But the comments are all over the place 29 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: because sometimes the comments are like, oh my god, can 30 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: Andrew get a word in? And then other comments are 31 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: like Andrew, stop interrupting.

Thank you? 91 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about that. A lot of what 92 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: we're witnessing happening here in America is casting a very 93 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: dark chattel across the globe. I got a chance to 94 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: speak with French journalist Rikaya Diallo about what she's witnessing 95 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: and really how the rest of the globe is looking 96 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: at America right now. So, and Andrew, you were really 97 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: so well versed and well spoken on foreign policy. So 98 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: I'm curious your thought. 99 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: I actually want to I want to get into yours. 100 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: I mean, we saw the election of a new Canadian 101 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: prime minister, Yes, an election that turned on its head, 102 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: frankly on the words of Donald Trump. This was a party, 103 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: the more liberal party of the Canadian government, trust Justin Trudeau, 104 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: the previous who is that is? 105 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: So do y'all see why we yell at Andrew? 106 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: Do you see what is going on? 107 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: Somebody has somebody has gotten into my computer and my phones. 108 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: But let's get into Yeah, the global stuff is interesting, 109 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: but I do think we should start domestically. So, and 110 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: I have questions for you about the topic that you 111 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: wanted to get into. So, but we'd also have a 112 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: viewer question. So do you want to get into your 113 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: topic or do you want to hear from the viewer first? 114 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: I would you know you have prioritized hearing from viewers, 115 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: and I love to hear from viewers. And I think 116 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: during a mini pod we did a little while back, 117 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: or maybe it was in the main episode, we had 118 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: solicited feedback around whether or not we should platform sort 119 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: of conservative guest conservative. 120 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 3: Hell, yeah, I would love to. 121 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: Hear again some of the continuing rolling feedback we've been 122 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: getting from people on that. 123 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: Let's do that, all right, producer. 124 00:05:49,120 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 9: Nick journalists broadcast journalists lived in LA And the reason 125 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 9: why you guys needed you interviews is. 126 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 7: The episode you just had about the breakdown of the 127 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 7: exit polls and why some black. 128 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 6: Folks voted for Trump. 129 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 7: It's exactly why you need to interview. 130 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 9: It's amazing, the amazing conversation. Okay, you need to hear more. 131 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 7: It's cool to hear you guys talk manner, go back 132 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 7: and forth, but you need other voices on your show 133 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 7: that can challenge you guys and also bring the different 134 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 7: perspective and expertise. So that's my two cents. Keep it up, 135 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 7: by bye. 136 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 10: As far as the opposition of voices go, I mean, 137 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 10: I get, you know, it's always good to hear like 138 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 10: a well rounded amount of people speaking. But I think 139 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 10: the criteria should be, like, you know, if you maybe 140 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 10: like if you're not a reparationist, you know, reparations in 141 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 10: some form, like if you don't believe that black folks 142 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 10: are owed anything for being the financial backbone of this 143 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 10: country before the Industrial Revolution. I think that should be 144 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 10: the criteria and not let people on but I digress. 145 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 10: Hope to see y'all soon and happy to be welcomed home. 146 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: I like that, brother, welcome home. 147 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: Indeed, you know, these are two comments that obviously over 148 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks that we hadn't gotten a chance to. 149 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: So first of all, thank you guys for taking the 150 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: time to record your thoughts, your comments, your questions, and 151 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: I want to encourage all of our listeners and viewers 152 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: out there to do the same. We say welcome home 153 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: with intention because this is our platform as much as 154 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: it's your platform, and we want this to be an 155 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: open discourse and open dialogue, the discussion that we have 156 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: with community to understand our fellow countrymen, and for our 157 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: fellow countrymen to weigh in as well. So this show 158 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: may center three black voices, it is not exclusively four 159 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: black voices. That is for everyone to listen and comment 160 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: and weigh in, and all power to all the people 161 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: all the time. So having said that, Andrew, I want 162 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: to start with this idea with the first guy who 163 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: said he was a journalist. I'm curious he says he's 164 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: a broadcast journalist, so you know that's a man after 165 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: my own heart. I'm curious what uh, what outlet he's 166 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: with and what he does. But this is because I 167 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: tend to look at everything through the journalist lens, and 168 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: it's not just what I do professionally, it really is 169 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: who I am. Like you, people can say you're a politician, 170 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: that's not just what you do. It's who you are 171 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: in terms of having a an endless appetite for understanding 172 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: how this world and society functions, but also wanting to 173 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: live in service to people. It is very much who 174 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: you are. It's what you do professionally, but it's who 175 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: you are. I feel the same way about journalism. And 176 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: so the frightening thing when he says, oh, to understand 177 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: why these you know, black people voted Trump? I think 178 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: if there's a difference between having curiosity about something and 179 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: intellectual curiosity, So yes, I too was curious about why 180 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: was there small sects of black men who seem to 181 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: have peeled off and voted for Trump. They were not 182 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: a large enough demographic to really represent community, but certainly 183 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: they are my community, and I care about them enough 184 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: to care. When you have intellectual curiosity, how you might 185 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: satisfy that is. I'm a reader, so I'm going to 186 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: read on everything starting from one hundred years ago. When 187 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: did these two parties start to shift? When did the 188 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: Democrat and Republican Party start to enterchage? Because you hear 189 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: people all the time it was Republicans who freed the slaves, 190 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: that ridiculous. 191 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: Question that people like. 192 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 5: To know, right yeah, and then a moment exactly. 193 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: Precisely, then I want to read about the new deal. 194 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: I want to take myself through the decades and see well, 195 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: and then I hear them saying economic policy, So let 196 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: me look at their economic policy. What is the MAGA 197 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: group offering that might be appealing to these men? Then 198 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: let me look at projects twenty twenty five. What are 199 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: the things that they're talking about. Then let me look 200 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: at some of this sounds on my own. I'm not 201 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: going to present this to our audience on my own. 202 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: I'm going to decipher all of these things as a journalist. 203 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: When I have a well rounded understanding, I can wrap 204 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: my arms around this fully. Only then can I responsibly 205 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: put this before the one hundred thousand plus people who 206 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: listen to our platform. I am not, as a journalist, 207 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: going to irresponsibly because I have my own I want 208 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: to know what it is put that before an audience. 209 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: I think I have a responsibility to first satisfy my 210 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: own intellectual curiosity privately and responsibly, So I don't know 211 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: that my immediate instinct would be some rando. Then they 212 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: want to vote for Trump, let me interview him. I've 213 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: seen the legacy media do that and they will have 214 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: you know, no Diemanu ras U OFCNN, But I saw 215 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: him interviewing a woman and she was saying, well, I 216 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: like Kamala Harris, and I, you know, could vote for her, 217 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure if the country is ready for 218 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: that type of candidate, and he just kind of let 219 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: it go. And I'm thinking, well, you're the reporter, what 220 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: type of can I knew that she was saying, but 221 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: you ask your reporter what exactly is she saying? Or 222 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: as people, are you a registered voter? Have you ever voted? 223 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: When you say you love Trump's policy? What policy specifically? 224 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: Talk us through that and you don't see enough of that. 225 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: But when you are well informed, you can have that 226 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: that type of intellectual exchange. So I'm not so excited 227 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: to put people like that to platform people like that. 228 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: I have other thoughts, but I want to hear hear 229 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: your thoughts, because I think the media just. 230 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 2: As follow up to what you just said, as as 231 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: in your in your with your journalism hat, and as 232 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: a person who has done streak interviews as well as 233 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: anchor chair interviews, over your over your your storied. 234 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: Work life before, have you ever. 235 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 2: Been in the position where you're interviewing, let's just say, 236 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: a LA person, regular, you know, folks on the street, 237 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: and your mind is telling you, I know I should 238 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 2: follow up, but I don't want to put this person 239 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: on the spot ever, and so you've pulled back, always 240 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: gone all the way. 241 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to go. It's my responsibility. My responsibility is 242 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: always to the audience, to the viewers, even when we're 243 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: talking and you know, obviously I know what the DLJ 244 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: is or you know, I know what the CBO is, 245 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: but my responsibility is always to the people listening and watching, 246 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: and so I'm always you know, let's stop for a 247 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: second and let's explain this. And the reason is I 248 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: remember consuming news sure, and it felt like, well, they're 249 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: saying all these acronyms that I don't really understand because 250 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: I didn't always. I remember being nineteen trying to get 251 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: in this industry and it felt like not only were 252 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: they not talking to me, sometimes they were talking about 253 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: me with me as an audience, and there was no 254 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: one who looked like me, no one providing proper context, 255 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: no one who thought I was worthy of saying, well, 256 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: let me explain the function. What does the United Nations do? 257 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: What is the America's role in it? You know, why 258 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: is it based in New York? What is the DLJ function? Exactly? 259 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: We just don't take time to explain that. And so 260 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: I think that's why you see a real drop off 261 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: in legacy media. And it just, I don't know, it 262 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: feels like a bunch of For so long, it was 263 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: a bunch of white folks sitting around talking about things 264 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: that we didn't understand, and it almost felt intentional that 265 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: we're going to keep this high bar, and especially because 266 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: we were so kept out of the political process until 267 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: the mid sixties, and it just felt like, wouldn't you 268 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: want your audience to understand, wouldn't it helped you to 269 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: stop and take thirty seconds. I tried to do that 270 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: on my show. But I'll tell you my frustration, Andrew, 271 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: because you and I have both done the cable news circuit, 272 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: and I feel like I have this, as do you. 273 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: We have this breast of knowledge that we can talk about. 274 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: I question people who describe themselves as an intellectual. I 275 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: do not describe myself as an intellectual. I don't consider 276 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: myself an intellectual, but I do have curious. 277 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: Think intellectuals who are true say. 278 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: I'm an intellectual exactly exactly what I have is a 279 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: very hungry appetite for information. And so I do like 280 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: talking to people who I consider intellectuals, and I do 281 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: respectfully consider you an intellectual. I know you may not 282 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: describe yourself that way, but I do. 283 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: One of the things that I think we acknowledge is 284 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: that all of us sort of enter this conversation not 285 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: putting a head on of oh, well, I'm a journalist 286 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: this moment, or I'm a public servant this moment, or 287 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: I'm an activist leader you know, of movement this moment. 288 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: But we're indivisible and who we are is who we are, 289 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: and we may be able to, you know, chill a 290 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: little bit more in this setting, or be more amped 291 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: up in this setting, but as a person, we're not 292 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: putting on masks regarding the fields that we've chosen. We are, 293 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: We're settled into that, into that existence, and that existence 294 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: shows up wherever we show up. And in that you know, 295 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: in the Van Tiffany you were saying, how as an 296 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: observer of in a real student of information, as a journalist, 297 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: that sometimes you felt like journalists were deliberately having conversations 298 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: over your head as a viewer. And I got to 299 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: tell you, I think it's probably true in every field 300 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: and in every industry. I give examples sometimes around politicians 301 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: who say, this is just more complicated than what you're saying, 302 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: and well, that's just a little harder, And that really 303 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: generally is a way a tool I think people use 304 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: to protect themselves as a shield frankly within their comfort place. 305 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 3: This room is for journalists. 306 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: You must be credentialed in this way and a little 307 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: to partique in this conversation. 308 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: And in truth media. 309 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: Information right now was so democratized you can get it 310 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: from anywhere anyhow, confirmed, not confirmed, rumor meal however you 311 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: want it. And so there's been a bit of a breakdown. 312 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: But generally, I think people use what they have is information, 313 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: the work that they do in a lot of ways 314 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 2: as a cudgel to beat other people back from it 315 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: and to protect that space for this sort of sacred 316 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: group elected media, even I would say, organizers and leaders 317 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: of movement, even in some ways move in that way, 318 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: and none of us are served by it. So to 319 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: the point I understood the first respondent that we had 320 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: who mentioned we need them more round it, I just 321 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 2: want to say, you may not hear me articulate the 322 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: positions of the right, but I fully understand because similar 323 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: to what you laid out, Tiffany, we've read and vetted 324 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: through what's real and what isn't about this whole thing 325 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: and made it make sense for ourselves. And now what 326 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 2: I'm telling you is my hard earned position with a 327 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: complete understanding of what the other side happens to be selling. 328 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 3: Take Project twenty twenty five. 329 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: They wrote it out for all of us to read, 330 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: to see, to understand, to comprehend. 331 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 5: When they talked about loyalty, oaths. 332 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: And hiring people into this government who are fied down 333 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: to one man, I knew what that was. I didn't 334 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: sign up for that, and that isn't what a democracy is. 335 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: We're not a culture personality as a democracy, and democracies 336 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: were built to protect the minority, not to trounce over 337 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: the minority. So I may not be articulating that in 338 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: probably twenty five they said X, Y, and Z, and 339 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: this is what they believe and where it comes from. 340 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: But I've consumed that and the deciding of where it 341 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: is that I come down on any particular position. My 342 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 2: thing about conservative guests, and I don't have an opposition 343 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: at all to conservative guests, But you can't just be 344 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 2: out here spewing something that sounds different than maybe what 345 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: you're getting from the three of us and automatically that 346 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 2: that is a conversation that I ought to be platformed. 347 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I got a relative who, 348 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 2: in many ways can be described in some ways as 349 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: sort of the He's going to be the opposite side 350 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: of the coin that anybody else is on. If the 351 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: majority of the room is on this one, he's absolutely 352 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: going to be contraran and on the other side. And 353 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 2: I remember as a youngster and school thinking like you 354 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: talking about welfare people and people's you know, government giving 355 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 2: away da da da da. And I can't think of 356 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 2: a day I've ever encountered y'all. W well, y'all haven't 357 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: been on the take, well you have, you know, been 358 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 2: the ones getting and receiving, and yet we're supposed to 359 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 2: like entertain this conversation. I remember getting to the point 360 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: as a young person saying, I'm not even gonna engage anymore. Yeah, 361 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: because it doesn't make sense. I can't believe that you 362 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 2: believe what you're saying. And I feel that way about 363 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: a lot of conservative activists that we hear these days, 364 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: is that there's an acting happening, and that what I'm 365 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: getting is this mask of like, oh high its bidder 366 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: is where I'm at, and this is their positions and 367 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 2: I'm spewing it now versus a real deep sense that 368 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: I'm getting the honest truth about what you feel, what 369 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 2: you think, and why you hold that position. 370 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: We'll pick up on the rests after this next breaks. 371 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 4: They turned. 372 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 6: TI. 373 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: I mean, Angela, I'm really curious whether or not how 374 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: you've processed through. I think the audience probably knows well 375 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: that you've been an advocate for you know, having diverse voices, 376 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 2: you know, lifted up so that we can understand folks better. 377 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: I'm just curious what vet do you put on, what 378 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: that looks like, and how we make sure that conversation 379 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: when we have them, are really valuable ones that promote growth. 380 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 8: So I I don't know that I agree that there 381 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 8: has to be a bar. Maybe the bar is that 382 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 8: you don't lie on black people. Maybe the bar is 383 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 8: that you're not super insulting and disrespectful to us. Maybe 384 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 8: somebody has some really interesting reason for why they don't 385 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 8: support reparations. If we if reparation, being a reparationist is 386 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 8: the criteria. There are black people who many of our 387 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 8: folks have voted for, who when they get out publicly, 388 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 8: don't say they support reparations. Some of them have never 389 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 8: signed on to HR forty in the House. That's the bar. 390 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 8: It's a lot of black folks who won't be able 391 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 8: to be included. I'd rather take the position of and 392 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 8: this I think goes back to conversations we've had in 393 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 8: the past tip about convincing. I would rather have them 394 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 8: on the platform to try to convince them, or at 395 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 8: least try to understand why would they not support making 396 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 8: sure that black people are put on equal footing. So 397 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 8: I'm sure there's a crisiia that can be developed. There's 398 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 8: probably an audience member that has already done some of that. 399 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 8: When we're learning, certainly on this tour is that people 400 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 8: are doing a lot of work. Folks just don't know 401 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 8: about it. So maybe if you have that set of Crisier, 402 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 8: you could send it over to us to our Instagram 403 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 8: at Native Lampot. 404 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: I think one of the things I fear a little 405 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: bit too is I think we've developed an honest exchange 406 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: with each other, and I think we've done so far 407 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: with the guests that we have had, you know, had 408 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 2: an honest exchange. Granted there's not been a lot of 409 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: points of departure on probably the big theme issues. But 410 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 2: my fear is is that I would hate for us 411 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: to have, you know, the relationship with our audience is 412 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: having this discourse and then we basically have propaganda sort 413 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 2: of sprinkled and that doesn't end up being a really 414 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 2: true leveled conversation, but more of like here are my 415 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: talking points, and then here is what I think our 416 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: you know, my side stands for, and then here are 417 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: the if there's a way to be you know, for 418 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: us to get beneath in our conversations. And I felt 419 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 2: this way about Cable News Angela. I don't know if 420 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: it ever hit you this way, you know, when we 421 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 2: would be invited on as guests of this show or 422 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 2: this show. It's like, I'm having this conversation that I 423 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 2: think is a conversation and I'm earnestly, you know, turning 424 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: to Kevin Jennings or you know, or or whomever, and 425 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: that we may be making away with each other, but 426 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: in truth, you. 427 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 3: Hadn't heard a damn thing I've said. 428 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: The thing that you just spewed out had nothing to 429 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: do with the conversation that we're on. But maybe you 430 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 2: got a point across, you know, for your side, And 431 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 2: to me, those are just so disrespectful to the viewership 432 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: the listenership that that we would we would insult you 433 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: enough with a propaganda fest over leveling. 434 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 3: This thing so that we can have a real discourse. 435 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think no answer. 436 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: Well, I just I think that's why this platform is important, 437 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: because the three of us can have a deeper, more 438 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: nuanced discussion. We have such a breath of knowledge and 439 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: expertise coming from three very different backgrounds and areas where 440 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: we can get into that, you know, where we can 441 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: have a healthy exchange of intellectual ideas and ideology. And 442 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: on cable news, it's like everyone is looking for that 443 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: viral moment, and so you know, I feel like I'm 444 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: robbed of the opportunity to actually have deep exchange, to 445 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: actually inform, to actually put things in context, to contextualize 446 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: some of these things. I don't know how you have 447 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: strong opinions about tariffs when you don't understand our relationship 448 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: with China, when you don't understand the global supply chain, 449 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: when you don't don't understand the purchasing power of other countries. 450 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how you have an informed discussion about 451 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: our national security when you don't understand the global threats 452 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: to the United States and the global threat that the 453 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: United States is to other places. So trying to fit 454 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: things into like sixty seconds and people want that, like 455 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: I went off on you and then it went viral 456 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: and now we all going all over the place. It 457 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: just feels so reductionist to the moment we're in and 458 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: here at least we get to, you know, deeply explore 459 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: some things. And what I notice about our audience, which 460 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm so appreciative, is there's rarely ever been where our 461 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: audience is. I agree whole heartily with Angela, I agree 462 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: whole heartily with Sippy. I agree whole heartly with Andrew. 463 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: There is always a pretty even collection of people who 464 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: agree with us in each way. But even the people 465 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: who may vehemently disagree with something I said, they always 466 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: close with but I love tim. If they disagree with Angela, 467 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: they're like, girl, I don't know about that, but you know, 468 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: I love you, or like Andrew, you drive me crazy, 469 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: you got it wrong, but I love you like it 470 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: is a discussion in love. And that just feels so 471 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: much better to me than platforming some of these you know, 472 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: half witted people who are just there to regurgitate Donald 473 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: Trump's nutsack. Really, at the end of the day, you know, 474 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: it's like, just stop it, you know. And I don't 475 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: even think it frustrates me to put be put on 476 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: the same level as some of these people. You know, 477 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,239 Speaker 1: it's like we are not on equal footing. Like you 478 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: cannot talk to me about the uties because you don't 479 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: even know who that is. But you want to like 480 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: regurgitate something that you saw on Fox News and you 481 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: have no idea. It used to drive me crazy when 482 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: Angela first started doing television, and you know, she worked 483 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, been the executive director for a legislative 484 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: body for the rest of Black Caucus and it's on 485 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: there opposite someone who writes a blog. You know, like, 486 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: have no clue about it. Angel You were a gubernatorial 487 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: candidate and you're sitting across from somebody who was a 488 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: junior press sect on somebody's campaign. It's not They're not 489 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: like us, you know, it's not the same. So that 490 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: kind of thing just just frustrates me. Angela. You were 491 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: talking about the state of the tour and we we 492 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: can we can delete this and we don't want to 493 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: talk about it. But I think some of the things 494 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: that you were saying about the tour and some of 495 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: the voices that you wanted to include, to me that 496 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: that was a very meaty discussion because your perspective has 497 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: been organizing by addition, not subtraction, and you know, I 498 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: think that is uh, it's gonna make some people uncomfortable, 499 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, and it makes me some of it makes 500 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: me uncomfortable, But that is like those are the to me, 501 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: that is a more meati conversation too than hearing from 502 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know that I agree with everything, but 503 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: I just think the point you were making was valid. 504 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: And so you y'all are saying you just want to 505 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: talk about or just want to talk to people you 506 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: agree with and talk to the people who agree with us, 507 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: and that's not really organizing. And I think maybe that's 508 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: what some of the viewers are trying to suggest as well. 509 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: But I just think that's a different level of philosophical 510 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: discussion that we get to have here. All right, Well, Andrew, 511 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: I agree, Okay, Andrew. 512 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 8: I was like, I don't know if you were asking 513 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 8: me something or disagreeing, but I agree with that for sure. 514 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, Andrew, you wanted to get into the I had 515 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: questions for you about your topic. 516 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll try to tee it up in this 517 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: smaller way, which is simply to say, we all warned 518 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: about Project twenty twenty five. We went through, we did 519 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 2: an episode on it. It is very clear that Russell 520 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: Vogue is one thousand percent committed to his mission, and 521 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 2: whether people know it or not, this is a person 522 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: Elon Musk is being sidelined. 523 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 3: Mind. 524 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 5: But all the reporting that I have seen, the man 525 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 5: behind the curtain all the while is still Russell Vogue. 526 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 5: And so this person who is little known, little advertised, 527 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 5: little talked about, is deeply censed in the federal and 528 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 5: knowledge about the federal system. He worked for a US senator, 529 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 5: he's been a policy director, he's worked in the in 530 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 5: the in the nuanced details of budgeting of the federal government. 531 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 5: Which is what frightens me the most about his position 532 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 5: within this administration and the power that he's ascended to, 533 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 5: because he's exactly the type of person who knows how 534 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 5: to bring it all down, to bring it all in. 535 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 2: If you're committed to that end and you spent the 536 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 2: time studying and understanding and knowing how to do it, 537 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 2: it ought to frighten and shake all of us to 538 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 2: the court to know that there is that kind of 539 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: a fox in the hen house. And what I mean 540 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: about the hen house, I mean the henhouse of democracy. 541 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 3: The room of. 542 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: The Constitution, the underbelly of statutes and laws that then 543 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: govern this democracy. This is a person who understands that 544 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 2: hook letter verse. And so now we read in Project 545 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five about the loyalty oh to the Trump 546 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: administration and they want federal government employees to be mostly 547 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: fidel to him and not to the Constitution. And so 548 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: what is about to happen based off of this executive 549 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: order that the President signed in April. That has now 550 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: advanced forward and it is expected to be part of 551 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 2: a compromise on the budget that the House Speaker is 552 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: going to lead. Is it will transform what are fifty 553 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 2: thousand currently civil service positions. These are people who get 554 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: hired into the government, they work for protect a respective 555 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 2: part of the government, and their fidelity ultimately is to 556 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: the Constitution, to the laws of this country to enact 557 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: what has passed through the Congress and signed by the president. Well, 558 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: they want to change the those positions so that they're 559 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 2: no longer equal opportunity positions for anyone who is qualified 560 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: to apply and. 561 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 3: Get hired too. 562 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 2: You must be loyal to Donald Trump or the president 563 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: if you will, and your job is to enact the 564 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: agenda of the president without regard to any of those 565 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: other factors. That's problematic because it's those other factors that 566 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 2: make what the president does either. 567 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 4: Legal or illegal. 568 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: And if you, as a person, are able to unilaterally 569 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: decide that all we do is follow the edicts of 570 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 2: the President without regard to the law, what's right to 571 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: the codes and statutes of the country, you, in my opinion, 572 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: are no longer civilly servant to the people you're civilly 573 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: servant to a man, you are servant to an individual. Well, 574 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: these fifty thousand positions that are about to be transitioned 575 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: is just the start of where they ultimately want to 576 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: go with the over two million federal employees, which is 577 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 2: to make them again holy oil, to the individual occupant 578 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: of the White House. Whereas our democracy has been built 579 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: on and has stood not perfectly because I got my critiques, 580 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: but has stood largely on civil servants who follow the law, 581 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: the constitution and will absolutely disobey in unlawful order. And 582 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: if we're now changing that to you obey whatever the 583 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 2: order is from the commander in chief, from the President 584 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 2: of the United States, without regard to the other stuff, 585 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: we are well then on the way to fascism because 586 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 2: to a system of democracy that doesn't look anything like 587 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 2: democracy at all, but more like that of a king, 588 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: a dictator, or a tyrant. 589 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Literally everything you're saying, because we've obviously heard about 590 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: this before he was actually even elected. And then when 591 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: he took over, there were employees government employees saying that 592 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: they were asked about their fealty. Loyalty, said Donald Trump. 593 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: And I just wonder what exactly is that litmus test. 594 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: And this is just something that we've not seen before. 595 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: And I think I think people are so tuned out 596 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: to the extent because we cannot fathom losing rights, you know, 597 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: like people have never we've never been confronted with the 598 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: concept of losing rights. And if you are building an army, essentially, 599 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: if you are supplanting everybody within the federal government to 600 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: be these loyalists, I mean, that is what you have 601 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: in Russia with Putin, That's what you have in Turkey 602 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: with Erdowan, That's what you have. Even in China, I 603 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: would see, that's what you have in uh uh, the 604 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: the other dictator I can't wake. 605 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's Cuba. 606 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 2: We've got it also where we are now exporting American 607 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 2: citizens to prisons country exactly where you've got a strong 608 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: man figure. Everybody's lord to the strong man figure, and 609 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: and lo and behold, there is zero accountability, and then 610 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: people start to regret the kind of system that then 611 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 2: takes hold again. All of these people were elected as populist. 612 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: First, Yeahan and Turkey, yeah. 613 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but as pop they were the voice 614 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: of the people. And then they got there and it 615 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 2: became very clear that the voice for themselves. 616 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, is that legal? Like I, I don't know that 617 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: the courts are going to hold so I don't know 618 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: what a law is at this point. But is it 619 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: legal to create the fifty thousand positions where you have 620 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: to be loyal to not even the executive branch, but 621 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: the president himself? And if not, where does it? 622 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 2: Like? 623 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: Who is the person that's going to stand between Donald 624 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: Trump and his building? Essentially an army, a workforce of 625 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: loyal federal employees. 626 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: To tivioty is the right question. And unfortunately, the people 627 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: who would normally be the stop gap the Congress, they've 628 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 2: already shown themselves to be head over heels, backless. 629 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 3: You know exactly exactly. 630 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 2: That. 631 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: That's pretty frightening when you think about it, And it 632 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: kind of is the point that I was making around 633 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: a lot of this. We are exporting a lot of populism, 634 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: And it kind of details into Angela what you wanted 635 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: to talk about with the citizens because I do feel 636 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: like Congress has been pretty reckless at this point. But 637 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: curious your thoughts because it's from topic you want to 638 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: talk about. 639 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, I didn't get a chance to pull sound, but 640 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 8: there's some really good sound from this past weekend. Members 641 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 8: of Congress, who including Corey Booker, who a lot of 642 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 8: folks were so proud of for standing on the Senate 643 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 8: floor for more than twenty four hours breaking strom Thurman's record. 644 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 8: He was a part of what they were calling. Some 645 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 8: were calling this, and we're calling a teaching this past 646 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 8: weekend on Sunday, and so they sat on the steps 647 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 8: and I'm not gonna lie to y'all. The image that 648 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 8: I had in my mind was Sesame Street. I don't 649 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 8: know why I was given Sesame Street vibes, that it 650 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 8: was given Sesame Street vibes. 651 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 5: The teaching they were teaching, Yeah, maybe. 652 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 8: But I just it felt a lot softer than his 653 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 8: initial approach. But the circumstances have gotten so much more severe. 654 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 8: There are a lot of people who come out of 655 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 8: traditional movement work that really liked what they did, and 656 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 8: I'm not saying I didn't. And the worst part is, 657 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 8: I hate to be a person that criticizes the thing, 658 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 8: and then I don't have the alternative. So I don't 659 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 8: know what the alternative is. I don't know that it's 660 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 8: another press conference, I don't know that it's going on 661 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 8: more shows, and it may be a combination. 662 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 6: Of all of these things. 663 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 8: I think that what they're really wrestling with, which is 664 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 8: something we wrestle with every week too, is cutting through. 665 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 8: How do you cut through? Why are you talking about 666 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 8: stuff that nobody understands, or your approach is one that 667 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 8: nobody appreciates or you know very few people do, or 668 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 8: you're in that same echo chamber talking to the same 669 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 8: people you always talk to. What are you going to 670 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 8: do to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone? Now, 671 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 8: to be fair, they might have been in comfortable clothes, 672 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 8: but I think they stretch themselves out of their comfort zone, 673 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 8: their safe spaces behind a podium, at a press conference, 674 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 8: on the House floor, you know, debating a bill in 675 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 8: a committee room, right in a markup or a hearing, 676 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 8: asking questions to the other side or to a witness. 677 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 8: So I know they're stretching, but I'm just wondering tactically 678 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 8: if it was the right thing. I really don't have 679 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 8: an answer. I have my initial impression and my like, 680 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 8: I am relentless right now about going to find the one. 681 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 8: I don't know who the one is, but I feel 682 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 8: like I'll know them when I see them. To the 683 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 8: point of losing my voice. It is the person that 684 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 8: does not ordinarily come to the things that we go to. 685 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 8: It is the person that you know would find some 686 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 8: of what we are striving to do uncomfortable. It is 687 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 8: the person that is like, why are you doing that? 688 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 4: Like? 689 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 8: Who cares that person? How do we reach them? Because 690 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 8: that is the person that won this last election. Maybe 691 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 8: they won this last election. 692 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 5: Maybe I'm talking about I stay at home. 693 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 8: That's who I'm talking about, the apathy, Like numerically they 694 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 8: won the election, yes, yes, So I'm saying. 695 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: For those who decided the president, there's a different I 696 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 2: think there's a different equation for the formula of person 697 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: that showed out and decided that Donald Trump should be president. 698 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 8: Again, I'm not talking about them when I'm saying numerically, 699 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 8: I'm talking about the one who stayed home, because numerically 700 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 8: that is who won the election. 701 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 5: But that isn't who's governing. I guess that's where I 702 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 5: love to. 703 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 8: Well kind of because their apathy means that anything goes, 704 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 8: anything goes as the reason why this man is in 705 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 8: the White House. So I hear your point, but I'm 706 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 8: just saying numerically, apathy just the thing that we have 707 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 8: to reach them or we're going to stay here. And 708 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 8: staying here is dangerous for all of us. Whether they 709 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 8: specually chose him, they were apathetic, or they did not 710 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 8: choose him, we're all suffering the same consequence. So how 711 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 8: do we reach the apathetic? How do we reach the 712 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 8: people that said not me, I don't want anything to 713 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 8: do with this. Maybe they weren't apathetic, Maybe they just 714 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 8: chose not to participate. I want to find them. I 715 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 8: am desperately trying to find them. 716 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 2: Is it possible, though, that what they do with the 717 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 2: member of Congress did, frankly, should just be one more 718 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 2: thing that we put on the menu of options that 719 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 2: we get to exercise and trying to figure this thing out, 720 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 2: because I sctually think it's everything all at once, all 721 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 2: the time multiplied. 722 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 3: That's what I think the pushback is. 723 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 2: Because Donald Trump has a big footprint, and unfortunately that 724 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 2: road show that he's got is exactly what traditional cable 725 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 2: news and even traditional news is apt to follow. It 726 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 2: is entertaining by and large for a lot of people 727 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 2: until the consequences show up at your doorstep. That's how 728 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 2: we see these videos of people who went out and 729 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 2: I had a Trump flag, and then I was the 730 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 2: first one laid off, and I didn't think it was 731 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 2: gonna happen, And I'm thinking, are you kidding me? 732 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 3: So it was gonna be good for everybody else? 733 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 2: And you thought everybody else was the person who was 734 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 2: a slacker on the job that wasn't working and deserved 735 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 2: to be fired. But when the slacker on the job 736 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 2: who deserved to be fired showed up to be you, 737 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 2: then this was all a bad choice, a bad decision. 738 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 2: And I just I think his appetite for media, not 739 00:38:53,920 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 2: just consumption but media shaping is so it's so insatiable 740 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 2: that we're not going to beat him at that game. 741 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 2: But we all to be, we ought to be, in 742 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 2: my opinion, fighting on all alternative platforms as well as 743 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 2: on the ones that he's on. So I think it's 744 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 2: everything all at once, all the time multiplied. That's the strategy. 745 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's any I think it's a noble 746 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: effort to talk to apathetic people because there are so 747 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: many right now. But I just want to crystallize the 748 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: point that I don't think apathy won the election, Like 749 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,720 Speaker 1: the math doesn't support that white people won the election. Overwhelmingly, 750 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: like he drove out the highest voter turnout among white 751 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: people since black people got the right to vote. The 752 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: narrative in legacy media has been, you know, people stayed home, 753 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: and you know, I just I cannot put the failure 754 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: in his democracy at our feet. You know, I think 755 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: the overwhelming I didn't say you said that, Angela. I'm 756 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,959 Speaker 1: just making my point, but but go ahead. 757 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 8: No, I just to say, just for clarity, because it 758 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 8: happens a lot on the show, I did not say that. 759 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 8: So I just want to make sure that is not 760 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 8: what people take out of this that I'm saying black 761 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 8: people did it. 762 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 6: I am not. 763 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, just my own individual point that I'm making 764 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: independent of anybody else's point is that white people overwhelmingly 765 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: voted for this man, and they were not confused about it. 766 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: This whole idea of oh well, I didn't like they 767 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: knowingly cast a ballot for this man. And to be honest, 768 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: I don't know how to combat that. I don't know, 769 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: if you know, if we showed up as fourteen percent 770 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: of this society overwhelmingly and you know, again, I know 771 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 1: people are tired to be sound and hopeless, but like, 772 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: I don't know that we have the numbers to change it, 773 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: and I'm just starting to feel like, if this is 774 00:40:54,920 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: what y'all want, then take it. Like I honestly, I like, 775 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: where can we have peace? Where can we have reprieve? 776 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: Where can we live? You know, It's like the jay 777 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: Z line, can I live? If this is what you 778 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,919 Speaker 1: all will choose time and again, then it's just frustrating 779 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 1: to constant have to live in constant battle. And since 780 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: the inception of this country, it feels like there has 781 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: never been a time for peace for black folks. We 782 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: have always had to battle them for something that they 783 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, maybe some people will feign ignorance later and 784 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: say I didn't know, but I have to call out 785 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: bes like, no, you did know. You voted for this 786 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: is what you want. Everything is happening is what you 787 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: wanted to happen, and that's why you cast this ballot. 788 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know if, like when 789 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: we tap into the apathetic, are we tapping into them 790 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: to participate in this system to create a mass exodus 791 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: out of this system to take cover while this system 792 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: works itself out. I just don't I don't even know. 793 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I'm of the point now where I'm 794 00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: like on some build community and communes and go off 795 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: the grid. I don't even know what that looks like, 796 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: but it seems to be that kind of because I 797 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: don't know where this goes next. If we're here at 798 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: barely one hundred days in, where do we go next? 799 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 8: If I may Andrew just really quick on the mass 800 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 8: because I'm not good at maths, so I have to 801 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 8: go back and check my math sometimes. According to this 802 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 8: piece in the Guardian, it says that it is estimated 803 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 8: that close to ninety million Americans, roughly thirty six percent 804 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 8: of the eligible voting age population, did not vote. CNN 805 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 8: has so that's ninety million. So I decided to make 806 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,720 Speaker 8: sure because I know I can be really bad at math. 807 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris obtained seventy five a little over seventy five 808 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 8: million votes. Donald Trump obtained a little over seventy seven 809 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 8: point three million votes. So again, it is estimated that 810 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 8: close to ninety million Americans, roughly thirty six percent of 811 00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 8: the eligible voting age population, did not vote. I'm not 812 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,879 Speaker 8: resting this at the like, there's not even that many 813 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 8: black people. I'm not putting this on black folks. I 814 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 8: am asking and pleading with people to help me find 815 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 8: the folks who are of voting age who did not 816 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 8: participate so we can understand why, so we can change 817 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 8: that system. I don't know that continuing it. I mean, 818 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 8: white folks who voted for Trump definitely did. White folks 819 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 8: who voted against Kamala Harris definitely won the election in 820 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 8: terms of who took the oath of office. But the 821 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 8: people who won by apathy still outpaced Donald Trump and 822 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris. So that to me is the push even 823 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 8: for this tour, there are too many black folks who 824 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 8: are of voting age also who didn't not participate. I 825 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 8: want to reach them first. Those are my people, right, 826 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 8: But I also want to try to tap into why 827 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 8: people could have such an awesome responsibility and not engaged. 828 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 6: And I think think. 829 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, I think your point of 830 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 2: of apathy winning the election is simply it could be 831 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 2: a philosophical difference or a semantical one, because at the 832 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 2: end of the day, where I draw, where I draw 833 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 2: conclusion around who won is who governs. But I understand 834 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 2: the point of how many, what percentage of people chose 835 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 2: not to participate in truth. Every candidate, every political committee, 836 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 2: every pack we can think of, with the exception of 837 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 2: some of what Elon Musk did as a way of 838 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 2: dangling money out to people, if you show up, you 839 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 2: can get one hundred dollars here and a ten thousand 840 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 2: and a million here. Aside from that, all the political 841 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 2: quote smart money is not on going after that ninety 842 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 2: plus million at all. All the political smart money, supposedly, 843 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 2: if you want to call it smart, is going toward 844 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 2: persuading those who you know are on the chessboard and 845 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,319 Speaker 2: will vote, to come out and vote your way. It's 846 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 2: why a lot of campaigns don't put a bunch of 847 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 2: money into voter registration, quite frankly, because they're really not 848 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 2: interested in turning out the unknown. They don't want the 849 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,720 Speaker 2: people who they're not sure how they're going to perform 850 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 2: to actually show up. That's why they make the laws harder. Nobody, 851 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 2: no politician I know, wants unpredictability in the system. They're 852 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 2: very similar to money markets. Money markets hate the unpredicted, 853 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 2: the unpredictable. Politicians governmental initusians those who are competing and 854 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 2: combating for power. They hate the unknown unless the unknown 855 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 2: is really known to them, which is, if I pump 856 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 2: this number and it shows up, they're voting for me. 857 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 2: It used to be going theory that if an election 858 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 2: was a high turnout election, the end result would be 859 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 2: a Democrat would win. That used to be the status 860 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 2: quote for decades. Well guess what Donald Trump enters the formula. 861 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 2: He turns it on his head. And now when we 862 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 2: see high turnout, Democrats get nervous because we believe high 863 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 2: turnout is going to result and Donald Trump and Republicans winning. 864 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 2: That's been a topsy turvey of a system that I've 865 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 2: understood and that I've studied, and that I've competed in 866 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 2: for over two decades as a as an elected official 867 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 2: myself or a candidate for election. 868 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 3: And the math. 869 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 2: The worst part about the math is that the money 870 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 2: is not going to follow going for the person who 871 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,479 Speaker 2: you're not sure how they're going to perform. In fact, 872 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 2: I think the money is going to exacerbate itself on 873 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 2: the side of if you are a voter who I 874 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 2: can guarantee that if I turn you out, you're going 875 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 2: to vote my way. That's where the big money and 876 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 2: the smart money is going to continue to be. And 877 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 2: that's going to be undemocratizing to that ninety plus million 878 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 2: and all who join them afterwards, because they's still not 879 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 2: going to feel heard, seen or reflected in the government, 880 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 2: because the government is going to get further and further 881 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 2: estranged from them. And that's exactly the way the systems 882 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: of power that turn want it to work. 883 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: It just feels like, because we even the numbers when 884 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: you disaggregate that by race, he had the highest number 885 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: of whites, Like he turned out white voters intentionally with 886 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: his racism, with his tropes. He turned out this was 887 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 1: the third highest turnout for black voters. You know what 888 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: I mean. It's like, no, we participated, not all of us, 889 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: and surely and even our voting turnout in general, which 890 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: I think speaks to your point, Angela, like we've never 891 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: had most of our population turnout when it comes to voting, 892 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: but black votes like we showed up. We turned out 893 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: more for Vice President Harris than we did for Biden. 894 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 1: And it's also the it highlighted the gap between Latino 895 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 1: voters and Black voters for the first time, which was 896 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: also a wide gap. And it feels like, if this 897 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: is what we are looking at, then where do we 898 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: go from here, you know, because like if fine, if 899 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 1: we're going to tap into the apathetic, then what are 900 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 1: we tapping in them to say? Like, what are we 901 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: asking them to do? Because it can't be you know, 902 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 1: we need you all to vote next time, like no, no, no, no, no. First, 903 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: we need you to believe in something. So what is 904 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: the sum thing that we're asking them to believe in? 905 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 1: And right now I don't know. The only thing I 906 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 1: can believe in is US, That's it. We were having 907 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: a conversation some friends and I and we were saying 908 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: somebody asked, well, at what point because people are concerned 909 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,839 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump concerned the military on people, and they 910 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: were asking, well, at what point do the people in 911 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: the military do the rank and file say no, this 912 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: isn't right. And I black women make up a disproportionate 913 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,360 Speaker 1: amount of people in the military, like we and I'm like, 914 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 1: that's the only people I can count on. I can 915 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: trust that black women will not, in service to this country, 916 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 1: turn their weapons on me. I put my life on it. 917 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,760 Speaker 1: Literally beyond that, I don't know. I have no belief 918 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 1: in no one but us. When I say us, I 919 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 1: mean black people. I don't just mean black women. But yeah, 920 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 1: I have my safety relies on us and resides in US. 921 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: So it is I mean, it is a moment in 922 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: time really to just take I don't jump out there 923 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: and comment on every little thing. Like sometimes you know, 924 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: the bookers will call and they want you and it's like, 925 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: I'm not playing that game anymore, you know, because this 926 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: person said something, you want me to respond, and this 927 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: person want to come to do sixty seconds on this subject. 928 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: It's too serious for that right now, you know, Like 929 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: sometimes I just need to take a moment and observe 930 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 1: what is happening and gather my thoughts, gather my spirit 931 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: because I just, yeah, I don't know where we go 932 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 1: from here. I really don't can. I think. 933 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 2: I was just going to say, I think the small 934 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 2: wins is where I think I'm finding some comfort. I 935 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 2: think I took a lot of courage from watching what 936 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 2: Harvard did and seeing some of the other institutions, academic 937 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 2: institutional leadership stand up and basically applaud them and say 938 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 2: you know here here, you know, keep going, And then 939 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 2: to watch that frankly, the Republican the the Trump administration 940 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,919 Speaker 2: back up and say that letter shouldn't have been sent. 941 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 2: We shouldn't have said what we said. Now the question 942 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 2: is is all y'all going to restore the funding and 943 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,400 Speaker 2: the way that it's supposed to be. And obviously the 944 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 2: bigger question is going to be how the courts ultimately 945 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,280 Speaker 2: decide here. But I agree with you that it's hard 946 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 2: to find faith that the institutions as they were designed 947 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 2: are going I don't think they predicted that this was 948 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 2: going to be who you know, they would operate this way, 949 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 2: and that their effect was going to be not to 950 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 2: the dismemberment of black folk exclusively, but that the effect 951 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 2: was going to be on them as well. And now 952 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 2: that's the only time I think we see this administration 953 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 2: backing up in any real way is when they hear 954 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 2: from their people that, oh, no, no, no, you miscalculated this. 955 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 2: That program Secretary HEXXF that you just got rid of 956 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 2: that sets women up for greater achievement within the military. 957 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,319 Speaker 2: You just voided and said, this woke stuff is over. 958 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 2: Was created by your president, signed into law by first 959 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,959 Speaker 2: Donald Trump adminished he put it into law. And guess 960 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 2: what the major sponsor in the Senate was Marco Rubio 961 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 2: as a senator and now US Secretary of State. 962 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 3: And guests who sponsored it in the House. 963 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:17,320 Speaker 2: Christy nom your Homeland Security advisor turned centerfold. I mean 964 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 2: that picture, you. 965 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 3: Know, the blowout and all that stuff. 966 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the point is real that these folks, they 967 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 2: were they pushed it themselves. And you put out tweets 968 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 2: decrying this as woke policy. Well, that's woke policy from 969 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 2: your colleagues, former cabinet members, the Secretary of Homeland Security 970 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,799 Speaker 2: and the third highest ranking individual in the government, the 971 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 2: Secretary of State. 972 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 3: That's where that came from. 973 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 2: And so only then do they get quieted and just 974 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 2: a little bit because they don't apologize. 975 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 3: They don't say this was a mistake. 976 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 2: Right, but there is no safety to be found there 977 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 2: in my opinion, And you're ex' you're you're exceedingly right 978 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 2: that those in this country as apathetic have largely largely 979 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 2: continued to stay out of the system. 980 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 5: But I don't want people to think that that's a 981 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,240 Speaker 5: new advent. The the the. 982 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 2: Extension of the ability to vote, period has always intended. 983 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 3: To exclude the majority. 984 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 2: Again, only property owning white men were originally allowed to vote, 985 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 2: not all white men. And so when that when that 986 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 2: franchise got extended to non property owning white people. That 987 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 2: was another layer of enfranchising. And then two black folk 988 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,719 Speaker 2: black you know, and then of course we have we 989 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 2: already you know the history around the clap back there. 990 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 2: But these have been gradual inclusions that the government in 991 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 2: this country didn't start with an assumption of radical inclusion 992 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 2: of everybody. 993 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: But that's another thing, the lack of knowledge of history, 994 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,319 Speaker 1: the lack of curiosity about history. I mean, when you 995 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: look at the American Revolution, most people don't know what 996 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,800 Speaker 1: the mary of you asked, somebody, tell me what was 997 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: the Revolutionary War about? Like, how did that that come 998 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: to be? I mean it's quite cyclical. I mean that 999 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 1: in itself was about out terrorifts. And the way we 1000 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 1: tell the story is like all these poor American, poor 1001 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 1: brave Americans, was like no, y'all didn't want to pay 1002 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: your fair share like that. That was always part of 1003 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: the problem. So it's really nothing new under this sign 1004 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 1: right precisely, I know we're coming up on time. I 1005 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 1: just want to play a quick snippet with a conversation 1006 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: I had with Ricaya Diallo about how people one about 1007 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: where we are in the globe US as community and 1008 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 1: how people are perceiving the United States, because as you 1009 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: all know, in France they handled Marine Lapin with much 1010 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: more I think, righteousness and caution than we did Donald Trump. 1011 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: This week Canada had an election. They elected Mark Carney 1012 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 1: as their new prime minister, and I don't know that 1013 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 1: he would have won had it not been for Donald Trump. 1014 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,920 Speaker 1: It was a fight against America. People across the globe 1015 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 1: have been warning about a rising authoritarian government in the 1016 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 1: United States, and so Richai Diallo is just a fascinating 1017 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 1: intellectual out of Paris who I think is strikingly beautiful 1018 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: and other things. And I was able to chat with 1019 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,839 Speaker 1: her for Michael Harriet's Catreman camp. But I'd like to 1020 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: just play a little of that sound and get your 1021 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,240 Speaker 1: thoughts on the other side, please. 1022 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 11: Mario Marichal Lupen, who is the niece of Marinupen, one 1023 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 11: of the leaders of the Faraight, was invited to the 1024 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 11: US to speak in front of you know people, MAGA 1025 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 11: people so like the It's they're very well organized and 1026 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 11: they are really really good to spread the ideas, you know, 1027 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,799 Speaker 11: across the both sides of the Atlantic. And you know what, 1028 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 11: when Vance came in Germany in January, he you know, 1029 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 11: he pointed out the idea of the enemy from within, 1030 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 11: and we know that he's really targeting us, you know, 1031 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 11: black people, Muslim who was supposedly not really Europeans, and 1032 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,240 Speaker 11: him coming from the US just you know, fueling hate 1033 00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 11: against us is really putting us into danger. And it's 1034 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 11: something that is really well organized globally. 1035 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 1: So that's the thing that's interesting to me. They are 1036 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: well organized globally, and I wonder, are we right something 1037 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 1: that happens here in America. There are some people, a 1038 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 1: small sect of people, who feel like we have to 1039 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,720 Speaker 1: worry about us, We have to worry about the people 1040 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 1: who are direct descendants of the enslaved from here in America. 1041 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: You and I are both survivors of white supremacy, our 1042 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 1: families or survivors of white supremacy. I am the descendant 1043 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 1: of the enslaved here. You are not the descendant of 1044 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: enslaved yet still you have been harmed right by by 1045 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 1: white people, and so I feel solidarity with you. You know, 1046 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 1: I understand when you're talking. It's like, yes, I understand 1047 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:53,399 Speaker 1: exactly what you're saying. I wonder as we navigate this, 1048 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 1: there are a lot of black people here who are 1049 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: looking to flee, you know, expats who are saying I 1050 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: have to leave a mayor, And I just wonder if 1051 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 1: we had solidarity across the globe how that might look, 1052 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, if we could organize as well to provide 1053 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 1: each other safety. They're the same. The system that's oppressing 1054 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: you is oppressing me. And I just wonder your thoughts 1055 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: on what it looks like for us to unite globally 1056 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: as the global majority. What might solidarity among all of 1057 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 1: us across the globe look like. 1058 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,799 Speaker 11: I tend to think that the knowledge is power. Just 1059 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 11: knowing what happens to you here, what's happening to us 1060 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 11: there in Europe, but also what's happening to people in Brazil, 1061 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 11: for example, is something that really makes us stronger and 1062 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 11: makes us understand how it's you know, it operates globally. 1063 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 11: And also the fact that it's way easier for me 1064 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,840 Speaker 11: to speak here in the US than it is in France, 1065 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 11: and I guess that it would be easier for you 1066 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 11: to speak about what's going on in the US in France, 1067 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,800 Speaker 11: and here we need to use our privileges to speak 1068 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,759 Speaker 11: out about, you know, local situations of people that that 1069 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 11: that the mainstream don't want to see. 1070 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 1: One of the interesting things she said was that when 1071 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 1: Marien La Penn was sentenced, the first people to speak 1072 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 1: out about it donald Trump and other dictators around the 1073 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 1: country and how, uh, you know, as black folks in 1074 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 1: in Paris, how they're looking at America versus how America 1075 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 1: has looked at everyone else. It was really a fascinating conversation. 1076 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: I told her. Angela's like, you're like the Angela Riah 1077 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 1: Paris because she's well known, you know, people stop her. 1078 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: And she was like, I consider that such a huge compliment, 1079 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Yeah, it was really sweet. And 1080 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: they haven't I've been trying to We were in Paris 1081 00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,480 Speaker 1: and she wasn't there, but I've been trying to make 1082 00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 1: sure that she met our cohort. But you can hear 1083 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: more of that at Contraband camp. I did that were my. 1084 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 2: Father that it was such a It was acknowledgement that 1085 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: you can get an audience and reach people in France 1086 00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 2: when she camp and similarly when she's in the US. Yeah, 1087 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 2: it goes back to that old saying it's hard to 1088 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 2: be a profit in your own land and that you 1089 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 2: know you'll get underminded where you are, but you go 1090 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,320 Speaker 2: somewhere else in your genius, expert but right where you are, 1091 00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 2: right where you're doing the work, is all the undermining 1092 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 2: your question though, around what might solidarity and sort of 1093 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:27,480 Speaker 2: shared pain struggle overcoming relief look like if the folks 1094 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,439 Speaker 2: who are oppressed around the country were to find solidarity 1095 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,959 Speaker 2: with each other. And I think I understood her point 1096 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 2: to be basically, wherever you are, continue to activate, share 1097 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 2: those stories because we all get power from that. And 1098 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 2: maybe it's not us exporting ourselves to some remote island, 1099 00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 2: but rather changing the systems, upending the systems. And then 1100 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 2: the people who you know, we're the proprieties previously are 1101 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 2: the ones who are like, we got to get someplace, 1102 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 2: we got to go. Shouldn't say that, But I understood 1103 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 2: it to be uniformity in our fight, you know, maybe 1104 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,240 Speaker 2: that we turn the tables and we win. 1105 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of you and it's not I've noticed 1106 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 1: Sixty Minutes did a great piece this week on people 1107 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 1: leaving the United States because they've studied special areas of 1108 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: expertise in the medical community that are no longer supported 1109 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 1: by the NHS, and so now they are taking their talent. 1110 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 1: So we are making it harder for it. Take that excisely, 1111 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 1: we are making it harder for immigrants to come to 1112 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 1: this country who contribute to our economy and to our 1113 00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 1: you know, intellectual capabilities at large, and we are sending 1114 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 1: our brightest away, and we are home growing a lot 1115 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 1: of domestic terrorists in my opinions, who prioritize white man 1116 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 1: rule and who who lack any sort of curiosity about people. 1117 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's just a dangerous time and 1118 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what tomorrow brings.

I'm gonna visit his farm Thursday morning before 1155 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 8: I I'm changing my stuff so i can go to this. 1156 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 6: Farm Thursday morning. 1157 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 8: And what he said was there are certain things we 1158 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 8: need to get in place for the times ahead. And 1159 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 8: what I'm thinking about is the fact that if this 1160 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,800 Speaker 8: timeline that is projected. There's a CNBC article that came 1161 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 8: out that's talking about if the tariffs are to have 1162 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 8: the economic impact that is suspected, there will be goods, 1163 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 8: significant amount of goods not on shelves in May, just 1164 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 8: in a couple of weeks. So if we don't know 1165 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 8: what time it is now, and we can't come together 1166 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 8: during the state of the People power toward to determine 1167 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 8: how we will take care of ourselves in this moment, 1168 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 8: I don't know what we're gonna do, but Bradford's assignment 1169 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 8: is to give us the top five things that black 1170 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,520 Speaker 8: people need to do to hunker down and survive in 1171 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,680 Speaker 8: this moment. I think that the shelves will look like 1172 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,440 Speaker 8: they did during COVID. I think that we will have 1173 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,960 Speaker 8: the same type of water shortage as paper towels toilet 1174 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 8: paper that we do that we did during COVID and 1175 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 8: it's again based on the cnbcpiece. I'm gonna make sure 1176 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 8: that we actually get it as a link for our audience. 1177 01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 8: But Apollo Global Management put out a report about this, 1178 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 8: and I think that we should look into it. The 1179 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 8: other thing that I was going to say is we 1180 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 8: will be well when y'all hear this podcast, either we 1181 01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 8: will be in Birmingham or having just left Birmingham. Over 1182 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 8: the weekend, We're going everywhere from New Orleans to Louisville, 1183 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 8: to Los Angeles to Detroit, and we asked that you 1184 01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 8: sign on.

It 1186 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 8: was incredible and the energy just feels so good. 1187 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 6: I also just. 1188 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:50,720 Speaker 8: Want to shout out our research producer Lolo, because life 1189 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 8: still lives, and human beings, even on this tour a 1190 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 8: still having a very human experience. Lolo lost her cousins 1191 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 8: over the weekend and a tragic car acit in and 1192 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 8: I'm saying that to say that our first priority on 1193 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 8: this tour is not pushing policy or chastising people for 1194 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,439 Speaker 8: what they did or didn't do. It's about taking care 1195 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 8: of the human being first. So we have to first 1196 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,040 Speaker 8: ask each other, even on this podcast, what do you need? 1197 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 8: What do you need? Are you okay? And wait and 1198 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 8: listen for the answer and see if it's the need 1199 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 8: that you can solve. Whether you're a listener or you're 1200 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 8: a host, you're a producer, what do you need?

There is something to that, 1231 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 1: to us growing our own food, you know, as the 1232 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 1: FDA is falling apart, there is something as we used 1233 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,440 Speaker 1: to there's something to us building community. And when I 1234 01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 1: say building community, I don't mean in the abstract way. 1235 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean literally building homes in areas close to each 1236 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 1: other where we can be there for each other and 1237 01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 1: have our own you know, marketplace with each other, recreating 1238 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,360 Speaker 1: what used to exist, you know, the nineteenth right in 1239 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 1: the early part of the nineteenth century. 1240 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 6: I just. 1241 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 1: And later and I just means that they destroyed it all, 1242 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, So the Red Summer. 1243 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 2: And the only reason why I say later is because 1244 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,959 Speaker 2: some folks may think we had to be here during 1245 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 2: slave day, you know, enslavement periods to have known what 1246 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 2: it felt like to grow your own. 1247 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 5: That's not sure, and it doesn't take all that. 1248 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,000 Speaker 2: I mean, as a kid, I have very vivid memories 1249 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:57,000 Speaker 2: of in the backyard picking lettuce, picking collar greens, shelling. 1250 01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 5: I mean, we grew every kind of fruit. 1251 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 2: Now I lived in Miami at that point, but my 1252 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 2: grandmother and grandfather taught us that we fished for you know, 1253 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 2: for fish, we had chickens, for poultry. I mean there 1254 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,720 Speaker 2: was we didn't have to rely on it, but we 1255 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 2: still grew it, we still planted it, we still picked it. 1256 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,880 Speaker 3: And I did that as a kid. 1257 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:23,560 Speaker 2: And so it shouldn't feel so remote and like another 1258 01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 2: worldish for folks to think about. Tiff, the kind of 1259 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,640 Speaker 2: I think beloved community that you described where we where 1260 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,680 Speaker 2: we do rely on and take care of ourselves. And 1261 01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 2: Angela to your earlier point around shells being empty, you 1262 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 2: had the CEOs of Walmart, you had major sort of 1263 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 2: leaders of industry in the retail space. Get down to 1264 01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 2: the White House and say, mister President, I want to 1265 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,920 Speaker 2: predict for you that we're going to have empty shells. 1266 01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 3: There will be shells that. 1267 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 2: Are empty in this country if the tears stay as 1268 01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 2: they are. So it is if it happens, y'all, it 1269 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,680 Speaker 2: ain't because they didn't know about it, which out to 1270 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 2: send us really spiraling in concern. If it happens, it's 1271 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:08,640 Speaker 2: not because the government didn't know. 1272 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 1: Can I just tell y'all where I go on this weekend? 1273 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 1: I am headed back to Michael Harriet's house. 1274 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,800 Speaker 3: I love speaking just what I'm telling you. 1275 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,759 Speaker 1: This man could build a whole community on his property. 1276 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 1: He I won't say exactly where he lives, but he 1277 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 1: in the backwoods somewhere like completely mostly off the grid, 1278 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 1: but got acres on acres on acres, and it is 1279 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,360 Speaker 1: it looks like a museum the way that he has 1280 01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 1: constructed his house.

A 1318 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:22,600 Speaker 8: lot of people followed them. They did a workshop that 1319 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 8: was packed telling people about how to acquire land in 1320 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 8: the process. 1321 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 6: Super good, so they would love to do that. 1322 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 2: I think we should also couple doctor Kanisihah Grant and 1323 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 2: some of the others who are extensibly extensively on this 1324 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,559 Speaker 2: on the great migration and what it would take for 1325 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 2: reversal migration in some places where I mean, Mississippi, ain't 1326 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 2: that far from folks becoming a majority, from the people 1327 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,719 Speaker 2: of color becoming a majority, and yet it's a state 1328 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 2: that is almost fiftieth out of fiftieth and nearly everything 1329 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,120 Speaker 2: because of their refusal to invest in our people, our community, 1330 01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 2: and they failed to realize that a rising tide really 1331 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 2: does lift all boats. You invest in this group of people, 1332 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 2: all y'all gonna make money. It may not even be 1333 01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,920 Speaker 2: our attention. It just happens to happen that way when 1334 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,360 Speaker 2: you do it the right way. But they're not they're 1335 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 2: not committed to that. But I think that'd be a 1336 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 2: fascinating conversation to began, because most people think it's just 1337 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 2: out of touch and out of reach, and I think 1338 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 2: they need to hear and feel some real examples of 1339 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 2: where as possible. 1340 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:23,919 Speaker 6: I agree. 1341 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 1: Well, I know Angela has to go.
