- 1:52Speaker 4: that highlight, I want to make it about Plasco, this
- 1:54Speaker 4: is about you. But when you hear that highlight, does
- 1:57Speaker 4: that bring back some great memories? I imagine you were
- 1:59Speaker 4: sitting in the stands at night. Take us back to
- 2:02Speaker 4: that touchdown catch when the Giants won that Super Bowl.
- 2:05Speaker 5: Oh man, that I was as I was listening to that,
- 2:08Speaker 5: I was just sitting here and smiling because that was definitely,
- 2:11Speaker 5: absolutely one of the greatest, happiest moments of all time.
- 2:15Speaker 5: It was absolutely amazing, and I tell everybody to this
- 2:18Speaker 5: day that was the best people goal I've ever seen.
- 2:22Speaker 6: It really was. It was.
- 2:23Speaker 4: And Eli had that crazy play where he threw the
- 2:25Speaker 4: ball up and David Tyree caught it, and it was
- 2:28Speaker 4: a lot of things had to happen for the Giants
- 2:30Speaker 4: to win before your husband caught the game winning touchdown,
- 2:34Speaker 4: So I guess tip you know again. He spent four
- 2:36Speaker 4: years with the Giants, one year with the Jets, but
- 2:38Speaker 4: he went back to Pittsburgh. You guys did in twenty twelve.
- 2:42Speaker 4: But it looks like you never left New Jersey. You
- 2:44Speaker 4: must really like it here.
- 2:46Speaker 5: Oh, we absolutely love it here. That's why we're still here.
- 2:48Speaker 5: And we both want to sit up and make sure
- 2:51Speaker 5: you know the District nine is more affordable and better
- 2:55Speaker 5: for everybody. Yes, we love it here and we want
- 2:57Speaker 5: people to stay in that lease.
- 2:59Speaker 6: Yeah, Plexico.
- 3:00Speaker 4: I did some work with my dear friend Craig Carton
- 3:01Speaker 4: on Fox Sports one a year or two ago. He
- 3:04Speaker 4: was terrific, And I've met your husband many times. He's
- 3:07Speaker 4: a terrific guy. But in your case now, now, Tiffany,
- 3:09Speaker 4: the District nine, if I'm right, yes, if I'm wrong,
- 3:13Speaker 4: correct me? Is that Patterson, Passaic parts of Bergen County?
- 3:18Speaker 6: What exactly? What area is out exactly?
- 3:21Speaker 5: Yes, the District nine is Passaic County, which does include Patterson, Clifton,
- 3:27Speaker 5: it's South Bergen and then a little bit of Hudson
- 3:30Speaker 5: County which is Carney and Seacaucus.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Okay, so that's a pretty large area, some very very
- 3:36Speaker 4: big cities, and correct me if I'm wrong. But tomorrow
- 3:39Speaker 4: it is not a two man but a two lady primary.
- 3:42Speaker 4: You'll be taking on Rosemarie Pino.
- 3:45Speaker 6: Is that right?
- 3:46Speaker 5: Yes, tomorrow, I'll be taking on Rosemary Pino. And I
- 3:49Speaker 5: hope everybody comes out to vote. And I mean, we
- 3:52Speaker 5: are District nine deserves better. It deserves better if there
- 3:56Speaker 5: serves somebody that's not going to vote for sanctuary. Voted
- 4:00Speaker 5: for it to be a sanctuary city. She voted to
- 4:02Speaker 5: raise the taxes. Same with the current Congresswoman, Nelly Poe.
- 4:07Speaker 5: She votes she also wants sanctuary cities, and she voted
- 4:10Speaker 5: to raise the taxes. District nine deserves better. They deserve better.
- 4:14Speaker 5: They deserve someone that's actually going to help make it
- 4:16Speaker 5: more affordable to the people and fight for the people.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Nelly Poe is running again though, right on the Democrat side.
- 4:22Speaker 5: Yes, yes, he's running again. Yes she is.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Okay, So you're a Republican. Are you a Trump Republican,
- 4:27Speaker 4: migro Republican, just a Republican moderate?
- 4:30Speaker 6: How would you describe yourself?
- 4:32Speaker 5: I'm a true Republican. I'm a conservative, and I have
- 4:36Speaker 5: the true Republican values unlike my opponent rosy Pino, I
- 4:42Speaker 5: believed in have securing the border, uh, you know, funding
- 4:47Speaker 5: our police. I'm just a true conservative Republican.
- 4:50Speaker 4: So are you a Trump fan or no, whatever, just
- 4:54Speaker 4: just a Republican.
- 4:56Speaker 5: Oh yes, I mean Trump. He campaigned on making up
- 4:59Speaker 5: more affordable and helping the working class. And me, as
- 5:03Speaker 5: an attorney, I've been sending my main thing as attorney.
- 5:05Speaker 5: I'm a worker's compensation attorney. So I've been fighting for
- 5:09Speaker 5: the working class in the district for approximately like twenty years. Now.
- 5:13Speaker 5: As attorney and the president, we have the same mission
- 5:16Speaker 5: and I love that.
- 5:16Speaker 6: Love that too.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Tiffany Burris right here running in District nine, New Jersey tomorrow.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Get your restes out and vote for this lady, please.
- 5:23Speaker 4: And you know some of those areas that your constituents
- 5:26Speaker 4: will end up being in, tiff You know this is
- 5:29Speaker 4: not all upperside of River, if you know what I'm saying.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Some points, Patterson especially is still still kind of rough.
- 5:36Speaker 4: So there's a lot of folks in those neighborhoods. If
- 5:38Speaker 4: I'm wrong, correct me. Because I live in New York,
- 5:40Speaker 4: maybe I'm wrong, but I go to New Jersey enough
- 5:42Speaker 4: to know that some of those neighborhoods, they really need
- 5:45Speaker 4: your help. They need congress people's help. Is that fair
- 5:48Speaker 4: to say?
- 5:50Speaker 5: Yes, it's very fair to say. I know that the
- 5:53Speaker 5: Nelly po she voted against funding for the district, and
- 5:56Speaker 5: those areas really extremely neat funding. So they definitely need
- 6:01Speaker 5: my help. They definitely need somebody that's going to try
- 6:03Speaker 5: to make it more affordable. They definitely need somebody that's
- 6:06Speaker 5: going to help it be secure. We need to make sure,
- 6:09Speaker 5: you know, our border is secure. We need to again
- 6:11Speaker 5: support our police and funder police. But they yes, we
- 6:15Speaker 5: need funding for the district. You name it, and I'm
- 6:19Speaker 5: there and I'm going to make it better.
- 6:20Speaker 4: What about education? I know your husband went to Michigan
- 6:24Speaker 4: State exactly where you went to college, but I'm sure
- 6:27Speaker 4: you got some more kids. I got to imagine some
- 6:29Speaker 4: of those areas again not getting the best when it
- 6:32Speaker 4: comes to the education dollar.
- 6:35Speaker 6: How much of that is an issue in District nine.
- 6:38Speaker 5: It's a big issue. I currently serve on a board
- 6:41Speaker 5: of a charter school and I get to see firsthand
- 6:44Speaker 5: like what happens when teachers and parents are empowered to innovate.
- 6:48Speaker 5: Every child deserves a high quality education, No better the
- 6:52Speaker 5: zip code. So those ones that are in certain zip
- 6:55Speaker 5: codes that aren't getting it, I definitely priority would be
- 6:58Speaker 5: to make sure that they can get high quality education.
- 7:01Speaker 6: I'm curious what motivates you.
- 7:03Speaker 4: You know, I've been talking about the possibility of running
- 7:06Speaker 4: for mayor. Really I have not been saying. Actually, let
- 7:08Speaker 4: me correct that everybody else is, I mean every politician.
- 7:12Speaker 4: I just had Bruce Plateman on he's running for governor.
- 7:14Speaker 4: He calls me, mister mayor, and I know what happened
- 7:16Speaker 4: with me. What happened with me was, look, I've got
- 7:18Speaker 4: a great job, I make a nice living, and I'm famous.
- 7:22Speaker 4: I got all those things. But I watched mom Donnie win,
- 7:25Speaker 4: and I'm watching him destroy my city. And as bad
- 7:29Speaker 4: as Bill Deblasia was, this guy is exponentially worse.
- 7:33Speaker 6: And I know, I know, if I ever really.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Really did it, I'd be great because, like you, Tiffany,
- 7:40Speaker 4: I've got the same conservative values. I am maga, I
- 7:42Speaker 4: am President Trump's kind of right hand guy. So that's
- 7:45Speaker 4: what did it? From me watching Mom Donnie. How does
- 7:48Speaker 4: Tiffany Burris, the wife of a famous professional athlete, mom
- 7:52Speaker 4: all those things wake up in New Jersey morning one
- 7:55Speaker 4: day and say I want to do this.
- 7:57Speaker 6: What happened?
- 8:00Speaker 2: You know what.
- 8:00Speaker 5: I come from a family that understands the value of
- 8:02Speaker 5: a dollar. My dad worked in the steel mill, my
- 8:05Speaker 5: mom taught in a public school district. They both showed
- 8:08Speaker 5: me what hard work looks like. But they also taught
- 8:11Speaker 5: me something just as important, and that's to get back
- 8:13Speaker 5: to serve your neighbors, to help fight for those who
- 8:16Speaker 5: can't fight for themselves. And seeing currently what's going on
- 8:19Speaker 5: with their district with Nellie Poe not fighting for the district,
- 8:23Speaker 5: I look at it and I'm like, they deserve better.
- 8:25Speaker 5: And then to also seeing the other person, Rosy Pino,
- 8:28Speaker 5: that my opponent that I'm going up against, and her
- 8:31Speaker 5: to have the seeing values as Nelly Poe. And I
- 8:33Speaker 5: didn't even mention this earlier, but as a Republican. She
- 8:37Speaker 5: endorsed Nellie Poe in twenty twenty, so yes, she endorsed her,
- 8:43Speaker 5: and she also went on her page, and she on
- 8:45Speaker 5: her Facebook page and she told people to vote for
- 8:48Speaker 5: Kamala No. I mean, these are these are the options
- 8:52Speaker 5: that you have for the dism It's absolutely ridiculous.
- 8:55Speaker 6: Rosie Pino, God bless her.
- 8:58Speaker 4: She's a loser. I mean, I'm going to say it,
- 9:00Speaker 4: lose her. You can't be endorsing giggling Kamala or you know,
- 9:05Speaker 4: she probably also likes Mikey Mohammad Cheryl.
- 9:08Speaker 6: I don't know, but clearly probably on.
- 9:11Speaker 5: A Facebook page, everybody could see it. It's like, hey,
- 9:13Speaker 5: you know I endorse Nelly oh and hey, and she
- 9:17Speaker 5: encouraged voters to vote for Kamala. And you know, our
- 9:19Speaker 5: district they deserve people that are actually going to be
- 9:23Speaker 5: there for them. They don't deserve a rhino. And right now,
- 9:26Speaker 5: that's the other option. And I set up and with
- 9:29Speaker 5: my values and where I came from, the district deserves better.
- 9:34Speaker 5: People are moving out because it's unaffordable. I support what
- 9:38Speaker 5: right now what the Trump administration has done with affordability,
- 9:41Speaker 5: no tax on tips over time and social Security and
- 9:44Speaker 5: just doing my taxes with the salt deduction. But there's
- 9:47Speaker 5: more that work that needs to be done. We need
- 9:49Speaker 5: to make sure that stays in place. But then we
- 9:50Speaker 5: need to expand. I want to expand on it. And
- 9:53Speaker 5: I feel, you know, so that made me step up.
- 9:55Speaker 5: It made me step up, caring and have a big
- 9:58Speaker 5: heart and wanting better.
- 10:00Speaker 6: That's awesome.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Any early returns, any hearing anything that leads you to
- 10:04Speaker 4: believe that you're gonna beat Pino the Rhino. I know
- 10:07Speaker 4: it's pronounced Pino, but I kind of like Pino the Rhino.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Any early returns that have you very confident about tomorrow morning.
- 10:15Speaker 5: I am confident. I've been on the ground. I started,
- 10:18Speaker 5: you know, as soon as possible. I've been doing a
- 10:20Speaker 5: ton of door knocking, going to different events, and I
- 10:23Speaker 5: can say that being out there, I've received a lot
- 10:25Speaker 5: of positive feedbacks.
- 10:26Speaker 4: I love it all right, Tiffany, we're endorsing you big time,
- 10:29Speaker 4: big time. I got a big audience in Jersey. By
- 10:32Speaker 4: the way, I destroyed one on one point five New
- 10:34Speaker 4: Jersey to destroyed those guys. So we want everybody in
- 10:38Speaker 4: District nine tomorrow to vote for Tiffany Burrows. Clearly she
- 10:42Speaker 4: is the only and right Republican candidate. You sound great.
- 10:47Speaker 4: I think you're gonna be great. So good luck tomorrow,
- 10:49Speaker 4: and after you win, we'll bring you back so you
- 10:51Speaker 4: can win the general election. How does that sound?
- 10:53Speaker 5: Oh? That sounds great. And thank you again for having
