Summary

Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) joins Ana Marie Cox (@anamariecox) live at the Texas Tribune Fest in Austin. The two non-millionaires discuss race, the gubernatorial race for Florida, HBCUs, the dream of living regular conflicts, and reserving curse words in Texas for use by Beto. Then, AMC chats with Shani Curry Mitchell (@Shanic4da) who is running for District Attorney in New York’s Monroe County. Mitchell spent thirteen years as a prosecutor and during that time lost her sister to a tragic event. She's pushing for more progressive sentencing. Bit of housekeeping: We at Crooked Media are teaming up with Stacey Abrams for Fair Fight 2020. We’re trying to donate at least a million dollars towards her five million dollar goal.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Anna Marie Cox and welcome to With Friends Like These.
0:08.7	This is not a traditional politics show, except when Friend of the Pod Rick Wilson is on,
0:15.2	I try to avoid kind of traditional pun detizing and I like to think of this show as counter
0:20.7	programming to the kind of stuff you hear on cable news.
0:23.6	And that is one reason we rarely have politicians on.
0:29.2	The other reason we don't have a lot of elected officials on is they don't want to come
0:33.3	on.
0:34.3	A lot of them, most of them, are not up for the kinds of conversations we have on this show.
0:41.7	This week, however, is different.
0:44.8	Both my guests are politicians, neither of them are very traditional.

0:56.5	He is the former mayor of Tallahassee and arguably the most successful progressive candidate
1:02.2	of 2018, even though he did lose that race.
1:06.5	I interviewed him at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas and we talked about race
1:11.7	and that race and white liberals and how you can and can't avoid talking about race when

1:20.2	Second up is Shawnee Curry Mitchell.
1:21.9	She is running for district attorney in Monroe County in Rochester, New York.
1:26.3	And I will tell you a little bit more about her right before her segment, but coming right
1:31.1	up, Andrew Gillum.
1:33.3	I will introduce my guest, Andrew Gillum.
1:42.4	Hey everybody.
