the diversity in rural america is unmatched. it is actually a much more difficult question than we are often led to believe. when we speak and abstract terms about an electorate and a rural electorate. you know, my hometown -- my current hometown in rural maine is very different from the rural south, which is miles away from the rural west. i have a good friend, a co- author on another project, that would laugh at my five acres compared to his 500 acre ranch. the federal government has upwards of 70 definitions of what constitutes a rural community, so there really isn't one definition. but when we talk about the rural electorate, what we have increasingly found is that there tends to be one political party that dominates in those regions. the further out you get, or farther out you get from major metropolitan or urban centers, the more likely you are to not just find a republican voter, but entire communities where upwards of 65, 70, in some instances, 80% of the community is voting for republican. >> well, we want to show an el

this is that rural america is not keeping up with urban america. so here are a variety of recommendations so that country life will be just as good and rewarding as city life is. what we can deduce from that is that there was already a perception in the early 20th century that somehow urban life was accelerating faster, rural life was struggling to catch up. so it is a nice little moment in this ongoing discussion of somehow rural america being left behind. peter: in some supporting evidence you use in the 1930's it was reported that over to -- 2200 iowa towns had been found abandoned and there was a 50% drop in the number of farms between 1950 and 1970. steven: yes. again, when you scratch the surface of this, you discover there are measurable indices of decline and change that go way back. people were shocked when census data of 1910 revealed that lots of rural counties, especially in that agricultural midsection of the country, were losing population. during world war i, there was a famous song, what are you going to do to keep them down on the

rural america and rural voters are about 20% of the american population and the diversity in rural america is unmatched and it's a much more difficult question then we are often left to believe only speak in abstract terms about and urban electorate and a rural electric. my current hometown in rural maine is very different from the rural south which is miles away from the rural west and i have a good friend another projects who would laugh at my five acres compared to his 500 acre ranch in the federal government alone has upwards of 70 definitions for what constitutes a rural community. there really isn't one definition. but when we talk about the rural electorate and what we have increasingly found is that there tends to be one political party that dominates in those regions? the further out you get or the farther out you get from major metropolitan or urban centers, the more likely you are not to just find a republican voter but entire communities where upwards of 65, 70, and some instances 80% of the community is voting for the republican. >> we do want to show an electoral map and this

the opening line in that book is "a book about rural america is preposterous on its face." at you mean by that? >> well i think what i mean is that um-- in fact, we use rural to describe vastly different parts of this country. we, we-- there is no really good definition of it. and rural america when you drill down, turns out to be a remarkably diverse label to cover all kinds of areas of the country. we are talking about the greenbelt in the great plains, but we are talking about timber areas in northern maine. we are talking about parts of appalachia which were once upon a time coal country. we are talking about vast swaths of the american southwest. all of these things get labeled rural, but of course they are dramatically different in all kinds of ways. >> for the purposes of your book how do you define it? >> i very studiously avoid it [ laughter ] trying to define it, because one of the things i found interesting when i jumped into this project was that lots of people have been, lots of people smarter than me, have been trying to define this term for a long time, and no

the diversity in rural america unmatched. so it's actually a more difficult question than we're often led to believe when we speak in abstract terms about, an urban electorate in a rural, you know, my hometown and my current hometown in rural maine is very different from the rural south, which is miles away from rural west. i have a good friend coauthor on other projects who would at my five acres compared to 500 acre ranch right. the federal government alone has upwards of almost 70 definitions for what? consider states a rural community and so really isn't one definition but we talk about the rural elected rate. what we have increasingly found is that there tends to be one political party that dominates in those regions. the further out you get or farther out you get from major metropolitan or urban centers, the more likely you are not to just find a republican voter, but entire communities where upwards of 65, 70 some instances, percent of the community is voting for the republican. well, we want to show an electoral map he

parts of rural america, all of discussion of rural america is about voters underlining and underscore a certain bias that exists in the media. but voters of now make between 25 and 30% of rural america. that's going to happen in exurbia well. the eat the will become more diverse and the people who are opposed to that diversity and opposed to the progressive politics that invites they're not going to have anywhere to go. so i think that the future is bright. if we can emerge this short term danger that currently presents itself against us and of the things that makes the short term so severe, is that the political system works to the advantage the current exurbia night. so we have an electoral college that more weight to land than voters. we have a skewed senatorial representative system. there are 3 million people who live here in. that's more than both dakotas combined. and yet the dakotas have four senators in washington, d.c. illinois has only two. so there some major structural but culture. the united states of america is becoming an increasingly diverse and progressive polity. so

that's not a fair characterization of rural america. that's not what's going on. do they have challenges yes. is there serious problems with fentanyl and other types of drugs? yes. that doesn't mean it's a characterization of what happens at all over america. there's a contribution there that communities have that tightness, have that can actually contribute to helping solve a lot of problems in the united states and i don't think demonizing a place as any good getting any closer to a solution. there are things that have overshot the runway that need as history showed in the 60s and 70s, get self-corrected one of the things that all the polling is showing is that kamala harris, the democrats are having difficulty more difficulty than they, than anyone believed they would with black and hispanic voters, particularly the defection of black men and hispanic men why do you think that's happening? >> james carville says the democratic party has become too feminized. do you agree there's a very influential book of boys and men that i read this year. >> and the data, whe

as people are leaving rural america, hospitals and clinics cannot afford the overhead. i am over simplifying to make the point. we need to address how we are structuring and create incentives and give the resources to those health care facilities, be they clinics or hospitals. we need to talk more about the issue around how in the health care system we are treating women. and are we taking women seriously when they talk about their health care concerns? personal experience, my mother had two goals in her life, to raise her two daughters, my sister and i, and to end breast cancer pick my mother was a breast cancer researcher. she was so passionate about women's health care. i remember as a young girl and throughout my life. we still have a lot of work to do. to make sure that when she walks into that clinic, that doctors, that hospital that she is taken seriously. that is also what we do in terms of training in the profession, what we do in terms of public education to get education to women so they know that they are not just complaining and they should not suppress or

has always had america's back and the democrats were going to have rural americans back. been a real problem since the presidency of bill clinton which i obviously spent five or six years of my life working to enhance and strengthen their mr. bill clinton is probably the preeminent democrat in terms of reaching people in small towns, rural america and they neither as well as barack obama, neil, in a race disclosed the democrats need everything they can anything that dirty little secret is the poles are trending ever so slightly but clearly to donald trump. >> that's >> neil: i'm old enough to remember the 1980 presidential race that the people find hard to believe, you know, all these years are not two weeks from the election was essentially a dead heat. no they had one and only one debate right before the election that might have turned it for ron reagan but the fact of the matter -- maybe poles are a lot more sophisticated today but is there anything like what happens, a sudden surge, daughter sort of overtaken about ronald reagan that might or might not help kamala har

>> it's a great question and it was supposed to be used in rural america but you have the biden-harriswho may be playing political gains. we don't know, seemingly so because the reason why they have been denied that those dollars is they are holding on to a standard that it has not been setup until 2025 so it appears they are holding back a company that is helping, that has, you know, its technology together far more than the federal government only for political payback? it would appear so. liz: do you know what's so weird? we're seeing a great reporter of the new york times who wrote a piece for the free press. leland:s show what joe nosera and his colleague wrote. they are basically reporting private americans were already rushing starlink kits to the same parts of north carolina that biden-harris officials claim could not be served by starlink. i mean, so that is what's going on. regular americans are stepping up and stepping into the breach to help when there's a big pushback against what the federal government is doing. the federal government is saying we're hearing that the fede

we are going to rural pennsylvania and laying out a plan for rural america. let's talk about some of the things in there. 100 million americans will see a tax cut. i passed the largest tax cut in minnesota history, not for the rich but for the middle class. they are doing just fine and this idea of price gouging and cost of pharmaceuticals. you saw it down here and we saw it in florida, a hurricane is coming and all after sudden airline prices went up. that is not capitalism but price gouging. and for insulin capping it at 35 that is life and death. al ex smith aged out of his patients' insurance at 26 which we need to keep in the a.c.a., but alex started rationing his insulin and his mom had to come to the state capital and said we will not leave until we fix this of $35 medicine that costs five bucks to manufacture. now vm very excited, we have a pretty young crowd here, and that's good. [cheers and applause] those of you who look like me and little less gray, you don't think about medicare and social security. the greatest antipoverty programs this country

it is a guy who was born in rural america in a county in nebraska that boasts more cows than people. he's often said there were 25 people in his high school graduating class, 12 of them were his cousins. he served in the national guard for 24 years. started out as a high school social studies teacher and football coach, then turned congressman, ultimately governor of minnesota. but many people affectionately still call him coach walz. many people will remember seeing some of the members of that high school state championship team that he coached that went on stage during the dnc this summer. that's also when we saw his wife gwen, another long titime teach his daughter hope, as well as his son gus who captured hearts with his emotions in saying, "that's my dad." while we're talking about the nerves, this is somebody who has debated multiple times in congress and when he was a governor. also, he used to host debate nights for high school teachers to talk about current events. >> don't underestimate high school debate teams. in the meantime, jd vance, again, it's like the battle of the

in 2008, obama called rural america, bitter klinger's., hillary called them a basket of deplorable's. in 2020 biden called you a threat to democracy. and now democrats are calling their own voters, who they think they own, sexist, russian plants. but here's the catch. the media is amplifying the democrats attacking their own side. democrats expect to be criticized by republicans but not by other democrats. it stings. especially after the democrats have done very little for black american in the last decade. adding insult to injury. when the machine loses control, it can't operates. everything needs to be clicking on all cylinders. it is not. widen should have lost the election honorably and the machine would have been able to regroup for the next cycle. but democrats cannot accept not being in power. and therefore, they had the coup and the kamala coronation. both acts of desperation have exposed the parties dark underbelly for the whole country to see. and it is turning off more democrats, more than any biden loss would have. >>> podcast
