1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest. Today's Democrats are absolutely insane. These

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: aren't your parents Democrats, These aren't your grandparents Democrats.

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: They're crazy.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: So it's not a surprise that maybe some Democrats are saying,

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I should be a Republican. The

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: Democrat Party has left maybe high We'll talk to one

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: of those individuals. Georgia State Representative Mesha mayn Are. She

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: recently switched political parties. It made a ton of news headlines.

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: You might have seen her on the news talking about it.

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: So I'm going to talk to her. I want to

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: find out why she left the Democrat Party, and even

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: beyond that out I want to press her on some issues.

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: Where does she stand on the issue of life, Where

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: does she stand on some of these transgender issues, what

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: does she believe? And why did she switch parties. We're

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: going to talk to her coming up. Georgia State Representative

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: Mesha man Are. Also, she represents a really interesting part

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: of Georgia. It's incredibly liberal. She represents an area of

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: the West side of Atlanta which is ninety percent Democratic,

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: So what does this mean for her future political ambitions?

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: All of that and more Stay with US. Representative it's

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: great to have you on the show. You've made some

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: headlines recently.

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: I have, and I think it's good.

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 4: It's waking Americans up, It's waking up a Democratic population

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: that was once in hibernation, and so I think it's

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: a good thing.

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: You know, so you left the Democratic Party? What spurred that?

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 4: You know?

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: Why make that decision.

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 4: I've been in office for three years, and from the

32
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 4: moment I walked in, it's been difficult working with many

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: of the Democrat colleagues, mainly the legislation that I was

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: bringing to the table to help my constituents in the

35
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: communities I represent. They were trying to sabotage everything. It

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: did not matter what it was. They wanted to sabotage

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: every single thing that had my name on it. I

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: grew thick skin and so that was fine. We came

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: across this school choice vote back in March. I had

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: a fellow colleague to put a thousand dollars check up

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: online for anybody to run against me. Whether they cared

42
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 4: about the community or not. We don't care. We just

43
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: want anybody except Representative Manor. I was still fine with that.

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: It wasn't until that was in March April. But June July,

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: other colleagues just randomly out of the Blues started coming

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: on my social media bashing me, and so it's like, Okay,

47
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: where is this coming from. I haven't seen you since March,

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: and I did some self reflection, Misha. They're bashing you

49
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: about policy issues, and if the issues I'm fighting for

50
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: are not Democrat issues, then maybe I'm a part of

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: the wrong party. And so I just started doing research

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: from there.

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Why do you think school choice, if you look at polling,

54
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: is something that really unites all Americans?

55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Why do you think the left opposes it?

56
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: I think they're opposing it because we have the person

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: that's over you know, the teacher bureaucracy in Georgia. You know,

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: definitely once a week, sometimes more than a week, she

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: is blasting out.

60
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: Video messages about her opinion.

61
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 4: And her opinion includes we must get Nischa Maynor out

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: of office because.

63
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: She supports school choice.

64
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: So she has made it very clear that the Democrats

65
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: are not supposed to support school choice. So to answer

66
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: your question, it's the teachers' union, and the teachers are

67
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: not necessarily for what the teachers unions are saying. I

68
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: had a teacher call me yesterday, not from my district,

69
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: but a teacher in Warner Robbins. She said, I support you.

70
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 4: I think I'm going to turn Republican. And I asked her,

71
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: I said, what do you get from the teachers' union?

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: She said that during COVID she needed to be online,

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: and so the teachers Union was helpful because they were

74
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: able to secure her a position online, But anything else,

75
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: she doesn't see the importance of them.

76
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Well, why do you support school choice? Obviously it's something

77
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: you're passionate about if it led you to switching political parties.

78
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: I'm passionate about school choice because I am that student.

79
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: I grew up in an underserved community. Granted my family

80
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 4: had resources. The community kind of collapsed around my family's home,

81
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: but so my mom shipped me off to go to

82
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 4: school in another community where the schools were performing better.

83
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: That is against the law these days. You can go

84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 4: to jail for that. And if ninety seven percent of

85
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: kids in one school cannot read or perform simple math,

86
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: can you blame the parents. I can't because I'm a

87
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: product of school choice, if you will, and so I'm

88
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: supporting it for every single kid that was just like me,

89
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 4: that needs an opportunity.

90
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: What led you in politics?

91
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 4: I was led really by my spirit. Started off in

92
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: a special election the council member died. It was a

93
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 4: fleeting thought when my mom told me he died. I'm

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: going to run for office. And it wasn't until a

95
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: month or so later someone called me asking for my

96
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 4: support for them as the special election candidate. So I

97
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: did some research. How do you run for office? I

98
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: was the last person to qualify. It was a packed race.

99
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: I did very well for not being in politics, and

100
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 4: people said, look, you should run again. We just didn't

101
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: know anything about you, but you're You're the type of

102
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 4: person we need. But that race went to court and

103
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 4: anybody on the ballot was considered a litigant. And I

104
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: took the opportunity to ask Fullton elections under oath, why

105
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: are the lines for so long? You know, what are

106
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: your processes? They had no processes, et cetera. On my

107
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: spirit said Misha, this is why you ran for city council,

108
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 4: because you're going to run for state office and you're

109
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: going to change some laws. I won the race, and

110
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: one of the very first bills that I introduced was

111
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: about election management processes.

112
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: What's been the reaction so far to switching parties.

113
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: It has been overwhelmingly supportive.

114
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 4: If there was a number greater than one hundred percent

115
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: a percentage, I would say it's greater than one hundred percent.

116
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 4: Support for my Republican colleagues. But not just the colleagues

117
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 4: I work within the Capitol, but across the state of Georgia.

118
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 4: There's all so quite a large amount of Democrat voters

119
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: from all over the state of Georgia saying they feel

120
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: exactly like me. They are completely frustrated with the Democrat Party.

121
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: I said, the Democrat Party has left me there saying

122
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: the same thing. They no longer support the ideals of

123
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: the Democrat Party. As far as my Democrat colleagues, some

124
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: have reached out to say, I'm sorry that it came

125
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: to this. They were treating you terrible. You didn't deserve that,

126
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: so I get it. And then there were other colleagues

127
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: that said, you know, there are a lot of people

128
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: that agree with you. You're just the first one to

129
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: have the guts to do something about it.

130
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: What is today's Democrat Party? I guess how would you

131
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: sum it up or how would you describe it?

132
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 4: I would describe it as policy driven by the things

133
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 4: that they fight for. So in the Capital, the things

134
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 4: that they're fighting for are not economic.

135
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: Opportun unities for marginalized people.

136
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 4: They are not educational opportunities for children in underserved communities.

137
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: It is not workforce development. Georgia has a workforce crisis.

138
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: They're not supporting that. I had a bill that said

139
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 4: if you buy something, you must give the person their

140
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: change back. There was a personal example. I saw someone

141
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: buying some milk for two dollars. He only had a

142
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 4: five dollar bill and a family dollar, which is the

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: grocery store in that community. The store would not give

144
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: him his change back. He was forced to buy the

145
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: milk for five dollars. The bill said, give people their change,

146
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 4: whether it's a store credit or something. You can't just

147
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 4: keep people's money. They didn't support that. So they're supporting

148
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: things that are not kitchen table items.

149
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: I'll say that, well, you know, but they purport to

150
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: be the party for minorities, at least that's how they

151
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: try to position themselves publicly.

152
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: Is that the case?

153
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: I think they may be for certain minorities, not all minorities.

154
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: We've also seen the Left go in certain directions on

155
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: a lot of these cultural issues. You know, on things

156
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: like policing, they've tried to cut budgets and you know

157
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: where they've sort of taken aim at police officers, and

158
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: then you look at issues like transgender issues and things

159
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: of that nature. I mean, on a lot of these

160
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: cultural issues, they've seemed to be going off the deep end.

161
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: How concerned are you about those issues? Do you think

162
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: that's going to lead more people to switching parties or

163
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: to taking another look at Republicans.

164
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: That is why a lot of people are switching parties.

165
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 4: You hit the nail on the head. Before I even

166
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: got into office, I campaigned on public safety. I was

167
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: my first year campaigning. It was during COVID, and that's

168
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: when you know all of the defund the police jargon

169
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 4: was out there. I said, then, I do not support defunding.

170
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 4: The police are sometimes not even showing up in marginalized communities,

171
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 4: so why on earth would I give them a reason

172
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: to not show up. The first thing they will say

173
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 4: is you cut my funding. So I didn't agree with it.

174
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 4: Then I agreed with the school choice. I just I

175
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: think they've lost the voice of people, and I think

176
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: they've gone so far there's no turning back, because if

177
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: they did, there's going to have to be some humility.

178
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: No political party wants to be humble, so they can't say,

179
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: you know, what we were wrong.

180
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: They can, but I don't see them doing.

181
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: That, you know.

182
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: And there's also this effort in you know, Democrat states

183
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: and Democrat areas to to not have it had been

184
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: disclosed to parents if a child wants to change genders.

185
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: You know, where do you think your district aligns with that?

186
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: And where do you think most Americans are on that?

187
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: The census, the US census. From the information received, I

188
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: do believe they are going to They're trying to gather

189
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: more information to see who exactly or how much much

190
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: of the population identifies with LGBQT in any capacity. From

191
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: my perspective, it is not a large percentage of the

192
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 4: population in my district. I do have a large LGBQT community,

193
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: which I support what they need. And so for that question,

194
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to say I support on a lot of things.

195
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: I'm pro choice. I'll give you this example. I'm pro choice.

196
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: I do not believe in abortions for myself or you know,

197
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: life is life. But if someone chooses to do that,

198
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: then that makes me pro choice. If people want to

199
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: do whatever they want to do with their bodies, let

200
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: them do that. But you can't force things on an

201
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 4: entire population, especially if no one's asking to have these

202
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 4: cultural issues being forced upon them with respect.

203
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: Though, if life is life, then you know why support

204
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: ending it.

205
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 4: It really is a freedom choice. I don't support it.

206
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: That's me as an individual. I don't want anyone coming

207
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: in my household telling you what I can and can't do.

208
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: Well.

209
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a little bit different when

210
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about human life.

211
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: I mean I would agree, I would.

212
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: I have to imagine you don't support the murder of

213
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: an adult, so I don't see how it would be

214
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: different for an innocent baby.

215
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: I know it sounds terrible when you say it.

216
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, but everyone does not necessarily agree

217
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: with me on that subject. And I represent sixty thousand people.

218
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: I can't force if forty thousand of my constituents feel

219
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 4: that they need to do this for specific reasons. As

220
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: they're representative, you know I have to support their choice.

221
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: It just like I support the right to bear arms,

222
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: I support the right to a quality education. I support

223
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: police safety or safe communities. That is just an area

224
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: where I definitely would not be in office if I

225
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: just came out and said I don't support it. And

226
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 4: it's not even because that is I'm elected. It really is.

227
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: I don't want anyone in my home telling me what

228
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: to do if someone is and I don't mind getting

229
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 4: into it. If someone is raped. I could see the

230
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 4: psychological trauma that can go into that. I don't know

231
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 4: what that looks like from raising a child from.

232
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: A circumstance like that. I just don't know.

233
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: For a child that is molested at twelve years old,

234
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 4: I don't know what that looks like as far as

235
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: can that person be a capable parent. It's a complicated issue.

236
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: I think that's just another topic that requires several questions

237
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 4: to dig through. My general answer to that, though, is

238
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: I don't want anyone in my home and I'm going

239
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 4: to have to respect that. Now say this, we have

240
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 4: got to really promote safe sex. I think there are

241
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: a lot HIV AIDS is at astronomical rates, especially in

242
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: minority communities. I think that because people have lost their

243
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: way so much, because Democrats are fighting for so many

244
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: things that are not family oriented conservative values, people have

245
00:14:54,560 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: lost their way and are having unprotected sex, and so

246
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: you're ending up with situations where life happens. You know,

247
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 4: when you have unprotected sex, you can get AIDS if

248
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 4: you have unprotected sex. I'm speaking from a former CDC

249
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: as a former CDC employee, So we need to make

250
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 4: sure that we are discussing safe ways to have sex.

251
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: If that's what you're going to do.

252
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: No, I would agree with that.

253
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: I just think if a human life is a human life,

254
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: it's a human life and you can't end it otherwise,

255
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, that would be murder.

256
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: And then if you look.

257
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: At raper incest or that's less than one percent of abortions.

258
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: The vast, vast majority, almost all of abortions are elective.

259
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: It's just someone not wanting to be a mother, so

260
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: they then kill a child. And I see your point

261
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: about your you know, the right to your to your

262
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: own home, but I would I would assume if someone

263
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: in your district molested a child in their home, they

264
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: don't have that right. So I don't think a person

265
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: has a right to end to human life. Deeply held

266
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: belief of mine. So I'm just going to have to

267
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: disagree with you on those points. What's your point of

268
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: view on Joe Biden.

269
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: I think that President Biden is losing support rapidly. I

270
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: think that there is not another candidate that could potentially

271
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: go against him as a Democrat that would be successful.

272
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: We will see. There's still time for other people to

273
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: jump in the race. The poll and I have seen

274
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 4: with with Kennedy, he has not surpassed Biden. And right

275
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: now Biden and Trump are neck and neck, and we'll see.

276
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: You know, the Republican Party has twelve candidates. Still, anything

277
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 4: can happen, you know, in politics, that is what everybody knows.

278
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: Anything can happen at any moment. So it'll be an

279
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: interesting ride. But I do think a lot of people

280
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: are definitely not happy with any Democrat at this point.

281
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: Do you see yourself voting for Joe Biden.

282
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: I am with the Republican Party. I will not be

283
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: voting for Joe Biden.

284
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: Do you see yours self voting for Donald Trump?

285
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 4: I see myself voting for the Republican nominee, whomever that

286
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 4: will be, whoever it is, I'm going to vote for

287
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 4: the Republican nominee. I'm not going to vote for a Democrat.

288
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: What's been the response in your district? Because I know

289
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: you represent the West side of Atlanta. It's ninety percent democratic.

290
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: What do you think this means for future in politics?

291
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 4: The response from my district has been overwhelmingly supportive. From

292
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 4: the moment the news came out. People were texting me,

293
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 4: calling me, emailing me saying they still support me. I've

294
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: stepped up in the community and provided for them. It

295
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: doesn't matter if there's an R or a D next

296
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: to my name. From people all across the state of Georgia,

297
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 4: there's been support, whether it's Republican or Democrat. I think

298
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: we are at a political shift where people, especially since

299
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: we're post COVID, people are more and tuned to what's

300
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: going on, and people are not happy with As you said,

301
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 4: this social political spectrum. People are really interested in the

302
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: money in their pockets so they can provide for their families.

303
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: Anything else you'd like to leave us with before we go.

304
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: I need help.

305
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 4: I am tackling an entire Democrat system, So I would

306
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: love for people to go to my website at Nishamaynor

307
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 4: dot com to support me and my initiatives to turn

308
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: permanently my house district in the middle of the heart

309
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 4: of Atlanta read and I can do it with help. Well.

310
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time to join the show.

311
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

312
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: Thank you.

313
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,280
