This is personal to me and to Jill and to Kamala and so many of you. So many of you have lost someone you love, husband, wife, son, daughter, mom, dad.

I remember going over convincing our team or others to convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees. And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they didn't.
Part Of The Problem
Trump the Gangster
So they said they had, they were walking out to press conference and I said, I'm not going to, we're not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You're not the president. The president said, I said, call him. I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars. I said, you're not getting the billion. I'm going to be leaving here.
Part Of The Problem
Trump the Gangster
I think it was what, six hours. I looked, I said, we're leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money. Oh, son of a bitch. And they put in place someone who was solid.

People are calling me up who normally don't call me up. I was like, okay, that must mean that there's at a minimum a lot of volatility in the market. Though obviously there's a lot more going on than just that.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
Yeah, I mean, I think at a minimum, at a minimum, there is this view that for a long time, you know, the quote rules, they always say businesses want certainty, that businesses hate uncertainty. These are cliches, but there's probably always some truth to why these are cliches. At a minimum, we're in a period of a high degree of uncertainty about what the trading relationship between the U.S.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
and the rest of the world is going to look like. And at a minimum, you would think that, OK, this is not an environment in which businesses are going to be inclined to make new investments, open up new factories, open up new locations, expand headcount, et cetera. I think the general perception is it's worse than that.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
So that would be the minimum is that you have this sort of period of uncertainty where there's no new expansion. But, you know, you have the hit to the stock market. You have major new costs coming through. I mean, this is something of an instantaneous supply shock, probably not quite on the order of the COVID supply shock, but a supply shock nonetheless. You have the...
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
rise in interest rates that we've seen over the last several days, that's going to affect borrowing costs. It's going to affect the housing market. That's going to affect the car market, other areas of corporate finance. So that probably has a tightening and negative effect on actual activity.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
So it's really not just, it's not just a market story, even though, you know, everyone's watching the charts on their screen and that's sort of what's getting the immediate attention because we really haven't had like the hard data so-called hit that really shows what's been going on in the economy over the last few weeks.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how anyone could say that ever. I mean, in any condition, right? In any condition, I don't know how anyone could ever say there's no chance at all happening. And when you look at just the degree of tightening that we've gotten in financial markets, and by tightening, I mean, like, if you're issuing equity, that's gotten more expensive because the price has gone down.

If you're issuing credit, not only have you seen yields rise, you've seen credit spreads rise.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
um and just the higher costs of all kinds of inputs and then the sort of negativity that's in you know out in the you know out in the ether out in the media it's hard for me to believe that there is literally no chance at all of a recession even you know i would say actually there are a lot of people there are some people who think that um a recession has started already right larry fink um
Pod Save America

The CEO of Blackstone said, I think about a week and a half ago, that the CEOs he talks to think the recession has already begun. Charlie Gasparino, who works for Fox Business, said he talks to CEOs who think that a recession is either imminent or has perhaps already begun.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
If you look at the betting markets, you know, there's like at least a 50-50% chance, according to people with money on the line, that a recession has begun. So the idea that there's no chance at all of a recession in 2025 strikes me as a little bit implausible.

I mean, there's an extraordinary amount of uncertainty, obviously. I mean, look, I guess the market presumes that there is not going to be 145% tariffs on iPhones. That seems like, OK, it's not going to be that big, which maybe some people thought that was going to be. And, you know, that would just be an eye-popping, a staggering number. But the important thing is that...

A lot of the action, if you look in the market, really took place before April 2nd, before so-called Liberation Day. And so, you know, it's like, you know, Apple is a $202 stock. This is the time we're talking about this. You know, it had been over $240 in late February.

You know what? I'm really glad you asked that question because I would just say I will do a plug for my own podcast, Odd Lots, which we have an episode that will come out Tuesday morning.

They're not that much. It turns out, and I didn't know this up until we talked to our own colleague who really knows this stuff, the number one use of so-called rare earth metals is actually in vacuum cleaners.

Of all the big deals that are out there in the world, and there are many, this is one that like people can probably chill out about. In the worst case scenario, they say like, oh yeah, this is used in like missile tech or whatever. In the worst case scenario, maybe people will come around and ask to like buy your vacuum cleaner, your Dyson vacuum cleaner from you so that they can extract the metal.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
But this is probably one thing that'll be okay.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
Yeah, I mean, like, you know, there's a huge share of goods consumption that comes from China. So there's the goods consumption, obviously, which ranges from all kinds of things, from like high-end items like smartphones to like small plastic things that you would get at a dollar store, like refillable water balloons and so forth. There are a lot of small businesses.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
I mean, one of the reasons that this is perceived by some as perverse is that you have a lot of small businesses Small manufacturing companies, in instances, who might buy some sort of intermediate good or they buy some piece from China that they reassemble and make into something more expensive in the U.S. So it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't be massively expensive.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
disruptive, that there wouldn't be companies that face some sort of existential threat to their ongoing viability from what are truly like staggeringly high tariffs between the number one and the number two economy in the entire world. And in a short period of time, you know, countries undergo trading relationships and they rebuild their manufacturing sectors.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And this is the thing that happens from time to time in history. or there's like export subsidies and stuff. There's not, you know, there's not obviously some sort of, you know, social insurance to spread the pain from these, particularly to small businesses who buy things from China and so forth. So this is massively disruptive in a short period of time.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
You know, they have revealed many different arguments for the tariffs, right? So one is it's, oh, it's about fighting the budget deficit. Some is it's about we need to rebuild a manufacturing base. My guess is that there's various versions of it. Some of it is just that Now, all of these countries have ripped us off for a long time through unfair trading practices.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And therefore, this is like the right way to redress years of wrong. I think the main theory of the case, though, is that this belief that the U.S. is an incredibly rich economy, which it is, with a very strong consumer sector.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And it's so strong and it's so central to the global economy that other countries and companies in other countries should essentially pay for the right to sell into the economy. And if their economics don't work such that paying for the right to sell into the economy no longer is viable for them, then they should set up a manufacturing base. And I think there's probably this sort of
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
part economical and part cultural impulse of like why manufacturing is per se important. And I think it's important to also address that this is obviously not just a Trump thing that a lot of politicians on both sides of the aisle, we saw this under Biden, obviously this sort of deep anxiety about manufacturing or the lack of manufacturing, particularly in advanced goods.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
We experienced it during COVID with all the anxiety around, you know,
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
pp equip you know personal protection equipment and stuff like that it's not a new thing but i think there's this clear anxiety about the fact that you know the entire world really is so dependent on one country that's emerging as a manufacturing powerhouse in almost every category that you can think of what's your best guess on what's going on with the bond markets and the weakening dollar
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
I think there's two things. It's a really good question. My co-host of the podcast, Tracy Alloway, has written a lot about this. I wouldn't say there's two things going on right now. It does feel like, to some extent, there is this general flight out of US assets. And so we have this sort of trifecta of the stock market going down, the dollar going down, the Treasury market going down.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And so people look at the US, and they start to question, is the US a place where I want to park my marginal dollar? And it seems like, at least at the margins, more people are answering no. The other thing with the bond market specifically is that we've had a few bouts of really intense selling.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And then intense selling – and it's happened a couple of times at night, you know, like during the overnight futures, et cetera. There's not a lot of liquidity in the market. And when people are panicking, they want dollars. You know, they want to pay the bills. I always joke, you know, it's like – You have to pay your rent. You have to pay your cell phone bill.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
All these things become very immediate. It doesn't matter. I can't pay my mortgage with a treasury bond. I need actual dollars. And so you just start with the cliches. You sell everything that's not nailed down. You sell your desk. You sell your headphones, et cetera.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And so I think it's like rumblings of that where there's this like very acute sense of anxiety where it's like, I just want to survive to the next day. I just want to survive to the next month. And treasuries are one of the things in the menu of things that you can sell. Treasuries are one of the things that's available to you.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
Yeah, I mean, look, I do think it's probably too early to say. But, you know, look, there are other signs of it, too, of this sort of like, you know, the U.S. is turning away from the rest of the world in sort of very straightforward ways. That's what tariffs do. And you see various ways that the rest of the world is turning away from the U.S.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
You see it in the drop of, you know, I tend not to put a ton of stock in, like, polls of how people think about the U.S. at any given time, but they're way down. We see tourism way down from other countries already. That's already hit. You know, today there were headlines about, you know, I think there's this hope that, for example, you know, the U.S.

Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
could become have a good relationship with the Vietnamese, for example, on Pryway, one of China's neighbors. Seems very implausible to me. China is going to be an important supply and demand source for Vietnam and its future. It's its next door neighbor. There were headlines today about China wanting its companies to deepen their investment in Vietnam.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
So, you know, I think you look at Europe, you saw the prime minister of Spain already talking about deepening its relationship with China and so forth. So I think there's certainly a risk that just as we're turning away from the rest of the world, that the rest of the world, like, rethinks its relationship with us.

You know, I started my career as a financial journalist in 2008, October 2008 specifically. So, you know, the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the failure of authorities then to sort of like stem that major bank run was to always, to my mind, the sort of defining event of my career. And, you know, I always thought it would be. And COVID for a second seemed like it could be that as well.

But, you know, then obviously there was a pretty forceful economic response. And I, like a lot of people, were surprised to some extent the degree to which something resembling normalcy or something resembling the pre-COVID life came back to the pre-COVID economy and it actually came back extremely fast. This feels really different to me. This feels really different than 2008.

Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And I think it's certainly plausible that it's a bigger deal than 2008. I don't know if it's going to be a bigger deal in terms of like unemployment per se, because I don't, you know, it's a different, it's different. But the idea, you know, this seems like one of those bells that's hard to unring because even, you know, the tariffs are still here. They don't seem like they're going anywhere.

Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
In theory, the tariffs could be totally reversed, but it's hard to imagine the president credibly committing to never using them again, right? This is the problem. He could completely reverse the tariffs tomorrow, and then he could reverse himself the next day. And so I think people have really woken up to this idea that, like, the relationship that the U.S.

will have to the rest of the world that, you know, to some extent had just been taken for granted, for better or worse. over the last, you know, several decades may not be the same again.

Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And I don't think that's really sunk in yet. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely... Look, you know, Trump really... Maybe the word is credit, but you know, it was his administration in 2016 that sort of heightened this anxiety about China in general. And then there was a lot of carry-through to the Biden administration.

Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
I remember like in the 2020 primaries, like wondering with candidates, are you going to keep the then existing China tariffs? And there was a remarkable amount of continuity. In fact, I would say like...
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
It was probably like the most bipartisan consensus of any topic I could think of is this view that we have to change our relationship with China, that China is some sort of existential threat, whether it's economically or perhaps military, etc. Probably one of the most bipartisan views that there is. And, you know, I don't think I think by and large, like Democrats probably agree.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
at this point would say, no, let's like roll back the tariffs. But in general, right? But I do think like the relationship with China is probably on some level never going to go back to even the sort of 2020, you know, even the Biden era environment.

Yeah, and maybe, you know, the thing I keep thinking about, you know, and people talk about these deals and the White House, these countries have lined up, and you hear Wall Street people, it's like, make a deal, make a deal, announce a deal, and so forth.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And the thing that I keep wondering about, which I've never seen, is like, what does this supposed deal even look like with any of these countries? Because the truth of the matter is, you know, that chart that they came up with on, like, April 2nd, Liberation Day, was essentially, like, this made-up formula. Like, that was not a real measure of existing trade barriers.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And in a lot of cases, you know, they're like, oh, it's not just tariffs, but it's non-trade barriers. I think by and large, that's perceived to be nonsense. It's not obvious that many of these countries have a lot to like, a lot to give us. You know, like I imagine, sure, you might be able to like sell some of these countries more soybeans or something like that.

Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
And that's usually, you know, one of the things, oh yeah, we're gonna like, we're gonna buy some more natural gas from you. I could totally see that in some cases, but there's not like a ton, obviously, that any of these countries can give. And sure, every country has some tariffs because every country has its own internal politics. You know, it's like, why does the U.S.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
subsidize like ethanol or something? Yeah, because of politics. And so every country probably has their own equivalent of ethanol where there is like some industry that for political reasons has to be protected or is untouchable and so you have this or that.
Pod Save America
Will Trump Send Americans to Foreign Prisons?
But by and large, I don't think most countries that we trade with have a ton of like obvious gives, nor is it clear like what our asks are in many of these cases. So I'm like kind of skeptical about this idea that there's going to be this,

Yeah, it's pretty much bullshit. The cost of doing business in the bad way is higher than doing business the right way and building your campaign and your organization from the bottom up ethically with consent and people opting in. And the idea that we have to do things that people hate in order to run campaigns is not limited to fundraising, right?
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
And it's really toxic and something that needs to go. We don't have to make... shitty TV ads that people hate. We don't have to have organizational cultures run by really aggro, awful people managers with a bunch of HR problems in campaign organizations. There are lots of things about campaigns that people excuse in the name of winning or fundraising or whatever. And

Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
I think there are enough examples now, going back to us piloting certain things with Obama, Warren, Bernie, AOC, others, that you really can make different choices and have a campaign be something good that people enjoy their experience with. And by the way, that's better for the brand, right? That's better for the party. That's better for the organization you're building.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
That's better for the campaign organization that will be left over when the campaign is over, because too often a campaign, especially presidential campaigns. you wind up, whether you win or lose, it's still just an empty parking lot full of garbage, right, that the carnival left town.

And if you're trying to actually build a relationship with people who want to do something, want to help you govern, who want to help you get other people elected like them, that's a much more powerful thing politically to do. And also, it helps that you are most able to do that by doing it the right way. I like the metaphor of parking

There are a few actors that are the worst, but unfortunately, it's quite prevalent. There's very few of us, like Blue State, who are not engaged in these practices and trying to help campaigns build for the long term, build the right way. Campaigns and organizations and party committees and things like that. I would give the campaigns that you care about the feedback when they are...

But also, I think there's room here for some institution or media outlet or organization to assign itself the task of basically consumer protection here, right? If some party committee or media outlet decided that they wanted to solicit all of the complaints for unsolicited text messages and emails and stuff that grassroots donors on the

You could report out the worst actors on a campaign basis. You could go do the investigation to find out what vendors they're paying that result in these massive spikes in complaints. So I think there is a way to get at this that doesn't require government intervention or the DNC shutting people off of the voter file or whatever.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
I think surfacing it and making it a little bit more transparent would help campaigns and organizations make better decisions.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
Yeah. And I think it would be a great service to grassroots donors everywhere to just aggregate where people are seeing these spikes in complaints and these activities to the point where if you actually had it wired up and enough people bought into that, you would actually see things happen in real time and maybe be able to stop them and call it out.

Yeah, you don't have to just sit around and wait for people to come to your website and sign up for your email or SMS, right? There is paid media, right?

I think we have to say at the top of this that obviously any politically charged investigation is illegal and shouldn't happen and is awful and not something that we should accept as normal and discuss as like, oh, what are the politics outcomes for this?

At ActBlue, it's essentially a public utility for Democratic campaigns, especially the campaigns that are the smallest and need to get their infrastructure up and going.

Well, I think if you're going to be in the position where you are a public utility, and for all intents and purposes, kind of a monopoly on the thing, you have a different kind of level of responsiveness that you need to bring to the conversation when you're, in a sense, the only game in town. So I think there's more stuff that they could be doing. I really hope that the investigation and
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
illegal targeting of them is not so much of a distraction that all the other work isn't prioritized to help improve the ecosystem around democratic campaigns and fundraising. But it's really up to all of us as donors to make sure that the organizations we give to are behaving ethically and rewarding those who do behave ethically.

And then hopefully some actors around get together and help change the gravitational pull of this system a little bit as we go into the next cycles.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
Yes, it is especially problematic when campaigns that are having a great moment and make decisions about their budget around the money that they're raising right now. encounter a moment where that slows, you wind up chasing, right? And I think this is something that we've seen in different primaries and general elections over the last few cycles.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
And it's something where if you have internally given your fundraising or your fundraising team has accepted a goal of X and they see that they're only going to get to 80% of X, a lot of campaigns don't have enough of a checks and balances on their strategy for fundraising and how it works.

connects to their actual budget and money spent, that you wouldn't actually have people go out and try to spend $1.20 to raise $1 to hit a goal number.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
And not that people would even necessarily do that intentionally, but just because of how you've instrumented your system of where you spend money to raise it, you are over-predicting what the dollar you spend to bring in a dollar of donation is going to be. And so you wind up holding the bag at the end. So in a sense, you have spent too much money to raise too much money.

You should have just settled for raising slightly less money. MARK BLYTH, JR.

Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
I think if you're talking about campaigns specifically, investing in the candidates who are giving their time to you is a good filter for me. So candidates who are spending time speaking with you and producing content for you that isn't asking you for money is an important part of the equation.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
And so if you see a candidate who's spending time engaging grassroots folks in ways that are about more than money, And fundraising, that it's about organizing, that it's about policy, that it's about narrating what's going on in the campaign or what's going on in politics generally. Those are the campaigns that usually are going to be good and in good places to go.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
I think also folks who are building organization on the ground, like... It is not easy to be a field organizer, as you know from all these years ago. It is not a lucrative thing to go work on a campaign as an early job or even as a job later in life if you're taking a break from whatever else you're doing. The difference between being able to
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
hire one more person to just scratch out like a good busy work week for a campaign is such a big deal and just not that much money in the scheme of things. And so folks who are hiring and doing real organizing on the ground, those are the campaigns that I would give the extra dollar to.

campaigns and candidates are living and dying by what they can predict they're going to be able to spend.

And so when you have these moments, even though it's not, well, it's an election year here in New Jersey, but even though it's not an election year for Congress or for Senate yet, the sooner you give and the more times you give to a candidate that's doing something that you believe in, it's so much signal, right?

right to that campaign to invest more in what they're doing that got to you that made you inspired but also that to give them the confidence to build and hire that next organizer or build out the open one more campaign office in order to build out you know earlier and better for the election that's going to be next year so like this is sometimes it feels like you're sort of

But like, they're really watching and making decisions based on whether you gave today, how much you gave, how many times you get, like all that stuff is getting extrapolated by good campaigns to make their bets about how they can best win.

Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
We can see on the other side what it looks like when it's like really bad and there is no grassroots component to how campaigns are run or responsiveness to ordinary people. And so we should do some things and try to make this problem less of a problem.

Yes. And there's data to back that up. I think there were consumer complaints to the FEC and others. There's just so many more on the Republican side. And that's bad too, right, I guess.

And then in the evening, you'd be chasing the finance folks to be handling the grassroots part of it. And so I think the job now is is actually the whole campaign, right? So I think I was the first one to be chief strategist for a campaign, like coming from a digital background for Warren in 2020.

It depends on the campaign. Like safe incumbents will have, you know, there are sort of rounds of checks that come in. There are different candidates and campaigns that are almost exclusively grassroots based. That's something that candidates can change as they move up the ladder, run for different levels of office.

So for presidential campaigns in 2020, Elizabeth Warren decided not to spend time selling access to the candidate, right? So not calling rich people on the phone or having private big donors events to fund the primary campaign.

Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
And that was something that was a risk at the time, but she was able to become the first time presidential candidate ever to get to a million donors by focusing on the grassroots. And so even when it's tough, you're in a competitive primary, you can make these choices, but also donors reward the choices that you make about how you raise your money.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
Unfortunately, the answer depends, right? Because your data is, you've signed up, right, for the campaign's email list. If you gave your phone number, you're probably going to get SMS from them.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
But a campaign, especially one that loses, or for a candidate who's not going to be running for office anytime soon again, that turns in, your data turns into a way to retire campaign debt and for consultants to sell it on to the next person.

In theory, you're not supposed to scrape the FEC data in order to do fundraising. Whether the FEC data gets scraped by a voter file company, gets passed on and reformatted into something, the data finds its way to places. And for purposes, that's not really the intention. But it's also just campaigns straight up making their data available to a brokerage of
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
likely donor, likely democratic supporter, et cetera, data. And so it's the model where, unfortunately, where we are right now is that the digital experience of email and SMS has the market around your data has come to look like the direct mail market, where there are just these lists being passed around by different shops. And people just blast away at it.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
And so the consulting firm or the mail house or data firm makes money and you get bombarded with lots of texts and emails and they don't even really need it to have a high response rate, right? As long as you get a couple, it's cheap to do and then you're off to the races and doing this thing. The problem with it though is that obviously it's a terrible experience for the end user of the donors.
Pod Save America
Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
And it doesn't actually build a good file for your campaign because you might have somebody respond to an initial message.

Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
There are operatives who run shops that produce mail or digital services or technology or data, and they set up packs that look like they're going to do something, right, to help Democrats win or this kind of Democrat or fight on this issue. And really what happens is it becomes a self-licking ice cream cone for the consultant.

Yeah, there are cases where that's the candidate. There are cases, though, also where the candidate is making choices to run a very high overhead fundraising program that not every candidate needs to or should be an expert in fundraising practices.

Yeah. And maybe I'm just old school, but our clients and campaigns and organizations we work with at Blue State don't send unsolicited SMS or email.

I mean, if you think about the version on the Republican side, right? On the Republican side, the grassroots fundraising is distilled to its most grifty concentrate because they just don't need that money, right?

But it's also just a content problem, right?

Why are Fundraising Texts SO Annoying?
I think... People say things to candidates about the email and SMS that they get.

The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
But if there was any doubt remaining, that disappears when Drake takes an unprecedented step in the wake of something like this. He files a massive lawsuit.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
It is quickly on its way to becoming Kendrick's most popular and maybe defining song. And that's pretty weird.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So just last month, Drake formally sues Universal Music Group, which is not only the biggest record label in the world, but it's the one that represents both Drake and Kendrick Lamar. And Drake sues the label for defamation.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yes. They're saying that this rap battle went beyond some artistic spat and turned very real. In the days after Not Like Us was released, there was a shooting outside of Drake's house in Toronto. A security guard was seriously wounded, and the police haven't said who did that or why.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
But then there was a break-in a couple of days later, and Drake says he had to pull his son out of school because of security concerns. And the lawsuit is drawing a straight line directly to the allegations of pedophilia in Not Like Us.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So I think this is a complex question, and part of it has to do with how the song was released and promoted. Drake is basically saying that the label had a huge hand in making this song not only popular, but received as fact. He's saying that they're the ones who... pushed it to the radio, who made sure it could stream heavily on YouTube and Spotify. They're selling it to television shows.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So this is a diss track, which is fairly normal in rap music. Two rappers, they square off and rap about how they're better than one another and who's richer and more popular.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And the legal argument is that Universal, UMG, had the responsibility to know that these claims against Drake were not true. To prove defamation against a public figure, you not only have to prove that the information was false, but that they knew it was false.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And Drake is saying, UMG, this company that's given him hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, they should have known if one of their biggest, most valuable assets was a pedophile.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, I think that's what's at the heart of this lawsuit. And Drake is saying, look, the song is one thing, but hey, look at the cover art. The cover art is an aerial photo of my home, and it has markers on it meant to indicate the presence of sex offenders. The music video has Kendrick Lamar hopscotching, you know, alluding to children.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
It has shipping containers, which people associate with victims of sex trafficking. That Kendrick and the label... were underlining the fact that this was not just a joke, that these claims were very serious. Drake's lawsuit is making one more critical argument, which is that the label was incentivized to devalue him at this exact moment.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
They knew, he says, that his contract was almost up for renegotiation and that if they promoted a Kendrick Lamar song that chipped away at Drake's success and his persona, that it would be easier to sign him again for less money.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
But diss tracks don't typically become pop hits, and especially diss tracks as venomous as this one, in which Kendrick is calling Drake another rapper, a big fake, a total user of other people, and most specifically, a pedophile.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
UMG says that not only is all of this untrue, but why would we want to hurt one of our most valuable artists? They call it illogical. They say, Drake has been in many rap battles and we've put out his songs and promoted them heavily. They're saying he does this all the time.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
that UMG distributes his music in which he says outrageous things about other people and expresses his own feelings about other artists. They say he's now seeking to weaponize the legal process to silence an artist's creative expression.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Rat beefs in the past have gotten super nasty, but I think listeners have started to take them more literally. And Drake's lawyers are essentially saying that pedophilia is a red line, that it is a cultural dog whistle that means something very specific. And it's not part of the hyperbole that we usually get in rap songs.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
They gave me this new statement and they say that UMG is hiding behind calling its actions entertainment, but that there's nothing entertaining about pedophilia or child abuse. They're saying that when people hear those words and those accusations, they take them seriously and they take them literally.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
I don't think this is a slam dunk for either side. There's a lot of leeway for Kendrick and UMG to say, hey, this is just rap. But I have talked to people in the industry who think this is a real case. And Drake is being represented here by a real heavyweight, the lawyer Michael Gottlieb behind this lawsuit. He's won some huge defamation cases against Rudy Giuliani, for instance.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
He also repped the restaurant in Pizzagate that was shot up by somebody who believed there was pedophilia happening in the basement because of unfounded online rumors. He's won some enormous cases on this very subject. And if that winning streak continues, Drake could be seeing a huge financial payout.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, look, I think a lot of people take this as confirmation that Drake is soft and Drake is weak. And I don't know how you come back from that as a rapper. I think this is something that's going to follow him around for a long time and is very damaging to his reputation, especially as any sort of untouchable tough guy.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, for sure. And in the meantime, Kendrick just can't stop winning. He put out a new album that builds off of the sort of fighting spirit of Not Like Us. It went number one. He's had multiple other hits. And just this past weekend at the Grammys... The Grammy goes to... The Grammy goes to... And the Grammy goes to... Kendrick Lamar.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And not only is he saying these horrible things about another artist by name, but that other artist is Drake, probably the most popular rapper, if not pop star, of the last decade. And all of this has led to probably the most unusual lawsuit in the history of music.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Not Like Us was nominated for five Grammys and it won them all. Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Music Video, Best Rap Performance.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, look, I was stunned. I mean, there's a shot on TV of Lucian Grange, the CEO of Universal Music Group, high-fiving Dr. Dre, Kendrick's mentor, while everybody's singing along to the A minor line.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
I think there's a lot of layers to it. I think people love Kendrick Lamar. I think Not Like Us can be a really fun song for people to listen to. But I also think there's some pent-up frustration with just how dominant and Teflon Drake had been for so long. I think there's some vindication to this moment where this guy who was so untouchable was humbled.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And he was humbled by an artist who kept to himself and who was beating the drum for authenticity and truth and realness in a way that people always were a little suspicious of with Drake.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, I think it's a really huge question for Kendrick Lamar. Do you take the biggest stage known to man, you know, 100 million people watching all around the world and again celebrate the downfall of your nemesis? Are we going to collectively as an American people celebrate? Dance on the grave of Drake one more time is not like us going to be the centerpiece of this halftime show?
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Or will he leave it to the side and say, let's move on? But I think people are really pulling for this song, like they want to hear it on the Super Bowl stage. And I think that speaks to how catchy the song is and how it sort of wormed its way into culture and people really relate to its message, even if they don't hate Drake.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
But I don't think you can ignore the part of it that appeals to a sort of very American bloodlust. Like there's this sense of loving violence and winning and rooting for someone's demise. I think that says a lot about us as a culture, probably more than it says about Kendrick.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, look, celebrities are built up to be torn down all of the time. We get sick of people. We like to see them humbled. The only thing we love more than watching a rise is watching someone's downfall.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Well, I think you have to start with these two artists, who they are, where they came from and what they've come to represent.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Drake is one of the unlikeliest rap stars of all time. He's from Toronto. He's Jewish, biracial. He was a child actor in the show Degrassi.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
He seamlessly blended rapping and singing in a way that very few artists before him had ever done before.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
He compares himself very often to Michael Jackson. He has more than 300 entries on the Billboard singles chart. Like no other artist besides Taylor Swift even has 200. He's basically the blueprint for a modern day star. And he has a really long history of beefs. Fairly regularly, he's squaring off with somebody in hip-hop who is challenging his primacy.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
It's kind of his thing that he's willing to get down and dirty and fight with people who are not necessarily on his level. Hmm. Kendrick, on the other hand, is a bit more old school.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Kendrick is a very, very introspective, poetic, genre agnostic writer. I mean, he won the Pulitzer Prize for music in 2018, which no pop musician had ever done before.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, and he's been on this journey for years where he's really looking deep within his soul and his generational and family trauma, what it means to be a Black man in America. And he's in this lineage of... great artists and storytellers from Nina Simone and Marvin Gaye to a rapper like Nas, who was really holding it down in the late 90s for the writers of hip-hop, not the glossy hitmakers.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
But unlike Drake, Kendrick's not really one to get into these beefs. It's not his thing.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So what's really interesting is they started out as collaborators and maybe even friends. These guys come up together. Drake gives Kendrick his first hit.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And Drake takes Kendrick on tour, letting him open for him. And there seems to be a bond here as two guys who are trying to remake rap music in their own image. But as they get more and more popular and sort of end up at the same level, this symbiotic relationship, this collaborative friendship starts to become much more of a competition.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
They start mentioning each other, sometimes by name, but often more subtly in raps. And you get the sense that Drake thinks Kendrick is self-serious and pretentious, and Kendrick maybe thinks Drake is a phony. And fans are always itching for it to really explode into public view. And they're like, is this happening? Are they really going to fight?
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Are they going to war, these two defining artists of this generation? But for a long time, it was really much more of a Cold War. And that went on for many, many years until last spring when it all explodes and gets super vicious super fast.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So it started last spring with a series of songs. Kendrick comes out of nowhere with this really aggressive guest verse on a song by Future where he says... Drake is a way worse rapper than I am, and we shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Basically daring Kendrick to come at him directly and have this big fight that's been bubbling up for so many years. Drake's track is about how Kendrick is really short, has a bad record deal.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, and Drake's feeling so confident that this isn't really something Kendrick does. Kendrick doesn't come out to play in this way. That Drake is basically daring him to come back. And Drake goes so far as to release a song... in which he pretends to be Tupac and Snoop Dogg using AI. These are two West Coast rap legends. These are Kendrick's heroes. He's from Compton, California.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And Drake is rapping in their voices, daring Kendrick to come back at him.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, and this is Drake's ring. Drake loves playing on the internet. He loves memes. He loves speaking the language of young people. Whereas Kendrick likes to float above it all. He's riding his bike by the beach with no cell phone, only popping in every five years with a concept album. And Drake basically doesn't think that Kendrick is ever going to take his bait.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And he's really high on that feeling that he's going to dominate his rival on his own home turf.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So Kendrick says, you want to play? We're going to play. And takes the bait. Euphoria. Comes back at Drake. with some pretty devastating psychological dissection saying, you're not authentic. You're a big faker and nobody likes you. And in fact, I hate you.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
He comes right out and says it. Wow. I hate you. He just says it. And these tracks start flying back and forth between them. It was probably the most chaotic weekend of my life as a rap fan. And as it went on, it's just getting increasingly personal and specific.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
These things are coming sometimes one after another. And then the knockout blow. Psst. I see dead people. Not like us.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
I think it's the combination of what it sounds like and what it's about. It starts with this really bouncy West Coast beat. There's these really catchy violins sampled by the producer Mustard. And Kendrick sounds really loose, which is not something you can always say about him. He sounds like he's having fun. But the things that he's talking about are not fun.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
What he's doing is saying some of the most audacious stuff of this entire beef in the punchiest package, the headline of which is that he's calling Drake a pedophile. He says very early on in the song, you know, they don't treat pedophiles well in prison, so you better not ever go there.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And then he culminates this first verse where he's dropping all these bombs with a pun that is also extremely catchy. He says, hey, Drake, aren't you tired of trolling me? You're trying to strike a chord and it's probably a minor. Minor.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
No, not that we know of. Drake has never credibly been accused of pedophilia or anything criminal, in fact. But Kendrick was pulling on a narrative that did exist online. Drake is a massive celebrity. And like any celebrity, there are unfounded rumors that follow him around, one of which is about his relationship to teenage girls, whether he's too close with them...
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest rappers in the world, both now and for the past decade. He's the first rapper to ever headline the Super Bowl solo. I think that's worth noting. But you're right, one big reason he's at the Super Bowl this year is because of the enormous popularity of one song that he put out last year called Not Like Us. Not Like Us was a number one hit.

The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
So Kendrick didn't pull it out of nowhere. He just put a melody to something anonymous commenters online were already saying about Drake. Right. Kendrick did another savvy thing, which was pull on another long running thread of criticism about Drake, which is basically that he's a big phony.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, one of the things that's made Drake so successful and so beloved is that he's fluent in many, many different styles. He is very, very chameleonic. And this has been a boon for his career, but it's also been the source of a lot of criticism, especially in rap, where authenticity is valued. So people are saying, who are you? Who is this guy?
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Why are you continuing to put on these different personas and these different voices? And Kendrick comes right out and says...
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
You're not a colleague. You're a colonizer. And you're using all of these artists who are cooler and hipper and more real than you and you're taking their credibility.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And Kendrick puts it very simply in four words. They not like us. He's saying, I'm real. Me and my friends, the guys I hang around with, the people I make music with, we're true to ourselves. You, you're on some other stuff. I don't even know who you are.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, this song hits the top of the Billboard charts. And because its chorus is so easily adoptable, this us versus them mentality, Not Like Us is immediately everywhere.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
It's at Kamala Harris rallies. It's in the clubhouse when the Dodgers win the World Series.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
I talked to a bar mitzvah DJ in Los Angeles, and he said there was no song last year that 13-year-olds wanted to sing and scream and mosh and dance to on the floor of their party than Not Like Us.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
And that, to me, is just baffling when you think about the specifics of this song.
The Daily
The Story of ‘Not Like Us’
Yeah, I think you could say that he took a page from Drake's playbook, for sure. He made a diss song that was also a pop hit, which is something that basically only Drake had ever done before. And I think Not Like Us is received not only as a killer Drake diss, but also as an instant smash hit. There's just no question that it wins Kendrick the Beef.

Really, I've never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country and a woman of mixed race.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Vatican Selects American Pope, Joe Biden's "TORTUROUS" Sit Down with The View, and More with Ruthless Pod | Ep. 1068
Well, look, first of all, I did not advise her to say that, number one. Like I said, I was vice president. I understand the roles. Number one. Number two, I think it was, I think she was talking about she wouldn't have changed the successes we've had. Not opposed to that we wouldn't change anything at all. She has to be her own person. And she was. She was.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Vatican Selects American Pope, Joe Biden's "TORTUROUS" Sit Down with The View, and More with Ruthless Pod | Ep. 1068
And so I think that that was used in a way that is contrary to what she meant by when she said that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Vatican Selects American Pope, Joe Biden's "TORTUROUS" Sit Down with The View, and More with Ruthless Pod | Ep. 1068
And I think that... You know, she was part of every success we had. We'd argue like hell, by the way. No, no, no. That's good. We'd sit and say, well, what about this version? Joe, I don't like that. Anyway, we worked it out. Oh, my Lord.

I knew it wasn't going to happen right away. The projects, the benefits. How do you lead the world without having the best infrastructure? How do you lead the world without having the best health care in the world? How do you lead the world without having the best education in the world? How do you lead the world when you don't have that done? And they're all set up to do it.

And last thing, I thought what he would do, I thought he'd come along and be smart. I shouldn't say that. I thought he'd come along and say he did it. Look, when you have the lovely lady from North Carolina who talked about me with such affection, saying Joe Biden did more than anybody did and so on as a criticism. Remember? I ran as an ad. That was good.

I brought, and we actually, this is a guy who left with the largest deficit any president has added when he was president and cut it to choice. What's it all about? Cut all these programs.

Trump Declares Victory Over Houthis, Biden's Media Tour, US Spying on Greenland: AM Update 5/8
The Houthis have announced that they are not, or they've announced to us at least, that they don't want to fight anymore. They just don't want to fight. We will honor that. and we will stop the bombings. And they have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore. I think that's very, very positive.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump Declares Victory Over Houthis, Biden's Media Tour, US Spying on Greenland: AM Update 5/8
They were knocking out a lot of ships going, as you know, sailing beautifully down the various seas. It wasn't just the canal, it was a lot of other places. And I will accept their word. And we are going to stop the bombing of the Houthis effective immediately.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah. So I guess I have to start it off with, in my opinion. But other than that, you know, it was... Almost like, again, you know, speculation, but a jealousy that was going on where Brian was giving all his attention to Gabby and not to his mom. And then you could see on how things changed and how she was very critical of Gabby and getting on her for things that her own son would do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And then you had that letter that she wrote, which was just...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah, that was a little Norman Bates style letter, right? That was a little rough there. I don't know how a parent writes that to a child and thinks it's funny, but apparently they did, so...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So I guess it shows that they knew, again, my opinion, it shows that they knew where things happened. Remember when Gabby first went missing and we were frantic and bring in the national media? Yeah. we had from Wyoming all the way down to Florida. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, so you're talking into a 2,500 miles, you know, at that point where they had hired an attorney in Wyoming, you know, to represent Brian. I got it. One sideways. So, um,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
No. So I've never spoken to them. Matter of fact, the first time I heard them say anything was at the deposition.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yes. For the civil case, because we wanted answers. That was that was the reason why that was done. And once we got the answers, you know, we weren't going to get anything else from them at that point. So it really was is what it is. But, you know, when we first went to the national media. Her story wasn't picked up as fast as people really think. It was once the Moab video went out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I think that's when her story really blew up because, you know, I guess in previous interviews, I had said that it was like maybe she's, you know, she's pretty or it's her color or it's the story. You know, that's why her story went out that, you know, as far as it did. But after watching the Netflix documentary and seeing the reaction afterwards, I
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I realize now that it wasn't just her color or the way she looked. It was just that so many other people see themselves in that position and really just empathize with Gabby because they've been there before. And not just here in the States, all over the country. I mean, all over the planet. So it's just such a prevalent problem.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And the fact that people now are doing these videos on how they survived and how they got out and all that stuff, I'd love for that to continue, to inspire others to do it. If someone feels safe and comfortable enough to where they can share their story and inspire others to do it, I think that's going to help get rid of the shame from the victim and really put it where it belongs on the abuser.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know what's really good, though? I'll tell you this is all the support that we got. All right. So anything that we wanted to say publicly, but our attorney told us we weren't allowed to. Sorry, Brian, I love you. Was everyone else said it for us. Like we didn't have to defend ourselves or come out and say something, you know, that's not accurate because people did it for us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And the support that we got. was, I mean, unfathomable. So again, that's why we have the foundation now to, to, to help out as many people as we can because everyone helped us. So we're trying to repay that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
That's just it. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It's a few things. Listen, I got a great support system, you know, and not just with Tara, my boys, Nikki, Jim. So when there's hard times, like yesterday was Gabby's birthday, you know, yesterday we just sat around and moped around the house all day and did a puzzle.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Like, that's like, I, I, I will never work on her birthday ever again, you know, but, um, not that letter that you showed, like, it's such fiction. Like you can't help, but laugh at it because it's so ridiculous, you know? Um, We know it's not true, you know, and the fact that he even thought that that was OK to write just shows where his mental state was. You know, we try to really take as much.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
See, I'm all for, you know, learning lessons. You know what I mean? That's something I've always done since I was a kid. You know, take the learning lesson from whatever you can. And what we've learned from this, we're trying to help others, you know, take the pictures, take the videos, because you never know when you're going to need them, you know.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And that's what helped with Gabby's story when it came to her missing. You know, I talk about it a lot, how... We were on hold trying to get her story to do an interview while she was missing. And one of the producers asked me, hey, listen, do you mind if we use her pictures and videos from online? And we said, absolutely. I guess he meant to put me on hold or mute me or mute himself.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And he told his boss, yeah, we got permission. This is going to be a sellable story.

you know and you know i i and i'm not i'm not faulting this and i understand sometimes you get desensitized with certain things being in the line of work that these people have to yeah and and if my heart breaks from because they really you know they hear the worst stories you can you can ever imagine right so but when people go missing those videos the movements the sound
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Take them, you know, take that as a learning lesson, you know, stuff that we learned from DV, go to the Gabby Petito foundation.org, you know, and look at, you know, the resources that you have, because I'll tell you this more than anything else. I know you asked me how I feel. The reason why I'm able to do that is because of the work that we do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Most people don't even know where to begin to find resources. We say it all the time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
There's the phrase, stop, drop, and roll. I don't know about you, other than the fireman that might be watching this, how many times have you almost been on fire? I can tell you it's not very hot. where how many times have someone been in a domestic violence incident? One out of three women, you know what I mean?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
One out of five men, 10 to 20 million children a year, you know, that number is so much higher. Why are we not talking about this? This is a life-saving education by learning about it and talking about it and making people aware. It's not a dirty secret, you know, stuff like that. Take the lessons and show them to everybody and, Hopefully you won't have another Gabby story.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So that's how I laugh and stuff.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
There's a few things.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I don't know what we can really get into.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
There are other things, too. You know, you can't lock someone out of their home, right? And they were on a road trip. That vehicle was their home, and that car was registered to Gabby, right? So taking the keys away from her and locking her out of her vehicle is not something that someone should be able to do. You know, there were, I think, two 911 calls, to be honest, of Gabby being hit.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So when you do all those things and then there was also a lethality assessment should have been done in Utah. And you can correct me if I'm wrong on that, Brian, since since like 2018, which now actually the law patent now they actually have it as a mandate since 2023. killed. Name was Mandy Maine and a domestic violence incident, you know, but she happened to be the Lieutenant governor's niece.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And when someone who has that type of power, you know what I mean? Can get things done quicker. And that's how we were introduced to the lethality assessment. Because once we learned about that, We actually brought that law here to the state of Florida. That was signed last year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
And, you know, we worked on a committee with the police chiefs, the Sheriff's Association, DCFS and other DV organizations to help bring it here. And they rolled it out here, too. And we're working in other states to do the same because it is it is a tool that can help a lot.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah, so a lethality assessment is a series of 11 questions that a first responder or police officer will ask to figure out if a person's in a lethal situation or not. But just asking the 11 questions isn't as important as the... the, the, uh, the county or the department to be tied in with an organization for domestic violence via shelter and stuff like that. So they get the training.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Well, they'll ask you, have you been strangled before? Is this person, you know, are there kids in the home? Maybe kids that are not theirs. They'll ask you a bunch of questions. You can see it, too, that it's all broken out. But it's in the way that they ask them. And the really important part is letting the victim read their answers back. Because it's almost like that disassociation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
When you read a book and stuff like that, sometimes you feel like you're in that book or you're in that character. When they read their answers back in their head, they're like, I can't believe I answered that way. Like they know whether or not that's the truth. So it's things like that can really make that difference. And I said, now Utah has that law. Florida has that law.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
New York has got a bill right now. We're working with Wyoming to do it, Georgia to do it, as well as other countries to do it, too. So we've been asked to help out with Australia and Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
we wanted it to be used as a learning tool. So we've learned that Gabby's video from Utah has been used in police training across the country from what we understand. And we want that to continue. The whole point was to take lessons from what you saw there through the whole thing, from the beginning to the end. And that was important for us. There were a lot of documentaries that were made, but
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
The domestic violence calls are the most dangerous to officers, too. So having the right training tutelage when it comes to how to how to handle that situation is all. Like you said, you can look at the Florida bill, the Utah bill and how to handle it. It's a great program. You know, again, but having the resources is important and knowing where to go when you're in that situation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, if you could put the phone number up, 1-800-799-SAFE. You know, I mean, that's the number to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. That's a great place to start. You know, that's the number that we give out, you know, all over the country here because it is 1-800-799-SAFE.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, this is the one that we wanted to make, you know, ourselves. And we think they did a fantastic job with it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I guess you can call it that. In Florida, we just wanted the answers, to be honest with you. Brian Laundrie's estate was an arbitrary number that didn't exist. Brian didn't have money. He was 22. One's got nothing to do with the other. We're strictly focused on helping people. That's what we're doing at this point in time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Did they finally tell you what you think is the truth? You know what I mean? We got as many answers as we can get. And we're not going to get any more. And to be honest with you, all it would do at this point in time would be selfish gratification for a few seconds, and then you go right back to being hurt. And there's never closure on the death of a child. So...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
it's not going to help me hearing those answers at this point anyway it really isn't you know now now we want to hear you know other stories and get those things out get as much information out there to maybe inspire someone to leave or help get a story out there for someone that's missing that you know can hopefully you know get get found right away i mean that's that's what we do now that's that's our focus
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Yeah. Tara and Nikki travel a lot together. Jim and I, you know, we'll go travel together. We'll play golf together. Yeah. It's been like that for a long, long time. It wasn't always easy. You know what I mean? There are disagreements that you have, but we always put Gabby first. And if you do that, you're going to be all right.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
I've had some pretty, pretty well known people contact me and just want to tell me their story, you know, and for hours cry to me on the phone, you know what I mean on their own domestic violence issue that they had to, you know, go through and that it really doesn't hold any, any status or race or gender.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
you know uh it affects everybody and not just women you know there's there are men who are victims you know what i mean yeah uh and when men try to tell their story they get laughed at you know what i mean people don't take them seriously you know so uh that's something that we have to start doing to you know like 10 to 20 million children a year are you know are they have to watch the trauma that that goes through watching your parents you know do that you know to one another
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
It really is just, it's a conversation. And that's, that was the point of the documentary to start that conversation to me as loud and as vocal as possible to make sure that people talk about it in a way where it's an open conversation. There's no shame in it for the victims. They can tell their story without fear of being judged and get the help that they need. And yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Well, it's a lot, you know, you can have hereditary traits, you know what I mean? You can have, but it really boils down to control. And that's, that's the main thing, you know, when you, and that's why leaving a domestic violence situation is the most dangerous because that's when the control is gone. And so, yeah, it's, listen, if you don't have a partner, like an equal partner, you
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
maybe this relationship is not the best. Listen, I don't know what's going to work best for everybody else, but I can tell you what works for me. 40 for her to be honest with you. She tells me what to do, you know, but it's, it's just really that way. You know, it's, you gotta, you gotta be equal and you gotta make sure that you're able to have that open communication.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
So if you can't, you probably shouldn't be in that situation to begin with.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
One of the things I did learn, though, for me, like it was it was you ever see like the Chihuahua and then the Pitbull, right? The Pitbull thinks it's the size of the Chihuahua and the Chihuahua thinks it's like the size of the Pitbull. You know, for me, listen, I'm a bigger guy. I'm 6'3", 270.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Like, it was kind of eye-opening where if I was to raise my voice and how intimidating that could be, you know what I mean? And having to learn that and understand that is very difficult for some people. And knowing what, you know, how a relationship is supposed to be.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
to go you know raising your voice throwing stuff like that's not okay and situations that you're in like that again there's a phone number 1-800-799-SAFE that's you know we should talk about it more you know we should teach our youth that you know the you know uh these are the signs these are what happens you know so the more that we talk about it the more that they see
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
the less likely you can help the ones. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Listen, I understand wanting to protect your child. I get it. You know, you want to get an attorney and stuff like that. I get it, you know, because sometimes, you know, nothing happens and you might need it. So I understand how wanting to protect your child, you know, and I also understand that they lost a child.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, that's something that we understand, you know, and I sympathize with that when it comes to them. That's the only thing that I sympathize when it comes to them. But again, You know, if my child would just do something wrong like that, I would say, listen, you know what? We have a problem. You need to look here for your child. You know, we have an attorney. I'm not going to let him speak.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
But again, my opinion, I think Brian would possibly be a lot if they held him accountable.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Will do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
Different Brian.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
You know, when you look at it in retrospect. I didn't like any of her boyfriends. No, I said I didn't like any of her boyfriends. Never did. Because she's my baby. You know what I mean? So I always had that mistrust, but nothing to the extent of what happened. So...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
No, so Gabby's the one that wanted to travel in the van. Like, that's something that she wanted to do. You know, I think he kind of went along with it for the ride, but when you look at domestic violence and the processes that it goes with, you know, the isolation, you know, from friends and then family and then themselves and...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Petitos Speak Out About New Doc, and "Snow White" Controversies and Baldwins Red Carpet Drama, with Link Lauren and Christian Toto | Ep. 1031
uh all that stuff so uh i i think he was into it you know because he would have her all to himself so i didn't think uh from a from an abuser standpoint there's no downside to that because then you have them all to yourself so uh but this was what gabby wanted she really wanted to travel the country and uh

I just lived up the road in an apartment complex when we moved to Delaware. And because it was a four-lane highway that was accessible, my mother drove us rather than us being able to walk.
