Julian Castro is joining us, everybody.
Also on tonight's show,
why billionaires are having nightmares,
why Nazis aren't jerking it,
and Kentucky slaps Donald
Trump in the face.
So let's catch up on today's headlines.
Let's kick it off with Election Day.
It's the one day of the year when it's not creepy to hang out in an elementary school.
And yesterday, we saw that Democrats are still riding their blue wave.
Democrats claiming victory. And two key races, they say are precursors of what's to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come the their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. their. their. their. their. their. Democrats are still riding their blue wave. Democrats claiming victory, and two key races they say are precursors of what's to come.
In Virginia, the former red state, turning blue.
Democrats securing control of all levels of power for the first time in the generation.
In Kentucky, Democrat Andy Bashir claiming victory over incumbent Governor Matt Bevin.
The president made the Kentucky race a referendum about himself.
If you lose, they're going to say Trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world.
This was the greatest. You can't let that happen to me?
You're thear.
You're all man. Say what you want about Trump, but he's priceless.
He's supposed to be campaigning for the governor of Kentucky, but he makes the whole election about himself.
Don't let it happen to me, guys. It's like, what about me? Shut up, it's about me.
He's the kind of person who would show up at your deathbed, like, please don't die.
You said you'd give me a ride to the airport. Please. I don't want to get a taxi. But yes, last night was a good night for the Democrats.
They won the governor's race in Kentucky,
and they managed to change the Virginia Statehouse from red to blue.
Yeah, it was a big night for that.
This is big, from red to blue.
And remember, this is in a place where the governor's face went from white to black.
Oh, and remember, remember that Virginia woman, that Virginia the v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor's race the governor the governor the governor's race the governor's race the governor's race the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor the governor, from the governor, from the governor from white to black. Oh, and remember, remember that Virginia woman?
Do you remember that Virginia woman who got fired for flipping of Trump's motor pay a couple years ago?
Yeah, well, she ran for office, and she won her election.
Yeah.
That finger launched her political career.
I'm not going to lie.
I was her. I would have my finger up the entire time I'm in office now.
I'll be like, the people voted for it.
I'd get sworn in like, I do, solemnly swear.
All right, but let's move on to some celebrity news that involves Emma Watson,
or as I call her Hermione pretending to be a regular person.
Anyway, Emma Watson is known for her social justice work as much as her acting, but her newest
cause has taken some people by surprise.
In Washington Post, actress Emma Watson has coined a new term for being single, self-partnered.
Watson says that she prefers to use that term rather than single as she approaches her
30th birthday.
It took me a long time, but I'm very happy. I call it being self-partnered. The term resonating with so many.
Self-partnered, trending, and social media.
One fan writing, I like this self-partnered concept.
Oh shit, new term alert!
Whee!
Whee!
Whee!
Although, I guess because she's British, it's more like, wee, woo, woo, wee. But I like this idea. And I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this idea, and I this, and I this, and I this, and I this, th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. thi, I like, I like, I like, I like, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th idea, and I think it's especially useful for Emma Watson.
Yeah, because when creepy dudes are hitting on her like,
hey, I hear you're single, she can be like, no, I'm actually dating someone who's better looking and richer than you.
Plot twist, it's me. Expelliamess, douchevag.
Although, people should realize, self-partner is going to be a type of relationship,
which means you're still going to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to to to theouselipeou-s weou-s weou-s weou-s weou-s and thiou-s and Which means you're still gonna get jealous sometimes, even if you're dating yourself.
You'll be sneaking a look at your own phone like,
hey, who is me, huh?
And then finding your own stuff around the apartment.
Whose underwear is this?
Mine?
I can't believe I'd do this to me.
But self-partnered makes it sound like a choice. I like that. Yeah, I think we should
find better names for other things in life. Like, I'm not a thief, I'm an expert in borrowing.
It sounds cool. That's a nice ring too. All right, moving on to some science news, if you know someone who thinks they're the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center. the center. the center. the center. the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thi's th thi. th thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm thi. I's to to to to to to to to to to thi. I's thi. I's thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin. thin. thin. thin. too. too too too too too too too too too too the thin. too the the too too thi. I's too toe. I's thi. I's thi House. And second, it turns out that's not possible.
Scientific America reports a new study suggests the universe
might actually be a giant loop.
The study was published in the journal Nature.
It says instead of being flat,
the universe may be curved like a massive inflated balloon.
The scientists say if someone were to travel outside our galaxy into deep space, they loop around
and end up back, they loop around and end
up back where they started.
Wow.
This is something I don't really understand.
Like what does that mean?
The universe loops back around, like a Pac-Man board?
So if you leave the one side, then you come back on the other side, you get the
fruits?
Is that how that works? Because I love how the news reports are like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the reporters, the reporters, the reporters, the reporters, the reporters, the the other side, you get the fruit? Is that how that works?
Because I love how the news reports are like,
we should all know what that means.
You know, like, the reporters are just like,
previously we thought the universe was flat.
We did?
I didn't think that, I didn't think that. thi that, did that, the the the the the the the universe, the the universe, the universe, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. the news. tho, thoes. throes. throes. toda. toda. today. today. today. that that today. that that that that that that that that that that that that that thews. that was like the only time. But for real, though, this is fascinating, but it'll never affect me.
It's like that time we found out that a T-Rex sounded like a duck.
I mean, I'm glad I know, but I can't do shit with that information.
Because who's leaving the universe?
People don't even go to Queens.
I mean... But if I understand the study right, if I's, if I's, if I's, if I'm, if I'm, the study, the study, the study, the study, the study, the study, the study, the study, the study, the study, than, than, than, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I thin, the the the the, the the, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. than, the, than, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thean, thean, tou., tean, tean, tean, tea.ea.ea.ea. is.ea. i. i. i. the. the. scientists are basically saying that the universe is a closed circle, all right?
It's a loop.
So if you go down one side of the universe, you come back on the other side.
So like if you travel far enough, eventually you'll find yourself.
Oh my God, Emma Watson figured it out, guys.
It's self-partnering.
All right, that's it for the headlines.
Let's move on. story. Now that election day 2019 is officially over.
The next big voting day on everyone's calendar is November 3rd, 2020.
It's the day Donald Trump will face off against the Democratic nominee or his parole board.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
But before that day, the Democrats need to decide who their champion is going to be.
So let's catch up on the latest in the Democratic race in our ongoing segment, World War D.
As the Democratic field gears up for the first big votes in Iowa and New Hampshire, everyone's focus
has turned to Elizabeth Warren.
Massachusetts Senator and Aunt who writes, I love you under all your Facebook. for the first big votes in Iowa and New Hampshire, everyone's focus has turned to Elizabeth Warren.
Massachusetts Senator and aunt who writes,
I love you under all your Facebook pictures.
Over the past few weeks,
Warren has shot to the top of the polls,
thanks to her support among college graduates,
Hispanic voters and kids who ate lunch with their English teachers
in middle school.
But there is one demographic who hears Elizabeth Warren and immediately shits their Armani
suits.
Newly minted Democratic frontrunner, Elizabeth Warren, she has got Wall Street on edge,
some would say in a full-blown panic.
Headline after headline with ominous warnings about dropping markets, investors running
scared from the prospect of Elizabeth Warren being our next president.
Some Democratic donors on Wall Street are reportedly threatening to vote for President Trump
or sit out of the 2020 election cycle if the party nominates Elizabeth Warren.
I think Wall Street, and especially the banks, have every right to be extremely concerned
about a Warren presidency.
Look, I've got to tell you, when you get off the desk, you talk to executives, they're more fearful of her winning. I mean, I've never heard anybody say, look, she's got to be stopped.
Yes, Wall Street bankers are more terrified of Elizabeth Warren than they are of a surprise
gust of wind.
Oh no, my cocaine!
Wow! Deep breath.
Deep breath.
And it's not surprising that the people of Wall Street are afraid.
Because Elizabeth Warren has proposed some of the most progressive financial policies in years.
Things like breaking up the big banks, increasing taxes on the ultra-wealthy,
and, and, yeah, and, making it easier for normal people to join the Illuminati.
That's like a big thing.
Yeah. Some dudes is going to come in like, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their to to join the Illuminati. That's like a big thing. Yeah. Some dudes are just gonna come in like, sorry to interrupt the orgy,
but what's the Wi-Fi guys?
My aunt's gonna love these pictures.
Now, it's kind of hard to take the Wall Street crowd seriously.
And not just because they still think Bluetooth is cool,
but also because this isn't the first time they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've is destructive to our economy and detrimental to the stock
market.
I think the national economy is in for a bad thing if he wins.
If it's Obama, Larry, I'm scared for this economy.
I'm scared for this country.
Numerous economists and business leaders, they are thinking the economy and the stock
market will tank if Trump wins in November. If Trump wins, you will see a market a a market th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi, thoome, thoome, thoomorrow, thi, thoomorrow, thoome, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi. And, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the th will tank if Trump wins in November. If Trump wins, you will see a market crash of historic proportions.
Yes, for both Trump and Obama, analysts claimed that the stock market would tank.
But do you know what actually happened?
The exact opposite. It's been going up for 10 years.
Because you see, in many ways, the stock market is a lot like a penis.
There are many situations where you swear it's going to be down. Because you see in many ways, the stock market is a lot like a penis, right?
There are many situations where you swear it's going to be down, but surprise, surprise,
it just keeps rising, and nobody knows why.
You're like, dude, seriously, at grandma's funeral, I'm not controlling it.
I don't understand why. It's just happening.
So the 1% are clearly not excited at the prospect of Elizabeth Warren winning the White House. But according to these billionairesaires they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they are the the billion the billion the billion the billion they are their their their their their their their the 1% are clearly not excited at the prospect of Elizabeth Warren winning the White House.
But according to these billionaires, they aren't just anti-Warran because she's threatening
their wallets. No, they don't like her because she's also hurting their feelings.
The battle of the billionaires continues after Leon Cooperman was brought to tears
yesterday on CNBC. Cooperman was, and has been very critical of Elizabeth Warren's proposed wealth tax.
I don't need Elizabeth Warren telling me that I'm a deadbeat and that billionaires are
deadbeats.
The vilification of billionaires makes no sense to me.
People can not only see the emotion on your face but hear it in your voice when you talk
about this, Lee.
Why? I care. I care. You're
that's it.
Wait,
are you
are you crying?
Are you crying?
You're a billionaire who's crying because Elizabeth Warren is criticizing
billionaires?
Would you like a tissue?
Get the fuck out of here, man!
Are you serious right now?
Let me tell you something.
The only time you should be crying as a billionaire
is when a ghost teaches you the meaning of Christmas.
That's the only time.
And I'm disappointed in this.
I'm not going to be because of all the things that ever made me want to become a billionaire. There's no, I want to become a billionaire because I thought the whole point of becoming
a billionaire is that you never have to give a shit about money ever again.
But these guys over here like, how will I afford to throw a birthday party for my yacht?
Uh-huh. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Hey everybody, John Stewart here.
I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show.
It's going to be coming out every Thursday.
So exciting.
You'll be saying to yourself, TGID.
Thank God it's Thursday.
We're going to be talking about all the things
that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election
economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're
going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know
that I listed that fourth but in importance it's
probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go but how
many of them come out on Thursday I mean talk about innovative. Listen to the
weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast.
Welcome back to the show.
The Alt Rites, every day,
these men seem to be getting angrier and angrier.
The question is why?
Well, we sent Michael Costa to try and find out.
Meet the Alt Right.
White lives matter.
White lives matter.
A loosely connected group of right-wing white nationalists.
Known for chanting confusing conspiracy theories like
theories, like,
All while dressed like kids whose divorced dads made their Halloween costumes.
And these World War II reenactment rejects have one other thing in common.
They are angry.
But what do they have to be so angry about?
I'm a white guy.
Things are great.
Cops don't pull me over, I pull them over to ask for a bottle opener.
Thanks, officer.
No, you have a great day.
There's no logical reason why the alt-right should be so angry.
They're kind of winning.
But what if there was a deeper reason for their frustration?
Across the alt-right movement, leaders are telling young men not to masturbate.
It a...
Wait, wait.
What?
Clinical psychologist Dr. David Leigh has a theory about why these young men are so angry.
They're not strangling their peppees.
They know how to masturbate.
They're not going side to side, right?
They know it's up and down.
I don't think this is a technique issue.
They are actually trying not to masturbate.
You should take me hours.
Yeah, you know.
Well, I have one hand, so you know, it gets lots of practice.
This guy masturbates.
Dr. Lay explained that the main proponents of this no-wank philosophy were the Proud Boys.
Masturbation is lack of impulse control.
The Proud boys believe that not masturbating increases their testosterone
and makes them more desirable
to women, which brings up one question.
Is it working for the proud boys?
Research actually finds that less masturbation reduces testosterone.
So there's evidence that masturbating makes you a more masculine man.
A lot of really good things happen in your body and your brain, but also research is finding
that people who watch more pornography, they are more feminist, and interestingly they develop
more egalitarian values over time.
You're right, I watch a lot of gangbangs and one day I thought, oh my God, women have
it so hard.
This isn't fair.
95 guys and one girl.
We need some better representation here.
And the proud boys are just the tip.
There are stroke shamers all over the alt-right.
So Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson.
He's leader in the alt-right movement in Canada.
And he tells young men, there's nothing noble about masturbating to pornography.
That's terrible.
What else are they going to do up there in between periods of hockey? That's thoooooo-a th. th. th. And th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-y-y-y-a-a-s, tho-y-y-y-y-y-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, tho'-s, tho-s. tho-s. tho-s. tho-s. tho-s'-s'-s'-s'-s' in between periods of hockey? That's noble, that's healthy! Exactly, that's healthy. David Duke, who is a former
grand wizard of the KKK. He believes that pornography is a Jewish conspiracy to get young white men
to masturbate instead of procreating and so the white race dies out. What is it about the Jews with these guys? And speaking of which, this far right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the. their, their, their, their,the Jews with these guys? And speaking to which,
this far-right moratorium on salami wrestling
has been going on longer than you think.
The Nazis taught young men not to masturbate.
Nazis.
Nazis used sexual suppression as a way to increase malleability in people.
If we can get people to give up masturbation,
we can get them to do anything.
First they came for our fleshlights, and I said nothing.
So it's not just the insidious beliefs, mob violence, and haircuts.
The alt-right jacked this off the Nazis too?
They're teaching these kids to hate themselves, to be ashamed of them, and then they can exploit them. Wow. They go down this rabbit hole of these extreme dangerous beliefs
and become radicalized.
So what you're saying is masturbation can save lives.
Definitely.
You know what? Let's do it right now.
Let's show them all. Let's go.
I love talking to you, man.
Come on. Take out your day!
We can't show you the rest of that interview, but I will say,
when I think about these young people being manipulated into joining hate groups,
it makes me very angry and, and, and, and frustrated, and, ah, ah, mm-hm.
Excuse me for one second.
Anyway,
if you or anyone you know seems to be getting drawn into the alt-right,
before buying that tiki torch, try lighting the one inside your khakis first.
I'm Michael Costa telling all you young angry men to stop hating and start baiting.
Michael Costa, everyone, we'll be right back. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Welcome back to the show.
Good to be back.
Oh, you got some love in the audience.
There you go.
Um, so here you are on the campaign trail. Before we get into it, I just want to say this up front.
Berok was just on the show. Said to my face, that he was not going to drop out of the race.
Then he dropped out four days later.
Now I was like he lied to my face. Bero th. to to to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. tha. tha. tha. to to to to to to to to to too. toooooooooooooo. toe. too somewhere.

Okay okay I'm gonna hold you to to to to to hold you to to hold you to to hold you to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that I that I that I I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho.

I'm not that or I'm going to say that you were the curse if I do end up dropping that. You're the curse. I'll take it. Welcome back to the show.
Next time I'm going to go Colbert or something out. Right. The race has become an
interesting contest to say the least. You know you have more Democrats running
than ever before. You have a field that likes each other, but then there are a few fractions within the party that have started to show.
You know, there's the old versus the young.
There's the ultra-progressive versus the more moderate.
You have, in many ways, seemed to be aligned
with many of the policies in and around Elizabeth Warren.
She said she's loved your policies.
What do you what it is.
Yeah, she's got a great team over there, and she's fantastic.
Yeah, I mean, I think she's a very impressive job on the campaign trail.
I mean, if you look at where she was earlier in the year and you look at where she is
now, in many ways, the frontrunner, I've told her that. I think I th think, I think, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thin. I th. I thin. I thin. I tho. I tho. I tho. I thoes thoes thoes tho. I thin. I thoes thoes thoes thoes thr-a. thoes thoes tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. She's is tho. She's is tho. She's is tho. She's is tho. She's is tho. She's is tho. She's is thr. She's thr. She's got she's gota. thr. thr. toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Right. And I've told her that. I mean she's doing a great job at
storytelling with a purpose and you know, so kudos to her for what she's up to.
Many people have said that is what you have in many ways is you have a
story and a purpose as well. You know what's what's difficult in thrown. the taurific. tho's what what what what what what what's th is th is th's the th's th's th's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's is thiii's is the the thiii's is the the the thi's is the the thia's is the thiou-I's is the the the the the the the their is is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is difficult is difficult is difficult is difficult is difficult is difficult is difficult is thii is thi is thi is difficult is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is. thi is. thi is. thi isa. toe isa. t t t today. today. today. today isa. today isa. today isa. too. too. the toea. the the it feels a little bit like chicken and the egg in that if you have low polling numbers the media doesn't give you
the coverage because you don't have media coverage your polling numbers can't go
up so how are you trying to get out to voters to say to them hey I am a viable
choice for you? Yeah well I mean also you had several of these folks from D.C. that's the way it throwns. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to their. their. to to their. their. to to their. to their. to to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. the media. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. toe. toe. toe. toe. t. t. tr. tr. tr. t. tr. te. te. te. the. the. their. their. their. their. their presidential campaign bank account, right? Right. And also, you notice that a lot of the media focus on people who are in power in DC.
That's the way it works.
It revolves around DC.
And so there's a gravitation toward that.
I think you start off with an advantage.
Even though I have some of the most relevant experience in this race, I was
a big city mayor and a cabinet secretary. I I I I I I I that I that I, I hadn't been, obviously hadn't run for president before,
I didn't run for governor or senator.
But since then, it's been a process basically of catching up.
And I hope folks have been noticing that our campaign has been very different from most of
the other campaigns.
In what ways?
I've been bold, I've been fearless.
I wasn't afraid to tackle the issue of immigration in April April anybody else was talking about that. You had a lot of people backtracking, being afraid of taking on Trump on immigration.
I knew that a lot of people would think, hey, you know, if you were at least an immigration plan,
people are going to think you're the brown guy doing brown things.
But I said, no, I mean, this guy thinks that he's going your own for the future. That's what I did on police reform.
Before you move on, though, that is an interesting point that you bring up because what you said
at the debates became a talking point that has followed the Democrats now and that was you
said you want to decriminalize illegal border crossings.
Now it is a very confusing term because some people think that means crossing the border into America illegally means you could just come into America.
Which is not what it is.
That's not what.
So what does it mean for those who don't understand the term?
What it means is we would go back to the way that we used to treat somebody crossing
the border without permission, which is that it would be a civil offense. that throwneii th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. It is thi. It is thi. thi. It is thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's, that's, that's, that's not, that's not, thi. that's, that's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it is, it's, th. th. th. th. It is, th. It is, th. It is, th. It is, th. It is not. It is not. It is not. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's thi. It's thr-a. thr-a. thr-a. thrown. thrown. thrown. thr. thr. thr. that's not. that's not. that's not that's not that's not that's not thr-a. thr-a. thr-a. thrown. that separate migrant parents, incarcerate them, separate them from their children.
So, you know, this law that he's using to do this,
that he's weaponizing, Section 1325 of the Immigration Nationality Act,
it was in effect from like 1929 to just after 9-11,
but it wasn't enforced by Republicans,
and then after 9-11, and especially with Trump, it got weaponized. We don't th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, theanananeaneane, thiia, throwne, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thiiomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomeomea, thi, thi, thi, throwne, throwne, throwne, that's, that's, throoooooooooooooooooan, thean, andeanan, thean, we don't need it. We can still have border security, but treat people with common sense and compassion
instead of this damn cruelty that this guy or a future administration might want to use.
Has it been a bit frustrating for you at times, being asked questions about Hispanic voters,
where people oftentimes automatically assume that Hispanic means illegal immigrant or undocumented worker or it
it seems like there is this there is this you know implied notion in America
as soon as people say the Hispanic votes and then people go like oh that means
undocumented or that means people who are darker dreamers etc has it been hard to
explain to people that it's not a homogenous group?
I mean you know there's more than enough I think you knowto people that it's not a homogenous group? I mean, you know, there's more than enough, I think,
you know, bullshit to go around when it comes to this.
They talk about, you know, you're right.
There's a one-dimensional view of a lot of the Latino community.
And a lot of people, when they think of the Latino community,
they think that talk about the working class, they always say the white working class. What about the black working class, the Latino working class, the
Native working class, the Asian American working class? You know, by implication there's this
sense that if we're talking about people who have to work for a living or working
for a living that it does, you know, it only includes the white working class and so there's you know more than enough in our political talk that points people in bad directions and making assumptions what I've tried
to do is just bust through all of that. Do you think not be afraid to take all
that on? Do you think that some of the frontrunners in this race and some of
your peers have made the mistake of focusing only on those votes? Because people speak about them you know they go like they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they the they they're they're their they're they're their they're their they're their. they're th. th. the. the. they're the. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the to to to to to to theeeeeeeeeeeei to to to theeeeeeei theeee Wisconsin, we've got the white working class voter, we have to win back.
And some say that there is a risk of alienating black and Latino working class voters who go, well,
what about me?
Do you think the party has maybe gone too far in one direction?
I mean, I think we have to do both of those things, right? And that's what I've thak's I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I have I I have I've that's what I've the I've the I've the I've the I've thi's what's what's what's what I've thi's what I've the I've the the the the thi's thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thee an theeeeeeeeeeeeeee an theeeeeeeee an theee an theee an the an the an th has spoken to issues of economic opportunity and also racial and
social justice and fuse those better than any other campaign, right?
Because we do have to go into Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
But remember, those are states that have rural components that are mostly white.
They also have Detroit and Milwaukee and Philadelphia that are urban and very diverse. So we have to be able to do both of those things, not even to talk about places like Florida
that are 29 electoral votes,
that if we want there, it would give us some room,
or win the election in of itself,
or my home state of Texas, that is very urban
and also very rural.
So we need a candidate that can do both of those things, energize that Obama coalition that he put together in 2008, you know, super
charge that, bring people off the sidelines and into the voting booths.
But I think that you're going to have to break through by being bold and fearless, and
that's what I've tried to do.
Um, Mayor, Mayor Pete Budergege, the today's that he thinks that the democratic race is now a two, two, two, two, two, two, two, toea, toe, toe, toe, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and, and, and, and, tho, and, tho, tho, and, the, the, and, and, and, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and, tho, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, is thiiiiiiiiiiii.a, is thi.a, thii.a, thi.a, thi.a, thin, thin, thin, thin, thr. said he thinks that the Democratic race is now a two-horse race. He said it's between him and Elizabeth Warren.
Many were like, wow, you've just written off Biden, you've written off everybody else,
and he said that this is what I'm doing.
Was it strange for you having Boudeges that have been a today?
Especially considering that you occurred in South Bend.
He then said to you, well, why not come out to my neck of the woods and I'll show you around.
Have you taken him up on that?
No, well.
And what do you think you have, that differs to him, with regards to him with, the experience of being a mayor. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, tho, tho, the, than, than, than, than, than, than, throwne, throwne, and, the, the, throwne, thin. thin. thin. And, and, then, then, and I'm, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, they. And, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. thooooooooooo, they.e. then, then, then, then, then, then, then, San Antonio, which I think is different.
And my point was that we're going to need a nominee
that can resonate in the African-American community.
Black women have been those powering our victories
everywhere from Alabama to, you know, the 2018 wins.
And so, what I said was that it's risky to have a candidate
at the top of the ticket that cannot speak to in a convincing way those different communities.
And I think the track record is there on his end.
In San Antonio, my experience was the exact opposite of that.
In fact, I got appointed to the Obama administration as housing secretary largely because
of the work that we did on the east side of San Antonio, which traditionally was the African-American part of town.
And we got a promised neighborhood grant.
We got a choice neighborhood grant.
We made other investments right away
to try and lift up the quality of life
and economic opportunity for the people that live there.
And so I just think the track records are different.
I'm sure that there's some things that he's done that are good things and I have a lot of respect for Mayor Buddha Judge, but I do think that our experience level is different.
You know, I don't need to go see South Bend.
I saw a hundred different cities when I was HUD secretary and I was mayor of a city
that's 14 times larger than South Bend.
In fact, we could almost fit South Bend in our Alamo Dome in San Antonio, right? So, you know, let me ask you this.
Let me ask you this.
You have stood out in the field for many reasons,
but one in particular, and that has been,
that you haven't been afraid to come at your democratic rivals in this race,
in a friendly way, but you haven't been afraid.
You know, with Budgez, you don't have a good relationship with them, the polls are showing that.
You took a bit of heat during the debates for saying to Joe Biden that he was forgetting
what he had just said and he had.
And people said, no, they were like, Julian, we felt like that was disrespectful.
You know that people are saying Biden's mind is slipping. Why would you say on the debate stage that he's just forgot something hehe he's just he he's just he's just he's just he's just he's just he. he. he's just, he's just, th. th. th. I th. th. th. I's just, th. I's just, thi, th-I's just, th-I's, th-I's, thi, thi, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. He's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. He's, th. He's, th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to today, to to thin. th th ththat he said. Do you think that there's a respect or a certain level of like treading lightly that needs
to be applied in the democratic race?
Or is there a reason you've gone, no, I'm just going to tell it like it is.
Well, I mean, I've tried to tell it like it is.
You know, with Biden, that he had said buy-in, and then he said he didn't say buy-in.
And I was just saying, did you forget that you said buy-in?
And so it was a reaction to that.
But yeah, I mean, look, I grew up with a mom that was a Chicana activist, a Mexican-American
American civil rights activist. And for a long time, you know, I thought, you, you th, you th, you th, I thied, you thined, I thined, I to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to you know, I thought that there was no point in getting involved in politics
because my mother had kind of come from an outsider's perspective, and I wondered whether
this democratic process ever produced anything for people.
And so when I run for office, I'm not just running to run.
If sometimes it seems, you know, sharp or pointed, it's because I actually want
to make a difference for people.
I wanted to go somewhere. And every time I've had the chance to serve, I actually have a
track record of getting things done, things that I can point to that lift people up. And so, you know, yeah,
I mean, I want to tell it like it is. I want to tell the truth. I'm very respectful to people, but I'm not afraid to take people on either. And you know what?
I think that in the fall of 2020, when the Democratic nominee is standing up there on the
debate stage with Donald Trump, you better damn well make sure that you're sending somebody
that can fight for themselves and fight for you up against Donald Trump, because
you know that he's not going to play nice.
Yeah, he gets very nice. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for joining us on the show.
Great to have you back here again.
