Congressman Ted Turner quite a thought but it is not that dead who could pull it all -- it is it's on 108.

Who's running about as far away from his liberal -- as he can so we can -- -- Teddy turner is running for congress as Republican of South Carolina and before you think this Ted's house think again.

This guy -- quite his father's philosophical side.

We invited -- opponents to come on a including former governor Sanford we have yet to hear about -- hope springs eternal.

On Teddy you know Monica -- -- that welcome good to have you.

Now that daddy's buying you can't go around energies -- yourself as Ted Turner FX back.

On -- I know you said you know you look at that very much an -- he's very prodding you know what media as you featured prominently on his website.

I guess he -- you when you from a -- bill O Reilly -- with what you did a good job.

Even though -- data extra effort to say what you love your dad you you don't love its politics in a far from him and remind folks you're you know you're a graduate of the Citadel I've been you have a conservative -- tossing credentials you've been abroad.

-- did -- conflicts you know the media well you know.

Well a lot of our enemies well.

But you still can't get past that name doesn't hurt.

It does it does a little bit only because people have preconceived notions you know people think they know me they think I was raised with the silver -- in my mouth.

They think I don't know the value of the dollar -- -- -- or think that you know that -- -- -- worries Minnesota's run amounted that is one of the richest people on the planet.

He was it when I was a kid no indirect business guy that -- you know that.

You know CNN started in 1980 any almost went broke you know they they bought MGM later on -- they almost went broke.

You know dad I wasn't raised and the jet -- crowd at all.

All right but he was hardly a Paul Perez you were.

As you were growing up -- -- indicated it was real wealth of course I guess you were in your twenties time.

Yes but that you know end and dead we were -- we were taught to work -- we are -- the value of the dollar.

I work every summer for my my data or somebody from from fifth grade on and so it people like to think that I've never done anything in my life and and and it's just.

Archer now I read your background and your biography it's very impressive because islands -- the -- and that experience on forward I've been of those workers who profess they say.

You know you certainly don't act like a silver spoon -- that's of -- blood that it was my hat's off to an Afghan.

But again I I do think that it's the name -- -- and I.

Sometimes I think when I look at -- that it may -- -- -- protest too much it may be working -- larger divorces over the of bother everyone knows your own man you're wrong guy.

On that -- that sun doesn't quite equal the father and you don't have to explain to me.

Well it -- -- do because you're asking me about it nailed the press asked him about how they never even talk about it cannot stop that I know you're differentiating yard crowded deal.

All right now you have governor Sanford -- there you're you do have a name but -- -- name my guess comes potentially some back.

Well -- we live in a very conservative district I'm very conservative and people fortunately or unfortunately hold your parents against you they only do that your parents having to be famous.

And so I'm not separating.

Myself from my family I'm separating my politics from my -- politics he's an optimist I'm a pragmatist.

He sees the world in a different view he thinks we should all.

World peace and global climate change and I'll discuss stuff and you know what I just seeing it from a different level I've spent time in the -- in spent time and Afghanistan.

I know the threats that we face and and it's scary out there and you know he's not worried about whether he's gonna make his mortgage payment next month.

He's not involved at the lower level of worried about whether his job is gonna get cut -- a part time because of obamacare.

You know so it's a different level completely -- against him I love him he's a great guy is one of the world's greatest geniuses.

But his politics in -- just different but if people hold that against me and it's not fair.

Bottom line tea parties having a tough time conservative Republicans are -- -- -- tough time Republicans in general having a tough time.

The Republican nominee in your state for this post is a general lock on this not necessarily but usually.

Any record -- of Republicans in general how to get their -- about.

Well and you are talking about on the last segment it's very important that we reach out a minority groups it's important we reach out -- everybody.

The left is done such a great job of.

Pending us in the corner.

Because they don't listen to what we're saying then they take a short statement.

And they make it an issue if you don't like gay marriage or or assault weapon bans or or they you know anything's and dominates.

-- as they wanted to read about it's.

And and as a teacher that was my job that was my job to work with students of all.

Backgrounds and try to get them to realize especially in economics at there's a whole world out there that people are not telling the truth about this politicians can't tell you the truth.

They're worried about getting elected.

Ten -- very impressive god I wish you well thank you very very much investors him.

Citi turn thank you very much I appreciate -- running thank -- South Carolina congressional seat to do not dismiss and do not just listen meanwhile.
