FIND HER, THEY ARE OFFERING ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR REWARD
AND ADDED HER TO THEIR MOST
WANTED LIST.
ASHLEY: VERY INTERESTING.
NEW YORK TIMES OPINION COLUMN
SOUNDING OFF ON WOKE LIBERALS
SAYING THEY ARE DESTROYING
DEMOCRATS CHANCES IN THE
MIDTERMS.
THE ARTICLE QUOTES A NONPROFIT
OFFICIAL WHO SAYS, QUOTE, IT
HAS BECOME TOO EASY FOR PEOPLE
TO CONFLATE DISAGREEMENT ABOUT
ISSUES WITH MATTERS OF
IDENTITY.
VIVEK RAMASHWAMI JOINS ME.
THIS COLUMN SUGGESTS DEMOCRATS
COULD BE TOO FAR LEFT.
FOR SOME VOTERS.
FOR THOSE VOTERS WHO THINK
THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR LEFT DO
THEY VOTE REPUBLICAN?
>> ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING
THINGS ABOUT THAT STORY IS THE
ORIENTATION OF THE MISSION OF
ANY ORGANIZATION WHETHER YOU
ARE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION OR
POLITICAL ORGANIZATION OR A
COMPANY.
IF YOU ARE NOT FOCUSED ON YOUR
CORE MISSION IT INSTEAD
BICKERING ABOUT THE LANGUAGE
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO USE IN
ADJUDICATING DEBATE YOU DON’T
ACCOMPLISH THAT MISSION.
THE INTERESTING PART, THIS IS
AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT
WASN’T EFFECTIVELY
ACCOMPLISHING ITS OWN GOALS,
THAT THE PRINTABLE THAT APPLIES
TO ANY ORGANIZATION.
THAT IS A WAKE-UP CALL
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE
ON THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT.
WHETHER IT HAS CONSEQUENCES FOR
THE REPUBLICANS THE
CONVENTIONAL WISDOM WOULD BE IT
DOES BUT THE MORE INTERESTING
CONSEQUENCES ARE DEEPER THAN
THAT.
ASHLEY: HOW DO THOSE POLICIES
PLAY OUT IN THE FLYOVER STATES,
MIDDLE AMERICA.
I DON’T THINK THEY ARE
CONNECTED TO WHAT THE ULTRALEFT
POLICIES TALK ABOUT.
IT LEADS A LOT OF AMERICANS
BEHIND.
>> THERE ARE 100 MILLION
AMERICANS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT
ARE BADLY DISAFFECTED FROM
INSTITUTIONS BROADLY, INCLUDING
POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS AND
POLITICAL LEADERS AND THE
PRIVATE SECTOR.
ONE OF THE THINGS POLITICIANS
HAVE MISSED OVER THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS, A LOT OF
COMPANIES HAVE MISSED AS WELL
THOSE 100 MILLION AMERICANS ARE
SOME OF THE BEST CUSTOMERS FOR
ANY BUSINESS, THE MOST
POLITICALLY ENGAGED VOTERS AND
WE WILL SEE A TURN OF THE TIDE
TO RECOGNIZING, I’M IN CENTRAL
OHIO, I WAS IN NEW YORK CITY
YEARS AGO, LIVED IN CENTRAL
OHIO FOR A LONG TIME NOW.
THE REAL IDEA HERE IS THE
EVERYDAY CITIZEN IN WHAT YOU
CALL FLYOVER, MOVING THE WIND
IN A DIFFERENT CULTURAL
DIRECTION.
ASHLEY: YOU ARE LAUNCHING A NEW
CAMPAIGN THAT CALLS OUT ASSET
MANAGEMENT TERMS, USING MONEY
FROM RETIREMENT PLANS TO LOBBY
AGAINST POLITICAL BELIEFS
ESSENTIALLY OF HARD-WORKING
AMERICANS, WATCH THIS.
>> AMERICANS FROM
COAST-TO-COAST WAKING UP TO
MORE BAD NEWS. IN A RECORD HIGH WHEN IT COMES
IN A RECORD HIGH WHEN IT COMES
TO THE PRICE OF GAS.
ASHLEY: INTERESTING.
TELL ME ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE?
>> EDUCATION IS THE NUMBER ONE
GOAL.
THERE’S THE IMAGE OF A MAN
PUSHING A BLACK ROCK UP THE
HILL, CLEAR REFERENCE TO BLACK
ROCK, THE LARGEST ASSET MANAGER
WHO’S MANAGING THE MONEY OF
EVERYDAY CITIZENS, THE PEOPLE
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, USING
THE MONEY OF EVERYDAY CITIZENS
TO TELL CORPORATE AMERICA TO
ADVANCE POLITICAL AGENDAS THAT
MOST EVERY DAY AMERICANS
DISAGREE WITH.
THAT IS A FIDUCIARY BREACH BUT
AS IT RELATES TO THE ENERGY
SECTOR THAT IS CAUSING HIGHER
GAS PRICES AT THE PUMP.
WHEN LARGE ASSET MANAGERS TELL
ENERGY COMPANIES TO CUT
PRODUCTION AND REDUCE DRILLING
FOR GAS AND HARVESTING NATURAL
GAS, THAT CONTRIBUTES TO HIGHER
ENERGY COSTS.
THIS JULY 4TH OR THE COMEDY I
FOUNDED ARE LAUNCHING THE NEW
EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO SHOW
EVERY DAY AMERICANS HOW THEIR
INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS ARE
CONTRIBUTING TO AMERICA’S
ENERGY CRISIS, THEY ARE LEFT
HOLDING THE BAG AND THAT IS THE
FIRST STEP TOWARDS EMPOWERMENT
