Christmas trees, scattered out,
I saw them time to bring them
in before we do that lets bring in
before we do that lets bring in
in in in Ben Domenech.
Im, not sure how this informs us
on that. This is Joe Bidens
potential presumptive all White
House Communication team, which
is all females.
We can show you on down the
list. You can see other members
as well.
Symone Sanders will be speaking
for Kamala Harris.
What do you make of this Ben?
How does this reflect on
potential divide between
progressive side and democratic
Party
Ben? I have to say first off
good to start with fake news
this morning in part, because
this Washington, post depiction
of Biden having this all female
communications team is being
unprecedented event runs reality
that today in White House we
have communications, team, thatS
dominated by women.
What youre actually seeing them
here is them trying to use this
type of step to cover up for the
fact that progressives are
actually going to be pushed
aside by the Biden
administration in large part,
they are going to hold up the
fact that hey, we are checking
all diversity. Boxeslet not pay
attention to the fact that
Symone Sanders should have been
press secretary after all the
work she did during the campaign,
but she has more progressive
views. People know that
shes going with Kamala. Instead,
this is going somebody to go
that you see throughout the
administration with employments,
where you have a cabinet
secretary. Who is going to be
someone that the progressives
really like that the Sanders
wing of the party pushed for and
they get old swamp contractor
coming back to have another go
at it.
Progressives are actually
being pushed aside, Steve
Steve. Let us ask you about
this.
We saw last week Ben the
the potential names in the
cabinet and including his
national security team, and I
think weve got a graphic that
shows some of the selections there. They are right there
there they are right there.
You have the news that Neera
Tanden could possibly run the o
OMB, which prompted senator
rather Senator Cornyn from
Texas, his spokesperson that
theres zero chance that she
will get confirmed by the
Senate so and Tom cotton in
fact, tweeted this out Joe
Biden we wanted to unify the
country but picked national
security team thats weak on
China.
We saw the faces right there,
DHS nominee, who sold visas per
powerful political friend and
partisan hack hes, referring to
Neera Tanden called Susan
Collins, the worst for OMB.
So much for unity, Ben
Ben theres, a lot of bad blood
for Neera Tanden
shes had poignant words for the
right and a lot of people.
Remember it.
They view center for american
progress, an entity that, in twenty sixteen,
was dedicated, ensuring success
of Hillary Clinton, preventing
success of Bernie Sanders and
preventing the rise of a lot of
the justice Democrats.
Neera Tanden is a controversial
person for a lot of reasons, not
just statements about republican
politicians.
I think shes going to be a
tough person to get in such a
significant role.
Ainsley Ben theres. A story
makes headlines in Atlanta
because the latest spider man
needs to be filmed so Marvel is
paying, because schools are losed in some areas, a lot of people
in some areas, a lot of people
are upset. Why are you letting filming in schools
filming in schools?
What do you think Ben its been a great time,
its been a great time
to work in big tech?
People have been able to figure
out ways to deal with the
challenge of this virus, and
people discovered one of the
things that we should takeaway
being a good thing that they
dont have to fear a lot for
their kids.
Do I view this as a situation
that really needs to be
mitigated and has to be
mitigated now, because kids will
be suffering in a significant
way already from having
essentially a lost year and the
fact that this will drift
further and further into next
year as well. It will create a
whole generation of kids who
will be set behind in a
significant way.
Its total failure on our part
to not address this and the
failure of governmental
leadership to stand up to the
teachers union is apparent to a
lot of parents
here here.
The individuals who suffered the
most, but the poorest amongst us,
suffered the most from the types
of shutdowns Ben good. To see
you again, thanks for being with
us
Ben, you left the cowboys out of
your NFL update.
I dont know why you did that
weird
your chance to get with me
was Friday and not Monday
Ben you got beat by one legged,
quarterback,
wonderful, comeback story,
Ben, absolutely
Ainsley. I thought you were from
South Carolina. Someone told me
that
I grew up in Virginia
ive, been here ever since I was a teenager and will knows where
a teenager and will knows where
my affiliations
Peter. We booked him to talk
about politics, but he just wanted to talk about sports.
