0:00 today we're going to talk about Democrats finally actually winning the messaging war and I interview Pete Budaj jedge about JD Vance's attacks on Tim walls' military service Trump's disastrous comments on KLA Harris's race and he compares the joy of the Harris campaign to the Doom and Gloom of the Trump campaign and I'm joined by historian and star substack writer Heather Cox Richardson to discuss the dangers of Trump's agenda and how history shows us how that agenda will lead us into autocracy I'm Brian Tyler Cohen and you're watching no [Music] lie let's be clear for my entire career in political media Democrats have not only been losing the messaging War but have been complaining about losing the messaging War when you look back at the days of Obamacare for example while Democrats were trying to explain the individual mandate and the implications of the ACA and Medicare Part D you know what Republicans were doing they were claiming that it would lead to death panels that's it death panels and you 0:53 know what it was their narrative that 0:54 stuck short pithy impactful the next 0:57 elections after that would lead to 0:59 perhap the most devastating results in 1:01 living memory for Democrats by the time Obama left office Democrats went from controlling 27 state legislatures to only 13 we lost 13 governorships and 8816 State Legislative seats it was the biggest loss in power since Eisenhower cut two the Trump era we're still getting killed at least for Trump's audience his message is concise it's catchy it's compelling build the wall lock her up drain the swamp make America great again all the while we're still complaining about our inability to message Biden comes along he wins in 2020 uh very much on the back of anti-trump sentiment but in 2024 he again can't prosecute the case against Trump even in the face of such aggressively dismal policies by Donald Trump The Narrative is so bad that the only thing the media can focus on is Biden's age our message clearly isn't breaking through and then kamla Harris and Tim Walls enter the scene they're both articulate inspiring public speakers who connect with normal people because they communicate like normal 2:01 people and suddenly it's the Democrats who seemingly overnight learned how to capture an audience with clear catchphrases that Electrify tens of thousands of people catchphrases like we're not going back but we are not going back we are not going back we not going back we're not going back we are not going back like when we fight we win and when we fight we win God bless you and God bless the United States of America and even this one that only Tim Walls can deliver in Minnesota we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves there's a golden 3:01 rule mind your own damn business and in fact one of the most potent tools against Republicans is actually the simplest one one that was debuted by Tim Walls himself which is that Republicans are just weird and despite its Simplicity it does seem to be the one that's getting under the skin of these Republicans the most probably because as they say a hit dog will holler that attack has such legs that according to the New York Times at an August 2nd fundraiser for Trump when a donor asked Trump about Democrats trying to paint the Republican ticket as weird Donald Trump replied not about me they're saying that about JD dude didn't even deny it he just deflected and then threw his own running mate under the bus so that we're clear that is not what you do when the attack doesn't have legs meanwhile Trump's best retort to the messaging Juggernaut on the left well he's claiming that Tim Wals is going to unleash hell on Earth Tim Wals the 4:02 high school social studies teacher the guy who's best known for signing a bill into law that would guarantee breakfast and lunch for school children regardless of income status right um good luck with that one the fact is that our tent is growing welcoming many of the constituencies who Donald Trump himself needs young people rural Americans teachers union workers blue collar workers military members Republicans who have chosen to prioritize our democracy no fake outs or recycled lies about about audience sizes or feigned Big Boy confidence is going to change that granted that doesn't mean we can sit back and exhale we still have less than three months and everybody needs to do their part the next three months will be impossible to forecast although I guess it's safe to say it's probably going to be kind of weird but none of that should distract us from the potential of electing kamla Harris and Tim wals who are fearless bully Fighters happy Warriors and effectively the living embodiment of the promise of America so our job is to make sure we get to work 5:01 because when we fight well you know couple quick notes this is finally the week my book

can find at the same link briantyler cohen.com book or in the post description of this video thank you so much everybody okay here are previews of my interviews with Pete budajudge and Heather Cox Richardson what was your reaction action to Vance qualifying the value of waltz's 6:02 24-year military service to this country yeah this is just not something that service members ordinarily do uh toward other service members uh there's some notable exceptions including the disgraceful Swift booat attacks against John Kerry which were not going to allow to happen again especially because Tim wall served honorably he served for 24 years in the military you can retire at 20 years Tim Walls served for 2 which I'm pretty sure is longer that JD Vance had been alive when he finished his tour none of us are saying bad things about JD Vance's Service uh we're we're talking about uh a campaign that not only is building up our candidates uh and why we believe in in K Harris and Tim Walls but most importantly talking about what this campaign means for people in their lives and I think that's the other really interesting an important thing to talk about uh it's not just that Tim wall served and by all accounts was a very good soldier and 7:00 non-commissioned officer is that after that he went on to lead the Veterans Affairs Committee in the house and make veterans better off on things like mental health and suicide prevention so uh it's it's just it's it's unsurprising and yet still somehow disappointing that the only thing they can think to do is uh is to go after his service but maybe the upshot of it is it's going to remind everybody uh and educate everybody about the fact that Tim Walls is a veteran who served 24 years in the mil it also seems to have escaped JD Vance that his own running mate did the thing that Vance is wrongly accusing Tim WS of doing which is evading his service so do you think that maybe JD Vance forgot that Donald Trump very famously found some podiatrist somewhere to say that he had bone bone spurs to ensure that he wouldn't serve a single day in the military yeah the contrast couldn't be clear uh look uh you know both Tim Walls and JD Vance uh came from ordinary beginnings and served in the military uh Donald Trump on the other hand uh used 8:00 his status as a multi-millionaire from the day he was born to be able to it would appear uh purchase a doctor's note that allowed him to fake a disability so that he could claim to be unable to go serve and I imagine some uh middle class or working class kid went in his place who wasn't Rich enough to pull those kinds of strengths um that's exactly uh the point they they they don't want to talk about that they definitely don't want to talk about their ideas uh for America or Americans so they do what they always do which is just to tear tear down tear up and uh and do whatever is most outrageous any given day so that they don't have to defend things like what their policies would mean for veterans which I think would be a lot of uh a lot of cuts to services and more generally their deeply unpopular policies like tax cuts for the rich and uh and continuing to uh destroy a woman's right to choose Donald Trump's plan if he wins the election is to consolidate power into the executive branch in my opinion the 9:01 most chilling part of project 2025 for example is the reclassification of career civil servants in our government's Workforce into political appointees and that would effectively turn the entire government the IRS the FBI the doj the FCC into a tool of Trump's political interests so this may all feel new for us but I'm curious as to whether there is precedent in history where for example leaders engaged in similar tactics and what happen to that system of government in those instances so for example did those countries then descend into autocracy well there are comparisons in other countries for sure project 2025 which is the project that's been embraced by the Trump admin uh by the the Trump Vance campaign uh deliberately Builds on what Victor Orban has done in Hungary where he took a democracy and he overturned it by concentrating power in his own hands now one of the things about project 2025 is that it talks about civil servants and turning them into loyalists for 10:00 trump it also talks about taking over the Department of Justice and ceasing to honor the rule of law and instead having people in the Department of Justice who do what Trump wants them to it also talks about the military so the idea is to concentrate all of those positions of power in our society in the hands of one person now if you look at Hungary modern Hungary under Victor orbon he did something very similar with the idea quite explicitly of destroying democracy and creating what he called illiberal democracy or Christian democracy a world in which a few usually white heteronormative men controlled the lives of women racial and ethnic minorities and gender minorities in order to return what they considered a traditional worldview to their country now this has really never happened in the United States before and one of the things that I think is important when you think about project 2025 is to think of it in tandem with the July 1 2024 Supreme 11:00 Court decision in Donald J Trump versus United States in which today's radical Supreme Court overturned the very rule of law in the United States of America to say that one man is above the rule of law and that's the president of the United States who who it said cannot be indicted or prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his official duties now we've never had this in the United States before but we have had something really similar that may surprise people and that's that if you think about what happened in the American South from about 1874 to about 1965 we had a one-party region that essentially had overturned democracy and was ruled by a very small group of people and in that American South essentially the states and the state legislator decided how people would live within those States they passed their laws that discriminated against people of color black Americans and certainly discriminated against women and at the same time time the way that that played 12:00 out on the ground was that Capital fled the region because there was no point in trying to invest in a factory for example in the American South if who you knew was how would determine how well that factory would do and similarly even white Americans who theoretically would be privileged by this system uh their lives too depended on who they knew and so well we haven't seen the attempt at a national level to concentrate power in one single person in the United States we have seen how the idea of a onep party system plays out and it played out in the American South in a way that really destroyed the economy and destroyed equality to see the full interviews with PE bua
