'It Would Be Wrong'

" What would like to do just off. Very quick look press statements in. -- And what I actually -- here. Have a letter for the lieutenant governor's house which you'll. If you. Ended the long and short of my letter. Is. Very much appreciate. If Matt -- in some ways proposal is almost representation of something close to having. Earth because we've all the respectable. Season."

" Local reporters nothing against their time together over the last sixty days -- in a lot. -- to have her to take him up on that offer. He'd taken a spot here for the last sixteen months but. You know. As much as him I'd like to do that much about what to do that. I really believe that you long for a couple of different reasons and -- different reason to rule on the back of corrugated. That's an explanation or context for. I was unfaithful. Tomorrow why you all know that every south carolinian. I think the world. Because when confronted with -- all the car. People I talked about it in absolutely painstaking detail someone's talked about. More than south Carolinians want to hear about it and I'm Natalie the carpet -- At the end in the wake of that you'll in the media and pundits and but he also analyzed and deceptive it focused on reported on and analyzed and reported on focused on its more than analyzed and reported unfocused and -- more than analyzing focusing report on still more. Anything that process. South Carolinians. -- that was remarkable two nights ago. And I spoke there and it was interesting that number of people who brought up. The the notion of jobs in the economy we have a better satellite feed now we're gonna switch to that -- that the jump here."

" Weeks after I get worse -- it brought good standing in what was what happened on that front they talk about federal issues in terms of what was happening with health care and I happen. And they talked about a bunch of different things but they weren't talking about this. And would have. Consistency hasn't Hampton had been for lunch. Is over and Somerville. Number he's back and we need to retrace your core region of the state. And and what you find is an amazing capacity for forgiveness. We will rule people. And there's an amazing. I guess acceptance of this notion that god can use imperfect people. To perform jobs in all walks of life. Consistently get that talk to people across the state. And one exception is she here in Colombia and I don't mean this negatively to word that you all in the press but you know. So when the press. Very much are still focused on this and some political circles are still focused on this. That's that you end up with something of them. -- circus because in some cases some political circles what the next job when they think did. You know some stern up on this front couldn't help in that direction or other folks. -- payback time you know I've developed a long list of folks who weren't real fun we're we're coming from the world of politics and they -- payback time live by the sword die by the sword you know -- it's it's it's your time with all due respect to some in the media. Maybe some think it helps all papers meteorite is different reasons as to why this thing has been chronicled as it has. And I don't mean that mean we've been I mean when you look at the fact that this state is 100. Million dollar deficit. This year and the amount of coverage that has gotten. Versus some of these other things. It says is. Recommend we do have some real big world issues that we gotta be talking about. And it is incumbent upon even folks in the media -- talking about some of those. And until I get -- to cut the chase what I say this letters it. I'm not going to be railroaded out of this office by political opponents or folks who were never fans -- in first place. Or put put. A different way a lot of what's going on now is pure politics playing himself. And and so what I talk about in my letter is. You know may hang up his first sixteen months that as comfortable as that would be as much to them I'd like to do better personal basis -- wrong Warren. Because. As much as you look just like somebody. He's not right to go out and try and rewrite history. Because we have an incredible record when it comes to watch after the attacks. And there been attempt to rewrite history on that front. You know the first -- was -- Pure and simple and yet again have said more -- than ever needs to be said. But this next one. You with a win win folks actually goes through all the numbers and look at poll again the different matrix by which we can be compared. We come out looking incredibly good and this goes well beyond. Simply the notion that I Houston state played a full third less than any previous administration. Or one half less than one of the other administrations. He goes beyond selling off. -- that you could fly across Atlantic can save million dollars in the process he goes beyond. Using assessment could move around the state because it was chiefly using that didn't use a plane -- jet fuel. But talking about if it -- that we begin to look into this if people want to be doing serious reform we want to be serious investigation. They will be uncovered -- to turn that now. Forget the cost of the business class ticket or first class ticket or even a private jet across the Atlantic. Turns out now as we begin to do are beginning of a little bit looking around kinda hoped -- back and forth on the concorde. From Europe in days past. It turns out that. Members of the General Assembly were flat on business class tickets it turns out that. There was a longstanding. Practice -- dropped off and pick up to the garden state planes and other assets. Did losing anything the best interest and tax -- It it turns out that you know political leadership continues to tape playing good golf two weddings are a whole host of things. And it really does need to be looked at within that larger context of how did this administration use these data assets. Or anything else to -- responsible for. When measured until the administration. I think it's wrong to try to rewrite history I also think it's. If strong given the constitutionally we access the governorship in South Carolina as much as -- wonderful weekend. Again for future together. Others just because folks might be frenzied uproar Friday growth and -- simply does not mean it is right tactful thing. I would certainly say that. Good decisions. In the world of politics. There's been every other girl -- are based on facts. Not reports. And and sue you for hours to go around the room vowed to ask you. How in the first class tickets had been bought by this administration you to what. -- customers. Will be here yes. Fifty. And we can go around the room get different answers based on and a fair assessment because that's what originally got poor me he has been picked up and -- papers instead resident post occurred this weekend. The answer is zero. And we can prove that and I look forward you know an ethics that it would actually begin to look at reality. Versus 1251. Class tickets went zero or purchased. As a you don't want to make a decision world politics based on innuendo and suggestion in the report we realities something else. And finally I would say -- send this letter -- back to the lieutenant governor. Because that really do believe and I would not be sticking around. For this were it not for this abiding fact. That we had a real opportunity here in these last sixteen months to do some profound things with -- restructuring with regard to spending. With regard to jobs and the economy in the state of South Carolina that have never been there before in the history at least my administration. And I say that because in many cases. People who kept -- to me. The next latter as to -- wanted to do this or that you don't talk about stimulus if you want to run protesters don't talk about this because he wants his next. Bottom line. Again what is it unequivocally clear is that the into the my kind of politics and the sixteen months. But I do want to make the most of it. And I think that with again with people being held in general -- house and -- able relating to -- by the -- it is that do we or don't we wanted to do this -- sort of restructuring. We're spending limits were different opportunities and jobs and economy. That that's what I want -- and that's what I'm gonna be aimed at Cuba next sixteen months and I just want to see that. Leave it with you all. Been would you have me think -- thank you for your time."
