Here are my two conversations with Senator Chuck Schumer. Senator Schumer, in your book, you write that you rarely faced anti-Semitism when you were growing up in Brooklyn. What was the moment that you felt that things changed in this country that made you want to write the book now?

I'm also not sure that everyone understands the important relationship between Jews and the United States itself. What did you want people to understand about the way American Jews feel about their place here and the way that that's changing?

I hope I did. You did write it in your book, but it's true. It is a very good summation of Jewish holidays. You know, we seem to be at a moment in American life where issues of identity have become very charged. When you were entering politics, how did you navigate how much to make Jewishness part of your brand in your life? Not that much.

You just mentioned this idea of inauthenticity when you were talking about recruiting. And you wrote that in the book. You said voters can smell inauthenticity the way bloodhounds track assent. Yeah. And it did bring to mind the situation Democrats find themselves in at the moment. Do Democrats have an authenticity problem?

I've heard this from Democrats before, though. This isn't new. I mean, I think that that is something that has always been the rallying cry of Democrats against Republicans.

I am glad you brought this up. What I'm hearing you say is that you need to get back to the original message that Democrats have had.

There is a sense, though, that whatever messaging Democrats are doing right now is either too little, too late, or, to use a little bit of Internet speak, a little cringe. I mean, I've noticed a discernible increase in the way party leadership, including you, is attempting to use social media since the election. Yeah, you are.
