1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the day. Donkeys of the

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: day a chuma may.

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: I'm a Democrat, so being donkey of the day is

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: a little bit of a mixed ye.

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: So like a donkey Donkey.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 3: Of the day.

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: The Brectae club bit you.

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 4: Now, I've been called a lot of my twenty three years.

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: That donkey of the day is a new wife.

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 5: Yes, Donkey today for Thursday, December seventh goes to Damien Green,

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 5: who is Damian Green. He is a man who is

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 5: running for city council in Thurston County, Washington, and he

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 5: is a prime example of why voting matters, especially on

14
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 5: a local level. I know, y'all hear all the sayings

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 5: about voting. If your vote didn't matter, why would they

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 5: be trying so hard to take it from you. If

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 5: we don't vote, we are ignoring history and giving away

18
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 5: the future. Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves,

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 5: one another, of this country, in this world. Barack Obama

20
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 5: said there is no such thing as a vote that

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 5: doesn't matter, and I agree with Barack, and this story

22
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 5: is a great example of that. Okay, voter suppression and

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 5: the way they are gutting to vote and right, Zach,

24
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 5: lets me know how much voting matters, especially at the

25
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 5: local level, and that is what This was a local

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 5: election in Thurston County, Washington that Damian Green lost.

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: By one vote.

28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 5: Damn, he was beaten by his opponent two forty seven

29
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 5: to two forty six. One vote cost Damien the election

30
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 5: one vote. But it's not that he lost by one vote.

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 5: It's the fact of who didn't vote that cost him

32
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 5: the election. What do you mean, Uncle Charle, is the

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 5: fact of who didn't vote that cost him the election? Well,

34
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 5: let's go to King five News for the report police.

35
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 6: The council race in Thurston County decided by just one vote.

36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 6: Ryan Roth won the Rainier City Council position number two

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 6: race with two hundred and forty seven votes, one more

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 6: than his opponent's two hundred and forty six. Thurston County

39
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 6: burea chief for Mickelson, was there as the candidates learned

40
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 6: how every single vote counts.

41
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: When the five hundred and fifty five ballots were submitted,

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: tabulation machines called the race as closed as possible. Watching

43
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: the results has been stressful, especially since candidate Roth almost

44
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: did not vote in his own election.

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: I was like this one vote, you know, it's whatevers

46
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen, is gonna happen.

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: I'm not like super worried about it, but my wife

48
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: was pushing it.

49
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: Opponent Damian Green had to work at premier collision. Well,

50
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: the recount was going on.

51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: If the Lord wants me to have it, I'll have it.

52
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: That was his philosophy during the campaign too. He worked

53
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 3: to convince voters but did not vote in his own race.

54
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: I didn't feel comfortable voting for myself. I thought it

55
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: was kind of narcissistic, so I didn't.

56
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: These one vote would have made a.

57
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 5: Different Damian Green lost the vote, I mean lost the

58
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 5: election by one vote because he didn't vote himself. Lost

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 5: the election because he didn't vote himself. He said he

60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 5: didn't feel comfortable. He thought it was kind of narcisstic.

61
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something, man, if you don't celebrate yourself,

62
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 5: nobody will. Okay, this is the prime example that it.

63
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: Don't wait for others to applaud you. Clap for yourself.

64
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: You are worthy of celebration. Clap for yourself loudly and proudly.

65
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 5: The reason Damien really has to get donkey of a

66
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 5: day here because if you didn't vote for himself, that

67
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: means means he didn't vote at all.

68
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Okay, you have to practice what you preached, Damien.

69
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 5: You can't be out here telling people to vote in

70
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 5: voting matters that you didn't even vote.

71
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: And there is nothing wrong with voting for.

72
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 5: Yourself, especially if you believe you are the best person

73
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 5: for the job. Okay, clapping for yourself is important. That's

74
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: the problem with society today. Everyone is always seeking validation

75
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: from others. All of those followers y'all got on social

76
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 5: media that y'all wake up to every day trying to impress.

77
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: They don't love you. They not clapping for you for real.

78
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: They don't like you for real. Those hearts that come,

79
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 5: your hearts that flutter, Okay, when they like your posts,

80
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 5: all right, that's not real love.

81
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Those people aren't showing up for you when you need them.

82
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: But you can and should show up for yourself. You

83
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: should always be your biggest fan, and if you're not,

84
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: something is wrong. Okay, I promise you, Dammian. If you

85
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 5: would have told people that you aren't even voting for yourself,

86
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 5: I don't think people would have voted for you either. Okay,

87
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 5: why would I support someone who's not supporting themselves. Now, Damnian,

88
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: I understand the thought process here. There's been times that

89
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 5: Breakfast Club has been nominated for things, in particular best

90
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 5: Platform at the BET Hip Hop Awards, and you know,

91
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: I vote for those things. I'm on you know, the

92
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: boards and stuff to vote for BT hip Hop Awards

93
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: and BET Awards. I've voted for other people in those

94
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: situations the last two years. I think I voted for

95
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: a million dollars worth a game and drink hips, Sluta,

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 5: Gillian Wallow, Slutherinrii in EFN.

97
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: But that's just because I truly feel the last couple.

98
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: Of years they have been the best solely hip hop platforms.

99
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 5: So it would be disingenuous of me to vote for

100
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 5: Breakfast Club knowing I feel like I don't deserve to win,

101
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 5: so I cast the vote for who I believe she'd win.

102
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: But that's different than running for city council. Okay, if

103
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: you're running for city council, that.

104
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 5: Means you feel like you're the best person for the job.

105
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: So if I was running for a political office, I'm

106
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: absolutely gonna vote for myself.

107
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Laura Laaro said, my tripping should Damian Green have voted

108
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: for himself.

109
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: Larkin, he should voted for himself two times.

110
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Carrie, champion of my tripping, voted for himself.

111
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: No, but you're given a bigger message right here, you preaching,

112
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: you saying listen, if you why do you must be

113
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: validated by other people?

114
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: Right?

115
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: We live in a world where everybody has to tell

116
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: us we're dope, and that's insane, that's insane.

117
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: And if you have a chance to actually validate yourself

118
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: through a vote, why wouldn't you show up for yourself?

119
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 4: Voted for a Breakfast club too.

120
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: I voted for Breakfast.

121
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: I would have voted for.

122
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: I love Gilly Waller, but I voted for myself.

123
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 5: Yeah. But that's why you have a vote, because everybody

124
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 5: has difference of opinion and made the best show win

125
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 5: or I made the best elected, the best of person win.

126
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: When it comes to you know these positions, Please give

127
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: Damian Green the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones.

128
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the dog of the day.

129
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: The dog.

130
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Of the day. All right, Well, thank you for that

131
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: donkey today. That's great. Are you looking at me like that?

132
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: Why are you looking at me like that?

133
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: I think you know what Carrie said is true, and

134
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 5: I didn't even think of it like that, but I mean, yeah,

135
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 5: this is a bigger mess. Like you should clap for

136
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: yourself right, like you should, you know, validate yourself.

137
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: We live in a world where we have to have people,

138
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: and that's what I look. I love social media, I

139
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: understand it, but it really truly determines people's self esteem

140
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: and their worth and their value. This job when you

141
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: are an influencer, these new jobs, all these things, and

142
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: it's and I suffer to him too. I'm not I'm

143
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: not different. I'm not set apart syndrome. Well I have

144
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: that as well. But the reality is is that I'm

145
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: not gonna wait for you to put me on. I'm

146
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: gonna put myself on. Like you can't allow people to

147
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: determine if you are it. Conversation we were having in

148
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: the corner with the brown girls grinding and the brown

149
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: girls dreaming, I'm all like us.

150
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: He's a here. We having serious conversations at you. You

151
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: just don't want to stab at you. Serious conversations.

152
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 7: I can't see my face face right now, I don't know.

153
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: He said, love you. This is what this is love language.

154
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: That's his love language.

155
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: Telling people be like is he as horrible as he

156
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: comes off. I said, it's.

157
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Love language.
