Can you speak to this?
44:46
Yes, well, of course, Trump is gutting FEMA, and he just made a statement that the states are going to have to take care of their own repairs.
44:54
What can you say except this president is the most irresponsible, and I'm going to use the word you used, treasonous president, and there needs to be an accountability.
45:04
Now, what's going to happen on Election Day is what's critical.
45:06
There will be, in my judgment, a massive Democratic victory.
45:10
But the point is, the president remains in power.
45:14
He has two more years on his term.

So so tell me what might happen in terms of the war as a result of that threat and this election coming up.
39:20
Now, please, sir.
39:21
Well, you and I agree completely, but remember, turn your memory back to 2016.
39:28
If you remember, after the election, Donald Trump said, three million illegals voted in the California election, and that's the reason why he lost the state of California.
39:39
And then, people don't remember, he put Vice President Pence as chairman of a commission to investigate voter fraud.
39:48
Do you know how often that commission met? once and did it ever turn anything up no and this is the kind of bogus nonsense where i regret to say that i agree with you i think that donald trump and his administration are poised to challenge the results when we meet again in three weeks we'll meet before then of course but the election results will be in and i want to remind you that the justice department is sending 1,000 inspectors across the country to identify voter fraud.
40:20
And although the military assures us they have no plans to put troops into action, the Department of Homeland Security seems poised to do just that.
40:31
This is not only the most corrupt administration in history, you must have listened to my podcast this morning, but it's also an administration like none other in threatening democracy.

May I assure you of
15:00
Give me some general thoughts, and then I have a follow-up or two.
15:03
The trauma is tremendous.
15:05
All of Israel was affected by the attack and Hamas continues to call for Israel's annihilation, destruction.
15:13
And so there is in Israel a sense of deep frustration.
15:17
Not only that, the demonization of Israel, the charge of genocide and apartheid continues to echo.
15:25
But fortunately, I believe a majority of the world understands Israel is fighting for its existence.
15:29
I would remind you, Mark, if Israel put down its arms Hamas would destroy them immediately.
17:07
But generally speaking, and this is I get when I talk about reputational damage, the pariah nation status that Israel is quickly getting is associated with that response.

Connected diagnostics and also quicker diagnostics in the US case in your report.
18:14
Yeah, exactly.
18:17
I can build on what Bhargav said, you know, to say that.
18:22
I think it means a big shift for manufacturers to go in addition to what they've been doing historically, which I think has been heavily focusing on the HCP and the health care provider systems and networks.
18:37
to really engaging even much more closely with the patient themselves.
18:41
What do I mean by that? Historically, I'll think with my pharma hat on, pharmaceutical companies have focused a lot of time and energy on trying to get the right prescriptions for the right patients through the HCP.
18:59
But as we saw from our report, 29% of those prescriptions never even get filled.

I'm thinking of your project with UCB to illustrate that.

16:23
Mm-hmm.
16:23
We will see, frankly, nominations to the United States Supreme Court that will be confirmed by a Republican Senate, uh, no matter how narrow the margin may be.
16:33
And so all efforts should be made to capture the United States Senate.
16:38
The House of Representatives also needs to be in Democratic hands.
16:42
And let me just say very clearly, what the Republicans are doing with this redistricting, not even in a 10-year cycle now, they're interrupting the 10-year cycle, is to me one of the most shocking things of all.
16:56
And we talked off the air about the fact that when you have an expression used like, "Get your rotten hands off Virginia, cotton-picking hands off Virginia," we got a problem.
17:14
And by the way, that was a statement made by a host.

23 MINS LATER

39:51
How would you recommend going a- about that when it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with voting in November?
17:08
It's not as though the, the, he has a redlining power, doesn't he, John?
17:13
Who is governor of California matters.
17:14
Of course, he has a red line, but more than that, the governor places people in appointed positions and also nominates people for jobs.
17:23
You know, the governor of California is an incredibly powerful spot, and if you stop and think about it, virtually every person who has been governor of California since Earl Warren has been a considered candidate for president or vice president of the United States.
17:37
So who is president matters tremendously.
17:40
For Donald Trump, the endorsement that he has made of Steve Hilton is critical.
17:45
If Hilton emerges as one of the top two, the Republicans are going to do everything they can to stop Tom Steyer.
18:48
Swalwell is done, right, John?
