- 6:14wdsu's and 2012 and he's been doing

- 6:32that was kinda fishy to me and maybe
- 6:36talk about what's gonna be happening in

- 6:47[Applause]
- 6:48[Music]
- 7:10[Music]
- 7:36this year
- 7:52and one o'clock and no more I'm going to
- 7:57get I'll get to issues
- 9:02[Music]
- 9:32but I think they're taking some very
- 9:41[Music]
- 9:46[Music]
- 9:48who are they see themselves issues and
- 10:27particularly reference the one where
- 10:29they see we're never going to get
- 10:38anything about this president or this
- 10:42Congress and that is helping Democrats
- 10:47running for every from
- 11:11and people are saying well it was a
- 11:16failure on his back across the well
- 11:41because the weakness and he's lost a lot
- 12:02of support
- 12:35[Music]
- 13:25and once you do that basically cut my
- 13:41teeth covering politics
- 14:26[Music]
- 14:38[Music]
- 14:42Republican voters voting for steve
- 14:47Beshear
- 14:56[Music]
- 15:16[Applause]
- 16:11[Music]
- 16:27every single
- 17:24[Music]
- 17:30[Applause]
- 17:44[Music]
- 18:02but Wyoming is a place that when they
- 18:06last nine they redrew the district lines
- 18:14and this was creating this money yes sir
- 18:48yeah I would also add that just as
- 18:51surprising there was some long term very
- 18:53familiar names and incumbents that
- 18:58didn't get reelected what was very
- 19:00telling about myself and it's always
- 19:02very telling especially on a suburban
- 19:04community where you know people have a
- 19:09pretty good idea of who they are
- 20:15[Music]
- 21:53it's that mess
- 22:13Harlan County will keep forever
- 22:48[Music]
- 23:31you should be dancing on tables because
- 23:38you're finally making progress or you
- 23:43really have to make progress is in these
- 23:48a house or a house where you find a
- 23:54competitive race and it's very very
- 24:00difficult and you don't have the same
- 24:02rules that you're going to have and
- 24:04redistricting for congressional
- 24:06districts so it's going to take longer
- 24:09and that's going to take more effort but
- 24:13they can and still make progress in
- 24:18terms of the statewide constitutional
- 24:22the Secretary of State what those people
- 24:32do for publishers do with those offices
- 24:37over the next few years Democrats are
- 24:42starting to build a pretty good stable
- 24:45potential candidates out there like Alex
- 25:01trying to feed one not giving great
- 25:04credit for you colleges yes it's a blue
- 25:13county we're at a disadvantage
- 25:57[Music]
- 25:58it's he's not going to talk this is
- 26:03about what I'm gonna talk about Donald
- 26:08Trump wiped out and I think you can lose
- 26:15Iowa as well you know the Democrats make
- 26:22the right kind of candidate a candidate
- 26:24who makes an effort to pick up those
- 26:29voters who won the state of Ohio or for
- 26:33Trump in 2016 and a lot of those people
- 26:38are the people of the motive Ally people
- 26:44up and down the Ohio River in some of
- 26:47the most chronically economically
- 26:51depressed areas of the state southern
- 26:53Ohio and maybe you wanted this three and
- 26:58from the other which kept them going for
- 27:01many decades now water is for the street
- 27:06whether it's
- 27:07mr. waters auto parts of the through
- 27:10steel they're going away those jobs if
- 27:14not away drunken in 2016 and I'm gonna
- 27:19fix all that I don't think they believe
- 27:26it's been touched and great kind of
- 27:30candidate goes into those areas and
- 27:39[Music]
- 27:45somebody else because one thing I'll be
- 27:52right with you I was the one thing that
- 27:56happened the 2016 Hillary Clinton
- 27:58absolutely absolutely dig North didn't
- 28:05bother painting there in fact yes she
- 28:09was almost dismissive of them in her
- 28:12speech these are a lot of people who
- 28:20have suffered a lot of economic distress
- 28:23over the years and they just wanted
- 28:26somebody who would listen to that and
- 28:29who would do so I keep telling the
- 28:40Democrats like but I talked to groups
- 28:44like this I know you're all split up
- 28:46these presidential debates
- 28:49I think get it fixed quick find one
- 28:52who's good belongs in fog a mirror
- 28:56[Laughter]
- 28:58[Music]
- 29:26[Music]
- 29:33[Music]
- 30:01[Music]
- 30:35[Music]
- 30:38what made me promise that he made you in
- 30:47Southeast Ohio to Jackson how much hard
- 30:58time
- 31:29[Music]
- 32:07[Laughter]
- 32:09yes
- 32:12I'm a younger voter we do care
- 32:15I'm a younger voter we do care
- 32:48[Music]
- 32:49but I wonder hmmm up against words I was
- 33:59talking to somebody
- 34:15[Music]
- 34:58after Trump won by 8 percentage points
- 35:03he came in but he won all those Trump
- 35:33voters in the places I was talking about
- 35:36earlier where the people seen their jobs
- 35:41go away Trump said don't Sonny palaces
- 35:50bring these jobs back they voted for
- 35:54sure why that resonates with people
- 36:04especially people who are not well to do
- 36:10their working-class folks there are
- 36:12middle-class folks they're just trying
- 36:15to raise their families and have decent
- 36:19work and the dignity they want people to
- 36:24recognize there is a dignity you know if
- 36:26they did it that's not too much to ask
- 36:30and I think people respond to that and
- 36:33it was funny because during one of those
- 36:36Democratic debates where you have 27
- 36:41I use that term dignity of work and sort
- 37:45of talking about
- 37:51I call it even though it's a Catholic
- 38:23loss yes I just wanted to say my sister
- 38:28who is Republicans and her cute
- 38:31son-in-law's she lets me know that
- 38:33there's person in-laws don't like Trump
- 38:36yeah but I told her I don't care if you
- 38:39like it or not I would care if you
- 38:41support him and if you vote Republican
- 38:44any Republicans you were supporting
- 38:46Trump you talked about the Republican
- 38:49they don't want to mention his name but
- 38:51if you vote Republican they're going to
- 38:54stand behind you that's why are turning
- 39:08away turning away from Republican
- 39:12candidates even at the local level
- 39:14because they won't speak out they won't
- 39:17stand up and say yes
- 39:22[Music]
- 39:26okay and I'm asking this several times I
- 40:14always get the same response I said
- 40:17what's your priority for the Hamilton
- 40:21County Republican Party this is one
- 40:28that's all Joe deters reelected
- 40:34this is jobs that's the biggest source
- 40:38of jobs in the county they know they're
- 40:41losing everything else they are and you
- 40:47know just look around what's been
- 40:49happening in recent years yeah
- 41:12[Music]
- 42:06Williams what working class and she
- 42:09talks about the class cluelessness I
- 42:11mean two-thirds of the electorate have
- 42:14not gone to college 42,000 factories
- 42:19that closed in the last ten years
- 42:216 million 6 million manufacturing jobs
- 42:25in the Austin is there's a group of real
- 42:28grievances and they need some empathy
- 42:30they find
- 42:32infuriating the sort of being looked
- 42:35down us rednecks trash and so forth they
- 42:40care about the issue of gentlemen
- 42:48dignity and dry is extremely important
- 42:51to people who feel that they're being
- 42:52marginalized any of us who want to
- 42:56canvass or anything else have to really
- 42:59think hard about our own biases entirely
- 43:24to big cities Pittsburgh Philadelphia
- 43:39[Music]
- 43:43now these are people that have but for
- 43:56the most part people were just feeling
- 43:59helpless until you can't start a
- 44:05presidential campaign okay I hope maybe
- 44:24I can just felt like that little
- 44:26misunderstanding happened in the room
- 44:28when you were referring to begin
- 44:31evangelical vote and you said younger
- 44:34people don't care anymore I expected my
- 44:37mom called I think what we're trying to
- 44:39say was that some of the younger
- 44:42evangelical voters are not as concerned
- 44:45about certain issues that are the hold
- 44:48their evangelical voters after were
- 44:50absolutist about for example gay rights
- 44:53yeah and I think
- 45:03[Applause]
- 45:09okay I had that situation in which is a
- 47:12variable sign reading over well this
- 47:17story before or equal on when it so
- 47:25existed before the dirty trick shut it
- 47:28down and I during the period towards the
- 47:322nd I would drive equal to the polls and
- 47:36it was almost entirely for
- 47:40african-americans and then I was driving
- 47:42to the pole so we weren't permitted to
- 47:44talk to them about how they were had a
- 47:45vote before but if they wanted to talk
- 47:47about
- 47:48they could and almost everybody did and
- 47:53these many traditionally America the
- 47:57Democratic over almost every single one
- 48:00of them was only for George Bush don't
- 48:03yet and I would ask him why and there
- 48:06were just two reasons and he saw that
- 48:08these are the two messages the top three
- 48:10to them what as clumsy no son but
- 48:15protect the sanctity of marriage and the
- 48:18unborn yeah and I would ask so where did
- 48:22you get this information
- 48:24donkeys the same answer our ministers
- 48:26and and when I asked him about other
- 48:30aspects of what the Democratic candidate
- 48:34might mean to them they were unaware of
- 48:35them so one or two powerful messages is
- 48:39pretty much enough for most people the
- 48:42whole
- 48:47[Music]
- 50:01[Music]
- 50:21[Music]
- 50:24yes you know until I see a microphone
- 50:36so I wanted to go back to something you
- 50:39said about about beaters and clarifying
- 50:42um you said that the rush of the support
- 50:48eaters which they see because it's the
- 50:51largest source of jobs in the county
- 50:53what do you mean specifically what is
- 50:55the you mean in Corrections or or just
- 51:00the that it's a huge operation lawyers
- 51:08or no yes they're the Republican Party
- 51:32in this city in this survived as the
- 51:39strong party for many decades because of
- 51:44patronage because they could give people
- 51:48jobs
- 52:35and that's why Joe Deiters is talking
- 52:40about that's true that's true - that's
- 53:04crazy - if you were gambling man who do
- 53:12you feel who do you think the dance will
- 53:15end up with their ticket division who
- 53:20would you predict I think it's gonna be
- 53:33biting I think that's so not favor of it
- 53:37I think
- 53:39[Music]
- 53:47[Music]
- 53:58[Music]
- 54:14[Music]
- 54:48somebody was acceptable with the
- 54:52right-wing party
- 55:18[Music]
- 55:26what's the mission
- 55:27machine gonna do to the candidate that
- 55:30negative successful machine that the
- 55:34Republican Party is able to focus on or
- 55:38create make up all kinds of stuff and
- 55:42then just big blast the candidate you
- 55:46know the best practitioner of that was
- 55:52for Jimmy Schwartz he was Steve Schatz
- 56:06campaign manager he was his top campaign
- 56:13he ran organization the club found the
- 56:16square groove which applies campaigns
- 56:20which ran all those which all work
- 56:31workers
- 56:31Jimmy Schwartz nobody knows because he
- 56:37locked his doors of his business and he
- 56:40disappeared because there were a whole
- 56:43lot of money
- 56:51[Music]
- 57:04[Music]
- 57:47don't worry about this is my he was such
- 58:06a successful job wasn't successful too
- 58:08much Ellison
- 58:40[Music]
- 58:55[Music]
- 59:11coming out of university and people and
- 59:25so they started a petition campaign to
- 59:28try to repeal this legislation which is
- 59:34very difficult at school and you have to
- 59:37have a lot of money and I I guess I've
- 59:44been in politics of 45 years with the
- 59:47campaign the first energy
- 1:00:10[Music]
- 1:00:30and they're telling people they have
- 1:00:38paid people in circulating petitions and
- 1:00:43FirstEnergy was going around and they
- 1:01:00were threatening the petition people
- 1:01:05themselves and I know I know nurses
- 1:01:10college
- 1:01:12dollars for consultants who was running
- 1:01:16that campaign now tell you the truth I
- 1:01:18was surprised because
- 1:01:23[Music]
- 1:01:30[Music]
- 1:01:44[Music]
- 1:01:52[Music]
- 1:02:07he was disgusted it was ugly
- 1:02:46it's going to get more ugly but the
- 1:03:00bottom line is we want to find a
- 1:03:02petition because we want to get every
- 1:03:04kid right yes okay
- 1:03:14it expires they're trying to get the
- 1:03:16judge to give them more time and then go
- 1:03:19back out of the field and try to get
- 1:03:21more singers because they don't have
- 1:03:22nothing there's enough people that
- 1:03:26intimidated by this
- 1:03:29you know first energy
- 1:03:47ask me the judge we couldn't we couldn't
- 1:03:52meet these deadlines because the
- 1:03:55opposition was doing these right
- 1:04:21executed for treason
- 1:04:57oh okay so there's there's people who
- 1:06:02understand for teach for next week
- 1:06:08they're really good
- 1:06:16I'd like to remind each one the tables
- 1:06:19is a basket that basket pays for our
- 1:06:21rent of this room we're gonna pay for
- 1:06:25our rent so please we expect two dollars
- 1:06:27a head and I just want to kind of clear
- 1:06:30the air here in the very beginning in
- 1:06:32the meeting we had two candidates for
- 1:06:34judicial for the judicial race for
- 1:06:37juvenile course Kerry blue made very
- 1:06:40clear she is on the slate of the
- 1:06:43endorsed candidates now mind you every
- 1:06:47single candidate who wanted to run had
- 1:06:50to submit an application to the judicial
- 1:06:52review or when I got the email from
- 1:06:55lensman
- 1:06:56today I immediately called my friend who
- 1:06:58was on the judicial review board
- 1:07:00travesty my precinct chair and he said
- 1:07:03oh no oh no I cannot tell you and over
- 1:07:06facts but we did not endorse her so Kari
- 1:07:08Boone is the endorsed candidate on the
- 1:07:12slate it's been endorsed by a home to
- 1:07:14County Dems and the Judicial Committee
- 1:07:16so it's really you gotta know who your
- 1:07:18candidates are and I mean credit signed
- 1:07:21edition hurt but she's running
- 1:07:23against me right in the primary okay
- 1:07:25just wanted to clear the air on that one
- 1:07:27on the other hand my my own feeling is I
- 1:07:30have
- 1:07:45[Music]
