Governor Tim Walz

workers' safety, environmental safety, and that. And we don't acknowledge that enough, I don't think. There you go. And they, you know how Republicans are, I'll cut your taxes and, you know, we'll cut government spending. But now you have all these stories, people saying, well, I voted for Trump and I wanted them to cut government spending, but I didn't mean me. I didn't mean my stuff.

We as Democrats have to connect that government does deliver positives, does deliver things. But we also are we're fallible. And and in some cases we get in the way. So say it.

Tell him thanks for me because I agree with him on this. I think he's trying to figure out a better way that this isn't an all or nothing. And this is an advantage for us because Republicans are telling people that all government stinks. You're going to regret this. And I was down in Iowa when the tornadoes are hitting. It's really good to have weather forecasting. Really good.

Yeah, no. And look, it Adjacent to this, Voice of America went silent today, which I tell you, having listened to Voice of America living in Asia in 89, I found out that the Berlin Wall fell through Voice of America. And there's a reason that they didn't want you to hear that when you're living in China, because that's pretty threatening to their way of doing things.

So I think we haven't conveyed that. the power of that communication. And as the landscape has changed so greatly, because look, I know you're, you're taking a risk doing a podcast, doing something to try and fill a void that's out there. And hopefully trying to use it as a platform to articulate our values to a different or broader audience. But we've not figured this out yet.

And I don't, do I think we'd have won this election if we'd have gone on one of those podcasts? No, no. Probably not, but I don't think we'd have got beat by more. You know what I mean? I don't think, I think it would have been a chance, but I think any place we can go to talk about our values, the value of these town halls too, Gavin, is that they slow things down and you can talk things through.

And I think at the end of the day, you start finding out you know, there are people out there saying, well, I didn't really realize that. I didn't see it that way, but we're as guilty of this too. I want to go on to places where I get, you know, confirmation bias, which I already believe it. And then of course people turn to, we've got to broaden it. We've got to get to more people.
