THANKS
THANKS FOR S POLITICS HAS BEEN EMOTIONAL
ROLLER COASTER.
ROLLER COASTER. SOMETIMES WE SEE MORE DIVIDED
THAN EVER AND NO DOUBT THERE'S
BE DETER RACE OF CIVILITY.
SUE HATFI IS A MOM AND SHE
TRIED TO INSTILL CERTAIN LESSONS
UPON HER SONS AND SHE CAME TO
THE CONCLUSION IF OUR SOCIETY
WOULD FOLLOW A FEW MOM RULES WE
CAN FIND OUR WAY BACK TO HAVING
A CIVIL PRODUCTIVE DEBATE WITH
OTHER PEOP WHO DON'T HAVE THE
SAME VIEWS AS YOU I LOOKED AT
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND I'M
THINKING HOW AM I GOING TO TEACH
MY SON TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO
SOMEONE.
SOMEONE.
SOMEONE. I HAVE THIS POLITICAL SHOW
OBVIOUSLY A I LOVE HAVING A
NICE HEALTHTY DEBATE.
LAST SEGMENT WE HAD A PRETTY
HEALTHY DEBATE.
HEALTHY DEBATE. EVERYONE W RESPECTFUL BACK AND
FORTH BUT THAT TENDS TO NOT BE
THE NORM IN A LOT OF CASES.
TELL ME WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO
REALLY WRITE THIS.
DISCUSSIONIT MOMS AND YOUR
OWN EXPERIENCE?
OWN EXPERIENCE? >> THERE A TWO THINGS THAT
REALLY INSPIRED THIS.
THE FIRST WAS TALKING WITH OTHER
MOMS AND TALKING ABOUT THE
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT THAT
EXISTS TODAY.
EXISTS TODAY. WE BELIEVE THEREO
CONSISTEY. PUT PEN TO PAPER IS
DIFFERENT REASON.
DIFFERENT REASON. ONE EVENING I WAS ON THE PHONE
AND MY SON WAS THERE AND HE
LOOKED AT MIRE PHONE AND HE
STOPPED AND SESAID, WHY DO YOU
HAVE YOUR ENEMY IN YOUR PHONE?
I STOP HE'S NOT MY ENEMY.
HE'S MY COMPETITOR.
HE'S NO DIFFERENT THAN YOUR
HOCKEY COMPETITORS WHEN YOU PLAY
OPPOSING TE THOSE ARE YOUR
COMPETITOR AND Y CAN BE
FRIENDS WIT COMPETITORS
AND YOU CN HAVE GOOD
DISCUSSIOI YOUR
DISCUSSIOI YOUR COMPETITOR A THAT'S WHAT
INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THAT.
BECAUSE IF MY SON HAS THAT VIEW
OF POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND THE
ENVIRONMT THAT EXISTS TODAY,
OTHER CHILDR DO AS BELL.
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I
IMAGINE OTH PARENTS ARE
GRAPPLEL W THIS DAY AND
AGE.
AGE.
AGE. TH
AGE. TH A
AGE. TH A THE TWO THINGS THAT
INSPIRED THIS.
INSPIRED THIS. >> LET'S GO OVER SOME OF THE
MOM RULES.
MOM RULES. YOU TALKED ABOU ONE OF THEM
WHICH IS THE OUR COMPETITORS CAN
BE OUR FRIENDS.
LET'S START WITH PLAY HARD AND
PLAY FAIR.
PLAY FAIR. >> MOST OF MY LIFE I WAS A
COMPETIT IN ATHLETICS.
I PLAYED BASKETBALL IN COLLEGE.
AND THERWA JUST SIMPLE RULES
THAT WE AS ATHLETES ALWAYS
FOLLOWED SOMEBY GETS
KNOCKED DOWN YOU STOP AND YOU
EXTEND YOUR HAND AND YOU PICK
THEM UP AND YOU HE YOUR
COMPETI
COMPETI
COMPETI YOU DON'T HOLD THEIR SHIRTS IN
THE GAME YOU PLAY HARD BUT YOU
PLAY FAIR.
PLAY FAIR. IN THE POLITICAL ARENA THE MOMS
WANT TO SEE A SPIRIT ELECTION
WHERE POLITICAL OPPONENT BRIG
OUT DIFFERENT VIEWS THEY HAVE
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT
SHOULD BE USE AS AN EXAMPLE THEY
SHARE WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND
T WITH THE EXAMPLE WHATNOT TO
DO AS AN ADULT.
TALK ABOUT EMBRACE THOSE WITH
DIFFERENT OPINIONS.
DIFFERENT OPINIONS. I FEEL LIKE IN OUR SOCIETY WE
WATCH OUR OPINIONS.
IT WOULD BE BE BETTER IF WE WITH
LISTENED TO A PERSON'S
OPINION AND THEN FORM YOUR OWN
OPINION AND VOI IT BUT NOT
JUST BE IN YOUR TUNNEL.
>> I WORKED FOR THE REPUBLICAN
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NEWT BEGIN
GRICH.
GRICH.
GRICH. GRESS O THE
2ND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRT AND
WEWE
EWE
STARTEDWE
STARTEDWE EARLIER IN OUR CAREERS IN A LAW FIRM SO WE
DEVELOPED A GREAT FRIENDSHIP.
AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT TO
GO OFFTO HER OFFICE AND WAS
EMBRACEDIT OPEN ARMS.
AND SHE HAS AAYING SHE'S
ALWAYS SAID JUST SIDES OF THE
SAME COIN AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS
SHE ALWAYS SAID TO US AND WE TRY
TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN.
WE CAN STILL HAVE RESPECTFUL
DIALOGUE.
WE CAN STILL HAVE RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE.N THIS DAY AND ABLE WH
WE CAN STILL HAVE RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE.N THIS DAY AND ABLE WHS
MY HEART IS FRIENDS AND FAMILY
HAVE BEEN FRACTURED OVER
DIFFERENT POLITICAL PENS.
WE SHOULD NEVER LET OUR
POLITICAL OPINIONS GET IN THE
WAY OF OUR RELATIONS WITH FAMILY
AND FRIENDS AND OUR NAY PERZ.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEXT ONE.
L UP.
L UP.
L UP. >>
L UP. >> THERE IS NO I IN TEAM.
IN THE POLITICAL ARENA, WE NEED
TO SHOW OUR -- WE SOMETIMES HEAR
MEMBERS OF OUR SAME PARTY AS
OPPOSED T LEARNING FROM EACH
OTHER AND IT'S ONE OF OUR
TEAMMATES H -- MISSES A CATCH,
SO TO SPEAK, WE DON'T
IMMEDIATY GO TO THE PRESS.
WE SHOULD HAVE THOSE
CONVERSAS AND TRY TO BE
SUVE OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS
AND RALLY AROUND PEOPLE WHEN
THG HAVING DIFFICULT
TIMES.
TIMES.
TIMES. I
TIMES.
S
S MORE
S MORE SUPPORTIVE WITH OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVE
TEAMMATES AS WES THOSE ON
THE OTHER SIDE TO SEE MORE
TOLERANC # EACH OTHER.
>> LAST ONE IS I THINK BE A
GOOD SPORT WHI SPEAKS FOR
ITSELF.
ITSELF.
ITSELF. >> YES, IT DOES.
WHAT I THINK OFTEN WITH BE A
GOOD SPORT.
GOOD SPORT. AT THE END OF EACH HOCKEY
PRACTICE WITH MY SON, THEY
ALWAYS DID THE UNITY SLAP WHERE
THEY WERE S THEIR STIS ON
THE ICE AND THEN REALLY
ACKNOWLE THE FAMILY AND
FRIENDS IN THE STANDS.
SO JUST BE A GOOD SPORT AT THE
END OF THE DAY UNITY IS VERY
IMPORTANT LET'S GET BACK TO CI.
I AGREE ON THAT.
WE ONLY HAVE TWO MINUTES LEFT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TOUCH ON
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. YO
THAT. YO HEADING UP THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY NOW BUT THERE IS GOING TO
BE AN ELECTION IN JUNE AND NOT
MOVING FORWA WIT IT.
WHAT'S THE FUTURE OF THE
CONNECTIT REPUBLICAN PARTY?
IS THERE SOM RIGHT NOW THAT
YOU THINK WOULD BE A STRONG
LEADER?
LEADER?
LEADER? >
LEADER? > WELL, WH I'VE BEEN DOING
IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS OF MY
CHAIRMANSH YO JUST
ELECTED IN FEBRUARY AND IT'S TO
FULFILL TH REMAINING PORTION OF
ROMANO'S TERM.
ROMANO'S TERM. MY GOAL IS TO PUT THE PARTY IN A
BETTER POSITION THAN IT HAD BEEN
WHEN IT TOOK OVER.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON OUR
FUND-RAI AND WE'VE DONE WELL
AND THAT'S A GREAT SIGN OF OUR
TEAM WORK AND MOTIVATION AND
STRENGTH OF PARTY.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON RAPID
RESPONSE TM AND IT'S OUR WAY
REPUBLICAN WAY OF GETTING OUR
MESSAGE OUT O DIFFERENT ISSUES
THAT ARE OCCURRING IN HARTFORD.
AND WE HAD TWO ZOOM CALLS
RELATING TO DIFFERENT ISSUES.
SO WE'VE BEEN GETTING SOME GRASS
ROOT EFFORTS AS WELL.
>> WHAT DO YOU THE
REPUBLIC PARTY NEEDS TO DO TO
GAIN MORE SUPPOFRPLT BECAUSE THE
LAST ELECTION YOU CAN SEE THE
NUMBERS FR THE HOUSE AND
SENATE YOU LOS SEATS.
WE ARE NEE T MOVE FORWARD IN A
POSITIVEWAY.
POSITIVEWAY. WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE FROM A
REPUBLIC STANDPOINT AND BE
MORE MORE UNIFIED AND WE NEED TO
LOOK AT THE ISSUES THAT WE CAN
AGREE UPON.
AGREE UPON. WE SEE OUR FRIED AND FAMILIES
AND NEIGHBORS MOVING TO
DIFFERENT STATES THAT ARE MORE
TAX FRIENDLY SO WE NEED 0
RECOGNIZE REPUBLICANS WANT
TO MAKE CONNECTICUT A BETTER
PLACE AND MORE AFFORDABLE PLACE
FOR OUR FAMILIES TO LIVE.
GOING FORWARD I THINK WE NEED TO
FOLLOW THE MOM'S RULES AND JUST
REALLY RESONATE TH THE WOMEN
OUT THERE.
OUT THERE. MANY WOMEN AND MOMS REACH OUT TO
ME.
ME.
ME. WE
ME. WE NEED T TURN A CORNER AND
THEY WANT TO SHOW THEIR CHILDREN
WHAT POLITICS SHOULD BE.
THERE ARE MANY CANDIDATES IN A
RACE AND PEOPLE ARE MOTIVATED TO
HELP OUT A STATE THAT WE ALL
JUST LOVE.
JUST LOVE. >> WE'LL CERTAINLY BE WATCHING
AND I TN THESE RULES ARE
SOMETHINTH MOMS AND DADS CAN
