Ned Lamont

I was reading a story this morning, um, during headlines that shows that, um, the opposite is happening than what historically typically happens.

In other, in other words, um, th- there was a poll about a month ago that, that said that there were 17 points between, uh, Ned Lamont and Ryan Fazio.

Now, usually as you get closer to election day, whoever is in the lead and, and whoever's challenging, usually that gap closes a little bit because there's just more exposure and, and more media time and, and more visibility.

But the opposite happened, which I found very odd.

Not just from weather, though.

You can really tell this in our utility bills.

Under Governor Ned Lamont and the Democrat supermajority legislature, Connecticut has quickly become one of the most unaffordable states in the nation.

From sky-high electric rates and mounting public benefit charges to rising gas and utility costs, middle-class budgets are being pushed to the absolute brink.

Right.

So they, if they're living in a state that this governor has not signed on, and if Governor Lamont signs on in Connecticut, and you're a, you know, St. Joe's or Immaculate High School alumni living somewhere where they haven't signed on, the way you can access it is, you know, send it to- send it home.

[chuckles] Please send it home.

Send it...

... and it, and it seems like...

Now, if someone has brought this up already, please excuse me, but it seems that the latest Quinnipiac Poll has Lamont up by 20 points.

Yes.

Now, last week he was up by 17.

Interesting that you'd mention that

... how can that possibly be?

Look, again, this is the thing that I've tried to say for a long time, and I'm glad you picked up on it, right? So what Quinnipiac is saying to us is that Lamont is a Teflon candidate, right? It doesn't matter CCSU, it doesn't matter C- uh, Costa Diamantis.

It doesn't matter with the constant theme of, you know, uh, what do you call it, uh, rate payers go, spending through the roof for energy in the state.

She says that she will not leave any money on the table for the children of the state.

So here in Connecticut, we are awaiting Governor Lamont's decision, and we're praying that he will also follow the lead of the governor of New York and the governor of Colorado and so many others.

How many have opted in so far? Do you know, Anne? You must know.

So this is really an important part of this program.

So we have 31 states that are participating so far and governors have until January 1st of 2027 to make that decision.

So we were thrilled to see Governor Hochul make her announcement last Friday that New York is participating.

And we have had positive conversations with Governor Lamont's team and know he's reviewing those regulations that were just released a little over a week ago.

And we're hoping that every state will participate because, as I mentioned, the students miss out if the state doesn't participate.

We've, we've sued Trump 40 times, and we've done this, and we've done, shut up.

How about y- you know, oh, and have you seen, have you seen any of the commercials with Ned Lamont in it?

Mm-hmm.

Or, I saved the [laughs] taxpayers 400 on the electric bill.

It's just, it's, it's absurd.

I watched...

Last night I was, I was watching TV for a little bit and I saw one of those campaign ad comes up with Ned Lamont and I just pissed my pants.

I, I go, "You've got to be shitting me-

So everybody said, you know, in the, in the way the news covered it, they were like, "Oh, well, you can't buy Glocks after this day."

Ned Lamont was the Glock salesman of the year.

He was the Glock salesman of the year, just like, just like, uh, in the past, you know, O- Obama was the salesman-

Yep
