0:32

fall his beloved wife Hadassah in

0:34

members of his family or with

0:36

him as he passed. Known.

0:39

For his peers independent streak in his

0:41

ability to work with both sides of

0:43

the aisle, he was Al Gore's Democratic

0:45

when he made in two thousand and

0:47

was on the short list and two

0:49

thousand and eight to be the running

0:51

mate for John Mccain. Lieberman was eighty

0:53

A Snyder rights this morning. The

1:16

One Nine extravaganza will all but

1:19

certainly increase Bilin sizable financial advantage

1:21

over former President Donald Trump who

1:23

raised about twenty million. In all

1:26

of February and it serve as a

1:28

vivid reminder that the President has ample

1:30

resources at his disposal as he tries

1:32

to call his way from a small

1:35

bore, persistent polling deficit in the general

1:37

election. And. It starts with

1:39

I F. our colleague Britney Gibson

1:41

this morning reporting that Rfk Jr

1:44

is running mate has been a

1:46

harsh critic of in vitro fertilization,

1:48

was funding alternative research on extending

1:50

women's reproductive years. She has for

1:52

years denounced I Bf, calling it

1:55

called one of the biggest lies

1:57

that's being told about women's health

1:59

today. In joining the Par for

2:01

the very first time is politics

2:03

reporter. Pretty good since Brittany. Welcome

2:05

for the first time. Happy to

2:07

have you. Basically. So.

2:11

You cover Rfk for us and

2:13

it is yeomans work because it

2:15

is all over the place. Raise

2:17

his his policies. Enough of the

2:19

kinds of people that you end

2:21

up talking to. This weekend you

2:23

had a really interesting story about

2:26

the kinds of people to he's

2:28

bringing in and now you are

2:30

looking into his running mate who

2:32

was a Now Does two days

2:34

ago Nicole Shanahan out of Oakland.

2:36

You story is about ib yes

2:38

interviews the see A said. In

2:41

public on idea So stella people like what

2:43

those details on and one point needs why

2:45

the soil was important for you to do.

2:48

As so digging into her senses

2:50

and I've yes mostly teams and

2:52

just election the news right now

2:55

in terms of fall at least

2:57

seen from that Alabama Supreme Court

2:59

teeth. And then you notice everything

3:01

about women's reproductive rights which is

3:04

a major seen at the selection

3:06

I saw her view on I

3:08

the Ass Nicholson hands is ah

3:10

very skeptical if not outright ah

3:13

against I've Yes, she's critical of

3:15

funding and backing of eyes. Yes,

3:17

she's. Called it's One of the

3:19

Fittest Lies has been told that

3:22

Women's Health Day and see a

3:24

skeptical that it's a commercial endeavour

3:26

not so much a scientific one

3:28

to help with women's reproductive health

3:30

and I believe part of this

3:32

is informed by for own experience

3:35

with as he asked that. Also

3:37

in her professional life she runs

3:39

a non profits that science research

3:41

into what she calls. Women's

3:43

reproductive longevity. Zoo that

3:46

a very out of line and

3:48

out of out of step with

3:50

largely were snatched. Where the the

3:52

the American people are but also

3:55

democrats Republicans also kind of moving

3:57

together toward. That's one of the

3:59

things that I have found so

4:01

interesting and you have been front

4:03

and center with this is you

4:06

have Rfk who is from V

4:08

name and democratic politics Rice Harvest

4:10

Assembly doesn't this is be President

4:12

Abbas and be running since but

4:15

he also espouses a lot of

4:17

different policies that are actually more

4:19

in line with have a right

4:21

wing chat bot situation right? Those

4:23

like is are kind of all

4:26

over the place. For example I

4:28

have an aunt in. South Carolina

4:30

who was really interested in him just

4:32

because of the name is an older black

4:34

woman in South Carolina who accedes loves Joe

4:37

Biden. That was saying to me oh yeah,

4:39

how about virginity and then night she

4:41

said what does he think and I told

4:43

her some. Things. The sent her

4:46

a couple your stories to put

4:48

the zebra you that deemed grab

4:50

some folks it seems a key

4:52

is kind of unpredictable aspects of

4:54

the alexa. whether or not as

4:56

an independent he would poor from

4:58

Joe Biden. Or. He

5:00

would pull from Donald Trump. It could happen

5:02

either way it seems. Absolutely. and

5:04

I think even his own team in

5:07

other into I've done with him is

5:09

inconclusive fully for more from the you're

5:11

absolutely right I think if you will

5:13

get his professional background i in the

5:16

nineties to thousands mostly and environmental litigator

5:18

things that appeal very much so last

5:20

the look at his work in my

5:22

recent years especially post the covered vaccine

5:24

and vaccine mandates he was doing a

5:27

lot of added see against those can

5:29

appeal more to our people on the

5:31

right. But then he has some thoughts

5:33

of his. That I struggled a plot

5:36

said Lester great like he believes. The

5:38

Cia is aware. You know the. Government

5:40

agencies were involved in the killings of

5:43

his uncle and saw their and like

5:45

the han ido spans the game, this

5:47

of and mean etc. Lot of people

5:49

who aren't even what we would call

5:51

a very political or you know overtly

5:53

into electoral politics regular both. Here's the

5:56

views of As summer say it for.

5:58

His theory. Unclear

6:00

who he draws more from depending on what

6:03

they've heard. About him as they've heard

6:05

about recently. The name definitely helps in

6:07

terms of I think his broader polling

6:09

support. I don't think he would be

6:11

pulling as highly as his last name

6:13

was. you know, Smith? I think his

6:15

V P pick may have us Nicholson

6:18

had may have turned off some more

6:20

conservative leaning people who are interested in

6:22

Kennedy. That's what I've been seeing from

6:24

his I saw the online response is

6:26

that kind of an online volunteer basin?

6:28

Ah, some of them were concerned that

6:31

she was too liberal too. Close to

6:33

the democratic. Party I'm but I

6:35

a. Remains to be seen. People.

6:37

Who are third parties don't like to

6:39

think of themselves as spoilers right? But

6:41

when you talk to him and his

6:43

team how they view their place in

6:45

the selection, I know they don't see

6:48

themselves as for them to be see

6:50

themselves as winning do but I do

6:52

because it's you know you have to

6:54

get all lot more speed. some he's

6:56

on right now to win the electoral

6:58

college and have a lot different policy

7:00

prescriptions. Absolutely. See as embrace He

7:02

and his team have embraced the term

7:04

spoiler. You'll see him at the event

7:06

the launching his our announcing his Bp

7:09

candidates. I he said I'm gonna be

7:11

a spoiler for Joe Biden and Donald

7:13

Trump. He said that. Time.

7:15

I'm not really what his

7:17

father is sure. To

7:21

deal with they would they literally say is

7:23

like you know they're they're in. It's a

7:25

win it. But there are a lot and

7:27

logistical obstacles for them. You mentioned the biggest

7:29

one by far right away. Ballot Access They

7:31

are officially only on the ballot in Utah.

7:33

I don't have the numbers in front of

7:35

me that you tell loan. Not.

7:37

Even barely. Read space. Where

7:41

you know he doesn't Mathematically not

7:43

gonna be enough. Ah, Yeah, yeah

7:45

it's you're not mathematicians on his podcast

7:48

but one stay out of the ones

7:50

that we have not going to work.

7:52

So. What a spin! You

7:54

know really how they handled

7:57

that logistical challenge for the

7:59

campaign is gonna be. The

8:01

real answer to the question of like

8:03

are they gonna be spoilers in the

8:05

selection regardless of how they describe themselves.

8:08

Or. Britney. Thank you thank you thank you! Don't

8:10

have a very exciting rest of your few months

8:12
