  Speaker 3: all of this on this Ted's d Morning post redistricting,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: as the national news media packs up all its gear
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: to leave the old dominion behind and head on to
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: more interesting stories like Florida's fight over redistricting, because it's
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: all about get Trump, and this is how they're going
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: to try to get Trump. And that's how they managed
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: to come up with the turnout out, spending seventy million
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: dollars to ostensibly keep one point three million Virginians at
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: home there. But other things afoot today. So we're here

  Speaker 1: Been, Making mornings great again. First thing today on the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Here in Richmond, Virginia on our Ted's d Morning. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I appreciate everyone who's come out and visited with us.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: We were at an event last night over the election,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: and so many folks commenting in on a text message line.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I want to get to all of your text messages
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: in a little bit. And I know that there's a
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: lot of people who wake up in these mornings and
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: doctor Clark gave them voice earlier and said that he
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: was very downhearted over it. And it's a shame because truly,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I don't believe that we need to be downhearted per
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: se in terms of the world that we live in.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I think we can, if we look at it in
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the right way, find positives. And there's still plenty of things.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I know the drive by media is not going to
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: be talking about all this stuff because they're busy packing
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: up and getting ready to head to Florida where the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: next redistricting race is. Joining us to talk a little
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: bit about this is a Delegate Andrew Rice of the
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Commonwealth of Virginia. Delegate Rice, thank you first and off
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: for coming by and visiting with us last night, visiting
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: with us this morning.
• 14:42
  Speaker 22: Absolutely, Joe, it's my pleasure.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Will you say that now? I haven't asked my first
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: questions yet.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: No, that's true.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: So one of the questions that came up is where
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: does the Republican Party go?
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: You're a young fella, you're new into the party system,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: at least you know publicly. You may have worked behind
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the scenes before you've got elected to the House of Delegates,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: but this is your first term. Correct, That is correct.
• 15:08
  Speaker 22: Yes, I was elected Saint Patti's Day in March, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 22: I'm replacing Barry Knight, who is a longtime family friend,
• 15:18
  Speaker 22: personal friend of mine, and we're going to continue his
• 15:21
  Speaker 22: good work and we're going to do some of our own.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: But coming in as a newer person. I want your
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: thoughts on this because a lot of folks have said,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: what does the Republican Party to have to do? We
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: went back to twenty twenty when the redistricting was taken
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: out of the hands of the politicians, and there are
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: one point three million fewer votes cast than there were
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: in that election. How do we get those people back?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Where have they gone? Are they just folks who only
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: vote in presidential years? So as a new set of
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: eyes into the Republican Party, what has to happen?
• 16:01
  Speaker 22: So thanks show for that question. Those one point three
• 16:04
  Speaker 22: million people, I think we're just sitting at home. This
• 16:07
  Speaker 22: was a special election in April. Virginia is not used
• 16:10
  Speaker 22: to that. We're used to special elections in other months,
• 16:13
  Speaker 22: but April's not really our month. And this was a
• 16:17
  Speaker 22: quick turnaround from the constitutional amendment that was passed in
• 16:21
  Speaker 22: session to the vote yesterday. This was a very quick turnaround.
• 16:27
  Speaker 22: And as far as the Republican Party goes, you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 22: I'm not a doomsday guy, I'm not a I'm not
• 16:33
  Speaker 22: absolutely I'm not a doomsday guy. And so I actually
• 16:38
  Speaker 22: am encouraged by the vote. Although it's not the result
• 16:42
  Speaker 22: that perhaps we wanted. I do think that the amount
• 16:46
  Speaker 22: of grassroots efforts that came out, and the amount of
• 16:49
  Speaker 22: messaging that the Republicans did in Virginia is something that
• 16:56
  Speaker 22: we can build on.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: If you look at the results, less.
• 17:00
  Speaker 22: Than one hundred thousand votes, and when you're talking about
• 17:05
  Speaker 22: the amount of money that was spent in this race
• 17:07
  Speaker 22: thirty three million dollars versus three million dollars, we clearly
• 17:12
  Speaker 22: have a good message. Now, the question that you asked
• 17:16
  Speaker 22: that I've been avoiding is how do we get that
• 17:18
  Speaker 22: message out?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Well, it's usually, see you're new at this, Usually it's
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: that's a great question, Joe, And let me tell you
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: why it's a great question, and that gives you a
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: time to vamp to it there.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: So, but yeah, go ahead, what do you think? Yeah?
• 17:30
  Speaker 22: So, the message of the Republican Party, when I was campaigning,
• 17:35
  Speaker 22: I was told that it was tired, that it was
• 17:37
  Speaker 22: that it was the same old messaging, that people wanted
• 17:41
  Speaker 22: new ideas. And I really took that to heart, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 22: I don't think that's true. What I think people want
• 17:47
  Speaker 22: us to do is just articulate why our ideas.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Maybe they are.
• 17:54
  Speaker 22: The same ideas that we've always had, but why they
• 17:57
  Speaker 22: are beneficial for the citizen of the Commonwealth. Lower taxes,
• 18:03
  Speaker 22: tough on crime, keeping the government out of your life,
• 18:07
  Speaker 22: and that resonates with people. And what I think these
• 18:12
  Speaker 22: election results show is that when we have a concerted effort,
• 18:16
  Speaker 22: when every single member of the Republican Caucus, and when
• 18:19
  Speaker 22: every single conservative leader in Virginia is coming out and
• 18:23
  Speaker 22: saying this is wrong, people take note. And so consistent
• 18:28
  Speaker 22: messaging and being able to articulate why this jerrymangering map
• 18:32
  Speaker 22: with five districts coming out of Fairfax hurt rural voters
• 18:36
  Speaker 22: that resonated with a lot of people. I was very
• 18:38
  Speaker 22: proud that Virginia Beach, the largest city of its size
• 18:42
  Speaker 22: in Virginia, went for vote no on this referendum. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 22: I think the reason for that is because they didn't
• 18:51
  Speaker 22: want somebody in northern Virginia telling them what to do. So,
• 18:57
  Speaker 22: like I said, the results aren't what we wanted, but
• 18:59
  Speaker 22: the but the path is clear.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Can it resonate into the midterms? And I made this
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: case and there's some arithmetic if you go to Daily
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Signal dot com there's a whole column about it. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: think it may be in the video blogs, but I
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: do the arithmetic. If you base because we don't register
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: as party members there's no real way to know who's
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: in these districts. This is just an extrapolation on the
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five gubernatorial election results. If you take the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty one election results, it's completely different because Governor
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Youngkin won a lot of these places. So I think
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: if you do the math, it's very close to where
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the Republicans actually pick up a seat with these districts.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: If that effort is there. Do you think that now,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: with enough time to get into the election season, that
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: effort could be there.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 19:58
  Speaker 22: Actually, I think that what you're seeing in Richmond right now,
• 20:02
  Speaker 22: and what you saw last night was a direct reflection
• 20:05
  Speaker 22: of people not trusting the leadership in Richmond right now,
• 20:10
  Speaker 22: and they We're going to have to capitalize on that
• 20:16
  Speaker 22: and go back to those ideas that I was talking
• 20:20
  Speaker 22: about earlier and get that messaging out there. And I
• 20:22
  Speaker 22: think that you know, Governor Younkin had a great strategy
• 20:26
  Speaker 22: of he was a big tent conservative and we need
• 20:29
  Speaker 22: to get back to that now. I'm a big tent
• 20:31
  Speaker 22: conservative myself. I think that diversity of thought, lots of
• 20:35
  Speaker 22: ideas bringing more people in. And I think Ronald Reagan
• 20:40
  Speaker 22: said if you agree with me eighty percent of the
• 20:43
  Speaker 22: time and disagree with me twenty percent of the time.
• 20:45
  Speaker 22: You're not my enemy, you're my friend.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Well, it's been my experience, and Delegate Andrew Rice on
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: with us from Virginia Beach. It's been my experience, though,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, even beyond the solutions, and I think in
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: solutions we will vary greatly in a lot of cases,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: but we can admit problems. So, Virginia Beach, you have issues.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: You have issues with crime, you have issues with curfews,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: you have issues with poverty, and these are real issues
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: that traditionally, and I mean traditionally in the twenty twenty
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: paradigm of Republicans, they would avoid those topics because in
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: their mind these were not Republican topics that they could
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: win with, but they were real, and they were losing
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: touch with voters who were saying, well, hold it, I
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: can't pay my bills. Why should I listen to this
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: delegate candidate who's not talking about that. I have to
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: run to a break hang out. Can you hang out
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: with me a little bit? You know he's used to
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: being up earlier as a new baby. Delegate Andrew Rice
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: from Virginia Beach on with us this morning.
• 22:02

  Speaker 20: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 20: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:17
  Speaker 20: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for,
• 23:21
  Speaker 20: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 20: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  Speaker 20: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  Speaker 20: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  Speaker 20: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 20: the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 20: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 20: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 20: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  Speaker 20: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  Speaker 20: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
• 23:53
  Speaker 20: Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them

• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen

• 28:50
  Speaker 27: sold me yesterday because he took me inside a powerwasher
• 28:53
  Speaker 27: that connects to your hose and said it was the

• 29:15
  Speaker 3: over the end of the hose and all of a
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: sudden you.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Have a power stage.
• 29:19
  Speaker 27: I understand that great taste of water coming out of
• 29:21
  Speaker 27: a hose that sat in the yard all summer long.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Ah that first after playing a little whiffleotball. That's good eating,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: right there. Kids, No, that's right, kids, don't do that anymore.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: All right. If we're worried about the world, Cup.
• 29:33
  Speaker 27: And if we're worried about ticket sales, don't worry about
• 29:36
  Speaker 27: it because the organizers now of the World Cup are
• 29:39
  Speaker 27: thinking that the United States is not going to sell
• 29:42
  Speaker 27: out it so far. But forty nine hundred and thirty
• 29:45
  Speaker 27: four tickets not enough for the June twelfth match between
• 29:48
  Speaker 27: US and Paraguay. And because Iran in New Zealand sold
• 29:52
  Speaker 27: fifty thousand tickets. All right, FIFA is keeping prices frozen
• 29:56
  Speaker 27: twenty seven hundred, nineteen hundred and one hundred, that is
• 30:01
  Speaker 27: in categories for the US match against Peguay. So it's
• 30:05
  Speaker 27: the only match featuring a co host the US, Canada
• 30:08
  Speaker 27: or Mexico. And they're all, you know, they're concerned about prices.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: So is that was that dollars or reale?
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: You know, those are dollars.
• 30:17
  Speaker 27: So get ready for World Cup this summer, which actually
• 30:21
  Speaker 27: actually should be a little fun.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: All right, before the main event, Billy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 27: Donovan stepped down to Chicago Bulls coach yesterday and that
• 30:29
  Speaker 27: a lot of people saw it and it publicly speculated
• 30:32
  Speaker 27: about his future last week they talked about it, but
• 30:34
  Speaker 27: now it's it's notable and and Donovan with you know,
• 30:38
  Speaker 27: Donovan is on the market. The bulls now a must
• 30:40
  Speaker 27: hire a new front office. So I've got to spend
• 30:42
  Speaker 27: some time today looking at what college team that Billy.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Donovan's going to return. He'll be a scouter, probably in
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: the front office.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Well, didn't he play the hang on? He played Beatino
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: at Providence? Yes, I mean, you know, that's that's something
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: you know, these guys I like to go home, you know.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, stayed, Yeah, he stayed. He stayed.
• 31:02
  Speaker 27: Awhile, Well, your Mets have lost twelve in a row
• 31:05
  Speaker 27: and a five to three loss to the Twins last night.
• 31:07
  Speaker 27: If you want to know, the longest set streak for
• 31:10
  Speaker 27: the franchise of two. Okay, but the club record is
• 31:14
  Speaker 27: seventeen and that was set.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: In nineteen sixty two. So everything turned.
• 31:18
  Speaker 27: I have stayed quiet on this whole thing for a while,
• 31:21
  Speaker 27: and I waited for Mike were able to speak, and
• 31:24
  Speaker 27: he did talk to the media yesterday. This whole Diana
• 31:27
  Speaker 27: Roussini episode is as clear as bad iced tea. He
• 31:32
  Speaker 27: did not at any point Mentionedstini's name or make reference
• 31:37
  Speaker 27: to the photographs which were taken at the Arizona Resort
• 31:40
  Speaker 27: last month, which those two people both married, and there
• 31:44
  Speaker 27: have been videos already surfaced from Rassini talking about if
• 31:48
  Speaker 27: my husband does this, I'm just going to get divorced.
• 31:50
  Speaker 27: I'll get divorced. No, he's not the guy who used
• 31:52
  Speaker 27: to you know she she had all these interviews where she.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Just dissed on her husband. I don't know anything about
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: her husband or whatever.
• 31:59
  Speaker 27: But when Vrabel won this in this press conference, I felt,
• 32:03
  Speaker 27: and listening to the whole thing, and I'm gonna play
• 32:05
  Speaker 27: a SoundBite here in a minute, I felt he talked
• 32:07
  Speaker 27: more about his football team he did his family. Really
• 32:10
  Speaker 27: he did mention, Look, I'm handling each day. I'm doing
• 32:13
  Speaker 27: what I need to do. But here's Mike Rawel piece
• 32:15
  Speaker 27: of it.
• 32:18
  Speaker 28: You know, I've had some difficult conversations with people that
• 32:21
  Speaker 28: I care about, with my family, the organization, the coaches,
• 32:24
  Speaker 28: the players. Those have been positive and productive. We never
• 32:28
  Speaker 28: want our actions to negatively effect affect the team. Those
• 32:32
  Speaker 28: are comments and questions that I've answered for the team
• 32:34
  Speaker 28: and with the team. We'll keep those private and care
• 32:37
  Speaker 28: deeply about this football team.
• 32:39
  Speaker 27: There so coach team getting back and then you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 27: getting ready for all the uh you know, the mini
• 32:44
  Speaker 27: camps and everything. And he said, I will I will
• 32:46
  Speaker 27: attack each day with humility and focus. But you know,
• 32:49
  Speaker 27: after we're seeing he got you know, got fired by
• 32:52
  Speaker 27: the Athletic and she was working for the New Post.
• 32:54
  Speaker 27: I mean they're going through all her, all her interviews,
• 32:56
  Speaker 27: and you know, just trying to dig up whatever on her.
• 32:59
  Speaker 27: I mean, she's gotta laying on her feet. She's gonna

• 44:03
  Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: On this Tednesday morning, Thank you for joining us here
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: live from the Virginia General Assembly.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: We're here.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: It is what they call veto day or reconvene day
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: if you want to be more polite about it, where
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: the General Assembly will sit down and pretend to hold
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: the governor's feet to the fire because she's now part
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: of their team, so that it was much more contentious
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: when Glenn Youngkin was governor here. But we're talking about
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: the vote yesterday still gobbling up the national headlines as
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: well as Virginia by a very slim margin.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Voted to prove.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: The Democratic Party's plan to scrap the election districts of
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: our eleven congressmen and redraw them fancifully. One of them
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: actually looks like a scorpion. I don't know how they
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: did this, but they redrew them so that by election
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: results you have majorities of Democrats in all but one
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: of our eleven districts. Delegate Andrew Rice is a particularly
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: interesting case because he's new to the General Assembly, was
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: just elected. You said on Saint Patrick's Day of this year,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: to come in and fill a seat and tell me
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: what you saw when you got here as a fresh
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: set of eyes.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: You obviously were politically aware.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like you were walking down the street and
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: somebody tapped you on the shoulder and said, hey, you
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: got a few days you want to come Richmond to
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: be in the House of Delegates. So were their impressions
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: where you said, I can't believe this happens here, or
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: were things better or worse than you thought when you
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: got here.
• 45:52
  Speaker 22: Well, the stuff that was coming out of Richmond, for
• 45:57
  Speaker 22: my subject matter expertise, was just alarming, and so that
• 46:01
  Speaker 22: was really the catalyst of saying.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Just for the record, what is that subject matter expertise?
• 46:08
  Speaker 22: So I'm prosecutor by trade, commonwealth attorney for the City
• 46:13
  Speaker 22: of Virginia Beach, and so I was looking at these
• 46:15
  Speaker 22: criminal justice reform bills and giving voices to the offender
• 46:20
  Speaker 22: and not the victim, and I thought to myself, well,
• 46:22
  Speaker 22: there at least needs to be one voice up there
• 46:24
  Speaker 22: that can go affair and advocate for victims' rights.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: And that is so the last we went to break
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: on the idea of places Republicans have for decades blanched
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: away from. And I think after George Soros realized it
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: costs a lot less to pay for a bunch of
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: commonwealth attorneys to get elected than it does a bunch
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: of congress people to get elected, and he can lean
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: his thumb on the scales of justice. We've seen these
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: progressive prosecutors take hold all across the country, not just
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: in Virginia. And you know have acted, and I made
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: this case before you got here, that why should we
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: expect the Virginia House of Delegates and State Senate to
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: uphold the law? And they've broken the law. I found
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: out last night at this event we were at that
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: there's a fourth instance where they broke the law in
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: establishing this constitutional amendment. Why should they follow the law
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: if the citizens in their district are not going to
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: be held accountable to stealing to you know, drug possession,
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: things like that. If that isn't going to be prosecutable,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: what is in this world?
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 47:36
  Speaker 22: I mean, it's alarming that people can just use their
• 47:43
  Speaker 22: discretion to not uphold the statutes that are on the
• 47:47
  Speaker 22: books already.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: So when you got here, you said you were kind
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: of surprised by how that was being treated.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: I mean to kind of nonsigent.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: I'm like President Trump, I grew up in Queens and
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: I have an unusual haircut. But I do come back
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: to my points eventually.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:03
  Speaker 22: So, I mean, I just was looking at those bills
• 48:05
  Speaker 22: and I was thinking, I've got to be able to
• 48:07
  Speaker 22: go up there and advocate for the other side. And
• 48:10
  Speaker 22: that's really one of the things that drove me to
• 48:13
  Speaker 22: do this.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: So, how does the Republican Party get better at talking
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: about poverty criminal justice reform? I know that some of
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: the folks out of Texas, the Texas Public Policy Foundation
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: and Right on Crime have done a lot.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump has worked a lot.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: With them on recidivism rates and things like that, because
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: there are real issues there. I mean, it's not like
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: that it's a made up thing. So what does a
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: conservative say about criminal justice, about poverty, about the inner cities,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: and helping people out of this consuming cycle that leads
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: them to vote more and more frequently for more and
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: more Marxists Democrats.
• 48:57
  Speaker 22: Well, I mean, before we get to say anything, you
• 49:00
  Speaker 22: have to go there. You have to be there to
• 49:05
  Speaker 22: have a conversation with these people. And I think that we,
• 49:08
  Speaker 22: perhaps as a base, have ignored those segments of our population.
• 49:12
  Speaker 22: And so one of the things that I strive to
• 49:14
  Speaker 22: do is get into those communities, work with church leaders,
• 49:18
  Speaker 22: go out and walk those neighborhoods. And these people are
• 49:22
  Speaker 22: looking for help. They are disenfranchised. And when you sit
• 49:27
  Speaker 22: down and explain that you've been voting a certain way
• 49:30
  Speaker 22: for the last thirty years and you're no better off
• 49:32
  Speaker 22: than you were thirty years ago, perhaps it's time to
• 49:36
  Speaker 22: look for another alternative.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: People are very receptive to that.
• 49:39
  Speaker 22: Joe, for instance, we have a community in my district
• 49:45
  Speaker 22: where I've contacted several leaders to go walk these neighborhoods
• 49:50
  Speaker 22: and meet people.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: Get into the schools.
• 49:54
  Speaker 22: That's another thing. That we need to do is we
• 49:57
  Speaker 22: need to get into the schools because there's a there's
• 50:01
  Speaker 22: a real belief that the other side for them is evil.
• 50:07
  Speaker 22: They are scared of law enforcement, they are scared of prosecutors,
• 50:10
  Speaker 22: and they don't need to be once they meet these people,
• 50:14
  Speaker 22: and once they meet us and realize that we're just
• 50:17
  Speaker 22: we're looking out for their best interests as well, it
• 50:19
  Speaker 22: really resonates with them well.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: And I've said in the past that I don't know
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: what the mathematics or the social response to this is,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: but most young people I know view courtrooms as a
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: place to go get screwed rather than to go get justice.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: And I really feel like that has to change because
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: otherwise there really is no rule of law anymore in
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: the country.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: One hundred percent.
• 50:45
  Speaker 22: And so I think that we've given a voice to
• 50:48
  Speaker 22: the offender and not the victim. And when we talk
• 50:51
  Speaker 22: about what courtrooms really are like in the areas of
• 50:55
  Speaker 22: criminal law, when somebody is being tried for an offense,
• 51:00
  Speaker 22: violent offense, there is another side, the person that was
• 51:02
  Speaker 22: the victim, and they need a strong advocate, and that
• 51:07
  Speaker 22: needs to be highlighted that when we go into a courtroom,
• 51:10
  Speaker 22: we are advocating for the rights of somebody who had
• 51:13
  Speaker 22: their rights disturbed or tramveled on.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Is that part of it, though, because one of the
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: narratives that just drives me crazy is this idea that
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: you know you don't have rights if you own a
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: house because you've exploited someone down the line. Is that
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: something we have to find a way to bridge that
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: idea that if I own a business, I'm an exploiter
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: rather than somebody who's just trying to do something in
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: my com community.
• 51:38
  Speaker 22: Well, sure, I think that whole conversation goes back to
• 51:41
  Speaker 22: one of the things that I am really big on,
• 51:43
  Speaker 22: which is ideological consistency, right, And so what I mean
• 51:46
  Speaker 22: by that is, if I vote no for a bill
• 51:48
  Speaker 22: for some reason, I'm going to have consistent reasons for
• 51:52
  Speaker 22: voting no for that bill. And one of the things
• 51:55
  Speaker 22: that we keep hearing about is the American dream, right,
• 51:58
  Speaker 22: And what is the American dream? American dream is to
• 52:00
  Speaker 22: own a home, is to run a small business, is
• 52:03
  Speaker 22: to pull yourself up and make something through hard work
• 52:09
  Speaker 22: and keep some money in your pocket, provide for your families.
• 52:12
  Speaker 22: So the people that are their small business owners are
• 52:15
  Speaker 22: your homeowners. They're not exploiting anything. They are chasing the
• 52:20
  Speaker 22: American dream, and I think that we need to recenter
• 52:24
  Speaker 22: the conversation on that.
• 52:26

  Speaker 19: You know, It's true. Difficult times have a way of
• 52:54
  Speaker 19: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 52:57
  Speaker 19: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
• 52:59
  Speaker 19: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
• 53:03
  Speaker 19: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
• 53:06
  Speaker 19: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
• 53:09
  Speaker 19: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious
• 53:12
  Speaker 19: why too, especially now during this challenging season with health
• 53:16
  Speaker 19: care costs and out of pocket expenses. Going up meta
• 53:19
  Speaker 19: share can save you a lot of money. The typical
