November. Last month, kane resigned. The case seemed to steal the thunder from the current a. G. Race. The candidates for Pennsylvania Attorney general are republican John Rafferty and democrat josh shapiro. Rafferty is the current fourterm state senator in pennsylvania. He represents parts ofberg burk chester and Montgomery County. Senator rafferty was our guest last week on issue. His campaign is focusing on experience as a form attorney general. People are making sure the right person in there. We cant have someone with less experience than Kathleen Kane. Joining me now is the democratic nominee for Pennsylvania Attorney general, josh shapiro. Hes a Montgomery County commissioner and former member of the pennsylvania house. Thanks for being with us. Great to be back with you. Last week john referty w ttt transferty was on nbc 10 issue. He believes the republican vote is going to be stronger in the state than the pundits are predicting. Are you concerned at all that pennsylvania may swing red instead of blue . Not at all. But im focused on being the peoples attorney general and getting that message out across the commonwealth in pennsylvania. Talking about how ill protect peoples rights and use my executive experience to clean up the mess in the technologicals office. Talking about my plan to restore integrity. Im not focused on being a political pundit. Im focussed on gepting my message out to the people of pennsylvania, telling them where i stand, what ill do to fight for them. Pennsylvanians dont want people to talk about politics all the time, they want people to talk about solutions and they want people with a record of getting things done fighting for them as their next attorney general. Youve touched on cleaning up who the attorney generals office. Theres a lot of public attention and i imagine there has to be low morale. What will you do to make things better . Two points. First, i took over Montgomery County as the first democrat to lead Montgomery County in 150 years. We faced the morale issue, we faced all kinds of challenges. By every objective standard we have turned Montgomery County around. I think it requires strong leadership and an action plan and it needs a commitment to integrity. Thats why on day one ill ask everyone in that office from the lawyers on down to the executive assistants to sign a code of conduct to go through mandatory ethics trainings, well ban gifts for everyone in the office, including the attorney general. Well make sure we have a special commission focused on just looking at the operations of the attorney general to make sure that it is functioning effectively and ethically. You know, many i wife about i have four little kids and she has a saying in the house speed of the leader, speed of the group. So im playing wild with my kids, theyre going to play wild, too. If im acting serious, theyll act serious. And what that office needs now is executive leadership and know how and someone who will set the proper tone for that office and i know how to do it and thats exactly what i will do. Youve been touting your executive leadership and experience as a Montgomery County commissioner. Your opponent has pointed out the fact youve never been a prosecutor. How do you respond to that . I think he doesnt understand what the job is and i have a unique background to lead this office. Im the only candidate running with executive experience. Im the only candidate running with a report cord of integrity ethics. Im the only candidate running that has a plan. I want to be the peoples attorney general. Ive talked about how well combat the heroin epidemic, how well finally protect families who are paying 700 more for epipep ep epipens to care for their kids who have serious allergy. How well hold frackers and pore polluters accountable when they pollute our drinking water. I have a specific plan on how ill be the peoples attorney general and i have executive experience and know how to get it done by. Opponent has been an inside harrisburg politician for years. Hes been a captive of the special interest and has no record of accomplishment in these areas and im someone who has stood up time and time again to take on the gun lobby, be able to make our streets safer, to protect a womans right to choose, to stand up and protect the rights of our lgbtq brothers and sisters in pennsylvania. My opponents record is diametrically opponents s oppo. There are clear differences. You touched on the heroine epidemic. Its something you and your opponent have focused on in terms of an issue that you you want to tackle as attorney general. What are you prepared to do . Well, we both talked about it. Ive done something on it. In Montgomery County, as the leader of the county three years ago we saw this as an emerging threat and created a specific Task Force Made up of Human Services as well as Law Enforcement to deal with it and its working. One thing we have to recognize to combat this is you cant arrest your way out of this crisis. Someone who is nonviolent and a drug addict needs treatment not incarceration. My plan is very complex. Well work with our medical community to get them to reduce the overprescribing of opioids. Mandate they participate in a database so folks cant doctor shop. Have drop boxes where people can get rid of the unused medicine in their cabinet, 20 of which are opioids. Arm our First Responders with narcan and make sure we are tough with attorneys general of other states to stem the flow of heroin into pennsylvanias borders. I know we can do it. Weve seen success in Montgomery County and i want to do it at the state level. You talk about treatment being a part of this. Where do the Insurance Companies come into play . The Insurance Companies cant price gouge our First Responders when it comes to getting narcan, the antidote to a heroin overdose. At the same time, they have a responsibility like the pharmaceutical companies do to stop overprescribing and stop creating incentives toor prescribe opioids. We have to be more serious about that. The heroin Opioid Epidemic claiming more lives in pennsylvania than anything else. It used to be car accidents, now heroin and opioids are. Recent poll had 43 of people in pennsylvania know someone whos addicted to heroin or died from an overdose. This is affecting everywhere. All across the commonwealth where i travel. We have got to be far more serious about understanding theres a Law Enforcement component but theres a social Services Component and as attorney general ill bring both to the table to tackle this crisis. It was just released that you and your campaign have raised more money running for this office than any other candidate who has run for attorney general, for state attorney general. Although we havent seen a lot of campaign ads on television. Certainly weve seen plenty of trump clinton adds, mcgin mcginty too maniy toomey adds. We have a great plan. We know how to execute that. We came through a contested primary in order to get through this point so were comfort in the direction this campaign is going in, very comfort in how well execute our plan over the next 40 days. Weve heard you talk about National Candidates take on National Candidates like donald trump, talk about national issues. Some of your critics seem to think that this may be a way to draw attention nationally to you and to your race. Last week when John Rafferty was here he said that while he is in office if elected state attorney general he would not pursue a run for a higher office. To me, a. G. Stands for attorney general. It doesnt stand for aspiring governor. I have pledgedly serve four years and if reelected i will serve four years. Its important for the people of the commonwealth to know you have to make the right decisions for the right rjs. Can you say the same thing . Of course. What i wont do a take a silly pledge hes put out there. The only pledge ill take is the people of pennsylvania, to be the peoples attorney general, to deal with scams against senior, to deal with the heroin epidemic, to deal with getting illegal guns off our street. Thats what people care about. But of course im going to ask the people of pennsylvania to be their attorney general i have every intention of serving out this term and god willing ill be a successful attorney general for them. People want their leaders to focus on them and focus on the things that they need to make their community safer. Thats what ive done throughout this whole campaign and thats what ill do as attorney general, not the silly political gimmicks my opponent is known for. Part of your campaign you have focused on John Raffertys support of donald trump. If the republican vote is high in pennsylvania it still is a swing state could that backfire . I this i the fact that he has embraced donald trump and his xenophobic views, his homophobic views, many of the things he has said in this campaign which have been unbelievably not only controversial but incredibly insensitive, the fact my opponent has thought to wrap himself around donald trump shows just how far out of step he is with the voters in pennsylvania, particularly in this region. Certainly as we mentioned during the beginning of our conversation is the Kathleen Kane scandal, obviously dominated headlines over the summer. In some ways seemingly eclipse part of this race at least for the front end of it, how do you bring the focus back to the issues and bring it back to your message . Ive been talking about being the peoples attorney general throughout the entire campaign. Obviously the issues that you discuss are central to her and have nothing to do with me. They want to know in their next attorney general what theyre going do to make their communities safer. What theyll do to tackle the heroin epidemic, protect them from scams, to restore integrity to the office. Theyre more interested in my plans for doing that than any sideshows. Josh shapiro, candidate for Pennsylvania Attorney general, thank you for being with us. That you can, rosemary.

If you said yes, you could be dead wrong. Research from the Childrens Hospital of philadelphia finds a whopping 73 of kids under the age of 10 know where their parents keep their guns and nearly 40 admit to handling them when their parents arent around. The Research Finds there is a simple way to lower the risks of your kids accidentally firing the guns in the house by more than 30 . Were talking about child proof safety lox. Joining me now are City Council President daryl clark and sheriff joel williams. Thank you for being here. Lets talk about the problems. Talk about the zoep of this. Well, over the last several years in terms of recording of actual incidents, upwards of 300 children, siblings or other individuals have been shot and murdered as a result of gunshots, people getting access to weapons and unfortunately discharging them by accident. They should not have had those guns so we in city Council Working with the administration put together legislation that would create these child safety provision bills that require that you have the gun in a lock box. You have a gun in a location where its not accessible to children under 18 and we actually put in that earlier provision of requiring gun locks for all weapons in a household where a child is under 18. The Law Department through their infinite wisdom said the bill might be less defensible because we anticipate the National Rifle association will obviously challenge our ability to enact their own gun laws, asked us to take that out. As a result of that, we worked with sheriff williams and another of other advocates and we came up with a what we believe has proven to be an extremely Successful Program called the gun lock program. Right. And as Council President clarke just mentioned, sheriff, thats where you come in on this. Youre trying to get gun locks in the hands of all Philadelphia Gun owners. Yes, we want anyone or anyone who knows someone who has a weapon or a gun that they should lock it up. If youve got a gun, get a look. Thats whats important to make people safe and the public safe. To be clear, Council President clarke, in terms of the bill its not required to have a gun lock. What is required is that people need to store their weapons that their kids cant get to them. But in the sort so meantime you guys are hoping people will take advantage of this free gun lock program. Yeah, i mean, the bill is law signed by the mayor so right now theres a 300 penalty if its found that you have a weapon in the household with a child under 18 years of age. The gun lock provision, as i said earlier, is something that were strongly recommending, that the sheriff has done, his team has gone out and some of the advocates have gone out, and im telling you the response has been overwhelming. It tells you two things, one, you have a lot of responsible people because theyre seeking the opportunity to get a lock, the other thing that tells you is that there are a lot of people with weapons in the household. Two points to that. One in terms of come bliens the law itself and also with the extension or this added bonus of being able to pick up these gun locks, do you think people are will do it . Absolutely. The sheriff has actually sent his team out to a number of events. We had one two weeks ago up in the community that im from, strawberry mansion, and they set the table up and people were coming and getting the gun locks, asking how you use them. This team has been out giving people an understanding that its relatively easy. Im excited about this, the opportunity to make sure that these gun remain safe in these environments. Sheriff, something that the Council President just pointed to and spoke about was the fact that what youre finding in some of these events is that there are a lot of guns in households. Well, we have a lot of people, particularly people are sending their children out for an overnight or play date for children that the question now is do you have any weapons in your house . Sure. And if you do have weapons there have been parents who came and got several gun locks and theyll take the lock and give it to the person watching their child overnight. And say if you have a gun, lock those guns up. And were getting a response, the councilman said everywhere were going people are asking how they can use the gun lock, how can they get them and what is the best way to keep your weapon safe and one of the other points that was made is separating the ammunition from the gun. And that will lower the amount of suicides and road rage. If a person has to spend time getting the gun lock off, maybe we save someones life on both ways. In terms of people showing up to these events, do they have to provide proof the gun is legal or can they just come up and take the material that they need . We dont care if its legal or illegal. We dont care. We want to make those guns safe and if we can get that gun to get safe then were protecting people. And it was actually a conversation that w some people early on, well, somebody might take it and sell it. I said well, theyre only going to sell it to somebody thats going to use it to lock up a gun, im okay with that. Theres a specific purpose for these gun locks and we answer patriot people will use them for that purpose. In terms of the law itself, it doesnt require people to have the gun locks, we want people to get the gun locks but they have to store them. What happens if people dont comply with that . Theres currently a 300 penalty in the code and unfortunately on a number of occasions in the city of philadelphia it resulted in murders. And its extremely unfortunate, these children, as statistics show, they figure out a way to find where they are. And this notion is that if i have a lock on it i wont get to the gun in time if someone breaks in my house. The numbers dont show that. An overwhelming number of burglaries are when youre not home. So if you have to leave the household when your children is there, put a gun lock on it, it wont be a big issue with respect to you being able to access your weapon. Youll figure out how to get that weapon but the statistics show thats not the case. And in terms of compliance you unfortunately dont find out about it until there is an accident. That may not necessarily be the case but for whatever reason theres a situation where a Law Enforcement officer happens to be in the household, sees that theres weapons its not locked and that person can be fine. But were hoping and we are seeing in large numbers that people are responsible and at the end of the day if provided that opportunity to get the gun lock, theyre taking that. Philadelphia City Council PresidentDarrell Clarke and jewell williams, we appreciate.

Are drivers wasting their money on premium fuel . A new study by aaa finds yes, many are. The agency says thats because far too many drivers pump premium into their cars when less expensive regular gas is all they need. The study finds no difference in horse pow, fuel economy and emissions when premium grade gas is used in car december signed to run on regular fuel. Dana tidwell of aaa says using the right fuel for your car could save big money. Yes, aaa found that motorists are fuelling with premium fuel. They see the premium name and think that means better quality however it just mean asahier octane and most cars on the road today, 70 of the cars on the road today require unleaded regular gasoline so most rays have wasted over 2 billion by splurging on premium fuel unnecessarily. Aaa is urging motorists to consult their Vehicle Owners manual in terms of which grade of fuel their vehicle needs to run and not to waste money unnecessarily if your vehicle requires simply regular unleaded fuel. It costs about 23 more to fuel up with premium rather than regular. The nationwide average is about 50 cents more per gallon. Remember, premium gas higher octane, not Higher Quality so check your owners manual. 70 of the cars driven in the u. S. Are designed for regular fuel, that includes every car listed on cars. Com list of the cars sold last month. If your car is designed to run on premium like turbo charged or supercharged engines experts recommend you use the higher octane fuel. Aaas research did not look at the effects of regular fuel on premiumdesigned engines. Well take a quick break and be right back. Im really good at war. I love war in a certain way.
