Oh, I did. | |
| I'm really on the brain when I told people on a topic similar on the topic. | ||
| I'm familiar enough. | ||
| C-SPAN's Washington Journal, our live forum inviting you to discuss the latest issues in government, politics, and public policy from Washington, D.C. to across the country. | ||
| Coming up Monday morning, the Cato Institute's Alex Narasta talks about ongoing protests over Trump administration deportation policies. | ||
| And then New York Times White House correspondent Luke Broadwater on White House News of the Day and the week ahead. | ||
| And Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute discusses the future of Iran's nuclear program amid Israeli military strikes and pressure by the U.S. to reach a deal. | ||
| C-SPAN's Washington Journal. | ||
| Join the conversation live at 7 Eastern Monday morning on C-SPAN, C-SPAN Now, our free mobile app, or online at c-span.org. | ||
| This show and C-SPAN is one of the few places left in America where you actually have left and right coming together to talk and argue. | ||
| And you guys do a great service in that. | ||
| I love C-SPAN too. | ||
| That's why I'm here today. | ||
| Answer questions all day, every day. | ||
| Sometimes I get to do fun things like go on C-SPAN. | ||
| C-SPAN is, I think, one of the very few places that Americans can still go. | ||

C-SPAN has such a distinguished and honorable and important mandate and mission in this country. | |
| I love this show. | ||
| This is my favorite show to do of all shows because I actually get to hear what the American people care about. | ||
| American people have access to their government in ways that they did not before the cable industry provided access. | ||
| That's why I like to come on C-SPAN is because this is one of the last places where people are actually having conversations, even people who disagree. | ||
| Shows that you can have a television network that can try to be objective. | ||
| Thank C-SPAN for all you do. | ||

| Where are you going? | ||
| Or maybe a better question is, how far do you want to go? | ||
| And how fast do you want to get there? | ||

| So let's go. | ||
| Let's go faster. | ||
| Let's go further. | ||

| Midco supports C-SPAN as a public service, along with these other television providers, giving you a front-row seat to democracy. | ||
| Coming up next, New Jersey primary election winners that will determine the party's nominations in the November governor's race. | ||
| Current Governor Phil Murphy is term limited. | ||
| We're not done. We are not. | ||
| Thank you guys. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Right here, right now, in this magnificent building, an iconic location, one that embodies New Jersey's proud history of innovation, ingenuity, and big ideas. | ||
| I accept your nomination as the republic candidate for governor of New Jersey. | ||
| 14 months ago, we kicked off this campaign with one goal in mind, fixing and saving our great state. | ||
| Tonight, we took the next step in achieving our mission with a clear and convincing primary victory. | ||
| Tonight, because of you, we won all 21 New Jersey counties. | ||
| We won because our campaign is about people, not politics. | ||
| It's about vision, not division. | ||
| We won because of our positive energy. | ||
| We won because we talked about the issues that matter, the critical issues facing our state, and my plan for a safer, more prosperous, and affordable New Jersey. | ||
| Along the way, we also made a strong statement of what our New Jersey Republican Party stands for. | ||
| A party open to anyone and everyone who's willing to work hard and play by the rules. | ||
| A party of Jersey values and common sense policies. | ||
| A party that believes our best days are ahead of us if, if, we have the courage to think big and act boldly. | ||
| To everyone here tonight and all the people who voted for me and encouraged their friends, family, and neighbors to do the same. | ||
| To all the people who knocked on doors, put up a lawn sign, made the phone calls, hosted me in their home or business, donated hard-earned money to this campaign. | ||
| Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for believing. | ||
| Thank you for believing. | ||
| And to our most well-known, part-time New Jersey resident who honored me with his endorsement and strong support. | ||
| Thank you, President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| Love you back. | ||
| As believers in our cause, everything you've done to help us reach this point is greatly appreciated. | ||
| This victory is yours. | ||
| And so tonight, we celebrate, but for only one night. | ||
| For tomorrow, we get back to work, as the real cause for celebration comes on the evening of November 4th. | ||
| And with that one goal in mind, let me say to the Republicans who supported my opponents, I respect your choice. | ||
| The primary is now behind us. | ||
| Let us unite. | ||
| Let us unite! | ||
| As a party, it's time for us to now speak directly to the people of New Jersey. | ||
| To independents and unaffiliated voters who may have lost faith in both political parties and wonder whether their vote even matters anymore. | ||
| To moderate Democrats who feel abandoned, alienated, and ignored by an extreme and out-of-touch, ultra-liberal Democratic Party in Trenton and Washington, D.C. | ||
| A Democratic Party more focused on pronouns than property taxes. | ||
| A Democratic Party, a Democratic Party that would rather coddle criminals than support our police. | ||
| A Democratic Party that wants to tell you what kind of car you have to buy. | ||
| A Democratic Party that believes it knows best how to raise your children. | ||
| A Democratic Party that rewards illegal immigrants with handouts while our own citizens are expected to pay more and get less. | ||
| A Democratic Party that includes people like Phil Murphy who once told us, if taxes are your issue, a Democratic Party with leaders like Phil Murphy who once told us if taxes are your issue, we're probably not your state. | ||
| Who once told us he wanted to make New Jersey the California of the East Coast. | ||
| Guys, who says that? | ||
| By the way, have you seen California lately? | ||
| Folks, the Democrats have controlled our state legislature here in New Jersey for 25 years. | ||
| And for the last eight years, they and the person they nominated tonight have rubber stamped and enabled every extremist and costly idea Phil Murphy has put forth. | ||
| Make no mistake. | ||
| Mikey Sherrill is Phil Murphy 2.0. | ||
| Make no mistake, a vote for Mikey Sherrill is a vote for four more years of Phil Murphy. | ||
| Four more years of the highest taxes and billions in wasteful spending. | ||
| Four more years of state-mandated affordable housing and overdeveloped suburbs. | ||
| Four more years of offshore wind farms and rising electricity bills. | ||
| Four more years of handcuffing our police, increasing crime, flat curfews along our shore, like all of I've had it. | ||
| It's time for a change. | ||
| It's time for a change. | ||
| It's time for bold, competent, and serious leadership, leadership determined to fix our state. | ||
| It's time for a Jersey guy who understands what people are up against every single day. | ||
| Let's elect a Jersey guy that understands what people are up against every single day. | ||
| It's time for a common sense problem solver, a chief executive officer, a hands-on CEO that knows exactly what needs to be done and is willing to do it. | ||
| And after decades of democratic control of our state legislature, I say it's time to give the Republicans the majority in our state legislature. | ||
| Time to give Republicans a chance to deliver on what New Jerseyans so desperately need change. | ||
| And when I say change, I mean it. | ||
| And I mean it for New Jerseyans, all New Jerseyans, including our minority communities who the Democratic Party has exploited and taken for granted for years. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I won't. | ||
| don't, we won't. | ||
| 100 years ago, 100 years ago, my immigrant grandparents made New Jersey their home. | ||
| Here's where they provided for their family and started their own business. | ||
| My parents did the same. | ||
| owning a restaurant bar. | ||
| As a two-time successful business owner, I followed in their footsteps. | ||
| Folks, I'm running for governor, so to make sure today's New Jerseyans and future generations same for themselves and all right here in New Jersey, here's how we do it. | ||
| Number one, we are an attorney general who supports both police and parents. | ||
| Property taxes with a new and more equitable school funding formula. | ||
| We freeze... | ||
| We freeze property taxes for all senior citizens. | ||
| We end sanctuary cities and us being a sanctuary state. | ||
| We save our suburbs by stopping overdevelopment. | ||
| We will reinvest in our cities. | ||
| We'll get serious about reducing the size and cost of our state government and cutting business taxes to create and attract more jobs. | ||
| We will overhaul the public school curriculum, ensure an age-appropriate lessons, focus on basic skills, and provide more vocational training because not all kids want or need to go to college. | ||
| We will promote educational savings accounts, school vouchers, and choice so children are not locked in failing schools. | ||
| We will adopt a rational energy policy that lowers people's monthly electric bills and stops the Democrats from putting those damn wind farms off our Jersey shore. | ||
| Mark my words. | ||
| Mark my words. | ||
| While we focus on these key New Jersey issues, my Democratic opponent will do everything in her power to change the subject. | ||
| Trust me, if this campaign were a drinking game and you took a shot every time Mikey Sherrill says Trump, you're going to be drunk off your ass every day. | ||
| Drunk off your ass every day between now and November 4th. | ||
| But every time you hear her say Trump, I want you to know what it really means. | ||
| What it really means is Mikey doesn't have a plan to fix New Jersey. | ||
| It means she supports Phil Murphy's failed policies. | ||
| And it means she can't run on her own record. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| In Congress, Mikey voted 100% of the time for Joe Biden's failed agenda of open borders and sky-high inflation. | ||
| She voted for big government policies that crushed middle and working class families, making everything you buy more expensive. | ||
| And if you ever needed, if you ever needed any proof how radical she is on the issue of illegal immigration, Mikey Sherrill sided with the extremists in her party and voted against, voted no on the Lincoln-Riley Act. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| Here's something else Mikey did during her time in Congress. | ||
| She got filthy rich. | ||
| As Congresswoman, she bought and sold hundreds of stocks, more than tripling her own net worth to more than $10 million. | ||
| And when she got questioned on it, she had the audacity to say, quote unquote, I got really lucky. | ||
| Guys, as a former CPA, let me say this. | ||
| Nobody gets that lucky. | ||
| Nobody. | ||
| The fact that she can't or won't explain how she got so lucky disqualifies her, as does her breaking federal law on stock trades. | ||
| New Jersey, this campaign is going to reveal who Mikey Sherrill really is. | ||
| It will also reveal how she'll lead New Jersey down the same failed path we've been on for years. | ||
| In the meantime, visit MikeyMadeMillions.com. | ||
| I was campaigning recently in her legislative district, and I came across a woman that said to me, she's my congresswoman. | ||
| And I said, ma'am, that's why I'm here. | ||
| You vote for me. | ||
| I'll make sure she stays your congresswoman. | ||
| New Jersey, I truly believe the future of our state hangs in the balance. | ||
| That is why, for the next 146 days, I will go about this race the only way I know how. | ||
| Full speed, 100%, all gas, no brake, no brake. | ||
| I will go places other Republicans don't. | ||
| I will shake people's hands. | ||
| I will look them in the eye. | ||
| I will listen intently, and I will show them all the respect they deserve. | ||
| And unlike my opponent, unlike my opponent, let me be clear. | ||
| I don't want to be U.S. Senator. | ||
| I don't want to be president. | ||
| And I don't want to write a book. | ||
| Most importantly, I'm not owned by any special interests. | ||
| By December, General Washington led his daring crossing of the Delaware and turned the tide at Trenton and Princeton. | ||
| And here we are, nearly 250 years later, and New Jersey once again stands at the front lines. | ||
| We are in an American crisis, but not in a war for independence, in a fight for our future. | ||
| It's a fight for justice, for liberty, for opportunity, and for prosperity. | ||
| And once again, it is New Jersey's responsibility to lead this great nation. | ||
| So New Jersey, are you ready? | ||
| I am too. | ||
| The reason we were so successful tonight is because of all of you. | ||
| I have spoken to thousands of New Jersey and I've heard your stories. | ||
| You told me about your hopes and your fears, your dreams and your challenges, and you told me what keeps you up at night. | ||
| And here's what came through loud and clear. | ||
| We love this state. | ||
| I mean, we really love this state. | ||
| Guys, I could write a book on the odes to people's favorite shore towns and diners. | ||
| And it's because of that love that the thought of not being able to raise your kids here or stay to see your grandchildren grow is simply unacceptable. | ||
| So you know what? | ||
| In the Navy, we had a saying, ship, shipmate self. | ||
| The mission was never about a single person. | ||
| And I will tell you what I've learned. | ||
| There are two kinds of people in this world. | ||
| Those who think that the only way to get ahead is to put themselves first, and those who understand that when we all do better, we all do better. | ||
| Those people mentor others. | ||
| They create opportunity. | ||
| And I learned in the Navy that true leaders are servant leaders. | ||
| It's as much about serving others as leading them. | ||
| And that's right. | ||
| And I have always been honored to serve this country and serve this state. | ||
| So I want to thank everyone supporting me so that I can continue to do just that. | ||
| Here's what I love about New Jersey. | ||
| I love that you can hike our mountains in the morning and hang out down the shore in the afternoon. | ||
| We are the state that has produced everyone from Bruce Springsteen to John Bon Jovi, Lauren Hill to Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and the Jonas brothers. | ||
| We have everything from the best bagels to Bing Siou, curry to cannoli, tailor ham, egg, and cheese. | ||
| Deserves the best. | ||
| A state like this is not going to be led by a Trump lackey like Jack Cittarelli. | ||
| And I am ready to make life more affordable for families. | ||
| Jack has raised taxes at every level of government. | ||
| He raised taxes as a council member. | ||
| He raised taxes as a commissioner. | ||
| And you guessed it? | ||
| Your taxes went up when he was an assembly member. | ||
| I am going to protect your kids online and create a better future for them. | ||
| Jack sold our kids out to powerful pharma companies peddling opioids. | ||
| I fought for Superstorm Sandy relief and helped bring home millions for hard-hit New Jersey families. | ||
| Jack voted against relief for Sandy victims three times, screwing thousands of homeowners at one of the worst moments of their lives. | ||
| So listen, I'm going to protect our rights, including the right to an abortion. | ||
| Jack has pledged to implement an abortion ban and to defund Planned Parenthood. | ||
| I am ready to shake up the status quo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Jack is the status quo. | |
| He's not changed. | ||
| He's a rerun. | ||
| He's a ghost of elections past. | ||
| And I have fought for new opportunities my entire life. | ||
| From my first oath to the Constitution as a teenager at the United States Naval Academy to this moment. | ||
| I have always fought to upend unfair systems and I am now going to take on systems that don't work or only serve special interests in the only way I know how by running to be your next governor. | ||
| This country is too beautiful to be beholden to the cruelty and self-interest that Jack and Trump are trying to hoist on her. | ||
| So why do we stand here in New Jersey with the weight of the nation on our shoulders, with every eye in the country looking to us to lead? | ||
| I think it's because we have a certain reputation. | ||
| We may have a chip on our shoulder. | ||
| We built a nation and people say the scars we have are ugly. | ||
| We fund this nation and yet Trump and MAGA Republicans in D.C. want to raise your taxes and take away your health care and education dollars. | ||
| The president comes here nonstop to his golf course and he calls our state a horror show. | ||
| But come November, we're sending a shot across the bow. | ||
| We are sending a message because it's usually the people who have something to prove that work the hardest. | ||
| Hey, New Jersey, I've got something to prove. | ||
| Tonight, I pledge to you, we're going to build something worthy of our state and worthy of our kids. | ||
| With all of you, we can take on the tough fights and win. | ||
| You saw it in this election. | ||
| The Democratic Party is ready for the fight. | ||
| We had six public servants run in this primary. | ||
| Each had a different method, a different voice, a different experience. | ||
| But we all shared one vision, a New Jersey that works for everyone. | ||
| Not just the privileged, not just the insiders, not just those who look like us or pray like us or love like us. | ||
| New Jersey for everyone. | ||
| Opportunity, affordability, community. | ||
| That's what we're all fighting for. | ||
| Tonight, after multiple debates, countless meet and greets, hundreds of thousands of votes cast, I know we are stronger. | ||
| We have a clearer vision and we are going to deliver for New Jersey from the very first day of this race that this would be a campaign that we all build together. | ||
| That I would listen to voters first and foremost because we all have a place and a say in our future. | ||
| There are a number of groups that I'd like to recognize who were with me from the very beginning. | ||
| I'm never going to forget your support. | ||
| So to the hardworking men and women of labor, the laborers and the FMBA groups, including the League of Conservation Voters, Chatham Moms for Change, MACTA, Emily's List and door to door democracy. | ||
| I also want to thank all the party leaders and electeds who rallied their supporters and grassroots volunteers to help us have the best ground game in the state. | ||
| And I'd like to thank my team. | ||
| To those who've been with me since 2017 and to those who joined our crew this cycle, your tireless work and commitment to New Jersey are unmatched. | ||
| I am so proud of the team we've built and I can't wait to see what you all do in the future. | ||
| Both New Jersey and I are so lucky to have you in this fight because New Jersey is going to be the place where families want to live, where businesses want to grow, and where children deserve every opportunity. | ||
| Because this is the garden state, and this is where you plant your family and you grow your dreams. | ||
| So finally, I'd like to thank my family, especially everyone here. | ||
| Jason, Maggie, Lincoln, Ike, and Merritt, Mary, Ellen, Kathleen, and Gary, I could not do this without you. | ||
| And I love you all so much. | ||
| So let me close with this. | ||
| If Jack Chitterelli is the ghost of elections past, then tonight we write the future. | ||
| Because the future is built on hard work and hope. | ||
| And here in New Jersey, we're known for our grit, for our tenacity, maybe a little bit for how loud we are. | ||
| But it's going to take a strong voice to cut through the noise from Washington and deliver for the people. | ||
| So I stand here tonight doing just that. | ||
| And as a mama for teenagers, you guys know I am not going to put up with the incompetent, whiny nonsense coming from aggrieved MAGA Republicans. | ||
| So I am so honored to be in this fight and I'm so ready for the challenge. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| You probably can't do better than to quote George Washington in this moment. | ||
| Fix the bayonets. | ||
| I'm resolved to take Trenton. | ||

| In several recent episodes of Book Notes Plus, we have featured books from the World War II era. | ||
| An important figure from that time has been mentioned, but not discussed during any of those interviews. | ||
| Her name is Elizabeth Bentley. | ||
| She was the first person to reveal to the FBI and the Congress the names of people living in the United States and spying for the Soviets, both Americans and foreign-born operatives. | ||
| In order to better understand this former communist spy, turned informant, we asked Catherine Olmsted, author of Red Spy Queen, a biography of Elizabeth Bentley, to tell us the late spy's story. | ||
