Hey Michael Steel Podcast listeners, Michael Steel here with another quick take from the Michael Steel Podcast.

Check out what's going on right now.

Welcome back everybody. This is a great conversation. I'm sitting here. I don't even have to put anything in my coffee today.

So I'm really, I'm just living, I'm just living off the vibe from Tim and Don and and Jen right now.

Jen Socky former White House press secretary under President Biden and the host of inside with Jen Socky on MSNBC Don Callaway and attorney democratic strategist and contributor and one of my colleagues as it's a contributor at MSNBC and of course my old friend Tim Miller,

a great large of the bull work MSNBC political analyst, former political director for Republicans, Republican voters against Trump and communications director for Jeff Bush.

All back in the barbershop beauty salon with us having a great conversation. So before we went to break.

Don you'd opened up a little bit before you made your last point this idea about the white voters out there.

Jen, you talked about that connection to, you know, to folks out there and how it all kind of comes together.

The reality of it is when we're when we're looking at the, the Rama Swamis and and others who are emerging narratively in in the political space, you have this growing effort by a majority of GOP candidates.

This includes Tim Scott and Nikki Haley, people of color, making an appeal to GOP white conservative base voters and even non GOP white conservative base voters and how they've downplayed the existence of racism in the country.

And narratively sidestepped or ignored the bullshit educational policies out of Florida right now where, oh, guess what, my great granddaddy actually got job skills from being a slave.

How does this approach impact those voters out there?

How do they see, you know, and read this Tim, you, you sit in a lot of, of, you know, focus groups and working, as you just said, in the field, at various party events.

What are you hearing and seeing out there with this ongoing narrative around race that seems to excite a lot of white folks and potentially could depress a win next year.

Yeah, I'll be fast. I've won a negative and a positive on this front. Here's the negative Vivek, I think is a prime example.

Nikki and Tim Scott do this too, but in a less obnoxious way. So I don't know if you all know this, but Vivek has his 10 commandments, his 10 truths, you know, he ends every speech with them.

And one of his 10 truths, truths big, big people aren't watching on YouTube, big air quotes here is reverse racism is racism.
