now it's time for the anchorman podcast with mad gates and pearson sharp welcome back to another

episode of the anchorman podcast this is what i always dreamed of my buddies at at One America News hanging out, bringing you guys into

the conversations we're having about everything going on in the headlines in culture. And I'm joined,

as always, by my co-host, Pearson Sharp, the man who was never satisfied. And David Pollack,

the new star here at OAN, David Pollock, Primetime, airs at 7 o'clock Eastern 4 o'clock Pacific and David I am so excited

about your arrival here another Florida man another lawyer and a guy who has worked on a lot of

campaigns at a lot of levels and you're going to be able to bring the insight from from activism to

the courtroom to the halls of congress the kickoff to our

primetime lineup at seven o'clock i'm already dialed in i was dialed in when you were

guest hosting a number of shows here but i guess just a little bit for our podcast audience you know

what got you involved in politics uh what you know you were telling me off camera about some even city council elections,

where you were throwing elbows and heading around, and then I cannot wait for us to educate Pearson on what a grassroots Florida campaign actually looks like.

There are things you've never even heard of that are central to the background of this.

But first, David, kind of your entree into politics.

Well, you know, I didn't know I was going to get into politics.

I always got involved in my community no matter where I lived, whether it was like code enforcement boards or, you know, at my kids' schools, the education board, whatever I can do to stay involved, because I learned early on that if I didn't step up to do something, somebody else would. And inevitably, I'd be annoyed because they wouldn't do as good of a job as I would have done. So, anyway. So you come with the humility of a politician. Of course. Exactly. You're on the code enforcement board? Yeah.

Oh my God. I imagine. I just assumed you had to be like a 70 year old librarian to be on the code enforcement board.

I even joined the-old librarians. I even joined the library board once. That was talk about,

how many decades did you bring down the average age on the library board? Wouldn't you join it? I didn't last long. It was too boring for me. I mean, I, you know... Oh, wasn't that surprising. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't last too long on it. But these code enforcement board in Safety Harbor... Dewey decimal. It was... Yeah. It was, you know, I met the mayor when I did a bar and I'm like, hey, I want to get involved in the city because this is how I am. And this was a long, long time ago. And what city? This was Safety Harbor, Florida, near Tampa, a beautiful city. And I met the mayor, and I'm like, hey, I want to get involved. He's like, join our code enforcement board. Go, cool. And then, yeah, they hated me. Wait a second. Your mayor sounds awesome in this story because he's picking up people to enforce code at a bar.

Yes. and then yeah they hated me wait a second your mayor sounds awesome in this story because he's picking up

people to enforce code at a bar yes which would only happen in a florida community yeah no it was great

we were at some great bar you know anyway we hit it off but um they hated me on the code enforcing
