So lots of ways to get involved. So sorry for hopping on about this, because obviously you're very popular in Boston. My thing right now is I'm wondering, whenever I can get a Democrat who's actually popular, which is very rare in this country. Every time I get to sit to someone who actually, it seems like both sides of both tribes seem to get behind such as yourself.
I kind of focus on the kind of the outreach to the other tribe more. So for example, if someone was to tell you, you know, like recently you got, I guess you got, you testified in Congress about sanctuary cities, you know, which is one issue in many things. And you defended yourself well. What do you say to the people in your constituency who might feel like, hey, why are we doing this?
What's the big deal with this sanctuary city thing? If people are illegally in the country, shouldn't we arrest them and get rid of them? What is the big deal?
So, I guess... I guess, I mean, look at these, I don't know, these people from Boston or something. I don't know what's happening here. These people came here from Boston. So what advice would you give to the Democrats running now about how to not be such losers? Or, like, connect to the people more.
It seems like there seems, I don't know, I truly don't understand what's happening, because every day on this show, we talk about some bullshit that happened, and then nothing seems to matter, and then I'm like, I guess nothing matters anymore. So there's clearly a disconnect between the Democratic Party, or maybe politics in general, if you're being generous, and the common people, right?
There's some kind of, there's something weird happening. Like, is that, do you feel that way?
And now you're the government.
Okay, so... Um... Well... Look, I mean, I don't know. If you can become the mayor of Boston, maybe, you know, one of arguably the most racist cities in America, then maybe there's hope for everyone yet. I mean, I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know. I got a lot of love for Boston. They were nice to me when I was there. But there is a stereotype of the city, which you are totally, I don't know. I still don't understand how you got elected. I mean, obviously you're good at your job and you're charming and all that, but that was enough for them to convince them?
No, New York City is perfect. I'm not sure if you... I'm not sure if you've been out there. This place is great. We got, you know, we got rats and feces. I hear that there's like a secret WhatsApp group of Asian mayors. I met the mayor of Cincinnati.
Can I join this group chat? Put me in. For me, I help you guys out. Okay, look. You're Mayor Wu. You're the best. Thank you for representing all Asians. Thank you for making the city of Boston great. I appreciate all you do. I know it's a very thankless task. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, everybody. We're gonna take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this.
What do you got for the rest of the week, Ron? Well, John, we'll be covering the bankruptcy of 23andMe. It's a sad day for all the people who want to learn their family history, but a great day for all the secret fathers who wanted to keep that history quiet. And, of course, smart people like myself don't just give out our genetic information. I keep mine safe and secure.
Okay, that was a small mistake, but otherwise, my OPSEC is totally clean here. I'm glad to hear it.
And here in Arizona, people thinking about the afterlife are choosing something new, whole body donation.
To investigate, I hit up a popular spot for the old folks to see if body donation really was all the rage. What do you want to happen to your body after you die? I'd consider whole body donation. Have you considered whole body donation?
So you seem pretty old and close to death. What do you want to happen to you after you die?
What made you think of doing that?
Do you have any friends?
A human chop shop? These were people, not cars you strip down for parts. I turned to a team of lawyers trying to end this horror. So what the is happening in Arizona?
