vice president henry wallace called american fascism a layout that argument with marc anthony and scott greer and it's from. democrats democrats have a lot working in their favor right now for starters the president is wildly unpopular and congressional democrats aren't exactly in good graces with the american people either based on those two facts alone democrats have a real chance to win back the senate maybe even the house and twenty eighteen so why does it feel like democrats are squandering their big opportunity joining me now is larry cohen or chair of our evolution board chair of the democracy initiative larry welcome back pleasure great having you with us so the story that prompted my latest what the hell are they doing is this. bloomberg story that the d triple c. is trying to recruit blue dogs and it's like. you know i get it that there are blue dog democrats in the democratic party and i'm not and in and perhaps in some places in the country that's the entirely right and appropriate thing i do. we could that could be argued and it's debatable but i really don't think that america's

that i had trouble our marc anthony with the movement for black lives and scott greer deputy editor of the daily caller thank you both for being here with us tonight. it's great having thank you for having me thank you my pleasure so during an appearance in new york city this week to promote his new climate change documentary former president al gore and vice president al gore said he supports single payer health care. the private sector has not shown any ability to provide good exhaustible affordable health care for all i believe for example we ought to have a single payer health care so where was the media coverage on this if some former republican vice president or president had come out in favor of trump care there would have been wall to wall coverage mark. yeah you know i think we're in a moment we're seeing that plan and the administration right now on health care of their health care falling apart and i also think we're also in a moment where we need more imagination right and so the media's lack of coverage in some ways i think reflects the need for us to lean into bigger and

with the president is wrong or scott greer deputy editor at the daily caller and doug christian political commentator thank you both for being with us tonight great and you both with us so was support for trump hovering around twelve percent. republicans are now trying out a new poll tested frank luntz type talking point we're not taking away your health care they say we're giving you the choice to drop it or to pay extra to keep it it's all about freedom of choice the latest example of this came on thursday when texas senator john cornyn responded to a reporter on twitter who accused him of forcing twenty two million people to lose their health insurance by saying not lose choose so if the issue is choice isn't that actually an argument for single payer you get to choose any doctor you want any hospital you want any specific kind of therapy you want you have a million choices well this is just another sign the republicans are losing hugely on the health care issue and these kind of arguments are convincing anybody i mean it's only playing well with their donors and the people are already

joining us now, scott greer, author of the book "no campus for white men." than a pathetic excuse. what about you, scott? >> oh, it is absolutely a pathetic excuse. they always use these excuses every time they don't want a speaker speaking on campus, particularly with conservatives. berkeley used a similar excuse to prevent ann coulter from speaking in april. oh, there's security concerns. we don't have a proper venue to prevent the rioters from happening. and what's happening here is this is a writers' veto. they know there's going to be protests and angry demonstrations of shapiro or any other conservative, so they find these ways of preventing them there showing up such as we don't have a proper venue for you to speak at. this is another pathetic excuse that berkeley is using to silence conservatives. stuart: i thought that the tide was beginning to turn. not necessarily in california-berkeley, but elsewhere in the country. michigan has been considering a bill in the state legislature to ban safe spaces and trigger warnings, that kind of thing. have i got

and mike greer, founded instagram. and scott for staal who inois and you look at these tech companies and these people are symbolic systems majors and it complies logic, philosophy, math, computer science, and psychology. >> so pretty much stuff -- the hardest majors. >> yeah. i looked at the majors and ran away from it. >> sounds like a terrible idea. >> an incredible cross-section because you're forced to take philosophy and grapple with computer science and math and logic and this natural intersection. think it's created incredibly creative people that are behind the scenes in tech companies. as the new tools change probably a lot of intersection points where if we think about -- they've always existed. think if we look ating architec, it's esthetics and mathematics. was listen to a podcast on the train this morning and basically being able to identify music based on beats to a minute and it's basely a math problem. so music is a fuzzy sum but not really. behind the scenes it can be heavily mathematical. i don't think there's
