And China, he said on the latest episode of \u003Cem\u003ERecode Decode with Kara Swisher\u003C\/em\u003E, is an “increasingly authoritarian” state where “George Orwell meets Aldous Huxley,” powered by both ethical and unethical forays into emerging technologies like AI.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"SFQxpe\"\u003EBut at least in Russia’s case, there may be another way out.

I never dreamed I’d have to worry about defending liberal democracy in the United States or that it would be at risk within the European Union, but the growing evidence that that was the case and that we were descending into something very deep and dangerous in terms of the trends for freedom in the world, that’s what motivated me to write the book.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ccL622\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat’s interesting is, after the Soviet Union fell, everyone thought the very opposite would take effect. It actually happened right around the same time the internet grew. It was all around the same time frame, because I remember traveling to the former Soviet Union then and using very early digital communications tools and they ... That was where they began to spread. I want to link those two ... I talk more about technology, but can you sort of set the table after that happened? I think most people felt that democracy was on the rise. You had Prague Spring, you had all these different governments that were now out from under authoritarian regimes, you had China opening up.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"McVLwd\"\u003EDemocracy \u003Cem\u003Ewas\u003C\/em\u003E on the rise for a great stretch, a 40-year period beginning in the mid-1970s when it was very gradual with the re-democratization in Latin America and southern Europe. And then you remember the People Power Revolution in the Philippines in 1986.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"LVXzvb\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESure. Corazon Aquino.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"rjUTe9\"\u003ERight. And all of that of course is unraveling now under a real authoritarian personality, Rodrigo Duterte as president. And then, of course, the big bang of democratic expansion after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union. And let’s not ignore the exhilarating changes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa and other parts of the African continent. It all looked like freedom was just going to continue to be on the march. But this trend of democratic expansion began to turn down, and first stagnate and then accelerate in its retreat after the US invasion of Iraq, the US-induced financial crisis that almost brought about a second Great Depression, and the acceleration of globalization and lots of people feeling like they were falling behind.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"eWSDoT\"\u003ESo for the last 12 years, freedom has been trending in a downward direction. I do want to say something, Kara, about the technology aspect, because I’ve founded a program at Stanford called Liberation Technology to study what were very exhilarating uses of technology to empower people ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"IbnOk6\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThat’s right, that was the idea at the beginning.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"4qGMxp\"\u003EYeah. To enable change and really to promote liberation all the way from the empowerment of grassroots action in the United States, in the Howard Dean and Barack Obama campaigns, the mobilization of protest and political innovation in both advanced and emerging democracies and many of the new People Power movements, including the Arab Spring movements, all of which were using digital tools to mobilize protest. And what’s happened, and I think has greatly deepened the retreat of freedom in the world and the downward trend, has been authoritarian regimes figuring out the code, if you will, and turning these tools in on themselves into mechanisms of surveillance and repression.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"me0dpV\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOne hundred percent. I always say, someone was talking about the internet and dictators don’t like the internet. I go, “Dictators\u003C\/strong\u003E \u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Elove\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E \u003Cstrong\u003Ethe Internet. What are you talking about?

That’s what I meant.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Tj7gzC\"\u003EAnd increasingly, China has the tools and is willing to share them and the understanding.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"fqVttP\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight, exactly. And so when you began to see this, your book is called\u003C\/strong\u003E \u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIll Winds\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E, and you want to say saving democracy. Let’s go through, why\u003C\/strong\u003E \u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIll Winds\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E? Why did you call it that? I just want to get a sense of ... the idea is these are blowing in and it’s bad news.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ZwK55a\"\u003EWell, there are four ill winds that have been blowing now and that I think are accelerating. The first is the general march of authoritarian populism in Europe and now, unfortunately, the United States under pressure from globalization, the cynicism promoting features of social media. The second is Russia trying to make hay of this and intervene in the politics of European democracies, intervene in the politics of our electoral democracy, promote confusion, promote division. We know they did this in 2016, and even trying to tip the election to their favorite candidates, in this case, Donald Trump.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"bELGUo\"\u003EThe third ill wind is China emerging as a superpower, wanting to control the narrative and co-opt people and preempt any criticism of it. And the fourth is the growing polarization and dysfunction of democracy in the United States, and then the new context of an authoritarian personality in the White House and complacency everywhere.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"FQw4ka\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. There’s nothing we can do about ...\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"OTczKO\"\u003EAnd low voter turnout in people thinking that it’s just one more increment. There’s nothing special about it. And of course, complacency in the Republican Party just rolling back and letting this happen.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"bVPppB\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. So let’s get to each of these things because the first part I think is the, as the authoritarian populism moves into place combined with cynicism and people. Talk a little bit about that to begin.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"EQ1xvK\"\u003EWell, we’ve seen a rise in a number of European democracies. Even Sweden — we think of Sweden as such a liberal democracy. But the third largest political party in Sweden now is something called the Sweden Democrats, which is a right wing, anti-immigrant, nativist party that says, “Please don’t bring your Muslims and your” — if I can put it crudely — “your brown-skinned people here to white Sweden.” We now have a political party in Germany that, I think it’s an overstatement to say it’s a neo-Nazi party, but there are are neo-Nazis in it. It’s called Alternative for Germany.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"jvezcW\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Ga0WKq\"\u003EAnd in the last German elections, \u003Cem\u003Ethey\u003C\/em\u003E became the third-largest party. So we’ve seen ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Wx40Jv\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight, passing the Greens, right? Yeah.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"59w66p\"\u003EAnd with Marine Le Pen and the National Front in France, with Matteo Salvini and his remarkable electoral success in the last Italian elections, and now in the European Parliament elections, is probably the most dynamic and influential party in Italy.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"LCy1In\"\u003EAnd again, he’s not a fascist, but he’s had awfully admiring things to say about Benito Mussolini, and he hates immigrants. And you look at one European country after another and you see partly as a backlash against what they see as a “crisis” of immigration. And there certainly were elements of a crisis with the flood of Syrian refugee immigration in 2016. These parties are gaining and they are playing on other dimensions of the unease that important segments of the democratic public have about inequality, about the failure to keep up with globalization, about feeling like they’re losing out in this global economic competition, worrying about whether they’re going to have jobs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"azkNYs\"\u003EMany of the things that drove support for Donald Trump in the United States, men feeling like they’re losing their status in the sexual revolution and the gender revolution of women’s advancement, gay rights, minority rights, you know, everything. A lot of established, older, and more rural populations are having trouble assimilating all this and feel like they are the last minority left that isn’t being listened to or isn’t being given some help in this competition.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"8irlSo\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo there’s that. This is the first part, which I think is the most critical, is this shift, because of things that are reasonable to be worried about, in terms of especially income inequality and feeling like your job is at risk and everywhere in the world that probably most fueled by this immigration issue, these immigration problems that are throughout the world.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"tS8WKn\"\u003EIt’s been the hottest button and it’s been the most powerful trigger in both continental Europe and of course the United Kingdom with the Brexit movement and now the election ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"wmifET\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOf Boris Johnson.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"TCSbAP\"\u003EOf Boris Johnson, or the rise of Boris Johnson, as Trump-like a figure as there is in the United Kingdom, even looks a little like Donald Trump, to become the new prime minister of the United Kingdom. There’s a lot of similarity between what’s going on in Europe and this constituency and this melange of frustrations in the United States. And yes, immigration is a very powerful trigger, but I think it’s very important that we not ignore the deeper set of anxieties and frustrations that’s driving those, and that we recall how important general feelings of identity threat and identity resentment are.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"j607vL\"\u003EI think an important reason why Hillary Clinton did not win the Electoral College — I’m reluctant to say did not win the election — but an important reason why she lost the Electoral College and narrowly lost the vote in many of these heartland states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and so on, is that there’s a large segment of rural and suburban and exurban voters in traditional occupations, in farming, in manufacturing, and so on. And even some in the more kind of modern edge globalized corporations and elements of the economy who feel disrespected by the so-called knowledge elite, feel demeaned and feel like they don’t matter anymore. They’re looked down upon. And that sense is really driving a lot of this political backlash.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"hRUXK7\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThat continues, that continues.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"6yGKK4\"\u003EOh, I think there’s no doubt that it continues.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"4vjQpw\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIt seems endless at some point. And it continues to be fueled by the way media continues to do that. The twitchy culture.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"RUpfRh\"\u003EYeah. And our segmentation into completely different media spheres, completely different social spheres, and different social media spheres. So we’re not talking to one another. And I think that, you know, if I can just bring it forward to 2020, if the Democrats don’t find a candidate who can transcend some of that and reach out to these people and draw some of them back into the Democratic Party, there’s a really good chance Donald Trump is going to be elected again in 2020.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"QAkVT0\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. Absolutely. I agree with you. But there’s a lot of outward forces here.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"onvHn2\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELet’s start with Russia, because I was at this security conference and it was really interesting, Russia and China. They were talking about Russians almost as if they were mobsters, like that they had lost the Cold War, from a military perspective and economic perspective, and here was cyber attacks and these kinds of things were the way in in order to try to promote these, promote the things they had lost previously. They pulled the Chinese out in a very different way. So Russia is the short-term threat to create discord and China is the long-term threat with their ambitions all over the world with using tools, using all kinds of economic empowerment of areas. Can you talk a little bit about what you mean by Russian rage and Chinese ambition?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"DqOyVR\"\u003EOkay. And I think the distinction you introduced and that dominated the Aspen conference is exactly the right one, and it’s the one that I build upon in the book. Russia is a fallen superpower, and that’s very hard for people in a country to go from being one of the two most-important countries in the world to being a kind of afterthought or also-ran. This is hard for the Russian elites who were used to thinking of themselves as a major player in the world, as highly relevant and as a domineering force, certainly within their geographic space, which at a minimum would include the whole former Soviet Union, but of course Europe and the Middle East as well. It’s hard for the people who not only saw their economy shrink much more dramatically and for much longer than happened in the Great Depression in the United States, but also feel as Russians that they’re no longer people in the world who are looked up to or considered highly successful.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"KFpTpJ\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. It also had a long-term history of xenophobia of nationals.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"PymW4P\"\u003EAnd there’s that, and intolerance and authoritarianism. So I think there is rage in Russia at both the elite level and frustration and, if you will, rage that can be mobilized at the broader national level, which is why Putin continues to be a substantially popular person, though with much more resentment against him than is sometimes acknowledged.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Tm1FKh\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWe just saw a little glimpse of that the other day. I forget where, there was some protest.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"a7Apnr\"\u003EIn Moscow. Yeah, over the \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/world\/2019\/7\/28\/8933948\/russia-protests-police-crack-down-moscow-demonstrations\"\u003Eeffort to prevent any serious opposition candidate\u003C\/a\u003E from running in the Moscow city council elections. So the Russian rage is part of an effort to restore, to make Russia great again, to make Russia powerful again, to make Russia listened to again and to give Russia significant geopolitical control and resources and leverage again.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Vvbqmt\"\u003EAnd we see this in many ways. One thing they don’t want is to be constrained by sanctions. And so any effort of Europe and the United States to sanction them for their bad authoritarian and geopolitically irresponsible behavior has to be a very high target of pressure on their part. And so a big part of their strategy is to try to defeat and delegitimize the political actors and parties in Europe and the United States that would try and limit the Kremlin’s efforts to exercise inappropriate influence and control and restore some of the old Soviet ways to Russia’s presence and posture in the world.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"OGC7z9\"\u003EAnd that meant going after Hillary Clinton, that meant going after some of the liberal centrist and Christian democratic and social democratic political forces in continental Europe and lifting up alternatives that were essentially pro-Russian and shared Vladimir Putin’s extremely illiberal, anti-Muslim and anti-equality, in a way, social equality view of the world.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Ddsfln\"\u003ENow the way they did this first, in Brexit and in continental Europe before they rolled this out in a highly visible way in the United States in the 2016 election, was through social media penetration and all of the masquerading as American actors and our social media debates and purchase of Facebook and other social media ads that Robert Mueller has documented and others have documented were done in the US election campaign. And that we know were done, by the way, in the Brexit campaign.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"QfAmme\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah, they were the test. They tested other places and then Brexit was the big test.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"HsMsGt\"\u003EAnd one of the most important right-wing illiberal leaders in Europe, Marine Le Pen, who wound up being in the final round of contention for the French presidency in 2016, has admitted that she received a very large loan from Vladimir Putin. So he is deeply, deeply intervening in the politics and in the media. And of course, again, the social media of Western democracies trying to confuse and divide them, trying to challenge the notion that there is any objective truth and trying to aid his natural political allies who are — if I can put it cryptically — Steve Bannon and everybody who thinks like him. And they’ve had a lot of success and they’ve learned a lot from their initial forays into our society and our political and social debates, and they’re coming back to do it with greater sophistication, greater masking of what they’re doing, so that it won’t be as easy to call it out this way.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Jve2wB\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWell, I always say it’s one of the things about the Russian incursion saying to Facebook, for example, is you’ll never figure it out and it’ll be so confusing that you’ll doubt it. You just don’t know where it hit you or where it affected you or where it had its point. That’s the point.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"C7nkrp\"\u003EAnd you throw a lot of darts on the board and they don’t all have to land so you try a number of different things. But we need to ramp up our defense of this, both as social media companies and as the United States federal and the 50 state governments very rapidly, and I think we know what they’re doing now. We know what their goals and objectives are. We know at least what some of their techniques are.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ijUrz3\"\u003EWhat is inexplicable is that the Senate majority leader of the United States, Mitch McConnell, is holding up legislation that is widely regarded by experts as necessary to secure our electoral infrastructure for 2020, knowing the kinds of things that the Russians did, knowing the capabilities that they have, knowing that they were in the voter registration databases of 20 American States in 2016, and it almost certainly would pass the United States Senate if it got to the floor. Why is Mitch McConnell trying to block the United States from being more secure in its electoral administration and infrastructure?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Dh54mr\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBecause if he loses, they could say it’s not secure, and if he wins it’s like, “Well, it was fine.” Like it wasn’t a problem. That to me is the most cynical reading of it.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"vBQahb\"\u003EWell, I think that is essentially it. And I would just put the cherry on the top of your sundae and say tragically, I think the only explanation that can really survive close scrutiny is that many Republicans, including the Senate majority leader, must think, “Hey, this is going to help us. Why stand in the way of it?”\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"G3rzag\"\u003EAnd when you think that that amounts to an invitation, which Trump has kind of tongue in cheek given to the Russian leader to intervene all over again in our election in 2020, to have the foreign adversary and one of the greatest threats to US and European national security have a clear and unobstructed path to intervene in our election, I think is pretty close to treason.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"DbVEeC\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThat’s what many people think. So what happens with the Russian rage? Where’s the end point of it?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ePa44X\"\u003EI think the end point will be a growing realization that the emperor Vladimir Putin and his corrupt oligarchy network around him, that they really were not close. They are frauds in terms of what they’re offering Russian society, people’s lives aren’t getting measurably better as a result, and that there is an alternative, more modern, responsible, transparent, and promising and innovative pathway for Russia to apply.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"srx6I6\"\u003EKara, just think what this country could do if they took all the digital skills that they are using in the Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg and elsewhere to try and pervert and subvert and confuse American and European democracy and created a Silicon Valley in St Petersburg or Moscow or whatever to compete in positive ways in the global economy.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"hu2GLM\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOh Larry, they’re troublemakers. They’re always the troublemakers. You know that.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"SdNfS2\"\u003EI think that there’s great potential for Russia with its scientific and technical and computer science talent ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"2nH58c\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAgreed.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"kKK6JW\"\u003ETo compete in a serious and noncriminal way in the new global economy. So I think where this is going to end is that someday a growing proportion of Russians are going to figure this out and say, “We want a better, more genuine and more sustainable path to prosperity.”\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"W46wNb\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThey’re just making trouble. Just cheating.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"d5DuxE\"\u003EYes. I just want to add, until then, we have to be careful. And this is an injunction that I think applies both to our relations with Russia and to our relations with China. If we frame and pitch the response, which has to be a competitive response, it has to be a pushback, as a pushback on Russian society, on Russian people — and then by the same logic, the Chinese society and the Chinese people — that this is a civilizational struggle, we’re going to rally these two adversarial countries, in a way. We’ll rally their people around their leadership. We’ll make things worse and we’ll be at risk of sliding into a new Cold War.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"aibrwB\"\u003EAnd that’s why in our messaging, in our outreach, in our engagement, in our framing, we have to look for ways to separate the leaders from the people and to show — not as an exercise in similarly cynical mischief to what Putin is doing in the United States but as it matter of forthright, transparent analysis — what these leaders are doing is, first of all, criminal corruption in terms of ripping off their societies. And second of all, not in the long-run interest of their people.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"D0bxfO\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. Absolutely. So talk a little bit about China, though, because it’s a very different situation. I do consider this the new Cold War. We’re already in it. I think we’re in it and it’s a digital Cold War, essentially, and it’s a lot easier to do it from the Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg than it is to have troops all over the world. It’s a much more effective use of money.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"NPhoGX\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBut China’s different, because I think there’s a lot of innovation going on in China. There’s a lot of really interesting companies. You have a government that completely backs education companies, they have a plan. It’s a much different approach and I think most people feel like China is where the real game is happening.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"SzS52y\"\u003ERight. I think anyone who is focused on the long run of US national security or US international economic competitiveness sees this and I’d say the plan is fairly transparent. They want to be the global leader in high technology in the coming two decades, which is why they’re pushing very aggressively to provide and control the telecommunications infrastructure of the future, which is what the debate over the 5G cellular networks are about.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"DAXbNr\"\u003EBut of course it’s more than that. We know that they have been involved in a dedicated process over three decades to acquire by any means, fair or foul, everything from sending their graduate students over to learn our high technologies of communication and digital infrastructure satellites, drone technology, robotics, gene editing ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"P7VIbb\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYup, they control drone, they control robotics, gene editing. They’re ahead on pretty much everything.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"WDIQla\"\u003EWell, artificial intelligence. Yeah.

So if the state says to Alibaba or Tencent or whoever it might be, “Hand over your data,” and they have no choice — Huawei or anyone — they have to hand it over. They may not be loving collaborators and compatriots of the Chinese Communist Party state, but they certainly are a reliable one because they know that they can’t exist if they aren’t.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"U3Ww2s\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIt’s also interesting, pretty much a homogeneous society, too, that allows that control.

So what happens with this? Where do you imagine it going? Because to me, the Russian thing feels like it will eventually be a traffic accident there in Russia, but in this case it’s quite organized and quite ... except for the fact that they need to control their population, which is always not the greatest thing, because eventually you can’t control populations. Where does this go to?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"n9iAMj\"\u003ESo let me speculate on two places where I think it’s heading. One is internal and the other is external. The external is a kind of moment of truth in terms of China’s bad behavior internationally. It’s rising use of bullying, sharp power that is distinguished from the soft power that democracies had been exercising by the fact that it is — to quote the former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull — covert, coercive, or corrupting. The People’s Republic of China has been for some years now penetrating deeply into universities, think tanks, the entertainment industry, corporations, local government, and other sectors of advanced industrial democratic societies, with Australia and New Zealand — because of their proximity — being, I think, the canaries in the coal mine.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"nVr8nD\"\u003ESo one place where I think it’s going, Kara, is an awakening and a pushback by democratic societies. And although Trump has probably, I think, been too crude and too indiscriminate in his trade war — and I worry about some of the language and some of the mentality that his partisans are bringing to this because he can easily descend into McCarthyite ethnic stereotyping and something very, very ugly and dangerous — I think there is a growing consensus on Capitol Hill across party lines, Democratic and Republican, that we need to respond to this and draw boundaries around China’s ambitious effort to extend its influence into all sorts of arenas of social, cultural, and economic control. And I think this awakening is going to balance the playing field a little bit more in the coming years.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"F2kdES\"\u003EThe more intriguing question is where is it headed internally in a country where most people support Xi Jinping and think he’s doing a great job and are proud that China is finally awakening and breaking off the mental and cultural, if not still economic and geopolitical chains of a century of humiliation that began in the 19th century with ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"EuV115\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Opium Wars.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"MC39O7\"\u003E... the Opium War and a colonial presence and so on.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3CxrWb\"\u003EIt’s all great while the merry-go-round keeps going round of economic growth and simply dizzying transformation in the physical circumstances of people’s lives. What happens when economic growth continues to slow, as it’s significantly doing now? Possibly the economic growth rate of about 6.5 percent annually that they’ve announced as being their growth rate might be overstated by as much as two percentage points. What if there’s a financial crisis because of all of the extraordinary corruption in the banking system and in the state corporations and the lack of accountability there and so on? A lot of people think they’ve got enough money to see themselves through it, but there’s a lot of vulnerability, too, there.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"xYPOcD\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"mY3mI3\"\u003EIf there is a crisis economically or financially and a lot of people lose their savings and the merry-go-round stops going around, people are going to start asking, “What have you done for us lately?” If you can’t continue to provide us with this dizzying material prosperity, at least give us freedom and accountability.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"HICYbb\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.

On one hand, one of the ways that we have done well is by competition and being fully aware of creating small businesses in order to compete where the best ideas win, but we’re complacent in our election security. We’re complacent in the impact of social media and on partisanship and our own mental states. We’re being complacent on moving forward on innovation and how to innovate into the next century. We have owned the technology century so far, perhaps not going forward.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"G3iePL\"\u003EWell, let’s start on the technological and economic fronts, since we’ve been talking about that with respect to the primary challenge we face from the People’s Republic of China, and then I really would like to get to the political dimensions of this.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"VUn612\"\u003EA major report looking at China’s technology transfer strategy, and that was the title of the report from the defense innovation unit in January of 2018, came to the following conclusion: Yes, we need to tighten up restrictions on Chinese investment in the United States. We need much closer monitoring, a much more vigilant approach, but we also need to up our game. That’s the logic of what you’re saying, and upping our game, I think, Kara, has multiple dimensions to it. Promoting innovation in small businesses is part of it, and then there’s the question of how you do that when the two digital giants, Facebook and Google, have so much of the marketplace now.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Xl5EQg\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESure.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"dkbBTP\"\u003EThere’s also the question of federal investment in research and development.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"lZDJ3b\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThat’s right.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"0x3A0b\"\u003EChina is pouring money into the technologies of the future and our companies are, but our federal government is not.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"mE1pAS\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENo.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"5wUIV5\"\u003EIt used to be the case that the United States ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"kNPwSg\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIt’s gone from 30 percent to 2 or something?

The defense report suggests at least a federal investment level of 2 percent of GDP in research and development. I’ll give you a very specific example. We have now realized that we’ve been caught napping in the race to build the telecommunications infrastructure of the future, the 5G cellular communications platforms. We are way behind. I think that we’re not going to catch up without a massive federal investment that involves a public-private partnership between government and a variety of corporations, and I think we need both the federal government to provide the funding for that in collaboration with private companies. We may actually need to relax our rules on monopoly practices in order to get corporations at the scale where they can do this rapidly enough.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"DdyYfo\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhich, we’re going the opposite direction on that, but go ahead.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"BL42x5\"\u003EYeah. We have to be careful because we could stifle innovation by going too far in that direction, but we’re in an urgent situation where if we don’t recognize the need as we did in the immediate aftermath of World War II, as we did in the race to the moon that we’re now celebrating 50 years later, if we don’t recognize the need for concerted, scientific, and technological government investment now in partnership with our private entrepreneurial instincts, we’re going to fall further and further behind.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"KRYn8B\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESome feel that they are too big. Their argument is we need to be big in order to fight, and a lot of other views — ours is — “You are this big and you made this mess.” You know what I mean?

Also, the technological companies probably like Qualcomm and so on that are our only bets on the 5G front. On the politics side, let me say that part of the complacency is just kind of sleepwalking into the future with our current models and not asking whether they’re working any longer. What is the magic of the two-party system at this point when the two political parties have brought us to this polarizing impasse of complete incapacity to pass legislation? We are just increasingly trapped in our foxholes on Capitol Hill, and I think this is what you get with the first-past-the-post electoral system where everybody is elected from a single-member district, and then whoever gets the most votes wins.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"tu0jp8\"\u003EIf it’s simple first-past-the-post, whoever gets the most votes wins, you’re not going to be able to exit from the polarizing trap of our two-party duopoly because one or the two of the other two parties is going to get the most votes almost everywhere because people are going to be afraid to vote for any kind of innovative third alternative because they will be fearful that they are wasting their vote.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"AmRqR1\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThat’s right.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"pnrpKQ\"\u003EWe’re so polarized that you fear, my God, if you waste your vote ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"JBn51w\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E“I’ll take Biden because …” Not because he’s best, perhaps.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"OsIJf3\"\u003EYes, if you waste your vote then you’ll be helping to elect the really monstrous alternative.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"OfrmLf\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3mteww\"\u003ENow this interacts with what’s happened in our primary election system where the people who turn out in our party primaries are the ones who are most intensely ideologically motivated.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"li1bBO\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Is8pYZ\"\u003EThat is what is driving the two political parties increasingly further and further toward the ideologically defined positions, if you will the ideological extremes.

والحرب الدائرة بين حلفين كبيرين لا يمكن فصل معاركها بعضها عن البعض الآخر. فموازين القوى كالأواني المتصلة تؤثر وتتأثر ببعضها، وانخفاض منسوب في وعاء ينعكس ارتفاع منسوب في وعاء مقابل، وفي ظل الجمود الذي يعيشه الوضع في الخليج، بينما في سورية انتهت أغلب الملفات المفتوحة على تغيير في الجعرافيا، والغارات الإسرائيلية تعجز عن موازنة تأثير غارات أنصار الله في الخليج، بينما في إدلب تبدو خطة محور المقاومة بدفع المبادرة الروسية حتى مداها نحو إحراج الجانب التركي على طريقة تكرار سيناريو حلب قابلة للنجاح ومفتوحة على فرصة تغيير في الجغرافيا.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 9px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003E– بعد أسابيع أو شهور قليلة سيكون الوضع في إدلب قد حسم لصالح سيطرة الجيش السوري، وسيكون مستقبل الوجود الأميركي والكانتون الكردي على المشرحة دون فرص للمقايضة كان يرغب بها الأميركيون مقابل الوجود الإيراني، ما يعني تقدم سورية في الصراع الإيراني الأميركي على الخليج، والحاجة لتبادل أوراق القوة من الخليج إلى سورية وجوارها في لعبة الضغط والمقايضات، وفي ظل انسداد الأفق أمام تحقيق أي مكاسب من مواجهة في اليمن أو عبر الخليج مع إيران، تتجه الإمارات والسعودية للتبريد هناك، والتسخين حيث يمكن التأثير في الساحة الأشد عرضة للتغيير، ويبدو الطلب الأميركي على فرص إشغال محور المقاومة في سورية ومحيطها متقدماً على أي فرص لتأدية أدوار مفيدة في ساحات أخرى، والإشغال غير الممكن في سورية، يمكن أن يكون ممكناً في لبنان.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color:

المعادلة انفجرت بدون مقدمات حادثة قبرشمون، وتم التعامل مع تداعياتها بنيات واضحة لإبقائها معلقة. فالفرضية اللبنانية كانت أن الإحالة إلى المجلس العدلي بما يتضمن تشكيله من توازنات سياسية، جواب وسطي يقفل أي ملف أمني كحادثة قبرشمون، بحيث يمكن افتراض أن رئيس الحزب التقدمي الإشتراكي وليد جنبلاط يجب أن يكون هو الداعي لنقل الملف إلى المجلس العدلي لإقفال القضية إن كان خائفاً من الاستهداف، وإن لم يكن المطلوب فتح الملف على لعبة المنطقة وإبقائه على الطاولة، وللاشتراكي أسباب كثيرة للربط طالما أنه القلق من مرحلة ما بعد إدلب وانتصارات سورية ومحور المقاومة وحاجته لخطوة استباقية تعلق التسوية اللبنانية ومؤسساتها حتى ترسو التوازنات على صورة يكون لبنان المعلق أحد عناصرها، ويصير الحل الجديد فيه جزءاً من التسوية الإقليمية الجديدة، التي من ضمنها اليمن وسورية… ولبنان.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3

small;\"\u003E– تحقيقات فرع المعلومات ليست في صالح رواية الاشتراكي وتحقيق المحكمة العسكرية لا يُرضيه، والذهاب إلى المجلس العدلي مرفوض عنده، والمصالحة السياسية مشروطة بمهرها المعطل أي شراكة حزب الله. إذن فالمطلوب بقاء المشكلة مفتوحة حتى.. تقول إدلب الكلمة الفصل ويبنى على الشيء مقتضاه إقليمياً وليس محلياً، ويحفظ لمن يخاف على دوره وحجمه دور جديد بحجم جديد، فهل ينجح بتعليق البلد على عمود إدلب ولو حظي بدعم وتشجيع دوليين وإقليميين يبدوان حاضرين بقوة؟\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif;

الى انّ موازين القوى الميدانية بين حلف المقاومة وعلى رأسه إيران وأميركا تنتقل بوتيرة متسارعة من الدفاع إلى الهجوم!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color:

أوراقها لجدولة انسحابها من أفغانستان وسورية فإنّ حلف المقاومة في المقابل يقوم بمراكمة أسباب القوة، ويرفع من قدراته القتالية في أكثر من ساحة خاصة في المياه الخليجية الساخنة، الأمر الذي شكل رادعاً للولايات المتحدة من التجرّؤ على شنّ أيّ عدوان على إيران!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif;

خلال قدرتها على فرض معادلة على الكيان الصهيوني، جعلته يعجز ومنذ عام 2006، من إطلاق حتى طلقة واحدة تجاه الأراضي اللبنانية، ناهيك عن لجمه تماماً عن التفكير بشنّ حرب على لبنان والدخول في مواجهة مفتوحة مع المقاومة وحزب الله!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 9px 0px 0px;

الإسرائيلي للقيام بعملية عسكرية جوية وبرية واسعة النطاق، ضدّ المقاومة الفلسطينية في قطاع غزة، والتي أدلى بها في مدينة عسقلان المحتله، فإنه قد أدلى بمثل هذه التصريحات خلال إشرافه على تنفيذ تدريبات عسكرية لوحدات جيشه «لتحرير مدينة عسقلان» بعد أن يكون فدائيون فلسطينيون قد سيطروا عليها!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,

وجنرالاته الفاشلين والمهزومين، سواء على الجبهة الشمالية او الجنوبية، هي خطط دفاعية محضة وليس فيها أيّ عنصر هجومي، مما يؤكد على فقدان الجيش الإسرائيلي لزمام المبادرة وبشكل نهائي وأبدي!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 9px 0px 0px; text-align:

قدرات الجبهة الداخلية، لقوات حلف المقاومة على الصمود والتفاعل، مع سير العمليات العسكرية الهجومية، الذي ستنفذها قوات الحلف في عمق العدو، سواء في الجليل أو النقب وسواحل غزة، أو حتى في الضفة الغربية والمناطق المحتلة منذ 1948، وبين قدرات الجبهة الداخلية الإسرائيلية التي تبحث، ومنذ الآن عن الملاجئ الآمنة أو عن طرق الهروب من البلاد، سواء عبر البحر أو الجو، كما حصل خلال المواجهة الأخيرة في قطاع غزة، حين اضطرت سلطات الجيش الإسرائيلي لإغلاق مطار اللد بن غوريون أمام المسافرين وذلك بسبب هروب ما يزيد على ثلاثين ألف شخص خلال ساعتين بعد بدء إطلاق الصواريخ من غزة.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 9px 0px 0px; text-align:

الميداني هناك بات شديد الشبه بالواقع الميداني المحيط بفلسطين، حيث انّ الصبر الاستراتيجي اليمني، والصمود الأسطوري للجيش واللجان الشعبية، والقيادة الحكيمة الصلبة، قد أنتجت وراكمت عوامل قوة وردع ميداني وصلت آخر رسائلها المباشرة يوم أمس الاول الى آل سعود، عبر الصاروخ اليمني الذي أطلق على الدمام، وعبر الرسالة غير المباشرة لأبناء زايد، من خلال العملية الهجينة بالصواريخ والطيران المسيّر، التي قصفت تجمعاً لقوات العدوان الذي كان يجري استعراضاً عسكريا ًتمهيداً للانتقال إلى جبهات الحديدة وتعز، ونتج عن العملية مئة قتيل وجريح.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3 style=\"background-color: white;

This town is BUZZING!\u0026nbsp; The harbour is full of people from all over North America and elsewhere.\u0026nbsp; Huge American cabin cruisers and sailboats clog the small harbour.

Aug 5 2019\u003C\/b\u003E -- There are plans to put armed security guards at a popular park in Monroe County.\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Smithfield Township supervisors say overcrowding, illegal swimming, and illegal parking have gotten out of control during weekends at Minisink Park.\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo now, security measures are being taken.\u003Cbr \/\u003EWith the exception of an evening practice for a peewee football team, Minisink Park is fairly empty in Smithfield Township near Delaware Water Gap.\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut on the weekend, that's sure to change.\u003Cbr \/\u003ETownship Supervisor Brian Barrett says hundreds of people flock to the park, most of them from out of town.\u003Cbr \/\u003E“It's unbelievable, that's when the tour buses come, with 40, 50 people get off a bus, with their coolers and everything else,” said Barrett.\u003Cbr \/\u003EOver the past few years, he says the problems with overcrowding have gotten to a breaking point with people illegally swimming, drinking alcohol and parking on River Road.\u003Cbr \/\u003E“They're parking on the side of the road so vans are coming by, you can't get through, you just can't get through, they have no respect for anyone,” said Lisa Kropp who runs Renegade Winery just down the road from Minisink Park.\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo, the township supervisors plan to hire two security guards who will work 8-hour shifts on weekends for $32 an hour.\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd they will be armed as is the security firm's policy.\u003Cbr \/\u003E“The armed is kind of their protocol. We didn't ask for it necessarily to be armed,” said Barrett. “All we need are uniformed people that have an aura of authenticity.”\u003Cbr \/\u003EAccording to Barrett, having security here at the park is not a permanent solution. They just want to try it out to see if it makes a difference.\u003Cbr \/\u003E“We're not looking for any confrontation, we've coordinated with the Pennsylvania State Police, as I've said they have a presence every weekend here too,” said Barrett.\u003Cbr \/\u003EPeople welcome the idea, saying the crowds leave tons of garbage in the park as well.\u003Cbr \/\u003E“They trash the place, people do trash it, so I understand what the supervisors are up to,” said Don Kintner.\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe township supervisor says if the board decides to make security at the park permanent, the job would be in the summer only.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003Efrom Private Officer Breaking News https:\/\/ift.tt\/2OEUsO4\u003Cbr \/\u003EBreaking News: Smithfield Township deploys armed security to patrol parks privateofficer.org -

Well I’m Lauren Underwood. I represent the Illinois 14th, which is a half-suburban, half-rural community outside of Chicago. I live in a town called Naperville, it’s 45 minutes west of the city. We have a Naperville contingent, specifically Neuqua Valley Wildcats, in the room today. I’m so excited. But our community is 45 minutes west of Chicago, and I’m a nurse. And I spent my career working to expand health care coverage in communities across our country.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"9LR6oa\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"NHCAkl\"\u003ESo I worked to implement the Affordable Care Act at the federal level, worked on private insurance reform, worked on health care quality and Medicare preventive services, those free screenings and vaccines and contraceptive coverage. Basically anything the Obama administration was getting sued on, related to the ACA, was in my portfolio.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"OpY5w5\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOkay. All right.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Fm1CtW\"\u003EAnd then I joined the Obama administration and worked on public health emergencies and disasters. So we did Ebola, we did Zika, the mosquito illness, you all remember that? And the water crisis in Flint. And so it was during our time in Flint that the 2016 election happened, and I thought Hillary was gonna win and that we’d have this chance to hand off our work on Flint and hand off our work on health reform to a team that cared.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"g4E2k0\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAnd Ebola, I hope. End to Ebola, right?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"9e39SI\"\u003EWell Ebola, by 2016 it was on a downturn. It has resurged now in Africa.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"D9opnM\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYes, it has, now.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"WlJTC3\"\u003EBut then, it was not at crisis levels.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"hURH0v\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. Well, just a little bit of Ebola is a problem, as far as I’m concerned. But go ahead.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3SNoK5\"\u003EYes, thank you. Yes. And so, you know, when the Trump transition team came in, they made it immediately clear that they wanted to take away health care coverage from the American people. And I didn’t want to help them do that. So I had an opportunity to convert back to a career employee, decided not to do that.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"YoixT1\"\u003EAnd so I went back home to Illinois. Our state expanded Medicaid, so I began working for a Medicaid managed care company in Chicago, was living my best life, and found myself at my congressman ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"qjJvH5\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWait wait, what is your best life? What is that?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"u0xhzC\"\u003EWhat is my best life?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"O15qEL\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"9f2lv2\"\u003EMy best life at that time was, you know, not having to fly wherever there was a natural disaster, an emerging infectious disease, right? Not going abroad at the last minute because something had happened. Being able to plan my life and do work I cared about, but have some balance, right? Like, work-life balance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"bdJJOp\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. Got it.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"A6K5Ie\"\u003EAnd then I decided to run for Congress, right? Out the window that went. But at the time I was just so excited about this idea of being able to be a millennial and do millennial things. Honestly.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UunNzp\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"aFPy6q\"\u003EAnd it was fun while it lasted, but I went to my congressman’s town hall. And so, this was during the time that there was all these different versions of Obamacare repeal being considered in the Congress.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"VDsjzv\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"q6baES\"\u003EAnd so there’s all these different bills that did slightly different things. And at that event, he said he was only going to support a version of repeal that let people with preexisting conditions keep their health care coverage. So I’m a nurse, I have a preexisting condition and I worked on the ACA. So when he made that promise, I believed him, because it was personal.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"yZ6OGq\"\u003EAnd two weeks later, he voted for the American Healthcare Act, which is the version of repeal that did the opposite, made it cost-prohibitive for people like me to get affordable insurance coverage. And I got really mad and decided, “You know what? It’s on, I’m running.”\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"VKpUHQ\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWait, no, come on.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"54ISE4\"\u003ENo, seriously.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"4ikkdJ\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EReally?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ghiP7G\"\u003EYou know, some people get upset and they’re like, “Oh, I’m going to do something about that.” And then life happens, right? So people have these ideas to write a book, and then life happens. Or start a business, and then life happens, or an organization ... For me, I just could not let this go.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"mxw5xI\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"yZAyQd\"\u003ECouldn’t let it go. This is like three months after the Women’s March, and you know, the president’s doing all kinds of crazy things. And I felt like we, as citizens, needed to engage.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Vltxjm\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo had you ever thought of that before? I mean, you worked in the Obama administration, a lot of people do run from there. Rahm Emanuel, all kinds of people.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"B5IVJr\"\u003ESure.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Xe9iMn\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHad that been a plan of yours?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"LzxKTA\"\u003EWell, I was always interested in service, and serving in elected office is something that I thought could be an interesting thing to do, later in life. I was not at all planning to launch a campaign at 30.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"DAiDSS\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. And you didn’t want to go back to nursing, you just wanted to continue working in health care in some way.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"02Ls7V\"\u003EIn health policy. That’s right.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"A7Tp5C\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIn health policy. So you do this, and then you win.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"CEEcKl\"\u003EBut I want to, I want to actually be specific. You know, “nursing” is a very broad profession.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"L3rXOp\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYes, it is.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3QHQ71\"\u003EWe have nurses working in many different settings, including in health policy. There’s just fewer of us. But it’s \u003Cem\u003Every\u003C\/em\u003E important that we bring our expertise to these spaces because our patients are ... they’re families, and our communities are counting on us, sharing our expertise.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"VpERdg\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight, right.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"dcqdlZ\"\u003ESo I don’t want folks to walk away and think that, you know, I left it behind. Right? Or that I’m somehow not a nurse because I’ve spent my career in these spaces.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"b12za2\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo you run, did you think you were going to win? Did you have any sense that you could win? This is again, talk about the makeup of your district.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"gmQmPa\"\u003EYes. So, the Illinois 14th was on that very first targeted list from the DCCC. So they put out a list at the end of January, which I saw. They put out the Illinois 6th, which was Peter Roskam, and the Illinois 14th, Randy Hultgren. And my town of Naperville has actually been gerrymandered into three congressional districts. So a town of 140,000 people has just been carved up. And so, one Democrat and two Republicans represented our community.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"k3oHCF\"\u003EAnd I was so excited to see that \u003Cem\u003Esomebody\u003C\/em\u003E at the DCCC thought that our community was winnable. Because they had not invested in our community in many, many, many, many years. And so at that time I was like, “Oh, I wonder who’s going to run. I’d love to help them.” Right?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"TeEH9x\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"vsNEpd\"\u003EAnd, when I’m living my best life. I certainly knew ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"481eLB\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat were you doing at this moment? What was it that ...\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"e47fT7\"\u003ESo this is at the end of January.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"gHAxU1\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENo, what was the best life part? Was it kombucha drinking? What was your best life?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"CrmhIc\"\u003EOh. It’s like going to spin class, going to pilates, you know?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Ck74eU\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight, okay. Just want to make it clear.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UQspvY\"\u003ELike, eating healthy, and then baking and eating whatever I baked.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"dhtYtk\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah, okay.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"lic5IV\"\u003EHanging out with my girlfriends, and I was in the process of buying a house. You know, I was really living my best life.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"pnEwIc\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOkay, all right.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"XI1ywv\"\u003EBy most standards, I think. And so, maybe millennial life. Others probably have other high points.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Z04mHl\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENo, that sounds like my life, but go ahead, move along.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"POjdvV\"\u003EOkay. So the DCCC had listed the Illinois 14th. So they had some data to suggest that our district could flip.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ZHEEjl\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECould flip, right. How long he had been there? How long?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Q1Gqdh\"\u003ESo my family moved to Naperville ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"CPHddR\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENo, no. No, you were fair. How long have you been there? How long had the congressman been there before?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UD1B8F\"\u003EOh, Randy Hultgren had served for four terms when I beat him.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"XOUBAQ\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"vk7Xze\"\u003ESo Randy Hultgren was a Tea Party Republican, but our district is probably most notable because it was Denny Hastert’s seat when he was speaker of the House. So Denny Hastert is the longest-serving Republican speaker. Then, in 2006 and the election, under Rahm Emanuel’s leadership at the DCCC, the Democrats win the House. Speaker Pelosi becomes speaker for the first time. And then Dennis Hastert steps down. Shortly after he steps down, all of the news of his sexual misconduct and sexual abuse of his students came out, because he was making these inappropriate payments, payoffs. And so then he went to jail.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Pl7MB4\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"WhQ01r\"\u003ESo that’s the history of the 14th.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"R52eqA\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"k2SCCS\"\u003EBut most notably, there had only been one other Democrat ever in history that represented our community in Congress.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"VLn80B\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. And who was that?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"sDzg6s\"\u003EHis name is Bill Foster. He won the special election. He’s a physicist. After Denny Hastert left, he did not get reelected. Randy Hultgren, this Tea Party Republican, beat him in the Tea Party wave, and then had continued to get reelected. Randy Hultgren is a very nice man, presents as a moderate, and then stood right by Trump at every turn.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"BqfHqY\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"A04j7f\"\u003EAnd so, a lot of folks in our community — you know, the Illinois 14th is a very nice, beautiful, half-suburban, half-rural community. A lot of folks are not looking to the federal government day to day for help, for assistance, for much. Right?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"dyGpj0\"\u003EAnd so, for a long time, people were comfortable and didn’t need to interact with their congressperson, weren’t looking to watch what their congressperson was doing. And so then when Trump wins, and you start to see all this stuff happening, people are like, “Well, who’s our guy?” And then they saw that our guy didn’t have our back.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"En33Js\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"FDiOXJ\"\u003EHe wasn’t showing up for us in Washington. He wasn’t engaging folks at home, refused to do town halls. He did that one and then went away for 16 months. Didn’t appear in public, didn’t have any kind of engagement.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"pbscNG\"\u003EAnd so, at the time that I got mad, right? This is your question. Spring of ‘17, did I think that we could win? Yes. I thought that we could win. Did I know how we were going to do it? I did not. Did I know how to run for Congress? Not necessarily.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"HahQ4H\"\u003EA friend and I went to lunch, her name’s Sarah Feldman. And I was like, “Yeah, you know, I have this idea, I’m gonna run for Congress. I’m really thinking about it.” And she takes out her notebook and starts writing things down, at lunch. And that’s how we did it. We spent the summer of 2017 figuring out how to run and we, you know, I made the \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.underwoodforcongress.com\"\u003Ewebsite\u003C\/a\u003E. And it’s the website that we still have up right now. We wrote a launch video and got some friends to shoot it. It was a very DIY campaign.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"589jJn\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"lfhtIO\"\u003EAnd we ended up launching in August of 2017. I ran in a primary against six guys. I won, I got 57 percent of the votes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"KUGxbg\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy do you think you won? What was the appeal?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"MSOqKh\"\u003EI think that I won for a number of reasons. The primary or the general?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"CHNIEx\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPrimary.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"24ZxGH\"\u003EOkay. In the primary, health care was the No. 1 issue.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"IyHSHo\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"t3InL5\"\u003EI had really rich background expertise on and could speak credibly about the No. 1 issue. Secondly, we had an approach that was nontraditional in our community. The traditional way that Democrats would be competitive — because they’ve never really won, besides for Bill Foster — to be competitive, is to target a few suburbs across the district and then just spend time in those areas.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"tKyeW8\"\u003EAnd I said, “No, we’re going to go everywhere.” So I had seven counties, we set up volunteer operations in all seven and spent a lot of time in each of those communities. And what we found is that farmers would tell us that no Democrat had knocked on their door in 10 years. In 10 years! And so it’s like, “How could that be?”\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"PVrWCW\"\u003EBut we know that when you surrender seats, meaning if you don’t have a Democrat running for County Board, you don’t have a Democrat running for State Rep, then that means that there’s no one door-knocking. If you don’t have full slates of committees, like precinct committee men and women, then that means that there’s no local representative from that Democratic Party. And so people just didn’t hear from us.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"USHKvG\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"YUGCRH\"\u003EAnd so, when we would show up in their living rooms and their cul-de-sacs and their soybean fields and talk to them about their issues, and then come back and then come back, they’re like, “Oh, I guess this Underwood girl’s serious. Hmm, this is interesting.” Right? And then, quite candidly, we out-raised all my opponents combined, so we had the resources. And when I say out-raised, I’m not talking about millions of dollars.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"E66POL\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"4aRtc8\"\u003ERight? It was just more. And I just want to make that distinction, because I know that so many folks, this is a very well-educated political audience that we have here. And you all, I think, pay attention to quarterly fundraising numbers and you know who’s up and who’s down and whatever. But for my primary, we raised $350,000. Total.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"M2Ln8k\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"WTZqFB\"\u003EAnd that was more than everyone in our race combined. And that let us do mail, it let us do cable TV, it let us do digital ads, it let us do what we needed to do to win our race. Did we hit our threshold every quarter? No, we did not. I never, in the primary, hit my DCCC goal. The DCCC wanted me to raise, I probably shouldn’t even say this. The DCCC wanted me to raise $400,000 in my first quarter. I was like, “Are you out of your mind?”\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"2U7YWf\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. Right.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"dfWD6t\"\u003EAnd we didn’t, you know, maybe that’s the traditional playbook, but I’m not a traditional candidate.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"pTNKu0\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight. Right. Right.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"gjy6V4\"\u003EAnd so when you are a nontraditional person in a district that people think is possible, potential, then maybe you don’t follow the traditional playbook to get to success. And so, we crushed it.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"HGUbuH\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"c96GGP\"\u003EAnd then ended up in this general.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"KymdNH\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah. Against Randy.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"aoAmvR\"\u003EAnd, in the general that was ... it was intense. Our district had never elected a woman, had never elected a person of color, had never elected a young person. Right? And so someone like me is very different. But the Republicans, naturally, thought that Randy Hultgren could sleepwalk and get reelected, because he had that R for Republican next to his name on the ballot. That gave us some freedom to do what we needed to do on the ground, because they weren’t paying attention.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"L83ly8\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy do you think you beat him? On what topic? Health care.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"wzL8na\"\u003EHealth. So we won really for, I’d say, three reasons. No. 1, health care was the No. 1 issue throughout the whole campaign.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"SfBy6v\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPrescription drug prices.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"k2I70e\"\u003ECost.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Lvaiim\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECost.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"8j378M\"\u003ECost. So, not just drugs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"8Pzny9\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"bSThJr\"\u003EPremium prices, surprise billing, right? This idea that people can’t afford to see their provider because they’re struggling to pay their premium. They can’t afford their insulin because they’re struggling to pay their premium, right? And it just goes up, up, up, and it’s gotten out of control.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"uGdOww\"\u003ESo, the only thing that bumped health care as the No. 1 issue was those three weeks over the summer last year, where we saw those images of kids in cages at the border. That’s the only time that health care dropped. And so, that stuck with me.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"EuxJsC\"\u003EThe second reason we won is, this representation thing I was talking about. Did our guy have our back and would he show up for us at home? For Randy Hultgren, the answer was no. And for a lot of the moderate Republicans and independent voters, they saw that. And they were not happy with that level of nonresponsiveness, inaccessibility, and nontransparency.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ecqMDT\"\u003EAnd then the third reason I think that we won is that we were willing to do the work. So it’s not just alignment, right? You’ve got to go out and you’ve got to fight for it and show up for people. And the tone of our communications, the way that we ran the race, is very different than people typically do in Illinois. Right? Like, corruption is something that Illinois voters are very familiar with. So many of our former governors end up in jail, right? This community had a congressperson that, you know — \u003Cem\u003Edeep\u003C\/em\u003E betrayal.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"x4KEfB\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"doZa14\"\u003EAnd so, the idea that you were going to run a race with integrity and be honest and positive.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"S2coac\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo you wanted to, since you had a swing district, you wanted to be positive, forward-thinking.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"q0Aksz\"\u003EThat’s right.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"AZzBwd\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENot necessarily running against Trump.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"6CLfqh\"\u003EI was not running against Trump. Donald Trump, this election in the 14th was not about Donald Trump.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"wPi7hd\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"QcpGWx\"\u003EI didn’t talk about the president. It was something that everyone knew was going on, but it didn’t really have a bearing on our race.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"I1V3Nu\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMeaning the voters did not want it, they wanted to talk about the issues in your district.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"G9TBkm\"\u003ERight, I mean, Donald Trump won our district. He got 49 percent, Hillary Clinton got 45. With that 45 percent, she outperformed Barack Obama in 2012, but Obama won our community in 2008. And then obviously everybody voted for him for senator.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"0g8u24\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"rYiLFb\"\u003EAt the same time that I was running, we had a really competitive gubernatorial race. J.B. Pritzker won that governor’s race in our state. He won by 16 points.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"aJ17Wi\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3CDh9C\"\u003EHe lost my district by eight, and I won by five. So there’s a lot of people who voted for Donald Trump. They voted for Bruce Rauner for governor, the Republican. And they voted for me.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"nGftYw\"\u003EAnd we knew that, in our community, we would not be successful if our race was about partisanship, right? This is not, “Vote for the Democrat.” That doesn’t mean that much to a lot of people, right? The Democratic Party in our state is run by a machine. The machine ends up being pretty toxic, you know, doesn’t have a lot of fans out our way.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"7L76hn\"\u003EWhat we found is that if we were able to talk to our voters, mostly women, women age 35 to 70. In my district, their names are Pat and Barb and Sue and Marge, and they are the ladies of the 14th District. And we would go out and we would talk to them. Everything we put out is designed to reach them. We know what they read, we know what they watch, we know the language they use, how they communicate with each other.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"iDXaj5\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo how does Barb feel right now?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Fxa5Lp\"\u003ESo Barb, listen, Barb is pretty frustrated right now. Barb is pretty frustrated because gridlock is consuming, right? The president keeps tweeting. He’s very offensive, right? He’s using language that she would \u003Cem\u003Enever\u003C\/em\u003E tolerate out of her kids. That her kids would get suspended from school if they said those kinds of things. She sees an administration whose officials are breaking the law by ignoring subpoenas. And even if she doesn’t buy into the whole need of investigations, which she — depending on if Barb is a Democrat or not — she doesn’t.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"0AWLgg\"\u003EShe’s concerned about the flagrant breaking of the law and she really just wants someone to help her with her health care costs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"17pINL\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"4gfryP\"\u003EShe really wants someone to help her have a reliable internet connection, because depending on where she lives in my district, she doesn’t have it.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3yjfRe\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"7dqXNX\"\u003ERight? She really wants someone to help her child not be terrified, going to school, in three weeks when they go back, because those kids remember each and every active shooter drill.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"qXLULx\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"2EDiIV\"\u003EAnd it is like this, I would use the word paranoia, but it’s actually grounded in a very real chance that it could happen to us.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"I0ktJm\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYes, absolutely. Yeah.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"GhIWKO\"\u003EAnd she’s disgusted that this is what our country has become, right? Where children are scared to go to school. So, Barb is not, like, happy right now. Barb, I think, is pleased that her congresswoman shows up and is engaged and whatever, but she’s concerned about the future of our country.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"tMqIEt\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo when you get to Congress, well, that’s what you’re faced with.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"fDk5Th\"\u003EThat’s right.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ehjuTS\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYou’re faced with this. So what do you do as a swing congresswoman? A lot of people here and across ... well, not Nancy Pelosi, she represents this district.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"yZY4dj\"\u003EYes, she does.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"wTOJ7z\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHaven’t been pushing for impeachment, haven’t been caught up in the fighting that’s been going on, or apparent fighting between the Squad and Nancy Pelosi. And all the Democrats seemingly fighting, in some fashion, is hard to understand, I think.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"EFYykg\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMeanwhile, Trump takes advantage of it and uses it to create a series of racist tweets, that are flagrantly racist. How do you, when you are in your position, can you explain to everyone what the risks of doing that is, and why you wish you could or wish you couldn’t? Or, where are you on impeachment right now?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"QY7u3Y\"\u003EOkay, so I’ll answer the first part of your question first, which is what do you do when you win from a swing district?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"pXUTyh\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERight.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"su9FEv\"\u003EAnd so, I recognized that health care is the No. 1 issue in my district, across the country, and that’s what I went to Congress to do. So I serve on three committees, one of which is Education and Labor — which was always traditionally part of health reform conversations but had a very, very small role, as compared to the others, meaning Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce. Well, they put me, Donna Shalala and Kim Schrier, the first female physician in Congress, on this small health care committee to work on health care. And we get to do whatever we want. Right? And it’s so fun. They are so smart. We are aligned...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"RUMgfM\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah. Nobody crosses Donna Shalala. But go ahead, yeah.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"TjOoxz\"\u003ERight, it’s amazing. And so, we really get to advance the health care agenda. I requested to serve on Homeland Security, and I’m now the vice chair on Homeland Security, and we have jurisdiction over the US-Mexico border and what’s going on, right?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"zR70dZ\"\u003EAnd so, remember when I said the only issue that bumped health care was the treatment of the migrant children? Now we get to work on that, right? And I serve on Veteran’s Affairs. And the way that our country has continued to struggle to offer high-quality health care services to our nation’s heroes is, quite candidly, pretty despicable. And I was like, “Let’s work on this.”\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"KXd8L9\"\u003EAnd so, I decided to go to Congress and work on health care issues at every chance I get, right? On Homeland, they’ve never had a health care person, ever, since this committee was created, since the Department of Homeland Security was created post-9\/11. What an incredible opportunity, when we think about cybersecurity and all the rest, to really explore and dig deep. So I love my job. I think it’s very fun. And we’re getting to solve a lot of problems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"2wrhMf\"\u003ENow, with respect to impeachment and the investigations and all these other things, in my community, there’s a large cohort of people that shut down when you say “Russia,” that you can’t even get to investigation or impeachment, because it’s just noise to them, right? It’s been like this endless bickering. They don’t really know who’s at fault, that doesn’t care because it’s not addressing the core issues affecting their family, and it feels like more of the same, right? Because, again, that voter in my community is very familiar with what corruption looks like. And so, this flavor is not necessarily more or less alarming than others.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"0XhoC8\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEven if it’s insecure elections, it’s just the same...\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"TuYTQd\"\u003EWell, right, because you have to remember, we knew that Illinois got hacked well before the Mueller report came out. We knew before my election in 2018, we knew that there were vulnerabilities that were exploited and that the Russians got in. We knew this.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ECA3XW\"\u003EAnd so, two years later, for Mr. Mueller to outline it in a report, it’s like, “Yes, next,” almost. It’s alarming, and there’s certainly things we need to do about it. But I’m just saying, the ladies of the 14th, I don’t know that they’re across-the-board clamoring.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UUnrFJ\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo what do you do in that situation? You have not supported impeachment yet, is that correct?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"oTLFVr\"\u003EI have not called for impeachment.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"vjiIgh\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAnd that’s because ...?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"QkDbYE\"\u003EThat’s because we need to move forward in a way that brings the community with us, because if I act unilaterally, or what’s perceived as unilaterally, and leave my community behind, then it looks like a power grab. And then I’m no better than him, being the president. And that’s not what we’re here for. Right?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"kzVAyZ\"\u003EI think it’s very important to make sure that our investigations can continue forward. As Mr. Mueller stated when he testified, the scope of his investigation was very limited. He could only do obstruction and Russian interference. He wasn’t able to investigate the financial dealings and all these other things. Congress is the only one that can do that, along with a few attorney generals, depending on their jurisdiction. Right?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"6K02qU\"\u003EAnd so, I think that we need to continue to see where the court cases go. We are — we being the House — is winning a lot of these court cases. And I think it’s important that we get all the information, because let’s say that we just skip ahead and we move forward today, right? A lot of that information would never come out. And I think that a lot of people are concerned primarily with the president’s actions, but I think that there could be a scenario where others are involved, and it’s important to have all the facts so that we can ensure that this never happens again in our country.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"lLPPkZ\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah. So you’re running for the next election, which is like tomorrow, you have to start doing that, right?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"97ApQm\"\u003EWe’ve already launched our reelection, yeah. I mean, I have seven Republican opponents, so a lot of people, especially at the congressional level, that you’ll talk to, they’ll say, “We’re gearing up for a very competitive race.” No, I’m \u003Cem\u003Ein\u003C\/em\u003E a competitive race. I had a Republican opponent that filed to run against me two weeks after I was elected in \u003Cem\u003ENovember\u003C\/em\u003E of 2018. It’s like they objected on general principle. I hadn’t been sworn in, I hadn’t done anything. And it’s just like, “Nope. Who is this young black woman in \u003Cem\u003Eour\u003C\/em\u003E seat?” And that layer of racism, sexism, -isms is on everything that they, the Republicans, put out.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"BxgHtH\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo how do you feel?

Because that’s the critical part of getting the House.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"XoeaRn\"\u003EI mean, I’m home every weekend. I think I have missed probably two weekends in six months. And we show up to all the small towns and all the public events, and we have the town halls, we do these things called “office hours,” which, I found after the first set of town halls that people had questions that really weren’t appropriate for the large group, and people just wanted to be able to engage me directly. So I’ll just post up at a city council chambers, and people just come in and talk to me for 10 minutes and ask their questions or take their pictures, or whatever. They just want to be able to interact. And I think that that’s really important. We have good constituent services.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"7par7l\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo how are you going to hold onto the seat?

I think that if I’m forced to run the 2020 presidential in the Illinois 14th, we will lose. I think that if I wait to engage those voters that we know that we need to follow up with and we wait until the spring of 2020 to reach out to them, I will lose.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"W4Mdyv\"\u003EI think that some of the presidential candidates are super toxic.

Mayor Pete, I just did\u003C\/strong\u003E \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/recode\/2019\/7\/15\/20693930\/mayor-pete-buttigieg-kara-swisher-recode-decode-podcast-interview-2020-presidential-race-racism-tech\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Ean interview with him\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"0kQVu2\"\u003EHe’s a nice guy.

Yes.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"s0Hi9c\"\u003EAnd I want someone who’s used to talking to people. A lot of folks in Washington have gotten good at Washington, right? They learned how to be successful and effective in navigating a very dysfunctional system, which is a skill set and it’s very valuable. But there are a lot of people who are not used to going into a living room or sitting down in a diner and talking to a regular person. They have no idea what to say. They literally don’t know the words to use. They literally don’t. And that is something that I found was so valuable. If you are disciplined about your speech and your language, you can talk to anybody.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"dOkLfQ\"\u003ESo one of my favorite examples, because I figured you might ask, it’s about debt-free college.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"PKpl8U\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EI’m waiting on “toxic,” but go ahead.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"yiaGMU\"\u003EOkay, debt-free college. So debt-free college was something that really came out of the 2016 election, right? Bernie was all excited about debt-free college. And in my district, people don’t like things that are “free.” And they don’t like things that are “for all.” Right? They just don’t.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Y8M8DX\"\u003EAnd so I heard that and I said, “Okay. So what I would talk about is modernizing our financial aid system where we would have Pell grants that reflect the true cost of tuition at a four-year public college. And we would have subsidized student loans that would fill the gap for the rest: room, board, books, fees, whatever.” Right? And, lo and behold, people were like, “Yes, that’s right. We \u003Cem\u003Edo\u003C\/em\u003E need a modern financial aid system. People shouldn’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt,” right? And they’re on board, they’re like, “Yes.” Well, guess what? That’s the debt-free college proposal, but you don’t call it that. You don’t call it that because that turns people off.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Pe8Fif\"\u003EAnd I think one of the things that the Democratic Party has been doing is that we like hashtag labels, hashtag-y conversations, things that people can be like, “Oh, debt-free college. Yeah, mm-hmm.” And while that’s good at what I would consider to be mobilization, right, to get people out, that does not convince persuadables. And I think that we all need to be more thoughtful, we all being engaged, very engaged Democrats, need to be more thoughtful in the words that we use to describe our ideas when we are talking to persuadable voters. Persuadable voters are not mobilizing people.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Zj3R8K\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo getting to, then, Medicare-for-All, hashtag Medicare-for-All, how do you feel about that, being someone who is quite up on this topic?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"PbRcWz\"\u003EYes, so when I would travel around my district and people will be like, “Well, Lauren, Medicare-for-All,” I’d say, “Well, what do you mean by that?” And I would get some version of Medicare 55 and up, which is lowering the Medicare eligibility age, that is not Medicare for all, Medicare 40 and up, Medicare 18 and up, Medicare at birth, and buying into Medicare.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Gx03Rt\"\u003EThen you get the people who want to buy into Medicaid and they call it Medicare-for-All and all this other stuff, right? So everybody has a different definition. You have the people that want to keep private insurance, get rid of private insurance. There’s all these different ideas. We are in an open brainstorm period, and I think it’s very, very healthy for people to be having this open exchange of ideas.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"lwLGnt\"\u003EHowever, we know, at least in my community, that the majority of the support from Medicare-for-All is coming because people’s health care is too expensive and it’s out of reach for too many people. And that is what’s driving their support. And the reason I learned this is because I thought when I started running that people supported Medicare-for-All because, like me, they believed that health care was a human right. And that, in fact, is not the case. They support Medicare-for-All because they think that Medicare is free and they want health care to be free, because they can’t afford it. Does that make sense?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"jdxFx0\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"8nKAbq\"\u003EAnd so, I am not supporting the bills in the Congress as they stand. I think that they are flawed. And, more importantly, we don’t know how much they’ll cost and how to pay for them. And at this point, I think it is a strategic decision to not talk about the cost, because that will transform not only our health care system but our economy. And I think that in a community like mine, where the average income is $105,000 a year, average, that you need to be upfront about what that cost looks like and if folks will be on the hook for a tax increase.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"EdzY2s\"\u003ENow, just because it’s a tax increase doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, right? And I’m very clear on that. But people are not seeking out tax increases, as just a general rule.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"jwSGEa\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPolitics 101.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"mLzRgI\"\u003EYeah.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"gvnJMv\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERead my lips: no new taxes.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"W0N4QD\"\u003EWell, I didn’t say that, just for the tracker that’s listening to this, that was Kara.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"10HOFW\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo are there any other issues you think are critically important? Because I went to, just so you know, I went to the House Democratic Caucus to talk ...\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"psZiaR\"\u003EYou did. I was there, mm-hmm.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"xTxEun\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah, you were there.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"MSDJyJ\"\u003EAt our retreat.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"oF1xjz\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAt your retreat. And what was fascinating about it\u003C\/strong\u003E \u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Ewas\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E \u003Cstrong\u003Ethe differences of opinion, for me.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"mGPV3y\"\u003EYes. Yes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"cpIlQA\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAnd I brought my two sons, and one of them said, “Mom, this is a ballroom of America,” because everyone’s arguing with each other. And it was like, “The Republicans aren’t even here and they’re arguing with each other.” But what was really interesting was the different viewpoints. How do you work with a caucus like that? How do you feel being part of that versus sort of a more lockstep? How are they going to manage that? Because over here you have the Squad doing things. You’ve got Nancy Pelosi over here doing things. You’ve got the swing-state people. How do you manage to be, as part of that ...?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"QPSYvo\"\u003ESo we might have some disagreements in how you achieve certain goals, but for the most part everyone shares values, and I think even shares priorities, meaning folks recognize that health care is very important, right? That we want to pass an infrastructure package, that’s very important, right? This anti-corruption message is very important. Climate change is very important, right? So people are pretty united on those top agenda items. It’s just how you solve those problems is where there might be differences of opinion. And, in my experience, that reflects some of the difference of opinion among the American people.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"fNxaid\"\u003EThe press likes to talk about the division and the disagreements and how we can’t even talk to each other. There’s these heated debates and people storm out and all stuff. It’s nonsense.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"0RMtQ6\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWell, some of those words were pretty pointed. I don’t think that was the press. They said it...\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"K1e3Ro\"\u003EWell, yeah. I mean, I think it’s inappropriate ...\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"CweyEA\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThey all said it to each other, kind of thing.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"WFrRXc\"\u003ESure. But at the end of the day, we work together to get things done and to deliver for the people.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"S9iNi7\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBecause the Republicans are using those as a wedge between and among the Democrats. They’re using it to try to talk to the persuadables, “Look at this group,” they’re sort of taking the Squad and making it villainous.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"rlcFkp\"\u003EYeah.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"2Z4Q0h\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow do you deal with that? It can be somewhat effective to do that.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"bzC5aP\"\u003EWell, there’s a very clear difference in style, in the way that I do my job and the way that some of my other colleagues do theirs, and not just limited to those four women, but really across the caucus, there’s a real difference there. And I’m clear at who I work for. I work for the people of the 14th district. And we’re in touch. And I think that they do not hesitate to let me know when they disagree with things, and we have two-way communication.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"lg9jZn\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBut you’re in a world where this kind of talk is ... Is it just noise? I mean, you have Trump doing some, you have the Squad doing some, you have everybody ...\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"n26bc2\"\u003EWe had to learn very early on how to be disciplined in our work, because if I’m so busy responding to the news of the day, I will fall into a tangent and get so far off course that the idea of passing my health care legislation becomes an afterthought. And that is not what ... I am not here to respond to the news of the day.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"cRokxC\"\u003EAnd that’s, candidly, why I stopped going on all these news shows all the time, because we talk to the producers ahead of time, they’re like, “Oh yeah, we want to hear about your bill, we want to hear about your bill.” And I sit down, and they spend five minutes on the president’s tweets or whatever disagreement, and then 30 seconds on why I’m there. Right? And my job is not to communicate with America. My job is to communicate with the people of the 14th district.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"EMQA85\"\u003EAnd one of the things that I know in talking to some folks in this community is that there’s a real concern that the Democrats don’t have a message, or the Democrats aren’t being responsive and communicating about these top-tier issues. All we do is talk about investigations or Russia or Trump or whatever.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"e0W3Sk\"\u003EAnd I want you all to know that in my community, folks know what we’re working on. They know about my veterans suicide bill that we passed. They know about the robocall bill that we passed last week, right? They know that we affirmed the US to stay in the Paris Climate Agreement. They know about the wonderful work that we’re doing in the House, because our local press publishes it. And so, while that doesn’t get national coverage, I think in these swing communities, folks know.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"rgD5if\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo how do you, as a Democrat and as a politician, ignore the enormous amount of noise coming from Trump? Largely, he creates something and there’s an action. There’s an action-reaction, and action-reaction.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"M7ltdm\"\u003EI mean, I don’t ignore it. But I think a lot of people treat their social media like they are a news agency, right? So they are reporting out on what happens. I am not a journalist. It is not my job to be like, “Blah blah, blah happened today,” right? Someone can read that in the news. If I have something to \u003Cem\u003Esay\u003C\/em\u003E about it, then I will comment on it. But I don’t think I have to comment on everything. Like, for what?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ilstqU\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIs that hard to resist?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"qToYKH\"\u003ENo, because I have enough people that are close to me that I trust, and I don’t have like these ... I don’t get enraged where I just feel like I have to release. And if I wanted to release, it certainly would not be on Twitter. Certainly would not.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Kh6XIQ\"\u003ENow, I read comments. I’m very well-informed on what people think and what they’re saying, and you go deep, and it’s interesting when you meet your Twitter troll in real life, whew, and the troll lives around the corner. It is not a bot, right? And so then you’re like, “Okay.” You interact differently.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"To90IV\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat was your troll like?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"AfQEc4\"\u003EI mean, cranky and kind of odd. But they’re real people who are very engaged and don’t like what’s happening. And sometimes they’re loud at town halls and they demand attention and energy. But when that conversation moves offline, then at least you can have a conversation, which I think is valuable. Like, let’s just talk, because, at the end of the day, I don’t think that true values are ... At least in my community, we’re not that far from each other. We’re really not. It’s just in how we solve those problems, there might be disagreement.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"vPFO4C\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo why does it feel like that, coming out of Washington? Is it that people should just ignore what Trump is doing, not just saying, but doing? Sunday, yesterday, there were like eight things, it was like, “We’re going to kill everyone on death row.

I’m really curious to know, what was the challenge for you speaking to a community that I believe is 11 percent Hispanic, like 4 percent Asian American and less than 3 percent African American, speaking on issues that might have a tinge of like racialization, like migrant youth, in a way that was consumable and that couldn’t be headlined in some right-wing moment?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"IpALXk\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELauren Underwood:\u003C\/strong\u003E What’s interesting is that our election was not about race. Like, it literally didn’t really come up. And here’s why. I’m black. You can tell I’m black by looking at me, right? I know I’m black. They know I’m black. My parents are brown-skinned black people. My parents were on the campaign trail every day. Every event, one of my parents would be there, because they loved it and they love meeting people and seeing their new friends all around the community and they’re very engaged. My parents are so glad I’m running for reelection because they get to go and see their friends all around the district again, right? That’s just how we ran our campaign.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"ck9JzZ\"\u003ESo, once people were like, “Oh, okay. She’s a black woman. So, what do you think about X, Y, or Z?” Issue-based. That’s how the election was. And even with the migrant kids, it was a moral issue. Children should \u003Cem\u003Enot\u003C\/em\u003E be in cages and certainly not in the United States. People were horrified that this stuff was done in our name, right underneath our flag, by the leaders of our country. And they felt like it was wrong, un-American and completely unjust.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UvYnks\"\u003EAnd so that’s not something that I would have to stand in front of people and be like, “As a black woman” or “as a person of color, I am horrified.” No, as an \u003Cem\u003EAmerican\u003C\/em\u003E, I am horrified. And this is wrong and we have got to do everything that we can to stop it. And at the time, you know what Randy Hultgren said? He said, “Oh, I sent a letter.” Really? That’s weak, right? And people agreed. So it wasn’t like we had to invoke race or respond to challenges because of race.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"oahauN\"\u003ENow, this year’s a little different because Donald Trump has used racist rhetoric and targeting of many of my colleagues in order to score cheap points among his base. This is a strategy that he is employing. And many of my Republican opponents are ardent Trump supporters and they like to mimic what he does. And so we are preparing ourselves for a 2020 election that will have this — again, young black woman — intersectional racist, sexist, ageist attack line coming. And that’ll be different.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"f3cSXk\"\u003EBut I also have a record and now people know me. And so my staff and I were having this conversation today, like this whole idea of othering. Othering is only effective if people are scared of you. And I am not a scary person. And even if I were, right? Folks are, I think ... We have delivered for the people of the 14th district and we will be able to demonstrate that to them.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"vaVuP2\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOkay. Next question? Right here.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"isA8NW\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAudience member:\u003C\/strong\u003E Hi. Other than give you money, what can we San Franciscans do to help you?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"4WdHn6\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELauren Underwood:\u003C\/strong\u003E Well, thank you.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"GOXxRd\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDo you want San Francisco money? Just a question.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"lsaJq7\"\u003EWe are running a very competitive race. I need to raise $6 million to $8 million to win this race.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"SdVtZD\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWow. From $350,000.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"r05Qjr\"\u003EThat was for the primary.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"EII8PK\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThat was the primary and then the other one you spent ...\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Lnymzd\"\u003EAnd then whatever $4.7 less $350,000 is, so $4.3? A lot. So, yes, we need your financial investments. I’m not taking corporate PAC money, right? And we want to uplift the voices of people in our political process. And yes, in the House we passed HR1. And Mitch McConnell has basically said, “Over my dead body,” right? And that is unacceptable. So, we need to have a Senate that will be responsive to the American people instead of just killing all legislation, even nonpartisan legislation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"No3BVm\"\u003EI think of my veteran suicide prevention bill. This is something that everybody should be clamoring to vote for right now. And the idea that Mitch is just too busy with his judicial nominees to give it full consideration is something that I just think is appalling, right?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"qoS67b\"\u003ESo, what can you all do? I know that you all are very skilled at canvassing. I welcome you to come to the 14th district. People are so nice. Even folks who do not agree, they’ll be like, “I’m going to close the door now.” They will not slam it in your face. And it’s really a lovely experience. Phone banking and texting is very important. And then just at a foundational level, being careful how you speak and the words that you use and engaging in public discourse about what’s happening in our country is very important. And that is a message for \u003Cem\u003Eeverybody\u003C\/em\u003E, right?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"2L5L2X\"\u003EI do a lot of chats with interns and students, and I’ve spoken to every student nurse in the state of Illinois, and I always tell them, “Do not tweet in anger. Do not let that be your outlet, because this stuff lives on forever and there will be consequences for you and there will be consequences for all of us.” And I think that that’s just an important reminder for folks who are interacting with our political system in a way that yields influence, but folks may not be happy about the direction of our country. It’s very easy to be a boss behind a keyboard, right? And it just has some consequences for folks in other places.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"oTrV2I\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGood piece of advice. Over here? Right there.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"jp6T1l\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAudience member:\u003C\/strong\u003E Right, right. First of all, you are amazing and I thank you. Health care is also my No. 1 issue. I volunteered to help get it passed and for the past five years, I’ve been an enrollment counselor for Cover California.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"IIvaQZ\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELauren Underwood:\u003C\/strong\u003E Thank you.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UhRe3E\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAudience member:\u003C\/strong\u003E You’re welcome. It’s my passion as well. How are you feeling about, several of the candidates have plans where they want to fix the ACA, which we never got a chance to do, and then create the public option that’s Medicare-like? It’s what Pelosi wanted to do originally, and let people choose to go in there on their own so that it gradually takes over. Is that more your approach?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UXzCCh\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELauren Underwood:\u003C\/strong\u003E I think a public option is something that, duh, we need. Right? A public option is not a political winner. You say public option, nobody applauds in my community. No one applauded here, right? It’s just like, yes, if you want to buy into one of these programs, you should be able to do it. Next. And the idea that we have to expend so much political capital to do something as basic and needed as that is something that I think speaks to how fundamentally flawed our political system is. That being said, I think that we’re probably going to vote on a public option bill before the end of the 116th Congress and I think that that would be great.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"fNh1Jj\"\u003EI have a bill. It’s HR1868, it’s the Healthcare Affordability Act, which would extend tax credits to more Americans so that they could afford their health care premiums. Right now under the Affordable Care Act, people making 400 percent of the federal poverty limit or less, so a family of four making $100,000 or less, would be eligible for tax credits. But we know that every year, some people work an extra overtime shift or something very slightly small changes in their financial situation and they no longer qualify for the tax credits. Well, in my community, premium prices can be $20,000 or $25,000 a year — \u003Cem\u003Epremiums\u003C\/em\u003E on the marketplace — which is not affordable.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"UVuxBk\"\u003ESo, our bill says that people would pay no more than 8.5 percent of their adjusted gross income on premiums. So that same family of four would now pay $8,500, down from $20,000 or $25,000. Huge savings. People understand it. And I think we’re going to get a chance to get that on the floor this fall. I’m excited. I get excited about things like that. It’s concrete. It saves folks money. They understand how it would impact them. And you’ll appreciate it. This is for a silver plan. That’s good coverage. This is not like those high-deductible, “I have health insurance in case I need it” kind of situations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"sgJInY\"\u003EPeople need to be able to live healthy, well lives. This is not a luxury. This is not a commodity. This is basic human rights. And we have an opportunity in this 116th Congress to make real progress. We do not need to wait for a Democrat to be in the White House to be able to do this work. Now, Mitch is the barrier. But it is not like we don’t have the power to convince him, to persuade him, and to make him see that he needs to move on our legislation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"7e54GB\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOkay, last question. Let’s do the way back since I didn’t get to anyone in the way back. Sorry.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"1kIBy8\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAudience member:\u003C\/strong\u003E I’m curious about how you feel so confident knowing what Barb, or the representative in your voter, thinks.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"hrqUqN\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIt was Pat, Barb, and who?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"4jzI0x\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELauren Underwood:\u003C\/strong\u003E Sue and Marge. And they were real women.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3Xf0If\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAudience member:\u003C\/strong\u003E Sue and Marge. How did you get to know, get your pulse on, did you do polling? Was it really just from knocking on doors? Were there ever differences between focus groups or polling that you did and what you heard knocking on doors? I’m just curious how you really got, it seems like you really know your district.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"hHXCj4\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELauren Underwood:\u003C\/strong\u003E Yes. We got to know people through having a series of house parties. What a house party is is people invite you over and they invite their neighbors over. And we would sit there for an hour, hour and a half, and they would ask me whatever they wanted. And it would be on all kinds of things. And we got to know each other. And then we would come back. We’d come back and talk to them again. And then folks would come out and volunteer.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"iw7SjS\"\u003EAnd I like people. I like to talk to people. I’ll ask them questions about their lives, their business, their families, what they care about, why, how they got here, if they’ve ever done this before, I just ask a lot of questions. People are surprised that I care. And they share quite candidly.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"LEI6T5\"\u003ENow, of course, we did polling. Of course, we did the focus group. I couldn’t even really tell you what the focus group said. I think we only did one. That was not the most valuable way that we learned about the district. The most valuable way to learn about a community is to be in the community. Ayanna Pressley says, and I’m going to get it wrong, but she always says something like, “You got to be closest to the people with the pain so that they can have the power.” Something like that. I think you have to be among the people. Everybody’s not going to respond to a poll in a way that’s truly honest. We learned that in 2016 with these exit polls. But people will tell you about themselves. And they will do it quickly.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"xULMsS\"\u003EWho here’s been to speed dating? Right? It’s amazing. Am I the only one?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"Dj0kWO\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeah.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"QEmFHr\"\u003EOkay. Okay, yes. Manny and I, not together, but we have both been to speed dating.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"HQGIkV\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThat would be really wrong.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"3rsJtn\"\u003EYes. And in speed dating, you get like three minutes with the person. It’s amazing what people will tell you in three minutes about themselves. You’ll be sitting there like, “Ooh, is that really the way you want to introduce yourself?” It’s kind of shocking. But people just share. They share about their lives. And they welcome you into their homes and you meet their children or their grandchildren or their partner. And it’s beautiful, the trust that people place.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"BHcfcI\"\u003EAs a nurse, early in nursing school, we are taught how to build a rapport with a patient. Because you get maybe three, four minutes max with a new patient, to walk into their room and build trust. And so the way that we were taught to do it is you look into their eyes and you say, “Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m your nurse. How can I help you today? How are you feeling? Tell me what’s going on.” And they need to trust that the advice that we’re giving and the information that we’re sharing is in their best interest, right? And that we’re only doing it because we believe that it can help them.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"mLsgNB\"\u003EAnd I see so many parallels in the work that I do today. People come up to me and they’re like, “Lauren, I need help. I don’t know where to turn. I don’t know what to do.” People are sharing their most vulnerable concerns and it’s almost like a very intimate moment. They are very, very, very vulnerable. And it’s an honor to be able to do this work on their behalf. And I’m really grateful that they place their trust in me.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"G5Vabt\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFinal question, what’s the best question Marge asked you? Or Pat?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"6yjQCg\"\u003EYeah. Or Pat.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"G6T3NX\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENot Barb.

And those are always fun because inevitably someone has a son, right? Or the cute neighbor down the street, and I should come back a different day so we could just like casually bump into that person. That kind of stuff.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"OP5Ikl\"\u003EAnd I really enjoy those interactions because then that’s just human being to human being. Right? And they care and they’re invested. The ladies of the 14th are often like, “Lauren, how are you doing? No really, are you getting enough sleep? Are you drinking water? How can you keep up with this schedule?” That kind of thing. They care. And they’re watching and they’re following, and I appreciate that. And so we have great chats. You really should come out.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\"9YYeyV\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EI’m planning on it now.

More accurately, they want a Lebanese central government that sanctions their regional imperialist designs by signing a peace treaty with them. They also seek acquiescence in their designs by the Syrian, Iraqi, Jordanian and other Arab governments as well as by the Palestinian people.

It is also clear that the Palestinians were never the sole target of Zionist plans, but the priority target since their viable and independent presence as a people negates the essence of the Zionist state.

This need has become even more vital due to a number of central processes which the country, the region and the world are undergoing. We are living today in the early stages of a new epoch in human history which is not at all similar to its predecessor, and its characteristics are totally different from what we have hitherto known. That is why we need an understanding of the central processes which typify this historical epoch on the one hand, and on the other hand we need a world outlook and an operational strategy in accordance with the new conditions.

The political, social and economic views which have emanated from this foundation have been based on several “truths” which are presently disappearing–for example, the view that man as an individual is the center of the universe and everything exists in order to fulfill his basic material needs. This position is being invalidated in the present when it has become clear that the amount of resources in the cosmos does not meet Man’s requirements, his economic needs or his demographic constraints. In a world in which there are four billion human beings and economic and energy resources which do not grow proportionally to meet the needs of mankind, it is unrealistic to expect to fulfill the main requirement of Western Society,\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/roundtable_texts\/\" style=\"color: #105cb6;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Csup\u003E1\u003C\/sup\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;i.e., the wish and aspiration for boundless consumption. The view that ethics plays no part in determining the direction Man takes, but rather his material needs do–that view is becoming prevalent today as we see a world in which nearly all values are disappearing.

The view which promises liberty and freedom to mankind seems absurd in light of the sad fact that three fourths of the human race lives under totalitarian regimes. The views concerning equality and social justice have been transformed by socialism and especially by Communism into a laughing stock. There is no argument as to the truth of these two ideas, but it is clear that they have not been put into practice properly and the majority of mankind has lost the liberty, the freedom and the opportunity for equality and justice. In this nuclear world in which we are (still) living in relative peace for thirty years, the concept of peace and coexistence among nations has no meaning when a superpower like the USSR holds a military and political doctrine of the sort it has: that not only is a nuclear war possible and necessary in order to achieve the ends of Marxism, but that it is possible to survive after it, not to speak of the fact that one can be victorious in it.\u003Csup\u003E2\u003C\/sup\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"padding: 10px 0px 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E4\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"padding: 10px 0px 0px;\"\u003EThe essential concepts of human society, especially those of the West, are undergoing a change due to political, military and economic transformations.

The power of nuclear as well as of conventional weapons, their quantity, their precision and quality will turn most of our world upside down within a few years, and we must align ourselves so as to face that in Israel.

Since 1967, the Soviets have transformed Clausewitz’ dictum into “War is the continuation of policy in nuclear means,” and made it the motto which guides all their policies.

In the long run, this world will be unable to exist within its present framework in the areas around us without having to go through genuine revolutionary changes. The Moslem Arab World is built like a temporary house of cards put together by foreigners (France and Britain in the Nineteen Twenties), without the wishes and desires of the inhabitants having been taken into account.

It is assumed that the Israeli military forces, in all their branches, are insufficient for the actual work of occupation of such wide territories as discussed above. In fact, even in times of intense Palestinian “unrest” on the West Bank, the forces of the Israeli Army are stretched out too much. The answer to that is the method of ruling by means of “Haddad forces” or of “Village Associations” (also known as “Village Leagues”): local forces under “leaders” completely dissociated from the population, not having even any feudal or party structure (such as the Phalangists have, for example). The “states” proposed by Yinon are “Haddadland” and “Village Associations,” and their armed forces will be, no doubt, quite similar. In addition, Israeli military superiority in such a situation will be much greater than it is even now, so that any movement of revolt will be “punished” either by mass humiliation as in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, or by bombardment and obliteration of cities, as in Lebanon now (June 1982), or by both. In order to ensure this,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Ethe plan\u003C\/em\u003E, as explained orally, calls for the establishment of Israeli garrisons in focal places between the mini states, equipped with the necessary mobile destructive forces.

They then “learn it,” more or less, and preach to others. It should be remarked that Israel, and even the Yishuv from the Twenties, has always functioned in this way. I myself well remember how (before I was “in opposition”) the necessity of war with was explained to me and others a year before the 1956 war, and the necessity of conquering “the rest of Western Palestine when we will have the opportunity” was explained in the years 1965-67.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"padding: 10px 0px 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E5\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"padding: 10px 0px 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy is it assumed that there is no special risk from the outside in the publication of such plans?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"padding: 10px 0px 0px;\"\u003ESuch risks can come from two sources, so long as the principled opposition inside Israel is very weak (a situation which may change as a consequence of the war on Lebanon) : The Arab World, including the Palestinians, and the United States. The Arab World has shown itself so far quite incapable of a detailed and rational analysis of Israeli-Jewish society, and the Palestinians have been, on the average, no better than the rest. In such a situation, even those who are shouting about the dangers of Israeli expansionism (which are real enough) are doing this not because of factual and detailed knowledge, but because of belief in myth. A good example is the very persistent belief in the non-existent writing on the wall of the Knesset of the Biblical verse about the Nile and the Euphrates. Another example is the persistent, and completely false declarations, which were made by some of the most important Arab leaders, that the two blue stripes of the Israeli flag symbolize the Nile and the Euphrates, while in fact they are taken from the stripes of the Jewish praying shawl (Talit). The Israeli specialists assume that, on the whole, the Arabs will pay no attention to their serious discussions of the future, and the Lebanon war has proved them right.

The more or less serious commentators take their information about Israel, and much of their opinions about it, from two sources.

In his book, former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said that the Israeli government is in fact responsible for the design of American policy in the Middle East, after June ’67, because of its own indecisiveness as to the future of the territories and the inconsistency in its positions since it established the background for Resolution 242 and certainly twelve years later for the Camp David agreements and the peace treaty with Egypt. According to Rabin, on June 19, 1967, President Johnson sent a letter to Prime Minister Eshkol in which he did not mention anything about withdrawal from the new territories but exactly on the same day the government resolved to return territories in exchange for peace. After the Arab resolutions in Khartoum (9\/1\/67) the government altered its position but contrary to its decision of June 19, did not notify the U.S. of the alteration and the U.S. continued to support 242 in the Security Council on the basis of its earlier understanding that Israel is prepared to return territories. At that point it was already too late to change the U.S. position and Israel’s policy. From here the way was opened to peace agreements on the basis of 242 as was later agreed upon in Camp David.

That same person said two years earlier that the government of Israel (from which he withdrew) had placed a noose around his neck. He was referring to the Camp David agreements (\u003Cem\u003EHa’aretz\u003C\/em\u003E, 11\/3\/78). In the course of the whole peace negotiations neither an expert nor an economics advisor was consulted, and the Prime Minister himself, who lacks knowledge and expertise in economics, in a mistaken initiative, asked the U.S. to give us a loan rather than a grant, due to his wish to maintain our respect and the respect of the U.S. towards us.
