Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.

But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second the th.. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the the th. th. th. thi-S. the, the, thi-S. thi-S. thea-Sepepea-Sepe-Sepnipe, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th.

Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Facebook has their name, guys. This is a good day. Facebook has their new name. Yeah, they're now going to be called meta, meta, is it? Meta Meta. META, meta. And like, I didn't think it like it would be possible to pick an even more evil-sounding name. Because like Facebook didn't sound evil. The company was just doing evil things, it was making us hate each other, right? It's like yeah we're just going to switch

something a little more family-friendly. Meta. It feels like every time Zuckerberg says that someone the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, METa, METa, METa, METa, METa, META. META, METa, META. META. M, M, M, M, METa, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, METa, META. META. META. META. META.E, META.E, META.E, META.E, META.E, META.E, META.E, META. like, yeah, we're just gonna switch to something a little more family friendly. META. It feels like every time Zuckerberg says that someone behind him is gonna be like, tun, tun, da, da, d'an, da, d'a'a. So, like, I still don't understand why they thought the name was the thing. Why does Facebook think the name? Nobody cares about the name Facebook.

That's not a problem. Facebook, we don't care. Now you change the name. That has nothing to do with all of your problems. You're making the whole world hate each other, and then you're changing your name. That's the thing you're changing. You know what I mean? Little kids are hating themselves because of Instagram. You're changing your name. Imagine if Hitler came out in like the middle of the war. He was like, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, I've heard your feedback and I've gotten your messages and I understand what I'm doing is not great and so from now on, Garyolf no more from now on Gary when I'm shaving

the mustache yeah okay to Lou I'm off to France you know to me no of us would be like yeah that solved it it would be funny though if Gary was invading that just doesn't you know Hitler sounds evil as well Hitler it really does Hitler Adolf Hitler sounds. Gary's coming. You just be like, you know? Did he forget his umbrella? What's... Coming to you from the heart of Times Square in New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Shire, ears edition. Tonight, the Democrats might be doing something. Squid game, dunks on the bra and Kristen Saltis Anderson. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. And joining me for today's headlines is our very own, Dessie Lydic. What's going on, Dessie? Hey! How you doing? So good to see you again. Good to see you. I'm good. I'm good. Everything's good. I'm just, you know, getting ready for the holiday. Halloween. Yeah, yeah. I'm just kind of, I don't know. I'm like dreading it this year, you know? I just feel like there they're going to be so many people dressed up as Karen. C Karen tha thas. thian. the c like th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th th th the th th. th th th th th thi. th th th thr-I th th th thrann. thi thr-I's th th th th th th thin's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the's the. theeeeeeeea. to to theeeeea. to to to theeeea. to theeea. thea' I see one Karen costume, I'm calling the cops. Fee around and find out.

Where's my camera? Fee around and find out. Huh. Anyway, do you celebrate Halloween? Um, no, no. Where I'm from, generally, like, witches and go to be thrown. to be to', let's go with that. Let's go with your way. Let's just be done with it. Let's be done with Halloween.

Okay. Anyway, I'm super happy to be here. Yeah, no, I'm glad to have you here. And let's do it. Let's kick things off with the big news in Congress. The only place with more infighting. After months of whittling down the bill to satisfy Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema, today, President Biden finally revealed what's left of his big social policy bill. And a lot of what was originally there is now gone.

Like, free community college is out. And so is paid family and medical leave, which means America will remain the only nation in the world when women try to give birth during their lunch break. USA! USA! U.S. U.S. Oh, and Medicare won't cover the costs of dental or vision care for seniors, but it will cover

hearing, which makes sense. You know, Biden made sure that that stayed in. I mean, when you've got a president who whispers as much as he does, you have to their, the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th....... And, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, thi. And, thi. And, thi. thi. thi. thr. toeean, toooooooooooooooooooooooomu. t ttttttttta, ta, thi sure that people can at least hear him. Plus, if you have hearing, you don't need vision. You know, people can be like, hey, look out, duck! And you'll be fine. But there's still a lot left in the bill that Democrats want, things like universal pre-K, an extension of the child tax credit, and half a trillion dollars to fight climate change. And today, President Biden went on TV to tell America why it needs this bill.

And man, he did not sugarcoat the situation. 30 years ago, we ranked number seven among the advanced economies in the world as a share of women working. You know we are today? We used to lead the world in educational achievement. Now the organization for economic cooperation and development ranks America 35th. Our infrastructure used to be rated the best in the world. Today, we ranked 13th in the world.

We can't be competitive in the 21st century global economy if you can continue this slide. Damn, Joe Biden is scolding the 21st century global economy if he continued this slide. Damn, Joe Biden is scolding the nation. But I do understand what Biden is saying. America in the past used to be great, and it should be made to be that way again. Huh, someone should put that on a hat. And the sad thing, the sad thing is that Biden wanted a much bigger bill to address all these problems, but the bill that he's trying to sell now is much smaller than that. You know, it's like a doctor telling you, in order to cure your cancer,

I want to cut the entire tumor out. And then when you wake up from surgery, he's like, so all I could do was rub a little vix on it, and I hope that helps. Dr. Manchin wouldn't let me use the scalpel. Yeah. Oh and by the way, who ranks infrastructure? Like I've always wondered this. Because you realize there's a world ranking of countries by infrastructure, but who is that person? Who ranks? Is this like a guy who goes from country to country rating bridges? This is the guy who's running around and he's like, that bridge is trash! Yo, I'd f-fee that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge that bridge is that bridge that bridge that bridge is great. Now that bridge is really great. Yo, I'd f-f-feeck that bridge. Shee.

I've always kind of been attracted to a covered bridge, you know? It's like, what are you hiding under there, Mr. Bridge? It's like so much mystery. You thought of that, right? No, I've genuinely have never thought of athat, right? No, I genuinely have never thought. Don't tell me you haven't thought of that. I've never thought of a bridge being sexy, ever. One time? Never.

A little bit. Maybe the Brooklyn Bridge. Yeah, right? I'd fiss that bridge, too. I said attractive, and you trying to get paid to leave my family. It's really messed up. Especially now, like this whole holiday season, it's so stressful. Have you ever tried to shop for a Halloween costume for your kid?

It's like a war zone in those stores. I had a lady pry a costume right out of my hands just because it was still on her kid. Very competitive situation. Look, I gotta create a magical holiday for my kid, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do. It's a really painful sad story. Well, I don't know why you had to make it so sad. I apologize, it was perfectly appropriate the way I said it. Yeah, I have a tendency to bring things down. All right, well, this will bring us up. to our to our to our to our to our to our to our to our to our to our to our to our to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the thi the way I said it. Yeah, I have a tendency to bring things down. All right, well, this will bring us up. Let's move on to our next story.

It's about gender. You know, how you know what section of a clothing store to look around in before you buy it later online. More and more people are accepting that gender is fluid and that people can have different gender identities aside from male and female. There are gender neutral pronouns, gender neutral bathrooms, gender neutral gender neutral gender reveal parties, which is the most progressive way to waste your friends' time. And now, gender neutrality is coming to your most important government documents.

A milestone in recognizing the rights of people who do not identify as male or female. The U.S. Department of State has issued its first ever gender neutral passport using the letter X in place of M or F to indicate gender identity. The State Department also announced there will no longer be a requirement to provide medical certification of a person's gender if it does not match the one listed on other identification documents. They say they plan to offer the gender-neutral passports more broadly next year. Okay, no. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry people. This is unfair. This is unfair. This is unfair.

Why do I have to be stuck with a boring-ass letter like M when other people can get X now? Like X is my father coolest letter. X-men, X-rated movies? Malcolm X, the X Factor, it means there's something special about you. But the M factor, who sounds like the North Korean Translation of the Matrix, that's translated back into English. I mean, for real though, it's great, it's great for people who are gender neutral, but like, I don't even understand why gender needs to be listed on passports in the first place. You're letting, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thathea, I, I, I's, I'm, I'm, that, I's, I's, that, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, the, the, is, the, the, is, is, is, the, the, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thr. thi. th. thi. th. that, that, the that, the the that, is, is, is, is, is, is, is to be listed on passports in the first place. You're living a person into a country, not a nightclub. The customs dude is not going to be stopping you at the border like, hold up, hold up, thuu.

It's a real sausage fest in there right now. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I mean a few ladies to come on. Come on in, come on, manthe gender on a passport helps you confirm a person's identity. Let me tell you something. Passports are already terrible at confirming somebody's identity. Because passports last for 10 years. No one looks the same in their photos after 10 years. I mean, black people do, but not like the rest of you.

You all age like bananas. And hey, I'm glad they're updating anything on the passport. Like, I mean, it's the 21st the 21st the 21st, I the the the the the the their their their their their their the passport. Like, I mean, it's the 21st century. I can pay for stuff by waving my phone over a chip. But when I travel, I'm still gonna carry around a little book that they make me put a stamp in. I feel like I should be boarding a steamship to my vacation. It's an odd-newish journey, but a better life awaits us in Cancun. It's gonna be really hard for us.

It's a long journey flying on United Airlines. But my father took this trip and he never made it. And this could be a new life for us in a new place. There has unlimited margaritas. It's ridiculous. Why they still use the pasta? It's a good accent. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's very very very. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

It's ridiculous. I know why they still use the passport. It's a good accent. That's really good.

Thank you, very much. I think in a previous life I was a British person who was leaving to come to America. I believe that. Yeah, I believe that. That's like my vibe, you know. the passport, I mean, you know, I'm thrown. the passport. the passport. my passport. I love it. Sometimes when I want to feel fancy, I just like taking my passport to places that I know are gonna card me. Yeah, it really, it really-

Like your actual, wait, wait, wait, wait, your actual passport, you go around with it? Yeah, just, you know, like when I want to feel a little extra fancy about something. Wow. Yeah, it really makes Buffalo wild, I'm tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thuu, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th. th. th, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. to ta. ta. ta, ta, thi, thi up there in four hours. Not from the alcohol, from the food. I once had a trick-or-treater throw up in my house. And this is why I'm not passing out candy this year. I'm just going to take a basket and fill it up with everything that I want to get rid of in my house.

Old batteries, Clamshell packaging, chargers, those tiny little hangers that come with socks, just get rid of all of it. It's like a two-fer because then word gets out and then the kids don't show up and you can finally get a good night's sleep and also you get to clean out your apartment. The joy of Halloween is like the treat, no? God, you have so much to learn Trevor. Huh? I mean, it's an effective system. I've never thought of using children to clean out my apartment that way.

Yeah, it's very effective. Which trick or treater threw up in your apartment? Like, who were they? Legally, I'm not allowed to say. It might be a relative. Mom. You live an interesting life, Desilatic. Thank you. All right, well, now that we all have our passports, let's head to the airport for our next story.

And if you've ever thought that you were stuck at the airport for a long time, you have got nothing on this guy. He was arrested after living in Chicago's O'Hare Airport for three months. Yeah, he was just crashing in the boarding area until police finally noticed something was wrong. And honestly, I think we give the TSA a hard time for racial profiling, but I have to applaud them this time. This guy was hanging around the airport for three months and the TSA was like, whoa, let's not jump to any conclusions.

Good for them. And that was the right call too, because now, a judge has ruled that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that break any laws, and also, he had a pretty good reason for not wanting to board his plane. The man was supposed to fly home from Los Angeles to India, but he says because of COVID, he was too scared to fly internationally. A judge has now acquitted him of felony trespassing. Yeah, the dude slept in an airport for three months because he was that scared of getting COVID on a plane. Which sounds, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thuui thui thui, thui, thui, thui, thui, thui, thui, thus thus. tho-a tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho- he was that scared of getting COVID on a plane. Which sounds ridiculous now, but guys, you remember what it was like back in 2020, right?

We all went a little overboard back in the day. Like when COVID was still new, everyone was panicking. I mean, for a few months, I was so scared of COVID. I was even washing my hands. The only thing I don't understand is how he was able to afford living in the airport for three months. Have you seen airport prices? Like a flaccid turkey wrap costs 20 bucks. For what this guy probably spends on food, he could have just bought his own private jets. I will say though, this story could have only happened

at a nice airport like O'Hare. Yeah, if this guy had been at LaGuardia 20 minutes in, the plane, he take my chances with the virus. I'll take my chances with the virus. Have you ever been stuck in an airport? Oh my god, I spent way too much time in an airport. I know, right? I feel like I'm constantly in airports. It's kind of like that guy's living

in that Tom Hthe movie you want to live in because you definitely don't want to be like stranded on an island or fighting in World War II, you know, or that movie Philadelphia where he had to live in Philadelphia. It's tragic. No one should have to go through that. No one. I think I'm going to do what this guy did. And I'm just going to live in an airport for the entire holiday season. Just avoid the whole mischief night thing, you know, like toilet papering houses, egging windows.

I have to do that to all the kids' houses in the neighborhood. It's exhausting. You do that's? Yeah. Yeah, it's like a preemptive strike. But it's okay, I do my own house too, so that way they don't know that I'm the one doing it. Well, I mean, at least you're being considerate. Right? Yeah.

Yeah. Big picture. Yeah. Well, thank you so much for joining me, Desi and have a happy Halloween. Yeah, I hope you enjoy it.. And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, that. th, that. th, that. that. that. that. that. that, that. that, that that that that that that that that that that that's thi, thi, thi, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. that's thi. thi me, Desi, and have a happy Halloween.

Yeah, fuck, I gotta go. That's just Times Square. Desi, Desi, they don't arrest white women. Oh, man, she didn't need to run.

It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Show. It has been a big week in sports. And so to catch you up on what's going on, we turn now to Ronnie Chang and Roywood

Jr. in another episode of I apologize for talking while you were talking. What's up sports nuts? I'm Roywood junior. Stepping in for Michael Costa is Ronnie. Ronnie, the World Series is here. Who you got winning? Well, I'm going for the New York Mets all the way, Roy. Woo! Hey, the Mets, they're not even in the series. It's Atlanta Houston. Well, what can I say? I love an underdog story, baby. Well, the world. W, the world. W, the world. W, the world. W, the world. W, the world. W, the world. W, the world. W, the world. What's. What's. What's. What's.

Woo! Hey, the Mets, they're not even in the series. It's Atlanta Houston. Well, what can I say? I love an underdog story, baby. Fair enough, good luck to the Mets. But while baseball is ending, basketball is just getting started. And no one is more pumped up than Nick's the Knicks are fucking here baby! Yeah DeBlazio, we had Cuomo, it was rough shit, but we have the Knicks! We are the best team in the NBA.

We are winning the NBA finals this year. Put your women to tue in the bed, that nigger boxies coming in tack. Holy shit, Roy. The only other time you see New York is this excited is when a relative of a rank control control control control Yeah, pretty much, man. These fans got to relax. It's way too early, man. This is like riding the Titanic for 10 minutes and being like, ooh, this is a good-ass boat ride. Let's throw away the life jackets.

No, see, what you got to understand is how starv New York is for a winning team. OK. I mean, I don't even need to say it. Everyone knows they suck. You call that as Sicilian Defense, Gregor? Well, look, don't forget about the Brooklyn Nets running. Brooklyn Nets. New York's real team. Yeah, they could go all the way. Could go all the way. And they also, much like the Knicks, have some insane fans.

Chaos. last night as anti-vax protesters breached the barricades ahead of the Nets home opener. So, Nets guard Kairi Irving not playing because he is refusing to be vaccinated for COVID-19 and defying the city's mandate. Arena staff and police got the crowd under control quickly and the game went on as scheduled. Damn, I've never seen fans try to storm an arena before. I mean, were they there to support Kyrie Irving or hang my pants? I think they probably just wanted to get inside and see what happens. But props to the arena staff, Ronnie, controlling a crowd like that is not easy.

You got to fend them off with the COVID vaccine. You got to pick up personal plea here to Kyrie. Come on, Kyrie. Is this what you really want? A huge crowd of loyal fans chanting your name, willing to kill for you? Actually, but it sounds pretty good. That's not a bad deal. Yeah, okay, actually I can see how you could see that way. In fact, you know, never mind, Kyri, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll see how you could see it that way. In fact, you know, never mind, Kyrie. I'll get back to you on that later. Speaking of violence, hey, have you seen Squeak Game, Roy?

Yes, and no. I've watched it in its original Korean version with no subtitle, so I did not understand what was going on. Okay, well, LeBron James has some thoughts about it. the thanks, Lebron, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, to toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe, toe, toe. toe, toe, toe, toe, to. toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the toe. the toe. the toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. causing quite the controversy. A superstar NBA player may have just set off a war words with the creator of Squid Games. I'm talking about LeBron James here. James was caught on camera talking about Squid games with fellow Laker Anthony Davis saying that he hated the ending of the season. Yep, I did finish.

You finished? You watch it? You done? Yeah, I didn't like to end enough. Now the hit show's creator is clapping. the the the the the the the the the the the the game. You. You. You. You. You.

Now the hit show's creator is clapping back. In an interview with The Guardian, the creator jokingly responded to James' criticism. He said, well, have you seen Space Jam too? Oh, I love this, Roy. NBA rivalries were getting so stale. It's time NBA players start beefing with people in other fields. Next, I want to see Russell Westbrook talks shit about the new West Anderson movie. Look, I don't want to hear these guys exchanging words. I don't like it.

I want them to settle this shit squid game style. Each of them gets 10 marbles and the loser faces the ultimate punishment. That's right, watching Space Jam 2. Why does everybody keep shitting on Space Jam 2? Have you seen it? It was great, yes, I saw it. I watched it in the original Korean version. I loved it. Okay, that explains a lot. Why are you watching everything in Korean?

Because I lost my Roku remote. I can't change the language back on my TV. It is a small-ass remote.

It appears the days of players contorting their bodies to draw fouls may finally be taking a hit, if you will. Due to a rule change, officials are no longer blowing the whistle on, quote, abnormal non-basketball moves, made with the intent to draw fouls. Whatever you think of the new rules, they're making an impact across the NBA. This season teams are averaging 19.5 free-throw attempts per game, which would be the lowest in any season in NBA history.

I think we can all agree that this is a great change for the NBA. Yes, man. I want NBA basketball to get back to the old school ways, man. Tough defense. Fewer whistles. Yeah, tiny short shorts that barely hide the players junk. Coaches straight up smoking a cigar on the sidelines. Yeah, yeah, a team of all white dudes who get paid like 40 bucks a year and think dunking is unsportsmanlike.

That's too far back, but I do say, I do say, Ronnie, I kind of miss free throws. I do, I miss the free throws, man. They give me a chance to grab a drink, take a break in the bathroom and get a quick Korean lesson in on dual-lingo. What? No, no, no, no, free thrope suck, man. You shouldn't get a point just because you do this. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, you get a point now. Yes, that's a foul. That's a foul. That's a foul?

Was that? Oh, my hair. Is this a foul? Is this a foul? Is this a foul? I got your flow right here. Stop playing, man. Wait, you know how to use those? Of course I do. Yeah.

Yeah. Stop. That's a foul. That's a foul. That's a foul. That's a foul. That's a foul. That's a foul. That's a foul. Foul. Foul. I'm sorry. You were right about the foul shots. You were right. No, no, I'm sorry, man. I stole your Roku more than our pressure. No. Not anymore. Back to you value your role cool more than our friendship. No, not anymore. Back to you, Trevor.

It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at, that's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News,

listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is Republican pollster and author of the selfie vote. Kristen Saltis Anderson. She's here to talk about young voters, the polarization in America, and the future of the Republican Party. Kristen, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me, Trevor. This is exciting. I think you are the first Republican guest I've had in, wow, six, seven months? Do I get a merit badge for bravery? You should. You can take anything you want from the studio and you can take it with you. But your position is really interesting because you're not just a Republican but you're a Republican pollster. As somebody who's constantly asking the questions, I'd love to get into your mind into what's happening in today's America. So let's start because you because you specialize in this I'd love to talk about the Republican Party. You've got the Republicans. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republicans. the Republicans. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. to. to. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. to. to. the Republican. the. the Republican. the Republican. the. the. the. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the Republican. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.. the..., John Bainish kind of like old school vibe, and then you've got Trump Republicans. That's what it feels like to me. And it seems like it's gotten to the point where even somebody like Mitch McConnell is seen as a rhino. And I'd love to know, is that what's happening in the Republican Party or is it even more complicated than that? Well, the Republican Party is pretty split between people who think of themselves as Republicans first,

and people who think of themselves first and foremost as Trump supporters. They're at the party, but they're mostly there because of Donald Trump. They're less interested in the GOP label. You used to see, even before Trump came on the scene, if you asked people, well, do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of the Republican party? There were a lot of Republicans who would say they had an unfavorable view of the party, because they viewed their own party leaders as being too weak, too willing to accommodate Democrats, etc. And that's part of why Donald Trump was able to come out of nowhere, surprise everybody

and win the Republican nomination in 2016. And that kind of stuck, even today, today, I ask Republican voters, what are the attributes they're looking for in a candidate? Having a personality like Donald Trump is actually toward the bottom of the list, but being willing to fight like Donald Trump, take the fight to the Democrats, that is actually toward the top of the list of what Republicans are looking for. And it's interesting because I've seen a lot of Democratic voters complaining that they don't feel like their leadership fights enough to get what they want. Democrats may be a decade behind where Republicans were, that there's going to be a fight within the Democratic Party for does our party need to be focused on accommodating moderates,

broadening our tent, or do you need to take power when you have it and use it to accomplish as much as possible on your agenda? That's what we're seeing play out on Capitol Hill right now. So th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that that that that that that that that that that that that that that thoan thi thi thi thi the the. the. the. the. the. the. the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. theanan. theanan. theanananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan right now. So when you look at this fight that is happening within the Republican Party, for me, I often think that the polarization in America is in part created by the fact that you have two choices. And I've always thought if you have two choices, inevitably we are going to be enemies with each other. Whereas let's say in sports, we can all choose our teams and te at some point I go like all right Christian you've got your team I've got my team as Trevor we hate that team together so we can team up and get something done and I see that in politics whether it's in South Africa and any place that has a parliamentary system you're forced to create coalitions and alliances to get to a common goal but you don't have to be on the same team all the way th th th th th, th th the all the all the all the all the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the the the the. the and the the. the. the the. the the the the the the that that that that that that that that that the the the the the the the the the the.. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. then you have the traditional whether the Marco Rubio Republican Party and then you have the Democrats which is the Joe

Biden but then you also have like the Bernie Sanders AOC Democratic Party and just from what you've seen and what you've polled how would people vote and what would the lay of the land be? So the Republican Party would probably look like if we were in Europe a combination of a traditional conservative party, your Tories in the UK, and a sort of further right, more populist, anti-immigration type party. You've got those in a number of different European countries as well. And the GOP is pretty split evenly between those two viewpoints. The Democratic Party, meanwhile, most Democrats tend to fall into that labor party-type

camp, more of a center left. But the youngest Democrats are pretty split between that and a green, and a, and a, and a, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, and, the, and, and, and, and, the, and, and, and, the, and, the, the, and, the, thi, between that and a Green Party type vision. And then of course you've got this little piece in the middle which are the sort of fiscally conservative but socially progressive or libertarian types. There's not very many of them in the electorate. They tend to be really overrepresented in business and media and my friend group, but there's just not that many out there. But they tend to to to to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their their their. their the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. te. te. te. there, but they tend to vote more democratic than Republican. So that's what the coalitions would look like. But overwhelmingly, between the voters in both of those coalitions, they vote 80 plus percent partisan-wise the way you would expect. So both the populists and the conservatives, they're voting Republican in almost the same measure. So even though if we split into five parties, it would be really fascinating and you'd have all sorts of deal-making. Yes, you would still I think have this pretty

binary coalition that would still form. Oh okay well okay well then if it would be binary then then maybe this next question will help me understand some of the issues America faces and that is because you were one of the few Republicans who I have the privilege of speaking to to speak to to. I'd love to to to to to to to to to the the the to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the, the the, I'm, I'm, I'm, to to to to to to to to to to to to the the, the the, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the, I the the, I the the the the the the the the and I don't mean like the think pieces in the New York Times was like what you don't get about why this man is racist I don't I don't mean that I mean I meet many people who go I'm Republican and they go like oh no I I believe in gay people can get married and I also believe in this and I go like oh this seems like a blurring of what I thought Republican meant So what is it you think that broadly Democrats don't understand about a person who says I'm

Republican? I think there's an assumption that once you put that label on, that you are signing up for all of the policy positions that are on a parties platform that they adopted a convention. And that is not the case. To your point about, well, what if we had five parties? I mean, there are a lot of people in the US that have really different views on issues than what the party label is that they wear. And so you have a lot of Republicans who might hold,

you know, they might say, hey, I think climate change is a real problem. I don't love to say, well, we've got a lot of different people in our tent. But on the other side, they're all the same. And that's just not true. In polling, we often fall into this trap of looking at things in terms of, well, this group is a monolith, because we're same thing with Democrats, too. Do you think then the polarization is less about the parties and then maybe more about the fact that the parties themselves

have chosen to only take one thing? Sometimes I feel like in American politics, you remember in school when you're picking like your team to play with, and then you'd be like, I pick Barry and I pick Emily, I th, I th, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, th, th.... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, thea, thea, thea, theaugh, the, the, thea, thea, thi., thi, thi, thi, play with and then you'd be like, all right, I pick Barry and I pick John, I pick Amy and I pick Emily and it was like, then that's all you can have. Sometimes when I look at American politics I think of that I go, why is it that Democrats don't seem to want to claim like the finances? They don't want to claim the economics world of things. It seems like it's mostly social. And then on the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican the Republican. think about like, oh, okay, how would we fix immigration, not just shut down immigration. Is there something in that? Has politics gotten to a point where now people claim one side and so the other team has to claim the opposite side?

As opposed to presenting, I guess, differing ideas on how to fix the same issue? Well, it's definitely the case that takes someone. So an issue like Russia is a perfect example, where Republicans used to view Russia as a threat, and Democrats thought, eh, not so much. And as soon as we got past the 2016 election, Democrats said, Russia is our number one adversary, and Republicans said, I don't really think about them as much, their to the earlier point. People can suddenly adapt their views to what's to what is. to what is. to what. to to to to to to to to to to to what.. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the to to to to to to to to tooom. tooom. the to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their...... their. their. their. their, their.. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooome.e.e.e. tooome. tooome. tooome. tooome. too's going on and where leaders stand. But I think our polarization is much less about where people stand on issues,

because to the earlier point, lots of people believe things that don't all fit neatly into one bucket. They take some from column A and some from column B. Our polarization instead is about a feeling of being under threat. That Democrats today feel very under threat from Republicans. They worry that Republicans are going to roll back voting rights. They worry that Republicans want to take retrograde positions on cultural issues. And at the same time, Republicans worry that Democrats want to radically change America. And so the other thing that I think has driven Republicans to gravitate toward a figure like Donald Trump and this desire to just fight, is that Republicans see themselves as losing influence,

not just in Hollywood or academia, where Republicans have always complained they don't have power. But even in, say, big business, it used to be, not, you know, 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business. And now Republicans complain that they think big brands, sort of seeking younger consumers, are moving to the left culturally. You've also got tech, for instance. You know, about 10 years ago, tech wasn't necessarily partisan, but Republicans nowadays sort of love to say, look, big tech is against us.

And it's that sense of feeling under threat that I think leads a lot of Republicans to look for someone like Donald Trump who they say will fight for them. So do you think the split came with Donald Trump? Because I remember a point where right before the primaries, right before the race really, right, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, te.e. And, te.c, te.c.c.c.c.e.c.c.e.c. And, te.c.c. And, te.c.e.c. And, te.c. And, te. And, te. And before the race really began, right? Obama was leaving, and so the race was wide open. And I specifically remember Republicans saying, guys, we need to appeal to voters of color, we need to appeal to Hispanic voters, we need to get out there, we need to change, women need to be in our ranks. We need to like get out there and we need, and then Donald Trump came and that just disappeared

and it seemed like the strategy was like, oh no, we're just going to galvanize what we already have and get out the silent majority and that's all we're looking towards. Has that become the shift and do you think that that will just continue to for the near future. I think everybody loves a winner. And so for Republicans, they saw Donald Trump pulling off something that Mitt Romney hadn't, that John McCain hadn't. And so, okay, even if they personally are not stylistically Donald Trump-ish or didn't really like him that much, he put a W on the scoreboard. And I think that changed a lot of Republicans' minds. And that's part of why he is fighting thiiiiiiiii that thiii that that that that that that that that that's thi that's that's thi thi, that's thi, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi theee theanananananananananann. theeananananananananananan theeeann. that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that's that's part of why he is fighting so hard to make this case to claim that he didn't lose the 2020 election because for him his power is entirely wrapped up in the idea of Republicans thinking, well, that's a guy who knows how to win.

So the question is if Donald Trump is now no longer in office and he's not running for office at least in 2022, are there other Republicans who can put W's on the scoreboard by doing something a little bit different and give the party a different model for, okay, we tried that, it worked this one time, it didn't work in 2020. Now let's try something different. I think Republicans will gravitate toward a new strategy, if a new strategy can prove that it can win at the ballot box. Well, Kristen, thank you so much.
