Problems with the election because trump only won the county of seven or 800 people by 82%. and this wonderful story in the new york times about this clerk who is being criticized by her neighbors and all the people she has known for life is a reminder that democracy is not a mountain, it is not a building. it exists because of local officials, and the reason why the 2020 election was not overturned was because of these actions by these local officials. these people, i think, democrats, republicans, non- partisans are all heroes that make democracy still exist in this country and don t take it for granted. and i am on a bipartisan crusade of my own. good luck with that. red panda is somebody you may know, if you have seen a basketball game. she happens to be the greatest half-time performer of all time. red panda is the older chinese
Of ronald reagan s action mandates. when i think about waxing back to the people who laid the foundations for this evolution, trump did not come to us in a vacuum. trump came to us because people lay foundations for hatred and bigotry and sexism. and i feel like i don t want to go back to the party that i could recognize of ronald reagan. but what i do want to say is people that we are leaving out in this conversation are the voters. i am constantly saying to people the election is not the end game. it is the starting game. you get the democracy you want and you get the democracy you participate in. and who do you want to fight? that is my whole thing. who do you want to fight? do you want to fight a madman or do you want to fight somebody who might listen to you, where you can get the needle moved? because these are the people. i don t think the election is going to be won by biden if
For you. met mix of the order of the show here, but when roe was first overturned we saw abortion rise up to the top of issues. since then we have seen it fall down. i know the democrats are making a big deal of the abortion issue. do you think it is something that motivates voters? because i don t think it s going to be democracy, and i wonder if it will be abortion as something that trumps the economy, for lack of a better term, and becomes a real motivating issue. i am the right person to ask. only because, you might not know this, i am on the ground all the time talking to people. and this is where democrats are actually making a mistake. i do think abortion pulls better than politicians. and be as ballot initiatives we are seeing in over a dozen states were initiated by the people. not by politicians, by the
Concept is a little pie-in-the- sky. think about democracy dying in darkness, did not really work as a slogan for the washington post. but this week, with the remembrance of the day, it was not just the stark contrast between president biden and donald trump. it was also between donald trump and ronald reagan. ronald reagan gave one of the most important speeches of his presidency in normandy. he stood against russian aggression, he stood with his nato allies. so isn t there a question to ask of all republican voters, where has your party gone? because the current gop and what donald trump represents bears almost no resemblance to ronald reagan. it is why you saw joe biden looking almost like reagan and referencing him while he was in france this week. i am not going to go down that path, because i have somebody who does not have friends who are alive because
Hardest thing. to believe it requires something bigger than ourselves. we have never had a significant anniversary of d- day where democracy and western democracy felt as under threat and as fraught as it does this year. both in europe and at home. what you make of donald trump s threats to jail his political opponents? i will talk you in about three years from now. you have to take donald trump at his word. i think there is nothing that will stop him from doing such things. the jerry and hunter biden s trial was just dismissed for the weekend after emotional testimony from hunter s daughter . will wait to see whether hunter biden will testify in his own defense on monday. will you accept the jury s outcome no matter what it is? yes. and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? yes. i just went through a rigged trial in new york. his first public campaign
