S.E. Cupp (SE) : What’s the worst thing you’ve eaten on the campaign trail?
Sean Bielat (SB): A salty Turkish yogurt drink.
SE: You’re put in charge of national unemployment. What do you do?
SB: Immediate reduction in income tax withholding and immediate reduction in corporate tax withholding. Issue a holiday on new business regulations so employers have a horizon in which to make investments in a stable business environment.
SE: What’s your favorite work of fiction, and why?
SB: “The Master and Commander” series, all 21 books…because boats and battles are cool. And because they are historically accurate, you learn a lot and the characters are terrific.
SE: You can sing any karaoke song and kill it. Which one do you pick?
SB: “Sweet Home Alabama” (no Alabama is not my home…it’s just a great tune)
SE: Politicians are much maligned in America right now. If you want some love, why not go into the NFL or hip hop?
SB: The rising price of gold makes acquiring enough bling to do hip hop too expensive, and I lost interest in the NFL once they started cracking down on end-zone celebrations.
SE: Who would you want to play you in a movie?
SB: David Hasselhoff (kidding).
SE: Your house is going up in flames and you can save one (non-living) thing. What is it?
SB: Wedding album…and my Marine Corps First Commission to Second Lieutenant. That’s two, but they’re close to each other on the shelf.
SE: If you can make one promise to voters, what would it be?
SB: Not to make a career out of this.
