I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro, and this is The Interview from The New York Times.
So I'm pleased to see you after four long years of exile.
I actually listen to The Daily. I have it on my podcast.
So you want us here? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The... It went from being kind of a Democrat to being a Trump Republican. And the reality is that there's not much difference between that. The traditional Democratic Party was a lot like MAGA in that it was the party of the working class, American manufacturing, blue collar workers. The goal of that party, at least what it said it was, was to
Increase the real wages and prosperity of blue collar workers. And I was very comfortable with that. I grew up in a single family household with my mom. We had a hard life. And I identify to this day with the working class.
I became really intrigued by Thailand and one day as I was thinking that maybe I should go there.
And I looked over and it was the Peace Corps table.
Of course, I had to say yes because of the synchronicity of the whole thing. I don't want to get too Californian on you, but that was an interesting moment.
I mean, the whole ability to see the world from outside the United States, it makes you very humble. And when I came back, it motivated me to go into policy.
My only goal as mayor was to address the problems of traffic congestion, the overcrowded schools. the awful sewage system. I mean, it was a populist campaign, just at the local level on a different set of issues. I mean, I sometimes joke I was like mini-Trump before Trump.
I was the macroeconomist teaching business students how to forecast the economy. And in about 2002 and 2003, I began to notice that the business students who were in the fully employed program were losing their jobs. And it was like, what's going on here?
It wasn't simply...
Like currency manipulation, like counterfeiting and piracy, the use of pollution havens, things like that.
Oh, it's just, you know, it's just radical, crazy guy, you know, this kind of thing, right? And I thought, look, these people don't get it, except among all of the corporations and unions and plain old folk that were getting just hammered by that. It's like, okay, let's keep going on this. And I'm thinking, you know what? People...
read books but not a lot of them anymore so let's do the movie and then he also creates a documentary which is narrated by martin sheen and it was the same kind of reaction hollywood and it's like oh you're exaggerating stuff
When I did my Death by China movie I went to Dayton and I saw the people who would otherwise be in factories walking around with shopping carts, stealing copper out of homes and buildings, whatever they could, and then going and using the money to get high.
President Trump, the way we intersected was through an interview, interestingly enough, that he did for the Los Angeles Times in 2011.
And he proceeded to do something I'm not sure I could even do. He listed his top 10 books by title and author. And I was number six, the Coming China Award.
