“Own Ford kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think he's just going to be a bridge to whoever his VP is. He'll be very bipartisan in his approach. I think he'll have Republicans in his cabinet. I think he'll try to bring Republicans and Democrats in a very overt way together because I think Biden is, and I've been told this, he's extremely concerned with how divided this country is. Whoever replaces Trump, Job one is going to be to try to at least look like we're trying to do something about the divide. I think Biden wants, I've heard, that Joe Biden wants that to be his legacy, that he began us down a road of trying to heal the divide. I think that's what he'll do.”

“If he is, Kara, and he's said it, he will be a bridge. He will tell the American people, this is craziness, this isn't who we are. I'm going to let you all breathe for four years. We're just going to breathe. We're going to come together and we're going to pause and we're going to try to.”

“Number one, privately and publicly as they want, I think they should even people, leaders in the tech community politically, I think have to do whatever they can do to make sure Trump isn't re-elected. Because, Kare, I go back to something you said about 40 minutes ago. I want to get back to a place where you and I are doing a podcast now and we're talking about issues and we're respectfully arguing about issues. Like what should the government do, if anything, about Facebook? We're not going to get into any of that stuff as long as this guy's in the White House. There will be no issued discussion, no progress on any issues. So like me, who's generally pretty libertarian, we all got to just suck it up and do what we have to do to make sure Trump loses. Leaders in the tech community who want to see government progress on some of these issues have to lead with that, have to do what they can to make sure that”

“Yeah, and it reminds people of, it would remind people of what we are and what we were before the pandemic, and it wouldn't get people thinking about him every single day. When people don't think about him, Kara, his numbers have always gone up these last three and a half years. It's amazing.”

“I wouldn't do any daily briefings. I would not at all go out and talk. I would not tweet. I would not talk at these daily briefings. I'd put Fauci and Burks out there. I'd put the experts and the scientists out there. And I would do whatever I can to rally smart people to figure out how economically we're going to turn around. But I do the same thing with them. I'd have a daily briefing every day with the scientists and the experts on the pandemic, and I'd have a daily briefing every day with the best and smartest people on how America recovers economically. And I wouldn't be part of either one of those briefings. And I put the experts out there. To talk about how we are great and we can turn this thing around.”

“No, no, because he kept stepped on it every week. He'd step on that message. It's just the economy. I mean, when you think about it historically, pre-pandemic on an economy like this, when things are generally going really well, his numbers were horrible. He's the least popular. This is pre-pandemic. He was the least popular president in modern times with one of the greatest economies. Now, why is that? That's because of him. People don't like him. But he can't help himself. So he has to make every day about him. Kara, you know this. People who work closely with him, they know what I'm talking about right now. If he didn't make every day about him, he'd be fine.”

“Yeah, if the election is about anything but Trump, Trump has a shot to win. If the election is about Trump, Trump loses. But he can't be that way, Kara. So I'm asking Donald Trump not to be Donald Trump. If Donald Trump wasn't Donald Trump, he'd be winning in a landslide, I think, in November, but he can't help himself”

Because if the...”

“It's Trump thinking that this is how he's going to win in 2018. His base, his followers, his cult, they fucking love what he does every night at these daily briefings. They love, love, love. So he's talking to them, but all the polling and all the data shows, it's turning off most people. I mean, he's losing his support among the elderly in America. I mean, seniors, these briefings are turning seniors off of him. But Donald Trump believes Kara, and this is what And he won in 16, and he believes that he can win by just appealing to his cult and getting them so off the wall fired up that they'll run through anything to vote for him. That's what these briefings are for him.”

“How do you assess his nightly ritual, these scream fests where he yells at the media, which seems to not be working quite as well anymore? I don't think people care. Well, the media gets nervous about it, but ultimately it seems like it's sort of going to the same place to try to hit the same thing. And I think people are bored by his show.”

“I think it's done two things that are different. It's woken up everybody to how dishonest and incompetent he is. And secondly, it's scaring people. All of the other shit that Trump did and said didn't really hit home and scare the average voter out there in the gut. We're looking at a great depression kind of a thing. We're looking at everybody knows somebody who's dying. 56,000 people dead right now. People are afraid. And the last thing you want when you're scared to death is somebody chaotic and like off the wall in the White House. So I think it's going to make the average voter again say, I'm scared to death. I want to be able to breathe. I want to be able to know that we're doing something right Trump's a chaos kind of guy in the middle of a pandemic that doesn't play”

“Does these whatever there's circuses essentially? Most people are telling him not to do what he keeps doing it. And of course, trusts himself because I know because I was right before. What do you imagine it's doing? Because it's such a serious topic. You think people are like, oh, that's enough. It's funny when it's attacking the media or it's funny when it's on something else. But this is, even though the Russia thing was very serious, even though all kinds of things he said were very serious issues around women, issues around everything. But what is the difference here that we're seeing him a lot or what?”

“Badly, which was interesting, which was, and even with all of that, even with everything Trump had going for him and as bad a candidate as Hillary was, to your point, she barely lost 70,000 votes in three states, and Hillary made a mistake. Hillary should have picked a VP who would excite people. But she thought she had it in the bag.”

“He does have a role to play an important role, I would argue, and a really important role to solidify his legacy. It's really paramount that Bernie does everything he can do to help get Biden elected. What's interesting, Kara, is we don't like how the hell did Trump win in 16? I think a lot of Democrats stayed home because Hillary didn't excite people. And a lot of people didn't think a goof like Trump would win. We've had three and a half years now, this guy in the White House. So I'm bullish on Trump losing. I think the resistance...”

“And I think if she did it, and she's fantastic, she could sort of be that, remember when Bob Dole, it didn't quite work, but Bob Dole was the attack dog kind of thing. And she's so good at it. She's so smooth and so articulate about those things. What about Bernie Sanders' role here? Does he have a role to play, given how popular he was with his constituency and getting those Bernie Bros not to get out and vote for whoever the candidate is?”

“By far. Really doing it with Really good at what she does. She'd excite the bass. I'd say outside of those two, if you're not going to go Kamala Harris, and I think it would be good to go a black female, then I would go Elizabeth Warren.

“When she announced I was disappointed in Kamala Harris because I think on paper she's a dynamite candidate and she ran a campaign and I just I wish I could have put my arms around her and said who are you and what do you believe because she never articulated that I think on paper she's dynamite I think he ought to pick a black woman because I think black women Rose Joe Biden from the dead in South Carolina I think it would be a profound thing to say. I also think Elizabeth Warren would be a really strong dick. I think you and I might have talked about this when I saw you in LA a couple months ago. She's the best candidate on the Democrat side.”

“That alone, I think, should get Biden elected. I mean, Carol, we forget in you and I may not be in the same team politically, though we probably are a little bit more than we think. But look, since Trump got elected, Republicans have gotten their butts whooped in every single election. Every special election Democrat vote has been through the roof. The 2018 midterms that Democrat turnout was through the roof. Resistance to Trump is enough to win. Period. I think he should pick a vice president who will excite people because Joe Biden can't serve more than one term. So he better pick somebody who excites the Democratic”

And maybe he ought to sit in his basement for the next seven months. And this is what I would say when I primaried Trump and I would tell every Democrat that it's not about health care. It's not about immigration. It's not about climate change. 2020 is about one question. Do you want four more years of this guy? Period. That's it.”

“Perhaps not. She does not like to at least give the impression of enjoying and mixing it up with the riffraff, the folks.

“There's huge pressure, Kara, from Trump and his people in the party for Don Jr. to be the nominee in 2024, more so than Ivanka. That just scares the shit out of somebody like me. But that's real. And if Trump wins in 2020, look for Junior in 2024, battling with Nikki Halene, Ted Cruz. If Trump just loses by a little bit, he'll want nothing more than to hand it off to junior or Ivanka, which is why people like Bill Crystal and Conway and me believe Trump's got to get fucking pummeled. Trumpism has to lose by a lot. Otherwise, you may be looking at junior in 24.”

“That's a great question, Kara, because you're right. The Democrats are going through their thing, but their thing is primarily about issues and ideas. The Republican thing right now is, again, about a man worshiping a man versus ideas. And I think it's important to understand what led to Trump on the Republican side. I did a lot of apologizing that some of the angry Tea Party rhetoric led to Trump. But that's not the only thing that led to Trump. And out of touch, Republican Party establishment led to Trump. All of these consultants, I would tell Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt and a lot of these guys, you all led to Trump because you had no clue how angry Republican voters were out there. The Republican Party Kera ignored their base voters for so long, which made it so possible for a demagogue-like Trump to come along and scoop them up. So the Republican Party...”

She's a woman and prior to her paying homage to Trump like she has, she had a lot of people like you and me and others who would say, well, that's kind of a reasonable Republican. She's banking on the fact that she can still keep that, but she wants to be kind of like the point person for all of these Trump followers. I don't think you can be both.

And Nikki Haley and Cruz and all these people who want to be president in 2024, they're still going to have to pay homage to Trump and Trumpism. And that's why, again, I think it's really important to stand against what Trumpism is now. You'll get people like Romney and Kasich who will publicly if Trump loses.

“Yeah, it is a Trump party, and it's become a cult because it's not really a party of ideas. It's about obeyance to this one man. I think the Republican Party's done, Kara. I think it's done. I don't think win or lose with whatever happens to Trump in November, I think the party is done. If Donald Trump wins, which is possible, then I think very quickly you will see a third party begin. If Donald Trump loses, I think you're going to see the same thing. It's just going to take longer because there are plenty of conservatives like me who believe in decency and tolerance, but we believe in basic conservative principles. The party under Trump is not tolerant. It's not nice. It's not open. It's not welcoming. But that's a big part of the party now. It's not going away.”
