Want to hear what these characters have to say about immigration about Climate Change about Justice Reform all sorts of things but they dont want to be spoken out they want to be spoken to because they saw what trump did not covered a lot of trump rallies whether you like this president or you dont he connects with his audience thats what these candidates need to do i agree with that and i disagree on the brains taking over the party because i think youre seeing one the leading candidate is joe biden whos a very moderate democrat and youre also seeing candidates like america who by all estimation is not a huge lefty this is someone who is a mayor hes from the middle of the country he runs as a moderate and youre seeing him resonate in a compelling why so i actually i do agree i do agree here that its going to be a little bit different when it comes to whos the most woke and whos the candidate who can really take donald trump on because those 2 things. Theyre very different in a lot of people thats how it all pete had this mayor pete had this past week i think revealed everything and he clearly had some tension with the crowd so lets stay that way lets set this up really nicely because if youre watching internationally youre not going to be following this so we have matt pate is lets say hes playing cards and im really you tell us about mike 8 ok ok well mayor pete is young hes gay and he may or this city in indiana and the town hall he put on last week was tense because there were you know hes clearly caucasian and there were africanamericans there talking about homelessness and sort of bringing up a failure of his in how hes led as a mayor and he didnt seem to connect with the crowd he didnt have that like theyll have a dinner and look at that moment and is that even more serious in the way that youre setting it up because were also talking about racism within the Police Department and hes the mass so people were bringing up that issue to have have a listen to somebody in the town hall talking to pete. After story is disrespectful then i wake up every day skin is disrespectful. To. The states any racist. Put them at the desk make them do paperwork but the people that care about the fact that you different here make the ones out there on the streets. If anyone. Is on patrol is shown to be racist. Were to do something racist. In a way that is substantiated. That is their last day on the street. So what im wondering does that help elevate a candidate the fact that theres a moment then everybody is paying attention to how it deals with yeah i mean i do want to credit the mayor one he suspended his campaign after the tragedy in the shooting theres a Police Shooting in south bend and he suspend his campaign went back his number one job is to be mayor to his constituents and i think that has been very easy for him to hide very easy for him to go to iowa and to be prepping for the miami debates but he went back home and so i think that that shows his resolve and his seriousness look that is not a situation that any Public Servant wants to be in where there arent easy answers thats the thing about Public Service thats the thing about being a legislator things get messy and things get hard i see this as an opportunity i mean i agree it was not the greatest that stop it and i think it was not the greatest performance of opportunity but i do think that there is an opportunity for mayor p. As he said that now that theres a spotlight on this for him to have Real Solutions not just for south bend or for the country this is a situation that affects every community and so well see i mean the spotlight will be home pete in these debates and he will and i imagine the 1st question he will get be about this so be very interesting to see if he has this resolve and then go out and buy the Indiana Police unions out in response to that town hall meeting but these are the kind of complex challenges always come that its going to have to face are going to have to juggle with Police Forces who want support from officials but the public and this situation is being going on for decades so there will know you know thats going to be a difficult thing. For him to face but i think perhaps a more difficult thing for him to face is is america ready for an openly gay candidate thats a serious question its not flippant in any way in these very important debates coming up but i think thats a question for the American Public certainly lots of democratic voters ive ive talked to say i really like him i really like this guy from in the ana but im not sure the country is ready for someone. Who is homosexuals so i think thats something that will that he certainly will face but then when you think about the ages of Bernie Sanders and joe biden of course is in the lead in the polls right now those both those candidates are in their late seventys so you know its difficult but then in the last few days youve got both warren and bernie counting this idea to clear off old student debt really kind of you know appealing to those millennial who are way down by all the student debt but again thats an easy target for the republicans to say ok so you want the bus drivers of today to pay for the boys of tomorrow that would really backfire on both of these candidates so its very complex its very early as we all know the democratic ticket counter till next summers we have a long long way to go and im far from making any predictions at this point because we all know what happened in 26 thing so sandy making it even more complex is perhaps a generational divide now brad you alluded to this earlier so i want to bring our International Audience in on what were talking about this from fortune this headline Joe Biden Cory Booker should apologize not me this is the former Vice President who speaking about senator cory booker from new jersey sum up what happened for a reason i do want you want that job some of why joe biden the saying that this young senator should apologize to him oh what was it that you dont think joe biden ended up saying i dont have a racist bone in my body right and i think that thats all you really need to know here is that there were accusations lobbed at one another about the past and i think joe biden feels that for a book or should sort of get in line and respect somebody whos been. Vice president United States essentially without getting too deep i think this little you know skirmish reveals that maybe some of these candidates are not happy letting joe biden be the front runner and i think that really gets to the very root of the problem here is that democrats are going to continue fighting this infighting will not let somebody come out and be ready to be that clear front runner who has the ability to. Really create a campaign that is aspirational and one that can really use the media to its damage the way that trump did thats why i see how we need to take this back to i would say that americas achilles heel which is race so joe biden was saying i can bring the country together he actually talks about segregationists senate until about an era of civility and says i was never a boy and if you know what that means the way to that then said you need to apologize and im not going to apologize. It just i just want to jump in here because i brought that up because our community has so much to say about it so before i pivot this around i want to share what some of those thoughts sound like this is jim who im going to read 3 tweets remember because i dont want to misquote him he says i worry i will dig a hole for myself here but here goes bidens comments on being able to get things done with eastland who has to stop segregationist he never called me boy he always called me son thats what biden said i found that shocking clearly that was because eastland was a racist and biden is white bidens ability to reach across the aisle had nothing to do with not being called boy why was this not clear and bidens mine its a mystery to me i dont believe that biden is anything close to a racist himself he has a strong track record in favor of civil rights but its remark was ill considered and betrayed a thoughtless ignorance of those terms so i could hear you trying to get in there can you see where this is something thats ripe for people to jump on and say youre out of touch. I muchly not sure because i think one of the things the Democratic Party has to deal with is Political Correctness i think a large majority of voters have simply had enough with being told that this although that it cant use this kind of language and while joe bidens language may have been in correct and perhaps he was right that he was called out i think theres a sense among the voting public that enough with all this Political Correctness lets just get on with talking about policies lets talk about how we dont trump a not start accusing each other of various Different Things of course joe biden has a long record and the big thing for these these debates is whether the other candidates perhaps the ones with less to lose attack bite because you know way ahead in the polls but thats a double edged sword if they decide to attack the former Vice President that could be seen as negative the voters may not react very well but at the same time some of them have nothing to lose they want to bring this guy down but hes very popular yet look i say this with all deference and respect for Vice President biden as i said work in the Obama White House used to work the Vice President i think that in my opinion Something Like this makes biden a better candidate in the long run because i think that while i do agree the Political Correctness run amuck this was just off on a number of different ways i think one this is these remarks were at a big hot wall street fundraiser so you say mr hall much of rich people and hes really trying to. Pine for the days of mr avila where republicans and democrats can come together and Work Together and when reality we were dealing with obstructionists and republicans when joe biden was in office 2 years ago we couldnt get marriage garland confirmed to be the Supreme Court justice 2 years ago so its a little bit of an alternate reality here where were pining for the days of working with segregationists when at the same time we have to confront the reality that we need to we need to not look to the past but looked. The future and i do agree that you know. What was the gentleman mame who said we need someone whos inspirational i dont know that when he yeah i see that every single president ial hes for a president since 94 i think hes 100 percent correct one because. Pining for the days of working with segregationist is not going to fire anyone under the age of 45 years old and so i believe that you know senator booker with respects corrected senator biden and i think hopefully we wont make these types of mistakes in the future and i think hopefully biden will do a little bit of what mayor pete and Center Warren is doing which is they are evoking emotion and they are clearly delineating the vision that theyre trying to create not hearkening back to the past well all of this may not matter if the economy keeps doing as well as it is a little bit sure thats an undeniable obstacle of democrats may have to overcome you know if in 18 months time unemployment numbers are down the market is sky high if the president is just about any kind of deal with china you could see the market going up 2000 points in one day that may be the biggest obstacle because you know it was bill clinton famously said its about the economy stupid and it essentially always says its about what people have been purses and wallets about how they feel about the economy about this spending power and right now if that could be the biggest democrat challenge in my mind so i hear you on economy im going to raise you on Foreign Policy because thats what the a few members of our International Audience of course thats whats on their minds i want to play a video comment from mike brand a conflict prevention specialist and heres what he told the stream. In the 2020 vision this is what issues Foreign Policy be seen so much in the road of the current president and we need a president whos going to do or see her vision in both his Foreign Policy and those who addressed the root causes and drivers of confluence of environments its a recurrence of change and many other factors we need a vision of those Foreign Policy that will address these issues so we can be sure that were consistently trying to put out the fires. Prevention focused Foreign Policy thats what he wants arena ill give this one to you because right now as we speak are in the mitts a very heated rhetoric around iran so were clearly not in a prevention focus Foreign Policy or would you make of his comment. Yeah thats not going to happen i dont think in our lifetime right now you have neo cons in the white house people like john bolton and mike pompei oh sure that doesnt happen i mean these people want war lets not make any mistake about it and these are the people who are advising the current president and state say he gets another 4 years i still dont think it changes anything. We will you know in addition to the economy i think voters especially female voters will go to the polls we think about security how safe do we feel and i think right now. When i talk to republicans in all parts of country in the west in the mid atlantic in the south they feel that trump is keeping them safe these are republicans who are both male and female and people who didnt support trump and who now do and those who are lukewarm about him now despite having voted for him and i think it all boils down to this is that we havent had a large scale terror of it and that is kind of the thing thats helping trump if you ask me the most along with the economy so those 2 things intend to present a really unique challenge to these people behind us because how do you make the case for the oval office when things are seemingly fine to the vast majority of americans we are generally a very uninformed citizenry were a lazy citizenry and its true i mean its like we dont know what we have until its taken from us and thats where my movement were when i was part of the Never Trump Movement sees the biggest challenge with why were so small i guess we have about a minute left in this show i am really curious is the beginning of these democratic president ial debates start how are they going to do once you start seeing them talking to each other to brace each other brad youve got 30 seconds. Look im a nerd so i cant wait this is like the super bowl for me. I mean i have all kinds of beer guacamole and its going to be great people know im looking for a breakout stars and that 1st night theres a lot of people that will be introduced to the American Public i dont get a lot of it was that here mr jenkins your time is i think out here you have 30 seconds pressing well i dont even need 30 seconds im just trying to work out how to say that. Because gosh im going to get it ive seen also different pronunciations but i think these these debates are very important as as a previous panelists said it gets the American Public the 1st chance to meet these people because somebody said to me just the other day in the street yes well this point its the media that is decided who they like. And. Get to have you oh john from arizona says i think if the dems put up a strong candidate like bernie they have a good chance of winning otherwise they deserve to lose and they will and the people will suffer as a result thanks for that oh down and arizona cant miss me its going to be a year before we know whos going to be the president ial candidate for the democrats in july if they hear thanks for watching everybody.
