Gov. Wes Moore

Like, let's talk about the fact that there were tens of millions of people who just decided not to vote because they do not think this system works for them. And the reason I know who they are is in many cases, they're actually my family members. You know, I remember when I first ran for governor, I had to convince members of my family to vote for me when I was running for governor.

And it's not that we're not cool, like we're cool. It's that I had to convince members of my family to vote. You had to register to care, to get an assistant. And even the ones who are registered just to go out. because it's like they don't see how this system works for them. And the truth is, it hasn't.

And that's why I think we have to be real, real careful about somehow spending our time defending a status quo, when for real, for many people, the status quo never worked for them. So how are you, you're defending something that's indefensible. That's in many ways, that has been Trump's genius, is that Trump has been a vessel for the frustration He's just not a vehicle for the solution.

Yeah, but I don't think you have to defend the institutions, right? For me, this is not about saying, oh, everything about the institution is right and you all are not getting right. This is about saying, like, listen, I believe that there are certain things within these institutions that needed adjustments. I actually agree with you.

For example, you know, I was a White House fellow for both the State Department and USAID. And even when I was there, and that was, shit, like 12 years ago, something like that, maybe more, 14 years ago. Even when I was there, I was kind of like, how do these two things work when you ask a single question about how much foreign aid are we giving to Botswana?

Why do you need to talk to eight different people to get an answer? I actually have questioned that for a while. So it's not saying I'm defending the status quo. What I'm saying is there's a way to do this. There's a way to do this is actually data informed. There's a way to do this that is humane. And there's a way to do this that actually makes sense.
