Today, 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: we're talking about the Garden State. The New Jersey gubinatorial 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: race is this Tuesday between Democrat Mikey Cheryl and Republican 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Jack Chitarelli. So we're going to talk to Jack Chittarelli 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: on the show today. Some good news and Emerson Pole 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: shows him within one percentage point of Mikey Cheryl, So 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: he is closing the gap in this election at a 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: perfect time, right ahead of Tuesday's November election. Now, people 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: got to get out and vote, which is part of 11 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: the conversation we're going to be having. But you look 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: at a state right now, in New Jersey where the 13 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Democrat Governor Phil Murphy, he is underwater. People are dissatisfied 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: with his governance. The majority of New Jersey voters they 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: want change. The top issue is the economy. So Jack 16 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: Chitarelli could be that change for those voters. He's also 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: received President Trump's endorsement as well, so we're going to 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: dig into this tightening race where he's got momentum, the 19 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: big issues and why they matter.

I'm sure you've 30 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: seen it. It has you down by just one. I mean, 31 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: this race is really tightened. 32 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: Over the weeks. Why do you think we've seen so 33 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: much movement? 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: Well, listen, loll along. 35 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 4: We felt that this was a very very close race, 36 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 4: keeping in mind that Republicans typically under pole in New 37 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 4: Jersey because we're out numbed by so many people. But 38 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 4: we're writ in position deliver it win. This is exactly 39 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 4: what we expected to happen. And all I could tell 40 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: is compared to twenty twenty one when I thought I 41 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: was going to win, this time, the energy is electric. 42 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 4: The reception in minority communities all across the state has. 43 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: Been overwhelmingly positive. 44 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 4: And when Democratic elected leaders are endorsing the Republican nominee, as. 45 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: Has been the case with me. It tells you people 46 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: want change. 47 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 4: So I'm not surprised one bit by the polls. I 48 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 4: just feel like we're in a great position to deliver 49 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 4: a win on Tuesday. 50 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: Has it been thirteen prominent Democrats or how many Democrats 51 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: have endorsed you? 52 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: I think of something like that, right. 53 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 54 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 4: I mean we picked up another one last weekend with 55 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 4: the deputy mayor up in Bergen County, So all across 56 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 4: the state Democrats have endorsed me, and I'm. 57 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: Humbled and honored by it. But again, it only. 58 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: Emphasizes how much people want change after eight years of 59 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 4: failed policies by Phil Murphy, all of which, by the way, 60 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: have been endorsed by my opponent. 61 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: And you almost beat him in twenty twenty one, I 62 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: think the Roal Clor Politics average was off by like 63 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: five percentage points. Do you feel like we're sing that 64 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: again with some of the polling this cycle? 65 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 4: You know, Lisa, there are very few polls I trust 66 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 4: other than our interal poling, I really do. I mean, listen, 67 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 4: many of these polls that had me down right now 68 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: by three or four points, had Kamala Harris win in 69 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 4: New Jersey last year by twenty plus, and they're the 70 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 4: same ones that had me down by twelve with a 71 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 4: week to go last time. 72 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: I trust our internal polling. 73 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 4: There are a couple out there that we trust, but 74 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 4: we just think we're in a really, really good position, again, 75 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: keeping in mind that Republicans typically under poll in New Jersey. 76 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. 77 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: Because your opponent, Mikey Cheryl, a lot of people have 78 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: said she's very similar to Kamala Harris, just sort of 79 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: like awkward on stage and ability to answer questions. 80 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: Do you see those similarities. 81 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: What's obvious to me is that they took this election 82 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 4: for granted because there's so many more Democrats than Republicans. 83 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 4: But if you look at history, when the Democrat and 84 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 4: office has failed or the candidate stinks moderate Democrats will 85 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: vote Republican, it's not a deep blue state when it 86 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: comes to Gubnant our elections. And the manner in which 87 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 4: he's gone about this campaign, whether it's their interviews, being 88 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: out on the stump or lack thereof, it really has 89 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: proven what we're dealing with in her case is somebody 90 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 4: who's ill prepared and really unqualified for the job, you. 91 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: Know, and she's been asked before about increasing her net 92 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: worth pretty so substantially since getting elected to Congress. Do 93 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: you have questions about that or you know, I guess 94 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: why do you think she was unable to explain it, 95 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: particularly in that interview on the Breakfast Club with Charlemage 96 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: and the God. 97 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 4: There's questions of integrity and there's questions of character. It 98 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 4: starts with her Naval Academy attendants, where she was severely 99 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 4: punished for not being allowed to participate in the graduation. 100 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: She hasn't come perfectly clean as to why that's the case. 101 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: Then she gets to Congress in a six years time, 102 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: triples her net worth, but yet can't answer the question 103 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 4: as to how that happened. I mean, come on, who 104 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 4: wouldn't know if they made seven million dollars? 105 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 3: Okay? 106 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 4: And we also know that she violated federal law how 107 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 4: to pay fines for stock trades and stock reporting as 108 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 4: a congress person. 109 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 3: New York Times reports. 110 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: She's trading defense stocks while sitting in the House Armed 111 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: Services Committee. 112 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 3: I mean, again, this speaks to character. 113 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 4: But listen, the worst attribute of all is that she's 114 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 4: not from New Jersey, and she's proven that with her 115 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: inability to talk to the issues that matter and provide 116 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 4: NOORDI to you provide any solutions. 117 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: How much of this you know? 118 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: You look at the polling and like the majority of 119 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: voters in New Jersey they say the economy's the top issue. 120 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: I've seen polls where you know, I think it's something 121 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: like fifty five percent they want change. You look at 122 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: Governor Phil Murphy's numbers. Who's the Democrat governor currently totally underwater, 123 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: like people are very frustrated with him. 124 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: Do you think this is going to be a change election? 125 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: Do you think voters in New Jersey are ready for 126 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: a Republican I think it's been thirteen years since Chris 127 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Christy won his last re election. 128 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: Absolutely, they're ready for change because of all the failures 129 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 4: of the current administration, which again have been endorsed by 130 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 4: my opponent. 131 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: I mean, let's just look across the board. 132 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 4: They've raised taxes dramatically in the eight years in office, 133 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 4: They've increased spending by sixty four percent, and nobody's better off. 134 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: We have a public education crisis in the state. We 135 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 4: slip from two to twelve on the national report card. 136 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 4: We have a public safety in the crisis in the 137 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: state because they've handcuffed our police and with casualists bail, 138 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 4: professional criminals have learned how to how to gain the system. 139 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 4: And of course just the affordability crisis, not just because 140 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: the taxes, it's housing, it's childcare, it's across the board. 141 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: All the insurances have gone up. And so for all 142 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 4: these reasons and more, people are really just pissed. I 143 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 4: mean even the suburban communities. We've got this over development 144 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 4: crisis that's taking place because with the social engineering the 145 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 4: Democrats are doing with high density housing, they're taking garden 146 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 4: right out of the garden state. 147 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 3: So for all these reasons and more, people have just 148 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: had it. 149 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 4: And what we've been able to do is go out 150 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: there and say very specifically how we're going to solve 151 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 4: each one of those problems. 152 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: That's always been a trade of mind. I try to give. 153 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 4: People specifics so that you get excited about ideas and 154 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 4: so hope for change. 155 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: You know, you're a successful business guy, what do you 156 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: want this? 157 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 2: Why do you want to be governor? 158 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 4: This state has been very good that the Chedda rallies. 159 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 4: We've been here for one hundred years, three generations of 160 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 4: Cheddarellies have all achieved our American dream here, and when 161 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 4: something I love is broken, I want to fix it. 162 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: So this is not a vanity tour. I've already had 163 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: the best titles in the world, whether it was son, brother, husband, 164 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 4: and father. It's not that I need the job. I've 165 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 4: been very, very fortunate and only my own businesses. But again, 166 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 4: when something I love is broken, I want to fix it. 167 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 3: And I do believe that my brand. 168 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: Of leadership will make a difference in making New Jersey 169 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 4: a more affordable place, a safer place. 170 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: With a great educational system. Those are the issues, and 171 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: I've got very specific ideas and how to fix them. 172 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: You know, walk me through some of those. Like you, 173 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: what would you say if you had to pick, like 174 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: your top three ideas that you think would make the 175 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: biggest impact in New Jersey? 176 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: What would they be? 177 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: Number One? 178 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 4: Everybody's got their electricity bill on their mind because it's 179 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 4: gone through the roof because the Murphy administration has failed 180 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 4: us with their energy policies. So number one, on day one, 181 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 4: by executive order, I pull us out of REGIE, the 182 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is a carbon tax policy that 183 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 4: has failed New Jerseys. 184 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: And by pulling out, which I can do. 185 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: By executive order, I can lower people's monthly bills significantly. 186 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: The second thing we got to do is reduce the 187 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 4: size and cost of our state government to afford a 188 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 4: tax cut for individuals and businesses who are the most 189 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: overtaxed and the highest tax in the nation. And the 190 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: third thing I can do, particularly for families with K 191 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 4: through twelve children, is fix the educational system. We got 192 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 4: to get our public school crick and back on track, reading, writing, math, science, civics, 193 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: and get rid of that other stuff the Murphy's put 194 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: in there that. 195 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: Belongs at home. Those are three things we can do 196 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 3: right off the bat. 197 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: You've got to take a quick break. 198 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: If you like what you're hearing, please share on social 199 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: media or maybe send it to your family and friends. 200 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: What do you think New Jersey would look like under 201 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: Mikey Cheryl if she were to win? 202 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 4: Goodness, please said, it's more of the same, only worse. 203 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 4: I mean, she's endorsed every one of these failed policies. 204 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: She's endorsed Mandami Mundami's endorsed her. It would just be 205 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: more of the same, only worse. And we cannot afford 206 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 4: another four years of Phil Murphy failed policies, which is exactly. 207 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 3: What we'll get. 208 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 4: So she's owned by party bosses, she's owned by special interests, 209 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: whether it's the teachers' union, the state workers' union, it 210 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 4: would be a disaster. 211 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: You know, parental rights has become an issue in this 212 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: race as well. Why do you think Democrats keep doubling 213 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: down on things like letting men play in or you know, 214 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: boys men play in women's sports, and that. 215 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 4: When you say Democrats, that includes my opponent. She voted 216 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 4: yes twice for biological boys to participate in girls' sports. 217 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I just don't understand it. It's one of 218 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: those eighty twenty issues. So listen. I'm all about inclusivity. 219 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 4: I'm all about everybody feeling welcome. I'm all about everybody 220 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: feeling safe. But I'm also about what's fair. So I mean, 221 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 4: I don't understand that policy one bit. 222 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: Nor do I. 223 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 4: Understand the policy of school districts keeping secrets and parents. 224 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 4: I mean, that's in moral and decent wrong and I 225 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: believe dangerous. So those are two things that change on 226 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 4: day one. 227 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: Has she been forced to explain why she supports men 228 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: and women's sports? So she given any sort of explanation, you. 229 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 4: Know, Lisa, what's been very frustrating is she has gotten 230 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 4: a pass by the press in my opinion as to 231 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 4: what went down at the Naval Academy, what went down 232 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 4: when she was a US attorney. 233 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 3: That one only lasted eleven months. 234 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 4: She brags all the time about being a US attorney 235 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 4: and she's gotten to pass on these particular issues and others. 236 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 4: But part of it is also her not showing up. 237 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: I mean, yesterday was another example where there's five hundred 238 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 4: people in the audience with one of the most important 239 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 4: business advocacies. She doesn't show up time and time again. 240 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 4: She sends a surrogate. And I don't know why the 241 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 4: press is given a pass to somebody who wants to 242 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 4: be governor but doesn't want to interview for the job. 243 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: You know, now the Naval Academy scandal, so there was 244 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: like a plagiarism scandal and she didn't walk and she 245 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: claims it's because she didn't want to rat out her 246 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: navel her fellow Naval Academy grads. Do you think that 247 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: passes the smell test or kind of like, what have 248 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: you heard about that? 249 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: You know, what do we know? Now? 250 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 4: It doesn't pass the smell test for two reasons. Number one, 251 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 4: she's changed her story three times as to why she 252 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 4: was punished. And the second reason is because why won't 253 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 4: she approve the release of her disciplinary records that. 254 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: Would tell us what exactly she did. 255 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 4: If she's telling us the truth, then the disciplinary records 256 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 4: would match what she's saying, but she refuses to release 257 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 4: those records. 258 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: And then also there's been accusations of nepotism of Mikey 259 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: Cheryl sort of using her office to get her kids 260 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: into the naval academy. Now, they were nominated by the 261 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: senators in the state, but you know, I would imagine 262 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have done that if she had not been 263 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: a member of Congress. I guess what do you think 264 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: that says about her of sort of using that position 265 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: of power to let her kids kind of circumvent you know, 266 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: other kids who don't have that political connection. 267 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 3: Well, so, what I found really strange is when she announced. 268 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 4: That there were about a dozen high school graduates from 269 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 4: her congressional district that we're getting into the military academies, 270 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 4: and she listed them all by name, two of which 271 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 4: were her children. I mean, don't you think it's kind 272 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 4: of strange that you would specifically mention these twelve people, 273 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 4: congratulate them, but then not tell people that two of 274 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 4: the twelve are your own kids. 275 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: It's just as very strange, as is the. 276 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 4: Whole naval academy thing, As is tripling her net worth, 277 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 4: as does the New York Times reports on her stock trades, 278 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: as is violating federal law for congress people stock trades 279 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 4: and stock reporting. Again, it just speaks the character. 280 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: You know, early voting is underway. 281 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: Your Democrats have been out in force, kind of what 282 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: are you saying in the early voting numbers and what's 283 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: your message to voters and asking them to get out 284 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: their vote and support you li. 285 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: So we really like what we see. 286 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 4: We've seen the greatest number of Republicans return their vote 287 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 4: by mail ballots. That's a very good sign in the 288 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 4: five days of early voting thus far, because it started 289 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 4: last Saturday, we're matching the Democrats person for person. And 290 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 4: let me tell you, if we go into election day 291 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 4: tied based on vbms and early voting, it's going to 292 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 4: end up being a really good night for Republicans in 293 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: the state of New Jersey because we kill it on 294 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 4: election Day. So I'm really proud of the job our 295 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: local causes have done to get people to get their 296 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 4: vote by mail ballots in and convince people to participate 297 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 4: in early voting. I do think those that are supporting 298 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,119 Speaker 4: Cheddarelly are much more motivated. 299 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 3: And what you see in the polls is. 300 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 4: Something that's easy to overlook, but when there's this thing 301 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 4: called the enthusiasm factor, and the enthusiasm factor mine versus 302 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 4: heroes is off the charts. And people were asking a 303 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 4: poll and went out yesterday, who do you think is 304 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 4: going to win the election? And fifty four percent said 305 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: Jack Cheddarelly. So I just feel that our supporters are 306 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 4: much more motivated, and a lot of it has to 307 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: do with Democrats acknowledging that the last eight years have 308 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 4: been a failure and she's just a repeat of Phil Murphy. 309 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: Well, you've definitely been working about off. 310 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: You know, I've not been a candidate, but I've worked 311 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: on big races, and you know, big state wide races, 312 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: and it's a lot of work. It's very exhausting, you know, 313 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: you and your team have got to be wiped out 314 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: right now, right, So you've been working hard out there. 315 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 3: I appreciate that Lisa. But let me tell you something. 316 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 4: We're exhilarated, we smell the goal line. We've worked extremely hard, 317 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 4: but we're also very disciplined and very committed, energized and determined. 318 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 4: We're going to finish strong on these last four days 319 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: and we'll count the votes on Tuesday. 320 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: But I really like our position. 321 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: Well, you're in New Jersey voter elections Tuesday, November fourth, 322 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: Get out and vote.
