Take a scee, let's get into it, let's get into it, everybody. Welcome to it. I'm excited.

Our guest tonight is the governor of Washington state and a Democratic candidate for president in 2020. Jay Inslee is joining us everybody. It's going to be a fun conversation. Also on tonight's show, Bernie's near-death experience, Ronnie Chang is here to save the planet and Apple thinks you're not looking at your phone enough. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines.

President Trump. President Trump. As much as I hate to start the show talking about him, he is the president. Although maybe someone should tell him that, because this weekend, instead of doing normal president stuff, he was on Twitter, unleashing a record 50 tweets, that he'd had even some of his supporters a little worried. President Trump just glued to Twitter over the weekend some 50 tweets. A Twitter typhoon ripping everything from the steel dossier to making claims that Mueller should never have been appointed.

President Trump once again insults the late Senator John McCain. President ripping into Google over the weekend via Twitter. Trump blast GM. Mr. Trump is urging Fox News to put Janine Piro back on the air. He also took aim at Saturday Night Live, even though it was a rerun, threatening the show with a federal investigation. Good Lord. You know, I know Trump doesn't drink, so it seems like for St. Patrick's Day, he just skipped the alcohol and went right to the crazy rampaging through the streets. And of all of his tweets this weekend, our favorite was when he tweeted out,

It's truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny slash no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person, me, over and over. Same with late night shows. Should FCC look into this. There must be collusion with the Democrats and of course Russia. So much going on here. First of all, S&L was a rerun, as you heard, this weekend, so he got new angry over old

jokes. And also, it's interesting how he only complains about jokes that are about him. Like he's never said, like, leave my children alone. In fact, he's probably like, hello, S&L. Do you take submissions. I have a few the the thaaa thuxic, so much thuxic, so much thuiiii thuice thoomomomk so much tho tho tho to to to to to to to to to to tho to tho to tho to to to to to to thi, so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much thi, so much thi, so much thi, so much thi, so much thi, so much thi. Some me thi. So, so much thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. So, thi. Somea. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, probably like, hello, S&L. Do you take submissions? I have a few Eric jokes I could send. And also, what does he mean? Late night shows are colluding with Russia? Really? Really?

The country that's famously known for their sense of humor, yes? Yeah, yeah, what's your favorite Russian comedy shows? thoe, the wacky neighbor would burst thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, I'm a thi, I thi, I'm a thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I have a thi, I I have thi, I I thi, I I thi, I I thi, I I thi, I I thi, I I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I'm, I'm thi, I'm thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi? thi? toooo-s'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, I'm shows. If they did a sitcom, the wacky neighbor would burst through the door like Kramer and everyone would just shoot him and just be like, ha ha! Bang, bang, bang, bang! Police to knock first. And also, we're colluding with the Democrats. What does that mean? They're the only people less funny than the Russians. You think comedy shows are getting material from these guys? Negotiating with this White House is like negotiating with Jello. It's next to impossible. The five white guys I call them, you know. I said they're gonna open a hamburger stand, next or what?

I don't know who created Pokemon Go. But I'm trying to figure out how we get them to have Pokemon Go to the Poles. And shortly after that, she was Peekabooed off stage. All right, moving on to some big technology and entertainment news. The New York Times looks at Apple's ambitious plans to challenge Netflix, Amazon and HBO. Apple is inviting movie producers, studio executives, and A-list actors to an event next week to unveil its ideas for streaming service. The first of a dozen or more shows will likely start streaming this year. Apple reportedly plans to spend more than a billion

dollars on entertainment. I hear the unveiling's gonna be big. Okay, why is everybody a TV network now? Huh? Apple makes phones now now they're a streaming channel. Amazon sells books also a streaming channel. I feel like one day we're gonna be talking to our friends like, yo, have you seen that new show on Doritos? Like, there's not enough people for all these channels that are coming up. Pretty soon, the audience is going to be so split up. Every show is just going to have five viewers. Yeah.

Like, I'm going to come out every night and be like, thrown, and I'm going to go to Brian's house, like, what happened, man? And Brian would be like, oh, dude, I cracked my screen, and then now I've got to repair Brian's iPhone screen, or I'm losing advertisers. This shit can't carry on. And now many people are wondering, what does Apple know about making TV shows? Like, where are they going to get their ideas? Well,to be taken from our private text messages and any photos or videos that we have on our phones. Yeah. Yeah, now that could be true.

You don't know. You don't know because you didn't read the terms and conditions before you click accept. Whoops, all your dick picks are going to be part of a new game show. It's time to play whose dick is this? Is that my dick? I think it's my dick. B- that's my dick. Final answer. And finally, moving on to some breaking news from the wizarding world. The bombshell revelation from Harry Potter creator, J.K. Rolling, about two of her most prominent characters. Rolling had previously revealed that even though it's not mentioned in any of the books or films, Hogwarts, Headmaster, Elvis Dumbledore is gay.

But hang on to your wines here, Rolling now reportedly says Dumbledore and Fantastic Beasts, Grindlewold, and a passionate sexual affair. Oh, wow. I mean it makes sense that they'd have passionate sex, one's good, one's evil. Of course, the sex is gonna be smoking, you know? Like they're getting down to it, taking off their clothes, and Dumbledore's like,

hey, leave the sorting hat on. And don't get me wrong. I'm all for having diverse characters with diverse sexual identities. But I feel like at this point, just gossiping, you know? She's like, so Dumbledore and Grindowall totally boned, but then Grindwold never called him the next day. That was the real crime of Grindewald. And you know what's funny is,

once you bring sex into Harry Potter, now everything in the book sounds dirty. Like, take Quidditch. Harry's running out like, I just bludged the quaffle with my beaters bat so I can get my hands on that snitch. All right, well let's move on to our main story. They are just 595 days until the next presidential election, which is so close. If you go to the bathroom, you'll miss it.

So let's catch up on more updates from the Democratic primary campaign in another edition of World War D. First up, if you're a democratic voter who feels like there just aren't enough choices in this race, well, you're in luck. Now to the race for 2020 and something Joe Biden said then quickly corrected that may be stealing the spotlight. Listening to Vice President Joe Biden, it sounds to many like he's made up his mind about entering the race.

I'm the most progressive record of anybody running for the unab- if anybody who would run. I didn't mean. Oh, Joe. You're so running, Joe. Oh, Joe. You're so running, Joe. Why are you even trying to cover it up, man? You don't have to pretend for our sake. We know what you're planning. You know, Biden is like a parent trying to preserve their kids' innocence.

She's like, wow, big guy, another tooth gun? I guess I'll have to, I mean,the tooth fairy will put five dollars under your pill. Trust me, the money doesn't come from me. It's like, I know dad, the money comes from mom, you haven't had a job in five years. Anyway, while Biden was slipping up on stage, Bernie Sanders was slipping at the crib. Two-time presidential candidate Bernie Sanders out campaigning in Nevada. After an accident, the shower left him with seven stitches on his head. He apparently cut his head on a glass shower door, we're told, he popped into a walk-in clinic, got seven stitches and got right back out there,

but you can see the big bandage there is, is this evidence of his tenacity as this race heats up? Bernie! Yo, this dude is such a legend. He cuts his head in the shower and then goes back out on the campaign. Like, I can picture him at the hospital, just hand me a stapler. Bah, ba, ba, but I'll do it myself. Because let me tell you something, if I cut my head in the shower, I'm not coming to work, all right?

Like, this guy He'd be in there And by the way. I'm not saying Bernie's too old to be president, all right? But you have to admit it would be awkward for the Secret Service if one of them has to watch Bernie shower I mean Because that's a danger to him and that's an assignment that nobody's gonna. to thedler. And 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 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 too too 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 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 too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too to too too to to to too to to to to to to to to to to to person, you know that they're not covering up anything for anyone's sake. Yeah, he's going to be toweling off his crutch like, take it all in Asian Wilson, this is your future. This is you. Oh, and by the way, just by the way, by the way, you know for me this story is a great example

of how differently the media treats male and female candidates, yeah? Because they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, that that that thate, or tho, or that, or thate, or tho-in. Yeah, or tho-in. Yeah, or tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th. th. th. th. that, or that, or that, or that, or that, or that, or a that, or that, or that, that, that, that, that, that, that that that that that, male and female candidates. Yeah? Because they just said that Bernie slipping in the shower and hitting his head and carrying on is evidence of his tenacity. But remember when Hillary fainted at the 90-level memorial, and everyone was like, Hillary fainted today? Is she healthy enough to be president? Or is it time to put Hillary down? This is something I noticed. But while some of the news was focused on the senior Democrats, it's one of the youngest candidates who is making waves. Better or Rock, former Texas congressman and handsome scarecrow, who raised $6.1 million, a record in the 24 hours after he announced his presidential run last Thursday. And that's a lot of money, 6.1 million dollars.

That's almost enough to bribe your kid into USC. So right now, right now, out of the gate, Betto looks like a serious candidate. But his launch is being overshadowed by a revelation about his past. Newcomer Betto O'Rourke quickly went from a big start to closer scrutiny. Former U.S. Congressman O'Rourke confirmed that he used to be a member of a well-known computer hacking group. As a teenager, he belonged to the group called The Cult of the Dead Cow.

He also wrote online essays under the name Psychedalic Warlord. His writings as a teenager included a piece of fiction written from the point of a view of a killer Who runs over to children with a car? That's right Better or Rock used to be a hacker. Yeah, which I think will only help him because it's a great way to show that you're from a more modern generation All right most of the other candidates could never have been hackers even if they wanted to. Like, what was Bernie going to hack? A telegram? Huh? I breach the mainframe.

We're in. And as for people slamming or rock for the short stories that he wrote as a kid, I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. They were fiction, right? He wrote fiction. He wrote fiction. Are we 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 tha tha tha thu thui thui thuic. thoe thoe thoe thoe thi thi thoe, thoe' thoe' thoe' thoe' thoe' thoomomome' thoomom-a tho-a tho-a tho-a tho-a thoen, thoen, thoen, thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. theanann. theann'eann'eanan. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I can't believe. He wrote fiction. What's next? Are we gonna arrest George R.R. Martin? Huh? That man's a monster. He killed thousands. No. He's a monster because he refuses to finish those books.

That's why he's a monster. What the hell, George? You and Robert Mueller having a contest? Someone released something! Godd damn it! But Beto's an interesting guy, right? He doesn't want to risk offending anyone with his past writings. In fact, he doesn't want to offend anybody. He spent the weekend apologizing for that and about 50 other things.

I'm mortified to read it now, incredibly embarrassed. But I have to take ownership of my words and understand the way that they make people feel when they read them now. Last night he said it was wrong of him to make a joke at several events that his wife had been raising their three children, quote, sometimes with my help. It's constructive criticism. It has already made me a better candidate. Not only will I not say that again, but I'll be much more thoughtful going forward in the way that I talk about our marriage. Betto O'Rourke on the defensive, telling reporters he regretted saying that he was born to run for president.

I'm born to serve. I'm born to try to help bring people together. Wow, this guy's apologizing for everything. Soon he's going to start apologizing for stuff he didn't even do. I'm sorry, Tristan cheated on Chloe Kardashian. I have to take responsibility for his actions. I'm sorry people but this is out of control. People literally wanted Beirok to apologize because he said about the presidential race I was born for this. this. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Wow. Wow th. Wow th. Wow th. Wow th. Wow th. Wow th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. This, th. This, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. This, th. Wow, th. This, th. th. Wow, th. Wow, th. th. th. th. th. th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, th. Wow, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi is out of control. People literally wanted Beiroch to apologize because he said about the presidential race, I was born for this. And they were like, that's why privilege, are you seeing the presidency is your birthright? No.

Born for this is a figure of speech we all use to indicate we're ready for something, all I wasn't actually born for the All You Can Eat Buffet. It's just something I say. This shit is getting ridiculous. This is not wakeness. This is insanity. Can you imagine if Behroud took this attitude into the White House? Huh? North Korea would launch missiles and his aid would be like, Mr. President, what do you want to do? And he'd be like, as a white man, maybe it's my time to listen to what these missiles have to say. You're like, breaking news, New York City was wiped out, but the president is a woke bay. We'll be right back. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here.

I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show.

Let's talk about climate change. It's the most pressing issue facing humanity. Well, that and March Madness. This bracket is killing me. Anyway, because climate change is so gradual, very few people feel the passion to act. Luckily, we have someone on this show who is extremely angry and passionate about this issue, and really every issue.

Please welcome, Ronnie Chang! Thank you, Trevor. Trevor, first of all, can you please stop telling everyone that I'm an angry person? Right, you made me sound like some kind of raving psychopath. I'm actually really chilled out kind of guy, all right? How do you think I got my sponsorship with Ambient? Ambient? Just go to fuck sleep already. That being said, nothing wrinkles my ball sack more than people ignoring the threat of climate change.

And last weekend, kids around the world decided they were sick of it too. Students in more than a hundred countries took to the streets Friday, demanding action on climate change. An estimated 150,000 students and adults took part in school walkouts organized mainly through social media and word of mouth. They're calling for, among other things, 100% renewable energy by 2030. The Earth is dying. Stop to die.

We call for a real national emergency. Hell yeah, kids, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I love seeing young people get fired up about what they believe in. It reminds me of when I was a the thia, thia, thia, and I thia, and I thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, mainly, the, mainly, the, the, the, the, the, the, mainly, mainly, mainly, th kids, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I love seeing young people get fired up about what they believe in. It reminds me of when I was a teenager, and I protested the Iraq war by crashing my dad's car into a tree while drunk. Also, it's pretty slick how they found a good reason to skip school. I mean, the kids were like, with the world the way it is. We cannot in good conscience. Go to class or do homework. Now let's head down to Cancun and fight climate change

of senior frog. Whoa, climate, climate. So I get why these kids are angry. The planet they're inheriting is gonna get destroyed. The same way the microwave I inherited from my grandmother was destroyed by this weird sticky black stuff in it. You know what I'm talking about about it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, the the the the the the the the the the the the the their thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoom, thoom, tho, tho, tho, and tho, and tho, and th and th and th and th and th and th and thi, and thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and the world thin, and thi's the world thi's thiiiiiiiiii's thiiiiii's thiii's thi... thi's thi.. stuff in it. You know what I'm talking about? It looks like burnt cheese, but it's not, and it looks wet, but when you touch it, it's like hard. Because some goddamn barbarians

didn't know how to use lids when they microwave their shit. Ronnie, are you, are you cursing out your deceased grandmother? Trevor, please, okay? This is a private matter between me and my grossed-a............... th. th. th. th. th. their, th. th. to. their, to. to. their, to. their, their, their, their, toe. their, their, their, their, thi. thi. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, their, their, their, th......... th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the toe. the the th th th th th th th th th be listening to these kids, but instead, they're going ahead of their plan to make as much money as possible while ruining everything in their path. The Trump administration has approved seismic testing along the Atlantic coasts from Delaware to mid-Florida. Air guns drag behind a vessel, emits sound waves every 10 seconds that penetrate the reflected pulses create a map of the oil and gas deposits below. Noise that can disturb sound-dependent marine light.

Dolphins and whales rely on sound to communicate, find mates, find food, and avoid predators. Just when I thought oil companies couldn't be more evil, now they're blasting the ocean with non-stop sonic waves. And you heard what that lady was saying, whales use sound for everything, like hunting and finding a mate. Imagine being a whale. You think you're hearing all these mating calls. Next thing you know you're having sex with a boat, okay? And now your whale wife is divorcing you, your life falls apart and you end up doing flips at sea world for meth. Okay, it happens all the time. Oh, but but th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they's they's they's they's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. they're the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thoom. tho thoom. thoom. thine. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. thin. they're thin. they're thin. thin. thin. theeeeeea. thean. thin. thean. thean. thin. thean. thean. thin. thea. thin. the happens all the time. Oh, but but don't worry, okay, if you ask the people who are blasting the sonic ways, Turns out everything's gonna be fine. The government concedes there could be impacts, but not enough to kill or seriously injure marine life.

Assurance is echoed by the oil industry. We've been coexisting with marine ecosystems for years, and we just haven't seen adverse impacts. Really? You guys haven't seen any adverse impacts? Right now, there's a seagull saying, what was that? I couldn't hear you because I have too much oil in my ears.

These guys have been spilling so much oil in the ocean. Somewhere there's a polar bear being accused of Blackface. All right? in the ocean, somewhere there's a polar bear being accused of blackface. Alright? Also, why? It's terrible. There's context. Also, why are we believing anything these oil companies are saying, when they haven't even cleaned up the shit they've already done. The longest oil spill in American history has been going on for 15 years now

non-stop following Hurricane Ivan. Millions of dollars has been spent to try and clean up this disaster. Oh my god how is the ocean even still water at this point it's got to be just oil and Starbucks cups right? Seriously this oil spill is 15 years old. I'm surprised R. Kelly's not all over it by now. What I'm trying to say is those kids were right. If we don't take the environment seriously, this planet is going to end up looking like the inside of my grandma's microwave. Okay? So, I'm very proud to announce that today, I too am joining their protest. For the good of the planet, I will also be leaving work for the day,

and I'm not coming back for two weeks. Well, Ronnie, you can't just leave. You're in the middle of a segment, dude. Shut up, Trevor, you corporate shill. Change has to start now and with me, okay? I'm not just going to sit here and do nothing. I to Chang, everyone. We'll be right back. Welcome back. Welcome back to the Daily Show.

My guest tonight is the two-term governor of Washington state and now a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Please welcome Governor Jay Inslee. Welcome to the show. Hey, this is a good show I've heard. You've heard? I've heard. Wow, never watched? No, I've watched. No, I have watched. No, I've watched. the night. Don't go to bed without it. Oh, okay. I feel like you said you've heard and then you said you've watched. that was a pretty good like a politiciany move that you pulled on me there to get the vote. You know I can't vote. You're wasting your charm on me. I can't vote. You got friends, buddy. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Welcome to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. I. the. the. the. the. the. How does it feel to be in? It feels inspiring. Yeah. Inspiring because I'm finding people who really want to see a president

who believes in science, who believes that the number one job of the United States is to defeat climate change. Yes. People are telling me that that that's the right message. I marched with thousands look, this is the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we're the last generation that can do something about it.

It's interesting, though, you are one of what I would like to call the OGs of climate change, right? Long before it was popular amongst most candidates, most politicians, you were on the front lines fighting for climate change. In fact, you've made that your number one policy position, which is people always say is risky they go, don't go with one policy position. Why would you risk it all on climate change? Because you can't solve other problems unless you solve climate change. And I believe this for a long time. I co-authored a book about it 11 years ago. I've started the US Climate Alighting. Alliance. Look, if you'd been at Paradise California with me a few months ago and you saw a town with 25,000 people rendered burnt right down to the foundations and nobody there, it looked

like a Hollywood apocalypse movie and that is a foretaste to what we're looking at. So what we know is this is a matter of urgent peril, but it is also a matter of great promise, great economic promise. So we need someone who will really rally the American people, and I have tremendous faith in Americans' ability to innovate. This is what we do. We invent, we create, we build. We just need that spark of inspiration from the White House. Like Kennedy gave us when I was a little bit younger, and I can tell you, I'm pledging you

tonight, if I'm going to make defeating climate change the number the the number the number the number I'm going to do. Let me ask you this though, you have now 15, 16 candidates in the race and all of them have said climate change is part of their policy. I mean, how do you then differentiate yourself from them if everybody is biting your style? Well, number one, they'll all make potential good vice presidents. Uh-huh. I would consider it. I think that my candidacy is unique in a number of ways. Number one, I'm the only candidate who said forcefully that this has to be the first, foremost in paramount duty of the United States. And the reason I think it's important to say that is, that, that, that, 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, 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. thiiiiiiii. thiiiiii. thiii. thi. think it's important to say that is that if it is not job one, it won't

get done. And the reason is we have to use our political capital, we have to develop a national mandate to actually do this. Look, this is a heavy lifting. We have to reorient and mobilize the entire government around this mission state. So having been the only the only the only the only the only the only that that that the only that. the only. that. the only. that. the thiii. thi. thi. thi. to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to bea. thiol. to be a to be a to be a to bea.

I'ma a governor, I understand, unlike some others, to govern is to choose. And I have chosen that as a priority because it is the existential threat and we can't solve our other problems unless we solve that. That's number one.

Number two, look, I've been at this for 20 years. I campaigned in 92 on this. I co-authored a book on this. I started the Apollo Project legislation back in the early 2000s. So this is something that I've been both passionate and effective about. And the third thing as a governor, we're moving the needle in Washington state. Look, we're building a huge wind turbine industry, it's $6 billion industry. We now have legislation here that I hope we're going to guarantee Washington's 100% clean electrical

grid. Right. We're doing the things in Washington. So both by passion, commitment, prioritization, and experience, I think that's what we need. And I think it'd be great to have someone who believes in science and gravity in the White House. I think that would be great. Let's, uh, let's uh, let's talk about your states a little bit.

Let's talk about Washington State. Let's talk about what you're doing out there. The wind turbines is a beautiful initiative, but one of your friends actually and one of the people who have supported you in the past, Bill Gates, has come out and said, you know, through research, they've realized that wind energy, solar energy is not going to be enough to propel us out of the danger of climate change. Yeah. Right? So surely there needs to be a jump bigger than what we're dealing with right now. And so some will argue that we can't

just jump to wind and solar and abandon fossil fuels if we don't have an interim solution. Is that your number one priority or do you genuinely believe in just wind and their one teundonthalion the the the the the their their their their one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one to to to their to be their one one one one to bea to bea their one one one to bea to be to be to be to be to be their one their one one one one one one one one one one one one to be to be their one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. to. te. te. to. to. te. te. te. the the the the the the the the the we're going to need multiple technologies and we're going to need multiple industries. We're going to need Americans building electric cars in Michigan. We're going to need Americans building lithium-I have batteries for electric cars in Nevada. We're going to need wind turbines in Iowa. We're going to need multiple technologies. But I do believe we have to have a much more robust research and development program because we are going to need some additional technologies.

Right. And I, listen, this is a difference between me and Donald Trump. He is a pessimistic, fearful, insecure person. I am a confident optimistic person who believes that. that America, who put a man in the moon, who defeated fascism, sure as heck can build a clean energy economy. That's who we are as Americans. And I fundamentally believe that. The the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and I tho, and I tho, and I tho, and I tho, and I'm tho, and I'm tho, and I'm tho, and I'm tho, and I'm tho, and I is tho, and I is tho, and I is tho, and I is tho, and I is thoes, and I is thoes, and I is thoes thoe, and I is thoe, and I is thoe, and I thoe, and I will thoes thoes thoes, tho, tho, thoes, and I'm theeeeateateateateateateat, and thusus.eateat, and thusus.eeeat, and thusus.eee.eate. And And I fundamentally believe that. The state that you're in, the state that you are in,

the state that you are governing has in many ways helped shape the future that we now live in today. Yeah. Some of the companies that you govern over have been criticized. You know, Elizabeth Warren came out saying the tech companies have gotten too big and they need to be broken up. Do you agree with this? Well, what I agree with is that, look, a lot of these tech companies have made our lives

so much better in so many ways. But I do believe we need to rein in a considerable number of corporate practices. That's why I'm proud that I was the first governor to go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go. to go. to go. that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm the governor the governor that I'm that I'm that I'm the governor the governor to be a the governor to be a that I'm a that that that that that that that I'm that. that that that that that that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that I'm that. that. that. that. 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. that's that. that. that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thefer. thean. thean. the the the the the the the the the the the theananan. thean. that's that's that's that. that's that's that's that's that I was the first governor to sign a bill guarantee in net neutrality. We need net neutrality and we get it nationally. We've done that in our state. I believe that we need a way to stop the incredible subsidies that the fossil fuel industry is getting. Right. So they're lobbyists to see DC and come back with billions of dollars that we have. I believe that we need to rein in the abuses of our privacy. And I. And I. to. to. the, to, the, to, to, the, the, to, the, the, to, the, toe, the, the, the, the, toe, their, the the, toe, toe, to, their, toe, their, and, 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, the, the, the, the, thean, tean, toean, toean, toean, toean, toean, toe.e.ean, toe.e.e. Wea, thean, their, their, believe that we need to rein in the abuses of our privacy and I'm looking forward to there's a bill I'm advancing through our legislature that I hope will be the template for privacy protection in the United States. Right. And I also believe we have to find a way to stop these corporations from blackmailing communities to saying we're gonna move

our 20,000 jobs out of your town right unless you give us unless you give us a tax treatment so yes we need to bring some sanity to our uh... to our society and to our economy and i'm up to that come to wash your and i'll show you a good policies now some some might say they might say okay governor insley you say that you're going to fight against these companies who have mailed states with their tax policies, but you gave Boeing, I think it was an $8 billion tax credit, right? And Boeing has also come on a criticism recently where people have said, do they have too much power? It looks like they investigate themselves, they govern them themselves, the FAA is toothless.

What do you think needs to be done in x break if they should at all? Well they shouldn't. And the fact it is, look, if you've ever been mugged, you understand what it feels like? Yes, I have. Okay, you have. You're not happy about that, right? Not at all. Well, I was not happy about the Boeing situation because what happens, these corporations put a gun to your ribs, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, and say, the, the, their, their, their, their, thipa, thipsp-a, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, their, their, their, is, their, their, their, their, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is their, is their their their their their their their their thi., their their their their thi., their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their thii adamant to try to stop that kind of behavior. We should use the tax code so taxpayers aren't victimized like that. So you propose stopping it everywhere so that people can't blackmail one state using another state's tax breaks?

No local community should be blackmailed by any corporation and rights. We'd be dedicated to that. Now listen on this FAA issue, serious issue. Here's one thing I know I I I I I I have an administration that you can't trust for anything. They are repealing our environmental laws through the EPA. Right. They are pillaging our public life lands through the Secretary of Interior's action. They are reducing our research and development of clean energy in the Department of Energy and that kind of work. And everything they've touched has been chaotic and in ineffective. I mean they really they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they really they they really they they really they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they are re they are re they are re. they are re. they are re. they are re. they are re. they are re. they are re. they are really they are really they are really they are really they are really they are really they are really they are really they are really they are really they are really they they they they they they they they they they they they they they really really really really really really really really really they they th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi thi theee-i thi thi thi the-a-i thi thi thi thi And everything they've touched has been chaotic and ineffective. I mean, they really can't run a two-car funeral when it comes right down to it.

So what I know is we need someone who has been a successful executive who has helped build the number one economy in the United States, which is the state of Washington, who has stood up against Donald Trump's Muslim ban, who has done the America's best family leave policy and one of the biggest minimum wage increases, and that neutrality and transportation infrastructure, they can't build a birdhouse in Washington, D.C. We've got billions of dollars of transportation. That kind of executive can lead this country and I hope I have that honor. You make a compelling case. Thank you so much for being on the show.
