Episode Description

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, PSAC, the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council, and the Ontario Real Estate Association.

We have a particularly notable guest on the pod today, for all you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. A man with one of those CVs that make you question why you even have a CV. 

Rahm Emanuel is here!

  • Adviser to President Bill Clinton
  • Elected and then re-elected 3 more times to the U.S. House of Representatives
  • House Democratic Caucus Chair
  • Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
  • White House Chief of Staff under President Barack Obama
  • 55th mayor of Chicago
  • Former United States Ambassador to Japan
  • It’s a CV that’s still in progress!

So, today I want to talk a little bit more about… Mr. Emanuel’s backstory and what continues to motivate his political life. The changing role the U.S. is playing on the world stage. How Democrats can reconnect with working people to form a new, winning voter coalition. And I want to explore the how Trump is changing the Canada/U.S. relationship and what our relationship into the future.
