The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Eric Holder: Institutions Have Failed Us, the American People Have Not · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

Congress has failed us.

The Supreme Court has failed us.

The only thing that is going to save this nation, that's going to save this democracy, is the American people, an engaged, focused, committed American people.

Yeah, where law firms failed us, where universities failed us, where tech bros failed us, the American people have not.

What we see in Minneapolis is in some ways the most profound demonstration of that, but we have seen demonstrations of people getting together all around this country, everything from the No Kings March to things that come up in a more spontaneous way.

And so I think that the Democratic Party needs to understand that there is, even just from a political sense, there is a well of support to tap into.

But beyond that, and more important than that, if we are going to save this democracy, Democrats have to be not an opposition party in normal times, but a defender of democracy.

And that's what this is all about.

I'm not being hyperbolic.

I'm not being alarmist.

But unchecked, this administration,

when it leaves in 2029 and i'll make that assumption could have changed in a profound way the nature of the american experiment and we can't allow that to happen i agree with you i think this ends in january of 2029 when a new president is sworn in but what are the instruments to protect what we have right now well the floor is to vote but that's not the ceiling i think it involves or requires civic engagement on the part of the american people

And I think what we have to do is, again, learn from our history.

It means getting out there.

And, well, you know, if you can't march, and I think you should try to find ways to do that, you know, supporting candidates, becoming engaged with political campaigns, working with organizations that are doing things to try to save our democracy, the League of Women Voters.

There's a whole range of organizations that are looking for support.

If you are issue-oriented, you know, work with those people.

But somehow, someway, get engaged.

Now, it won't be an easy thing.

We all have busy, you know, personal and business lives.
