  Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation

  Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the blue dot red one podcast
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: at a time. For the spring and summer, I have
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: been saying, don't let congressional Democratic candidate Denise Powell pull
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: an Abigail Spanberger, campaign as a moderate, and then govern
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: as a hardcore leftist. I may have to change it to,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: don't let Denise Powell pull a Dan Osborne. Osborne, a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: registered independent running for a Nebraska U.S. Senate seat, is
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: catching flack for a video in which he said he'll
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: lose the election if he comes out in favor of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: illegal immigration and the rainbow flag and the rest of
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party agenda. But once he secures a six-year
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Senate seat, he can do whatever he wants. He used
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: language a little saltier than mine, but that was the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: gist of it. The sad truth is, Democrats have come
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to expect this from their candidates. Nod, nod. Wink, wink.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Say whatever you have to say to sound moderate or
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: center-left to get elected, but we know where you'll be
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: as a voting officeholder. Some on the left have lamented
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the way Democrat James Tallarico, campaigning for a Texas U.S.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Senate seat, has disavowed some of his previous left-wing statements
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: about sexual gender and other issues. In an interview, his
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: pastor at his church said, said she is confident that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Tallarico is just saying those things to appeal to a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: broader base of voters needed to win the election. The
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: pastor was asked if that is ethical or moral to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: essentially lie about your positions now when you know you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: will act differently as an officeholder. The pastor said if
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that's what he thinks he needs to do to win,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that's fine. Somewhere, The late Al Davis is smiling. He
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: was the renegade owner of the renegade and Super Bowl
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: champion Oakland Raiders. When Davis was pressed about the sometimes
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: unsportsmanlike play of his players, he replied with a grin,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Just win, baby. It's different on the Republican side. Republicans
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: become furious with candidates who campaign as one thing and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: govern as another. Usually it's conservatives who mad at a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: candidate who campaigned as a conservative but governs as a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: moderate or liberal. Despite Don Bacon's five consecutive Republican victories
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in Nebraska District 2, some local Republicans have been upset
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: with him for not being conservative enough. I, at times,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: have disagreed with Don, but I've never been angry. Don
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: governs as he campaigns. Moderate. Bipartisan. Center-right. He was never
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: going to be a Freedom Caucus member. What does this
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: have to do with turning the blue dot red? I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: have taken a spin through Denise Powell's priorities section at
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: her campaign website. There is a lot of rhetoric about
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: protecting education and health care and reproductive rights and the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: standard of living of regular folks and opposing President Trump's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: corruption and attack on our democracies. there are precious few specifics.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: There is language about securing our border, but it's presented
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: as part of her vow to demand changes to our
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: broken immigration system. Our immigration system is not broken. There
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: are bureaucratic aspects of the process for legal immigration that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: should be improved, but the border is secure. Catch and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: release is no more. Millions of illegal immigrants, most of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: them rapists and murderers and drug dealers and human traffickers,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: have been removed from the country or have self-deported. Yet
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Powell says she wants to undo the catastrophic damage Trump
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and his administration have done to America when it comes
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to immigration policy. Her Republican rival, Brinker Harding, should draw
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Powell out on this and other issues. She says at
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: her website that illegal immigrants whose only crime was to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: come here illegally ought to have a pathway to citizenship.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, if you hear Powell or anyone say
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: illegal immigration is not a crime, that is false. That
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is wrong. One of the possible penalties for illegal immigration
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: is imprisonment. Not every violation of the law is a crime.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But an offense for which you can be jailed is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a criminal offense. You can't put someone in jail unless
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the person has committed a crime, not just a civil
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: or statutory violation of the law. Illegal immigration is a crime.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Harding and Republicans ought to be ready with a list
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: for Powell. Do you support amnesty for illegal immigrants? Do
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you support men who say they are women using women's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: bathrooms and competing in women's sports? Do you support cashless
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: bail for arrestees awaiting trial? Do you support Medicare for All?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Do you support the tax and spending increases that would
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: be necessary to fund Medicare for All? Do you believe
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy should be convicted of murder for killing her children?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Do you believe a mother has a right to kill
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: her child while the child is still in the mother's womb.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: That's not an exhaustive list, but you get the idea.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Even if she becomes duck-and-dodge Denise on these issues and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: won't give clear answers, you remind voters what her party's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: national agenda is and how she will vote as a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: representative in the House. That's Check with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you for listening.
