A mix of newsmaker interviews, political analysis, cultural segments and media analysis. Fuel the future. And both of those approaches are american if you think of it in historical terms but only one of those approaches is patriotic. And i think what we want in our candidates and the candidates that i think are most exciting are the ones that are choosing the more patriotic path, the ones that are using that combustion to fuel the future. And theres a way to do that and there are many, many candidates who are showing it. I went out to visit collin allred, a wonderful young candidate, first time candidate in a Congressional District in north of dallas. He grew up in the district in modest background, went to baylor. Hes a lawyer. Hes working with his neighbors and his community. Hes talking to everybody, people who agree with him and people who dont. His first question is not whether youre a democrat. His first question is about who you are, tell me what you need. Tell me what youre looking for
the aca is a terrific idea. That kind of competition, that kind of innovation is enormously important and medicare is a popular highly efficient way to deliver health care that is affordable and effective to everybody. And that ought to be the aim. How do we get universal Affordable Care to everyone. That is something that democrats support and i think weve seen at least in this administration and frankly from republicans over the last several years that is something fundamentally they do not believe in. We ought to call that question in the midterms and beyond. Another major Sticking Point in your party has emerged in calls to o abolish i. C. E. Take a listen to President Trump last night. A vote for troys opponent is a vote for open borders which equals massive crime. Like they dont care about it. They dont care about the crime. The new platform of the Democrat Party is to abolish i. C. E. And
lets not worry about crime. Really . Doesnt work that way. Do you support the abolishment of i. C. Snerks. First of all, i think what the president says is littsilly exaggeration, i guess that happens in politics from time to time. I think we clearly need we clearly need secure borders, theres not a single democrat i know or have heard about who talks about there are democrats calling for the abolishment and replacement of i. C. E. Though. We clearly need some alternative to the policies in i. C. E. Whether you call it i. C. E. Or something else, the sadistic policies and practices of i. C. E. Today have got to go. Separating families, the walking away from daca, the deportation of spouses of immigrants who serve in the military today. Really . Theres we are better than
that and you know, the opportunity to have comprehensive Immigration Reform has been on the table before there is bipartisan support for it. It needs to come back. We need to be serious about it. And the only reason that it doesnt happen today is because i believe our president wants to keep it as an open wound so he can rally his base or the extreme of his base around it for political reasons. You call for the abolishment of the policies dictating i. C. E. , thats not the same thing as calling for the abolishment of i. C. E. , should i interpret that to say we need to change Immigration Policies . We need somebody to do the job of i. C. E. Whether we keep it as in the name of i. C. E. Or give that assignment to some other agency with a different name is not as important to me. We need better policies. I think the name of the agency is less important than getting the policies right and what we have today are the wrong policies and wrong practices. Let me ask you two and three
democratic voters say democrats if they win the house should begin the Process Of ImpeachingPresident Trump. Thats according to a recent poll. Would you support that . Yeah, if the grounds are there, then that we should provide. I think theres a lot of basis to believe the grounds are there. But i dont think thats a first order of business. I think first order of business is acting as real check on this president , having doing the job that the constitution requires and expects, that is not happening with the house today. And theres an awful lot of policy and legislative business that is going undone today because we cannot get bipartisan or nonpartisan behavior out of the house today because of the extreme behavior of a small number small minority small but vocal minority of the republican the Republican Party in the house. Thats got to change. Governor patrick, stay with us, we have more to talk about with you, including whether or not you are ready to take onPresident Trump when all of the nicknames that might come with that in 2020.

deval patrick, being talked about as a possible 2020 president ial candidate. Governor, you now work at bain capitals double Impact Division which focuses on social progress. Corey booker and gillibrand met with workers right groups about targeting private equity firms such as bain capital, that would force the firms like bain to fund severance packages. Do you find thats a good idea . It might be. I want to look at that legislation. You know, circumstances are different. Not every deal works and not every company succeeds. That happens in markets and thats not always because of private equity. I think i dont know senator gillibrand but do know senator booker and know hes smart enough to understand that. Im having a terrific time in this fund that we launched. Its a fund that invests in companies in order to drive social and Environmental Impact and its part of this Impact Investing industry or trend. One of my partners describes Impact Investing as the laboratory where capitalists work to reform capitalism. I think were doing a lot of good. And were trying to demonstrate you dont have to trade return for impact. I think were off to a terrific start. I know when mitt romney was attacked for his association with bain capital in 2012, i know you didnt personally criticize bain back then. But given the way that the Democratic Party went after bain during that race and the way that Hillary Clinton faced so much criticism from the left for her speeches to Goldman Sachs in 2016, did you have any reservations at all about joining bain after leaving the
governors mansion . No. First of all, we dont have a mansion but thank you for that. Im just its a metaphor, yeah. I know. No, you know, ive excuse me, many long time friends at bain capital, people i know to be highly honorable folks. Mitt romney hasnt been there for decades now. And i am i describe myself as a capitalist. Im not a market fundamentalist. I i dont think markets solve every problem just the right way. But i do believe in opportunity. I think we need an economy that is expanding and is expanding out so it reaches people on the margins, not just up so its good for people who already have wealth and have just want more. And i think theres a right way and wrong way to do that. And i think Impact Investing is incredibly interesting and exciting way to participate in
growth capitalism. So no, i dont buy all of that. But look, ive never taken a job where ive left my conscience at the door and havent started now. You know democratic socialists asendant in your party and a lot of people on left have a national skepticism about you if you choose to run just because of everything you just said to me about your belief in capitalism. Does that concern you at all about fact that there are going to be so many skeptical of you on the left if you choose to run . Well, first of all, jake, thank you but Dont Interview me for 2020 yet, im not ready to be a candidate for 2020 but im used to skepticism. Ive been in i grew up in the south side of chicago and have had an extraordinary experience living the american dream. And as a black man in lots of
settings where i was not quote, supposed to be, youve got to know im accustomed to skepticism and i understand that a lot of people in a lot of settings have a bad habit of looking first at the cartoon of somebody and i have trained myself to look past the cartoon and understand how i have to invite people to look past the first cartoon they see of me. Thats part of campaigning. Should i go there as part of the experience i had in running for governor. I worked as you know i think you know, most of my life in the private sector before i ran for governor. Only run for one thing. And i had to encounter some of that the first time, first time around. As i said, i never left My Con She Shus at the door. Im proud of my record in business and in government. So i just leave it at that. You know that a lot of powerful members of obama world
including his Senior AdviserValerie Jarrett want you to run for president. You have reportedly spoken with former president obama about it. Does he want you to run . Everybody spoke to the former president about hes you know, its incredibly i mean this will sound maybe a little corny to you and some of your viewers, but as i said for a kid who grew up as i did, its mind blowing to have people speak seriously to me and about me that way. I wish my grandmother and mother were alive. They would be the ones who would probably be the least believing of Something Like this. Right now my focus is on the midterms as i said, helping in a small number of races where i can consistent with my day job. And on my fund which is doing
really well with the 14 colleagues i work with, to advance this mission and to continue to invest in these wonderful Lower Middle Market Companies around north america. Youve already said 2020 is on the radar and obviously not discounting it right now. I know you wont announce a decision today. When do you think you will make a decision about this, after the midterm . In due course really. You know, the speculation is isnt helpful. Its incredibly its incredibly touching and ive had messages and encouragement from all over the country and some from around the world from friends and from total strangers and its extraordinary. But im trying to keep my focus whereas i said on my fund and on
the small number of races where i where ive been invited to help and where i think i can be helpful. And i think its really, really important for everybody to get off the sidelines and get involved in the midterms in the ways that individuals can because if we get the government we deserve in a democracy. And if we want better government, if we want better representation, if we want if he want candidates who are focused on voters not just as a means to get or keep a job but as a means to have Government Help them help themselves, then we have to get involved in representatives who are trying to do the job that way. All right governor deval patrick, thank you for your time. Appreciate it. Good luck to you out there. Good to be with you, jake.

Welcome back to state of the uniunion, you would imagin warning coming from inside the white house could send the president directly to the Situation Room and told there was a serious response. Instead President Trump continued to call the russia investigation a democrat inspired witch hunt.
