Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi, who represents a Long Island district that Donald Trump also won, argues that the real election mandate was for border security, reducing the cost of living, and makes the case for turning down the volume on the culture wars—but not accepting one-party rule. Suozzi talks with John about where he thinks Dems can work with Republicans and which areas are non-negotiable, including on climate and the environment. Plus, what happened to Trump’s big promises on Ukraine and the hostages, and how some ’80s movies help explain the challenges facing the middle class.
