It was the heart shape herb. But I 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.120 had to pray to the answers to turn around and 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.560 bow three times. I just took one of everything. I 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:28.399 took one of everything, and. 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.479 That was specifically not what she was told to do. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.400 Two tablespoods and apple sider vinegar is not one of everything. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:34.800 But I digress, Angela. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.720 I'm telling you everything that was in that bag. I 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.760 was taking one and I'm like, this is bingo ail. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:39.400 Do I drink it? 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:40.039 Do I put on my. 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:42.199 Record? 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:44.000 I like it. 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:50.280 And stuff It's good juices and berries, juices and berries. 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:51.480 Uh. 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.640 Anyway, guys, I will tell you one thing I really 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.320 hate about the echo chamber is I never see us reflected. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.440 So I really love convening with you guys every week 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.320 where we have conversation that we really have all week 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.320 and now it's just like you guys get the eavesdrop 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.160 on the conversation and we love that you're a part 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.640 of it too. So I want to break down what 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.840 we're going to get into. We had a big primary 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.560 in a battleground state, Michigan, so we're going to talk 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.000 about that what happened there with that protest vote. No 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.679 big surprises in the winners, but that nuanced protests vote 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:22.919 is certainly something to talk about. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.520 And we have a big week coming. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.200 Up because we're looking ahead to Super Tuesday that's coming 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.320 up Tuesday, March fifth, and the President will deliver his 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.680 State of the Union address on March seventh. So we 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.440 asked you guys to weigh in with what you wanted 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.119 to hear him talk about, and boy did you ever. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.720 So we have some of your comments. We're going to 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:39.400 be talking about that. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:46.040 We also want to get into how the DEI issues 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.600 remain under attack. There are so many attacks on these 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.480 issues across the country and they continue. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:57.920 And speaking of things being under attacked, our pockets are 0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:58.520 under attack. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.720 We're going to get into this win these surge pricing 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.519 on this episode. So we got a lot to get into. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.680 So let's kick it off and in the words of 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:14.200 old school Jane and Jackson, give me a beat. In 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.320 some other news, fresh off Capitol Hill, Mitch McConnell, Senator, 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:22.480 Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, I'm sorry, Senate 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.600 Minority leader. He is the minority they have. The Republicans 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.840 are on the Senate, on the Senate in the upper chamber. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.639 He is stepping down now. He's not stepping down from 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:36.400 his Senate seat despite experiencing several medical incidents that we've 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.160 all bought witness to, but he is stepping down from 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.680 his position in leadership. Interesting facts about Mitch McConnell. His 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.680 he made some remarks I think what last year, maybe, Angelie, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.040 you remember when he talked about black people voting just 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:58.000 as much as Americans voting as though they're separate. Another 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:03.400 interesting facts about Mitch McConnell. His family actually enslaved black people, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.080 which is part of how he got to his leadership position. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.680 So thoughts and prayers to. 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.160 Him, Tiffany Man, I add one more interesting fact. Yes, Sir, 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.920 Mitch McConnell also pulled off the greatest theft in history 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.440 by taking and stealing a Supreme Court justice seat during 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.840 Barack Obama's term as president. And they got away when 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.800 it's Scott free. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.200 So let's get into the big news this week, and 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:34.160 that is the Michigan primary. No big surprises there, right, 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.200 I mean, you guys have heard us talk about the 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.760 protest vote that was introduced Congresswoman racheated to leave, encouraging 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.360 people to do a protest vote. Well, a lot of 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.960 people listen because as of right now, one hundred over 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:51.080 one hundred thousand people according to the latest reporting, voted uncommitted. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.000 So before we get into the discussion, I want to 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.160 let you guys hear what Congresswoman Rasheated to Leave had 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.200 to say when she was leaving the voting vote. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.520 Take a listen, and we'll talk about it. On the 0:04:59.560 --> 0:04:59.920 other side. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.760 Everyone, it's Rashida. I was proud today to walk in 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.440 and pull a democratic ballot and vote uncommitted. We must 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.960 protect our democracy. We must make sure that our government 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.560 is about us, about the people. When seventy four percent 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.120 of Democrats and Michigan support a cease fire, yet President 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.680 Biden is not hearing us, this is the way we 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.480 can use our democracy to say listen. Listen to Michigan, 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.960 Listen to the families right now that have been directly impacted. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.080 But also listen to the majority of Americans who are 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.520 saying enough, no more wars, no more using our dollars 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.960 to fund a genocide, no more. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.640 All right, So that's Congressman Rashida to leave talking about 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.000 voting uncommitted Angela Andrew, What do you guys make of that? 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.480 Yeah? You know. The thing that I have to say 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:57.240 here is I just have some frustration to express. I 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:02.280 am so frustrated with the last of empathy, particularly from 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.159 people on social media. I can't tell you if I 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:10.080 was the sole Palestinian representative in Congress, what I would 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.039 want people to do to make their voices heard. I 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.200 want to remind folks that this is a primary election. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.480 It is the perfect time to make your voices heard. 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.040 However you choose to do that, whether it is I'm 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.200 a vote for you, but here are my demands, I'm 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.640 a vote for you, but here's my agenda, or I'm 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.000 saying I'm uncommitted right now and I'm going to make 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.039 sure that I put all the pressure I have the 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.359 ability to apply to you until we get to the 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.560 convention in Chicago. I think that she had to do 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.599 what she had to do. I understand it. I don't 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.080 love it. It scares me, particularly when I look at 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.839 the results from Biden versus Donald Trump, where you see 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.720 Joe Biden at six hundred and eighteen thousand plus votes 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.000 and you see Donald Trump at seven hundred and fifty 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.640 six thousand plus votes. If the election were held today, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.719 that would have meant that Donald Trump would have beat 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:01.640 Joe Biden and Michigan. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.080 And that is a battleground state. It's a state that's needed. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.960 The one thing that we know we can't afford to 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.720 do in this country is right off any particular state, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.040 Like everybody needs to vote. Every single state, every battleground 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.600 needs to be blue in order for democracy to be preserved. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.119 That is where we are. So there's a lot at stake. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.600 But I'm not gonna say, how dare she do this? 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.000 Like she doesn't. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.800 She's she is fully human, fully Palestinian, and walking a 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.200 very lonely road, and I don't know what that's like. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.960 So you know, I kudos to everyone who won turned 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.280 out because that's the most important thing. What is not 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.160 a protest vote is you sit in your ass on 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.320 a couch. That's not a protest vote. That's letting somebody 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.920 else vote for you. And so I think that the 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.040 best thing that we could hope for in a democracy, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.160 in a two party system that frankly hasn't served the 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:49.760 least among us very well. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.360 I support them being active. Nonetheless, agreed, agreed. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.960 Now now, Andrew, you know, Michigan is home to a 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.040 very large Arab American population. We have all seen the 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.400 carnage out of Gaza. It is hard to look at 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.600 and it is not just an issue for Arab Americans. 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.240 A lot of people are looking at what's happening over there. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:09.240 I'm very unhappy about it. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:10.880 What do you mean, Yeah, I mean I think you're right, 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.040 and both of you are right, Angela. I'm not sure 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.800 what the sentiment has been on social media. I think 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.840 it's probably pretty well known. Now. I don't read social 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.800 media comments anymore, but I got to tell you, the 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.480 exercise of a demonstration vote could not have been better 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.280 place than in a primary election. Let's just be clear 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.559 about this, because if we were at November, which thankfully 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.040 is nine months away, and we were dealing with this 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.800 kind of a protest vote, we'd beat up up the 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.760 creek without a pedal. Hillary Clinton lost the state of 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:54.400 Michigan by somewhat eleven thousand votes to Donald Trump eleven thousand. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:09:00.680 Joe Biden in the rematch. Obviously in last year, oh sorry, 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.319 last election cycle won the state by a little over 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.840 one hundred thousand votes, so we're anywhere between eleven thousand 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.960 and one hundred thousand votes, making the difference between who 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.679 gets the electoral votes out of Michigan and what that 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.600 also means, by further extension, who wins the presidency of 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.600 the United States of America. That's what it comes down to. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.800 And so I saw interviews on television many of those 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.000 voters who came out and said, I voted protests because 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.200 I want to send the White House a message that 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.040 I don't like how the President is handling this war 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.160 in the Middle East. And they said, but I want 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.200 to I want to vote for Joe Biden. I want 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.360 to be convinced to be able to vote for Joe 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.760 Biden come the November election. So I think a good 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.240 number of these people will come home, But I don't 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.920 believe they're coming home unless they see something different by 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:52.439 way of how this administration is effectuating policy there. And 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.240 it should be a warning sign to the White House. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.559 But I will tell you who else out of adopted 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:01.840 a warning sign. Donald Trump. He lost three hundred thousand 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.960 votes to NICKI Haley. Practically you can't win, to say 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.880 to Michigan losing that many Republican voters and so I 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.760 don't know how many of them say I'll vote for 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.600 her now and then I'll switch and vote for him later. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.880 But my guess is a number of those people are 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.680 probably not Trumpers, or never Trumpers are now never Trumpers, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.440 and so that that ought have sent a oney sign 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:22.800 to the Republicans as well. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.079 Well, I'm glad you brought up Nicki Haley because she 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.959 actually said that she is not getting out the race. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.960 Let's wait, I just have one quick thing, quick thing. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.880 I'm sorry, it's going to be super quick. The only 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.880 other thing I wanted to flag for everyone is in 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.760 twenty twelve, when Barack Obama was in the race, there 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:45.520 was a primary where eleven percent of Michiganders voted uncommitted 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:50.559 as well. It wasn't a protest for twenty it was, 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.200 but it was it was eleven percent of the turnout, 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:54.880 and so I just want to make sure that folks 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.680 also know that as well. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:57.480 That was all I love. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.760 All right, So, nick I'm glad you brought up Nicki 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.000 Haley because she says she's not getting out the race. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.040 So let's take a listen to what she told CNN's 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:06.200 Dan of Ash this week. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.640 We've only seen a handful of states vote. I mean, look, 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.960 I've said this before. As much as the media wants 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.480 to jump ahead, we're taking this one state, one day 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:16.040 at a time. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:17.600 That's what this is about. 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.839 You know, if I got out when y'all were talking 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.520 about it earlier in New Hamphire, South Carolina, whatever, it 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.079 would be the longest general election race in presidential history. Still, 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.920 if I got out today, it'd be the longest general 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.400 election race in history. America is blessed to be a democracy. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.880 Let people vote now. In the next week, we're gonna 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.520 watch twenty states and territories vote. Let's let that happen. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:41.640 That's true. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.920 Yeah, so yeah, that is the whole point of a contest. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.720 Angela has been doing an excellent job posting these news updates. 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.040 You guys, be sure to follow Native Land Pod on 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.560 Instagram because you can keep track of what's happening. 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:55.720 Just so folks know. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:00.640 Super Tuesday, Tuesday, March fifth, the state's voting Alabama, Alaska, 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:06.400 that's GOP only in Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.320 North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah or Mount Virginia, and 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.520 the US territory of American Samoa. Angela, What do you 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.920 I mean, does Nicky have a path to the White House. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.000 I'm sorry, Nimroda, but I know you don't like when 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.360 I call her that. But do you think she has 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:21.600 a path to the WHI Well. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.480 First, I just want to add that there have been 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.480 a great number of people who are supporting us on 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.040 the news clips online, and I want to shout out 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.000 camera and Lolo. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.319 Lolo's going above and beyond these days. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.760 She's like, research has to be in the news clips too, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.240 So shout out to them. Nicky Hayley does not have 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.000 a path unless there's some magic math that's going to 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.040 happen at some point. She is picking up delegates along 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.960 the way. I think right now at twenty two delegates 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.840 in counting, but we probably won't count that manymore. I 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.400 am suggesting that even though she says she's going to 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.200 stay in the race, I don't think she'll stay in 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.839 much longer than Super Tuesday, which is the same thing 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.200 we said last week. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.720 Well, what is the point of her staying? Like, what 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.240 do you think about it? Andrew? 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:04.640 With her? 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.360 Like, is her presence making a difference? 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.319 I think that, first of all for the Democrats. I 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.440 absolutely think that it's making a difference. Why because we're 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.400 going to be able to clip every one of these 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:18.000 comments and put them in commercials and ads, radio, television, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.080 and otherwise during the general election and target that very 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.800 specifically to independent voters, undecided voters who are trying to 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:30.400 make a decision between Donald Trump and the President Joe Biden. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.920 And to have the how do you say, the co 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.520 sign of a triedent for Republican who represents a lot 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.080 of stuff I don't believe in, has set a lot 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:44.800 of stuff I detest. But to have a Republican saying 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.800 what she is saying in truth about Donald Trump, we'll 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.560 add a lot of fodder for the campaign as we 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.800 get closer to election day. But I will tell you 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.040 just say, I think there are two advantages that here 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:59.240 staying in one, I think she's probably preparing herself for 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.240 the next round of this twenty twenty eight coming out 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.080 of this election, basically saying, once all the trials are 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.600 all done, once you know, hopefully Donald Trump is in 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.640 nick cuffs and prison ate you know, in prison, she'll say, hey, 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.160 I'm your girl. I stood up when all the men 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.000 dropped out when everybody else didn't have the courage to 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.600 take it toe to toe with Donald Trump. I did it, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.960 and I deserve to be the nominee this time. That's 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.440 one reason too. I think she's potentially waiting for one 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.480 of these trials to straight up in this man's political career. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.640 I don't know if that will happen prior to November, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.000 but I think she's probably hedging that that might be 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.840 a possibility. And if she's the last woman standing, last 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.400 person standing, she may feel that she's in good position 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.720 to win the party's support as its nominee. Should he 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.160 Should he not make it to November? 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.960 Okay, but here's my question, because a lot of people 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.400 are never Trumpers until they ain't correct what we see 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.960 a day when Nicki Haley is on stage saying, I 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.040 Nicki Haley support Donald Trump. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.360 She's served in his administration. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:14:59.840 So I think we can see that. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.880 So they will fall into guess what. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.400 Those words aren't going away, her critiques of him aren't 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.120 going away, and the accuracy of those critiques don't go away. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.440 So it doesn't diminish our ability to take her words, 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.320 put them in advertising, and let her take him down 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.520 for real, not lightweight but real. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.760 The only thing I'll say to this is, you know, 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.000 in so many instances, you hear people, I think, particularly 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.440 young people these days, who are like this is why 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.240 I don't like politics, because if you watch people speak 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:30.880 out of both sides of their mouth. And we don't 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.360 even have to wait for Nikki Haley to be on 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.080 the stage endorsement Donald Trump, maybe even hoping that she 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.640 becomes his VP, right to watch the double speak. She 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.000 will double speak and talk herself in circles in one interview. 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.560 We saw it on the Breakfast Club. We saw it 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.080 on State of the Union, so we. 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:47.360 See it over and over again. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.840 We see it at the town halls like she will 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.880 talk herself in circles. So these are this is the 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.600 reason she embodies why so many people, particularly young folks, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.600 don't like politics. It's frustrating to see. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:02.600 Yeah, yeah, look, I just have seen time and time 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.400 again where people have come out been highly critical of 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.040 this man and eventually they fall in line, and it 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.320 is crazy. It's like a cult. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.800 I don't doubt that, y'all. But this is why Fanian 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.480 Angela and I know we know this, but that's why 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:19.400 we can't take any voter any vote for granted, When 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.120 you can lose the presidency by the by eleven thousand 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:26.200 votes in one state, then y'all, if you need anything 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.480 else to underscore the importance the imperative to your voice 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.480 being in the process, this is it, because that's what 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.320 it's going to come down to. A few states and 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.400 a few thousand votes or maybe a few hundred votes 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.560 in between. Bush, you did become president with a four 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.520 what was it a five for Supreme Court decision, right, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.080 and a couple hundred votes in Florida in two thousand. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.240 That made the difference every time. 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:57.200 Yeah, the hanging chest. That's swinging chess. Yeah, hanging Chad, Yeah, yeah. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:58.000 Your next. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:00.840 Started on there. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:03.840 Florida, Florida. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:04.119 Man. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.520 I tell you, you brought up a really good point about 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.080 being able to lose the presidential election by just a 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.040 few thousand votes, But there are some nuance to that, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.159 and I want us to discuss that. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.080 We have a viewer question. 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.200 Thank you guys for submitting all your questions to us, 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.400 and you can keep sending those at Native land Pod 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.160 on our Instagram handle. But we have an interesting viewer 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.960 question that we want to get to. But first we're 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.520 got to take a really quick break, but don't go 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.879 anywhere because right after this we're going to talk about 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.880 Trump and black Trump supporters. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.480 Is it a real thing. We'll get to that on 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:33.640 the other side. Don't go anywhere. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.679 Okay, So we have a question from Joyce Smith from 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:43.240 the Bronx. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:44.240 Joyce, what you got? 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.119 My name is Joyce Smith Jones. I'm from the Bronx, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:47.600 New York. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:54.359 My question is why are some of our folks in 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:59.600 our community still willing to support Trump after so much 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:05.119 he can continues to be transparent about how he feels 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.000 about our community. 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:07.520 He has. 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:13.920 Always been a racist and has never supported anything, even 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.439 when he was a Democrat and he was in the 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.760 end crowd and hanging out with jay Z. He's never 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:24.360 really been someone that we should trust and get behind. 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:29.480 But yet so many of us are still willing to 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.840 support this man, and I just don't understand why when 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:38.080 he's clearly showing us that if he gets re elected again, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.600 we might as well be reporting to the nearest white person. 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.440 Okay, thank you for that bad question, Joyce. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.360 I have to just start out with right kick because 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.560 you guys and say the math eight math in here, guys, 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:55.720 there is no large enough constituency of black men supporting 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.239 Donald Trump that could swing this election either way. 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.160 When you look at the map of where black voters. 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.120 Live, it is just not I mean, if we want 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.280 to talk about people who are supporting Donald Trump, the 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:12.959 biggest number is white people. It's conservative white voters. In 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:18.320 twenty sixteen, most white blue collar voters supported Donald Trump. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.520 In Michigan. We just had a primary there. 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.680 And there although the Union people they swung their support 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.159 to Donald Trump. The UAW endorsed President Biden, but they 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:30.160 acknowledge most of their members support Donald Trump. 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:31.240 So it baffles me. 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.960 While the media is constantly pushing this storyline as though 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.040 black men could hand the presidency to Donald Trump, is 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.600 just not true and I hate that storyline. So I 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.800 take your point, Joyce, because you probably see that on 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.639 social media, you probably see it on cable news. But 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.760
