HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN HAS HIS
FIRST CHALLENGER OF 2018.
HIS NAME IS DAVID YANKOVICH.
HE'S A DEMOCRAT AND HE'LL B
TRYING TO UNSEAT RYAN IN THE
FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
LAST WEEK, HE ANNOUNCED HI
CANDIDACY ON TWITTER.
"ITS OFFICIAL," HE TWEETED.
"I HAVE FILED THE PAPERWORK AND
AM TAKING ON PAUL RYAN.
HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT HIM GONE?"
YANKOVICH IS FROM OHIO, BU
RECENTLY MOVED TO KENOSHA.
HIS WEBSITE DESCRIBES HIM AS A
REGULAR GUY, BUT ALSO AS A
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED
PROGRESSIVE VOICE.
DAVID YANKOVICH JOINS ME NOW.
WELCOM
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON THE
PROGRAM.
MR. YANKOVICH: THANK YOU HAVING
ME.
MIKE: LET'S TALK LATER REASONS
FOR DOING THIS?
MR. YANKOVICH: MY MOTHER GOT
REALLY SICK, SHE HAD PNEUMONIA
AND COPD AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD
ME SHE WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT
AN ON GOING THROUGH ALL THIS
STUFF WITH THE INSURANCE
COMPANIES, THE HORRIBLE
DECISIONS OF END-OF-LIFE CARE
THAT YOU GET TO.
I GOT REALLY LUCKY THAT SHE DID
MAKE IT THROUGH, SHE WAS ON
MEDICAID AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE
CARE, BUT I WAS THINKING HOW
DOES SOMEBODY DO THAT?
HOW YOU MAKE THE DECISION TO
TAKE PEOPLE HEALTH CARE WAY? --
AWAY?
IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT, I WOULD
HAVE NO CHOICE.
MY TO MAKE DECISIONS ON MY MOM'S
LIFE BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT I
COULD AFFORD TO KEEP HER ALIVE.
THAT WAS THE FINAL NAIL FOR ME.
I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I DECIDED ON CHALLENGING PAUL
RYAN FROM THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE
FOR IT.
MIKE: YOU ARE MOVING FROM OHIO
WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING TO
KENOSHA COUNTY FOR NOW.
ARE YOU GOING TO RUN INTO
PROBLEMS WERE FOR PEOPLE IN THE
DISTRICT TO SAY WHY WOULD WE
WANT SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T REALLY
HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE OF OUR
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
REPRESENTING US IN CONGRESS?
IS THAT A PROBLEM FOR YOU?
MR. YANKOVICH: I THINK IT'S THE
REASON THAT I'M HERE TODAY.
I HAVE YEAR AND HALF TO EARN
IT.
TO MEET EVERYBODY I CAN TO GO TO
EVERY CITY I CAN.
PAUL RYAN IS NOT JUST A LOCAL
ISSUE, HE'S NOT JUST CD 1, HE'S
A NATIONAL FIGURE WHAT HE DOES
EFFECTS EVERYBODY THROUGHOUT THE
WHOLE COUNTRY.
SO FOR ME I HAVE TO TAKE THAT
CHALLENGE ON, TALK TO EVERYBODY
I CAN AND EARN IT.
, ITS GOING TO COME DOWN TO
EARNING THE TRUST.
MIKE: WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE?
MR. YANKOVICH: I'M ANTICIPATING
A COLOSSAL FIGHT.
HE'S GOING TO RAISE MONEY, I'M
GOING TO RAISE MONEY.
HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO COME BACK
AND DO TOWN HALLS ALL OF A
SUDDEN AND MEETING WITH
CONSTITUENTS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BATTLE.
ANYTHING THAT I DO, THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL BE ABLE TO
COME IN AND HIT HARD AS WELL.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG FIGHT,
HE'S FORMIDABLE.
MIKE YOU MENTIONED HE IS GOING
TO RAISE MONEY, LITTLE DOUBT
ABOUT THAT.
HOW WILL YOU COMPETE
FINANCIALLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE
PEOPLE IN THE FIRST DISTRICT
WILL NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOU
INITIALLY?
MR. YANKOVICH: NATIONAL MONEY IS
IMPORTANT, OF COURSE, BUT I'M
NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE COMPETE
WITH PAUL RYAN ON THE MONEY
LEVEL.
HE WILL RAISE ME TO HER THREE TO
ONE.
ANY TIME HE NEEDS MONEY, YOU CAN
PULL IN A DON FOR $1 MILLION
OR $3 MILLION OR HAVE A TOWN
HALL SOMEWHERE ELSE OR MEAN
ROUTES FOR $10,000 A PICTURE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE POWER, IT
HAS TO A NATIONAL THING AND ALSO
A LOCAL THING.
AFTER THE TRUST HEREBY ALSO
NATIONAL LEVEL, WE NEED PEOPLE
TO PULL IN SUPPORT AND VOLUNTEER
AND DO EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY
CAN TO GET HIM OUT.
MIKE WHY DO YOU THINK HE'S
VULNERABLE?
DONALD TRUMP ONE THAT DISTRICT
PRETTY HANDILY AND PAUL RYAN GOT
65% OF THE VOTE.
WHY DO YOU THINK PAUL RYAN IS
VULNERABLE?
MR. YANKOVICH: THERE'S A
RESISTANCE THAT HAPPENING.
MIKE: YOU SAY YOU ARE PART OF
THAT.
MR. YANKOVICH: I WOULD SAY THAT
I AM.
SINCE DONALD TRUMP BECAME
PRESIDENT, ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS I DID WAS TRY TO START
ORGANIZING PEOPLE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE BAD WE NEED
TO GET TOGETHER AND GETTING
CANDIDATES FROM UTAH,
CALIFORNIA, GEORGIA, ANYWHERE I
POSSIBLY COULD TO RUN.
REGULAR PEOPLE AND ALSO
ORGANIZING ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.
RYAN IS IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW.
YOU MAY NOT SEE THE NUMBERS I'M
SEEING, BUT WITH THE RESISTANCE
OF WHAT'S HAPPENING YOU'RE
SEEING THESE DISTRICTS LIKE IN
KANSAS, IS A 30 POINT DISTRICT
WERE 21 DISTRICT AND LOSING BY
COUPLE.
THEY ARE LOSING AND SOLID RED
AREAS RIGHT NOW BY 15% OF THE
PEOPLE I HAD JUST SIX MONTHS
AGO.
DONALD TRUMP WITH HIS HEALTH
CARE AGENDA AND PAUL RYAN WITH
WHAT THEY ARE DOING, IT'S NOT
POPULAR.
IT SHOULD BE A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HAVE CARE IN THIS COUNTRY AND
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THE AREA
WHERE SHE LOOKS DOWN ON OTHERS.
MY MOM FOUGHT HER WHOLE LIFE AND
NOW THEY ARE TRY TO TAKE HEALTH
CARE WITH HER.
SHE PAID INTO THE SYSTEM HER
WHOLE LIFE AND NOW SHE'S SICK
AND THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE IT
AWAY FROM HER.
MIKE: YOU ARE KNOWN IN
PROGRESSIVE CIRCLES, YOU BEEN
VERY ACTIVE WRITING BLOG POSTS
FOR HUFFINGTON POST, NOT SO MUCH
RECENTLY BUT FOR QUITE A WHILE
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW YOUR BACKGROUND.
TELL PEOPLE LITTLE ABOUT WHAT
YOU HAVE DONE AND WHY YOU THINK
THAT MAKES YOU QUALIFIED TO HOLD
THIS OFFICE?
MR. YANKOVICH: WE HAVE
REPUBLICANS RIGHT NOW WHO LIVE
RAVEN INDUSTRIES AND ARE
BILLIONAIRES AND THEY CAN DO
BASICALLY ANYTHING THEY WANT IN
LIFE.
I'M A REGULAR GUY, I'VE BEEN IN
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, I'VE BEEN
BANKING, AND IT WAS LIKE ACTUAL
STRUGGLE.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE
FOOD STAMPS, I KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO SLEEP ON AIR MATTRESS, I
KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE
THINGS REALLY HARD.
I'M QUALIFIED FOR THIS OFFICE
BECAUSE A REPRESENTATIVE IS
SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THEIR
CONSTITUENTS.
THERE'S WAS UNDERSTAND WHERE
THEY'RE COMING FROM, THEY ARE
SUPPOSED TO GO TOWN HALLS AND
TALK TO PEOPLE.
THE REASON WHY I'M QUALIFIED FOR
THIS IS BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO HAVE IT HARD.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE A
PRETTY DECENT AS WELL.
THAT'S MY QUALIFICATION.
MR. YANKOVICH: -- MIKE: DAVID
YANKOVICH IS A CHALLENGER FOR
PAUL RYAN.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OFFERED
THIS RESPONSE TO YANKOVICH'S
CANDIDACY.
"WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS HAVE SUCH A
DECIMATED BENCH AND ARE IN SUCH
A STATE OF DISARRAY THAT THEY
NEED TO IMPORT CANDIDATES FROM
OUTSIDE THE STATE'S BORDERS."
IT GOES ON TO SAY, "WHILE THEY
TALK A BIG GAME, IT'S CLEAR THAT
WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS AREN'T 'MADE
IN WISCONSIN' AND DON'T HAVE A
AGENDA FOR HARD-WORKING
WISCONSIN FAMILIES."
