Speaker 1: Battleground podcast. So thank you to deep Well Services for that.

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: What does it mean to lead by example? Sometimes it

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: means stepping up and taking action in the hopes that

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: your peers take notice and follow. Other Times it means

15
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: just stepping up and doing the work that nobody else

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: wants to do, the unsexy work, the hard work where

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: you may not even see the fruits of your efforts

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: until much much later. You know the right thing, and

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: you do it, and you keep doing it day after day,

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: even when you don't get the results right away, and

21
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: amazing things happen. People see you and they take notice,

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: and if you do the hard work with a smile.

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: Other people join in. Enthusiasm is contagious. You make the

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: unsexy work look sexy, and eventually you build a movement

25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 1: of people committed to doing the difficult but necessary work

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and you start seeing results, and over time those results

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: become huge, measurable changes. On this episode of Battleground, I

28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: get to hang out with one of my favorite people

29
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: in politics. His name is Scott Presler aka The Persistence.

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen him on Twitter. He as something

31
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: like one point four million followers now. Scott is the

32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: definition of a happy warrior who has sparked a grassroots

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: movement focused on doing the hard work of voter registration

34
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: and voter education door knocking. He's done it all across

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: the country. His work has narrowed the voter registration gap

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: in purple and blue counties across the country. He's brought

37
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: a laser focus to critical down ballot elections and initiatives

38
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: that have massive implications for the future. We talk about

39
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: that on this podcast. He's also organized cleanup efforts in

40
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: America's most dilapidated cities and showed us what one person

41
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: can accomplish when they want to see our country prosper

42
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: and yet they ask nothing in return. So I hope

43
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: you enjoy our conversation and I hope you'll get involved

44
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: with the amazing work Scott is doing. He really, truly

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: is an incredible person. So without further I hope you

46
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: enjoy my conversation with Scott Presler. Scott Presler, the man,

47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: the myth, the legend, the grassroots legend. Thank you for

48
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: joining the show today. Where are you right now? You

49
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin?

50
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: I am I'm in Green Bay in Brown County, Wisconsin.

51
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: How's the weather up there?

52
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: It's been snowing every single day in March.

53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. So you are hard at

54
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: work right now fighting for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Give

55
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: us a rundown of what the court looks like right

56
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: now up there in the stakes of this election, because,

57
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: like we learn the hard way in Pennsylvania, just for

58
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: people who are watching, where we seeded, didn't pay attention to,

59
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: took for granted, call it whatever you want. The Supreme

60
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Court races in twenty fifteen here in Pennsylvania, and we

61
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: have been dealing with the all out and the consequences

62
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: of a five to two Democrat supermajority on the Pennsylvania

63
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Supreme Court for almost a decade now, and so it

64
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: gives me joy to see that you are focused on

65
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court. So give us a breakdown. What's

66
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: the makeup of the court and what are the stakes here?

67
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: I know whoever thought a Wisconsin's Supreme Court race could

68
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: be so sexy.

69
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: But let me break down the background for you and

70
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: why everybody in the country, including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,

71
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: should be focusing on Wisconsin.

72
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 4: So right now, we have a.

73
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: Conservative court, meaning there are four conservatives and three liberals. However,

74
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: one of those conservatives is retiring, meaning that the election

75
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: on April fourth, if we are unsuccessful at electing Justice

76
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: Daniel Kelly, that conservative court will quickly flip from conservative

77
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: to liberal. And what's at stake in this election, Well,

78
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: Justice Daniel Kelly's opponent, the Liberal, has already indicated voter

79
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: ID in Wisconsin will be gone, proof of residency for

80
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: voter registration will be gone. Gun rights and hunting rights

81
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: will be attacked in the state of Wisconsin. And in

82
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: addition to medical freedom, Democrat Governor Evers, like in the

83
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, shut down schools down schools's and he

84
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: tried to declare a stay at home order. Do you

85
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: know who was the deciding vote in Wisconsin that shut

86
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: down Governor evers stay at home order? It was Justice

87
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: Daniel Kelly. In twenty twenty he has already proven conservative leadership.

88
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: But the last most important thing, because I know there

89
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: are so many people in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that

90
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 2: listen to you, Sean, that care about election integrity, I

91
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: want to be overt in this messaging. The court in

92
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 2: Wisconsin declared unmanned boxes as unconstitutional, and so if you

93
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: care about election integrity, I'm here to tell you that

94
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: if we are unsuccessful at winning with Justice Samuel Kelly

95
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: on April fourth, there will be unmanned drop boxes on

96
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: every street corner in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Eau Claire

97
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: going into the all important twenty twenty four presidential election.

98
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: So what happens on April fourth in Wisconsin is going

99
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: to affect every single American going forward in whether or

100
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: not we're able to win elections.

101
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: Man Scott, you articulate the stakes so well, and to

102
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: the people in Pennsylvania and people who are all around

103
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: the country. Really, who are watching this, you talk about

104
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: these stakes, they're real. What did that look like in

105
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: the state of Pennsylvania after twenty twenty, where you know,

106
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: the governor, when we passed this no Excuse mail and

107
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: ballot program, which is called Acts seventy seven, the governor,

108
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: the governor completely remove any sense of a deadline for

109
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: those ballots. We had drop boxes everywhere, We took Zuckerbucks,

110
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: which means we had private funds influencing public elections. They

111
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: removed the id process, they removed the signature of verification process,

112
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: all in the lead up to the twenty twenty race.

113
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: And when we challenge that law, and when we challenge

114
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: the constitutionality of Acts seventy seven, now it's as clear

115
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: as day that there are four ways where you can

116
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: vote legally in accordance with the Pennsylvania State Constitution. In

117
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: absentee right, it makes clear four very clear cut ways.

118
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you need basically a third or fourth grade

119
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: reading level to understand this in the Pennsylvania State Constitution.

120
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: But because we have in the state of Pennsylvania a

121
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: five to two Democrat supermajority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court,

122
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Like they don't interpret the Constitution in

123
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: the same way that we conservatives do. They're not constitutional purists.

124
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: Right, Scott.

125
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: So every single challenge, even though we had favorable ruling

126
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: on the Commonwealth Court, every single challenged Acts seventy seven,

127
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: the unconstitutional mail and no Excuse absentee ballot mail and

128
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: ballot program here in the state of Pennsylvania. Every challenge

129
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: was struck down at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court regardless of

130
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: what the Constitution says. And so you're one hundred percent right.

131
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: These races are so so important. And in the Wisconsin

132
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race would blew me away, Scott,

133
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: is that there's already been thirty million dollars spent in

134
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: that race. How is that possible?

135
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: And it's all coming from California, it's coming from New York,

136
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: it's coming out of state for Justice Daniel's liberal opponent,

137
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: because they understand just as we do what's at stake.

138
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: They know they're going to be able to get rid

139
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: of voter ID and have dropboxes should they be victorious

140
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: on April fourth. And that's why I'm trying to nationalize

141
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: the selection and I'm screaming at the rooftops trying to

142
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,119
Speaker 2: get anyone that will listen to me about the importance

143
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: of when.

144
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: On it you you are. This is what this is.

145
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: What I think is so great about you, Scott, is

146
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: that you've been doing this for a long time and

147
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: you do a lot of the work that is hard work.

148
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: It's unsexy work. Somehow you've managed to make the Wisconsin

149
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Supreme Court race sexy, as you said. But some these

150
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: races for the longest time in our party, Scott, I mean,

151
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: they're not races for president or US Senate or governor.

152
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: They're they're judicial races, off cycle races. Do you think

153
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: that our party as a whole Maybe maybe, I'm certainly

154
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: you do, and elements of the grassroots do really, which

155
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: by the way, those are the door kickers, those are

156
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the people who get the mission accomplished. But do you

157
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: think the leadership in the more establishment inside the beltway types,

158
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: do you think they get this?

159
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm not trying to put you on try to

160
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: put you on the spot.

161
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know how to answer that question because

162
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: I'm so I'm trying so hard to be respectful because

163
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: I am team player. Of course, you believe in building

164
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: the brand of the Republican Party, and at the end

165
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: of the day, I'm going to vote for the Republican

166
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: because the worst Republican is better than the best Democrat.

167
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: Period.

168
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: I'm a brand builder, and it's difficult for me when

169
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: we just have an RNC race where ninety percent of

170
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: the base across the country of the Republican Party wanted change,

171
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: wanted new leadership, and our.

172
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: Party leaders didn't listen to us. They didn't listen.

173
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: To the very people that are the doorknockers, are the

174
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: phone callers, are the people that provide jobs for these

175
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 2: people by donating to the party, And so it's very

176
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: difficult for me. But at this point I'm leaving all

177
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: of that aside. My focus and priority is working as

178
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: a team to make sure we're electing Justice Senior Kelly

179
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on April fourth.

180
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

181
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I very much appreciate the

182
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: discipline on the messaging there. I mean that is a

183
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,239
Speaker 1: hallmark of any successful activist, any successful candidate, any successful

184
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: leader in the concer servative movement, which of course you are, Scott.

185
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: How do you I want to back off of all

186
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: of this, right, And I want to ask you, how

187
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: did Scott Presler find him?

188
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 2: So?

189
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: How did you get into all this? Scott?

190
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: And then?

191
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: And then?

192
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: And then the follow on question to that is how

193
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: does it feel? Does it feel a little bit surreal

194
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: to be You've got one point three million people who

195
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: follow you on Twitter one point three million, so clearly

Speaker 1: in the country. And I'll tell you anytime you come

199
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania, anytime you come to Pennsylvana, it doesn't matter

00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: where it is, it's like.

201
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: Oh, Scott Presler's coming to town. This is this is awesome,

Speaker 3: this is great.

203
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: How did how did you go from from being just

204
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: a kid watching from the sidelines to be in one

205
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: of the most influential people in the country.

206
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: Thank you?

207
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: Well, a little bit of background on I guess Scott

208
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: Presler is.

209
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 3: Well my beyond just a guy with a great head

210
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: of hair.

211
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is the hair that is part of the alert,

212
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: my tiren call. And my dad is a retired Navy captain.

213
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: So I was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and my mom

214
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: is a loving, supportive housewife, and I moved to Virginia

215
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: when my dad was stationed up there working at the

216
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: War College, and then he went on to work at

217
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: the Department of Defense at the Pentagon. And so I

218
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: started off as a dog walker. After graduating from George

219
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: Mason University with a degree in criminal justice, couldn't find

220
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: a job. This was after the President Obama years, so

221
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: it was very difficult for me to find my place

222
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 2: in society. And I worked at an elementary school to

223
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: get my start, and when President Obama was reelected in

224
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: twenty twelve, it was that night of his reelection that

225
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: I created my Twitter account because I was mad, but

226
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: I wasn't just mad at President Obama. I pointed the

227
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: finger back at myself and I said, Scott, where were

228
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: you knocking on doors? Where were you registering voters? Where

229
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: were you getting out the vote? And I realized that

230
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: my inaction meant that I was a part of the problem,

231
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: and that in order for me to be a part

232
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: of the solution, I had to translate my anger into action.

233
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: My first ever political job was moving to Texas, halfway

234
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: across the country. I didn't know a soul there, and

235
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: I worked to help elect now Governor Greg Abbott in

236
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: the great City of Texas, then focusing on the White House.

237
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 2: I never wanted Hillary Clinton to ever set foot in.

238
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 4: That White House, and so I moved.

239
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: Back to Virginia and worked tirelessly with our friends in

240
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: Michigan and Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, which delivered helping to elect Donald

241
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: Trump as the forty fifth President of the United States

242
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: of America. But my life Sean changed forever in twenty

243
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: nineteen when President Trump brought attention to the city of Baltimore, Maryland,

244
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: and again I was reminded of the inaction that I

245
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: felt in twenty twelve when President Obama was reelected, because

246
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: I saw that everybody on social media, they were posting

247
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: about the trash of Baltimore. They were getting likes and

248
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: retweets that plicked, but nobody was offering a hand to

249
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: help the people. And I tweeted out, I'm going to

250
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: the city of Baltimore. The tweet went viral across the country,

251
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: and within seven days we organized to clean up and

252
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: we picked up twelve tons of trash in twelve hours

253
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: in one day in the most dangerous streets of the country.

254
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: And I thought to myself. Wait a second, I'm not

255
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,359
Speaker 2: the government. I don't have millions of dollars at my disposal.

256
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm a private citizen with a Twitter account. And look

257
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: at what I.

258
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: Was able to accomplish.

259
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: And I thought to myself, why don't we do this

260
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: everywhere across the country?

261
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 4: And we did.

262
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: We went to Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Decine, at Detroit, Houston, Colnosa,

263
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Nashville, Portland, Pittsburgh, Bully and I

264
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: was protested for picking up trash on the streets of

265
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: San Francisco, California.

266
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: Why why.

267
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 4: They called me a bigot?

268
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: That I was picking up trash and we were picking

269
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: up needles, and we were helping the homeless community. And

270
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: we have people dressed in the all black come up

271
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: and say go home, bigots, And so I shouted back

272
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: at them because I couldn't be heard otherwise, and I said,

273
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: will you help us pick up trash? And spoiler alert,

274
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: they didn't help us.

275
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: What about So what about the cleaning up of trash?

276
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Like? How did you find yourself? I mean, I know

277
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: you saw people talking about the devastation in Baltimore. It's

278
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: a city that is it's been through the ringer for

279
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: a real long time. I mean, I think it's been

280
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: under Democrat leadership for the better part of sixty years now, right. Yeah,

281
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: everything about you, Scott, it speaks to something near and

282
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: dear to my heart, which is deeds, deeds and not words,

283
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: you know. And that was like one of the mottos

284
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: of one of the units in the military that we served,

285
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: like watch what people do, not what people say, and

286
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: one of the things as a political outsider when I

287
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: ran for office in twenty twenty, like I had no

288
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: political experience, just like you, like I had sort of

289
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: been watching from the sidelines. It's always I've always been

290
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: tangentially involved, whether it was advising members of the House

291
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: or the Senate, or advocating for good policies as it

292
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: pertains the veterans, or national security stuff whatever. But in

293
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: politics there are a lot of people that have a

294
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: lot of basically, there are a lot of good idea fairies,

295
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, but very few people who are willing to

296
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: do to work. So how did you make that connection?

297
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Did you see something happen in Baltimore and just say

298
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: a lot of talking, but not a whole lot of action,

299
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: and you just felt like you needed to do something,

300
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Like where did that come from?

301
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: In you?

302
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: Well?

303
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: President Trump was retweeting Kim klaistix of it, of the devastation,

304
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: and I just thought.

305
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 4: To myself, why isn't anybody doing anything?

306
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 2: Just do something? And you know, my dad's a retired

307
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: Navy captain. I'm an Eagle Scout, so I've lived a

308
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 2: life of seeing others serve their country. And I thought, well,

309
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: I'm not serving in our United States military, but maybe

310
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: I can serve in a very different capacity. And I

311
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 2: just took up the mantle and said why can't I?

312
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: And more importantly, I will. And when I found out

313
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: that we could do it, it just transformed into let's

314
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: do it everywhere, Let's help people, and let's use the

315
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: platform that we have to do good.

316
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an amazing life lesson for anybody who's watching.

317
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: Really is there?

318
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, a lot of people talk, lots of

319
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: great ideas, but very little action in this world. I mean,

320
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: can you imagine if the Republican Party Scott had a

321
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: thousand of you, do you think that we would ever

322
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: lose elections?

323
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

324
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: My gosh, I think that we would transform this country

325
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: for the better.

326
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: No more.

327
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, I agree. I mean, how do

328
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: you so you talked about the influence of your father

329
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: being in the navy and your mom being a stay

330
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: at home mom, how they influenced you in all of this.

331
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, I bet you that they're

332
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: I think that they probably be proud of you.

333
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 4: They are.

334
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: I was just on the phone with my ma this

335
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: morning for some good news.

336
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: We're very close. You know, I really hit the jackpot.

337
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: My mom and dad still to this day they've been married,

338
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: I believe for forty one years. Don't hurt me, Mom

339
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: and Dad if I got that correct, and they share

340
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: true love. My dad still calls my ma his bride,

341
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: which I just I think that's the most adorable thing.

342
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: And I love that they were always there for me

343
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: and my family and still to this day, my dad,

344
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: every time I have to fly somewhere, he'll always take

345
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: me to the airport.

346
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: He'll pick me up.

347
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: My Ma, even though I'm an adult, she'll be like,

348
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: let me do your laundry.

349
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 4: So I just I got so lucky.

350
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: I live in a loving household that supports the work

351
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: that I do, and my mom and Dad told me

352
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: they believe I'm helping to save the country.

353
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: So I'm grateful.

354
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there's I mean, there's no question about that, right,

355
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: and like one of the most important I mean, I'll

356
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: speak for you, but it seems like that one of

357
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: the most important components, or at least the central focus

358
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: of so much of what you do is election integrity.

359
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: And obviously there are different laws in every state.

360
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: But where where do you.

361
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: Think that our party has to go from here to

362
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: make the biggest impact with regards to securing our elections,

363
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: both in this off cycle in Wisconsin and moving forward.

364
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's a lot of things to start. We can't

365
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: have election integrity, and we can't have people vote unless

366
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: they are registered voters. And so number one is we

367
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: must have a robust voter registration operation. And that's why

368
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: every single weekend, yes I see you retweet me every

369
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: single week when I cook the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania numbers,

370
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: because we consistently are beating the Democrats. We're outperforming them

371
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: and getting people to either registers or Republican or change

372
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, and we're making

373
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: big games. Especially it's my contention, then in the next

374
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: five to ten years, I believe southwest Pennsylvania will.

375
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 4: Be bright, ruby red.

376
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: I mean we're seeing Fayette and Crawford and Butler and

377
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: Beaver and Erie and Alleghany. We're getting all of those

378
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: counties which are slowly but surely moving to the right.

379
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: And we're even making inroads in Philadelphia of all places, Delaware, Lee, High, Scranton,

380
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: and so we must continue to register voters at their

381
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: current location. Now, some people may not like what I

382
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: have to say, but I'm going to be honest with you,

383
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: and I want to I want you to lend your

384
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: ear to me for a moment.

385
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 4: Please.

386
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: It's my contention that if Republicans don't have an all

387
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: of the above approach to voting going into twenty twenty

388
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: three and beyond into the presidential election twenty twenty four,

389
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: we're simply not going to be successful and we're going

390
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: to be doomed to continue failing and losing elections. And

391
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: what I mean by that is, yes, we're voting on

392
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 2: election day, but we must also engage in early voting,

393
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: early in person voting, mail and voting, absentee voting, and

394
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: where legal ballot harvesting. And that's why on January twenty

395
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: third of this year, I launched a super pack called

396
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: Early Vote Action Early vote Action dot Com. I'm focused

397
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 2: on five key states Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

398
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: If we are able to win those five states, we

399
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 2: win the presidency in twenty twenty four.

400
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so true. And and you talk specifically

401
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: with regards to Pennsylvania. The Democrats have like a four

402
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: hundred plus thousand voter registration advantage, as you mentioned, Republicans

403
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: are chipping away at every day. But what frustrates me is,

404
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, our party here in the state of Pennsylvania,

405
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: and I will say this not you, but you know

406
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: we're spending six figures still trying to figure out how

407
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: to win and develop an early voting program, a mail

408
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: in ballot program. I mean, but you the first phase

409
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: of that operation, you said it has to be focused

410
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: on voter registration, right, we have to close that window

411
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: in the state of Pennsylvania. I mean, look, the bottom

412
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: line is Democrats statewide in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can

413
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: win without a single Republican vote. That gives them an

414
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: enormous advantage, especially when it comes to early voting with

415
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, you look at John Fetterman as a perfect example,

416
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: right Scott, where by the time he walked on that

417
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: debate stage, Democrats had a grassroots operation in the state

418
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania. We had five hundred thousand or something like that,

419
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: something insanely an early vote advantage over doctor Oz. That's

420
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: simply not sustainable. And so if we can fix that,

421
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: like focus on closing that window and then have an

422
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: early mail in ballot early vote program where you're focusing

423
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: on low propensity voters and who I mean by that,

424
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: like target the people that only President Donald Trump could

425
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: bring out. That guy brought out the craziest cross section

426
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: of voters in the state of Pennsylvania. People that had

427
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: never voted in their entire life turned out in twenty

428
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: sixteen and then again in twenty twenty to vote for

429
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: President Trump. We need to find and identify who those

430
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: people were buying large who stay home during these off

431
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: cycle races and stayed home during the Oz Oz Betterman race, like,

432
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: we need to get them at ballot like every single cycle,

433
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: make sure that they're voting to give ourselves a floor

434
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: and ultimately, like you said, if we don't do this,

435
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to We're going to lose these states.

436
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: Scott Well, and I'd like to touch on a few

437
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 2: things and speak directly to the viewer and listener at home.

438
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: I am a huge proponent of election integrity. I've been

439
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: fighting for this since the twenty twenty presidential election, trying

440
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 2: to pass laws across the country. And I want to

441
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: be overt by saying I don't agree with what the

442
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: Democrats are doing with all their tools, but right now,

443
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: many of those tools are currently legal. And I'm saying,

444
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 2: for example, ballot harvesting in Nevada, in California, that is

445
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 2: currently legal. And I understand when people say they want

446
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: one day, one vote, one paper ballot. The unfortunate nature

447
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: of our circumstance is we currently are not going to

448
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: be able to do so with Democrat governors in Michigan, Pennsylvania,

449
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: and Wisconsin.

450
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 4: And so the.

451
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: Strategy is we can only provide for layers of election

452
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 2: and integrity if we win, So use an all of

453
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: the above approach to voting in order to win, and

454
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: then yield that power, harness that power to then, once

455
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 2: we're in power, provide for layers of election integrity. Now,

456
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: very briefly, a couple of reasons why people should vote

457
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: early and why it is so critical for Republicans to

458
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: win elections. Number one, look at the Great State forty

459
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: eight in Arizona. We told the Democrats where we were

460
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: throwing the football. We told them we were voting on

461
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: one day. What happened on one day thirty percent of

462
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: machines coincidentally went down, and thousands of Republicans were disenfranchised.

463
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 2: Had we engaged in mail in voting, had we engaged

464
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: in early voting, I believe Carrie Lake would be governor

465
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: of the Great State forty eight today. Number two, you

466
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: hit the nail on the head. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

467
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 2: By the time that doctor Oz and John Fetterman had

468
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 2: their first and only debate, five hundred thousand Pennsylvanians already voted,

469
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: already cast their ballots, and were even worse, Four out

470
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: of five of those voters were registered Democrats.

471
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 4: What does that mean.

472
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: That means that four hundred thousand Democrats have already voted,

473
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 2: meaning that they are narrowing the focus and scope of

474
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 2: people that they have to reach out to so they

475
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: have more time, money, and resources to contact people that

476
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: haven't voted, while Republicans were all waiting to vote on

477
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: one day right, meaning that we have less time, fewer resources,

478
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: and everybody to reach out to in order to make

479
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: sure that they're voting in thirteen hours while the Democrats

480
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: are voting for sixty days two months. It's an unleveled

481
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: playing field. And last people make fun of me, but y'all,

482
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: it's been snowing every day here in Wisconsin. And do

483
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: you know what happened on election Day in Nevada in

484
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. It's snowed in Washoe County and Reno,

485
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: where the Republican people, our mountain folk like to live.

486
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: And Adam lax Salt, running for Senate, lost by eight

487
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 2: thousand votes. Do you know how many Republicans stayed home

488
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: on election Day in twenty twenty two? One hundred and

489
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 2: fifty thousand Republicans stayed home. It's my contention that Nevada

490
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: is not a purple or blue state. It's a red state.

491
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 2: We don't have a voter problem. We have a voter

492
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: turnout problem. And if we engaged in early in person voting,

493
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: early voting, mail in voting absity voting and legal ballot harvesting,

494
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: we will have a much more level playing field and

495
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: the ability to win elections going into twenty twenty three

496
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: and beyond.

497
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: God, Scott, what a great point. Having run two elections myself,

498
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 1: of course, it dawned on me that you know, the

499
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: more early votes you can bank, the more surgical, more

500
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: surgical focus I guess you can bring to the fight.

501
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: You can focus. Okay, look like it's just a it's

502
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: a matter of looking at a spreadsheet, right, like, Okay,

503
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: we've got these people have already voted. Let's make sure

504
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: that this group of people over here, let's make sure

505
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: they get to the polls. And what Republicans do for

506
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: the longest time is they focus on running great campaigns.

507
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 1: And oftentimes, you know, sometimes republic I mean Republicans by

508
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: and large, like they've got solid volunteers, they've got great

509
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: people like you on our side, who are who are

510
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: all about they believe in the country, they love the country,

511
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: they love the constitution. But you're right, they're just showing

512
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: up on election day and there's not really not enough

513
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: focus on elections. And I feel like in order to

514
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: run a great campaign moving forward, Republicans have to focus

515
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: on both one running campaigns, of course, and two on

516
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: election law and the actual focus on the game of elections,

517
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: which is, of course it's now become with early voting

518
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: and mail in voting, and man, when you describe it

519
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: like that, it feels like our party, especially in these

520
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: critical swing states, are our way behind the power curve.

521
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: Scott Well part of it too, Sean, is it psychological?

522
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is I always bring

523
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: people's attention back to twenty sixteen in Florida and Ohio

524
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: because the Democrats were pushing early voting hard right, and

525
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: I remember all of the pundits and pollsters. They were

526
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: saying Hillary Clinton insurmountable vote lead Republicans and Donald Trump

527
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: can't possibly win because Florida and Ohio are going for Hillary.

528
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: How many people didn't vote because they had in their

529
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: head that it was baked in for Hillary Clinton or

530
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: that we couldn't win Florida and Ohio. Yes we did,

531
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: but how many people were disenfranchised because they listened to

532
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: the media. And where I'm going with this is I

533
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: want to bring it back to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

534
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: I'll never forget March twenty eighteen Rick Secone versus Connor

535
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: Lamb and Pennsylvania's seventeenth Congressional District. I remember that Connor

536
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: Lamb was bringing in so much money, money from outside

537
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: of thebout the Pennsylvania and I remember all the pundits

538
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: saying Connor Lamb double digit lead over Rick Secone. Do

539
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: you know what happened on election day? Rick Secone lost

540
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: by six hundred and twenty seven votes. How many people

541
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: didn't vote because they thought that it was in the

542
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: bag for Connor Lamb. How many people didn't donate, didn't

543
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: send a text message, didn't knock on a door, didn't

544
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: write a letter, didn't make a phone call because they

545
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: thought it was baked in for Connor Lamb. And so

546
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: I want everybody to treat every election as winnable, critical

547
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: and important because had we done just a little bit

548
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: more work than we could have had Congressman Rix sacone

549
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: and we would have never had the Connor Lamb trying

550
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: to run for a higher office than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

551
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's not. I mean, yes, you're one

552
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent right, And I wonder, like our Republicans, do

553
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: we listen too much to the media, because you talked

554
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: about the media's role in the sort of influence operation

555
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: that they have over the psyche of the American people.

556
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: And I think to a certain extent from twenty eighteen

557
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: until now that that stranglehold in the American mind has

558
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: loosened up a little bit. But are we listening too

559
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: much to the media.

560
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: Well, we are, However, I argue that it worked in

561
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: our favor in twenty twenty two because the media had

562
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: to accurately report that for the first time in history,

563
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: did you know that Republicans led in early in person

564
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: voting and mail in voting and the state of Florida

565
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: that has never happened ever. We were winning early voting

566
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: in Miami Dade, we were doing great and do Vall, Jacksonville, Clearwater,

567
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: Panelas County, Florida, a seminole Florida. We were winning in

568
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: areas of the state that are traditionally purple, if not blue.

569
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: And because of that, I argue that the psychological effect

570
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: actually worked on the contrary, and Democrats were going, oh

571
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: my gosh, Charlie christ can't win.

572
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 4: Ron Decianus is going to win.

573
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 2: And so if we have a robust early voting strategy

574
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: going into twenty twenty four, that psychological effect is going

575
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: to work in our favor.

576
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a great point. You think we can turn

577
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: it around fast enough?

578
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: I do.

579
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: I do, And that's why we're building the infrastructure right here,

580
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 4: right now.

581
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: So what can people do? Scott? What can people? What

582
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: can people do who are watching those? What can we

583
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: do to help you? You said you have a simple pack, right,

584
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: tell us about it?

585
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: Well, I launched Early Vote Action Early Voteaction dot com

586
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: and again we're focused on Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,

587
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: and Wisconsin. However, we're also building sister cities. And what

588
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: I mean by that is there are areas of the

589
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: country that are so blue or so red that they

590
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: often get overlooked or underlooked. For example, a million people

591
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 2: voted for President Donald Trump out of Los Angeles County.

592
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: You wouldn't think it, but California has more registered Republicans

593
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: than anywhere in the entire country. Why are we not

594
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: utilizing those underutilized Republicans? So, for example, Los Angeles can

595
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: partner with Orange County to make sure Orange County flip's red,

596
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: or partner with Arizona Nevada, Chicago can partner with Wisconsin, Tennessee,

597
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 2: which is blood red, can partner with North Carolina, and

598
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: the Great States of New York, Delaware, and Maryland can

599
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: help focus on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to flip that

600
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: state red. And so we're going to be partnering with

601
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: people across the country focusing on those five key seats

602
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: to make sure that we are victorious in twenty twenty four.

603
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: That's God, Scott, that is so smart. I mean, I

604
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: have to ask I've got to ask you so much

605
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: of what you're doing. You know, we talked about it.

606
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: This is really really difficult work, like registering. People don't

607
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: realize how difficult it is to register a voter. You know,

608
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: it's almost more difficult then well, it definitely is more

609
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: difficult than convincing someone to vote for you. You're convincing

610
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: someone when you're when you're trying to convince them the

611
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: register about buying into an ideology that reflects their belief

612
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: system as it pertains to a country or the direction

613
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: of our country. And it's really really difficult, man. I mean,

614
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: like a good day if you have somebody who's out

615
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: register and voters, a good day of registering voters, like

616
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: three to five voters, you know, and so a lot

617
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: of people. I mean, what I'm getting to Scott is

618
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: that a lot of people say, well, that's just too hard,

619
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 1: Like I'm not going to do that, and it's un

620
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: sexy and it's different. Call it and you're you know,

621
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: you're also out there knocking doors and you're out there

622
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: getting signatures and doing all the stuff that make that

623
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: are the lifeblood of a successful campaign, right, And how

624
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: do you inspire people to join your cause? Because there

625
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: are volunteers and grassroots activists who are watching this that

626
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: are trying to replicate exactly what you're doing. So much

627
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: of what you're doing, I mean, you're you're a leader, right,

628
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: and you're inspiring action to the people that follow you.

629
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: How do you how can people replicate what you're doing? Well?

630
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: Number One, in order for us to be successful, we

631
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: have to meet people where we are. We have to

632
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: find the issue that is most important to the voter,

633
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: and that's how we're going to win them over. So,

634
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: whether it's school choice or medical freedom, election integrity, backing

635
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: the blue, whatever their issue is, we have to meet

636
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: them where we are, where they are and That's why

637
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: we did, for example, gas station voter registration, because we

638
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: were meeting them at the gas pump when they were

639
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 2: saying that it was upwards of one hundred dollars to

640
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 2: fill up their tank. Thanks to President Biden, no smart

641
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: pipeline on day number one, and we've been able to

642
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: flip for example, in Nasa County, a blue county that

643
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: voted for Joe Biden, which flipped Rett in twenty twenty two,

644
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: and we were getting people to switch from Democrat to

645
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: a Republican literally at the gas pump. So let's go

646
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: to supermarkets, Let's go to flea markets and food markets,

647
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 2: and let's go to gun shops and gun shows. You

648
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: can go to gunshowtrader dot com and every single gun

649
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: show for the entire United States, for all fifty states,

650
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: is on that website. Call up the individual vendor. Hey,

651
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: my name is Sean Parnell. I would like permission to

652
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: register voters at your gun show. I'm not going to

653
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 2: be pushing politics. I'm simply going to be registering people

654
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: to vote so they have a voice in the next election. Boom,

655

Speaker 2: who's going to be going to a gun show? Literally,

656
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: no pun intended. They're going to be your two A

657
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 2: second amendment voters. Why do we not have volunteers there

658
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 2: doing volunteer recruitment and voter registration switching. But here's my promise.

659
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: My promise is to any viewer at home that's watching this,

660
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,160

00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: voter registration and how easy it is to make sure

667
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 2: that we are closing that gap in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

672
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: and the Republican Party. I hope they take notice. I know,

673
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: I know that they're noticing what you're doing. And just

Speaker 2: your service to our country and your continued service to

680
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And I also want to give

681
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 2: a shout out to Chairman Sam DeMarco.

682
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: Oh, my man, my mission work.

683
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: In Allegheny County, and so if any of you are

684
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 2: listening and you're in Southwest PA, I urge and encourage

685
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: you to join your local Republican Party, even if you're

686
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: disillusioned with it, but know that we do have leaders

687
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: like Sam that are going to welcome the grassroots, welcome

688
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: you into the party, and make sure that we are

689
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: working together to not only win the Pennsylvania State Supreme

690
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: Court seat this November, that we have the opportunity to

691
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: flip from blue to red, which would give the Democrats

692
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: only a four to three narrow majority on the Court,

693
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: which would be huge, but it will set us up

694
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 2: for victory in twenty twenty four.

695
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: You've got to win.

696
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: And you're absolutely right. Sam demarcer is a great patriot

697
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, Alleghany County most populous Republican county.

698
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: In the entire state, it typically goes for Democrats. But

699
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: but Sam is he does a real good job, outnumbered

700
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: by Democrats two to one, and it's Alleghanty County is

701
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: such a critically important county, and so totally agree with you.

702
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: Sam's a great patriot. You're a great patriot to Scott.
