we had all talked

, at that point about how it was

2:21

we looked down and it

2:45

scaled back version and a final one

2:47

meanwhile house republicans are attacking

2:49

the committee and your a cabinet committee

2:52

which out right lies

2:55

january six sam committees

2:57

is so egregious it is way

2:59

worse than the impeachment witch hunt

3:02

parts one and two and reason

3:04

why it's so egregious is there's no republican

3:06

appointed members

3:07

that

3:10

is an outright lie for fact said

3:12

house republican leader kevin mccarthy decided

3:15

not to appoint any geo key

3:17

members after tools his choices

3:19

were rejected and a vast majority

3:22

of the committee's witnesses thus far are

3:24

republicans most of which have

3:26

been trump appointees aren't fully

3:29

it's also a critical week for one

3:31

trump ally and one time strategist steve

3:34

bannon his federal trial started today

3:36

his faith in contempt of congress charges

3:39

for refusing to comply with the january

3:41

fifth subpoena and another

3:43

trump ally georgia congressman jody [unk] heist

3:45

now facing a subpoena from the geo

3:47

grand jury investigating possible twenty

3:50

twenty election interference by

3:52

the former president he has now been ordered

3:54

to appear tomorrow hype has

3:56

asked a federal court to block that subpoena

3:59

the cover a less get smarter

4:02

but the help of our lead off panel and

4:04

you're in luck it's a good one jeremy peters

4:06

political reporter for the new york times author

4:08

of the new book insurgency how

4:11

republicans last the party and got

4:13

everything they've ever wanted suck

4:15

rosenberg former us attorney and former

4:17

senior at the i'd say so and ryan

4:19

riley just a supporter for nbc

4:21

news says i get a guilty of

4:23

first we now have to ask trump

4:25

officials were going to testify on thursday

4:28

the committee already knows a lot of what they'll

4:31

say you thought they were already spoken to them

4:33

how do these witnesses swainson

4:35

the committee's came

4:37

well in the following way stephanie

4:40

these are people who were around

4:42

the president's the so if you want to know what

4:44

the president sought and you wanna know what the

4:46

president new when you want to know what the president

4:48

said then you have as witnesses

4:50

people who saw and heard him sit

4:53

ups i heard really silly

4:55

attacks against cassidy hutchinson

4:57

for instance after she testified

4:59

that she was just a low ranking official

5:02

that doesn't matter what matters

5:04

is that she saw and heard stuff that will

5:06

relevant the committee's inquiry if

5:09

, bank it's rob you call the

5:11

president of the banks you call

5:13

the towers they may be lower ranking

5:15

and station and office but

5:18

they were there when there thing happened and

5:20

so having and so matthews misreport

5:22

under we're in the oval office

5:24

were around the president when

5:27

this thing happened makes them

5:29

important witnesses

5:32

jeremy given what we've

5:34

learned over the last seven hearings how

5:37

critical is this upcoming one it's not

5:39

an accident it wasn't random stuff

5:41

they chose prime time thursday

5:43

night right back in the day your in my youth

5:46

has some friends is on that's that's

5:48

silver spoons as going pains territories

5:51

that is the prime minister of the prime time

5:54

why do you think we can be getting

5:56

well that's a great question because

5:59

i think

5:59

leading up until now

6:02

what you had from these hearings is

6:05

basically a lot of information

6:07

that we already knew with

6:09

sensational details comes

6:12

spicing up i

6:14

, that what what from what i'm

6:16

hearing ah coming on thursday

6:19

couldn't be somewhere

6:21

along the lines of what we heard what

6:23

we weeks ago when cassie hutchinson

6:26

testified and you have somebody who was

6:28

actually physically in

6:31

the room we know that massive hunter

6:33

was in the room for a lot

6:35

of what happened on january six he

6:37

resigned that day saying he had

6:39

just had enough whether

6:42

or not this adds up to

6:44

dig kind of the on damning

6:47

indictment of trump that i

6:49

think a lot of people have been waiting for in

6:51

the seven years since he's entered

6:54

our our political consciousness we

6:56

don't quite know yet but

6:59

i think that it's fair to say

7:01

that this that this to be pretty

7:04

big deal authors

7:06

there is there was a pretty big deal

7:08

in washington me for see van

7:10

and his trial started ryan you were in the

7:12

courtroom what happened

7:15

we're going through jury selection of say

7:17

that is it waves that twenty two years

7:19

for qualified to borrow the narrow that

7:22

down by a features but each

7:24

side will get it straight a few lamb

7:26

from central jersey once again at all

7:28

of fourteen children will be

7:30

alternative for then twelve those individuals are going

7:32

to decide the ban him speak

7:34

your arm know there have been of sort of this

7:37

town moments i think during a jury selection

7:40

of the one such awesome either is the daughter

7:42

of one of he sees on shadows

7:44

are senators meeting someone is elected

7:46

but not suited because cc doesn't have ah

7:49

his methods of senators or representations

7:52

tigers our boating representation

7:54

countless others know a lot of people were connected

7:56

to the political world but one of those people were

7:58

disqualified and what the he realizes you know

8:01

there's a whole part of washington that

8:03

isn't consumed by news twenty

8:05

four seven just sort of regular

8:07

lies regular jobs and

8:09

, the people who are mostly to conduct

8:12

or the committee of the register

8:14

their them

8:15

the bus driver huge for special me

8:17

our children is gonna be there there is

8:19

a technician a for

8:21

an appliance company outside of you see who will be

8:23

on the passages sort of average folks who haven't

8:25

been following the surly every single of the

8:28

i have a big understanding of either

8:30

the allegations against mr van important

8:32

january six meteor what happened on january

8:35

six foot you don't know about of these critical

8:37

details and busted we still com inserted

8:39

as of press sleep and will be able to hear

8:41

the case as it is protected by prosecutors and

8:43

your the fence as far as the see

8:46

that it's defense lawyers layout

8:48

what consequences could van and face

8:50

here

8:52

yeah for neither surcharges he

8:54

could face as there is it a month is

8:56

typically ah that is this the

8:59

minimum on while one of these charges

9:01

a can go up , there but

9:03

there's a tap on our but you know the

9:06

in what most people would do in the

9:08

scenario would be to take be to of the best

9:10

not the fastest he sat in his is

9:12

choosing here of course he doesn't have that sort of get

9:15

out of feel free card his back pocket

9:17

is president trump is it the current president

9:19

what's interesting about the strategy is

9:21

it's not as though that the time if

9:24

he has conducted at just the sentences imposed

9:26

that time to serve as citizens isn't going to be

9:28

able to be to wait a long enough to say

9:31

get solved trump back in office

9:33

of the consequences are going to come around up

9:35

for this actually be for objects

9:37

just sort of get out of that as as i

9:40

in the past

9:41

jeremy news reporting that trump is

9:44

eager to announce that he's running

9:46

for president because he thinks as gonna

9:48

allow them to avoid possible criminal

9:50

charges we have we heard that same

9:53

things two years ago which is why

9:55

he wanted to run for a second term but

9:57

as one of the real reasons it's you

10:00

the he's running it will force

10:02

on the republicans to kind of galvanize

10:04

around him and support him because right now

10:07

over the course of these hearings republicans

10:10

have been largely silent and

10:12

then a couple have spoken out against

10:15

i think you could expect them to remain silent

10:18

as long as they believe that

10:20

donald trump is the leader of the republican

10:22

party i think donald trump has been running

10:25

since the day that he lost

10:27

the election because he believes

10:29

in his head said he was grievously

10:32

wronged and use them victim

10:34

of sums it up false

10:37

injustice here and that

10:39

is where steve bannon and his

10:41

trial can have ties into all of this

10:43

of this was just talking about like

10:46

the bench trial

10:48

is interesting because it would

10:50

put on display a member

10:53

of trump's inner circle who

10:55

knows his deepest flaws

10:58

and isn't quite fully

11:00

bought into the

11:02

lie of the elect's of the stolen

11:05

election be no midst of the cat i

11:07

have reported this others have reported this

11:10

steve bannon the it not

11:12

fully believe that trump was

11:14

going to be able to overturn the election so

11:16

this whole of the audits

11:19

ah vivid the recounts the decertification

11:23

that was never was real

11:25

possibility in his mind and

11:27

mind the minds of many trump strategists

11:29

what they were trying to do from day one

11:31

the demon jeremiah biden before

11:33

he ever became president

11:36

was the purpose of all of the stuff amount

11:38

of the purpose of january six until it

11:41

got way way out of hand up

11:43

out of hand is probably euphemism your butts

11:46

i think that when you look at trump

11:49

and where he is right now

11:52

still the leader of the republican party show

11:54

me somebody

11:56

with a an elected official who

11:58

is willing to

11:59

stand up

12:01

after all of what we have

12:04

after all but that the committee has has

12:06

revealed

12:07

if there is no one not

12:09

a single republican who has said you know what

12:12

enough is enough i've i've seen

12:14

it ah this committee

12:16

showed me just how repeat

12:19

it open my eyes i don't think that's

12:21

going to happen and as long as they believe

12:24

trump is of leader of the republican party that

12:26

will continue to be the case

12:28

what are the couple of other guns liz cheney and

12:31

adam can zinger but they're in their own category

12:34

com southwest sort of us is deleted

12:36

secret service messages for the let's be honest

12:38

there are not a lot of people out there for

12:40

buying did it was just your regular

12:43

old system upgrade that's how they all

12:45

got deleted the fact

12:47

that the committee made get these messages tomorrow

12:49

how damn and you think is say today

12:52

well first of they want me back up

12:54

a bit

12:55

on actually one of those people who believe it's much

12:57

more likely ineptitude then

12:59

malevolent then when you hear

13:02

so speech separately horses not

13:04

zebras look for the most logical explanation

13:06

what i really think it was was a failure of leadership

13:09

by the secret service at the very

13:11

top the understand that there was a

13:13

phone upgrade program going on and

13:16

the to an upgrade program might have erased

13:18

really important stuff given

13:20

what happened on january six that

13:23

aside what would show us well

13:25

you know lots of times what people are actually

13:28

thinking and doing at the moment

13:30

are reflected in their text messages to

13:32

the text or recoverable on a might

13:34

be will habit and if they're not stephanie

13:37

you're still gonna have the testimony of

13:39

the people who sent and received a text

13:41

messages so there are ways

13:43

to get this stuff one is to try

13:45

and recover the data the other is to simply

13:48

talked to the people who sent and received that it

13:50

could be really important because often

13:52

what we immediately think is what we right

13:55

and what we write is typically preserve

13:58

and it's

13:59

the service doesn't comply with the subpoena

14:02

watches that tell us i mean this is a government

14:04

agency

14:06

yeah it's hard for me to believe that they're not

14:08

going to comply with a subpoena for goodness

14:10

sakes not only their government agencies

14:13

stephanie there a law enforcement agency

14:15

we don't we know we forget that sometimes we think

14:17

of them as just providing protection

14:20

for they are special agents from the united states

14:22

secret service just like the ear you're

14:24

a t f or f b i agents they are

14:26

bad carrying a gun carrying men and women

14:28

who have a duty to uphold the law and

14:31

have sworn an oath to do so so it's

14:33

really hard for me to process the

14:35

notion that they will not comply with

14:37

a congressional subpoena expect they will

14:41

we'll soon find out chuck rosenberg

14:43

jeremy peters my riley thank you also

14:45

watch we're gonna leave it there coming

14:47

up the sun and crushing

14:50

laporte out of texas detailing

14:52

the enormous failure in responding

14:55

to the to the a school shooting how

14:57

poor decision making lead to chaos

14:59

to fight nearly four hundred law

15:01

enforcement officials rushing to the scenes

15:04

four hundred the later the

15:06

democratic operative who discovers

15:08

star than her party and

15:10

but she devices to do right now

15:12

with democracy on the line the eleventh

15:15

hour just getting underway on a monday night

15:25

for your current staff it's

15:27

a current stance is incompetent no

15:30

one

15:31

man i'm out the going

15:33

there seventy seven minutes

15:36

seventy , minutes a

15:38

lot of these shows inside survive

15:41

one of my nieces included are afraid

15:43

to go back to school

15:45

there are terrified to go back they don't want to don't

15:47

trust anyone absolutely

15:50

justified outrage tonight

15:53

as a texas house committees preliminary

15:55

report sound quote systemic

15:57

failures and agree to sleep poor does

15:59

you're making in you've all day one

16:02

amazing many shocking findings a

16:04

total of three hundred and seventy

16:06

six i'm going to say this again

16:08

that i don't want to be any confusion on a may seem

16:10

have it right we are talking about it tomorrow a

16:13

total of three hundred and seventy

16:15

six law enforcement officers

16:18

work at the scene

16:20

the report notes quote the scene was

16:22

chaotic without any person obviously

16:24

in charge or directing the law enforcement

16:27

response your body cam video

16:29

from new valday police department offered

16:31

department glimpse into the chaos and delays

16:34

the investigations they are not over

16:37

the detectors department of public safety is

16:39

now reviewing has dozens of their troopers

16:41

and rangers responded of the same

16:44

the left if that

16:45

with us tonight branch has not for porter

16:47

with the san antonio express news he

16:49

has covered the evolved a shooting extensively

16:52

and france is losing former sci assistant

16:54

director for counter intelligence brian

16:57

the texas house committee's investigation sound

16:59

failures almost like on every

17:01

possible imaginable level can

17:03

you walk us through the most shocking findings

17:06

and outmatched are reporting are reporting i

17:08

just can't get my head around the fact that there were three

17:10

hundred and seventy six people there

17:13

right and no one clearly a command

17:15

out of all those officers who were there

17:17

the me the most shocking part of this was that

17:19

some of those officers knew

17:21

that there were injured victims

17:23

one of those classrooms trapped

17:25

in those costs are used with the shooter and

17:27

still they waited for more than an

17:29

hour

17:30

to go isn't and confronted and and

17:32

ultimately kill him

17:34

what some the report

17:37

acknowledge does some of the witnesses

17:39

who were interviewed and report acknowledged that the

17:41

reason they did not go in that classroom

17:43

because they were waiting for better equipment

17:46

the a better seals

17:49

the one officer ask for mirrors

17:51

to look around corners these

17:53

are just going and and endings

17:55

a threat to the and

17:57

providing medical care cities children

17:59

you are you

18:02

meanwhile at they allow them any one of those

18:05

parents would have torn into that classroom

18:07

with their bare hands but of course they couldn't

18:10

francs or years and years we have been told

18:12

this line a good guy with a gun

18:14

saves the day there

18:16

were almost four hundred members of law

18:18

enforcement good guys with

18:20

guns in you've all day what and

18:22

how happen

18:26

yeah it's a notion it's of a

18:28

mantra we keep hearing particularly from the

18:30

and are a and it's so his supporters

18:33

but the data doesn't support it stephanie

18:36

in fact it's interesting the studies show

18:38

that the more guns on the street

18:40

a more guns that are purchased and were at a record

18:43

number of gun purchases right now needs

18:45

even more shootings and were at a record

18:47

number of mass shootings right now affects

18:50

the journal that americans the american medical

18:52

association last year released a report

18:54

on school shooting specifically you know what

18:56

they found safe house in the presence of

18:58

armed school resource officers

19:01

you have more school shootings not

19:03

see where so it's extremely

19:05

rare for the good guy with a gun like happened

19:08

in the indianapolis area mall over

19:10

the weekend it's extremely rare

19:13

to see a good guy with a gun effectively

19:15

accurately take out a mass

19:17

shooter and in most most of the cases where that happens

19:19

it's an off duty police officer or

19:22

a security guard so in less

19:24

america decides that we all want to walk

19:26

around in an armed encampment environment

19:30

there's no doubt it is for the that would make us

19:32

safer

19:33

thought about that that that incident

19:35

in indiana science because people are making

19:38

that good guy argument a good samaritans

19:41

who is at a shopping mall shot and

19:43

killed a suspected gunman that and

19:45

we hang our hat on that and will you think about

19:47

probability and statistics is

19:49

it better to be a countries awash

19:52

with guns in hopes that

19:54

a really brave good citizens who happens

19:56

to be an excellent shot

19:57

the right food court in the right shop

19:59

lol at the right time

20:01

that the right trade off we should be making

20:05

what lock had a lot to do with it

20:07

and edits and i'm hearing from the description

20:10

of the internet that he also was skilled

20:12

that's great but i have to tell

20:14

his someplace police officers

20:16

at the academy train for weeks

20:18

even months the same for the f b i

20:21

academies you're shooting every day

20:23

half a day all day or every other

20:25

day many do and qualified four

20:27

times a year for the rest of your

20:29

career you have to in a split second

20:31

consider cover concealment

20:34

acquiring your targets who's behind

20:36

the target that you might hit what what

20:38

are always people who get hurt with what you're doing

20:41

all in a split second so it's extremely

20:43

rare that that even a trained officer

20:46

can hit someone accurately in a split second

20:48

let alone have it happened with a civilian

20:51

in a crowded shopping mall it was a miracle

20:53

quite frankly and again do we

20:55

want people to having more

20:57

guns out there were the data tells us that more guns

21:00

means more stolen guns more last

21:02

guns more guns getting into that to the

21:04

hands of very young children who think their poise

21:06

and and of shooting their siblings that's

21:08

what the data tells us

21:10

brian texas is a big

21:13

gun state i want to understand

21:16

everything happening in you've all day is

21:18

deeply important to that community

21:20

obviously to those families it's

21:22

also a hugely important national

21:24

news story that take me to your

21:26

average tax and outside the law

21:28

they communities are they focus on this

21:32

oh absolutely i mean this is dominated

21:35

local news coverage a across the state

21:37

a the for ever since it happened

21:39

and i expected

21:41

can you don't dominate coverage of you know there's

21:43

so many elements to this the failed police response

21:46

there's so many or the summers politics

21:48

now are starting to convince your with us a

21:50

texas department of our safety finally

21:53

the forming an internal and

21:55

external committee to began investigating how it's

21:57

own officers responded the

22:00

scene of the either you you said there were

22:02

nearly four hundred officers responded

22:04

well nearly one hundred that officers

22:06

were went to texas department of public safety which

22:08

is an arm of state

22:11

they're putting this committee together two

22:14

months after the shooting what's taking

22:16

so long

22:18

well i mean it is i think that

22:21

this report probably

22:23

created pressure

22:24

on the governor and

22:27

and the state to

22:29

the to actually take the count

22:31

of it's own a police

22:33

force the you know as i said

22:35

at the report was very specific

22:38

with a number of dps officers

22:40

who responded ninety one of them responded

22:43

that's that's a big number of was the second

22:45

most the second biggest

22:47

number in the report of of officers

22:50

i don't see how how we

22:52

seated well we look at that number and no

22:55

wonder what what ninety one gps officers

22:57

were

22:58

we're doing exactly what

23:00

they were doing and when they were doing it throughout

23:02

the course of this ordeal which lasted

23:05

more than an hour that we seven

23:07

minutes

23:08

more than

23:09

an ordeal frank your

23:11

the five year law enforcement

23:13

veteran last week when

23:15

you saw just a clip of that surveillance

23:17

video you said this maybe a

23:19

crime by police now that

23:21

you've heard all of these awful details

23:24

in this report know anything

23:27

the i wrote this column for msnbc

23:29

daily right after i saw the

23:32

video and it's entirety from inside the school

23:34

and nothing i've heard since

23:36

then in the state texas state house or

23:39

report has talked me out of what

23:41

i'm asserting which is it's time to start thinking

23:43

about criminal charges what might they

23:45

beat eyesight and the common to texas

23:48

statues they could apply they both apply

23:50

to children one is abandonment and

23:52

endangerment have a child under the age of fifteen

23:55

it it includes reckless omission meanings

23:57

it's not just what you do but it's what you choose not

23:59

to do second one is actual

24:01

injury to the child when

24:04

you leave them in an imminent place of

24:06

the in danger serious bodily harm

24:08

death physical or mental impairment either

24:11

one of those might apply here i think it's time for accountability

24:13

and consequences accountability think a grand jury

24:15

should be convened that hasn't

24:18

already we should consider whether the should

24:20

a locally is even qualified

24:22

to do it by that by mean she works every day

24:24

with those police officers in a very small town

24:26

in small very small counties to mainly

24:29

to recuse yourself but it's time for accountability

24:31

and i'd start with that school district so

24:33

pleased

24:35

science has enough thanks it was a

24:37

28:13

people at nbc news my friends

28:15

and colleagues a cell anchor

28:17

of weekend nightly news kate thank you for

28:19

doing this take us there you are on

28:21

the ground in chicago of layout for

28:24

us what did you see and hear

28:25

so

28:28

my job that night was to follow one person

28:31

really i followed pastor donovan price

28:33

he just saw their up he calls himself

28:35

a street pastors staff he is

28:38

a man of god he is

28:40

more than that though he he tries to

28:42

help families who have gone through

28:44

the devastation of gun violence so what

28:46

he does is he sits around why didn't

28:48

sit around my she's busy all the time but he's

28:51

listening to the police radio looking

28:53

at apps looking at us social

28:55

media to find out where the next shooting

28:58

is and then he goes there on purpose

29:00

to try to meet with the families and make

29:02

sure they're supported whether they're

29:04

at the scene of a crime or whether they're at the hospital

29:07

or which is where we followed him on saturday night

29:09

his his whole job he says is to make

29:11

sure they have what they need they can talk to police

29:14

they can deal with their greece and sometimes he ends

29:16

up doing things like planning sooner

29:20

you asked him about solutions and

29:22

i told you and he told you the most important

29:25

it's a start to get americans to focus

29:27

on what happens every single day

29:30

and communities i kids watch them

29:32

the

29:35

concern that t the desert seeing as senses

29:38

right

29:38

this essay pick and choose you

29:41

, know that happens over there

29:44

may have over

29:47

here as them less

29:49

what they do this other live

29:51

when it happens in a big way mass shooting

29:54

as

29:54

or somewhere more aswell

29:57

as it gets more attention that this

29:59

whole lot on

29:59

crazy people color

30:01

the neighborhood first wave unfortunately

30:03

has worked up

30:04

the they that has something to do with the lack of attention

30:07

yeah

30:11

what nothing from the conversation

30:12

we talk about and islands

30:17

so much am i think

30:19

the point he's making that we the

30:21

media pay attention to big

30:24

mass shootings we don't necessarily

30:26

pay attention to the granular every

30:28

day violence as that's with the pastor's

30:30

saying there he sang until we

30:33

all collectively start to pay more

30:35

attention to the problem we're not going to be able to

30:37

get to the solutions we know what works

30:39

he said to me mentoring works for example

30:41

you know trying to get young people to

30:43

stay on the right track and not get him

30:45

with the wrong crowd and maybe not join gangs

30:47

because that's a huge part of the situation

30:50

in the neighborhoods where he works in chicago his

30:52

gang violence but until

30:54

we're all dedicated to that and

30:56

giving the resources to that he says

30:58

we're not gonna get there get there get there with just

31:00

his community alone

31:03

i'm so grateful that you did

31:05

this you lead the supporting your executive

31:07

producer map for a team but it wasn't just chicago

31:10

skewer and baltimore susan philadelphia

31:13

was there a collective take away at

31:15

the end of this experience that you all

31:17

felt this is what america needs to know

31:19

i

31:23

think exhaustion i think

31:25

frustration exhaustion

31:27

on the the sense that it's the same

31:30

every day over and over without

31:32

that in every location we were at

31:34

you heard police officers you heard hospital

31:37

doctors and staff and nurses and

31:39

you heard the past or say the same thing

31:41

which was this has to stop

31:44

we are living the same you

31:46

know actual with situation

31:48

over and over again every

31:50

night we're going to the same kinds of

31:52

scenes were living the same sort of things in

31:54

the hospital they're getting the same kinds of

31:56

cases in every single day

31:59

and it's exhaust

31:59

n and that was

32:02

the common theme that i took away

32:05

what inspired you to do this is

32:07

it that we forget everyday gun

32:09

violence because we gave enormous attention

32:12

to these awful mass shootings and

32:14

we're overlooking what's happening every day

32:16

yeah

32:19

i i work sunday nightly news

32:21

so i mean every sunday morning right and we

32:23

always hear about the gun violence

32:25

that happened overnight and we always hear you

32:28

know the were this many deaths in this city and this money

32:30

is as as as here and frankly seventy

32:32

we can't cover it all there isn't enough

32:34

room in the broadcast to cover

32:36

everything that happened so we thought if

32:38

we could just maybe zero in one night

32:40

and dedicate the resources to us to

32:42

really watch and then we spent

32:45

about half of our broadcast showing the

32:47

audience what what we found we

32:49

thought that might be productive just to kind of put

32:51

a lens and lens and on something

32:53

that may be goes unrecognized too

32:55

often i'm grateful

32:57

that you did states now thank you so much

33:04

coming up soon as he or she has

33:06

dot the i's are good candidates and

33:08

fears messages and tonight

33:10

strategists listeners it's here with us

33:12

she tells us has democrats should be shaping

33:15

the conversation and democracy

33:17

hangs in the balance

33:25

the democrats on the hill are facing an uncomfortable

33:27

reality these days with abortion bill

33:29

that stalled the only real path

33:32

to codifying row live in the hands

33:34

of voters this november and that makes

33:36

birch to protect bourse and right

33:38

the whole lot harder

33:39

so let's discuss the listeners political

33:42

strategist democratic kingmaker and

33:44

now author of a new book any

33:46

given tuesday it's a little love

33:48

story which is out tomorrow and

33:50

quickly going to be your

33:52

august must read or

33:54

it lists welcome congratulations

33:57

on a book same give you a big challenge

33:59

is they were running the show

34:01

how would you want democrats to talk

34:03

about abortion right now while

34:06

the most important things to say is

34:08

that republicans want

34:10

to take healthcare decisions outside

34:13

of the hands of women and doctors

34:16

and put them in the hands of politicians that's

34:18

the most important thing they want to criminalize

34:21

soccer's and women for abortions

34:24

they want to force women who

34:26

are the victims of rape

34:28

in fact or whose lives

34:30

are at stake to give birth

34:33

and this is a life and death issue

34:35

and it is why we need every

34:37

once every one to go

34:39

out and vote no matter how

34:41

they how and do they feel no matter

34:43

how they feel about joe biden stitches

34:46

in life and death issue for this country

34:49

go beyond abortion she democrats

34:52

be looking at this primary it's not

34:54

as an election that's about republican policies

34:57

vs democratic policies should they

34:59

be telling america this is about

35:01

democracy oh absolutely

35:04

i mean we see that we're ,

35:07

with their january six chirac's

35:09

ah when when president

35:11

tried to incite an incite

35:14

and now and i was here a

35:16

couple weeks ago talking with you about the seventy

35:19

now we have gubernatorial candidates

35:21

across the country in arizona

35:24

wisconsin michigan

35:26

pennsylvania who film

35:29

who are election did ayers and who would

35:31

not acknowledge the

35:33

twenty would not elections have a democrat

35:35

were to win their states so yes democracy

35:38

is absolutely on the ballot

35:41

you right in your book that you

35:43

see your role as someone who helps

35:46

candidates be themselves

35:48

if you are advising joe biden right now he's

35:50

been on the world safe for decades

35:53

how would you apply that how would you

35:54

shelby job

35:56

oh

35:58

they were my summer job

35:59

frank oh man i'm

36:02

joe biden is an extremely empathetic

36:05

percent and we know that

36:07

the american people are feeling

36:09

a lot of pain right now they're feeling

36:12

pain from the fall out of the pandemic

36:14

from high gas prices from

36:16

inflation and there's no one

36:19

who feels are paid more than someone

36:21

like joe biden so he needs to get

36:23

out we'll away from the white house

36:26

and among the american people and communities

36:28

across the country where they are feeling

36:30

this pain and features and directly okay

36:34

imperfect i'm i'm so glad you brought up gas

36:36

prices because i want to give you a messaging challenge

36:39

we know inflation is a huge problem one of the

36:41

biggest drivers of inflation is gas prices

36:43

but we just learned today the

36:46

gas prices are fifty cents lower

36:48

than they were at the peak in june if

36:51

your joe biden if you're democrats right now

36:53

how old are you get this message out

36:55

there oh we need to

36:57

continue to talk about it and the progress we've

36:59

made that is not far not phrases

37:02

is still in california cc

37:04

gas prices he died five

37:06

ninety a gallon so we can

37:08

use spices football quite yes

37:11

but we should be talking about the progress said he's

37:13

been able to make and how

37:15

we are producing more oil under

37:17

his administration to alleviate costs

37:20

then at almost any time in

37:22

history

37:24

canada democratic party you know

37:26

how difficult it is fit under one

37:28

tent i think back to the infrastructure

37:30

bill now a law a massive

37:33

massive when for democrats but

37:35

they didn't really spend any time running

37:37

a victory lap and showing that to america

37:40

because they had more ambitious plans with

37:42

build back better ah

37:44

mountain was lucky i think

37:46

the beauty of the democratic party at least in

37:49

in my opinion is

37:51

that is a big tent party arm

37:53

and it is a party that should be of fifty

37:55

state parties are one that doesn't impose

37:58

purity tests were and

37:59

west virginia democrat has to be the

38:02

same as a new york democrats

38:04

but mayor pete and

38:06

administration are going out and making

38:08

the case all across the country and

38:10

been media markets big and small

38:13

that v infrastructure bell will create

38:15

for jobs will rebuild our

38:17

roads and bridges will help underserved

38:20

communities and is and huge

38:22

a huge the future and we

38:24

think about how long how

38:26

long we have been talking about on

38:28

infrastructure and improving it i mean if

38:31

it it felt like every week under

38:33

donald trump was infrastructure week and

38:35
