I 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: just I just put it up. 22 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 4: You did the manual labor, and now Wenda gets to 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 4: do the pretty much design. Pretty much got it pretty much. 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: Even then I didn't have it up. I didn't have 25 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: all the pieces right in place. I didn't notice it 26 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: was a little bit crooked. She had to go, and 27 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: she had to go and fix it. So yeah, well, 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm getting all. 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: I'm getting in early. 30 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: I hate the fact that the holiday season seems like 31 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: it's been shorter depending on when Thanksgiving ends up occurring. 32 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: Like last year, it was like hearing gone and I 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: got sucked. Yep, when it takes place, because I think this, 34 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: I think this year we're okay on that, right, Thanksgivings 35 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: on the twenty seventh. Yeah see that's yeah, that's so, 36 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: that's we're past it. And then we're into December and 37 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: then we're only just a few Yeah, so I'm getting 38 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm getting. Oh see, I'm taking care of that right now. 39 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm putting my foot down. I'm getting my Christmas on early. 40 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: John just is taking a stand here. 41 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: I'm acting. I'm acting like our sister stations. Just getting 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: right in on the Christmas action. That's quick as possible. 43 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: All right. 44 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of getting in on the action, the Supreme Court 45 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: to edited there yesterday did agree to decide whether states 46 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: can continue to count late arriving male ballots, which have 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: been the target of President Donald Trump. 48 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: Again, it's an AP story. 49 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: I just there was a point in time when the 50 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: AP delivered non biased, legitimate news everything that when they 51 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: talk about Trump is just framed in the negative. The 52 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: Justices took up an appeal from Mississippi after a panel 53 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: of three judges nominated by the Republican president on the 54 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: fifth that US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year 55 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: the state law allowing ballots that arrived shortly after election 56 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: day to be counted violated federal law. So Mississippi is 57 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: among eighteen states and DC that have accepted male ballots 58 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: received after election day as long as they were postmarked 59 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: on or before that date. Now the list also includes 60 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: This is where it's more concerning swing states such as Nevada, 61 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: States as Colorado, Oregon, and Utah that rely heavily on 62 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: mail in voting. Additionally, fourteen states allowing counting of late 63 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: arriving ballots from some eligible voters, including overseas US service 64 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: members and their families. According to the filing from Democrat 65 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: led states that urged the Justices to reverse the appellate ruling, 66 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: the case will be argued in late winter or early 67 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: spring next year. The final ruling will almost certainly come 68 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: by late June and early enough to govern the counting 69 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: of ballots in the twenty twenty six midterm congressional elections. 70 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: So while we didn't go and ditch the filibuster and 71 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: move forward on election integrity, that could end up playing 72 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: a pretty big role in next year's midterms. 73 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: This certainly would have. 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: If the Supreme Courts didn't decide to, Eh, we're good, 75 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: we're going to pass. Supreme Court rejects a call to 76 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: overturn the decision legalizing same sex marriage in the US. 77 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: So the appeal was from Kim Davis, a former Kentucky 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: sex couples after the Scootis ruling in twenty fifteen. According 80 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: to the AP, Davis attempted to get the Supreme Court 81 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: to overturn the lower court order for her to pay 82 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty thousand dollars in damages and lawyer's 83 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: fees to a couple denied a marriage license. 84 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: Now. 85 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: The AP reported that Justice Clarence Thomas was among the 86 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: four dissenting justices in twenty fifteen. That would be Oberger 87 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: Fell versus Hodges. Chief Justice John Roberts and Alito are 88 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: among other dissenters who are on the court today. Hey 89 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: Davis had gained a national attention in Eastern Kentucky's Rowand 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: County when she snubbed the same sex couples, claiming that 91 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: her faith prevented her from complying with the Supreme Court ruling. 92 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: So ultimately what would have happened here is that this 93 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: would have been. 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: Kicked back to the states. 95 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: Okay, Dems are none too happy about that fact, by 96 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: the way, they're going to put on a different fronts 97 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: in the media, which is what Governor Tim Walls did. 98 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: But make no mistake, there were plenty of Democrats that 99 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: were really really hoping the Supreme Court took this up 100 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: and knocked this issue back to the States so they 101 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: could go and run on it the same way they 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: did abortion. 103 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls. 104 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: Quote tweeted the story regarding the Supreme Court decision to 105 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: not re examine gay marriage. 106 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: And this is what he wrote on x. 107 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: The bar is in hell. But this is a win 108 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: for decency and compassion. 109 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: He is so annoyingly crass. The bar is in. 110 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 5: Hell, grinchy harton or something. 111 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: Just as a side note, this has nothing to do 112 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: with decency and compassion relating to this particular issue. It's 113 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: just about the law, that's all that it is. And again, 114 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: just like abortion, it just would have knocked the issue 115 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: back to the states to decide for themselves because elections 116 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: have consequences where it should be decided. Supreme courtse not 117 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: taking it up. It's not going to be much of 118 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: an issue moving forward. Make no mistake though. Again Will 119 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: Walls will go and post that online. He's bummed the 120 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: Supreme Court is not going and taking the issue up. 121 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 5: I'm ready to get beat. 122 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: All right, let's go here. 123 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the latest regarding the attempts 124 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: to continue to strip away your right to keep in 125 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: bear arms. It's all for show though. There's a lot 126 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: of political theater going on. There was another town hall 127 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: that took place over the weekend. 128 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: One moderate doing. 129 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: Nothing with my fingers sent it to dfller. Judy Seberger 130 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: has now hopped on board with Governor Tim Walls on 131 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: his town halls because she knows full well there's not 132 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: going to be a special session called. She may have 133 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: an opportunity next year during a special session to go 134 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: and vote on this. If the Democrats are brave enough 135 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: to put this forward and also put their own members 136 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: of the legislature in the spotlight. That would not sign 137 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: off on these issues. The City of Dnah was the 138 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: latest to provide symbolic assistance to Governor Tim Walls as 139 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: they move forward with another ordinance relating to firearms, which 140 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: of course has no legal standing whatsoever. And I'll share 141 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: with you the details on this here in just a moment, 142 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: but I want to go here briefly before we talk 143 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: about that. Speaking of city Zoe Wrang Mom Donnie of 144 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: course winning the mayor's race in New York City, it's 145 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: going to be highly entertaining to watch, especially since Governor 146 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel, while she did endorse Mom Donnie, made it 147 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: clear yesterday that she is not all in on his 148 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: progressive policy proposals. 149 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 5: Yes, I'm from Buffalo. 150 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: We don't put up with a lot of crap. 151 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 6: So I just want to set the stage that, you know, 152 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 6: you look at the history of people who've run multi 153 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 6: billion dollar ad campaigns to try and get me to 154 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 6: change my position. 155 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 7: I don't change my position. 156 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 6: So I just want to put it out there. I 157 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 6: respect people's opinions, I respect proper place to convey them, 158 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 6: and so I've said I hear you and that it's important, 159 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 6: but also there is a time and place, and so 160 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 6: that's all on that. No, I've had conversations on this trip, 161 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 6: but many conversations i'd say over the summer in the 162 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 6: fall that were important that led to understanding of what's 163 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 6: in the realm of possibility, shared ambitions. 164 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 5: But what is doable is the question. 165 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 6: And so now we're aligned on so many of these issues. 166 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 8: You know, I've made it clear where I. 167 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 6: Have strong disagreements with issues that really do not pertain 168 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 6: to you know, the governance of New York City, and 169 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 6: of course said you need to get a police commissioner 170 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 6: that people trust, who has a record of accomplishment to 171 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 6: keep the trajectory that we're on right now, which is 172 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 6: crime is going down, crime is going down significantly. 173 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: This is just a word salad with no substance. 174 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: She goes on for another minute or so, but basically 175 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: what was asked at the beginning of that word salad 176 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: was whether or not she was on board with Mom 177 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: Donnie's free bust plan and has taxed the rich plan, 178 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: of which she said no. 179 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 2: That she wasn't. And this goes back to what I 180 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: said earlier. 181 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: When Mom Donnie won the election, he made a lot 182 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: of promises He's not going to be able to keep. 183 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 2: Don't misunderstand. 184 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: She starts talking about safety and security and law enforcement 185 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: in New York City, and he'll be able to put 186 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: forward policy that'll have disastrous effects, and certainly when it 187 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: comes to seizing buildings, making it difficult for landlords to 188 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: go and continue to rent, whether it's freezing the rents 189 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: for these buildings, taking away the ability of landlords to 190 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: go and make money by being landlords, increasing fines, putting 191 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: landlords in a position where they won't be able to 192 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: afford to make repairs, and when they don't, finding them 193 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: even further eventually, when they can't pay those fines, watch 194 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: Mam Donnie will move in to go and seize those properties, 195 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: turn him into subsidized housing with the hope that the 196 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: individuals that would live in that government subsidized housing in 197 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: New York City will continue to vote for socialists Like 198 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie.

Let me share with you 313 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: a bit, however, and again we'll get back into more 314 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: of this coming up next hour after our conversation with 315 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: Adam Swarzy. This is a bit of the story here 316 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: from Channel Channel five. 317 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 12: With the current balance of the legislature, progress is going 318 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 12: to require our Republican colleagues to join us to protect 319 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 12: our kids. 320 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: And I encourage each and every one of them to 321 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: do so. 322 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: Let me stop here real quick. That was Judy Sieberger. 323 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: Why does it require Republicans to join you? You have 324 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: control of the Senate, the House is divided fifty to fifty. 325 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: You only need Republicans to join you if you don't 326 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: have the votes on your end, which again is why 327 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: and you know this, We've talked about it, which is 328 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: why Governor Tim Walls has not called for a special 329 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: session because he knows this. This is not about policy, 330 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: This is not about saving lives. This is all about narratives. 331 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: This is all about Governor Tim Walls running for reelection 332 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: and trying to gain and get as much momentum behind 333 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: these issues which they won't end up addressing and if 334 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: they do next to session, they're going to fail, but 335 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: trying to come up with enough that he can use 336 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: to push back and dfllers can use to push back 337 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: during next year's elections. 338 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 12: With the current balance of the legislature, progress is going 339 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 12: to require our Republican colleagues to join us to protect 340 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 12: our kids, and I encourage each and every one of 341 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 12: them to do so. 342 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 3: Do you expect that to happen? 343 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: Probably not, Seaburger. 344 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 8: Senate colleague on the other side of the aisle, Andrew Lang, 345 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 8: doesn't expect much progress this session, especially surrounding a weapons ban. 346 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 11: Some of our more most moderate members are a hard 347 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 11: no against anything like that because they know it probably 348 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 11: is not going to make a difference in the long run. 349 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 8: Republicans have focused on strengthening schools safety and investing in 350 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 8: mental health measures. But Senator Lang also points out this 351 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 8: is a bonding year with a lot more on the 352 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 8: table than the gun debate. 353 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 5: We're trying to pay for water towers. 354 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 11: We're trying to pray for roads and bridges, and water 355 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 11: treatment facilities and sewet treatment facilities. 356 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 5: That is got to be number one on our list. 357 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 8: Through recent KCP Survey USA polling, we found that more 358 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 8: than fifty percent supported in assault style weapons ban, and 359 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 8: in that same poll would ask what the most important 360 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 8: issue lawmakers should address in a special session, they said 361 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 8: mental health, followed by guns five at the Capitol. 362 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: Ben Henry five O witness new. 363 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: And again that story there from Channel five. 364 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus responded to Sieburger and said 365 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: that State Senator Judy Sieberger says she will back more 366 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: restrictions on assault style weapons, a significant shift from the 367 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: previously undecided swing district democrat who could help decide the 368 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 1: fate of gun control measures next session. The dfler from 369 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: Afton was one of several moderate legislators who did not 370 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: publicly say how they would vote on gun control proposals 371 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: pushed by Walls after the shooting at the Catholic church. 372 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: Sieburger has since resolved to support whatever it takes doing 373 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: that thing with my fingers to make Minnesota safer. The 374 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus goes on to say, I'll be 375 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: a yes on anything and everything that comes through that 376 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: will make a difference to reduce gun violence here in 377 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: the state Minnesota. She said in a recent interview, that 378 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: will really make a difference. Just pulling from her quote, 379 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: it's an unanswerable question, and she knows that, and Governor 380 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: Tim Walls knows that. As a matter of fact, they 381 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: asked Walls, why doesn't he call a special debate or 382 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: a special session without a pre agreement to at least 383 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: force a debate over the debate, and Wall said, well, 384 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: the debate wouldn't happen. The floor would then be controlled 385 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: by Republicans who have made it clear they don't want 386 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: to have this discussion. The debate would happen, though they 387 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: would be forced to. You would call a special session. 388 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: You guys would go and talk about it again. It's 389 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: just another meaningless word salad from Governor Tim Walls instead 390 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: of him being open and honest and upfront and saying 391 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: I'm not calling a special session because they're members of 392 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: my own party that will not sign off on this 393 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: and therefore it would. 394 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: Be a waste of time. 395 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: Coming up next SENE candidates on a veta date twenty 396 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: one years as a Marine and Navy seal.

A much 566 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: different dynamic obviously than working in in news talk and 567 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: the first part of my of my career, although I 568 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: think everybody sort of ended up handling in that day 569 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: the same way as we watched everything happen. But you know, 570 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: since then, it's been this idea of never forget, but 571 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: holy cow, of a lot of people either well maybe 572 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: not have forgotten, but certainly a lot of people have 573 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: not been educated into what you know, what it meant 574 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: for America to be attacked to that day and you know, 575 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: inspired individuals like yourself and others to. 576 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: Go in and join. 577 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: And that continues to be just an ongoing battle to 578 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: make sure that people are aware of those those enemies 579 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: that still exist because you know, a lot of our 580 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: young people just simply have not been educated over that. 581 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, it is sad that it takes a huge, gross 582 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 7: national level incident to cause what's called the rally run 583 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 7: the Flag theory, where people all of a sudden, now 584 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 7: of a sudden, are uber patriotic and care about the flag, 585 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 7: care about the country above all else. And there's some 586 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 7: there's some second order effects of that that are not 587 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 7: good holistically, first in policies, like some of the things 588 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 7: from that came out of the nine to eleven exoor 589 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 7: that were overreaches. But certainly it's sad that people just 590 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 7: take things for granted until. 591 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 5: There's a tragedy. 592 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, and are just But if you look at the 593 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 7: good news, if you look at the Minnesota pult cool 594 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 7: landscape right now, you have a bunch of veterans who 595 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 7: are running for governor, there's a great veteran running for 596 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 7: the attorney general. 597 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 5: And now you have me running for the US Senate. 598 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 7: So there's people that are still called to serve and 599 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 7: see that sometimes the real threats are not from foreign shores, 600 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 7: but just from the effects of bad policies with their 601 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 7: own government. 602 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: Talking with Adam Schwarzy running for Senate, when did you 603 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: decide that you wanted to serve in office. 604 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it is kind of a long, longer answer. 605 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 7: So in total, I did nine employments to over seventy 606 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 7: five countries, and I'm from Bloomington, Minnesota. Every time I 607 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 7: would come back home from doing these deployments, my home city, 608 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 7: Bloomington was a little worse off every time. 609 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 5: It was just incrementally worse. 610 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 7: Off to now the city holistically, I don't even recognize 611 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 7: it from the one I grew up in. And then 612 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 7: every time again I came home to Minnesota, I went 613 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 7: to the University Minnesota, I got my undergrad here, I 614 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 7: bought property in downtown Minneapolis. I saw it was on 615 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 7: a negative glide slope. And then during COVID, I saw 616 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 7: the executive branch overstep. I saw how we were treating 617 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 7: our military members in the Biden administration, and that was 618 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 7: truly my wake up. 619 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 5: Two. 620 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 7: Politics were all sort of kind of connected the dots 621 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 7: for me in that Holy Cow. 622 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 5: But it wasn't until. 623 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 7: George Floyd, right after the beginning of COVID that excuse me, 624 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 7: when Tim Walls allowed Minneapolis to be burned to the ground. 625 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 7: One of my biological sisters lives three blocks away from 626 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 7: the target in Minneapolis that burned to the ground, and 627 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 7: so when that specific event happened, it was kind of 628 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 7: a tripwire for me, and I decided that it didn't 629 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 7: matter how many amazing, super sexy, important strategic Navy Seal 630 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 7: missions I was doing behind the scenes. Nothing mattered if 631 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 7: our country was going to fail, if Minnesota was going 632 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 7: to fail, if my city was going to go away. 633 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 7: At that point, I decided to put down the sword, 634 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 7: pick up the pen, and like six other sorry, seven 635 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 7: other Navy seals who are now in federal office, this 636 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 7: is the greatest way I can actually impact my country. 637 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: You have Tina Smith retiring, you have a couple of 638 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: candidates on the Democrat side that are running. Interesting polling 639 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: data came out a few weeks ago showing a hypothetical 640 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: right not even pointing to a specific candidate of Republican, 641 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: just in a hypothetical matchup, and I think a lot 642 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: of people were surprised to see that it was a 643 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: lot closer than what people expected. What is how are 644 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: you approaching the campaign? Obviously you need to continue to 645 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: raise awareness and let people know that you know your name, 646 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: ID be being a newcomer. But when you look ahead 647 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: of the campaign and the battle between Craig and Flannagain, 648 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm really interested to sort of get your perspective and 649 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: lay of the land of where you think this race 650 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: is going and how you fit into it. 651 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, so let's first talk about that polling specifically it 652 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 7: was leaked pulling from Peggy flannagainst team, And how polling 653 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 7: works generally is the Democrats will do polling that makes 654 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 7: their candidate look really good because it helps with their fundraising, 655 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 7: just like at some point I'll do polling. It's going 656 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 7: to maximize my own candidacy and campaign that. 657 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 5: I'll send out and do fundraising. 658 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 7: So the polling that was leased by the Flannagan campaign, 659 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 7: it makes her look as good as possible, Okay, And 660 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 7: so she's up two points over as you aptly said, 661 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 7: a no name generic Republican candidate. That is a striking 662 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 7: poll already because it's already been two points very close. 663 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 7: What that poll also says by not saying it, it's 664 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 7: two points versus a generic Republican candidate. So what's awesome 665 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 7: about that is the best metric for future success is 666 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 7: past performance. So I was talking about earlier the seven 667 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 7: other Navy seals who are in federal office. Ninety three 668 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 7: percent of incumbents they win reelection every single time. I 669 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 7: don't have to face that in this selection because Tina 670 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 7: Smith is stepping down, But ninety three percent of the 671 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 7: time if I were to go up against an incumbent, 672 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 7: they come at wins. Navy Seals this weird small bastion 673 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 7: of Americans. Seven out of seven, we're seven for seven 674 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 7: and flipping federal seats. 675 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 5: We have not failed. 676 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 7: Most recently, you actually have another Minnesota Navy Seal and 677 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 7: Tim Shey who's only thirty eight year old, who flipped 678 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 7: out a three term incumbent and a fifth generation rancher 679 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 7: in John Tester in Montana. So the national donor scene recognizes, now, 680 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 7: holy cow, the Seals for forever reason, we're a winning brand, 681 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 7: We're a great investment, and so they count that. Now 682 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 7: for my race in Minnesota, there's an entity called side 683 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 7: Cards and other like independent nonpartisan polling thing that quantified 684 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 7: what the Navy Seal bump is in Minnesota. So you 685 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 7: take the regular generic Republican, the Navy Seal Republican now 686 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 7: gets six point eight. So if you take Flanna against Pole, 687 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 7: who's up to and then you take the Navy seal 688 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 7: bump six point eight. 689 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 5: I'm up four point eight. 690 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: And then you also have a situation with this within 691 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party itself, of the Democrat Party trying to 692 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 1: decide which candidate that they want to roll with between 693 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: Angie Craig and and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flannagain. You've got 694 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: a lot of endorsements rolling in for Peggy Flann again, 695 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: but you also have an individual in Angie Craig who's 696 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: been around for a while and has her own deep 697 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: roots within DC already. 698 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 7: Yes, so you have essentially Angie Craig who's fighting for 699 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 7: Washington in Minnesota, and then you have me who's fighting 700 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 7: for Minnesota and Washington. That's the best way I can 701 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 7: contrast myself to Angie Craig. I think two thirds of 702 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 7: her money comes from the Beltway, from Washington packs and 703 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 7: insider and all that stuff. The interesting thing that you've 704 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 7: highlight is the two factions on the Democrat Party. Well, 705 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 7: first off, on the Republican side, I'm the only candidate 706 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 7: going for the endorsement at this point, so that's really great. 707 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 7: It's likely I'll get the endorsement since I'm the only 708 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 7: one committed. 709 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 5: To that process. 710 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 7: But you would have expected a reasonable and irrational person 711 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 7: would have expected after the Shellaki and the Democrats took 712 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 7: during this last presidential election that they'd kind of try 713 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 7: to rebrand their party and actually maybe earn some of 714 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 7: the support of the farmers, the laborers, the blue collar 715 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 7: people that they've holistically turned their back on, specifically in 716 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 7: greater Minnesota that used to be all blue land, now 717 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 7: it's all red. 718 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 5: They have not done that. They've doubled down on the radicalism. 719 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 7: If you look at New York now the capital the 720 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 7: world's financial capitals, now by an open socialist, an open 721 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 7: socialist Marxist olmar Fatag got within striking distance of Minneapolis. 722 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 5: They have not rebranded. 723 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 7: They are doubling down on the DEI, the political identity, 724 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 7: the wokeism, and yeah, Bernie Sanders, Keith Elis and Julia Blaha, 725 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 7: Steve Simon, Elizabeth Warren and over half of the Minnesota 726 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 7: legislature have all gotten behind Flanagan in her race. And 727 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 7: so I think it's very likely that not only does 728 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 7: she get the endorsement, she wins the primary. And that's 729 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 7: I love that because then I get to talk about 730 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 7: just all of her faith When I talk about the 731 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 7: best metric to future success, it's past performance. Well, Flanagan's 732 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 7: performance for Minnesota has been abysmal. You know the eight 733 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 7: billion dollars in fraud. It came out three days ago. 734 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 7: She spent three hundred and fifty four thousand dollars on 735 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 7: her government credit card. I don't think most of Missortians 736 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 7: can even fathom taking a business card and racking up 737 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 7: three hundred and fifty four thousand dollars on it. So 738 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 7: I'm going to take her to task on just her record. 739 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 7: We don't need to get personal. We don't talk about 740 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 7: social issues. We can talk about her record and her 741 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 7: failure as a leader in Minnesota. 742 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 1: What is it talking with again? Adam Swarzy running for Senate? 743 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: Where's your focus right now? Are you now just focused 744 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: on leading into the endorsement and heading into next year 745 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: or are you already sort of looking You've laid out 746 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: your expectation in terms of flanningg in, But how much 747 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: focus are you putting on her right now? Where is 748 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: your focus right now? 749 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 2: Overall? 750 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 7: Well, as a military guy, if everything is a priority, 751 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 7: then nothing is truly a priority. So my priorities are 752 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 7: the endorsement, raising money for the endorsement, and building a 753 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 7: war chest for the general. And it is a unique 754 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 7: opportunity that we have a twenty year opportunity that it's 755 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 7: truly to vacancy. So I'm not fighting thecumbent, and it's 756 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 7: a thirty year opportunity that there's really not an off 757 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 7: ramp for Peggy Flannagan nor Angie Craig. They're gonna have 758 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 7: a head on, bloody collision in their primary, and that's 759 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 7: usually the Republicans do that, especially. 760 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 5: In Minnesota, and we're kind of doing that. For the 761 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 5: governor's race. 762 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 7: We have I think nine candidates in I know there's 763 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 7: gonna be a thing two more. So we're gonna have 764 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 7: eleven candidates all you know, blood letting each other for 765 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 7: that primary. Well, Wallace just walks away, you know, twenty 766 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 7: million dollars by next August, we're gonna have eleven candidates 767 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 7: bleeding all their bank accounts dry. 768 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 9: Well. 769 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 7: The good news for the US Senate, it's the opposite. 770 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 7: I'm just going to continue to make money, build my brand, 771 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 7: run I'm running the general election right now. Common sense policies, 772 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 7: building back the middle class, getting government out of the way, 773 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 7: making adoptions more affordable and easier so we can truly 774 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,919 Speaker 7: embrace life, getting parents back control of the driver's seat 775 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 7: of their families again.
