1
00:00:00,367 --> 00:00:00,901
I will

2
00:00:00,968 --> 00:00:01,401
say, one thing that

3
00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:02,035
stood out to me

4
00:00:02,102 --> 00:00:02,936
this week is Tony Evers

5
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:04,171
did an interview

6
00:00:04,238 --> 00:00:05,706
with WISN-TV

7
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:06,974
he was straight up asked

8
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,842
if he sought out

9
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:11,111
Democratic votes on this bill

10
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:12,346
and he said no.

11
00:00:12,412 --> 00:00:13,714
Zac,

12
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:14,414
how do you do that

13
00:00:14,481 --> 00:00:16,049
in the Senate, given the,

14
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:16,750
you know,

15
00:00:16,817 --> 00:00:17,885
political breakdown there?

16
00:00:17,951 --> 00:00:18,886
I mean, I would call it

17
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:20,053
political malpractice.

18
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:20,521
Apparently,

19
00:00:20,587 --> 00:00:21,021
he was told

20
00:00:21,088 --> 00:00:21,722
that he had

21
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:22,656
the Republican votes alone

22
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:23,924
to pass it in that chamber.

23
00:00:23,991 --> 00:00:24,992
One, it's surprising

24
00:00:25,058 --> 00:00:26,159
that he would count

25
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:26,927
just on those,

26
00:00:26,994 --> 00:00:28,295
but especially given

27
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:29,263
the two senators

28
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:29,930
that we've talked

29
00:00:29,997 --> 00:00:31,031
about repeatedly in that

30
00:00:31,098 --> 00:00:31,532
chamber

31
00:00:31,598 --> 00:00:32,032
that have voted

32
00:00:32,099 --> 00:00:32,666
against every

33
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:33,333
one of these proposals,

34
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,668
including the last three

35
00:00:34,735 --> 00:00:36,270
budgets, and senators

36
00:00:36,336 --> 00:00:37,538
Nass and Kapenga

37
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:38,805
Nass is leaving.

38
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:39,773
We talked about it last week.

39
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,607
There's no way he's

40
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:41,175
going to be a

41
00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:41,842
yes vote on this.

42
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:43,477
No one would ever believe

43
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:44,244
that I.

44
00:00:44,311 --> 00:00:44,845
I don't care

45
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:45,913
who you're talking to,

46
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:46,747
but then that assumes

47
00:00:46,813 --> 00:00:47,548
that you're going to get

48
00:00:47,614 --> 00:00:48,182
Kapenga as well.

49
00:00:48,248 --> 00:00:48,749
And not to

50
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:49,550
not to count Senator

51
00:00:49,616 --> 00:00:51,018
Hutton, who's also leaving

52
00:00:51,084 --> 00:00:52,252
the chamber, who voted no.

53
00:00:52,319 --> 00:00:52,953
In the end,

54
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:54,054
I think they thought maybe

55
00:00:54,121 --> 00:00:54,788
more likely

56
00:00:54,855 --> 00:00:55,489
they could have gotten him.

57
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:56,323
But Kapenga has been a no.

58
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:56,957
In the

59
00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:57,758
last couple of budgets.

60
00:00:57,824 --> 00:00:58,926
So those are really

61
00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:00,427
big assumptions.

62
00:01:00,494 --> 00:01:01,061
At a time

63
00:01:01,128 --> 00:01:02,563
when you have Democrats

64
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:03,263
over there,

65
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:04,398
why not reach out and say,

66
00:01:04,464 --> 00:01:05,632
hey, if we need you,

67
00:01:05,699 --> 00:01:07,367
will you be there?
