Speaker 3: As you know, we had an election here in my
Speaker 3: neck of the woods, Jones County, Mississippi, in Senate District
Speaker 3: forty two. It is the Senate district that was formerly
Speaker 3: held by our good friend and one of the original
Speaker 3: founders of the Right Side Radio show, Chris McDaniel. There
Speaker 3: was some gamesmanship played by Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hoseman in
Speaker 3: this redistricting which forced this special election in the first place.
Speaker 3: But what he did is he carved out a section
Speaker 3: of Jones County, and by doing that, he drew Chris
Speaker 3: McDaniel out of his own district. He drew me out
Speaker 3: of the district, and several other people such as myself,
Speaker 3: who weren't able to vote yesterday, weren't able to participate.
Speaker 3: The incumbent Senator Robin Robinson voted yes on these new
Speaker 3: district lines, and as such, she faced a challenger in
Speaker 3: Don Hardiness, and I'm happy to say that Don was
Speaker 3: able to win this race yesterday in a dominating fashion
Speaker 3: over seventy percent of the vote. I think it's still unofficial,
Speaker 3: but over seventy percent of the vote went to Don,
Speaker 3: and Don is gracious enough. I know he's super tired
Speaker 3: after watching election results, knocking on doors and then all
Speaker 3: day today he's been out picking up his campaign signs,
Speaker 3: but he's still been gracious enough to join me here
Speaker 3: on the Right Side Radio show. Don. Welcome to the
Speaker 3: program again.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Jack, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3: Well, Don, I want to do because I think this
Speaker 3: is the first time you've been on the Right Side
Speaker 3: since you guest hosted once after my father passed, And
Speaker 3: as I've done with Jim and Jerrel and Chris, I've
Speaker 3: taken the time to thank each and every single one
Speaker 3: of all for filling in for me during that period
Speaker 3: when talking into a microphone just was not something I
Speaker 3: was ready to do yet. So again, let me let
Speaker 3: me start off by thanking you for doing that for
Speaker 3: me during that time.
Speaker 5: You're welcome Jack.
Speaker 3: Well, Don, you know, let's talk about this race, because again,
Speaker 3: when you got in this race, I think you knew
Speaker 3: it as well as most people. You were viewed as
Speaker 3: a long shot. This was probably a circled safe race
Speaker 3: for Senator Robinson. And again, what made you decide to
Speaker 3: get in when it looked like the odds were probably
Speaker 3: going to be stacked against you.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you know, you get so many distractions
Speaker 4: in the race, and what ended up happening, Uh, you
Speaker 4: know you had you know, when you.
Speaker 5: Have the distractions.
Speaker 4: My I tell my wife is pretty much she and
Speaker 4: I it's just keep keep knocking on doors. The rest
Speaker 4: of it will fix itself in time. And we had
Speaker 4: the basically the wind was behind our backs during the
Speaker 4: uh we felt like had the first go round was
Speaker 4: it seemed like we had walls that just kept coming up.
Speaker 5: This time with with Dal and his article in the
Speaker 5: Laurel Leader call.
Speaker 3: And that's Judge Dal Williamson here in Jones County for
Speaker 3: for listeners that aren't sure who you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Right, and when he wrote that article and name names
Speaker 4: and how this redition hurt the judicial system in Jones County.
Speaker 5: Uh, people started paying attention.
Speaker 4: And when that happened, of course in the districts and
Speaker 4: people started looking, hey, this you know may and this
Speaker 4: precinct anymore.
Speaker 5: I mean, they really started taking a hard look.
Speaker 4: And during the election yesterday, what we found out is
Speaker 4: that during that time is that people were going down
Speaker 4: to the polls to vote and found out that they
Speaker 4: were in a different district.
Speaker 5: I did hear that.
Speaker 4: I think it was in the Powers precinct. Folks were
Speaker 4: very upset and calling their friends to make sure that
Speaker 4: since they couldn't vote, that somebody in forty two could
Speaker 4: come to the precinct and vote for them. I mean,
Speaker 4: they were called people left and right. So it really
Speaker 4: energized this campaign. I think that's why you see the
Speaker 4: numbers where they are is because people were really fired
Speaker 4: up and upset about the redistrict and they found out
Speaker 4: kind of late. So until they showed up, did they
Speaker 4: know what was going on?
Speaker 3: You know, Judge Williamson's article was about a month two
Speaker 3: months before the election, so there was plenty of time
Speaker 3: for people to see it, forget about it and have
Speaker 3: that cool off. And then about two weeks maybe three
Speaker 3: weeks before Chris McDaniels started commenting on the fact that
Speaker 3: he was drawn out of the race. Do you think
Speaker 3: that when Chris started to get involved and started to
Speaker 3: post stuff on social media, talk about it on Chris
Speaker 3: McDaniels America, do you think that kind of helped really
Speaker 3: tip the skills in your favor.
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's a no brainer. It doesn't take you know,
Speaker 4: a master businessist to figure out. When Chris entered this
Speaker 4: and put the information on Facebook, it really fired people up.
Speaker 4: I mean he basically, you know, told the truth of
Speaker 4: what was going on actually in the race. Of course,
Speaker 4: your lates won't, our establishment won't won't say that, hey,
Speaker 4: that Chris wasn't a target, but he was, and we
Speaker 4: all know it by the drawing. It doesn't, like I said,
Speaker 4: it doesn't take once you look at the draw and
Speaker 4: you can see that they went around his home. But
Speaker 4: in their infinite wisdom, you know, for what man uses
Speaker 4: for evil, God makes for good. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 4: my wife looked at me several times during the election said,
Speaker 4: this one feels different. This election feels she said, I
Speaker 4: could feel the hand of God on this everything that
Speaker 4: happens as it's like that we had to win behind
Speaker 4: us the whole time and the time and between mister
Speaker 4: Wimson and Chris McDaniel and uh, it just there was
Speaker 4: we felt like we were going to win this thing,
Speaker 4: but we had no idea how large.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now let's go back two years ago. You ran
Speaker 3: against n Or Robinson, then we're unsuccessful. If this race,
Speaker 3: if the redistricting hadn't happened, and this race was a
Speaker 3: regular four year term, would you have considered running again?
Speaker 3: Or do you think that in that situation where she
Speaker 3: doesn't have these two bad votes hanging over her head,
Speaker 3: do you think that she would have been beatable?
Speaker 5: Well, hindsight, you know, it's always twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: I've always wanted to run, and then at first I
Speaker 4: got a taste of it, you know, being short about
Speaker 4: fifteen hundred and fifty votes, I have, you know, been
Speaker 4: on the outside looking in for a lot of years.
Speaker 4: Started with the Tea Party movement and to DC twice
Speaker 4: Marsha Pennsylvania Avenue, got to see Chris and meet Chris
Speaker 4: and nine and when he ran against that, and I
Speaker 4: really got interested. And in fact, if it hadn't been
Speaker 4: believed it or not for Obama, I probably wouldn't have
Speaker 4: been in as deep as I was. When he made
Speaker 4: the statement that our veterans, our military uh with with
Speaker 4: Sanata Mertha up in Pennsylvania, when they said our soldiers
Speaker 4: get up in the darkened night and kill innocent women
Speaker 4: and children, that set me off. And then of course
Speaker 4: the tea Party movement happened. Chris was a big part
Speaker 4: of that. I was a big part of it. So
Speaker 4: you know, I've been interjected with this for a long time,
Speaker 4: and Chris, if he hasn't done anything at all.
Speaker 5: It has fired up the conservatives around the state.
Speaker 4: And I'm lucky to have many of what I did
Speaker 4: because I've met a lot of good people across this state.
Speaker 4: In fact, some of them, a lot of them ran
Speaker 4: a few years ago and and a lot of us
Speaker 4: got you know, defeated at that time. But we just
Speaker 4: have to take the bull by the horns and just
Speaker 4: keep plugging along and get get in there and change
Speaker 4: the state absolutely.
Speaker 3: And we we we are happy to have people like
Speaker 3: you that are fighters, that are willing to stand and fight.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: And I'm going to get to some other questions on
Speaker 3: that here in a second, but let's let's keep going
Speaker 3: because again the Laurel Leader Call broke the story on redistricting.
Speaker 3: Josh Kuru Nichols wrote the story talking about how the
Speaker 3: lines were drawn. Uh, you knew about the crooked lines
Speaker 3: before the article broke. You knew about the crooked lines
Speaker 3: before you even announced you were running. Correct, Yes, you
Speaker 3: know I looked at the map.
Speaker 4: The maps that we had were legislative maps, and they
Speaker 4: weren't just exact, they were kind of generic.
Speaker 5: Uh you know, so you audition research.
Speaker 4: In fact, when I did my maps, when I started walking,
Speaker 4: I actually got one of the Google maps and started
Speaker 4: writing in streets because, uh, you know, when you run
Speaker 4: running race, you don't want to call on a you know,
Speaker 4: two or three hundred homes and not in the district itself.
Speaker 5: So you know, I spent a lot of midnight all
Speaker 5: doing that. So made sure I did a good job
Speaker 5: with that.
Speaker 3: Absolutely the factors in this race because again we talked
Speaker 3: about those two bad votes, but there are a couple
Speaker 3: of other votes in there, Like she voted for medicaid expansion,
Speaker 3: which is something that Msissippi Governor Tate Reeves has said
Speaker 3: played a major role in not just her race, but
Speaker 3: other races that went against folks who voted to expand medicaid.
Speaker 3: Uh So, again, there were there were other votes. I'm
Speaker 3: sure that you were watching that made you want to
Speaker 3: get involved in this race again. Uh So, again, when
Speaker 3: you look at this and you see how everything played out,
Speaker 3: it seems like you you knew that there was even
Speaker 3: if it was a long shot that this there might
Speaker 3: be a perfect storm setting up if you could just
Speaker 3: get the information out to the people.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, the the information that was a uh that
Speaker 4: was in in my pitch and another something else that
Speaker 4: happened during the race.
Speaker 5: Of course when r J. Her brother entered into it.
Speaker 4: I believe that helped my calls as well, because in
Speaker 4: going through the ballot with who is going to be
Speaker 4: on the ballot, when you mentioned those two names, you know,
Speaker 4: the eyebrow goes up.
Speaker 5: Well, is that her relative was her brother and.
Speaker 4: The belief system, I can't believe a brother would run
Speaker 4: against a sitting sister.
Speaker 5: Something is not right.
Speaker 4: So they started questioning whether or not she was up
Speaker 4: for the job based on if you can't hand you
Speaker 4: handle your family business in private, then why would you
Speaker 4: we send you to Jackson if you can't handle something
Speaker 4: that simple?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Uh, you know again, and this is I don't
Speaker 3: know if this is common in a smaller you know
Speaker 3: state sended election or or whatnot. But did Senator Robinson,
Speaker 3: has she called you or since you one to you know,
Speaker 3: concede or congratulate you.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the first time we ran I sent
Speaker 4: her a little message. I don't know if it was
Speaker 4: a messenger. It was on her Facebook page and congratulated on.
Speaker 5: On her on her run. I didn't even have her
Speaker 5: phone number, so I didn't really know how to get
Speaker 5: a hold of her.
Speaker 4: And the social media you can do that. And she
Speaker 4: did the same for me on on this congratulating me.
Speaker 4: And and that's the vices with me where I'm not
Speaker 4: you know, not looking for you know, you know, a
Speaker 4: phone call and saying that you know, hey, the best
Speaker 4: person won, all that kind of stuff. I think that
Speaker 4: that's enough of what we did.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you talked about how this race felt different than
Speaker 3: two years ago. And and I know for a fact
Speaker 3: that you knocked on as many doors as you can.
Speaker 3: You might have knocked on every door in your district,
Speaker 3: knowing how hard you were out there working. Uh, tell
Speaker 3: me a little bit about what you were hearing, is
Speaker 3: you were going door to door that that led you
Speaker 3: and your wife Jerry Lynn to feel like this was
Speaker 3: this was a different race.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, when you're going through your your card
Speaker 4: and talking a little bit about yourself and you get
Speaker 4: in some conversations and you know, you talked about the
Speaker 4: you know, the redistrict and when it started becoming a
Speaker 4: hot button, and I'd have people to ask me, well
Speaker 4: am I in the district or not? And you show
Speaker 4: them the map and where they were at and that
Speaker 4: type thing. And uh, of course the voting record was big,
Speaker 4: you know, the medicaid expansion. In fact, UH went to
Speaker 4: you know a lot of rural places in Jones County.
Speaker 5: You go to Union, you go to you know, Rainy,
Speaker 5: you go to.
Speaker 4: Mosale and so you know a lot of chicken farms there.
Speaker 4: And in fact, if I'm not mistaken, the property tax
Speaker 4: on the chicken farm buildings themselves, Uh, she had approved
Speaker 4: too or voted in some building.
Speaker 5: I don't have the build number in front of me.
Speaker 4: But the gentleman that I would sit with at lunch
Speaker 4: or talk about their their increase and property taxes on
Speaker 4: the buildings on the chicken farm. So you know their
Speaker 4: margins are small enough because they're dealing with you know,
Speaker 4: the Sanderson Zee Tysons or who you know, whomever they're
Speaker 4: they're growing for. Is that your margins get tight. So
Speaker 4: if your taxes go up, you and I know that
Speaker 4: generally that farmer is paying for it.
Speaker 5: Uh. And somehow he's got to recoup that increase in
Speaker 5: taxes on his farm.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Uh, let me ask this so you know, because again,
Speaker 3: there are a lot of us, such as myself, who
Speaker 3: have been drawn into a district that is going to
Speaker 3: be a Democrat controlled district. The lines are drawn as
Speaker 3: such to where it's going to be a true challenge
Speaker 3: to to get a Republican, a conservative elected. How important
Speaker 3: is it for you to represent us, even though we're
Speaker 3: not technically in your district anymore? How important is it
Speaker 3: for you to be our voice as well?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: Jack, you know the.
Speaker 5: Weird thing about this.
Speaker 4: I moved here in twenty nineteen, and you know, so
Speaker 4: basically an outside I was in Ranking County for twenty
Speaker 4: plus years and was involved in, you know, several groups
Speaker 4: up there, and I moved down here because of in
Speaker 4: laws and we were taking care of their property, and
Speaker 4: so I got down here. I mean, you do what
Speaker 4: you need to do for family. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 4: the way we're all built. And so I moved down here.
Speaker 4: Didn't have any plans on you know, politics. I was
Speaker 4: part of a couple of groups and kept informed. But
Speaker 4: when this opportunity came up, and uh, you know, put
Speaker 4: my name out there and and ran.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's a it's an experience that basically we
Speaker 4: took a year of our life between the last election
Speaker 4: and this mark. I looking at the amount of months
Speaker 4: we spent knocking on doors, it was almost a year.
Speaker 4: I mean, we've spent a year of our lives knocking
Speaker 4: on doors.
Speaker 5: But we learned a lot.
Speaker 4: We learned a lot about people when you talk on
Speaker 4: the porches, the front steps, the yards, mowing grass wherever
Speaker 4: it is, and you had a conversation, you wanting to
Speaker 4: knock and go on. But I tell you, you get
Speaker 4: so much information when people are you know, or leisure
Speaker 4: at their home and open up to what makes them.
Speaker 5: Tick and what they need to do. You know what
Speaker 5: legislators need to do.
Speaker 4: You know, we have two ears and one mouth. You know,
Speaker 4: we're supposed to listen more than we talk. And then
Speaker 4: the other thing is I always have this believe as
Speaker 4: somebody who has served in this country, is that you know,
Speaker 4: in the end, you basically you just you're the employe
Speaker 4: er or the employee and your constituents or the employers.
Speaker 4: You serve your constituents, you serve your family, you serve
Speaker 4: your wife. So you should be a servant in any
Speaker 4: capacity in your life. And when you're a true servant,
Speaker 4: then your needs get bet as well. So it helps
Speaker 4: everybody when you have that attitude done.
Speaker 3: When you get up there, and you probably already know this,
Speaker 3: you're going to be greeted by leadership. They're going to
Speaker 3: come to you their hands out and asking you to
Speaker 3: play ball with them and ask you to maybe betray
Speaker 3: campaign promises along the way. What are you going to
Speaker 3: do when those members of leadership come up to you
Speaker 3: and start asking you to betray these campaign promises you've made.
Speaker 4: Well, I've already reached out to conservative legislators there in
Speaker 4: the House, in the Senate, We've talked about things.
Speaker 5: I am not one.
Speaker 4: I'm not a yes man, never have been, never will be.
Speaker 4: I don't want to put myself in a situation. I
Speaker 4: want to make sure I'm guarded and protected. I had
Speaker 4: two pieces of advice given me by lobbyist and labeled,
Speaker 4: and he told me two things to remember when I
Speaker 4: went to Jackson.
Speaker 5: He said.
Speaker 4: The first thing is you buy your own lunch. He said,
Speaker 4: Then you're not beholding anybody on anything that they're you know,
Speaker 4: trying to sell you. Why you're going to lunch, he said.
Speaker 4: Number two, he said after after session parties and that
Speaker 4: type of thing.
Speaker 5: He said, don't go. And he said the reason you
Speaker 5: don't go, he said, I have seen many a legislator
Speaker 5: go to Jackson and go to these little deals, and
Speaker 5: you know, there's money offered in campaigns or a promise
Speaker 5: if you get a bill done, somebody in your family
Speaker 5: gets a job. I mean, you know, it's a you know,
Speaker 5: it's a dinner thieves.
Speaker 4: So you really have to be careful and guarded and
Speaker 4: get with the right people while you're up there, so
Speaker 4: you avoid the traps and the pitfalls that the establishment
Speaker 4: sets for you. Because telling when you wear the word
Speaker 4: C conservative on your shirt, you're basically your Captain America
Speaker 4: and everybody's coming after you. All the bad guys are
Speaker 4: going to try to do what they need to do
Speaker 4: to take you down. So you have to be guarded.
Speaker 5: When you're a conservative Repokan in.
Speaker 3: Jackson, it's got to be frustrating because again, there was
Speaker 3: a time where we thought that having that or by
Speaker 3: your name was enough. But we've learned without a doubt
Speaker 3: that there are a lot of Republicans, especially there in
Speaker 3: Jackson that just don't believe in the party platform, and
Speaker 3: we haven't seen party leadership ever hold them accountable for
Speaker 3: them betraying the platform. So again, I think that's solid
Speaker 3: advice that you need to know the people that you're
Speaker 3: you're running around with and never turn your back on
Speaker 3: the people that put you in office in the first place.
Speaker 4: Well, there was a there was a mandate. When you
Speaker 4: see seventy plus percent support in any race, that's a mandate.
Speaker 4: You know, we're not talking about you know, fifty one,
Speaker 4: forty nine, we're talking about seventy. So when you see that,
Speaker 4: the message was loud and clear from the folks who
Speaker 4: voted for me that this three district.
Speaker 5: Is definitely important. So that is my priority.
Speaker 4: I've already talked to some folks on the Jujitsal side
Speaker 4: to help you see if we can offer an amendment
Speaker 4: or buil to help restore that that that part.
Speaker 5: But we do have to wait for the census in
Speaker 5: twenty thirty to do stuff as far.
Speaker 4: As to you know, look at this rediscent and change
Speaker 4: it again, because by the state constitution, every ten years
Speaker 4: you have to look at the population, see where it's
Speaker 4: shifted and do you know and do your districts based
Speaker 4: on where the population has gone. I would like to
Speaker 4: be there long enough. You know, you want to you know,
Speaker 4: you want to make Jones County hole again. You know,
Speaker 4: I represent Peddle, I represent a little Wayne count a
Speaker 4: little bit of Green County. But the heart and soul
Speaker 4: of forty two is Jones count Whether people wanted admit
Speaker 4: or not, this is the heart and soul of forty
Speaker 4: two is Jones County. And when they and I saw
Speaker 4: the boats come in and it was heavy, heavy, Jones
Speaker 4: County is that there was a mandate that guys, we
Speaker 4: need to fix this problem. So my my job to
Speaker 4: go up there is they told me what they wanted.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm going to do. So, you know how
Speaker 4: you do the fist pump every day when you hear Trump,
Speaker 4: you know something that should have been done twenty years
Speaker 4: ago he's doing now. That's the kind of attitude that
Speaker 4: I take to Jackson and when you hear my name,
Speaker 4: you do the fist pump. This guy said that that's
Speaker 4: what he was going to do, and he's going to
Speaker 4: keep his words. So I want to make sure that
Speaker 4: folks in the district forty two, whether the Jones or
Speaker 4: you know Forrest, you know Wayne or Green County that
Speaker 4: you're going to see me and we're going to do
Speaker 4: some good things.
Speaker 5: So just wait and see.
Speaker 3: You know now that you're officially you know, well you've
Speaker 3: won the race. You know, in January you'll get sworn
Speaker 3: in and you'll officially be a state senator from District
Speaker 3: forty two. What what do you want to hit the
Speaker 3: ground running? Because again, you know, they're going to put
Speaker 3: you in a box because you beat somebody that the
Speaker 3: establishment I thought they could count on. And you know,
Speaker 3: so what do you what are you hoping to accomplish
Speaker 3: when you hit the ground running there in January?
Speaker 4: Well what folks don't realize and maybe they do, maybe
Speaker 4: I'm not giving enough credit when you were when when
Speaker 4: you say you're a conservative publican and go to Jackson,
Speaker 4: like you said, they put you in the far back.
Speaker 5: They don't give you the committees, the choice committees.
Speaker 4: They bury in the back somewhere and a port a
Speaker 4: potty or something for your office. And that's the reason
Speaker 4: a lot of times you can't get some things out
Speaker 4: of these committees because they don't put you on the ones.
Speaker 5: That that that that have the action, so I know
Speaker 5: there's a target on the back.
Speaker 4: I've already talked to some conservatives on the on the
Speaker 4: Senate side, and I'm hoping that we can come up
Speaker 4: with saying some things and work together and possibly bring
Speaker 4: some others along with us.
Speaker 5: I think you need strong leadership.
Speaker 4: In fact, I got a couple of texts today, thank
Speaker 4: god we got another conservative. I mean, you know that's
Speaker 4: welcoming in itself, is that that is good leadership is needed,
Speaker 4: good Republican. I'm talking about platform, believe in Republicans. I
Speaker 4: don't know where the platform has gone. People are now
Speaker 4: so mad at politicians. They don't even give to the
Speaker 4: to the party anymore.
Speaker 5: Now they're given to.
Speaker 4: The individual because they don't trust the party has got
Speaker 4: their beliefs. And you know, at heart, and I realized that,
Speaker 4: and that's what this race was about, the establishment versus
Speaker 4: every day Joe. That's what this whole race was. I
Speaker 4: didn't have anything. I didn't have one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 4: at my disposal. I didn't have a chick and Chick.
Speaker 4: I had don Hardness and a few packs and a
Speaker 4: few individuals that gave to the camp. That's what this
Speaker 4: campaign was about John Hugh Public versus establishment, David and Goliath.
Speaker 5: That's what it was.
Speaker 3: Absolutely it was. You know, we talked about Chris's influence
Speaker 3: and it wasn't just your race. He appeared to influence
Speaker 3: because there was a race up there in De Soto
Speaker 3: County where I think I've read reports that they dropped
Speaker 3: twelve million dollars against the incumbent up there because he
Speaker 3: ran a fellow of the establishment. Chris came out and
Speaker 3: spoke highly of him too, and he ended up overcoming
Speaker 3: all that money that was dumped in for his challenger
Speaker 3: and winning as well. So Chris definitely still is casting
Speaker 3: a shadow from from where he is, and that's that's
Speaker 3: a good thing, you know, to have somebody like Chris,
Speaker 3: even though he's not there in Jackson, he's still casting
Speaker 3: a shadow. And the fact that he's willing to get
Speaker 3: in there and fight for people like that, so you know,
Speaker 3: again you're one of them. Uh, how important is it
Speaker 3: to have voices like Chris, you know, like the right side,
Speaker 3: you know that are out there trying to continue to
Speaker 3: spread the conservative message and kind of have your back
Speaker 3: when you do get put in a box.
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's the great equalizer.
Speaker 4: I mean, uh, you know the Conservative coalition, I mean
Speaker 4: everybody that that that holds deer to conservative principles. I'm
Speaker 4: talking about Jeffersonian Reagan type of philosophy.
Speaker 5: Uh. It's tough. We've got we've got bull's eyes on us.
Speaker 4: Because we were into low taxes, little government, and the
Speaker 4: Republican Party has become Uh. Let's tax them just like
Speaker 4: the fuel tax. Let's offer pennies back on the grocery. Uh,
Speaker 4: let's give a little bit on state income tax. But
Speaker 4: guess what, you don't get it till twenty thirty seven,
Speaker 4: only if you hit these fifteen targets on the way.
Speaker 5: I don't like smoking bears. I don't like the three
Speaker 5: card money. I don't like somebody to you know, to
Speaker 5: you know, throw water on the leg and tell me
Speaker 5: it's rain and come on.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's let's do some real when you when
Speaker 4: you tell me that you've got record tax revenue for
Speaker 4: the first six months of twenty twenty five, you can't
Speaker 4: tell me that you pay your bills and you've got
Speaker 4: an excess. Where is that access supposed to go. That's
Speaker 4: supposed to go back to the people who put it
Speaker 4: in their hands. And to begin with, that's not their money.
Speaker 4: So when they say a rainy day fund, that's that's
Speaker 4: a that's a code word for the next day gum
Speaker 4: project that comes down the line. Let's throw money at it.
Speaker 4: Some big business come in. Let's throw them thirty million
Speaker 4: dollars to locate Mississippi to buy them that that's not
Speaker 4: that's not helping. That's not helping every day Joe. That's
Speaker 4: not helping the folks on Social Security. That's not helping
Speaker 4: the folks that that are that are integen, that need
Speaker 4: our help. We've become a a you know, a catch all.
Speaker 4: You know, let let a bleeding. We've become you know,
Speaker 4: the Republican Party is going to solve so far left
Speaker 4: there they're going right behind the Democrats. And I don't
Speaker 4: like to see our party go left.
Speaker 5: It's gone.
Speaker 4: They're following the Democrat. Look look at the last two years.
Speaker 4: How many Democrats on the House or Senate have complained
Speaker 4: about anything as.
Speaker 5: Far as bills. They're not the first complaint.
Speaker 4: You know, you put eight Democrats or whatever it is
Speaker 4: on the Senate side, eight Democrats to chair committees.
Speaker 5: Who does that in the Republican Party.
Speaker 3: Who does that, and just one person I can think of.
Speaker 4: Well, that person was a was a Democrat all his
Speaker 4: life to he ran for secretary of State, decided, Hey,
Speaker 4: I can't run for a state right office.
Speaker 5: With a D body on my name. So I got
Speaker 5: to put an R by it.
Speaker 4: Let's not change my principles, but let me call myself
Speaker 4: a Republican even though my background has been Democrat for
Speaker 4: the last fifty years.
Speaker 5: You've you know, you're lying to people. At Least tell
Speaker 5: the truth. Hey, you change change are to a date.
Speaker 5: At least you be consistent they tell the truth.
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound like you're planning to go to Jackson
Speaker 3: and shaking hands with Delbert Host.
Speaker 5: I've already burned my bridges, would you.
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: That's uh, and that's what we want. Don we won't fighters.
Speaker 3: We This doesn't come down to because again to all accounts,
Speaker 3: Senator Robinson is a nice lady, and but that's not
Speaker 3: what we need in Jackson. Nice will only get you
Speaker 3: so far. If you're not willing to fight, if not
Speaker 3: willing to stand up, if you're definitely not willing to
Speaker 3: stand up for the people that put you in the
Speaker 3: office in the first place, then you don't need to
Speaker 3: be there any longer. And Don I'm I'm happy to
Speaker 3: see you win this race. You know, I endorsed you myself,
Speaker 3: and just really and truly appreciate you for for taking
Speaker 3: this challenge because again, as I said at the beginning,
Speaker 3: when when you announced this was a long shot because
Speaker 3: you were running against an incumbent, and that's look, it's
Speaker 3: rare to see an incumbent beat. It happens.
Speaker 5: Never.
Speaker 3: When you see an incumbent beat in the manner that
Speaker 3: you won this race.
Speaker 5: Well that's that's a huge compliment.
Speaker 4: And the phone calls I have gotten as the history
Speaker 4: of this the history of this race, the history of
Speaker 4: forty two, the history of Jones County, I'm proud that
Speaker 4: I was able to come through and and and and
Speaker 4: and tell folks, you know, I'm not a lifelong Jones
Speaker 4: County person.
Speaker 5: I moved here by default to help out family members.
Speaker 4: I've always you know, I've been around Chris for a
Speaker 4: long time, been to In fact, before Chris was even
Speaker 4: a household name, I was in committee meetings watching and
Speaker 4: the and the questions he was asking in those committees.
Speaker 4: I was so impressed with him when I first seen
Speaker 4: him that. You know, I offered my services when he
Speaker 4: ran and uh, you know, put up signs knock on doors.
Speaker 4: I was very impressed with his conservatism. You know, there's
Speaker 4: only good conservatives come around once in a lifetime. You've
Speaker 4: got Reagan, You've got Chris and Mississippi, and I'm sure
Speaker 4: there's others out there, but you know, they don't come
Speaker 4: around often. And anybody that can argue at the Supreme
Speaker 4: Court as an attorney, my hat's off because that takes brilliance.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about probably some of the at
Speaker 4: least in history, some of the smartest minds at the
Speaker 4: Supreme Court. And you've got a guy from Mississippi who
Speaker 4: can make an argument and up in DC and represent
Speaker 4: us and that's that's awesome.
Speaker 3: And you're talking about the lawsuit against Omamacare. Correct, yes, yes, correct, No,
Speaker 3: that's one of the things too. Chris, Chris is a fighter,
Speaker 3: and you're going in despite the fact he was drawn out,
Speaker 3: you're going into his old Senate seat. You know, does
Speaker 3: that shadow that he cast, that conservative shadow, is that
Speaker 3: that's something that you're hoping to make sure that you
Speaker 3: live up to because it's it's a big shadow.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Reagan was a huge shadow. And then
Speaker 4: then of course you got a Trump. And Trump didn't
Speaker 4: start out as a conservative. He's more of a populist
Speaker 4: than a conservative, but he lines up with, you know,
Speaker 4: the conservative side of things. But like, you know, there's
Speaker 4: some things I don't agree with what Trump on, you know,
Speaker 4: and a lot of its financial it's not you know, he.
Speaker 5: Does some great deals. Uh.
Speaker 4: I don't think you're ever one hundred percent behind anybody.
Speaker 4: There's gonna be some things that philosophically might be a
Speaker 4: little different. But in the end, you know, is that
Speaker 4: person helping is that person uh doing things to make
Speaker 4: your life better?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: That's the question you always are Are they going up
Speaker 4: there for themselves, the enrichment selves? Are they going up
Speaker 4: there to represent?
Speaker 5: Uh? And I think Chris has always been straight with
Speaker 5: us on whatever he's done.
Speaker 4: He's you know, Uh, I've been in the committee of
Speaker 4: meetings when he's had him when he's asked the questions.
Speaker 5: I mean, uh, he's rock solid.
Speaker 4: I mean, I you know, big shadow, yes, but you
Speaker 4: know I may make a bigger shadow up there. I've got, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, hopefully to work with some folks up there
Speaker 4: and and turn this thing around and maybe get a
Speaker 4: few more on our side.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's it's tough.
Speaker 4: Like you said, you've got the establishment and you know
Speaker 4: we're the what second, Uh, we've got the super majority
Speaker 4: on one side or both sides, and uh here we
Speaker 4: are going left instead of right, and and nobody's complaining
Speaker 4: on the left that about what's going on. And so
Speaker 4: you know, if they're not complaining, you're you're not doing
Speaker 4: your job.
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair. Well, don I really appreciate you,
Speaker 3: you know, again taking the time because I know, I
Speaker 3: know you have to be tired after all the work
Speaker 3: that you've put in. Election night is a stressful day
Speaker 3: because no matter what you're hearing, you really don't know
Speaker 3: how it's going to go until you see the final numbers.
Speaker 3: And then all day today you've been out picking up
Speaker 3: signs so that way they're out of the way and everything.
Speaker 3: And yet you still found time to come on and
Speaker 3: give us this interview tonight, and I truly appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Done well, Jack.
Speaker 4: One final thought is that you know, I want to
Speaker 4: thank the folks in the forty two district, and of
Speaker 4: course that includes Green Forrest, Wayne and Jones. I will
Speaker 4: represent them. I want to make them proud. I want
Speaker 4: to do everybody a service while i'm there. I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna be a lifetime guy. I'm not having plans of
Speaker 4: being up there thirty years. I want to do a
Speaker 4: job and then some other conservative come along and run
Speaker 4: for this seat at some point in time. But we've
Speaker 4: got to keep Jones County conservative. We got to make
Speaker 4: it whole again. And I'm talking about when I say whole,
Speaker 4: we get North Laurel back, we get a raid of back,
Speaker 4: we get sand Hill back, and anything else were nate
Speaker 4: and I think they did. This is the most jigsaw
Speaker 4: puzzled forty two district in the state.
Speaker 5: It's a shame, and it's a sham it is.
Speaker 3: And again, I think you're the right guy to fight
Speaker 3: for us. I think you're the right guy. I think
Speaker 3: you'll represent those of us in thirty four now who
Speaker 3: feel like we won't have a conservative voice. I think
Speaker 3: you'll be a conservative voice for us as well. And
Speaker 3: I appreciate you that. I mean, we need fighters, not
Speaker 3: people who are just going to lay down anytime leadership
Speaker 3: ask them to. So donal let me ask you one
Speaker 3: last question for I'll let you go after knocking on
Speaker 3: all these doors that you have for the last you know,
Speaker 3: six months and six months two years ago. Do you
Speaker 3: feel more like a Jones County in now?
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you, I say yes to that. I
Speaker 5: tell you, anywhere you go, you absorb the locale.
Speaker 4: I mean Mississippi, whether you're in Jones County or whether
Speaker 4: you know, Mississippis have a way of rallying together, you know,
Speaker 4: the free state of Jones attitude that hey, I don't
Speaker 4: do what I'm told. I do what's right, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean that resonates. That's that's what this race was
Speaker 4: all about. Is do you go with somebody to do
Speaker 4: that does what they're told, or you go with somebody
Speaker 4: that says no. One it's time to say no.
Speaker 5: But yes, I feel like.
Speaker 3: A part of the family now absolutely, don Well, thank
Speaker 3: you for your fight. We look forward to watching your
Speaker 3: career there in Jackson, and we're rooting for you. And
Speaker 3: if it ever gets tough, you're more than welcome to
Speaker 3: come back on this show. Tell us what we need
Speaker 3: to know, and just let us know what we can
Speaker 3: do as your foot soldiers to have your back while
Speaker 3: you fight for us.
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, Jack and thank you for having
Speaker 5: me on.
Speaker 3: Well, guys, I'm gonna pause ray Year for our first
Speaker 3: commercial break, probably be our only commercial break tonight, because
Speaker 3: Don went to a decent forty minutes with us there
Speaker 3: in that interview. But I'm pretty encouraged after last night's victory,
Speaker 3: and I'll talk about that when I get back, because
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's worth talking about while
Speaker 3: we are encouraged by this victory and what it means
Speaker 3: to a lot of us who may have felt disenfranchised
Speaker 3: a little bit after a couple of elections, may not
Speaker 3: have gone our way and whatnot. So this is the
Speaker 3: right Side Radio program. We'll be right back. The Midnight Ride,
Speaker 3: the home of the anti establishment movement. This network features
Speaker 3: great programming such as Chris McDaniel's America, God and Country,
Speaker 3: The right Side Radio Show, Paul Revere's Liberty Layer, and
Speaker 3: many more coming soon. So check out the Midnight Ride today.
Speaker 3: Head to the Midnight Ride dot com and check out
Speaker 3: all the amazing content. First off, I want to get
Speaker 3: back into things here. Thank you again to Don Hardness,
Speaker 3: Senator elect from District forty two here in my home
Speaker 3: state of Mississippi, man that I think is going to
Speaker 3: go to Jackson and fight for us, and I'm happy
Speaker 3: to have him on our side. And again, it's an
Speaker 3: exciting time for us. And I said before the break
Speaker 3: that I wanted to talk about the fact that, and
Speaker 3: I've set it on this air, that I have become
Speaker 3: disillusion My faith in the electorate was pre rattled, and
Speaker 3: with good reason. We've seen time and time again where
Speaker 3: elections didn't go the way that they should have. And
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to say it that way, but in my
Speaker 3: personal opinion, when you see folks that have shown you
Speaker 3: a pattern that let you know they're voting against your interest,
Speaker 3: and yet they continue to climb up the ladder, that's
Speaker 3: a problem. And that's one of those things that frustrates
Speaker 3: me for sure. And to see Don be able to
Speaker 3: win a race and win it overwhelmingly, and this isn't
Speaker 3: about the former senator's personality. This is about the record.
Speaker 3: And Don ran a race against her record and that's
Speaker 3: the way it should be done, and her record screamed change.
Speaker 3: There's no other way to put it. As I said,
Speaker 3: it was a political malpractice to vote for district lines
Speaker 3: that carved up your home district. It was political malpractice.
Speaker 3: To vote for new judicial district lines that carved up
Speaker 3: your home district, to not stand up and fight. It
Speaker 3: was one of those things that just really opened a
Speaker 3: lot of our eyes. Some of us who knew what
Speaker 3: was going on already knew. But the people here, the
Speaker 3: people in this district, they prove that they can pay attention,
Speaker 3: that their eyes can be opened, and that when people
Speaker 3: are willing to present you with facts and show you
Speaker 3: what was done, show you how these bad votes took
Speaker 3: away voices, voices like my own. And it showed too
Speaker 3: that there'll be consequences when you vote against your people.
Speaker 3: It's not going to be easy for Don and Jackson.
Speaker 3: He's going up there into a lions den. As we've
Speaker 3: talked about before. The lieutenant governor of the state of Missippi,
Speaker 3: the man that controls the Senate, Delbert Hoseman. He may
Speaker 3: have an Arbia his name, but that man is a
Speaker 3: Don the Wold Democrat, plain and simple. And we've already
Speaker 3: seen the snakes that are in the Senate that are
Speaker 3: already lining up to shoot arrows at mister Harkness before
Speaker 3: he ever even gets there. Those people will continue to
Speaker 3: try to be roadblocks. But I think Don's a fighter,
Speaker 3: and I don't think he'll roll over to any of them.
Speaker 3: So I'm happy to have a man like Don, a
Speaker 3: man that I call a friend, and now I can
Speaker 3: call him a senator. So I'm happy to see Don
Speaker 3: make that leap. And again, we need good people that
Speaker 3: will put their name on the ballot. As I said,
Speaker 3: when Don put his name on the ballad, it was
Speaker 3: not as sure they at all. Matter of fact, most
Speaker 3: analysts had this marked as a safe race for Senator Robinson.
Speaker 3: But Don put in the work, he utilized the information,
Speaker 3: and he did the things necessary. And then of course
Speaker 3: you had folks like Chris McDaniel get involved and point
Speaker 3: out what they did to him and the rest of
Speaker 3: us who got drawn out of District forty two. You
Speaker 3: had judged dal Williamson, who was brave enough to come
Speaker 3: out and point out what they did to judicial district.
Speaker 3: We saw an awakening here, and I hope that maybe
Speaker 3: as an awakening throughout the state. We saw an awakening
Speaker 3: in North Mississippi when they tried to railroad an incumbent
Speaker 3: senator because he wouldn't one hundred percent go along with
Speaker 3: the establishment crowd. So thank goodness that Chris was willing
Speaker 3: to get involved in those races, put his name out
Speaker 3: there again and let folks know what's happening. I think
Speaker 3: that's the reason why we woke up this morning and
Speaker 3: saw that District forty two had elected Don Hartness. Don's
Speaker 3: going to go to Jackson. He's going to fight for us.
Speaker 3: He's going to go to Jackson. He's going to be
Speaker 3: that warrior in the same vein that Chris was. And
Speaker 3: I'm pretty excited by that, and I think that that's
Speaker 3: going to be the best case scenario for us, without
Speaker 3: a doubt. I was proud to endorse him. I was
Speaker 3: proud of the work that he put forth, and I'm
Speaker 3: proud to see him win that election. But now the
Speaker 3: hard work comes. Now comes the time where he's got
Speaker 3: to go to Jackson. He's going to live up to
Speaker 3: the promises and be that fighter. I have no doubt
Speaker 3: that he will meet those expectations because I've known this
Speaker 3: man for I think about eleven years now, and one
Speaker 3: thing about Don agree with him, disagree with him. That
Speaker 3: guy's going to be passionate about everything that he does.
Speaker 3: He's going to passionately fight for his district. I have
Speaker 3: no doubt about any of that, and that's why we
Speaker 3: send our heartfelt congratulations to Don Hardness for his victory.
Speaker 3: And again, thank you, Don for taking time out of
Speaker 3: your extremely tiresome schedule. It's going to be a little
Speaker 3: less busy now, Don, Thank goodness, you'll get You'll get
Speaker 3: to have a little bit of a days of relaxation
Speaker 3: once you pick up the last of those signs. But
Speaker 3: I know he's looking forward to a break because that
Speaker 3: man has worked his tail off for the last two
Speaker 3: or three months. I can't remember when qualifying was, but
Speaker 3: from the moment he went to Jackson and signed the
Speaker 3: papers to yesterday when the polls closed, Don Hardness was
Speaker 3: putting his boots on the ground, knocking on as many
Speaker 3: doors as he could, meeting as many people as he
Speaker 3: could to try to make sure that he told folks
Speaker 3: why he deserved to be our state senator. And I
Speaker 3: thank him for that. And yes, I say our state
Speaker 3: senator even though I live in a different district now,
Speaker 3: because I have no doubt that I can pick up
Speaker 3: the phone and call Don with any concerns I have
Speaker 3: and he will listen because he understands there's a group
Speaker 3: of us that were carved out of forty two who
Speaker 3: should rightfully be in forty two that won't have a
Speaker 3: conservative representative there in the Senate, and we'll need him
Speaker 3: to be our voice as well. And I feel like
Speaker 3: I got that with him, and I'm extremely exc cited
Speaker 3: to see what he does in these next two years.
Speaker 3: That's the worst part. In two years, he's got to
Speaker 3: do it again if if he wants to run for
Speaker 3: a second term, he doesn't get a full four year
Speaker 3: term because this was a special election. But it's exciting
Speaker 3: people and for some of my national listeners. You know,
Speaker 3: again my message to you guys, as always, when I
Speaker 3: focus on something more local or Mississippi centric, you need
Speaker 3: to take note too, because again, this might be a
Speaker 3: Mississippi state senator, but you need to go and see
Speaker 3: what's happening in your state capital. You need to be
Speaker 3: asking questions about the things that are going on up there,
Speaker 3: making sure that the people you're sending to your state
Speaker 3: capitals are putting forth the values and the promises that
Speaker 3: you expect them to. You need to make sure that
Speaker 3: they're emboldened by you and not the lobbyist, not leadership
Speaker 3: within the establishment group. If they're beholden to other people
Speaker 3: outside of the interest of the voters. You need to
Speaker 3: bring them home. And it's easy to find out because
Speaker 3: all you have to do is look at certain votes.
Speaker 3: Maybe that might take a little bit of time for
Speaker 3: you to do some research, but you owe it to yourself,
Speaker 3: you owe it to your children's futures to do that.
Speaker 3: You know, if two years ago, if Gon had been
Speaker 3: the victor, we wouldn't be in this mess because don
Speaker 3: would have fault tooth and nail to prevent what was done.
Speaker 3: Maybe they would have got it passed through anyway, but
Speaker 3: we would have heard a lot of yelling. We would
Speaker 3: have seen someone that was willing to stand up in
Speaker 3: fight for us, not someone who is going to look
Speaker 3: at leadership and say, oh, you want me to vote
Speaker 3: for this, I'm going to That's the type of representative.
Speaker 3: That's the type of senator that we expect. We were
Speaker 3: blessed with Chris McDaniel as our state senator for a
Speaker 3: long time, and we knew every day he went to
Speaker 3: Jackson he was going to fight for us. We blocked
Speaker 3: out the noise that the knuckleheads there in Jackson, and
Speaker 3: they're still there trying to be critical of Chris even
Speaker 3: though he's not sitting in office throwing arrows and throwing
Speaker 3: your knades at him. These little bitty manchilds that they are,
Speaker 3: they're in the State Senate who are still trying to
Speaker 3: lob these attacks. We know they're foolish because we saw
Speaker 3: with our own eyes. They can try to tell us
Speaker 3: whatever lie they want to say, but we knew the truth.
Speaker 3: We saw the fight, We saw the frustration, We saw
Speaker 3: the heart and the passion and everything that he embodied.
Speaker 3: That is the embodiment of the free State of Jones.
Speaker 3: And now we're hopeful that we'll get that type of
Speaker 3: leadership again through don hardness, because we sorely have been
Speaker 3: lacking it the last two years. All we ask is
Speaker 3: that you fight. You fight, You don't roll over and
Speaker 3: give them what they want. That's what we look for.
Speaker 3: We look for fighters. Donald Trump's a fighter. Agree with him,
Speaker 3: don't agree with him. It doesn't matter if you watch Trump.
Speaker 3: If he believes in an issue, you know he's going
Speaker 3: to go to war for it. People are rare. The
Speaker 3: Chris McDaniels, the Trumps. Those type of people are rare
Speaker 3: these days that are willing to stand up there and
Speaker 3: lead the charge straight into battle. When you can find
Speaker 3: people like that, that's the ones you want to hold
Speaker 3: on to. That's the ones you want to share with
Speaker 3: the rest of the state, the rest of the country,
Speaker 3: because we need those type of people. We need those
Speaker 3: men and women that'll lead the charge. We've only got
Speaker 3: a couple in the State Senate that I believe are
Speaker 3: truly conservative. Kathy Chisholm, Angela Hill come to mind. Now
Speaker 3: we can add Don Hardness to that. I'm sure there's
Speaker 3: some more, and I just haven't learned them or done
Speaker 3: enough of home work myself, because I do focus a
Speaker 3: lot on national politics. I focus a lot on the
Speaker 3: national news, because I do recognize this show is not
Speaker 3: merely focused on just my area. But every now and then,
Speaker 3: something like this happens that you have to talk about.
Speaker 3: You have to stop, and you have to point out,
Speaker 3: especially when an injustice has occurred, and having that injustice
Speaker 3: come at an ultimate cost for the person that voted
Speaker 3: for it is satisfying. That's not because we hate Senator Robinson.
Speaker 3: It doesn't come from a place of hatred, comes from
Speaker 3: a place of we expect better, and I think we
Speaker 3: got better. I think our area has improved with the
Speaker 3: election of Don Hartness. I know I'm going to keep
Speaker 3: fighting no matter how frustrated I get. I know Chris
Speaker 3: McDaniel's going to keep fighting, and I believe that Don
Speaker 3: Hartness will be a fighter in that similar vein.
Speaker 5: We are.
Speaker 3: In trying times for sure, and conservatism may not be
Speaker 3: as attractive to some as it once was, just because
Speaker 3: again it's been poorly sold. We've allowed Republicans to act
Speaker 3: like Democrats. So when people see that and they're told
Speaker 3: that's what conservatism is, they have a hard time accepting it.
Speaker 3: They have a hard time going along with it because
Speaker 3: that looks a lot like liberalism. Because the reality is,
Speaker 3: it was never conservatism in the first place. It was
Speaker 3: just a group that had ours by their name, that
Speaker 3: you believed because you believed in the party, Which isn't
Speaker 3: your fault, because I understand why you would believe in
Speaker 3: the Republican Party, but because you believed in the party,
Speaker 3: believed that they were conservative. But they weren't. They never were.
Speaker 3: They were opportunists who saw a movement and jumped on
Speaker 3: board with the Republican Party. They never had the intention
Speaker 3: to push conservative values. They never had the intention to
Speaker 3: try to get the Republican Party to adhere to its platform.
Speaker 3: They were trying to push their agenda while utilizing the
Speaker 3: popularity in this state of that or by their name.
Speaker 3: And if you live in a state outside of Misissippi
Speaker 3: and you don't think that's happening in your state, your
Speaker 3: delusional party switchers are a danger. Sure, there's some good
Speaker 3: ones who switched because they actually had a switch in
Speaker 3: their ideology. Ronald Reagan comes to mind, but most of
Speaker 3: the time they're just opportunists who see that they can't
Speaker 3: win a race as a Democrat, so they switch over
Speaker 3: to the Republican Party. Meanwhile, everything that they believed in
Speaker 3: that you disagreed with remains the same for them. They
Speaker 3: didn't change a single one of their stripes, and as such,
Speaker 3: that's why they are pushing the party to the left,
Speaker 3: and we need fighters to stand up to that. We
Speaker 3: need fighters that will continue to move us in the
Speaker 3: conservative direction, to right the Republican Party, to get it
Speaker 3: back to its conservative roots. Conservatism works, We've seen it work.
Speaker 3: The fact that the Republican Party has gifted away from
Speaker 3: that is frustrating beyond belief. But hopefully the race is
Speaker 3: like the one last night. We can look at it
Speaker 3: and say wow, because again, this whole Jerry Manner district,
Speaker 3: it wasn't done by Democrats people. That was done by
Speaker 3: Republican leadership. And I know they get mad when I
Speaker 3: say that, but it's the God's honest truth and it
Speaker 3: needs to be exposed. There's a reason I walked away
Speaker 3: from the Republican Party because the Republican Party walked away
Speaker 3: from me. When you've got figureheads like Delbert Hoseman up
Speaker 3: there in Jackson, that's that's not the Republican Party I
Speaker 3: grew up with. The Republican Party I grew up with
Speaker 3: doesn't push for Democrat platform ideas, it doesn't try to
Speaker 3: weaponize re districting against fellow Republicans. But that's what happened.
Speaker 3: And until we're willing to call out bad actors within
Speaker 3: our party, until we're willing to say the truth that
Speaker 3: there are members of the Republican Party that are just terrible,
Speaker 3: that are truly Democrats, we're going to wake up and
Speaker 3: we're going to see us lose elections and we're going
Speaker 3: to wonder why. But some of us already know why.
Speaker 3: And there's some that just want to stick their head
Speaker 3: in the sand and don't want to hear the truth.
Speaker 3: Hopefully last night is a sign that we're awakening from that.
Speaker 3: That's my hope. Am I still completely jaded? Do I
Speaker 3: believe that's the case now? Because yes, I am still
Speaker 3: completely javid? But for just a moment, just a shimmering moment,
Speaker 3: here we have a light. We have a light, and
Speaker 3: we can be excited about that light. We can be
Speaker 3: excited to see the possibility that maybe we can start
Speaker 3: to get people to wake up from their slumber. And
Speaker 3: if we do that, maybe we can take back the party.
Speaker 3: We'll see the balls in your court.
