1
00:00:00,767 --> 00:00:00,968
So I gotta say, as somebody

2
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:01,602
who's covered

3
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:02,402
Wisconsin politics

4
00:00:02,469 --> 00:00:03,170
for a while

5
00:00:03,237 --> 00:00:04,338
now, it's still a little bit,

6
00:00:04,404 --> 00:00:06,006
jarring to me to see

7
00:00:06,073 --> 00:00:07,541
people just self-identify

8
00:00:07,608 --> 00:00:09,042
as democratic socialist

9
00:00:09,109 --> 00:00:10,010
for example.

10
00:00:10,077 --> 00:00:12,112
I think five years ago,

11
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:12,946
I wasn't seeing that.

12
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:13,680
And now

13
00:00:13,747 --> 00:00:14,681
Democrats are saying, yeah,

14
00:00:14,748 --> 00:00:15,315
we are that.

15
00:00:15,382 --> 00:00:16,650
That's who we represent.

16
00:00:16,717 --> 00:00:17,818
That's our values.

17
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:18,952
But then you also you know,

18
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:19,686
when I go again

19
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:21,388
to a Francesca Hong rally,

20
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:22,022
that's something

21
00:00:22,089 --> 00:00:23,357
that people see as a,

22
00:00:23,423 --> 00:00:24,258
as a reason

23
00:00:24,324 --> 00:00:25,125
that they support her.

24
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:25,826
And so it is

25
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:26,426
one of those things that.

26
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:26,894
Yeah, that

27
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,494
the term can

28
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:28,262
either be an insult

29
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:29,196
or it can be,

30
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:30,097
an endorsement,

31
00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:30,664
depending on

32
00:00:30,731 --> 00:00:31,598
who's leveling it.

33
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:33,600
Her basic message seems to be

34
00:00:33,667 --> 00:00:35,369
these are, dire times.

35
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:35,936
We need a new

36
00:00:36,003 --> 00:00:37,437
kind of politics.

37
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:39,339
Rich, I,

38
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:40,874
I do think that Republicans

39
00:00:40,941 --> 00:00:41,808
have a different take

40
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:42,409
when it comes

41
00:00:42,476 --> 00:00:44,211
to this stuff, though.

42
00:00:44,278 --> 00:00:45,646
Well, based on what

43
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:46,947
I've seen from,

44
00:00:47,014 --> 00:00:47,648
I guess,

45
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:48,649
some of the talking heads

46
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:50,050
on social media,

47
00:00:50,117 --> 00:00:51,084
I could sum it up.

48
00:00:51,151 --> 00:00:51,818
Is this all

49
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:53,187
Democrats are socialists.

50
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:54,188
That's what Republicans

51
00:00:54,254 --> 00:00:55,756
are trying to pitch

52
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:57,090
right now to voters.

53
00:00:57,157 --> 00:00:58,358
Republicans are

54
00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:00,260
excited about hung

55
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:01,995
maybe being the,

56
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:04,064
nominee in Wisconsin,

57
00:01:04,131 --> 00:01:05,299
because they think that

58
00:01:05,365 --> 00:01:06,033
that'll give them

59
00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:07,801
the best shot at making

60
00:01:07,868 --> 00:01:10,437
sure that Tom Tiffany wins.
