HEMMER I said lone ░░░░░░░░ because Senator Mark Warner ░░░░░░░░ of Virginia is also ░░░░░░░░ Democrat He seems to ░░░░░░░░ in your column now ░░░░░░░░ said this Watch Clip ░░░░░░░░ WARNER I think the ░░░░░░░░ brand is really bad ░░░░░░░░ I think this one ░░░░░░░░ based on culture and ░░░░░░░░ Democrats kind of failure ░░░░░░░░ connect on a cultural ░░░░░░░░ with a wide swath ░░░░░░░░ Americans is hugely problematic ░░░░░░░░ think the majority of ░░░░░░░░ party realizes that the ░░░░░░░░ purity of some of ░░░░░░░░ groups is a recipe ░░░░░░░░ disaster And that the ░░░░░░░░ the attack on over ░░░░░░░░ top wokeism was a ░░░░░░░░ attack Clip ends HEMMER ░░░░░░░░ mean it seems in ░░░░░░░░ that he s probably ░░░░░░░░ about that And voters ░░░░░░░░ the same way PHILLIPS ░░░░░░░░ I wish Senator Warner ░░░░░░░░ others who have felt ░░░░░░░░ way for a long ░░░░░░░░ had raised their voices ░░░░░░░░ it mattered Bill You ░░░░░░░░ we just had an ░░░░░░░░ in which too many ░░░░░░░░ my colleagues in my ░░░░░░░░ were quiet and fearful ░░░░░░░░ repercussions if they spoke ░░░░░░░░ truth And here s ░░░░░░░░ we find ourselves Now ░░░░░░░░ opposition party that had ░░░░░░░░ grand opportunity to still ░░░░░░░░ a party with some ░░░░░░░░ in Washington But that ░░░░░░░░ how the cookie crumbles ░░░░░░░░ that s part of ░░░░░░░░ problem in Washington Bill ░░░░░░░░ around the country We ░░░░░░░░ to start liberating politicians ░░░░░░░░ speak the truth I ░░░░░░░░ we need term limits ░░░░░░░░ provide an incentive to ░░░░░░░░ so And no matter ░░░░░░░░ politics we have to ░░░░░░░░ recruiting and appealing to ░░░░░░░░ Americans to serve the ░░░░░░░░ And I would just ░░░░░░░░ that Mr Musk and ░░░░░░░░ Trump as they pursue ░░░░░░░░ policy of efficiency take ░░░░░░░░ look at the Pentagon ░░░░░░░░ 1 trillion that we ░░░░░░░░ spending almost every year ░░░░░░░░ a look at health ░░░░░░░░ that we have about ░░░░░░░░ thirds of American bankruptcies ░░░░░░░░ to medical debt You ░░░░░░░░ take a look at ░░░░░░░░ education system falling behind ░░░░░░░░ entire world We have ░░░░░░░░ be a nation of ░░░░░░░░ And that s why ░░░░░░░░ wish my Democratic colleagues ░░░░░░░░ Republican colleagues would work ░░░░░░░░ to do better for ░░░░░░░░ of us because frankly ░░░░░░░░ party is doing it ░░░░░░░░ well right now HEMMER ░░░░░░░░ you know Pentagon s ░░░░░░░░ the crosshairs very soon ░░░░░░░░ Department of Education was ░░░░░░░░ last week So they ░░░░░░░░ moving on that Quickly ░░░░░░░░ the Gallup poll here ░░░░░░░░ you rather see the ░░░░░░░░ Party become more liberal ░░░░░░░░ the same or more ░░░░░░░░ Forty five percent say ░░░░░░░░ moderate So when Warner ░░░░░░░░ about wokeism being over ░░░░░░░░ top he s right ░░░░░░░░ word I got to ░░░░░░░░ PHILLIPS Yeah last word ░░░░░░░░ this Moderation is relative ░░░░░░░░ don t have to ░░░░░░░░ your values to be ░░░░░░░░ And I think the ░░░░░░░░ party must start employing ░░░░░░░░ little bit of pragmatism ░░░░░░░░ start listening to Americans ░░░░░░░░ just in big cities ░░░░░░░░ all around the country ░░░░░░░░ All right PHILLIPS That ░░░░░░░░ a recipe for success ░░░░░░░░ Sounds like you might ░░░░░░░░ a new platform and ░░░░░░░░ ll keep in touch ░░░░░░░░ that Dean Phillips thank ░░░░░░░░ for your time sir ░░░░░░░░ for coming on PHILLIPS ░░░░░░░░ you, Bill.”
