Afternoon all. Our good friend, Rep. Adam Smith, Ranking Member of the House Armed Services came by a live discussion earlier today. A recording and transcript of our conversation are above.
I asked to Rep. Smith to drop by and report in on how House Democrats were seeing things on day three of the Trump shutdown. And I will say this - I’ve known Rep. Smith for almost thirty years and this was perhaps the most fired up I’ve ever seen him. In our discussion you can feel his outrage over the damage Trump is doing to the country and our democracy; you can feel his determination to keep the Congressional Dems together and win this critical fight; and you can feel the sense of righteousness Congressional Dems have right now for they know their cause is just, they are winning the argument with Trump and the Republicans, and are excited to finally be in the fight we all knew we needed to have with our reckless and dangerous leader.
So enjoy this timely conversation with one of our most important leaders in the House. It will lift you up as we head into weekend, and put a little extra fuel in your tank for the many battles ahead.
Keep working hard all. We are in the fight we all wanted to have, and now we need to win it, together - Simon
