HOUSE IN COMPLETE TODAY RATE.
>> Laura: I DIDN’T THINK I WOULD
EVER SAY THIS BUT I MISS JEN
PSAKI.
ALL RIGHT STEVEN THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Laura: WHEN WILL NEW ENGLAND
DECIDE TO SAVE ITSELF WHEN
STATES LIKE MAINE, RHODE ISLAND,
CONNECTICUT FINALLY GET FED UP
WITH HIGH TAXES, LOW GROWTH,
RISING CRIME?
WHEN THEY FINALLY KICK THE
DEMOCRAT DINOSAURS INTO THE
AMBER.
WELL, THEN, WHEN THAT HAPPENS,
WE’LL SEE HOW POPULISM IS REALLY
TAKING HOLD.
WELL, I WAS IN CONNECTICUT OVER
THE WEEKEND I HAVE MORE ON THAT
LATER, FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL
REUNION.
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING TO
FOLKS ON THE GROUND THERE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM REALLY FED
UP AND WERE BOTH SAD AND MAD AT
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STATE WE
ALL GREW UP IN.
AND I SENSE THE DEMOCRATS WHO
ONCE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE
UNTOUCHABLE IN THE STATE,
TALKING ABOUT ELECTED OFFICIALS,
MAY BE STARTING TO SWEAT IT.
REPUBLICANS ARE ACTUALLY
SPENDING MONEY IN THESE RACES
ACROSS THE REGION.
KEVIN MCCARTHY ALIGNED PAC IS
SPENDING 23 MILLION ON ADDS IN
EIGHT DEMOCRATIC HELD DISTRICTS
THAT BIDEN CARRIED BY DOUBLE
DIGITS IN NEW ENGLAND.
SOME INTERESTING NUGGETS, IN
CONNECT’S FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT WHERE BIDEN WON BY 11,
REPUBLICAN IS DEMONSTRATING
BROAD BIPARTISAN APPEAL
ACCORDING TO AXIOS AND IN RHODE
ISLAND’S SECOND WHERE HE WON BY
14 A NEW POLL HAS REPUBLICAN
ALLEN LEADING THE DEMOCRAT BY
EIGHT POINTS.
SO HOW BAD ARE THINGS IN NEW
ENGLAND?
WELL, IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHERE
LIBERAL SENATOR MAGGIE HATSON IS
RUNNING AWAY FROM ANY DEBATES,
IT’S FENTANYL AND THE ECONOMY
THAT’S KILLING THEM.
>> THERE IS A DRUG PROBLEM
AROUND HERE.
I MEAN, THERE IS A A LOT OF THAT
THAT GOES ON BUT THAT’S BECAUSE
THERE’S NOT A LOT GOING ON
AROUND HERE.
THERE’S NOT A LOT OF WORK AROUND
HERE, THERE’S NOT A LOT OF JOBS
AROUND HERE.
>> Laura: THANK YOU
GLOBALIZATION.
IN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE
ISLAND, SOME FOLKS WILL BE
CHOOSING BETWEEN FOOD OR HEAT
THIS WINTER.
>> WE’RE SEEING ELECTRICITY
PRICES RISE IN NEW ENGLAND.
WE’VE SEEN ELECTRICITY PRICES GO
UP INCREASE OVER 64% IN
MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND.
>> Laura: IN MAINE, THINGS ARE
NO BETTER.
>> WE ALWAYS HEAR FROM OUR
STRUGGLING NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS
AND FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT WINTER
AND HOW HARD IT IS, SPECIFICALLY
OLDER MAINEERS THAT WE’VE NOT
HEARD CONCERN LIKE WE ARE
HEARING THIS YEAR AND WHAT WE’RE
HEARING IS WE DON’T KNOW HOW
WE’RE GOING TO MAKE IT, WE
SIMPLY CAN’T AFFORD THESE COSTS.
>> Laura: IT’S INFURIATING.
IN CONNECTICUT CRIME IS OUT OF
CONTROL.
FLAGS WERE AT HALF STAFF THIS
WEEKEND AFTER THREE POLICE
OFFICERS WERE AMBUSHED, TWO ARE
DEAD, MORE THAN 80 ROUNDS WERE
FIRED AT THEM FROM BEHIND.
>> IT WAS MULTIPLE ROUNDS, AND
IT WAS LIKE WAR ZONE, AND THEN
NEXT THING YOU KNEW THERE WERE
SIRENS FLYING EVERYWHERE AND IT
WAS JUST SCARY.
IT WAS ACTUALLY SCARY.
BECAUSE WE DON’T GET THIS.
WE DON’T HAVE THIS.
THIS IS A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> Laura: NOT ANYMORE, NO ONE IS
SAFE.
NO ONE DER THE STATE’S INCUMBENT
DEMOCRAT SENATOR NED NO ANSWERS
LAMONT IS IN A TIGHT RACE WITH
REPUBLICAN BOB STEPH NONESKI.
YOU’VE DONE THIS FOREVER.
AND ONE WHO WANTS TO LEAD THE
CHARGE IS TRYING TO UNSEAT THE
SENT JA MANNER BLEW MEN YOU
THAT.
A NEW POLL HAS HER ONLY DOWN BY
FIVE POINTS.
I FELT THE FEAR BUILDING OVER
THE WEEKEND IN THE STATE, PEOPLE
ARE SCARED.
SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT HAVE
DEMOCRATS DONE FOR CONNECTICUT
LATELY?
>> WELL, ALL THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
DONE FOR CONNECTICUT LATELY IS
TO MAKE LIFE UNAFFORDABLE, TO
MAKE LIFE FEEL UNSAFE, CRIME HAS
RISEN.
TO MAKE CONNECTICUT A BORDER
STATE BY FLYING ILLEGALS TO WEST
CHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT AND TO
TWEED AIRPORT BRINGING FENTANYL
AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND ALL
THE OTHER THINGS.
THAT’S WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
DONE FOR US HERE.
AND THE PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT
ARE READY FOR CHANGE.
I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU WERE
IN GLASS TON BURY, I WAS THERE
YESTERDAY AT THE APPLE FESTIVAL.
>> Laura: OH, I WAS THERE.
>> YOU WERE THERE?
>> Laura: YEAH.
I CAN’T BELIEVE I MISSED YOU.
>> WHAT A BUMMER.
>> Laura: SHOULD HAVE
COORDINATED.
IT’S A GREAT STATE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A WONDERFUL
STATE.
IF PEOPLE HAVEN’T SPENT TIME IN
NEW ENGLAND, KIND OF WRITE IT
OFF, OHS, THOSE LIBERALS, IT’S
BEAUTIFUL, GREAT PEOPLE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A MANTRA, NO
STATE LEFT BEHIND.
THERE’S NO REASON CONNECTICUT
HAS TO BE IN THIS SITUATION,
NONE AT ALL.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS
WAY.
WE CAN CHANGE.
IT CAN FEEL NORMAL AGAIN.
WE’RE NOT ASKING FOR
EXTRAVAGANCES, WE JUST WANT TO
BE ABLE TO FEED OUR KIDS, HEAT
OUR HOMES, GO TO WORK WITH A
FULL TANK OF GAS AND NOT THINK
TWICE ABOUT IT.
THAT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK AND
WE CAN CHANGE.
IT’S TIME TO CHANGE AND I’M THE
WOMAN THAT’S GOING TO BRING
CHANGE TO CONDUCT CUT.
>> Laura: LEORE YOU’RE SO
COURAGEOUS AND BRAVE TO BE DOING
WHAT YOU’RE DOING BUT YOU HAVE
BIG MONEY ON THE OTHER SIDE
SENATOR RICHARD BLOOMEN YOU THAT
WHO WAS EXPRESSING FRUSTRATION
AT SAUDI ARABIA FOR NOT BAILING
OUT THE DEMOCRATS ON THE HIGH
GAS PRICES.
WATCH THIS.
>> HUMONGOUS BLUNDER BY THE
SAUDIS THAT IS AGAINST THEIR OWN
SELF INTEREST AS WELL AS THE
THREAT TO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY,
THE DANGER OF RISING OIL PRICES
TO AMERICAN CONSUMERS AT THE
PUMP.
IT HARMS AMERICANS AND I THINK
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION MORE
THAN ANY OF US IS WELL AWARE OF
THESE PRACTICAL CONSEQUENCES.
>> LEORA IF THERE EVER WAS A
WORTHLESS U.S. SENATOR RICHARD
BLUMENTHAL IS HE.
IT DISGUSTS ME TO HEAR HIM SAY
THAT, GIVEN OUR ENERGY GLUT THAT
WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY AND WHAT
WE’VE DONE TO OUR OWN PEOPLE.
CONNECTICUT JUST FOR THAT THEY
SHOULD VOTE AGAINST HIM, JUST
FOR THAT COMMENT.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU.
AND I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE,
HE’S THE SENATOR WHO VOTED FOR
THE JCPOA, THE LAST IRAN
AGREEMENT, AND HE WILL DO IT
AGAIN.
HE IS THREATENING THE SAUDIS BY
SAYING WHAT HE SAID.
AND, BY THE WAY, HE ONLY WANTED
FOR THEM TO DELAY THEIR
REDUCTION IN PROCEED TUCKS BY
ONE MONTH SO HE COULD WIN THE
ELECTION.
HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE
OF CONNECTICUT, BUT I DO.
I WANT TO REHE INVIGORATE
AMERICAN ENERGY PRODUCTION SO WE
CAN BRING THOSE PRICES DOWN
AGAIN PERMANENTLY.
AND I WOULD LOVE PEOPLE TO GO TO
MY WEB SITE LEORAFOR CT.COM TO
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POLICIES
I’LL BE PROMOTEING
Laura: MS. LEVY WE NEED A
FEMALE CONNECTICUT SENATOR
