This is Craig Night again from 229 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 10: the sixty Curious podcast. First, I just want to give 230 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 10: you guys props for a job well done at the 231 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 10: d n C. And here's my question. I was thinking 232 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 10: about your analysis and your commentary on all things Kamala 233 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 10: Harris as far as her campaign is concerned, and a 234 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 10: lot of those things that you say, especially regarding like 235 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 10: how she handles interviews and what she should say in 236 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 10: the debate. I mean, all those things make a lot 237 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 10: of sense to me. So being that you guys have 238 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 10: more of a direct line to those figures in politics, 239 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 10: with all of your experience, would it be naive of 240 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 10: me to think that some of those things might be 241 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 10: getting through. And that's my question, Mike. As a loyal listener, 242 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 10: it would be really comforting to me to know that 243 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 10: some of the things that you say on your show 244 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 10: would actually get through to these candidates and they might 245 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 10: actually fashion or craft their their their strategies according to 246 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 10: some of the things that you got said. Because I 247 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 10: think that it's very valuable. 248 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 7: I love that question. I love it. 249 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: I have thoughts on that, but please say, oh, Angela, 250 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: you can tell me your thoughts. 251 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 6: I can wait because I'm just gonna start name dropping. 252 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 6: It's not it's not it's not gonna be negative. 253 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well I'll answer Andrew you I will answer. 254 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 6: People get to see it, though, because they're like, leave 255 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 6: and touch, andrewes and he frong, he leave, he rabbit, 256 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 6: he bounced, he kangaroo, he hops, he be swaying all 257 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 6: the time. 258 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 4: Air, off air camera, off camera on. 259 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 7: Andrew. 260 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 5: One of his questions from. 261 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 4: Let him know what it really was, because you ain't. 262 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 6: What you're not about to do is act like we'd 263 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 6: be going, He'll be shooting. 264 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 4: Shoot. 265 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: That is man's question. I want to say a couple 266 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: of things. One, I appreciate the question because I would 267 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: say yes, there are certainly people I can say definitively yes, 268 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: there are certain people in the administration who listen to 269 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,119 Speaker 1: this podcast on the campaign, who listened to this podcast routinely, 270 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: the devil trying to keep me quiet. 271 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 5: Not today saying today, drink your water. 272 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: Yes, probably, I just got this flight my throat dry. 273 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: The other thing I want to say, this could be 274 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: This could be why they try to keep me quiet 275 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: because the other thing I want to say, there is 276 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: a misunderstanding. I'll say, a misconception that a lot of 277 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: people are watching cable certain cable news shows in the morning. 278 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: And that is why some people have disclaimed the fame 279 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: because you think, oh, this big branded platform and this 280 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: cable news platform, they must be getting millions of viewers 281 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: every day, and. 282 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 7: That is not true. 283 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Some of these shows are getting five hundred thousand viewers, 284 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand viewers, which is not a lot cable news. 285 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, the primetime shows are in the millions, right, 286 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: but they're claimed to fame as Oh, because the administration 287 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: listens to us, they tune in well as the administration changes, 288 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: As demographics of the country and the administration changes, they're 289 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: going to start listening to other people. So I would 290 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: say for a lot of folks who you know, spend 291 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: spend resources in these shows, they're going to have to 292 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: rethink their entire platforms. And I look forward to that 293 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: day coming and a lot of people express viewpoints that 294 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: sometimes run contrary to the rising majority of this country. 295 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: So I look for when that space is disrupted. Lastly, 296 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: I'll close with this. I just want to be clear 297 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: that the three of us do very different things, and 298 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: so I have so much respect for what Andrew and 299 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: Angela do. You know, like Andrew was a policy maker, 300 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, as an elected official, Angela worked in policy. 301 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: So there are times where Angela has like great advice 302 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: for the campaign, great campaign strategy, great policy points. As 303 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: a journalist, I'm not really here to say, here's the 304 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: policy that the administration should should do, but I do 305 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you our audience understands what 306 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: that policy is and how it impacts you, what the 307 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: GOP is pushing and how it might impact you. So 308 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: I am not necessarily here to say, hey, Vice President Harris, 309 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: here's how you should perform in the debate. But I 310 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: do like to weigh in on what my brother and 311 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: my sister are saying, like, oh, that is a good idea. 312 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: I like it, but that's just not my skills. That 313 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: if I happen to say something that that resonates, great, 314 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not necessarily my agenda. But I 315 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: do appreciate sharing the platform with folks who are better 316 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: at that kind of thing than I am. 317 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 6: I just want to fact check tip really quick here.

However, 340 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 6: what I want to say here is this I do. 341 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 6: And I want to clarify this. From the very beginning, 342 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 6: people went in on us at the very beginning like 343 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 6: we were going to become. 344 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: I don't know who they were, but like from the. 345 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 5: Beginning were the grievance people. 346 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 4: Oh we were, Okay, I didn't. 347 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 6: I didn't hear that particular terminology, and maybe I did 348 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 6: and I forgot. 349 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: Y'all know how my memory set up. It ain't good. 350 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: But here's the thing. 351 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 6: What was interesting to me is there were a lot 352 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 6: of folks who are like, you just mad as you 353 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 6: never even. 354 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 4: Been to the White House. 355 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 7: That's dumb. 356 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 4: You just mad as You've never been invited to the 357 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 4: White House. 358 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 6: Uh, you just mad as you never talked to her? 359 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 6: Like off, this is somebody who literally called us to 360 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 6: say congratulations when we launched a podcast talking about Kamala Harris. 361 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 6: And so I'm just like, yeah, that's not really it. 362 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 6: So what we do have are not just a direct 363 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 6: line to her, but also to the team around President Biden, 364 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 6: also to the team around MVP Harris. We have direct 365 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 6: lines on the political side, the policy front, the com side, 366 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 6: and we talk to these folks regularly. And if we're 367 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 6: as for advice we offer it. We have offered advice. 368 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 6: We've offered advice about doing interviews, We've offered advice about 369 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 6: campaign tactics, We've offered advice at nauseum. I am happy, 370 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 6: y'all because I'm starting to see some of the things 371 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 6: that we've suggested on this show and off the show implemented. 372 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 4: I think it's great she is going to be. 373 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 6: Doing shows with people who are not necessarily friendly to 374 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 6: her campaign. I think that's great. That is what she 375 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 6: needs to grow her base. This is a place where 376 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 6: tif Andrew and I fight often. She needs to grow 377 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 6: our base, and I think that she's got the opportunity 378 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 6: to do that. So that's my short answer, because I 379 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 6: had to share my time with fact check and tiff 380 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 6: I can't believe a resident journalist tried to get on 381 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 6: here and tell a story actually Tiffany in nineteen ninety seven. 382 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 9: Right. 383 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 5: But the other thing is is that you can answer 384 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 5: this Craig for yourself, which is you do your own potting. 385 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 5: You influence people. I have to imagine that in the 386 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 5: stream of thought and conversation, that may be some things 387 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 5: that you hear us banter back and forth about, or 388 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 5: debate about may have shaped some of your own thinking. 389 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 5: So I mean, I think the biggest and highest recommender 390 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 5: for the show is the fact that if you're on 391 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 5: the listening side of this, just know that you're in 392 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 5: good company with people who have abilities to make change 393 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 5: and shifts at every level of policy and government. But 394 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 5: also you are in company with people who are just 395 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 5: curious about what they may not know and spend a 396 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 5: lot of time with from day to day, week to week, 397 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 5: and this gets to be their little short dosage of it, 398 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 5: you know, weekend and we out, we hope, but we 399 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 5: also want to recruit and attract more people, so continue 400 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 5: to spread the word. Let folks know what this is 401 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 5: and what a special experience it is. I know it's 402 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 5: specially for the three of us. I know it because 403 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 5: I feel it and we communicate about it. But it's 404 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 5: made that much, you know, much greater when we're in 405 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 5: airports and at restaurants and at conventions and y'all come 406 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 5: up like we didn't been found, you know, forever, and 407 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 5: we haven't personally met up because the environment is one 408 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 5: of family. We are family. So thanks for the question, man, 409 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 5: and good luck on the poden. 410 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 7: Sometimes people don't even say hi. They just shout out 411 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 7: welcome home, y'all. 412 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 6: Know what, and it ain't gonna be no home if 413 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 6: we actually don't take this break. Hopefully on the other 414 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 6: side of that test, we can get into why you 415 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 6: said the Republicans is talking about ft and key. 416 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, love it okay. 417 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 11: One of the things that we can do is make 418 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 11: it easier for family models to choose, or for families 419 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 11: to choose whatever model they want. 420 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 5: Right. 421 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 11: So, one of the ways that you might be able 422 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 11: to relieve a little bit of pressure on people who 423 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 11: are paying so much for daycare is make it so 424 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 11: that that you know, maybe like grandma and grandpa wants 425 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 11: to help out a little bit more, or maybe there's 426 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 11: an ant or uncle that wants to help out a 427 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 11: little bit more. If that happens, you relieve some of 428 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 11: the pressure on all the resources that we're spending the daycare. 429 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 11: Now you talk about just daycare, let's say you don't 430 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 11: have somebody who can provide that extra set of hands. 431 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 11: What we've got to do is actually empower people to 432 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 11: get trained in the skills that they need for the. 433 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 5: Twenty first century. 434 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 11: We've got a lot of people who love kids, who 435 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 11: would love to take care of kids, but they can't 436 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 11: either because they don't have access to the education that 437 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 11: they need, or maybe more importantly, because the state government 438 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 11: says you're not allowed to take care of children unless 439 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 11: you have some ridiculous certification that has nothing to do 440 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 11: nothing to do with taking care of kids. So empower 441 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 11: people to get the skills they need. Don't force every 442 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 11: early childcare specialist to go and get a six year 443 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 11: college degree where they've got a whole lot of debt, 444 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 11: and Americans are much poor because they're paying out the 445 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 11: wazoo for daycare. Empower working families, Empower people who want 446 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 11: to do these things for a living, and that's what 447 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 11: we've got to do. 448 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 5: So one, we don't care for days, we care for children. 449 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 7: Yeah. 450 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 5: Two, this man's talking about six years of degrees. I 451 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 5: don't know where that exists, but it probably wasn't evident 452 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 5: for him. But you do realize that brain development, over 453 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 5: the course of human life, ninety percent of it is 454 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 5: developed between the ages of zero and five. Zero and five, 455 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 5: our children are running. The word gap of thirty thousand 456 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 5: words which exist at kindergarten exists because of the kids 457 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 5: who are I guess going with you talking about today 458 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 5: care where they care for the days over the children, 459 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 5: versus those who go to childcare centers and early learning 460 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 5: development centers where they are learning being taught frankly social 461 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 5: emotional skills that will them not to for instance. I 462 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 5: don't know do any of the issue you do from 463 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 5: them in day out, but I know you probably had 464 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 5: a different aim on that tip. I just everything he 465 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 5: said triggered me as a father of three children who 466 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 5: was highly selective about where my kids went during the 467 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 5: day in that early period. But this is why we 468 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 5: can't have good things because people like him are sitting 469 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 5: in the US Senate and wants to be the US 470 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 5: Vice president probably president, who doesn't understand the critical years 471 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 5: of early learning and child development. 472 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: Well, let me just talk through the policy, because that's 473 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: a good point that you made as a father, and 474 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: we all know because angel neither Angela and I have kids, 475 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: so we have no right to vote, or no investment 476 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: in the country or no right. 477 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that's right, you got right exactly. 478 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: But I think it's clear you know that jd Vance 479 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: is a jackass and a dumb ass. But I want 480 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: to point out what he said. This just doesn't make sense, 481 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: and this is a huge issue on the campaign troll 482 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: and there's a good reason why because nearly twenty three 483 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: million children under the age of five to Andrew's just point, 484 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: we're in their development of years, live in households where 485 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: both parents work. So seventy one percent of households which 486 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: both parents work, more than half of all children, particularly 487 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: those of low and middle income. This is predominantly Latino 488 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: and Black children live in a childcare desert, and that's 489 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: defined as an area where there are too few licensed 490 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: slots for the number of children who need care. So 491 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: jd Vance's solution is to first of all, presume that 492 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: there is a grandparent who can help out, or presume 493 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: that it's a grandparent who the grandparent might actually be 494 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: raising the kid, so there is literally nobody else, and 495 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: then if you can't do that to lower the standard 496 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: of childcare. The other issue is the crunch got worse 497 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: last fall as twenty four billion dollars in pandemic era 498 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: funding for childcare expired. This was another GOP move. Foldcare 499 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: is a sixty billion dollar industry, and so the annual 500 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: cost of caring for a single child, depending on the 501 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: type the provider type the age in the county. It 502 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: can require up to twenty percent of a family's income, 503 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: which is obviously a huge problem. 504 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 7: And so when you. 505 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: Talk about this party that claims to care for children, 506 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: I have to say they do not care for children. 507 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: Not only do they not care for child care, they 508 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: also do not care if these children eat. I want 509 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: to play a SoundBite from a state senator out of Minnesota, 510 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: and this is relevant because of course this is Vice 511 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: President elect Walls's negative woods. 512 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 7: Take a listen, mister president. 513 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that 514 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: is hungry yet today. I have yet to meet a 515 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 2: person in Minnesota that says they don't have access to 516 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: enough food t eat. Now I should say that hunger 517 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: is a relative term, mister President. You know, I had 518 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: a Cereal bar for breakfast. I guess I'm hungry. Now. 519 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: That to some might be the Maybe that's the definition 520 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 2: of the bill. I don't know. I didn't see a 521 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: definition of hunger in the bill, mister president, but I 522 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 2: think most reasonable people suggest hunger means you don't have 523 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: enough to eat in order to provide for metabolism and growth. 524 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 5: All right, just play stupid on TV. 525 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: No, these are heartless people. So again I think it's 526 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: important to understand the numbers here. One, you cannot learn 527 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: if you're a child and you're hungry. So there are 528 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: teachers who keep apples on their desks bananas just because 529 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: if a child comes in this classroom, you need sustenance 530 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: in order to learn. In twenty twenty two, over thirty 531 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: million students, that's over sixty percent of all public school 532 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: students received a free year reduced lunch. When I was 533 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: in school, I received a free year reduced lunch. The 534 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: branch of government that handles this is the Department of Agriculture. 535 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: The USDA administers the school lunch and nearly one hundred 536 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: thousand public and nonprofit private schools participate in the program. 537 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: Children living in poverty, so that includes not only children 538 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: living in poverty, but foster care students, migrant educational programs 539 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: they participate. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced 540 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: lunch is often use how to measure policy around poverty 541 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: in this country. How many families are actually living in poverty? Now, 542 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: I want to say what poverty looks like, because that's 543 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: a really important piece. Poverty is defined as of January 544 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. The threshold is twenty nine thousand, nine 545 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty dollars a year. You can be denied 546 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: a school lunch if you make fifty cents more than that. 547 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. It's a hard cutoff. 548 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: The individual poverty threshold is fourteen thousand, eight hundred and 549 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: ninety one dollars. So you imagine if, first of all, 550 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: what you can and cannot do with that money. If 551 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: you are feeding a family afore making fifty thousand, make 552 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: it sixty thousand twice, that you are having a hard 553 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: time at the grocery store. The Census Bureau estimated in 554 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: the latest census that nearly twelve percent, that's thirty eight 555 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: million people lived at or below the poverty line. The 556 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: higher percentages of those in poverty Latino, Black American, Indian, 557 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: Alaskan Native Pacific Islander students. These are the students who 558 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: disproportionately attended high poverty schools, who attended low poverty schools 559 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: White students. So my point is, they don't care about you. 560 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: They do not care about you in the womb, they 561 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: do not care about you here on earth. So every 562 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: time the news media plays these sound bites. These ridiculous 563 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: soundbites from JD Vance. You heard Donald Trump's pumsleys stutter 564 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: through a response on childcare that was nonsensical. I would 565 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: love for them to follow up with the statistics and 566 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: the data and who exactly is impacted by these policies. 567 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: Every time they talk about being what they call pro life, 568 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: which is really anti choice. Would love for them to 569 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: talk specifically about the policy and how it impacts people. 570 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: They do not care about children, They do not care 571 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: about life. 572 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 5: And by the way, they don't care about white poor 573 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 5: children either, which are the majority of families who are 574 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 5: receiving help from the government. They are care less, which means, 575 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 5: you know, the saying I couldn't care less, That dude 576 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 5: right there, he couldn't care less about what poverty looks like. 577 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 5: He cannot conceptualize the fact that he said, I had 578 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 5: a breakfast bar and I'm hungry, and no way correlates 579 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 5: to the child whose last decent meal was Friday afternoon 580 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 5: at school and won't have another one until breakfast on 581 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 5: Monday morning when he gets back to school. That's what 582 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 5: poverty in hunger looks like. And poor families all around 583 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 5: the country, white black, brown and everything in the middle 584 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 5: between in betwixt all right, So I and this is 585 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 5: a policymaker, as is jd. Vance, And the best they 586 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 5: can come up with on public policy for how it 587 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 5: is that we one raise and educate our children is 588 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 5: to lower the standards of educating them rather than I 589 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 5: don't know, scholarship people into early childhood education learning degree programs, 590 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 5: which are not six years, by the way, in many 591 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 5: cases they're not any years. There's certifications for a lot 592 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 5: of people, by the way, learn something. Schollege degrees are 593 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 5: not required and nowhere near the majority of early learning centers. 594 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 5: But what is required is care, love, tenderness, some skills 595 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 5: so that you can impart upon kids so that they're 596 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 5: ready for education. I mean, it's troubling to have to 597 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 5: talk about this tip because you and I both have 598 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 5: lived experiences that I think be goes really really close 599 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 5: for comfort, and that's probably why I feel very pricked 600 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 5: by this whole thing. It was my first concept of 601 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 5: learning how poor I really was because the classes I 602 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 5: was in it was with all white students and accelerated programming. 603 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 5: But then I went to lunch and they type for 604 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 5: it off to go sit under the tree. And I 605 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 5: got in the lunch line and I looked around, and 606 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 5: I saw that everybody in the lunch line was like me, 607 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 5: looked like me. That was my introduction. And why the 608 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 5: hell are we penalizing children for choices that they didn't 609 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 5: get to make. They they didn't ask to be born 610 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 5: into the families that they're in. They didn't ask for 611 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 5: their parents to be paid much less than what they're worth, right, 612 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 5: they didn't ask for any of that, and they didn't 613 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 5: ask to be hungry. 614 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: And some municipalities Andrew, they're actually these students are collecting debt. 615 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: So they're literally getting a debt from the school system. 616 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: They're being threatened that they can't graduate, that they can't 617 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: get their grades because they owe a percentage of what 618 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: they've been eating at lunch. 619 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 5: An eight year old, can you get a meal? 620 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: And then there can be little human interest stories on 621 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: local news like, oh, this fourth grader raised seven thousand 622 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: dollars to pay off the debt for her lunch room classmates, 623 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: and we celebrate that, and it's like that is actually 624 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: horrific that a child is doing more for her fellow 625 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: students than this grown jackass. Jd Vance who was making 626 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: these ridiculous policy recommended and that state senator who is heartless. 627 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: Don't talk to me about being quote unquote pro life. 628 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: You are not pro life. You don't give a damn 629 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: about children. You give a damn about policy and control. 630 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: And for everybody who votes for this ticket, shame on you. 631 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: For every person who leaves comments and is out there 632 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: talking about Trump's for the people and I'm going for 633 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: Trump and their pro life and blah blah blah, all 634 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: the awful things you all say. You ought to be 635 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: embarrassed and shamed. We are pulling the hood off pun 636 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: intended on these types of policies and how it impacts 637 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: our communities no more. 638 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 6: I would like to jump in here, please, especially because 639 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 6: what we've spent some time talking about is the types 640 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 6: of punishment that ensues after the child is born. 641 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 4: One of the things. 642 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 6: That they have argued that they are pushing is to 643 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 6: protect the fetus more than anything else. And Kamala Harris 644 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 6: had something to say on this. This add is called monster. 645 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 6: Let's roll that. 646 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 9: I've never slept a full night my high life. I 647 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 9: was five years old when my stepfather abused me for 648 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 9: the first time. 649 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 12: I just felt like I was alone on a planet 650 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 12: with a monster. 651 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 9: I was twelve when he impregnated me. I just remember thinking, 652 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 9: I have to get out of my skin. 653 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 4: I can't be me right now, like this can't be it. 654 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 12: I didn't know what to do. I was a child. 655 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 12: I didn't know what it meant to be pregnant at all. 656 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 12: But I had options. Because Donald Trump overturned Roe v. 657 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 9: Wade, girls and women all over the country have lost 658 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 9: the right to choose. 659 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 5: Even for rape or incest. 660 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 9: Donald Trump did this, He took away our freedom. 661 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 6: I'm Kamala Harris, and I approved this message. 662 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 5: Wow. 663 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 6: I wanted to play that because I think too often 664 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 6: in this reproductive justice debate, we have these conversations without 665 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 6: any real context, without the anecdotes that matter. We talk 666 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 6: about rape and incest, and most times progressive politicians are 667 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 6: raising them on the floor, you know, in the House 668 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 6: and Senate, in their in their states and their city 669 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 6: council meetings on the House floor and the Senate in Congress, 670 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 6: and I think it needs to be we need to 671 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 6: put a face on it. So when you think about 672 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 6: who they force to have children, and then they punish 673 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 6: them once they arrive, and then the folks who have 674 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 6: struggles with fertility, they want to punish more So, just yesterday, 675 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 6: Senator Tammy Duckworth that introduced in June the Right to 676 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 6: IVF Act IVF IS then Vitro Fertilization Act, so the 677 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 6: Rights in Vitro Fertilization Act. And there were only two 678 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 6: Republican Senators who voted in favor of this bill. Nine 679 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 6: Republican Senate who are up for election this year, John Basso, 680 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 6: Marshall Blackburn, Kevin Kramer. 681 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 4: I'm naming these names. 682 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 6: Ted Cruz, deb Fisher, Josh Holly, Pete, Ricketts, Rick Scott, 683 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 6: and Roger Wicker all voted against.

And I think 686 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 6: that all of that is important, especially when we contextualize 687 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 6: it with the fact that we're gonna force you, young 688 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 6: twelve year old to have this child. Person who can't 689 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 6: afford to have children. We're gonna penalize you for having 690 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 6: the child that you can't afford, and we're not gonna 691 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 6: give you any support in ensuring that you can raise 692 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 6: this child that we. 693 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 4: Forced you to have. 694 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 6: And then don't have fertility problems, because if you have 695 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 6: fertility problems, we're not gonna give you any medical care 696 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 6: or attention for that. And then on top of that, 697 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 6: when or if you can't have children, or God forbid, 698 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 6: you choose not to have children, we gonna drag you 699 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 6: for filth at a campaign rally, Let's roll this clip 700 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 6: from Sarah Huckabee Sanders. 701 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 13: And walk into a room like this where people cheer 702 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 13: when you step onto the stage, and you might think 703 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 13: for a second that you're kind of special. Then you 704 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 13: go home and your kids remind you very quickly you're 705 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 13: actually not. 706 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 7: That big of a deal. So my kids keep me humble. 707 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 13: Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble. 708 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 7: Wow, I want to say some bad words. 709 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 6: I really do, Tiff, And I think it's crazy because 710 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 6: when I watched that the first time, I wasn't emotional, 711 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 6: just angry now, like knowing my own IVF journey and 712 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 6: what I've been through and to be childless and it's 713 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,959 Speaker 6: not by choice, it's just mean. 714 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,959 Speaker 4: It's just it's really mean. And I just wish that. 715 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 6: When they go through this journey of what it means 716 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 6: to birth people you know in this country how much 717 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 6: of a struggle it is, how much of a blind 718 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 6: eye they turn to black maternal health or maternal health 719 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 6: period with the blind eye they turned to the kids. 720 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 6: Tipulated out all the data, Andrew you laid out the data, 721 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 6: the personal experience you and Tip's own connection as children 722 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 6: to this issue. We have got to have a more holistic, 723 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 6: nonpartisan approach to policy making for children and people who 724 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 6: desire to have children. And you should not shame people 725 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 6: who did not, who chose not, or who cannot have kids. 726 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 6: That should not be the pathway. So I wanted to 727 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 6: double down in all of that and make sure we 728 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 6: have a holistic perspective on what that is like in 729 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 6: this country and how they're using it as a campaign 730 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 6: talking point to jab this woman who has literally sacrificed 731 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 6: her life for this country at every level of state 732 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 6: government and federal government. 733 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: And speaking of sacrificing her life, I just want to 734 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: point out that for Senator Tammy Duckwerts, he's a Democratic 735 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: senator from Illinois, replaced Senator Barack Obama in the Senate. 736 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: This is personal for her. She served this country, lost 737 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: her limbs, so she's in a wheelchair, and that was 738 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: the only way that she could conceive children with her 739 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: husband is through IVF.

And and Florida, 811 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 5: Ronda Santis is the governor down here, y'all. I didn't 812 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 5: choose them, but has taken this women's reproductive rights, you know, 813 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 5: effort to hold new level. So already he and the 814 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 5: Republican legislature have banned abortions in this state after six weeks. 815 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 5: Shall I also say, I e. Most women don't know 816 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 5: they're pregnant at six weeks unless you are intentionally anticipating 817 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 5: and therefore you're checking the clock. But this is before 818 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 5: six weeks, is before many women even know that they 819 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 5: are pregnant, and has made it illegal in the state 820 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 5: of Florida to pursue an abortion after set point. There 821 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 5: is a constitutional amendment, a citizen's amendment that is being 822 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 5: pushed by the smart people, well thinking people, actual people 823 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 5: who live in the state and care about what happens 824 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 5: here in Florida, who are pushing obviously to demolish this 825 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 5: six week abortion ban and re establish basically row as 826 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 5: part of the law of the land here in the 827 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 5: state of Florida via the Florida Constitution. So the governor, well, 828 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,959 Speaker 5: I don't need to summarize. Let's hear the governor's thoughts 829 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 5: about what this is. 830 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 3: And let me just say this about Amendment four, because yes, 831 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 3: you have had fraudulent stuff with the signatures. I think 832 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 3: that's been verified to what extent we'll see. But the 833 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 3: whole thing is built on fraud. If you read that amendment, 834 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 3: they don't define any of the terms that are in 835 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 3: the amendment. Not one definition is written into that amendment. 836 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 3: But the reality is this whole thing is not what 837 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 3: it seems. This is all built on deception, and they're 838 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 3: running commercials that are just totally lie saying there's no exception, 839 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 3: saying there's somehow just normal health care. First of all, 840 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 3: if doctor says they can't provide health care, they're committing 841 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 3: malpractice because there's nothing in Florida law that would say that. 842 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 3: So you can't go and just try to have this 843 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 3: whole thing be a big deception. 844 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 5: His whole governorship is based on a big deception. And 845 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 5: by the way, y'all, the terms that he wants to 846 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 5: be defined are like trimester that people don't know when 847 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 5: they go into the ballot box that this is what that. 848 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 5: We aren't fools. They may have been foolish in electing 849 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 5: you Randa Scantists, but we're not fools. In the state 850 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 5: of Florida, what this all knowing, all encompassing governor has 851 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 5: done is he has decided to go after to put 852 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 5: the state police, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, on 853 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 5: duty to go and visit the households of people who 854 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 5: have signed this amendment signatures that were accepted as having 855 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,240 Speaker 5: been official, in verifiable signatures. He is sending law enforcement 856 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 5: to their doorsteps to ask them if they signed this amendment, 857 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 5: was there some fraud possibly going on. He showed up 858 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 5: at one Floridian's house and was met with a relative, 859 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,399 Speaker 5: then tells that relative that they're looking for this other 860 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 5: relative who might be being defrauded because his name appeared 861 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,720 Speaker 5: on a ballot initiative to repeal the six week abortion 862 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 5: band in the state of Florida. That relative then gets 863 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 5: the real relative on the phone that the person the 864 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 5: man is actually looking for and that person then confirms, yeah, 865 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 5: I was at a grocery store, I was at the 866 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 5: parking lot, and not yeah I signed it, that's me. 867 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 5: But what would have happened had they shown up at 868 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 5: a household where this was not a place a supportive 869 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 5: environment for this young man to have gone and signed 870 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 5: a petition to say, X, Y, and Z. If your 871 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 5: law enforcement, why wouldn't you be speaking to the person directly? 872 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 5: Why are you spreading a business across and you have 873 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 5: no idea what penalties could then ensue as a result 874 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 5: of what it is you are doing, y'all. Let me 875 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 5: make this plane. The supervisor of elections of the sixty 876 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 5: seven counties in Florida are the ones who verify whether 877 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 5: or not a signature is legit or not. At that stage, 878 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 5: they then make a decision comparing that person's signature to 879 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,720 Speaker 5: the voter rolls to ensure that they are the same. 880 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 5: If there's a question about whether they are the same 881 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 5: or not, that petition is rejected. Doesn't even go to 882 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 5: the state. So what they did is they took the 883 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 5: petitions that came to the state, reached out to a 884 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 5: couple of counties. May I add almost all of them 885 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 5: Democratic counties and said send us thirty six thousand petitions 886 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 5: that you think might be fraudulent, and that way we 887 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 5: can invent they're investigating legitimized, validated signatures. The governor of 888 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,720 Speaker 5: the state of Florida says that the amendment is not real. 889 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 5: People can can, can, can can be healthy and have 890 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 5: healthy pregnancies. This is that and the third, I mean 891 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 5: just bull Talk to Candy Miller in Georgia, the mother 892 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 5: of three who had health conditions significant enough in her life. 893 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 5: Thank you to the doctors who said, if you carry 894 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 5: this pregnancy it could be so risky that you could 895 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 5: be losing your life. What does she do? She decides 896 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,280 Speaker 5: not to go to future doctor's visits. She orders pills 897 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 5: off the internet. She takes those pills, and as a 898 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 5: result of not having flushed the complete pregnancy out contracted 899 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 5: sepsis hospitalized and died. And a direct result of the 900 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 5: legislation that this man's pushing and that Republicans are pushing 901 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 5: all over the country, people are losing their LIVESNS woman 902 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 5: is caring for three children, she is in heart, she'sless, 903 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 5: she's not running away from anything. She's preserving her life 904 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 5: so she can be there to raise her three goddamn kids. 905 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: It's Crystal. I just want to say, it's Crystal Galloway, 906 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 1: Crystal Galloy. 907 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 7: I'm sure that's okay. I knew, I know what. I 908 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 7: just want to. 909 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 5: Make Galloway is also another Candy Miller is sorry, but 910 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 5: it's all. The point is, guess what. There are names 911 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 5: that we cannot call, faces we won't recognize who are 912 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 5: going through this battle everywhere. You have made our environments, 913 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 5: our lives more hostile. The governor Florida declares this the 914 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 5: Free State of Florida. He's the Gestapo, he's an authoritarian wannabe. 915 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 5: And it's important that we we call out people like 916 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 5: Sarah Huckabee, Sanders and Ronda Santis because all these people 917 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 5: have designs on higher office so they can take their 918 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 5: shenanigans not just on the state level, but to the 919 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 5: federal level. And we have to be on are for this, 920 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 5: y'all the Republicans. I suggested that we call the episode 921 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 5: this show this this isn't normal. I actually directly it 922 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 5: was this shit ain't normal. Yeah, And it's important to 923 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 5: say what's not normal because they're so out of pocket 924 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 5: every day, every day that it's hard to sort of 925 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,799 Speaker 5: you know, what's up, what's down, what's in between? They 926 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 5: have topsy turvyed what is normal? What is default? The 927 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 5: reason why the word default exists is so that we 928 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 5: don't have to explain it. Everybody experiences it. That's why 929 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 5: it's the default condition. What is default? It's no longer 930 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 5: default anymore. Yeah, it's whatever they are feeling and what 931 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 5: they want to do at that moment, at that time, y'all. 932 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 5: It's insane and Tiffany and answer, I know why y'all 933 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 5: feel like we're going crazy. I know I feel it. 934 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 5: I feel it, especially this week because of the trove, 935 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 5: the trove of insult and not just that, but impact 936 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 5: that what they're doing. Kamala Harris put it well, she 937 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,800 Speaker 5: said kids were going to school for picture day. Yeah, 938 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,879 Speaker 5: and because of a lie. Call it what it is, 939 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 5: a lie by jd. Vance, the state's senator in Ohio 940 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 5: and his running mate, trolling Chief Donald Trump. These kids 941 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 5: had to be evacuated. And the stories get much worse, y'all. 942 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 5: I know y'all have seen them. But this is what 943 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 5: they're doing, this is what they want us to turn 944 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 5: the country over to. 945 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: Well, it gets much worse especially when it comes to 946 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,319 Speaker 1: black women. Black women in particular about three times more 947 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: likely to die from pregnancy complications than white women. Andrew, 948 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm so so sorry for interrupting you with incorrect information, 949 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: but I do want because I said Crystal Galloway and 950 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: that's actually not accurate. There are countless stories of black 951 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:54,320 Speaker 1: women who have faced dire pregnancy related complications, and Crystal 952 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: Anderson was one in Kansas.

Pro Publica has identified numerous 956 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: women who died after they couldn't access legal abortions and 957 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: timely metal care, and pro Publica said even among the 958 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: women they identify, there are most certainly others. These people 959 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,320 Speaker 1: are not pro life. We have to start the media 960 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: has to stop calling them pro life.

Included in the recommendations to President 1011 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 6: Nixon were issues around healthcare and DC statehood, along with 1012 00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 6: so many other things housing, home affordability, access for small 1013 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 6: and black businesses. All of these things in addition to that, 1014 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 6: in nineteen seventy two, so a year after their founding, 1015 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 6: there was the National Black Political Convention, where there was 1016 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:10,800 Speaker 6: another Black Agenda. 1017 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 4: Those same things were on there. 1018 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 6: When you look at the Black Futures lab Agenda that 1019 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 6: was developed as a result of the Census, Black Senses 1020 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 6: twenty twenty and then Black Senses twenty twenty two, those 1021 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 6: things are parts of the agenda. When you go to 1022 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 6: KamalaHarris dot com and look at the platform they have 1023 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 6: rolled out, affordable healthcare is on there, Affordable home ownership 1024 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 6: is on there, childcare tax credits see I didn't say 1025 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 6: daycare Andrew is on there.

I gotta believe 1030 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 6: it's because it will take a supermajority of Congress to 1031 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 6: do that or state conventions. We are going to actually 1032 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 6: talk about abolishing the electoral college on an upcoming minipod, 1033 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 6: but I will just say that we have to be 1034 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 6: mindful of I believe, like selling pipe dreams to people, 1035 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 6: I think you have to tell folks, this is my 1036 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 6: idea in a perfect world, this is what I want. 1037 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 6: These are the things that it would take to get here. 1038 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 6: You call your senator, you call your member of Congress 1039 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 6: to help me get there. But in order for us 1040 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,800 Speaker 6: to get there, it's all hands on deck, especially in 1041 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 6: the face of a Supreme Court that will grant Donald 1042 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 6: Trump immunity but try to dismantle Obamacare, a Supreme Court 1043 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,359 Speaker 6: that would eviscerate ro versus Wade through Dobbs, But at 1044 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,320 Speaker 6: the same time, say Shelby versus Holder can eviscerate the 1045 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 6: voting rights at. 1046 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 5: So we can right to a company over a person. 1047 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 6: Yes, and also turn a blind eye to Claire's Thomas 1048 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,839 Speaker 6: being fluid out like the ho. He is, so all 1049 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 6: of that or I'm sorry before I said, huci whoci's nicer? 1050 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,480 Speaker 4: So now that's the thing. He's a ho. Okay, So 1051 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 4: that's the thing. 1052 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 6: Right, We have to be mindful of these things and 1053 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 6: how we get there. I want all the same things. 1054 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 6: I want a ceasefire. I want a free Palestine. I 1055 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 6: want them to stop fighting everywhere. I want America to 1056 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 6: stop spending money on nuclear weapons. I mean all of 1057 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 6: these things. Were talking about fifty five billion dollars on 1058 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,280 Speaker 6: nuclear weapons and yet and still here we are needing 1059 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 6: some type of negotiation with the Congress that feels like 1060 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,879 Speaker 6: it's being held hostage by a party that has no 1061 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 6: interest in actually evolving or advancing the people, but rather 1062 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 6: only fattening the pockets of their friends because that's the 1063 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 6: trust funds anyway, y'all see, No, I mean, I'm filibustering that. 1064 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 5: Takes slight difference, only in that difference. What's slight difference 1065 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 5: in the sense that we'd be different, of course, But 1066 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 5: you know, I'm just saying I would bam polite and 1067 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 5: that I think it is really important for institutions to 1068 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 5: be held accountable by folks who sit at these hell 1069 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,240 Speaker 5: politics might call it extremes, but at the outer layers 1070 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 5: of creativity, the outer layers of possibility, the space of imagination. 1071 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 5: Remember my teacher telling me Andrew, you need to read 1072 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:06,200 Speaker 5: more fiction because the real world is dragging you down. 1073 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,720 Speaker 5: You know, I'm reading quotables on stories. You need more fiction. 1074 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,000 Speaker 5: That's where innovation and creativity lie, right. And so the 1075 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,880 Speaker 5: beauty of I think people who who like Robin and 1076 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 5: others who come with these ideas again that are bold 1077 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 5: and ferocious, is that if we can build a constituency 1078 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 5: that then demands that right. Remember the Tea Party. They 1079 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 5: weren't everybody, but they were a large enough group within 1080 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,799 Speaker 5: the Republican Party to pull that whole goddamn party into 1081 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:37,240 Speaker 5: hell right with them. And that's what they'd been until Trump. 1082 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 6: Right. 1083 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,839 Speaker 5: So I think we should demand those things, should fight 1084 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 5: for them. We absolutely should go out and vote for 1085 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:47,080 Speaker 5: Kamala and and drag her and every Democrat we can 1086 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 5: to the furthest possibility of oh, the furthest extent of 1087 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,399 Speaker 5: possibility that is possible, right that they and maybe even 1088 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,280 Speaker 5: unimaginable where we sit today, free lum for every every 1089 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 5: kid zero to twelfth grade. That shouldn't be the concern 1090 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 5: whatever that is, whatever that is, because it may get 1091 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 5: us to a negotiating table that gets us a portion. 1092 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,400 Speaker 6: Of And I want to just offer some clarity to this. 1093 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 6: I did not say that we can't have it. I 1094 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 6: said I want to be clear. 1095 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 5: No, you talked about the agenda where it's coming. 1096 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 4: Clear about how we get there. 1097 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 6: I brought up those other agendas because we've been asking 1098 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 6: for it for too long, but the demands have gone unanswered. 1099 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 6: I'm just saying make sure that in our ass like, 1100 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 6: we want this on a platform. Here's how we get here, 1101 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 6: so we manage expectations. People end up really disappointed because 1102 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 6: they didn't know that it took an Act of Congress, 1103 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 6: or that if you did do an executive action and 1104 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,799 Speaker 6: the Supreme Court overturned it a la student loan debt, right, Like, 1105 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 6: if that can actually happen, if you do something bold 1106 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 6: and progressive, normally it gets undermined by the Supreme Court. 1107 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,200 Speaker 1: I think that's so important the way you laid that out, Angelo, 1108 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,640 Speaker 1: because a lot of people don't know. And I love 1109 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 1: that you were like, go to her website because her 1110 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,239 Speaker 1: policy agenda is up there. But in terms and thank 1111 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,360 Speaker 1: you Robin for tuning in and offering your question. I 1112 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 1: think they are introducing her ideas, yes, right, she has 1113 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 1: like ideas about it, and I think there are some 1114 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 1: big ideas. You know, the first time home buyer program 1115 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 1: that Vice President Harris introduced on the trail twenty five 1116 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars tax credits as a shortage of available homes 1117 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: to keep prices high. Under an economic plan that she 1118 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: outlined in August, she pitched tax breaks for home buyers 1119 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 1: who build starter homes and even those who rehabilitate older 1120 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: housing stock. I mean that helps with things like blight 1121 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: in the country. 1122 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 7: Those are big ideas. 1123 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,560 Speaker 1: You talked about the tax credit, and I know that's 1124 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: a big thing for you, Andrew, but six thousand dollars 1125 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 1: ain't nothing to need. 1126 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 7: That for a lot of the. 1127 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: Taxes on tips being eliminated. Now, I will acknowledge this 1128 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 1: is an area where she and forty five agree. This 1129 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: was a policy that, yes, if this was something that 1130 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 1: he introduced, well, you'll correct me. But my understanding is 1131 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 1: he did introduce this, that he would eliminate tax on 1132 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 1: tips for workers. From everything I've read and from soundbites 1133 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 1: I've seen, my understanding was that he introduced that. 1134 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 4: She did as an idea, as. 1135 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 1: An idea, not as a policy, exactly something that he 1136 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 1: said on the trail out of pocket drug costs. She 1137 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 1: would cap that at two thousand dollars a year for 1138 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 1: everyone insulin pays. My mother is diabetic, insulent copays. She 1139 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 1: would cap it at thirty five dollars a month. That's 1140 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 1: a big idea healthcare. When she ran for president in 1141 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, she proposed a six month paid family medical leave. 1142 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 1: That's a very big idea. That is a very ambitious policy. 1143 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,920 Speaker 1: The United States is a handful of nations who doesn't 1144 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 1: have that policy. A senator, she co sponsored the Medicaid 1145 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,360 Speaker 1: for All bill, of course, Senator Bernie Sanders introduced that, 1146 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 1: but she supported it. She has not been touting that 1147 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 1: since becoming the nominee, but what she has said is 1148 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 1: that she's focused on expanding access to reproductive rights and 1149 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 1: lowering prescription drug costs. So that's something to consider. I 1150 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 1: do want to dis point out the National Party platform. 1151 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a Democrat, but I vote with Democrats, but 1152 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm not a talking head for the party. Just to 1153 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,240 Speaker 1: be clear, but the DNC's platform supports Medicaid expansion and 1154 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 1: pushes Congress to allow millions to use coverage similar to Medicaid, 1155 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 1: even in states that haven't expanded the program. So, again 1156 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 1: to Angelo's point, some of these programs are a part 1157 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: of an agenda. They do exist somewhere, but it would 1158 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: take an act of Congress to an act them. And 1159 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 1: that's why those down ballot races matter, and that's why 1160 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 1: there is no such thing as an off election year. 1161 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 1: Is it time for another break? 1162 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 4: It's definitely time for a break, and hopefully we can 1163 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:36,919 Speaker 4: break run onto a mini pod. 1164 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 1: But carry on, but we have one more question. Did 1165 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: we take all of your requests? Yeah, we do have 1166 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: another question. 1167 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,400 Speaker 5: I say real quick before we get question. And that 1168 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 5: is big difference between the two plans is that Thomps 1169 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,960 Speaker 5: Trumps system sets it up so that basically big corporations 1170 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 5: can get can reclassify their workers, pay nothing to them, 1171 00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:00,280 Speaker 5: and then get a rite off for those workers, allow 1172 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,480 Speaker 5: their taxes to be sad, which is why commonly Compare 1173 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 5: compares it with minimum wage increase based minimum wage increase 1174 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 5: and no taxes on tips. And there's some other differences too, 1175 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:10,280 Speaker 5: but I wanted at least get in one. 1176 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 7: No, I think that's important. 1177 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad you did, and clarify for the people we 1178 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: keep saying they have the same. Okay, on the other 1179 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 1: side of this break, we'll take up your break. 1180 01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. 1181 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,480 Speaker 6: All right, everybody, welcome home again. We are almost to 1182 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 6: the close of our show. But before we go, you guys, 1183 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 6: I really would hope we would talk about it in 1184 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 6: this episode. Who shot you Donald Trump edition? And and 1185 01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 6: what happened on his golf course or what didn't happen 1186 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 6: on the golf course. And and I also and I 1187 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 6: mean no jokes aside, it was a serious joke, you know, 1188 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 6: issue made it. The part that's a joke certainly is 1189 01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,200 Speaker 6: them blaming this ramp up rhetoric on Democrats and then 1190 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 6: the retort being why nobody shot at Joe Biden or 1191 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 6: Kamala Harris. I definitely want to get into that and 1192 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 6: talk about the dangers of rhetoric. We see it with 1193 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 6: the Haitian migrants. Some of the things they're experiencing is 1194 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 6: very clear that when they say something targeting a group 1195 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,440 Speaker 6: of people, even our friends, even us, Tiff and Andrew, 1196 01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 6: we know what the repercussions are of those words. There 1197 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 6: are there's violence and death threats on the other side 1198 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 6: of that. So I want to talk about that on 1199 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,640 Speaker 6: the mini pod if they're mini pod. I was hoping so, 1200 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 6: because we already are dropped every Monday, and I don't 1201 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 6: know that people know that we actually do these mini pods. 1202 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 6: I mean a lot of y'all are watching, but I 1203 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 6: think some people say, I didn't even know it was 1204 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 6: about a minipods, So yeah, I love that for a 1205 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,000 Speaker 6: minipod idea, so you'll be able to catch fat every 1206 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 6: Monday Pods. 1207 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:49,520 Speaker 8: I love it. 1208 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 6: Well, that's very good. And then at the meantime we 1209 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 6: can have our little calls to action. Mine is going 1210 01:01:54,240 --> 01:02:00,440 Speaker 6: to be very self serving and it comes from my 1211 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 6: bias of working, working on, growing up working on, and 1212 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 6: growing up on Capitol Hill.

Diversify your news diet. I 1245 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:39,960 Speaker 1: have started watching. 1246 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 4: No No, No, but I watched. 1247 01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: BBC News in the morning. I also watch something. It 1248 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 1: comes on PBS and it's NHK Newsline and it's really 1249 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 1: about news that impacts Asia. But they talk about like 1250 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 1: all kinds kind of things that you just don't hear 1251 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: in Western media. I also will watch Christian I'm impoor 1252 01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 1: she has a show on People Yes, and I swear 1253 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 1: I find like I'm so much smarter when I'm not 1254 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: watching the echo chambers of our foolishness, and so we 1255 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 1: think so well, I feel more informed, I shouldn't say smarter. 1256 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 1: I feel more informed. I feel like, Wow, I had 1257 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:24,960 Speaker 1: no idea because they talk about things that are happening 1258 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,400 Speaker 1: here in America, but also things from a global perspective. 1259 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,880 Speaker 1: But you also realize how what happens here in America 1260 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,040 Speaker 1: has so much impact on the rest of the world. 1261 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,200 Speaker 1: And that's why when you go to other countries, they 1262 01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: can tell you who the Secretary of State was five 1263 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 1: administrations ago, because what happens here impacts them. So I 1264 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 1: encourage people tune out these morning shows that they got 1265 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: y'all convinced that millions of people tune into The Devil 1266 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: is a lie, They're not, so start Yeah, and even here, 1267 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 1: like tune into NLP every week.

And 1271 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: Andrew's point, this shit ain't normal, so let's stop treating 1272 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 1: it like it's normal, and let's have real, authentic conversation. 1273 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 1: And we do that here every week and until they 1274 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: start having real, authentic conversation. They don't deserve our dollars 1275 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 1: or our views. With the exception I got to say 1276 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,840 Speaker 1: of our girl Joy Anne Reid, because Joy keeps it 1277 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,479 Speaker 1: up but every night seven pm MSNBC.
