00:05 - THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS

00:07 - SPONSORED IN PART BY CUSTOMERS.

00:10 - BANK.

00:22 - >>WELCOME TO THE PCN CAPITAL.

00:22 - PREVIEW ON FRANCINE SHIRTS ARE.

00:27 - THEY WILL DISCUSS

00:28 - PENNSYLVANIA'S PRIMARY

00:28 - ELECTION. BUT FIRST, WE'RE

00:29 - JOINED BY KELSEY, MOSTLY

00:30 - MORRIS, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

00:30 - REPORTER FOR STATE LINE.

00:31 - THANKS FOR JOINING US. THANKS

00:34 - FOR HAVING ME. YOU WROTE THAT

00:37 - THERE'S BEEN AN UPTICK OF

00:38 - LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE

00:39 - EDUCATION AND ACCESS TO

00:41 - TREATMENTS FOR MENOPAUSE.

00:42 - FOR THOSE THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR.

00:43 - CAN YOU GIVE US A BRIEF

00:44 - EXPLANATION OF WHAT MENOPAUSE

00:45 - IS AND WHAT KIND OF SYMPTOMS,

00:45 - WOMEN WHO ARE GOING THROUGH

00:49 - THAT EXPERIENCE.

00:50 - >>AND THEN A PAUSE HAPPENS

00:50 - GENERALLY BETWEEN THE AGES OF

00:54 - 45 55. THE AVERAGE AGE IS ABOUT

00:57 - 52 AND IT OCCURS WHEN A WOMAN

00:58 - SUBSIDING MENSTRUAL PERIODS

01:02 - AND THAT RESULTING DROP IN

01:03 - ESTROGEN OR OTHER FOR MONTHS

01:04 - THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH AND

01:08 - THEN STROLL CYCLE. AND BECAUSE

01:09 - THE SYMPTOMS LIKE HOT FLASHES

01:12 - CAUSES MOOD SWINGS,

01:13 - IT CAUSES. ALSO IT'S A

01:14 - DIFFERENT SHIP, POSSIBLE JOINT

01:16 - PROBLEMS AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE A

01:19 - SPECTRUM OF OF SYMPTOMS THAT

01:20 - CAN VARY FROM WOMAN TO WOMAN.

01:22 - IT'S IT'S VERY VARIABLE.

01:26 - BUT IT DOESN'T AGE. 52. AND IN

01:27 - THE LEAD UP TO MENOPAUSE HAVE

01:29 - PAIR MENOPAUSE WHICH HAD THAT

01:30 - MIMICKING OF THE SAME TYPE OF

01:31 - THING AS UP THAT ACTUAL CAUSE.

01:35 - >>WHAT WAS THE IMPETUS FOR

01:38 - LAWMAKERS TO LEGISLATIVELY SAID

01:38 - WE WANT TO ADDRESS A TREATMENT

01:39 - FOR SYMPTOMS RELATED TO AN

01:41 - IMPASSE.

01:42 - >>SO THIS IS A KIND OF A

01:42 - GENERATIONAL SHIFT THAT'S BEEN

01:45 - GOING ON WITH MAINLY GENETICS.

01:49 - INDIVIDUALS WHO A LOT OF THEM

01:50 - ARE IN THE LEGISLATURE NOW AND

01:51 - THEY'RE TALKING TO THEIR BOOK

01:53 - CLUBS AND THEY'RE TALKING A LOT

01:54 - OF PEOPLE TALKING ONLINE ABOUT

01:57 - THIS NOW. AND SO THERE HAS JUST

01:59 - BEEN KIND OF A SHIFT IN HOW

02:00 - ACCEPTABLE IT IS DIFFICULT.

02:02 - THIS TOPIC THAT THERE IS A LOT

02:06 - OF COMMERCIALS GENERATIONS

02:06 - BACK, HAVE THAT KIND OF AVOIDED

02:07 - IT. AND AND IT'S SOMETHING

02:08 - THAT'S RELATED TO YOUR

02:11 - MENSTRUAL CYCLES OF THEM AND

02:11 - SENT SOMETHING REALLY TALK

02:15 - ABOUT IN POLITE COMPANY.

02:16 - SO, YOU KNOW, AS AS THAT

02:16 - CONVERSATION IS SOMETHING THAT

02:17 - PEOPLE ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS

02:19 - IS AFFECTING HALF THE

02:20 - POPULATION AND IT IS SOMETHING

02:22 - THAT HAPPENS. EVERY WOMAN

02:22 - BASICALLY AT SOME POINT IN HER

02:25 - LIFE. AND SO NOW THIS IS

02:27 - SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE

02:28 - ADDRESSING THROUGH INSURANCE

02:29 - COVERAGE AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE

02:31 - UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR WHAT THEY

02:32 - NEED TO EXPECT WHEN THEY'RE

02:33 - GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH IT.

02:34 - AND SOME PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

02:37 - THAT THEY

02:38 - CAN TAKE. 2 MEXICAN SAYS MANY

02:39 - SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS ISTANBUL

02:41 - HAVE WITHOUT THAT IN PLACE.

02:43 - >>WE TALK ABOUT NOT ONLY THE

02:45 - QUANTITY OF LEGISLATION THAT'S

02:46 - EMERGED IN RECENT YEARS, BUT

02:46 - ALSO WHAT THESE BILLS ARE

02:49 - TEMPTING TO ACCOMPLISH.

02:51 - >>SO THERE'S BEEN JUST IN THE

02:52 - LAST YEAR THERE'S BEEN ABOUT

02:56 - 60 NATIONWIDE. THEY'VE BEEN

02:57 - INTRODUCED. AND AND I COULD

02:59 - BE YOU KNOW, EVEN SINCE THE

02:59 - TIME I DID THIS STORY BECAUSE

03:02 - SOME SESSIONS ARE

03:06 - STILL ONGOING AND ABOUT 26

03:06 - STATES FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED

03:07 - HAVE IMPLEMENTED SOME FORM OF

03:08 - I COULD BE IN THE FORM OF A

03:11 - STUDY OR, YOU KNOW, CONTINUING

03:13 - EDUCATION CREDITS FOR PROVIDERS

03:13 - TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS TOPIC

03:16 - AND BE ABLE TO BETTER

03:18 - TREAT IT OR, YOU KNOW,

03:19 - INSURANCE COVERAGE AND THINGS

03:20 - LIKE THAT. SO IT'S IT'S A WIDE

03:22 - RANGE.

03:25 - THERE HAVE BEEN ABOUT. 26

03:26 - STATES HAVE ADOPTED AND MORE

03:30 - ARE COMING POSSIBLY. AND JUST

03:30 - IN PENNSYLVANIA ALONE. I THINK

03:31 - THEY'RE STILL HAVE 6 OR 7

03:34 - MATTER PENDING OR HAVE, YOU

03:35 - KNOW, POSSIBLY THAN SOMETHING

03:37 - WITH CLASS. BUT THERE'S QUITE A

03:37 - FEW THAT ARE IN PENNSYLVANIA

03:40 - AS WELL.

03:41 - >>HAS POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP

03:42 - PLAYED ANY ROLE IN WHERE

03:43 - MENOPAUSE RELATED LEGISLATION'S

03:45 - ADVANCED.

03:47 - >>THERE. BUT IT'S IT'S MORE

03:50 - WIDE-RANGING THAN YOU MIGHT

03:53 - EXPECT. THERE HAVE BEEN

03:54 - ABOUT THIS QUITE A FEW LIBERAL

03:55 - STATES. ARE DEMOCRATIC STATES

03:58 - DEFENDING THE LEAD STATES

03:59 - THAT HAVE AND PASS LEGISLATION.

04:00 - BUT THERE'S ALSO BEEN SOME IN

04:02 - LOUISIANA. THERE'S BEEN SOME

04:03 - AND I THINK THAT YOUR LINE, OUR

04:03 - SOUTH CAROLINA, THAT ARE

04:05 - PENDING.

04:06 - AND SO WHEN AND WHERE THE UN

04:07 - HAS ACTUALLY PASSED AND I THINK

04:10 - THEN IMPLEMENTED. SO IT DOES

04:10 - SEEM TO CROSS PARTISAN LINES

04:13 - AND EVEN IN PLACES WHERE YOU

04:15 - MIGHT NOT EXPECT THERE, THEN

04:18 - A MAN WHO JUST SAID

04:19 - THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT

04:20 - THIS WAS SUCH AN ISSUE AND THAT

04:24 - THAT ARE THERE. WIVES

04:24 - ARE THERE AND FRIENDS WERE

04:25 - GOING THROUGH SUCH A HARD TIME.

04:28 - AND SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK PART

04:29 - OF THAT OPENING UP THE

04:30 - CONVERSATION IS IS HELPING

04:31 - PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS

04:32 - ISN'T SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE

04:33 - BE AGAINST. IT'S JUST THAT THEY

04:33 - DON'T UNDERSTAND. I DON'T KNOW

04:35 - ABOUT.

04:36 - >>IF YOU COULD EXPAND ON WHAT

04:37 - YOU JUST MENTIONED, TALK A

04:38 - LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE

04:39 - REACTION. THIS LEGISLATION IS

04:41 - RECEIVING, BOTH PERHAPS FROM

04:43 - WOMEN WHO MAY BE EXPERIENCING

04:43 - IT THEMSELVES AS WELL AS AS

04:45 - YOU MENTIONED, A MAN WHO MAY

04:45 - HAVE BEEN LESS AWARE OF THE

04:47 - CONDITION.

04:50 - >>YEAH. I TALKED ABOUT AND YOU

04:50 - KNOW, SO THE JETS WIN THEIR

04:53 - THEIR MOTHERS. WE DIDN'T TALK

04:53 - ABOUT IT. NEVER SAID ANYTHING

04:57 - ABOUT IT. AND SO, YOU KNOW,

04:58 - WHEN YOU GET TO THAT AGE, YOU

05:00 - AND DON'T EXPECT THAT. THERE

05:04 - WAS ONE WOMAN I TALKED TO

05:04 - WHO SAID HERBAL. THEIR PARENTS

05:06 - HAD ALZHEIMER'S AND SHE THOUGHT

05:08 - AND SHE WAS EXPERIENCING SUCH

05:11 - BRAIN FOG. SEE THAT THE FASTER

05:11 - THAN DRAFT THAT SHE WAS GETTING

05:14 - EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA AND THAT

05:18 - WAS COMING FOR. AND SO I WASN'T

05:19 - THE CASE, BUT SHE DIDN'T KNOW

05:20 - THAT. AND SO, YOU KNOW, SHE

05:21 - EXPERIENCED KIND OF SCARY TIME

05:22 - TO GET TO THAT. THERE WAS ONE

05:27 - IN RHODE ISLAND WHERE A

05:28 - LEGISLATOR WHO IS INTRODUCE THE

05:28 - LEGISLATION SAID BEN FOLLOWED

05:30 - HER OUT OF THE ROOM.

05:31 - AND TOLD HER THAT NO, THEY

05:33 - DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS WAS

05:36 - HAPPENING. AND IT'S JUST KIND

05:39 - OF A WEAKENING OF PEOPLE IN ALL

05:40 - SIDES THAT ARE IT IS GOING ON.

05:45 - >>AS YOU MENTIONED,

05:47 - PENNSYLVANIA STATE

05:48 - REPRESENTATIVE SHE'S TURNING

05:48 - THE SPONSOR FOR 8 PIECES OF

05:51 - LEGISLATION RELATED

05:52 - TO MENOPAUSE. WHAT'S THE

05:52 - OUTLOOK OVERALL OF THIS TYPE OF

05:53 - LEGISLATION MOVING OUT OF STATE

05:56 - LEGISLATORS, LEGISLATURES?

05:57 - >>SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN MORE

06:00 - SUCCESSFUL THAN OTHERS. I THINK

06:00 - WHEN IT COMES TO LIKE THE

06:03 - INSURANCE COVERAGE.

06:04 - THINGS THAT ARE STATE REGULATED

06:05 - INSURANCE PLANS. SOMETIMES THEY

06:09 - NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO GET

06:10 - THROUGH SOME OF THE DETAILS

06:10 - WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

06:14 - BUT OVERALL, IT IT HAS BEEN

06:17 - PRETTY SUCCESSFUL. EVEN IN THIS

06:19 - LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

06:22 - I THINK 2 SESSIONS AGO THERE

06:22 - WAS ONE NEW JERSEY. IT'S VERY

06:27 - COMPREHENSIVE. IT PAST THAT AND

06:27 - INTO LAW IN JANUARY. AND SO.

06:30 - THEY HAVE BEEN PRETTY

06:34 - SUCCESSFUL SO FAR AND I THINK

06:35 - EVEN THE ONES THAT ARE STUCK

06:37 - RIGHT NOW ARE JUST WAITING FOR

06:38 - FOR SOME DETAILS TO BE WORKED

06:41 - OUT. WITH. THE INSURANCE

06:43 - COMPANIES ARE WITH. WHAT

06:45 - TREATMENTS ARE GOING TO COVER,

06:46 - YOU KNOW, JUST MAKING SURE THAT

06:50 - ALL THOSE I SIGNED UP.

06:51 - >>PERHAPS FROM A BROADER LEVEL.

06:53 - WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR FEDERAL

06:54 - RESEARCH AND SUPPORT FOR

06:55 - RESEARCH ON WOMEN'S HEALTH

06:57 - ISSUES?

07:01 - >>SO THAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN

07:02 - PRETTY LOW. THE PERCENTAGE OF

07:03 - THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF

07:06 - HEALTH BUDGET ALONG THEN LESS

07:07 - THAN 10%, AT LEAST SINCE 2013.

07:12 - ANDS, YOU KNOW, THE RECENT

07:15 - EFFORTS TO GRANT FUNDING OR

07:19 - AND THE BUDGETS FOR THOSE.

07:21 - ESPECIALLY STUDIES THAT IF YOU

07:22 - MENTION THE WORD WOMAN OR NOT

07:23 - HAVE TO DO WITH 3 CFP

07:26 - INCLUSION.

07:27 - THAT IS ARE THERE ERODED SOME

07:30 - OF THE THE GRANTS THAT WERE

07:31 - AVAILABLE AND I THINK THERE WAS

07:33 - A RECENT A STUDY ABOUT HOUSE

07:36 - AGAIN.

07:37 - AT LEAST A FEW PERCENTAGE POINT

07:39 - REDUCTION IN UM, WHICH FUNDING

07:42 - WAS AVAILABLE?

07:44 - FEDERALLY. IT'S IT'S STILL A

07:47 - STRUGGLE. AND THAT IS FOR THAT

07:48 - THAT THAT 10% FIGURE IS FOR

07:50 - ALL OF THEM UNTIL THAT IS

07:50 - JUVENILE THROUGH GERIATRIC.

07:53 - AND SO.

07:54 - THAT'S JUST A VERY SMALL SET

07:56 - THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH.

08:00 - AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO THE

08:02 - RESEARCH THAT IS AVAILABLE IS

08:02 - PRETTY SMALL AND GOING FORWARD.

08:04 - WE'RE NOT SURE IF POSSIBLE,

08:07 - LIKE IT'S FOR WHAT'S AVAILABLE.

08:07 - >>WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH

08:08 - KELSEY, MOSTLY MOORE. THANKS SO

08:10 - HOMETOWN AND JOIN US ON SUNDAYS

08:14 - RIGHT HERE ON PCN.

08:18 - >>WELCOME BACK. OUR GUESTS

08:21 - PRINCIPAL AT RITTENHOUSE

08:23 - POLITICAL PARTNERS AND JESSICA

08:24 - KEMMER GOVERNMENT AND STRATEGIC

08:25 - ADVOCACY AND PFIZER AT MCNEESE

08:29 - GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. TAMAR

08:31 - IS PENNSYLVANIA'S PRIMARY

08:32 - ELECTION. JUST COUPLE START

08:33 - RACES? WILL YOU BE WATCHING US?

08:35 - THIS ALL START TO COME INTO OUR

08:36 - NIGHT? I THINK YOU'RE

08:37 - DEFINITELY GOING TO BE WANTING

08:37 - TO LOOK AT THOSE 4 ARE REALLY

08:40 - COMPETITIVE SEATS AT THE

08:40 - CONGRESSIONAL LEVEL.

08:42 - >>UP IN SCRANTON, THE LEHIGH

08:45 - VALLEY AND OUTSIDE OF

08:45 - PHILADELPHIA. EVEN A LITTLE

08:46 - BIT OVER IN CENTRAL

08:46 - PENNSYLVANIA THAT SCOTT PERRY

08:48 - SEAT IS GOING TO BE VULNERABLE.

08:52 - DEMOCRATS NEED TO NET 3 SEATS

08:52 - TO SWITCH THE MAJORITY IN

08:54 - NOVEMBER. SO WE'RE GOING.

08:56 - PUTTING FORWARD THE THEY'RE

08:57 - GOING TO NEED TO PUT FOR THE

08:58 - BEST CANDIDATE TO DO THAT IN

09:02 - NOVEMBER. IT WILL BE WATCHING.

09:04 - >>YEAH, I'M SUPER EXCITED TO

09:06 - WATCH. PENNSYLVANIA. 3, I THINK

09:07 - IS PRETTY INTERESTING IN TERMS

09:07 - OF REALLY THE IMPACT OF OUTSIDE

09:09 - MONEY IS HAVING ON THIS

09:10 - ELECTION AND WE'RE SEEING IT

09:12 - ALSO IN PA 7 IN THE IN THE

09:12 - CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATIC

09:15 - PRIMARY UP THERE. SO I'M

09:17 - INTERESTED TO SEE, YOU KNOW,

09:18 - ESSENTIALLY WHAT DEMOCRATS ARE

09:19 - LOOKING FOR IN THEIR STANDARD

09:21 - BEARERS FOR THESE GENERAL

09:21 - ELECTION CAMPAIGNS. AND SO I

09:23 - THINK THERE'S SOME REALLY

09:23 - INTERESTING DATA POINTS ARE

09:25 - GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS

09:26 - PRIMARY TOMORROW.

09:28 - >>I WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU

09:30 - FOR A MOMENT. LAST WEEK,

09:30 - PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT

09:31 - JUSTICE DAVID WECHT ANNOUNCED

09:33 - HIS PARTY SWITCH. HE WAS A

09:35 - DEMOCRAT AND HE ANNOUNCED HE

09:36 - WAS SWITCHING TO INDEPENDENT.

09:36 - I JUST READ A BRIEF PORTION OF

09:38 - THE STATEMENT. WOW,

09:39 - ACQUIESCENCE TO JEW HATRED IS

09:42 - NOTICED.

09:44 - ACTIVISTS LEADERS AND EVEN MANY

09:45 - ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE

09:47 - DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND CO HAVE

09:48 - YOU SEEN INSTANCES OF

09:48 - ANTISEMITISM WITHIN THE PARTY?

09:53 - >>AND I HAVE AND WE'RE

09:54 - WITNESSING IT. I THINK A LOT OF

09:58 - THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES AND I

09:59 - I CERTAINLY ISSUES ARE IN

10:00 - ISRAEL AND PALESTINE ARE

10:00 - IMPORTANT FOR PRIMARY VOTERS.

10:02 - AND WE'RE SEEING THAT MANIFEST

10:04 - IN SOME OF THE OUTSIDE SPENDING

10:06 - IN SOME OF THE LANGUAGE AROUND

10:06 - AND COMMUNICATIONS THAT ARE

10:11 - COMING OUT. I KNOW THAT, YOU

10:12 - KNOW, FLYERS, ESPECIALLY EVEN

10:13 - IN STATE LEGISLATIVE RACES.

10:14 - WE'RE SEEING THE IMPACT OF THIS

10:17 - OF THIS. AND SO I YOU KNOW, I

10:20 - APPLAUD, YOU KNOW, THE JUSTICE

10:24 - FOR TAKING A STAND AND 4.

10:26 - AND FOR HIGHLIGHTING THIS, YOU

10:27 - KNOW, IMPORTANT ISSUE WITHIN

10:30 - WITHIN THE PARTY AND I KNOW

10:31 - IT MAY FEEL TO SOME DEMOCRATS

10:32 - WHO SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND

10:35 - EFFORT TO GET HIM RETAIN THIS

10:38 - PAST YEAR. THEY MAY FEEL.

10:39 - SOME WAY ABOUT ABOUT HIM

10:42 - LEAVING THE PARTY. BUT I THINK

10:42 - HE'S USING THE PLATFORM THAT

10:46 - HE HAS TO HIGHLIGHT AND

10:48 - IMPORTANT ISSUE ABOUT HOW WE

10:49 - TOLERATE ANTI-SEMITISM WITHIN

10:49 - THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THAT

10:52 - ISN'T JUST

10:53 - COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE

10:54 - PARTY. BUT IT'S COMING FROM

10:55 - FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE IN SOME

10:57 - CASES, TOO.

10:58 - >>DO EITHER OF YOU SEE THIS

10:59 - ISSUE HAVING A BROADER IMPACT,

10:59 - PERHAPS IN THE GENERAL

11:03 - ELECTION? I THINK IT'S

11:04 - POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY HAVING

11:06 - HIM.

11:06 - MAKE THOSE REMARKS BEFORE THE

11:08 - PRIMARY COULD IMPACT WHO COMES

11:10 - OUT OF THAT PRIMARY AND WHAT

11:13 - VOTERS WANT TO SEE.

11:16 - >>I MEAN, IT WILL ALSO IMPACT

11:17 - TURNOUT. AND I THINK THAT THIS

11:18 - WAS SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT

11:20 - WE SAW ON THE 2024 ELECTION

11:22 - IS HOW DID THIS ISSUE IMPACT

11:22 - ENTHUSIASM AND TURNOUT FOR TOP

11:25 - OF THE TICKET? CANDIDATES?

11:28 - CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW

11:29 - GOVERNOR SHAPIRO IS VERY PROUD

11:29 - ABOUT HIS JEWISH FAITH. HE

11:30 - TALKED ABOUT IT IN HIS BOOK.

11:34 - IT'S IMPORTANT A MOTIVATOR IN

11:34 - HIS MISSION TO REPAIR THE WORLD

11:36 - AND TO DO GOVERNMENT SERVICE.

11:39 - SO I THINK YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE

11:42 - FEEL ABOUT THAT, ISRAEL, HOW

11:42 - THEY FEEL ABOUT PALESTINE, HOW

11:43 - THEY FEEL ABOUT HOW IT'S

11:44 - MANIFESTING IN OUR POLITICS

11:47 - IS ALL VERY IMPORTANT. AND IT

11:49 - DOES. IT IS A CERTAINLY A

11:50 - MOTIVATING FACTOR FOR VOTERS

11:51 - TO COME TO THE POLLS BOTH IN

11:52 - THE PRIMARY TOMORROW. AND I

11:55 - THINK IN NOVEMBER.

11:56 - >>WHILE HE'S NOT UP FOR

11:57 - REELECTION THIS YEAR, US

11:58 - THERE'S BEEN SPECULATION OVER

11:59 - WHETHER OR NOT U.S. SENATOR

11:59 - JOHN FETTERMAN WOULD REMAIN

12:02 - A DEMOCRAT IN A MAY 7TH

12:03 - EDITORIAL IN THE WASHINGTON

12:05 - POST, THE SENATOR WROTE, QUOTE,

12:07 - ONCE COMMON VIEWS HAVE BECOME

12:09 - INCREASINGLY TOXIC IN THE

12:10 - DEMOCRATIC PARTY, A RESULT OF

12:11 - CATERING TO THE FRINGE AND

12:12 - AGITATED PARTS OF THE BASE,

12:16 - END QUOTE, ARE THESE INSTANCES

12:16 - BOTH WITH HIM AND WITH JUSTICE

12:17 - WECHT, AN INDICATION THAT

12:18 - PERHAPS THERE'S BEEN ANY KIND

12:21 - OF SHIFT IN VALUES ARE

12:21 - MOTIVATIONS WITHIN THE

12:24 - DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

12:26 - >>I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN SPEAK

12:27 - TO LIKE VERY BROAD SHIPS AND

12:29 - DEMOCRATIC VALUES. I THINK THE

12:30 - DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS ALWAYS

12:32 - BEEN A BIG TENT PARTY. I THINK

12:33 - WE'VE ALWAYS WELCOME PEOPLE

12:34 - WITH DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND

12:35 - DIFFERENT VIEWS, YOU KNOW, TO

12:36 - HAVE A HOME WITHIN THE PARTY.

12:38 - AND I THINK THAT OUR CANDIDATES

12:40 - ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH REFLECT

12:41 - THAT, YOU KNOW, A DEMOCRAT FROM

12:43 - WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA LOOKS

12:44 - DIFFERENT DIFFERENT THAN A

12:45 - DEMOCRAT FROM, YOU KNOW, SO

12:47 - CENTER CITY, PHILADELPHIA, FOR

12:49 - EXAMPLE. BUT I DO. I DO THINK

12:50 - THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES

12:53 - TO SENATOR FETTERMAN, YOU KNOW,

12:54 - I THINK IT IS CHALLENGING TO

12:56 - SEE WHAT 2028 WILL LOOK LIKE IN

12:58 - THE RUMORS OF PRIMARIES THAT

12:59 - ARE COMING FROM THE LEFT AND

13:00 - THE RUMORS OF RECRUITING A

13:00 - STRONG CANDIDATE FROM THE RIGHT

13:04 - AND I THINK IF YOU LOOKED AT

13:06 - PREDICTION MARKETS RIGHT NOW,

13:07 - WE THINK THE SUGGESTION WOULD

13:09 - BE THAT, YOU KNOW, SENATOR

13:10 - FETTERMAN MAIN MAY NOT BE ABLE

13:12 - TO TO HOLD OFF A STRONG

13:14 - CHALLENGER FROM SOMEONE IS

13:15 - POPULAR IS LIKE A CONGRESSMAN

13:18 - BRENDAN BOYLE OR CONOR LAMB

13:20 - WERE CHRIS DELUZIO. EVEN YOU

13:21 - KNOW, SOMEONE AS POPULAR IN

13:22 - THE SOUTHEAST, THE TARGET, NO

13:23 - VOTE. VOTE RICH PART OF THE

13:23 - SOUTHEAST LIKE CONGRESSWOMAN

13:26 - MADELEINE DEAN. SO

13:27 - I WILL SEE IT'S A LONG WAY

13:28 - AWAY. 2028 STILL FEELS LIKE A

13:31 - LONG WAY AWAY.

13:32 - >>NOW JUST BEFORE WE WENT LIVE

13:33 - WITH THIS PROGRAM, NEW YORK

13:34 - TIMES RELEASED A POLL CONDUCTED

13:37 - A NEW YORK TIMES TO SANTA.

13:39 - IT WAS RELEASED TODAY CONDUCTED

13:41 - MAY 11TH THROUGH 15TH PRESIDENT

13:41 - TRUMP'S JOB APPROVAL RATING IS

13:44 - NOW AT 37%.

13:47 - >>DO YOU IMPACT EXPECTED THAT

13:49 - PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF THE

13:51 - PRESIDENT WILL HAVE A DOWN

13:52 - TAKING EFFECT ON WHO THEY VOTE

13:53 - FOR US IN PRIMARIES. LAST

13:54 - GENERAL, I THINK IT'LL BE LIKE

13:55 - SOME EARLY YEARS IN THE PAST.

13:57 - YES, IT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP

13:58 - BEING A BURDEN AROUND RIGHT

14:00 - NOW. THAT WRAPS AROUND THESE

14:00 - CANDIDATES BACK UNTIL AND THEY

14:01 - HAVE TO RUN THEIR OWN RACE IS

14:03 - SEPARATE OF THE NATIONAL RACE,

14:04 - ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING

14:06 - ABOUT THESE CONGRESSIONAL

14:06 - SEATS. THEY'RE A VERY

14:09 - COMPETITIVE STATE SEATS IN IN

14:10 - THOSE DISTRICTS. AND SO THERE'S

14:11 - JUST GOING TO BE SO MUCH MONEY

14:14 - SPENT AT ALL LEVELS AND THEY'RE

14:15 - GOING TO HAVE TO EITHER TIE

14:16 - THEMSELVES TO HIM OR RUN AWAY.

14:19 - A BREAK AND DEMOCRATS USE IT TO

14:23 - THEIR ADVANTAGE.

14:23 - >>ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, I

14:25 - THINK, YOU KNOW, TRUMP'S

14:25 - POPULARITY AND CERTAINLY HIS

14:27 - POLICIES. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW

14:29 - ANY, YOU KNOW, VOTER IN THE

14:30 - COMMONWEALTH WHO DOESN'T KNOW

14:31 - EXACTLY HOW MUCH IT COST TO

14:33 - FILL UP THEIR TANK IN THE LAST

14:35 - WEEK. AND IF GAS PRICES

14:36 - CONTINUE TO INCREASE, I THINK

14:38 - THAT WE'LL SEE, YOU KNOW,

14:40 - FRUSTRATION FOR THE PRESIDENT,

14:42 - HIS POLICIES FOR THIS TIME FOR

14:43 - THIS WAR IN IRAN FOR, YOU KNOW,

14:45 - ACCESS TO GOODS AND SERVICES,

14:47 - EVEN TARIFFS AND THOSE POLICIES

14:48 - THAT IMPACTS OF PEOPLE AT THE

14:49 - GROCERY STORE. I MEAN, EVERYONE

14:52 - IS FEELING THE COST OF

14:53 - AFFORDABILITY. AND I THINK A

14:54 - LOT OF THE CRITICISM FOR THE

14:55 - AFFORDABILITY CRISIS CAN BALL

14:57 - RIGHT BACK TO THE PRESIDENT AND

14:59 - HIS POLICIES. AND I EXPECT FOR

15:00 - FOR MANY OF OUR CANDIDATES TO

15:02 - MAKE THAT A CENTRAL ISSUE IN

15:03 - THEIR CAMPAIGN THIS FALL, I

15:04 - WON'T GET TOO MUCH IN THE WEEDS

15:05 - WITH STATE LEGISLATIVE RACES,

15:06 - BUT I WANT TO KNOW ON THE POST

15:08 - GAZETTE REPORTED.

15:10 - >>OVER 2.7 MILLION DOLLARS HAS

15:11 - BEEN SPENT IN A STATE SENATE

15:12 - SEAT IN SOUTHWESTERN PA.

15:13 - YOU SEE THAT'S CURRENTLY HELD

15:16 - BY SENATOR CAMERA BARTOLOTTA.

15:17 - THE PG REPORTS THAT THE

15:18 - CHALLENGE IS ATTEMPTING TO

15:20 - CHARACTERIZE THE INCUMBENT HAS

15:21 - AN ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE.

15:23 - CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

15:24 - THE PERCEPTION OF BEING AN

15:25 - INSIDER ESTABLISHMENT AND IS

15:26 - HAVING EXPERIENCE A BAD THING?

15:30 - I THINK THERE THERE'S PROS AND

15:32 - CONS TO IT. THERE'S DEFINITELY

15:33 - POWER THAT COMES WITH BEING THE

15:34 - INCUMBENT. YOU HAVE MORE

15:35 - ACCESS. YOU HAVE A PLATFORM.

15:36 - >>YOU ALSO HAVE A RECORD THAT

15:39 - YOU HAVE TO DEFEND. I THINK

15:40 - WHEN IT COMES TO THAT ANTI

15:44 - INCUMBENT SETTLE SENTIMENT

15:44 - CANDIDATES AND ELECTED

15:45 - OFFICIALS REALLY NEED TO GO

15:48 - BACK HOME WHERE IT MATTERS AND

15:48 - CREATE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH

15:52 - THEIR CONSTITUENCIES. IF I'VE

15:54 - SEEN CLEAR CASES WHERE THESE

15:55 - ELECTED OFFICIALS, THEY HAVE

15:56 - GOOD CONSTITUENT SERVICES THAT

15:57 - THEY'RE BEING SEEN AROUND THE

15:58 - DISTRICT. IF THEY'RE AT HOME,

16:01 - THEY'RE VIEWED AS A NEIGHBOR.

16:02 - THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.

16:03 - AND BUT, YOU KNOW, MONEY IS.

16:04 - IT CAN HAVE A REAL IMPACT, TOO.

16:11 - WE WANT AND IT'S.

16:11 - >>YOU KNOW, I WILL SAY THAT IN

16:14 - A IN A SPACE OF FINITE

16:15 - RESOURCES FOR REPUBLICANS TO

16:15 - HAVE TO SPEND, YOU KNOW, A

16:17 - SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO

16:18 - DEFEND INCUMBENTS, YOU KNOW,

16:20 - CREATES A BETTER NARRATIVE THAT

16:21 - DEMOCRATS ARE IN A VERY STRONG

16:22 - POSITION TO PUT THE CHAMBER

16:25 - IN NOVEMBER. DEMOCRATS, THE

16:27 - 2 SEATS TO FLIP THAT THE FULL

16:31 - ALONE IN LANCASTER. BUT THESE

16:32 - KIND OF, YOU KNOW, INTER PARTY

16:35 - FIGHTS AND THE DEMONSTRATED

16:35 - ENTHUSIASM FOR INCUMBENTS IS A

16:38 - REALLY GOOD INDICATOR THAT

16:38 - VOTERS ARE LOOKING FOR

16:39 - SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT IN

16:41 - NOVEMBER. AND A LOT OF THEM MAY

16:42 - FIND THAT THE CANDIDATES THAT

16:44 - EVEN DEMOCRATS PUT UP. AND SO I

16:46 - THINK THAT WE'VE RECRUITED

16:46 - STRONGLY IN A LOT OF THE

16:47 - COMPETITIVE DISTRICTS IN BUCKS

16:49 - COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

16:51 - OBVIOUSLY, SENATOR MALONE,

16:51 - BERMUDA RECRUITING IN THE

16:52 - LEHIGH VALLEY, WHICH IS, YOU

16:55 - KNOW, IN A VERY COMPETITIVE

16:58 - PART OF KNESSET IN THAT PA 7

16:59 - CONGRESSIONAL. BUT, YOU KNOW, I

17:02 - THINK THIS IS A CLEAR

17:03 - REFLECTION THAT THERE IS VERY

17:06 - DEEP DISSATISFACTION WITH

17:07 - REPUBLICAN INCUMBENTS IN

17:07 - HARRISBURG. AND THAT MEANS THAT

17:08 - THERE'S A HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO

17:12 - PUT THE SENATE. IF GOVERNOR

17:13 - SHAPIRO A GOVERNING TRIFECTA

17:14 - AND REALLY PUSH A LOT OF

17:15 - DEMOCRATIC AND PROGRESSIVE

17:16 - POLICIES THROUGH NEXT YEAR.

17:19 - >>LET'S SHIFT OUR FOCUS TO TALK

17:20 - A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE

17:22 - GOVERNOR'S RACE NOW, BOTH JOSH

17:23 - APPARENT STACY GARRITY ARE

17:25 - UNCHALLENGED IN THEIR

17:26 - PRIMARIES. HOWEVER, ARE THERE

17:27 - ISSUES FOR PERHAPS MIGHT HAVE

17:29 - EMERGED THIS EARLY ON THAT YOU

17:30 - ANTICIPATE TO SEE BECOMING

17:31 - BIGGER ISSUES IN THIS CONTEST

17:33 - AS WE HEAD TOWARD NOVEMBER.

17:34 - >>YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THAT

17:35 - THERE'S GOING TO BE REAL CLEAR

17:39 - ISSUES THAT. WE HAVE AN IMPACT

17:41 - SHE REALLY NEEDS TO RAISE

17:43 - MONEY. AND I BELIEVE THAT

17:43 - THAT'S STRUGGLING BECAUSE HIS

17:44 - FAVORABLE, AS ARE SO HIGH

17:45 - ACROSS THE STATES AND WITH

17:46 - REPUBLICANS, EVEN IN SOME OF

17:49 - THE SMALLER ABOUT WHETHER

17:49 - DISTRICTS AND HE STILL HAS HIGH

17:52 - VISIBILITY WITH REPUBLICANS.

17:55 - SO I WELL, SHE HAS. REALLY DONE

17:56 - A GOOD JOB AS TREASURER.

17:58 - I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY

17:59 - THAT SHE'S DONE A DECENT JOB.

18:02 - I DON'T SEE HER GETTING.

18:03 - MAKING THAT SEE COMPETITIVE

18:04 - JUST BECAUSE OF HIS THEIR

18:07 - ABILITY.

18:08 - >>I CHECKED THE I THINK AGAIN,

18:10 - TO THE TO THE PREDICTION

18:11 - MARKETS AND WHETHER OR NOT

18:12 - THEY'RE AN INDICATOR OF VOTER

18:13 - BEHAVIOR. I THINK OF THE

18:15 - CURRENT MOMENT, THE PREDICTION

18:16 - MARKET SUGGEST THAT GOVERNOR

18:18 - SHAPIRO HAS A 97% CHANCE OF

18:20 - GETTING RE-ELECTED. LIEUTENANT

18:21 - GOVERNOR AUSTIN DAVIS HAS MORE

18:22 - CASH ON HAND THAN OUR

18:26 - REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. DOES.

18:27 - AND WE KNOW IN AN EXPENSIVE

18:28 - STATE LIKE PENNSYLVANIA, THE

18:28 - GROUND GAME, THE TV

18:29 - ADVERTISEMENTS, EVEN JUST

18:31 - PHILADELPHIA'S MEDIA MARKET

18:33 - THAT FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO

18:34 - COMPETE WITH HIM, SHE WOULD

18:35 - NEED A SIGNIFICANT INFLUX OF

18:36 - CASH, WHETHER THAT'S IN STATE,

18:38 - FUNDRAISING OR NATIONAL

18:41 - SUPPORTERS COMING IN TO DEFEND

18:43 - HER. AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT I

18:44 - HAVE SEEN THAT SUGGEST THAT

18:45 - THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS

18:45 - ASSOCIATION FEELS LIKE THIS IS

18:48 - A PLACE THAT IS A GOOD. UTILITY

18:50 - OF RESOURCES THIS FALL.

18:53 - >>I AGREE WITH THAT. I

18:54 - THE SENATE SATURDAY STRANO LOST

18:56 - BY ABOUT 15 POINTS IN THE LAST

18:58 - ELECTION. I SEE A POSSIBILITY

19:02 - WHERE SHE LOSES BY MORE JUST

19:03 - THEIR. IT'S NOT REALLY ANTI

19:05 - GARRITY, BUT JUST A PRO

19:07 - SHAPIRO, EVEN AMONGST

19:08 - REPUBLICANS.

19:09 - >>SINCE YOU MENTION TO DOUG

19:10 - MASTRIANO, SENATOR MASTRIANO

19:11 - HAS HIS FOLLOWERS ARE MOUNTING

19:15 - A WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN DESPITE THE

19:16 - FACT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP LAST

19:18 - WEEK NOMINATED

19:21 - THE SENATOR FOR AMBASSADORSHIPS

19:22 - LOCKETT. IS THERE ANY THOUGHTS

19:24 - WHETHER THE PRESIDENT'S

19:25 - NOMINATION MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN

19:26 - PART TO PERHAPS GET SENATOR

19:27 - MASTRIANO OUT OF MIND DURING

19:30 - THIS PRIMARY ELECTION.

19:31 - >>I REALLY DON'T KNOW. I THINK

19:32 - THAT HE SENATOR BASED ON HIS

19:33 - POSITION HIMSELF AS A DEEP

19:34 - SUPPORTER OF PRESIDENT TRUMP

19:35 - AND THIS COULD HAVE JUST BEEN.

19:40 - TIMING INCONVENIENCE, BUT I

19:40 - COULD SEE IT. I DON'T I DON'T

19:42 - KNOW THAT THAT STRATEGY TO IT

19:46 - PLAYED OUT THIS WAY. AND I

19:46 - HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING THAT HE'S

19:49 - KIND OF SHUTTING DOWN HIS

19:49 - OPPONENT AS SUPPORTERS DOING

19:50 - THE RIGHT. AND I CAN'T IMAGINE

19:53 - IT. IT GETS ANYWHERE CLOSE TO

19:54 - SUCCESSFUL, BUT IT'S JUST AN

19:57 - INTERESTING TIMING HAVE BEEN IN

19:57 - THE NEWS AND THEN ALSO CONTINUE

20:00 - TO RUN THE RIGHT IN.

20:02 - >>I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL,

20:03 - FROM THE 2 PEOPLE FINDS OLIVIA

20:05 - TO BE ANY MORE HOSPITABLE TO

20:05 - HAVE THAT. THE COMMONWEALTH OF

20:08 - PENNSYLVANIA HAS BEEN. BUT

20:10 - BUT, YOU KNOW, IF IT IS A, YOU

20:13 - KNOW, A TACTIC TO TRY TO HELP

20:14 - GUARANTEE IT. CERTAINLY THE

20:14 - THE MOST THAT WE'VE SEEN COME

20:16 - OUT OF THE PRESIDENT TO SUPPORT

20:17 - HER IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.

20:20 - >>WE TALKED ABOUT TURNED OUT A

20:20 - MOMENT AGO. NOW, KEEPING IN

20:25 - MIND THAT BOTH BOTH TICKETS

20:26 - FOR THE GOVERNOR'S RACE ARE

20:29 - UNCONTESTED AND

20:30 - WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? WHAT

20:31 - ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS ON

20:32 - TURNOUT AND WHAT CAN WE LEARN

20:35 - BY WHO COMES OUT TO VOTE?

20:36 - >>WELL, I THINK THAT THERE'S A

20:37 - LOT OF ENTHUSIASM FROM

20:38 - DEMOCRATS TO TURN OUT AND VOTE.

20:39 - AND WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF, YOU

20:42 - KNOW, AGAIN, COMPETITIVE

20:43 - CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARIES P 7 P

20:45 - 3 TO SOME EXTENT PA ONE PA 10.

20:50 - AND SO I THINK THAT WILL

20:50 - MOTIVATE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN

20:51 - ACROSS THE SPECTRUM TO COME OUT

20:53 - AND SUPPORT THE AND THE

20:54 - CANDIDATES THAT THEY'RE THAT

20:55 - THEY'RE ENTHUSIASTIC FOR.

20:57 - I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE

20:57 - GREAT TURNOUT IN PHILADELPHIA.

20:58 - I THINK THE 3RD CONGRESSIONAL

21:01 - PRIMARY IS GOING TO EVEN

21:02 - INCREASE TURNOUT IN THAT PART

21:04 - IN THAT PART OF THE CITY.

21:06 - AND I THINK DEMOCRATS ARE

21:09 - MOTIVATED TO COME VOTE FOR JOSH

21:12 - SHAPIRO, EVEN THOUGH HE IS A

21:12 - CHALLENGE IN THE PRIMARY.

21:13 - I THINK DEMOCRATS WILL SEE A

21:14 - LOT OF ENTHUSIASM FROM THEM TO

21:15 - JUST, YOU KNOW, MAKE THIS A

21:18 - BIG CHANGE ELECTION. I'M NOT

21:20 - SURE I SEE THE SAME ENTHUSIASM

21:23 - FROM REPUBLICANS TO TURN OUT

21:25 - KREIDER STACY GARRITY FOR THE

21:27 - RIGHT AND FROM NOW FOR EVEN

21:27 - SOME OF THESE, YOU KNOW,

21:28 - COMPETITIVE STATE LEGISLATIVE

21:31 - SEATS. AND SO I THINK THIS WILL

21:32 - HELP DEMONSTRATE THE KIND OF

21:32 - ENTHUSIASM THAT WE'RE LIKELY TO

21:35 - SEE IN NOVEMBER.

21:37 - >>I AGREE WITH THAT IDEA.

21:39 - I THINK THAT I'VE BEEN VERY

21:40 - SURPRISED OR PRESSED OVER THE

21:43 - LAST SEVERAL CYCLES THAT

21:44 - TURNOUT HAS INCREASED GENERALLY

21:45 - ACROSS THE BOARD, EVEN AN OFF

21:48 - YEAR PRIMARY ELECTIONS. SO I

21:49 - DON'T EXPECT TO SEE ANYTHING

21:51 - DIFFERENT AS WHAT IT COMES TO

21:53 - TOMORROW AND WHAT THAT LOOKS

21:55 - LIKE. I THINK IT IT'S BEEN

21:56 - INTERESTING TO SEE THE USE OF

21:58 - REPO OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WITH

22:00 - REPUBLICANS INCREASING OVER

22:00 - TIME. SO IF THEY IF REPUBLICANS

22:03 - CAN CONTINUE TO. IF YOU USE

22:04 - THAT AS A METHOD OF TURNOUT, I

22:06 - THINK WE'LL SEE HIGHER TURNOUT

22:07 - FROM REPUBLICANS AND SOME SOME

22:08 - AREAS AS THEY CONTINUE THESE

22:13 - THAT EVEN IN ELECTIONS WHERE

22:14 - DEMOCRATS HAVE TURNED OUR

22:16 - HIGHER HIGHER RATES THAN

22:17 - REPUBLICANS WERE STILL SEEN,

22:18 - INCREASED IT INCREASE

22:19 - REPUBLICAN TURNOUT. SO I LIKE

22:23 - TO I HOPE THAT TREND CONTINUES.

22:24 - >>IN JANUARY, PRESIDENT TRUMP

22:26 - ENDORSED STACY GARRITY IS

22:27 - CAMPAIGN. ONE PRACTICES

22:30 - ENDORSEMENT HAVE ON HER.

22:31 - I THINK IT'S STILL POSITIVE

22:32 - WITH REPUBLICANS. I I DO

22:33 - BELIEVE THAT GENERALLY

22:35 - SPEAKING, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT.

22:36 - >>EITHER HELPED OR HURT HER IN

22:39 - THE NOVEMBER. I DON'T THINK

22:40 - THAT THEY'RE WHAT IS ANYTHING

22:42 - THAT REALLY CAN.

22:43 - UNFORTUNATELY FOR HER CAMPAIGN?

22:46 - YES.

22:48 - >>AND I'M SURE THAT THE

22:49 - ADVERTISEMENT OF THE BALL WILL

22:50 - TIE HER CLOSELY. YOU KNOW, THE

22:54 - PHOTOS OF HER OUR LARGER

22:54 - MAR-A-LAGO FUNDRAISING WITH

22:55 - TRUMP, I THINK WILL FRONT WILL

22:56 - PROBABLY REEMERGE AS WE GET

22:57 - CLOSER TO THE FALL. AND SO

22:59 - THERE'S NO DENYING THAT WE'RE

23:01 - TYING HER AND TO GET TO THE

23:02 - MAGA POLICIES AND TO THE

23:03 - UNPOPULARITY OF THE IRAN WAR.

23:04 - AND AND I'M CERTAIN THAT WE'RE

23:05 - GOING TO SEE THAT COME OUT AND

23:07 - THE NEXT IN THE NEXT COUPLE

23:09 - MONTHS. AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN,

23:09 - WITHOUT YOU KNOW, SHORT OF HIM.

23:14 - SENDING ALL THE RESOURCES OF

23:14 - THE RGA OR THE RNC TO HELP

23:16 - DEFEND HER IN PENNSYLVANIA.

23:19 - I THINK WE KNOW THAT THIS

23:20 - PRESIDENT LIKES WINNERS AND

23:21 - THERE'S JUST NOTHING AT THE

23:23 - MOMENT THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT

23:23 - STACEY HAS A PATH TO SUCCESS.

23:25 - AND SO I DON'T SEE HIM PUTTING

23:27 - A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CAPITAL

23:29 - AND TO THE GOVERNOR'S RACE

23:29 - INSTEAD DOING WHAT HE CAN DO.

23:31 - I THINK PRO PROBABLY SAVED THE

23:34 - SENATE TO SAVE IT HOUSE

23:35 - DISTRICTS WHERE HE IS WHERE HE

23:38 - MAY BE POPULAR. AND I THINK

23:39 - THAT THAT IS LIKELY WHERE HE

23:40 - SPENDS MORE OF HIS POLITICAL

23:41 - CAPITAL THAN IN TRYING TO GET

23:42 - STACY OVER THE FINISH LINE.

23:45 - >>ANTICIPATED REPUBLICAN

23:46 - NOMINEE STACEY GARRITY HAS

23:47 - POINTED OUT THAT GOVERNOR

23:49 - SHAPIRO IS EXPECTED TO RUN FOR

23:51 - PRESIDENT. IS THAT A VALID

23:52 - CONCERN OR SHOULD THAT BE

23:52 - PROBLEMATIC IN HIS CAMPAIGN

23:54 - FOR GOVERNOR?

23:56 - >>I DON'T KNOW THAT IT SHOULD

23:57 - BE PROBLEMATIC IN HIS CAMPAIGN

23:58 - FOR GOVERNOR MITT, THINK THAT

24:00 - WE'RE YOU KNOW, WE'RE SEEING

24:01 - IT. WE WE WANT TO ELEVATE ARE

24:03 - LEADERS. AND I THINK THAT WE

24:06 - WOULD WANT TO TAKE THIS MARCH

24:07 - PRAGMATIC POLICIES THAT HE'S

24:09 - ENACTED IN PENNSYLVANIA AND SEE

24:10 - WHAT HE CAN DO IF HE HAD A

24:13 - NATIONAL STAGE TO DO THAT.

24:14 - I THINK, YOU KNOW, FOR FOR HIM

24:16 - AND CERTAINLY IT WOULD HELP

24:19 - HIS AMBITIONS AND HELPED HIM IN

24:20 - A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. IF YOU

24:22 - WERE ABLE TO GET THE GOVERNING

24:23 - TRIFECTA IN PENNSYLVANIA LIKE

24:24 - GRETCHEN WHITMER HAS IN

24:26 - MICHIGAN, LIKE TIM WALZ HAS

24:27 - MINNESOTA. I THINK IF WE HAD

24:29 - THE DEMOCRATIC STATE SENATE

24:33 - AND HE WAS ABLE TO

24:35 - PUSH SMART, PROGRESSIVE

24:36 - DEMOCRATIC POLICIES ACROSS THE

24:36 - FINISH LINE. I THINK THAT WOULD

24:37 - DRAMATICALLY HELP HIM WITH

24:40 - PRIMARY VOTERS ACROSS

24:41 - THE COUNTRY. AND SO WINNING

24:43 - BACK THE HOUSE I THINK WOULD

24:44 - HELP HIM WITH PRIMARY VOTERS

24:45 - ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND I THINK

24:47 - THAT'S WHY WE'VE SEEN HIM WEIGH

24:48 - IN AND SOME OF THESE PRIMARIES

24:49 - TO GET THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE

24:52 - CANDIDATE IN NOVEMBER. HE IS

24:52 - SPENDING POLITICAL CAPITAL TO

24:54 - HELP PUT THE HOUSE BECAUSE I

24:55 - THINK YOU RECOGNIZE IS THAT

24:59 - THAT THAT WOULD HELP HIM IN IT.

24:59 - HE DECIDED TO SEEK THE

25:02 - PRESIDENCY AT THE END OF 20.

25:05 - 26 27, WHATEVER FOR THAT

25:08 - CAMPAIGN

25:09 - ULTIMATELY STARTS.

25:09 - >>WITH THE 3RD CONGRESSIONAL

25:11 - DISTRICT KIND OF GOING TO BE

25:12 - DETERMINED IN THE PRIMARY.

25:13 - WHY DO YOU THINK HE HASN'T

25:13 - WEIGHED IN TO ENDORSE ANY OF

25:16 - THOSE CANDIDATES?

25:17 - >>BECAUSE IF I WERE HIM, I

25:18 - WOULD BE SPENDING CAPITAL IN

25:20 - PLACES WHERE I COULD FLIP THE

25:21 - SEATS. WE KNOW THAT THE 3RD IS

25:22 - GOING TO BE A DEMOCRATIC SEAT.

25:24 - IT'S THE MOST DEMOCRATIC

25:25 - PERFORMING SEAT IN THE COUNTRY

25:27 - LIKE THAT WILL BE A DEMOCRAT

25:28 - AND I THINK WILL BE A CHAMPION

25:29 - FOR RESOURCES TO COME BACK TO

25:32 - PENNSYLVANIA. I THINK IT IS

25:33 - SMART THAT HE IS SPENDING HIS

25:35 - TIME CAMPAIGNING OVER GMTV

25:36 - WEEKEND WITH POP ROCKS AND

25:38 - LEHIGH VALLEY THAT HE'S DOING

25:40 - WHAT HE CAN TO GENERATE

25:41 - ENTHUSIASM FOR DEMOCRATS IN THE

25:42 - PRIMARY TO GET GET US THE

25:44 - STRONGEST POSSIBLE CHALLENGER

25:46 - TO THESE REPUBLICANS IN

25:47 - NOVEMBER TO FLIP THE 3 OR 4

25:48 - SEATS WE NEED TO PENNSYLVANIA

25:50 - TO ULTIMATELY PUT THE HOUSE

25:51 - AND BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME CREDIT

25:54 - FOR THAT IN NOVEMBER.

25:55 - >>WE TALK ABOUT FUNDRAISING A

25:56 - LITTLE EARLIER IN APRIL 13TH

25:58 - ARTICLE IN SPOT LIKE A NO TO

26:00 - THAT. JOSH SHAPIRO'S AT RAISING

26:01 - STACY GARRITY 10 TO ONE.

26:01 - WHAT CAN SHE DO TO COMPETE WITH

26:04 - THAT?

26:04 - >>I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S

26:05 - A LOT THAT YOU CAN DO. I HAVE

26:08 - LANGUISHED. SHE'S TURNING TO

26:10 - OUTSIDE. OUTSIDE SOURCE IS

26:11 - OUTSIDE THE STATE YOU KNOW,

26:14 - I'VE SEEN A DEFINITE TREND OF

26:15 - THAT.

26:16 - >>INDIVIDUAL DONORS,

26:17 - HIGH-DOLLAR DONORS ARE NOT

26:18 - REALLY PARTICIPATING,

26:19 - ESPECIALLY IN HER THAT RACE

26:22 - FOR HER. SHE NEEDS THE MONEY

26:23 - INTO THESE ARRAYS THAT SOMEHOW

26:26 - I I DON'T REALLY. I'M NOT SURE

26:28 - HOW SHE GETS THAT DONE BECAUSE

26:31 - HE'S SO LIKELY TO WIN. THERE'S

26:32 - NOT GOING TO BE A TON OF

26:34 - INVESTMENT MADE ON HER BEHALF

26:34 - JUST TO TURN AROUND AND THEN.

26:37 - BE WITH US. JOSH SHAPIRO, IN

26:41 - THE END.

26:42 - >>AND CANADA, BIG

26:42 - COMPETITIVENESS. THEY CAN'T

26:43 - MATCH THEIR THEIR OPPONENTS,

26:46 - FUNDRAISING CAPACITY.

26:47 - >>AND LOOK, FUNDRAISING ISN'T

26:49 - THE ONLY THING THAT DETERMINES

26:50 - VIABILITY. AND I THINK WE'VE

26:51 - SEEN, YOU KNOW, CANDIDATES WHO

26:52 - SELF AND TO ULTIMATELY ARE NOT

26:54 - SUCCESSFUL. SO I I AS A

26:56 - FUNDRAISER, YOU I WOULD SAY,

26:57 - LIKE I I BELIEVE THE FUNDERS

26:59 - AND GIVES YOU OPTIONS AND GIVES

27:01 - YOU LIVE. YOU ARE YOU CAN

27:02 - COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY.

27:02 - BUT IT ISN'T THE END ALL AND

27:05 - BE ALL I WILL SAY IN DEFENSE OF

27:07 - STACY GARRITY, WOMEN DO HAVE A

27:08 - MORE CHALLENGING TIME RAISING

27:11 - MONEY THAN THEIR MALE

27:12 - COUNTERPARTS. AND SO IT IS NOT

27:13 - SURPRISING TO ME THAT STACY

27:16 - GARRITY IS HAVING TROUBLE

27:17 - FUNDRAISING JUST BECAUSE IT IS

27:18 - HARD FOR SOME DONORS TO SEE

27:20 - WOMEN IN EXECUTIVE POSITIONS.

27:22 - AND I THINK WE SAW THAT IN IT.

27:23 - WE'VE SEEN AT A FUNDRAISING IN

27:24 - U.S. SENATE RACES. WE'VE SEEN

27:26 - THAT IN FUNDRAISING. NIKKI

27:28 - HALEY WHEN SHE RAN FOR

27:29 - PRESIDENT. AND SO, YOU KNOW,

27:30 - FOR A LITTLE BIT IN DEFENSE

27:34 - OF STACY, WE DON'T WE ALWAYS

27:36 - DON'T INVEST IN WOMEN BECAUSE

27:37 - IT IS CHALLENGING FOR US TO

27:38 - SEE THAT IN THESE LEADERSHIP

27:40 - POSITIONS. AND THEY DON'T

27:41 - ALWAYS REQUIRE THE SENATOR

27:42 - RESOURCES AT THEIR MALE

27:43 - COUNTERPARTS. DO.

27:44 - >>WE'LL CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION

27:45 - IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT FIRST,

27:46 - LET'S GIVE OUR GUESTS A BREAK.

27:47 - WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT'S COMING

27:50 - UP ON PCN.

27:50 - U.S., SENATOR DAVE MCCORMICK

27:53 - WILL BE THE GUEST AT THIS

27:53 - MONTH'S PENNSYLVANIA PRESS CLUB

27:54 - LUNCHEON. THAT'S TODAY LIVE AT

27:57 - 12, 30.

29:15 - PENNSYLVANIA'S PRIMARY

29:16 - ELECTION, WHICH IS TOMORROW.

29:18 - WE'RE TALKING QUITE A BIT ABOUT

29:19 - THE GOVERNOR'S RACE. DO YOU

29:20 - EXPECT THAT? WHAT'S ON THE TOP

29:21 - OF THE BALLOT FOR THE

29:21 - GOVERNOR'S RACE WILL HAVE MUCH

29:24 - OF AN IMPACT.

29:24 - >>ON DOWN TICKET RACES. I THINK

29:26 - IT'S GOING TO BE THOSE OTHER

29:28 - TOP TICKET PRICES THAT HAVE

29:30 - MORE OF AN IMPACT IN THOSE

29:31 - PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE

29:31 - COMPETITIVE CONGRESSIONAL RACES

29:32 - THAT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON

29:35 - THOSE DOWN BALLOT TO GET MORE

29:36 - SO THAN I THINK THE GOVERNOR'S

29:39 - RACE WILL HAVE.

29:40 - >>ONE OF THE PLACES THAT I'M

29:41 - EXCITED TO LOOK AT TOMORROW

29:43 - NIGHT IS TURNOUT IN

29:45 - PENNSYLVANIA 9. SO THAT IS DAN

29:46 - USERS, THE REPUBLICAN

29:46 - INCUMBENT. HE'S RUNNING AGAINST

29:48 - A YOUNG WOMAN NAMED RACHEL

29:50 - WALLACE. A LOT OF, YOU KNOW,

29:50 - PHENOMENAL CREDENTIALS FROM THE

29:52 - DISTRICT SHE HAS OUT RAISED HIM

29:55 - IN THE LAST 2 QUARTERS. SHE'S

29:56 - RAISED MORE THAN ALL. I THINK

29:57 - THE PREVIOUS BLAST, ALL OF HIS

29:59 - DEMOCRATIC OPPONENTS, A

30:01 - COMBINED. AND I THINK LOOKING

30:02 - AT ENTHUSIASM FOR DEMOCRATS IN

30:04 - RURAL PARTS OF THE

30:07 - COMMONWEALTH, I THINK IT'S ALSO

30:08 - REALLY GOING TO HELP US

30:08 - DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF

30:09 - ELECTORATE WILL LOOK LIKE IN

30:11 - NOVEMBER. SO WELL, IT'S NOT A

30:14 - COMPETITIVE PRIMARY ON THE

30:14 - BALLOT TOMORROW. I AM

30:15 - INTERESTED TO LOOK AT A RACE

30:17 - LIKE PA 9 BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN

30:20 - SOME POLLING WHERE GENERIC

30:21 - DEMOCRAT, SO AN UNNAMED

30:24 - DEMOCRAT VERSUS AN UNNAMED

30:25 - REPUBLICAN, THE GENERIC

30:26 - DEMOCRAT IS OUTPERFORMING

30:27 - REPUBLICANS BY AS MANY AS 15

30:29 - POINTS. AND IF THE SPREAD IS 15

30:32 - POINTS IN SOME OF THESE

30:33 - COMPETITIVE LEGISLATIVE AND

30:33 - CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS, SEATS

30:34 - LIKE PA 9 COULD POSSIBLY BE

30:39 - IN PLAY. SO A SLIGHT SLIP OR

30:40 - POSSIBLE CAMPAIGN IN RURAL

30:40 - PENNSYLVANIA, BUT DEFINITELY

30:41 - ONE OF THEM WATCHING TOMORROW

30:42 - NIGHT.

30:43 - >>I THINK THAT YOU MAKE A

30:43 - REALLY GOOD POINT, ESPECIALLY

30:46 - LOOKING AT THE 2025 A GENERAL

30:48 - ELECTION WHERE WE SAW SOME OF

30:50 - THESE PLACES. YOU NEVER THINK

30:51 - SEATS WOULD BE FLIPPED, WHETHER

30:52 - IT'S SCHOOL BOARDS OR

30:54 - MUNICIPALITIES. IT GAINED MORE

30:57 - DEMOCRATIC.

30:58 - IT'S A POOR IN THOSE AREAS.

30:59 - AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW

31:00 - THAT TRANSLATES TO THE STATE

31:02 - AND FEDERAL ELECTIONS AS WELL

31:04 - IN BOTH THE DEMOCRATIC

31:07 - PRIMARIES FOR THE 7TH

31:08 - CONGRESSIONAL IN THE LEHIGH

31:09 - VALLEY AND THE SURGE IN

31:10 - SOUTHEASTERN PA, THEY THINK

31:11 - HACK CHARACTERIZES TESTING

31:12 - PROGRESSIVES VERSUS MODERATES

31:13 - WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

31:16 - >>PIMA COUNTY FOR A MOMENT.

31:18 - WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE

31:19 - FIRST ONE. MAYBE PERHAPS YOUR

31:20 - EXPECTATIONS, BUT ALSO HOW

31:21 - THESE 2 FACTIONS OF THE

31:22 - DEMOCRATIC PARTY ALONGSIDE ONE

31:24 - ANOTHER.

31:25 - >>SURE. AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW,

31:28 - THE DEMOCRATS ARE A BIG TENT

31:29 - PARTY AND WE WE REPRESENT AND

31:29 - THE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, ON WITH

31:31 - ALL KINDS OF IDEOLOGIES ACROSS

31:32 - THE SPECTRUM OF THEY HAVE A

31:33 - HOME HERE WITH THAT. YOU KNOW,

31:34 - IT'S LEADERSHIP IN THE PARTY

31:36 - ON. I THINK, YOU KNOW, PA 3 IS

31:38 - GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING TEST

31:39 - TOMORROW. WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF

31:43 - COMMENTARY THAT PHILADELPHIA

31:45 - COULD BE THE NEXT NEW YORK AND

31:46 - WHETHER MOM, DENISE STYLE, HER

31:47 - AS A CANDIDATE CAN GET A

31:49 - FOOTHOLD IN A PLACE LIKE

31:50 - PHILADELPHIA. AND I THINK WE'RE

31:53 - SEEING THAT PLAY OUT IN PA 3.

31:54 - A LOT OF THE PROGRESSIVE

31:57 - CANDIDATES OR MORE DIGITALLY

31:59 - NATIVE. AND SO WE SEE THEM, YOU

32:00 - KNOW, KIND OF BIGGER, FASTER,

32:03 - STRONGER IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA

32:04 - SPACES WITH THAT DOESN'T

32:05 - NECESSARILY TRANSLATE TO VOTERS

32:06 - WHO REPRESENT THESE MEMBERS

32:09 - OF CONGRESS. AND I THINK

32:10 - SENATOR STREET HAS PUT TOGETHER

32:13 - THE WINNING COALITION THAT

32:14 - ELEVATED MAYOR SARAH PARKER

32:16 - JUST A FEW YEARS AGO BETWEEN

32:20 - LABOR, ALL OTHER ELECTED

32:20 - OFFICIALS SUPPORT WITHIN THE

32:22 - WEST SOW NORTHWEST

32:24 - PHILADELPHIA. AND ULTIMATELY, I

32:25 - THINK THAT THIS DISTRICT IS

32:29 - PROBABLY OLDER, MORE

32:30 - AFRICAN-AMERICAN, MORE FEMALE

32:30 - THAT I THINK EVEN SOME OF THE

32:32 - POLLING IS SUGGESTING. AND SO

32:35 - ULTIMATELY, I DO THINK THAT

32:37 - THAT MORE TRADITIONAL ROUTE,

32:38 - YOU KNOW, IN THE DISTRICT

32:39 - ELECTED OFFICIALS NAMES THAT

32:42 - PEOPLE RECOGNIZE ARE ULTIMATELY

32:44 - GOING TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL.

32:45 - IF PROGRESSIVES, YOU KNOW,

32:48 - WE'RE ABLE TO DOMINATE LOCAL

32:49 - ELECTIONS. I THINK WE WOULD

32:50 - HAVE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN

32:51 - DEMONSTRATED IN THE MAYORAL

32:53 - ELECTION

32:54 - 2 YEARS AGO. AND WELL, I THINK

32:55 - THAT, YOU KNOW, AN AFC

32:58 - ENDORSEMENT IN BIG RALLIES AND

32:58 - HAVING, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THAT

33:01 - MAY MAY.

33:03 - LOOK LIKE THESE CAMPAIGNS HAVE

33:04 - A LOT MORE ENTHUSIASM AND

33:07 - MOMENTUM. IN REALITY, IT'S

33:08 - ABOUT COMMUNITIES AND DOOR

33:09 - KNOCKING AND TALKING TO YOUR

33:11 - NEIGHBORS AND TURNING OUT.

33:12 - AND YOU KNOW, TO THAT EFFECT,

33:14 - I THINK SENATOR STREET, HIS

33:14 - INFRASTRUCTURE AND HIS

33:15 - ORGANIZATION WILL ULTIMATELY BE

33:17 - SUCCESSFUL TOMORROW.

33:20 - >>WE JUST ARE YOU SEEING

33:20 - SIMILAR PARALLELS PERHAPS IN

33:22 - THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WITH THE

33:23 - MEGA CONSERVATIVES AND THE

33:23 - MODERATES, MODERATE REPUBLICANS

33:26 - >>I THINK THERE'S FEWER AND

33:28 - FEWER MODERATE REPUBLICANS

33:29 - RUNNING FOR OFFICE. THEY'RE

33:32 - ALWAYS LOOKING AND THERE'S

33:33 - SEVERAL STATE SENATE RACES THAT

33:34 - ARE BEING PRIMARY FROM THE HARD

33:35 - RIGHT. AND EVEN IN PLACES WHERE

33:38 - I WOULD.

33:39 - IDENTIFY, THOUGH THOSE NUMBERS

33:40 - AS A CONSERVATIVE MEMBER OF

33:43 - THE PARTY.

33:45 - THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A LOT

33:47 - OF ROOM EITHER WAY FOR BOTH.

33:48 - AT ONE POINT LEAD THE PARTY TO

33:51 - CONSIDER ITS ITSELF A BIG TENT

33:52 - PARTY. I THINK THAT THERE'S

33:53 - THERE'S LESS AND LESS ROOM FOR

33:56 - THAT AS WE'RE SEEING AND, YOU

33:57 - KNOW, GERRYMANDERING PLAYS A

33:58 - BIG ROLE IN IT. A LOT OF THESE

33:59 - ELECTIONS ARE DETERMINED IN

33:59 - THE PRIMARY. THEY'RE NOT

34:01 - DETERMINED IN THE GENERAL.

34:02 - SO WHEN YOU GET A RIGHT FLANK

34:05 - OPPONENT.

34:08 - YOU'RE SEEING IF THAT HAPPENS,

34:09 - DEMOCRATS HAVE A REAL

34:09 - OPPORTUNITY IN PLACES THEY

34:12 - NEVER DID END.

34:14 - IN THE FALL. SO I WISH THERE

34:17 - WAS MORE OF A BIG 10 KIND OF

34:19 - PARTY STILL IN EXISTENCE

34:19 - REMEMBERS RUNNING. BUT I THINK

34:22 - IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER AND

34:23 - SOMETHING IS SO BIG. IT'S STILL

34:24 - SUCH A BELLWETHER STATE, BUT

34:26 - THE REGIONS ARE VERY DIFFERENT

34:28 - AND THEY LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT.

34:30 - EVEN FROM CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

34:31 - TO THE LEHIGH VALLEY. I MEAN,

34:35 - THE LEHIGH VALLEY, I'M

34:36 - ORIGINALLY FROM THE LEHIGH

34:38 - VALLEY THAT CONGRESSIONAL 7

34:39 - PRIMARIES. REALLY INTERESTING

34:40 - TO THE FORMER EXECUTIVE COUNTY

34:42 - EXECUTIVE LAMONT MCCLURE GOT

34:44 - OUT EARLY, GOT ALL OF HIS

34:46 - ENDORSEMENTS AND THEN GOT

34:47 - BLINDSIDED BY HIS PARTY TO

34:49 - SUPPORT BOB BROOKS.

34:50 - I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE

34:51 - THAT HAPPENED IN THE LEHIGH

34:52 - VALLEY. SO THAT'LL BE REALLY

34:54 - INTERESTING.

34:56 - THAT'S STILL A VERY NARROW

34:57 - DISTRICT, RIGHT? CONGRESSMAN

35:00 - KENZIE.

35:02 - HE NEEDS TO HOLD ON TO HIS BASE

35:03 - REALLY HARD. AND AND HE'S HE HE

35:06 - WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. AND IN

35:08 - IN THOSE MORE RURAL REGIONS.

35:11 - BUT HE'S GOT TO MAKE SOME

35:12 - INROADS IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY

35:13 - IN LEHIGH COUNTY AND NARROW

35:14 - THAT GAP A LITTLE BIT TO HOLD

35:16 - ON. FRESHMAN MEMBERS ARE VERY

35:17 - VULNERABLE MEMBERS ANYWAY, EVEN

35:21 - IN. A NORMAL KIND OF

35:23 - ENVIRONMENTS AND THIS

35:23 - ENVIRONMENT. IT'S GOING TO BE

35:25 - VERY MATTER WHO IT KIND OF

35:26 - COMES OUT OF THAT PRIMARY AND

35:28 - TOMORROW UPPER IS TRYING TO

35:31 - CONCEIVE OR BOTH. I'M SORRY IT

35:33 - WAS RYAN, MACKENZIE,

35:34 - VULNERABLE.

35:35 - >>I THINK MCKENZIE, I THINK

35:36 - QUESTION AND I THINK THIS IS

35:38 - THE KIND OF ELECTION OR EVEN

35:41 - SOMEONE AS A AS YOU KNOW,

35:42 - PADRES ENTRANCES. BRIAN

35:43 - FITZPATRICK IS VULNERABLE

35:43 - AGAIN, IF DEMOCRATS ARE, YOU

35:46 - KNOW, EVEN IN GENERIC POLLING

35:47 - ARE OUTPERFORMING GENERIC

35:48 - REPUBLICANS THAT ONCE WE GET

35:52 - TO PROFILE THESE CANDIDATES,

35:52 - YOU KNOW, BOP BOP ROCKS OR

35:53 - WHETHER IT'S RIGHT ACROSS WELL

35:57 - OR EVEN, YOU KNOW, CARROLL WHO

35:58 - HAS A CONGRESSWOMAN SUSAN WILD

36:00 - ENDORSEMENT IN PA 7. I THINK

36:01 - ANY OF THESE CAMPAIGNS ONCE WE

36:03 - WE HIGHLIGHT NOT ONLY THEIR

36:03 - RECORDS WITH THE RECORDS OF

36:06 - THESE THESE REPUBLICANS, I

36:07 - THINK PAIGE COGNETTI HAS DONE A

36:08 - PHENOMENAL JOB GOING AFTER

36:10 - BRESNAHAN AND SCRANTON AND

36:12 - HIGHLIGHTING THE KIND OF

36:12 - HYPOCRISY OF ALL OF HIS STOCK

36:13 - TRADING WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT

36:15 - THAT MEANS FOR THE

36:18 - AFFORDABILITY CRISIS FOR HER

36:18 - CONSTITUENTS. SO, YOU KNOW, I

36:23 - I THINK MOST EVERY.

36:23 - ONE OF OUR REPUBLICAN

36:26 - INCUMBENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA

36:28 - SHOULD BE FEELING THE PRESSURE

36:29 - SIGNIFICANTLY. AGAIN, EVEN AS

36:30 - I MENTIONED BEFORE, EVEN SOME A

36:32 - LOOK AT DAN USER IN PA 9, I

36:33 - DON'T THINK SHOULD BE RESTING

36:35 - ON ON, YOU KNOW, ON HIS

36:37 - LAURELS. I THINK THAT WE'RE

36:39 - COMING. WE'RE COMING FROM THEM.

36:40 - YOU KNOW, EVERYWHERE WE'RE

36:41 - GOING TO COMPETE IN EVERY PLACE

36:44 - TO TURN THE SEATS BLUE TO GET A

36:45 - DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN THE

36:47 - HOUSE IN THE FALL.

36:50 - >>AND 7 SEATS, 7, 8.10. YEAH,

36:51 - 7, 8, 10. THEY WERE ALL WITHIN

36:53 - LIKE A PERCENTAGE POINT.

36:54 - LAST TIME. THEY WERE VERY

36:56 - COMPETITIVE SEATS LAST CYCLE.

36:57 - BRIAN FITZPATRICK, I MEAN, HE

36:59 - WON THAT SEAT BY ABOUT 10 I SEE

37:01 - HIM AS A LITTLE BIT MORE LESS

37:02 - VULNERABLE, BUT IN ENVIRONMENTS

37:04 - LIKE THIS, EVERYONE'S ALWAYS

37:05 - YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WHAT COULD

37:09 - HAPPEN. HE WAS DEFINITELY THE

37:09 - MOST SECURE OF THE SEATS WERE

37:13 - TALKING ABOUT IN 2024. BUT

37:14 - THESE OTHER SEATS WERE ALREADY

37:16 - COMPETITIVE. AND I THINK

37:19 - EVEN NOW IN 2026 MORE. SO JUST

37:20 - GOING TO COME BACK TO THE 7TH

37:21 - CONGRESSIONAL FOR JUST A

37:22 - SECOND. THE PHILADELPHIA

37:23 - INQUIRER REPORTED A MYSTERIOUS

37:26 - POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

37:27 - CALLED LEFT. LEVY IS A

37:27 - REPUBLICAN FUNDRAISING PLATFORM

37:29 - WHEN BRAD.

37:30 - >>AND THEIR PERCEIVED TO BE

37:30 - REPUBLICANS INTERVENING IN THIS

37:32 - DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY SPORTS,

37:33 - SOMEONE.

37:36 - >>PERCEIVED AS A WEAKER

37:37 - CANDIDATE. IS THAT A

37:37 - PROTECTIVE? I MEAN, IF WE ARE

37:38 - AT WE'VE STARTED TO SEE IT

37:41 - GOING BACK TO JOSH SHAPIRO'S

37:42 - FIRST ELECTION SUPPORTED

37:44 - PROPPING UP DOUG MASTRIANO

37:45 - BECAUSE THAT'S THAT WAS WHO WAS

37:48 - PERCEIVED TO BE THE WEAKEST IN

37:48 - THAT CROWDED GROUP. WE'VE SEEN

37:49 - IT HAPPEN IN OTHER PLACES.

37:52 - I DON'T. I THINK IT'S A VERY

37:56 - RISKY TACTIC. ABOUT PROMOTING

37:57 - YOUR OPPONENT DEPENDING ON WHAT

38:00 - KIND OF RACE IT IS. YOU MAY NOT

38:02 - GET WHAT YOU BARGAINED FOR,

38:03 - BUT I WE'VE SEEN IN OTHER RACES

38:04 - AND I THINK WE'LL WE'LL KEEP

38:05 - SAYING IT UNTIL IT FAILS

38:08 - MISERABLY.

38:09 - >>AND WE'RE SEEING IT EVEN IN

38:11 - STATE LEGISLATIVE SEATS AND

38:13 - PENNSYLVANIA, 16 IN THE SENATE

38:15 - ON GERRIT COLE IN SENATE

38:16 - DISTRICT. WE'RE SEEING

38:21 - REPUBLICAN BACKED PACKS FUNDING

38:22 - MAIL AND COMMUNICATIONS

38:23 - ELEVATING OUR KINSLEY BECAUSE

38:28 - THEY BELIEVE THAT HE IS A

38:29 - WEAKER CANDIDATE AGAINST

38:30 - COLEMAN IN THE BALL AND

38:31 - PROBABLY MERKEL GUM HAS BEEN

38:31 - ENDORSED BY, YOU KNOW, NUMBER

38:32 - OF LABOR, A NUMBER OF MEMBERS

38:35 - OF THE SENATE THEMSELVES.

38:36 - >>AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE

38:38 - CLEMENCY IS IS.

38:39 - WE CAN PICK IT UP THIS FALL

38:42 - WITH THE RIGHT CANDIDATE AND

38:44 - THIS OUTSIDE SPENDING TO

38:45 - ELEVATE WEAKER CANDIDATES.

38:46 - YOU KNOW, I THINK WILL

38:47 - ULTIMATELY BACKFIRE. AND TO GET

38:48 - TO YOUR POINT EARLIER IN THE

38:51 - SHOW, THE THE ADVERTISING USED

38:52 - TO ELEVATE MARK KINSLEY HAS US

38:55 - HAS A VERY DISTINCT ANTISEMITIC

38:57 - TOWN BY PUTTING AN ISRAELI FLAG

38:59 - OVER THE FACE OF SENATOR STEVE

39:02 - ZAHN. ESTERO FROM BUCKS COUNTY

39:03 - AND HIGHLIGHTING HIS

39:07 - AFFILIATION. I.

39:08 - FOR YOU IN THE IN THE PRIMARY

39:09 - AND THAT HE'S SUPPORTING

39:10 - BRADLEY MERKEL NOT BEEN THE

39:12 - PRIMARY. SO MY MY HOPE IS THAT

39:13 - THESE TACTICS ULTIMATELY END

39:16 - UP BEING NOT SUCCESSFUL.

39:17 - BUT ANY, YOU KNOW, BUT, YOU

39:19 - KNOW, RESOURCES SPENT TO

39:20 - INFLUENCE THE DEMOCRATIC

39:22 - PRIMARY ARE RESOURCES THAT

39:23 - WON'T EXIST TO FIND REPUBLICANS

39:24 - IN THE GENERAL. ULTIMATELY, I

39:26 - THINK SUGGESTING THE DEMOCRATS

39:27 - ARE GOING TO PICK UP THE SEAS,

39:28 - STATE, LEGISLATIVE AND FEDERAL.

39:31 - >>EARLIER THIS SPRING, THE

39:31 - DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL

39:33 - CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE WAS

39:35 - CRITICIZED FOR FINANCIALLY

39:36 - SUPPORTING 7TH DEMOCRATIC

39:38 - CANDIDATE

39:39 - BOB BROOKS, WE TALK A LITTLE

39:39 - BIT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER

39:41 - SIT WITH NATIONAL SUPPORT

39:42 - SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE

39:43 - PRIMARY ELECTION OR IS THERE

39:44 - MERIT TO LETTING THE CANDIDATES

39:44 - FIGHT IT OUT IN THE PRIMARY?

39:48 - >>CERTAINLY MERIT, YOU KNOW,

39:50 - AND AND CAMPAIGNING IN YOUR

39:50 - DISTRICT. AND WE'RE, YOU KNOW,

39:52 - WE'VE SEEN NATIONAL DEMOCRATS

39:53 - WEIGH IN. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT

39:53 - JUST THE DEMOCRATIC

39:55 - CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN

39:56 - COMMITTEE, OTHER NATIONAL

39:58 - GROUPS LIKE EMILY'S LIST CAME

39:59 - IN TO WEIGH IN EARLY FOR CAROL.

40:01 - AND IN THIS SEAT. AND SO I DO

40:03 - THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE SEE

40:04 - OUTSIDE SPENDING IN THESE

40:05 - PRIMARIES, YOU KNOW, WHETHER

40:06 - OR NOT IT'S THE PARTY, THE

40:08 - PARTY COMMITTEE WEIGHING IN,

40:11 - BUT I DO THINK IT CREATES

40:12 - RESOURCES TO COMMUNICATE THEIR

40:14 - POLICIES AND THEIR POSITIONS

40:15 - TO THE MOST LIKELY VOTERS TO

40:16 - ULTIMATELY LET THE VOTERS

40:18 - DECIDE. IT'S A IT'S A RESOURCE

40:20 - ISSUE. AND, YOU KNOW, EVEN

40:22 - WITHOUT THE TRIPLE C SUPPORT,

40:23 - YOU KNOW, RYAN CROSS WELL, AS

40:23 - YOU KNOW, COMPETITIVE CASH TO

40:26 - BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE, YOU

40:27 - KNOW, HIS POSITION TO TO VOTERS

40:28 - IN THAT DISTRICT AND THAT

40:30 - DISTRICT AS WELL. BUT IT'S

40:34 - ABOUT GETTING THE BEST POSSIBLE

40:35 - CANDIDATE TO TAKE ON

40:37 - REPUBLICANS IN THE FALL.

40:38 - >>LET'S SHIFT OUR FOCUS NOW TO

40:39 - THE 10TH CONGRESSIONAL. THAT'S

40:42 - THE SEAT CURRENTLY HELD BY

40:43 - SCOTT PERRY 2 YEARS AGO.

40:45 - JONELLE STILL SOME LOST THE

40:46 - SEAT BY ROUGHLY ABOUT ONE

40:46 - PERCENT. WHY HAS THIS BEEN SUCH

40:48 - A

40:49 - CLOSE RACE?

40:50 - >>YOU KNOW, THE DEM OF THE

40:52 - DEMOGRAPHICS ARE REALLY

40:53 - CHANGING, ESPECIALLY IN DAUPHIN

40:54 - COUNTY IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY.

40:57 - WE'RE SEEING EVEN IN MORE

40:57 - SOLIDLY REPUBLICAN AREAS.

40:58 - REPUBLICANS GOING INTO THE

41:00 - BALLOT BOX AND VOTING FOR

41:00 - DEMOCRATS. I THINK THE

41:04 - DEVELOPMENT, THE FAST, THE

41:05 - GROWING CUMBERLAND COUNTY IS

41:05 - CHANGING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

41:07 - AND I THINK THAT WILL HAVE

41:09 - IMPLICATIONS FOR THIS YEAR AND

41:10 - FOR SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE ROAD

41:13 - AS IT STARTS TO CHANGE

41:16 - CONGRESSMAN PERRY REALLY

41:17 - NEEDS TO. HE ALWAYS KIND OF

41:18 - LOSES DAUPHIN COUNTY, BUT HE

41:19 - NEEDS TO CONTAIN THAT MARGIN IN

41:23 - ORDER TO HANG ON TO A C AND

41:25 - WITH THE IN THE 2025 ELECTIONS,

41:26 - WE SAW SOME SOME FLIPS AND A

41:29 - LOT OF THE DAUPHIN COUNTY

41:30 - MUNICIPALITY AND SCHOOL BOARD

41:31 - AREAS. THAT'S WHERE HANNAH.

41:34 - SO, TARA, THOSE I THINK THAT

41:35 - THAT WILL HAVE AN IMPLICATION

41:37 - IN THIS RACE AND THAT HE WILL

41:38 - WE'LL LOSE BY A LARGER MARGIN

41:41 - IN DAUPHIN COUNTY.

41:43 - >>AND, YOU KNOW, STILL SEND,

41:43 - YOU KNOW, DECIDED TO PICK IT UP

41:45 - AND TAKE THIS CAMPAIGN ON FOR A

41:46 - SECOND TIME, I THINK WAS ONE OF

41:50 - THE BEST RECRUITING RECRUITING

41:50 - SUCCESS IS THAT WE HAD THE

41:52 - CYCLE. SHE CAME WITHIN 4,000

41:52 - VOTES A YEAR WHERE TRUMP WAS ON

41:56 - THE BALLOT AND NOW HAS A BETTER

41:58 - NAME ID. I THINK SHE WILL

41:59 - ULTIMATELY EMERGE SUCCESSFUL

42:00 - FROM THIS PRIMARY TOMORROW,

42:02 - BUT IT'S JUST ABLE TO

42:05 - COMMUNICATE FURTHER AND DEEPER

42:06 - INTO THE DISTRICT TIME. AND SO

42:07 - I DO. I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT

42:08 - HAVING HER BACK ON THE BALLOT

42:11 - WITH A KIND OF SUPPORT THAT

42:12 - SHE'S BEEN ABLE TO TO PUT

42:12 - TOGETHER, BEING ABLE TO OUT,

42:15 - RAISE THE CONGRESSMAN IN THIS

42:16 - DISTRICT DEMONSTRATES HOW HOW

42:17 - VULNERABLE HE IS AND HOW LIKELY

42:19 - WE THINK THE SEEDS TO PLANT.

42:22 - THIS HAS BEEN ON DEMOCRATIC

42:23 - RADAR FOR YEARS FROM LAND.

42:23 - EUGENE DEPASQUALE RAN FOR THE

42:27 - SEAT BEFORE. SO THIS WILL BE A

42:28 - HUGE PICKUP OPPORTUNITY FOR

42:28 - DEMOCRATS TO REPRESENT THIS

42:31 - DISTRICT.

42:32 - >>WHAT ELSE, ALLISON AND HER

42:34 - DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT, JUSTIN

42:35 - DOUGLAS, HAVE NOT DEBATED ONE

42:37 - ANOTHER ON STAGE FOR THIS

42:39 - PRIMARY ELECTION. IS THERE A

42:40 - BENEFIT TO BEING BATTLE TESTED

42:41 - IN DEBATING DURING THE PRIMARY?

42:46 - >>AND THERE'S A THERE'S A

42:47 - NECESSARILY A BENEFIT TO IT.

42:47 - BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, A LOT

42:50 - OF THESE DEBATES AND WE'VE

42:51 - SEEN, YOU KNOW, SO MANY OF

42:53 - THEM, YOU KNOW, HERE IN

42:54 - PHILADELPHIA, IN THE 3RD, IN

42:54 - THE 3RD CONGRESSIONAL, THERE'S

42:57 - A FORUM OR TO ALMOST EVERY

42:58 - SINGLE NIGHT, I THINK, YOU

42:59 - KNOW, ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW,

43:02 - MODERATORS, I THINK SOME

43:02 - SUPPORTERS ARE LOOKING FOR, YOU

43:05 - KNOW, THE KIND OF GOTCHA

43:06 - MOMENTS THAT THAT DERAIL

43:09 - CAMPAIGNS. AND SO I THINK IT'S

43:10 - VERY SMART OF JONELLE WHO IS

43:10 - SITTING VERY COMFORTABLY, YOU

43:12 - KNOW, WITH THE CASH ADVANTAGE

43:15 - TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, NOT

43:20 - RISK HAVING TO SAY OR OR OR OR

43:21 - I'LL DO ANYTHING THAT COULD

43:23 - HURT HER ULTIMATELY WITH THE

43:25 - BIG PRIZE IN THE BALL WITH THE

43:27 - RACE AGAINST PERRY. I THINK,

43:28 - YOU KNOW, WE SAW IN SOME OF

43:29 - THE PRIMARIES THAT BOB BROOKS

43:30 - WAS HIGHLY CRITICIZED FOR SOME

43:31 - OF THE COMMENTS THAT HE MADE

43:32 - IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

43:33 - AND ULTIMATELY THOSE COMMENTS.

43:38 - DO LESS TO I THINK INFLUENCE

43:39 - PRIMARY VOTERS AND DO MORE TO

43:40 - END UP HURTING OUR CANDIDATES

43:43 - IN ADVERTISING IN THE GENERAL

43:44 - ELECTION. AND SO IF I WERE

43:45 - ADVISING THE SALTON CAMPAIGN,

43:47 - GIVEN THE POSITION THAT SHE'S

43:48 - AN, YOU KNOW, HAPPY TO ANSWER

43:51 - QUESTIONNAIRES, HAPPY TOO.

43:52 - WE'LL SPEAK IN FRONT OF GROUPS.

43:54 - BUT THESE KIND OF, YOU KNOW,

43:59 - SITUATIONS WHERE YOU LOOK FOR

44:01 - THE KIND OF AGAIN, THE GOTCHA

44:03 - CAMPAIGN MOMENTS, I THINK

44:05 - ULTIMATELY END UP, YOU KNOW,

44:07 - HURTING PRETTY CAMPAIGNS IN THE

44:07 - DIGITAL SPACE IN IN NOVEMBER.

44:08 - AND I I WOULD TRY TO PREVENT

44:10 - THAT FROM HAPPENING.

44:11 - >>I AGREE. I MEAN, I SEE THE

44:14 - VALUE OF WANTING TO GET TO KNOW

44:15 - YOUR CANDIDATES A LITTLE BIT

44:17 - BETTER, ESPECIALLY FOR VOTERS.

44:20 - YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER DOUGLAS,

44:21 - WHAT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE

44:22 - BENEFICIARY OF DOING A DEBATE

44:23 - BECAUSE HE HAS A LITTLE BIT

44:24 - LESS MONEY THAN HER. HE HAS A

44:26 - CHANCE TO POSE.

44:27 - >>TALK TO HER ONE-ON-ONE IN

44:30 - THAT SPACE.

44:31 - I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE

44:33 - REALLY WATCHED DEBATES AS THEY

44:33 - HAPPEN UNLESS SOMETHING

44:34 - HAPPENED DURING THAT DEBATE AND

44:35 - THEN WE'LL WATCH THEM BACK.

44:38 - IT'S NOT AS

44:40 - IT'S NOT AS VIEW DOES NOT LIKE

44:40 - PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES. WE HAVE

44:43 - WATCH PARTIES AND AND ALL THOSE

44:44 - THINGS THAT THEY'RE JUST NOT AS

44:44 - HEAVILY VIEWED AND CAN ONLY

44:47 - REALLY DO DAMAGE.

44:48 - >>LET'S TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE

44:50 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY. DEMOCRATS

44:50 - AHEAD OF ONE SEAT ADVANTAGE FOR

44:53 - THE LAST 2 SESSIONS.

44:55 - >>AND IN THE SENATE, THE

44:57 - REPUBLICANS HOLD A 3 SEED

44:57 - ADVANTAGE TO SEE FOR FORESEE

44:58 - ANY SCENARIO WHERE CONTROL OF

44:59 - EITHER CHAMBER CHANGES.

45:02 - >>I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE.

45:04 - >>I THINK THAT WHEN YOU HAVE TO

45:05 - BE BOTH ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE,

45:08 - THAT IS.

45:09 - CHALLENGING. I THINK THERE'S

45:11 - MORE PLACES WHERE REPUBLICANS

45:14 - ARE ON DEFENSE THAN DEMOCRATS.

45:16 - SO THEY HAVE TO KIND OF REALLY

45:19 - HOLD THEIR BASE AND GAIN SOME

45:20 - GROUND. I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE.

45:21 - I DON'T SEE A LOT IN THE STATE

45:22 - HOUSE CHANGING TOO MUCH IN THE

45:25 - LAST CYCLE. MILLIONS AND

45:27 - MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE SPENT

45:28 - ON THAT CYCLE OF HOUSE RACES

45:31 - AND NOTHING CHANGED. NUMBERS

45:32 - WISE. SO I THINK THE HOUSE IS A

45:33 - LITTLE LESS VULNERABLE. BUT

45:39 - I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE.

45:39 - >>I'M SAYING HERE THEY WERE TO

45:44 - PUT THE SENATE. I THINK THAT,

45:45 - YOU KNOW, THIS IS I THINK

45:46 - PEOPLE ARE YOU FRUSTRATED WITH

45:48 - SOME OF THE THE STAGNATING

45:49 - BUDGET VOTES LAST CYCLE THAN

45:51 - 253 DAYS TO GET A BUDGET DONE

45:53 - LAST YEAR. I THINK I THINK

45:54 - PEOPLE IF THEY WANT TO SUPPORT

45:58 - JOSH SHAPIRO, THEY SHOULD GIVE

45:59 - HIM A DEMOCRATIC SENATE AND

46:01 - THE GOVERNING TRIFECTA AND THEY

46:03 - WILL SEE DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS

46:05 - IN THEIR LIVES FROM MINIMUM

46:05 - WAGE TO FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS TO

46:08 - FUNDING FOR TRANSIT. THIS GUN

46:11 - VIOLENCE, EDUCATION REFORM.

46:12 - SO MANY, YOU KNOW, SMART

46:12 - POLICIES ARE STUCK IN THE HOUSE

46:15 - BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MOVE IN THE

46:17 - SENATE. AND SO IF YOU KNOW, IF

46:18 - VOTERS WANT TO RELEASE, YOU

46:19 - KNOW, GIVE THE GOVERNOR AS MUCH

46:21 - INFLUENCE IN GOVERNMENT POWERS

46:23 - POSSIBLE WE SHOULD HELP WITH

46:24 - THE STATE SENATE SEATS. AND I

46:26 - THINK THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE

46:27 - YEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.

46:30 - THERE'S NO GREAT RECRUITS, AN

46:31 - ISLAND, APPLE, OUR INBOX COUNTY

46:32 - ALREADY A COUNTY WIDE ELECTED

46:34 - OFFICIAL TAKING ON FRANK FARRY.

46:37 - WE'RE SEEING, YOU KNOW, I WAS

46:38 - DIZZY AS IN FOR CHRIS THOMAS,

46:39 - YOU KNOW, IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY

46:40 - TAKING ON A PRETTY PENNY COOK.

46:42 - AND AGAIN, EVEN THAT YOU'RE

46:43 - HOME IN SEAT WAS THAT PRIMARY

46:44 - RESULTS? I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE

46:46 - TO COALESCE, YOU KNOW,

46:47 - ULTIMATELY BEHIND BEHIND THAT

46:48 - NOMINEE. BUT I I THINK THIS IS

46:51 - THE YEAR THAT WE FOCUS ON.

46:52 - >>IN RECENT YEARS, REPUBLICANS

46:53 - HAVE IN PENNSYLVANIA BEEN

46:55 - CLOSING THE GAP ON DEMOCRATS

46:56 - AND VOTER REGISTRATION. WHAT DO

46:57 - YOU THINK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR

46:58 - THAT? I THINK SOME OF IT AS THE

47:01 - MOTOR VOTER PROGRAM. I THINK

47:01 - PEOPLE ARE REGISTERING TO VOTE

47:02 - MORE FREQUENTLY. VOTER DROPPED

47:04 - THE I KNOW THE REPUBLICANS HAVE

47:08 - REALLY TRIED TO. HAVE A

47:09 - STRATEGY ON INCREASING VOTER

47:10 - TURNOUT. AND THAT INCLUDES LIKE

47:11 - VOTER REGISTRATION THROUGHOUT

47:12 - THE STATE. AND I THINK THE

47:13 - DEMOGRAPHICS ARE CHANGING A

47:16 - LITTLE BIT. AND PENNSYLVANIA.

47:17 - WE'VE GOT MORE OLDER VOTERS.

47:19 - TYPICALLY THAT OUR MORE LIKELY

47:21 - TO BE REPUBLICAN IN SOME AREAS.

47:24 - BUT I THINK THERE'S JUST BEEN

47:28 - LESS APATHY WHEN IT COMES TO

47:29 - VOTER REGISTRATION AND PEOPLE

47:30 - ARE REGISTERING TO WE'RE

47:30 - GETTING NEW PEOPLE WHEN THEY

47:31 - GET THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE.

47:33 - THERE.

47:34 - REGISTERING TO VOTE

47:35 - AUTOMATICALLY. SO I THINK THAT

47:35 - THERE'S BEEN A CONCERTED

47:36 - EFFORT. AND THEN THERE'S JUST

47:38 - BEEN TOOLS IN PLACE TO INCREASE

47:40 - THE VOTER REGISTRATION ACROSS

47:43 - THE PARTY SPECTRUM.

47:44 - >>I THINK THE DEMOCRATS IN THE

47:47 - PAST YEARS HAVE CEDED SOME OF

47:48 - THE PARTISAN VOTER REGISTRATION

47:48 - TO THESE NON-PARTISAN GROUP

47:49 - THAT CAN COME IN AND DO COLLEGE

47:55 - CAMPUSES AND THEY THEY DO NOT

47:56 - PARTISAN VOTER REGISTRATION AND

47:57 - THE HOPES WITH IT AND DOING

47:58 - IT IN PLACES WITH STRONG

47:59 - DEMOCRATIC BASE IS THAT WE

48:00 - WOULD ULTIMATELY END UP

48:01 - REGISTERING MORE DEMOCRATS.

48:03 - I THINK IT'S BEEN REALLY SMART

48:05 - OF THE NEW PENNSYLVANIA

48:06 - DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN, EUGENE

48:08 - DEEP AS WELL TO GET BACK TO

48:10 - DOING PARTISAN VOTER

48:11 - REGISTRATION AND INVEST REAL

48:12 - RESOURCES AND MAKING SURE THAT

48:16 - THAT WE REVERSE THE TREND.

48:18 - A REPUBLICAN VOTER

48:18 - REGISTRATIONS. AND SO I THINK

48:20 - THAT'S SOMETHING HE'S BEEN

48:21 - TALKING ABOUT. AND I THINK IT'S

48:22 - SMART FOR US TO TO TAKE A REAL

48:25 - PARTISAN EFFORT IN DOING VOTER

48:26 - REGISTRATION.

48:26 - >>I THINK ALSO BOTH PARTIES,

48:27 - THE CHANGE FROM LEAVE FROM

48:30 - VOTERS LEADING PARTIES

48:31 - AFFILIATIONS HAS SOME SOME

48:32 - IMPACT ON THAT AS WELL. WHETHER

48:32 - THEY'RE BEING NOT AFFILIATED

48:35 - INDEPENDENT VOTER, BOTH SIDES

48:39 - HAVE SEEN THAT TRANSITION.

48:39 - >>AND IN AND IN A CLOSED

48:40 - PRIMARY STATE WITH BUSINESS

48:42 - AIRILY HELP THEM. AND SO, YOU

48:42 - KNOW, I THINK THAT IF WE'RE

48:45 - SEEING, YOU KNOW, VOTERS

48:46 - REGISTERED UNAFFILIATED, THEN

48:47 - MAYBE THERE IS SOME MERIT TO

48:48 - PUSHING, YOU KNOW, THIS OPEN

48:48 - PRIMARIES LEGISLATION, BUT THAT

48:52 - IS IN HARRISBURG, BUT ALLOWING

48:53 - INDEPENDENTS TO VOTE IN

48:55 - PRIMARIES. AND I THINK THAT

48:58 - WOULD THAT WOULD CREATE AN

48:59 - INTERESTING AND THEY CHALLENGE

49:00 - BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

49:01 - AND INDEPENDENTS DEPENDING ON

49:03 - WHERE THEY WERE WERE WERE

49:04 - ALLOWED TO VOTE IN PRIMARIES

49:05 - THAT WOULD AND THEN RELEASED

49:06 - SHAKE UP OUR OUR ELECTION

49:08 - SYSTEM.

49:08 - >>WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO SEE

49:09 - WHEN THE RESULTS COME IN

49:12 - TOMORROW NIGHT? IT STARS TURN

49:13 - OUT. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE

49:14 - A HIGH TURNOUT ON BOTH SIDES.

49:16 - I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE

49:17 - MAIL-IN BALLOTS FROM

49:18 - REPUBLICANS AND PRETTY HIGH

49:20 - TURNOUT, OBVIOUSLY IN THESE

49:23 - AREAS ON BOTH SIDES AND MAYBE

49:24 - LESS MORE APATHY IN SOME OF

49:25 - THE ROAD WHERE THERE'S NOT A

49:26 - LOT GOING ON ON YOUR BALLOT.

49:28 - I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE I'VE

49:29 - TALKED TO THE DIDN'T REALLY

49:29 - EVEN HAVE CHOICES ON THEIR

49:31 - BALLOT. IT WAS THE OTHER RIGHT

49:32 - AND SOME WANT TO VOTE FOR THE

49:35 - PERSON THAT'S RUNNING SO THOSE

49:36 - AREAS MAYBE SEE A LITTLE BIT

49:37 - MORE DOWN TECH. BUT IN THESE

49:39 - COMPETITIVE PRIMARIES, EVEN

49:42 - IF YOUR REPUBLICAN AND

49:44 - THEY HAVE A COMPETITIVE PRIMARY

49:44 - ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, I COULD

49:46 - SEE HIGHER TURNOUT THERE, TOO,

49:47 - BECAUSE THEY ARE SEEING THESE

49:50 - MAIL PIECES AND AND

49:51 - ADS ON TV AND RADIO. AND I LIKE

49:52 - MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING TO PAY

49:53 - ATTENTION ABOUT. I WILL GIVE

49:56 - YOU THE LAST WORD.

49:58 - >>I THINK THE VOTERS OF BOTH

50:01 - PARTIES ARE READY TO GO TO THE

50:03 - BALLOT BOX TOMORROW AND

50:04 - REGISTER THEIR EITHER SUPPORT

50:06 - OR DISPLEASURE WITH HOW THINGS

50:06 - ARE GOING. I THINK DEMOCRATS

50:10 - HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE

50:11 - SIGNIFICANT ENTHUSIASM FOR IT

50:13 - TO COMPETE IN THIS COMPETITIVE

50:14 - PRIMARIES, BUT ALSO TO MAKE

50:15 - SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY SEND

50:17 - A STRONG SIGNAL THAT WE'RE

50:17 - BACKING. GOVERNOR SHAPIRO ARE

50:19 - EXCITED FOR THE GET HIM

50:21 - RE-ELECTED. AND ULTIMATELY, I

50:22 - THINK THE ENTHUSIASM FROM

50:23 - DEMOCRATS TOMORROW, WHICH WE I

50:26 - THINK WE WILL SEE ACROSS THE

50:27 - COMMONWEALTH WILL CARRY US TO A

50:29 - HUGE SUCCESS IN NOVEMBER.

50:30 - SO I'M I'M FEELING PRETTY

50:31 - BULLISH ON ON OUR CHANCES AS

50:33 - WELL.

50:33 - >>OUR GUESTS HAVE BE MONTGOMERY

50:36 - PRINCIPAL AT RITTENHOUSE

50:37 - POLITICAL PARTNERS AND JESSICA

50:40 - KEMMER GOVERNMENT AND STRATEGIC

50:40 - AT KATC ADVISER AND THE CASE

50:41 - GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. LADIES,

50:42 - THANK YOU BOTH FOR JOINING US

50:43 - TODAY.

50:43 - >>THANK YOU. THANKS SO MUCH FOR

50:46 - HAVING US.

50:47 - >>BCN RECENTLY SPOKE WITH

50:48 - REPRESENTATIVE CHAD RECORD ON

50:49 - HIS LEGISLATION TO CREATE A

50:50 - SALES TAX HOLIDAY AND FIREARMS

50:53 - AND FIREARMS. PLUS.

50:58 - >>WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.

50:58 - IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO

50:59 - INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO CREATE

51:00 - A SIX-MONTH SALES TAX HOLIDAY

51:01 - ON FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION,

51:05 - >>THIS IS ACTUALLY PART OF A

51:08 - LARGER PACKAGE OF LEGISLATION.

51:09 - AND HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE ARE

51:10 - SPONSORING RIGHT NOW.

51:11 - OBVIOUSLY, THAT COMBAT INFLATE.

51:13 - A PENNSYLVANIA FAMILIES ARE

51:19 - FACING. SO I YOU KNOW,

51:19 - REPRESENTATIVES KRISTEN

51:20 - MARCELLA NARRATIVE AND SO HAVE

51:20 - LEGISLATION THAT WOULD HAVE

51:24 - IT OUT A HOLIDAY ON GROWS

51:25 - RECEIVES TAX FOR ELECTRICITY.

51:28 - THAT SORT OF STUFF. SOME OTHER

51:30 - APPS HAVE BACK-TO-SCHOOL

51:32 - SUPPLIES, TOILETRIES POOLS,

51:32 - FIREFIGHTER EQUIPMENT. SO THIS

51:33 - IS JUST, YOU KNOW, 1, 1, PIECE

51:35 - OF THAT PACKAGE. WE'RE AGAIN,

51:36 - AS AS HOUSE REPUBLICANS WERE

51:38 - LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, ENSURE

51:40 - THAT MORE AND MORE

51:41 - PENNSYLVANIANS SAFE SAVE MONEY

51:42 - ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS WITH THE

51:43 - THINGS THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY

51:44 - PURCHASING.

51:45 - >>WHEN WITH THE 6 MONTH HOLIDAY

51:47 - OCCUR.

51:48 - >>SO IT BEGIN BEGIN IN JULY AND

51:49 - WOULD GO THROUGH THE END OF

51:53 - THE YEAR. I WAS THERE, I GUESS

51:53 - THAT SITE WAS A SPECIFIC REASON

51:54 - WHY YOU CHOSE THAT TIME PERIOD

51:57 - FOR THIS.

51:59 - >>WELL, I THINK THE IDEA IS

52:00 - COAST, IT COINCIDES WITH THE

52:01 - BEGINNING OF THE NEXT FISCAL

52:03 - YEAR FOR THE STATE'S A JULY.

52:04 - 1ST AND THEN CARRYING OUT FOR

52:05 - THE REMAINDER OF 2026. WILL

52:07 - GET US.

52:08 - AND LOOK AT OBVIOUSLY REVISIT

52:12 - IT IN IN DECEMBER. IT EXTEND

52:14 - THOSE, YOU KNOW, AS AS YOU

52:15 - KNOW, THINGS ARE NEEDED FURTHER

52:18 - ON HOW THE ROAD 2027.

52:20 - >>WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO, YOU

52:23 - KNOW, YOU OTHER HOUSE

52:24 - REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING ON

52:27 - DIFFERENT INITIATIVES TO COMBAT

52:28 - INFLATION. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE

52:29 - THE FIREARM AND AMMUNITION

52:31 - INDUSTRY?

52:32 - >>SO IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY

52:33 - INTERESTING. THERE ARE A COUPLE

52:36 - OTHER STATES OF FLORIDA, A

52:36 - MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA ALL

52:39 - HAVE, QUOTE, UNQUOTE.

52:40 - IT'S WHERE THEY HAVE A CERTAIN

52:43 - PERIOD OF TIME EVERY YEAR AND

52:44 - THAT THERE IS A SALES AND USE

52:47 - TAX OR WHATEVER THEIR

52:47 - EQUIVALENT IS EXEMPTION FOR

52:48 - THOSE ITEMS. SO IT'S IT'S NOT

52:50 - UNHEARD OF FOR ME. YOU KNOW,

52:52 - GROWING UP HUNTING AND FISHING

52:54 - THAT'S IN FOR A LOT OF FOLKS

52:55 - BACK HERE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY.

52:58 - I MEAN, THAT'S NOT ONLY A MEANS

53:01 - OF RECREATION, BUT IT ALSO

53:01 - MEANS OF SUSTENANCE. RIGHT.

53:02 - AND I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS

53:04 - THAT.

53:06 - THEY HAVE FOOD IN THEIR FREEZER

53:07 - BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MOM AND DAD

53:09 - WENT OUT, THEY FILLED IT WITH,

53:10 - YOU KNOW, YOU ARE THERE OR

53:10 - WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.

53:13 - SO

53:15 - THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN

53:16 - FIREARMS, OWNERSHIP. FOR ME,

53:16 - IT'S REALLY NEAR AND DEAR TO

53:17 - MY HEART AND SOMETHING I GREW

53:18 - UP DOING IT AGAIN. A LOT OF

53:19 - FOLKS HERE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY

53:23 - VERY HEAVILY UTILIZED THAT AND

53:24 - JUST AGAIN, PROVIDING A LITTLE

53:25 - BIT OF RELIEF FOR FOLKS,

53:26 - ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, THIS INTO

53:28 - THEIR SEASON AND THINGS LIKE

53:28 - THAT. I THINK IT'S JUST A GREAT

53:31 - OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW, YOU KNOW,

53:33 - THE NEXT GENERATION OF HUNTERS

53:36 - TO GO OUT, PURCHASED GETTING

53:36 - FIREARMS OR YOU MAY GET LITTLE

53:37 - BIT MORE COST-EFFECTIVE FOR THE

53:40 - PURCHASE OF IT.

53:41 - >>NOW, DOES THIS ONLY APPLIED

53:42 - TO HUNTING RIFLES OR OTHER

53:44 - FORMS OF A FIREARMS AS WELL?

53:46 - >>NOTES IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD,

53:47 - RIGHT? SO WOULD BE ALL FIREARMS

53:51 - OR AMMO. I THINK THE STATE

53:52 - CONSTITUTION HAS UNIFORM

53:54 - TAXATION CAUSE. SO YOU CAN'T

53:56 - REALLY SINGLE OUT CERTAIN

53:57 - CERTAIN ITEMS WITH THAT.

53:57 - SO I THINK THERE'LL BE SOME

54:00 - CHALLENGES, PERHAPS, YOU KNOW,

54:01 - JUST NARROW IT DOWN AGAIN.

54:03 - YOU KNOW THIS. IT'S A IT'S A

54:04 - BROAD THING AS WELL. I MEAN,

54:05 - YOU KNOW, THE SECOND AMENDMENT

54:06 - ISN'T ISN'T JUST FOR HUNTING.

54:08 - IT'S, YOU KNOW, PERSONAL

54:09 - PROTECTION THINGS ALONG THOSE

54:13 - LINES, TOO. SO I SO THE SALES

54:14 - AND USE TAX. I MEAN, IT'S IT'S

54:14 - IT'S BROADER THAN JUST

54:15 - HAUNTING. BUT, YOU KNOW, AS

54:17 - AN EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS

54:18 - GOING INTO THE WOODS HERE THIS

54:19 - FALL. IT CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW,

54:22 - BENEFIT FROM THAT RELIEF.

54:22 - >>WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ANYONE

54:25 - WHO MAY BE CONCERNED ABOUT EASY

54:28 - ACCESS TO THESE FIREARMS DURING

54:31 - THIS HOLIDAY.

54:32 - >>WE SURE I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT

54:33 - DOESN'T IT DOESN'T RELIEVE THE

54:34 - FOLKS FROM THE CURRENT THINGS

54:35 - THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE IN THE

54:37 - BACKGROUND CHECKS AND IN A IN A

54:38 - CERTAIN ITEMS THAT, YOU KNOW,

54:41 - CERTAIN THINGS. I MEAN, WHEN

54:43 - YOU GO, YOU PURCHASE A FIREARM.

54:44 - YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

54:44 - IT NOW. AND THERE'S THERE'S NO

54:47 - SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE THAT AS

54:48 - RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS WE ARE

54:48 - ALREADY HAVE. WE HAVE LAWS IN

54:51 - PLACE TO ENSURE THAT.

54:55 - I WILL DOUBLE FOR PURCHASING

54:56 - FIREARMS TO, IN FACT DO IT.

54:56 - SO THAT DOESN'T GO AWAY.

54:58 - IT JUST MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT.

54:59 - WE'RE COST OF 40 OR MORE

55:00 - COST-EFFECTIVE FOR FOLKS TO BE

55:02 - ABLE TO GO OUT AND PURCHASE

55:03 - THOSE.

55:04 - >>LASTLY, WHERE IS THIS BILL IN
