On things like the keystone pipeline, if you said singlepayer health care cannot happen, you are too far to the right of the Democratic Party to be the standardbearer. Given those policy positions, why should liberal democrats support you and not senator sanders . Mrs. Clinton i am a progressively gets things done. The root of the word progressive is progress. I have heard senator sanders comments. It has caused me to wonder who is left in the progressive wing of the party . Under his definition, president obama is not progressive because he took donations from wall street. Vice President Biden is not because of the court he supported keystone. Great senator Paul Wellstone would not fit this definition because he voted for doma. We have differences. Honestly, i think we should be talking about what we want to do for the country. If were going to get into labels, i dont think it was progressive to vote against the brady bill five times. I dont think it was progressive to give gun sellers immunity. It wasnt present to vote against ted kennedys immigration reform. We can go back and forth like this. The fact is, most people watching tonight wants to know what weve done and what we will do. That is why i am laying out a specific agenda that will make progress, get more jobs with rising incomes, get us to universal health care coverage, get us to universal prek, paid family leave, and the other elements of what i think will build a Strong Economy that will ensure that americans making progress. That is what im offering. That is what i will do as president. Senator sanders . How do you establish a list of what needs to be a progressive . Sen. Sanders no, not at all. Here is the reality of American Economic life today. The reality is we have one of the lowest voter turnout of any major country on earth, because sony people have given up on the political process. The reality is, there has been trillions of dollars of wealth going from the middle class in the last 30 years to the top 1 10th of 1 . The reality is that we have a corrupt Campaign Finance system which separates the american peoples needs and desires from what congress is doing. To my mind, what we have got to do is wage a political revolution. Where millions of people have given up on the political process, stand up and fight back, demand the government that represents us and not just a handful of campaign contributers. The ideas that im talking about they are not radical ideas. Making public colleges and universities tuition free that exist in countries all of the world. It used to exist in the u. S. Rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and creating 13 millions jobs by doing away with tax loopholes that large byporations now enjoy putting their money into the Cayman Islands and other tax havens that is not a radical idea. What we need to do is to stand up to the big money interests and campaign contributors. When we do that, we can in fact transform america. [applause] betty we continue with charlies interview. Bowien is named rising star chef of the year from the James Beard Foundation in 2013. His new book is called the Mission Chinese cookbook. I am pleased to have danny bowien at this table. Danny i am pleased to be here. Charlie david chang is god around here. This is what he said any forward to this book. I tried his food in San Francisco before coming to new york. To be honest, i was upset this guy was doing something i wanted to do forever. But i got over my anger relatively quickly when i saw how well he was executing it. Danny is genuinely innovative in how he thinks about chinese cooking. [laughter] danny he is amazing. He was instrumental in me getting over a lot of fear of opening in new york. You look at this guy was just going for it. It definitely helped when you come to new york and he signs off on Something Like that. It was crazy. It was scary. Its exciting and scary. Then you just get down to it and do it. Charlie that is all it is. Danny it is really tough. Charlie but new york is the toughest . Danny honestly, every market is tough to crack in its own ways. But i think new york is really tough. But it is so rewarding because it is so tough. Charlie it is the enchilada. Danny the enchilada grande. Charlie your story was adopted by parents from oklahoma, from korea. Danny i was three months old when i was adopted. I grew up in Oklahoma City. It was a great town. I love being from there. Charlie they have a great festival team. Basketball team. Danny they were not there when i was over there. I dont know any professional sports. My major was my mom was a major instruction.

Charlie you had a feeling for it, an instinct and it . Danny not really. I kind of enjoyed cooking, but it wasnt at the level of seriousness. I just liked making food. What i enjoyed the most was bringing people together. Having people together was important for me. Charlie what is your schedule like . Danny i have a twoyearold. It started to level out. I think having my son helped me learn that i cant work in a restaurant 90 hours a week. My schedule is usually my wife and i trade who wakes up with him on certain days. I wake with him up on monday, thursday, and friday to go to daycare. He starts to sleep later, around 6 00. Taken to daycare, go to work, check in with the first restaurant. Charlie whats the most surprising thing about being a father . Danny that it is difficult. [laughter] charlie thats not surprising. Danny any parent you know will say its difficult. Danny the most surprising thing about being a father in a positive way, lately ive found that no matter what stresses me in life, when you see your child, its amazing how uplifting that is. Charlie here is my comment on that. When you get married, you find someone whose life is as important as yours. When you have a child, you find someone whose life is more important than yours. Danny yeah, totally. You said it. Its so true. I found myself in a lot of ways. Things about myself that i did not know. I had feelings i did know i have before. I had before. Being adopted, my parents are the ones i grew up with they are my parents. But i felt this connection with my son lately. Charlie i had not thought about that, adopted parents. You feel something about the blood thing differently. Danny it is kind of crazy. It is really amazing. Its my family. Charlie so you want more. Danny i dont know about that. [laughter] new york is tough anywhere is tough. One is good for now. Charlie whats interesting roar your career, did you out of Oklahoma City into sentences into San Francisco . Danny i would say i rushed. Charlie you wanted to go do things. Danny yeah, definitely. Charlie what was that thing you wanted to . You wanted to be somebody . Danny i wanted to get out of oklahoma. I do not really attend college. I try to do and it was not for me. I played music. I was in a band for a long time. The band broke up. I do not have much. I was working for an optometrists office. I thought i wanted to be an eye doctor. The school thing and i dr. , you have to do those and eye doctor, you have to do those two things together. That i went to check out a culinary school. You have always been interested in food, why dont you check it out . I went there for five days. I was hooked. But not only on culinary school, but just that San Francisco was amazing city. But yes, i did rush out of oklahoma. Charlie this is what anthony boarding has said about you. Mostly firstgeneration immigrants from asia or changing, redefining, and defining forever what american cuisine really is. Danny that is nuts. This is crazy for me to hear, ch eng and bourdain. Charlie they think you have got something. Danny i mean, they have something for sure. Charlie but they think you have got something. Danny i think i have something too, finally. Charlie did success prove it to you . Danny i think success prove it to me. I think failure printed to you failure proves it to you, too. Bourdain and cheng, it gets me every time. Charlie what is it that draws these people do you . You share something. Danny it is a nonsmoking thing. We are all chefs. It is a nonspoken thing. We are all created. With them and me, i have no idea. Six years ago, i was just reading about these guys. They were my idols. They still are. Charlie you are there ido are their idol. Danny no, i am their friend. It takes me a second i never got the chance to soak it all in or realize what it is. Its nuts. Charlie you know what i say . Keep at it, work hard, enjoy it. That is the secret. Danny thats the important thing, enjoying it. Actually giving yourself the time to process everything. Charlie heres the other thing. Sustained youve difficulties along the way. Danny yeah, totally. Charlie you come here and start Mission Chinese. And what happens . Danny well, a lot of good things happen. [laughter] but a lot of bad things happen. We were opening a restaurant in new york for the first time anywhere. From date one it was difficult. When we got shut down by the health of government was the most difficult thing. We were near to operating. There was no excuse. We could limit on the building or the landlord or the tenants. Could blame it on the building or the landlord with the tenants. It was eyeopening, for having someone to come in and say that we are closing the restaurant. For structural issues, for health code violations. That was crazy. It happened once, and then a second time. Right after we reopened, we rushed to reopen, just because we did not know what to do. We tried our best bring the building up to code. Now we are in a new space, were good. But we tried to reopen there. We said that is is, we were having trouble with the building. We stopped for a while. Assion chinese was closed for year. It brings after a while it was like wow, this is happening. It made you appreciate it. It took a while. Called theon i asrst person that called me w renee rosett. He says, whats going on . I was doing an event in San Francisco. Charlie and he is in copenhagen. Danny he just calls me on the phone. I did not even have his phone number. He says, are you ready . And i said, for what . And he said, i dont know, they are going for you. You have to be ready. They see you are wounded. You are the nicest guy and you have all the success, but they are going to come for you. Make sure you are Strong Enough to handle it, and that you are resilient enough to come back. Worldhe best chef in the tells you that, it makes it a bit easier to know that you have the support of your friends. Charlie somebody knows where you are. Danny yeah. And that helped out. Efter that happened ther was no question we were going to get back on her feet again. Charlie what about today . The campaign a success as. Campaign is a success. Danny i feel like today is a success. I have a beautiful family. I made it through everything. We are successful. Charlie are the people in Oklahoma City thrilled to death . Danny i hope so. Every time i go back, it is great. Were going to do a book tour in a couple months. Charlie talk about the book, the Mission Chinese cookbook. You call it a dialogue about food. Danny we started writing this book three years ago. Charlie you and christine. Chris ying. Danny yes, before i moved to new york. We were opening a new restaurant here. The book was sold then. Anthony boarding anthony bourdain. Through anthony bourdain. The good thing about doing this book, anthony said we were great, just do whatever you want. It took three years to write because the restaurant closed. Writing that book, we opened the restaurant, close to twice, reopened two restaurants. It is a dialogue about what Mission Chinese food is. We wanted to keep track of what was happening. Charlie what is Mission Chinese food . Danny my life . [laughter] we wanted to keep a journal for ourselves. Just to keep track of everything happening. Charlie i have alluded to this. What followsin, is not just a cookbook. Yes there are recipes for some of the most dangerous, flavor packed dishes you are ever likely to find, yes. But its also a uniquely american story about how to do everything wrong and have it end up brilliantly, gloriously right. That is your story. Danny very kind words. That sums it up, though. It is true. Getting all success we had out of the gate and losing a lot of that success it could have gone really badly. It is an amazing story. I am happy that i am here. Charlie you still love to cook. Danny i love to cook still. It got kind of dark for a minute. When i found that when everything seems wrong, i can just cook. Everything can give you going wildly wrong my life, but if i can just cook, everything seems ok. That is what is beautiful about food and cooking. For me, it really centers me. Charlie thank you for coming. Danny no, thanks for having me. Charlie danny bowien, back in a moment. Stay with us. There is no more Venerable Institution in american politics vein enhancer primary. 100 years old, and since 1952, it is been essential to the nomination of the most all president s. Predicting the outcome of New Hampshire and what do these independentminded voters will do is about as safe as picking the winner of the lottery. But next tuesday, New Hampshire will somehow shake up and shape the 20 16th president ial race. Charlie, we are with 3 people that have the mind and heart of over 50 Years Experience with his wonderful primary. The editor of the main test the manchester union, the largest newspaper in the state. They have endorsed Chris Christie in this primary. Sullivan, former cochair of the Democratic Party in New Hampshire, with lots of fruits in the state. A Hillary Clinton supporter. Tim roth the former attorney general and former everything, who is a john kasich reporter. Thank you all for joining us. Why New Hampshire . What is the value of having the first primary here, john . Joe the answer is why not . But the involvement, the civic involvement of people. We will have 7075 vote. These folks take this very seriously. Its not a republican or democrat thing. It is our most prized political process. Nobody else will spend not just the week between iowa and New Hampshire, but the time between they leave and the next one, starting the field, getting to know the field. It is one thing to show up the week before. Six months ago they were Running Events in july. Before taking time out to go. It was a smart, informed inv olved, very engaged. Al the old line, are you going to vote for me next tuesday . Ive only met you 34 times. Kathy it is a small state and candidates are forced to interact with voters. Once you leave New Hampshire, you go into a bubble. If you become president , you live in a bubble. Fortunately, people are not forced to act real, everyday voters the way they are in New Hampshire. If youre going to elect a leader, that leadership should have to talk to and learn from the voters. You have to do that in the venture. In New Hampshire. Any other state, where can you find some thing that on the sizemerica that you can get around and meet people . We talk about rotating regional primaries, in which case an underfunded candidate would have no chance whatsoever. It would all the tv. All be t. V. No retail politics. New hampshire gives them the chance to do that. I used to say that New Hampshire was the first place that voters could meet the candidate. Now its the last place where you get that physical contact. Al how different is it today than 50 years ago . Has the primary changed . Tom the influence of media is much greater. The predominance of polls has changed. We are being told now what the agenda is. Now they are saying, here all these things. Because of what the polls are saying, you are about to drop out. Joe and they are often wrong. I run the Ronald Reagan was upset about george h. W. Bush in iowa. He said he was going to lose New Hampshire big. Boy, did it be done in exchange over just a couple days. The dynamics changed because reagan showed himself to be a vital, virile guy. Very few people still catch on to this. He copped a great line from a Spencer Tracy movie in the 1940s. Paying for this microphone. But he pulled it off. Bushs strong, and george staff on stage not annoying sat on stage not knowing what to do. Campaignwas the last with your predecessor, william loeb. Boy, he really left a a footprint, shall we say. He was not shy. Joe i dont think it was his last. The Washington Post profiled him a week ago, saying that he endorsed a candidate seven years after he died. [laughter] so im waiting for him to endorse someone else. Al your paper is still very conservative. But its different than it was in the loeb era. Joe it does because we dont have william loeb. He was a oneofakind guy. One page editorials. Acronyms. Gene mccarthy, 1968, Whose Campaign was run by my dads cofounder of the New Hampshire sunday news. He was called by loeb on the front page a skunk. And a skunks skunk. As my father up to the antito where he was a
