How to appeal to this cohort, the people moving through colleges and coming out liberals, college educated voters who are moving away from us, lets just try to coerce these institutions with a possible threat of budget cuts into enforcing some kind of idealogical rugidity and litmus test. its particularly ironic for governor desantis who is in the state of florida, has been fairly daft as a political operator, appealing to some of the people donald trump has alienated. as of last month, more tha...

And ill quote here, require public universities and colleges to survey students, faculty and staff, about the beliefs and view points to support intellectual diversity. not lean that, hes gone on to suggest budget cuts could take place if schools are found to be, quote, indoctrinating their students. which is to imagine, if the surveys dont produce the right answers for desantis and his buddies. on its face, this is an outrageous use of power to surveil and threaten them, to punish them if they ...

Back without them. >> i dont doubt that is a real concern, but a real concern that has been directed at desantis does not make it a legitimate concern. one grounded in reality. and thats the distinction. chris, we have two things happening here. we have a campaign and a disinformation campaign. and you see the merging of these two things come together in the moral panic over critical race theory. right? so on one hand, you have the misinformation campaign, which mischaracterizes a legitimate sub...

Critical race theory. it will be issues around immigration and crime. and in large part, they will manufacture these anxieties and republicans will follow along. i find it fascinating that governor desantis said the premise of this is that parents worry about their kids going to college and being indoctrinated. i would suggest that if parents feel secure in their beliefs and in the beliefs they have instilled in their children, if they feel secure in the beliefs of their family, theyre okay with...

Theres a lot of things that keep people away from it. why did you want to run for office? >> the opportunities to make a difference here in maryland are unlimited. i want to run for governor. im running for governor because i want to make sure that every marylander can realize their full potential. i want to make sure that were punching above our weight as a state, not punching below our weight. the national reckoning on race, chris, is taking place here in maryland. and ive spent my entire life...

Kind of always in the eye of the beholder. i mean, desantis clearly does not think its indoctrination, a bad thing, to teach kids communism is bad as a state mandate. thats just education, right? i have no doubt the concern expressed here by governor desantis is real. heres what i mean, because there is something happening in american politics around education, higher education, that is one of the prime drivers of the politics of this moment. so first of all, theres the generational aspect which...

Unions. whats your answer to that? >> of course not. and im working with a law firm that is paul sar bains old law firm. he had a 100% labor record. im looking at the law firm that kamala harriss husband worked at for years. some people asked kamala whether she was going to be a challenge there. im working there part time, and frankly in a year when i win the governor race, then i will become a governor. and my record on union issues and my record for labor, im very proud today. we were at our r...
