  Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the blue dot red one podcast
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: at a time. In the bid to turn the blue
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: dot red locally and maintain Republican House and Senate majorities nationally,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: let's avoid unnecessary self-inflicted wounds. Some on the right are
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: angry because Republican Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders ran an
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: ad in her re-election campaign saying, featuring a fictional young
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: white male welfare recipient named Brad, who was a lazy
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: video gamer. The ad promoted Sanders' welfare-to-work program to get
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Brad and other able-bodied shirkers off the basement couch and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: into the workforce as productive citizens. The beef from some
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: on the right is that the welfare leech should have
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: been minority and perhaps female to truly represent reality. The
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: population of welfare recipients in Arkansas is majority white. Aside
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: from that, there are able-bodied young white men who exploit
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the welfare system. Go ahead and body slam them. In
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: so doing, you can body slam the whole system, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: by extension, everyone exploiting it. I actually think it's good politics.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: As long as a white man is the target, You
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: can be brutally honest and portray it as shameful. So
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: don't waste time, energy, and political capital complaining about a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: young white guy being the poster boy for the Arkansas
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Welfare to Work program. Run with it and say bad
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: faith exploitation of the welfare system is reprehensible, no matter
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: who does it. That's Check with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell.

  Speaker 1: Thank you for listening.
