38:51Now PlayingAs ICE rips apart entire apartment buildings, federal agents rappel in our cities from Black Hawks, and Russell Vought continues his purge, some people are standing up — but not enough. For decades, Democrats and Republicans alike have clung to a system more interested in self-preservation than service, where “leadership” too often means defending the status quo rather than challenging it. But, for a million reasons, when Trump speaks, his people believe that he’s the only one actually working on their behalf.
Democrats, on the other hand, speak clearly — sometimes eloquently — but nobody believes them. Why would we? They decry an immoral budget, and still let it pass. They talk about the growing fascist state, but fail to break the glass.
We should be thinking of the world we want to build, not just the regime we need to tear down.
Antonio Delgado, New York’s lieutenant governor and now gubernatorial candidate, says his own party has lost touch with working people, trading vision for survival, and inspiration for inertia. But there’s still time to change — and if we’re going to get through this, something has to change.
Don’t miss Delgado talking about why he’s challenging New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, how the Dems can/should do better, and how blue states can stand up to Trump.
