#462 โ€“ Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson: Politics, Trump, AOC, Elon & DOGE

Like you have to, the idea that you only go where people agree with you is genuine lunacy. I don't want to act as your booker here. And 20, you know, 2020 candidates are what they are and they each have their own press strategy. But I would say like, I'm doing this myself on my show. I like,

I don't think the best people to get right now in the Democratic Party are the seven people who lead the polls. I'm looking for people who will think out loud. I just had Jake Auchincloss on. He's a not-that-well-known House member from Massachusetts. I just think he's a guy who thinks out loud. I am... Booking someone else right now like that.

I have two more people like that, frankly, who are neither of them. They're like the net. Like I could get like a bigger name. I'm more interested in people who are thinking like one reason I think Bernie Sanders always did everything is to him. The thing he was really doing was he had something to say.

The point of almost everything for Bernie Sanders is to be in a place where people can hear the thing he has to say. And a lot of politicians don't have that, right? The point of anything is what it does for them in the polls, what it does for them with the donors, how it repositions them. I'm interested right now at this moment, because it's not 2028. It's not 2027.

There's no Democratic primary happening right now. The idea that you can pre-run the Democratic primary is stupid. We don't even know what the... We might be in World War III. We have no idea what, you know, we might have, you know, AGI. Like the things that the 2027 primary might be about, the kinds of scandals that might have erupted by them are totally different.

And I think a lot of people who are not, you know, there are people who are trying to protect something, protect a standing in the polls, protect a sort of coalitional set of allies they currently have. And then there are people who are, you know, trying to just be heard. Again, a lot of Bernie Sanders' culture, the way he does media, is now Bernie Sanders is Bernie Sanders. He didn't used to be.
