You got to have patience. You never buy 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: it highs. We talk about this all the time. Wait 49 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: for pullbacks and if you're selling it, sell after you've 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: made substantial gains on your investment. So buy low, sell high. 51 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: Number two is buy and hold. So yes, you know, 52 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: Ian's big on that, whether it's real estate, whether it's crypto, 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 3: whether it's stock. If you buy good assets, you have 54 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: to hold it for a long period of time. The 55 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: short flip is going to be quick money, but the 56 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: real wealth is in buying and holding. 57 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 4: That's ftally important. Diversification thou shall diversify. 58 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: Now, some people say, you know, diversification is for people 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: that's not well at versed. Well, when I say the diversification, 60 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: I'm not just talking about just in stock. I'm talking 61 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 3: about just an investing period. So it's like real estate, 62 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: talk about it, crypto businesses. You can put all your 63 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: eggs in one basket. That's vitally important.

You have to have patience 65 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: because if you invest in with no patience, you're going 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: to get washed out. And that's done on purpose a 67 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: lot of times. Especially it happens in crypto all the time, 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: where the whales will wash you out. They'll drop the 69 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: price on purpose, and then you get scared, you sell 70 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: your position. So you have to have patience. 71 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: What number was that? 72 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: Number four? 73 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: That could have been number one for me, number five. 74 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: That's a good point. 75 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: Thou shall understand, would die invest in. So never invest 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: in anything that you don't have a good understanding in 77 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: the NFTs, Yes, exactly, if you don't understand it, stay 78 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: away from it.

Thatw shall never invest. 80 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 4: In the top, no matter what market it is, no 81 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: matter what you gotta wait, you gotta wait for a pull. 82 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 5: Their Rolex marketers in shambles, not to cut you off. 83 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 5: Everybody else paying fifty. 84 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: Thousand for the little Boo Bay Rolex authorized dealers only. 85 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 4: That's the fact. 86 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that means, look when you see the fifth and 87 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: that's given to you fifty two. 88 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: Weeks high, look at it for a reason. 89 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: There's a reason why they show it. 90 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: This is important. Now shall reinvest profits. That's the real 91 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: way to well. 92 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 3: So when you're making money, it's not Okay, I invest 93 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: a thousand dollars, I'm made five hundred and I'm gonna 94 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: take that five hundred. I'm gona, boy Balenciaga, reinvest that 95 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: five hundred like because there's a thing called compound interest, 96 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 3: which is called one of the wonders of the world. 97 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: But that only happens if you are constantly a just 98 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 3: reinvesting periodically, but also reinvesting profit as well, So reinvest profit. 99 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: Number nine thou shall stay informed at all times, So 100 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: watch market Mondays every single week. Read stay informed. You 101 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 3: have the education is a is a ongoing journey. 102 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: It doesn't. It's not like you just This isn't college 103 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 4: where you just take a course. 104 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: Cradle to the grave ongoing situation. And the last one 105 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 3: is thou shall keep emotions in check because emotions and 106 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: investing do not go to go to go well together. 107 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: You cannot be emotional. You have to be level even 108 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 3: kill non emotional. There's reasons why these terms like sniper 109 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 3: and target are used because that's the kind of mindset 110 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 3: that you have to have. You gotta you gotta operate 111 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: with position, precision and not take emotion into it. So 112 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 3: there's a bunch of others that you could potentially incorporate, 113 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 3: But those are ten that I think we're being good 114 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: people that are just you know, sometimes you just need 115 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 3: to remind them. Like I said, just from a lot 116 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 3: of the questions that I'm getting, I understand that there's 117 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: a lot of people that are still new and investing, 118 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: still trying to figure it out. So win in doubt, 119 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: refer back to those commandments, and you'll have to break 120 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: up if not, if not. 121 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 4: Twenty five years, I want to make up. 122 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: About I thought too. 123 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: Te In is gonna fall in well for sure when 124 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: I get my Verse next week eleven. 125 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 5: But even the long term hold and it being even 126 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 5: kill in partnership, like look how long Steve and Bill 127 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 5: work together at Microsoft, Like all the games are in 128 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 5: the long term hold.

It's rare, the finance wealth space. So 192 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: it's helpful. And be honest with you, I'm not gonna 193 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: allow you. 194 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: It is helpful, but we wanted to give that added 195 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: benefit bonus because I mean, to me, that's a no brainer. 196 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 4: For it's thirty. It's thirty dollars. 197 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 3: I mean, if you and if you purchased it already, 198 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: get another one.

A lot of people, the learners would 206 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 2: joining like, where's the first. 207 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 4: And that gives you a preview to Eyo University. So 208 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 4: it's a double edged sword. 209 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 3: But you know, just wanting to add a most David 210 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: Shan said something he did. He said, make the price 211 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: substantially lower than the value that you're going to give. Yes, 212 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 3: So I feel like for thirty dollars, the price is 213 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: substantially lower than the value that is provided with the 214 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: book alone. 215 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 4: But then when you add the options on top of that, 216 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 4: it's a no brainer. 217 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 3: But with that being said, it is a very important 218 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 3: time in American history and we have a historic election tomorrow, 219 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: so we wanted to bring a few of our friends, 220 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 3: friends of the program Yes on to have a last 221 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: minute discussion and encouragement to our our audience to vote tomorrow.

Yes, people 232 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 7: don't understand this book struggle like it's real. And I 233 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 7: hope that your followers follow your advice because, as you said, 234 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 7: black authors on the New York Times Bestseller list, it's tough, 235 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 7: and it's tough no matter what space that you're in. 236 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 6: I didn't make it. 237 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 7: And literally because another thing too that you have to 238 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 7: factor in is when your book comes out and what 239 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 7: else has been released that week? 240 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 6: And I forgot what else was released. 241 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 7: That week because the New York Times they have this 242 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 7: very crazy formula nobody quite understands. They don't make it 243 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 7: public about how you're able to make this list, and 244 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 7: if you're in the author space making this list, although 245 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 7: it's not a validation of your work in the respect, 246 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 7: it doesn't mean your work is good or bad or 247 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 7: awful if you don't make it, but it allows you 248 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 7: to continue forward, particularly if you want to stay in 249 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 7: the book space. It's one thing to be able to 250 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 7: put on the resume and say New York Times Bestseller, 251 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 7: which leads to you getting more opportunities and other things. 252 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 7: And so for black authors it can be especially tough. 253 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 7: So let me reiterate the message to your listeners that 254 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 7: black people that you support who have books, buy the 255 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 7: books by the books for friends. And a little bit 256 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 7: of advice I will give to you all that I 257 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 7: learned to be quite helpful because I'm often asked to 258 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 7: speak at various universities and places. 259 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 6: I made a book by part of the writer, so 260 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 6: that also helps. 261 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 7: If you say, hey, you know type of pay, but 262 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 7: my speaking fee is y'all gotta put y'all gotta get 263 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 7: these four thousand books also very helpful. Now sometimes the 264 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 7: New York Times and make sure that they get them 265 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 7: from a local bookstore that the New York Times counts 266 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 7: as part of being a best seller. 267 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 6: That's that's my that's my. 268 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: Ya. 269 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 3: So and then we have to bring our other guests 270 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: on as well. Senator Tim Scott of the Great State 271 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: of South Carolina. 272 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: Thank god, I thought y'allre I thought y'all were trying 273 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: to cut the brother out because he's got our bias name. 274 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 5: So I said, I'm looking out for you. 275 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: Listen. She gave she gave really good advice as an author, 276 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: I gotta say, even though it's not my place, herbs 277 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: device was spot on. If you want to be a 278 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: best selling author and you're not using local bookstores, New 279 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: York Times is going to discriminate again your selection. And 280 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: I will say real time that they have a complex, 281 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: complicated and layered approach to awarding the New York Times Bestseller. 282 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: It's not based on just sales. Yeah, it is, in 283 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: fact a very interesting algorithm. So in order to get there, 284 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: you better be using local bookstores or you will be unhappy. 285 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: But the number you tell and how it does not 286 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: work towards your New York Times best selling status. 287 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 4: Appreciate that. Not All right? All right, guys, first and 288 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 4: foremost welcome. 289 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: Thank you. 290 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 4: Do you guys know each other? 291 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,359 Speaker 1: No, this is. 292 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 6: Here's my first time. 293 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 7: Yes, I obviously know of I know who Tim Scott is, 294 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 7: but I have never met him. 295 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 6: This is our first interaction. 296 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 4: Well man, welcome to the show. Let's play nice one 297 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 4: day away, Let's be kind. Come on. 298 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 3: I want to make this just a free flowing conversation everybody, 299 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 3: but I just feel like it's just my important for 300 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: people to just hit that. You know, this is the 301 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: final call right, this is the last opportunity for anybody. 302 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: I don't know how you undecided at this point, but 303 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: you know, there might be some people from the side, 304 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: or it might just just just to get pushed to 305 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 3: actually take part in the political part. There's a lot 306 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: of people that just are not going to vote. So 307 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 3: here's what I've been hearing from people on the Democratic side. 308 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: They said that their internal polling shows that Kamala is 309 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: winning the election by a very thin margin. And Trump 310 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: Trump's narrative, he's already trying to put out that this 311 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: voter fraud, so that if he does lose, he's going 312 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: to say that he did not lose. He's putting that 313 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: out there ready to kind of taint the election. So 314 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: it's not going to be certified with the anticipation that 315 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: if it needs to go to the courts, and a 316 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: lot of the Republicans, you guys run the court system 317 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 3: right on the on the Supreme Court. You know you're right, 318 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 3: you're on a Supreme court and some of the state 319 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 3: courts as well. So is that a fear narrative that 320 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 3: I'm hearing or is that something that is not actually true. 321 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: I think it's certainly fear mongering a little bit there. 322 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: If you think about Wisconsin, you think about Pennsylvania, you 323 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: think about Michigan, you think about all the battleground states, 324 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: they are typically run by Democrats out Republicans number one. 325 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: Number two, I think the reality of it is that 326 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: I've been on the ground Franklin, the event in Detroit, 327 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: the event in Philly, it was in Ohio as well, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, 328 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: buncing around Las Vegas, Nevada. And I can tell you 329 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: one thing. There's lots of momentum, lots of energy on 330 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: the ground. But at the end of the day, we 331 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: expect a fair election. And my assumption is based on 332 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: the ground experience in the last ninety six hours or 333 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: four or five days, is that we are in a 334 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: strong position to bring home the victory. There are a 335 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: couple of very positive signs from my perspective. Number one, 336 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: Trump is outperforming with women better than Kamala is out 337 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: with men. So when you look at the divide, Trump's 338 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: doing very well with men, Kamala is doing very well 339 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: with women. The bottom line is that Trump is doing 340 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: slightly better with women than Kamala is doing with men. 341 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: And so that is one very important signal number two 342 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: African American men. Trump is outperforming as twenty twenty numbers 343 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: with African American men, even though in all seven battleground 344 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: states the African American male vote, to your point earlier, 345 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: is actually down a bit. So we're outperforming in a 346 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: strong and necessary voting block of Democrats. If that all 347 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: plays out, then we are in a strong position to 348 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: be victorious. The caveat out there is that there is 349 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: an undercounted I heard on the news recently the progressive woman, 350 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: typically white, is not being factored in as much as 351 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: she has been in the past. I don't know what 352 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: that means, how that plays out. But ultimately, based on 353 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: the amount of information we have today, based on all 354 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: the polling data of that've scene, we are in a 355 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: very strong position to do very well in the seven 356 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: battleground states and that will determine the outcome of this election. 357 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 3: So you don't think so, you think it's going to 358 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: be a fit. You don't think voter fraud is a problem. 359 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: Well, voter fraud is always the problem. The only question 360 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: is where is it enough to change the outcome of 361 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: the elections. I'm not going to concern myself with that. 362 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: I honestly believe that we're going to have a fair 363 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: enough election to get the results that will determine the 364 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: future of this nation. And so as opposed to really 365 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: going back and forth on something that none of us 366 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: will be able to have any say until after it's 367 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: all done, I'd rather spend the energy on why we 368 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: need to elect four more years of President Donald Trump 369 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: versus the last four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 370 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean this is interesting, but so Scott, 371 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: you brought up a lot of points. You talked about 372 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: women obviously playing a huge role in this and that's 373 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 2: a massive role, and women's reproductive rights has been a 374 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 2: major issue. In fact, seventy three percent of women have 375 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: voted so that they're right their choice. I wonder, Jamelle, 376 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: as you see it one from a woman's standpoint, the role, 377 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: and I'm glad you brought up the progressive women. Has 378 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: enough been done on that side from the Democratic Party? 379 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 2: And then from the men's side. We've talked about black 380 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 2: men countless times on this show, even when the mic 381 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: was on. During the Kamala's an interview, she says she's 382 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 2: having an issue with men. Has enough been done from men, 383 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: I guess the two part question and specifically black men, 384 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 2: to engage them to get to the polls and vote. 385 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 7: Well, I understand in general black people in voter participation 386 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 7: has been down since I believe two thousand, since Obama 387 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 7: is the second reelection of Obama. So I mean, what 388 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 7: we saw in the first time in history, it was 389 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 7: that more black people voted than white people in that election, 390 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 7: which was quite amazing. And so since then there's been 391 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 7: a steady decrease and a lot of it maybe has 392 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 7: been a level of dissatisfaction, a lot of other factors, 393 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 7: some of which maybe some of us also brought that 394 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 7: whole post racial America stuff which wasn't quite true. But 395 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 7: I would say well for women in particular, and this 396 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 7: is my I'm speaking both from this personally and as 397 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 7: I guess if you want to put me in the 398 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 7: role as a media pundit, I am someone I had 399 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 7: an abortion when I was twenty five years old, and 400 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 7: the idea and the thought of this, and I know 401 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 7: the usual Republican talking points is it's a state's issue 402 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 7: now and all of that, but I think we very 403 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 7: much know who owns minimizing the reproductive rights for women 404 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 7: in this country, and that person is Donald Trump, and 405 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 7: I think for a lot of women, especially older women, 406 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 7: because if you pay attention to what's happening in Iowa, 407 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 7: where Kamala Harris is doing quite well with are the 408 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 7: women who have to grow up without that being a 409 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 7: right and what. 410 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 6: They don't want to see is things go backwards. 411 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 7: And while I know that there has been this sort 412 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 7: of word play about whether or not there be a 413 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 7: national abortion band where sometimes we hear, you know, where JD. 414 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 6: Van says yes and. 415 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 7: Other people say yes that are around in Trump's a circle, 416 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 7: and he remains not committal. The fact is we can't 417 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 7: afford to take that chance. And you know, particularly when 418 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 7: you have two more Supreme Court justice openings that will 419 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 7: possibly happen in a for the next whoever the next 420 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 7: president is, then you further look at what the other 421 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 7: erosion of rights could look like. So for women, this 422 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 7: is all very serious, and I think one way that 423 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 7: in some ways was a missed opportunity in engaging men 424 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 7: on this issue is understanding that this is not just 425 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 7: a woman's issue. 426 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 6: This is a household issue. 427 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 7: This is an issue for the for the women that 428 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 7: are in these men's lives that they care about, and 429 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 7: we have seen repeatedly, like with what's happening in Texas, 430 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 7: there's just been so much evidence of how harmful this 431 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 7: has been because a lot of these states have triggered laws. 432 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 7: So as soon as Row versus Raid was undercut at 433 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 7: the federal level, trigger laws went into place that plays 434 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 7: very restrictive abortion bands in places, and you are seeing 435 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 7: women dying as a result of this. And so one 436 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 7: of the things that I saw recently that SMBC did 437 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 7: a panel with black male voters and they talked to 438 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 7: the men in particular who who the women in their 439 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 7: lives have been impacted by this. So this is a 440 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 7: very galvanizing issue for women, but it is not just 441 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 7: a women's issue. 442 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 6: It's something that men should to concern themselves about it all. 443 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 7: And look with black voters period, but especially with black men, 444 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 7: I get it, it's frustrating, and I think the pace 445 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 7: of change has been very difficult for our community, period, 446 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 7: but especially for black men. They're looking at, you know, 447 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,239 Speaker 7: feeling displaced economically, feeling displaced from an educational standpoint, and 448 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 7: despite the gains that have been made, sometimes the lack 449 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 7: of progress becomes the headline and not looking at how 450 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 7: the incremental change has actually. 451 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 6: Happened, and so they feel dis engaged. 452 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 7: And I've often said to two men and to black 453 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 7: voters period, and I hope to the men that are 454 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 7: listening to to our conversation, is that the best way 455 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 7: to release your power, or to give up your power 456 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 7: is when people convince you you don't have any And 457 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 7: so by that measure, they have some of the disenchanted voters. 458 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 7: Because I agree with you, I don't think this is 459 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 7: really an issue of more black men voting for Donald Trump. 460 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 7: I think this is black men versus the couch. The 461 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 7: underside is are I'm. 462 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 3: Eithers the couch, but definitely no, we have to be fair. 463 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 4: There's definitely a lot of black men. It's more. 464 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 6: Yes, it's a more. It's an uptick. 465 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: So I don't want to I don't. 466 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 4: Yes, I think the most black men. 467 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a couple of points. Summer when 468 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: I was looking down because I was looking up our 469 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: our rbg's comments about uh the rights the Roe v 470 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: Wade going back to the States, she said there is literally, 471 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing what she said, there is no found nation 472 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: for a national ban or national conversation. This really is 473 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: a state's rights issue, and that is what she said. 474 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure I had that right before 475 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: I came on the air and said that that's paraphrasing 476 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: what she has said in the past, but very clearly 477 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: one of the most important progressive justices on the court, 478 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: perhaps ever thought of the issue of abortion as a 479 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: state's issue. In not having a national footing, I will 480 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: say very clearly, President Trump has not just been clear, 481 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: he's been crystal clear that it should not be a 482 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: national issue, and therefore there cannot be a national ban 483 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: on something that is not a national issue. He went 484 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,959 Speaker 1: further on to say that there are no votes on 485 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: either side, Republican or Democrats. There are not enough votes 486 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: on either side to get it done a national ban. 487 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: So that issue is an issue that is laid to rest, 488 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: without a question. The issue of black voter participation, but 489 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: specifically black men voting. We saw the largest turnout of 490 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: black folks in Georgia and the history of the state 491 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: just in twenty twenty two. I would say that if 492 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: what we see in the polls holds true tomorrow night, 493 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 1: by the time this voting is done. So to speak, 494 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: you'll see the largest increase in Black male support of 495 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: the Republican candidate in my lifetime, almost sixty years. I 496 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: know you thought it was only forty years, but it's 497 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 1: actually one of the reasons why you'll see that is 498 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: what she was just talking about. Educational outcome is in 499 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: fact the primary indicator of income, wealth, position in society, 500 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: and the lack of government intervention in your life, including incarceration. 501 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: And so for us to focus on the primary issue 502 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: negatively impacting black men is to focus on the important 503 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: issue of education. The better your education system, the better 504 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: your results. That's just cart Blanc number two. I'd say economically, 505 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: if we were able to separate the issue, black men 506 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: are frustrated because our paychecks are smaller because of the 507 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: impact of inflation over the last four years, and so 508 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: much so that you can measure it in the frustration 509 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: and in the turnout. This is the last point I'll 510 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: make for all of my life. We as a race 511 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: of voters have been taken for granted by the Democrat 512 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: Party and to a large extent, for a long time, 513 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: ignored by the Republican Party. The Republican Party says, if 514 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: everyone's going to vote against us? Why bother? The Democrats 515 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: party said, if everybody's voting for us, why bother? With 516 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: only one out of four black men being interested did 517 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: and engaging in this process Republican or Democrat. Now both 518 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: parties are engaging with black men. What does that tell me? 519 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: It tells me that power comes from being independent. I'm 520 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: not suggesting you join the Republican Party. I'm not suggesting 521 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: that you leave the Democrat Party. I am suggesting vote 522 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: your values and vote your future. If we do that, 523 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: I think you'll see a strong turnout for the Republican Party, 524 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: not only for Donald Trump, but for Senate candidates as well. 525 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: And hopefully when this election's over, both parties will be 526 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: far more interested and doing what I have already done, 527 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: by the way, which is represent the issues that move 528 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: people forward as one nation, but also as the most 529 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: vulnerable part of the economic link. That's one of the 530 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 1: reasons why I created oppersit to need zones. It's one 531 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I focus on sick of cel anemia. 532 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: Research has led to the crisper breakthrough that now can 533 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: cure SECA cel. It's another reason why I focused on 534 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: HBCUs and in a bipartisan fashion. I worked with Democrats 535 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: and Republicans to restore the opportunity scholarship momentum in DC 536 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: and around the country because if we get education right, 537 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: if we reform the incarceration system, not just the criminal 538 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: justice system, but the incarceration system, more men, particularly of color, 539 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: will have brighter futures. And that's what we have done. 540 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: That is measurable success in reasonable time, and if the 541 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: people vote on their values and their issues, we will 542 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: make great gains. 543 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 5: Speaking of games, I want to go to the gamail 544 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 5: that you want to reply. 545 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 7: I can well what I would say, and in addition 546 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 7: to you know, applying to Scaffoard's work, is that but 547 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 7: you know, look, yes, yeah, you just come me right there, 548 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 7: because I'm sure that'll be a I applaud you for 549 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 7: the work that you've done that in that regard, but 550 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 7: also there is the issue of the George Fluss did 551 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 7: the George Floyd Justice. 552 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 6: And Policing Act, which you were a part of. But 553 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 6: you see any movement. We didn't see any movement on that, and. 554 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 7: There was a lot of there's a lot of reasons why, 555 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 7: and I know that is an issue that is critical 556 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 7: to black men. It also does not help when you 557 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 7: have your presidential candidates saying that the police deserve full immunity, 558 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 7: which is also an issue for black men. And while 559 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 7: as much as the First Step Act, which by the way, 560 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 7: was if i'm and again you're the politician, so you 561 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 7: know this the timelines of this better than I am 562 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 7: than I do. Obviously, Donald Trump signed the First Step Act, 563 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 7: and I know for a lot of black men that 564 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 7: was a very critical piece of legislation. However, that being said, 565 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 7: it was something that was bipartisan in the worst before 566 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 7: he got into office. 567 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 6: But he was able to obviously I were able to 568 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 6: push it through. 569 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 7: But that being said, you have Bill Barr who did 570 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 7: a lot to try to undermine what the First Step 571 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 7: Act was supposed to do. So I when you talk 572 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 7: about voting your values, either there is a disconnect and 573 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 7: what those values are because those are not the values 574 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 7: that I get when I watch your presidential candidate. Is 575 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 7: that I get the exact opposite of everything you just said. 576 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 7: I get him talking about turning guns on protesters. I 577 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 7: get him talking about full immunity for the police. So 578 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 7: as much as I would like to say, oh, let's 579 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 7: not what you want people to do is like not 580 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 7: take them seriously, or that's not what he means. 581 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 6: If I got to that's not what he means. 582 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 7: One more time, it's just like, what's the real vision 583 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 7: of the party, particularly as it relates to this issue, 584 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 7: because what I'm. 585 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 6: Hearing at the top is not the things that you're saying. 586 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: Well, Jamel, I would just question what you're saying in 587 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: light of what we see on both sides of the aisle. 588 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: That's one of the points I was making, Bob Mine 589 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: or something like this. When you look at the first 590 00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: step act, any president, any president before Donald Trump, could 591 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: have had legislation to reform our criminal justice system. They 592 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: just didn't do it. The last time it was done 593 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: it was in the nineteen nineties, when in fact, they 594 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: locked up more black men as a result of the 595 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: move from the Democrat Party to try to squash crime 596 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: in the neighborhoods. 597 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 6: Which were to support it. Don't act like they didn't 598 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 6: because they did. 599 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: No, no, no, But I'm just saying it was sponsored 600 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: by and led by the Democrat Party. That's something we 601 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: can just look up. I'm not going to give you 602 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: my opinion on any of these things because they're really 603 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: too important to just try to make a political punching 604 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: bag out of it. I'm suggesting that Donald Trump could 605 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: have passed on the First Step Act. I'm suggesting that 606 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: he could have not worked with people in our community 607 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: like the ACLU and Heritage Foundation, and the Koch brothers, 608 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: and media personalities who may not want to be named 609 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: in this conversation, who we both probably mayern respect. They 610 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: were at the White House with me when we were 611 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: about to take the pictures. I said, brother, you might 612 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: want to get out of this frame. May not be 613 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: good for your TV contract. And so he said, you 614 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: know what's him, I'm moving out the frame. And so 615 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is that people coming together 616 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: should be the way things get done, but you have 617 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: to have a president willing to push it forward. Talk 618 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: about unqualified immunity for law enforcement. Never a part of 619 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: the first never a part of the of the police reform, 620 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: never a part qualified immunity, always a part of the conversation. 621 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: Qualified immunity suggests that what happened with George Floyd, He's 622 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: going to jail for murder. What happened recently in DC, 623 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: lady getting shot in the face, arrested, What happened with 624 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: in Memphis with the officers beating up the African American 625 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: driver arrested, So we should be careful on explaining the 626 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: difference between qualified immunity and frankly unlimited you just do 627 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: what you want to do, like it'sa a wow, wild West. 628 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: I would not support that one on the police reform 629 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: because we get I mean, I spent two and a 630 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: half years of my life in this process, so I 631 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: know it very well. I offered my friends on the 632 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: other side unlimited amendments to do whatever they wanted to do, 633 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: even though we were seventy percent. Seventy percent of the 634 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: bill was right where we wanted it to be on 635 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,959 Speaker 1: both sides, they walked away. Now they so we would 636 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: come back, and to his credit, not their credit, but 637 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: to his credit, Corey Booker came back and we still 638 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: have conversations about criminal justice reform, I mean police reform 639 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: to this day. We're still working on legislation that we 640 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 1: both have in our files right now that we talked 641 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: about this year, and so the action continues. But many 642 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: of the members that were there with us have decided 643 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: to do something else with their time, and so we 644 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: could go on with that one issue, or talk about 645 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: criminal justice reform, or talk about education. But here's the 646 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: question I keep asking all my friends who happen to 647 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: be Democrats in this out in the black community. It 648 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: is simply this, are you Are you better off now 649 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: than you were? And the answer is no. That's why continue. 650 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 7: It's on who you're talking to, with all due respect, 651 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 7: because I lost my husband, lost his grandmother to COVID. 652 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 7: I lost a very dear friend of mine also to COVID, 653 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 7: And so to tout are you better off now than 654 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 7: you were four years ago, without the context of us 655 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 7: being in a major pandemic of which the president was, 656 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 7: the president being Donald Trump was wildly irresponsible, with of 657 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 7: which remembering yes he was, he was wildly irresponsible, wildly 658 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 7: wildly says that wildly irresponse. 659 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,919 Speaker 1: Let's just take NBC News May of twenty twenty when 660 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: they said it will take five years, if not ten years, 661 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: for there to be a vaccine available to save millions 662 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: and millions upon lives. We said, I was there. We said, 663 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: that is just going to crush the American soul in 664 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: less than twelve months and nine months using mRNA German 665 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: company and an American company and nih CDC fumbled the 666 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: ball for the first four weeks of COVID getting their 667 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: act together under President Trump's direction to get something done. Absolutely, 668 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: without question, the most consequential decision made was to allow 669 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: that public private partnership to produce a vaccine, still the 670 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: controversial vaccine in the eyes of many many people, but 671 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: in the end, millions of lives likely saved through that action. 672 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 7: We could debate so many issues, but what I'm saying 673 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 7: is that when you proposed the question a better off 674 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 7: than four years ago, four years ago, I would have 675 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 7: liked not to have lived through the time of not 676 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 7: being able to leave my house. And there were economic 677 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 7: factors that obviously fluence what some of the pricing was then. 678 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 7: So when you tell the story about what the what 679 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 7: things look like four years ago, we need to tell 680 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 7: the complete story in the full context. 681 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 4: Mister Tim, do you have to leave him? 682 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I've got a TV interview and well 683 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: right the second so I have to go through. Yeah, 684 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: But let me just tose with this, even though I'm 685 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: going to irritate my team real quick here, but at 686 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I hope jaml and I 687 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,479 Speaker 1: come back after the election and have I do lash 688 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: debate about future issues and initiatives that will have a 689 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: positive and negative impact on our community. I'll close of 690 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: my parting thought on COVID. I think it's a really 691 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: important conversation that we can take a deep dive in 692 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: even after this. I don't mind. I don't ever run 693 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: away from a debate. I actually like to have a discussion. 694 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: I like when they're civil. But we've been very civil 695 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: and we're not going to come to the same point 696 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: of agreement. But I will say without question that one 697 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: of the most profound things done during COVID to help 698 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: people who have to go to work. Eighty percent of 699 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: African Americans could not work from home. We had to 700 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: go to our jobs. The government says shut the entire 701 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: economy down. We gave out Pheck protection programs and cash 702 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: to make sure that those who had to go to 703 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: work had extra assistance. That wasn't done perfectly. We'll argue 704 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: that later. 705 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, like I think you probably know what my mind 706 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:25,399 Speaker 6: is say. 707 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: We know for sure nothing's one perfectly, but we also 708 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: know no other administration in the history of the world 709 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: had to deal with a worldwide epidemic or challenge since 710 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen. So we can debate looking back on what 711 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: could have been done or should have been done, but 712 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: if you look forward through it. I'll take that debate 713 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: all day long and hopefully we'll do this in a 714 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks when when I'm available to come back. Unfortunately, 715 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: have five TV hits back to back to back, several hours. 716 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 4: So thank you, thank you. 717 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: Cut y'all short, but I do appreciate your appreciate change 718 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: with our technology challenges.
