6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: can be done about it? Today? I dig into the

Speaker 1: me this week. Rather than me interviewing her as I

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: do with most of my guests, We're gonna tag team

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: this episode, having a really honest and in depth conversation

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe even a debate on issues we both

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: really care about. Now, for those of you who don't

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: know Kim, she's a rock star in the Republican Party

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: in the Conservative movement in Camera and for Congress in

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Maryland seven District, which includes much of Baltimore, winning the

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Republican nomination. During the campaign, Kim gained national fame for

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: her creative and hard hitting ads calling out Baltimore's Democrat

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: leaders for filling the city's residents for decades. Earlier this year,

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: following the campaign, Kim founded Red Renaissance, a new and

26
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: influential political action committee dedicated to supporting the next generation

27
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: of conservative leaders. Kim and I will discuss her pack

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: and plans for the future, but first we dig in

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: to the rise in violent crime devastating American cities, the

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: terrible state of education in these cities, and all things COVID.

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Trust me, you don't want to miss this one. Stay

32
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: in your seats. And with that, I want to bring

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,720

36
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: In a full circle moment, I remember many many years

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: ago how we met. You reached out to me on

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: Twitter and you wanted to talk about media, and I

39
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: was like, wow, Okay, first and foremost, this young lady

40
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: is very beautiful, Like who is this? Why haven't I

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: heard of her just yet? And we madden hit a

42
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: very friendly conversation, and um, from there has been just

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: a tremendous friendship of growth. You've grown in media and

44
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: so have I don't think at that point I was

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: on Fox News. But the little advice I was able

46
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: to offer you in contact, you took and you blew

47
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: it up and did something that I've never seen anyone

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: else do. So it's an honor to be working with

49
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you and co hosting this show with you. I don't

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: thank you so much for having me back. I was

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: just thinking about the fact I think that was two

52
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen, and that we met up and you

53
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: were giving me advice at a coffee shop, and if

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: you remember all those details, yeah, I do Starbucks on

55
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: Capitol I remember that day. Yeah, yeah. And then from

56
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: there I went and did the show with with Roland Martin,

57
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I believe Roll one American News Network, and then it

58
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: was Roland Martin. But you you just stayed consistent in

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: your approach. You continue to push. We talked regularly throughout

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: and then you became a big superstar. And I don't

61
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: know if you recall, during that Starbucks visit on Capitol Hill,

62
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: I said, and I recalled, I said, you can be

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: very big. You got it. You just gotta push through, Uh,

64
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: star writing, do TV media, But I think you could

65
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: be a big star. Remember me saying that to you?

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: I do, I do, And I didn't believe you. I

67
00:03:50,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: was like talking point talking point indeed, but you are

68
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: a big star. So it worked out. So I'm happy

69
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: to be here with you. So as we talk about

70
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: what's really devastating the violent crime in America cities, it's

71
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: it seemingly always an issue, but it's especially more of

72
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: an issue now in the in the wake of George Floyd,

73
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: and you see how the Democratic Party has been running

74
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: the country from the White House to these Chicago you

75
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: talk about Baltimore, going to Detroit, any of these urban centers,

76
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: for the residents there, it's hell on earth for many

77
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: of those folks. And you really made a name for yourself,

78
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: uh when it comes to Baltimore by shooting film of

79
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: the waste in the city where people were actually living,

80
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: seeing the environment. And President Trump took it upon himself

81
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: to repeat a number of your videos and it really

82
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: put you on a rocket. No. Absolutely, and I'm so

83
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: blessed that. I feel so fortunate for that happening. This

84
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: is why I tell people on of time, like, if

85
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: you have something going on in your community and you

86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: know it's not right, and you know, government can get

87
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: involved because you're paying taxes and it's their job. Anyways,

88
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: what I did was basically take my cell phone and

89
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: made a couple of videos showing just all of the

90
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: trash in all the crumbling infrastructure, and I kept posting

91
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: it and I did it for about a week. Um,

92
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: and then that's when I got a call from a

93
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: producer at Fox News and they're like, um, can you

94
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: tell us where you are? And I was like, I'm

95
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, and she thought I was in another country.

96
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: She had no idea. Yes, that's what's so crazy about it.

97
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: And she said, well, you gotta come on and explain.

98
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: And so I went on Fox and Friends that morning,

99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: and it just so happened. President Trump was watching at

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: that moment, and when he retweeted the videos, he was like, look,

101
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: I know for a fact, we have sent millions of

102
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: dollars to Baltimore. Recently, you know, because right after the

103
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: the riots that we had in two thousand fifteen, after

104
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: the death of Freddy Gray, President Barack Obama and President

105
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: Trump sent a ton of money to Baltimore and into

106
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: that area where I took the video ols that I

107
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: was just showing people. Look, they haven't done anything on

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: the ground here, and it's been years, and so I

109
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: just felt very fortunate that the story got picked up

110
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: and people got to see what was going on. And

111
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: you've not stopped since then. You ran for Congress, but

112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: you're still in the community, You're still in Baltimore, you're

113
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: still talking to the residents. In fact, we have some

114
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: exclusive audio that we want to play from one of

115
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: the residents that you you're you're providing for for our

116
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 1: show today. Yeah. Well, man, I'm scared to go out myself.

117
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know, we got Baltimore is on

118
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: um track club having three murder in a in a

119
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: in a year for a seven year row climb is up.

120
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: I can't go to the can't go to the gas station,

121
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: gas station people being robbed at the gas station down

122
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: when they pulled their cars up to the punt. I mean,

123
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do here. Baltimore commons, it's

124
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: just out of control. Baltimo was one of the Uh,

125
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: this is one of the more worst cities for climb

126
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: in America. We're just supposed to do now, Kim, this,

127
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: this is your community. What do you think when you

128
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: hear this? It's the exact truth. And so when we

129
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: see people coming out and talking about defunding the police,

130
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: I want people to know in Baltimore City, especially West Baltimore,

131
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: absolutely no one there wants to defund the police. They

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: actually want more of a police presence. And as that

133
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: gentleman was saying that the whole car jacking is through

134
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: the roof right now, armed carjackings, a lot of juveniles

135
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: are doing it. A lot of juveniles are getting away

136
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: with it because they know right now our state's attorney

137
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: isn't really prosecuting juveniles. So we call it a walk

138
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: through here. You know, a police officer might arrest the

139
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: juvenile for an armed carjacking, but he's able to go

140
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: to central booking and walk right out because unfortunately, right

141
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: now they're not really prosecuting juveniles. UM. So it's a

142
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: very scary situation for those that live here. UM. And

143
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: we have a lot of senior citizens. They're the ones

144
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: that actually own their homes in these neighborhoods, and they're

145
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: afraid to go outside. Man. That's that's that's really devastating.

146
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: And and and honestly, you know, you have experienced some

147
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: of these things yourself. It's not as you're just getting audio.

148
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: You've been in these neighborhoods. You've lived in one of

149
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: these neighborhoods before where they were shooting on the block.

150
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: You live knowing, right, correct? Even I guess it was

151
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: maybe two weeks ago. We were at an event one

152
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: of my managers here at Renaissance. They were hosting a

153
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: town hall. We wanted to actually get people together in

154
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: a room at a church, Simmons Morel Baptist Church, and

155
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: just asked them what were their immediate needs right, what

156
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: can we do right this second to cure some of

157
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: the problems. And so we're all sitting there, we talk,

158
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: we're there for about an hour, we go outside, and

159
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: of course, further down the street we hear gunshots. It's

160
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: literally NonStop, right, and and so a lot of times

161
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: we talk about the homicide, but we don't talk about

162
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: the shootings. We don't talk about the attempted murders. We

163
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: don't talk about them. Shootings basically heard and even though

164
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: they don't hit anyone, but those are attempts on someone's life,

165
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: and so we don't talk about that. But that's ongoing

166
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: in these neighborhoods. That's that's terrible. So anything gonna happen

167
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: with the state's attorney there. So our states Attorney Maryland Mosby,

168
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: she's a self proclaimed progressive, so she's not actually prosecuting

169
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: what she calls low level crimes right now. Um, so

170
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: she's not prosecuting those dealing drugs, prostitution. Uh, there's like

171
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: a list of things, and she calls it victimless crimes.

172
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: But we know those crimes lead to bigger crimes. Yeah,

173
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's unbelievable at what she does.

174
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: But we have violent repeat offenders on our streets as well.

175
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: And you take a look at what's going on in Baltimore.

176
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: We have shooters that have been caught with handguns scene,

177
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: leaving the scene of a crime, and they still just

178
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: to get to walk free. And it's unbelievable to me.

179
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting to me is we talked a

180
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: lot about criminal justice reform. And when the First Step

181
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: Act came up, we had a lot of conservatives. It

182
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: was a vocal minority, I should say a vocal minority

183
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: of conservatives who were saying, listen, we can't do any

184
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: criminal justice reform because then you're gonna allow those criminal

185
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: back onto the street, lighter sentences. Crime will will get worse,

186
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: it will become worse. When we heard that, a lot

187
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: of us we pushed back on that. But we are

188
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: seeing crime become worse. But can anyone articulate that that's

189
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: because of the criminal justice reform? I e. People may

190
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: think that the laws have been weakened. Therefore the criminals

191
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: have become really bullish on committing to crimes in in

192
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: the area. Do you do you think that might have

193
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: anything to do with it? No? No, And I think

194
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: we're both we both know Doron Smith right, that was

195
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: right right, and he was the one that authored a

196
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: lot of that. For me, the proof is in the pudding, right.

197
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: Most of these crimes and most of the riseing crime

198
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: is happening in cities where you have progressive mayors and

199
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: progressive prosecutors. So it was really criminal justice reform because

200
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: that was something that happened on a federal level. We

201
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: would see it in all areas, right, but we only

202
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: see it in these particular areas that progressives are in charge.

203
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: So I think it's fact that they're soft on criminals altogether.

204
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: I still believe that people should have second chances, especially

205
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: if it is what we call those victimus crimes. We

206
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of people that come out of prison

207
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: that want to do the right thing, and I believe

208
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: that they should have the chance to do so well.

209
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: I think with that Criminal Justice Reform, the biggest piece

210
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: of it was the First Step Act allowing individuals as

211
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: they're coming out of prison a chance to get caught

212
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: up on what we got in the tech boom and

213
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: you know, getting some skills understanding how to put their

214
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: resumes together. And so we're not releasing criminals not able

215
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: to then go and get a job, because the last

216
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: thing we wanted for them to end up back in prison.

217
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: So I thought Criminal Justice Reform First Step Act. I

218
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: thought they were both great, at which President Trump got

219
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: more credit for him than he did. He was he

220
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: was the reason he was because the folks that the

221
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: very again vocal minority on the right, because Democrats played

222
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: a game with it too, So Democrats were all for it.

223
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: When Republicans got on board, they were against it. Is

224
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: that all we can't do it. They didn't want Republicans

225
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: to get any credit. And then we had a vocal

226
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: minority on the right, people like Senator Tom Cotton, people

227
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: like the Senator Ted Cruz, who were saying, yeah, we

228
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: don't think we should be getting involved in that. In

229
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Senator Mike Lee, a former federal prosecutor. Uh, he was

230
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: a very big advocate for it, and he laid out

231
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: some brilliant points to counter all the nonsense from Senator

232
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. So that that was that was great. However,

233
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: President Trump was the reason. If it wasn't for him

234
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: pushing it, Mitch McConnell and others as hard as he did,

235
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: it would not have happened. So he does deserve a

236
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: lot of credit. And I still stand by my statement

237
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: which I've made in the past. President Trump has been

238
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: the most productive advocate for policy that impacts black folks

239
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: most We've never seen the president like that on so

240
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: many issues and one term, especially being your term, no

241
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: Democrat or Republicans, So he does deserve that credit, which

242
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: we know Democrats will not give him, not at all.

243
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: And we saw it on the heels of our first

244
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: black president, President Barack Obama, and I think that's also

245
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: what woke a lot of people up in the black community.

246
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: It was like, wow, you know, we had a black

247
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: president and and these are the things that he should

248
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: have been pushing, but it took President Trump to come

249
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: along to get it done. So yes, I thank President

250
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Trump for doing that, but I really am just so

251
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: disheartened by the progressives that really feel the need to

252
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: basically turn everything around and be soft on criminals when

253
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: they're praying on the individuals living in these dangerous neighborhoods. Indeed,

254
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: so we talked about Baltimore, but you know, I gotta

255
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: ask you as far as Chicago, Um, I know that

256
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: your homicides are up fifty and shootings are up sixty

257
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: three compared to what you had going on in two

258
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. Its routine for several dozen people to be

259
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: shot over any given weekend, and we watched that play out.

260
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: And I know, I see on Twitter all the time

261
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: just that the amount of numbers coming out of Chicago

262
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: as far as shootings, I just gotta ask, what are

263
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: people in Chicago saying about the spike in violets. You

264
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: know what, can I gotta tell you, Chicago is my home,

265
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: has been my home forever in a day. I will

266
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: always rep Chicago as hard as I can. I grew

267
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: up on the South Side of Chicago, se hard, seventy

268
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: second in Dorchester, A hundred and nineteenth in Michigan, all

269
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: over the South Side of Chicago. Love the city to

270
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: this day, but I am horrified. I am horrified by

271
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: what I see there on a day to day basis,

272
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: and I'm actually piste the hell off. I'm pissed the

273
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: hell off for a number of reasons in general, but

274
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm piste the hell off, but specifically around something that

275
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: just happened recently in my family's life. Last weekend, I

276
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: was in Italy. I got a call from my little

277
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: sister on a Saturday, Apparently that Friday night, she was

278
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: walking with her infant child from the grocery store, infant

279
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: child and two people approached her, no interactions with him beforehand,

280
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: and they approached her, a man and a woman, both adults,

281
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: and they beat the hell out of her, pushed it

282
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: to the ground, kicked her in her face, kicked in

283
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: her stomach, her body, while her child was there, her

284
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: infant child, he's only like what three or four months old,

285
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: And then they pulled a gun out on her and

286
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: they said, we will kill you and your child. She

287
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: thankfully lived, but so many people in that same situation,

288
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: only by God's grace, but so many people in that

289
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: same situation would have been killed, no question about it,

290
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: and and and never probably would have received justice for it.

291
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: That Chicago Sometimes just came out with an analysis showing

292
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: that since ten since twenty sixteen, over a thousand shooting

293
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: victims a hundred and six that died, there were only

294
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: two convictions, two out of over a thousand. I think

295
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: that number was a thousand thirty three I think was

296
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: the actual number for the analysis. But since this is

297
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: the justice, that they're getting, no justice at all, and meanwhile,

298
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: it I think hardens the criminal. If I'm not gonna

299
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: get convicted for it, if I'm not gonna face any

300
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: any real charges for why wouldn't I Why wouldn't I

301
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: walk down the street with an a K forty seven?

302
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I go and attack somebody just randomly, which

303
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: is something that used to actually do when I was.

304
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: I was growing up. At times you'll see kids that

305
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: would jump on you at the bus, but you weren't

306
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: losing your life per se. They may beat the beat

307
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: you up, or they may try to rob you or something.

308
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: But this is a whole different beast, and it's a

309
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: satanic one it at that. So yeah, I'm really upset

310
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: by how the direction of my city. I think the

311
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: County prosecutor she is a big part of the problem.

312
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: She's a big part of the problem. That's why so

313
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: much bloo hut in the streets of Chicago because she's

314
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: letting the criminals off. Twenty five thousand felony cases dropped,

315
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: including murders under her leadership. This is not an American

316
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: city anymore, as a third world country with some good

317
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: people living in it. And it's it's just really insane,

318
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: and it's shameful where we are at it's time in

319
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: our country. And it's even more shameful that people like

320
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: the Biden administration who said that they were gonna be

321
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: advocates for for those who feel like they've been left

322
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: out of the American dream, they're not advocates for the

323
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: people in Baltimore. They're not advocates for the people in Chicago.

324
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Biden is an advocate for any of those people.

325
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: He may be an advocate for those who are coming

326
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: in over our southern boarder, the migrants that are coming

327
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: over here bringing thousands of cases of COVID, he may

328
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: be an advocate for them. In fact, he's probably their president,

329
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: because that seems to be the only folks that he

330
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: cares about. When you have American citizens who are suffering

331
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: on a day to day basis in places like Chicago

332
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: and Baltimore, it's ridiculous. It's upsetting, and I cannot stand

333
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: this ish anymore. I'm very disappointed. I am so sorry

334
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: that your cousin, I mean your family and my little sister,

335
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: my my blood little sister. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

336
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I'm glad that she's okay. I guess

337
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: the prosecutor there is, is that Kim Fox? Yeah, that's

338
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: Kim Fox's county. Yes. So what are Chicago's liberal political

339
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: leaders and people like Kim Fox, the prosecutors, what are

340
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: they doing to reverse this trend? I mean, we've they've

341
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: been trying to reverse the trend. And look, let me

342
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: not saying that they've not necessarily been trying to reverse

343
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: the trend. They've been saying they're trying to reverse the trend. However,

344
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, if you're gonna drop twenty five thousand

345
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: felony cases, including murder, then that tells me uh and

346
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: her predecessor closed way more cases and had more convictions

347
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: than than Kim Fox. That tells me you're not a

348
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: part of the selution, You're part of the problem. So

349
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: how we reverse the trend? New leadership? Get rid of

350
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: the county prosecutor, bringing somebody who's gonna be tough on crime.

351
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: That can be a Republican or even a Democrat. You

352
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: can have sensible policies that that can be supportive of

353
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: those who want to have second chances, that were willing

354
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: to put in the work, but punish the criminals and

355
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: especially those repeat offenders. You can. You can do all

356
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: of that as a county prosecutor. Ours just isn't And

357
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: the mayor is another person the blame game that she's doing. Oh,

358
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: violence is so bad in Chicago because of racism and

359
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: sexism and people, you know, it's just ridiculous, Like, I

360
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: don't know if these people are ready to start working

361
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: at MSNBC or what these talking points are really for.

362
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: But it makes no sense, it's not based in fact.

363
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of Chicagoans, a lot of

364
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: Chicagoans are upset with the leadership of these folks and

365
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: I can only hope, I can only hope that they're

366
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna do the right thing when it comes to election time. Yeah,

367
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope so too. In Baltimore, just to

368
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: give every to feel for this, in Baltimore City, of

369
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: the homicides are ever solved in Baltimore County, the neighboring

370
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: county where we have a moderate Democratic attorney, of those

371
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: homicides get solved, and so you have to look at

372
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: it and say, it is definitely leader. Them get solved

373
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: in Baltimore County, only gets solved in Baltimore City. And

374
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: that's like I said, they're neighboring county. So it's crazy

375
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: and it's definitely comes on to leadership. What do you

376
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: think is causing the surgeon crime in Chicago? Do you

377
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: think that's part of the defund the police movement? You know,

378
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: it's interesting when it comes to the defund the police movement,

379
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: I think if we're just purely looking at the numbers.

380
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: Just overall in the country, sixty three of the sixty

381
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: six largest police jurisdiction saw increases in crime, and at

382
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: least one category. If you saw the Fox News polling,

383
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: it showed eventy seven percent I believe it was, but

384
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: it was in the seventies seventy percentile. Believe that there

385
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: is much more crime than that was last year and

386
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: probably has been in many, many years decades. I mean,

387
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: the last time we saw a crime like this, I think,

388
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: really and truly was during the crack epidemic. I think

389
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: in the eighties the nineties, especially in Chicago inner cities.

390
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: We saw how badly those cities were beaten up by

391
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: the drug dealers and the gangs that were controlling the

392
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: market of drugs. We saw how how those things impacted

393
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: cities like Los Angeles. We saw it in New York,

394
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: we saw it in Baltimore, we saw it in Chicago.

395
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: But things did change and get better at a point.

396
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: But now it seems as though we're back on that trend,

397
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: which is completely unfortunate. But Democrats have themselves to blame. Honestly,

398
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: George Floyd Dyan was not a mission slip to say

399
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna defund the police, or we're gonna create an

400
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: environment where criminals can kind of do their thing and

401
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: and decriminalized crime, if you will, that's the term, right,

402
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: criminalized crime. That's where we are now. Democrats across the

403
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: country have decriminalized crime. Therefore, you see places like San

404
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: Francisco where they go into Walgreens with garbage bags steal

405
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: everything off the chef while people watch, because they have

406
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: laws in place which says you can't you can't even call.

407
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's you can't call the police,

408
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: but you definitely can't get involved while they're still in

409
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: you gotta let them go. It's this insanity on every

410
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: level and not worthy to be in any American city.

411
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: So when I think about polaces like Chicago to defund

412
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: policeman movement, it's the mentality that even elevates criminals, the

413
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: fact that they know that the police um either won't

414
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: come or if they call, they're called, they won't be

415
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: They won't even engage the criminal. In some cases, there's

416
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: a law on the books in Chicago, a recent one

417
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: which was a part of their police reform, where they

418
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: can't even they can't even chase criminals now, and criminals

419
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: can make anonymous complaints about police officers and they can

420
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: lose everything with no evidence at all, no facts. They

421
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: can make anonymous complaints to you know, police brutality, et cetera,

422
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: and they'll lose their jobs with no uh, with with

423
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: no evidence. And that's where we are in this country.

424
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: And it's a terrible time. So it really is, and

425
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: that's what we have going on here also in Baltimore.

426
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely that we need to get to a commercial break,

427
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: But I hope you all enjoying the conversation. I'm certainly

428
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: glad to have Kim co host this with me, and

429
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm really glad that we're able to really talk about

430
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: these issues and not that she has this this pack

431
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: red renaissance. Kim is endorsing and putting candidates in place

432
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: who will fund the police, who will be supportive of

433
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: criminal justice reform and second chances, but also understand that

434
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: those who are repeat offenders, you're losing your second chances

435
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: the more you do this, so you're gonna have to

436
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: be tough and face the full penalty of whatever you did.

437
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: So I appreciate the conversation. We need the policy here

438
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: for a quick break, but when we come back, Kim

439
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: and I will dig into the problems with education in Baltimore,

440
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: in Chicago, back in the moment. So it's no secret

441
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: that inner cities have notoriously bad education systems with failing

442
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: public schools. You can look no further than Baltimore to

443
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: see just how devastating an impact these schools have on

444
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: the community. So what I did is I went and

445
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: I got some exclusive audio to talk to someone in

446
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: Baltimore City basically dealing with the poor education system tasical. Listen,

447
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: I feel like there's no hope for our kids. I mean,

448
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: I have a family, I have nephews that's in high

449
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: school right now, and a Baltimore public high school students

450
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: earn a below one point g p A. How is that?

451
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: How is that helping our kids? How can our kids

452
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: go forward? And there's no hope, there's no hope for

453
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: our kids, and we need to do something. That is

454
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: just so depressing to hear from a resident of Baltimore.

455
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think when you hear such hopelessness?

456
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's I think it's been a reality

457
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: for people in the black community for decades. I think

458
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why there's been so many

459
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: people who champion charter schools. There's a charter school in Chicago.

460
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: It's called Urban Prep, and it Urban Prep. This is

461
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: mostly black, but they have like Latino students too, and

462
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: that I know they had some white students that came

463
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: in at a particular time. But I went to the

464
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: school to check it out for myself. Because their biggest

465
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: thing or play is and what they're celebrated for is

466
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: they get a hundred graduation. They have a hundred percent

467
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: graduation rate. So those who come into the school, they

468
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: stick with them. They do tutor sessions, they give individual learning,

469
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: and they ensure that these students graduate. Now, these aren't

470
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: folks that they're just passing along. Because you hear that,

471
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, so they must be just saying, okay,

472
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: participation trophy, you get to go to you get to

473
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: graduated high school and get your diploma. Now they're really

474
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: really working with the students to ensure their individual success.

475
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: And I think charter schools are supreme model for good

476
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: education and individual learning. Was because some of these charter

477
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: schools end up being trade schools and we've got some

478
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: brilliant young people across the country, of course, but there's

479
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: so much I think smarts in the hood, if you will.

480
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of kids who may not

481
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: be proficient, but they're very smart people and could be so.

482
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: In Chicago, UH, Chicago public schools of elementary schools tested

483
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: at or above the proficiency level for reading and tested

484
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: or above that level from math. Also, middle school students

485
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: tested at or above the proficiency level for reading and

486
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: tested at or above that level for math. Eighteen percent

487
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: for high school students test to add above that proficient

488
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: level for reading, test to edder above that proficient level

489
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: from math. Those are horrible numbers. I mean, I if

490
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: I was married Chicago, I would be embarrassed that I

491
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: got all these students in in my in my city

492
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: who aren't even testing well at the proficiency level. This

493
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: is an embarrassment in every way. This is exactly why

494
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: the h we gotta break the backs of these teachers

495
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: unions who are secured UH from being fired in many cases,

496
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: and they're awful teachers. We got some great teachers out

497
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: there to go out there way. They spend their own money,

498
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: they go by their own supplies, they do. They tutor

499
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: kids after school with no additional pay. We got some

500
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: who really care about young minds, but we also got

501
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: a lot who don't care, and they just want to

502
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: get a check. And this is beyond unfortunate that has

503
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 1: been allowed to continue. But we know why it's been

504
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: allowed to continue. Eat your unions give to democratic politicians.

505
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: Democratic politicians mostly run major urban centers, and those folks

506
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: allow for these failures to continue, thereby creating another generation

507
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: of individuals who will never live up to their fullest potential.

508
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: And that's what's really upsetting for me. Yeah, and it's upsetting.

509
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: And we have similar numbers here in Baltimore. A lot

510
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: of people don't know this, but in Baltimore City, nine

511
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: out of ten Black boys and not read at grade level.

512
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: Nine out of ten. Yeah, Sean Handy talks about it

513
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot, but people don't really mention it. But not

514
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: out of ten black boys can't read at grade level.

515
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: That's an insane number. I know. That's I don't like

516
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: to I would think that that would be almost impossible.

517
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: Nine out of ten, you would think so, But you

518
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: know what's so crazy too, And I don't know how

519
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: it is in Chicago. But here in Baltimore City. You know,

520
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: most school boards, you elect your school board members. Right

521
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, the mayor actually appoints the school board members.

522
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: And so of course it's our our Democrat mayor who

523
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: appoints basically their friends that continue on with the same

524
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: agenda that they want to push and help them get

525
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: the vendor contractors for their other friends. And so it's

526
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: this vicious cycle, and it's it's almost like the parents

527
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: have no way of controlling what's going on. And so

528
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, when I ran for office, I ran on

529
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: school choice, and it was interesting because there were a

530
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: lot of parents that were for it, um, but you know,

531
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they felt like it was possible. And

532
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: I could see how you could feel that way, uh,

533
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: just seeing how bad the school system has been, you know,

534
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: their entire lives. Um. But what's your personal experience with

535
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 1: the school system in Chicago. I mean I grew up

536
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: there and went to elementary school, high school there. Uh,

537
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, just like I said, when I

538
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: was growing up, there was some I thought there were

539
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: some teachers that they cared, but you see a lot

540
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: that just simply there for a paycheck. I remember when

541
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: I was I had to be in what third grade? Yeah,

542
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: I think I was in third grade. I was a

543
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: good low elementary school. Was that third grade or fourth?

544
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: Maybe it was fourth, I don't know, maybe it was

545
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth whatever, But I never forget this day.

546
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 1: I was in a classroom in this particular teacher. He

547
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: didn't he he was telling me that, you know, kind

548
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: of settle down, stop talking, or whatever the case is.

549
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: And I was never the kind of kid that would

550
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: talk back to the teachers because I grew up in

551
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: the house where we were told you have to respect adults,

552
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: no matter who they are, so you know, and then

553
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: you have the respect for your teachers. Anyway, they teach

554
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: you every day and you get sent to the principal

555
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: office some kind of punishments, dispension. So I didn't want

556
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: any of that. And I think I may have been

557
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: suspended in school maybe one time in my life, maybe,

558
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: I think. But this teacher who was so offended for

559
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: whatever reason, decided to take come to me, pick me

560
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: up by my shirt. I'm a little kid, and throw

561
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: me on the desk, and I'm like, you know, I'm

562
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: a kid. I can and I'm not gonna try to

563
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: fight a teacher. This guy was in his he was

564
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: in his twenties and I was a kid. But you teend,

565
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: you tend to see those kind of things happen. And

566
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: he literally he had graduated college not that long ago

567
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: before he had started teaching, maybe like a year or

568
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: two before. And I'm like, dude, why are you even

569
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: here as a teacher like you commend violence against students

570
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: and a young a very young one at that isn't

571
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: it would be different if you're in high school and

572
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: you're a senior and one of the kids trying to

573
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: get tough with you or something like that. I can

574
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: understand it going there, but not for somebody who's like

575
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: ten years old. So those kind of things do happen,

576
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: and it is super unfortunate. But that's where we've been

577
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: for many, many years. So when you talk about the

578
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: folks in Balti More who don't believe the school choice

579
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: can happen, it's because the politicians there have have chosen

580
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: that route. So there are a lot more hopeless in

581
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: places like Baltimore in Chicago that they're going to get

582
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: a good quality education because they know the teachers unions

583
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: have everything on lock. And the bad teachers no matter

584
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: just about whatever they do, they stay in their jobs

585
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: because the union is protecting them. And that that's discouraging

586
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: for parents, I think, all across the country to know

587
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: that and to know what is being taught in these

588
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: schools these days. No, I totally agree. I can't believe

589
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: he was doing that to you at elementary level. That's

590
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: why that was well. And I wish I remember his name.

591
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: I got a lawsuit coming. I don't remember. He probably

592
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: is no longer a teacher there. He may have lasted

593
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. Maybe I don't know, or yeah,

594
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: yeah I just got fired. I don't know, and maybe,

595
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: but I doubt he got fired, so he's Uh. It's

596
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: terrible times. But this happens a lot across the urban

597
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: centers and sometimes kids do take it there. But as

598
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: an adult, you should know a kid as a kid.

599
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: So leave it alone and let the let the police

600
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: deal with it is what they should be doing. Yeah, No,

601
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: for real, And I just wanted to read a quote

602
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: real quick. The late Walter Williams of George Mason University

603
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: once wrote the following in two thousands sixteen in thirteen

604
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: of Baltimore thirty nine high schools that a single student

605
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: scored proficient on the state's and mathematics exam. Citywide, only

606
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of Baltimore students past the state's English test.

607
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: And here's the critical part. Money is not the problem

608
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: of the nation's one largest school system. Baltimore ranks third,

609
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: and spending per pupil, that's third, so we're right behind.

610
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: I think it goes New York City, Boston, Baltimore, and um,

611
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's just wild to me that we get

612
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: so much money. But how can the education se be

613
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: feeling so much if it received so much funding, Like,

614
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: how does that even make any sense? Yeah, I think

615
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: I think you clearly laid it out for us, Kim

616
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: when you talked about especially you being kind of inner

617
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: circle in terms of being a political understanding the Baltimore politics.

618
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Republicans don't understand Baltimore's politics.

619
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,479
Speaker 1: And as part of the reason why when you ran,

620
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: people trying to write you off as like a gimmick

621
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, she did a couple of videos that

622
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: Trump posted. Now she's gonna try to run for Baltimore

623
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna vote for you. But then you created

624
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: a movement right now, but I think you you you

625
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: set it up for us perfectly in terms of how

626
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: the corruption takes place. Follow the money. Follow the money

627
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: every time. Uh, these folks get into office and then

628
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: they give their friends these kickbacks, these deals, and as

629
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: you said, they do it for the vendor privileges, give

630
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: million dollar contracts, and a lot of times these are

631
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: their their donors. So yeah, where's the money. Where's the

632
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: money going in the pockets of the vendors and the

633
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: donors and the donors who donate to get these folks

634
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: in office and they get these contracts. Meanwhile, Uh, the

635
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: unions are still winning big time. Meanwhile, the mayor can

636
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: say that they care, but you don't see the substance

637
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: of them caring to change things around. In places like

638
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: Chicago and Baltimore, it's more empty promises and no action

639
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: there there lifting their duties and they fell in their residence. Yeah, no, absolutely.

640
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: I mean we get close to sixteen thousand dollars per

641
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: student in Baltimore City. That's why we're the third highest

642
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: per people spending. And we still have schools where they

643
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: don't have heat air conditioning, and they're still dealing with

644
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: lead pipes. Uh. So there's a lot of schools, especially

645
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: on the West Side, where kids can't even drink out

646
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: of the water fountains. Um. So yeah, I mean we're

647
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: getting a ton of money, but who knows where just going.

648
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it wasn't it some years ago,

649
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: if I recall correctly, some years ago, there was a

650
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: study or it was like a maybe like a local

651
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: TV reporter, local news station went into a school and

652
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: it was it was like in a winner and they

653
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: didn't have he'd what was that situation? And has that

654
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: been rectified? Yeah? So that was our our last mayor

655
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: she was in office, Mayor Katherine Pugh, who's you know,

656
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: later was indicted for pay to play. Um. But in

657
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: other words, to your point, to your point, literally demonstrate

658
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: what you just said. Okay, got it right. And so

659
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: it was wild because one of the teachers in one

660
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: of the schools posted this picture that went viral of

661
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: all the students sitting there with their winter coats on,

662
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: and then she took like a picture of the thermostat

663
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: showing that it was sixteen degrees in the classroom. And

664
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: so because that went viral, and you know, social media

665
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: is good, you know, in a lot of ways. Because

666
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: that went viral. Then everybody started questioning what was going on,

667
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: and um, she said, oh it must be the school

668
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: board is is not making the right decision. So instead

669
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: of actually changing out members of the school board, she

670
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: actually added four more seats to the school board so

671
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: she could appoint four more friends. Yeah, well, I think

672
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: Rama Manue will say the best. Never let what do

673
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: you how do you say, never let chaos go to waste?

674
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: What man Never let a good a good crisis go

675
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: to waste good crisis? Clearly she said, man I see

676
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: more opportunity to make money, and so yeah, and and

677
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: and and the results where she went to jail afterwards. Yeah,

678
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: she went to jail for a little bit and then

679
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: they released her thanks to the pandemic. Oh wow, yeah,

680
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: we got out. Speaking of COVID, let's shift the latest

681
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: with the pandemic. Right after a quick break, Welcome back

682
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: to Outline with Giano called but I'm so excited to

683
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: have my dear friend co host the show with me.

684
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: The only repeat guest ever out of almost fifty episodes,

685
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: Kimberly Clasic is in the house and certainly glad to

686
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: have her give her vast knowledge on the issues that

687
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: people care about that are impacting families across the country,

688
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: and really putting the Democratic Party's failure on display. A

689
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: lot of folks, uh didn't realize how badly some of

690
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: these cities were running and performing, and you exposed it

691
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: all in a campaign that so I'm so so happy

692
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: to be here with you. And before we went to break,

693
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: before you tossed us to break, we were talking about uh.

694
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: You mentioned the mayor and who was released, the former

695
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 1: mayor of Baltimore who went to jail for pay to play,

696
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: and she was released early for COVID. So you know,

697
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting that we're now talking about COVID in

698
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. I know, there was a lot

699
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: of folks who felt like, man, most of the country

700
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: is now vaccinated, we can finally give it to the

701
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: mass and go back to our lives as we used

702
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: to live them. I was happy about it. I was excited.

703
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of the people were. And we

704
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: were told by Joe Biden and Dr Anthony Fauci, once

705
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: you get vaccinated, you can get rid of the mask,

706
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: go back to your life, encourage your family to get

707
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: vaccinated or I remember when they said, well, if you

708
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: hit COVID before then you're gonna have this natural immunity

709
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: to you won't be able to get it again. Or

710
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: you you it's just like that's what It's just like

711
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: being vaccinated. And then everything turned. It's like the messaging

712
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: at the c d C, the White House, local government

713
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: officials is all over the place, and we saw what

714
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: benefits they received. And I hate to say it like this,

715
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: but it's true. We saw what benefits that they received

716
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: in the last election by virtue of locking down the

717
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: entire country, ensuring there was mass mail in voting. Uh,

718
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: they did a number of things. And now we're at

719
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: a place where soon enough we're gonna be going into

720
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: another election in the fear of COVID and the new

721
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: delta variant as being dialed up tremendously. So no one

722
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: really knows what may happen again, or if the country

723
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: is gonna shut down again and go back into a

724
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: depression after all of what we experienced. What are your

725
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, Kimberly, So for me, it's very personal,

726
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, Like you know, I ran for Congress in

727
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: Maryland seventh and um, you know here in Maryland we

728
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: allow unsolicited mail in ballots, and this is something that

729
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: Governor Ron De Santis is trying to tackle in Florida

730
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: right now, we have supposedly a Republican governor and Governor Hogan,

731
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: but he's not doing anything about it. When you have

732
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: unsolicited mail in ballots come in, it's not like absentee ballots.

733
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: It's you know, these ballots come anywhere. Um, it could

734
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: be a former resident of a home and that new

735
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: resident could just fill it out and send it back

736
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: in the way they want to. And then also, unfortunately Maryland,

737
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: ballot harvesting is legal, so we had a lot of

738
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: people on my opponent's side that would go to nursing

739
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: homes and other areas and literally just collect ballots for people.

740
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: And so when you have unsolicited mail in ballots, if

741
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: if they wanted to help somebody that didn't receive a

742
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: ballot with another ballot, they could just basically request one

743
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: or even just pick up another one to fill it

744
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: out for them. So on election night, we thought it

745
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: was gonna be a pretty good night, but the very

746
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: next day we had a lot of mail in ballots

747
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: counted and we actually ended up with more mail in

748
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: ballots than we did voters in our Yeah, so so

749
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: it allows people to basically get into fraudulent activity. But

750
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: that's something that we should have been tackling in the meantime.

751
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: And so, now, like you said, we see COVID coming back,

752
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: they just continue to move the goal post. Right, And

753
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: we first heard about it, it was, oh, we gotta

754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: flatten the curve. Right, it was flatten the curve for

755
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: two weeks that it was this and was that, Like

756
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: you said, the vaccine. Now they're telling us, oh, the

757
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: vaccine doesn't really work. Still got to wear a mask. Oh,

758
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: now you know, unvaccinated people, they must go and get

759
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: a vaccine. Like you know, they continue to move the

760
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: goal post because I do think now they are looking

761
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: at two they're looking at the fact that they didn't

762
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: do anything to secure the border. Like we talked about,

763
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: crime and violence is out of control when Democrat areas.

764
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: So it's not looking very good for them. And even

765
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: when it came to the COVID relief bill, there's a

766
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: lot of money that is still caught up in that

767
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: and didn't really make it to those in need. And

768
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: so if you look at it, the administration the Body

769
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: administration didn't accomplish a whole lot. So I guess to them,

770
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: why not take advantage of another election with COVID. Yeah,

771
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: I think I think that's I think that's a really

772
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: important point. And I also want to point out that

773
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: the unemployment rates in califern Fownia, in New York, which

774
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: it was at eight point five percent, in California eight

775
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: point nine percent, and uh New York remained significantly higher

776
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: in February than the national six point to average. Unemployment

777
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: in New York City was still at twelve point nine percent.

778
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, the the real issue, I think for a

779
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: lot of folks is now what do they do. We

780
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: were supposed to be, not necessarily in a post COVID world.

781
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: We're supposed to be in a place where we have

782
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: the solution to the problem, which was the vaccine. Now

783
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: we have a different variant. They're talking about passports, uh

784
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: COVID passports, which I think it's really ridiculous. Like we

785
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: went from you can't and I know people have made

786
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: this point, but yeah, you know, we we can't us

787
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: get be identified to have somebody with an I D

788
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: to go and vote. But yeah, we're gonna get your

789
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: health record passport like it's kind of ridiculous and it's

790
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: stupid in that way. I don't think that it should

791
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: be anyone's business if person is vaccinated or not, unless

792
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: they want to tell them that if you are a

793
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: person that's overweight, if your person is obese, if your

794
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: person would pre existing conditions, then perhaps you should be

795
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: one that wears a mask. Definitely get vaccinated, because those

796
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: are a big bulk of the people who died from

797
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: COVID last year and this year. Those who were have

798
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: the preexisting conditions or overweight or obese, and with where

799
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: we are now, it appears to be a lot of

800
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: government overreach and dealing with what the issue truly is.

801
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: It's you shouldn't require citizens to make a medical decision

802
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: for themselves and unless also keep in mind some people

803
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: have reportedly died after they receive their shots, and I'm

804
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: not trying to make people hesitant from getting the shot.

805
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not trying to be the boogeyman on

806
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: that issue, but there are people who are concerned about

807
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: their health because this pick. These shots have emergency authorization,

808
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: but they've not been FDA approved, So some people want

809
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: to ensure that the FDA has fully approved it. Not

810
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: only that for those who already have had COVID, they're

811
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: following the science. And I saw a friend of mine

812
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: just yesterday he said, listen, I don't I don't need

813
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: to go get vaccinated. I had COVID. I'm gonna follow

814
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: the science. Which the Democratic Party used to be the

815
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: Party of science. I'm guessing that was just a facade

816
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,959
Speaker 1: at this point because they're not following the advice that

817
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: was then put out and a number of times from

818
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: a number of doctors, just like when Trump said, hey, um,

819
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: if you get the hydra coded Quinn, this is called it.

820
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: It's a Z pack. Again, I can't think of how

821
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 1: to pronounce him anyway, when he said, hey, you take

822
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: this and and and and the survival rate is better,

823
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 1: and all the reporters, the media and even a number

824
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: of doctors came out against that, and he turned out

825
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: to be right. The survival rate I think increased or

826
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: something like that after people would have that that particular medicine.

827
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: And just imagine how many people would have been saved.

828
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: Head the media not ridiculed President Trump for saying something

829
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: that ended up being true. We could have saved a

830
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: lot of lots, So people are really following the science anymore,

831
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: and it's more political in a lot of cases than

832
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: it is science based. And that's what's really troubling now.

833
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: A live decisions are being dictated based on the politics

834
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: of a governor or a mayor, and that's insane, No,

835
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: it is, and it's so crazy about it. I'm one

836
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: of those people where I'm listening to my doctor, so

837
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: I see an asthma and allergy specialist once a month

838
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: just because I always have dealt with asthma really bad,

839
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: and apparently with the vaccine, they have been seeing respiratory issues.

840
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: So I was told to wait and to kind of

841
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: see what happens with other people dealing with the same

842
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: issues that I have. So I personally have not been

843
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: vaccinated UM. I also had COVID right when it we

844
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: really started talking about it. That was in what was it,

845
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: March when I had UM and so yeah, we were

846
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: told that we wouldn't have the antibodies. I don't know

847
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: if they said forever obviously, but no, I know the

848
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: risk as somebody that's not vaccinated, and I personally choose

849
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: to take the risk instead of choosing to take the vaccine,

850
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: not knowing if it's going to trigger a n asthma

851
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: attack and have a bad effect. So I'm gonna listen

852
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: to my doctor before I listened to Joe Biden to

853
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: like a smart decision. Listening to Joe Biden these days

854
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 1: it's not worth while. And half the time he doesn't

855
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: even know he's president, so we it's tough to try

856
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: to listen to Joe Biden no much of anything, and

857
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: it's it seems as the other media has been protecting

858
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: him on all his his uh his his misspeaking to

859
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: put it mildly, because some of his laws is not

860
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: a miss misspoke situation. Uh. And I'm I'm sure with

861
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: all the new information coming in about about the delta variant,

862
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 1: are you more concerned than you were about COVID previously

863
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: because they said this is a stronger variation of the

864
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: original strain of COVID. Are you concerned? I mean, I

865
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: definitely think about it. You know, I travel with my

866
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: pack every week, and so I meet a lot of

867
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: new people all the time. But that's right, because you

868
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: do events multiple times a week. Yeah, so I but

869
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: I also get tested often too, so because you have

870
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: to travel correct, and you know, the last thing I

871
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: want is to like give any kind of variant to

872
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: somebody else, so exactly, and you know, I have a

873
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: five year old daughter as well, so we got to

874
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: just keep you know, track of it. But you know,

875
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: that's how I choose to live my life. And I'm

876
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: fine with that. And hopefully if I get it proved

877
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: to go and get the vaccine, I will. But for

878
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: right now, think about it with Joe Biden in his

879
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: town hall, what was that two weeks ago he was

880
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: telling people on stage, Look, if you get vaccinated, you

881
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: can live life normally. And literally within days, he completely

882
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: changed his chune about it. Yeah, and that's we don't

883
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: need that kind of leadership, especially when there's a public

884
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: health emergency. And let's also keep in mind Joe Biden

885
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: ran on the platform that Donald Trump mishandled COVID, and

886
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna being honest, there was some I don't think

887
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: he he took it seriously in the way, but when

888
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: he came at the hospital, I just thought he did

889
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: too much. Like that should have been his point where

890
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 1: he's like, you know what, there is a serious disease. Folks,

891
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: wear your masks etcetera, etcetera. And I gave the Democrats

892
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: and the media more uh more soundbites for them to

893
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: play over and over and say that he didn't take

894
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: it seriously. So I thought when he came out at

895
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: President Trump came at the hospital, when he did the

896
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: one on the balcony of the White House with all

897
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: the music and the sound, that was like, bro, you're

898
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: doing don my old question doing the most. Yeah, you see,

899
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: he could not breathe up there right for air. I

900
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: was really nervous because of course I think asthma immediately. Um.

901
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I think he probably could have done

902
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more to say, look, you know what,

903
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: I got vaccinated and and it is serious and something

904
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: that we should all just stop politicizing. But yeah, I

905
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: look at it as President Trump, no matter what he

906
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: says or does, he's going to get bashed. So yeah,

907
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: that's that's been the case. But he's also given some

908
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: reasons to bash him too. I think that would be

909
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: one of them. And as much as I would support

910
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: the policies in which he passed on the number of occasions,

911
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm still willing to call him out wherever necessary, because

912
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: that was just not that was awful. That was awful.

913
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: But but that's here nor there. What do you make

914
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: of people with like New York Mirror Bill de Blasio

915
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: essentially saying unvaccinated people won't have access to the same

916
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: races and freedoms is vaccinated people? What what do you

917
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 1: make of that? Um? I feel like that's the new form.

918
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: It's like modern day segregation, right, I mean, it's that's wild.

919
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 1: I saw the mayor in Boston, black woman Democrat, she said,

920
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: how is this any different than asking slaves for their papers? Right?

921
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's to me, it's it's segregation. It's like, okay,

922
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: here the unvaccinated, here the vaccinated. They already seem to

923
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: want to shame the unvaccinated. I think it's a personal choice,

924
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,959
Speaker 1: and I don't think we should be taking it down

925
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: this road. But Mayor built a Blasio. I mean, I've

926
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: never shocked at the things that he says and does. Yeah,

927
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's gotten to the point where we just

928
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: already know he's he lost his way a long time ago.

929
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he ever really had it. But you know,

930
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, there's some Democrats out there where

931
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is a good part. I've had

932
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: Democrats on the show where I'm like, Okay, these are

933
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: good people. These are really cool people, elected officials and everything.

934
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: They're like good hearts. They want to do the right thing.

935
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: We may disagree on politics or particular policy, but they're good,

936
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: good people, and you know, they're well intentioned. And I

937
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: don't know how well intentioned build the Blasio is I

938
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily see see that. You don't force people

939
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: to make medical decisions. I just I'm just really against that.

940
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: In Democrats are supposed to be the party of choice,

941
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 1: and they're giving us no choice. You know. I respect

942
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: the person's desire, which is not to get vaccinated, just

943
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: like I respect somebody who says I want to be vaccinated.

944
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: I've not been vaccinated. I've had COVID before, So I'm okay,

945
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with not being vaccinated. I'm not comfortable with

946
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: being shamed for not being vaccinated. And leaders like you

947
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: said they gotta stop throw the politics away, just give

948
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: us the science and let us go on from there.

949
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's a serious health issue, got it? Uh

950
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: Wuhan lab likely came from the Uhan lab, the one

951
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: in which the the CCP certainly UH probably unlikely head

952
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: of hand in just based on the reporting that we've

953
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: seen have has come out, and certainly it was. If

954
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: this is the case, if the reporting gets correct and accurate,

955
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: that the this came from the Juan lap UH, then

956
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: China certainly was looking to decimate the U. S economy

957
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: and whoever else, And as a result of COVID and

958
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: the lockdowns, their economy will overtake or at least is

959
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: UH scheduled or predicted to overtake the U. S economy

960
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: UH in this decade. So with these different variants, I

961
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: wonder you know where could this have come from? But

962
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: democratic politicians are helping to stop the progress of our

963
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: country economically, given China UH front row seat, or rather

964
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat if you will, to win over

965
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: us economically, which brings me to another statement here. When

966
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: the data is clear, the red states that opened up

967
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: from the lockdowns quicker did better economically, as Political reported

968
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: in late June, of the fifteen states that have returned

969
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: to pre pandemic levels of economic activity to wherever I

970
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: led by Republican governors of the ten states reporting the

971
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: lowest level of economics activities since January seven. I run

972
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: by democratic governors. Economics, folks, it's it's you have to

973
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 1: be able to take care of your family. We cannot

974
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: live on the government. I know there's a lot of

975
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: folks who received a bunch of unemployment. They may have

976
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: gotten some p PP money. And somebody that I know

977
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: I saw in l A recently said, man, that was

978
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: the most money that I ever made on that unemployment.

979
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: I wish they'll bring it back. No, folks, we gotta

980
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: get back to self reliance, and we have politicians who

981
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: are creating economic situation that is destructive to families. What

982
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: do you think about what's going on with them shutting

983
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: down or have shut down and possibly about to shut

984
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: down local governments or rather cities and states. Again, what

985
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: are you what's your your take on, Nick Camp? I mean,

986
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: it's a scary thought. Everything the government has ever touched

987
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: or run. I believe it's just been a disaster. That

988
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 1: can point too many times in history where that's happened.

989
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: I think the biggest one is in nineve where it

990
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: really affected the black community, and in my opinion, is

991
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: when basically the government asked the black woman to marry

992
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: the government rather than the father of a child. Right,

993
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: we saw basically the welfare state come into play and

994
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: that has devastated our communities since then. And then you

995
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: compound that with crime bill. It's just everything the government

996
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: touches to me just ends up being more of an issue.

997
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 1: And then they try to say, oh, we need more

998
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: money to fix this issue, and that's what they run on.

999
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: It's the same old cycle and it never benefits. I

1000
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: don't think we the people. I mean right here in Maryland,

1001
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: we have a lot of people that are still on

1002
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: unemployment because, like your friends said, they're making more money

1003
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: sitting home, and so we have some busy This is

1004
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: especially the rest Maybe I misspoke. Someone I know we

1005
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: have is out of acquaintance people be like them your

1006
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: Ganna Frians. No, we have some restaurants here in Maryland

1007
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: where they are having a hard time getting people to

1008
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: come back to work because they are making more money

1009
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: on unemployment. Luckily, Governor Hogan is saying by September one, uh,

1010
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: they're no longer going to be given, you know, so

1011
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 1: much in unemployment to make people come back to work.

1012
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: He ended the eviction moratorium daying, look, landlords need to

1013
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: pay their mortgage and so you got to pay your rent.

1014
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: And that's how it should have been from the get go.

1015
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: It should have never gotten to this point. Of course,

1016
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 1: I think I think like a Republican in that sense. Um,

1017
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,919
Speaker 1: But you know, for me, it's just a no win.

1018
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: And we look at states like Florida with Governor Rod

1019
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: de Santis, and they were able to continue moving those

1020
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 1: people down there seem to be doing just fine with

1021
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: and things are, you know, as fine as economically. We

1022
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: look at the delta variant now and people are saying, oh,

1023
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: it's it's more in Florida, Texas, and I believe Louisiana.

1024
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: But I have to say with that, we know it

1025
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: came in from out of this country. I think they

1026
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: pinpointed to India. But we have our southern border wide

1027
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: open right now. When I look at that, I'm like, well,

1028
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: is this really serious. If it's really serious, why do

1029
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: we have our southern border wide open? If it's really serious,

1030
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: why didn't we do anything in the meantime to prepare

1031
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: us for possibly the variant and another pandemic. I ran

1032
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: on basically bringing the billion dollar medical equipment industry back

1033
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: to the States, particularly through the Baltimore City port, but

1034
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: we did not do anything to beef up our equipment

1035
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: industry as far as medicine here during this entire time

1036
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: that we're trying to rebuild from the pandemic. And then

1037
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: you see President Joe Biden put out a tweet saying, oh,

1038
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: We've got the most jobs back on the market this

1039
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: past month, and it's like, basically he just he's taken

1040
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,439
Speaker 1: it for jobs that are being replenished that we're taking

1041
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: away in the beginning right there, right, they're not new jobs,

1042
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: they're not new careers. So it's it's a disaster to me.

1043
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: But maybe that's just my take. No, I think that's

1044
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: the take up a lot of other people. Very cogent point. Now,

1045
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: I want to shift now from the issues of the

1046
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: day to what you're up to, Kim, and what you

1047
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: got planning for the future. But first let's take a

1048
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: quick break. Welcome back to Ally with Giano Caldwell. I

1049
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: got Kimberly Clasic co hosting the show with me, first

1050
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: time ever doing this. It's been quite fun, certainly auspicious commentary.

1051
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: This is one of the shows that I think I'll

1052
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: forever remember because I enjoy doing co hosting. I really do.

1053
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm actually co hosting on a Fox News channel here

1054
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: next week, but I really appreciate having just the various

1055
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: viewpoints and being able to kind of toss things back

1056
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: and forth with somebody. So thank you for doing it, Kim.

1057
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: But I want to before I let you go, ask

1058
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: the question that everyone wants to know from you, which

1059
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: is will you be running for Congress again? Well, first

1060
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: of all, thank you so much for having me today.

1061
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: This has actually been a lot of fun being able

1062
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: to just talk candidly. But yeah, we plan on running again.

1063
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: We left a million dollars in the treasury to to

1064
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: do so. We were so fortunate to have support from

1065
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: all across this country, from amazing people, and then to

1066
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: have the support from the Trump family. We raised over

1067
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: eight point four million dollars in our race, so we're

1068
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: allowed to We're able to keep some money in the

1069
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: bank to to continue. It's gonna take time. Baltimore City,

1070
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: like Chicago, it's it's tough when you've been under Democrat

1071
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: one party rule for fifty some years. It's gonna take

1072
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: time for people to change their minds and say, wow,

1073
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I should vote differently. But for us

1074
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,439
Speaker 1: in Baltimore City in that part of the district, usually

1075
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: a Republican gets votes. We were able to get we're

1076
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: teen thousand votes, and we did that in a in

1077
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: a pretty short amount of time because our our viral

1078
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: ad didn't go viral until mid August and so we

1079
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: had until November three to really just take it home.

1080
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: So I think you know now that we still have time,

1081
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: we're still in the community. You have a team out

1082
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: there right now registering voters. There are actually seventy four

1083
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: thousand people in Baltimore City that are not registered to

1084
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: vote at all, and so that's a big chunk, and

1085
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: it's a big number where I know there's a lot

1086
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: of people saying, look, things aren't going the way we

1087
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: saw things were gonna be going at this point in time. One,

1088
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: we're all, you know, we're going backwards in a way.

1089
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: And so the more we stay out there and stay

1090
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: relevant and making sure people know they were there for

1091
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: the community. We took a bunch of kids from West

1092
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore and sent them down to West Virginia to summer

1093
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: camp this year, and that was a lot of fun

1094
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: and you know, just give them something else to do

1095
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: and great exposure for them. Hopefully they'll go back each year.

1096
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: I've been donating and helping out at many churches in

1097
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: the area and is doing the things that anybody would

1098
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: do that's able to lend a helping hands. So we're

1099
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: definitely gonna run again. We're looking to run in twenty two,

1100
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: but if it ends up being four where we make

1101
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: the biggest ground game, then we'll just take our time

1102
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: and do what needs to be done so that we

1103
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: can win. But at the end of the day, I'm

1104
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: never giving up on Baltimore. You know, I hear all

1105
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: the rumors, Oh, Kim's gonna go to Florida. She probably

1106
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: is gonna go run in a in a district where

1107
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: it's easier to run, and It's like, no, that's not

1108
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: why I'm here, That's not why I got into this.

1109
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: This is about changing Baltimore. There are people that have hope, dreams,

1110
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: aspirations to do more, and I want to make sure

1111
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: that they have the opportunity to get to the American

1112
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: dream just like everyone else. And so we're gonna continue

1113
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: to run. I'll probably wait a little bit to announce,

1114
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: probably towards February next year, because I am working on

1115
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: my pack and you know the FBC rules, you can't

1116
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: do a pack and be an announced Kimia at the

1117
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: same time, so we'll we'll take our time on that. Well,

1118
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: thank you for giving us that exclusive of Kimberly Classic

1119
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: is running again. And you know one thing that I appreciate,

1120
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: I think you have it. I mean obviously the star power,

1121
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: but I think you actually care and that I think

1122
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,919
Speaker 1: that resonates with people more. You actually care. And I've

1123
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: known you for years and I know that you care

1124
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: because we've been talking about this stuff for years before

1125
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: you even really hit the scene in the in the media.

1126
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: So thank you so much for all that you do.

1127
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: And the GOP should really be taking note because instead

1128
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: of trying to go to an area to win a

1129
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: race one time, especially when you're talking about urban centers,

1130
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: you gotta be in the community. You gotta stay there.

1131
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: You don't just win the race from one election. Most times,

1132
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: when you're trying to win urban seat, you gotta let

1133
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: the people get to know you. They gotta have conversations

1134
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: with you, feel comfortable with you, and whatever political boogeyman

1135
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats will use. People look at it as bs

1136
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, I know her. She's a

1137
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: good person. I don't believe that I want to give

1138
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: up my support. I met her, I believe in her,

1139
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: so continue doing that. And I hope you're still pushing

1140
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: the party to get involved in a lot of these races,

1141
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: but certainly you're you're using your pack to create the

1142
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: wave versus chasing it with the r n C. So, Kimberly,
