time to act. actually
6:00
try taking some. Next
6:04
up is my interview with Senator Tammy Baldwin. The
6:07
number one selling product of its kind
6:09
with over 20 years of research and
6:11
innovation. Botox Cosmetic out of botulinum toxin
6:14
A is a prescription medicine used to
6:16
temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines,
6:18
crow's feet and forehead lines look
6:20
better in adults. A set
6:22
of Botox Cosmetic may spread hours to weeks
6:24
after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor
6:27
right away if it's difficult swallowing, speaking, breathing,
6:29
eye problems or muscle weakness may be a
6:31
sign of a life threatening condition. Patients with
6:33
these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
6:35
Don't receive Botox Cosmetic if you have a
6:38
skin infection. Side effects may include allergic reactions,
6:40
injection site pain, headache, eyebrow and eyelid
6:42
dripping and eyelid swelling. Allergic reactions can
6:44
include rash, swells, asthma symptoms and dizziness.
6:46
Tell your doctor about medical history, muscle
6:48
or nerve conditions including ALS or Lou
6:51
Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
6:53
and medications including botulinum toxin as these
6:55
may increase the risk of serious side
6:57
effects. For full safety information visit botoxcosmetic.com

7:07
Now we've got the U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, Tammy Baldwin.
7:09
Thanks for coming back on. I'm so
7:11
delighted to join you. So because
7:13
we live in this doom loop, we are
7:15
now back to dealing with an impending effort
7:17
by Donald Trump to overturn the ACA, the
7:20
Affordable Care Act, if he's reelected as president.
7:22
So first off, can I have your response
7:24
to this claim by Donald Trump? Well,
7:27
we all know there's no better way to
7:30
try to win votes than to rip
7:32
away people's health care. I mean, it's
7:34
unbelievable that he is bringing this up.
7:37
And, you know, it's such
7:39
a serious issue because I remember when
7:42
we first passed the Affordable Care Act
7:44
as it's getting implemented, et cetera, many,
7:48
many people for the first time
7:50
had health insurance or the
7:52
peace of mind that they wouldn't be kicked off
7:54
their health insurance if they were to get sick.
7:57
And it was terrifying for. many
8:00
families to see the
8:02
constant threats that were lodged to
8:06
repeal the Affordable Care Act. Remember, the
8:08
House, I think, had 50 separate
8:10
votes to do that. And
8:12
it was ultimately John McCain, with
8:15
his thumbs down in the Senate,
8:17
that saved the Affordable Care Act.
8:21
And we just can't
8:23
go back to this craziness. This
8:26
was a step forward, and we need to
8:28
continue to make progress, not
8:30
strip back the hard-flawed
8:32
victories. Well, you know,
8:34
to that exact point, this is a recurring
8:37
theme on the right. And I'm
8:39
not asking you to kind of get into
8:41
the heads of these Republican lawmakers and senators
8:43
and candidates. But while they're
8:45
pushing to strip away reproductive
8:47
health care, while pushing to strip away climate
8:50
protections, while they're pushing to strip away now
8:53
health care and health coverage, why do you presume
8:55
that they're pushing forward with these
8:57
unpopular edicts, I guess you could say, even
8:59
as they're losing races as the rest result
9:02
of them? I mean, you yourself alluded to
9:04
the fact that back in 2018, this
9:06
was the reason that Republicans lost that
9:08
election in such sweeping fashion. Yeah,
9:11
I mean, I think it's because
9:13
too many of them are in
9:15
the pockets of powerful, wealthy interests.
9:18
I mean, who's for taking away
9:20
the Affordable Care Act? The
9:23
big health systems and insurance
9:25
companies, and the big
9:27
pharmaceutical companies. The folks that
9:30
are behind most of
9:32
the measures are their, you
9:35
know, are their benefactors and
9:37
have very powerful presence
9:40
in sadly, in Washington DC and on
9:42
Capitol Hill. And they're playing to
9:44
them. And we
9:47
can't have it. We have
9:49
fought so long with
9:51
such high stakes to stand up to
9:54
big health insurance, to make sure that
9:56
they have to cover people who've been
9:58
sick before, who have a preexisting condition.
10:00
like diabetes or they're a survivor of
10:03
breast cancer or they're HIV positive.
10:05
We cannot go back to the days
10:08
when insurance companies had the say
10:10
and could simply say no. And
10:14
for the big pharmaceutical companies,
10:16
they protected them for way
10:18
too long. And just last
10:20
year, we had this major
10:22
breakthrough in the Inflation Reduction
10:24
Act, where we finally stood
10:26
up to big pharma and
10:28
said Medicare must be
10:31
able to negotiate lower prices.
10:33
And already we're seeing
10:35
some of the results. Vaccines are
10:39
without copays for
10:41
seniors. Insulin is now no
10:43
more than $35 a month out of pocket
10:46
for seniors on Medicare. And we're
10:48
fighting hard to make sure that
10:50
that will soon be true for
10:52
everybody with diabetes who needs insulin.
10:55
And the first 10 drugs
10:59
have been named and Medicare is in
11:01
the process of negotiating down these prices.
11:04
There's no way that the Republicans
11:07
should defend the fact that
11:09
we are currently paying more
11:11
in America for lifesaving medications
11:13
than any other country on
11:15
earth. That makes no sense.
11:18
And we've made these breakthroughs and we've got to
11:20
run on them too. Well, you
11:22
know, it is only a matter of time
11:24
before Donald Trump gets out of the primary
11:26
where he is right now and into the
11:28
general and pretends that in fact, he loves
11:30
the Affordable Care Act. So what is your
11:32
message to voters in advance of Donald Trump's
11:34
inevitable gaslighting on this issue? Listen
11:37
to what he says now,
11:39
right? Before he's trying to
11:42
switch from primary mode to general
11:44
election mode. I think you have
11:46
every reason to trust
11:50
that he does want to dismantle the
11:52
Affordable Care Act and that he will
11:55
take steps to do that as he
11:57
did when he was last. president
12:00
of the United States. In
12:02
fact, it was so close. They
12:04
had already repealed it in the
12:06
House, and it was one
12:09
vote away from being overturned
12:12
in the Senate. He will do
12:14
it again. And so
12:16
it's why these elections have
12:18
such high stakes. It's
12:20
why we've got to stay
12:23
animated and activated to make
12:25
sure that people know that
12:27
this election, this next election,
12:29
is about not only
12:31
your access to health care and
12:33
the affordability of that health care,
12:36
but also your basic rights and
12:38
freedoms to control your body and
12:40
to access the health care that
12:43
you need. You wrote the wildly
12:45
popular provision in the ACA that allows young
12:47
people to stay on their parents insurance until
12:49
they're 26. In plain terms, what
12:51
would it mean for young people, especially
12:54
if the ACA was to get overturned?
12:57
So we all know that if you
12:59
go right from, say, high school into
13:01
the workforce, that first job
13:04
is not likely to have full
13:06
health insurance benefits. You
13:08
know that if you're right out
13:11
of high school and maybe juggling
13:13
college with a part-time job, that
13:15
that's not going to offer you
13:17
a path to health insurance. My
13:19
provision that allowed young people to
13:22
stay on their parents health insurance
13:24
until they turned 26. Overnight, when
13:26
that measure was implemented, millions of
13:28
people who had no health insurance
13:30
before got it. And
13:33
that is something that we've got to
13:35
fight hard to maintain because
13:38
repealing the Affordable Care Act would go
13:40
back to the old days where pretty
13:42
much anybody in that
13:44
age group is really unlikely
13:46
to have affordable and, I
13:48
should mention, comprehensive health care.
13:52
I alluded to this before, but so far
13:54
the policy proposals among Republicans, like I said,
13:56
are stripping women of the reproductive rights, undoing
13:59
climate action. protecting the ultra
14:01
wealthy from tax audits and now
14:03
stripping healthcare from Americans. Can I
14:06
have your response in general to
14:08
this anti-majoritarian platform from the Republican
14:10
Party? Yeah, you know, on one
14:13
hand Donald Trump
14:15
used to try to appeal
14:17
as a populist and
14:20
yet he touts just
14:23
any number of proposals that
14:26
so harm the
14:28
working people of the United States. We've
14:31
got to make sure we are clear
14:33
as the opposition party to the Trump
14:37
Republicans that this
14:39
is harmful policy that he
14:41
is peddling and
14:43
that under his previous administration
14:45
that we lost such ground
14:48
in terms of rights and
14:51
freedoms. His efforts
14:53
to place three new
14:56
Supreme Court justices
14:59
have resulted in many steps
15:01
backwards since he left office
15:04
and it will be a while before we're
15:06
going to be able to properly address that
15:09
sadly. So he left a legacy
15:13
of damage and we
15:15
cannot let him become president again. So
15:17
you're running for reelection to the
15:20
Senate in what is widely known as
15:22
the tipping point states, that's Wisconsin. Now
15:24
Trump won that state by 0.7% in
15:26
2016. Biden won
15:28
it by almost the same margin in 2020, I believe it was 0.6%. What are you doing now
15:33
to ensure that this Senate seat stays in
15:35
Democratic hands? Well first I
15:37
want to underscore your point that
15:40
Wisconsin could easily decide
15:42
or be the deciding
15:44
state in terms of who controls
15:46
the White House and
15:48
which party controls the United States
15:51
Senate. We are the ultimate battleground
15:53
state. And I take that very
15:55
seriously as I began
15:57
to mount a campaign for reelection
15:59
to the United States Senate. And
16:02
part of the emphasis that
16:05
you see the National Republicans
16:08
place on Wisconsin includes bringing
16:10
their national convention to Milwaukee,
16:12
Wisconsin next year. So we
16:15
are squarely in their sights
16:17
in terms of where
16:19
they think they can make the
16:21
biggest difference. So I start my
16:23
reelection effort knowing that they're
16:25
very much focused on Wisconsin. But I'd suggest
16:27
to you that there's another reason that they
16:30
really focus on me. And
16:32
that is because as we've just been
16:34
discussing, I'm not afraid to stand up
16:36
to those powerful, moneyed
16:39
interests and fight for the
16:41
working people of my state. And you
16:44
know what, in addition to that, it's
16:46
not enough to just be unafraid to
16:48
stand up. Sometimes we got to
16:50
win and we have. And we
16:52
really have to tell that as we move
16:55
forward. You told the older stories of passing
16:57
the Affordable Care Act. I was in the
16:59
House of Representatives on a panel helping to
17:01
write that. And it was my amendment that
17:03
allows young people to stay on their parents'
17:06
health insurance till they turn 26. But
17:09
our more recent victories have included
17:12
standing up to the big pharmaceutical
17:14
companies and getting Medicare to negotiate
17:16
lower prices. But I'm
17:18
not afraid to stand up to
17:20
the big multinational corporations that see
17:23
profit and quarterly profits as
17:25
their only goal. Corporate
17:28
greed has impacted Wisconsin workers
17:31
over decades of portrayed policies
17:33
or favoring conditions
17:36
where they bring manufacturing from
17:38
a big state, manufacturing
17:40
state like Wisconsin, overseas,
17:43
offshore, where the cost of
17:45
production is lower because there's
17:47
no laws to protect workers,
17:49
to encourage
17:51
unions, to protect worker safety,
17:54
to protect the environment. Yes,
17:56
it's cheaper to produce
17:58
in countries that. have
18:01
those circumstances. And
18:03
by America policies, which I
18:05
consider myself to be the
18:07
Senate champion of by America
18:09
policies, the simple proposition that
18:11
when we are using taxpayer
18:13
dollars that that should benefit
18:16
US workers and small businesses. I
18:18
mean, that makes total sense when
18:20
we're talking about taxpayer dollars. And
18:23
we've won. I've been
18:25
pursuing these in the infrastructure bill. We
18:28
got it in the infrastructure bill. In
18:30
the chips and science act that we passed
18:32
last year, I got it in the chips
18:34
and science bill. We
18:36
put it in the inflation reduction act
18:39
so that this new clean energy, renewable
18:42
energy economy that US workers
18:44
can be in the lead,
18:46
not following. And so these
18:49
are exciting opportunities. When
18:51
you stand up to those powerful interests,
18:54
you can win. And then
18:56
the last one I wanted to mention was
18:58
the extremists that we are seeing have
19:01
greater and greater influence and
19:04
power. They were
19:06
successful after a multi-decade fight to
19:08
overturn Roe versus Wade with the
19:10
Dobbs decision last year. They
19:14
are introducing and leading
19:17
to the introduction of all sorts
19:19
of anti-LGBTQ, anti-woke, if you
19:21
will, pieces
19:24
of legislation. They are having
19:26
a real impact at all levels
19:28
of government. And it's why after
19:30
Dobbs, when they put
19:34
marriage equality in the
19:36
crosshairs as their next step,
19:39
I led the effort to pass the Respect
19:41
for Marriage Act in the Senate, standing
19:43
up to those extremists, but still
19:46
being able to bring in 12
19:49
of my Republican colleagues to join
19:51
all Democrats to pass that measure.
19:53
We're almost on the year
19:55
anniversary of President Biden signing the
19:58
Respect for Marriage Act. Marriage
20:00
Act into law which of course repealed
20:02
the old Defense of Marriage Act. And
20:07
so I just want people to
20:09
feel some hope and encouragement that
20:11
we can stand up to these
20:13
wealthy powerful interests and we can
20:15
win and it's hard work but
20:18
we've got to be there to
20:20
do it. Well you mentioned
20:22
wealthy powerful interests which brings
20:24
me to your potential opponent
20:27
in this 2024 election. It may be a guy
20:29
named Eric Hovde who is a multi-millionaire
20:31
banker who lives in Laguna Beach, California.
20:33
Now he was asked where he spends
20:35
most of his time whether he spends
20:37
that time in California or Wisconsin. I'm
20:39
going to read you his quote. Quote,
20:42
this is laughable. I'm born in Wisconsin,
20:44
raised in Wisconsin and graduated from the
20:46
University of Wisconsin. My home is Wisconsin.
20:48
I have a business in Wisconsin so
20:51
that's my response which of course is
20:53
a lot of words to avoid answering
20:55
the actual question. Can I get your
20:57
response to the prospect of a California
20:59
banker running to represent Wisconsin in the
21:01
US Senate? We've
21:03
made a little light of that
21:05
recently. You're right. He's the
21:08
president and CEO of
21:10
a bank, a big regional
21:12
bank. He lives in Laguna
21:15
Beach and we
21:17
kind of suggested that there might
21:20
be an open US Senate seat
21:22
in California. Maybe
21:25
that's what he's looking to do but no,
21:27
no, no. He protests. He says I'm going
21:30
to run in Wisconsin. I
21:32
think Wisconsinites will be very
21:34
interested to know about where he
21:37
spends his time. The
21:39
fact that he's missed several important
21:41
votes in the state and
21:44
I think that Wisconsinites
21:47
really want somebody who is a
21:49
resident, a frequent resident of the
21:51
state of Wisconsin to
21:53
be their representative working hard
21:55
for them in the United States Senate. also
22:00
want somebody who gets them, who's
22:03
worked hard and who
22:06
has known what it means to make
22:08
an honest wage, who knows what
22:10
it's like to have to fight for recognition
22:13
of their union, who
22:15
knows what it's like when it's
22:19
hard to make the
22:21
budget hard
22:23
to keep your budget because the cost of
22:27
health care and medicines is
22:29
so high. I
22:31
think people of Wisconsin want somebody
22:33
who really gets them. And
22:35
that's not Eric Hovde. It's
22:38
hard to see why Republicans wouldn't want to go the way of
22:40
Dr. Oz in New Jersey, but here we are. Right.
22:42
Well, that is their playbook,
22:44
right? It's a page from
22:46
the Republican playbook these days.
22:49
They are actively recruiting multimillionaires
22:51
to run in the swing states.
22:53
They're going to run in
22:56
the battleground states so that they can write
22:58
a hefty check. We have another multimillionaire
23:00
in Wisconsin who's looking at
23:03
getting into the race. It's like they're dueling. Like, I'll
23:05
put in $15 million of my own wealth. Well,
23:08
I'll put in $20 million of my own wealth. And
23:12
we've literally been saying those things to
23:14
the media. And it's quite a new chapter
23:17
in how politics work on
23:20
the Republican side of the ledger. Yeah. Having
23:22
these multimillionaires run their own races, it does
23:24
allow them to self-finance so that they can
23:26
divert that money to other places where they
23:28
might be able to use it otherwise. And
23:30
so if they just have multimillionaires running in
23:32
all of their races who can self-finance, then
23:34
they can focus on down-ballot races. They can
23:36
focus on congressional races and on and on.
23:38
So this is, again, just a way to
23:40
kind of allow them to manipulate this system.
23:43
And super PACs, right? Exactly. Exactly. Just anywhere
23:45
where they can find the money, they're taking
23:47
advantage. Can you talk about Hovde's position
23:49
on both abortion rights and the ACA
23:51
in terms of what his election could
23:53
mean? First of all,
23:55
he has a record because he did run for
23:57
US Senate in 2012. He came.
24:00
in second in the Republican primary
24:02
in Wisconsin. And
24:05
then went back to being a California bank owner.
24:07
But that said, he
24:09
took positions on these issues.
24:11
He supports a nationwide abortion
24:13
ban and he
24:17
supported repeal of the Affordable Care
24:19
Act. In fact, that was something
24:21
he vigorously ran on in
24:24
his previous campaign in 2012. He
24:28
also is somebody like
24:31
many of the Republicans who
24:33
look to decimate
24:35
the two bedrock programs
24:39
that have been earned benefits for
24:41
seniors in the US. He
24:43
would look at radical changes
24:45
to both social security and
24:48
Medicare. And those
24:50
are some of the best ideas that
24:52
we've ever had. They were
24:54
democratic ideas, but they have
24:56
stood the test of time
24:58
in making sure that when
25:01
we work hard and play by the rules
25:03
that we can retire with dignity and security.
25:06
Well, now that Joe Manchin is no longer running
25:08
for Senate in West Virginia, how does that impact
25:10
the stakes of your election in Wisconsin? So
25:13
right now in the United States Senate,
25:16
there are 51 Democrats or people who
25:18
caucus with the Democrats and
25:21
49 Republicans. Joe
25:23
Manchin represents the state that went
25:26
overwhelmingly for Trump in 2020. And
25:30
it will be difficult for
25:32
us, a Democrat, other than
25:34
Joe Manchin, to successfully wage
25:37
a race in West Virginia. So
25:40
then we'd be down to 50-50 in the
25:42
Senate. Every
25:46
battleground state then becomes a
25:48
target and Wisconsin is one of them.
25:51
So they're gonna go all in,
25:53
including having their convention in Milwaukee,
25:56
Wisconsin next year. They're gonna go all
25:58
in in trying to. defeat me.
26:01
And it is a critical
26:04
race to win in order to
26:06
keep a progressive
26:08
Senate and keep our
26:11
country moving in the right direction,
26:13
not repealing our rights and
26:15
freedoms. To that point, how can we help your
26:17
campaign? Well, I
26:20
certainly would encourage everyone
26:22
to go to tammybaldwin.com.
26:26
There's many ways you can There
26:28
are ways you can help that include donating
26:30
to my campaign, and you can do that
26:32
online. If you're
26:35
in Wisconsin, there's lots of volunteer activities.
26:37
And no matter where you are on
26:39
the country, you can follow me on
26:41
social media and help
26:43
us expand reach
26:46
to the message
26:48
of the important work that I've done, the
26:50
victories I just told you about when we
26:52
stood up to powerful interests and we won
26:54
and the many battles we still have to
26:56
fight. And just to
26:58
underscore the importance of donating now early, I
27:01
know that we're just about a year out
27:03
from the election, but being
27:05
able to donate now and get on the airwaves
27:07
now would allow the Senator to kind of define
27:09
herself before Republicans have the chance to redefine her
27:12
in their own image, which will, of course, be
27:14
full of obfuscation and misinformation. So with that said,
27:16
again, I'll put that link in the post description
27:18
of this video and the show notes on the
27:20
podcast. So Senator Baldwin, thank you so much for
27:22
taking the time and best of luck on the
27:24
campaign trail. Thank you so much. Great to be
27:27
with you. Thanks again,
27:29
Senator Baldwin. That's it for this episode. Talk to
27:31
you next week. You've
27:34
