• 4:15
  an
• 4:15
  official
• 4:16
  guest.
• 4:17
  That's
• 4:17
  right.
• 4:18
  We.
• 4:18
  I.
• 4:19
  There
• 4:19
  were.
• 4:20
  There
• 4:20
  were.
• 4:20
  I
• 4:21
  guess,
• 4:21
  let's
• 4:22
  see.
• 4:22
  You
• 4:22
  have
• 4:22
  been
• 4:22
  the
• 4:23
  vice
• 4:23
  chair
• 4:24
  since
• 4:25
  May,
• 4:25
  correct,
• 4:26
  Or
• 4:27
  since
• 4:27
  April
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  2022?
• 4:29
  Of
• 4:30
  20.
• 4:30
  May
• 4:30
  of
• 4:31
  2022.
• 4:32
  And
• 4:33
  how
• 4:33
  is
• 4:33
  that
• 4:34
  going?
• 4:35
  Well,
• 4:36
  we're
• 4:37
  coming
• 4:37
  to
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  end
• 4:38
  of
• 4:38
  that,
• 4:38
  but
• 4:39
  it
• 4:39
  has
• 4:39
  been
• 4:39
  an
• 4:40
  exciting
• 4:41
  term.
• 4:42
  I'll
• 4:43
  say.
• 4:43
  I
• 4:43
  didn't.
• 4:44
  When
• 4:44
  I
• 4:44
  ran,
• 4:44
  I
• 4:44
  didn't
• 4:45
  know
• 4:45
  or
• 4:45
  even
• 4:46
  think
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  my
• 4:46
  head
• 4:46
  about
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  presidential
• 4:47
  election.
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  didn't
• 4:48
  know
• 4:48
  about
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  dnc.
• 4:50
  I
• 4:50
  mean,
• 4:50
  I
• 4:50
  was
• 4:50
  aware
• 4:50
  that
• 4:51
  that
• 4:51
  was
• 4:51
  something
• 4:51
  that
• 4:51
  happened,
• 4:52
  but
• 4:53
  I
• 4:53
  didn't
• 4:53
  know,
• 4:54
  like,
• 4:54
  how
• 4:55
  big
• 4:55
  of
• 4:55
  a
• 4:55
  deal
• 4:55
  it
• 4:55
  was
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  be
• 4:56
  in
• 4:57
  my
• 4:57
  position
• 4:57
  in
• 4:58
  such
• 4:58
  a.
• 4:59
  Interesting
• 4:59
  time
• 5:00
  in
• 5:00
  politics,
• 5:00
  especially
• 5:01
  Carolina.
• 5:02
  So
• 5:02
  the
• 5:03
  position
• 5:03
  has
• 5:04
  warranted
• 5:04
  me
• 5:05
  a
• 5:05
  lot
• 5:05
  of
• 5:05
  opportunity
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  don't
• 5:06
  think
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  would
• 5:07
  have
• 5:07
  had
• 5:07
  otherwise.
• 5:07
  So,
• 5:08
  yeah,
• 5:08
  it's
• 5:08
  been
• 5:08
  cool.
• 5:09
  And
• 5:09
  it's
• 5:09
  also
• 5:10
  been
• 5:10
  rough.
• 5:11
  You
• 5:12
  know,
• 5:12
  being
• 5:12
  in
• 5:12
  leadership,
• 5:12
  you
• 5:13
  get
• 5:13
  blamed
• 5:13
  for
• 5:13
  everything,
• 5:15
  but
• 5:15
  I
• 5:15
  just
• 5:15
  try
• 5:15
  to
• 5:16
  do
• 5:16
  my
• 5:16
  part
• 5:16
  and,
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  show
• 5:18
  my
• 5:18
  receipts.
• 5:19
  Like
• 5:19
  I've
• 5:19
  been
• 5:19
  out
• 5:19
  here
• 5:20
  trying
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  do
• 5:20
  some
• 5:20
  stuff.
• 5:21
  Yeah.
• 5:22
  So
• 5:23
  just
• 5:23
  so
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  know,
• 5:23
  none
• 5:24
  of
• 5:24
  those
• 5:24
  emails
• 5:24
  that
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  sent
• 5:25
  that
• 5:26
  sounded
• 5:26
  angry
• 5:26
  were
• 5:27
  directed
• 5:27
  at
• 5:27
  you.
• 5:28
  Okay.
• 5:30
  Okay.
• 5:32
  So
• 5:32
  here's
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  thing
• 5:33
  about
• 5:34
  Crystal,
• 5:35
  and
• 5:36
  I
• 5:36
  adore
• 5:36
  her.
• 5:36
  I
• 5:37
  do.
• 5:37
  But
• 5:38
  her
• 5:38
  name
• 5:38
  isn't
• 5:39
  spelled
• 5:39
  Crystal.
• 5:40
  It's
• 5:40
  spelled
• 5:40
  Crystale.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:42
  every
• 5:42
  time
• 5:42
  I
• 5:43
  talked
• 5:43
  to
• 5:43
  her,
• 5:44
  she
• 5:44
  never
• 5:45
  corrected
• 5:45
  me.
• 5:46
  So
• 5:46
  for
• 5:47
  months,
• 5:48
  like,
• 5:48
  I'd
• 5:49
  hear
• 5:49
  her
• 5:49
  introduced
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  not
• 5:50
  pay
• 5:50
  any
• 5:50
  attention
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  it.
• 5:51
  I
• 5:51
  would
• 5:51
  just
• 5:51
  be
• 5:52
  like,
• 5:52
  oh,
• 5:52
  Crystal
• 5:53
  Spain.
• 5:53
  And
• 5:54
  then
• 5:55
  I'm
• 5:55
  literally
• 5:56
  talking
• 5:57
  somewhere,
• 5:57
  and
• 5:57
  Matt
• 5:58
  pokes
• 5:58
  me
• 5:59
  in
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  shoulder
• 5:59
  and
• 5:59
  he
• 5:59
  goes,
• 6:00
  hey,
• 6:00
  it's
• 6:00
  Crystal,
• 6:01
  not
• 6:01
  Cristale.
• 6:02
  I
• 6:02
  was
• 6:02
  like,
• 6:03
  why
• 6:03
  didn't
• 6:04
  she
• 6:04
  correct
• 6:04
  me?
• 6:05
  Oh,
• 6:06
  she's
• 6:06
  much
• 6:06
  more
• 6:07
  patient
• 6:07
  than
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  am.
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  would
• 6:07
  have
• 6:08
  corrected
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  first
• 6:08
  time.
• 6:09
  Absolutely.
• 6:12
  So
• 6:12
  you.
• 6:13
  You
• 6:13
  made
• 6:13
  the
• 6:14
  decision
• 6:14
  to
• 6:14
  run
• 6:14
  for
• 6:14
  the
• 6:15
  special
• 6:15
  election.
• 6:16
  Why
• 6:16
  is
• 6:17
  this
• 6:17
  seat
• 6:17
  open?
• 6:19
  So
• 6:19
  Marvin
• 6:19
  Pendarvis,
• 6:21
  he
• 6:21
  had
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  seat
• 6:22
  previously,
• 6:23
  and
• 6:23
  he
• 6:24
  got
• 6:24
  into
• 6:24
  some
• 6:24
  legal
• 6:25
  trouble
• 6:25
  and
• 6:26
  ended
• 6:26
  up
• 6:26
  resigning.
• 6:27
  He
• 6:28
  held
• 6:28
  a
• 6:28
  press
• 6:28
  conference
• 6:29
  in
• 6:29
  October,
• 6:29
  but
• 6:30
  he
• 6:30
  officially
• 6:30
  resigned
• 6:31
  November
• 6:32
  7th.
• 6:33
  So
• 6:35
  it's
• 6:35
  open
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  I'm
• 6:36
  running
• 6:36
  for
• 6:36
  it.
• 6:37
  Well,
• 6:38
  there's
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  decent
• 6:40
  possibility
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  the
• 6:42
  House
• 6:42
  seat
• 6:42
  for
• 6:42
  my
• 6:42
  district
• 6:43
  is
• 6:43
  going
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  be
• 6:43
  open
• 6:44
  because
• 6:44
  I'm
• 6:44
  represented
• 6:45
  by
• 6:45
  RJ
• 6:45
  May,
• 6:47
  who
• 6:47
  is
• 6:48
  also
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  some
• 6:49
  legal
• 6:50
  trouble.
• 6:50
  Okay.
• 6:51
  Just
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  little.
• 6:52
  Yeah.
• 6:53
  His
• 6:53
  house
• 6:53
  was
• 6:54
  raided
• 6:54
  by
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  FBI
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  department
• 6:56
  or.
• 6:56
  And
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  Homeland
• 6:58
  Security
• 6:58
  Investigations
• 6:59
  Group
• 6:59
  for
• 7:00
  potential
• 7:00
  child
• 7:01
  endangerment,
• 7:02
  which,
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  know,
• 7:03
  seems
• 7:04
  not
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  accuse
• 7:05
  anybody
• 7:05
  or
• 7:06
  make
• 7:06
  any
• 7:07
  unwarranted
• 7:08
  allegations,
• 7:08
  but
• 7:09
  seems
• 7:09
  to
• 7:10
  be
• 7:11
  an
• 7:11
  issue
• 7:12
  with
• 7:12
  the
• 7:12
  Freedom
• 7:12
  Caucus.
• 7:14
  Anyway,
• 7:16
  that
• 7:16
  is
• 7:16
  my
• 7:16
  opinion.
• 7:17
  Are
• 7:17
  you
• 7:17
  going
• 7:17
  to
• 7:18
  run
• 7:18
  for
• 7:18
  it?
• 7:18
  Yeah,
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  think
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  I
• 7:23
  will
• 7:23
  back
• 7:24
  whoever
• 7:24
  it
• 7:24
  is
• 7:24
  that
• 7:25
  I
• 7:25
  can
• 7:25
  talk
• 7:25
  into
• 7:26
  running
• 7:26
  for
• 7:26
  it.
• 7:28
  The
• 7:29
  election
• 7:30
  season
• 7:30
  for
• 7:30
  me,
• 7:30
  I
• 7:31
  was
• 7:31
  glad
• 7:31
  to
• 7:31
  see,
• 7:32
  was
• 7:32
  over
• 7:32
  on
• 7:33
  November
• 7:34
  6
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  prepare
• 7:37
  for
• 7:37
  that
• 7:38
  and,
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  know,
• 7:38
  speaking
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  you
• 7:39
  directly
• 7:40
  about
• 7:40
  it,
• 7:40
  like,
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  idea
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  going
• 7:41
  from
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  election,
• 7:44
  even
• 7:44
  as
• 7:45
  disappointing
• 7:45
  as
• 7:45
  it
• 7:46
  was
• 7:46
  in
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  lot
• 7:46
  of
• 7:46
  cases,
• 7:47
  to
• 7:48
  now
• 7:48
  rolling
• 7:49
  right
• 7:49
  back
• 7:49
  into
• 7:49
  it,
• 7:49
  but
• 7:50
  this
• 7:50
  time,
• 7:50
  you're.
• 7:51
  You're
• 7:51
  directly
• 7:52
  involved.
• 7:53
  This
• 7:53
  is
• 7:53
  you.
• 7:54
  Yep.
• 7:54
  How.
• 7:56
  How
• 7:56
  did
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  go
• 7:57
  over
• 7:57
  with
• 7:57
  the
• 7:58
  family?
• 7:58
  Whoo.
• 7:59
  It
• 7:59
  was
• 7:59
  tough.
• 8:00
  For
• 8:00
  those
• 8:01
  of
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  that
• 8:01
  don't
• 8:01
  know,
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  have
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  five
• 8:03
  month
• 8:03
  old
• 8:03
  baby,
• 8:04
  his
• 8:05
  name
• 8:05
  is
• 8:05
  Arthur,
• 8:06
  and
• 8:06
  I.
• 8:07
  When
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  news
• 8:08
  first
• 8:08
  broke
• 8:09
  about
• 8:09
  Marvin
• 8:09
  back
• 8:10
  in
• 8:10
  April,
• 8:11
  I
• 8:11
  had
• 8:11
  been
• 8:11
  asked
• 8:12
  by
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  few
• 8:12
  people
• 8:13
  to
• 8:13
  run,
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  I
• 8:13
  was
• 8:14
  like,
• 8:14
  y'all
• 8:14
  know
• 8:14
  I'm
• 8:14
  pregnant,
• 8:15
  right?
• 8:17
  But
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  thought
• 8:17
  about
• 8:18
  it,
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  I
• 8:18
  was
• 8:18
  like,
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  know
• 8:18
  what?
• 8:18
  I
• 8:19
  would
• 8:19
  regret
• 8:19
  it
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  rest
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  my
• 8:19
  life
• 8:20
  if
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  didn't
• 8:20
  try.
• 8:21
  So
• 8:21
  I
• 8:22
  had
• 8:22
  a
• 8:22
  lot
• 8:22
  of
• 8:22
  conversations
• 8:23
  with
• 8:23
  my
• 8:23
  husband.
• 8:24
  We
• 8:24
  made
• 8:24
  sure
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  we
• 8:25
  had
• 8:25
  a
• 8:25
  better
• 8:25
  social
• 8:26
  support
• 8:26
  infrastructure
• 8:27
  this
• 8:27
  time.
• 8:28
  First
• 8:28
  time
• 8:28
  I
• 8:28
  ran,
• 8:29
  it
• 8:29
  was
• 8:29
  just
• 8:29
  kind
• 8:29
  of,
• 8:29
  like,
• 8:30
  chaotic
• 8:30
  all
• 8:30
  the
• 8:31
  time.
• 8:31
  And,
• 8:32
  you
• 8:32
  know,
• 8:32
  after
• 8:33
  putting
• 8:33
  certain
• 8:33
  things
• 8:33
  in
• 8:34
  place,
• 8:35
  coming
• 8:35
  up
• 8:36
  with
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  loose
• 8:36
  kind
• 8:36
  of
• 8:37
  schedule,
• 8:37
  we
• 8:37
  were
• 8:37
  like,
• 8:37
  okay,
• 8:38
  I
• 8:38
  guess
• 8:38
  this
• 8:38
  is
• 8:39
  going
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  happen.
• 8:40
  So
• 8:40
  things
• 8:41
  kind
• 8:41
  of
• 8:41
  fell
• 8:41
  into
• 8:41
  place,
• 8:43
  but
• 8:43
  it
• 8:43
  was
• 8:44
  definitely
• 8:44
  a
• 8:45
  family
• 8:45
  decision
• 8:46
  to
• 8:46
  do
• 8:46
  this.
• 8:47
  Yeah,
• 8:47
  I
• 8:47
  couldn't
• 8:47
  do
• 8:47
  this
• 8:48
  by
• 8:48
  myself.
• 8:48
  My
• 8:48
  husband
• 8:49
  has
• 8:49
  gone
• 8:50
  above
• 8:50
  and
• 8:50
  beyond
• 8:50
  to
• 8:51
  support
• 8:51
  me
• 8:51
  throughout
• 8:51
  my
• 8:52
  campaign.
• 8:52
  Yeah,
• 8:53
  I'd
• 8:54
  have
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  imagine
• 8:55
  that's
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  lot.
• 8:56
  He's
• 8:56
  home
• 8:56
  with
• 8:56
  the
• 8:57
  three
• 8:57
  little
• 8:57
  ones
• 8:58
  by
• 8:58
  himself
• 8:59
  often
• 8:59
  in
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  evenings
• 9:00
  while
• 9:00
  I'm
• 9:00
  out
• 9:00
  going
• 9:01
  to
• 9:01
  neighborhood
• 9:01
  meetings
• 9:02
  and
• 9:02
  talking
• 9:02
  to
• 9:02
  people.
• 9:03
  How
• 9:03
  is.
• 9:04
  Are
• 9:04
  we.
• 9:04
  Are
• 9:05
  we
• 9:05
  already
• 9:05
  doing
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  canvassing
• 9:06
  and,
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  know,
• 9:08
  how
• 9:08
  many,
• 9:09
  how
• 9:09
  many
• 9:10
  houses?
• 9:10
  So
• 9:11
  canvassing
• 9:12
  is
• 9:12
  unique
• 9:13
  now
• 9:13
  because
• 9:13
  when
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  canvassed
• 9:14
  for
• 9:15
  BERNIE
• 9:16
  Back
• 9:16
  in
• 9:16
  2016,
• 9:18
  I
• 9:18
  didn't
• 9:19
  have
• 9:19
  a
• 9:20
  list
• 9:20
  of
• 9:20
  the,
• 9:21
  of
• 9:21
  the
• 9:22
  friendly
• 9:22
  houses
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  go
• 9:23
  to.
• 9:24
  I
• 9:25
  literally
• 9:25
  was
• 9:25
  just
• 9:26
  told
• 9:26
  to
• 9:26
  walk
• 9:26
  a
• 9:26
  neighborhood
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  was.
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  was
• 9:28
  given
• 9:28
  a
• 9:28
  list
• 9:29
  of,
• 9:29
  you
• 9:29
  know,
• 9:30
  Democrats
• 9:30
  and
• 9:31
  Republicans.
• 9:31
  But
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  didn't
• 9:32
  go
• 9:32
  to
• 9:33
  old
• 9:33
  man
• 9:33
  Cratchit's
• 9:34
  house.
• 9:34
  He's
• 9:34
  the
• 9:34
  friendliest
• 9:35
  old
• 9:35
  man
• 9:36
  I
• 9:37
  had.
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  had
• 9:37
  enough
• 9:38
  conversations
• 9:38
  with
• 9:38
  people
• 9:39
  that
• 9:40
  were
• 9:40
  like,
• 9:40
  well,
• 9:40
  I
• 9:40
  like
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  Bernie
• 9:41
  Sanders,
• 9:42
  but,
• 9:42
  you
• 9:42
  know,
• 9:42
  he's
• 9:43
  no
• 9:43
  Donald
• 9:43
  Trump.
• 9:43
  And
• 9:44
  I
• 9:44
  was
• 9:44
  like,
• 9:44
  well,
• 9:44
  yeah,
• 9:44
  it's
• 9:45
  the
• 9:45
  difference.
• 9:46
  Obviously,
• 9:47
  that's
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  one
• 9:47
  you
• 9:48
  want
• 9:48
  to.
• 9:49
  Yeah,
• 9:49
  I
• 9:49
  know.
• 9:50
  One
• 9:50
  has
• 9:50
  cohesive
• 9:50
  thoughts
• 9:51
  and
• 9:51
  one
• 9:51
  doesn't.
• 9:53
  Canvassing
• 9:54
  this
• 9:54
  year
• 9:55
  was
• 9:55
  a.
• 9:56
  With.
• 9:57
  With
• 9:57
  Matt
• 9:57
  was,
• 9:58
  Was
• 9:59
  good.
• 9:59
  We,
• 10:00
  We.
• 10:00
  We
• 10:00
  hit
• 10:00
  a
• 10:01
  lot
• 10:01
  of
• 10:01
  houses
• 10:01
  and
• 10:02
  we
• 10:02
  were
• 10:02
  getting
• 10:02
  in
• 10:02
  about,
• 10:03
  you
• 10:03
  know,
• 10:03
  15,
• 10:04
  20,000
• 10:05
  steps
• 10:05
  every.
• 10:06
  Every
• 10:06
  time
• 10:06
  we'd
• 10:06
  go
• 10:07
  out.
• 10:07
  Wow.
• 10:08
  But
• 10:09
  it's.
• 10:10
  I,
• 10:11
  it's
• 10:11
  different
• 10:12
  now
• 10:12
  because,
• 10:12
  you
• 10:13
  know,
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  list
• 10:13
  that
• 10:13
  you.
• 10:14
  That
• 10:14
  I
• 10:14
  got
• 10:15
  to
• 10:16
  canvas
• 10:16
  was
• 10:17
  all
• 10:18
  friendly
• 10:18
  houses.
• 10:19
  So
• 10:19
  I
• 10:19
  knew
• 10:20
  that
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  likelihood
• 10:21
  is
• 10:21
  I
• 10:21
  was
• 10:21
  knocking
• 10:22
  on
• 10:22
  the
• 10:22
  door
• 10:22
  of
• 10:22
  someone
• 10:23
  that
• 10:23
  I
• 10:23
  was
• 10:23
  just
• 10:23
  having
• 10:24
  to
• 10:24
  convince
• 10:24
  to
• 10:24
  come
• 10:24
  out
• 10:24
  and
• 10:25
  vote
• 10:25
  in
• 10:25
  the
• 10:26
  election.
• 10:26
  But
• 10:27
  I
• 10:27
  guess
• 10:27
  for
• 10:28
  a
• 10:28
  special
• 10:28
  election,
• 10:28
  it's
• 10:29
  different.
• 10:29
  It's
• 10:29
  not
• 10:30
  just
• 10:31
  telling
• 10:31
  them.
• 10:32
  It's
• 10:32
  not
• 10:32
  just
• 10:33
  introducing
• 10:33
  yourself,
• 10:33
  but
• 10:34
  it's
• 10:34
  also
• 10:35
  making
• 10:36
  sure
• 10:36
  they
• 10:36
  understand
• 10:37
  that
• 10:37
  January
• 10:37
  21st
• 10:38
  is
• 10:38
  the
• 10:38
  election.
• 10:39
  This
• 10:40
  is
• 10:40
  a
• 10:40
  special
• 10:40
  election.
• 10:42
  There's
• 10:42
  only
• 10:42
  going
• 10:43
  to
• 10:43
  be,
• 10:43
  I
• 10:43
  assume,
• 10:44
  you
• 10:44
  and
• 10:45
  somebody
• 10:45
  else.
• 10:46
  That's
• 10:46
  it
• 10:46
  on
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  ballot.
• 10:47
  Right.
• 10:48
  There's
• 10:49
  three
• 10:49
  total
• 10:49
  people
• 10:49
  who
• 10:50
  have,
• 10:50
  including
• 10:51
  myself.
• 10:51
  Okay.
• 10:53
  This
• 10:54
  is,
• 10:55
  I
• 10:56
  guess,
• 10:56
  special
• 10:56
  elections
• 10:57
  are
• 10:57
  interesting.
• 10:58
  There
• 10:58
  has
• 10:58
  not
• 10:59
  been
• 10:59
  a
• 10:59
  special
• 10:59
  election
• 11:00
  announced
• 11:00
  because
• 11:01
  for
• 11:02
  my
• 11:02
  district,
• 11:02
  RJ
• 11:03
  May
• 11:03
  has
• 11:04
  not
• 11:04
  resigned.
• 11:06
  His
• 11:06
  assumption,
• 11:07
  I'm
• 11:07
  guessing
• 11:08
  the
• 11:09
  assumption
• 11:09
  for
• 11:09
  him
• 11:10
  is
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  he
• 11:10
  is
• 11:11
  likely
• 11:11
  going
• 11:12
  to
• 11:12
  be
• 11:13
  removed.
• 11:15
  Okay.
• 11:15
  I'm
• 11:16
  not
• 11:16
  sure
• 11:16
  exactly
• 11:17
  how
• 11:17
  that
• 11:17
  happens,
• 11:18
  especially
• 11:18
  with
• 11:18
  a
• 11:18
  Republican
• 11:19
  called
• 11:19
  controlled
• 11:20
  House
• 11:21
  and
• 11:21
  Senate.
• 11:22
  Like,
• 11:22
  I
• 11:22
  don't
• 11:22
  understand
• 11:23
  why
• 11:23
  his
• 11:23
  assumption
• 11:24
  is
• 11:24
  he'd
• 11:24
  be
• 11:24
  removed
• 11:25
  unless
• 11:26
  he
• 11:26
  assumes
• 11:26
  he's
• 11:26
  going
• 11:26
  to
• 11:26
  be
• 11:27
  arrested
• 11:27
  like
• 11:28
  that.
• 11:28
  That
• 11:28
  I
• 11:28
  could
• 11:28
  see.
• 11:30
  So.
• 11:30
  Well,
• 11:30
  anyway,
• 11:31
  enough
• 11:31
  about
• 11:31
  him
• 11:33
  as
• 11:34
  a
• 11:34
  third
• 11:34
  vice
• 11:35
  chair
• 11:35
  of
• 11:35
  South
• 11:35
  Carolina
• 11:35
  Democratic
• 11:36
  Party,
• 11:37
  how
• 11:38
  has
• 11:38
  that
• 11:39
  experience
• 11:39
  Prepared
• 11:40
  you
• 11:40
  for
• 11:40
  now
• 11:41
  running
• 11:41
  for
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  House?
• 11:42
  Well,
• 11:42
  I
• 11:42
  treated
• 11:43
  being
• 11:43
  third
• 11:43
  vice
• 11:43
  chair
• 11:44
  like
• 11:44
  I
• 11:44
  was
• 11:44
  a
• 11:44
  candidate
• 11:45
  still.
• 11:46
  I
• 11:47
  wanted
• 11:47
  to
• 11:47
  be
• 11:47
  visible
• 11:48
  because
• 11:48
  that
• 11:48
  was
• 11:48
  one
• 11:48
  of
• 11:48
  the
• 11:49
  biggest
• 11:49
  things
• 11:49
  that
• 11:49
  I
• 11:49
  heard
• 11:50
  complaints
• 11:51
  about
• 11:51
  previous
• 11:51
  third
• 11:52
  vice
• 11:52
  chairs.
• 11:52
  People
• 11:52
  were
• 11:53
  like,
• 11:53
  we
• 11:53
  have
• 11:53
  a
• 11:53
  third
• 11:53
  vice
• 11:54
  chair.
• 11:54
  That's
• 11:54
  how
• 11:54
  bad
• 11:55
  it
• 11:55
  was.
• 11:55
  Wow.
• 11:56
  So
• 11:56
  I
• 11:57
  really
• 11:57
  had
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  recreate
• 11:58
  it
• 11:58
  and
• 11:58
  make
• 11:58
  it
• 11:59
  my
• 11:59
  own.
• 12:00
  And
• 12:00
  I
• 12:01
  really
• 12:01
  wanted
• 12:01
  to
• 12:02
  be
• 12:02
  more
• 12:02
  engaged
• 12:03
  with
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  leadership.
• 12:04
  When
• 12:04
  I
• 12:04
  say
• 12:04
  leadership,
• 12:05
  I'm
• 12:05
  specifically
• 12:06
  talking
• 12:06
  about
• 12:06
  Crystal
• 12:07
  and
• 12:08
  Jay
• 12:08
  Parmley,
• 12:08
  who's
• 12:09
  the
• 12:09
  executive
• 12:09
  director
• 12:09
  of
• 12:10
  scdp.
• 12:11
  So
• 12:11
  Jay's
• 12:12
  fantastic.
• 12:12
  Yeah,
• 12:13
  he
• 12:13
  is
• 12:13
  fantastic.
• 12:14
  So
• 12:14
  I
• 12:14
  made
• 12:14
  sure
• 12:14
  that
• 12:15
  I
• 12:15
  was
• 12:15
  always
• 12:15
  in
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  emails.
• 12:17
  The
• 12:17
  four
• 12:18
  of
• 12:18
  us,
• 12:19
  the
• 12:19
  other
• 12:20
  vice
• 12:20
  chairs,
• 12:20
  N
• 12:21
  plus
• 12:21
  J.
• 12:21
  We
• 12:22
  made
• 12:22
  an
• 12:22
  agreement
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  have,
• 12:23
  like,
• 12:24
  bi
• 12:24
  weekly
• 12:24
  meetings.
• 12:25
  This
• 12:25
  was
• 12:25
  at
• 12:25
  the
• 12:25
  time
• 12:25
  when
• 12:26
  we
• 12:26
  were,
• 12:26
  like,
• 12:26
  first
• 12:26
  in
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  nation
• 12:27
  and
• 12:27
  all
• 12:27
  these
• 12:27
  things
• 12:27
  were
• 12:28
  happening,
• 12:29
  and
• 12:30
  I
• 12:31
  got
• 12:31
  to
• 12:31
  travel
• 12:31
  the
• 12:31
  state.
• 12:32
  Now,
• 12:32
  this
• 12:32
  was
• 12:32
  before
• 12:32
  I
• 12:32
  was
• 12:33
  pregnant,
• 12:33
  obviously.
• 12:34
  I
• 12:34
  had
• 12:34
  a
• 12:34
  lot
• 12:35
  more
• 12:35
  energy
• 12:36
  to
• 12:36
  go
• 12:36
  to
• 12:36
  all
• 12:37
  these
• 12:37
  places
• 12:37
  and
• 12:38
  time,
• 12:39
  and
• 12:39
  so
• 12:39
  it
• 12:40
  was
• 12:40
  fun.
• 12:40
  I
• 12:40
  got
• 12:40
  to
• 12:40
  engage
• 12:41
  with
• 12:41
  a
• 12:41
  lot
• 12:41
  of
• 12:41
  young
• 12:41
  people.
• 12:42
  I
• 12:42
  got
• 12:42
  to
• 12:42
  work
• 12:42
  with
• 12:43
  the
• 12:43
  High
• 12:43
  School
• 12:43
  Democrats
• 12:44
  of
• 12:44
  South
• 12:44
  Carolina,
• 12:44
  which
• 12:45
  was
• 12:45
  great.
• 12:46
  I
• 12:46
  worked
• 12:46
  a
• 12:46
  little
• 12:47
  bit
• 12:47
  with
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  Young
• 12:48

• 12:49
  of
• 12:49
  South
• 12:49
  Carolina
• 12:49
  as
• 12:50
  well.
• 12:50
  And
• 12:51
  I
• 12:51
  had
• 12:51
  an
• 12:51
  opportunity
• 12:52
  to
• 12:52
  go
• 12:52
  to
• 12:52
  Las
• 12:52
  Vegas
• 12:53
  for

• 12:53
  Democrats
• 12:54
  of
• 12:54
  America
• 12:56
  conference,
• 12:56
  which
• 12:56
  was
• 12:57
  really
• 12:57
  cool,
• 12:57
  because
• 12:57
  then
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  got
• 12:58
  to
• 12:58
  meet
• 12:58
  people
• 12:58
  from
• 12:59
  all
• 12:59
  over
• 12:59
  the
• 12:59
  country,
• 13:00
  and
• 13:01
  I
• 13:01
  still
• 13:02
  keep
• 13:02
  in
• 13:02
  touch
• 13:02
  with
• 13:02
  those
• 13:02
  people.
• 13:03
  And,
• 13:03
  like,
• 13:03
  I
• 13:03
  have
• 13:04
  a
• 13:04
  way
• 13:04
  bigger
• 13:04
  network
• 13:05
  than
• 13:05
  when
• 13:05
  I
• 13:05
  started,
• 13:06
  and
• 13:06
  it's
• 13:06
  been
• 13:06
  really
• 13:07
  nice
• 13:07
  to
• 13:08
  connect
• 13:08
  with
• 13:08
  them,
• 13:08
  especially
• 13:09
  now
• 13:09
  as
• 13:09
  I'm
• 13:09
  running.
• 13:10
  I
• 13:11
  had
• 13:11
  a
• 13:11
  feeling
• 13:11
  I
• 13:11
  would
• 13:11
  run
• 13:12
  again.
• 13:13
  I'm
• 13:14
  House
• 13:14
  Slytherin.
• 13:15
  I'm
• 13:15
  a
• 13:15
  really
• 13:15
  big
• 13:15
  Harry
• 13:15
  Potter
• 13:16
  fan,
• 13:16
  so
• 13:17
  I'm
• 13:17
  extremely
• 13:17
  ambitious.
• 13:18
  So
• 13:18
  I
• 13:18
  made
• 13:18
  sure
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  keep
• 13:19
  everyone's
• 13:20
  phone
• 13:20
  number
• 13:21
  for
• 13:21
  this
• 13:21
  moment.
• 13:22
  And
• 13:22
  you
• 13:23
  better
• 13:23
  believe
• 13:23
  I
• 13:24
  called
• 13:24
  through
• 13:24
  everybody
• 13:25
  like,
• 13:25
  hey,
• 13:25
  I'm
• 13:26
  running.
• 13:26
  You
• 13:26
  said
• 13:26
  you'd
• 13:26
  support
• 13:27
  me
• 13:27
  if
• 13:27
  I
• 13:27
  run
• 13:27
  again.
• 13:28
  Cut
• 13:28
  me
• 13:28
  a
• 13:28
  check.
• 13:30
  $13.05.
• 13:34
  The
• 13:34
  challenge
• 13:34
  was
• 13:35
  the
• 13:35
  time
• 13:35
  of
• 13:35
  year.
• 13:36
  The
• 13:36
  special
• 13:36
  election,
• 13:36
  unfortunately,
• 13:37
  is
• 13:37
  around
• 13:37
  Christmas
• 13:38
  time,
• 13:39
  and
• 13:39
  morale
• 13:39
  is
• 13:40
  low
• 13:40
  because
• 13:40
  of
• 13:41
  the
• 13:41
  big
• 13:41
  disappointment
• 13:43
  for
• 13:43
  Democrats
• 13:44
  in
• 13:44
  South
• 13:44
  Carolina
• 13:45
  and
• 13:45
  nationally.
• 13:46
  Whatever
• 13:47
  are
• 13:47
  you
• 13:47
  talking
• 13:48
  about?
• 13:49
  Oh,
• 13:49
  there
• 13:49
  was
• 13:49
  this
• 13:49
  little
• 13:50
  thing
• 13:50
  that
• 13:50
  happened
• 13:50
  November
• 13:51
  6th.
• 13:53
  Yeah.
• 13:54
  Pretty
• 13:54
  devastating.
• 13:55
  I'm
• 13:56
  going
• 13:56
  to
• 13:56
  actually
• 13:56
  show
• 13:57
  how
• 13:57
  easy
• 13:57
  it
• 13:58
  is
• 13:59
  to
• 13:59
  make
• 13:59
  a
• 13:59
  donation
• 14:00
  to
• 14:00
  your
• 14:00
  campaign.
• 14:01
  I'm
• 14:01
  not
• 14:01
  going
• 14:01
  to
• 14:01
  put
• 14:01
  it
• 14:01
  up
• 14:02
  on
• 14:02
  the
• 14:02
  screen
• 14:02
  because
• 14:02
  I
• 14:02
  don't
• 14:02
  want
• 14:03
  my
• 14:03
  credit
• 14:03
  card,
• 14:03
  but
• 14:05
  it's
• 14:05
  very
• 14:05
  simple.
• 14:06
  You
• 14:06
  go
• 14:06
  to
• 14:06
  Michelle
• 14:06
  Barrett's,
• 14:07
  like,
• 14:07
  I.
• 14:07
  Don'T
• 14:07
  want
• 14:07
  to
• 14:07
  show
• 14:07
  you
• 14:08
  the
• 14:08
  amount.
• 14:10
  And
• 14:11
  I
• 14:11
  don't
• 14:11
  want
• 14:11
  Michelle
• 14:11
  to
• 14:12
  react
• 14:12
  when
• 14:13
  she
• 14:13
  sees
• 14:13
  the
• 14:13
  amount,
• 14:15
  she's
• 14:16
  like.
• 14:16
  How
• 14:16
  did
• 14:16
  you
• 14:16
  do?
• 14:16
  Negative.
• 14:17
  Now
• 14:17
  I
• 14:17
  owe
• 14:17
  you.
• 14:17
  What
• 14:18
  is
• 14:18
  this?
• 14:19
  But
• 14:20
  it's
• 14:20
  simple.
• 14:21
  You
• 14:21
  go
• 14:21
  to
• 14:21
  michelle4sc.com
• 14:24
  and
• 14:25
  the
• 14:25
  link
• 14:25
  is
• 14:26
  right
• 14:26
  there
• 14:26
  on
• 14:26
  the
• 14:27
  page
• 14:27
  and
• 14:28
  it's
• 14:28
  through
• 14:28
  at
• 14:28
  blue.
• 14:30
  It's
• 14:31
  not
• 14:31
  going
• 14:31
  very
• 14:31
  quickly
• 14:31
  on
• 14:32
  my
• 14:32
  phone.
• 14:32
  Putting
• 14:32
  it
• 14:32
  in
• 14:33
  the
• 14:33
  live
• 14:33
  on
• 14:33
  TikTok.
• 14:34
  There
• 14:35
  you
• 14:35
  go.
• 14:36
  So
• 14:36
  michelle4sc.com
• 14:39
  when
• 14:39
  you
• 14:39
  pull
• 14:40
  up
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  site,
• 14:41
  it's
• 14:41
  very
• 14:42
  easy
• 14:42
  to
• 14:42
  make
• 14:42
  a
• 14:42
  donation
• 14:42
  to
• 14:43
  the
• 14:43
  campaign.
• 14:43
  And
• 14:44
  I
• 14:44
  guess
• 14:46
  because,
• 14:46
  you
• 14:46
  know,
• 14:47
  this
• 14:47
  isn't
• 14:47
  your
• 14:47
  first
• 14:47
  time
• 14:47
  running
• 14:48
  as
• 14:48
  a
• 14:48
  candidate,
• 14:48
  but
• 14:49
  this
• 14:49
  is
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  first
• 14:49
  time.
• 14:50
  I'm
• 14:51
  assuming
• 14:51
  when
• 14:51
  you
• 14:51
  ran
• 14:52
  as
• 14:52
  vice
• 14:52
  chair,
• 14:53
  did
• 14:53
  that
• 14:53
  involve
• 14:54
  having
• 14:54
  to
• 14:54
  take
• 14:54
  donations
• 14:55
  and
• 14:55
  things?
• 14:56
  A
• 14:57
  little
• 14:57
  bit.
• 14:57
  I
• 14:58
  didn't
• 14:58
  have
• 14:58
  an
• 14:58
  ActBlue
• 14:59
  then.
• 14:59
  I
• 15:00
  use
• 15:00
  mostly
• 15:00
  my
• 15:00
  own
• 15:01
  money.
• 15:01
  Some
• 15:02
  people,
• 15:02
  when
• 15:02
  they
• 15:02
  run
• 15:02
  for
• 15:03
  state
• 15:03
  positions,
• 15:04
  they
• 15:05
  raise
• 15:05
  a
• 15:06
  ton
• 15:06
  of
• 15:06
  money.
• 15:06
  And
• 15:07
  I
• 15:07
  guess
• 15:07
  when
• 15:07
  you're
• 15:07
  running
• 15:07
  for
• 15:08
  chair,
• 15:08
  that
• 15:08
  takes
• 15:08
  a
• 15:08
  lot
• 15:08
  of
• 15:09
  money
• 15:09
  because
• 15:09
  just
• 15:09
  think
• 15:09
  of
• 15:10
  the
• 15:10
  gas
• 15:10
  traveling.
• 15:11
  Oh,
• 15:11
  yeah.
• 15:11
  From
• 15:11
  Greenville
• 15:12
  to
• 15:12
  Charles
• 15:12
  Charleston
• 15:13
  to
• 15:13
  Aiken
• 15:14
  to
• 15:14
  the
• 15:14
  pd.
• 15:15
  Like,
• 15:15
  it's
• 15:15
  a
• 15:15
  lot.
• 15:16
  I
• 15:17
  spent
• 15:17
  a
• 15:17
  lot
• 15:17
  of
• 15:17
  money
• 15:17
  on
• 15:18
  gas.
• 15:18
  But
• 15:19
  again,
• 15:19
  that
• 15:19
  was
• 15:20
  a.
• 15:20
  Another
• 15:20
  compromise
• 15:21
  with
• 15:21
  my
• 15:22
  husband
• 15:22
  of
• 15:22
  like,
• 15:22
  look,
• 15:22
  this
• 15:23
  is
• 15:23
  what
• 15:23
  I
• 15:23
  want
• 15:23
  to
• 15:23
  do.
• 15:24
  Like,
• 15:25
  can
• 15:25
  you
• 15:25
  give
• 15:25
  me
• 15:25
  the
• 15:26
  gas.
• 15:26
  Money
• 15:26
  so
• 15:26
  I
• 15:26
  can
• 15:27
  go
• 15:27
  please
• 15:29
  your
• 15:29
  babies?
• 15:30
  Right.
• 15:31
  You're
• 15:31
  gonna.
• 15:31
  You're
• 15:31
  gonna
• 15:31
  drive
• 15:31
  a
• 15:32
  Chevy
• 15:32
  Volt.
• 15:33
  That's
• 15:33
  the
• 15:33
  first
• 15:33
  thing.
• 15:35
  So
• 15:35
  I
• 15:35
  did
• 15:35
  have
• 15:35
  to
• 15:36
  make
• 15:36
  some
• 15:36
  materials,
• 15:37
  especially
• 15:38
  on
• 15:38
  election
• 15:39
  day.
• 15:40
  And
• 15:40
  that's
• 15:40
  the
• 15:40
  big
• 15:41
  convention
• 15:41
  we
• 15:41
  had
• 15:42
  in
• 15:42
  Columbia.
• 15:43
  I
• 15:43
  had
• 15:43
  some
• 15:43
  stickers
• 15:44
  and
• 15:44
  some
• 15:44
  postcards,
• 15:45
  but
• 15:46
  mainly
• 15:46
  it
• 15:46
  was
• 15:46
  social
• 15:46
  media
• 15:47
  was
• 15:47
  the
• 15:47
  biggest
• 15:47
  tool.
• 15:48
  And
• 15:48
  then
• 15:48
  just
• 15:49
  going
• 15:49
  to
• 15:49
  all
• 15:49
  the
• 15:50
  Democratic
• 15:50
  county
• 15:51
  meetings
• 15:51
  and
• 15:52
  participating
• 15:53
  in
• 15:53
  all
• 15:53
  the
• 15:53
  forums
• 15:54
  and
• 15:55
  just,
• 15:55
  you
• 15:55
  know,
• 15:55
  bringing
• 15:56
  my
• 15:56
  A
• 15:56
  game.
• 15:57
  And
• 15:57
  I'm
• 15:57
  very
• 15:58
  charismatic.
• 15:58
  So
• 15:59
  it
• 15:59
  wasn't
• 15:59
  like
• 16:00
  it
• 16:00
  was
• 16:00
  that
• 16:00
  hard.
• 16:04
  And
• 16:04
  I
• 16:04
  have
• 16:04
  great
• 16:05
  ideas.
• 16:05
  I
• 16:05
  have
• 16:05
  great
• 16:06
  ideas,
• 16:06
  too.
• 16:07
  Wait
• 16:07
  till
• 16:07
  they
• 16:08
  find
• 16:08
  out
• 16:08
  you
• 16:08
  play
• 16:08
  D
• 16:08
  and
• 16:09
  D.
• 16:09
  That's.
• 16:10
  That's
• 16:10
  going
• 16:10
  to
• 16:10
  be
• 16:10
  the
• 16:11
  big
• 16:11
  kicker.
• 16:11
  D
• 16:11
  and
• 16:11
  D
• 16:12
  is
• 16:12
  big
• 16:12
  in
• 16:12
  Charleston.
• 16:14
  Yeah,
• 16:15
  that
• 16:15
  should,
• 16:15
  that
• 16:15
  should
• 16:16
  be
• 16:16
  how
• 16:16
  a
• 16:16
  lot
• 16:16
  of
• 16:16
  stuff
• 16:16
  is
• 16:17
  run.
• 16:17
  So
• 16:17
  it's
• 16:17
  like
• 16:17
  a
• 16:18
  roll
• 16:18
  for
• 16:18
  initiative.
• 16:18
  Lindsey
• 16:19
  Graham.
• 16:20
  Oh,
• 16:21
  yeah,
• 16:21
  you're.
• 16:22
  Yeah.
• 16:23
  If,
• 16:24
  if,
• 16:25
  if
• 16:25
  South
• 16:25
  Carolina.
• 16:26
  If
• 16:26
  South
• 16:26
  Carolina's
• 16:27
  legislature
• 16:27
  were
• 16:28
  to
• 16:28
  adopt
• 16:28
  the.
• 16:29
  The
• 16:29
  format
• 16:30
  of
• 16:30
  Dungeons
• 16:30
  and
• 16:30
  Dragons
• 16:31
  where
• 16:31
  everyone
• 16:31
  had
• 16:32
  to
• 16:32
  roll
• 16:32
  for
• 16:32
  initiative.
• 16:33
  Oh,
• 16:34
  I
• 16:34
  would
• 16:34
  be
• 16:34
  absolutely
• 16:35
  in
• 16:35
  for
• 16:35
  that.
• 16:37
  Filibustering
• 16:37
  would
• 16:38
  get
• 16:38
  weird.
• 16:38
  Yeah.
• 16:39
  We
• 16:39
  could
• 16:40
  televise
• 16:40
  it.
• 16:40
  We
• 16:40
  could
• 16:41
  sell
• 16:41
  pay
• 16:41
  per
• 16:41
  view
• 16:41
  tickets,
• 16:42
  raise
• 16:42
  tax
• 16:42
  money
• 16:43
  through
• 16:43
  it.
• 16:44
  They're
• 16:44
  not
• 16:44
  going
• 16:44
  to
• 16:44
  give
• 16:45
  us.
• 16:45
  If.
• 16:45
  They're
• 16:45
  not
• 16:45
  going
• 16:45
  to
• 16:46
  give
• 16:46
  us
• 16:46
  marijuana.
• 16:47
  If
• 16:47
  You're
• 16:47
  a
• 16:48
  Republican,
• 16:48
  you
• 16:48
  don't
• 16:48
  have
• 16:48
  inspiration.
• 16:51
  You'Re
• 16:52
  automatically
• 16:52
  dropped
• 16:53
  as
• 16:53
  inspiration.
• 16:53
  That's
• 16:54
  great.
• 16:55
  So
• 16:57
  what
• 16:57
  are
• 16:57
  some
• 16:57
  of
• 16:58
  the
• 16:58
  special.
• 16:58
  With
• 16:59
  the
• 16:59
  special
• 16:59
  election,
• 16:59
  of
• 16:59
  course,
• 17:00
  it
• 17:00
  can
• 17:00
  present
• 17:00
  these
• 17:01
  unique
• 17:01
  challenges.
• 17:02
  How
• 17:02
  has
• 17:02
  the
• 17:02
  campaign,
• 17:03
  what
• 17:03
  have
• 17:03
  you
• 17:04
  experienced
• 17:04
  so
• 17:04
  far
• 17:05
  as
• 17:06
  challenges?
• 17:08
  Well,
• 17:08
  this
• 17:08
  is
• 17:08
  my
• 17:09
  second
• 17:09
  time
• 17:10
  technically
• 17:10
  running
• 17:10
  in
• 17:10
  a
• 17:10
  primary
• 17:11
  specifically.
• 17:12
  So
• 17:12
  if
• 17:12
  you
• 17:12
  want
• 17:12
  to
• 17:13
  count
• 17:13
  running
• 17:13
  for
• 17:13
  office
• 17:14
  for
• 17:14
  SCDP
• 17:15
  vice
• 17:15
  chair,
• 17:16
  I
• 17:16
  had
• 17:16
  run
• 17:16
  against
• 17:17
  two
• 17:17
  other
• 17:17
  people.
• 17:18
  And
• 17:18
  the
• 17:19
  challenge
• 17:19
  is,
• 17:19
  you
• 17:19
  know,
• 17:20
  people
• 17:20
  know
• 17:20
  people,
• 17:21
  people
• 17:21
  talk,
• 17:21
  people
• 17:22
  pick
• 17:22
  sides.
• 17:23
  And
• 17:23
  so
• 17:23
  I've,
• 17:23
  as
• 17:24
  you
• 17:24
  can
• 17:25
  assume,
• 17:25
  I've
• 17:25
  made
• 17:25
  a
• 17:26
  lot
• 17:26
  of
• 17:26
  friendships,
• 17:26
  especially
• 17:27
  in
• 17:27
  Charleston,
• 17:27
  where
• 17:27
  I
• 17:27
  live,
• 17:28
  North
• 17:29
  Charleston,
• 17:29
  as
• 17:29
  well,
• 17:29
  with
• 17:30
  people
• 17:30
  in
• 17:30
  the
• 17:31
  Democratic
• 17:31
  Party.
• 17:32
  And
• 17:33
  one
• 17:33
  of
• 17:33
  the
• 17:33
  biggest
• 17:33
  challenges
• 17:34
  for
• 17:34
  me
• 17:34
  is
• 17:34
  just,
• 17:35
  you
• 17:35
  know,
• 17:36
  some
• 17:36
  people
• 17:37
  that
• 17:37
  you
• 17:37
  think
• 17:37
  are
• 17:38
  going
• 17:38
  to
• 17:38
  be
• 17:39
  supporters
• 17:39
  are
• 17:39
  not
• 17:40
  just
• 17:40
  because
• 17:40
  they've
• 17:40
  known
• 17:41
  someone
• 17:41
  else
• 17:41
  longer
• 17:42
  or
• 17:42
  for
• 17:42
  what
• 17:42
  other
• 17:43
  reasons
• 17:44
  they
• 17:44
  have.
• 17:45
  It
• 17:45
  can
• 17:45
  be
• 17:45
  kind
• 17:45
  of
• 17:45
  gut
• 17:46
  wrenching.
• 17:46
  It
• 17:47
  can,
• 17:47
  it
• 17:47
  can
• 17:48
  hurt
• 17:48
  a
• 17:48
  little
• 17:48
  bit.
• 17:48
  But
• 17:49
  it's
• 17:49
  only
• 17:50
  made
• 17:50
  me
• 17:50
  stronger.
• 17:51
  And
• 17:51
  I'm
• 17:51
  just
• 17:51
  like,
• 17:52
  okay.
• 17:52
  Like,
• 17:52
  that's
• 17:52
  okay.
• 17:53
  Like
• 17:53
  so
• 17:53
  and
• 17:54
  so
• 17:54
  is
• 17:54
  supporting
• 17:54
  them.
• 17:55
  But
• 17:55
  guess
• 17:55
  what?
• 17:55
  I
• 17:55
  have
• 17:56
  all
• 17:56
  these
• 17:56
  people
• 17:57
  over
• 17:57
  here.
• 17:57
  And
• 17:58
  with
• 17:58
  my
• 17:58
  experience
• 17:59
  with
• 17:59
  Planned
• 17:59
  Parenthood,
• 18:00
  I
• 18:00
  was
• 18:00
  a
• 18:00
  community
• 18:00
  organizer
• 18:01
  with
• 18:01
  them.
• 18:02
  All
• 18:03
  of
• 18:03
  those
• 18:03
  volunteers,
• 18:04
  those
• 18:04
  amazing,
• 18:04
  phenomenal
• 18:05
  volunteers,
• 18:06
  like
• 18:06
  all
• 18:06
  those
• 18:06
  people
• 18:06
  are
• 18:07
  now
• 18:07
  helping
• 18:07
  me.
• 18:08
  So,
• 18:08
  like,
• 18:09
  I
• 18:09
  have
• 18:09
  built
• 18:09
  a
• 18:09
  pretty
• 18:10
  good
• 18:10
  infrastructure,
• 18:11
  which
• 18:11
  has
• 18:11
  definitely
• 18:12
  helped
• 18:12
  me
• 18:12
  have
• 18:12
  a
• 18:13
  much
• 18:13
  stronger
• 18:13
  ground
• 18:14
  game,
• 18:15
  especially
• 18:15
  when
• 18:15
  you
• 18:15
  don't
• 18:16
  have
• 18:16
  to
• 18:16
  pay
• 18:16
  for
• 18:16
  it.
• 18:16
  That's
• 18:16
  why
• 18:16
  volunteers
• 18:17
  are
• 18:17
  always
• 18:18
  like,
• 18:18
  the
• 18:18
  best.
• 18:19
  Yeah.
• 18:20
  Because
• 18:20
  it
• 18:20
  takes
• 18:20
  a
• 18:20
  lot
• 18:20
  of
• 18:21
  money
• 18:21
  to
• 18:21
  run
• 18:21
  a
• 18:21
  good
• 18:22
  campaign.
• 18:23
  I
• 18:23
  know
• 18:23
  that
• 18:23
  people
• 18:24
  don't
• 18:24
  like
• 18:24
  talking
• 18:24
  about
• 18:25
  money,
• 18:25
  but
• 18:25
  that's
• 18:26
  just.
• 18:26
  It
• 18:26
  is
• 18:26
  what
• 18:26
  it
• 18:26
  is.
• 18:27
  Like,
• 18:27
  you
• 18:27
  have
• 18:27
  to
• 18:28
  be
• 18:28
  able
• 18:28
  to
• 18:29
  get
• 18:29
  money
• 18:29
  to
• 18:30
  get
• 18:30
  your
• 18:30
  message
• 18:30
  out
• 18:30
  there,
• 18:31
  either
• 18:31
  through
• 18:31
  mailers,
• 18:32
  social
• 18:32
  media,
• 18:33
  ads,
• 18:34
  paying
• 18:34
  canvassers,
• 18:35
  because
• 18:35
  I
• 18:35
  literally
• 18:36
  could
• 18:36
  not
• 18:36
  knock
• 18:37
  on
• 18:37
  all
• 18:37
  20,000
• 18:38
  doors
• 18:38
  in
• 18:39
  my
• 18:39
  district.
• 18:40
  But
• 18:40
  that's
• 18:40
  what
• 18:41
  it
• 18:41
  takes.
• 18:41
  And
• 18:41
  so
• 18:42
  every
• 18:42
  little
• 18:42
  bit
• 18:42
  counts.
• 18:43
  Every
• 18:44
  volunteer,
• 18:45
  every
• 18:45
  dollar
• 18:46
  raised,
• 18:46
  it
• 18:46
  all
• 18:46
  adds
• 18:47
  up
• 18:47
  in
• 18:47
  the
• 18:47
  end.
• 18:48
  And
• 18:48
  I'm
• 18:48
  really
• 18:49
  fortunate
• 18:49
  to
• 18:49
  have
• 18:49
  a
• 18:49
  really
• 18:50
  great
• 18:50
  team
• 18:50
  help
• 18:50
  me
• 18:51
  get
• 18:51
  me
• 18:51
  to
• 18:52
  a
• 18:52
  win.
• 18:52
  So
• 18:53
  the
• 18:54
  special
• 18:54
  election
• 18:54
  in
• 18:55
  January,
• 18:55
  is
• 18:56
  that
• 18:56
  the
• 18:56
  primary?
• 18:58
  Okay,
• 18:59
  so
• 19:00
  no
• 19:00
  Republicans
• 19:01
  have
• 19:01
  filed
• 19:01
  to
• 19:01
  run
• 19:02
  in
• 19:02
  House
• 19:02
  District
• 19:03
  113.
• 19:03
  So
• 19:04
  whoever
• 19:04
  wins
• 19:04
  the
• 19:05
  primary
• 19:05
  wins
• 19:05
  the
• 19:06
  seat.
• 19:06
  Essentially,
• 19:07
  we'll
• 19:07
  still
• 19:08
  have
• 19:08
  a
• 19:08
  general
• 19:08
  election
• 19:09
  on
• 19:09
  March
• 19:09
  21st,
• 19:11
  25th,
• 19:12
  but
• 19:13
  essentially
• 19:13
  whoever
• 19:14
  wins
• 19:14
  the
• 19:14
  primary
• 19:15
  wins
• 19:15
  the
• 19:15
  seat.
• 19:16
  So
• 19:16
  this
• 19:16
  is
• 19:16
  extremely
• 19:17
  competitive
• 19:18
  and
• 19:18
  it's
• 19:18
  very
• 19:19
  common
• 19:19
  in
• 19:19
  blue,
• 19:20
  safe
• 19:20
  blue
• 19:21
  districts
• 19:21
  to
• 19:21
  have
• 19:22
  super
• 19:22
  competitive
• 19:23
  primaries
• 19:23
  than
• 19:23
  the
• 19:24
  generals.
• 19:24
  Like,
• 19:24
  no
• 19:24
  one's
• 19:25
  really
• 19:25
  paying
• 19:25
  attention.
• 19:27
  So,
• 19:28
  yeah,
• 19:28
  it's
• 19:28
  been
• 19:28
  tough.
• 19:29
  I
• 19:29
  have
• 19:29
  really
• 19:29
  steep
• 19:30
  competition,
• 19:30
  but
• 19:31
  I'm
• 19:31
  a
• 19:31
  fierce
• 19:32
  competitor.
• 19:33
  I'm
• 19:33
  an
• 19:33
  emerge
• 19:33
  alum.

  This

  16

• 21:29
  most
• 21:29
  importantly,
• 21:30
  as
• 21:31
  far
• 21:31
  as
• 21:31
  being
• 21:31
  the
• 21:32
  representative
• 21:33
  for
• 21:33
  Charleston
• 21:34
  District
• 21:35
  113,
• 21:36
  what
• 21:36
  are
• 21:36
  the
• 21:37
  issues
• 21:37
  that
• 21:37
  you're
• 21:38
  finding
• 21:39
  are
• 21:39
  the
• 21:39
  most
• 21:39
  important
• 21:40
  to
• 21:40
  the
• 21:40
  voters
• 21:40
  in
• 21:41
  your
• 21:41
  district?
• 21:43
  Lack
• 21:44
  of
• 21:44
  childcare
• 21:45
  is
• 21:45
  huge.
• 21:46
  Affordable
• 21:47
  and
• 21:47
  accessible
• 21:47
  childcare
• 21:48
  is
• 21:48
  a
• 21:48
  big
• 21:48
  problem.
• 21:49
  I
• 21:49
  am
• 21:49
  a
• 21:50
  member
• 21:50
  of
• 21:50
  the
• 21:50
  Charleston
• 21:50
  Metro
• 21:51
  Chamber
• 21:51
  of
• 21:51
  Commerce,
• 21:52
  and
• 21:52
  they
• 21:52
  are
• 21:53
  finally
• 21:53
  taking
• 21:53
  on
• 21:53
  childcare
• 21:54
  as
• 21:54
  part
• 21:55
  of
• 21:55
  their
• 21:55
  campaign.
• 21:55
  They're
• 21:56
  calling
• 21:56
  it
• 21:56
  dependent
• 21:56
  care,
• 21:57
  which
• 21:57
  I
• 21:57
  think
• 21:57
  is
• 21:57
  even
• 21:57
  better
• 21:58
  because
• 21:58
  there
• 21:58
  are
• 21:58
  people
• 21:59
  who
• 21:59
  take
• 21:59
  care
• 22:00
  of
• 22:00
  elderly
• 22:00
  loved
• 22:00
  ones.
• 22:01
  Yeah.
• 22:01
  Who,
• 22:02
  who
• 22:02
  need
• 22:02
  help.
• 22:03
  I
• 22:03
  mean,
• 22:03
  elderly
• 22:04
  care
• 22:04
  is
• 22:04
  also
• 22:05
  very
• 22:05
  expensive.
• 22:06
  And
• 22:06
  then
• 22:06
  all
• 22:07
  other
• 22:07
  forms
• 22:07
  of
• 22:07
  care
• 22:08
  in
• 22:08
  between
• 22:08
  for
• 22:09
  people
• 22:09
  that
• 22:09
  might
• 22:09
  have
• 22:10
  unique
• 22:11
  disabilities
• 22:11
  as
• 22:11
  well.
• 22:12
  So
• 22:13
  I
• 22:13
  think
• 22:13
  keeping
• 22:13
  that,
• 22:14
  that
• 22:14
  jargon
• 22:15
  together
• 22:15
  when
• 22:15
  it
• 22:15
  comes
• 22:16
  to
• 22:16
  like,
• 22:16
  dependent
• 22:16
  care,
• 22:17
  flexible
• 22:17
  spending
• 22:18
  accounts
• 22:18
  and
• 22:18
  stuff,
• 22:19
  keeping
• 22:19
  that
• 22:20
  all
• 22:20
  kind
• 22:20
  of
• 22:20
  together,
• 22:21
  I
• 22:21
  think
• 22:22
  that's
• 22:22
  a
• 22:22
  good
• 22:22
  idea.
• 22:22
  Just
• 22:23
  keep
• 22:23
  it
• 22:23
  two
• 22:24
  dependents
• 22:25
  because
• 22:25
  everyone
• 22:25
  about
• 22:26
  to
• 22:26
  have
• 22:26
  twins.
• 22:26
  I
• 22:26
  don't
• 22:26
  know
• 22:26
  what
• 22:26
  the
• 22:27
  hell
• 22:27
  I'm
• 22:27
  supposed
• 22:27
  to
• 22:27
  do.
• 22:28
  So.
• 22:28
  Congratulations.
• 22:30
  Oh,
• 22:30

• 22:34
  cuss?

• 23:09
  can
• 23:09
  cuss
• 23:10
  on
• 23:10
  our
• 23:10
  podcast.
• 23:11
  Okay.
• 23:12
  Also,
• 23:13
  some
• 23:13
  of
• 23:13
  those
• 23:13
  people
• 23:13
  are
• 23:14
  really
• 23:14
  dirty.
• 23:16
  Just
• 23:16
  the
• 23:16
  implications
• 23:17
  of
• 23:17
  what
• 23:17
  they
• 23:17
  said.
• 23:18
  Yeah.
• 23:19
  I
• 23:19
  would
• 23:19
  say
• 23:20
  another
• 23:20
  issue
• 23:20
  is
• 23:21
  definitely
• 23:22
  storm
• 23:22
  water
• 23:22
  drainage.
• 23:23
  We're
• 23:23
  still
• 23:23
  the
• 23:23
  low
• 23:24
  country
• 23:24
  in
• 23:24
  North
• 23:24
  Charleston,
• 23:25
  so
• 23:25
  there's
• 23:25
  still
• 23:26
  some
• 23:26
  flooding
• 23:26
  issues
• 23:26
  there.
• 23:27
  Maintaining
• 23:28
  our
• 23:28
  roads.
• 23:29
  We're
• 23:29
  having
• 23:29
  low
• 23:30
  country
• 23:30
  rapid
• 23:30
  transit
• 23:31
  come
• 23:32
  through
• 23:32
  by
• 23:32
  like
• 23:32
  2028.
• 23:33
  And
• 23:34
  so
• 23:34
  with
• 23:34
  that
• 23:34
  is
• 23:34
  going
• 23:35
  to
• 23:35
  bring
• 23:35
  a
• 23:35
  lot
• 23:35
  of
• 23:36
  change
• 23:36
  and
• 23:36
  just
• 23:36
  making
• 23:37
  sure
• 23:37
  that
• 23:37
  we
• 23:37
  develop
• 23:38
  really
• 23:38
  smart
• 23:39
  and
• 23:39
  strategically
• 23:40
  around
• 23:40
  that
• 23:40
  and
• 23:41
  then
• 23:41
  affordable
• 23:42
  housing.
• 23:42
  That's
• 23:42
  it's
• 23:43
  my
• 23:43
  main
• 23:44
  thing,
• 23:44
  affordable
• 23:44
  housing.
• 23:45
  I'm
• 23:45
  so
• 23:46
  glad
• 23:46
  it
• 23:46
  took
• 23:46
  the
• 23:46
  national
• 23:47
  stage
• 23:47
  in
• 23:47
  this
• 23:47
  past
• 23:48
  election.
• 23:48
  Yeah.
• 23:49
  And
• 23:50
  affordable
• 23:50
  housing
• 23:50
  is
• 23:50
  still
• 23:51
  a
• 23:51
  major
• 23:51
  issue.
• 23:51
  I'm
• 23:52
  sure
• 23:52
  it
• 23:52
  is
• 23:52
  all
• 23:52
  over
• 23:52
  South
• 23:53
  Carolina,
• 23:53
  but
• 23:53
  definitely
• 23:54
  in
• 23:54
  the
• 23:54
  Tri
• 23:54
  county
• 23:55
  area
• 23:55
  here
• 23:56
  in

  Charleston,
• 23:56
  Berkeley
• 23:57
  and
• 23:57
  Dorchester
• 23:58
  counties.
• 23:59
  And
• 24:00
  I
• 24:00
  want
• 24:00
  to
• 24:00
  fight
• 24:00
  for
• 24:01
  a
• 24:01
  renter's
• 24:01
  tax
• 24:01
  credit.
• 24:02
  Like
• 24:03
  59%
• 24:04
  of
• 24:04
  the
• 24:04
  people
• 24:04
  that
• 24:04
  live
• 24:05
  in
• 24:05
  District
• 24:05
  113
• 24:06
  are
• 24:06
  renters,
• 24:07
  my
• 24:07
  family
• 24:08
  included.
• 24:08
  And
• 24:09
  when
• 24:09
  you're
• 24:09
  paying
• 24:09
  down
• 24:10
  student
• 24:10
  loan
• 24:10
  debt
• 24:10
  and
• 24:11
  you're
• 24:11
  trying
• 24:11
  to
• 24:11
  find
• 24:11
  affordable
• 24:12
  childcare
• 24:13
  and
• 24:13
  housing
• 24:14
  is
• 24:14
  over
• 24:14
  30%
• 24:15
  of
• 24:15
  your
• 24:17
  expenses,
• 24:18
  it
• 24:18
  can
• 24:18
  be
• 24:19
  a
• 24:19
  lot.
• 24:19
  And
• 24:19
  so
• 24:19
  many
• 24:19
  people
• 24:20
  living
• 24:20
  paycheck
• 24:20
  to
• 24:20
  paycheck,
• 24:22
  things
• 24:22
  are
• 24:22
  really
• 24:23
  tight
• 24:23
  and
• 24:24
  the
• 24:24
  rent
• 24:24
  is
• 24:24
  just
• 24:24
  too
• 24:25
  damn
• 24:25
  high.
• 24:25
  So
• 24:26
  I
• 24:26
  want
• 24:27
  to
• 24:27
  fight
• 24:27
  to
• 24:27
  do
• 24:27
  something
• 24:28
  about
• 24:28
  it
• 24:28
  and
• 24:29
  continue
• 24:29
  on
• 24:29
  some
• 24:30
  of
• 24:30
  the
• 24:30
  work.
• 24:30
  Work
• 24:30
  that
• 24:31
  Representative
• 24:32
  Marvin
• 24:32
  Pendarvis
• 24:33
  was
• 24:33
  doing
• 24:33
  as
• 24:33
  well.
• 24:34
  And
• 24:34
  then
• 24:35
  gun
• 24:35
  violence
• 24:36
  is
• 24:36
  still
• 24:36
  a
• 24:37
  big
• 24:37
  problem
• 24:38
  in
• 24:38
  the
• 24:38
  low
• 24:39
  country
• 24:39
  and
• 24:40
  I
• 24:41
  know,
• 24:41
  like,
• 24:42
  I
• 24:42
  get
• 24:42
  it.
• 24:42
  We
• 24:42
  have
• 24:43
  a
• 24:43
  super
• 24:43
  majority
• 24:43
  of
• 24:43
  Republicans
• 24:44
  in
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  House,
• 24:45
  but
• 24:45
  I've
• 24:45
  been
• 24:45
  doing
• 24:46
  research
• 24:46
  on
• 24:47
  what
• 24:47
  some
• 24:47
  of
• 24:47
  the
• 24:47
  Republicans
• 24:48
  even
• 24:48
  want
• 24:48
  to
• 24:48
  do
• 24:49
  about
• 24:49
  it,
• 24:49
  and
• 24:49
  I
• 24:49
  think
• 24:50
  trying
• 24:50
  to
• 24:51
  find
• 24:51
  some
• 24:52
  common
• 24:52
  ground.
• 24:52
  So
• 24:53
  something
• 24:53
  I
• 24:53
  want
• 24:53
  to
• 24:53
  look
• 24:53
  into
• 24:54
  doing
• 24:54
  and
• 24:54
  passing
• 24:55
  is
• 24:55
  safe
• 24:55
  storage
• 24:56
  gun
• 24:56
  laws.
• 24:56
  Okay.
• 24:57
  Just
• 24:57
  to
• 24:58
  help
• 24:58
  prevent
• 24:59
  kids
• 24:59
  from
• 24:59
  getting
• 25:00
  access.
• 25:00
  And
• 25:00
  when
• 25:00
  I
• 25:01
  talked
• 25:01
  to
• 25:01
  North
• 25:01
  Charleston
• 25:02
  police,
• 25:02
  they
• 25:03
  were
• 25:03
  telling
• 25:03
  me
• 25:03
  that
• 25:04
  most
• 25:05
  people
• 25:06
  get
• 25:06
  access
• 25:07
  to
• 25:07
  firearms
• 25:07
  because
• 25:07
  people
• 25:08
  leave
• 25:08
  them
• 25:08
  in
• 25:08
  their
• 25:09
  unlocked
• 25:09
  cars
• 25:09
  or
• 25:09
  they
• 25:10
  leave
• 25:10
  the
• 25:10
  weapons
• 25:10
  in
• 25:11
  their
• 25:11
  cars.
• 25:11
  And
• 25:11
  it's
• 25:11
  like,
• 25:12
  really?
• 25:12
  Come
• 25:12
  on.
• 25:13
  So
• 25:13
  making
• 25:13
  sure
• 25:14
  that
• 25:14
  we
• 25:14
  have
• 25:14
  that
• 25:14
  in
• 25:14
  place.
• 25:15
  And
• 25:15
  then
• 25:16
  because
• 25:16
  gun
• 25:16
  violence
• 25:17
  is
• 25:17
  such
• 25:17
  a.
• 25:18
  It's
• 25:18
  just
• 25:18
  a
• 25:19
  massive
• 25:19
  issue.
• 25:19
  There's
• 25:20
  so
• 25:20
  many
• 25:21
  things.
• 25:22
  Something
• 25:22
  I've
• 25:22
  been
• 25:22
  looking
• 25:23
  into
• 25:23
  is
• 25:23
  how
• 25:23
  it
• 25:23
  impacts
• 25:24
  our
• 25:24
  kids.
• 25:25
  And
• 25:25
  unfortunately,
• 25:26
  gun
• 25:27
  violence
• 25:27
  is
• 25:27
  the
• 25:27
  number
• 25:28
  one
• 25:28
  killer
• 25:29
  of
• 25:29
  children
• 25:29
  in
• 25:29
  America.
• 25:30
  So
• 25:31
  when
• 25:31
  I
• 25:32
  talked
• 25:32
  to
• 25:32
  a
• 25:32
  few
• 25:33
  nonprofit
• 25:34
  organizations
• 25:35
  that
• 25:35
  really
• 25:35
  work
• 25:36
  focusing
• 25:36
  on
• 25:36
  kids
• 25:36
  and
• 25:37
  especially
• 25:37
  surrounding
• 25:38
  gun
• 25:38
  control,
• 25:38
  gun
• 25:39
  reform,
• 25:40
  I
• 25:40
  was
• 25:40
  told,
• 25:41
  and
• 25:41
  I
• 25:41
  learned
• 25:42
  that
• 25:42
  most
• 25:42
  young
• 25:43
  kids
• 25:43
  are
• 25:43
  recruited
• 25:44
  into
• 25:44
  gangs
• 25:45
  in
• 25:45
  elementary
• 25:46
  and
• 25:46
  middle
• 25:46
  school.
• 25:47
  That's
• 25:47
  how
• 25:47
  they
• 25:47
  get
• 25:47
  them
• 25:47
  hooked.
• 25:48
  So
• 25:48
  I
• 25:48
  want
• 25:49
  to
• 25:49
  invest
• 25:49
  state
• 25:50
  money
• 25:50
  into
• 25:50
  after
• 25:50
  school
• 25:51
  programming
• 25:51
  to
• 25:52
  keep
• 25:52
  these
• 25:52
  kids
• 25:52
  occupied
• 25:53
  and
• 25:53
  off
• 25:53
  the
• 25:53
  streets.
• 25:54
  And
• 25:54
  it
• 25:54
  should
• 25:55
  be
• 25:55
  free
• 25:55
  because,
• 25:56
  like
• 25:56
  I
• 25:57
  said,
• 25:57
  most
• 25:57
  parents
• 25:58
  are
• 25:58
  working
• 25:58
  more
• 25:58
  than
• 25:59
  one
• 25:59
  job.
• 25:59
  A
• 25:59
  lot
• 26:00
  of
• 26:00
  these
• 26:00
  kids
• 26:00
  are
• 26:00
  latchkey
• 26:01
  kids.
• 26:01
  So
• 26:02
  I
• 26:02
  think
• 26:03
  having
• 26:03
  them
• 26:03
  occupied
• 26:04
  will
• 26:05
  reduce
• 26:06
  the
• 26:06
  amount
• 26:06
  of
• 26:06
  juvenile
• 26:07
  crime
• 26:07
  that's
• 26:07
  happening
• 26:08
  after
• 26:08
  school
• 26:08
  hours.
• 26:09
  So
• 26:10
  that's
• 26:10
  what
• 26:10
  I
• 26:10
  want
• 26:10
  to
• 26:10
  do.
• 26:11
  That's
• 26:11
  just
• 26:11
  a
• 26:11
  gist.
• 26:12
  But
• 26:12
  if
• 26:13
  your
• 26:13
  viewers
• 26:13
  want
• 26:14
  to
• 26:14
  know
• 26:14
  more,

• 26:20
  want

  to

• 26:20
  But
• 26:21
  those
• 26:21
  are
• 26:21
  just.
• 26:22
  That's
• 26:22
  just

  the
• 26:23
  start.
• 26:23

  to

  Not
• 26:42
  supporting
• 26:42
  the
• 26:43
  school
• 26:43
  vouchers,
• 26:44
  not
• 26:44
  supporting
• 26:45
  the
• 26:45
  privatization
• 26:45
  of
• 26:46
  schools.
• 26:47
  So
• 26:47
  we
• 26:48
  talk
• 26:48
  a
• 26:48
  lot
• 26:48
  about
• 26:48
  kids.
• 26:48
  And
• 26:48
  then
• 26:49
  when
• 26:49
  I
• 26:49
  talk
• 26:49
  to
• 26:50
  working
• 26:50
  families,
• 26:51
  when
• 26:51
  I
• 26:51
  knock
• 26:51
  on
• 26:51
  the
• 26:52
  door
• 26:52
  and
• 26:53
  it's
• 26:53
  a
• 26:54
  family
• 26:54
  that
• 26:54
  has
• 26:54
  little
• 26:55
  ones
• 26:55
  just
• 26:55
  like
• 26:55
  mine,
• 26:55
  they're
• 26:56
  like,
• 26:56
  yeah,
• 26:56
  childcare
• 26:57
  is
• 26:57
  way
• 26:58
  expensive
• 26:59
  and
• 26:59
  they
• 27:00
  want.
• 27:00
  And
• 27:00
  they
• 27:00
  need
• 27:01
  the
• 27:01
  help.
• 27:01
  And
• 27:01
  then
• 27:02
  it's
• 27:02
  like
• 27:02
  a
• 27:02
  second
• 27:03
  mortgage.
• 27:04
  Pretty
• 27:04
  much.
• 27:04
  Yeah.
• 27:05
  And
• 27:05
  then
• 27:05
  I
• 27:06
  can.
• 27:06
  I
• 27:06
  can
• 27:06
  absolutely
• 27:07
  tell
• 27:07
  you
• 27:08
  when.

  So
• 27:09
  Zach's
• 27:09

• 27:10
  twins.
• 27:10
  I
• 27:11
  had.
• 27:11
  My
• 27:11
  wife
• 27:12
  had
• 27:12
  twins.
• 27:13
  They're.
• 27:14
  They
• 27:14
  were.
• 27:14
  They

  turned
• 27:15
  10
• 27:15
  back

  Wow.

  And
• 27:17
  watch
• 27:17
  out.
• 27:17
  There's
• 27:17
  something
• 27:17
  in
• 27:17
  the
• 27:17
  water.
• 27:18
  Every
• 27:18
  year.
• 27:18
  We're
• 27:18
  all
• 27:18
  having
• 27:19
  twins.
• 27:19
  Y'all

  twins.
• 27:20
  I'm

  having
• 27:21
  kids.
• 27:21
  So
• 27:22
  you
• 27:22
  say
• 27:22
  that,
• 27:23
  but
• 27:23
  you're,
• 27:23
  you're,
• 27:23
  you're
• 27:24
  young.
• 27:24
  You're
• 27:25
  young.
• 27:26
  You
• 27:26
  know
• 27:26
  what?
• 27:27
  Twins.
• 27:27
  We

• 27:28
  you

• 27:29
  twins.
• 27:30
  No,
• 27:31
  but,
• 27:32
  but
• 27:32
  when,
• 27:32
  when,
• 27:33
  when
• 27:33
  we
• 27:33
  had
• 27:33
  our
• 27:33
  twins,
• 27:34
  the.
• 27:34
  Ultimately
• 27:36
  it
• 27:36
  was.
• 27:36
  It
• 27:36
  was
• 27:36
  a
• 27:37
  question
• 27:37
  of
• 27:38
  if.
• 27:39
  If
• 27:39
  my
• 27:40
  wife
• 27:40
  went
• 27:40
  back
• 27:40
  to
• 27:41
  work
• 27:41
  after
• 27:41
  having
• 27:42
  the
• 27:42
  kids,
• 27:44
  what
• 27:44
  was,
• 27:45
  what
• 27:45
  was
• 27:45
  most
• 27:45
  cost
• 27:46
  effective?
• 27:46
  How
• 27:47
  much.
• 27:47
  How
• 27:47
  much
• 27:47
  was
• 27:48
  her
• 27:48
  income
• 27:49
  or
• 27:49
  my
• 27:49
  income
• 27:50
  going
• 27:50
  to
• 27:50
  have
• 27:50
  to
• 27:50
  go
• 27:50
  towards
• 27:51
  paying
• 27:51
  for
• 27:51
  childcare?
• 27:53
  You
• 27:53
  know,
• 27:54
  sticking
• 27:54
  them
• 27:54
  in
• 27:55
  a
• 27:55
  daycare
• 27:55
  where
• 27:56
  they're,
• 27:56
  you
• 27:56
  know,
• 27:56
  it's
• 27:57
  good
• 27:57
  for
• 27:57
  their
• 27:57
  immune
• 27:57
  system.
• 27:58
  That's
• 27:58
  what
• 27:58
  I
• 27:58
  always
• 27:58
  hear.
• 27:59
  But
• 28:00
  they're
• 28:00
  constantly
• 28:01
  coming
• 28:01
  home
• 28:01
  sick.
• 28:02
  Bad
• 28:02
  for
• 28:03
  your
• 28:03
  vacation
• 28:03
  days.
• 28:04
  Yeah,
• 28:04
  but.
• 28:05
  So
• 28:06
  we
• 28:06
  made
• 28:06
  the
• 28:06
  decision
• 28:07
  that
• 28:07
  while
• 28:08
  it
• 28:08
  was
• 28:08
  going
• 28:09
  to
• 28:09
  hurt
• 28:09
  us
• 28:09
  a
• 28:09
  little
• 28:10
  bit
• 28:10
  financially,
• 28:11
  she
• 28:11
  basically
• 28:12
  would
• 28:12
  have
• 28:12
  been
• 28:12
  working
• 28:12
  for
• 28:13
  about
• 28:13
  $1.50
• 28:14
  an
• 28:14
  hour
• 28:14
  after
• 28:15
  paying
• 28:15
  for
• 28:16
  childcare.
• 28:17
  So
• 28:17
  it
• 28:17
  just
• 28:17
  didn't
• 28:17
  make
• 28:18
  sense.
• 28:19
  You
• 28:19
  know,
• 28:19
  you
• 28:20
  don't
• 28:20
  even.
• 28:21
  There
• 28:21
  are
• 28:21
  very
• 28:21
  few
• 28:22
  places
• 28:22
  around
• 28:22
  here
• 28:22
  that'll
• 28:22
  give
• 28:23
  you
• 28:23
  a
• 28:23
  discount
• 28:23
  just
• 28:24
  because
• 28:24
  you're
• 28:24
  bringing
• 28:24
  in
• 28:24
  two
• 28:25
  kids.
• 28:25
  They.
• 28:25
  Look
• 28:25
  at
• 28:25
  that.
• 28:25
  They're
• 28:26
  like,
• 28:26
  two
• 28:26
  kids
• 28:26
  now.
• 28:27
  It's
• 28:28
  100%.
• 28:28
  You're
• 28:28
  gonna,
• 28:29
  you're
• 28:29
  gonna
• 28:29
  pay
• 28:29
  100%.
• 28:30
  One
• 28:30
  for
• 28:30
  100%
• 28:31
  for
• 28:31
  each.
• 28:33
  And
• 28:33
  we
• 28:33
  do.
• 28:33
  The
• 28:34
  state,
• 28:34
  South
• 28:34
  Carolina
• 28:35
  does
• 28:35
  have
• 28:35
  a
• 28:36
  scholarship
• 28:36
  program
• 28:36
  for
• 28:37
  childcare,
• 28:38
  but
• 28:38
  those
• 28:38
  programs,
• 28:40
  grateful
• 28:40
  for
• 28:40
  them,
• 28:40
  but
• 28:40
  they
• 28:41
  really
• 28:41
  only
• 28:41
  help
• 28:42
  the
• 28:42
  people,
• 28:42
  like,
• 28:42
  living
• 28:42
  around
• 28:43
  the
• 28:43
  poverty
• 28:43
  line.
• 28:44
  And
• 28:44
  this
• 28:44
  issue
• 28:44
  is
• 28:44
  such
• 28:45
  a
• 28:45
  giant
• 28:45
  issue.
• 28:46
  We
• 28:46
  need
• 28:46
  to
• 28:46
  expand
• 28:47
  that
• 28:47
  because
• 28:47
  there's
• 28:47
  a
• 28:47
  lot
• 28:47
  of
• 28:48
  people
• 28:48
  in
• 28:49
  the
• 28:49
  middle.
• 28:50
  Like
• 28:50
  I
• 28:50
  consider
• 28:50
  myself,
• 28:51
  you
• 28:51
  know,
• 28:51
  middle
• 28:51
  income
• 28:52
  family.
• 28:53
  We
• 28:53
  are
• 28:53
  struggling.
• 28:54
  We
• 28:54
  are
• 28:54
  struggling
• 28:55
  right
• 28:56
  now.
• 28:56
  And
• 28:57
  that's
• 28:58
  a
• 28:58
  story
• 28:58
  that
• 28:58
  so
• 28:58
  many
• 28:59
  people
• 28:59
  have.
• 29:00
  I
• 29:00
  mean,
• 29:01
  I
• 29:01
  started
• 29:02
  thinking
• 29:02
  about
• 29:02
  myself
• 29:02
  when
• 29:03
  you
• 29:03
  were
• 29:03
  talking
• 29:03
  about
• 29:03
  the
• 29:03
  decisions
• 29:04
  that
• 29:04
  you
• 29:04
  and
• 29:04
  your
• 29:04
  family
• 29:05
  make.
• 29:05
  That
• 29:05
  was
• 29:05
  a
• 29:05
  decision
• 29:06
  that
• 29:06
  my
• 29:06
  husband
• 29:07
  and
• 29:07
  I
• 29:07
  made
• 29:07
  after
• 29:07
  we
• 29:07
  had
• 29:07
  our
• 29:08
  first
• 29:08
  child.
• 29:08
  We're
• 29:08
  like.
• 29:09
  My
• 29:09
  husband
• 29:09
  was
• 29:09
  like,
• 29:09
  michelle,
• 29:10
  your
• 29:10
  paycheck
• 29:10
  is
• 29:10
  going
• 29:10
  to
• 29:11
  go
• 29:11
  to
• 29:11
  childcare.
• 29:11
  You
• 29:11
  might
• 29:11
  as
• 29:12
  well
• 29:12
  just
• 29:12
  stay
• 29:12
  home.
• 29:13
  And
• 29:13
  that
• 29:13
  was
• 29:14
  hard
• 29:14
  because
• 29:15
  I
• 29:15
  wanted
• 29:16
  to
• 29:16
  keep,
• 29:16
  you
• 29:16
  know,
• 29:17
  earning
• 29:17
  income
• 29:17
  outside
• 29:18
  of
• 29:18
  the
• 29:18
  home,
• 29:18
  but
• 29:19
  it
• 29:19
  just
• 29:19
  wasn't
• 29:20
  cost
• 29:20
  effective.
• 29:21
  Yeah,
• 29:21
  I
• 29:22
  know
• 29:22
  there's
• 29:22
  reasons
• 29:22
  why
• 29:23
  everyone
• 29:23
  does
• 29:23
  everything,
• 29:23
  and
• 29:24
  there's
• 29:24
  no
• 29:24
  judgment
• 29:24
  on
• 29:25
  what
• 29:25
  families
• 29:25
  have
• 29:25
  to
• 29:25
  choose
• 29:26
  to
• 29:26
  do,
• 29:27
  but
• 29:28
  it's.
• 29:28
  It's
• 29:28
  tough.
• 29:29
  And
• 29:29
  so
• 29:29
  it's
• 29:29
  an
• 29:30
  economic
• 29:30
  problem
• 29:31
  in
• 29:31
  South
• 29:31
  Carolina.
• 29:32
  It's
• 29:32
  not
• 29:32
  a
• 29:32
  women's
• 29:33
  problem.
• 29:33
  It's
• 29:34
  an
• 29:34
  everybody
• 29:35
  problem.
• 29:35
  And
• 29:35
  if
• 29:35
  we
• 29:36
  can
• 29:36
  get
• 29:36
  More
• 29:36
  affordable
• 29:37
  childcare
• 29:38
  that
• 29:38
  will
• 29:38
  help
• 29:38
  boost
• 29:39
  our
• 29:39
  economy
• 29:39
  and
• 29:40
  create
• 29:40
  more
• 29:41
  sorry
• 29:42
  economic
• 29:42
  opportunity,
• 29:43
  but
• 29:43
  especially
• 29:44
  for
• 29:44
  women,
• 29:45
  because,
• 29:46
  you
• 29:46
  know,
• 29:46
  the
• 29:47
  patriarchy.
• 29:48
  Of
• 29:49
  course.
• 29:50
  You're
• 29:50
  on
• 29:50
  a
• 29:51
  show
• 29:51
  with
• 29:51
  two
• 29:51
  men.
• 29:52
  Yes,
• 29:53
  two
• 29:53
  white
• 29:53
  men
• 29:54
  as
• 29:54
  well.
• 29:55
  I'm
• 29:56
  not
• 29:56
  white.
• 29:59
  Zach.
• 30:01
  Zach
• 30:01
  doesn't.
• 30:02
  Zach
• 30:02
  doesn't
• 30:02
  identify
• 30:02
  as
• 30:03
  white.
• 30:03
  And
• 30:04
  frankly,
• 30:04
  I'm
• 30:04
  embarrassed
• 30:05
  by
• 30:05
  a
• 30:05
  lot
• 30:05
  of
• 30:05
  the
• 30:05
  things
• 30:05
  the
• 30:05
  whites
• 30:06
  have
• 30:06
  done
• 30:06
  over
• 30:06
  the
• 30:06
  last
• 30:06
  thousand
• 30:07
  years.
• 30:07
  So
• 30:08
  I
• 30:08
  may
• 30:08
  not
• 30:08
  identify
• 30:09
  as
• 30:09
  that
• 30:09
  either.
• 30:12
  I
• 30:13
  guess
• 30:14
  one
• 30:14
  of
• 30:14
  the
• 30:14
  most
• 30:14
  difficult
• 30:15
  things
• 30:15
  about
• 30:16
  running
• 30:16
  an
• 30:17
  election
• 30:17
  is
• 30:19
  in
• 30:19
  meeting
• 30:20
  with
• 30:20
  some
• 30:20
  of
• 30:20
  your
• 30:20
  constituents,
• 30:21
  and
• 30:21
  you
• 30:21
  already
• 30:22
  mentioned
• 30:22
  it
• 30:23
  as
• 30:23
  far
• 30:23
  as
• 30:24
  having
• 30:25
  the
• 30:26
  potential
• 30:26
  that
• 30:27
  you're
• 30:27
  going
• 30:27
  to
• 30:28
  campaign
• 30:28
  to
• 30:29
  someone
• 30:30
  who
• 30:30
  already
• 30:31
  knows
• 30:32
  one
• 30:32
  of
• 30:32
  the
• 30:32
  other
• 30:33
  individuals
• 30:33
  that's
• 30:33
  running
• 30:36
  in
• 30:36
  that
• 30:36
  situation,
• 30:37
  because
• 30:38
  these
• 30:38
  are
• 30:38
  people
• 30:39
  you
• 30:39
  probably
• 30:39
  know.
• 30:41
  I
• 30:41
  assume
• 30:41
  you've
• 30:41
  had
• 30:42
  interactions
• 30:42
  with
• 30:42
  them.
• 30:44
  How
• 30:45
  do
• 30:45
  you
• 30:46
  navigate
• 30:46
  that
• 30:47
  sort
• 30:47
  of
• 30:47
  relationship
• 30:48
  with
• 30:48
  this
• 30:48
  person
• 30:49
  that
• 30:49
  you've
• 30:49
  just
• 30:50
  met
• 30:50
  versus
• 30:51
  what,
• 30:51
  their
• 30:52
  impression
• 30:52
  of
• 30:52
  their
• 30:53
  friend
• 30:53
  or
• 30:53
  who
• 30:54
  they've
• 30:55
  already
• 30:55
  interacted
• 30:55
  with?
• 30:56
  Well,
• 30:57
  I
• 30:57
  always
• 30:57
  love
• 30:58
  to
• 30:58
  talk
• 30:58
  about
• 30:58
  myself
• 30:59
  and
• 30:59
  my
• 30:59
  accomplishments,
• 31:00
  and
• 31:00
  then
• 31:00
  I
• 31:01
  try
• 31:01
  to
• 31:02
  differentiate
• 31:03
  myself
• 31:04
  from
• 31:04
  the
• 31:04
  others
• 31:05
  without
• 31:05
  naming
• 31:06
  them.
• 31:06
  Sure.
• 31:07
  You're
• 31:07
  not
• 31:07
  going
• 31:07
  to
• 31:07
  catch
• 31:08
  me
• 31:08
  saying
• 31:08
  nobody
• 31:08
  else's
• 31:09
  name
• 31:09
  on
• 31:09
  this
• 31:09
  podcast
• 31:10
  today.
• 31:11
  Google
• 31:11
  is
• 31:11
  free,
• 31:12
  so.
• 31:12
  That's
• 31:12
  right.
• 31:13
  Enjoy.
• 31:14
  But
• 31:14
  I
• 31:14
  try
• 31:15
  to
• 31:15
  point
• 31:15
  out
• 31:15
  the
• 31:16
  differences.
• 31:16
  I
• 31:16
  mean,
• 31:17
  I
• 31:17
  am
• 31:17
  a
• 31:17
  very
• 31:18
  strong
• 31:18
  Democrat.
• 31:19
  People
• 31:19
  have
• 31:19
  seen
• 31:19
  me
• 31:20
  out
• 31:20
  here
• 31:20
  working.
• 31:21
  I
• 31:21
  am
• 31:22
  extremely
• 31:22
  visible.
• 31:23
  And
• 31:23
  when
• 31:23
  I
• 31:23
  talk
• 31:24
  to
• 31:24
  constituents,
• 31:25
  that's
• 31:25
  what
• 31:25
  they
• 31:25
  want.
• 31:26
  They
• 31:26
  want
• 31:26
  a
• 31:27
  state
• 31:27
  rep
• 31:27
  who's
• 31:27
  going
• 31:27
  to
• 31:27
  be
• 31:27
  accessible,
• 31:28
  who's
• 31:29
  going
• 31:29
  to
• 31:29
  not,
• 31:30
  you
• 31:30
  know,
• 31:32
  be
• 31:32
  too
• 31:32
  busy
• 31:33
  to
• 31:33
  address
• 31:33
  the
• 31:34
  needs
• 31:34
  of
• 31:34
  the
• 31:34
  community,
• 31:35
  and
• 31:35
  someone
• 31:35
  who's
• 31:35
  going
• 31:35
  to
• 31:35
  be
• 31:36
  present
• 31:36
  and
• 31:37
  not
• 31:37
  just
• 31:37
  come
• 31:38
  around
• 31:38
  every
• 31:38
  two
• 31:39
  years,
• 31:39
  but
• 31:39
  someone
• 31:39
  who's
• 31:40
  going
• 31:40
  to
• 31:40
  be
• 31:40
  consistently
• 31:41
  involved.
• 31:42
  And
• 31:43
  I
• 31:43
  have
• 31:43
  maintained
• 31:44
  that
• 31:44
  ever
• 31:45
  since
• 31:45
  I
• 31:45
  ran
• 31:45
  for
• 31:45
  office
• 31:46
  the
• 31:46
  first
• 31:46
  time.
• 31:46
  Like,
• 31:47
  even
• 31:47
  though
• 31:47
  I
• 31:47
  lost,
• 31:48
  I
• 31:48
  still
• 31:48
  showed
• 31:49
  up.
• 31:49
  And
• 31:49
  then
• 31:50
  I
• 31:50
  got
• 31:50
  involved
• 31:50
  in
• 31:50
  the
• 31:50
  party
• 31:51
  even
• 31:51
  more,
• 31:51
  became
• 31:52
  a
• 31:52
  third
• 31:52
  vice
• 31:52
  chair,
• 31:53
  and
• 31:53
  I'm
• 31:54
  still
• 31:54
  out
• 31:54
  here
• 31:55
  advocating
• 31:56
  for
• 31:56
  the
• 31:56
  issues
• 31:57
  I
• 31:57
  believe
• 31:57
  in.
• 31:58
  When
• 31:58
  I
• 31:58
  decided
• 31:59
  that
• 31:59
  I
• 31:59
  was
• 31:59
  ready
• 31:59
  to
• 31:59
  enter
• 32:00
  the
• 32:00
  workforce,
• 32:01
  I
• 32:01
  wanted
• 32:01
  to
• 32:02
  work
• 32:02
  for
• 32:03
  an
• 32:03
  organization
• 32:03
  that
• 32:03
  I
• 32:03
  felt
• 32:04
  aligned
• 32:04
  with
• 32:04
  my
• 32:04
  beliefs.
• 32:05
  And
• 32:05
  that's
• 32:05
  why
• 32:05
  I
• 32:05
  did
• 32:06
  work
• 32:06
  for
• 32:06
  Planned
• 32:06
  Parenthood
• 32:07
  South
• 32:07
  Atlantic.
• 32:08
  And
• 32:09
  I
• 32:10
  just
• 32:10
  feel
• 32:10
  like
• 32:11
  my
• 32:11
  record
• 32:12
  will
• 32:13
  speak
• 32:13
  for
• 32:13
  itself.
• 32:14
  I
• 32:14
  mean,
• 32:15
  I
• 32:15
  can't
• 32:16
  change
• 32:16
  anyone's
• 32:17
  mind.
• 32:17
  That's
• 32:17
  like,
• 32:18
  you
• 32:18
  know,
• 32:18
  hard,
• 32:18
  steadfast.
• 32:19
  But
• 32:20
  there
• 32:20
  are
• 32:20
  a
• 32:20
  lot
• 32:20
  of
• 32:20
  people
• 32:21
  I
• 32:21
  think
• 32:22
  that
• 32:22
  I
• 32:22
  have
• 32:22
  been
• 32:22
  able
• 32:23
  to
• 32:23
  reach
• 32:23
  through,
• 32:24
  if
• 32:24
  anything.
• 32:24
  I
• 32:24
  had
• 32:25
  a
• 32:25
  conversation
• 32:27
  with
• 32:27
  a
• 32:27
  very
• 32:28
  prominent
• 32:28
  person
• 32:28
  in
• 32:28
  the
• 32:29
  district,
• 32:29
  and
• 32:30
  he
• 32:31
  told
• 32:31
  me
• 32:31
  he
• 32:31
  was
• 32:31
  leaning
• 32:32
  towards
• 32:32
  someone
• 32:32
  else.
• 32:32
  And
• 32:33
  then
• 32:33
  once
• 32:33
  I
• 32:33
  told
• 32:33
  him
• 32:33
  what
• 32:34
  I
• 32:34
  was
• 32:34
  about.
• 32:34
  He
• 32:34
  was
• 32:34
  like,
• 32:35
  wow,
• 32:35
  I
• 32:35
  didn't
• 32:36
  realize
• 32:36
  there
• 32:37
  were
• 32:37
  at
• 32:37
  least
• 32:38
  two
• 32:38
  great
• 32:38
  candidates
• 32:39
  in
• 32:39
  this.
• 32:39
  I'm
• 32:39
  like,
• 32:39
  yes,
• 32:40
  yes,
• 32:40
  sir.
• 32:41
  Yes.
• 32:41
  Remember
• 32:41
  Michelle
• 32:42
  Brandt?
• 32:43
  This
• 32:43
  is
• 32:43
  not
• 32:43
  going
• 32:43
  to
• 32:43
  be
• 32:44
  easy
• 32:44
  for
• 32:44
  you.
• 32:45
  Put
• 32:45
  my
• 32:45
  name
• 32:45
  on
• 32:45
  your
• 32:45
  mouth.
• 32:46
  I'm
• 32:46
  here.
• 32:46
  Yes,
• 32:47
  yes.
• 32:48
  So,
• 32:48
  I
• 32:48
  mean,
• 32:49
  so
• 32:49
  it
• 32:49
  can
• 32:50
  be
• 32:50
  a
• 32:50
  little
• 32:50
  tricky
• 32:50
  navigating
• 32:51
  that
• 32:51
  space,
• 32:52
  but
• 32:52
  I
• 32:53
  just
• 32:53
  be
• 32:53
  my.
• 32:54
  I
• 32:54
  just
• 32:54
  try
• 32:54
  to
• 32:54
  be
• 32:55
  my
• 32:55
  authentic
• 32:55
  self,
• 32:56
  be
• 32:56
  real
• 32:57
  and
• 32:58
  tell
• 32:58
  people
• 32:58
  my
• 32:58
  story.
• 32:59
  And
• 32:59
  I
• 32:59
  feel
• 32:59
  like
• 32:59
  my
• 33:00
  story
• 33:00
  is
• 33:00
  the
• 33:00
  one
• 33:00
  that
• 33:00
  a
• 33:00
  lot
• 33:00
  of
• 33:01
  people
• 33:01
  can
• 33:01
  resonate
• 33:01
  with.
• 33:02
  With.
• 33:02
  But
• 33:02
  I
• 33:03
  do
• 33:03
  have
• 33:03
  a
• 33:03
  lot
• 33:03
  of
• 33:04
  like
• 33:04
  the
• 33:04
  training,
• 33:05
  if
• 33:05
  you
• 33:05
  will,
• 33:06
  to
• 33:06
  be
• 33:06
  in
• 33:07
  leadership.
• 33:07
  I
• 33:07
  have
• 33:08
  a
• 33:08
  lot
• 33:08
  of
• 33:08
  the
• 33:08
  connections
• 33:09
  already
• 33:09
  in
• 33:09
  the
• 33:09
  State
• 33:09
  House
• 33:10
  from
• 33:10
  my
• 33:10
  work
• 33:10
  with
• 33:10
  Planned
• 33:10
  Parenthood,
• 33:11
  from
• 33:11
  my
• 33:11
  work
• 33:11
  as
• 33:11
  a
• 33:11
  third
• 33:12
  vice
• 33:12
  chair.
• 33:13
  I
• 33:13
  know
• 33:13
  a
• 33:14
  lot
• 33:14
  of
• 33:14
  people
• 33:14
  up
• 33:14
  there
• 33:14
  already,
• 33:15
  Republicans
• 33:15
  and
• 33:16
  Democrats
• 33:16
  alike.
• 33:17
  I
• 33:17
  know
• 33:17
  them
• 33:18
  and
• 33:18
  I'm
• 33:18
  willing
• 33:19
  to
• 33:19
  do
• 33:19
  what
• 33:19
  it
• 33:19
  takes
• 33:19
  to
• 33:20
  get
• 33:20
  done.
• 33:21
  Yeah,
• 33:22
  good
• 33:22
  people
• 33:22
  are
• 33:22
  good
• 33:23
  people.
• 33:23
  You
• 33:23
  could
• 33:23
  put
• 33:23
  a
• 33:23
  tag
• 33:23
  on
• 33:24
  them
• 33:24
  if
• 33:24
  they're
• 33:24
  good
• 33:24
  and
• 33:24
  they
• 33:24
  could
• 33:25
  still
• 33:25
  be
• 33:25
  Republican.
• 33:26
  Doesn't
• 33:26
  matter.
• 33:27
  Yeah.
• 33:27
  I
• 33:27
  wanted
• 33:27
  to
• 33:27
  ask
• 33:27
  you
• 33:28
  this
• 33:28
  real
• 33:28
  quick.
• 33:29
  What
• 33:29
  is
• 33:29
  Michelle
• 33:30
  Brandt
• 33:30
  that
• 33:30
  doesn't
• 33:31
  run
• 33:31
  for
• 33:31
  politics?
• 33:32
  What,
• 33:32
  what
• 33:32
  is
• 33:33
  she,
• 33:33

  Be
• 33:34
  doing
• 33:35
  like
• 33:36
  before
• 33:36
  2020.
• 33:37
  No,

• 33:38
  Like,
• 33:39
  like

  Pre

  Yeah,

  that's
• 33:42
  pre

• 33:43
  What

  would
• 33:44
  you.

  No,

  like
• 33:45
  right
• 33:45
  now
• 33:45
  if,
• 33:45
  like,
• 33:46
  if
• 33:46
  you're
• 33:46
  like
• 33:46
  politics,
• 33:47
  let's
• 33:47
  say,
• 33:48
  in
• 33:48
  some
• 33:48
  multiverse,
• 33:49
  you're
• 33:49
  not
• 33:49
  doing
• 33:50
  anything
• 33:51
  political.
• 33:51
  You're.
• 33:52
  What,
• 33:52
  what,
• 33:53
  what's
• 33:53
  the
• 33:53
  other
• 33:53
  thing?
• 33:53
  Is
• 33:54
  it
• 33:54
  still
• 33:54
  working
• 33:54
  for
• 33:56
  trying
• 33:56
  to
• 33:56
  help
• 33:56
  people,
• 33:58
  that
• 33:59
  kind
• 33:59
  of
• 33:59
  thing.
• 33:59
  What,
• 33:59
  what
• 34:00
  would
• 34:00
  it
• 34:00
  be?
• 34:01
  Well,
• 34:03
  I've
• 34:03
  always
• 34:03
  had
• 34:04
  a
• 34:04
  bent
• 34:04
  towards
• 34:05
  public
• 34:05
  service.
• 34:07
  Like
• 34:08
  you
• 34:08
  mentioned
• 34:08
  Planned
• 34:08
  Parenthood,
• 34:09
  that
• 34:09
  kind
• 34:09
  of
• 34:09
  thing.
• 34:10
  Would
• 34:10
  it
• 34:10
  still
• 34:10
  be
• 34:10
  that?
• 34:10
  Right?
• 34:12
  I
• 34:12
  don't
• 34:12
  think
• 34:12
  it
• 34:13
  would.
• 34:13
  I
• 34:13
  think
• 34:13
  it
• 34:13
  would
• 34:13
  just
• 34:14
  be
• 34:14
  me.
• 34:14
  Just
• 34:16
  I.
• 34:16
  Probably
• 34:17
  working
• 34:17
  for
• 34:17
  a
• 34:17
  non
• 34:17
  profit.
• 34:18
  I
• 34:18
  know
• 34:18
  Planned
• 34:19
  Parenthood,
• 34:19
  but
• 34:19
  probably
• 34:20
  something
• 34:21
  more
• 34:21
  along
• 34:22
  the
• 34:22
  direct
• 34:22
  service
• 34:22
  line.
• 34:24
  How
• 34:24
  I
• 34:24
  got
• 34:25
  started
• 34:25
  into
• 34:25
  politics
• 34:26
  was
• 34:26
  out
• 34:26
  of
• 34:26
  food
• 34:27
  distribution.
• 34:27
  So
• 34:27
  I
• 34:27
  would
• 34:28
  imagine
• 34:28
  I'd
• 34:28
  be
• 34:28
  continuing
• 34:29
  to
• 34:29
  do
• 34:29
  something
• 34:29
  along
• 34:30
  those
• 34:30
  lines.
• 34:31
  That's
• 34:31
  like
• 34:32
  my
• 34:32
  origin
• 34:32
  story,
• 34:32
  I
• 34:33
  think.
• 34:33
  I
• 34:33
  think
• 34:33
  you
• 34:34
  guys
• 34:34
  were
• 34:34
  there
• 34:34
  when
• 34:34
  I
• 34:34
  talked
• 34:35
  about
• 34:35
  that.
• 34:35
  I
• 34:35
  think
• 34:35
  you
• 34:35
  did,
• 34:36
  yeah.
• 34:36
  Can
• 34:36
  I
• 34:37
  share
• 34:37
  it
• 34:37
  on?
• 34:37
  Yeah,
• 34:37
  please.
• 34:38
  Okay.
• 34:38
  No.
• 34:39
  So.
• 34:41
  Just
• 34:41
  kidding.
• 34:44
  Yes,
• 34:44
  please
• 34:44
  do.
• 34:45
  So
• 34:45
  in
• 34:45
  2020,
• 34:46
  I
• 34:47
  was
• 34:47
  Mrs.
• 34:47
  Charleston
• 34:48
  America.
• 34:49
  I
• 34:49
  do
• 34:49
  pageantry
• 34:49
  as
• 34:50
  a
• 34:50
  hobby.
• 34:51
  And
• 34:51
  I
• 34:51
  will
• 34:51
  continue
• 34:52
  no
• 34:52
  matter
• 34:52
  the
• 34:52
  result
• 34:53
  of
• 34:53
  this
• 34:53
  election.
• 34:55
  And
• 34:55
  I
• 34:55
  wanted
• 34:56
  to
• 34:56
  do
• 34:56
  something
• 34:56
  to
• 34:56
  help
• 34:56
  people.
• 34:57
  I
• 34:57
  didn't
• 34:57
  know
• 34:57
  what
• 34:57
  to
• 34:57
  do.
• 34:58
  And
• 34:58
  I
• 34:58
  saw
• 34:58
  that
• 34:58
  Charleston
• 34:59
  Hope
• 34:59
  was
• 34:59
  having
• 35:00
  a
• 35:00
  food
• 35:00
  distribution
• 35:01
  in
• 35:01
  Downtown
• 35:01
  Charleston.
• 35:02
  So
• 35:02
  I
• 35:02
  volunteered,
• 35:04
  and
• 35:05
  I
• 35:05
  met
• 35:05
  a
• 35:06
  lot
• 35:06
  of
• 35:06
  people
• 35:06
  that
• 35:06
  day.
• 35:07
  It
• 35:07
  was
• 35:07
  so
• 35:07
  hot.
• 35:08
  And
• 35:08
  there
• 35:08
  was
• 35:08
  this
• 35:09
  one
• 35:09
  man
• 35:09
  on
• 35:09
  a
• 35:09
  bicycle
• 35:10
  who
• 35:11
  wouldn't
• 35:11
  take
• 35:11
  some
• 35:12
  of
• 35:12
  the
• 35:12
  food
• 35:12
  because
• 35:13
  he
• 35:13
  didn't
• 35:13
  have
• 35:13
  a
• 35:13
  refrigerator.
• 35:14
  And,
• 35:15
  like,
• 35:15
  that
• 35:15
  was
• 35:15
  like,
• 35:17
  obviously,
• 35:17
  I
• 35:17
  know
• 35:18
  that
• 35:18
  houseless
• 35:18
  people
• 35:19
  live
• 35:20
  without
• 35:20
  basic
• 35:20
  needs,
• 35:20
  but
• 35:21
  just
• 35:21
  something
• 35:21
  in
• 35:21
  that
• 35:22
  moment,
• 35:22
  I
• 35:22
  was
• 35:22
  just
• 35:22
  like,
• 35:23
  what?
• 35:23
  Like,
• 35:24
  refrigerator.
• 35:25
  Like,
• 35:26
  but
• 35:27
  you
• 35:27
  need
• 35:27
  this.
• 35:27
  Like,
• 35:28
  how
• 35:28
  are.
• 35:28
  I
• 35:28
  had
• 35:29
  so
• 35:29
  many
• 35:29
  questions,
• 35:30
  and
• 35:30
  by
• 35:31
  the
• 35:31
  time
• 35:31
  I,
• 35:31
  like,
• 35:32
  turned
• 35:32
  around
• 35:32
  to
• 35:32
  give
• 35:32
  him
• 35:33
  something
• 35:33
  else,
• 35:34
  he
• 35:34
  had
• 35:35
  left.
• 35:35
  And
• 35:36
  so
• 35:36
  I
• 35:37
  knew
• 35:37
  then
• 35:37
  that
• 35:37
  I
• 35:37
  was
• 35:37
  like,
• 35:38
  okay,
• 35:38
  I
• 35:38
  want
• 35:38
  to
• 35:38
  do
• 35:38
  something
• 35:39
  more.
• 35:39
  I
• 35:39
  don't
• 35:39
  know
• 35:40
  where
• 35:40
  to
• 35:40
  start,
• 35:41
  but
• 35:41
  I
• 35:41
  started,
• 35:41
  like,
• 35:42
  hyper
• 35:42
  local.
• 35:43
  I
• 35:43
  joined
• 35:43
  the
• 35:43
  Charleston
• 35:44
  area
• 35:44
  Justice
• 35:45
  Ministry,
• 35:45
  and
• 35:45
  I
• 35:46
  started
• 35:46
  going
• 35:46
  to
• 35:46
  county
• 35:47
  council
• 35:47
  meetings
• 35:47
  for
• 35:47
  the
• 35:47
  first
• 35:48
  time
• 35:48
  in
• 35:48
  my
• 35:48
  life.
• 35:49
  Even
• 35:49
  though
• 35:49
  I
• 35:50
  considered
• 35:50
  myself,
• 35:50
  you
• 35:51
  know,
• 35:51
  somewhat
• 35:51
  of
• 35:51
  informed
• 35:52
  voter,
• 35:52
  I
• 35:53
  didn't
• 35:53
  really
• 35:53
  understand
• 35:54
  the
• 35:54
  ins
• 35:54
  and
• 35:54
  outs
• 35:54
  of
• 35:55
  local
• 35:55
  politics.
• 35:55
  And
• 35:56
  then
• 35:56
  when
• 35:56
  I
• 35:56
  saw
• 35:56
  who
• 35:57
  the
• 35:57
  representatives
• 35:57
  were,
• 35:58
  I
• 35:58
  was
• 35:58
  like,
• 35:59
  I
• 36:00
  know
• 36:00
  more
• 36:00
  than
• 36:00
  some
• 36:00
  of
• 36:01
  these
• 36:01
  people
• 36:01
  sitting
• 36:01
  up
• 36:02
  there.
• 36:03
  And
• 36:03
  I
• 36:03
  was,
• 36:03
  like,
• 36:04
  frustrated
• 36:04
  by
• 36:04
  the
• 36:04
  lack
• 36:05
  of
• 36:05
  women
• 36:05
  up
• 36:05
  there
• 36:06
  as
• 36:06
  well.
• 36:06
  It
• 36:06
  was
• 36:06
  majority
• 36:07
  men.
• 36:07
  And
• 36:08
  so
• 36:08
  I
• 36:08
  had
• 36:08
  conversations
• 36:09
  with
• 36:09
  some
• 36:09
  of
• 36:09
  the
• 36:09
  council
• 36:10
  members,
• 36:10
  and
• 36:10
  I
• 36:10
  was
• 36:10
  like,
• 36:11
  how.
• 36:11
  How
• 36:11
  do
• 36:12
  I
• 36:12
  be?
• 36:12
  Like,
• 36:12
  you,
• 36:12
  like,
• 36:12
  teach
• 36:13
  me,
• 36:13
  like,
• 36:13
  what
• 36:13
  do
• 36:13
  I
• 36:13
  do?
• 36:14
  Like,
• 36:14
  I.
• 36:15
  I
• 36:16
  don't
• 36:16
  know
• 36:16
  much
• 36:16
  about
• 36:17
  policy.
• 36:17
  And
• 36:18
  they
• 36:18
  were
• 36:18
  extremely
• 36:19
  patient
• 36:19
  with
• 36:19
  me.
• 36:20
  I
• 36:20
  ended
• 36:20
  up
• 36:20
  having
• 36:20
  a
• 36:20
  three
• 36:21
  hour
• 36:21
  conversation
• 36:22
  with
• 36:22
  Jenny
• 36:23
  Honeycutt.
• 36:24
  She's
• 36:24
  a
• 36:24
  Republican,
• 36:25
  but,
• 36:25
  you
• 36:25
  know,
• 36:26
  she.
• 36:26
  She
• 36:27
  took
• 36:27
  her
• 36:27
  time
• 36:27
  out
• 36:27
  of
• 36:28
  her
• 36:28
  day
• 36:28
  to
• 36:28
  just
• 36:28
  kind
• 36:29
  of
• 36:29
  explain
• 36:29
  how
• 36:30
  everything
• 36:30
  worked
• 36:30
  and
• 36:30
  politics
• 36:31
  and
• 36:31
  what
• 36:31
  was
• 36:31
  going
• 36:31
  on.
• 36:32
  And
• 36:32
  she
• 36:32
  encouraged
• 36:32
  me
• 36:33
  to
• 36:33
  apply
• 36:33
  to
• 36:33
  be
• 36:33
  a
• 36:33
  commissioner,
• 36:34
  and
• 36:35
  that
• 36:35
  was,
• 36:35
  like,
• 36:35
  my
• 36:35
  official
• 36:36
  first,
• 36:36
  like,
• 36:37
  appointed
• 36:37
  position.
• 36:39
  And
• 36:39
  I
• 36:39
  became
• 36:39
  commissioner
• 36:40
  of
• 36:40
  Charleston
• 36:40
  County
• 36:41
  Parks.
• 36:41
  And
• 36:42
  that's
• 36:42
  where
• 36:42
  I
• 36:42
  learned
• 36:42
  about
• 36:43
  networking
• 36:43
  and,
• 36:44
  like,
• 36:45
  how
• 36:45
  to
• 36:45
  be,
• 36:46
  like,
• 36:46
  elected,
• 36:46
  even
• 36:46
  though
• 36:47
  that
• 36:47
  was
• 36:47
  an
• 36:47
  elected
• 36:48
  position,
• 36:48
  because
• 36:48
  I
• 36:49
  almost.
• 36:50
  You
• 36:51
  were
• 36:51
  a
• 36:51
  step
• 36:51
  above
• 36:51
  Leslie
• 36:52
  Knope.
• 36:53
  Yeah,
• 36:54
  pretty
• 36:54
  much.
• 36:55
  I
• 36:56
  love
• 36:56
  looking
• 36:57
  at
• 36:57
  watching
• 36:57
  that
• 36:58
  show.
• 36:58
  Parks
• 36:58
  and
• 36:58
  Rec
• 36:59
  got
• 36:59
  a
• 37:00
  lot
• 37:00
  of
• 37:00
  inspiration
• 37:01
  from
• 37:01
  watching
• 37:01
  that
• 37:01
  show.
• 37:02
  I
• 37:02
  was
• 37:02
  like,
• 37:02
  okay,
• 37:02
  if
• 37:02
  Leslie
• 37:03

  do
• 37:03
  it,
• 37:03
  I
• 37:03

• 37:03
  do
• 37:03
  it.
• 37:04
  Yeah.
• 37:04
  Yeah.
• 37:06
  Leslie.
• 37:07
  Was
• 37:07
  there
• 37:07
  a
• 37:07
  Ron
• 37:08
  Swanson
• 37:08
  in
• 37:08
  the
• 37:08

• 38:02
  seven
• 38:03

  So

  Okay.
• 38:07
  Hard
• 38:07
  sell
• 38:08
  you.
• 38:09
  Why
• 38:09
  do
• 38:09
  you
• 38:10
  need
• 38:10
  to
• 38:10
  be
• 38:10
  the
• 38:11
  representative
• 38:12
  for
• 38:12
  South
• 38:12
  Carolina's
• 38:13
  House
• 38:13
  Seat
• 38:13
  113?
• 38:15
  I
• 38:15
  need
• 38:15
  to
• 38:15
  be
• 38:16
  the
• 38:16
  representative
• 38:16
  because
• 38:17
  I
• 38:17
  have
• 38:18
  been
• 38:18
  showing
• 38:18
  up
• 38:18
  and
• 38:18
  I'm
• 38:19
  going
• 38:19
  to
• 38:19
  continue
• 38:19
  to
• 38:19
  show
• 38:19
  up.
• 38:20
  I
• 38:20
  am
• 38:20
  a
• 38:21
  strong
• 38:21
  Democrat.
• 38:22
  And
• 38:23
  also
• 38:24
  what
• 38:24
  makes
• 38:24
  me
• 38:24
  unique
• 38:25
  is
• 38:25
  that
• 38:25
  I
• 38:26
  support
• 38:26
  other
• 38:26
  Democrats.
• 38:27
  I've
• 38:27
  helped
• 38:27
  so
• 38:28
  many
• 38:28
  others
• 38:28
  run
• 38:28
  their
• 38:29
  campaigns.
• 38:29
  I
• 38:30
  will
• 38:30
  do
• 38:30
  what
• 38:30
  I
• 38:31
  can
• 38:31
  to
• 38:31
  get
• 38:31
  other
• 38:32
  Democrats
• 38:32
  elected,
• 38:33
  especially
• 38:33
  in
• 38:34
  the
• 38:35
  more
• 38:35
  redder
• 38:36
  parts
• 38:36
  of
• 38:36
  our
• 38:36
  state.
• 38:37
  I
• 38:37
  think
• 38:37
  that
• 38:38
  this
• 38:38
  is
• 38:38
  a
• 38:39
  safe
• 38:39
  blue
• 38:39
  seat.
• 38:40
  I
• 38:40
  am
• 38:40
  going
• 38:41
  to
• 38:41
  have
• 38:41
  incumbency
• 38:41
  when
• 38:42
  I
• 38:42
  win,
• 38:42
  but
• 38:42
  I'm
• 38:42
  not
• 38:43
  just
• 38:43
  going
• 38:43
  to
• 38:43
  be,
• 38:43
  you
• 38:43
  know,
• 38:44
  a
• 38:44
  fat,
• 38:44
  happy
• 38:44
  cat.
• 38:45
  I'm
• 38:45
  going
• 38:45
  to
• 38:45
  be
• 38:45
  out
• 38:45
  there
• 38:46
  doing
• 38:46
  the
• 38:46
  work
• 38:46
  to
• 38:47
  help
• 38:47
  others
• 38:47
  because
• 38:48
  I
• 38:48
  won't
• 38:48
  be
• 38:48
  able
• 38:48
  to
• 38:49
  get
• 38:49
  anything
• 38:49
  done
• 38:50
  without
• 38:50
  the
• 38:50
  support
• 38:51
  of
• 38:51
  a
• 38:51
  Democratic
• 38:52
  delegation.
• 38:53
  And
• 38:53
  so
• 38:54
  I
• 38:54
  will
• 38:54
  be
• 38:55
  working
• 38:55
  with
• 38:55
  sedp.
• 38:56
  You
• 38:56
  know,
• 38:57
  as
• 38:57
  new
• 38:57
  leadership
• 38:58
  comes
• 38:58
  and
• 38:58
  goes,
• 38:58
  I'll
• 38:59
  be
• 38:59
  working
• 38:59
  with
• 38:59
  those
• 38:59
  leaders
• 39:00
  to
• 39:00
  get
• 39:00
  things
• 39:00
  done.
• 39:01
  But
• 39:02
  I
• 39:02
  really
• 39:02
  have
• 39:02
  a
• 39:02
  heart
• 39:02
  for
• 39:03
  the
• 39:03
  needs
• 39:03
  of
• 39:03
  the
• 39:03
  community.
• 39:04
  I
• 39:04
  really
• 39:04
  want
• 39:04
  to
• 39:05
  see
• 39:05
  affordable
• 39:05
  housing
• 39:06
  become
• 39:06
  at
• 39:07
  the
• 39:07
  forefront,
• 39:07
  along
• 39:07
  with
• 39:08
  childcare
• 39:08
  and
• 39:08
  paid
• 39:09
  maternity
• 39:09
  leave.
• 39:10
  And
• 39:10
  I
• 39:10
  want
• 39:11
  to
• 39:11
  address
• 39:11
  the
• 39:12
  lack
• 39:12
  of
• 39:12
  OB
• 39:12
  GYNs
• 39:13
  we
• 39:13
  have
• 39:14
  in
• 39:14
  South
• 39:14
  Carolina.
• 39:15
  Like,
• 39:15
  there's
• 39:15
  so
• 39:15
  much
• 39:15
  work
• 39:16
  that
• 39:16
  needs
• 39:16
  to
• 39:16
  be
• 39:16
  done
• 39:17
  and
• 39:17
  I
• 39:18
  have
• 39:18
  the
• 39:18
  energy
• 39:19
  and
• 39:19
  the
• 39:19
  time
• 39:19
  to
• 39:20
  do
• 39:20
  it.
• 39:20
  And
• 39:21
  that's
• 39:21
  why
• 39:21
  people
• 39:21
  should
• 39:21
  vote
• 39:21
  for
• 39:22
  me.
• 39:22
  Excellent.

  Michelle4sc.com
• 39:25
  all
• 39:25
  right,
• 39:25
  Michelle,
• 39:26
  we
• 39:26
  are
• 39:26
  going
• 39:26
  to
• 39:27
  get
• 39:27
  into
• 39:27
  your
• 39:27
  seven
• 39:28
  questions.
• 39:28
  Okay,
• 39:29
  so
• 39:30
  these
• 39:30
  are
• 39:30
  basically
• 39:31
  questions
• 39:31
  that
• 39:31
  we
• 39:31
  get
• 39:31
  to
• 39:32
  ask
• 39:32
  our
• 39:32
  guests,
• 39:33
  that
• 39:33
  every
• 39:34
  guest
• 39:34
  gets
• 39:34
  to
• 39:34
  hear
• 39:34
  them.
• 39:35
  And
• 39:35
  for
• 39:35
  some
• 39:35
  reason,
• 39:35
  none
• 39:35
  of
• 39:36
  them
• 39:36
  seem
• 39:36
  to
• 39:36
  know
• 39:36
  anything
• 39:36
  about
• 39:37
  it.
• 39:37
  It's
• 39:37
  like
• 39:39
  we
• 39:39
  surprise
• 39:40
  them.
• 39:40
  All
• 39:40
  right,
• 39:41
  first
• 39:41
  question.
• 39:42
  What
• 39:43
  was
• 39:43
  the
• 39:43
  last
• 39:43
  thing
• 39:43
  that
• 39:44
  you
• 39:44
  googled?
• 39:49
  Bonus
• 39:49
  points.
• 39:49
  It
• 39:49
  was
• 39:50
  the
• 39:50
  All
• 39:50
  About
• 39:50
  Nothing
• 39:50
  podcast.
• 39:51
  No,
• 39:51
  I'm
• 39:51
  just
• 39:51
  kidding.
• 39:52
  I
• 39:52
  googled.
• 39:53
  What
• 39:53
  does
• 39:54
  right
• 39:54
  to
• 39:54
  work
• 39:54
  state
• 39:54
  mean?
• 39:56
  They
• 39:57
  can
• 39:57
  fire
• 39:57
  you
• 39:57
  at
• 39:57
  any
• 39:57
  time
• 39:58
  for
• 39:58
  any
• 39:58
  reason.
• 39:58
  It's
• 39:59
  great.
• 40:01
  It's
• 40:01
  a
• 40:01
  weird
• 40:02
  play
• 40:02
  on
• 40:02
  words.
• 40:02
  They
• 40:02
  seem
• 40:03
  to
• 40:03
  have
• 40:03
  come
• 40:03
  up
• 40:03
  with
• 40:03
  this,
• 40:03
  right?
• 40:04
  I
• 40:04
  was
• 40:04
  like,
• 40:05
  that
• 40:05
  sounds
• 40:06
  interesting,
• 40:06
  but
• 40:06
  it's
• 40:07
  not.
• 40:08
  So
• 40:08
  I
• 40:08
  wanted
• 40:08
  to
• 40:09
  make
• 40:09
  sure
• 40:09
  I
• 40:09
  understood
• 40:09
  what
• 40:10
  it
• 40:10
  meant.
• 40:10
  Yeah.
• 40:10
  What
• 40:10
  it
• 40:11
  really
• 40:11
  Means
• 40:11
  is
• 40:11
  right
• 40:11
  to
• 40:11
  fire
• 40:12
  is
• 40:13
  essentially
• 40:13
  what
• 40:13
  that
• 40:13
  means.
• 40:14
  We
• 40:14
  can
• 40:14
  let
• 40:14
  you
• 40:14
  go
• 40:15
  for
• 40:15
  no
• 40:15
  reason.
• 40:16
  Yeah.
• 40:17
  All
• 40:17
  right,
• 40:17
  question.
• 40:18
  If
• 40:18
  you
• 40:18
  could
• 40:19
  have
• 40:19
  one
• 40:19
  superpower,
• 40:20
  what
• 40:20
  would
• 40:20
  it
• 40:20
  be?
• 40:23
  Teleportation.
• 40:24
  Because
• 40:24
  I'm
• 40:25
  always
• 40:25
  like,
• 40:25
  God,
• 40:26
  you're
• 40:26
  like.
• 40:26
  The
• 40:26
  fifth
• 40:27
  person
• 40:27
  in
• 40:27
  a
• 40:27
  row.
• 40:28
  Yeah,
• 40:28
  like,
• 40:29
  everybody
• 40:30
  wants
• 40:30
  teleportation.
• 40:32
  What
• 40:32
  was
• 40:32
  yours
• 40:33
  again,
• 40:33
  Zach?
• 40:34
  Mine
• 40:35
  was
• 40:35
  flight.
• 40:35
  I
• 40:35
  just
• 40:35
  want
• 40:35
  to
• 40:35
  fly,
• 40:36
  bro.
• 40:36
  Just
• 40:37
  flight.
• 40:37
  Did
• 40:37
  you
• 40:37
  get
• 40:38
  shot
• 40:38
  down?
• 40:39
  I'm
• 40:39
  not
• 40:39
  going
• 40:39
  to.
• 40:40
  I'm
• 40:40
  not
• 40:40
  seeing.
• 40:40
  Aliens
• 40:41
  will

  right,
• 41:31
  question
• 41:32
  number

  If
