  4. We just had Devin Newsamine. He said the same thing. He's like, everyone politicians say, oh, this guy's nice, Tim Pills. Really nice guy. Governor Gresham Whitmer, thank you so much for coming back onto Pudsave America. I've been talking too long for five days in a row.

  5. Let's go. We've been saying that. The assignment is making sure that people elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. That's the assignment of the street. Boom. Great.

  6. And how many dogs have animals were harmed in the making of your book? And you've murdered a dog executed. No goats even were executed in my book. No goats. Okay, well, that's no, you know what?

  7. I want to talk about your book True Gretsch. What really struck me is how candid and conversational it is. You swear, you tell stories about getting drunk, about getting tattoos, what made you decide to write an interesting but potentially risky book as opposed to just a safe politician book?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  8. Michigan Senator Gary Peters said this week that he thinks Kamal Harris has differences with Joe Biden on Gaza and that she should speak publicly about those differences. What do you think?

  9. So, you're somebody that's won decisively in a state that's now 50-50 in this presidential election. How do you explain that space between voters who proudly voted for you and are right now saying they're undecided?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  10. All right, when we come back from the break, you'll hear our interview with Big Gretch herself, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. But before we do that, a brand new episode of Assembly required with Stacey Abrams is out now. This week, Stacey recorded live from the DNC floor with the youngest member of Congress, Maxwell Frost, and Civic Engagement Influencer Haley Lickstein to talk about what matters to the youngest generation of voters and how their generation is working to mobilize their peers this election. This episode is so good, but it's also just the start of what Assembly Required has in store, from deepfakes and NIL deals to the rights aggressive war on books. Stacy is taking on all the big issues to answer. How can we get good done? New episodes drop Thursdays, listen to assembly required with Stacey Abrams right now wherever you get your podcasts. When we come back, Gretchen Whitmer.

  11. Okay, I'm going to end this here. Okay, when we come back more of today's DNC coverage brought to you by policy genius. Starting with our conversation with Harris Campaign Communications Director, Michael Tyler.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  12. We'll continue this in the subscribers only pod. What I want to know is if the August 28th RFK Junior campaign sunset cruise that includes Alicia Silverstone and Meta World Peace will happen either way. Alicia Silverstone?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  13. So there's a number of candidates that could pull from Harris or more likely to pull from Harris than Trump, if that's the issue.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  14. But what happens? Maybe he doesn't like Kom Harris, maybe he doesn't vote at all? I don't know, right? So there could be, I'm trying to figure out the voter who was like, you know what? They've seen Donald Trump for the last nine years. They've decided, eh, maybe I'll do RFK Jr. RFK Jr. drops up. They're like, you know what? If you've already decided that you might leave Trump for RFK Jr. Do you go back to Donald Trump or do you just stay home?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  15. Right. Something we should quasi endorsed RFK Jr. and then sort of walked back and said, I just like him, whatever. So RFK Jr. dropping out is not making Joe Rogan go to Donald Trump.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  16. It might benefit him if he choose. That, and I was trying to think of the vote. Like, I'm thinking about Joe Rogan, right? Who seems like he doesn't like Donald Trump.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  17. We'll probably hear that during the debates. Meanwhile, in less funny news, it was widely reported today that RFK Jr. will give a speech on Friday morning announcing that he's dropping out of the race and endorsing Donald Trump. Dan, what do you make of the impact on the race?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  18. Exposed. But you know what? Looking back on it, I don't think he exercised any discipline or control. He just wasn't triggered or attacked in any way by Joe Biden. I guess that's true or the moderators. So it didn't make it when he gets, when you make him mad.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  19. I'll check it out. You know what time? Go to bed, wake up. Download the pod. Just listen to it. So, Marc Caputo at the bulwark published a piece today. Donald Trump, I hate my opponent. And it starts, Donald Trump has no plans to heed the advice of his aides and limit himself to policy contrast when he debates Kamala Harris. He wants to make it personal. Quote, this is just the way I am. I hate my opponent. I hate my opponents. Hillary, Joe, Kamala, it doesn't matter. I just hate them. To another advisor, he said, I'm going to be mean.

  20. Young male aud Mic or off mic anymore, but there's a huge In fact, you're going to hear about that in just a bit because Lovett and I asked Gretchen Whitmer about that. Oh, nice. What'd you say?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  21. It is just so funny that, like, oh, you know, I thought about being nice, which is, you know, sort of my style. I think that the guy who I accused of not being born in America and demanding to see his birth certificate for the better part of a decade, I don't know, I think I'm going to sort of unload on him.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  22. Saying this Six months. I presumably you're going to go do something else. What are we talking about? All right, so Trump has been doing his best, I think, to bracket the DNC programming with message events of his own. And boy, has he been on message. Today he held a rally in North Carolina that was supposed to be about national security. Didn't see that in the headlines. What seemed to be on his mind was all the not nice things people said about him here at the convention the night before, first and foremost, very predictable. Barack Obama, let's listen.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  23. It is wild. I just like this is not helping anything. It's so silly. Threatening the former Speaker of the House on background to the Washington Post is some, what are you going to do diminish her power? You're going to go prime. She's probably not running again. You're going to go primary her in San Francisco. What are you doing?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  24. I don't want to keep talking about this because it's like it's happy, we're unified, whatever. But the reason that we have to keep talking about it is because. Some people, and I don't know, maybe it's just one or two in the whole orbit, just keep talking to our porters about how fucking pissed they are in the middle of the Democratic Convention about what Nancy Pelosi did, which was absolutely correct.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. And here's the quote. A group of Democrats, including within Biden's orbit and the Democratic National Committee, remain bitterly upset with Pelosi over her public pressure campaign to push Biden out. Some have privately pledged to find ways to diminish Pelosi's influence in the party after the November election. Bold strategy. Good luck with that.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  26. Our Pal Mindy Kaling, who did a fantastic job as MC. Quite funny. Very funny. She introduced Pelosi as Mother of Dragons. So, you know, Pelosi's speech wasn't amazing, but it didn't need to be. It didn't need to be because every single person in that hall knows what she did in this election and that she is at the absolute pinnacle of her power. That said, there was a report in the Washington Post this morning, and it was extensive in the post, but it's been everywhere. This has been all over the place, little bits and pieces.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  27. I've been thinking about this because Stephanie Cutter is in charge of the convention. She put together one of the best Democratic conventions ever in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic. And Stephanie clearly gets the timing. And I think the people they've had problems with are the speakers. Absolutely. Oh, the speakers who were like, no, you're not cutting my time or you're not cutting me from the program or you're not doing this. And again, I also think this, I think like 80 to 90 percent of this program was put together when Biden was going to be the nominee. And when Kamal Harris became the nominee, they couldn't just turn around and be like, oh, hey, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you know? And there's like interdemocraty, whatever. It shouldn't be that way, but that's the way it is. And I think they tried to do their best. But yeah, if you're like, again, tomorrow night, like even tonight, you know, like walls, we should have heard them in primetime for sure. Tomorrow night.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  28. And I saw Liam Donovan, a Republican strategist on Twitter. He was like, you know, of all the speakers. And he's like, Trump's clearly mad about the Obamas and everything. He's like, but what really probably sticks in his craw is Oprah Winfrey because Trump has known Oprah Winfrey for a long time, came of age in the Oprah era and is probably really pissed about that.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. Do you think it's just a, like, again, our age or older, right? I was wondering too. I'm like, younger than us are people like, oh yeah, Oprah, I've heard of her. She's cool. I see her come out and I'm just like, this is a huge deal. Oprah's out here. Everyone loves Oprah. She's given a speech. She's such a great speaker. She's inspiring. I don't know. What do you guys think?

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. Get away from that shit. The number of lies. Whoa, he had 70 lies. Like, yeah, no, I know he's the fucking liar. We all know that So, as Love had pointed out, the list of speakers was already very long tonight, but no one complained at the surprise speaker. Oprah Winfrey here in her hometown of Chicago. As always, she had everyone eating out of her hand. Here's a bit of what she said.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  31. Donald Trump is going to lie at this debate. He's going to lie a ton at this debate. That is not pointing out his lies is not what's going to move people, fact-checking him is not what's going to move people. And Bill Clinton told us that actually sending the message that all he cares about is himself, which has been a running theme of a lot of the convention speakers, some of the really good ones this whole week, that's going to move people.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  32. We want Daniel Delta Eat. Right. We want all the fact checkers. We want to know sea lights. But a super majority of voters believe that Donald Trump is dishonest, but he is not losing by a supermajority of voters, right? So there's like 60% of voters think he's a dishonest person, but he's still like, you know, it's a pretty close, almost tied race for president, right? Making most politicians are liars. Exactly. So they think most politicians are liars. And all the energy we expend on, but he's a liar, but we got to call out the lies. But the headline doesn't call out the lies and the stories and call out the lies. And why don't we call out the lies? And I will say that it was a Biden campaign strategy for a while and around the debate. Now, I think part of it was because Biden did so poorly at the debate that they all had to come out of the debate saying the only thing they could say is like, well, what about Donald Trump's lies? But then Biden sort of did that too. Like, going into this next debate between Kyle Harris, like...

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  33. And just to put a fine point on this, it is important to fact check Donald Trump, to acknowledge, especially for reporters and journalists, to acknowledge that he lies.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  34. Maybe it's a Jet Action. We're close. We get it, but it's Gen X and elder millennial nerds. I think he has some political talent. Boomers, Boomers certainly get that. Boomers are still around. He warmed up as he went. You forgot the boomers. Yes, yes, for sure.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  35. I know. The students and the football players and everything, it's like, oh yeah, that guy doesn't seem like a radical liberal to anyone who watched that. All right, tonight's other headliner Bill Clinton, who delivered a healthy dose of that famous Arkansas folksiness. Here's a sampling.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  36. Being mean to Tim Walls and trying to poke at him through a whole debate is just that strategy I think will fail spectacularly.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  37. I was just thinking that I'm like, if If I was JD Vance and I was his team, like, I think the only way to advise him to debate Tim Walls is to just do your own thing, talk about your own policies, talk about why their policies aren't good for people. That would be the smart thing. That's the only thing you can do. You can't do it for Trump, though. Right, you can't do that for Trump. And I think

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  38. A teleprompter. The A couple weeks ago And then his confidence and comfort in his own skin just grew and grew and grew. That is a. Very rare thing. So

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  39. He does the Ashucks thing. Like, I'm not used to this. And there was reporting that one of the things he talked about with Kamal Harris once she chose him is that he'd never.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  40. Well, and also that fits him if another speaker tonight used that imagery, it would be like, what are you doing? That sounds so cheesy, but like it fits him so perfectly, which is the whole point of why if you want to deliver a great speech at a convention or anywhere, you can't just look at other good speakers and be like, I'm going to copy that. You have to do something that is true to you, right? And like Tim Walls, you have to also have the confidence to know that you can deliver that speech and you can figure out what's what fits you best and just go for it. And Tim Wall's clearly had that confidence that what we saw in that clip when he was like, You might not know that I don't give a lot of big speeches like this. It's like, yeah, he doesn't, but he seems like he does. He does.

    2024-08-22 · Pod Save America · To the Winfrey, to the Walz (feat. Gretchen Whitmer) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  41. And the message was clear. He said right at the top, maybe like the third or fourth line, we love this country. We help our neighbors. We believe in a country where everybody belongs and everybody has a responsibility to contribute. And then he told the story, and then he told the story about why Kamala Harris will be a great president and why she'll help people and why this whole campaign is about helping people and why this country can be about everyone helping each other and lifting each other up and turning the page on all the divisiveness of the last however many years with Donald Trump in our lives, it was fantastic.

Another Night of the Convention, another night of joy and democratic unity. This one was packed with Democratic Stars. Mayor Pete, Josh Shapiro, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, and also fucking Oprah. Oprah. Surprise guest. She's so good. And the Knights headliners. We had Bill Clinton, and of course, Tim Walls. Let's start with Coach Walls. Just an absolute banger of a speech.

  44. On today's show, on tonight's show, Governor Tim Walls delivers a blockbuster convention speech here in Chicago. Donald Trump is not happy about Barack Obama and other Democrats being mean to him. An RFK Jr. reportedly plans to drop out of the race and endorse Donald Trump. This all happened while we were running around today. I barely even know what happened here.
