Podcast appearances and mentions of Robby Mook

Robby Mook, manager of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, joins the show to discuss the latest polling, the candidates' closing arguments, how to protect democracy. Daniella and Colin also talk about the media's coverage of the presidential campaigns and their final pitches to the American people.

Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager, is Major's guest this week. Join us for a spirited conversation about the state of the 2024 race for the White House. Mook believes it's a 50-50 toss up and Vice President Kamala Harris, riding a wave of enthusiasm, has limited time to define her candidacy for voters. Mook says Harris is better positioned to beat Donald Trump than President Biden was, but the race is only going to get tougher. We're at the CBS News Washington bureau.

You read that right. Hillary Clinton's ex-campaign manager Robby Mook just admitted under oath that Hillary Clinton created and fed to the press the debunked allegations that Donald Trump had been colluding with Russia. Yes – she created the false info as a pretext to remove a sitting president which is the very definition of treason. #durham #durhamprobe #durhaminvestigation #hillaryclinton #lockherup

Rich discussed former campaign manager for Hillary Clinton, Robby Mook testifying that the entire Russian collusion narrative against President Trump was approved and supported by then candidate Hillary Clinton. 

The guys open the show discussing the trial of Hillary Clinton's campaign lawyer, Michael Sussman.  They specifically focus on the comments made by her 2016 campaign manager, Robby Mook.  Mook testified that Hillary Clinton, along with top Clinton aides (i.e., John Podesta, Jake Sullivan, Jennifer Palmeri), agreed to share unverified data falsely tying the Trump Organization server to Russia's Alfa Bank.    This led to a conversation about Elongate, where Elon Musk has been accused of exposing himself to a flight attendant on his private plane in 2016 and offered to by her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.  Elon challenged his accuser to describe physical traits of his genitals (i.e., scars, tattoos) that isn't publicly known.  The timing of this scandal comes days after Musk labeled Democrats the party of "division and hate," and also calling out Hillary Clinton campaign hoax.    The second half of the show focuses on a middle schooler accused of sexual harassment for refusing to call a non-binary classmate by the preferred pronoun.  The guys discuss the consequences of this and how parents might address these issues with their kids.  They tie in personal stories of high school and look at the difference between handling bullying now versus 20 years ago.   Pardon My American podcast (PMA) is an opinion-based podcast that explores politics, entertainment, paranormal, and culture all while having a good laugh.

[00:30] ‘Hillary Clinton Did It' (32:00)“Hillary Clinton Did It” read a Wall Street Journal headline on Friday. The Journal wrote, “Her 2016 campaign manager says she approved a plan to plant a false Russia claim with a reporter.” In Friday's court testimony by former Clinton campaign chairman Robby Mook, Mook testified that “Hillary Clinton personally authorized her campaign to share since-debunked computer data linking Donald Trump with a Russian bank” in 2016. Hillary Clinton's Trump-Russia collusion claims were all lies, and they are now being exposed in a court of law. [32:50] Bible Study: Grow in Grace and Knowledge (22 minutes)“How much are you growing in knowledge?” Herbert W. Armstrong asked Church brethren in a 1981 message. If we hope to be born again of God as eternal inheritors of the Kingdom of God, then we must grow day by day in the grace of God and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Hillary Clinton's former campaign manager, Robby Mook, bracingly testified that Clinton herself approved the campaign proposal to leak the back-channel Trump smear to the media, which enabled DOJ special counsel John Durham to do exactly what he had hoped to do: place Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann's alleged false statement in a larger context of a Clinton-driven conspiracy. Just days ago on a radio show, the Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison enthusiastically agreed with the host, who said, “Republicans refuse to condemn white supremacy because it would offend their base.” Harrison added that the “current” Republican Party “is built on fraud. It's built on fear, and it touches on fascism. We see it every day.” Today's Larry Elder Show guest is Mark Meuser, a native Californian and a lawyer focused on election, political, and constitutional law. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, a Federal judge in Louisiana has blocked the Biden administration's effort to take out Title 42, which would have resulted in 18,000 illegal immigrants entering the U.S. each day. No country can handle that much immigration at once, and at the same time we're told the great replacement theory is just a white supremacist myth. This is a racist policy pushed by a racist president helped by a racist media. The United States of the Democrat party has resulted in shortages, inflation, and impoverishment. Also, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich joins the show to discuss his election victory and pushing back against the policies of Biden administration. Then, Robby Mook testified that Hillary Clinton personally signed off on sharing false information to sabotage Trump as an October Surprise. It wasn't just Hillary that knew about this all along, but Barack Obama and Joe Biden knew as well. They used the instrumentalities of law enforcement to play the dirtiest of dirty tricks. Hillary Clinton was behind Russia Collusion, and she should be punished. She triggered investigations and 3 years of sleaze by her media pals, all to sabotage the election and presidency of Donald Trump. Later, the Senate unanimously passed a bill to protect Supreme Court Justices, and Nancy Pelosi won't bring the bill to vote on the House floor. She doesn't mind that Justices are being threatened and is using rhetoric that can result in violence. This is the same attitude Pelosi took to not protect the Capitol building ahead of January 6th despite warnings. Finally, Stephen Miller calls in to explain that Biden is trying to bypass the Senate treaty process in order to bow our nation in submission to the WHO and surrender sovereignty and healthcare freedom.

“You can't say it's attorney-client privilege, and then sneakily have it sent out to six different media outlets because you want that story, that narrative … out in the mainstream media.” The defense strategy for ex-Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann is backfiring, says Kash Patel. While Clinton associates including former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, campaign manager Robby Mook, campaign lawyer Marc Elias, opposition research firm Fusion GPS, and tech executive Rodney Joffe have jumped into the fray to issue pleadings asserting attorney-client and work-product privileges, special counsel John Durham “completely destroys them with their own work,” Kash says. In this episode, Kash and Jan break down what's in John Durham's latest pleadings, the judge's order, the defense's filings, and the stunning misfiled emails between Fusion GPS and members of the media—which were erroneously publicized without redactions.

“[Durham] now has Clinton world burying Michael Sussmann, the defendant in this case.” Clinton campaign affiliates are throwing former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann under the bus, says Kash Patel. And in a last-ditch effort to protect themselves, they are trying to hide evidence behind attorney-client privilege, he argues. Kash and Jan break down special counsel John Durham's latest filing and the significance of the flurry of responses from Clinton campaign affiliates, including former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, campaign manager Robby Mook, campaign lawyer Marc Elias, opposition research firm Fusion GPS, and tech executive Rodney Joffe. According to Durham's filing, the CIA knew in early 2017 that the Alfa Bank allegations tying Trump to Russia were likely false. At the same time, the FBI intentionally avoided coming to conclusions on the veracity of these allegations, Kash argues. We discuss all this and more in this episode of Kash's Corner.

Episode 4 - the state of the race (U.S. Presidential election, with Robby Mook) by Aberdeen Standard Investments

In the wake of a spectacularly ill-tempered U.S. Presidential election TV debate, who is leading the race, and what does this mean for our economic forecasting?We welcome our guest, American political strategist, Robby Mook.  Robby has run multiple major election campaigns for the Democratic Party and most notably was the campaign manager for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.Stephanie Kelly interviews Robby, kicking off with an easy question - who's going to win the race for the White House?   Then the tables are turned and Paul Diggle asks Steph to review the insights from Robby and to consider the outlook for markets and investors.   We recorded this episode the day after the first U.S. Presidential debate, and before the announcement about President Trump's positive Covid-19 test.  

As Joe Biden seeks to make the election a referendum on Trump, Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2016, joins David for a look at the similarities and differences between this campaign and 2016, Trump’s inability to communicate his case for re-election and reminds us that the campaign can turn on a dime.

Not many people were expecting Pete Buttigieg to pull a surprise upset victory over Biden, Warren, and Sanders in Iowa, but then again... not many people had anticipated the "technical issues" with the voting app supplied to the Democrat Party.  Turns out that app was provided by Seth Klarman (Buttigieg's biggest donor) and stress tested by Robby Mook (the Clinton 2016 campaign manager). Why were they even using an app at all if they're really so concerned about foreign election hacking? Big think.... We've got a lot of other content to cover today, as well.

My conversation this week on the City Voice Podcast is with Jeff Weaver, Bernies 2016 Presidential Campaign Manager. He is the author of "How Bernie Won Inside The Revolution That's Taking Back Our Country-And Where We Go From Here." People across the political spectrum have strong feelings about Senator and Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Some like to remind people that he is a Democratic Socialist and usually do so with the tagline that goes something like... we don't do socialism in America. On the other side of the political spectrum, some Democrats see Bernie Sanders as a threat to their political party and it's ability to win. The argument typically is something like this. If Bernie is in, he peels off more votes from the Democrat and we lose... Increasingly there are a lot of people who care less about a party and are more concerned about seeing a positive impact in their lives. I think Bernie's appeal, particularly to those not strongly affiliated with either party is that he seems to care more about reform and results and less about his own victory. Or that's the way people that feel that way see it. If Weaver is as dialed in on Bernie as I think he is, this City Voice Podcast interview should inform you and help you decide for yourself. I'm not here to tell you what to think. Below are bullet points on my discussion with Jeff Weaver about How Bernie Won and a lot more. Thanks in advance for listening and subscribing to the City Voice Podcast. If you haven't subscribed yet go to the right column on this site or to the bottom and click on what works for you. Turns out Jeff Weaver owns a comic book store We talk about Bernie, SNL, and Larry David How did Jeff meet Bernie and begin his personal "Summer of Bernie" 30 years and still going? I ask Jeff Weaver what he would say to people thinking about running for Town Council and School Board Liberal/Progressive... Bernie is a Democratic Socialist. What does that mean and what does it mean for Americans? What happened during the primaries with the DNC and the Hillary Campaign? Jeff talks about a contract between the DNC and the Hillary Campaign. Jeff says, the issue wasn't everybody at the DNC but Debbie Wasserman Schultz was clearly trying to sabotage our campaign. I ask Jeff if this was more a Debbie problem or a DNC problem. There was a phone call in the car between Harry Reid and Bernie while Bernie was on the way to see President Obama at the Whitehouse. Jeff tells us who they talked about. Jeff gives us his thoughts on Superdelegates and the impact they can have on people like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris. Do Jeff and Bernie talk with (DNC Leadership) Tom Perez and Keith Ellison? What's that like and what do they talk about? Jeff tells me. Jeff explains many of the ways Bernie won as we talk about How Bernie Won. When Bernie knew the Democrat nomination was out of reach there was a meeting in a hotel between Bernie Sanders, Jane Sanders Jeff Weaver, and Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and Robby Mook. Jeff tells me what they talked about. Jeff answers my question. Is the political energy out there more about being anti-Trump or for proposed ideas and policies? In the book Jeff says Bernie, in many ways, was completing the work FDR started. I ask Jeff to explain and whether or not Bernie is assuming the mantle of FDR. Jeff uses words from FDR's 1944 State of The Union radio address in How Bernie Won. I end this episode of the City Voice Podcast with the same portion of that SOTU Radio address as spoken by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Robby Mook, co-director of the Defending Digital Democracy Initiative and former campaign manager to Hillary Clinton, explains why he and fellow co-directors Matt Rhoades (Romney 2012) and Eric Rosenbach (Belfer Center) came together to create a series of “playbooks” for political campaigns and election officials to help secure against cyber security threats.

Robby Mook is not only one of the smartest strategists in the Democratic Party—he’s also one of the best people you’ll ever met anywhere in politics to boot. A native of Sharon, Vermont, Robby got his start working local races in the Green Mountain State and has gone on to help Democratic candidates win in just about every other state in the union too. Along the way, he helped change the way modern campaigns are run during his time working for Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential race; stumped Barack Obama’s historic campaign by beating him in four different primary states in 2008; and led House Democrats to pick up 7 seats against the odds in 2012—while also becoming one of the patron saints of our host's political career in the process. He was most recently the campaign manager for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, where he helped make history as his candidate became the first woman nominated by a major party. And he is currently a Fellow at Harvard University’s Belfer Center, where he’s working to arm campaigns and state election officials with the tools they need to prevent foreign actors from disrupting our democracy—again.

Robby Mook, Campaign Manager for Hillary Clinton 2016 and Matt Rhoades, Campaign Manager for Mitt Romney 2012 discuss their bipartisan "Cybersecurity Campaign Playbook" that they've developed through Harvard's Belfer Center. Their playbook aims to provide simple and actionable information to make any campaign, regardless of party, more secure from adversaries. These campaign experts also provide us with their predictions for the 2018 midterm elections.

Lord Ashcroft interviews Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager, about Hillary, the campaign, the Russians, fake news, the prospect of a second Trump term, and what Democrats need to do to prevent it.

In this episode, the Magellan team discusses five insights into the 2016 Clinton Presidential Campaign memoir, Shattered. It is a fascinating book, and delivers a well-documented, truthful story of what happened to the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016.  Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign is a New York Times best seller that came out this past April. The book is co-authored by veteran journalists Jonathan Allen of Politico and Bloomberg News, and senior White House correspondent for the The Hill, Amie Parnes. These journalists were very familiar with their subject, having penned another book about Hillary Clinton back in 2014, called HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton. That book told a mostly positive story of Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of State. Insight #1: It Was Never Clear Why Hillary was Running Ask yourself, what was Hillary Clinton’s message? Why was she running for President? The first chapter of the book, centered on the run-up to her official campaign announcement, describes a chaotic speech writing process with too many cooks in the kitchen, a process that attempted to articulate why she was running. As a source close to Hillary describes: This was the chance to make a credible persuasive case for why she wants to be President. She had to answer the why question. It’s not because of her mother. Her mother’s an inspiration, but that is not why. It has to sort of feel like kind of a call to action, a galvanizing, ‘I’m bringing us together around this larger-than-all-of-us’ idea or cause, and I don’t think it did that. I don’t think it did either of those. (p. 17) Another top aide is more blunt: “I would have had a reason for running…or I wouldn’t have run.” (p. 18) Insight #2: The Campaign Did Not Conduct Any Traditional Polling in the Month Before Election Day, and Relied Much Too Heavily on Analytics (Which Were Wrong) Jumping ahead to Election Night, it’s revealed that the Clinton Campaign relied much too heavily on their analytics and their predictive modeling of the electorate: …John Anzalone tapped out a message to a reporter who asked what was happening. “Wish we knew,” he wrote. “Our analytics models were just really off. Time to go back to traditional polling. This happened in the primaries as well. They just put too much faith in analytics. We did not do any tracking by pollsters for the last month. Just maddening.” (p. 381) As Anzalone notes, relying so heavily on the analytics wouldn’t have been such a huge problem, except for the fact that the models were wrong. For example, early on Election Night, it became clear to on-the-ground operatives that Hillary was in trouble in Florida, and her campaign was caught completely off guard: Yeah, Trump was winning exurban and rural areas, but surely Democratic hot spots like Miami-Dade and Broward would erase the deficit. No, Schale explained, Trump’s numbers weren’t just big, they were unreal. In rural Polk County, smack-dab in the center of the state, Hillary would collect 3,000 more votes than Obama did in 2012 – but Trump would add more than 25,000 votes to Mitt Romney’s total. In Pasco County, a swath of suburbs north of Tampa- St. Petersburg, Trump outran Romney by 30,000 votes. Pasco was one of the counties Schale was paying special attention to because the Tampa area tended to attract retirees from the Rust Belt – folks whose political leaning reflected those of hometowns in the industrial Midwest. In particular, Schale could tell, heavily white areas were coming in hard for Trump… A frightening realization slowly took hold of Mook and Kriegel as they watched results pour in from must-win states. Their vaunted model was way off in Florida. Worse, they had missed the mark in North Carolina too. (p. 375-377) Earlier in the book, on page 367, we learn about campaign manager Robby Mook’s rationale for the decision to rely heavily on analytics: He had learned from David Plouffe…that old-school polling should be used for testing messages and gauging the sentiments of the electorate and that analytics were just as good for tracking which candidate was ahead and by how much in each state. Plus, the analytics were quicker and much cheaper. (emphasis added) The question then becomes, why, on a campaign with incredible resources, were they pinching pennies when it came to traditional polling? It truly was a crippling mistake, because it meant that they couldn’t see what was happening on the ground, particularly in Rust Belt states, and they couldn’t re-allocate campaign resources in an attempt to help save Michigan and Wisconsin, which were absolutely crucial to any of the scenarios in which Hillary could hit 270 Electoral College votes. There is another factor at play here, however. By August, the campaign knew that Hillary was unlikely to win in Ohio or Iowa, but “the imperative to avoiding signaling this to the press and the public drove some of the decision-making. That is, they kept real campaigns going on in those states just to keep up the appearance that they were competitive.” (p. 312) Insight #3: Hillary’s Failure to Win the Votes of Working-Class White Voters Should Not Have Been Surprising…Bernie Did A Lot of Damage Of course, we don’t need Shattered to know that the Rust Belt had the potential to be very problematic for Hillary. We can know that just from looking at Democratic Primary Election results. Bernie bested her by nearly 20,000 votes in Michigan, 32,000 votes in Indiana and a whopping 135,000 votes in Wisconsin. Still, the book provides fascinating insight into the interworkings of the campaign and its failure to appeal to working-class whites, particularly in Chapter 11, Canary in the Auto Plant: On one call…Hillary pushed for information on why Bernie killed her with working-class whites, the demographic group that had been her most consistent support network in 2008…She had counted on adding parts of the Obama coalition to her white working-class base this time around, but it felt like those once-loyal friends had abandoned her. “Why aren’t they with me? Why can’t we bring them on board?” she demanded. (p. 177-178) Allen and Parnes describe how she received conflicting input from her campaign team and advisors, with younger advisors believing in the “Obama coalition-plus” model, while older staff thought she should have started with her base from the 2008 Primaries, meaning “working class…not just working-class white – women, firefighters.” The authors then provide their own explanation for Hillary’s troubles with the working class: The real answer: she’d become the candidate of minority voters on social justice issues while Bernie was hitting her as a corrupt, Wall Street-loving champion of the “rigged” financial system that took advantage of working-class voters. (p.178) Insight #4: Hillary’s Campaign Failed to Focus on Persuading Voters Related to all of the above insights, because it was driven by anxiety over money and by the analytics, and because it surely played a factor in Hillary’s disastrous showing among working-class whites, was the decision to focus almost exclusively on turning out base Democratic voters, rather than persuading voters. This was an issue from as early as the New Hampshire primary, when Bill Clinton clashed with Robby Mook and wanted to get the campaign out of the cities and to talk to more rural voters. To Mook, such a strategy was inefficient, yet as Allen and Parnes note: During the primaries, Mook’s obsession with efficiency had come at the cost of broad voter contact in states that would become important battlegrounds in the general election. It led him to send the Clintons to big cities, where black and Latino voters would produce major delegate hauls. Putting Hillary in Detroit, for example, was the most efficient way of building voters for the primary and the general election, but it meant that she wasn’t in mostly white Macomb County, just outside the city…Mook was giving up on persuading voters who weren’t inclined to support Hillary because it was less efficient to go after them. “It’s hard if you try; it’s even harder if you don’t try,” one senior aide said of the decision to forgo appearances in white suburbs. On some level, the decision to forgo persuasion was driven by a short calendar. By the time Hillary finally won the nomination after a tougher than expected fight with Bernie, it was too late to build the ground forces that are key to knocking on doors and persuading voters. It was also presumed that voters already had a wealth of information and well-formed opinions about Hillary, which meant that attempting to persuade them was especially inefficient. Still, the fact that the campaign, in large part, didn’t even try to persuade voters in key battleground states was surely a contributing factor to Hillary’s loss. Insight #5: E-mails, E-mails, E-mails Clearly, a lot of the media narrative throughout the campaign was focused on e-mails, both Hillary’s private e-mail server and, in the last month of the campaign, the cyberattacks on the DNC and especially John Podesta. There is an entire chapter of the book dedicated to “The Summer of the Server” detailing how Hillary failed to grasp the potential for the story to turn into a full-blown scandal, and had taken far too long to issue any kind of public apology for the way she had handled her e-mail at the State Department. Then, in the month before Election Day, the release of the e-mails from John Podesta’s e-mail account became, as the authors describe, a “slow-bleed story line that plagued her longer than the Access Hollywood video hobbled Trump.” In the end, voters conflated all of the “e-mail” storylines into one, to an effect that, according to campaign insiders, was decisive in her defeat.

Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook sits down with Glenn Thrush in Philadelphia to discuss how they came together with the Sanders camp, why voters may not trust Clinton until after she's elected and the Russians hacking DNC emails.

Has Ted Cruz taken lingering "Never Trumpers" over the edge with him? Did the pro-Cruz Colorado delegation work as a band of principled citizens in their Cleveland "walkout" -- or as saboteurs of the Republican Party and abettors of the Clinton campaign? To what extent has Darryl Glenn's senate campaign been undermined? In spite of it all, why is leftist activist Michael Moore now convinced that "Trump is gonna win" in November? Meanwhile, we review the bizarre claims of Robby Mook, campaign manager for Hillary Clinton, that Putin's Russia has masterminded the damaging DNC email leaks -- and that Donald Trump is somehow to blame. Also, we listen to Bernie Sanders demand the resignation of DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Will Sanders toe the line for the "rigged" system of his own party?

Winning the independents … stimulating the economy … and taking back the House. Linda Killian There is some question as to whether there really are a lot of truly independent voters. Journalist and scholar Linda Killian, who has studied them in four key swing states, says they may constitute up to 25 percent of the electorate. She says they are socially moderate, fiscally conservative and leaning toward President Obama on national security issues. http://www.politico.com/arena/bio/linda_killian.html Robert Shiller Robert Shiller is a professor of economics at Yale University says cutting taxes and cutting spending will devastate America and bring on another recession.
