So now we go to New Jersey where unfortunately in my home state we have
a terrible case of corruption, but it does have one sweet ending to it.
And then the other ending, you will decide, interesting, guys in a sense,
we live in a movie.
And you guys are actually actors in that movie and
you can decide the ending, especially in this one, so you'll see.
First, I don't know if you heard this story, It's really interesting.
This guy, Stephen Sweeney was the head of the Senate in New Jersey.
And he has as you're gonna see in the story,
nearly infinite campaign contributions.
And he was considered invincible, unbeatable and
then he lost to a truck driver named Edward Durr.
So this guy, now do I agree with Durr?
No, I do not, he has said some anti Muslim things.
He's equivocal about Charlottesville, so
I am definitely not a fan of Durr, but what he did was amazing.
It's more though about Sweeney's corruption than it is about Randall Durr.
So let me begin to tell you this story and
then you'll see how it actually affects you.
Mr Durr told the news outlets that he has spent $153 on his campaign.
But financial disclosure reports indicate he spent roughly $2,200 on his race.
His meager campaign included the 80-second campaign video where he accentuated his
working class roots with an opening scene of his stepping down from his truck cab.
And ending with his riding away on a motorcycle,
his victory was announced on the same day Mr. Durr was on a shift driving his truck.
So there are tons of Bs stories in politics, this ain't one of them.
Okay, so there's a real dude, he works I think for
furnishing company doing trucking for them.
And as he's trucking he finds out that he actually won $2200 is nothing
on a campaign like this going up against the head of the Senate in your state,
it might as well be $0 you can't run any ads.
He shot his so-called add-on a on his cell phone.
So he's a real dude now he's a dude I don't agree with,
but I love that in this one case and it is deeply ironic that money in
politics not only didn't help Sweeney, it hurts Sweeney.
Now as Durr himself explains, he says it didn't happen because of me,
I'm nobody, I'm absolutely nobody, I'm just a simple guy.
It was the people and in this case that is obviously true because,
[LAUGH] he didn't have any money.
So now why were people furious as Sweeney?
Why did they get rid of this guy that everybody thought was invincible and
had all this money?
Well that's because he's corrupt, deeply corrupt.
He's so corrupt, even the media talks about it, which almost never happens,
now get a load of this.
Earlier in his career,
Sweeney pretended to care about getting money out of politics.
You're gonna get a good belly laugh out of that in a second when you see the reality.
But he even helped Wolfpack passed their resolution in New Jersey.
What that resolution does is it says we're calling for
a convention to get an amendment to get money out of politics.
And we're doing at the state level, we don't need Washington.
If enough states called for a convention, we could actually get an amendment without
having to deal with any other corrupt people in DC.
Well, Sweeney loses and he immediately introduces a resolution saying no,
no, no, no, we gotta get to pull it back.
We do want money in politics, dammit I corruptions gotta work.
So you never meant it, did you?
You never meant it, so I'll show you the guys who got that resolution passed,
werewolf back in 2014.
So here they are in front of the state legislature in New Jersey.
Real Americans, none of them political, none of them lobbyists,
they're all wonderful Americans.
Who went there and made all the difference these guys back in 2014
beat the lobbyist for coke enterprises.
The coke brothers sent their lockers.
No, we got to keep money in politics.
And our actual New Jersey voters that volunteered their and
Walker Green was their leader.
Made a giant difference at the end,
they celebrate, I'll show you a quick video from back then.
This is what they chanted at the steps after they want.
>> How strong?
>> Too strong.
>> How strong?
>> Too strong.
>> How strong?
>> Too strong.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Look at that,
that's America, so now with Sweeney lost, he became super bitter.
It's like I don't like that, that was the average American winning.
So this pig who eats at the trough of donors and this is the fact
we'll show you no, I'm gonna do undo the one good thing I did.
And since he's so powerful in the Senate,
even after he lost all the other senators were like, yes sir.
Absolutely sir, more money in politics, sir.
Absolutely, so there were sending all the convention calls now is there's another
irony here Sweeney has pretended to be fiscally conservative and you know,
I'm for balanced budgets and stuff.
They were sending anything related to balanced budgets not to help the balanced
budget amendment.
I don't want the balanced budget amendment to rightly amendment.
But Sweeney says he cares about balanced budgets and
he says he's doing this to get rid of that.
Well, that doesn't make any sense at all, that contradicts what do you say.
So the real reason they're doing it is to protect their corruption.
Now, by the way, I'm gonna tell you the rest of the story here about Sweeney's
corruption with facts.
But you can help today, so go to wolf-pac.com/SaveNJ because now,
unfortunately because of Sweeney fraud.
They rescinded our resolution in the Senate, but
they have not done it in the assembly yet.
So if you go there, it takes about a minute to tell Wolfpack who you are.
And then they use that to help fight back in New Jersey and you gotta do it now,
you gotta do it now because they're gonna vote on it, possibly within this week.
And especially if you live in New Jersey, go to wolf-pac.com/saveNJ and
you put enough pressure on just like we wanted the first time.
We can actually save it this time.
So now back to Sween in the first two years of mr Murphy's term, the new york
times explains that the governor of New Jersey before the pandemic settled in.
Mr Sweeney served as an obstacle to the governor's expansive progressive agenda.
Of course, he did further burnishing his moderate democratic bona fetus
by pushing back on increases in budget spending and a plan to tax the wealthy.
So Sweeney who pretended to be a democrat who pretended to be on the left and
he's got all this.
I'm a Union guy, I fight for the average guy and what did he actually do?
He fought the democratic administration to make sure that they did
not tax the wealthy.
He's like, my beloved wealthy, my beloved beloved rich, I work for you.
I pledge you lost our truck driver,
you lost our truck driver who had no money at all your loser.
That's what happens when you're corrupt and we're going to call out every corrupt
politician, including people in New Jersey Assembly.
We're not gonna let you get away with your corruption and next time it'll be you and
not Sweeney.
So, you're gonna cry about that, no.
What do you want us to do, serve the average American?
Yes, that's what we want you to do, whoa.
But my daughters want me to be corrupt.
Well then you're gonna be next, but they go further New York Times,
this almost never happens.
But it's the corruption in New Jersey is so brazen,
they actually explained it in the paper.
They said Mr Sweeney was closely aligned with George, E Norcross and
insurance executive and powerful power broker whose stranglehold on
southern New Jersey politics lead many to see him as a shadow governor.
I guess if this bill passes in the New Jersey Assembly,
we'll have to look a lot more into Mr Norcross,
who apparently has a stranglehold on our democracy and he revels in corruption.
We'll have to look a lot more into him.
We're thinking of hiring reporters all across the country.
We're gonna start in California, but we'll start in the most corrupt state.
So right now, New Jersey is in great shape because they have not rescinded it.
They're actually one of the five states that are actually doing something about
Citizens United, doing something about the corruption.
But if they go out of their way to rescind it and say we are pro corruption,
I guess we're gonna have to hire reporters.
We're gonna have to do story after story, figuring out why Norcross has
a stranglehold on the government of New Jersey and
it's a shadow was the shadow governor.
I guess we're gonna have to dig and dig and dig into his business and find out why
he's so in favor of the wealthy and how many politicians has he bought?
It's a good question someone should look into it, so now he even explains himself.
Norcross said this, he explains Sweeney's losses out of nowhere.
He says Sweeney's loss basically happened with such warp speed that
there was nothing that could have been anticipated or
done because it's not like we didn't have the money available to do it, [LAUGH] man.
Apparently corruption in in New Jersey is so rampant and
so obvious that he doesn't mind admitting it to the New York times.
If we found out about this pesky, average american who was going to run
against us and we knew how unpopular Sweeney was.
He said it's not like there wasn't money available to do it,
we would have spent more money.
We would have been even more corrupt and we would have bought that seat for
Sweeney and they would have kept working for me and be my sock puppet.
Hey boy sweetie, run, run a do as I tell you, okay, Sweeney goes and
fetches, that's how these politicians are.
You think they're tough guys, no, Sweeney's not even powerful,
he's just the errand boy for Norcross and in New Jersey.
So brazen, they tell you, they're like, yeah, he works for
me, I'm the wealthy guy and he stopped the taxes for me.
And Norcross then goes and tells the papers, yeah,
I don't like these progressives.
Yeah, I don't like their plans, yeah, of course you don't like their place because
you're corrupt and you want to protect your wealth.
Okay, well look guys, there's 50 states If New Jersey leaves the Wolfpack
resolution alone, free and fair elections, the resolutions for free and
fair elections, they leave that alone as other 49 other states.
If they rescind it, we're going to focus like a laser beam on New Jersey and
we're gonna find out more about North Cross.
And we're gonna find out about the people in the assembly and we're gonna share it
with you guys because you shouldn't know how corrupt your politicians are.
If on the other hand, they actually do the right things then God bless, that's great.
That's how democracy should work, but right now New Jersey is going to decide.
Those politicians are gonna decide what you're gonna decide
by putting pressure on them.
At the minimum, they have to know that you care, by the way you should do this.
Even if you don't live in New Jersey, because you can help by making calls and
by doing other things.
But especially if you live in New Jersey than your voice is
much more important because they care more about their constituents,
and we're great at getting their actual constituents out there.

It takes about one minute, and we're gonna,
let's show them people power one more time in New Jersey.
