52. Guest- Cara Feeney- Registered Independent-Hurricane Blackout, Tacos, AOC lightning rod, and COVID leadership

The Chris Ham podcast

I start discussing losing power due to Hurricane Isais, the inconvinient effects, and have some critical words about ConEd and Optimum as utility providers.(0:00-7:20)

My 2nd cousin Cara, an Irish/Italian American millenial joins the pod to discuss her political views as an Independent!

We start sharing how we are related, Cara's career, cooking hobby, tacos, then her upbringing-values instilled/lessons taught including respect, and treating others the way you want to be treated rooted in Catholic school education. Also- millennials played outside! (7:24-25:26)

We segue to politics- Cara talks about when she noticed, 9/11, why/when she registered as an Indpendent, how I enjoy dialogue most with Indpendents/Moderates as opposed to Republicans or even Democrats. Most of the people you CHOOSE to spend time with are contained to a political spectrum range BUT not your family always. (25:26-38:30)

Cara gives her thoughts on Donald Trump, Obama/McCain 2008 and shifting sentiment on McCain, Hillary Clinton. We then talk about why AOC is such a lightning rod and is any part of her criticsm valid?(38:30-50:50)

Cara then shares her own personal family account with COVID, talks about the appreciation of Andrew Cuomo, and emphasizes the importance of mask wearing. We then talk about Black LIves Matter, Blue Lives Matter, and All LIves Matter.(50:50-1:04:04)

I ask her the biggest thing about the Democratic Party and the Republican Party that bother her most- it's a similar answer!(1:04:05-1:07:33)

We end sharing a couple funny family stories around embarrassing movies.(1:07:03-1:15:03)

Takes of All Temperatures(T.O.A.Ts)- Kamala Harris; Cyclists; Dems are wealthy too; I like outdoor cigarette smoke(1:15:53- 1:26:37)
