How To Make Centrism Sexy (feat. Sen. Cortez Masto)

Yeah, it's a great question. And one of the if we want an indicator, right, like you said, winning is an indicator. Well, if you look back at the last election. Actually, moderates. We outperformed. And if you look at the seven swing states of the senators and governors out of the 21 positions, we won, what, 15 of them. So moderates outperform in these states. And that's a winning indicator.

But the other side to that is just in general, people need to understand, I think there's more moderates. across the country that are looking for this common sense. Let's just work together. Let's find solutions. Let's make sure everybody else's life's better. How do we work towards that goal? And let me just give you a perfect example. I was coming home. I was in the Reno airport.

And I was actually leaving Reno and heading to Las Vegas. And a constituent saw me, said, hey, Senator, Senator, is that you? And I said, yeah, how are you? And he said, I just want you to know I'm one of your constituents and I support you. But I'm also one of your constituents that voted for Donald Trump, but also voted for Jackie Rosen. And that is not unusual in swing states like ours, right?

And so those are the type of, and that's what he said, I just want everybody to work together. I just want the common sense, solve problems. How do we move forward? And that really is where I'm coming from in a lot of our moderates. And that's why our voices need to be heard because it's a whole constituency that is out there that just wants people to solve problems at the end of the day.

Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov
How To Make Centrism Sexy (feat. Sen. Cortez Masto)

Yeah, I would say don't confuse the ability and the willingness to work across the aisle and find common sense solutions with the idea that somehow we are not outraged and willing to fight back and push back and take action when necessary. Listen, I am... an attorney by trade. I was an attorney general fighting for people and their rights.

Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov

And at the end of the day, what is happening to women's rights across the country is just outrageous to me. And the fact that women have lesser rights now than they did 50 years, for the last 50 years. It's crazy. And the fact that they are taking away essential programs that we need in healthcare and mental health.

Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov
How To Make Centrism Sexy (feat. Sen. Cortez Masto)

Let me just say, I've been a senator that have fought for mental health resources in my state for the last six years. And we brought in over a billion dollars from the federal government across the country and millions of dollars into Nevada to address mental health challenges that we were seeing because of COVID-19 and even before of COVID-19. And this administration has cut those programs.

I mean, it's just crazy to me. I fought for peer counseling programs. And so to me, that's why the outrage is absolutely there. But part of this is I know I have to be strategic and smart about my fights and taking them on. The big ones are key. Mental health to me is key. Women's rights, that's key. Rule of law, absolutely. I'm not going to back down.
