REPRESENTATIVE MALCOLM KENYATTA
GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE SIR,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING
THE TIME HERE. LET'S START WITH
WHERE YOU SEE THIS RIGHT NOW
WHY GET INTO THE RACE AT THIS
PARTICULAR POINT AND WHAT DO
YOU SEE YOUR CANDIDACY IS
REALLY BRINGING TO THE TABLE
SPECIFICALLY FOR THE KEYSTONE
STATE.
>> SO FIRST OFF THANK YOU AGAIN
JD, YOU KNOW WE ARE
FUNDAMENTALLY AS A COUNTRY AND
A CROSSROADS. YOU KNOW THIS IS
NOT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE BEEN
THERE, BUT WE CERTAINLY FOUND
OURSELVES THERE AGAIN AND WHAT
WE SAW IN JANUARY 6 ON AS
A REMINDER SHOULD BE REMINDED
EVERYBODY THAT THERE'S NOT BEEN
WRITTEN ON A TABLET SOMEWHERE
THAT
SAYS AMERICA, THE 16 YOU KNOW
AMERICA SUCCEEDS AND PRESERVING
AND EXPANDING
THE PROMISE OF THIS COUNTRY
BECAUSE EVERY GENERATION A NEW
GENERATION OF LEADERS
STEP UP TO MEET THESE
CHALLENGES HEAD ON YOU KNOW YOU
ASKED WHAT I
RAIN SO THIS RACE WHATEVER IT
IS AN OFFENSE TO UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT'S BROKEN AND
OUR GOVERNMENT. YOU KNOW, I
KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK A
JOB FOR STARVATION LEVEL WAGES
FIRE FIGHTING SO HARD TO RAISE
THE MINIMUM WAGE.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO NOT
HAVE HEALTH CARE, IT'S WHY I'M
FIGHTING SO HARD TO MAKE SURE
EVERYBODY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S LIKE FOR TO NOT GO TO A
SCHOOL THAT'S FULLY FUNDED
AND THERE'S SO MANY FAMILIES
ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA, WHO I
UNDERSTAND THAT AND THEY
DESERVE SENATOR WHO ALSO
UNDERSTANDS THAT AND THEIR
BONES AND THAT'S WHERE A NUMBER
OF IED IN THIS RACE AND IT'S
TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE
TYPE OF LEADERSHIP THAT WE'VE
GOTTEN FROM SOON TO BE THE
PREVIOUS CENTER.
>> I OF COURSE YOU ARE
CURRENTLY IN THE PENNSYLVANIA
STATEHOUSE FOR THE STATE'S
100 81ST DISTRICT THAT IS
LARGELY ENCOMPASSING PARTS OF
THE GREAT CITY OF
PHILADELPHIA. BUT COURSE
REPRESENTED CAN YACHT AS YOU
CERTAINLY WILL KNOW THE
POLITICS THAT MAKE UP NORTH
PHILLY IS CERTAINLY NOT
NECESSARILY THE POLITICS THAT
THE FINE. MUCH OF THE
REST OF THE STATE OF
PENNSYLVANIA HAD YOU HOPED TO
TRANSFER THE PROGRESSIVE VISION
IS THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO
BRING FOR YOUR OWN COMMUNITY
THAT MAY VERY WELL BE
EMBRACED BY VOTERS IN AND
AROUND PHILADELPHIA, WHEN THAT
MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THE TYPE
POLITICS IS BEST TOLD TO
PENNSYLVANIA'S EVERYWHERE.
>> THE PORTION THAT CONTINUES
ARE ASKING EVERY WE ARE IS
WHO'S GOING TO WORK FOR THEM
AND FIGHT FOR THAT IF YOU'RE A
WORKING PERSON IN PENNSYLVANIA
WHETHER YOU'RE
IN SO WELL HERE I WHEREVER
YOU'RE NEW IN TOWN OR JOHNSTOWN
ARE LIKE A STAR
IN ERIE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A SYSTEM
WHERE IF YOU'RE WELL OFF AND
WELL CONNECTED EVERYTHING SPOT
FOR YOU YOU KNOW FRANKLY THAT
OUT FOLKS WHO THIS CURRENT
THE COUNTRY OUT PRETTY
DID YOU KNOW TRILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF WEALTH, SOME OF THE
LARGEST COM BUNNIES AND LARGE
THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PANDEMIC
WHILE FOLKS IN MY DISTRICT BUT
ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH,
I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH LOSS OF
JOBS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH
HOUSING INSECURITY HAVE SEEN
THE HEALTH CARE DISPARITIES
THAT EXIST IMPORTANT
LONG TIME BE EXACERBATED YOU
HAVE FOLKS WHO ARE WORKING 2, 3
JOBS TO TRY TO
MAKE DO BRING AT NIGHT AFTER
WORKING ANOTHER JOB IN THE IN
THE MORNING AND SO THAT'S NOT
UNIQUE AND I SAY THAT ALL
THE TIME. THE FOCUS ON WORKING
CLASS PEOPLE IS SOMETHING THAT
RESONATES WITH FOLKS ALL ACROSS
THE COMMONWEALTH, IT'S A PART
OF THE RECENT I WAS THE MOST
REQUESTED SARAH GET FOR STATE
HOUSE AND SENATE FOLKS IN THIS
LAST ELECTION GOING ALL AROUND
THE STATE CAMPAIGNING TO
MAKE SURE PEOPLE IN OFFICE WHO
ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY
PRIORITIZE THE NEEDS AND
CONCERNS OF WORKING PEOPLE AND
SO THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT'S
REALLY
YOU KNOW HERSHEL EVERYWHERE
EXCEPT FOR IN THE HALLS OF
POWER, MOST AMERICANS SUPPORT
LIST, THE MINIMUM WAGE FROM
STARVATION, A LITTLE WAGE MOST
AMERICANS SUPPORT DOING
SOMETHING ABOUT COLLEGE
AFFORDABILITY AND STUDENT LOANS
THAT THEY SUPPORT
MAKING SURE EVERY SINGLE PERSON
HAS HEALTH CARE AS A HUMAN
RIGHT, THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO
DON'T SUPPORT IT OR THE
MILLIONAIRES THAT HOLDING UP
PROGRESS IN HOMS.
THIS COULD PROVE TO BE A BIT OF
A CROWDED PRIMARY.
>> FIELD. WE RECENTLY SAT DOWN
WITH THE STATE'S LIEUTENANT.
GOVERNOR JOHN FETTERMAN WHO
WILL BE ONE
OF YOU. COMPETITORS IN THIS
RACE I ASKED HIM
RECENTLY ABOUT THE TYPE OF
REPUBLICAN HE EXPECTS TO COME
OUT OF THE OTHER SIDE IN
THE JET ALL I WANT TO PLAY WHAT
HE TOLD ME REPRESENTED CANYON
AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT
JOHN FETTERMAN'S RESPONSE ON
THE OTHER SIDE TAKE A LISTEN.
>> CLEARLY WE ARE IN A TRICKY
PERIOD OF TRANSITION YEAR,
DONALD TRUMP REMAINS A A
CULT FIGURE AND IN CERTAIN
CIRCLES IN PENNSYLVANIA AMONG
REPUBLICANS THAT'S WITHOUT A
DOUBT AND I'M QUITE
CONFIDENT THAT THE EVENTUAL
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR THE
SENATE SEAT WILL BE SOME FLAVOR
OF TRUMP SENT.
>> SOME FLAVOR OF TRUMP'S AND
YOU CERTAINLY
KNOW JOHN. I MEAN WHAT DO YOU
THINK IS GO WHAT TYPE OF
REPUBLICAN IS GOING TO EMERGE.
FROM THEY JUST SAW SOMEONE IN
THE MAKING MOLD OF DONALD
TRUMP.
>> WE JUST SAW
AT CPAC THE BASE OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY LITERALLY IN
BOWING BEFORE A GOLDEN STATUE.
AND THIS MAN WITH THE SAME BAG
HERE TO THE STAFF. THEY THEY
THINK MEMORIALIZED IN A STATUE
IN THERE
BOWING IN FRONT SO I SUSPECT
THAT THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY. IT'S GOING TO
BE CONTINUING TO BE WHAT I CALL
MORE OF A COPE IN A CAUCUS
CONTINUE TO AT
THE MAP. WE HAVE TO DO ON THE
DEMOCRATIC SIDE IS HAVE A
NOMINEE THAT UNDERSTANDS THEIR
PROBLEMS THE CHALLENGES THAT
WORKING PEOPLE ARE FACING IF
WE'RE GOING TO GET FROM IT
WE ARE TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE
THE FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO BE
BEST ABLE TO DO IT ARE THOSE
WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE
ONE GO. IT DOESN'T WORK YOU
KNOW I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO HAVE THAT KNOT IN THE PIT OF
YOUR STOMACH. WHEN YOU DON'T
KNOW WHERE YOUR NEXT MEAL IS
COMING FROM WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO STAY IN YOUR HOME, YOU
DON'T KNOW WE'RE NOT HERE TO BE
ABLE TO AFFORD COLLEGE OR 40
FOR A COURT DATE FOR THE KIDS
THAT YOU LOVE, AND SO ALL OF
THESE ISSUES THEY'RE NOT
HYPOTHETICAL TODAY. WE'LL STOP
LOCAL TO ME THESE ARE ISSUES
THAT I UNDERSTAND HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THIS FIGHT ABOUT
AS AN ACTIVIST LONG BEFORE I
EVER RAN FOR OFFICE AND AS I'VE
BEEN IN HARRISBURG
FIGHTING TO PROTECT VOTERS
RIGHTS FIGHTING TO EXPAND
HEALTH CARE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
AND SO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AS.
THIS IS HOW THE MESSAGE THAT'S
FOCUSED ON PEOPLE NOT FOCUSED
ON A CULT OF PERSONALITY
FOCUSED ON PEOPLE AND THAT'S
THE TYPE OF CAMPAIGN THAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE THAT WE'LL BE
RUNNING HAVE THE RUNNING FOR
THAT 2 WEEKS THAT WE'VE BEEN IN
THE STREETS.
>> YOU KNOW CONGRATULATIONS SO
FAR ON THOSE 2 WEEKS THERE IS
NO GREATER EXISTENTIAL THREAT
TO HUMANITY RIGHT NOW THAN THE
CLIMATE CRISIS REPRESENTED
KENYA. I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE.
AND THIS
QUESTION OVER FRACKING HAS BEEN
FRONT AND CENTER FOR A NUMBER
OF STATES ESPECIALLY NOW GIVING
PRESIDENT BIDEN'S SOME WOULD
ALLEGE FLIP-FLOP I DON'T KNOW
IF I WOULD QUITE AGREE WITH
THAT, BUT YOU KNOW IT IS A
VERY TOUGH LINE, ESPECIALLY FOR
SOME DEMOCRATS TO WALK WHO ARE
IN FAVOR OF RENEWABLE IT ENERGY
RESOURCES BUT AT THE
SAME TIME ARE LOOKING AT ENERGY
WORKERS IN THE STATE LIKE THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
AND SAYING SOME OF THE
INTEGRITY OF THEIR DIGNITY OF
WORK MUST ALSO BE MAINTAINED
WHERE DO YOU FALL ON THIS ISSUE
HOW DO YOU SEE THE FRACKING
DEBATE PLAYING ITSELF OUT IN
THIS CAMPAIGN.
>> WELL I'VE BEEN CRYSTAL CLEAR
AND I HAVEN'T CHANGED MY
OPINION ON BASED ON WHAT OFFICE
I'M RUNNING FOR THINK THAT
WE NEED A MORATORIUM ON
FRACKING AT THIS POINT THAN
WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS SETTLE
DOWN TRIPLE DOWN ON THE
SUSTAINABLE GOOD CLEAN
ENERGY JOBS THAT EXIST, YOU
KNOW I WILL NEVER FORGET
WATCHING THAT'S THAT SUPER BOWL
AND I WAS AS TO NOT SEE THE
EAGLES OR THE OR THE
STEELERS AND BUT I WATCHED IT
NEVERTHELESS AND YOU SAW THAT
COMMERCIAL WITH WILL FARRELL
TAKING ALL
THE CELEBRITIES OVER IN NORWAY
WHERE THEY WILL BE MAKING
BETTER IT'S GOING TO BE
POWERING
ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
>> WE CAN DO THAT IN ALTOONA WE
CAN DO THAT AND THAT SPURRED WE
CAN DO THAT
IN SCRANTON WHY HOW WE GET
THOSE
JOBS AWAY. SO FOLKS IN OTHER
STATES AND CERTAINLY NOT TO
FOLKS IN NORWAY. WHAT WE NEED
TO SAY TO FOLKS AS I WAS NOT
ONLY A GOOD JOB FOR YOU, BUT I
WANT A SUSTAINABLE JOB
FOR YOU WE UNDERSTAND THAT
WE'RE THE SUSTAINABILITY INSIST
ON
ONLY 4 OUR PLANET WHERE THE
SUSTAINABILITY EXIST FOR THE
FUTURE OF
THESE JOBS, GOOD-PAYING UNION
FAMILY-SUSTAINING HOPEFULLY
GENERATIONAL JOBS THAT HAS TO
BE IN THE ENERGY THAT ARE IN
THE INDUSTRY THAT THE ENERGY
THAT PROVIDES MOST BANG FOR OUR
BUCKS AND WE KNOW THAT THAT
STAND THE CLEAN ENERGY
TECHNOLOGY, PENNSYLVANIA HAS
THE I KNOW HOW IN TERMS OF THE
UNIVERSITIES. ALL AROUND THE
COMMONWEALTH TO LEAD ON THIS
TECHNOLOGY AND WE HAVE THE
WORKERS WHO ARE READY TO
DEVELOP IT. WE NET OUT IS THE
LEADERSHIP TO ACTUALLY TELL
PEOPLE DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE
FUTURE THESE ARE GOOD
SUSTAINABLE JOBS. THEIR NUMBERS
ARE PLANET AND PRESERVE YOUR
DIGNITY AND A GOOD UN.
>> AND I'M PRIVILEGED ENOUGH
TO SAY I'M HAPPY ENOUGH TO SAY
I WENT TO ONE OF THOSE
UNIVERSITIES IN THE GREAT
COMMONWEALTH, IT WAS MY HOME
