From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York York, this is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody.

Thank you so much for tuning in. I'm Tom of Noah, let's do it people. Let's make a TV show. Our guest tonight is the chair of the Democratic National Committee and the person responsible for hurting all 20 presidential candidates onto one debate stage. Tom Perez is joining us, everyone. Also on tonight's show, Harvard deals with the N-word, corporations are becoming gay, and your dog is lying to you. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with some major news in the world of finance and technology. Facebook, the social media giant with nearly 3 billion users worldwide, has faced recent

scandals for helping undermine democracy, spreading fake news and leaking people's personal information. But if after all of that, you thought to yourself, man, I wish I wish they had access to my money too. Well, then this story is for you. It's a move aimed at shaking up the world's financial systems and the way we all shop. Facebook says it is going to soon roll out a new digital currency. The Facebook plan replaced the world's dollars, euros, francs, yen and pesos

with a new cryptocurrency called the Libra. You could use your phone to transfer Libra to friends, shop online, or pay at your local store. Facebook says it won't manage it it the the the the the thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage it thage to friends, shop online, or pay at your local store. Facebook says it won't manage the new financial system. Instead, it's launching a subsidiary called Calibra to do that, saying Calibra will not share account information or financial data with Facebook or any third party without customer consent. That's a bit weird.

We will not manage it. We will create the thing that manages. Then you're managing it. But yes, you heard that right. Facebook is going to launch the world's biggest cryptocurrency. And I don't know how I feel about this, because I don't want to mix Facebook with my banking. Yeah. It'll be like, do you want to move money to this account? Yes. Do you want to invest here? Yes. Do you want to to to to to th. th. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th. to th to to to to th th thi thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi.

No, no, no, no, no, no, undo. Undo, undo. And also, I don't know if the name Libra was the right choice. Right, first off it sounds

like counterfeit Italian money. And more importantly, Libra won't sound cool in a rap song, you know? Just be like, widen in the bands, got that Libra, gonna hit the zoo, to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, th-a, 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, their, their, thr, thr, thr, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, their, their, their, the zoo by a zebra? Wait baby come back! And I'll be honest like I'm gonna wait to see how secure this currency is before I jump on board. All right for now I think everyone should keep their money safe. Do what I do. Invest in in arcade tickets. Yeah. Because when all these crypto currencies fail you can still use their tickets to get a big teddy band, a bunch of rubber spiders. It's called fiscal responsibility, people. Yeah. But still, this is an exciting move for Facebook. And I know that right now some of you asking, you're going, Trevor,

how can we trust that Facebook's currency will be secure? Because, guys, they said they promise. All right, let's move on. Tesla is back in the their their their their their their their their their. their. t. t. t. their. t. t. t. their. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. te. the. tf. tf. tf. tf. tf. tf. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. tt. tt. t t t t t t t te. te. to. to. te. to. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te isn't an ad for their self-driving cars, but maybe it should be. Up next tonight, the shocking video that appears to show a man asleep in his self-driving car for at least 30 miles as the Tesla continued down a busy Los Angeles freeway. Commuter spotted this driver, who they say was asleep behind the wheel of a semi-autonomous car. I realized he was just fully sleeping, eyes were shut, hands nowhere near the steering wheel. Milodinovich called 911. The Highway Patrol says there's little they can do, since officers didn't witness the incident. Man, you know what, I wish the cops did

arrest that driver for being a legend. Yeah. Because why wouldn't you go to sleep in a self-driving car? The only thing shocking me in that video is that the traffic in LA was actually moving. That's the only shocking thing there. If you ask me, the only person who's acting on safely is the person shooting the video. He's the one recording a cell phone while driving a car while driving a car. He's like, oh my God, oh close to one, ah! And by the way, I think it's weird that if you sleep in your car while it's parked, you're poor, but if you sleep in your car while you're driving, your rich's health. That doesn't seem fair.

Like what's the point of a self-driving car if you don't let it drive itself? The only problem I see is that future fast and furious movies are going to be a lot more boring. Yeah. Vin Diesel's going to be like, I gotta save my family. Did I save my family? In other news, schools all over America are constantly trying to find ways to cut down on bullying. Some have increased punishments, some do counseling. Others encourage the nerdy kids to shove themselves into a locker first so the bullies have nothing to do. But now, one town in Wisconsin is trying to solve this problem for good. Riley and McKenzie Bransma are fed up with bullies at school. It's been especially tough on 13-year-old Riley. Her getting the locker shoved on her, shoulder checking in the hallway, the name-calling. It's hard for the school district too, because bullies, the bulls the bulls, to b b b b b bulled, toozy, too, too, their, too, their, their, too, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, too, their, their, and their, and the name calling. It's hard for the school district too, because bullies aren't learning anything when they're

suspended. So tomorrow, a bold step, when the Wisconsin Rapid City Council votes on a controversial proposal to fine parents up to $313 if their kids are caught bullying. You know what I think would work better? You make the bully pay the fine directly to the kid who got bullied. Yeah, then everyone wins. Think about it. The bully will be like, ha ha, I panted you to me, and be like, yeah, that'll cost you $300. You're like, oh man, do you accept Libra?

And finally, dogs, they're adorable, they're man's best friend. And it turns out, it's all been a scam. Researchers have found that dogs have evolved muscles around their eyes which allow them to make expressions that particularly appeal to humans. A small facial muscle allows dog eyes to mimic an infant-like expression which prompts a nurturing response. The study says such puppy eyes help domesticated dogs to bond with humans. Are you serious? See it's working right now.

I thought dogs were being sincere. Turns out they were manipulating us the whole time. Fake-ass cute faces. It's basically the original Snapchat puppy filter. That's what that is. And I don't even understand why the puppies need this. Puppies are already cute. They don't need extra eye muscles to manipulate us.

You know who needs this this this this this this this this this this. Puppies are already cute. They don't need extra eye muscles to manipulate us. You know who needs this? Lobsters. That's who needs it. Yeah. I'm gonna be in the tank so we can be like, oh, look how cute he is. Who's a good dinner? You's a good dinner.

But seriously, I don't know about you, dog and their cute eyes. Yeah, enough of that. There's a way we stop this. We should just cover their eyes up. Just completely cover the... No! No, no, it's even cuter. Oh, do you want to be your lobster? That's why you've got to have respect for cats, guys. They aren't tricking you. Yeah. They get what they want the old-fashioned way. Intimidation. All right, that's it's thia that's it's that's it's that's that's thia. That's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's the old-fashioned way. Intimidation. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. College admissions. That's special time in a teenager's life when they ask institutions of higher learning to settle them with soul-crushing debt. Now the issue of who does or does not get into prestigious universities has been in the news more than usual lately. Mostly thanks to the third most

popular actress on the Hallmark Channel. And now, and now there's another college admission scandal making headlines and this one makes even Aunt Becky look good. A fierce debate is raging now about whether Harvard University made the right decision by rescinding its acceptance of a Parkland shooting survivor turned gun rights advocate. Kyle Koshov says that the university pulled his admission after texts and documents surface showing that he had used racist and sexist language on social media two years ago. Okay, there's a lot going on in the story. We've got a Parkland

shooting survivor who has a pro-gun advocate, fighting about college admissions and racism. Basically every hot button issue is crammed into one story. All that's missing is abortion and then you get bingo. So Kyle Koshov, he had a bunch of private messages where he said racist and sexist things. And because of that, he got kicked out of Harvard. The good news is he just got offered a full scholarship to Trump University.

Now, you might be wondering how bad were these messages that they got him kicked out of Harvard, well, this bad. Some of his text messages included racist and anti-Semitic language. He used the N-word repeatedly, including about black student athletes. In one thread, he used hea heed he he he heed he he, he he, he he, he he, he he, he he, he he, he he, he he, he he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-heed th, he just th, he just th, he just thi, he just thi, he just thi, he just tho-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-heed th, he th, he th, he th, he th, he th, he th, he th, he th, he th, he th, he thi thi thi thi thi-heed thi-heed thi-heed thi-heed thooooovedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. thoooooved including about black student athletes. In one thread he used the n-word 11 times, joking that he was good at typing it because quote practice makes perfect. Holy shit! Are you seeing that? I've never seen the n-word written that many times in the same sentence. Even rappers would be like, yo, that's too much dog. You got to throw in some other other the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their word word word word word word their word word word word word word word word. their word word. their word word word word word word. their word word. their word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word. their word. their word. their word. their word. their word. their word. their word. their word. their word. their word. their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the end word. the the end word. the end word. the end word. the end word. the the the the same sentence. Even rappers would be like, yo, that's too much, dog. You gotta throw in some other lyrics, man.

Libra, zebra, shit like that. I mean, look at that message. Forget Harvard, it looks like he's plagiarizing one of Quentin Tarantino's scripts. What is that? And because of Kyle's profile, this story has gotten a lot of attention the news, right? And he's come out. He's come out saying, although these messages are extremely offensive in his defense, that was actually the whole point. Kyle Kishuv says he and some others were trying to be as extreme and shocking as possible when

he used the end word repeatedly. The person who wrote those things is not who I am today. Well at that time it was really a friend group where who could say the most shocking thing and most extreme thing for the sake of shock value. So he was competing with friends for shock value. I guess he won. Yeah? You know, it's always funny to me that people who purposefully go for shock value and shock effects.

Always surprised when their shock gets effects. Yeah? I was like, I can't believe this happened, but isn't that what you were trying to do? It's like prank calling 911 and then freaking out when the cops show up. I was just joking. I didn't think you guys would actually come. It's a white neighborhood. We always come. Now, some people have come to Kyle's defense, saying that it's not fair for the college admissions office to judge him for stuff that he did when he was 16. But that's exactly what college admissions does. They judge you for what you did in high

school. Think about it. I mean if they're turning down someone for failing pottery class when they were 14, you're definitely not getting in after you've been busted for saying the n-word 11 times. Everyone knows the limit is nine. And I understand where Harvard is coming from. There's usually no way to know to to to to to to to that which which which which which which which which which which which which which which which which to the the the the the the the the their their their 11 times. Everyone knows the limit is nine. And I understand where Harvard is coming from. There's usually no way to know which one of your prospective students are racist, but if you somehow do know then why would you admit that kid into your school? Like a lot of people have herpes. Like a lot of people have herpes. But if someone is listing that in their tinder profile, what are you supposed to do? No it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, 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 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 to to to to 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 to to do. No, it's like, thank you, Herpes, man. Swipe left. Swip left. Now, Koshuv, for his part, did

apologize for what he had written in those messages, right? He said that he's grown since then and he wishes that he could take it back. But at the same time, he's also pointing fingers. For people who don't know, Harvard was founded in 1636 by slave owners. It has a long history of racism, sexist, misogyny. But I think that people can grow and people can change. And I don't hold that standard to Harvard. And I think that people can make mistakes and I don't think that mistakes make you irredeemable, as Harvard showed for me. Fair point. Can I give you a time out there? So you're mentioned that they had slave owners in the 1600s. You using the N-word was what a year year and a half ago? Do you see it? Two years ago.

Two years ago. A little more recent. Okay. Okay. Two years, four hundred years, come on. That was such an epic fail. There was also a magic is how he tried to switch from N-word premium user to civil rights leader in one moment.

So look, Kyle lost his spot at Harvard because of his old racist messages. And he feels like that's not fair. But the truth is, there are all sorts of reasons people don't get into Harvard. Sometimes it's because of your grades. Sometimes it's because you said the end word, 11 times. And to be honest, I don't think that he has a leg to stand on here. So if I were him, I'll practice my puppy dog guys and start applying to other schools. We'd be right back. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show, it's gonna be coming out every Thursday.

So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday, we're gonna be talking about. All the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?

I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight served as Labor Secretary under President Obama and is now chair of the Democratic National Committee. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome back to the show. Great to be back.

The last time I saw you and had you on was December 2015. That was 40 years ago. A very different time. Amen. You were gearing up for Hillary going up against Donald Trump. The party was aiming at something different. You had a different vision, different purpose. As you say, it feels like 40 years.

Everything has changed. What is the DNC looking to do differently this time? Win? And win everywhere. I had a 100% confidence interval that we were going to make history again on November the 8th 2016. I don't think I was alone and I woke up the next day and said I could cower in a corner I could do something about it and I think when we I have a Democratic Party that's firing on all

cylinders we win at scale up and down the ballot and so I ran for this job and I've taken this job with an eye toward toward to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to 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 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 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 the too. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. te. te. they. they. they. their. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. win at scale, up and down the ballot. And so I ran for this job, and I've taken this job with an eye toward making sure we lead with our values, we communicate what we stand for, and we're the party that's fighting for opportunity and fairness for everyone. And then we run campaigns and we build relationships. Politics became way too transactional. There's a distinction, Trevor, th, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. th. that. that. th. th. I. that. I. I. I. I. I's, th. I'm. I'm thi. thi. thi. I'm thi. I'm. thi. I'm thi. thi. thi. thoing, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. I is is is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is a th. I is a thi. I is a thi. I's a thi. I'm thi. I'm a ta. today. today. today. today. today. today, today, today. today. today. today. to. today. tactional. There's a distinction, Trevor, between what I call mobilizing

and organizing. Mobilizing is that sprint, that two or three months sprint before an election. Organizing is building those relationships. All politics is personal, President Obama. How do you build personal relationships with 24 presidential candidates out there. Like you have to admit it's become a bit of an issue where you have so many candidates right now.

Do you think that's good for the party or do you think that's something that you need to whittle down as quickly as possible? I think that's a first class challenge to have. I had the privilege of working with the vast majority of these candidates and the wonderful people. And everyone everyone th th 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. thi, th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, thi, and thi, to to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooi. toooo. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, and they're wonderful people. And everyone running for president believes that every person in this country should have access to safe, affordable health care, quality affordable health care. Every person running for president believes that climate change is real.

And we need to take swift, bold action. Everyone running for president understands that these attacks on women, on immigrants, on communities of color are attacks on women, on immigrants, on communities of color, are attacks on the fabric of our democracy. And so there's a unity of purpose here, and I don't think it's my place as the chair of the DNC to window the field. What it is my place to do is make sure everybody gets a fair shake, because all but but one aren't going to make it to the mough. And our goal is to make to make their their their their their their their to make their their thiiiia, thia, I thiolntermaltrion, I thi, I thi, I thi, I'm thi, I'm, I'm, I'm thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thininin, thinin..... And, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the.e.ean, ta.ean, ta.ea.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. And, their, their, their t make sure the process is fair to everybody so that everyone feels

like they got a fair shake. How do you decide what's fair though? How do you come in and say this is fair and this isn't fair? Because right now you've had to make rules about how to get onto the debate stage because everyone wants to run for president. So now the idea is if you are polling below 2% I believe it is? One percent. One percent. You cannot end. But why?

One percent? That seems like such an arbitrary. Is that just because it's better than zero? Well, zero? Zero? The only thing lower than one would be zero. Right. In which case, you could announce you're running for president.

I am. Yes, I am. I'm runningtotally a jury and I'm doing. I mean, we did a lot of listening when I entered this job and we spoke to a lot of folks, including people who had run for before. What we didn't do is speak to folks who were either running or thinking about running because we didn't want to create an impression that we were putting a thumb on the scale. And we created an unprecedented layer of access to the debate stage. We've never before in the history of the Democratic primary had a grassroots fundraising threshold. So we always use polling.

And my concern with focusing solely on polling to get on the debate stage is that 18 months out, polling often measures no more than name ID. And so we wanted to create another pathway to demonstrate our commitment to the grassroots. And so we used a 1971 law that established public funding for campaign finance. We modernized it. And we created a grassroots fundraising threshold.

So if you had 65,000 unique donors, or you had 1% in the polls, you could potentially get access to the debate stage. And actually 14 candidates out of the 20 met both thresholds. And our goal was to make sure we gave people a fair shake. We gave them notice back in February, so they had plenty of time to move forward. And then we used random assignment, because again, I didn't believe in JVVVarsity. I wanted to make sure that... Everyone gets on the stage on the stage on the stage on the stage on the stage on the stage on the stage on the stage the stage the stage the stage the stage the stage the stage the stage to to the stage to to to the debate to the debate toity. I wanted to make sure that everyone gets on that stage and it's random. And you're gonna love the folks you meet. I mean my goal for folks I want you to date many people at the same time in the primary season fall in

love, you know speed date do whatever you need to do fall in love with the the the to the and the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to the. to to to the. to to thean 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 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 to to to to to to to to to to to the. the. the. the. thean. thean. thean. the. thean.ean.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. Because this is the most dangerous present in American history and our unity is absolutely our greatest strength as a party. There's the concern some people would have to use your analogy is if you fool around too much you may not be able to settle down, you know, you get to that point where you, you're now to be with one person and then you're like, oh man, but being, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, the, the, the, the, the, th, the, the, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, the, thi, the, the, the, the, and, the, and, the, and, and, and, the, and, 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, the, the, the, the, the, th.a, th.e.e.e. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, too much, you may not be able to settle down. You know, you get to that point where you're now told to be with one person and then you're like, oh man, but being out and about was so much fun, am I ready to do this? And we saw that in the previous race where you noticed a fracture in the party because people felt like Bernie wasn't given a fair shake. In many ways you're in a thankless to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a to be a, to be a, to be to be to be to be to be, to be to be to be to be, to be, to be to be to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be able, to be able, to be able, to be able, toldlde, tolde, to be tolde, to be tolde, told, to be told, told, to be told, to be told, to be to be to be to be there are those who... I've been told me that. Yeah, you're in a position where you have to do what is good for the DNC and the Democratic Party, but you have Bernie fans who say, hey, this was not fair to him last time, how do you fix that?

And then you have establishment candidates who go, well, Bernie's not even a real democrat, likes, why don't we maintain our rules and our structure, like super delegates. You've now weakened the power of super delegates and you've faced a lot of backlash for this. Bernie people are enjoying it. How do you find that balance and do you think that after it all, the Democrats will be able to come together this time? Well, let me answer your last question first, absolutely. And here's why. Because when we, when I came into this job in February this job, this job, this job, this job, this job, this job, this job, this job, this job, th, th, th, the job, th. th. the job, the job, th. the job, the job, the job, the job, the job, the job, 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the, the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the. th thean, to, too. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, we convened a very, very wide table. We talked about the issue of super delugees. We talked about how do we build a democratic party that can be again the party of the people?

How do we address concerns that led to the challenges that we saw in 2016? We've got to come out of this convention, and we will, united as a party. And so because everybody had skin in the game, everybody had an opportunity to be heard, we ended up with wide-ranging reforms and you talked about superdelegate reforms. I think that is one of the many things we did to return power to the people. Having this debate threshold where you can have grassroots fundraising, another very, very concrete statement to voters that we value you. You look at what we did with primaries and caucuses.

I want to make sure, and our goal was to make sure that everybody who's eligible to vote actually goes out and cast their vote. So we made, we created incentives to have more primaries and less caucuses. And now we have six states that were caucuses that are going to be to be primary states. I think that's great for democracy because more people participate. And what all these... More people are definitely going to participate because it just came out today, the Wall Street Journal I think reported that President Trump says he intends to live tweet all of the debates, right? Which I think is a first for a president in

ever. So you have him trash-talking while this is going to be happening live. Are you preparing for this? If not, I have an idea. Why not have like a screen on stage with his tweets and then like people can respond and then we see how they would handle Trump one-on-one. What do you have any preparations or is your idea more about getting rid of Donald Trump out of the conversation and focusing on the issues that voters want to hear about. You know what? We talk to the networks at length and here's what I said. I want to focus on the issues. We don't want to have any discussions about hand size. We want to talk about the fact that that that that that that that that the that thi that thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the of the of the of the of the of the of the the of the of the of the of tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho 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 the the the the the the the the the the to to than. te te te tenenea tea. teauu. teau. tea. tea. tea tea tea t talk about health care. We want to talk about women's reproductive health. We want to talk about the fact that Lady Liberty, two miles from here, is exactly

who we are as an American people. We want to talk about climate change. We want to talk about the issues that animate people. We want to talk about the fact that too many people are working three jobs and not making ends meet. We want to talk the tak about the the the the the the the their their their their their their the, the, the, to to the, the, to the, to to the, to the, three, the, the, thae, the, the, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, t, t, t, t, t, t, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha-a, thauu. thauu. thauuuuuu. thauuuuuuuu. thau. thau. thau. thau. to talk about the assaults on the labor movement and what we can do to strengthen the labor movement. Because when we have a strong labor movement, we have strong unions, we have a strong middle class. And we've been very clear with the networks that we've actually talked about the fact that Trump might try to disrupt the debates by uh... injecting himself and you know what i am quite confident that we're going to

be talking about the issues because the american people are fed up with this president they're tired uh... presidents are supposed to have your back they're supposed to make you uh... feel less stress in your life and chaos is his middle name and we have to make sure as democrats that we are demonstrating to folks that we have your back on all the issues that matter most.
