00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Native Laandpod is a production of iHeartRadio and partnership with

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Recent Choice Medium.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: Welcome Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome home. Y'all. This

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: is another edition of Native lamppid, but it's a mini

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: pod And today we are doing election projections despite the

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 2: fact that sadly DraftKings hasn't been spark smart enough to

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: sponsor our show. Nevertheless, we are betting women and men today.

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: So we are we gonna place our wagers on who

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: we think is gonna win the election and why and

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: what do we do if Donald Trump wins? So that's

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: the podcast. What we doing? Who's kicking us off?

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I one do not believe

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will win, but I want to say I

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: feel that way not based on any scientific reasons. I

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: feel that way based on the sheer will of black women.

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: The we are spiritual beings having a human experience, as

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: Loatasha Brown says, and I just I don't My mind

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: can't compute anything else. I think the media has intentionality

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: around creating these narratives around the.

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 3: Race is so tight.

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: Y'all know how I feel about polls, People introducing polls

22
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: and like it's fifteen poles a day, saying fifteen different things,

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: and it's meant to agitate, It's meant to keep us

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: on edge when if we all just focused on I'm

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna vote on election Day, I'm gonna do early voting.

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get other people.

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: To the polls.

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: That's our only black job right now. So that's what

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm focused on. I do not think we will see

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: another Donald Trump presidency. That is my declaration. Is beyond

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: my hope. It is my declaration. So that's how I

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: feel about it.

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Andrew Gilli.

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: How you, Angela.

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: You've been talking about your angst Angela, so I want

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: to hearing.

37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So I have a lot of inks, but I

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: think most of this has to do with my control issues.

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: I do not like for things to be close. Close

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: games give me anxiety, and overtime after overtime after overtime,

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: sports experts you know all about that.

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: I know that feeling. Girl, I don't like it either.

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: That gives me anxiety, and so I like for things

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: to be like it's a clean break. We like know

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: exactly where things stand, and unfortunately for us right now,

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: that is not where things stand. I think even traditional

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: posters are being a lot more conservative in their approach

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: based on what happened in twenty sixteen, frankly with Hillary Clinton,

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: and while she did win the popular vote, as we

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: talk about all the time on this show, by three

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: million votes, she did not win the electoral college. So

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: you know, when I think about the states in play, Michigan,

53
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: I'm worried about the uncommitted vote, and given the size

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: of the electorate, the number of votes that Hillary Clinton

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: lost Michigan by in twenty sixteen, I'm really worried that

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: the uncommitted haven't been properly addressed. Around the Israeli Gaza,

57
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: the Palestinian conflict. I have some concerns about Arizona. I

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: have concerns about Pennsylvania, and I mean, for a number

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: of different reasons, working class voters who are black, brown,

60
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: and white. I have concerns about the black mail vote

61
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: in particular in Pennsylvania and it being kind of the

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: tie breaking the just enough to get over the hump.

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 2: I have concerns about, I said, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, nov.

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: I feel a little bit better about Wisconsin. I'm also

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: worried about and not just for Kamala Harrison, Tim Wallas,

66
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: but also for Tammy Baldwin, you know. So, I mean,

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: I do have some concerns numerically, and at this point

68
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: of the election season, y'all, it really is just about

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: who can turn out the votes. So I think that

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: there have been a lot of time, There's been a

71
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: lot of time, including for me, focused on undecided voters.

72
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: I'm not off that yet, but I do know the

73
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: people that are clear eyed about who they want to

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: vote for, please go to the polls, go early in

75
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: case something happens on election day. We have a good

76
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: friend of ours, Aaron, who was talking about you know,

77
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: she wanted that moment on election day. We're like, girl,

78
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: if you don't grow early, it's that same kind of thing.

79
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: We just want to make sure that there are no mishaps,

80
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: no mistakes, no threats, no intimidation, none of that going on.

81
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: And I think my biggest concern, honestly, y'all, is not

82
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: just about the victory. I do believe that Kamala Harris

83
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: and Tim Walls have what it takes to get us

84
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: across the finish line. But I'm deeply concerned about what

85
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: happens when people embody the threats that they think they are,

86
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: what kind of violence ensues from the other side, what

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: ways in which they might intimidate voters, the way that

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: they've been geared up for that now for well over

89
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: a year, the things that they've put in place in

90
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: states to challenge the vote, All of those things come

91
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: into play. And so one of the biggest concerns I

92
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: have is the fact that I fully believe this election

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: won't be decided on election night. I think it's going

94
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: to be a battle, and it's not going to just

95
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: be a slog with the folks who count the ballots

96
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: in the states. It's also going to be a slog

97
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: when it comes time for January sixth, twenty twenty five,

98
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: whether or not folks will agree to certify election results,

99
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: which when they've been pointedly asked, they've not been able

100
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: to answer the question. So I got aanks that I

101
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: think I'm caring for about, you know, two months worth

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: eggs November December and Janimary.

103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: Well, didn't I just say I When I say I'm confident,

104
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm confident about the will of the people. Now when

105
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: we come to I agree with you, we won't know

106
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: the election results that night. The fake electors are a

107
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: concern I think combined right now election deniers and the

108
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fake electors right now represent thirty seven percent

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: of the total eighty two members of the electoral College.

110
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: That is a legitimate concern. I mean, legally can't will

111
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: they vote against the will of the people. So that

112
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: definitely gives me ankst. I should be clear about that.

113
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: I think she will win the popular vote. I think

114
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: she will win the swing states. Will people accept the

115
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: election results they don't like, But a lot of people

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: are concerned that she doesn't have it in the bag yet,

117
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good place to be.

118
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: So all y'all who feel that way, you're not alone.

119
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: But I just feel I don't know, I just feel

120
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: like the.

121
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: Ancestors pushing me at the back, like no, girl, it's time.

122
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: It's time, I think.

123
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: And I appreciate y'all sharing your thoughts on that because

124
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 5: they're influencing me some. But I am checking in with

125
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 5: my gut, and sometimes my head and my gut betray

126
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 5: one another. Yes, indeed, I had a gut feeling the

127
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 5: morning I woke up in November of twenty eighteen, when

128
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 5: I was on the ballot for governor in Florida. I

129
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 5: had a gut feeling that didn't match my head and

130
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: everything going into it. On in twenty sixteen, I was

131
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 5: in New York, you know, at the Javit Center, and

132
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: at that time the idea of a Trump presidency had

133
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 5: not even entered into my thinking. It was nowhere near.

134
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: I was so thrown off balance that I mean, it

135
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 5: was just I'm sure a lot of us were. But

136
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: my gut didn't say he didn't warn me, and my

137
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: head schrazelle didn't suggest anything different.

138
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: We're two weeks out from.

139
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: The election, and I will just quickly say where my

140
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 5: concern lies. My concerns lie right now with white women

141
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: and how they will perform. If they are gonna do

142
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: fifty three percent for Trump, then I think we lose.

143
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 5: Given the gender gap that exists right now, we need

144
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: them desperately to check in with their conscience. We need

145
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 5: them desperately to put them so first, not their sons,

146
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: not their husbands, not their fathers, but themselves. I worry

147
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 5: about an enthusiasm gap on the left if all of

148
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: us truly know what the consequences are, if the sky

149
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: is falling every election then why is the sky falling

150
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: this time? And why is it falling going to be

151
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: different from me good batter in between? So I think

152
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: there's an enthusiasm issue that has to be closed, and

153
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: I don't think it's been closed yet. And then my

154
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 5: third big fear is the Senate. In the House, There's

155
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 5: a reason Donald Trump did rallies in New York City.

156
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 5: There are three very important pivotal congressional races that he

157
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 5: feels his presence if it could boost enough Republican enthusiasm

158
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 5: in those areas, could they hold those seats? In Florida,

159
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 5: Ronda Santis went against the legislature, but he had the courts,

160
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 5: and he drew his own maps, got rid of two

161
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 5: black seats, black access seats, and they were replaced with

162
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 5: a total of three white access seats, and all three

163
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 5: of those seats went Republican, from Democrat to Republican. And

164
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 5: that is how Speaker Johnson is. Speaker Johnson, I worry

165
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 5: about the House, and I fear that the Senate is

166
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: already likely lost. And in that circumstance, the Trump win

167
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: would be absolutely detrimental to everything we believe and we

168
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 5: stand for the good thing about these three concerns. If

169
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 5: there was, is that there's still time to affect them.

170
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 5: There's still time for white women to decide for themselves

171
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 5: how it is they're going to affect the turnout of

172
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 5: this election, whether they want to stay clamped to the

173
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 5: past or define their own future. I still think there's

174
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 5: time on these House seats for the enthusiasm to build

175
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: that we need, and folks to show up and show

176
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 5: out and vote for their candidates. The choice and the

177
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 5: enthusiasms can still be addressed. If right now you are

178
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 5: busy worrying about what the poles are saying and not

179
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 5: doing anything to move people to the polls to change

180
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 5: Those poles are predictive. They say it gives you their

181
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 5: snapshots in time. But in some ways those trend lines

182
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: tell us where things may be headed. And if you're

183
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 5: watching that and we about to crash into a damn

184
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: brick wall, then I would do what I could to

185
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 5: avert the brick wall. And I think these warnings should

186
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 5: wake all of us up. This race is far too

187
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: close in too many key places, far too close, and y'all,

188
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: I can't even get to the after, because I think

189
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: the after is bound to be chaos. I think in

190
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: some ways Donald Trump is running for the presidency for

191
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,239
Speaker 5: his freedom. But I also think he's running for chaos

192
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 5: to undermine whatever the outcome is, so that there is

193
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: a divide in this country, and that device continue continues

194
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 5: by helping to keep him out of jail, creating negotiating

195
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: room for some kind of a collapse if the opposition

196
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 5: is strong enough, some kind of a deal to be

197
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: made on his criminal piece here. And I know I

198
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 5: may sound conspiracy theorists here, but I think Donald Trump

199
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 5: all along has been running for his freedom. I do too,

200
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 5: and I think at the end, in the beginning of

201
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 5: the day, if there is a divide in this country,

202
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 5: he can marshal that divide towards some kind of negotiated

203
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 5: outcome for himself. Although that's bad for the country, but

204
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 5: I do think that those are the things.

205
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: That sort of can we Also, if he loses Andrew,

206
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: the Republican Party will abandon him. At that point it's like,

207
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: oh great, all right, well I'm not Trump is, but

208
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, because at that point they can say, okay,

209
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: the problem with Trump is done. Like we got four

210
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: years of Vice President Harris, there's no need for us,

211
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't have the vice grip on them that

212
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: he does.

213
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 5: Right now, if the people are still with him, he

214
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: will still be the touchelor leader of the party, and

215
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 5: they will bow to him just because they had a

216
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 5: chance to get rid of him.

217
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: He could have been old news before, except the people

218
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: that the party he built is loyal to him. This

219
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: is all again in the regiment of fascism. He is

220
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: the love the love leader.

221
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: You don't think it's fear of him becoming president again though.

222
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 5: He may never become president, but he may pick the

223
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 5: next one.

224
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: Ah, I see, good point.

225
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: Good point.

226
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you guys this. Can we do

227
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: like a quick round of like who thinks the Republicans

228
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: are going to win the House? Who thinks? Or the Democrats?

229
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: Who thinks Republicans Democrats? Senate? Who thinks Republicans Democrats presidency?

230
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: Can we do that quick round?

231
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it.

232
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: Andrew you in last House.

233
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: House Democrat, Senate Republican White House Democrat?

234
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Tiff, what you got same as Andrew? Okay, I

235
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: am going to go out on a limb and say

236
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: that I think the Senate is going to surprise us

237
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: and somehow they eke out a victory and it's going

238
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: to be dim House, dim Senate Kamala Harris presidency, not

239
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: on election night, maybe a week later.

240
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: That you know that is positive because for a long

241
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: time you were like, I don't know, guys, this is like.

242
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: I don't know still, but this is what I'm I

243
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: need to bet this for my nerves and I and

244
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 2: I'm gonna even say, like I just am being different

245
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: from y'all on the Senate piece. I think that I

246
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: think that it's I think the Senate is the toughest race,

247
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: honest or the toughest. The toughest races that the Democrats

248
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: have is the Senate. I think that they've made some miscalculations.

249
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: In particular, I'm thinking about the black woman running in Indiana,

250
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: like why would you don't be don't not be competitive

251
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: in states that you have not traditionally been competitive. Kentucky

252
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: has a democratic governor, Like why like there are places

253
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: where traditionally they would say we can't win and they

254
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: could have won if they would have just invested some resources.

255
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Well, but even outside of like black folks in the Senate,

256
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: because I think and I do want to correct, I

257
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: did see all you guys' comments because I was saying, well,

258
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: there are no black women in the Senate.

259
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so forgive me.

260
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: I did I remember saying that when we were talking

261
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: about the black women running, and I was like, they

262
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: would be right now, there are no black women in

263
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: the Senate. So forgive me. That was a complete oversight.

264
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: My apologies.

265
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even hear you say that. I thought

266
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: you meant there wouldn't be if they didn't win, which

267
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: would be true.

268
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: That is what I was trying to say. But I

269
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: would have I would have absolutely acknowledged Lafonds a butler.

270
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: We definitely, Yes, yes, I would.

271
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Have acknowledged her in that moment of my apologies. But

272
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: I think even outside of black women running, there's just

273
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: some Senate seats out there, like John Tester and Montana.

274
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen there. I think Colin

275
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: Allred might be. I think nobody likes Ted Cruz, Like,

276
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: why do y'all keep sending Ted Cruise to us? Here's

277
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: y'all's problem? Keep him at home? I cannot see. Yes, yes,

278
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: it's very strange. And Vice President Harris is there this

279
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: week in Texas, and I think that will get Look,

280
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: we were talking in our group chat that Texas is

281
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: not in play for her, but in that Senate race,

282
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: we keep getting promise Texas gonna be a purple state.

283
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: This might be the election cycle is why do we think.

284
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: That Colin Alred could win that seat but she couldn't win.

285
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Because it's more of a local issue there. I think

286
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Colin Allred uh has He's focused on Texas. She's focused

287
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: on the country. So there are some some policy points

288
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: that she takes that I think might run contrary to

289
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: the interests of the people in Texas, where Colin already

290
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: may have.

291
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: I think he's got everything to do with Ted.

292
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Cruise and Tad Cruise is just genuinely unlikely.

293
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: They're saying even anybody and Maryland Kamala Harris has a

294
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: ten point advantage over Angela also Brooks, which is also fascinating.

295
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: I'm always interested when people I.

296
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 5: Think she's splitting and a largely on what happens in

297
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: these tickets is the fall off. This is the voter

298
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 5: fall off, not so much Trump and the Democrat or

299
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 5: the Democrat and a Republican, but the fall off that taxapays.

300
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 5: And I'll just qualify I said Mexico because that's his

301
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 5: preferred vacation spot.

302
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: Everybody, it's sort of tongue in cheek if.

303
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: We remember what I found interesting about that, but I

304
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: forgot well that that's my point with these reprobably it's

305
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: so much scandal you literally can't keep up. But during

306
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: that whole tobacco when he was going to Mexico, that's

307
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: how you know they we got don't.

308
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: Ever come to us talking about our community, okay, because

309
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: we ride her. She was in a group chat. Y'all

310
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 3: remember that.

311
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: It was in a group chat who leaked her at

312
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,359

00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: get summarily dismissed.

323
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: Well, there that's a mini problem.

324
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,719

325
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,920

00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: Yes.

329
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: Yes, and by the way, mine is is an admonishment.

330
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's how I feel.

331
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: Andrew, Well, can I ask Andrew before we go, because

332
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: you said something, I just want to ask a quick questions.

333
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: You said that you your gut in twenty eighteen and

334
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: your head were different. Do you feel comfortable sharing what

335
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: you had told you?

336
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 5: My head told me we were going to win, and

337
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 5: my gut that morning was unlike anything I had felt

338
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 5: all the way up through the campaign. When I went

339
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: to vote, I thought, you know what, They're not gonna

340
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: There's a reason there's never been won before.

341
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: M I gotta be honest. When you were talking the

342
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: whole time, your tone made me very uncomfortable. I felt

343
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: like Davis or Jackson about to get in drone. He

344
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: was so serious the whole time he was telling his

345
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: thoughts on the election.

346
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 5: Let me say that's why it's but it's only true

347
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 5: if we do what we have to do.

348
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 2: And even if you think about what happened, I will

349
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: tell you Tiff like and We've talked about it a

350
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: little bit on the show before with Andrew's race, Like

351
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: Andrew ain't the only one that needed therapy after that race.

352
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: Like you couldn't have told me Andrew was not gonna win.

353
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: You could feel it. You could feel it. And that's

354
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: why I'm saying, like there is something really important, Like

355
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 2: even if you went over hearts and minds, if those

356
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: hearts and minds don't take their assets to the polls come,

357
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: it matters not And I do believe there were votes

358
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: that were not counted. I know, I sound like an

359
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: election denier. Florida is a different beast and they will

360
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: play a mean, evil, tricky game. And so what you

361
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: have to do is outperform they multiplied, right, You got

362
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: to outperform the evil. You got to show up in

363
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: numbers where they can't trick it or trade it or

364
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: do whatever they do. You have to make sure that

365
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 2: there is no room for a hanging chad. You just

366
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: have to. And that's why I'm saying, like you can

367
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 2: feel the like the tide is changing. You could feel

368
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: people are ripe and ready. But if ripe and ready

369
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: don't move, you know, so I'm with you on that Florida.

370
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: We lookda to Florida. Multiply that right, multiple yes, Florida,

371
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: but you know forty nine.

Speaker 4: Come on, and all the places where.
