  I

  wanted
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55

  and

  it's

  interesting,
• 2:58
  I'm

  but
• 3:04
  outside
• 3:04
  in
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  metro
• 3:05
  area.
• 3:05
  And
• 3:06
  as
• 3:06
  we've
• 3:06
  talked
• 3:06
  about
• 3:06
  on
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  show,
• 3:07
  just
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  problems
• 3:08
  we've
• 3:08
  had
• 3:09
  with

  homelessness
• 3:11
  and
• 3:12
  drug
• 3:12
  addiction,
• 3:13
  mental
• 3:13
  illness,
• 3:13
  all
• 3:14
  those
• 3:14
  things
• 3:14
  out
• 3:14
  there
• 3:15
  we
• 3:15
  don't
• 3:15
  have
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  housing
• 3:17
  problem
• 3:17
  here.
• 3:17
  As

  I

  say
• 3:18
  it,
• 3:19
  we

  illness
• 3:21
  and
• 3:21
  drug
• 3:21
  addiction
• 3:22
  problem.
• 3:23
  And
• 3:23
  it's
• 3:24
  really
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  mental
• 3:25
  illness
• 3:25
  problem
• 3:25
  that
• 3:26
  you
• 3:26
  see
• 3:27
  people
• 3:28
  self
• 3:28
  medicating
• 3:29
  that
• 3:29
  turns
• 3:29
  into
• 3:30
  a
• 3:30
  drug
• 3:30
  addiction
• 3:30
  problem,
• 3:31
  thus
• 3:32
  relating
• 3:33
  into
• 3:33
  the
• 3:34
  homeless
• 3:34
  problem.
• 3:35
  Another
• 3:35
  great
• 3:36
  example
• 3:36
  happened
• 3:37
  yesterday
• 3:37
  and
• 3:38
  it
• 3:38
  feels
• 3:38
  so
• 3:38
  bad
• 3:38
  for
• 3:39
  these
• 3:39
  guys,
• 3:39
  Elephants
• 3:40
  Delicatessen

• 3:42
  Those

  just
• 3:43
  a
• 3:43
  really
• 3:43
  good
• 3:44
  deli.
• 3:45
  And
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  knew
• 3:45
  when
• 3:46
  I
• 3:46
  turned
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  news
• 3:46
  on
• 3:46
  yesterday,
• 3:47
  saw
• 3:47
  the
• 3:47
  building
• 3:47
  on
• 3:48
  fire.
• 3:48
  You
• 3:49
  could
• 3:49
  see
• 3:49
  on
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  side
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  building
• 3:50
  where
• 3:50
  down
• 3:51
  at
• 3:51
  the
• 3:52
  ground
• 3:52
  level
• 3:52
  there
• 3:53
  had
• 3:53
  been
• 3:53
  a
• 3:53
  fire,
• 3:53
  it
• 3:54
  had
• 3:54
  burned
• 3:54
  up
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  side
• 3:54
  of
• 3:54
  the
• 3:55
  building.
• 3:55
  And
• 3:55
  yes,
• 3:56
  it
• 3:56
  was
• 3:57
  one
• 3:57
  of
• 3:57
  our
• 3:57
  homeless
• 3:57
  slash
• 3:58
  mentally
• 3:58
  ill,
• 3:59
  slash
• 3:59
  drug
• 3:59
  addiction.
• 4:00
  It
• 4:00
  was
• 4:01
  cold.
• 4:01
  So
• 4:01
  they
• 4:02
  started
• 4:02
  a
• 4:02
  fire
• 4:03
  up
• 4:03
  against
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  side
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  building
• 4:05
  and
• 4:05
  burnt
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  building
• 4:06
  down.
• 4:07
  Now
• 4:07
  we
• 4:07
  keep
• 4:07
  seeing
• 4:08
  this
• 4:08
  over
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  over
• 4:10
  again.
• 4:11
  It
• 4:11
  is
• 4:11
  over
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  over
• 4:12
  again,
• 4:13
  buildings
• 4:13
  burned
• 4:14
  down.
• 4:14
  We're
• 4:14
  seeing
• 4:15
  this
• 4:15
  happen
• 4:15
  just
• 4:16
  time
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  time
• 4:16
  again.
• 4:17
  And
• 4:18
  it
• 4:18
  has
• 4:18
  gotten
• 4:19
  so
• 4:19
  bad
• 4:19
  in
• 4:20
  downtown
• 4:20
  Portland
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  you're
• 4:22
  seeing
• 4:23
  all
• 4:23
  of
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  commercial
• 4:24
  buildings
• 4:24
  down
• 4:24
  there
• 4:25
  get
• 4:25
  sold
• 4:25
  at
• 4:26
  a
• 4:26
  fire
• 4:26

• 4:27
  So
• 4:28
  when
• 4:28
  people
• 4:28
  go
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  sell
• 4:29
  their
• 4:29
  buildings,
• 4:29
  they're
• 4:29
  taking
• 4:31
  60,
• 4:32
  70%
• 4:33
  hits
• 4:34
  on
• 4:34
  these
• 4:35
  buildings.
• 4:36
  And
• 4:36
  it
• 4:36
  is
• 4:37
  absolutely
• 4:38
  crazy
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  see
• 4:39
  how
• 4:39
  fast
• 4:40
  investors
• 4:41
  have
• 4:41
  been
• 4:41
  getting
• 4:42
  out
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  downtown
• 4:43
  core
• 4:43
  in
• 4:43
  Portland.
• 4:44
  Not
• 4:44
  only
• 4:45
  are
• 4:45
  they
• 4:45
  not
• 4:45
  building,
• 4:46
  it's
• 4:47
  10
• 4:47
  times
• 4:47
  worse
• 4:48
  than
• 4:48
  that.
• 4:49
  The
• 4:49
  buildings
• 4:49
  that
• 4:50
  are
• 4:50
  beautiful,
• 4:51
  existing,
• 4:52
  that
• 4:52
  are
• 4:52
  a
• 4:52
  piece
• 4:53
  of
• 4:53
  Portland,
• 4:54
  are
• 4:54
  being
• 4:54
  sold
• 4:55
  for
• 4:55
  pennies
• 4:56
  on
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  dollar.
• 4:57
  And
• 4:58
  that
• 4:58
  is
• 4:58
  not
• 4:58
  good
• 4:59
  for
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  city
• 4:59
  of
• 4:59
  Portland.
• 5:00
  And
• 5:00
  we've
• 5:00
  got
• 5:01
  a
• 5:02
  lot
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  other
• 5:02
  issues
• 5:03
  here
• 5:03
  as
• 5:03
  well.
• 5:03
  Just
• 5:04
  like
• 5:04
  up
• 5:04
  in
• 5:04
  Washington
• 5:05
  state
• 5:05
  has
• 5:05
  their
• 5:05
  own
• 5:06
  issues.
• 5:07
  And
• 5:07
  this
• 5:07
  is
• 5:07
  going
• 5:08
  to
• 5:08
  affect
• 5:08
  homeowners
• 5:09
  out
• 5:09
  there
• 5:09
  because
• 5:10
  people
• 5:10
  that
• 5:11
  live
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  these
• 5:11
  areas
• 5:12
  are
• 5:12
  having
• 5:12
  to
• 5:13
  fight
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  same
• 5:13
  things.
• 5:14
  It's
• 5:15
  some
• 5:15
  homeless
• 5:15
  person
• 5:16
  trying
• 5:16
  to
• 5:16
  start
• 5:16
  a
• 5:16
  fire
• 5:17
  up
• 5:17
  against
• 5:17
  their
• 5:17
  garage
• 5:18
  that's
• 5:18
  on
• 5:19
  the
• 5:19
  side
• 5:19
  of
• 5:19
  their
• 5:19
  house.
• 5:20
  These
• 5:20
  are
• 5:21
  not
• 5:21
  just
• 5:21
  downtown
• 5:22
  core
• 5:22
  issues.
• 5:23
  Washington
• 5:24
  state
• 5:24
  this
• 5:24
  last
• 5:25
  week
• 5:25
  here
• 5:25
  passed
• 5:26
  an
• 5:26
  income
• 5:26
  tax.
• 5:27
  Now
• 5:28
  it's
• 5:29
  going
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  be
• 5:29
  interesting
• 5:29
  because
• 5:29
  that
• 5:30
  one's
• 5:30
  going
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  have
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  play
• 5:30
  out
• 5:30
  in
• 5:31
  court
• 5:31
  because
• 5:31
  they
• 5:31
  have
• 5:33
  no
• 5:33
  income
• 5:33
  tax
• 5:33
  in
• 5:34
  their
• 5:34
  state
• 5:34
  constitution,
• 5:35
  but
• 5:35
  they
• 5:35
  passed
• 5:36
  it
• 5:36
  anyway.
• 5:37
  And
• 5:37
  ironically,
• 5:38
  hours
• 5:39
  after
• 5:39
  they
• 5:39
  passed
• 5:40
  that,
• 5:40
  Howard
• 5:41
  Schultz,
• 5:41
  the
• 5:42
  owner,
• 5:42
  Starbucks,
• 5:44
  not
• 5:44
  my
• 5:44
  favorite
• 5:45
  guy,
• 5:45
  just
• 5:46
  because
• 5:46
  of
• 5:46
  what
• 5:46
  he
• 5:46
  did
• 5:46
  to
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  Sonics.
• 5:48
  What
• 5:48
  that
• 5:48
  guy
• 5:49
  did
• 5:49
  is
• 5:49
  he
• 5:49
  went
• 5:50
  cool,
• 5:50
  moving
• 5:50
  to
• 5:51
  Florida.
• 5:52
  So
• 5:52
  what
• 5:52
  happens
• 5:53
  is
• 5:53
  these
• 5:53
  guys
• 5:53
  turn
• 5:53
  around
• 5:54
  and
• 5:54
  say,
• 5:54
  hey,
• 5:54
  we're
• 5:54
  going
• 5:54
  to
• 5:54
  tax
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  people
• 5:55
  that
• 5:55
  make
• 5:55
  over
• 5:56
  a
• 5:56
  million
• 5:56
  dollars.
• 5:56
  And
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  people
• 5:57
  over
• 5:57
  a
• 5:57
  million
• 5:57
  dollars
• 5:58
  go
• 5:59
  sweet,
• 5:59
  moving
• 5:59
  out
• 5:59
  of
• 6:00
  state.
• 6:00
  But
• 6:01
  they've
• 6:01
  already
• 6:01
  spent
• 6:01
  that
• 6:01
  money.
• 6:02
  So
• 6:03
  we're
• 6:03
  seeing
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  cycle
• 6:04
  a
• 6:04
  Lot
• 6:04
  of
• 6:04
  you
• 6:05
  guys
• 6:05
  are
• 6:05
  going
• 6:05
  out
• 6:05
  there.
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  know
• 6:06
  we're
• 6:06
  across
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  country
• 6:07
  with
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  podcast
• 6:08
  and
• 6:09
  we
• 6:09
  don't
• 6:09
  get
• 6:09
  into
• 6:09
  politics
• 6:10
  here,
• 6:10
  but
• 6:10
  we're
• 6:11
  just
• 6:11
  talking
• 6:11
  about
• 6:11
  how
• 6:11
  this
• 6:11
  affects
• 6:12
  homeowners.
• 6:13
  You're
• 6:13
  seeing
• 6:14
  all
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  sudden
• 6:16
  these
• 6:16
  things
• 6:16
  happen
• 6:17
  where
• 6:17
  we've
• 6:18
  got
• 6:18
  these
• 6:18
  huge
• 6:19
  spending
• 6:19
  problems
• 6:20
  here
• 6:20
  and
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  homeowners
• 6:21
  are
• 6:21
  going
• 6:21
  to
• 6:22
  get
• 6:22
  expected
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  pick
• 6:23
  up
• 6:23
  the
• 6:24
  pieces.
• 6:25
  And
• 6:25
  we're
• 6:25
  seeing
• 6:26
  that
• 6:26
  over
• 6:26
  and
• 6:27
  over
• 6:27
  again,
• 6:27
  which
• 6:28
  means
• 6:29
  higher
• 6:29
  taxes,
• 6:30
  more
• 6:30
  fees.
• 6:31
  We're
• 6:32
  seeing
• 6:32
  this
• 6:32
  happen
• 6:33
  time
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  time
• 6:33
  again.
• 6:34
  It's
• 6:35
  just
• 6:35
  like
• 6:35
  our
• 6:35
  energy
• 6:36
  prices
• 6:36
  that
• 6:36
  are
• 6:36
  going
• 6:37
  up
• 6:37
  out
• 6:37
  there.
• 6:37
  When
• 6:38
  we
• 6:38
  take
• 6:38
  out
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  cheap
• 6:39
  energy
• 6:40
  and
• 6:41
  take
• 6:41
  down
• 6:41
  those
• 6:42
  ways
• 6:42
  of
• 6:42
  creating
• 6:43
  it
• 6:43
  and
• 6:43
  go
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  expensive
• 6:44
  energy
• 6:45
  and
• 6:45
  our
• 6:46
  bills
• 6:46
  for
• 6:46
  our
• 6:47
  energy
• 6:47
  bills
• 6:47
  double,
• 6:48
  guess
• 6:49
  what
• 6:49
  happens?
• 6:50
  Yep,
• 6:51
  this
• 6:51
  is
• 6:52
  what
• 6:52
  happens.
• 6:52
  Things
• 6:53
  get
• 6:53
  expensive.
• 6:54
  And
• 6:54
  we're
• 6:54
  seeing
• 6:55
  that
• 6:55
  across
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  country.
• 6:56
  So
• 6:56
  as
• 6:57
  homeowners,
• 6:57
  be
• 6:58
  aware
• 6:58
  out
• 6:58
  there
• 6:58
  of
• 6:59
  what's
• 6:59
  going
• 6:59
  on.
• 7:00
  Pay
• 7:00
  attention,
• 7:01
  pay
• 7:01
  attention
• 7:02
  to
• 7:02
  what
• 7:02
  you're
• 7:02
  voting
• 7:02
  for.
• 7:03
  You
• 7:03
  can
• 7:04
  use
• 7:04
  us
• 7:04
  out
• 7:05
  here
• 7:05
  on
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  west
• 7:05
  coast
• 7:06
  as
• 7:07
  an
• 7:07
  example
• 7:07
  of
• 7:08
  how
• 7:08
  these
• 7:08
  things
• 7:08
  don't
• 7:09
  work,
• 7:10
  because
• 7:10
  they
• 7:11
  just
• 7:11
  don't.
• 7:12
  So
• 7:12
  if
• 7:12
  someone
• 7:13
  is
• 7:13
  trying
• 7:13
  to
• 7:14
  legalize
• 7:15
  drugs
• 7:16
  in
• 7:16
  your
• 7:17
  state,
• 7:18
  give
• 7:18
  them
• 7:18
  a
• 7:18
  little
• 7:19
  bit
• 7:19
  of
• 7:19
  a
• 7:19
  square
• 7:19
  eye
• 7:19
  and
• 7:20
  go,
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  hasn't
• 7:21
  worked.
• 7:22
  If
• 7:22
  someone
• 7:22
  is
• 7:23
  going
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  be
• 7:23
  raising
• 7:24
  taxes
• 7:24
  again,
• 7:25
  it
• 7:25
  just
• 7:25
  makes
• 7:25
  some
• 7:25
  things
• 7:26
  more
• 7:26
  expensive.
• 7:27
  We
• 7:27
  generally
• 7:28
  out
• 7:28
  there
• 7:28
  have
• 7:29
  a
• 7:29
  spending
• 7:29
  problem,
• 7:30
  not
• 7:30
  a
• 7:30
  taxation
• 7:31
  problem,
• 7:32
  and
• 7:33
  that's
• 7:33
  where
• 7:33
  that's
• 7:34
  going
• 7:34
  to
• 7:34
  end
• 7:34
  up
• 7:35
  fighting
• 7:35
  us
• 7:36
  when
• 7:36
  it
• 7:36
  comes
• 7:36
  to
• 7:37
  affordability,
• 7:38
  those
• 7:38
  kind
• 7:39
  of
• 7:39
  things.
• 7:40
  So
• 7:40
  I
• 7:40
  didn't
• 7:40
  want
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  get
• 7:41
  too
• 7:41
  negative
• 7:41
  on
• 7:41
  this
• 7:41
  here
• 7:42
  today,
• 7:42
  but
• 7:43
  we're
• 7:43
  seeing
• 7:43
  these
• 7:43
  problems
• 7:44
  play
• 7:44
  out
• 7:44
  there.
• 7:45
  It's
• 7:45
  just
• 7:46
  city
• 7:46
  of
• 7:46
  Portland
• 7:46
  here,
• 7:47
  example,
• 7:47
  they're
• 7:48
  $20
• 7:48
  million
• 7:48
  in
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  hole
• 7:49
  in
• 7:49
  their
• 7:49
  public
• 7:49
  schools.
• 7:50
  They're
• 7:51
  going
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  have
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  close
• 7:51
  schools.
• 7:52
  It's
• 7:53
  just
• 7:53
  going
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  have
• 7:53
  to
• 7:54
  happen.
• 7:54
  And
• 7:54
  because
• 7:55
  parents
• 7:56
  have
• 7:56
  been
• 7:56
  moving
• 7:57
  out
• 7:57
  of
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  city,
• 7:58
  people
• 7:58
  are
• 7:59
  going,
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  don't
• 7:59
  want
• 7:59
  my
• 8:00
  kids
• 8:00
  in
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  hot
• 8:00
  mess
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  a
• 8:01
  school.
• 8:02
  So
• 8:02
  all
• 8:02
  of
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  sudden
• 8:03
  they've
• 8:03
  got
• 8:03
  10
• 8:04
  or
• 8:04
  10
• 8:04
  plus
• 8:05
  schools
• 8:06
  they're
• 8:06
  going
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  have
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  close
• 8:07
  because
• 8:08
  they
• 8:08
  don't
• 8:08
  have
• 8:08
  enough
• 8:08
  kids,
• 8:09
  they
• 8:09
  don't
• 8:09
  have
• 8:09
  enough
• 8:09
  funding.
• 8:11
  So
• 8:11
  pay
• 8:11
  attention
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  what's
• 8:12
  going
• 8:12
  out
• 8:13
  here.
• 8:13
  It's
• 8:13
  a
• 8:13
  great
• 8:13
  example
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  what
• 8:14
  works
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  what
• 8:15
  doesn't.
• 8:16
  And
• 8:17
  we're
• 8:17
  seeing
• 8:17
  this
• 8:17
  more
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  more.
• 8:19
  And
• 8:19
  I'll
• 8:19
  talk
• 8:20
  a
• 8:20
  little
• 8:20
  bit
• 8:20
  about
• 8:20
  it
• 8:20
  jokingly
• 8:21
  here
• 8:21
  in
• 8:21
  this
• 8:21
  weekend
• 8:22
  show,
• 8:22
  I'm
• 8:22
  sure,
• 8:23
  but
• 8:24
  great
• 8:24
  example,
• 8:25
  just
• 8:25
  overreaching
• 8:26
  laws.
• 8:27
  And
• 8:27
  I'm
• 8:27
  to
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  point
• 8:27
  here,
• 8:28
  like
• 8:28
  out
• 8:28
  in
• 8:29
  Cannon
• 8:29
  beach,
• 8:29
  where
• 8:29
  our
• 8:29
  Cannon
• 8:30
  beach
• 8:30
  house
• 8:30
  is,
• 8:31
  they
• 8:31
  just
• 8:32
  passed
• 8:32
  A
• 8:32
  law
• 8:32
  that
• 8:32
  says
• 8:33
  that
• 8:33
  I
• 8:33
  can't
• 8:34
  have
• 8:34
  a
• 8:34
  fire
• 8:34
  pit
• 8:34
  at
• 8:35
  my
• 8:35
  house.
• 8:36
  Why?
• 8:36
  Because
• 8:36
  we
• 8:37
  rent
• 8:37
  out
• 8:37
  from
• 8:37
  time
• 8:37
  to
• 8:38
  people,
• 8:38
  but
• 8:39
  my
• 8:39
  neighbor
• 8:39
  that
• 8:39
  doesn't
• 8:40
  rent
• 8:40
  out
• 8:40
  can
• 8:41
  have
• 8:41
  a
• 8:41
  fire
• 8:41
  pit.
• 8:42
  Have
• 8:42
  there
• 8:42
  been
• 8:43
  fire
• 8:43
  pit
• 8:43
  fires?
• 8:44
  No.
• 8:45
  Does
• 8:46
  the.
• 8:46
  Did
• 8:47
  they
• 8:47
  just
• 8:47
  pass
• 8:47
  an
• 8:48
  exemption
• 8:48
  for
• 8:49
  their
• 8:49
  own
• 8:49
  city
• 8:50
  owned
• 8:50
  camping
• 8:50
  area?
• 8:51
  Yep,
• 8:52
  they
• 8:52
  did.
• 8:53
  So
• 8:54
  you're
• 8:54
  seeing
• 8:54
  this
• 8:54
  stuff
• 8:55
  happen
• 8:55
  where
• 8:56
  we're
• 8:56
  seeing
• 8:56
  legislation
• 8:57
  and
• 8:58
  maybe
• 8:58
  it's
• 8:58
  because
• 8:59
  they're
• 9:00
  going
• 9:00
  after
• 9:00
  the
• 9:01
  short
• 9:01
  term
• 9:01
  rental
• 9:01
  people
• 9:02
  because
• 9:02
  maybe
• 9:03
  a
• 9:03
  lot
• 9:03
  of
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  city
• 9:03
  council
• 9:04
  is
• 9:05
  owns
• 9:05
  hotels
• 9:06
  in
• 9:06
  town.
• 9:06
  But
• 9:07
  we're
• 9:07
  seeing
• 9:07
  this
• 9:07
  more
• 9:07
  and
• 9:08
  more.
• 9:08
  And
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  think
• 9:09
  as
• 9:09
  homeowners,
• 9:10
  as
• 9:10
  community
• 9:10
  members,
• 9:11
  we
• 9:12
  need
• 9:12
  to
• 9:12
  make
• 9:12
  sure
• 9:12
  and
• 9:12
  hold
• 9:13
  our
• 9:13
  elected
• 9:14
  leaders
• 9:14
  accountable
• 9:16
  for
• 9:16
  doing
• 9:16
  what
• 9:16
  they
• 9:16
  say
• 9:17
  they're
• 9:17
  going
• 9:17
  to
• 9:17
  do
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  make
• 9:18
  sure
• 9:19
  that
• 9:19
  we
• 9:19
  keep
• 9:19
  these
• 9:19
  people
• 9:20
  reined
• 9:20
  in.
• 9:21
  When
• 9:21
  election
• 9:21
  day
• 9:22
  comes
• 9:22
  around.
• 9:23
  When
• 9:23
  I
• 9:24
  see
• 9:24
  politicians
• 9:25
  trying
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  enrich
• 9:26
  themselves
• 9:27
  by
• 9:27
  the
• 9:27
  laws
• 9:27
  they
• 9:28
  pass.
• 9:29
  And
• 9:29
  this
• 9:29
  isn't
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  left
• 9:30
  versus
• 9:30
  right,
• 9:31
  this
• 9:31
  is
• 9:32
  just
• 9:32
  a,
• 9:33
  hey,
• 9:33
  we
• 9:33
  need
• 9:33
  to
• 9:34
  watch
• 9:34
  both
• 9:35
  sides
• 9:35
  of
• 9:35
  this.
• 9:36
  When
• 9:36
  we
• 9:37
  see
• 9:37
  those
• 9:37
  things
• 9:37
  happening,
• 9:38
  we
• 9:38
  as
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  public
• 9:38
  should
• 9:39
  stand
• 9:39
  up
• 9:39
  and
• 9:39
  say,
• 9:40
  not
• 9:41
  on
• 9:41
  my
• 9:41
  watch,
• 9:42
  not
• 9:42
  in
• 9:42
  my
• 9:42
  town.
• 9:43
  So
• 9:44
  again,
• 9:44
  this
• 9:45
  isn't
• 9:45
  a
• 9:45
  left
• 9:45
  versus
• 9:46
  right
• 9:46
  argument.
• 9:47
  This
• 9:47
  is
• 9:47
  a
• 9:47
  people
• 9:48
  versus
• 9:48
  our
• 9:48
  government
• 9:49
  problem
• 9:49
  that
• 9:50
  we
• 9:50
  need
• 9:50
  to
• 9:50
  keep
• 9:50
  reined
• 9:51
  in.
• 9:51
  And
• 9:52
  I
• 9:52
  hope
• 9:53
  maybe
• 9:53
  I
• 9:53
  can
• 9:53
  inspire
• 9:54
  you
• 9:54
  to
• 9:54
  be
• 9:55
  maybe
• 9:55
  a
• 9:56
  little
• 9:56
  more
• 9:56
  active
• 9:57
  and
• 9:57
  pay
• 9:57
  attention
• 9:58
  to
• 9:58
  what's
• 9:58
  going
• 9:58
  on
• 9:59
  in
• 9:59
  your
• 9:59
  town,
• 10:00
  in
• 10:00
  your
• 10:00
  city,
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  stand
• 10:01
  up
• 10:02
  for
• 10:02
  what's
• 10:02
  right
• 10:02
  because
• 10:03
  we
• 10:03
  need
• 10:04
  a
• 10:04
  little
• 10:04
  bit
• 10:04
  more
• 10:04
  of
• 10:05
  that
• 10:05
  out
• 10:05
  there.
• 10:06
  All
• 10:06
  right,
• 10:06
  enough
• 10:06
  of
• 10:07
  my
• 10:07
