Starting point is 00:01:00 From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle Podcast, a place where you get news from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of our take. I am your host for today, John Law, and today we are talking about RFK Jr. and his pick for his running mate. Before we get started, just a couple of quick notes. First of all, a big, big thank you to all of our Tangle subscribers. Yesterday, we surpassed 100,000 subscribers to our newsletter. And that is a milestone we've had our eyes on for quite some time. We are all thrilled here.

Starting point is 00:01:55 Whether you've been with us from the early days when it was just Isaac writing the whole thing by himself, or if you found us this week, anything in between, thank you, thank you, thank you for being on this journey with us. We're supremely grateful to have readers as thoughtful and engaged and, yes, opinionated as you are. So here's to the Tangle community, 100,000 strong. Also, just another quick reminder, I'm going to keep pressing this all week. If you haven't yet

Starting point is 00:02:21 gotten your tickets for the Tangle Live event, there are still a few VIP tickets available. Got to get them while you can. We've got a very, very strong lineup of pundits who are going to be discussing the 2024 election with Isaac. We have Catherine Rample from the Washington Post, Camille Foster from the Fifth Column, and Josh Hammer from Newsweek. I'm telling you, it's going to be a spectacular event. Lots of thoughtful discussion, lots of good debate. If you go ahead and get those VIP tickets, you're going to have some of the best seats in the house. You're going to get some merch. You're going to get to meet Isaac and have a discussion amongst a small group of people. We're so excited and we're looking forward to seeing everyone there. All right, with all that out of the way,

Starting point is 00:03:03 let's jump into today's quick hits. First up, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan killed at least nine people and injured 963 while also causing extensive infrastructure damage. It is the strongest earthquake to hit Taiwan in 25 years. Number two, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined roughly 640 points over the first two days of April, its worst two-day point loss since March of 2023. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also dropped. Number three, Oregon Governor Tina Kotak signed into law a bill that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, rolling back a 2020 ballot measure that eliminated criminal penalties for possessions of drugs like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamines. Number four, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers vetoed a proposal to ban transgender student-athletes from competing

Starting point is 00:04:01 in divisions consistent with their gender identity. Meanwhile, voters in Wisconsin approved a constitutional amendment on Tuesday to ban private money support for elections. At number five, a coalition of civil rights and medical organizations announced they are suing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration over its failure to ban menthol cigarettes by the deadline the agency had set for itself last year. Biden, Trump and Kennedy, today independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., came to the Bay Area to launch the next stage of his campaign. At an Oakland rally, he formally announced Bay Area native Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. The announcement comes after much speculation with a list of potential running mates,

Starting point is 00:04:52 including NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Republican Senator Rand Paul. Shanahan, like Kennedy, has never run for elected office. She has contributed to his campaign and reportedly paid $4 million for a Super Bowl ad promoting his campaign. Kennedy made the announcement in her hometown of Oakland. I wanted a vice president who shared my passion for wholesome, healthy foods, chemical-free, for regenerative agriculture, for good soils. I managed to find a technologist at the forefront of AI. She has spent the last decade relying on neural networks, artificial intelligence, and cutting-edge science to identify abuses in our government.

Starting point is 00:05:44 On Tuesday, March 26th, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his running mate in his independent bid for president, Nicole Shanahan, a 38-year-old attorney from California. Kennedy's decision followed weeks of speculation about his VP shortlist, which included NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura. Shanahan leads the Bia Echo Foundation, an organization she founded to direct money toward causes like women's reproductive science, criminal justice reform, and environmental issues. She was also the founder and chief executive of Clear Access IP, a patent management firm that was sold in 2020,

Starting point is 00:06:19 as well as the ex-wife of Google founder Sergey Brin. Notably, Shanahan has an extensive history of donating to Democratic politicians and progressive caucuses, including President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign. She gave Kennedy's campaign $6,600, the maximum an individual can give to a political candidate per election cycle, when he was still running as a Democrat, and she expressed disappointment at his decision to run an independent campaign. Her support of Kennedy was renewed with a $4 million contribution to the Super PAC that aired a campaign ad boosting Kennedy during the Super Bowl in February.

Starting point is 00:06:53 As a vice presidential candidate, Shanahan is allowed to give unlimited sums to the campaign directly. At the event announcing her as his running mate, Kennedy said he chose Shanahan for her focus on increasing access to healthy foods, knowledge of technologies like AI, athletic ability, and support for revamped border security. Now I have a governing partner who will fight for you and your family, Kennedy said. I'm confident that there is no American more qualified than Nicole Shanahan to play this role. Shanahan, who has said she supports Kennedy in part due to his anti-establishment stance on issues like vaccine safety, alluded to a health crisis in America in her opening remarks,

Starting point is 00:07:29 mentioning toxic substances in our environment and electromagnetic pollution from devices like cell phones. Our children are not well, our people are not well, and our country will not be well for very much longer if we don't heed this desperate call for attention, she said. Kennedy has consistently polled in double digits in a three-way matchup with Joe Biden and Donald Trump. A Reuters Ipsos poll in March found him receiving 16% of the vote, while a Quinnipiac University poll released last week had him at 13%. Meanwhile, Kennedy's campaign is working to get him on the ballot in as many states as possible. On Monday, they said they had collected enough signatures to qualify in North Carolina, which is expected to be a key battleground state in 2024. Though the campaign claims it has enough signatures for ballot access in five states,

Starting point is 00:08:15 Kennedy is only officially qualified for the ballot in Utah. The campaign faced pressure to make a vice presidential pick so Kennedy could qualify in states that require independent candidates to nominate a vice presidential candidate before collecting signatures. The ballot access challenge has led to speculation that Kennedy could consider running as the Libertarian Party candidate, since that party will be on the ballot in all 50 states. Last week, Politico reported that Kennedy spoke with Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle about pursuing the nomination, though that was prior to naming Shanahan as his running mate. You can find our past coverage of Kennedy's campaign with a link

Starting point is 00:08:49 in today's episode description. Today, we are going to be exploring opinions about Kennedy choosing Shanahan to be his running mate and the state of his campaign, with perspectives from the right and the left, followed by the Tangle staff's take. We'll be right back after this quick commercial break. Let's start with what the right is saying. The right uniformly believes Kennedy's choice of Shanahan will hurt him among Republicans due to her progressive background. Some suggest Biden and Democrats should be concerned by the strategy Kennedy's campaign seems to be pursuing. Others say Kennedy's continued relevance is a sign of a dissatisfied populace. In the dispatch, Chris Steerwalk suggested Kennedy's choice of running mate shows the independents' growing danger to Democrats. The way forward for Kennedy,

Starting point is 00:09:45 other than the Libertarians, is trying to really make a go of winning ballot access in all 50 states. And for many states, an additional hurdle, beyond massive petition drives and onerous bureaucratic requirements, is to have a running mate, something major parties don't need to worry about for five months or so. So when Kennedy this week chose his running mate, we got our best look yet at where the presidential nephew is heading. And it sure wasn't to the right, Stierwald said. What Shanahan does have is the ability to bankroll the expensive effort to get Kennedy on the ballot. Young, rich, lefty, Californian, and Asian American, Shanahan seems very much the running mate one would pick to go after disaffected Democrats, not mad-as-hell MAGA men. But that's

Starting point is 00:10:25 a big problem for Biden, Stierwald wrote. If Kennedy isn't going to win, what might his secondary goal be? It seems increasingly likely that the lifelong Democrat and scion of the party's most famous family might be more interested in forcing change in his own team than pushing Republicans to reform in his direction. In the Washington Examiner, Elizabeth Stauffer called the pick a gift to Donald Trump. In choosing Shanahan, Kennedy settled the debate over which party would be hurt most by Kennedy's candidacy. The Democrats, Stauffer said. With his choice of the far-left Shanahan, Kennedy is likely to lose much, if not all, of his current support from conservatives and conservative-leaning independent voters who will either cast their ballots for Trump or stay home. By the same token, he will

Starting point is 00:11:09 see an increase in support from progressive voters, the same ones the Biden campaign is courting. Shanahan's tremendous wealth will also help put Kennedy's name on ballots in key battleground states, Stauffer said. With Shanahan on the ticket, Biden and Kennedy are now targeting the same voters and, unfortunately for Biden, it's a zero-sum game. Remember how well a similar situation turned out for President George H.W. Bush in 1992. In the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Victor Joachs wrote about what's fueling the rise of RFK Jr. Shanahan is extremely wealthy and helped pay for a nostalgia- invoking Super Bowl ad promoting Kennedy. She could fund the state-by-state effort it would take to get Kennedy on the ballot around

Starting point is 00:11:49 the country, Jux said. Conventional wisdom says that Kennedy's support will wane. As the election draws near, most voters tend to settle on one or two candidates with a realistic chance of winning. But there are plenty of reasons to think Kennedy will have staying power. For one, even some Democrats acknowledge President Joe Biden's age is a problem. Many of those voters wouldn't dream of voting for Donald Trump, but they may find Kennedy a palatable alternative. Another is that Kennedy is positioning himself outside the traditional right-left divide. He often sounds as if he's running to be America's doctor-in-chief, Drugs wrote. As an independent presidential candidate, his platform is bigger

Starting point is 00:12:25 than ever. Kennedy is explicitly running against that corruption. Little wonder he has attracted a loyal following. All right, that is it for what the right is saying, which brings us to what the left is saying. The left worries that Shanahan could boost Kennedy just enough to damage Biden's election performance. Some say the pick shows how wealthy candidates can distort campaigns. Others contend the decision undermines Kennedy's image as a political outsider. In the New Republic, Greg Sargent argued Shanahan's money is likely to do a whole lot of talking. This might seem like a strange choice. Shanahan has no political experience or national name

Starting point is 00:13:10 recognition. Her image as a wealthy, dilettante-ish sort has no obvious appeal to the disaffected voters that Kennedy hopes to lure from President Biden and Donald Trump, Sargent wrote. But if you want to understand this decision and why Democrats believe it poses a potential problem for them, follow the money. To get on the ballot in numerous states, Kennedy will need to fund a large operation. Shanahan has already proven willing to bankroll Kennedy's efforts. There are plausible reasons why Kennedy might fail to pose a threat to Biden. His bid for ballot access might fail. His campaign appears to be blundering on this front as evidenced by the news that it gathered a lot of access signatures in Nevada that may get invalidated because he hadn't listed a running mate on his petition as required by state law, Sargent said. But still,

Starting point is 00:13:56 Kennedy only has to get on the ballot in one or two key states to pull a relatively small percentage of voters from Biden and return Trump to the White House. For the Brennan Center, Ian VanderWalker wrote that the pick demonstrates the dangers of self-funded campaigns. Kennedy's campaign has raised far less than the 2024 frontrunners, and he may see a running mate with the ability to self-fund as necessary to keep his bid afloat, VanderWalker said. Kennedy's choice highlights the crushing pressures of fundraising in today's elections. Campaign costs have soared in the Citizens United era of unlimited donations to super PACs and dark money groups that keep their donors secret due to a boom in spending by the richest donors, making bigger and bigger donations increasingly essential to running for office.

Starting point is 00:14:40 Even though they often lose, self-funders distort politics. Their unlimited spending helps drive up the cost of campaigns, making them too much of a rich person's game and limiting the choices available to voters, Van de Walker wrote. Some have suggested that self-funding candidates couldn't be corrupted by special interests because they're too rich to bribe. But that misses the reality that wealthy candidates typically already represent a special interest, the business and industry that got them, or their parents, rich. More generally, studies show that the affluent have different policy views than most Americans.

When he inadvertently becomes a witness to a crime, Willis begins to unravel a criminal web, his family's buried history, and what it feels like to be in the spotlight.

In Bloomberg, Nia-Malika Henderson said, RFK Jr. is a royal pretending to be a commoner. Kennedy is running for president as an independent and claiming to be an outsider, but the political scion is trading on his name like any other good old boy insider. He's what the kids like to call a nepo baby. He hates the system, yet kind of is the system, drawing millions from a conservative bank heir to fund his campaign. Oh, and he named another

Starting point is 00:16:40 big donor, Nicole Shanahan, a tech millionaire or billionaire by marriage, to be his running mate slash piggy bank. Talk about buying access. Of the third-party threats, Kennedy has emerged as the most serious, enabling him to soak up all the attention and ire. Shanahan's millions will give his ballot access efforts a boost, Henderson wrote. Kennedy's name and family legacy are the entry point for most voters, but Democrats especially will aim to make him synonymous with crazy, fringe, and dangerous ideas and dampen his standing by November. And key to that should be telling voters that Kennedy and his running mate are bankrolled by millionaires and billionaires. All right, that is it for what the right and the left are saying, which brings us to our take.

Starting point is 00:17:35 Shanahan probably won't move the needle in either direction as candidate, but she could have an outsized impact on Kennedy's campaign and the entire election. Choosing three articles from each the left and the right for this story was difficult, not because of a lack of commentary, but because most of the pieces were so similar. On the right, there are six different pieces arguing that Kennedy picking Shanahan is a gift to Trump. On the left, there are six different pieces criticizing Kennedy for choosing Shanahan because she's rich. We're always inclined to be skeptical when we see this degree of shared messaging on both sides. What hidden dynamics might both sides be missing? In this case, though, it's pretty easy to see why both sides are parroting the same talking points. They're straightforwardly true. To the degree that Kennedy's vice presidential

Starting point is 00:18:15 pick has any impact on the race, choosing Shanahan will certainly help him appeal to left-leaning voters more than right-leaning ones. No surprise there. When we covered Kennedy's independent bid back in October, Isaac wrote that Kennedy is aligned with Democratic positions on most issues besides vaccines, his unconditional aversion to war, and his feelings about the mainstream media. Shanahan is in that same mold, with a long track record of supporting progressive causes and Democratic candidates. And while some of her positions, like her opposition to in vitro fertilization, will turn many progressive voters off, these stances are derived from her belief in unconventional therapies and medical research rather than traditional conservative stances

Starting point is 00:18:54 against government intervention, as Chris Stierwald noted in Under What the Right is Saying. Put differently, even her anti-establishment beliefs aren't likely to engender support among right-leaning voters in the way that Kennedy's positions on issues like COVID vaccines does. Republicans will have no problem painting her as a far-left, out-of-touch progressive to their voters. Democrats will have a much tougher time convincing disaffected Biden supporters that she represents a threat from the right, to the extent that their side makes her a target of their attacks. On the flip side,

Starting point is 00:19:25 you can take it to the bank that his pick was all about money. Kennedy's campaign is in a major financial crunch. It has been spending faster than it can fundraise, its cash reserves are shrinking, and it's been racking up millions in debt. Enter Shanahan. She's already spent $4 million on his unaffiliated campaign ad during the Super Bowl, and her vast wealth will surely be used to support Kennedy's campaign efforts to gain ballot access in all 50 states, an expensive undertaking. We should clarify that Shanahan hasn't said explicitly she'll be putting her own money into the campaign, but we're aligned with the vast majority of commentators who expect she will offer a substantial financial boost. That could be through her own wealth, or her ties to wealthy donors, or both. That's not to say

Starting point is 00:20:09 there isn't anything wrong with Kennedy choosing Shanahan for her money. It's part of the calculus politicians make all the time, especially those waging a long-shot campaign. In this case, Kennedy's most acute problem is a lack of cash needed to fund ballot access initiatives, which the campaign estimates will cost $15 million. Shanahan can help fill that need while making him, at least marginally, more competitive with progressive voters and providing a youthful face for his campaign. To that end, picking Shanahan was a smart decision. This probably won't change much about Kennedy's chances in 2024, but he could still play a huge role in tipping the election toward Biden or Trump. His poll numbers are trending downward since he got

Starting point is 00:20:49 in the race, but now they're holding steady around 9 or 10 percent in a three-way matchup. If those numbers persist through the election, he'll be a modern-day Ross Perot in more ways than one, and will almost certainly get the credit, or blame, for handing the election to the winning candidate. And Shanahan's money could certainly help keep him afloat until then. Whether that's enough to make him a truly impactful third-party candidate come November is an entirely different question. But expect to see both the Trump and Biden camps start to take him a lot more seriously, and put both Kennedy and Shanahan in their crosshairs the longer he's able to stay in the race. crosshairs, the longer he's able to stay in the race. We'll be right back after this quick break.

Starting point is 00:21:40 All right, that is it for our take, which brings us to Your Questions Answered. This one comes from Ron in Marshfield, Massachusetts. His question is, what are the pros and cons of a flat tax? So this is Isaac's response to this question. I don't usually do this, but I'm going to take a moment to briefly respond to some comments to my answer to a reader question last week about why we should tax the rich, because we got a lot of them. First, the pros of a flat tax. It's the simplest tax proposal to understand. Cons? Everything else. For those unacquainted, a flat tax means that everyone pays the same tax rate regardless of income.

Starting point is 00:22:12 There are a number of reasons why I don't think a flat tax is a good idea, but the main one is that it wouldn't be actually any more fair than the system we have now. I said in my response that every dollar past a certain point gives you diminishing returns, but I'll describe what I meant a little more clearly. Every person requires roughly the same amount to just get by, often called the living wage. In Pennsylvania, for a single person with no children, that's about $46,000 a year. Every dollar a person makes over that amount is by definition less essential and should be taxed progressively a bit more. So, a progressive tax. Put another way, that's why every dollar of income below the highest bracket threshold of $609,350 should be taxed progressively less.

Starting point is 00:22:59 Everyone is still getting the same level of taxation on every dollar they make within each tax bracket, so it's still eminently fair to me. Now, a few responses to readers. Tom from La Mesa, California wrote, The more money a person earns past what they need or want to survive is most likely invested, which produces jobs. Okay, so likely invested and may produce jobs. Alternatively, the government can use that money in a way that everyone gets to vote on. I prefer that, and not because I trust government efficiency.

Starting point is 00:23:31 I've said before that I support smaller government and lower tax levels in general, but I do think private investments from the rich stimulate the economy. I also think that those high-income dollars are the best source for public investment, and I don't think taking the funds available for private investments down from 63 cents to 60 cents for every dollar of income over $600,000 a year will ruin private investment. Something I said but cut from my answer was that people who create jobs or own businesses benefit more from public infrastructure that supports those businesses, like roads for commerce and utility services for logistical support. So taking a greater share from the people who benefit the most also makes sense.

Starting point is 00:24:10 Rich from St. Simmons Island, Georgia said, Why did you fall for the big lie about rich people paying 42% of taxes? Rich people pay 42% of income taxes because they make huge amounts of income. Okay, it's a little hard to call this a big lie than basically agree with it. Yes, I should have specified income tax, but I think that was clearly implied. The article I linked to supported that,

Starting point is 00:24:34 and you can find that link in today's episode description. Though, to be fair to Rich here, he did go on to say the rich pay proportionally less through sales of their income and wealth to property and sales tax, which are harder to aggregate because they're collected at the state and local levels. Lastly, to the several people who wrote in to push back on the Laffer curve, saying that it provided the foundation for trickle-down economics and that

Starting point is 00:24:55 that theory hasn't worked, I'll reply that you can throw out trickle-down economics without abandoning the basic concept behind the Laffer curve. It seems self-evident to me that taxation past a certain point is increasingly counterproductive. Thanks everyone for writing in to disagree or challenge my thinking. Next up is our under-the-radar story. Google is deleting the private browsing history of millions of people who believe they were searching the web privately using the company's Chrome internet browser. A settlement filed in federal court this week revealed that while Google told users of Chrome's incognito mode that they would be browsing privately when the option was turned on, the company was still collecting information from user searches with that feature turned on. That information was then

Starting point is 00:25:42 packaged with users browsing history outside of incognito mode to inform the creation of personalized ads. While Google claims the data was never associated with an individual and was never used for any form of personalization and won't be making any payments as part of the proposed settlement, the news comes as Google simultaneously defends itself

NPR has this story and there's a link in today's episode description. All right, next up is our numbers section. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s polling average in the three-way race with Donald Trump and Joe Biden is 12.3%, according to Real Clear Polling. The percentage of Americans who say they have a favorable opinion of Kennedy is 39.8%, according to the latest polling average from FiveThirtyEight. The percentage of Americans who say they have an unfavorable opinion of

Starting point is 00:26:41 Kennedy is 36.5%. The amount Nicole Shanahan contributed to Biden's Joint Fundraising Committee, the Biden Victory Fund, in 2020 was $25,000. The amount Shanahan contributed to Pete Buttigieg's presidential campaign in 2019 was $2,800. The amount Shanahan contributed to Marianne Williamson's presidential campaign in 2019 was $2,800. The amount raised by a super PAC supporting Kennedy's campaign following the announcement of Shanahan as his running mate last Tuesday is $2.1 million. All right, and last but not least, our Have a Nice Day story. Recent research from the Emotional Science Lab at Texas A&M shows how experiencing emotions that are often thought of negatively, like anxiety, anger, or sadness, can be very healthy. Rather than an outcome to avoid, going through these feelings can actually help us become more resilient.

Starting point is 00:27:37 Sadness can help you recover from a trial, anger can help you prepare for one, and anxiety can get you primed to experience danger. Even boredom can be useful to help jolt you out of a rut. Pleasant or not, your emotions can help guide you toward better outcomes, said Heather Lynch, professor at Texas A&M. Maybe understanding how they better prepare you to handle various situations will help you feel better about feeling bad.
