NV Dem. Chair: 'What the Vice President is saying is resonating in our state'

I'M LOVING THIS. I'M LOVING THIS. IT'S GREAT TO LOOK IN TO THE TABLE. CHAIRMAN, I WANT TO START WITH YOU. YOU HAVE THE VICE PRESIDENT EXPLAINING A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED AND HER ECONOMIC AGENDA AND HOW SHE WANTS TO LAY THAT OUT DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH THE LOCAL PENNSYLVANIA STATION YESTERDAY. I WANT TO PLAY MORE OF WHAT SHE SAID TALKING ABOUT HER OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY PLAN. >> OUR SMALL BUSINESSES ARE SO MUCH A PART OF THE FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITIES NOT TO MENTION, I THINK, THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA'S THE ECONOMY. GIVING STARTUPS A $50,000 TAX DEDUCTION TO START THEIR SMALL BUSINESS. IT USED TO BE $5000. NOBODY CAN START A SMALL BUSINESS WITH $5000 BUT INVESTING IN PEOPLE'S INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND GIVING THEM THE ABILITY TO GO FOR IT. >> THIS WAS AN INTERVIEW THAT SHE DID WITH BRIAN TAPP ON ABC 6 IN PHILADELPHIA. WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT SAY HERE ALIGNED WITH WHAT YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE SAYING THEY ARE LOOKING FOR? THAT THEY NEED? AND HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE FOR THEM RELATIVE TO WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS SAYING AS WE HEARD THERE IN THAT CLIP. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT REALLY CLEARLY DEFINING WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY IS. >> I WILL TELL YOU, IT DOES. ONE, WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, HIS PPP PROGRAM, 95% PRESIDENT, HIS PPP PROGRAM, 95% OF BLACK AND BROWN BUSINESSES WERE REJECTED. WE IN PENNSYLVANIA AT THE STATE LEVEL RECEIVED MONEY FROM THE BITE AFFAIRS ADMINISTRATION AND CAN CREATE A PROGRAM WITH $125 MILLION TO BARBER SHOPS, BEAUTY SALONS AND NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES, THE KIND OF BUSINESSES THAT REGULAR PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. YOU HEAR FOLKS WANTING TO TALK ABOUT HOW DO YOU START A BUSINESS? HOW DO YOU CREATE GENERATIONAL WEALTH I THINK IT SPEAKS TO PEOPLE IN PENNSYLVANIA FROM PILL -- THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH ARE THINKING ABOUT. >> IT'S INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT NEVADA VOTERS IS THEY ARE NOTORIOUSLY IMPORTANT -- IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL AND ARE LIKE DECIDERS. I GUESS YOU HAVE A BETTER READ ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NEVADA IMPULSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THEM OVER THE FINISH LINE FOR KAMALA HARRIS? >> YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST RECENTLY FINISHED A STATEWIDE TOUR GOING TO EVERY COUNTY WITHIN OUR STATE. WE CALLED IT OUR KITCHEN TABLE TOUR. TALKING TO VOTERS, NOT JUST DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, BUT REPUBLICAN VOTERS, INDEPENDENT VOTERS STATEWIDE. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT COUNTY I WAS IN. THE VOTERS HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS AND ISSUES BUT WHAT THEY APPRECIATED AS I WAS THERE WITH MY TEAM. NOT JUST YOU TALK TO THEM BUT LISTEN TO THEM. JUST WHAT MY COLLEAGUE WAS SAYING, BUT VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS ESSAY, THE VISION SHE HAS ABOUT MOVING AMERICA FORWARD AND WHAT THAT BIDEN/HARRIS TEAM HAS DONE, RESONATES VERY THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN I MET WITH AND HE WAS IN HIS WORK CLOTHES DIRTY AND I ASKED IF HE JUST GOT OFF THE JOB AND HE GOES, YES I AM A I SAID ARE YOU DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN AND HE'S A REPUBLICAN AND HE SAID, I KNOW YOU HATE MY PARTY AND I SAID I DON'T HATE YOUR PARTY. -- CREATED THAT PROJECT IN OUR STATE AND I AM IN RED RURAL NEVADA. AND I HAVE, DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN YOU SAY, YES, I DO. DID YOU DO BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING AND DO YOU OWN A HOME? CAN YOU PAY YOUR MORTGAGE AND DO THAT BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THAT CAME IN THROUGH THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY THAT WAS IN YOUR STATE LEGISLATOR. I CHAIR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BUT WE ARE HERE TO REPRESENT EVERYONE. WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT IS SAYING IS RESONATING THROUGHOUT OUR STATE. >> THIS IS SO INTERESTING BECAUSE IT IS NOT JUST AND WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL AND, YES, IT IS DOWN BALLOT AND IT IS A HOUSE IN THE SENATE BUT STATE LEGISLATURES IS WHERE THE POLICIES ARE MADE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN RECENT YEARS, THIS DEMOCRATIC PARTY APPARATUS HAS HAD A LITTLE LASER FOCUS ON GIVING STATES MONEY -- JAIME HARRISON TALKED ABOUT THE MONEY THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE OUT. I GOT CASH FROM THE DNC TRYING TO THE MONEY THE HARRIS/WALZ CAMPAIGN HAS RATE. THE BOONTON STATE LEGISLATIVE RACES HAVE ALSO BEEN IMPORTANT AND YOU ARE KEY PARTNERS IN THIS AGENDA. IF VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS ELECTED, MANY OF THE THINGS YOU ALL, JUST AS YOU SAID, WILL HAVE TO BE PARTNERS IN IMPLEMENTATION. >> ABSOLUTELY. -- THE ADVANCEMENTS WE MADE IN LIFECYCLE ARE LOWER THUS TO PUT THE HOUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES. WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE WE COULD POTENTIALLY FLIP THE STATE SENATE AND IN PRINT UP PENNSYLVANIA WOULD HAVE A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR AND CONTROL BOTH CHAMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE. FOR US IS UNPRECEDENTED. WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN IS TO MAKE INVESTMENTS IN COMMUNITY AND A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND SO MANY ISSUES FOR PEOPLE NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS GUN VIOLENCE. THAT WOULD BE HUGE REST. >> I WANT TO GO BACK TO SOMETHING YOU SAID. IT WENT BY QUICKLY AND IT WAS SOMEWHAT SUBTLE WITH WHAT THE GENTLEMAN SAID TO YOU ABOUT, I KNOW YOU HATE MY PARTY. SPEAK TO THIS IDEA THAT RIGHT NOW WHAT IS ANIMATING A LOT OF OUR POLITICS IS THIS IDEA THAT BECAUSE YOU STAND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF WHERE I AM POLITICALLY, YOU HATE ME AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD I SHOULD HATE YOU. OR I BEEN TOLD YOU HATE ME. HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW WHAT VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS SAYING AND BRINGING TO THE CONVERSATION FLIPS THE SCRIPT A LITTLE BIT ON THAT AND PROBABLY THAT GENTLEMAN WHEN YOU LOOK AT HIM AND SAID, NO, I DON'T HATE YOU. I BARELY KNOW YOU. MY WHAT I HATE YOU? SO, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE BEYOND THE POLICIES AND THINGS THAT WILL BE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT, OBVIOUSLY? THERE IS THIS GRANULAR THING THAT SPEAKS TO US AS INDIVIDUALS. >> IT IS. I TELL PEOPLE I WAS ELECTED TO BE THE CHAIR OF THE NEVADA NECROTIC PARTY, NOT TO BUILD THE PARTY BUT TO BUILD COMMUNITY. WHAT I DO IS I AM IN MY COMMUNITY 24/7. WE HAVE SEEN KAMALA HARRIS IN OUR STATE OFTEN. TALKING TO PEOPLE AND LETTING THEM KNOW SHE CARES ABOUT THEM. NOT JUST THE POLICY, THAT HER POLICIES WILL BE THERE TO HELP THE FAMILIES ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THEIR FAMILY. IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AT THE STATE PARTY CHAIR TO GO TO THOSE COMMUNITIES AND TALKED ALL THE VOTERS AND RESONATE THAT, YES, WE HAVE A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN OUR HOUSE AND A MAJORITY IN THE SENATE, AND WE ARE A WOMEN'S MAJORITY AND THE ONLY LIMITS MAJORITY IN THE COUNTRY. THE POLICIES WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS ARE THOSE KITCHEN TABLE POLICIES. HAVING AT THE TABLE CHANGES A CONVERSATION DRASTICALLY. BUT IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS. IT'S ABOUT HAVING A LEADER THAT SPEAKS TO THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO YOUR FAMILY. THEY SEE THAT IN KAMALA HARRIS AND WE SEE THAT DURING THE BIDEN/HARRIS ADMINISTRATION. A PRESIDENT THAT HAS A HEART AND CARES ABOUT EVERYONE. YES, HE IS A DEMOCRATIC
