Hey, folks, we took a break from Memorial Day, but before the long weekend, we sat down with Rahm Emanuel for a conversation recorded last Thursday. We got into the issues surrounding Biden, the Republican transfer of wealth to the rich, and what Democrats need to focus on. Here's the episode. Enjoy. Welcome to Raging Moritz. I'm Scott Galloway.
And I'm Jessica Tarlow.
Jess, joining us today is someone who's worn a lot of hats in American politics, two-time mayor of Chicago, former White House chief of staff, and most recently, U.S. ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel. Rahm, welcome to the show. Thanks, Scott. Thanks, Jess. We're going to jump right into this. The headlines this week have been dominated by the news that President Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. That comes on the heels of a week already full of questions about his health, and a Quick question. Did Biden's narcissism and entering into consensual hallucination with the Democratic Party that he was the best candidate for president, is that a big part of the reason that we reelected an insurrectionist?
Look, I mean, I have a couple answers on this. You know, look, White Houses are insular. Yeah. And the Oval Office is seductive. And while you talked about his medical condition and all this, my take on this is this is Shakespearean. And the reason I say that is I've worked with former President Biden in three different functions. One, I was assigned by President Clinton when I was senior advisor to work with him on passing the Violence Against Women Act and the assault weapon ban when he's a senator and I was, as I said, senior advisor for the president. Then our offices, when I'm chief of staff for President Obama, are adjacent to each other. And then as ambassador that he appointed me, and I'm 8,000 miles away, we worked through this historic agreement between Japan, Korea, and the United States. So I've seen him at different stages from different locations, and I've seen him change. And what saddens me, and I'm just saying this as a friend, genuine friend to him, he's a good man.
who did good work, who wanted one thing in life, which was to be known as somebody that was significant. And the tragedy here will be that his last act is going to become a defining act. And it is going to actually undo the one thing he wanted out of his life, which is it's going to, I won't say obliterate, that's a little dramatic, but it's definitely going to color in a very significant way The one thing he wanted. And had he stayed true to his commitment in 2020 and said, I'm going to be a transitional, I do believe this was, you know, this gets back to a question. Could the Democrat have won this race? I've always thought a Democrat could have beaten Donald Trump. He didn't get 50 plus percent. And I feel empathy for him because he wanted one thing in life.
