Chapter 2: What are the key issues facing Democrats according to Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan?
We have a very special guest today on IHIP News, Lieutenant Governor from Minnesota, the highest ranking female Native American, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan.
Thanks so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here with you. I'm so happy to meet you. I have been pulling for you. I did not realize that the United States had never had a Native American governor. So when Governor Walz was running with Vice President Harris, I was like,
The number one thing I'm excited about is for them to win. The second thing I'm excited about is to have a Native American governor. And we got neither, and we got a complete net running the country. So add it to my list of disappointments with the election. Well, I think that's the least of our problems, but I appreciate your support. The good news is that we have the opportunity to have a Native American woman governor in Deb Haaland, who's running in New Mexico.
Joten minä yritän olla ensimmäinen naito-amerikan nainen, joka toimii Yhdysvallan puolustuksessa. Olen erittäin kiinnostunut sinun puolustuksesi. Sinulla on populistinen viesti, joka näyttää olevan jotain, jota demokraattinen järjestelmä on onnistumassa käsittelemään. Ja huomioin, ettei sinä oteta APEC-muotoa. Miten se tekee sinua verrattuna toisille valmistajille?
Chapter 3: How does Peggy Flanagan view corporate influence in politics?
Kyllä. Minä en oteta korporatiivisen pakkojen rahaa, koska mielestäni korporatioiden on paljon voimaa Washingtonissa. Se on meitä, jotka sitä tarvitsemme. Se on kaikkien puolustajien puolella, ja mielestäni se on se, mikä vaikuttaa.
our elections and the results that we're getting. I also do not take APAC money, nor do I think that they would give it to me. But I made the decision to speak out and say that I would have supported the Sanders resolution this summer, that both of my senators, Senator Klobuchar and Tina Smith,
to say that we're not going to have offensive weapons going to Israel when children are starving. And that's a position that I stand by. I'm a mom, I'm a child advocate, and we have to use our voices to speak up when we see
I can call out Benjamin Netanyahu's government in the same way that I can call out the Trump administration as well. I think we need to use our voices. That's what I did. Now they've decided to go after me and they're supporting my opponent in a big way.
Eikö se ole niin frustroivaa, koska tehdä oikean asian, koska Citizens United on saanut ihmisiä, jotka haluavat tehdä oikean asian, terveelliseen positiiviseen tilanteeseen, jossa on mahdollisuus kilpailua taloudellisesti, ja se tarvitsee niin paljon rahaa, jotta voidaan mennä nyt.
Right, and that's of course, we've known that for a long time, but really running for Senate is the thing that has just, for me, opened my eyes in a major way. People want us to do the right thing. People want us to be courageous and simply nibbling around the edges isn't getting us anywhere. When I travel across the state of Minnesota, folks aren't saying like, gosh,
Pidä huolta. He sanovat, että olkaa vahva ja tehdä niitä asioita, joita meidän on tehtävä tehtävä. Ihmiset eivät voi tarjota elämäänsä juuri nyt. Meidän täytyy varmistaa, että menemme suureksi, jotta ihmiset tietävät, että he voivat uskomaan meitä. Ja että me voimme haittaa heitä, mutta ei vain vuonna 2026. Se on se, mitä rakennamme.
For 2028 and 2030 and 2032, we need a democratic party that is no longer fighting from a defensive crouch, but is telling people what it is that we're for, that we're going to fight for the things that they need and that they deserve.
I completely agree. And I'm just wondering, what was your thought, your first reaction when you heard that the Senate had caved on the government shutdown? I was so profoundly disappointed. And it goes back to leadership in the Senate is old, stale and governed by corporate interest and seniority. And so as somebody looking to be in that body, what was your reaction?

Chapter 4: What are Peggy Flanagan's thoughts on the recent government shutdown?
the U.S. Senate before. I think democracy works best when it accurately reflects the community it seeks to represent, and it is bedtime. And believe it or not, I will be one of the youngest people elected to the U.S. Senate as a 46-year-old. And so
You know, and there's only four women, four moms with kids under the age of 18 who are serving in the U.S. Senate. Boy, you know, can you tell? So it's time. Exactly. How do you address, how do we look at the economy as it is right now and say,
Kyllä, ihmiset on... Heidän täytyy saada hallituksen autoa, koska minimum wage ei ole muuttunut vuosina. Se on $7.25. Olin rikollisuusjärjestö, ja teet tämän ohjelman. Olin tekemässä sen yhden päivän aiemmin ystäväni kanssa, ja sanoin, että, oletko sinä itkettä?
It's unbelievable. So how do you in your campaign and moving forward if you are elected, how do you intend to address the minimum wage issue? Absolutely. So I am the former executive director of Children's Defense Fund Minnesota. And so when I was at Children's Defense Fund, I co-chaired the campaign to raise the minimum wage in Minnesota. And the big fight for us was to make sure that we were also indexing it to inflation.
Chapter 5: How does Flanagan propose to address the minimum wage issue?
Koska kustannukset olisivat aina menneet ylös. Meidän oli tarvetta, että perheet pysyvät ylös ja sitten pysyvät ylös. Nyt joka januuri viime viikon aikana olemme nähneet vähintään vähintään vähintään vähintään vähintään vähintään vähintään vähintään vähintään vähintään
child outcomes and a seven dollar and 25 cent minimum wage that hasn't been increased in 16 years is completely unacceptable so i believe that we need to fight for at least a 17 dollar minimum wage um to just be very clear that what we are seeing now 42 million americans who are on snap
Many of those folks are working. Many of those folks, for example, at Walmart or Amazon. We are subsidizing these companies because they do not pay their folks a wage that is high enough for them to not qualify for public programs. It's outrageous. They're spending their SNAP dollars at their employer. It's double dipping. Let's just pay people a living wage so they can just live the lives that they want to live.
It's so important to restore dignity to the working person. The person that works at Walmart busts their ass. They have to deal with the general public, which to me would be one of the downsides, and people bitching and complaining. On top of that, they don't earn enough to exist without supplemental income. It's crazy to me. Let me ask you this.
Jennifer ja minä puhumme tästä podcastista, että Amazon käyttää infrastruktuuria, Walmart käyttää infrastruktuuria. Kaikki nämä isommat yritykset käyttävät infrastruktuuria, mutta he eivät tarjoa lainsäädäntöjä ja he eivät tarjoa sitä. Amerikkalaisen lainsäädäntö on suositellut infrastruktuuria, joten haluamme infrastruktuuria.
Joten jos oikeasti käyttäisit esim. Amazonia, niin sinun täytyy palata osan käyttöä, jotta pääset taas infrastruktuurin budjettiin. Miten se kuulostaa? Se kuulostaa melko hyvältä, koska nyt ihmiset, jotka työskentelevät Amazonissa, ovat maksaneet isomman lopputuloksen, kuin eri yritykset itse asiassa. Se ei ole oikeastaan oikea.
situation that we are facing right now. It is folks at the very, very top. It is greedy corporations who are getting sort of everything they want and need with a just free ticket from the Trump administration and congressional Republicans that we have to say, like, who are we actually for? The folks at the very, very top or people who literally are the ones who make this economy and this country work? It is overdue.
I think people are smart enough to start to understand that. These are the conversations that I have all the time about how unjust this is and people are ready. They want fighters and they don't want folks who are just simply going along to get along or worse, taking campaign
contributions from amazon right and then somehow saying in the other hand they're going to hold them accountable it's outrageous and people are smarter than them i hope you're right so after the 2024 election i'm not 100 sure tell me about i did not know
