1
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome,

2
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and he is time now for our community connection right

3
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>here on K one, the one you trust and in

4
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the studio with this here. We caught him coming and

5
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 1>going because he's been all over the place, traveling far

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 1>and wide, because congressional district too is just huge. It's

7
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Wade and he's a Democrat running for CD two.

8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>And first of all, welcome, thank you, nice to be here.

9
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's great to.

10
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Have you here.

11
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 1>This has been a lot of real estate to cover,

12
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 1>hasn't it been for your campaign?

13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

14
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, it's the large district. Like I said, it's from

15
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 3>the Kansas line to the Red River, so it's a

16
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 3>lot of a lot of ground cover. I go from

17
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 3>one Das and Copan ended up going all the way

18
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 3>down and broken Bow and then back.

19
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, wow that like I said, it is

20
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot. But you're talking to a lot of people.

21
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>What are you hearing from potential voters? What are they

22
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>what do they want to have done as a person

23
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>who would be representing them in Congress.

24
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 2>You're hearing a lot of the main issues you keep hearing.

25
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 3>You know that you know the economy, the cost of

26
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 3>pricing for everything, housing, uh, public schools, that's a big,

27
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 3>big topic. Women's rights of course is another one that's

28
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 3>out there, and just you know, the dysfunctional of the

29
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 3>going and getting back to working with one another and

30
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 3>not not fighting back and forth actually governing.

31
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 1>That's that's kind of where you differentiate from a lot

32
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of people who are either in office are running for office.

33
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think being into a union negotiator probably helps

34
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>shape your attitude on that.

35
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it definitely is made me who I am. It's

36
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, I tell everybody I'm a representative. I'm not

37
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 3>really a politician. And that's you know, I've learned through

38
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 3>the years of doing that how to represent people. You

39
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 3>got to be able to listen to people first and

40
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 3>forema so you understand what they need, want and then

41
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 3>go work for the best deal you can from the

42
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 3>majority of the people you're representing. And that's that's what

43
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm taking the CD two and trying to get back

44
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 3>to Congress where we actually sat down and we agree

45
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 3>that you know, we can disagree on what we can't

46
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>come to and then come to an agreement on other

47
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 3>things that work the best.

48
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Take a little bit from both how's your message resonating

49
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>with people?

50
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it's doing fairly well. I mean it seems

51
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to be.

52
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Something that people want like and hear as somebody is

53
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 3>willing to work with either side regardless of party affiliation.

54
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I think a lot of a lot of even traditional

55
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 3>Republicans like to hear that. I think it's something that

56
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 3>they want to get back to as well, where we

57
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 3>govern with one another.

58
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Now, how are the traditional Democrats taking that message?

59
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>They seem to be on board.

60
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean from what I'm hearing where I'm at, they

61
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 3>seem to like the message. So hopefully I hope they

62
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 3>are on board, because that's what we got to get

63
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>back to. We need a balance. We really need to be,

64
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, fifty to fifty or close to it if

65
00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>we can.

66
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>On representation, I mean, it takes both sides to make

67
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>good quality bills that work for everybody.

68
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Now, you ran for US senator a couple of years ago,

69
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that was an experience. You almost find yourself in the

70
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 1>runoff there. Yeah, it was, you're like three votes, It

71
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 1>definitely was.

72
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I just jumped into that and didn't know what I

73
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 3>was doing, and that kind of helped get me ready

74
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 3>for what I'm doing now, and it's definitely a little

75
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 3>more prepared understand the steps involved in what you got

76
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 3>to do.

77
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's definitely helped out.

78
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Very good, very good. Now you work in the oil business.

79
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 1>But there are a lot of people who may may

80
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of shake their head a little bit too. Well,

81
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, many people who identify as Democrat have

82
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>somewhat of an issue with fossil fuel. But I don't

83
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 1>think that one size fits all.

84
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 3>No, And it's you know, oil and gas in Oklahoma

85
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 3>is a big thing. I mean it's always been. I'm

86
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 3>in here more than forty eight eight years now to

87
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 3>check and it's yeah, do to math real quick. But

88
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 3>it's it's always been a part of my life and

89
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>it's part of Oklahoma and it's not going away anytime soon.

90
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 3>But we do got to move towards you know, more

91
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 3>cleaner fuel or cleaner ways of producing it and knowing

92
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 3>about it. And most of our big businesses and corporations

93
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 3>in the oil and gas industry are working into that

94
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 3>direction to try to figure out a better way to

95
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 3>be cleaner. And so we gotta keep working that way

96
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 3>while we keep working on better solutions to have cleaner

97
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 3>energy out there. But you know, until we can get

98
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 3>to that point, you know, we got to do the

99
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 3>best that we can with what.

100
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>We have and just continue to work to get better.

101
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>You know.

102
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 3>It's it's something that we do got to address. But

103
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, wool and gas is not going away anytime soon.

104
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 3>It's it's we're too relying on it and there's not

105
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 3>enough other stuff yet to do. So you know, we've

106
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 3>got to work together in that process. Unders understood.

107
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.759
<v Speaker 1>So you've got a big swath of Oklahoma. Tulsa isn't yet,

108
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>but you've got to. I guess Bartles was really the

109
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>the largest city, one of the largest ones that Muskogi

110
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 1>would probably be in there too that you're in, but it's.

111
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 2>A lot of rural.

112
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, ranchers have and people who live in the rural

113
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 1>might have a little bit of a different expectation than

114
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>folks who live with you know, kind of all bunch

115
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 1>stuff in the city as to maybe what they want

116
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>out of Washington, d C.

117
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 4>Are you finding that, Yeah, you hear different subjects with

118
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, where you're at, on where you're at and

119
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 4>who you're talking to, what people want, and it's again

120
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 4>taking those things and kind of mixing them together where

121
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 4>you can help both sides out.

122
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm a rural, rural kid, you know, growing up north

123
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 3>up there in Copane out on ten acres, So you know,

124
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>I understand the farmers and the ranchers, the cattlemen, you know,

125
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 3>the people to produce our soybeans.

126
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And all that stuff.

127
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 3>So you know those needs are needed and got to

128
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 3>be took care of as well.

129
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm going to give you the stump right here.

130
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I want you to tell everybody why Brandon Way should

131
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>get your boat.

132
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank you.

133
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I what I feel is just what I've said before.

134
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm not a faulties. I'm a representative. I

135
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 3>really understand how to represent people. I feel that we're

136
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 3>sorely missing that in our Congress right now. We're not

137
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 3>able to work with one another, and we need to

138
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 3>remove the people that don't want to work with one

139
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>or the other, be based on party affiliation, and get

140
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 3>back to working with the people and representing the people

141
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 3>that you're there to represent. I've done that for over

142
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 3>seventeen years with our local union here, and you know,

143
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 3>I feel like some may say I've not done so well.

144
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Some may say have done a great job, But that's

145
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 3>part of it. You never make everybody happy, but it's

146
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I've done a good job for the

147
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 3>majority of the body. And that's what I would do

148
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 3>with Oklahoma CD two. I'd represent them as a majority

149
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 3>and do the best I can to help bring Republican

150
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 3>and Democratic views together to make something better for everybody.

151
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 3>So I just feel like I'm a better person at

152
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 3>solving solutions to problems, you know, working with one another,

183
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 3>because that's where it's at. You got to be able

184
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 3>to have a conversation with the voters out there and

185
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 3>let them know that where you are and what you

186
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 3>stand for, and answer the questions they need to have answered,

187
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, because everybody's got issues, and some have different

188
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.879
<v Speaker 3>issues than others that are more important to them than

189
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 3>the last place you might have been. So you definitely

190
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 3>got to hear what everybody has.

191
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>That needs to be took care of, you know, when

192
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about your contact points, you even had your

193
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>phone number on there. It wasn't until and I've lived

194
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm an old guy. I've lived in a lot of places.

195
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>But until I moved to Oklahoma, did I ever hear

196
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 1>anybody who was in representative government, whether it be city hall, county, state,

197
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>or even running for a federal office, say yeah, just

198
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 1>call me on my phone. Usually you have six layers

199
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 1>of people to go through, but here in Oklahoma, they

200
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 1>want to hear. They want to hear directly from the people.

201
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I think that's just kind of cool and refreshing.

202
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's important.

203
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you've got a question, you need to

204
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>get with somebody that and once I get elected, hopes

205
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 3>that I'm getting elected. Once I get elected, you know

206
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 3>my staff is going to be told the same thing. Yeah,

207
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 3>when the people call, they need to you need to

208
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 3>listen to them, and I need to know what they're

209
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 3>asking about. I want to take care of that solution,

210
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 3>and I'll have to rely on my staff to also

211
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 3>help get that took care of.

212
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 2>We need to address those situations.

213
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>You say, you grew up in Copan and you're working

214
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:26.919
<v Speaker 1>here in Bartlesville and you've seen about every square inch

215
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>of c D two. Oklahoma is a beautiful place.

216
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker 2>As it is that eastern Oklahoma definitely, that's for sure.

217
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 1>And when you were talking about the economy, what are

218
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 1>people really kind of honed in on as far as

219
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the economy? Is it the food prices? Is it the

220
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 1>rent or what is it? It's really kind of a

221
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.639
<v Speaker 1>bug what I hear.

222
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 3>It's it's a combination of both the food prices are

223
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 3>too high, utilities, and then housing, you know, the rising

224
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 3>costs of housing with the inflation being up and stuff

225
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 3>like that. It's starting to them down some, which will

226
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 3>help some of that. But you know, people are walking

227
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 3>into those mortgage rates that fluctuate.

228
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>When that goes up, so does your insurance prices, you know,

229
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 2>so it's hitting you on both sides. You know, your

230
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>your your mortgage rate goes up some and then.

231
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Your in your insurance goes up as well. So it's

232
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.320
<v Speaker 3>a combination of all of it. And we've got to

233
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 3>sit down and we got to come to.

234
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 2>A solution that works.

235
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 3>And you know, if it's seriously price gouging that's going on,

236
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 3>then we need to look at, you know, capping some

237
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 3>of these costs and getting back where the American people

238
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 3>can get by.

239
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I think you kind of hit it

240
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>on the head. I think that is like the big

241
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 1>thing that folks are worried about. It. It always comes

242
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>down to the pocketbook. You know, you've got kids, I've

243
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>got kids. Heck, our kids even went the school together.

244
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And we know what that that dinner table thing can be.

245
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.039
<v Speaker 1>You got walk coming up, okay, and then you got

246
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to kind of get the budget going and seeing where

247
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 1>you can make things happen so that everybody can be

248
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>taken care of properly and what have you. So this

249
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 1>is these are real conversations that are happening at everybody's

250
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 1>tables these days.

251
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

252
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, it's you know, everybody's got to got so much

253
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 3>money to work with in the household and they got

254
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 3>to make ends meet the way they can sure, and

255
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 3>so that's you know, we got to do what we

256
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 3>can the best way of that. Our government the same

257
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 3>way when we talk about balancing a budget, I mean

258
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 3>we need to get back where we balance a budget

259
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 3>and we look at our expenses of what we're spending

260
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 3>and got our wasteful spending, you know, and get back

261
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:28.639
<v Speaker 3>to being financially responsible.

262
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's that's something that I think a lot of

263
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>people want to hear, you know, is that, Okay, I

264
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta I gotta fix my check booky come on, uncle

<v Speaker 1>Sam Victures show me the way.

266
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>So this is great.

267
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Speaker 1>And again you can be reached through social media and

268
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 1>if you go to the Facebook page or the website,

269
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>it's got the phone number. There, got an email. And

270
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 1>I understand from a lot of folks that you're very responsive.

271
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Within the day, you'll get back to them.

272
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I tried to. I mean, it's my days are long.

273

<v Speaker 3>They four in the morning and sometimes don't endntil eleven

274
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 3>or twelve a night, So you know, I run on

275
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 3>four hours sleep a lot of times. But I'm still

276
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 3>working through this process as well. I mean, I can't

277
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 3>afford not to work and not to have insurance and benefits.

278
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 3>So when I say I'm a worker, man I am

279
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm lunch.

<v Speaker 1>Hour here with us today, Folks that right now, I'm not.

282
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>No?

283
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm excited. I left from work to come here

284
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 3>to do this. I'll be right back to work here

285
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 3>a little bit and then back on the campaign. Traughout

286
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the while. Wow, it's just the finances, aren't you know?

287
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't have the big donors that a lot of

288
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.519
<v Speaker 3>candidates do. I don't have, you know, big donors from

289
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 3>out of state. The biggest donations I've got from out

290
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 3>of state would have been through our international They donated

291
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 3>to me, and then most everything else comes from small

292
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 3>donor you know, normal working class people like us give

293
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.960
<v Speaker 3>a little bit here and there.

294
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>How big of a factor is dark money played in

295
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the campaigns in Oklahoma.

296
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's huge, and I'd like to see that

297
00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 2>go away.

298
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how if we really can ever get

299
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.159
<v Speaker 3>it pride out out of government or out of our politics,

300
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.480
<v Speaker 3>but we're really doing to limit the funding. I would

301
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 3>love to see this level of play in field and

302
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.960
