‘So Desperate’
J
10:34Jane KleebGUEST
Even Lynn Walls has a shot of winning governors.
J
10:37Jane KleebGUEST
So we are winning in places that you wouldn't normally think Democrats can because Ken Martin's strategy at the DNC of organizing everywhere to win anywhere is... actually working.
L
10:49Luke RussertHOST
You mentioned desperation.
L
10:51Luke RussertHOST
And the mark of desperation, at least for me, is someone who goes up on stage and says, if you vote for me, I'll give you $5,000.

S2 Ep176: Sarah Longwell's Message for Everyone Who Thinks We’re Doomed (w/ Andrew Weissmann)
S
31:06Sarah LongwellHOST
That's like who gets to center, which voices they don't want to work on Fridays.
S
31:10Sarah LongwellHOST
Like Ken Martin, like one of these Ken Martin's like, well, people from the DNC need to come back to work.
S
31:15Sarah LongwellHOST
And they're all like, we are in revolt.
S
31:16Sarah LongwellHOST

Episode 606 - Doom & Loomer (w/ Max Blumenthal)
M
69:59Max BlumenthalGUEST
But you should know that they didn't vote for you because of that.
M
70:03Max BlumenthalGUEST
And I think now it's well understood within the party elite, with Ken Martin at the DNC covering up aspects of the internal review of the 2024 defeat, that that's a reason they lost.
M
70:17Max BlumenthalGUEST
And so this needs to be reinforced again and again And that's all I can advocate for.
M
70:22Max BlumenthalGUEST
But I'm not really an advocate.
Wired In: RNC Day 2 - Midterm Dividends, Charlie Kirk & POTUS Center Stage
B
12:49Brent ScherPANELIST
The fundraising in the Democrat Party right now is better to some of these socialist groups.
B
12:54Brent ScherPANELIST
The party under Ken Martin is a disaster.
B
12:57Brent ScherPANELIST
It has no money.
B
12:59Brent ScherPANELIST
So this event that we are at right now is the Republicans and Trump's political team are viewing it as the kickoff of election season.
‘Where’s the Money Going?’
S
18:34Symone Sanders-TownsendHOST
Does the Democratic National Committee have the money that the RNC has at this point? No, but they don't have it because they spent it.
S
18:39Symone Sanders-TownsendHOST
And so Ken Martin did raise a lot of money.
S
18:41Symone Sanders-TownsendHOST
Now, there are people that say they wish he could raise some more right now.
S
18:44Symone Sanders-TownsendHOST
That's that's valid.

We're going to spend $6 in the back room of an Arby's.
J
1:12Jesse LehrichHOST
As you know, I'm not one to hand it to Ken Martin.
J
1:14Jesse LehrichHOST
But I do think he low-key tricked Donald Trump into throwing a giant
R
1:18Rob FlahertyHOST
Donald Trump party and making all of the Republicans spend $25,000.
R
1:23Rob FlahertyHOST
campaign cash to attend his I'm so unpopular party.
R
1:27Rob FlahertyHOST
That is an unbelievable and completely plausible theory.
R
1:30Rob FlahertyHOST
Ken Martin, Jedi mind trick.
R
1:32Rob FlahertyHOST
Donald Trump.
Trump Torches ABC News as "the Worst of All" for Suggesting GOP Candidates Are Dodging Convention
H
20:08Hyma MooreGUEST
So I think it's, as an incumbent party, it's different for them, but as the Democrats right now, it would not be smart to do.
H
20:14Hyma MooreGUEST
But I do think Ken Martin, he was on CNN earlier talking about this, he's gotta find ways to get more money in the door.
H
20:20Hyma MooreGUEST
He's gotta find ways to make sure that these, the state parties, the coordinated campaigns can, can do what they need to do to counteract what's gonna happen in the next two weeks, and that's what I'm afraid of right now.
H
20:31Hyma MooreGUEST
I just don't know where they're gonna be able to find that level of support to counteract, uh, what's about to happen.

Allison, thank you very much for being here.
K
24:05Kasie HuntHOST
All right, coming up next here, Democrats say they're a big-tent party, but how far can the tent stretch before it starts to impact crucial battleground races? DNC chief Ken Martin is next.
K
24:16Kasie HuntHOST
[upbeat music] [whoosh] With just under eight weeks to go until election day, President Trump has never been more unpopular, but headed into the campaign's final stretch, Republicans have a huge cash advantage, as their midterm convention kicks off tonight.
Democrat Ex-Candidate Checks Destiny On Campaign Financing
D
55:01DestinyHOST
But if you have a media environment that's constantly stabbing you in the back and is never getting up with anything, it's like jesus it's so hard to make anything work whereas in the right wing bro you could be anybody and these guys will welcome you with open arms as long as you're carrying the party line and you know i use the backing band analogy you could be a shitty player but if you've got a good backing band you always sound good and you can be an amazing player and if you've got a shitty backing band you're going to sound horrible um it's like having that apparatus working behind you like i do feel like there's been such a huge failure in the mainstream and the alternative media space in making any of this stuff work.
D
55:31DestinyHOST
And it's, yeah, it's frustrated me a lot because sometimes, like I'm not here to simp for, you know, like Ken Martin in the DNC or for any particular politician, Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries or anybody, but like the left wing is just so, the moderate left is just so, and it's funny because people on the right will say we're not, but they'll be like, these guys are all sycophants for themselves.
D
55:51DestinyHOST
They're all communists.
D
55:52DestinyHOST
We're not, we're so self-critical.
D
56:13DestinyHOST
The entire Republican apparatus came together and agreed to just not talk about this dude at all.
D
56:18DestinyHOST
And my God, dude, if we could get like one 10th of that on the left for any of our people, but me, Meanwhile, it's like Jeffries needs to go.
D
56:25DestinyHOST
Ken Martin needs to go.
D
56:26DestinyHOST
Schumer needs to go.
