christopher was born. i just never went back to work, because motherhood ended up being a lot harder than i expected. that s the whole core of your campaign, right, is universal basic income. how much of that is not just people who are going to get automated out of a job, but people who are working at home? stay-at-home parents, it s caregivers and nurturers and even volunteers and artists and people that do things that help move society forward, but right now don t get any recognition. it s the message of this new campaign video. andrew has said that women do the hardest, most unrecognized work in our society. i have to ask you about your relationship. when you met, you have said that he had no game. yeah, she did say that. yet here we are.
i hear you. no. i hear you. now when this announcement was made back in 2016 much was being said about how having harriet tubman on american currency would ensure every american knew her story, beyond the underground railroad and contribution to ending slavery. what do you wish more people knew about her? i wish more people now about her civil war effort. because she was a patriot. a patriot when she doesn t have to by. be. when america s foot was on her neck and a bounty on her head and yet she came at the at the behest of govern andrew from i m sorry governor andrew i think it was johnson from massachusetts. and because of her skills because of her ability to be able to be unrecognized, to be able to move in and out through different areas without
i want to get your view of this deal. you know all the players. you know richard shelby. you know the house players in the conference. what do you see happening on this deal? well, i think the first thing that everybody needs to realize is the single most important asset the president had in this negotiation was mitch mcconnell saying i m not going to bring anything to the floor, in the past saying i m not bringing anything to the floor the president won t sign. now he s saying, i m bringing this to the floor and i sure hope the president signs it. and so when you know, what this is, is kind of a shift, honestly, that s going unrecognized, in the past, in the midterms, mitch mcconnell needed the president. the president delivered a couple of key senate races, went out there and campaigned. i think that table has switched. i think the president needs mitch mcconnell much more than mitch mcconnell needs the president, to maintain their power base. and so i think that s kind of one

last thing before we go here tonight, whitey bulger is gone. and while we re never really sure about anything where whitey bulger is concerned, he lived unrecognized, after all, for years in santa monica, and while the federal bureau of prisons confirmed his death, saying it was the result of a prison beating, today, a friend of mine in boston texted me to say, i m sure he s heading here, meaning even in death, boston will be wary that whitey is coming home. it would just be nice to have some proof to know for sure that whitey is gone. it was probably for that reason that one bartender in south boston today was asked to comment on whitey s departure from life, and he declined. whitey bulger was a lot of things, in no particular order, a stone-cold murderer, a full-on thug, a snitch, a chameleon, and
