That's 111 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: where I really first got my chance with Don Nelson, 112 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: Like he said, he was coming off trouble. One of 113 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: our other brothers, Baron Davis, was very talented but injuries. 114 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 5: And didn't really know what was going on. 115 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: So it just kind of felt like the Bay put 116 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: their arms around us, like we were out in the streets, 117 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: hanging out from San Francisco to Oakland to Richmond.

You've always been secure in 178 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: your idity who you are, But what do you feel 179 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: or what do you think when you hear people kind 180 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: of questioning just the fabric of who. 181 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 6: You are, Well, one, I don't listen to it. I'm 182 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 6: really clear about who I am and if anybody else 183 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 6: is not, they need to go through their own therapy. 184 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 6: That's not my My mother was very clear she was 185 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 6: raising two black girls to be two prout, proud black women, 186 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 6: and that was never it was never a question. You know, 187 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 6: It's funny because over the years, journalists, some not most, 188 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 6: will want to talk about it, and I say, okay, 189 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 6: if you want to have this conversation, I'm prepared to 190 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 6: have it, but sit down and get comfortable for a 191 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 6: few hours. If you want to start talking about race 192 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 6: in America, you want to talk about the one eighth rule, 193 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 6: you want write, you want to talk about what it 194 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 6: means in terms of who you are perceived to be 195 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 6: and the impact that can have on the rest of 196 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 6: your life, regardless of who you actually are, in terms 197 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 6: of your god given capacity and the rights that you 198 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 6: have and should have. So you know, I don't mess 199 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 6: with that. I think that's other people trying to figure 200 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 6: some stuff out that and they need they need, They 201 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 6: got to deal with it. 202 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: You've also been attacked having biological children, but you are 203 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: a step mom and I'm a step father of I 204 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: just had my seventh little boy two weeks ago, but 205 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: I have three step children that are mine and being 206 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: a dad was natural. Being a dad to my four 207 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: sons was natural. But learning to navigate not wanting to 208 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: step on toes. How do you earn the love and 209 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: the trust? How did you earn Ella in Cole's love 210 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: and trust? And how did you get the name Mamala? 211 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 6: I'll start with this. I am a daughter of divorce parents. 212 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 6: My parents were divorce when I was five, and just 213 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 6: being very frank and handed with you, when Doug and 214 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 6: I started dating, you know, his parents have been married 215 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 6: over sixty years. I had to explain to him what 216 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 6: it is like to be a child of divorce parents, 217 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 6: and including that it was really important to me that 218 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 6: I knew what he and my relationship would be before 219 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 6: I formed a relationship with the kids, because that's just 220 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 6: it's from my perspective and experience, not fair to the children. 221 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 6: Because you know, children form attachments. So I was very 222 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 6: intentional about waiting until I knew that, okay, this is 223 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 6: a real relationship, before I got to know the kids, 224 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 6: and then we became I mean, thick as thieves. And 225 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 6: I love those children. They are my children. And you know, 226 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 6: we talk about we have a modern family. And maybe 227 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 6: the blessing that I have that not everyone has, although 228 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,599 Speaker 6: I think everyone should try and work on it, is 229 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 6: I have a very close because it is a very 230 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 6: respectful relationship with their mother. 231 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 4: It's important, you know, and so. 232 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 6: No, but it's not. But it's not. It is not, 233 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 6: and you have to work at it. But you have 234 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 6: to work at it. You'll be all right. Because here's 235 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 6: the thing. Here's the thing that we have to remember. 236 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 6: And I know we do and we feel, but we 237 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 6: have to be intentional about it because the forces and 238 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 6: the emotions will drag us from this point. The most 239 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 6: important thing is that our kids grow up healthy. And 240 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 6: you know, I think of the many things that we 241 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 6: role model, probably the thing we role model the most 242 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 6: that we don't realize is how to form healthy relationships. 243 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 6: You know, we teached our kids how to drive. We 244 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 6: will sit down and do homework with them. But one 245 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 6: of the things we are teaching them every day, and 246 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 6: we have to be intentionally. We will not be perfect, 247 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 6: we will fall short, but it's how to develop healthy 248 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 6: emotional relationships. One of the ways, especially in that dynamic 249 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 6: when you're talking about my husband's ex wife, is how 250 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 6: to be respectful. And I was very intentional about, for example, 251 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 6: knowing that the kids, as they got to know and 252 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 6: form relationship with me, would not want to feel like 253 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 6: they were somehow being disloyal to their mother. And I 254 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 6: knew that, and so I was very intentional about always 255 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 6: making sure that I was clear with them that I 256 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 6: would say things like, well, how does your mom do it? 257 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 6: Love to cook? How does your mom to show me 258 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 6: how you do it? And just and I think that's 259 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 6: really important because you know, this is the thing that 260 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 6: I think has become clear, especially as I'm now running 261 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 6: for president, and these kind of conversations are becoming more prevalent, 262 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 6: like what does it mean to be a stepparent? The 263 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 6: people who don't get it are understanding is there a 264 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 6: whole lot more of these kinds of relationships than people realize. 265 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 2: It's not the nineteen fifty blended. 266 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 6: Right it is. It is, and they're beautiful and it's 267 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 6: a beautiful way to live, to build and grow your family. 268 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 6: You know, I talk about it even in my speech 269 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 6: at the convention. I have and I grew up with 270 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 6: the family that is my family by blood and the 271 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 6: family that is my family by love and sometimes and 272 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 6: that's exactly right. That's exactly right. I think increasingly people, 273 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 6: especially younger people, understand that right that there's the family 274 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 6: you're born into it, and then there's the family you choose, 275 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 6: and it's on you to make a decision about what 276 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 6: you want and how you define your family. And you 277 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 6: have the right to do that, you know. 278 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: I tell Michael, I'm just an extra layer of support 279 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: and protection. I'm not there to replace your dad. I'm 280 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: not there to you know, I'm here to help in 281 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: any way possible. 282 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 6: And so Mamala came about because that because it's Kamala, 283 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 6: and then it just got creative with it and it's Mamla. 284 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 4: I love it. 285 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, shifting a little bit of policy talk, 286 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: and before we talk about policy, can you briefly explain 287 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: because I think sometimes there's misconceptions of the power of 288 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: the president or the power of the Vice President explain 289 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: how a bill becomes a law. 290 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 6: I believe that the best way the system works is 291 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 6: when the power is with the people to then advocate 292 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 6: for their needs and have their needs met. So that's 293 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 6: the big macro stepping back right. One of the ways 294 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 6: that the system works to do that, that the system 295 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 6: should work to do that is we have elected representation 296 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 6: who represent the people in these state legislatures, which is 297 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 6: where laws get passed, or in Congress, which is where 298 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 6: the federal laws get passed. And for the system to 299 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 6: work the right way, legislators, these members of the state legislature, 300 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 6: let's say your state senator, your state assembly member, or 301 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 6: your congressmen or your United States senator, will meet with 302 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 6: and they'll have ways of receiving information from the people 303 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 6: about what they want. I think it's really important always 304 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 6: that we know our power to organize around what we need. 305 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 6: And sometimes that'll take the form of writing letters, sometimes 306 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 6: it will take the form of mass protests to make 307 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 6: sure the voice of the people is heard by their 308 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 6: representative leaders, who then have as their responsibility to write 309 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 6: up some legislation that meets the needs of the people. 310 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 6: And then when they write that up, they take a 311 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 6: vote in their body if it's a state house or Congress, 312 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 6: and if the majority the people there agree with it, 313 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 6: it becomes a law. So that's how it's supposed to work. 314 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 6: And I mean it does connect to what we were 315 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 6: talking about earlier, which is then reminding folks they have 316 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 6: a right and a right to expect that their leaders 317 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 6: will hear them and take seriously their needs. You know, 318 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 6: a lot of why I think it's important to talk 319 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 6: about our accomplishments on things like we finally let Medicare 320 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 6: negotiate drug prices with the big pharmaceutical companies so that 321 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 6: we could cap the cost of incident thirty five dollars 322 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 6: a month. You know why that's important because forever that 323 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 6: never happened. And when we explain to people that they 324 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 6: kept advocating and kept fighting for it to happen and 325 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 6: it did happen, it reminds people don't give up, keep 326 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 6: fighting for the things you know are possible, even if 327 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 6: it's never happened before. I think it's important for people 328 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 6: to know, you know, when we like, for example, I 329 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 6: helped write the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act when 330 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 6: I was in the United States Senate, people by the 331 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 6: hundreds of thousands marched rightly, out of pain, out of knowledge, 332 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 6: out of commitment that we need to take seriously what 333 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 6: we got to do to deal with this system. And 334 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 6: so we couldn't get enough votes to pass it, but 335 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 6: we got it that far that we wrote it up 336 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 6: and we got it as far as so that under 337 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 6: our administration, the President was able to sign an executive 338 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 6: order that put a lot of what we put in 339 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 6: the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act into an executive order. 340 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 6: So at least for federal law enforcement, we're now dealing 341 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 6: with no knock warrants. We're now talking about a national 342 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 6: database for police officers who have committed misconduct. 343 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 3: To the people who say, why are we still marching 344 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, Yeah, when it's common sense what 345 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: people need, What. 346 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 6: Do you say to that, Look, my parents march for 347 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 6: civil rights back in the day. I do believe there 348 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 6: is no significant progress that we've made in our country 349 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 6: without the people often taking to the streets, going way 350 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 6: back to the Civil Rights Act, to the Voting Rights Act, 351 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 6: to you know, I mean, what's happening now in the 352 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 6: streets on choice, to what happened around George Floyd's murder 353 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 6: and moving forward an agenda that's about that. I mean, 354 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 6: you could just go through just the different levels of 355 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 6: progress that we've had. Often has taken people taking to 356 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 6: the streets, which is why, look, I support the right 357 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 6: of people to peacefully protest my opponent in this race. 358 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 6: You look up Project twenty twenty five Nasty Work. They're 359 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 6: literally talking about what they would do to arrest people 360 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 6: and deport them because they want to suppress. Part of 361 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 6: what really concerns me about this moment in time is 362 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 6: we've also defined our progress over the years, and therefore 363 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 6: our strength is being about the expansion of rights, and 364 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 6: now we're seeing a full on intent. 365 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 4: To restrict rights going backwards. 366 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 6: I strongly believe we have to always be vigilant, meaning 367 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 6: whatever gains we've made, they will not be permanent unless 368 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 6: we stay on it. You got to know, you can't 369 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 6: take any of our rights for granted, and that's why 370 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 6: we have to stay active. And that's about voting, that's 371 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 6: about being involved in community organizations. That's about having those 372 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 6: conversations when everybody gets together, whether we be at the barbershop, 373 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 6: round the kitchen table, to remind ourselves about, look, what's 374 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 6: happening and what do we need to do about it? 375 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 5: And also think too. 376 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: I mean, some of the stuff we stand and fight for, 377 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, I do it as a parent. 378 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 5: In my lifetime. 379 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: I may not see the benefits, but I have seven 380 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: kids who are going to have more kids that are 381 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: coming down the pipeline that may one day. I'm sure 382 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: when your parents fought there thinking by the time my 383 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: daughter's old enough, hopefully she won't be going through this. 384 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 6: That's exactly right. But see, they also taught me this, 385 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 6: don't fall asleep on this stuff. Don't fall asleep on it. 386 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 6: Don't sit back and get comfortable like, oh, that's done. 387 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 6: You know, there's this old saying. It's Kreta Scott King, 388 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 6: she said, and I paraphrase it all the time. The 389 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 6: fight for civil rights, which she meant, the fight for justice, 390 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 6: the fight for equality must be fought in one with 391 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 6: each generation. And I think what she meant is one, 392 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 6: understand whatever games we make will not be permanent. And two, 393 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 6: therefore you must be vigilant. You got to stay on 394 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 6: top of it. And by the way, don't complain about that. 395 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: HBCUs are such a big thing now, and it's I 396 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: feel like when things get trendy to become you know, 397 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: everyone wants to talk about it and be a part 398 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: of it. You were someone who went to an HBCU 399 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: as an athlete, I'm just like, it's a great idea 400 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: and I wish it was more cooler when I was 401 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: coming up. But at the same time, I don't think 402 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: the facilities could have held us, you know what I mean. 403 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to go to UCLA and it 404 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: was like being a professional athlete and we were speaking 405 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: to you know, some of the brightest minds come from 406 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: these HBCUs, but the conditions aren't what some of these 407 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: other schools are. 408 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 6: So the history of our HBCUs is a phenomenal history 409 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 6: which again was born out of struggle and people sitting 410 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 6: around saying we're not gonna wait for other people, right. 411 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 6: So there were a collection of people that were white 412 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 6: and black and of many different backgrounds who understood that 413 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 6: young black, bright people were not having equal access to 414 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 6: top levels of education. And so, in a nutshell, that's 415 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 6: how our HBCUs got formed. I attended Howard University, which 416 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 6: is one of the oldest, and it built up over 417 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 6: the years, with its purpose and mission being to create 418 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 6: national and international leaders, had a reputation of doing that 419 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 6: cause it did that. But over the years, we also 420 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 6: know that our students. HBCU students don't necessarily frankly, make 421 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 6: the same kind of incomes that people who go to 422 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 6: predominantly white institutions do, don't start out on the same base. 423 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 6: So even if they are, they're also taking care of 424 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 6: their parents, they're also taking care of their younger siblings 425 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 6: and don't necessarily have the extra to be able to 426 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 6: build for the school. The endowment which alumni give to 427 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 6: that ends up funding things like a first class program, 428 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 6: be it athletic or scientific or something. So a lot 429 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 6: of my work, especially in the Senate and now as 430 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 6: Vice President, has been to increase federal funding to HBCUs 431 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 6: because again I know they are centers of academic excellence. 432 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 6: They are centers of academic excellence, but don't necessarily have 433 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 6: the same kind of resources. And so far we've given 434 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 6: now under our administration, as i've been Vice president, sixteen 435 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 6: billion more dollars to o HBCUs. When I was Senator, 436 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 6: I was responsible for helping to get billions into upgrading 437 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 6: literally the physical structure because they're old. Yeah, And I 438 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 6: think increasingly, to your point, more people are understanding. It's 439 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 6: like we may be skipped an era, but we're getting 440 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 6: back to a place of more people understanding what our 441 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 6: HBCUs do and giving more support financially to them. 442 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: But we have to. 443 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 6: I mean, it's an incredible experience to walk on campus 444 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 6: and everybody looks like you, and to go to class 445 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 6: and to have a teacher who takes none of your excuses. 446 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 6: That's exactly right. It reminds you that no, you just 447 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 6: have to work harder, You just have to compete. You'll 448 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 6: be the class president if you do that. And the 449 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 6: other thing that's great about in HBCU. You could be 450 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 6: the class president at the football Star Mmm. You could 451 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 6: be in a sorority and be the head of the 452 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 6: science club like it. Also, the beauty of HBCUs is 453 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 6: every signal it sends you is telling you do not 454 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 6: confine yourself to somebody's idea of what it means for 455 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 6: you to be a young black person in America. 456 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: I want to touch on mental health. Mental health is 457 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: big in the black community, especially black men. We have 458 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 3: a lot of black men out there who's starting grassroots 459 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 3: organizations to help their communities. I'll give you example, a 460 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 3: guy named Zeke. He's the building chapters called New Era 461 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 3: in all over Detroit, the Bay Area, texts everywhere. And 462 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: then what they're doing is they're taking care of the 463 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 3: communities regardless of race. If somebody's being mistreated, if it's 464 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 3: store being mistreated, if somebody's been treated in. 465 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 4: That community, if they're going hand in hand. 466 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: Zone nineteen Keys and also you see, is it anything 467 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 3: that you're thinking about that can help these people that's 468 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: building these grass roots that actually get the stuff done. 469 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 4: On the ground. 470 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 6: Absolutely. I think, first of all, I think the mental 471 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 6: health issue is probably one of the biggest public policy 472 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 6: failures in our country. We have acted as though healthcare 473 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 6: is We've acted as though the body starts from the 474 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 6: neck down, right, instead understanding we need health care also 475 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 6: from the neck up, and it has to be done 476 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 6: in a way that gives people the dignity and the 477 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 6: respect they deserve. The most effective mental health care is 478 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 6: often because it is peer based. It is without judgment, 479 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 6: and it understands people have to be understood for you know, 480 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 6: who they are culturally, who they are in terms of 481 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 6: their life experience if you're really going to be able 482 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 6: to get into their needs. I worked with a brother 483 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 6: here in d C Kre who actually has been doing 484 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 6: a lot around modeling in particular, and I had them 485 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 6: come in a couple of years ago. Actually, we've been 486 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 6: talking about how we focus in particular on our black 487 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 6: men and our young black men, because we also have 488 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 6: to take the stigma away, and so part of that 489 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 6: is about reminding people. It's just like you know, if 490 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 6: you break your arm or you got a toothache. This 491 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 6: is about health care and helping people understand it's a 492 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 6: sign of strength to ask for help, not a sign 493 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 6: of weakness. Because when we talk about mental health care, 494 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 6: a lot of it, especially for people who have who 495 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 6: have experienced trauma, we're talking about pain, and we understand 496 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 6: physical pain, take an aspirin, whatever, but we don't deal 497 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 6: with mental and emotional pain in the same way. And 498 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 6: here's the thing. First of all, look growing up in poverty, 499 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 6: trauma inducing, growing up around you know, any form of 500 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 6: violence which crosses socioeconomic lines, by the way, so let's 501 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 6: not act as. 502 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: Though it's just right. 503 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 6: Low income people everywhere, everywhere trauma inducing. And the thing 504 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 6: about it is you know when we talk about post 505 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 6: traumatic stress disorder, right, what happens when you've been repeatedly 506 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 6: exposed to trauma. Somebody explained it to me years ago. 507 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 6: It's oversimplified, but I'm going to offer you this. So 508 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 6: imagine you're walking across a busy street every day and 509 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 6: a map truck comes barreling down. You will produce basically 510 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 6: a response without even reflection. You'll jump back. If every 511 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 6: day you're walking across the room that thing, you overproduce 512 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 6: the things so that one day you're walking across that 513 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 6: street that mac truck has come barreling down. You see it, 514 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 6: and you keep walking. And then we start talking about 515 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 6: our young people don't have emotions, numb to it, as 516 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 6: though they've chosen, as though they have chosen to not 517 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 6: have emotion, and we don't realize that a lot of 518 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 6: it is physiological. Literally, it's how the body learns to 519 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 6: protect itself. And for our youngest children, then what does 520 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 6: that mean? They start acting out in class? What happens? 521 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 6: They get kicked out of class, they're the bad kid. 522 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 6: They still start self identifying that way, and we know 523 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 6: where that leads a lot of the work I did 524 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 6: years ago when I was actually DA of San Francisco, 525 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 6: was focused on a project that it ended up developing 526 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 6: itself into what we call the San Franciscool Wellness Center, 527 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 6: which was focused on early detection of childhood trauma so 528 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 6: that we could get the diagnosis going for the treatment right, 529 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 6: because if you don't diagnose it, you can't treat it. 530 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 6: And I actually brought in mental health care professionals to 531 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 6: talk with public school teachers about it, like this is 532 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 6: what you're seeing in the classroom and help people put 533 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 6: a label on it as the first step to diagnosing 534 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 6: it and then getting the treatment. And during the time 535 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 6: i've been vice president, as part of the work we've 536 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 6: done on gun violence, we've put now millions of extra 537 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 6: dollars in public schools to put more mental health professionals 538 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 6: in our public schools. But we need to do a 539 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 6: lot more because again, it just needs to be diagnosed 540 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 6: and treated right and understanding this is not about some 541 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 6: child who is bad. It's not some who wants to 542 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 6: act out. It's not this is not this is not 543 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 6: a choice that child is and it's not a choice 544 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: this child is making. They're actually in pain, and it 545 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 6: manifests itself in ways that are antisocial potentially, but the 546 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 6: child's in pain. 547 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 4: How to get it out? 548 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 5: Defense mechanism? 549 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a question along the mental health line. 550 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: We spoke to Kobe and did his last interview, and 551 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: I asked him, you know, over his long career, was 552 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: there any negativity or hatred or disrespect towards you that 553 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: he heard and hurt? And he said, I heard it 554 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: all and he said that it all hurt. As someone 555 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: who's been the first in a lot of spaces, you've 556 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: been in, a woman of color knocking on the door 557 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: to possibly be the next president? How do you protect 558 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: your mental health and your mental space? 559 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: Well? 560 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 6: Number one rule, don't read the comments there. Nasty nasty, 561 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 6: I'm serious, don't read the comments. Just let's start there. 562 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 6: I work out every morning. I work out every morning. 563 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 6: For me, it's just mind, body and spirit. I think 564 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 6: it's really important for everybody. We all have our levels 565 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 6: of stir. Everybody does right, be intentional about who you 566 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 6: have in your life to the extent you can, and 567 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 6: in particular for our young people who may not know 568 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 6: that they have a right to be intentional about do 569 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 6: you have people in your life who applaud your success. 570 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 6: Do you have people in your life who you trust? 571 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 6: Do you have people in your life who when you 572 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 6: trip and fall, they laugh with you and then they 573 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 6: pick you up and push you back out there. There 574 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 6: are people that you know who will be those people 575 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 6: if you choose to have them. I am blessed to 576 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 6: have an incredible family and incredible friends. My best friend 577 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 6: from kindergarten is still one of my best friends, right, 578 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 6: Stacey Johnson. We used to go to the clubs and 579 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 6: her father Saville, and so I think that's part of it, right, 580 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 6: because you do need the support to deal with it, 581 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 6: and especially I mean people who are active on social media. 582 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 6: It's hard out there. It's tough, and you have to 583 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 6: find things like I love to cook. I love to cook, 584 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 6: and it's a way for me to want I think 585 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 6: it's just for me. It's a great gift I can 586 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 6: give the people I love. But it's also you know, 587 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 6: it's like I start out, I know what I'm going 588 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 6: to make, and then I'm done and I can give 589 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 6: it to people and it just gives me something to 590 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 6: do that is a productive use of time, you know. 591 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 6: And I think people you know, choose hobbies, think about 592 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 6: what it is that you like to do that takes 593 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 6: your mind off of the stresses. That is also productive. 594 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: Right, economy, small business, black business. We actually just start 595 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: our business in January, so we're you know, we've grown 596 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: from a show to a whole entire company. 597 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 5: What is your kind of your economic plan moving forward for. 598 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: People who are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling for 599 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: groceries and rent and homeowners. 600 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 6: So look, I grew up, so my sister and I 601 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 6: were raised by our mother. We lived for a long 602 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 6: time in an apartment on top of a childcare center. 603 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 6: That childcare center was actually owned by a woman who 604 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 6: lived two doors down from us, missus Shelton, who was, 605 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 6: by all of our accounts and feelings, our second mother. 606 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 6: She helped raise us, and so she was a small 607 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 6: business owner. So I'll start with the small business and 608 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 6: congratulations on what you guys done. I from a child 609 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 6: knew who our small business owners are, right. I mean, 610 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 6: you're business leaders, but you're also civic leaders. You take 611 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 6: seriously your voice and how you can mentor how you 612 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 6: can grow right communities and the sense of communities. I 613 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 6: love our small businesses, and so a lot of my 614 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 6: work in terms of building and growing the economy has 615 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 6: focused on small businesses, and my vision overall is we 616 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 6: need to build an opportunity economy in which we increase 617 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 6: opportunity for all, including small business owners. So a lot 618 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,479 Speaker 6: of my work even in the Senate was about increasing 619 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 6: access to capital through our small businesses and in particular 620 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 6: through our community banks. So I've been responsible for billions 621 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 6: of dollars more now going into our community banks because 622 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 6: they're in the community, and then they know who's in 623 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 6: the community and where the town is, and who's doing 624 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 6: good in the community, what the community wants. And so 625 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 6: part of my plan as president is to give small 626 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 6: businesses startups a tax deduction of fifty thousand dollars to 627 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 6: start up, because right now the tax deduction is five 628 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 6: thousand dollars. With that, that's exactly right. And see, the 629 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 6: thing we know is that most of our small business 630 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 6: are entrepreneurs who want to start a small business, got 631 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 6: a great idea to have incredible work ethic, but you know, 632 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 6: they weren't handed a bunch of money on a silver tray, 633 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 6: and they just need to get their foot in the door. 634 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 6: So there is that there is what I need to 635 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 6: do and what we need to do around making housing 636 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 6: and rent more affordable. Part of the problem there is 637 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 6: we have a housing supply shortage. My plan includes giving 638 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 6: tax incentives for home builders to build three million more 639 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 6: homes by the end of my first term to increase supply, 640 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 6: to bring down cost, and to increase home ownership. A 641 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 6: twenty five thousand dollars down payment assistance to first time 642 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,719 Speaker 6: home buyers, because again, people just need to get their 643 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 6: foot in the door. 644 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 5: Grind after that. 645 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 6: Right, that's exactly right, That's exactly right. And we know 646 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 6: home ownership, especially for the community, that's the fastest, most effective, 647 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 6: and most sure ways to build intergenerational wealth. It's then 648 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 6: when your child says I want to go to an 649 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 6: HBC or some other college and you say, well, honey, 650 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 6: you don't have to take out a student loan. I'm 651 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 6: going to take some equity out of the house. Or 652 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 6: your child says I want to start up a small business, 653 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 6: and you can say, let me take some equity and 654 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 6: help you. 655 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 5: First, First, what is that business. Let me make sure 656 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 5: it's not. 657 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 6: Productive. Right, you have something where it's about intergenerational wealth. 658 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 6: Because see, here's how I feel about the economy and 659 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 6: the economy I want to grow. We have for over 660 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 6: the last four years, reduced black unemployment to the lowest 661 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 6: it has been in decades. Okay, that is an accomplishment. However, 662 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 6: we I believe, need to measure our success not just 663 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 6: only about everybody's working, but can you build wealth? 664 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 4: Can you start saving? 665 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 6: Can you start saving, Can you buy a home? Can 666 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 6: you start saving to take your family on vacation from 667 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,240 Speaker 6: time to time? Can you save enough so that Christmas 668 00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 6: time for you and your children is not stressful but 669 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 6: something enjoyable. Right, And so it's about, yes, we got 670 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 6: to make sure that we that we have high employment, 671 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 6: but also that we create opportunities for people to build 672 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 6: wealth get ahead. Part of my plan is also to 673 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 6: expand the child tax credit six thousand dollars in the 674 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,439 Speaker 6: first year of your child's life. 675 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 5: Man, I could have used that one. 676 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 6: Because you know what that means. First year, that's such 677 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 6: a critical stage of a child's development, and it's expensive. 678 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,760 Speaker 6: A family's got to buy a car seat, a crib, 679 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 6: the things that the necessary. Because I start from the 680 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 6: perspective that the vast majority of parents want to raise 681 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 6: their children well, they love their children, but don't necessarily 682 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 6: have the resources they need. And if we understand that 683 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 6: the children of a community are the children of the community, 684 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 6: we'll understand that that an investment in something like the 685 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 6: first year of a child's life benefits all of us. 686 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 6: But these are things about building what I call an 687 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 6: opportunity economy, which is about helping people not just to 688 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 6: get by, but to get ahead. Because most people, look, 689 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 6: maybe you've gathered this already, Here's where I come from. 690 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 6: Most people have ambition, they have aspirations, they have dreams, 691 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 6: and they are willing to work hard. And if we 692 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 6: give people the opportunity to actually meet those goals, they 693 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 6: jump for it every time. But not everybody starts out 694 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 6: from the same place in terms of having the opportunity 695 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 6: to just get in there. And so my plans, whether 696 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 6: it be twenty five thousand dollars down payment assistance, whether 697 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 6: it be a six thousand dollars child tax credit, or 698 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 6: helping people in terms of what they need to do 699 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 6: to be able to start a small business with a 700 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 6: bigger tax deduction. The reason I'm saying all that is 701 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 6: because when those folks are successful, we are all successful, 702 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 6: and we actually strengthen the economy overall. When middle class 703 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 6: is strong in America. America's economy is strong. It's a 704 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 6: better country, and it's a better country for all of us. 705 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: All right, So we're running short on time. We're going 706 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: to finish up with quick hitters. First thing to come 707 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: to mind, let us know, oh, cannabis. 708 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 6: I just feel strongly people should not be going to 709 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 6: jail for smoking wheed and we know historically what that 710 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 6: is meant and who has gone to jail. Second, I 711 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 6: just think we have come to a point where we 712 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 6: have to understand that we need to legalize it and 713 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 6: and stop criminalizing this behavior. And so and I've actually 714 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 6: this is not a new position for me. I have 715 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 6: felt for a long time we need to legalize it. 716 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 6: So that's where I am on that. 717 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 4: Okay, she said we not cannabis. Pay attention to y'all. 718 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's old school, right. 719 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 2: I like it. 720 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 5: I like it all right, love it. 721 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: Favorite holiday to cook and what's your signature dish? 722 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 6: Well, Sundays are my favorite days. Dinner, Sunday family dinner. 723 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 6: I mean these days it's more difficult for me than ever, 724 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 6: but Sunday family dinner might have a place and whoever 725 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 6: is around, bring your. 726 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: Friends, party, I'm gonna leave you my number.

What was 772 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: your process and what did you do when you were 773 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: deciding who to pick for your vice president? 774 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 6: You know, Ultimately, what it came down to was Tim Walls. 775 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 6: If you look at Tim Walls and you look at me, 776 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 6: and you have a sense of who we are and 777 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 6: where we came from, you think of nothing in common 778 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 6: but his you know, he comes from and grew up 779 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 6: in the same kind of you know, different part of 780 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 6: the country. You know, folks were a different color, from 781 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 6: a different culture, but same people. Hardworking people, straight talking people, 782 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 6: people who have values. And I just found that so 783 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 6: familiar to me. And I guess that the process was 784 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 6: Ultimately I made a decision about my gut around like 785 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 6: do you not than any of the other candidates didn't, 786 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 6: but just do you do you have a connection to 787 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 6: the people and and in a life experience that is 788 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 6: about just seeing people. And but it was a whole thing. 789 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: I mean, couldn't focus, like that's what okay. 790 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 6: Look from the time that the president called me and 791 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 6: told me he wasn't running, I mean, it just like 792 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 6: everything was in speedy, speedy motion, and I was not 793 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 6: sleeping so well. And that one morning, I just I mean, 794 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 6: I had I don't know, a few hours sleep, and 795 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 6: I you know, I'd like to sleep.

I just got up and 802 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 6: started cooking. 803 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: Yes, last question, as someone who's broke a ton of 804 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 1: barriers throughout your journey and your journeys continuing to elevate, 805 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: what does it mean to you to be the first 806 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 1: woman president, but the first black woman as president? 807 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 6: Well, not there yet, knock Wood. My mother had many sayings, 808 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 6: and one of them is she would say to me, calmly, 809 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 6: may be the first to do many things, make sure 810 00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 6: you're not the last. And I took that so very seriously. 811 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 6: I've had the good fortune to mentor a lot of 812 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 6: people along the way, including to this day. For me, 813 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 6: it's about one understanding the shoulders I stand on. We 814 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,919 Speaker 6: talk about a Shirley Chisholm, and then so many people 815 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 6: who are alive who have mentored me and help me up, 816 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 6: and I just I feel so strongly that you know, 817 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 6: each one pull one, you got to leave that door 818 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 6: open more than it was when you walked in. And 819 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 6: that's what it means to me, I feel a great 820 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 6: sense of responsibility. I mean, you talk about your daughter 821 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 6: and what she's doing at school. I look at our sons, 822 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 6: I look at I mean, I feel a sense of 823 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 6: responsibility to hopefully remind them that you should never hear no. 824 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 6: You should never hear nobody like you has done this before, 825 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 6: or it's not your time, or they're not ready, like 826 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 6: don't hear that, don't hear that I eat no for breakfast. 827 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 6: That's my saying no for breakfast. 828 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:11,919 Speaker 1: You got to see it to believe it. We talked 829 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: about that growing up in the community. We got to 830 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: see it to believe it. 831 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 4: We can. 832 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: We've seen Obama and do what he does, and now 833 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to possibly see you. To me, 834 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 1: you know, five six daughters and you know I have 835 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: a daughter, just to be able to see it means so. 836 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 6: Much, right well, because there's so many it's sadly, but 837 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 6: there's so much good in the world. So let's start 838 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 6: with that. And there's so many positive messages, and there 839 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,720 Speaker 6: are some that are not positive, and that would suggest 840 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,720 Speaker 6: to our kids, to our young people, that they're alone, 841 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 6: that they don't have champions, that they don't belong, that 842 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 6: they're not entitled to that they don't have rights, including 843 00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 6: the right to be a leader. And I hope that 844 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 6: in my career and in my work to the extent 845 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 6: I am able to help people reject that that I 846 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 6: can do that. 847 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, we would like to 848 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: give you our first ever coffee first podcast, you ever 849 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,439 Speaker 1: have a coffee table book. 850 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 5: Simon and Schuster. We did a partnership with them, so 851 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 5: we want to sign this. 852 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 6: Please do for you. Oh my goodness, that's wonderful. This 853 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 6: is a lot of new stuff happening for you, guys. 854 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 2: What is the name of the company All the smoke productions? 855 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 6: Okay, so productions adding that, Oh that's wonderful. Thank you. 856 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: All the story of some of our favorite guests, and 857 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: they're thinking everything from mental health to family to business basketball. 858 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 6: I'm so glad you guys are for I mean, on everything, 859 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 6: but on the mental health piece. I think it's huge 860 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 6: because that's especially coming from the two of you and 861 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 6: the folks that you'll bring on. We just need to 862 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 6: remind people that it's actually like this is about self help, right, 863 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,959 Speaker 6: It's like stop suffering. Yeah, and I think too, we're 864 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 6: living with so much suffering. 865 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: We've all came. We came from as low as you 866 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 1: can be and made it out. So to inspire and 867 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: to let people know it is okay to ask for help. 868 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: It's important. 869 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 6: But here's the other thing, if I can just add 870 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 6: to that, I think we have a system that fails 871 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 6: people if only the exceptional can get out. Great point, right, 872 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 6: that's that's a failure of a system because you know, 873 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 6: then people say, oh, but this person and that person. No, 874 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 6: if you're pointing to the exceptional and that's the only 875 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 6: success story you've got getting about the majority, that's a 876 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 6: failure of a system. 877 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,959 Speaker 4: Good point. Keyword is the opportunity you said. 878 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know people always asking what's the difference between 879 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 3: you and George Floyd. We grew up in the same area, 880 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 3: did the same things, but I had the opportunity to 881 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 3: go play basketball. He didn't have opportunity to get out 882 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 3: the ghetto. So that was that's the only differences in 883 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 3: our areas. It's opportunity. Everybody don't have the same opporxactly right, And. 884 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 4: That's what we got. That's what we got to give 885 00:46:59,000 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 4: back to. 886 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 6: That's exactly right, because if you didn't have that skill, 887 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,359 Speaker 6: but you had others there with it. Right, exactly right, 888 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,399 Speaker 6: exactly right. How's his daughter doing? 889 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 4: She's doing great, She's doing great.
