Oh I forgot to add one point. When asked what the dems could do better with this time around. I agree with the kid, it's the vibes man. Get a"feel" for what people are going through. If dumbo could do it so can the dems. If they would stop trying to show how clever they are that is!
Yeah that was on the nail, but as Luke said the younger generation didn’t have that fear of catching Covid19 so they were complacent about it. I remember walking my dog in the park and a youngster came riding his bike right at me! I thought he was going to veer off at the last second but he didn’t so I dodged behind a park garbage can that was pretty solid and fixed into the ground. As he went by he tried to grasp my mask and screamed at me about how stupid I was to be wearing the mask! Then as there were other people around he just sped off. After I stopped shaking I thought to myself, I guess when I was young I thought I was immortal too. Hopefully he’s matured in the years since then.
It's hard to believe it when you don't see it and it's easy to deny it. Many kids do think their immortal, you're right. They also have a very selfish narrow driven mindset v.s. an empathetic world view mindset. They have a hard time conceptualizing beyond themselves. I am a bedside registered nurse who worked all through covid and continue to work bedside. It was a maddening time and terrifying time....to walk into hellscape of people dying and out to hellscape of people denying. But people still denied it and felt that their autonomy was violated with mandates and herd immunity eventually saved their asses again, but they have held onto the anger like it's a lifeline to destroy democrats.
I always finding it amazing that anger is more enduring than love! I’m sure you must have seen the worst of people in your job but also the best in them at times. It’s often not until you are almost “no more” that you really take a deep and penetrating look at yourself. Sometimes the bad even evil things you’ve said cannot be unsaid. So I guess the lesson to learn is to be as kind and empathetic as you can while you have the chance and the choice. Don’t die with regrets.
This is WHAT the Texas Democrat are TRYING to tell the DNC, you HAVE to come to the table and reach out to these voters. STOP the Virtue signaling Nonsense. Quit living in the year 2013.
We can only hope someones listening. The problem with a "Party" is that once you're in it it feeds off it's own. If you had good ideas and reasons to join it, they are soon knocked out of you. It's like any "club" they say tsk tsk you must do it our way or we won't be able to achieve YOUR goals. That's the death knell of your individuality. You work for "the party" after that. Not the people.
OK, I can’t tell you how many interviews I’ve watched between people trying to figure out what Democrats did wrong 2024. Hear me out, Democrats need to dumb it down And make sure they know their audience. If 54% of the US population Can’t read beyond a sixth grade level, that means they Most likely can’t comprehend complex issues and don’t understand how feeding poor people will benefit them. Democrats need to understand who their audience is if they want to attract more people. They need to speak With the vocabulary of the masses. I am a 60 year old divorced woman who will never be able to retire. I have an MBA and work four jobs. I can’t live in fear, but I certainly do live with great concern. I 100% understand how Democratic policies could improve my life, but I can also understand where another 60 year-old woman with similar circumstances, but not necessarily the same education be inclined to vote Republican. In the most simplest terms, I can think of, Democrats need to dumb it down. The sad but true reality of the state of education in our country.
Education needs to be more accessible without going into deep debt. Lack of critical thinking skills has brought too many into believing propaganda and lies.
Working people (including migrants) in cities and suburbs pay taxes that help rural communities, including racist, bigots, and all those misinformed that believe we want to harm them. If that is not an act of solidarity from our part, not sure what else we can do.
Another great meeting of minds you guys! I like John Harwood's answers to the questions as they were very well thought out and his take on trump was extremely interesting. Mind you we always thought that he was THAT GUY but to have someone who's spoken to him at different times solidifies my belief that he's a dumbo! That's a technical expression so you might have to look it up ('-') Looking forward to your next broadcast. As I'm writing this trump has in every way turned the US into a fascist police state. Protests for his B/day are mounting. trump is hiding out at Camp David, threatening to arrest a governor no less! Calling out the Marines on his own countrymen! I feel sorry for those soldiers having a Commander in Chief who's soooooo incompetant and PETTY! Can't wait for your take on that aspect. I'm in England and am following everything about what's going on there as well as here. We have issues with Palantir embedding themselves into out databases. Now Starmer wants to allow them to take their systems into our military! What could possibly go wrong? See you soon.
I have to say that John Harwood's clear and concise retrospective and assessment of the last 10 years in presidential/Trump politics and your exceptional discussion made this the best Find Out podcast yet. Harwood's wealth of knowledge, his clarity, plus your thought-provoking questions, were completely engaging. This would be a great tutorial on our recent political history! Thank you!
I think Kamala won by a landslide they rigged the election they admitted they rigged the elections which if you ever get to a vote again just make sure that you keep Elon away from the machines I think we have to hand count them
My kids are his generation and they knew better and voted Harris. They grew up upper middle class in an internationally diverse community and both are on career paths significantly impacted by state of the economy (pilot & musical instruments trade).
Why didn’t somebody on that panel explain to him that under Joe Biden we were living under Trump’s economic plan because it didn’t expire until late in the Biden Administration. That’s why voting on vibes is a terrible thing when there is plenty of factual data and information available upon which decision should be made - especially decisions that are as important as your vote. I don’t have to like my president and congressional representatives as well because to go have coffee or spend the night out In a club with any of them. Pick the smartest fucking people and vote for them - more often than not that is going to be the Democrat on the ticket.
I appreciated that this episode was recorded in the middle of the Trump/Musk divorce and we got a live reaction 🤣

He is 100% right. Even in his comments about the anger after covid on the right.
Yeah that was on the nail, but as Luke said the younger generation didn’t have that fear of catching Covid19 so they were complacent about it.

Biden is gone!!! We don’t fucking care.
I think Kamala won by a landslide they rigged the election they admitted they rigged the elections which if you ever get to a vote again just make sure that you keep Elon away from the machines I think we have to hand count them
I agree.
Biden was awesome. He actually gave a crap about the American People, unlike Trump who only cares about himself.
We need to make the 1% accountable for their actions and to pay their fair share of taxes .
No I voted for Biden. Cause the wasn’t Trump. Before he was the nominee he was not my. Choice or anyone else I knew. I grew up
In NY and new Trump
Was sham. Never thought people would fall for him
You’re an idiot! 47 is really caring for you now.
My kids are his generation and they knew better and voted Harris. They grew up upper middle class in an internationally diverse community and both are on career paths significantly impacted by state of the economy (pilot & musical instruments trade).
Another great conversation 💙
Part of it is that 16-20 year olds don’t fear anything. It doesn’t make it right.
