Dave and Bob get together for a daytime recorded Thriving for the first time in months. After sharing gratitude, Bob goes off on corporate Democrats and their insipid actions and beliefs.  The Crew dives into the topic of zero-sum celebrations, which are celebrating wins and celebrating the loses of others.  They discuss how they see these ideas being socialized into children when the “win at any costs” of Michael Jordan or Tom Brady is worshiped.  They tell the story of Star Fox, a moment in their video game history that proved pivotal in their lives.    #squozed  Bob mentioned Cecilia Munoz, a member of Biden’s transition team, who defended Obama Era family separations: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/cecilia-munoz-even-broken-laws-have-to-be-enforced/  Did you Know?That in Congressional swing districts in 2020, 6 of the House Dems who lost ranked top 22 most conservative Dems in the House.  On the other hand, 9 of the 11 progressives in these districts won.

In this interview, Candace and Tom sit down with President Obama's Domestic Policy Advisor and author Cecilia Munoz to discuss her new book "More Than Ready". In this discussion, we hit on the importance of elevating the voices of women and people of color. We also hit on the idea that the progressive movement sometimes masks important discussions about real inclusion and empowerment.  Cecilia also has advice for how to moderate among competing egos and personalities.  This is not an interview you'll want to miss. Three Things: 1) Baltimore Mayoral Race 2) The need for government to "invest" during difficult economic times 3) Comptroller Franchot's #TakeItOutside campaign

Cecilia Munoz, Vice President of Public Interest Technology and Local Initiatives at New America Foundation, joined Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel for a conversation about her career as an advocate for change and how we can open government to new ideas and new technologies.

New America is a think tank devoted to American Renewal in a time of unprecedented social and technological change. Under the leadership of Anne-Marie Slaughter, it is actually building a new field of endeavor. Known as Public Interest Technology, this field takes a problem-solving approach to addressing issues that affect everyday people and communities. It convenes municipal leaders with public agencies and nonprofits to fix broken systems in areas including foster care, opioid abuse and criminal justice. And it pairs them with technologists, an expertise more associated with Silicon Valley than government and NGOs, to create cost-effective and transformative solutions.  This effort is led by Cecilia Munoz, a longtime leader at the forefront of progressive change making. At the National Council of La Raza (now UnidosUS), our nation's largest Latino civil rights organization, Cecilia mobilized 300 affiliates as a voice for policy change on Capitol Hill. As Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council under President Barack Obama, she led issue experts in developing solutions to our most pressing policy challenges. Cecilia leads Power Station through the myriad ways that Public Interest Technology is upending entrenched ideas about the process of change making and uplifting what actually works. She wants to see these solutions, and those of partners in the field, like Code for America, embedded in our best community based organizations. Redefining policy change has arrived!   

George Soros's Open Society Foundations has appointed new leadership which includes a former Democratic congressman and a member of La Raza, the Soros funded "Win Justice PAC" is registering likely Democrats to vote in swing states, and the Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters is using union dues to try to get its Trump supporting members to vote blue.

Cecilia Muñoz, Assistant to President Barack Obama and Director of the White House’s Domestic Policy Council, joins CMSOnAir to reflect on the Administration’s efforts on immigration during the past eight years. She offers a candid assessment of the major immigration and refugee issues and challenges the Administration faced, from legislative reform to Executive action to immigration enforcement and national security. In this episode, Ms. Muñoz speaks with CMS's Executive Director Donald Kerwin on the implementation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Syrian refugee resettlement in the United States, and the government’s response to the surge of Central American unaccompanied minors and families into the country.

This week, We The Podcast took a field trip to the West Wing of the White House to talk with Cecilia Munoz, the Director of the President’s Domestic Policy Council about something We The Podcast has covered before: diaper need. The President recently announced a White House initiative to address diaper need, and Cecilia is the one leading that project. Music by: Podington Bear
