1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: All right, So Steve, you know, we're so happy to

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: have you back and everything, but it's so much going on.

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: So much has been going on with this year's presidential

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: election election since you left. Well, President Biden withdrew from

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: the race. You know that he endorsed Kamala Harris, our

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: VP for president. Now. So so did former President Obama

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: Clinton and most recently former President Jimmy Carter, who said

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: he hopes to live long enough to vote for Kamala.

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: That's deep right there, That's deep.

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what it was like, it was pretty

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: interesting because from my standpoint, you know, I was out

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: the country when the news came down, and everywhere I went,

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: people go, your president is quitting?

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: What is wrong? You know? Like I know, but I

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: thought it was really really good for.

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Him to step down at this time because it just

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: wasn't a good look and it was it wasn't making

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: his supporters feel reassured with his performance in the debate.

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: I thought that Van Jones' assessment of it was a

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: bit harsh when I heard it on CNN right after debate.

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: Van Jones was the first one who came out and

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: said he should step down, And I thought that was

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: a bit harsh, but he was so correct because I

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: didn't think he would step down. But you know, in

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: his condition and being, I think his main concern should

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: be to just take care of his health and rest

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: and preserve his life because if he is in this

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: condition right now, where we're going to be in two years.

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: Let loan four. So I thought it was great of

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: him to step down.

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: He's done a great job, but he doesn't have the

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: energy to continue.

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: But Kamala Harris, let me tell you something.

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: When I was in Atlanta and I interviewed her, Monica

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: was down there with me. And when I went down

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: there to interview her at the one hundred Black Men conference,

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: and I sat on stage with her, and I was

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: hurt the interview the selected person to interview her. When

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: she got through with that, I said that I had

40
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: never seen that version of Vice President Kamala Harris because

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: I hadn't talked to her in a while. She was

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: making so many strong, valid points and she was so assertive.

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: Not at the time, I had no idea that she

44
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: was going to be the nominee, but I felt really

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: good and she got a standing ovation from that crowd,

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: and I just think that the energy that she's put

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: into this election has been just what was needed. I

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: was so happy because all I can get to stuff

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: is on the internet because they don't care nothing about.

50
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: That on TV.

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Can I ask you this, Steve, did you hear about

52
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: the black women or Kamala the zoom calls the black men,

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: the white dudes for Kamala, the.

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: Black men and all of that support. It's just been

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: disports needed and out the gate. And it's also going

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: to expose our voting power again.

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 3: Again.

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: This election will expose our power at the polls. So

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: for everybody who has been wanting to say, I ain't

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: voting for nobody unless they have an agenda for black people,

61
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: please listen to me. Nobody can go with an agenda

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: for black people, no more than a person can stand

63
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: up and say, here's an agenda for white people.

64
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: You already know when they included. You just have to

65
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: see where you fit in.

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: Now. There are things that the Biden administration has done

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: that has greatly benefited the black community, but you can't

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: go in there with just a black issue because you

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: got to pass it by too many white people in

70
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: the Senate and the House.

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: They're having to do that.

72
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: They're already trying to get rid of black history in schools,

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: trying to get rid of diversity issues. They've already gotten

74
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: rid of affirmative action. So hey, look man, we got

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: to continue to show our strength at the polls and

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: then put the people of our choice in office. And

77
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: this again is a great opportunity for us to show

78
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: This is a great opportunity for us to show our

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: voting power. And Kamala Harris is the right person to

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: get behind it. I just want I want to see

81
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 2: a debate.

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: Good luck, we do too.

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: But Trump is running.

84
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: A good vice president pick. That's the I think that's

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: the key as well, in the right person. Yeah, I

86
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: don't know who is it. Are they talking about a

87
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: front runner?

88
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean they have Josh Shapiro out of Pennsylvania.

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: They have uh Mark Kelly out of Arizona. They have

90
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: some good people and the Waltz Tim Will of Minnesota.

91
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: I think those are the top three.

92
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: There's a lot of there's a lot of Republicans coming

93
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: out in support Kamala has.

94
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: To Republicans for Kamala.

95
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we've just got to be smart as a

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: voting block to not get distracted by the noise. You

97
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: know this, man, Donald Trump keeps saying I've done more

98
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: for black people since President Lincoln.

99
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: Okay, what what what you know?

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Man?

101
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: Y'all, y'all got to quit letting people just say anything

102
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: to you. If you've done so much for black people,

103
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: then just show me what. If you are black for Trump,

104
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: show me how Trump is for blacks.

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: I just show me that.

106
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 2: Or are you running your mouth and y'all stop being

107
00:05:53,560 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: don't worry about the Amber Roses and the Candice Parkers.

108
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: Nobody.
