It's a it's a fun night for our campaign.

NOTE Confidence: 0.13178232

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:15.752
We're pausing to reflect on all the hard

NOTE Confidence: 0.13178232

00:05:15.752 --> 00:05:17.717
work that we've done over the last year.

NOTE Confidence: 0.13178232

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.760
You know, we've traveled more than

NOTE Confidence: 0.13178232

00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:22.007
32,000 miles up and down the I-40.

NOTE Confidence: 0.75339565

00:05:23.410 --> 00:05:25.678
This is August. We've met you

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:25.690 --> 00:05:26.782
in your homes.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:26.782 --> 00:05:28.966
We've met you in your business.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:28.970 --> 00:05:30.610
We've met you in your houses of worship,

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:33.826
and we hear your message loud and clear.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:33.830 --> 00:05:34.770
You're upset.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:34.770 --> 00:05:38.060
That Bill Lee has failed you all.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:39.360
You're upset that he

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.660
attacks our public schools,

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:42.200
that he doesn't have the

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:43.740
courage to defend our teachers.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:46.176
When someone comes to our community

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:46.176 --> 00:05:48.210
and implies that they're dumb.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:48.210 --> 00:05:50.536
He doesn't have the courage to stand

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:50.536 --> 00:05:52.204
up when people are attacking libraries

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:52.204 --> 00:05:53.659
and librarians and public schools.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:55.404
You know, he's done nothing to deal with

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:55.404 --> 00:05:57.297
the health crisis in the state of Tennessee.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:57.300 --> 00:05:59.260
We lead the nation in medical bankruptcies.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:05:59.260 --> 00:06:01.192
We lead the nation in hospital

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:06:01.192 --> 00:06:02.158
closures per capita,

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.729
just like we were doing in 2018.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:06:04.730 --> 00:06:05.946
We can do better.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:06:05.946 --> 00:06:07.466
We need to expand Medicaid.

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:10.620
He stood on the sidelines while

NOTE Confidence: 0.841605415555556

00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:12.120
27,000 of our fellow Tennesseans

NOTE Confidence: 0.784577365714286

00:06:12.130 --> 00:06:14.790
died. He died during the COVID pandemic

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.294
over the last couple of years

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:16.294 --> 00:06:17.840
and the fend for yourself.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:18.948
Response delivered.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:18.948 --> 00:06:22.826
The results that we thought it would.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:22.830 --> 00:06:24.370
He's ignored our rural communities.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:24.370 --> 00:06:26.270
Y'all. Rural Tennessee needs help.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:26.270 --> 00:06:28.496
The lack of access to healthcare has

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:28.496 --> 00:06:30.339
caused caused the jobs to leave.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:30.340 --> 00:06:31.822
He's attacked women.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:31.822 --> 00:06:33.798
He's attacked reproductive rights.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.474
He's attacked marginalized

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:35.474 --> 00:06:37.706
communities like the Unhoused.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:40.986
Like the LGBTQ plus neighbors among us.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:42.985
Rather than lifting them up and we're

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:42.985 --> 00:06:45.158
going to offer a positive alternative.

NOTE Confidence: 0.832459817272727

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:45.790
When I'm governor.

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:49.726
You've told us a lot about what you look,

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:50.838
what you're looking for.

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:06:50.838 --> 00:06:52.811
You want someone who's not just going

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:06:52.811 --> 00:06:54.835
to celebrate that big old pile of money.

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:06:54.840 --> 00:06:56.892
They love to talk about the rainy day fund.

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:06:56.900 --> 00:06:59.372
You want a governor who listens

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:06:59.372 --> 00:07:01.670
and fights for your values.

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:07:01.670 --> 00:07:03.314
You want a governor is going

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:07:03.314 --> 00:07:05.040
to fight for public education.

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.540
I like Jason Martin in November,

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:07.885
public school teachers and public

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:07:07.885 --> 00:07:09.529
schools are going to have an

NOTE Confidence: 0.87517476

00:07:09.529 --> 00:07:10.968
advocate when this campaign wins.

NOTE Confidence: 0.634552882

00:07:15.250 --> 00:07:16.280
I just want a governor

NOTE Confidence: 0.88783511

00:07:16.290 --> 00:07:18.630
who values access to healthcare.

NOTE Confidence: 0.88783511

00:07:18.630 --> 00:07:19.384
Medical bankruptcies,

NOTE Confidence: 0.88783511

00:07:19.384 --> 00:07:21.269
closing hospitals are robbing our

NOTE Confidence: 0.88783511

00:07:21.269 --> 00:07:23.209
economies of growth and prosperity.

NOTE Confidence: 0.88783511

00:07:23.210 --> 00:07:24.536
We're going to expand Medicaid and

NOTE Confidence: 0.88783511

00:07:24.536 --> 00:07:25.899
bring that more than billion dollars

NOTE Confidence: 0.88783511

00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:27.635
a year back to the state of Tennessee.

NOTE Confidence: 0.7998332

00:07:31.780 --> 00:07:33.770
And you all I know, I know,

NOTE Confidence: 0.7998332

00:07:33.770 --> 00:07:35.226
because I've heard about it on the road.

NOTE Confidence: 0.7998332

00:07:35.230 --> 00:07:36.914
You all want a governor. That's going

NOTE Confidence: 0.7998332

00:07:36.914 --> 00:07:38.849
to protect Women's Health rights.

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:42.760 --> 00:07:44.614
No, not thousands of Tennesseans.

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:44.614 --> 00:07:46.649
If everybody understands that government

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:49.111
does not belong in that doctor's office

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:49.111 --> 00:07:51.268
that does not belong in that very

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:51.268 --> 00:07:53.254
personal decision between a a woman,

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:53.260 --> 00:07:54.524
her practitioner, her family,

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:54.524 --> 00:07:57.175
and her God and you all the trigger

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:57.175 --> 00:07:59.233
law that they passed this radical.

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.442
It doesn't even have an exception

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:01.442 --> 00:08:03.590
for the life of a woman.

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:03.590 --> 00:08:05.958
We can do better.

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:05.960 --> 00:08:07.969
You guys, you want a governor that's

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:07.969 --> 00:08:10.079
gonna take power away from the cartels.

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:11.240
You want a governor?

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.690
That's going to help alleviate

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:12.690 --> 00:08:13.880
the opioid epidemic.

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:13.880 --> 00:08:15.665
Help our veterans with PTSD help our

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:15.665 --> 00:08:17.759
farmers who are losing their family farms?

NOTE Confidence: 0.339253986666667

00:08:17.760 --> 00:08:19.329
Let's legalize cannabis.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9116303

00:08:24.130 --> 00:08:25.576
We hear you that you want a governor.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9116303

00:08:25.580 --> 00:08:27.362
He's going to fight for safe

NOTE Confidence: 0.9116303

00:08:27.362 --> 00:08:28.368
communities. We hear you.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:30.390 --> 00:08:33.890
We hear you. And thank you to the

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:33.890 --> 00:08:35.640
people of Tennessee for supporting this.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:37.825
Nomination for supporting this campaign

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:37.825 --> 00:08:41.090
as the best effort to go out and

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:41.090 --> 00:08:43.442
beat Bill Lee and create the change.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:43.450 --> 00:08:45.690
You know, people ask me all the time

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:45.690 --> 00:08:47.967
having never been in politics in the past.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:47.970 --> 00:08:50.434
What is the one thing you have

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:50.434 --> 00:08:52.190
learned on this journey?

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:52.190 --> 00:08:54.600
And it's easy for me.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.777
I've learned that from visiting all 95

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:56.777 --> 00:08:59.575
counties, we have so much more you guys.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:01.188
That brings us together than that

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:01.188 --> 00:09:01.992
which divides us.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.420
There are so many people.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:04.420 --> 00:09:05.680
On the other side,

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:08.020
who benefit by chopping yourself into groups,

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:08.020 --> 00:09:09.370
whether it's East,

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:09.370 --> 00:09:11.170
West or Middle Tennessee.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:11.170 --> 00:09:12.555
Whether it's you know white

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:12.555 --> 00:09:13.663
Tennesseans or Black Tennesseans,

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:13.670 --> 00:09:14.648
or brown Tennesseans,

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:14.648 --> 00:09:16.930
whether it's city folks or people who

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:16.988 --> 00:09:19.305
live in the country reject that mentality,

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:19.310 --> 00:09:21.866
we have so much more that brings us together.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:21.870 --> 00:09:24.369
We need to turn the volume down.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:24.370 --> 00:09:28.140
Work together, quit putting politics

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:28.140 --> 00:09:31.910
over peoples lives and prosperity.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:31.910 --> 00:09:33.670
I'm a healer by nature.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:33.670 --> 00:09:35.588
It's what I do for a living.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:37.144
I want to bring that same approach

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:37.144 --> 00:09:38.409
that I use in the ICU.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:38.410 --> 00:09:41.112
The same approach that I use in

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:41.112 --> 00:09:43.720
the workplace to state government.

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:44.992
In our campaign,

NOTE Confidence: 0.72977364

00:09:44.992 --> 00:09:46.688
we believe so strongly.

NOTE Confidence: 0.828746675714286

00:09:48.970 --> 00:09:51.539
No matter the color of your skin.

NOTE Confidence: 0.828746675714286

00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:53.000
No matter your zip code,

NOTE Confidence: 0.828746675714286

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.330
how much money you have in the

NOTE Confidence: 0.828746675714286

00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:55.877
bank who you choose to love or

NOTE Confidence: 0.828746675714286

00:09:55.877 --> 00:09:57.032
what's your native tongue is.

NOTE Confidence: 0.828746675714286

00:09:57.040 --> 00:09:59.780
Tennessee is the land of opportunity

NOTE Confidence: 0.828746675714286

00:09:59.780 --> 00:10:00.760
for you and we're willing

NOTE Confidence: 0.893444626666667

00:10:00.770 --> 00:10:01.898
to fight to make it soon.

NOTE Confidence: 0.757720514

00:10:06.400 --> 00:10:08.030
Let's make this happen together.

NOTE Confidence: 0.900342875

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:10.200
