>> just eight days remain for democrats to convince voters that they want to take control of the congress for the next two years. the heavy hitters have come out, a former president than trump, biden, and trump a -- 20 million ballots have been cast. >> how many minds still can be changed and what does all of this mean for the 2024
8:02 pm
presidential race? those are the questions for the return of our dueling panels this evening. laura, just to let everyone, know this is where we each get four minutes and our panels make their best case. and we decide who wins at the end. >> we're gonna win, so let's just -- >> not so fast. not so fast. >> cnn political analyst tanya kim, and political commentator ashley allison. look at the, clock is going right. now first of all,, guys there's a lot of anxiety for democrats over the next few days. but all even more so for the next, i don't, know two years because they are wondering whether baden is the person they still want in office. what do you think about the anxiety? >> i think everyone should always question which candidate should be on the ballot, even if it's an incumbent. i think that's what makes our democracy strong even president biden. i am fine with people -- if president biden runs again, i will support him, but i think
8:03 pm
democracies about giving people opportunities to run on the ballot. >> in ohio, tim ryan doesn't seem so selfish. soared to -- new blood. what do you think about? that >> it's interest, a when he would say, that was a pair what president biden, willing to stand behind him and tell the administration's accomplishments. but when it comes to running in 2024, people like tonight are saying, not so much. is this weird dynamic that we're seeing. democrats are extremely happy with the biden administration's accomplishments. what they have done from the past two years. but of course the no brainer answer should be, of course we want biden to run again, but you're not seeing that a. law there's a lot of nervousness about his age, obviously looking at his approval ratings looking at what else is out. there is gonna be an interesting day for the next two years. >> i come from a culture that says respect your. elders from the south, so double. that and i think it's, great i think there are these people that have expertise and knowledge. you talk about, diane, talking nancy it seems like on their left there's all these people that are pushing 80. but then you have chuck grassley all over their running, and like, hang up here running
8:04 pm
shoes. replying this thing where we need to talk about who is leading our country. if you can't operate your own smartphone, if you don't know what cybersecurity is, or to factor identification, you should probably not be making our. loss >> snl wanted to weigh in on. this they had this to say, this was a viral moment happening on saturday. listen to this. >> sometimes, a familiar face can be the most terrifying. >> in political news, president biden has said he intends to run for reelection in 2024. >> you trusted him once. >> i knew he was a little old, but he could still win, right? he beat trump. >> but can he be desantis? >> i don't know. i don't know! >> can we trust him again? >> 79 now, elections in two
8:05 pm
years, so that means -- [laughs] >> when it feels like nothing is going right -- [noise] >> gas prices are still kind of high. >> even though it kind of is -- >> are we so worried? -- the infrastructure bill. >> but he fell off his bike once! [noise] >> ageism or funny? >> funny, and yet i think it's being a little tough maybe on, biden falling off the bike, i feel off my bike sometimes to. i just fall walking sometimes to. i think it was funny and that's what and's cell is supposed to do. >> i think it is funny, i think it's also a little ageist, but it doesn't away encapsulates some of the fears that we're seeing in the democratic party
8:06 pm
about a second round. so there's a little bit of truth. there >> america loves a strongman. >> i wish they love a strong woman, so we need. that we need someone who's, young, biden. strong >> great way to bring that home when you have a table full of strong woman. are you running for office? actually -- we will leave it in the. either [inaudible] alison, i'll go back to you because i know you need the last four seconds because they just drop the mic. >> that is some confidence right there. all right, laura, i see your snl clip and i raise you an snl clip. put four minutes on the clock pleas for me. and i will play the snl clip. go. >> if biden is not gonna run -- who will? >> just when you thought the [inaudible] was over? >> i don't know, khama! >> what you realized is that it's just beginning. >> there's gotta be someone!
8:07 pm
>> he is corny! >> listen to yourself! >> from the producers of smile on the twisted minds of morning joe. [laughs] >> guys? >> not again. >> i am the perfect candidate. >> babe? >> a superstar. who can go all the way. [inaudible] >> sometimes your best option -- >> i'm with her, i'm with her, i'm with her. >> is the when you hear the most -- >> man, they really went for the jocularly there. i think they had zeroed in on exactly the issue that the
8:08 pm
democrats that complain about their -- , biden who do they want to replace him within two? yes >> i think the best comedy is rooted in. truth and that's exactly what they touch upon. they say that they want someone else to, run but who is that gonna be? that's how biden ended up with the job in the first, plays they looked around and they asked, who is gonna? be >> heap anguished everyone. >> and he was the most likely to be trump and low-key today. the question was who would it? be not only on the left, but also on the. right they have trump and desantis, who? else >> isn't that enough? they seem to have a lot of confidence in trump and desantis? >> there is a clear-ish picture on the ride with a trumpet desantis. on the left is if you would remove biden, it would be a free-for-all. i think it zeroes in on the z problem, and i think that you zeroed in on something too. when hillary clinton lost in 2016 there wasn't a democratic bench that was ready and waiting. it sent the party into chaos. and they are still dealing with the domino effects from that. and it's playing in this way where democrats are in a rock
8:09 pm
and a hard place when you talk to base democrats, you asked, them are they happy with what biden has done, they will say yes. you asked them if you want them to run again, and it is like that snl skit. so it is difficult for democrats to both see his successor but at the same time they are -- they know that he's probably the best option i guess trump. >> in keeping with the horror flick, is there any democrat that sends a shiver down the spine of republicans? >> at the moment, i don't think. so that's the problem with the democrats, and president joe biden's 2020 message was that he was gonna be a bridge to the next generation of democratic leaders. well, okay. no disrespect to the leadership of, the house leadership, they are octogenarians. good people, but they're kind of aging out as far as a lot of democrats are concerned. they want to get through this next generation. i guess you've got gavin newsom out there, he seems to be talking -- kamala harris, of course. >> if republicans, charlie, win the senate and the house.
8:10 pm
does biden actually run again in 2024 or does he exit? >> my own feeling is that he's probably not gonna run again. >> either way? >> you're the, way i thought he was gonna be a bridge to the next generation of democratic leadership. >> he's not saying. that >> he is not saying, that but if the democrats have bad midterms that he just gonna turn up on president biden if he doesn't. again democrats know that the next presidential election for them is existential. and if they think that biden -- particularly bad midterms, the blood will circulate around the. water that's gonna start almost night. >> can i just make one clarification and what to? seconds when we talk about the future that we're talking about, in 2020, for trump and desantis good enough for 2024. >> well done panel! well done! okay, laura, your thoughts? >> well she took the three seconds and i handed back to. you and -- i'm okay with it. i like the orange color she's wearing soil give it to her. >> that was generous. >> but that snl skit.
8:11 pm
your rights, the idea of comedy reflecting a lot of what we are seeing and the anxiety is, and it's almost a safe space for people to joke about it without having maybe biden take a toll or hits at the polls because remember he is not on the actual ballot in eight days but his shadow certainly, trump's shadow, all over it. >> furthermore, that snl skit is actually scary, it's so creepy the way that they did it. well done. well done. they took every single horror flick me and put it together and i was scared watching it. >> can i admit something to you though? i'm getting to the point where i watch saturday night live when i wake up in the morning because it's too late. >> me too. me too. i'm so with you. we want to know what you think of all of this. can anything change the races at this point in the midterms? and what is going to happen in 2024. you tweet us at alison koch and

8:16 pm
vile antisemitic messages, popping up across florida this weekend. first there were disgusting banners reading, and jewish supremacy in america and -- if you know what to the, jews these were hanging from a highway over past jacksonville. and then, on saturday, also on jacksonville, message that kanye was right about [inaudible] i don't know it's hard to see. but it was scrolling across the football stadium across the football again -- kanye's recent antisemitic. 's recent video shows the same message, outside of another bill -- and then there were also incidents that happened in
8:17 pm
terms of vandalism and swastikas and sort of things being spray-painted. so, let's bring in cnn senior legal analyst, elie -- elie honing, and then also -- who are back with us. and, so, obviously it's not just florida. according to the video, 2021 had a high of antisemitic incidents across the country. there were 2717. and if you could convert that to i, think four or five years earlier, it was a fraction of. that, oh laura, something is happening across the country. >> well, we're seeing this with the specific incidents where the referencing con u.s.. we're seeing what's happening when someone who is influential with a huge platform normalizes or attempts to normalize this kind of hateful speech, there's a direct line between this kind of hateful, speech and continuously deteriorating behavior. we have seen that even further when it comes to things like
8:18 pm
shooting with the buffalo shooter. we saw that he had messaging, writing -- on his assault rifle that came from hate speech commentary. we have seen it with the el paso shooter, who drove several hours to go to walmart so he could target mexican immigrants crossing the border, he believes. so we see how the hate speech can then translate into hateful acts. because, the social contracts that keep us all behaving in dignified ways, they are not written on stone. they're written on tissue paper, they are actually incredibly fragile. the speech is the beginning of what -- yes, i mean the written in our conscience. >> the written in our own moral compass. and that's all malfunctioning right now. >> but, they're so fragile because we all have to agree to the dignity of one another for it to work. i want to start to unravel, it can unravel very quickly. >> you know, i was interesting elie, in what the sheriff in jacksonville cell. and i. quote at this, time the sheriff's office had not identified any crimes haven't been committed. the comments displayed, did not
8:19 pm
include any type of threat and are protected by the first amendment. okay, i get that. but obviously, vandalism. but i guess just protecting something on a wall is. not >> correct, i mean sadly, that is largely a correct legal statement. a hate speech as vile as it is is not a crime unaccompanied by action. of, course if you would attack, someone else, altamont is going to be a crime. and probably, even more serious because it's gonna be a hate crime. that too would be a crime. but, nearly saying, things kanye west tweeted as grotesque antisemitic, vile as a, was it is not a crime. we do have a very broad first amendment. and i think martin made a very good point, there is nothing new about how anti semi -- went back centuries. but what's so alarming to, me what you hit on the head, is how little it takes to spark this. one high-profile person sense of one crazy tweet like that. and look at all that follows so eagerly. that is really alarming to. me >> well, is that true? is it true that kanye west has
8:20 pm
this ripple effect? the stuff that he has said, he is lighting the spark of this obviously it's predated him and all of the horrible violence that we've seen in the mass shootings. but what is the effect of kanye putting out something to all of his millions of followers? >> i don't think that we could minimize the ripple effects that have come from this incident. this has come from using the global platform to spread that hateful ideology. i do think it has tangible effects. but we should also say, that comes alongside a growth of antisemitic language that we have seen across the. board that's been echoed even by the former president, donald trump. that's been echoed by mainstream political figures on the right and left. and i think that that is really what we're seeing cause some of this real growth. for the reporting that we do we talk to conservatives who have used the language of sorrows and elite and globalist so much. even in their language of how they express what they see is happening in the country, right. now we know that that overlaps
8:21 pm
with dehumanizing anti human language. so, it is at the core of what a lot of people's political ideologies are. and that is the scary part. it's how widespread these hateful thoughts and actions really are. >> we nailed right now exactly what the coated dog whistle is of antisemitism. and actually, i don't even understand this for a lot of my life but it's always this notion that jews run double. the secret of jews who run the wall. they won the banks, they won the media. and i just remember it when, i was in college in the poli-sci class and someone said, sort of casually, a friend of mine will jewish people run hollywood. and afterwards, they said, can you believe? that and i, said at the time, i was like why why is that bad. i didn't understand. it but now, i know, and we see it it's one of the common threads here that the secret group of jews are organizing the world. and that is one of the most sort of vile forms of antisemitism. >> and then, there's the high profile people like kanye or kyrie irving who sort of
8:22 pm
pretend not to understand that they have a huge platform and what they say does impact people. so here's what urban just said. >> what i post does not mean that i support anything that being said. where everything that's being done or i'm campaigning for anything. all i do is postings for my people, my community, and those who are actually gonna impact. >> do you, understand are not understand those that might imply that that work had anti-semitic leanings in it? >> we asked this because the tweet is still up there. >> it's on 2022, it's on amazon and public platform. whether or not you want to watch it is up to you. there are things being posted every day. i don't know -- i hope build won't treat me any different. >> the, said what did they do? >> he shared a book that had antisemitic ideology in it. i don't specifically know, i think that it was talking about
8:23 pm
slave ships and using that same type of ideology that we've talked about pointing at jewish folks for running a secret kabul that has the same type of routes that we've seen in great replacements, are the same type of routes that we have seen from most for cough and other kind of ideologies that have used that rhetoric as justification to really dehumanize a larger group of people. but, i think, what we see from kyrie here is another instance of people just having a lack of shame. i mean, at the minimum, there is no recognition that those actions hurt others. and there's no willingness to learn from what those folks have communicated. i think that's their thing. we see across politics, right now, across public light is a refusal to even take information and in good faith and to do the basics that you would think to understand how your actions are in post. >> yes, and a lack of accountability. >> it's a willful ignorance to give an example of someone who
8:24 pm
did things right. whistle used to, some award in the song, that's a stable community said this is a slur. she said, i did not know. that she apologized and she changed the song. we don't know what we don't know. but when it's been brought to your attention, it's your responsibility to learn what you did wrong and fix it. especially for a public figure. >> such a great point. and, also the idea that just delegates something doesn't mean that i believe it or supported. well, it should. laura i mean that is seen as an endorsement. >> he described a cop out. the idea of, i'm sorry, i didn't realize that this was ingenuous. and i do think that we have responsibility. but, part of the idea is that it's sort of a free for all, health related place that elon musk spoke about? i, mean the, gate you kind of have this notion of it being a free-for-all if you want to have zero accountability. and the fact of the matter is, in the, u.s. sure we have free speech, but not without some consequences. so, that's an ongoing concern in conversation to have. also, what we're gonna have next, alison, is about the president from brazil. he is known as the trump of the
8:25 pm
tropics, and, so, far refusing to concede defeat in the election for his presidency. and the lead up to the vote, he claimed that he's been a victim. and he's been a victim of electoral fraud. sound a little familiar? and, of course offering no evidence. down even more familiar? so, what does it mean for democracy in brazil? and maybe what we can learn here abroad. talk about it, next.

razor-thin margin of just under 51% to bolsonaro's 39.9% in sunday's runoff election. now, bolsonaro, of course, had become famous as they kind of trump-like figure in latin america. reena shots, back joining, us now miles taylor the staff of the dhs secretary, kirsten nielsen also back ashley allison. you know, i really wanted to cover the story in part because we oftentimes look to the uk or our european allies in some respect to draw comparisons about what might be happening here in the united states. the truth of the matter, is all over the, world and also in places like brazil, you are seeing some comparisons about democracy being challenged, being in peril and this country in brazil has some very striking parallels in fact even tonight they are trying to have securing president available because they might have all of these protests that are pro bolsonaro. and, i'm wondering, in terms of the lessons to be learned or
8:31 pm
what we can be looking at, are you seeing some kinds of blueprints or analogies that you want to point out? >> well, i think it is worrying not just in brazil, but around the world. the united states example is being looked. at what happened in the 2020 election wasn't some tiny country in a far corner of the globe. the entire world watched it. and, they watched it in horror. but, would the autocrats around the world watched it with some level of excitement. because this is something to emulate. this was something to justify their behavior in the future. now, let's hope that bolsonaro silence today as sort of a bout halloween trick. and nothing more without delay. he's the first brazilian president in their history to have been booted from office so they are probably digesting this. and i think the good news, is most of his allies have come out and since congratulated lula on winning the presidency. but, this is still big concern. the fact that there is a delay
8:32 pm
and the fact that there is uncertainty, even still days later is really raising anxiety in brazil. and, again, it sets a wearing president of leaders delaying concessions around the world which creates the opportunity for a nefarious activity. and of course you have president biden jumping to congratulate. i think to notch the blueprint that was created across the globe and the very notion you have the oldest son of bolsonaro taking to twitter to say let's not give up on our brazil and the idea of the notion of not to conceive. what parallels do you see, the chicken or the egg is what to come or what is then? >> well, i think it's both first what i also think is that i'm a people person. so, i think what we saw similar to 2020 is a candidate that was extremists to the right and conservative. the people made their voices heard and they said that's not the world i want to live in and
8:33 pm
that's what happened in america in 2020. now, i think it is some foreshadowing for what might come in the next eight days, actually because you have steve bannon immediately also going on air into his media outlet. and he's saying, look what's happening in brazil folks. i'm not gonna let that happen here. and, kind, of again seeing this radicalized effort of these people who want to intimidate voters. the ones who want to storm the capital. and i think that he's pulling a little bit from the brazilian pace with him saying, see what's happening, here if he stands up and, says i'm not going to conceive, that is what our candidates need to do in 2022. but, the people can say no. and they can show up in numbers and be definitive and say, i am going to elect people that represent me. and i want every vote to be counted. >> it does kind of remind you about the idea, last, week president biden and president trump making the comment that was seen in the tucker carlson documentary. the idea of blake nash are telling them that you can't go
8:34 pm
soft on these issues. you get softer, lose, talking about election denialism. i mean does this foreshadowed some respects that people are looking to see, hey, is this going to work? and not towards here in eight days. >> well, there's a lot and, packer first there's a great our need to meet the republicans that i speak to point to the countries in south america and, say we're not, those countries we don't want to be those countries places like venezuela, brazil, columbia. they talk about these places like they're terrible places. what, why are you letting basically bolsonaro's twin brother do exactly what bolsonaro's doing down there? so, this is the thing about republican to support trump. they need to pay attention to these authoritarian regimes. because, what they do is heightened peoples anxiety with these populist tendencies, pop -- and we all know that's not possible. so, i think, let's back up here for a second. like you alluded to earlier. they're going to say, bolsonaro's gonna fight the process. he's gonna create these delays. , and i think that that really bad, and. general and anybody looking at that is sort of, like okay. that makes sense.
8:35 pm
but it doesn't make sense. because that's what's happening there as a potential for leaving the door open with people wanting to do. now, we know brazil is the place that many could've happened. the great irony here is in 2024, we cannot rule it out. the idea here that fighting the process and we ought not to take issue with fighting for a legitimate process, right? a recount if there are reasons to have so. if there's an evidence to challenge the result. but, what we see here, to a larger point is the idea of putting that out into the universe, planting the seed and hoping that it would result in the maintenance of power. >> well, that is exactly what we saw donald trump do. there wasn't a hint of fraud in the 2020 election. it was the most secure election in modern history. until donald trump fantasized that there was fraud. then, rumors of fraud started to pop up around the country. that is, what as rina was
8:36 pm
saying that period of uncertainty, the longer it goes the more that those fantasies can come to flourish. and the thing that actually worries me the most about this is, on twitter, and elsewhere on social media, these red cap marcus wearing pro trump proud boys, somehow are very attuned to foreign policy all of a sudden. these people are all commenting about brazil's election. you, know kids, to five years, ago would've thought a thing about a foreign election. but, now, they have a keen interest in seeing bolsonaro, who they know is a friend of trump stay in power. that's what's worrying to me. it's the only thing that made them pay attention to foreign policy. someone might mimic their dare leader. >> i mean, the connected tissue is so apparent, alison and when you think about these things because, as we said, it was also the setup to it. the idea of pleading the seat, and saying, there's election fraud, i'm going to contest the results, everything is not fair. we're seeing that level of election denialism on the campaign trails. right now.
8:37 pm
all because someone's ego couldn't handle losing. we used to call that a sore loser. and that is now the fact that it has proliferated around the globe is stunning to see. all right, we're going to lighten it up with some soft stories, and next, laura because the real life white lotus stories from service industry workers who cater to be one percenters and being really bizarre demands that they make. i'm not in at 1%. i'm not! >> okay, we'll see. because i have some note here on what you can. answswer a few questions and our techno wizardry calcululates your car's value and gives you a real offer inn seconds we'll come to you pay you on the spopot then pick up your car that's it at carvana [sfx: stomach gurgling] it's nothing... sounds like something. ♪ when you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, ♪ ♪ upset stomach, diarrhea. pepto bismol coats and soothes for fast relief...

all, right if you've ever seen the white, lotus my sister that works on hbo, then you've been treated to the side of well, to put it bluntly, rich people behaving badly. the first season, you see wealthy guests vacationing at an exclusive hawaiian resort and all the hopes employees drum through to keep these guest satisfy. the seasonal courses on right now. >> so the, washington post decided to look into the stories of real hotel workers and what they had to do for real rich people. and it's actually even better than what you see on white lotus. so, back with us is charlie -- so, here's what the washington post found. here's just a few of the demands that rich people make
8:43 pm
up the hotel workers. so, one guest wanted a real authentic mermaid with the splashed hill in the pool. that's kinky. one guest in france wanted st. paul agree, no water, delivered the same day from italy so she could wash her hair. they had to get that for her. another guest and zurich had a piece of lawn so his dog compete in the hotels. that grows. and then, one guest ordered a 50,000 dollar foreign tree frog to be delivered for his daughter, who then left it in the hotel room and checked out. i mean, this is madness, i've been bingeing on white lotus on my commute home. and it is, just enough, crunchy to see all of this. but it is real. >> yes, you know it's such a great show and such a great commentary. even the thing is with some of these demands, some of them just like people having fun with their money. and, who could blame them for? that >> a tree, frogging in a mermaid for the birthday party, amy fairly. i, mean i would say yes i'm not

an adult birthday party. but, some of these things just seem like having fun with their money. but there's a saying that money doesn't change who you are by -- money reveal so you are. so, there is of, course people who are incredibly, wealthy an incredibly kind and generous. but, we do see the other side of this. , and one of the stories that really hit me in the washington post that they highlighted was up the family that refused to communicate directly with the white stuff. they would communicate with the bodyguards, he would then communicate with the white stuff, and this family and children. so, you think to yourself, what are the children learning when they're seeing what's taking place. and that's how you get children to go up to be monsters. >> that's a great. point not all rich people are bad, i'm glad they're giving that disclaimer, but there's a lot of bad behavior happening. and another one that they found, bravo start screamed at her driver for not picking up her luggage fast enough. >> yes, i mean i think that this behavior is tough for. us sometimes we describe only the rich people but we see it all the time, everywhere, i remember back when i was a sanguine and -- in wisconsin, and the way people would ask about their subs would resemble some of the
8:45 pm
behavior from white lotus. i mean even so as oftentimes associated with the rich, associated with the wealthy, they are the ones calling in the mermaids. i think a lot more people have a little bit of the white lotus in them than they want to admit. that's such a great, point sandwich artist, that's a cool title. >> very, very serious. >> yes, i was a waitress for a long time and i've also witnessed some bad behavior from people who may have been over served by me. >> but, charlie, you have never seen the show, that's right? >> i've never seen the show. >> you need to watch. it >> i shall, all i can say i was the best click i one-time, i was a dishwasher. and i'll tell, you i have seen some bad behavior but i come from a kind of a great town where people have money and they didn't talk about, it they didn't show it. they had their first -- they didn't drive fancy cars. that'll school. that is old-school, and i like those kinds of people. absolutely, much better than ordering 50,000 dollar tree frog and leaving the hotel. >> okay, laura, your thoughts. >> i'm the tree frog, i've got a lot of them. now, showing the, shelves miles
8:46 pm
taylor, ashley allison. lasting, first of, well if any once willing to show off i have not watched everything but the idea of rich people behaving badly, we've all seen this. but, in terms of how this plays in real, life you guys we have seen the last several years during the pandemic, people not returning to work in part because it wasn't worth it they thought. what they were getting in the non livable wages. and how they're being treated. i, mean we saw this in realtime. absolutely >> i agree with. this you don't have to be the one person to treat people in the service industry poorly. we saw how workers were taken for granted. people who -- i used to be a cashier for my first, job second job, i was a cashier at a grocery store and how those individuals have to show up every single day so we can still get our groceries. now, when you have more money you can get a frog -- but it doesn't mean that we need to treat people, no matter, what it's about the dignity of work, picking them affair wage and treating everybody with
8:47 pm
humanity. >> well, the show, and the conversation, in part of these discussions were broadly oftentimes the racial dynamic up to play of the haves and the house. not not universally. but, the idea of how that factors into the conversation. and i think that's why that's resonating for people. >> yes but let me back up and just say i have no interest in watching, this i've never watch keeping up with the card issues but it's just watching people behave in. shows >> very different. charles i think they'll enjoy. this >> really? >> just watched it before i came. you're >> well, at the end of the day -- >> will be, back will put these into perspective. >> well, it's like the kardashians in our culture. people have credit cards at the ready, they want a champagne lifestyle so they're going to -- are these people really rich, are they putting things on credit and wanting to be a like divas because, guess what, all of us can have a champagne lifestyle if you've got a credit card. and, you're willing to rank up some debt to have a good time. i'm a millennial. i'll be honest, my generation,
8:48 pm
we had credit card reps on our campus. i've seen this. so, i kind of don't want to watch this because i'm just, like people behaving badly when they have access to luxury goods and want to behave some kind of way, it's the problem with where we're at. no empathy. and, frankly, where does this pendulum swinging back to just decency? i've been anaerobic's instructor, i've worked real till, and a health clerk clinic. i've seen people behave badly in all the settings. and it's only getting worse. so, i'm just like, you know what? >> well, we need a full show on all of our prior careers. because, i am fascinated on the long list that we all have. here miles, what was it? >> bartender. dishwasher, kind of like a newspaper boy. all of those things were better than politics. i literally, any day, charlie dent is also said he'd been a dishwasher. i thought, we've both been in politics. i bet charlie would rather go back to being a dishwasher than sitting in this industry. but that's neither here nor there. because, on white lotus, i just
8:49 pm
watched the episode before i came here. wasn't planning on being a part of this panel. but here we are talking about it. interesting show, worth watching, the thing that you said the, laura, really makes me feel like we keep referring to this decade as the new roaring twenties. because, all of the exciting things that could happen in technology under the world. but, also, like the last roaring twenties, it's going to be a period of extraordinary transition for blue-collar workers in this country. technology is changing, societies changing, the great resignation echoes what we saw 100 years ago. >> after the black death. >> after the black death. and you look at the great gatsby and that was also a similar story. and, you know, white lotuses another great gasp like story. and, i think we really do have to zoom in on what's happening in that part of society because it's going to affect the next ten, 20 years of american life. you know, if these trends continue. >> i welcome any and all, if scotts fitch barrels references. because of course he's from st. paul, minnesota. so, there you have it allison, i mean, i'm just saying --
8:50 pm
>> yeah. >> it was just all connected. you want to the same high school is me as well, not the same, year because i'd be much older. >> yes. i could do that math. but, that is impressive. that's great. i had no idea. that's a fun fact. but, hold on, let me just ask darling. would you rather be a politician or dishwasher? >> i'd rather be a politician. dishwashers hard work. >> it is hard work. >> it is a lot of hard work. laura, it would be great for us to do a segment on. that because i was also a dishwasher for. week that hot fudge, that sticks on those metal pots really hard. so, anyway, i'll tell you. but it >> let me tell you something, nothing better. a little mothballed in there, it's a whole thing -- >> okay, all right, time for all of you to sound off and will read your tweets, next. ...or plan? maybe it's because in drea, you can do anything. in dreams...
