In this episode Bill interviews Rick Wilson, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, a group of Republicans working to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected. Wilson discusses the work of the Lincoln Project and their efforts to persuade disaffected Republicans not to vote for Trump. He also talks about the impact of their ads, which fall into three categories: ads that mock and provoke Trump, ads that support Joe Biden, and ads that motivate people to vote. Wilson emphasizes the importance of reaching out to Republican voters and appealing to their values and concerns. He also discusses the upcoming presidential debate and offers advice to Biden on how to handle Trump's attacks. Wilson concludes by expressing optimism about Biden's chances in the election.
