“He's polite, more polite, I guess I should say. Less creepy? A little less creepy. Yeah, he doesn't quite have that creep factor. And so it makes it harder. I faced that challenge in 2014 when I ran against Greg Abbott. People didn't really know a whole lot about him. He'd never served in a policy making body before. He'd been our AG and had previously been on the Supreme Court, but he didn't have like a policy record that you could run against. And he's a likable person when you have conversations with him. And it's really hard to help people understand why that person actually is going to be very, very bad for them and their families. And there will be a challenge like that with John Cornan, making sure that voters understand what his record has been, how very much an aid to Donald Trump he has been, and how and”

“It's going to be a tough phrase. There's no question. When Beto ran against Ted Cruz, he had the advantage of the built-in negatives that Ted Cruz brings with him. And the fact that he is just... so widely disliked. And John Cornan has been every bit as dangerous for all of us in the future of this country and the things that we ought to be working on. And yet he's been more quiet about it.”

“All right, what does that mean? I just wish you would just not work collaboratively sometimes. I wish women would just say, I will have that. I do that all the time. So I will take the most money. Thank you. And please give me more. But when you think about running for Senate, is there anything that detracts from it besides cooperating with others in the race? How do you look at it why you want to do this?”

“For John Cornan's seat, yeah. It's actually. I should have said that differently for the seed that John Cornyn currently occupies. But you know, we're having great conversations about that between me, Joaquin Catholic, MJ Hager. We want to make sure that we're best positioned to advance the person who's going to take that seat. And I want to be a great team player in helping to make that happen. And if we decide that that's me, then I will do it. But if Joaquin decides that this is something that he wants to do, then MJ and I are going to get behind him. So we're working collaboratively.”

“We can rise to the occasion, and I think the fact that so many women ran and won this time and many others ran and almost won, it's not going to be a one cycle phenomenon that women step up. They're going to keep doing it.”

“So we'll know more, obviously, in a couple of years. I feel like there's tremendous momentum. And I think it's going to continue. Obviously, we have more women ever elected to Congress than we've ever had before. More women of color than we've ever had before. And they're changing the conversation. And not everybody's real comfortable with it, you know, but it's exactly what democracy is about and it's exactly what's supposed to happen when people come from different life experiences and different backgrounds and they move different values to what's being heard. So I think it's a very healthy thing for the Democratic Party. There's a lot of soul searching going on about whether it's getting too scary left or whether the Democratic Party is going to turn into what we saw happen with the Republican Party, with the Tea Party kind of fracturing it.”

“Going to take a quick break now, but we'll be back after this with Arlen Hamilton and Wendy Davis. Wendy, talk a little bit about sort of the national scene because we're in the middle of a presidential cycle already. I have to interview Amy Klobachar tomorrow, for example. Obviously, I'm going to have to talk about the issues around term management, but that's besides, but initially, because I do want to talk about tech policy and all the other things. But how do you look at it on a national level? Because, again, as I said, it feels like there's a shift, but not a wave, I guess. I don't know how the right political term is in that way. I don't know. We'll know more whether it's a shift or a wave in 2020, whether the momentum that we saw beginning in 2018, whether that continues into 2020. Very good. Sorry about that. Okay.”

“And going back to my original thought, I think that that has to happen. I want things to change overnight too. I really hate incremental change when it comes to something so important. But if we think about the fact that nothing was changing before, and now three years later I can come to an event like this, I can show people that we saw 5,000 companies that were led by an underrepresented founder in the last than five years alone, I can show that the 100 companies that we invested in and people aren't afraid to listen and people back that. We have 50 million plus and follow-on funding last year alone. And that wasn't from us. That was from outside people who didn't know these companies before that they existed. So if I think about how much has changed in my view and how much has been accomplished.”

“So there are those, but there are people, I think you see it, haven't had a chance to think about it, so we'll see what happens on the Twitters when I say this. You see it with the way in which white women ally. It's a lot less, you know, again, it's a lot less talk and it's a lot less sort of setting a very fine dinner table. It's more like this is half your table. And what do you want to do with your side?”

“This is a dumpster fire. This is terrible. But the optimistic side of me says if it's only taken three years for people to start shifting minds and hearts, they said we couldn't shift hearts. That's the one thing that I was warned about. You're not going to be able to change someone's internal thought about this in their heart about this. You may be able to talk to them about the bottom line. I see it that people have shifted their thinking and what they do on a day-to-day basis based on understanding.”

“The fact that we're talking about it, the fact that it's no longer whispered and that we can, and there's a lot of people, there are a lot of people who feel empowered right now. They're strengthened numbers. And it's just when I think back to 2015 where it was like I'm screaming out online and in front of people and saying things are going to change and there's going to be a reckoning and we have to get in front of this. It really, the difference between that and today where honestly walk outside here and just take a good look at what this place looks like right now compared to what it looked like four years ago. It's just different. And I mean people are in the room right now didn't feel like they could be in the room four years ago. They didn't feel like they were part of this. Not only do they feel invited, but they understand this is just as much theirs as it is anyone else.”

“In being the people who were creating their own grassroots organizations, turning people out to vote, doing all the hard volunteer work that it takes to succeed for candidates in our state. And it was because of them that those seats flipped and the legislators know that. And what has been so fascinating to watch some of these Republicans who did come back, but they barely came back. They almost lost their seats. Those are my favorite ones to watch in this session because suddenly they're trying to look like the greatest champion and friend to women you've ever seen. And they recognize our power. And I can just feel us at a tipping point right now. And I feel like even in a place like Texas, we're going to actually start moving some incredibly important progressive values forward because they just can't ignore us anymore.”

“And so, what we learned in that experience in this state, where we tend to give up before we even start, is that you just have to keep pressing ahead. Own your truth, own what you know is the right thing to do. And before long, you're going to really begin to move the needle. And here's why I feel like we have been so successful. And when I say we, I mean the collective we in Texas that have been working so hard on issues like this In this legislative session, we flipped 12 house seats, we flipped two Senate seats. That's unheard of, by the way. It was extraordinary that we did it. Yes. We have nine seats left to go in the Texas House to completely flip it into Democratic control. And we're going to do everything we can in 2020 to make that happen. But in the meantime, because people work so hard and particularly women, women in this state kicked ass, not just in running, but”

“Clinics across the state closed, women lost their access to that care, and we started seeing the ripple effect that we knew would follow it. Medicaid births went up exponentially, teen birth rates went up exponentially, our maternal mortality rate went up exponentially, and of course self-induced abortion went up. And women's health care was compromised. But the great thing was we never gave up. We took it all the way to the Supreme Court and three years later, the Supreme Court overturned that law. Yes, please clap. That's great. That's great.”

“I conducted a 13 hour filibuster to try to kill. Thank you. To try to kill a bill that would be very bad for women's ability to access safe and legal abortion in our state. And what was beautiful about that experience didn't have anything to do with what I did. It was the fact that in a state where we believe the deck is stacked so high against us, we give up before we even start. For whatever reason on that day, thousands and thousands and thousands of women and many men as well stormed the Texas Capitol and it was because of them in the final 15 minutes of that night when the filibuster was ultimately called to an end. It was the use of not just their figurative voices but their literal ones as they screamed with all their might that they kept a bill from passing by the midnight deadline. Now the next day it passed into law or the next week they called us back to another special session. It passed into law. All of our fears came true.”

“When you look back at what happened with you when you reflect back on it, it seems like we've gone back, you know, you did this filibuster, it was so well known. How do you reflect on that? Because you were pushing, pushing, pushing, push back, and it keeps pushing back. That's one of the things that I think a lot of people who are running, when they start to, obstacles start to naturally form in their way, not naturally, unnaturally form in their way, really, how do you think about your experience, what happened to you now, reflecting back on it?”

“And how do I get in the room and how do I sign up to speak in the room? And when I do get recognized in the room, how do I best present myself? We do a lot of work with them on that. And I'm telling you, when they sit down, these lawmakers, some of the crustiest old white Republican lawmakers, they just sit up and take notice. And so many of their bills that they work on sail out of committee unanimously two years ago. Our girls help to pass seven bills into law. They're going to have an even bigger record this time, so they're doing it. And I think when we show young women how to be powerful in those spaces, what I hope happens is that they sit in those committee hearings, they look up at that dais, and they say,”

“Testifying committee hearings. They are working on a number of issues, all of which fall in some way, shape or form under a gender equity umbrella. One of the biggest issues they're working on in this legislative session centers around the backlog of rape kits in our state, sexual assault reform, making sure that all those protections for our campuses that are being stripped away by Betsy DeVos under Title IX are being reinstated at the state level. And when they show up in these committee hearings because they've been helped to figure out where is the room.”

“Yeah, to your point, Arlen, they're not going to just make the room available to you, right? You have to kick the door open. And that's what we're trying to teach young women to do. Deeds not words exist very specifically and only to make sure that we're helping to show young women a path to effectively using their voices. It is not lack of passion that millennials or Generation Z suffer from. It's sometimes a lack of understanding about how to be most effective in getting their voices and their passions moved to the forefront of conversation. So we spend a whole lot of time with them. We have 19 high school and college chapters around the state and we spend a whole lot of time in that Texas Capitol where these young women come, they take the capital by storm in a beautiful way.”

“All right, Wendy, talking about this is like Silicon Valley all through, like the idea of not opening things up. Talk a little bit about you started a group after you were a legislator. Talk a little bit about what you've done since then. We did a great podcast about deeds, not words. Where do you imagine we are? Because it does feel like we're sort of in this in-between place right now, that it looks like forces of progressiveness are on the rise, and then at the same time the retrograde is happening. It feels super confusing to me at least”

I don't have a problem with him having an opinion. It's not my place to say that his list is wrong. That's his list. He didn't come into my list and say, no, I don't like Drake.

And a million people pay attention to what he says. And that's a problem. So his response to that could have been many things, including, hey, you don't know me well enough to put that on me out here. Let's talk about it. Or I would prefer you didn't put my name at your mouth. He could have said all that, but instead he said, he basically said, accused me of being sexist, accused me of demeaning Jessica's contribution. And that is when I took offense because of all people, Paul Graham is not going to tell me that I'm sexist. Of all”

I mean, there are some kind of surface level things and some things that I think we could talk about, and I'd love to talk to him about it. I don't have this sort of disdain. I don't have Peter Till level disdain for him. But he said something on Twitter about some of his favorite investors who are operators, and he listed a few, and that was his business. That's his feed. And then one of my friends on Twitter that I met before, she said, hey, that's cool. That's a great list.

“Still not yet reflective of the percentage that they occupy in the population, but their participation increased dramatically in 2018, and I think seeing that outcome, a lot of time the thing that most difficult to overcome is people's belief that their voice doesn't matter. And so when we have a robust election cycle that we did in 2018, it begins to help plant the idea and the belief in people's minds that, hey, you know, it really does. And so I think we're going to see in Texas just as we've seen elsewhere around the country, the continued political leadership of women. We elected the first two ever in the history of the state of Texas, despite the very vast population of Latinas in our state, we finally just elected our first two Latinas to Congress, Victoria Escobar from El Paso.”

“Here in our state to convince them that they actually have the power to make a difference is a challenge. But we have been working all over the state and we have extraordinary young women who are stepping forward, who are wanting to participate in leading the conversation that is reflective of them, their lives, and their values, and they're just doing amazing work. So on the national level, there's been a lot of that. There's been this new group of energy put into Congress, the squads led by AOC apparently, all the kind of things that are going, it seems like, you know, I was going to start at something called a militia etheridge, but I like characters a bit better. But it's an open character. I'm going to get a t-shirt that's right. Right, yeah. Go right ahead. How do you look at it compared to the national scale with Texas? It's shifted really quickly.”

So, this is called Against the Odds, this talk, although I think we've all done rather well in general, but I want to talk about sort of some where we are right now in the various areas you're in politics and the stuff you're doing and Arlen, what you're doing around venture capital. Where are we against the odds, each of you? What do you think the biggest challenges that are being faced in the areas that you are working in? Why don't we start with you, Wendy? So the area I'm working in now really is attempting to make sure that we're involving as many young women in political discourse and political leadership as we possibly can. And it can be challenging to convince young people who've been ignored for such a long time, particularly in a state like ours, young women of color who have been on the receiving end of so many hostile policies.”
