mid-week politics with dave hennen has got
politics and the fact that you have been busy going to watch it with great
interest as a oregon
house of representatives candidate
are robinson was interviewed by rachel maddow got very upset with their didn't
like the questioning insulted rachel
hidden answer some questions and said he was being
smeared
we got to talk to me just a few minutes before the show to schedule didn't allow
for him to be on while we were doing the show live i'm going to play for you some
of the interview the entire thing will be up on our youtube channel youtube dot
com slash mid-week politics
let's take a listen
there are
entities around the country
that uh... come in on behalf of canada
and they can if they're not known they have anything about them and they don't
to come through our campaign
one organization which i
didn't know and don't know i have never had contact with
came and then spent about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars on television on
behalf of it
the happening on both sides of the political spectrum over the country sir
courtly complaint is rather speeches you know we still have a hundred million
dollars uh...
brocco bonnet campaign funding which is an honest
so it's not unusual in the political spectrum to have people advertising on
behalf of canada
but again if the man who they are not part of the campaign
then went down in a part of the vote said and i've never read
save money
from any at not only and not in the store so
occasionally somebody or come up with a campaign rally and the ten to twenty
dollars department
sort out the specifically with sticks regardless of how much other
similar anonymous
funding of commercials is going on are you at all concerned about the
commercials that were anonymous you know that that were purchased in your favor
pronounces that concern to you regardless of of what other candidates
are doing
knowing artery yet
uh... the suggestion is that
all of this campaign financing is transparent to the people
and somehow there some others were hiding stuff in the corner
now if immediate
were really interested entered a really advertise to the electrified be speaking
about oregon now i'm not type i don't know
that's actually don't know where your station at but anyway
if the media
uh... advertise their campaign fund
and for example they knew how much of mine with individual and how much came
from out of the district in in the district
and they knew that peter projeto started out with half a million from
unions and businesses who don't even do business in this district city favors in
washington so on
if they had a thorough knowledge
software
most you know more than a million dollars came from the east using a
campaign
and they had a thorough knowledge from the media where mine came from
then we might uh... argue that there was uh...
uh... a concern that some of it was not identified though we have a situation
where
that
very large amount money remaining spent
the incumbents really don't want to talk about where their money comes from and
of the media in this case is jumping around from people who spent
a relatively small amount of money for the total campaign
trying to make a national issue
so it would not be unfair character is characterization advice
you are not concerned about that that that funding
for the reason i just state if i understand it
if that characterizes i don't think i think all campaign tribune honestly
funded mostly monica bertram adult court suggested that the money came from
criminals
and i told her that was an attempt to smear them and he was by thirty asian
because there's no evidence that came from promoted in fact
the organization doing it i think it ordinary reporting requirements
but uh... there you know i had a say i deny dot i watch that interview a couple
of times i don't think she said that that she thinks the money came from
criminals and the question was how would you know if it did given that it's
anonymous but let's not have had delayed writing it
how do you know your money to cover criminal conduct predicate for criminal
conduct on national trip television pray
you know it didn't come from criminals but i'm sure right weakens we can
quibble about the words that you know it has
okay m_-one asked a question about this now i'm not going to say anything all
that you've written because i know when rachel matter did that you did get the
easy didn't seem to like that but what i want to just knows i'll ask it without
e context about anything written five ten or fifteen years ago what is our
opinion about it is it something that you think that were exaggerated by the
government
borrow
what was but i think we should stop for a moment about what you put on the
screen actually i couldn't see the screen and during the interview arranged
so that i couldn't see it
well i think salary range i think it's typical that the guests there nadia
couldn't go to trial right now they're anyway
before and it's what you put on the train what the quote nine out and by the
court today would have an article i wrote fifteen years ago
during that time you may remember
there was state controversy because
rate of increase and eight cases was so fast
the many people were alarmed that this is a new black plague that at the people
in the country will be dead in a few years
there with increasing at a tremendous rate
so extrapolated the trade with normal epidemiology
you would assume
that this the kids have to be populate the country
these guide the statements were all of the press
one of the reasons they were there with a mistake was being made
because agency is not a disease in excel it is
based condition of the debate of course but what it does is give you an immune
deficiency
so that you are susceptible to other diseases
so if you're dying of tuberculosis
you may be dying because you
or immune deficient because of aids and got to procure los angeles maybe die in
the normal vector personal but if this is very confusing
in the early days fifteen years ago people were still not sure that h_i_v_
and involvement made
and that cases were growing up an incredible right very dangerous rate
which alarm people and they may be statements about uh...
after people dying
but the reason they were growing up so fast with long hair
they kept adding to the concert
in other words
what the where did you make the cut off any infectious the
could be said they come from any or could be said to be they're normally
right and mistakes were being made for
people were adding to the zoo
and these were
these short artificially affecting the rate of increase
and that's what i was writing about that paragraph
the busiest of the course serious saying it's a tragic thing i'm sorry that so
many people die a bit
and have uh...
certainly never made any statement effect the government was conspiring
dieter cause the disease or over
overrated
but in that case fifteen years ago scientists were arguing about all kinds
of aspects of it
and one of the problem
was this
tremendous rate increase
put seemed to be partly because bureaucrats were just adding to the
numbers unity
anand thoughtful way
that put those centers are about
and she characterized them as me at my saying the government
that paid for the government conspiracy that's when she said
that's not what the statements names and nor moreover if she had looked at them
in context with presumably the people who prepared your program did
they would know their characterisation was f_ lee fault
all right well you know the wish we had muslim release that couples
specifications with you
you know my thought looking back as you didn't help yourself in that interview
with rachel maddow and i understand i see your point about why you found it
frustrating but my sense is that they probably is did not help you garner more
votes who would you agree work actuary for money for it
and we kept you going to respond
we got about five hundred emails which were just straight profanity and we've
got five or six hundred from people who
or an outside of the political spectrum management under the donation
it certainly increased increased the finances of our campaign and i don't
think i said anything on their that program that would be offensive to the
voters of
might be tempted to people with federal represents but they were going to work
for me anyway
