Wes Moore

Governor Moore, it's a pleasure talking with you.

Thank you very much.

It's a pleasure to be with you.

Thank you.

I enjoyed that.

Thank you.

Me too.

Me too.

Wow.

That was great.

oh, I can give you a laundry list.

No, I mean, honestly, for example, and again, we're still early, and everyone might not agree with me on this, but for example, pardons.

I would take the pardon power away from the president and every single governor.

And this is actually really hard for me because, so last year, I did the largest mass pardon

in the history of the United States of America, where I pardoned over 175,000 misdemeanor cannabis convictions in the stroke of a pen, because I think it is absurd that we can have a legal cannabis market inside of the state of Maryland, but I also still have people who, and so we have a new billion dollar market in Maryland, and I still have people who can't get a barber's license, or can't get a student loan, or can't get a home loan for a misdemeanor cannabis conviction from the 1990s, right?

I'm really proud of how I've used the pardon power.

And I see how the president of the United States on day one, he pardoned people who attempted a coup on January 6th.

He's pardoning people that are now turning around and investing in his kids' business.

It is disgusting.

And it's a grift.
