So you're doing I got a guy right here Michael this is the guy you remember that video I just put up Guy challenging Michael Grimm right this is this is Omar Omar Vard I think this might be a good one right so he agreed to to interview so here we go I'm going to get him signatures they're trying to gather signatures so that Omar can get on the ballot so let me talk to constituents and we got him on the majority of the grief it's all works he's out of the streets it's all ticking running against the crooked crooked man crooked crooked politician I see what you're saying but it's just straight ahead it's not far I think it's like I want to say it's like 90 seconds you'll see a star body on this side of the street and yeah just at least take a peek inside and incredible baked goods cookies and whatever but the food is great too all right so how you doing Omar how are you? Hi my name is Omar Vardyad I'm running for Congress here New York 11 Staten Island in South Brooklyn challenging one Michael Grimm all right so we know we yeah my so we know who Michael Grimm is Michael Grimm how many years in jail but he do two years three years I don't know I know I know he he has served his time he is he is paid his debt to society I don't think it's worth talking about so right take a look right here yeah we got we're collecting our signatures to get on the ballot all right cool but I could I ask you questions so could you message what's your message? what's your message as a congressman to the good people of Brooklyn set now or would you like to what would you like to say what do you represent? yeah people oh so so here it is I'm a union worker okay a member of the Yatsi I file my taxes as a mechanic I lived in Brooklyn my entire adult life and for me the top three reasons I got this race are to protect unions and union workers and to create more union jobs to build more public schools our schools are overcrowded so strong public schools and really just a strong public on the democratic side of yeah democratic so and as well also health care I'm for Medicare for all I don't accept any corporate influence or corporate contributions so for me removing profits from the pharmaceutical industry and health care sorry take a take a shot of these dogs here these are my little buddies that's Lucas and Lucy and Lucy Lucas Lucy yeah so how do you let me just going to continue how do you reconcile the fact that the uply running on democratic ticket and a lot of us were Bernie Sanders supporters and we we observed you know the Democrats weren't so nice they came in here and cheated herge 200,000 votes off the off the voter rolls how do you reconcile that how do you run how do you how do you how do you tell the voters to to be comfortable running or voting for a Democrat in light of the fact that the Democrats knowingly cheated well I'm not cheated the constituents so so again like I don't have any background in politics I'm a union worker I don't have any connections to any type of political establishments on democratic side or Republican side I'm just a regular guy and for me I chose a democratic party because it's traditionally been the labor and the union party and I want to perhaps strengthen and recreate some of that that old magic and for me I wrote it right here I don't know if you can see it he's loyal to you not parties that I'm tired of division and sorry and for me you know the thing is is that your question the best answer is that I'm not a per se a representative of the national DNC or any of that right I'm just it's just you would you would concede that if you're if you're running on the Democratic ticket that the Democratic ticket would ultimately in in in many ways dictate your votes dictate your opinion especially in Congress I don't believe so for me it's like for me there's things I'm going to agree with and disagree with on a for many party right and I'm certainly not controlled by like Nancy Pelosi or any national anything and for me it's about what what's really the best for my constituents and what's best for working people the people of this district and also what I what what I view to be our common values our America sort of our American heritage and our trades and sort of a patriotism in terms of what what our common beliefs are and again to me the division do you believe in it do you believe that the Democratic elections in New York City are are real do you believe that the votes are actually counted I have faith in the Democratic party but I'm gonna let you go I'm gonna let you go let me let you go thank you thank you very much see you tonight I appreciate you thank you thank you very much thank you very much thank you you too tell how you doing that good luck thank you for being honest so that's Omar you know thank you guys so that's Omar and I wasn't going to be nicer than you know he's running as a Democrat here in New York right can't be nicer these guys you got to call him out on that I fucking push that guy I was pushing him off the edge and you see how he got constantly stressed he's a good guy I don't want to bash him I I went he went on the record and that was very nice and uh was a good energy peace out
