[00:01:37] IN THE OLD DAYS. AND I JUST
[00:01:40] THOUGHT HE WOULD BE A GOOD PERSON TO TALK TO AS WE AS WE
[00:01:44] APPROACH LABOR DAY ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. CHRIS RUDDY FROM
[00:01:48] NEWSMAX. THANKS FOR BEING WITH
[00:01:48] US HERE ON THE HOWIE CARR SHOW
[00:01:52] >> HOWIE, GREAT TO BE ON. I WILL ONLY QUALIFY THAT BY SAYING YOU
[00:01:56] SAID WE WERE ONE OF THE CABLE NEWS. WE'RE THE ONLY CABLE NEWS
[00:01:59] CHANNEL IN AMERICA THAT
[00:02:03] REPRESENTS AMERICA. SO WE'LL JUST SAY WE'RE THE ONLY ONE FROM NOW ON.
[00:02:06] >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
[00:02:08] HEY, CHRIS, MY FIRST QUESTION FOR YOU. YOU. YOU USED TO, UH,
[00:02:11] STAY IN PRETTY CLOSE CONTACT WITH, UH, LINDSEY GRAHAM. HE
[00:02:14] WOULD CALL YOU AT NIGHT. AND YOU, YOU KNEW HIM. WHAT DO YOU
[00:02:18] THINK'S GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT IN THIS, UH, IN THIS RUNOFF IN
[00:02:21] SOUTH CAROLINA? THE LATEST POLL
[00:02:23] I SAW, THE RALPH NORMAN AND, UH,
[00:02:27] DARLINE GRAHAM NORDEN WERE WITHIN ONE TENTH OF A POINT.
[00:02:30] WHAT DO YOU THINK'S GOING TO
[00:02:35] HAPPEN? >> WELL, I'M HEARING THAT IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD FOR RALPH
[00:02:37] NORMAN, AND I'M, UH. I DON'T KNOW HIS SISTER. I NEVER MET HER
[00:02:41] BEFORE. I KNEW LINDSEY VERY
[00:02:42] WELL. I KNEW HIM FOR 20 YEARS, ALMOST. AND, UM, I SUPPORTED
[00:02:46] HIM. I THOUGHT HE WAS A GREAT SENATOR. I DIDN'T AGREE WITH
[00:02:49] EVERYTHING HE STOOD FOR, BUT I LIKED. I SUPPORT ISRAEL, FOR
[00:02:53] INSTANCE, NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES. I THOUGHT HE WAS GREAT
[00:02:55] ON THOSE. AND, UM, I'M
[00:02:59] DISAPPOINTED THAT THE SISTER WAS
[00:03:01] PICKED, UM, LARGELY JUST BECAUSE
[00:03:05] SHE'S A SISTER AND SHE, SHE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC LIFE AND
[00:03:09] DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE, ANY POLITICAL RECORD OF SUPPORTING
[00:03:13] CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES AND CAUSES. AND SHE'S GOING TO BE IN
[00:03:15] A SENATE SEAT FOR THE NEXT 20
[00:03:17] YEARS. LIKE, I
[00:03:20] >> WINS, IF, IF SHE WINS TONIGHT, SHE'S GOING TO WIN TONIGHT, THOUGH, YOU KNOW,
[00:03:24] THAT'S THE THAT'S THE THING I AND, AND, AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE
[00:03:28] DID. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE WAY HE IS. I
[00:03:30] MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN SHE HAD THAT DISASTROUS DEBATE PERFORMANCE LAST WEEK, HE
[00:03:34] DIDN'T CANCEL OR ANYTHING. HE JUST HE STILL WENT DOWN THERE
[00:03:37] AND, UH, YOU KNOW, GAVE A GREAT SPEECH IN MYRTLE BEACH TRYING TO
[00:03:40] PUSH HER OVER THE TOP
[00:03:43] >> WELL, IT WAS NEWSMAX'S DEBATE, BY THE WAY, WE HAVE
[00:03:47] GRETA WAS WITH NEWSMAX, AND WE ASKED THE QUESTION. SHE DIDN'T
[00:03:50] KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TAIWAN. I MEAN, THAT'S A LITTLE UNUSUAL. IT'S A IT'S A BIG ISSUE IN THE
[00:03:54] NEWS, A LOT LIKE, SO IT WOULD SHOW THAT SHE'S NOT TRACKING
[00:03:58] NEWS THAT MUCH. >> YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S. >> IT SEEMS I'M HOPING THE
[00:04:01] BEST. BUT THEY'RE SAYING THE
[00:04:03] POLLING DATA OUT THAT WE HAVE ON
[00:04:07] NEWSMAX.COM RIGHT NOW IS THAT IT'S NECK AND NECK BETWEEN HER
[00:04:10] AND RALPH NORMAN. >> YEAH. AND, AND SHE ALSO
[00:04:13] DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE POPULATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA WAS. THAT DIDN'T GET AS MUCH PLAY, BUT
[00:04:16] THAT SEEMED KIND OF DISTURBING THAT SHE THOUGHT THERE WERE
[00:04:19] THAT. SHE SAID THERE WERE 50 MILLION PEOPLE IN SOUTH KOREA. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
[00:04:23] MOVING DOWN FROM THE NORTHEAST,
[00:04:23] BUT I DIDN'T UH, PACT OF A
[00:04:30] STATE, YOU KNOW. >> IT'S, UM, I THINK, I THINK SHE SEEMS LIKE A NICE LADY.
[00:04:34] SHE'S SINCERE. RIGHT. BUT SHE SAYS THE REPUBLICANS NEED TO
[00:04:37] TALK MORE ABOUT HEALTH CARE AND
[00:04:40] EDUCATION ACCESS. OKAY. FAIR ISSUES IN A GENERAL ELECTION,
[00:04:44] THAT'S NOT USUALLY WHAT OUR MAIN PRIORITIES OF THE CONSERVATIVE.
[00:04:48] LIKE A TYPICAL CONSERVATIVE. SO IT MAKES YOU WONDER. AND SHE
[00:04:51] SAID HER BROTHER TALKED TOO MUCH
[00:04:54] ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY. UM, SO I, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK THE
[00:04:57] PRESIDENT SOMETIMES MAKES THESE DECISIONS, UH, AS I'VE TOLD HIM
[00:05:01] BEFORE, HE DOESN'T I THINK HE
[00:05:05] BATS A LOT HIGHER THAN MOST OF US. RIGHT. BUT HE DOESN'T ALWAYS
[00:05:07] BAT A THOUSAND ON THESE. UM, I DIDN'T ENDORSE EITHER
[00:05:11] CANDIDATE. I, I THOUGHT RUSSELL FRY, THE CONGRESSMAN, WAS THE
[00:05:14] BEST CHOICE >> WAS THE YOUNGEST ONE. RIGHT.
[00:05:18] HE WAS THE, HE WAS, HE'D BE THERE FOR THE, FOR THE DURATION.
[00:05:21] AND, UH, AND HE'S NOT, HE'S.
[00:05:24] YEAH. BUT I, I. >> HE'S A TRUMP GUY. HE'S A
[00:05:27] STRONG GUY, STRONG CONSERVATIVE,
[00:05:30] LIKE, HEY, YOU GET THIS GUY IN THERE. AND HE'S BEEN A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE PRESIDENT. UM,
[00:05:34] BUT I THINK THE PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE. I HOPEFULLY
[00:05:38] DARLINE WILL WORK OUT IF SHE WINS. BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE
[00:05:42] SEEING SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN THAT JUST AREN'T LIKE, COMPLETELY CLEAR WHAT'S GOING
[00:05:46] ON, RIGHT? >> YEAH. WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEW PRESS SECRETARY? YOU
[00:05:50] KNOW, PEOPLE ARE SPECULATING. UH, THIS IS, I GUESS, KAROLINE LEAVITT'S LAST WEEK, AND SHE
[00:05:53] WAS GREAT. AND, UH, YOU KNOW,
[00:05:56] SHE, SHE WAS, UH, SHE'S A GOOD NEW HAMPSHIRE GIRL AND, UH,
[00:05:59] LIVES IN, LIVES IN SOUTH FLORIDA, LIKE YOU AND I DO IN THE WINTER. UH, WHO DO YOU THINK
[00:06:03] IS GOING TO TAKE HER PLACE? >> WHAT ABOUT HOWIE CARR? DO YOU
[00:06:07] THINK HE WOULD BE WILLING TO LEAVE BOSTON TO GO THERE?
[00:06:10] >> UH, LIKE. LIKE WILLIAM
[00:06:12] TECUMSEH SHERMAN, UH, IF, UH, IF NOMINATED, I WILL NOT RUN. IF
[00:06:15] ELECTED, I WILL NOT SERVE. BUT
[00:06:18] IT'S, YOU KNOW, I HOW ABOUT SCOTT JENNINGS? DO YOU THINK
[00:06:21] THAT'S SERIOUS OR NOT? >> I THINK HE'S BEING
[00:06:25] CONSIDERED. I THINK HE'S A STRONG, CONSERVATIVE, GOOD GUY.
[00:06:29] I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO, TO,
[00:06:31] TO QUESTION HIM I, I, THE
[00:06:35] PRESIDENT'S SORT OF SOMEBODY
[00:06:39] LIKES IT'S ON TV, I THINK, OR SURPRISED PEOPLE ON THIS. HE
[00:06:43] LOVES GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF IT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE PICKING
[00:06:47] THE WINNER IN THE APPRENTICE SHOW. RIGHT? >> YEAH. >> AND SEEING WHO'S GOING TO GET
[00:06:49] FIRED AND WHO'S GOING TO WIN.
[00:06:53] SO STAY IN. SO, UM, HE LIKES IT. UM, BUT I THINK AT THE END OF
[00:06:57] THE DAY, YOU KNOW, THE MESSAGING OF THE WHITE HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN SO GREAT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT
[00:07:00] HAS A REALLY GOOD TRACK RECORD, BUT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT. LIKE
[00:07:04] THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ALL
[00:07:06] THE SUCCESSES >> GETS, HE SEEMS TO GET OFF
[00:07:10] THE, OFF THE RAILS SOMETIME, LIKE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING THE
[00:07:13] NAME OF LAKE ONTARIO. I MEAN, THAT'S A, THAT'S KIND OF A
[00:07:15] CRAZY THING TO, TO BE TALKING
[00:07:17] ABOUT, ISN'T IT
[00:07:20] >> WELL, THE PRESIDENT LIKES HE'S LIKE STREAM OF
[00:07:23] CONSCIOUSNESS, RIGHT? HE GETS SO
[00:07:26] THE JOB OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS
[00:07:29] SECRETARY, BUT ALSO THE TEAM AT THE WHITE HOUSE IS MAKING SURE
[00:07:32] THAT THERE'S COORDINATED MESSAGING. WE FIND, LIKE A LOT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, PEOPLE
[00:07:36] DON'T GO ON THE TV SHOWS, LIKE,
[00:07:39] OCCASIONAL SECRETARY WILL COME ON FROM THE CABINET. THEY DON'T
[00:07:42] GO ON THERE AND TOLD NOT TO GO ON BY THE WHITE HOUSE. AND THEN
[00:07:45] NONE OF THEIR JUNIOR STAFFERS, SOME OF THEM THAT THEIR JOB IS
[00:07:48] COMMUNICATIONS DON'T GO ON ANY SHOWS. YOU PROBABLY FIND IT'S
[00:07:52] HARD TO GET THEM TO COME ON, AND IT'S IN. FRANKLY, I'VE NEVER
[00:07:56] HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT. YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT
[00:07:59] THE ADMINISTRATION ON PODCASTS, RADIO SHOWS, TV. LIKE WHAT?
[00:08:02] WHAT'S GOING ON THERE? ARE THEY THINKING STRAIGHT OVER THERE?
[00:08:06] AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE, WE'VE HAD THIS, I'VE ACTUALLY WRITTEN ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT NEW. I'VE
[00:08:10] SAID, LIKE, THEY DON'T GET THEIR MESSAGE OUT BECAUSE THEY DON'T
[00:08:12] PUT ANYONE >> SOMEONE JUST TEXTED IN AND
[00:08:15] SAYS, CAN YOU PLEASE ASK CHRIS
[00:08:16] IF HE CAN GET NEWSMAX ON SIRIUS?
[00:08:20] HE WANTS TO, HE WANTS TO BE ABLE TO WATCH, UH, LISTEN TO THE
[00:08:23] SHOW. LIKE, LIKE FOX IS ON. UH,
[00:08:25] WELL, I THINK ALL THE OTHER, ALL
[00:08:27] THE OTHER, UH, MAJOR CABLE STATIONS ARE ON XM. SERIOUS. ARE
[00:08:30] YOU, ARE YOU IS NEWSMAX ON?
[00:08:35] >> SO THEY HAVE TEN LIBERAL
[00:08:38] LEANING TO A 12 INFORMATION CHANNELS LIBERAL AND THEY HAVE
[00:08:41] FOX. AND MAYBE THEY HAVE BREITBART PART TIME OR SOMETHING, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE
[00:08:44] NEWSMAX. THEY WON'T PUT US ON. WE'VE ASKED THEM MANY TIMES,
[00:08:47] THEY WON'T PUT US ON. I THINK, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T TELL YOU THE
[00:08:50] REASON. I'M GUESSING THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, WITH 12 LIBERAL
[00:08:53] STATIONS, THERE'S A BIAS THERE. AND WHAT I SUGGEST IS I USED TO HAVE SIRIUS XM. I DON'T LISTEN
[00:08:57] TO THEM ANYMORE. I LISTEN TO AM OR I LISTEN TO NEWSMAX ON MY
[00:09:00] APP. RIGHT. AND I DON'T, I DON'T PAY THE FEE, I JUST DON'T.
[00:09:04] >> WELL, FADING. THEY'RE, YOU
[00:09:07] KNOW, SIRIUS XM IS, IS THEY'VE LOST A LOT OF, UH, POWER,
[00:09:11] ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE GOING TO BLUETOOTH, SPOTIFY, WHATEVER,
[00:09:14] YOU KNOW, IN THE CAR. SO YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO PUT YOU GUYS ON JUST TO, UH, YOU KNOW,
[00:09:18] JUST TO HAVE ANOTHER ATTRACTION
[00:09:20] TO GET PEOPLE, UH, TO, TO, TO PAY THE SUBSCRIPTION.
[00:09:24] >> 50 MILLION PEOPLE. WE REACH ABOUT 50 MILLION PEOPLE
[00:09:27] REGULARLY. SO YOU THINK LIKE, HEY, WE WOULD GET MORE
[00:09:31] SUBSCRIPTIONS THAN, THAN ANY COST. WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT US
[00:09:34] ON. SO BUT THE LIBERALS DON'T
[00:09:36] MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON POINTS
[00:09:42] OF VIEW. BUT WE'RE BYPASSING THEM. I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE
[00:09:46] THE GUY THAT ASKED THE QUESTION
[00:09:47] AND OTHERS. DOWNLOAD THE FREE
[00:09:52] NEWSMAX APP FROM YOUR IPHONE OR ANDROID. NEWSMAX. IT'S FREE IN

[00:10:09] >> WE ARE, WE ARE.
[00:10:11] >> 15 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE
[00:10:15] DOWNLOADED THE APP. >> YEAH. ANDREW SAYS, I HOPE IT'S SCOTT JENNINGS. IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAT IT'D TAKE HALF
[00:10:19] OF CNN'S RATINGS WITH THEM. AND THEN, THEN, THEN HE'S NOW. AND
[00:10:21] WHEN HE'S DONE, GO TO 60 MINUTES AND OFF THE LIBS THERE.
[00:10:25] I. BUT I DON'T THINK I THINK SCOTT JENNINGS, YOU KNOW, HE WAS A, HE WAS A, YOU KNOW, A GUY, AN
[00:10:28] AIDE TO MCCONNELL. HE'S NEVER MADE THE BIG MONEY. HE'S NOW
[00:10:32] MAKING THE BIG MONEY. I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO. I DON'T THINK HE WANTS TO GO TO THE
[00:10:35] WHITE HOUSE. I MEAN, IT'S IT WAS A GREAT JOB FOR CAROLINE. IT WAS
[00:10:38] A, YOU KNOW, A GREAT MOVE UP. BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, FOR A GUY LIKE SCOTT JENNINGS, IT WOULD BE
[00:10:42] A. IT WOULD IT WOULD COST HIM
[00:10:44] MONEY TO GO THERE. >> YEP. AND, CAROLINE, YOU
[00:10:48] DISCOVERED CAROLINE, I BELIEVE, RIGHT. YOU PUT HER ON RADIO, DIDN'T YOU? >> YEAH. I, I, YOU KNOW, SHE,
[00:10:52] SHE HAD RUN FOR CONGRESS, BUT WE
[00:10:54] PUT HER ON RADIO. YEAH. SHE'S, SHE'S FANTASTIC. AND.
[00:10:58] >> I REMEMBER GETTING A CALL FROM A GUY NAMED HOWIE CARR
[00:11:01] SAYING, A PERSON YOU GOT TO HAVE ON NEWSMAX. WE HAD CAROLINE AS A
[00:11:05] PAID CONTRIBUTOR ON NEWSMAX. YOU REMEMBER THOSE YEARS. FOX
[00:11:09] WOULDN'T HAVE CAROLINE ON. SHE
[00:11:11] WAS BANNED. THE PRO-TRUMP PEOPLE
[00:11:14] WERE BANNED FROM FOX. >> RIGHT. >> AND CAROLINE GOT THE
[00:11:17] ATTENTION OF THE PRESIDENT BEING ON NEWSMAX, WHICH WE'RE GLAD.
[00:11:20] AND SO SHE WENT ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS. BUT IT SHOWS YOU
[00:11:23] NEWSMAX CAN HAVE A REAL IMPACT WITH THESE GREAT PERSONALITIES
[00:11:26] AND PEOPLE, AND WE'RE PUTTING PEOPLE ON. THE PUT ON.
[00:11:30] >> YEAH. AND, AND, UH, YEAH, I MEAN, KEVIN MCCARTHY, UH, YOU
[00:11:34] KNOW, WHO WAS, WASN'T A BAD GUY, BUT HE TRIED TO KNOCK HER OFF
[00:11:37] WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING IN THE PRIMARY, EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS RUNNING AGAINST A GUY WHO
[00:11:40] WASN'T EVEN FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND THEY SPENT $10 MILLION TO
[00:11:43] DUST HER UP, YOU KNOW? SO YOU'RE RIGHT. I MEAN, THE, UH, SHE
[00:11:47] NEVER FIT IN. I THINK NOW SHE FITS IN WITH THE FOX PEOPLE. THEY, THEY LOVE HER. BUT, YOU
[00:11:50] KNOW, FOX GOES WITH A WINNER, DON'T THEY? I MEAN, THAT'S,
[00:11:54] THAT'S ONE THING WE BOTH LEARNED FROM WORKING FOR RUPERT MURDOCH, ISN'T IT? WELL.
[00:11:57] >> THEY, THEY GO WITH WINNERS AND THEN THEY DECIDE YOU'RE NOT A WINNER AND THEY DON'T HAVE YOU
[00:12:01] ON ANYMORE. I MEAN, THEY OPPOSE
[00:12:04] THE PRESIDENT IN 16 AND 20 AND
[00:12:06] 24. THEY FROZE OUT HIM AND HIS FAMILY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ON
[00:12:09] FOX. THEY WOULDN'T COVER ANY OF
[00:12:11] THE RALLIES. SO, YOU KNOW,
[00:12:14] NEWSMAX IS CONSISTENT. AND AND I CAN TELL YOU, WE'RE GOING TO REMAIN CONSISTENT NO MATTER
[00:12:18] WHAT. >> WHAT HAPPENED TO TUCKER CARLSON? WHAT'S YOUR THEORY?
[00:12:20] CHRIS RUDDY
[00:12:24] >> WELL, I NEVER TALKED TO A PSYCHIATRIST TO UNDERSTAND
[00:12:26] EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. IT'S A JOKE.
[00:12:29] >> I GOT. I GOT IT, I
[00:12:33] >> BUT, YOU KNOW, I, I LOOK,
[00:12:36] TUCKER WAS A GOD FOR
[00:12:39] CONSERVATIVES AND TREMENDOUS
[00:12:41] FORCE EVER SINCE LEAVING FOX. FOX. HE WAS GETTING A LITTLE
[00:12:45] WEIRD, I THOUGHT, ON THE UKRAINE STUFF AND THE PRO-RUSSIA STUFF.
[00:12:49] AND I DISAGREED WITH HIM. BUT OVERALL, I WOULD SAY HE WAS
[00:12:52] GOOD, GREAT. BUT HE THEN LEAVES.
[00:12:54] AND, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN THE UFOS
[00:12:58] AND THE JEWISH CONSPIRACIES, THE ANTI-SEMITISM STUFF SCARES THE
[00:13:01] HELL OUT OF ME, BECAUSE WE KNOW
[00:13:04] THE DANGER, ANTI-SEMITISM POSES. I'M A CATHOLIC, YOU'RE A
[00:13:08] CATHOLIC. YEAH. WE KNOW THE END OF THE DAY. YOU KNOW, THE NAZIS
[00:13:11] KILLED THE JEWS FIRST. BUT WHEN THEY WENT INTO POLAND, THEY
[00:13:15] ROUNDED UP ALL THE PRIESTS, AND THEY KILLED 5000 PRIESTS. >> YEAH.
[00:13:18] >> THEY WERE A THREAT TO THE
[00:13:20] STATE. SO, LIKE, DO YOU REALLY WANT THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE RUNNING THINGS?
[00:13:24] >> IT NEVER ENDS.
[00:13:27] >> THERE'S SOME POSITIVE >> IT NEVER ENDS WITH THE JEWS.
[00:13:30] THAT'S THE LESSON OF HISTORY. AND, UH, THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T
[00:13:34] SEEM TO, TO UNDERSTAND THAT. SO, UH. CHRIS RUDDY I WILL, UH, I'LL
[00:13:37] SEE YOU WHEN WE GET DOWN TO FLORIDA AGAIN IN THE, UH, IN THE
[00:13:40] FALL. AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD, GOOD TO TALK TO YOU. AND,
[00:13:43] UH, I LIKE BEING ON WITH, UH, BIANCA EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
[00:13:47] EVERY WEEK OR SO. >> WELL, WE LOVE HAVING YOU ON. ANYTIME YOU WANT TO BE ON. AND I
[00:13:51] WOULD SAY TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO BE COVERING THE SOUTH
[00:13:55] CAROLINA RESULTS LIVE ON NEWSMAX. SO CHECK US OUT ON

[00:29:03] OTHER SCHOOLS THAT DON'T, DON'T
[00:29:06] WANT TO PLAY BALL IN RETURN FOR FEDERAL FUNDS. ARE YOU, UH, ARE
[00:29:10] YOU HAVING ANY LUCK WHATSOEVER WITH, UH, NEGOTIATING WITH SOME
[00:29:14] OF THE SO-CALLED ELITE SCHOOLS?
[00:29:16] >> UH, YES. HOWIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M SO GLAD YOU STARTED
[00:29:20] WITH THAT. I, I ASSUMED THAT, THAT YOUR LISTENERS WOULD HAVE A
[00:29:23] KEEN INTEREST IN, IN THE ADMINISTRATION'S WORK WITH
[00:29:27] REGARD TO HARVARD. AND I'M SO PROUD TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE WE
[00:29:30] HAVE WORKED EXTENSIVELY TO
[00:29:32] PROTECT HARVARD STUDENTS FROM
[00:29:34] DISCRIMINATION, UH, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE SUPREME COURT'S
[00:29:38] RECENT DECISION IN THE STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS CASE, WHICH,
[00:29:41] OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW, FOUND
[00:29:45] SWEEPING RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN ADMISSIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
[00:29:47] UM, MY OFFICE, THE OFFICE THAT I
[00:29:50] GET TO OVERSEE IS ACTUALLY
[00:29:52] CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING HARVARD FOR CONTINUING TO ILLEGALLY
[00:29:55] CONSIDER RACE IN ADMISSIONS. UM,
[00:29:57] IN ADDITION TO CONTINUING ACTS
[00:30:00] OF, OF ANTI-SEMITISM. SO I AM
[00:30:04] CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING HARVARD, BUT AS YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST
[00:30:07] YEAR, THE ADMINISTRATION HAS
[00:30:10] FOUND HARVARD. UM, REPEATEDLY
[00:30:12] IN, IN IN VIOLATION OF CERTAIN
[00:30:15] PROVISIONS OF, OF FEDERAL LAW. BUT WE ARE STAYING COMMITTED,
[00:30:18] WE'RE STAYING FOCUSED. WE'RE GOING TO USE EVERY TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX TO PROTECT THE STUDENTS
[00:30:22] AT HARVARD FROM ONGOING DISCRIMINATION.
[00:30:25] >> NOW, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I DON'T FOLLOW THIS AS CLOSELY
[00:30:28] AS I SHOULD. BUT ISN'T ISN'T
[00:30:31] YALE JUST REALLY, GIVEN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THE FINGER
[00:30:34] AND EVERYBODY IN THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ARE SAYING, OH, YALE, WHAT A GREAT
[00:30:38] PLACE. AND HARVARD SHOULDN'T EVEN BE TRYING TO NEGOTIATE. IS
[00:30:42] THAT IS, IS THAT A FAIR, UH, DESCRIPTION OF THE SITUATION
[00:30:46] BETWEEN HARVARD AND YALE?
[00:30:48] >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE ENGAGED SO MUCH WITH YALE
[00:30:52] OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. HOWIE. UM, THERE HAVE DEFINITELY
[00:30:54] BEEN UPS. THERE HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN DOWNS, BUT WE ARE SEEING
[00:30:58] MOVEMENT. I'M, I'M, I'M PROUD OF THAT. UH, WE ARE FOCUSING ON
[00:31:01] CONTINUING TO ENFORCE THE LAW. AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
[00:31:05] DO THAT. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
[00:31:06] SURE THAT THESE SCHOOLS KNOW AND
[00:31:10] THAT THESE SCHOOLS UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER TITLE SIX, UNDER
[00:31:14] TITLE NINE, WHEN THE LAW SAYS YOU CANNOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE
[00:31:17] BASIS OF SEX, THAT MEANS BIOLOGICAL SEX. AND WHEN IT SAYS
[00:31:21] YOU CANNOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF RACE, THAT MEANS EVERY
[00:31:25] RACE, UM, ANY RACE, COLOR, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN. SO WE ARE
[00:31:28] CERTAINLY SEEING MOVEMENT. AND
[00:31:30] THAT IS THANKS TO THE
[00:31:32] PRESIDENT'S LEADERSHIP AND TO SECRETARY MCMAHON'S LEADERSHIP.
[00:31:36] >> ALL RIGHT. NOW, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE CUDGEL THAT YOU
[00:31:39] HAVE, OBVIOUSLY IS CUTTING OFF FUNDS. BUT, YOU KNOW, THEN THEN
[00:31:43] THE, THE UNIVERSITIES LIKE HARVARD, THEY JUST GO TO THE
[00:31:47] COURTHOUSE IN BOSTON, WHERE, WHERE YOU HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE
[00:31:50] LIKE, UH, LIKE THE JUDGE WHO
[00:31:52] SAID HARVARD WASN'T
[00:31:54] DISCRIMINATING AGAINST WHITE AND ASIAN STUDENTS BACK IN THE BACK,
[00:31:58] YOU KNOW, SIX, SEVEN YEARS AGO, IT HAD TO GO TO THE SUPREME
[00:32:00] COURT. YOU, UH, YOU KEEP GETTING
[00:32:04] HAMSTRUNG BY THESE FEDERAL
[00:32:05] JUDGES, DON'T YOU
[00:32:09] >> CERTAINLY BEEN A CHALLENGE, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK OUR
[00:32:12] POSITION, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S POSITION, IS THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE LAW SAYS.
[00:32:15] WE KNOW DISCRIMINATION. UM, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ROOT
[00:32:19] IT OUT. AND, YOU KNOW, HOWIE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT
[00:32:22] WE'VE HAD TO DO IS REALLY STEP BACK AND EXAMINE ALL THE TOOLS
[00:32:25] THAT WE HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL. OF
[00:32:29] COURSE, YOU, YOU MENTIONED THE
[00:32:30] BIGGEST ONE, WHICH IS THE, THE
[00:32:33] ULTIMATE WITHHOLDING OF FEDERAL FUNDS, WHICH MEANS THAT, YOU
[00:32:36] KNOW, ONCE WE DO FIND A SCHOOL IN VIOLATION, WE TAKE THE
[00:32:40] APPROPRIATE STEPS, WE FOLLOW THE
[00:32:43] APPROPRIATE PROCESSES, AND WE
[00:32:45] ARE ULTIMATELY ABLE TO, TO WITHHOLD FUNDS. BUT WE ALSO HAVE
[00:32:49] OTHER TOOLS. AND, YOU KNOW, LAST
[00:32:50] YEAR, I, ED THE DEPARTMENT OF
[00:32:54] EDUCATION ACTUALLY PLACED HARVARD ON HEIGHTENED CASH MONITORING. SO WE DO HAVE THESE
[00:32:57] OTHER TOOLS THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO USE, AND WE ARE
[00:33:01] GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE EVERY
[00:33:04] TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL TO HOLD SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABLE. >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, WE READ
[00:33:07] STORIES IN, IN PLACES LIKE THE
[00:33:09] BOSTON GLOBE, WHICH IS AN APOLOGIST FOR HARVARD, OBVIOUSLY. AND THEY SAY, OH,
[00:33:13] THE, THE SCHOOLS ARE HAVING TO CUT BACK ON THEIR ADMINISTRATORS
[00:33:16] BECAUSE OF THE REDUCTION IN FEDERAL FUNDS. AND LET ME TELL
[00:33:20] YOU, KIM RICHEY, I THINK YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS, BUT THAT
[00:33:23] MAKES, THAT MAKES MOST OF US VERY HAPPY. WHO VOTED FOR DONALD
[00:33:26] TRUMP, THAT THE. THERE. THERE
[00:33:30] ARE SO MANY MORE BUREAUCRATS AND ADMINISTRATORS THERE, MORE
[00:33:33] ADMINISTRATORS. NOW, IN MOST OF THESE SCHOOLS. AND THE MORE THE
[00:33:35] QUOTE, UNQUOTE ELITE THEY ARE, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS THERE'S
[00:33:38] MORE ADMINISTRATORS THAN THERE ARE FACULTY MEMBERS. IT'S
[00:33:41] CRAZY. PEOPLE WHO ARE TEACHING COURSES. IT'S CRAZY. THERE'S NO
[00:33:45] THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT FOR THIS. >> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
[00:33:49] YEAH. NO, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SEE ACROSS
[00:33:52] BOTH HIGHER ED AND K-12. HOWIE, AND SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW,
[00:33:55] THAT I KNOW STATES ARE CERTAINLY
[00:33:58] LOOKING AT, BUT THERE, THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE EDUCATIONAL
[00:34:02] INSTITUTIONS CAN CERTAINLY BE BE TOP HEAVY. AND OF COURSE, ONE OF
[00:34:05] THE THINGS THAT WE ADVOCATE FOR
[00:34:08] IS AS WE BELIEVE THAT THOSE CLOSEST TO THE STUDENT KNOW
[00:34:12] WHAT'S BEST FOR THOSE STUDENTS. AND SO WE CERTAINLY WANT TO SEE
[00:34:15] AS MANY RESOURCES AS POSSIBLE, GOING STRAIGHT TO STUDENTS,
[00:34:18] GOING STRAIGHT INTO THE CLASSROOM. AND, AND WE'RE, WE'RE
[00:34:21] GOING TO CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE THAT.
[00:34:25] >> HOW ABOUT AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FEDERAL POLICY CAN BE ABOUT THAT, BUT,
[00:34:29] YOU KNOW, THERE THERE ARE ALL THESE SURVEYS THAT ARE COMING
[00:34:32] OUT THAT THE, THE PERCENTAGE OF
[00:34:34] THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO THINK
[00:34:36] THAT A COLLEGE EDUCATION IS
[00:34:39] WORTH THE INVESTMENT IN TIME AND
[00:34:43] FINANCIAL RESOURCES IS LOWER THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN BEFORE IN
[00:34:45] THE HISTORY OF POLLING. AND WHAT
[00:34:49] I THINK I KNOW THE I KNOW WHY I THINK IT IS, BUT WHY DO YOU
[00:34:52] THINK THAT IS?
[00:34:54] >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THERE ARE THERE ARE HARD WORKING
[00:34:57] AMERICANS OUT THERE WHO ARE
[00:34:59] HAVING TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND REALLY EVALUATE WHAT. WHAT IS IT
[00:35:03] THAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY FUTURE? WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS
[00:35:06] THAT ARE GOING TO ALLOW ME TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS? AND, YOU KNOW,
[00:35:09] AS YOU INDICATED FROM THE
[00:35:13] POLLING, INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, STUDENTS ARE REALLY TAKING A STEP BACK AND SAYING, IS THAT
[00:35:17] DEGREE THAT I'M GOING TO WASTE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
[00:35:21] ON? IS THAT GOING TO GET ME?
[00:35:23] WHAT I WANT FOR MY FUTURE? IS THAT THE BEST PATH FORWARD? AND
[00:35:27] I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN HIGHER EDUCATION
[00:35:30] INSTITUTIONS MOVE SO FAR TO THE
[00:35:31] LEFT. AND SO, SO FAR TOWARDS,
[00:35:35] UM, YOU KNOW, TOWARDS INDOCTRINATION THAT, YOU KNOW,
[00:35:38] THAT, UH, PARENTS AND FAMILIES ARE JUST SAYING, IS THAT REALLY
[00:35:41] WHAT I WANT FOR MY STUDENT? DO I WANT TO SPEND THAT KIND OF
[00:35:44] MONEY? IS IT GOING TO GET ME THE JOB THAT I WANT TO GET? AND THEN
[00:35:47] ON TOP OF IT IS, IS, IS THE
[00:35:50] COLLEGE GOING, YOU KNOW, GOING TO BE PUSHING IDEOLOGIES THAT WE
[00:35:53] AS A FAMILY OR WE AS A, AS
[00:35:57] PARENTS OR STUDENTS JUST FLAT OUT DISAGREE WITH.
[00:36:00] >> YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE A LOT MORE PRIVATE SCHOOLS
[00:36:04] IN, UH, IN THE NORTHEAST THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, BUT
[00:36:07] THEY'RE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. AND THE MARGINAL ONES, THE
[00:36:11] SMALLER ONES, THE ONES WITH THE LESSER ENDOWMENTS, THE LESS
[00:36:15] PRESTIGIOUS ONES, THEY SEEM TO
[00:36:18] BE TOPPLING OVER AT AN EVER INCREASING RATE. I MEAN, HOW
[00:36:21] MANY, HOW MANY OF THESE COLLEGES DO YOU THINK ARE GOING TO BE AROUND IN 20? I MEAN, HOW MANY
[00:36:24] ARE GOING TO BE GONE IN 20
[00:36:26] YEARS? THE SMALLER PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
[00:36:29] >> YEAH, THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, HOWIE. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT I, I DON'T KNOW
[00:36:33] THAT I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY WENT TO A
[00:36:36] PRIVATE, UH, CHRISTIAN UNDERGRADUATE COLLEGE, ONLY HAD
[00:36:40] A COUPLE, YOU KNOW, 2 OR 3000 STUDENTS. UM, IT WAS A GREAT
[00:36:44] EDUCATION FOR ME. BUT AT THE END
[00:36:46] OF THE DAY, HIGHER ED IS GOING
[00:36:49] TO HAVE TO ADJUST AND FIGURE OUT WHETHER THEY ARE MEETING THE
[00:36:52] NEEDS OF THEIR CONSUMERS, WHETHER THEY'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF, OF CUSTOMERS. AND IF
[00:36:56] THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO, UM, TO ADJUST
[00:36:59] TO MAKE, MAKE THE RIGHT KIND OF
[00:37:02] CHANGES. AND FRANKLY, JUST JUSTIFY TO AMERICAN FAMILIES AND
[00:37:06] STUDENTS ABOUT WHY, WHY AN INVESTMENT IN THEIR INSTITUTION
[00:37:10] IS, IS, IS WORTH IT. >> WE'RE SPEAKING TO ASSISTANT
[00:37:13] SECRETARY FOR CIVIL RIGHTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, KIM
[00:37:17] RICHEY. WHAT ABOUT, UH, WHAT
[00:37:19] ABOUT TRANSGENDER ATHLETICS? I
[00:37:21] MEAN, IT'S STILL A, IT'S STILL
[00:37:24] A CONTENTIOUS ISSUE. UH, JUST IN
[00:37:27] MOST PLACES. UH, WHAT IS THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DOING TO
[00:37:30] PROTECT, UH, GIRLS RIGHTS IN,
[00:37:31] IN, IN BOTH, UH, HIGHER ED AND
[00:37:37] SECONDARY EDUCATION, ATHLETICS >> YEAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT QUESTION, HOWIE. YOU KNOW,
[00:37:40] ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF MY JOB IN GETTING TO
[00:37:44] OVERSEE THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS IS THAT OCR IS
[00:37:47] RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING TITLE NINE, WHICH, OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW, IS THE FEDERAL LAW THAT
[00:37:51] PROTECTS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN AND
[00:37:54] GIRLS. UM, I'M SO FORTUNATE THAT THIS IS MY THIRD TIME TO
[00:37:57] GET TO SERVE IN, IN OCR. AND
[00:38:00] WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
[00:38:03] LEADERSHIP AND UNDER SECRETARY MCMAHON'S LEADERSHIP, THIS IS
[00:38:06] THE MOST AGGRESSIVE TITLE. NINE
[00:38:09] ENFORCEMENT IN OCR HISTORY. AS YOU KNOW, THE PRIOR
[00:38:12] ADMINISTRATION GUTTED TITLE
[00:38:15] NINE, UM, INTERPRETED IN A WAY
[00:38:18] WHERE IT PROTECTED EVERYTHING
[00:38:20] OTHER THAN BIOLOGICAL SEX. AND
[00:38:24] SO WE ARE FULLY FOCUSED ON RESTORING TITLE NINE TO ENSURE THAT WOMEN AND GIRLS NOT ONLY
[00:38:28] HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION
[00:38:30] AND ATHLETICS, BUT THEY, THAT
[00:38:32] THEY HAVE ACCESS TO INTIMATE FACILITIES WHERE THEY'RE NOT
[00:38:36] FORCED TO CHANGE OR USE RESTROOMS IN FRONT OF, OF, OF
[00:38:39] BIOLOGICAL MEN. AND SO WE ARE
[00:38:41] GOING FULL FORCE. WE ARE
[00:38:45] FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL TO HOLD SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABLE. EVERY, YOU KNOW, FROM EVERYTHING FROM
[00:38:48] BRINGING, UM, YOU KNOW, FROM ENFORCEMENT AGAINST THE MAINE
[00:38:52] DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO, UH, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO HARVARD,
[00:38:55] HOW WE STARTED OUR, OUR, OUR
[00:38:58] CONVERSATION TODAY, WE ARE
[00:39:02] STARTING TO SEE MOVEMENT AND THE NCAA UPDATED ITS TRANSGENDER
[00:39:05] ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION POLICY TO LIMIT COMPETITION IN WOMEN'S
[00:39:09] SPORTS AND HARVARD AFTER THAT,
[00:39:10] THEN REMOVED ITS PRIOR
[00:39:13] TRANSGENDER INCLUSION POLICY FROM THE UNIVERSITY HANDBOOK. SO
[00:39:16] WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL TO
[00:39:19] PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN,
[00:39:23] WOMEN, AND GIRLS, UM, TO HAVE THAT EQUAL EDUCATIONAL
[00:39:26] OPPORTUNITY, THAT TITLE NINE AFFORDS THEM. >> DO YOU THINK CHARLIE BAKER,
[00:39:30] THE FORMER GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, WHO WAS QUITE A
[00:39:33] DISAPPOINTMENT THE STATE, ESPECIALLY IN HIS FINAL TERM, DO
[00:39:37] YOU THINK HE'S, UH, HE'S
[00:39:39] INTERESTED IN THE ISSUE OF, UH, PROTECTING WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND,
[00:39:42] UH, IN INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS
[00:39:45] AND THE NCAA.
[00:39:49] >> GREAT QUESTION. YOU KNOW, I, I, I WANT TO SAY AGAIN, WE WERE
[00:39:52] SO PLEASED THAT THAT THE NCAA
[00:39:54] DID UPDATE ITS TRANSGENDER
[00:39:57] ATHLETICS PARTICIPATION POLICY. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF SCHOOLS
[00:40:00] OUT THERE THAT ARE STILL ALLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO
[00:40:03] PARTICIPATE IN ATHLETICS BASED
[00:40:05] ON, UH, THEIR GENDER IDENTITY.
[00:40:08] AND THAT DEPRIVES WOMEN FROM
[00:40:13] ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIES. UM, AND SO WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
[00:40:15] FOCUS ON THAT. WE BELIEVE THAT
[00:40:18] TITLE NINE, UM, REQUIRES SCHOOLS
[00:40:21] TO PROVIDE ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR BIOLOGICAL
[00:40:25] FEMALES. AND WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO, TO, TO
[00:40:28] SECURE THEIR RIGHTS UNDER TITLE NINE. >> GREAT. AND IF PEOPLE THINK
[00:40:31] THAT THEIR, THEIR DAUGHTERS ARE, ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST
[00:40:35] EITHER IN, UH, EITHER IN THE, THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR IN
[00:40:38] COLLEGES, WHERE IS THERE A, IS
[00:40:41] THERE A WEBSITE THAT THEY CAN GO TO TO GET HELP FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OR FROM
[00:40:45] THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS? >> YES. HOWIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH
[00:40:48] FOR THAT QUESTION. UM, I JUST
[00:40:50] GOT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION YESTERDAY. UH, MY MESSAGE TO
[00:40:54] PARENTS IS, DO NOT WAIT. IF YOU
[00:40:56] BELIEVE THAT YOUR CHILD IS BEING
[00:40:58] DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, IF YOU BELIEVE THERE ARE BIOLOGICAL
[00:41:02] MALES IN YOUR DAUGHTER'S, UH, DRESSING ROOM OR LOCKER ROOM OR,
[00:41:05] OR RESTROOM, COME TO OCR. UH, IF
[00:41:09] YOU GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION'S WEBSITE, THERE IS
[00:41:12] AN OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS TAB, AND THERE IS A, THERE IS A LINK
[00:41:15] AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT PAGE THAT
[00:41:17] ALLOWS PARENTS TO FILE AN ELECTRONIC COMPLAINT ONLINE. UH,
[00:41:21] OCR IS GOING TO CONTINUE FIGHTING ON BEHALF OF, OF, OF
[00:41:24] WOMEN AND GIRLS. AND WE WANT THOSE COMPLAINTS. >> CAN YOU, CAN YOU SEND THAT
[00:41:28] TO, UH, TO JARED, MY PRODUCER,
[00:41:30] UH, SO WE CAN PUT A LINK UP. JUST TWEET, WE CAN TWEET IT OUT.
[00:41:34] SO PEOPLE CAN HAVE THAT IF THEY NEED IT, BECAUSE THEY, IT'S, IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN THIS
[00:41:38] STUFF HAPPENS AND YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO
[00:41:40] TURN, YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S,
[00:41:43] IT'S JUST, AND YOU'RE, YOUR KID IS, YOU KNOW, DEVASTATED, YOU
[00:41:46] KNOW, THE WAY IT IS. AND IT'S JUST, UH, IT WOULD BE NICE TO
[00:41:50] HAVE A PLACE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A PLACE TO GO. UH, SO
[00:41:51] SEND THAT TO JARED. IF YOU WOULD TALK TO JARED OFF THE AIR. UH,

[00:42:01] DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. WE APPRECIATE IT HERE ON THE HOWIE CARR SHOW.

[00:46:16] DO YOU EVER SAY TO YOURSELF, UH, YOU EVER DAYDREAM, YOU EVER LOSE
[00:46:19] YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT? YOU'RE, YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT, OR YOU JUST TUNNEL VISIONED ON WHAT
[00:46:23] YOU'RE WRITING? >> I DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. I TUNNEL VISION, AND I LET MY
[00:46:27] IMAGINATION RUN. YOU KNOW,
[00:46:30] BECAUSE I FOUND THAT WHEN I TRIED TO KEEP MY IMAGINATION IN
[00:46:34] CHECK, I MISS OPPORTUNITIES. AND I DON'T WANT TO MISS OPPORTUNITIES. PEOPLE ASK, WHERE DO I GET MY IDEAS FROM? I GET UP
[00:46:37] EVERY DAY AND I WALK OUT THE DOOR AND I SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT
[00:46:40] OF ME. I'M NOT ON MY IPHONE.
[00:46:43] LOOKING AT MY IPHONE. I'M LOOKING AT PEOPLE, AND I'VE
[00:46:46] GOTTEN IDEAS FOR PLOT POINTS JUST BY WALKING DOWN THE STREET
[00:46:49] AND SEEING TWO PEOPLE TALKING. AND I'M WONDERING, WHAT ARE
[00:46:52] THEY TALKING ABOUT? MAYBE I CAN ANSWER THAT MYSELF. OR I SEE A
[00:46:55] GUY WITH A BOX GET ON A BUS. I WONDER WHAT'S IN THE BOX AND
[00:46:58] WHERE IS THE BUS GOING WITH THE GUY? AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I
[00:47:01] HAVE A STORY IDEA. FROM THAT.
[00:47:03] THE IDEAS ARE ALL AROUND YOU ALL THE TIME. IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE
[00:47:06] NOT RECEPTIVE TO SEIZING OPPORTUNITIES. ONCE YOU DO THINK ABOUT SEIZING THOSE

[00:47:38] OR SO. AND, UH, THEY JUST THINK
[00:47:41] THEY'RE GOING TO WAIT OUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. BUT I JUST
[00:47:45] LIKE TO SEE HIM, UH, YOU KNOW, CAUSING, UH, CAUSING THEM TO
[00:47:48] HAVE HEADACHES AND TO HAVE TO
[00:47:50] RETHINK THEIR INSANE, UH,
[00:47:54] RACIST, CLASSIST POLICIES THAT HAVE, THAT HAVE BEEN SO
[00:47:57] DETRIMENTAL TO THE, TO THE WHOLE
[00:48:01] SOCIETY. AND, UH, I HOPE THEY, I HOPE THE TRUMP PEOPLE KEEP GOING AFTER THEM. WHAT I'D REALLY
[00:48:04] LIKE TO SEE IS, IS A, AS A TAX, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY, IN THE
[00:48:08] FIRST TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THEY PUT IN A TAX OF, I THINK, 1%.
[00:48:12] AND THEY, THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS A, UH, YOU KNOW, THE
[00:48:15] END OF THE WORLD. AND, UH, THEY,
[00:48:19] UH, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY WANT,
[00:48:22] THEY WANT A MILLION MILLIONAIRES, WEALTH TAX, THEY,
[00:48:24] THEY WANT A TAX ON MONEY, INCOME
[00:48:28] IN MASSACHUSETTS, OVER $1 MILLION A YEAR, BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS TO PAY THEIR FAIR
[00:48:32] SHARE. HARVARD, THOUGH, AND NOT
[00:48:33] SO MUCH. HARVARD PAYS IN LIEU OF
[00:48:37] TAXES. AND, AND I'VE OFTEN SAID, UH, YOU KNOW, AS A, AS A, AS A
[00:48:41] FORMER PROPERTY OWNER IN BOTH
[00:48:43] CAMBRIDGE AND BOSTON, I PAID
[00:48:47] MORE OF MY INCOME IN PROPERTY TAXES THAN HARVARD EVER DID.
[00:48:50] AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IN HARVARD, OH, WE, WE GIVE SO MUCH BACK TO
[00:48:54] THE COMMUNITY. WHAT DO YOU GIVE? WHAT DO YOU REALLY GIVE BACK TO

[00:59:04] LOOKING AT MY IPHONE. I'M LOOKING AT PEOPLE, AND I'VE GOTTEN IDEAS FOR PLOT POINTS
[00:59:08] JUST BY WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND SEEING TWO PEOPLE TALKING.
[00:59:12] AND I'M WONDERING, WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? MAYBE I CAN ANSWER THAT MYSELF. OR I SEE A

[01:01:03] HAMPSHIRE, ALL OF NEW ENGLAND.
[01:01:04] BUT NEW ENGLAND HAS THE LAST TWO
[01:01:07] PRIMARY STATES IN THE, UH, IN

[01:01:12] MASSACHUSETTS, OUR PRIMARIES ARE
[01:01:14] NEXT WEEK, SEPTEMBER 1st. AND NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARIES ARE SEPTEMBER 8th. THOSE ARE THE
[01:01:18] LAST IN THE COUNTRY. AND, UH, SO
[01:01:21] THE PRIMARY SEASON, UH, IS, UH,
[01:01:23] IS, IS HEATING UP IN, UH, IN
[01:01:27] BOTH STATES IN MASSACHUSETTS, THERE ARE, THERE ARE TWO
[01:01:30] STATEWIDE PRIMARY FIGHTS, ONE REPUBLICAN FOR GOVERNOR, ONE
[01:01:33] DEMOCRAT FOR THE U.S. SENATE. THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS SAID
[01:01:36] THAT, UH, THE, THE, THEY'RE NOT GETTING A LOT OF ACTION.
[01:01:39] THERE'S NOT TWO THERE'S NOT AN
[01:01:42] OVER WHELMING AMOUNT OF INTEREST IN THESE DEMOCRAT SENATE FIGHT
[01:01:46] OR THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR FIGHT. BUT THERE ARE SOME INTERESTING DISTRICT ATTORNEY
[01:01:50] RACES. AND THERE. DEMOCRAT
[01:01:52] PRIMARIES, UH, ACROSS THE BOARD
[01:01:57] IN NORFOLK COUNTY, UH, WHERE, UH, WHERE THE, UH, THE, THE GUY
[01:02:01] WHO PROSECUTED, UH, KAREN REED
[01:02:02] IS, UH, IS, UH, LEAVING OFFICE.
[01:02:06] BARNSTABLE COUNTY DOWN ON THE CAPE. AND A FIRST TERM INCUMBENT
[01:02:10] IS BEING CHALLENGED. UH, THERE'S A, THERE'S A TOUGH
[01:02:12] FIGHT AMONG THREE CANDIDATES IN SUFFOLK COUNTY. AND THERE'S
[01:02:15] ANOTHER, ANOTHER ONE THAT'S BEEN THAT HASN'T GOTTEN AS MUCH INK, BUT IT'S THE BIGGEST COUNTY IN
[01:02:19] THE STATE. IT'S MIDDLESEX COUNTY. AND, UH, THE, THE
[01:02:23] INCUMBENT, MARION RYAN, HAS BEEN
[01:02:26] THERE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
[01:02:28] AND, UH, SHE IS 71 YEARS OLD
[01:02:31] SEEKING ANOTHER TERM. AND SHE'S BEING OPPOSED BY, UH, BY ONE OF
[01:02:34] HER FORMER DEPUTIES, DAVID
[01:02:36] SOLIT, WHO'S A 50 YEARS OLD. AND, UH, IT'S, UH, IT'S, IT'S
[01:02:40] AN INTERESTING FIGHT. AND I DON'T THINK SHE'S DONE A VERY
[01:02:43] GOOD JOB. HONESTLY. AND, UH,
[01:02:44] TODAY, UH, IN A, IN, IN AN
[01:02:48] UNUSUAL TURN OF EVENTS, UH,
[01:02:51] MARION RYAN, WHO'S LISTED AS A
[01:02:53] PROGRESSIVE, WAS NOT ENDORSED BY
[01:02:57] BOTH BOSTON NEWSPAPERS, BOTH BOSTON NEWSPAPERS, MY NEWSPAPER,
[01:02:59] THE BOSTON HERALD, CONSERVATIVE
[01:03:01] PAPER, MORE CONSERVATIVE, AND THE BOSTON GLOBE, VERY LIBERAL
[01:03:04] PAPER, BOTH ENDORSED DAVID SOLIT, WHO'S, WHO'S RUNNING TO,
[01:03:08] UH, TO UNSEAT HIS FORMER BOSS. AND I WANTED TO HAVE DAVID
[01:03:12] SOLID, WHO I THINK IS A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE, A VERY STRAIGHT
[01:03:15] ARROW GUY. I KNOW HIM A LITTLE BIT FROM THE CAMPAIGN, AND I
[01:03:19] WANTED TO JUST HAVE HIM ON. UH, DAVID, FIRST OF ALL,
[01:03:22] CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING THE TWO ENDORSEMENTS. I DON'T KNOW
[01:03:24] WHAT, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, UH,
[01:03:26] NEWSPAPER ENDORSEMENTS EVER MET, LET ALONE NOW, BUT THEY, THEY,
[01:03:30] IT CERTAINLY SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE INCUMBENT, MARY AND
[01:03:34] RYAN, THAT SHE CAN'T GET THE ENDORSEMENT OF EITHER NEWSPAPER. I THINK
[01:03:38] >> I APPRECIATE IT, HOWIE. IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU. BE WITH
[01:03:40] YOUR LISTENERS. UH, I DEFINITELY WAS EXCITED TO GET BOTH OF THESE
[01:03:44] ENDORSEMENTS IT'S TRUE THAT
[01:03:47] ANYBODY THAT READS THE PAPERS IN BOSTON KNOWS THAT THE GLOBE AND
[01:03:51] THE HERALD DON'T ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE ON EVERY ISSUE, BUT THEY
[01:03:54] DO ON THIS. AND I THINK THAT'S COMPELLING NOW.
[01:03:57] >> AND BOTH NEWSPAPERS, UH, MENTIONED A, UH, SCANDAL THAT HAS BEEN UNFOLDING HERE. THERE
[01:04:01] HAVE BEEN SO MANY STATE POLICE SCANDALS GOING BACK TO THE TO
[01:04:04] THE KAREN REED DAYS, AND FURTHER
[01:04:05] BACK THAN THAT, AND MANY MORE.
[01:04:09] THERE'S ANOTHER SCANDAL JUST REVEALED TODAY ABOUT A ON A GUY
[01:04:11] ON THE MASS PIKE, UH, STOPPING
[01:04:14] YOUNG FEMALE MOTORISTS. BUT
[01:04:15] THIS, THIS, UH, THIS SCANDAL
[01:04:19] THAT MARION RYAN HAS, UH, HAS
[01:04:20] PRESIDED OVER OR DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S, IT'S
[01:04:24] ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS, UH,
[01:04:28] SERIOUS CASES OF CORRUPTION IN, UH, IN, IN RECENT YEARS IN MASSACHUSETTS. DO YOU, WHAT DO
[01:04:32] YOU WANT TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT
[01:04:36] THE SCOTT QUIGLEY CASE? >> YEAH. HOWIE, I, I CAN, I CAN DESCRIBE THE OUTLINES OF THE
[01:04:40] CASE. SO, UH, YOUR LISTENERS MAY KNOW, BUT SOME OF THEM MAY NOT,
[01:04:42] THAT EVERY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
[01:04:45] OFFICE HAS WITHIN IT A PLAINCLOTHES DETECTIVE UNIT OF
[01:04:48] STATE POLICE DETECTIVES. AND,
[01:04:49] UH, IN EVERY COUNTY, UH, BUT
[01:04:53] SUFFOLK COUNTY, THESE, UH, THESE DETECTIVES ARE ASSIGNED TO
[01:04:56] HANDLE, UH, ALL OF THE HOMICIDE CASES. THE HOMICIDE CASES ARE
[01:05:00] RUN BY THE DA'S OFFICE. UH, AND
[01:05:03] WHAT THEY CALL THE STATE POLICE
[01:05:05] DETECTIVE UNIT. THE SPDU. IN MIDDLESEX COUNTY PLAYS A
[01:05:08] CRITICAL ROLE IN INVESTIGATING HOMICIDES AND COMPLEX NARCOTICS
[01:05:11] CASES AND PUBLIC CORRUPTION CASES. THEY THEY THEY WORK
[01:05:14] WITHIN THE PHYSICAL BUILDING OF
[01:05:17] THE DAS OFFICE. SO THE RELATIONSHIPS, UH, BECOME VERY
[01:05:20] CLOSE, UH, APPROPRIATELY, UM, BUT ALSO THEY'RE INVOLVED IN
[01:05:24] SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT, MOST CRITICAL CASES TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
[01:05:27] SO MAKING SURE THAT YOU HAVE A HIGH FUNCTIONING STATE POLICE DETECTIVE UNIT IS VERY IMPORTANT
[01:05:31] FOR MAKING SURE THE DAS OFFICE DOES A GOOD JOB.
[01:05:34] >> AND, UH, THIS, THIS GUY,
[01:05:36] SCOTT QUIGLEY, UH, HE, UH, IN
[01:05:40] DECEMBER OF 2023, REMEMBER THAT?
[01:05:42] THAT DECEMBER 2023, HE WENT OUT AND APPARENTLY HAD A FEW DRINKS
[01:05:46] WITH AT LEAST ONE OTHER, MAYBE
[01:05:48] MORE MEMBERS OF THE STATE POLICE
[01:05:52] DETECTIVE UNIT. AND THEN HE LEFT THE BAR IN WOBURN, WHERE THE WHERE THE OFFICE IS. AND HE, UH,
[01:05:56] HE WAS GOING 59 MILES AN HOUR IN
[01:06:00] HIS UNMARKED CRUISER IN A 35 MILE AN HOUR ZONE, CROSSED A
[01:06:04] DOUBLE YELLOW LINE AND STRUCK A
[01:06:06] VAN FOR DISABLED PEOPLE. AND HE
[01:06:10] FATALLY INJURED A 37 YEAR OLD SPECIAL OLYMPIAN. HE WAS TAKEN
[01:06:13] TO THE HOSPITAL, AND HE, UH,
[01:06:17] THEY TOOK A BLOOD ALCOHOL TEST,
[01:06:18] AND IT WAS 0.114, WHICH IS WAY
[01:06:23] ABOVE THE LEGAL LIMIT OF 0.08.
[01:06:25] AND YET, WE NEVER NO ONE IN THE
[01:06:29] PUBLIC, INCLUDING THE INCLUDING
[01:06:32] THE DEFENSE LAWYERS, THE THAT WERE REPRESENTING CLIENTS THAT
[01:06:36] WERE BEING CHARGED BY THE DA'S OFFICE AND THE, AND THE, AND THE
[01:06:39] CIVIL LAWYERS WHO WERE SUING ON
[01:06:42] BEHALF OF THE DECEASED PERSON. THEY NEVER KNEW ABOUT. THEY
[01:06:46] NEVER KNEW THE IDENTITY OF THE STATE, STATE COP, SCOTT QUIGLEY,
[01:06:50] FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. AND THEY
[01:06:52] NEVER GOT HIS BLOOD ALCOHOL CONTENT FOR TWO YEARS. AND, AND
[01:06:55] MARY AND RYAN, YOUR OPPONENT
[01:06:58] SAYS SHE. SHE DIDN'T KNOW
[01:07:03] ANYTHING ABOUT IT. >> UH, THAT IS RIGHT. UH, AND,
[01:07:06] UH, THAT IS HARD FOR ME TO
[01:07:10] UNDERSTAND. PARTICULARLY
[01:07:11] STRIKING IN, UH, BOSTON GLOBE
[01:07:15] EDITORIAL, UH THE GLOBE REPEATED
[01:07:18] THAT THE APPARENTLY, MARION RYAN
[01:07:22] TOLD THE EDITORIAL BOARD THAT SHE DID NOT EVEN KNOW THAT ONE
[01:07:25] OF HER OWN TROOPERS HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CRASH. >> YEAH. LET ME READ, LET ME
[01:07:29] READ YOU THE EXACT QUOTE FROM THE GLOBE EDITORIAL. YET, YET
[01:07:32] HOW SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATOR IN THE
[01:07:36] DA'S OFFICE WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS CRUISER CRASH AT THE
[01:07:39] TIME THAT IT HAPPENED, IS
[01:07:41] DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, SHE
[01:07:45] TOLD THE EDITORIAL BOARD. SHE
[01:07:49] WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE CRASH OR QUIGLEY'S ALLEGED
[01:07:51] INTOXICATION, AND YET, SINCE
[01:07:54] THIS IS SINCE THIS STORY IS BROKEN, THE HERALD BROKE IT. WE
[01:07:57] CAN TAKE CREDIT FOR IT. THE, UH,
[01:08:01] THEY'VE TEHRAN QUIGLEY HAS BEEN SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY. HE'S
[01:08:04] BEEN INDICTED FOR MOTOR VEHICLE HOMICIDE. UH, AT LEAST THREE, UH, THREE MEMBERS OF THE STATE
[01:08:08] POLICE WHO KNEW ABOUT IT ARE COVERED IT UP IN THE OFFICE,
[01:08:12] HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED OUT. UH, ONE OF THE CIVILIAN, UH, ONE OF
[01:08:15] THE CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT KNEW ABOUT IT. I
[01:08:18] MEAN, THIS IS, THIS IS PRETTY
[01:08:20] BAD FOR SOMEBODY WHO IS A IS A
[01:08:23] DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN THE LARGEST
[01:08:27] COUNTY IN THE IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, ISN'T IT?
[01:08:30] >> IT CERTAINLY, UH, IT'S HARD
[01:08:31] TO SWALLOW, HOWIE
[01:08:35] >> WHAT WHAT DO YOU WHY WHY, YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN VERY WELL. LET
[01:08:39] ME LET ME JUST PUT IT TO YOU BLUNTLY. WHY ARE YOU RUNNING
[01:08:41] AGAINST HER, DAVE? SOLID. >> I THINK THAT THE THE
[01:08:45] MIDDLESEX DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, UH, HAS A CRITICAL DUTY
[01:08:49] TO PROTECT PEOPLE. AND I LOVE
[01:08:51] THIS OFFICE. I'VE WORKED IN THIS OFFICE FOR 24 YEARS. I WAS
[01:08:55] A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROSECUTOR. I WAS AN ORGANIZED CRIME PROSECUTOR. I WAS THE FIRST
[01:08:59] CHIEF OF THE CYBER PROTECTION UNIT, WHICH WAS A UNIT DEDICATED
[01:09:02] TO FIGHTING ONLINE CHILD
[01:09:04] EXPLOITATION AND CYBER FRAUDS.
[01:09:06] AND THEN FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS, I RAN THE COLD CASE HOMICIDE
[01:09:10] UNIT. MY JOB WAS TO GET JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS THAT HAD SLIPPED
[01:09:12] THROUGH THE CRACKS. VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY STRANGERS, UH,
[01:09:15] AND VICTIMS OF MURDER. UH, I
[01:09:18] LOVE DOING THAT WORK. I WAS
[01:09:20] NAMED IN 2025 FOR THAT WORK AS THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY PROSECUTOR
[01:09:24] OF THE YEAR, BUT I RESIGNED THE
[01:09:28] WEEK AFTER BECAUSE I WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING TO PROTECT PEOPLE, AND WE WERE NOT DOING
[01:09:31] IT. AND THAT WAS A DIRECT RESULT
[01:09:34] OF THE LEADERSHIP OR THE FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP, UH, FROM THE
[01:09:37] INCUMBENT D.A.. AND THAT'S, I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO DO
[01:09:39] SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
[01:09:43] >> A DOCUMENT DURING THE BLM,
[01:09:46] UH, SITUATION IN 2020. SHE SAID
[01:09:47] SHE WOULDN'T TAKE ANY
[01:09:50] CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE POLICE
[01:09:53] UNIONS, UH, BECAUSE THE, AND, AND, UH, I'M GOING TO READ YOU
[01:09:56] A QUOTE. THIS IS, SHE SIGNED THIS DOCUMENT ALONG WITH SEVERAL
[01:10:00] PEOPLE WHO SEVERAL SOROS, GEORGE
[01:10:03] SOROS TYPE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS WHO ARE NOW IN JAIL, WHO ARE OR WHO HAVE BEEN, UH, RECALLED FROM
[01:10:07] OFFICE, UH, IN, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, QUOTE, THE INTEREST
[01:10:11] BEING ADVANCED BY POLICE UNIONS IS NOT SAFETY OF OUR
[01:10:14] COMMUNITIES, BUT RATHER
[01:10:18] PROTECTING THEMSELVES AND MAINTAINING THE HARMFUL, BROKEN, CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. SOUNDS
[01:10:21] LIKE WHAT SCOTT, SCOTT QUIGLEY, THE, UH, THE COP WHO WAS
[01:10:25] ALLEGEDLY DRUNK, BENEFITED FROM A HARMFUL, BROKEN LEGAL SYSTEM.
[01:10:29] AND SHE WAS DENOUNCING IT WHEN POLICE MISCONDUCT OCCURS. SHE
[01:10:32] SIGNED THIS DOCUMENT. YOUR OPPONENT. IT IS OUR
[01:10:36] RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSIDER THOSE CASES WITH THE SAME OBJECTIVITY
[01:10:39] AND ANALYSIS WE APPLY TO ANY OTHER CASE. DO YOU THINK SHE DID
[01:10:42] THAT IN THE QUIGLEY CASE? UH,
[01:10:45] DAVID. SULIT >> UH, WHAT I WOULD SAY, HOWIE,
[01:10:48] IS THAT, UH, PARTICULARLY
[01:10:52] STRIKING TO ME IS THE IDEA THAT,
[01:10:54] UH, HER VIEW THAT ETHICS REQUIRES THAT A DISTRICT
[01:10:58] ATTORNEY NOT GET SUPPORT FROM THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WORK IN
[01:11:01] LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHO WEAR THE UNIFORM, WHO DO THE CRITICAL
[01:11:03] WORK EVERY DAY, WHO CHASE
[01:11:07] SUSPECTS THROUGH BACKYARDS, AND PICK UP CARTRIDGE CASINGS IN THE AFTERMATH OF SHOOTINGS, THAT
[01:11:10] THOSE PEOPLE ARE SOMEHOW OFF LIMITS, BUT THAT IT IS
[01:11:14] APPROPRIATE TO COLLECT CAMPAIGN
[01:11:16] CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHOSE LIVING IS REPRESENTING, UH,
[01:11:20] ACCUSED OFFENDERS IN THE COURTS OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY. AND BY THE
[01:11:24] WAY, I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACCEPTING
[01:11:27] SUPPORT FROM CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS. I HAVE DONE DEFENSE
[01:11:30] WORK IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY. UH, THAT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF
[01:11:32] THE CONSTITUTION. I'M PROUD TO
[01:11:35] HAVE THE SUPPORT OF DEFENSE ATTORNEYS WHO DO THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY, BUT IT
[01:11:38] MAKES NO SENSE TO ME TO SAY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHOULD BE
[01:11:42] SUPPORTED BY THE DEFENSE BAR, BUT SHOULD DISCLAIM SUPPORT FROM
[01:11:46] THEIR TEAMMATES IN SOLVING CRIMES. THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.
[01:11:49] >> THE THE PRIMARY IS, UH, IS
[01:11:52] NEXT TUESDAY, A WEEK FROM TODAY. AND DAVID SOLIT IS RUNNING
[01:11:56] AGAINST THE INCUMBENT, MARION RYAN. SHE'S, UH, SHE, SHE, SHE

[01:12:03] EARLY VOTING IS GOING ON NOW IN MIDDLESEX COUNTY. SO YOU CAN,
[01:12:06] UH, YOU CAN VOTE. AND IF PEOPLE
[01:12:08] WANT TO READ MORE ABOUT YOUR CAMPAIGN AND LEARN MORE ABOUT
[01:12:11] WHY YOU'RE RUNNING. DAVID SOLIT, WHERE SHOULD THEY GO?
[01:12:15] >> THEY SHOULD GO. TO DAVID

[01:12:47] CLOSING PUBLIC SAFETY LOOPHOLES THAT ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. >> AND YOU'RE BACKED BY, UH, BY
[01:12:50] A LOT OF YOUR FORMER COLLEAGUES THAT, UH, THAT LEFT THE OFFICE.
[01:12:53] YOU'RE BACKED BY A LOT OF THE SURVIVORS AND THE VICTIMS THAT
[01:12:57] YOU'VE WORKED WITH OVER THE YEARS. AND THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU'RE GOING TO BE CAMPAIGNING
[01:13:00] WITH HERE IN THESE, THIS FINAL WEEK. CORRECT? >> I AM, HOWIE AND I, AND I
[01:13:04] WOULD SAY I'M ALSO BACKED BY SOME OF THE BEST FEMALE
[01:13:08] PROSECUTORS EVER TO COME OUT OF THE MIDDLESEX DISTRICT

[01:13:12] THE WOMAN WHO LITERALLY WROTE THE BOOK ON SEXUAL ASSAULT AND

[01:13:32] FOR SUFFOLK COUNTY, UH, HANDLING THE DR. TODD CASE THAT INVOLVES. >> ALLEGATIONS, WHICH IS GOING
[01:13:36] TO BE A NATIONAL IT'S GOING TO BE A NATIONAL TRIAL. SHE'S GOING TO BECOME A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN
[01:13:40] THE NEXT YEAR OR SO, FOR SURE. AND SHE DID.
[01:13:44] >> THOSE TERRIFIC WOMEN ATTORNEYS ARE SUPPORTING MY
[01:13:47] CANDIDACY, WHICH I THINK SAYS A LOT. >> AND BOTH OF THEM LEFT. MARIAN

[01:26:36] YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT? YOU'RE, YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT, OR YOU JUST TUNNEL VISIONED ON WHAT
[01:26:40] YOU'RE WRITING? >> I DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. I TUNNEL VISION, I LET MY
[01:26:44] IMAGINATION RUN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I FOUND THAT WHEN I
[01:26:48] TRIED TO KEEP MY IMAGINATION IN CHECK, I MISS OPPORTUNITIES. AND
[01:26:50] I DON'T WANT TO MISS OPPORTUNITIES. PEOPLE ASK, WHERE DO I GET MY IDEAS FROM? I GET UP
[01:26:54] EVERY DAY AND I WALK OUT THE DOOR AND I SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT
[01:26:57] OF ME. I'M NOT ON MY IPHONE LOOKING AT MY IPHONE. I'M
[01:27:00] LOOKING AT PEOPLE, AND I'VE GOTTEN IDEAS FOR PLOT POINTS
[01:27:03] JUST BY WALKING DOWN THE STREET
[01:27:06] AND SEEING TWO PEOPLE TALKING, AND I'M WONDERING, WHAT ARE
[01:27:08] THEY TALKING ABOUT? MAYBE I CAN ANSWER THAT MYSELF. OR I SEE A
[01:27:11] GUY WITH A BOX GET ON A BUS. I WONDER WHAT'S IN THE BOX AND
[01:27:14] WHERE'S THE BUS GOING WITH THE GUY? AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I
[01:27:18] HAVE A STORY IDEA. FROM THAT. THE IDEAS ARE ALL AROUND YOU ALL
[01:27:21] THE TIME. IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE NOT RECEPTIVE TO SEIZING
[01:27:25] OPPORTUNITIES. ONCE YOU DO THINK ABOUT SEIZING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TOO
[01:27:29] MANY IDEAS, TOO MANY THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT. >> WATCH AMERICA'S BOOK CLUB

[01:27:41] PACIFIC. ONLY ON C-SPAN.
[01:27:42] >> [MUSIC]
[01:27:51] >> C-SPAN IS AS UNBIASED AS YOU CAN GET.
[01:27:55] >> YOU ARE SO FAIR. I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYBODY CAN SAY OTHERWISE.
[01:27:59] >> YOU GUYS DO THE MOST IMPORTANT.
[01:28:01] >> UNENROLLED VOTERS.
[01:28:03] >> IN MEANING INDEPENDENT VOTERS
[01:28:07] IN MIDDLESEX COUNTY PULL A GOP
[01:28:09] BALLOT FOR MANOHAR A DEM BALLOT TO VOTE AGAINST D A RYAN. SEEMS
[01:28:13] LIKE MIKE MINOGUE WILL PREVAIL OVER SHORT SLEEVE, LEANING
[01:28:16] TOWARDS DEM BALLOT TO VOTE FOR
[01:28:19] DAVID. WHAT WOULD HOWIE CARR DO?
[01:28:23] I WOULD NORMALLY AVOID THE QUESTION, BUT SINCE YOU PUT IT
[01:28:26] SO DIRECTLY, WHAT WOULD HOWIE CARR DO? I WOULD, UH, I WOULD
[01:28:30] TAKE THE DEMOCRAT BALLOT AND
[01:28:32] VOTE FOR SOLID. I THINK, UH, I THINK MINOGUE'S GOT IT UNDER
[01:28:36] CONTROL, BUT, UH, AND, AND, AND SOLID, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT THE
[01:28:40] TWO ENDORSEMENTS AND HE'S, HE'S GOT THE ISSUES, BUT SHE'S BEEN
[01:28:43] AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, AND SHE'S JUST PULLING OUT THE,
[01:28:47] I'M A WOMAN, I AM WOMAN. HEAR ME SNORE, YOU KNOW, NOT ROAR.
[01:28:50] SNORE FOR HER. AND THAT THAT'S
[01:28:54] THE ONLY CARD SHE'S PLAYING. BUT PROBABLY OVER HALF THE VOTES IN
[01:28:57] THAT IN A DEMOCRAT PRIMARY, ESPECIALLY IN MASSACHUSETTS, ARE GOING TO BE WOMEN. SO HE'S GOT
[01:29:01] HE'S GOT HIS HANDS FULL. EVEN
[01:29:04] WITH THE TWO ENDORSEMENTS. SO I WHAT I WOULD DO, HONESTLY, UH.
[01:29:08] 202 I WOULD VOTE FOR, I'D PULL THE DEMOCRAT BALLOT AND VOTE FOR
[01:29:11] SOLID. BUT THAT'S, THAT'S JUST ME. BUT THEN ON THE OTHER HAND,
[01:29:15] WHEN YOU TAKE THAT DEMOCRAT BALLOT, THEN YOU GOT TO LOOK AT
[01:29:17] THE, THE, MAKE THE DECISION, UH,
[01:29:20] UH, DO YOU VOTE FOR MOULTON OR MARKEY? AND THEN I'VE SAID IT
[01:29:23] BEFORE, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN IN THE MOULTON MARKEY SENATE
[01:29:27] RACE IN MASSACHUSETTS, ON THE DEMOCRAT SIDE, THE THINKING
[01:29:30] MAN'S VOTE IS A BLANK. I THINK.
[01:29:35] 844 542 42844 500 4242 THAT'S I,
[01:29:40] YOU KNOW, THIS IS THIS, THIS IS
[01:29:42] JUST CRAZY. UH, ISN'T EL-SAYED IMPLYING TICKET PRICES ARE
[01:29:46] RACIST, THE SAME AS BIDEN EMPLOYING, IMPLYING POOR KIDS
[01:29:49] ARE AS TALENTED AS WHITE KIDS? OH, WAIT, DEMOCRATS. THAT'S JIM
[01:29:52] FROM CLEARWATER. I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HE
[01:29:56] TALKING ABOUT, COLIN KAEPERNICK THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT SOMEHOW HE WAS A VICTIM OF RACISM. HE WENT
[01:30:00] HE WENT CRAZY AND LOST HIS MIND
[01:30:03] AND WASN'T A GOOD QUARTERBACK ANYMORE. SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES
[01:30:06] PEOPLE HAVE A COUPLE OF GOOD YEARS, AND HE HAD A COUPLE OF GOOD YEARS. HE WASN'T A, YOU
[01:30:10] KNOW, HE WASN'T TOM BRADY, BUT HE WAS OKAY. AND THEN HE JUST
[01:30:14] KIND OF THREW IT ALL AWAY. IT'S NOT ON. IT'S NOT ON RACISM. HE
[01:30:17] DID IT TO HIMSELF. AND, UH, YOU
[01:30:19] KNOW, AGAIN, HE'S SO, BUT EVERYBODY HAS TO BE A VICTIM IN
[01:30:22] THE, WITH THE DEMOCRAT, UH, ON
[01:30:25] THE DEMOCRAT SIDE. AND, UH, THIS
[01:30:29] IS LIMERICK GUY SAYS IT DIDN'T
[01:30:31] TAKE HIM LONG TO FIGURE OUT JUST
[01:30:34] TO, JUST TO ANSWER, ANSWER A QUESTION WITH ANOTHER QUESTION. I'M GOING TO PLAY A COUPLE MORE
[01:30:39] OF THESE, UH, ABDUL EL-SAYED
[01:30:41] CUTS. BUT, BUT THE FIRST THING I
[01:30:44] WANTED TO PLAY IS, UH, CNN HAD
[01:30:46] HAS THIS POLLSTER, HARRY ENTEN, WHO'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT, UH,
[01:30:49] YOU KNOW, THE DEMOCRATS PROBLEMS WITH, UH, THE WHITE WORKING
[01:30:52] CLASS. AND I WOULD SAY THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WORKING CLASS
[01:30:55] PERIOD, BUT PARTICULARLY THE WHITE WORKING CLASS. AND, YOU
[01:30:58] KNOW, THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING
[01:31:00] TO SELL AFFORDABILITY. OH, AND
[01:31:03] IT'S, IT'S, IT'S SO MUCH WORSE NOW UNDER, UH, UNDER
[01:31:07] PRESIDENT TRUMP THAN IT WAS UNDER JOE BIDEN WHEN WE HAD A
[01:31:10] NICE 9%, UH, INFLATION RATE AND
[01:31:14] EVERYBODY WAS GETTING FREE MONEY. AND THE VALUE OF THE
[01:31:15] CURRENCY WAS BEING, UH, WAS
[01:31:18] BEING DESTROYED ON A DAILY
[01:31:21] BASIS. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,
[01:31:22] DESPITE ALL OF THE MAINSTREAM
[01:31:26] MEDIA BEING 95% AGAINST DONALD
[01:31:29] TRUMP, AND IN SPITE OF THE, THE GAS AND DIESEL PRICES AND NOW
[01:31:33] HOME HEATING OIL, AS WE MOVE INTO THE FALL, PRICES BEING UP
[01:31:37] BECAUSE OF THE WAR IN IRAN, THE
[01:31:39] DEMOCRATS CANNOT GET ANY
[01:31:42] TRACTION ON THE ON THE THE ON
[01:31:49] WITH THE WHITE WORKING CLASS. THEY CANNOT GET IT. AND I JUST,
[01:31:51] I, I WANT TO I'D LIKE TO ASK
[01:31:54] PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, IS IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR
[01:31:58] A LIVING, IS THERE ANY WAY YOU WOULD VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT? DO
[01:32:02] YOU THINK THE DEMOCRATS ARE YOUR
[01:32:04] FRIENDS? AND WHEN, WHEN DID YOU
[01:32:08] LOSE YOUR YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY? BUT I JUST WANT
[01:32:11] TO THIS IS HARRY ENTEN AT CNN
[01:32:15] TALKING ABOUT HOW, UH, HOW
[01:32:17] REPUBLICANS ARE, UH, ARE, HAVE
[01:32:20] NOT LOST A STEP WITH WHITE,
[01:32:24] NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED PEOPLE.
[01:32:27] >> THE CHOICE FOR CONGRESS AMONG WHITE NON-COLLEGE VOTERS IN THE NATIONAL POLLING HAS TENDED TO
[01:32:30] BE MORE ACCURATE THAN THE STATE POLLING. WELL, IN OCTOBER OF
[01:32:33] 2020, FOR THE REPUBLICANS, THEY
[01:32:36] WERE UP BY 26 POINTS. LOOK AT
[01:32:39] WHERE WE ARE NOW. THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALSO UP BY 26
[01:32:43] POINTS
[01:32:47] >> YOU KNOW, THEY THEY PUT PEOPLE OUT THERE LIKE, UH, LIKE,
[01:32:50] UH, , ABDUL EL-SAYED CLAIMING TO
[01:32:54] BE A FOOTBALL FAN. THEY PUT PEOPLE LIKE TALARICO OUT THERE
[01:32:58] CLAIMING TO BE A PROTESTANT MINISTER. IT'S, IT'S ALL Bs
[01:33:02] PEOPLE CAN SEE THROUGH IT. HOW
[01:33:04] STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE? AND
[01:33:06] HERE'S TALKING ABOUT THE
[01:33:09] DEMOCRAT PARTY FAVORABILITY WITH
[01:33:12] WHITE, NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED CUT NINE. >> HOW ABOUT THE NET
[01:33:15] FAVORABILITY RATING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? LOOK AT THIS.
[01:33:17] LOOK AT THIS LONG TERM TREND. IN
[01:33:20] 2012, IT WAS MINUS TWO POINTS. LOOK AT WHERE IT WAS IN A CBS
[01:33:24] NEWS POLL THAT CAME OUT WITHIN
[01:33:25] THE LAST MONTH, THE DEMOCRATIC
[01:33:29] PARTY'S NET FAVORABILITY WITH NON-COLLEGE, NON-COLLEGE WHITE
[01:33:33] VOTERS, -36 POINTS. SO THE SHORT TERM TREND NOT NECESSARILY GOOD
[01:33:36] FOR REPUBLICANS AND DONALD TRUMP, BUT THE LONG TERM TRENDS
[01:33:39] ARE REALLY, REALLY BAD FOR THE
[01:33:42] DEMOCRATIC PARTY. REALLY, REALLY BAD. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHAT
[01:33:44] IS THIS? THIS IS A 34 POINT DROP
[01:33:47] OVER THE LAST 14 YEARS. AND EVEN
[01:33:51] IF DONALD TRUMP IS STRUGGLING, REMEMBER, IT'S WHICH SIDE IS
[01:33:53] LOSING MORE
[01:33:57] >> YOU KNOW WHAT I WHAT THE
[01:33:59] DEMOCRATS DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT
[01:34:03] AS, AS REALITY IS THAT PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR A LIVING, I THINK,
[01:34:05] AND I, I WENT TO COLLEGE, BUT I,
[01:34:08] I THINK LIKE THE, THE PEOPLE IN THE NON-COLLEGE. I DON'T THINK
[01:34:11] THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE. IT'S JUST IF YOU WORK. I THINK
[01:34:13] THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE, THAT'S
[01:34:16] THE KEY DIFFERENTIAL. IF YOU, IF
[01:34:18] YOU HAVE TO, IF YOU HAVE A JOB, A REAL JOB, AS OPPOSED TO NOT
[01:34:22] HAVING A REAL JOB, YOU HAVE A
[01:34:24] DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. AND
[01:34:26] PEOPLE LIKE, UH, LIKE ALL THESE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES, LIKE
[01:34:31] PLATNER, LIKE, UH, AL SAEED,
[01:34:35] LIKE, UH, LIKE, LIKE ALL THE, ALL THE DEMOCRATS IN NEW YORK
[01:34:39] CITY, YOU KNOW, INCLUDING AOC,
[01:34:44] THEY'VE NEVER REALLY WORKED. AND, AND THEY, THEY, THEY DON'T
[01:34:48] UNDERSTAND. WE WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP YOUR
[01:34:51] HANDS OUT OF OUR POCKETS. AND
[01:34:54] DON'T TRY TO TELL US HOW TO
[01:34:58] LIVE OUR LIVES. AND SO ANY OF THESE, ANY OF THESE LITTLE
[01:35:00] THINGS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, TIM
[01:35:03] WALTZ, OH, I HAVE A PICKUP
[01:35:05] TRUCK. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING? THAT
[01:35:09] MAKES YOU A THAT MAKES YOU ONE OF US. OH, I HAVE A SHOTGUN, BUT
[01:35:11] I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIRE THE
[01:35:14] SHOTGUN OR JOHN KERRY GETTING BACK TO JOHN KERRY AND MAMA T
[01:35:17] WHEN HE BOUGHT THE, UH, THE, THE, UH, HUNTING JACKET BEFORE
[01:35:21] HE WENT, UH, BEFORE HE WENT ON
[01:35:22] HIS QUOTE, UNQUOTE, HUNTING TRIP
[01:35:25] IN, UH, IN SOUTHERN OHIO BACK IN
[01:35:29] 2004. REMEMBER THAT? CAN I GIVE ME A HUNTING LICENSE HERE,
[01:35:32] PLEASE? JUST, YOU CAN'T CAN'T.
[01:35:36] I USED TO HAVE A CITY EDITOR. HE WAS A WORLD WAR TWO GUY. AND HE
[01:35:40] WOULD ALWAYS SAY, YOU CAN'T
[01:35:41] BLEEP THE TROOPS. YOU KNOW, YOU
[01:35:48] THE, THE, THE CONSCRIPTS, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING, WHO ARE
[01:35:50] GETTING, WHO ARE GETTING THE JOB
[01:35:54] DONE. 844 500 4242 SO THIS GUY.
[01:35:58] >> GET ME A HUNTING LICENSE HERE.
[01:36:01] >> EXACTLY. SO HE'S JUST, HE'S
[01:36:02] TALKING NONSENSE HERE. AND, UH,
[01:36:05] HE, HE JUST, YOU KNOW, ALL THIS STUFF THAT HE SAID IN THE, IN
[01:36:09] THE SALONS THAT, THAT WENT OVER
[01:36:11] BIG. IT'S. LISTEN, LISTEN TO
[01:36:14] THIS THING ABOUT REPLACING THE, UH, RIGHT. TO BEAR ARMS WITH THE, REPLACING IT WITH THE RIGHT
[01:36:18] TO HEALTH CARE. THIS IS SUCH
[01:36:21] NONSENSE. CUT TO.
[01:36:24] >> YOU ALSO SAID THIS. YOU WANT
[01:36:25] TO REPLACE THE RIGHT TO BEAR
[01:36:29] ARMS WITH THE RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE. YOU DON'T WANT TO REPLACE
[01:36:32] THE SECOND AMENDMENT, DO YOU
[01:36:37] >> PEOPLE ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN SEE A DOCTOR THAN WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN HAVE A GUN. I'M JUST GOING
[01:36:41] TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. >> I MEAN, YOU'RE. >> DODGING THE QUESTION.
[01:36:43] >> DO YOU WANT TO REPLACE THE SECOND AMENDMENT? >> I'M JUST SAYING THAT MORE
[01:36:47] PEOPLE ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SEEING A DOCTOR. IF WE HAD A RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE IN THIS
[01:36:51] COUNTRY, THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T. AND I THINK THAT'D BE A PRETTY GOOD THING, DON'T YOU? >> I THINK YOU DODGED THE QUESTION, AND THAT'S A PRETTY
[01:36:55] BIG ONE IN MICHIGAN. BUT I'LL
[01:36:58] TAKE IT AS WHAT YOU SAID, YOU
[01:37:01] SAID, COLIN KAEPERNICK. >> I'M PERFECTLY FINE WITH PEOPLE LET ME JUST FINISH THE
[01:37:04] ANSWER. YOUR POINT. YOU SAID I DODGED THE QUESTION. I'M PERFECTLY OKAY WITH PEOPLE
[01:37:07] HAVING THEIR HUNTING RIFLES. IT'S AN IMPORTANT PASTIME. I'VE GOT FAMILY THAT GOES HUNTING
[01:37:11] EVERY SINGLE YEAR. >> YEAH, RIGHT. >> WE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE. DON'T YOU THINK
[01:37:15] THAT'D BE A GOOD THING IN AMERICA? CAN WE JUST. CAN WE
[01:37:17] JUST SAY THAT. >> 75% OF THE COUNTRY LIKES THE
[01:37:21] HEALTH CARE COVERAGE THEY HAVE? I DON'T WANT TO SCREW THAT UP. >> NOW, 75% OF THE COUNTRY
[01:37:24] WANTS, WANTS GUARANTEED HEALTH CARE THROUGH MEDICARE FOR ALL. SO MAYBE YOU HAVE YOUR FACTS. I
[01:37:28] GUESS I'LL FIND OUT ALTERNATIVE FACTS OVER HERE. WE'LL FIND OUT. I'LL GIVE YOU THAT. >> AND WE'LL FIND OUT IN
[01:37:32] NOVEMBER. BUT THAT'S A GALLUP POLL. YOU MIGHT NOT BELIEVE IT,
[01:37:35] BUT I'M JUST I'M TELLING YOU WHAT IT IS. >> YES. >> WE WILL.
[01:37:39] >> FOLLOW QUESTION. UH DR. OR
[01:37:45] ABDUL ABDUL, YOUR WIFE IS A
[01:37:46] PHYSICIAN. SHE DOESN'T TAKE
[01:37:50] MEDICARE PATIENTS. SHE DOESN'T TAKE MEDICAID PATIENTS. SHE'S
[01:37:51] BASICALLY A CONCIERGE PHYSICIAN.
[01:37:55] SO WHY DOES YOUR WIFE NOT WANT TO? WHY DOES YOUR WIFE, IN HER
[01:37:58] OWN PERSONAL BUSINESS, HER OWN
[01:38:04] PERSONAL PRACTICE AS A
[01:38:07] PHYSICIAN, NOT BELIEVE IN
[01:38:09] MEDICARE FOR ALL? CAN YOU TELL
[01:38:11] US THAT AND OF COURSE, THE
[01:38:15] ANSWER IS SHE. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GO BROKE. SHE WANTS TO MAKE A
[01:38:18] DECENT LIVING. AND SHE CAN'T DO THAT WITH MEDICARE FOR ALL. AND
[01:38:21] SHE COULDN'T. AND AGAIN, WE
[01:38:23] KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS. IF
[01:38:28] THEY DO AWAY WITH THE HEALTH
[01:38:30] CARE THAT 225 MILLION OF US, 75%
[01:38:33] OF THE COUNTRY, HAVE, WE'RE THE
[01:38:37] ONES WHO SUBSIDIZE ALL THE
[01:38:39] FREEBIES FOR ALL OF HIS BELOVED
[01:38:43] ILLEGAL ALIEN WELFARE RECIPIENTS FROM THE MIDEAST AND FROM THE
[01:38:46] CARIBBEAN. AND, UH, IF, UH, IF WE'RE, IF WE DON'T HAVE, IF WE
[01:38:49] DON'T HAVE THAT EXTRA, THAT IF
[01:38:52] THEY DON'T HAVE OUR MONEY
[01:38:54] PAYING FOR IT, SUBSIDIZING THE
[01:38:57] ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THE DEADBEAT DEMOCRATS, HEALTH CARE, THERE'S,
[01:39:01] THERE'S NOT NOBODY'S GOING TO HAVE HEALTH CARE. AND THEY, YOU
[01:39:03] KNOW WHAT? WE FIGURED THAT OUT,
[01:39:05] TOO EIGHT, FOUR FOUR 500 4242508
[01:39:10] SAYS, ASK THE IRANIANS IF THEY WOULD LIKE A. ROSCOE. YEAH,
[01:39:14] THAT'S A THAT'S A YEAH. THE,
[01:39:17] THE IRANIANS ARE STUCK WITH ONE OF THE MOST OPPRESSIVE REGIMES
[01:39:20] IN THE WORLD, WHICH, BY THE WAY, ABDUL EL-SAYED, I'M SURE IS
[01:39:24] ROOTING FOR. HE WANTS TO KEEP
[01:39:26] THE, THE, THE 90 MILLION
[01:39:28] IRANIANS IN, UH, IN OPPRESSION.
[01:39:31] AND SERVITUDE, UH, TO THE, UH,
[01:39:36] TO THEIR MUSLIM, TO THEIR ISLAMIST MASTERS. HE DOESN'T
[01:39:38] CARE ABOUT THEM, BUT HE'S GOING
[01:39:41] TO TELL, OH, IT'S, IT'S, HE'S COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES. I
[01:39:45] WANT THE SECOND AMENDMENT, AND I WANT MY PRIVATE HEALTH

[01:48:15] DID HE FOOL? NOW HE'S TALKING

[01:48:22] FROM THE PLAYBOOK. CUT SEX.
[01:48:25] >> BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY AGREE.
[01:48:29] SORRY. >> REPARATIONS. DO YOU SUPPORT THAT?
[01:48:33] >> I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE AN
[01:48:38] HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE DEBT THAT WAS PUT UPON BLACK FOLKS AS A FUNCTION
[01:48:41] OF SLAVERY THAT WE HAVE YET TO PAY. AND I JUST THINK THAT'S FAIR. LIKE IF, IF, IF PEOPLE ARE
[01:48:44] ENSLAVED AND FORCED INTO SERVITUDE, AND THEN WE DON'T
[01:48:48] ACTUALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT ALL THAT WAS OWED, THAT
[01:48:52] OUR OWN COUNTRY AGREED WAS OWED. I JUST THINK THAT IT'S HIGH PAST
[01:48:55] TIME TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. THAT SHOULDN'T BE A CRAZY THING. UM, YOU KNOW, I, I
[01:48:59] UNDERSTAND THAT, LIKE, FOR FOLKS WHO REALLY WANT TO INFLAME CULTURE WAR, I JUST THINK IT'S
[01:49:03] IMPORTANT FOR US TO THINK ABOUT HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT COMMUNITIES LIKE THE CITY OF
[01:49:07] DETROIT THAT HAVE BEEN SEGREGATED SO THAT YOU, YOU HAVE
[01:49:10] A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AS A FUNCTION OF REDLINING, WHO ARE FORCED INTO >> REDLINING.
[01:49:14] >> HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THEIR SCHOOLS ARE MADE WHOLE? I'LL JUST TELL YOU. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS PREDATORY
[01:49:18] LENDING. >> JUST HAD $700 MILLION INVESTED IN THEIR SCHOOLS.
[01:49:22] THEY'RE STILL $1.7 BILLION BEHIND. AND A LOT OF FOLKS WANT
[01:49:25] TO SAY, OH, WELL, THAT'S PROFLIGATE. ET CETERA. ET CETERA. NO, A LOT OF THAT HAS TO
[01:49:29] DO WITH PUBLIC POLICY. AND IF
[01:49:32] PUBLIC POLICY CREATED A LEVEL IN WHICH BLACK FOLKS DISPROPORTIONATELY SUFFER EVERYTHING FROM MATERNAL
[01:49:36] MORTALITY AND INFANT MORTALITY
[01:49:38] TO LACK OF ACCESS TO JOBS, I
[01:49:41] THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR COUNTRY.
[01:49:44] >> SO YOU WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION. >> ABOUT PEOPLE. >> YOU WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT, BECAUSE
[01:49:48] WE HAVE YOU ON THE RECORD AS BACKING IT, BUT NOW YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION. I
[01:49:50] GOT IT, I GOT IT
[01:49:55] >> YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH, WE, WE
[01:49:57] WERE BORN AT KNIGHT ABDUL, BUT
[01:50:00] BUT NOT LAST NIGHT. OKAY 844 500
[01:50:05] 4242 WHO IS WHO WAS THIS GUY?

[02:20:14] F-150 THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SENSE VEHICLES IN
[02:20:18] FRONT OF ME, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND A LINE OF CARS, IT
[02:20:22] ACCELERATES LIKE A BAT OUT OF

[02:20:27] AND IT WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES
[02:20:32] I'M WONDERING, IS THIS A
[02:20:36] SOFTWARE SCREW UP, OR IS THIS A REALLY BAD FORD TECHNOLOGY? AND
[02:20:39] HOW COME FORD CAN'T EVEN

[02:20:53] SENSORS IN A COMPUTER, UM, TO
[02:20:55] STOP IN FRONT OF YOU. AND IF IT MISREADS IT, I'VE HAD MY, I'VE
[02:20:59] BEEN BACKING UP. SOMETIMES MY TRUCK SLAMS ON THE BRAKES.

[02:21:26] THIS TECHNOLOGY IS SOMETHING NEW. AND I THINK, UM, IT'S NOT
[02:21:29] PERFECTED YET. SO DEFINITELY BE BE CAUTIOUS WITH THAT.
[02:21:32] >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. UH,
[02:21:35] DUDLEY RON FROM MICHIGAN. YOU'RE
[02:21:37] NEXT. QUICKLY, RON.

[02:21:49] THERE ANY OF THOSE CAR CARE AS I
[02:21:55] HEAR, THE MECHANICS DON'T LIKE THEM AND THEY DON'T, UH, PAY UP.
[02:21:59] >> UM, SO SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME. I, YOU CUT OUT FOR A SECOND. >> THE CAR.
[02:22:03] >> THE CARTIER. I'M NOT FAMILIAR
[02:22:04] WITH THAT.
[02:22:11] >> THEY REPLACE IT. >> OH. CAR INSURANCE, YOU MEAN?
[02:22:14] >> OH, YEAH. SO THE, THE CAR WARRANTIES, I THINK ON AN OLDER CAR LIKE THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF
[02:22:18] THEY'RE COVERS A CAR LIKE THAT, BUT I DEFINITELY, I'M A BIG
[02:22:22] BELIEVER IN THOSE, UM, EXTENDED WARRANTIES, ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS. SOME OF THESE MOTORS CAN
[02:22:25] BE, YOU KNOW, TEN, $20,000. SO
[02:22:28] I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN THOSE.
[02:22:30] >> THANKS FOR THE CALL, RON. WE'LL TAKE MORE CALLS WITH, UH,

[02:24:57] SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A CHART, I THOUGHT, WOW, THE CHART, THE
[02:25:00] CHARTS. TYPICALLY, AT THE END OF THE SPEECH. AND THAT REGISTERED RIGHT AWAY WITH ME. AND SO THEN
[02:25:04] WHEN HE GESTURED OVER TOWARDS
[02:25:08] THE CHART, THAT'S WHEN THE SHOTS RANG OUT. AND WHEN HE WAS GESTURING, I WAS, YOU KNOW, NOT
[02:25:12] AS CLOSE AS WE ARE, BUT MAYBE 4 OR 5FT BACK. AND I HAD MY LENS
[02:25:16] ON HIM. I WAS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING OF HE AND THE FLAG. AND THEN WHEN HE GESTURED TO THE
[02:25:20] RIGHT AND THE SHOTS RANG OUT, I WAS ACTUALLY TAKING PICTURES.

[02:31:20] ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES AGO,
[02:31:23] STARTED EXPERIENCING A REAL LOUD, CREAKING SOUND. EVERY TIME
[02:31:25] I TAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, IT'S, UH. IT'S EVEN WORSE IF THERE'S
[02:31:29] A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD. I'VE HAD IT IN TWICE TO THE DEALER.
[02:31:32] THEY REPLACED A STRUT, BUT IT'S STILL THERE. EVERY TIME I TAKE A
[02:31:36] RIGHT. >> OKAY. I MEAN, THEY'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. FORTUNATELY, THAT,
[02:31:39] YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT
[02:31:43] COULD BE LIKE A BAD CONTROL ARM. YOU COULD HAVE A BAD BALL JOINT.
[02:31:45] YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE SEIZING UP. UM, YOU KNOW, BUT YOU JUST
[02:31:48] TAKE IT BACK TO THEM AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY SO MANY
[02:31:52] PIECES IN THE FRONT, FRONT END. YOU HAVE THE STRUT CONTROL ARM,
[02:31:56] TIE ROD AND THE BALL JOINT. SO IT'S, IT'S ONE OF THOSE COMPONENTS MAKING THAT NOISE.
[02:32:00] >> SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE GOTTEN IT BEFORE NOW? >> I WOULD THINK SO. THEY HANDED
[02:32:02] THE KEYS BACK, BROKEN. SO, YOU KNOW, TELL THEM TO TEST DRIVE IT.

[02:32:21] METAL SHAVINGS IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND NEEDED TO SPEND 12 GRAND ON A NEW
[02:32:25] TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THEY
[02:32:29] DRAINED THE FLUID, CHECKED FOR SHAVINGS, AND FOUND NOTHING. A
[02:32:31] BIG TIP OF THE HAT TO
[02:32:35] INDEPENDENT AND HONEST AUTO SHOPS. >> OUT THERE. AMEN TO THAT. >> AND THEN HE SAID THAT
[02:32:38] DEALERSHIP TRIED TO BAMBOOZLE ME.
[02:32:39] >> YEAH. I MEAN, IF YOU'RE NOT EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS, YOU KNOW
[02:32:44] WHY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION? SO
[02:32:45] YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL WITH JUST REPLACING THE FLUID.
[02:32:49] >> YEAH. I MEAN. >> YEAH. AND IT IS NORMAL. HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, IF YOU PULL THE
[02:32:53] TRANSMISSION PAN DOWN, THERE'S A MAGNET IN IT, AND YOU WILL FIND
[02:32:56] SOME METAL SHAVINGS BECAUSE THAT'S NORMAL. YEAH. SO, UM,
[02:32:59] YEAH, SO THEY WOULD DEFINITELY TRYING TO BAMBOOZLE YOU.
[02:33:03] UNFORTUNATELY. >> OKAY. IF YOU CAN ASK, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE NINE, FIVE,
[02:33:05] NINE, IF YOU CAN ASK BILL ABOUT
[02:33:08] AN OH ONE SUZUKI BLEEP BOX. WHAT
[02:33:12] MOKE. WHAT MOTOR OIL WOULD YOU RECOMMEND. TICKS WHEN CALLED
[02:33:16] DIDN'T COME WITH THE OWNER MANUAL.
[02:33:19] >> YEAH. IF IT TICKS WHEN IT'S COLD. YOU KNOW A LOT OF CARS DO THAT UNTIL IT WARMS UP. BUT IF
[02:33:23] THE TICK GOES AWAY YOU KNOW YOU HAVE PLENTY OF, YOU KNOW, OIL IN
[02:33:26] IT. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL. UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO
[02:33:29] OTHER THAN OPEN UP THE MOTOR. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU CAN LIVE
[02:33:33] WITH A TICK UNTIL IT WARMS UP, I WOULD JUST, I WOULD DEFINITELY
[02:33:35] LIVE WITH THAT. >> WHAT DOES BILL THINK ABOUT AN

[02:46:59] MIGHT BE ABLE TO EXTRACT IT OUT

[02:47:59] THEN FROM THERE YOU CAN DIAGNOSE, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE
[02:48:02] FAULTY SENSOR IS. SO I WOULD
[02:48:04] START THERE. YOU KNOW, WE CAN, YOU CAN BRING IT DOWN TO THE SHOP. WE COULD SCAN IT, YOU
[02:48:08] KNOW, WE DON'T CHARGE TO SCAN IT. AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF, YOU

[02:48:49] A RISK IS IT TO DO AN UNDERCARRIAGE CAR WASH? I'VE
[02:48:52] HEARD THE UNDERCARRIAGE CAR WASH
[02:48:54] WRECKS THE ELECTRICAL CORD FROM THE BRAKES TO THE BATTERY. YOU
[02:48:58] NEED AN UNDERCARRIAGE WASH WITH THE SALT. IN THE WINTER.
[02:49:00] >> YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IF YOU'RE DRIVING IN THE RAIN,
[02:49:04] YOU GET AN UNDERCARRIAGE WASH. SO THOSE BATTERIES AND THE
[02:49:07] HARNESSES ARE PRETTY PROTECTED UNDER THERE. UM, IT'S. AND IT IS A GOOD IDEA. YOU KNOW, DURING
[02:49:11] THE WINTER TIME, WE HAVE THE SALT IN THE ROADS TO DO AN
[02:49:14] UNDERCARRIAGE WASH BECAUSE
[02:49:17] THAT'S WHAT KILLS THESE CARS IS THE SALT. SO IF YOU CAN GET THE,
[02:49:20] YOU KNOW, AFTER A SNOWSTORM OR, YOU KNOW, A WINTER, YOU

[02:49:54] >> ONCE AGAIN. SO YOU START WITH SCANNING THE ENGINE COMPUTER.
[02:49:58] BUT IF YOU YOU HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, COMING OFF, YOU KNOW, AN EASY THING TO
[02:50:02] DO IS, CHECK YOUR GAS CAP, MAKE
[02:50:06] SURE IT'S TIGHT. UM, OTHER THAN THAT, THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH YOU CAN DO, BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW,
[02:50:10] IT'S, IT'S REAL EASY JUST TO SCAN IT. YOU GET A CODE, YOU CAN
[02:50:14] PULL A HISTORY CODE, AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF DIAGNOSE IT FROM THERE.
