And there it was,

back there hiding.
10:43
So, you know, you've got to get your mammogram.
10:46
And, you know, it's scary.
10:48
Everybody has anxiety.
10:50
I still have it.
10:51
I mean, I'm five and a half years out of my last chemo treatment, and I still lose my stuff every time I have to go get a scan.
14:55
You say what to that?
36:27
And I think what she's calling for, and you might be, well, then he ought to give back the money he took from Amazon and all these others.
36:35
Give it back.
36:36
You know, I will not ever forget last year at the Energy Summit in Pittsburgh, The governor was front and center, all kind of press, talking about how great this is, is Amazon is so great.
36:51
You know, I'd also call for him to, since he's saying no NDAs, let's see what NDA he's on with Amazon.
36:59
But, you know, he was all in.
37:02
At one point, they said something like no more than one in a county, because I remember saying to the chief of staff in my office, why would we need one in every county? But that's neither here nor there.
37:13
And then He sees there's backlash, and he decides that now we're going to do this, this, but we're going to fast track.
40:05
What evidence is there? What would they do? What are some of the things we would expect they would try to do?
34:47

Let's see what NDA he's on with Amazon.
38:25
What evidence is there? What would they do? What are some of the things we would expect they would try to do?
115:14
What would you highlight before we get to a couple of areas that I was hoping we'd make some progress on? What would you highlight in this?
115:23
So, you know, that we were able to save over a billion dollars compared to what the governor wanted to do at the beginning.
115:30
We didn't touch our rainy day fund.
115:32
So our bond rating stayed, uh, where it needs to be.
115:36
We were able to protect the, um, the educational tax credit, which the Democrat house tried to destroy.
115:44
Um, So, you know, we were able to get pension colas to state police and firemen and teachers who retired before 2001.
115:55
And that's been something that has been on the table since I won.
118:57
What are the politics of it? Why is it so hard to break through on that?
