The Democratic Party needs to not content itself with being the party of the urban core.

Whatever you want to say about Trump, and there's a lot to say, when he ran, one thing he did,

I will give him credit for is he looked at these people in blue collar small towns and he said,

you know what, your lives are important.

Your problems exist and I'm going to help them.

Now he hasn't helped them and he's full of it and he doesn't care about them.

But at least he acknowledged them and we in the Democratic Party do not acknowledge them way too often.

I don't think it's out of maliciousness.

I just don't think there are very many Democrats who know about places like this.

I mean, there are not too many shared browns and so you don't hear voices like mine.

When's the last time you heard outside of James Carville a Southern twang representing the Democratic Party?

And I'm living proof that if you speak to folks, they will listen because no one's going

to mistake me for like someone, you know, who, I mean, maybe they would like to appreciate.

But you want to have someone that you have.

You have, you come off as someone who genuinely cares and most importantly, you don't come off as someone

who thinks they're better.

A lot of this is in places like Kentucky, we are worried that you and the rest of the country look down at us.

We are worried that you think we're stupid, that you think we don't know how to do anything.

And when someone talks to us like that, we turn them off.

They're done. Forget it.

I am thrilled to welcome the Yang Speaks.

Someone who's a force of media nature and his own right, Matt Jones, the founder of Kentucky Sports Radio, New York Times best selling author of the book, Mitch, please, about Mitch McConnell and his native Kentucky graduate of Duke University and Transylvania University, which I confess I did have to look up.
