“We heard that talk a few times, but really doubling down in terms of how do we have practical impact on the ground so that You don't have someone in Trump saying black unemployment, Latino unemployment, lowest in history, et cetera, et cetera. The reality is what we did in the Obama administration when I was there and so many others were there is what contributed to the causes of making this progress. And so it is important that we do talk about those issues very clearly, very succinctly. But equally, though, I do not think we can ignore that you have to be forceful and clear and demonstrative when you're running against the bully.” (05:48–06:05)
