I don't even know what she's 172 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: up in my ass. 173 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: Dedocracy love it. 174 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 3: She came in, I know, and they smelled so good, right, 175 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: So so you know I think that for me, I said, Okay, 176 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do this because you know, if you look 177 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: at our history and the challenges that we have had voting, 178 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: you know, being in positions right, I think that it 179 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 3: was my time and that's why I decided to you know, 180 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 3: throw my hand into rank and actually be a county 181 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: commissioner as they called. 182 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: That's great because I do feel like it's important for 183 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 2: people to rally up and support people who they think 184 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: would be good enoughice because sometimes you may not think 185 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 2: that that's something you even fathom doing. But when people 186 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: are like, you would be great for this, and because 187 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: I think not often enough, we feel like we can 188 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: get very turned off by politics and by politicians. There's 189 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: been a lot happening in Jersey politics in these past 190 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: couple of years too, that is different than it's ever been. 191 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: Like I see a lot of the headlines. My parents 192 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: live in New Jersey. Oh so in South Orange. Oh nice, Yeah, 193 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: so I always am looking at what's happening in New Jersey. 194 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: Of course what's happening in New York, because I live 195 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: in New York. But I always tell people, if you 196 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: don't like what's going on, you should figure out if 197 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 2: you want to run or if you know somebody who 198 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 2: you think would be good to run because you do 199 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: want people to represent you. Someone's going to do it, 200 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: so why not let it be somebody that actually cares 201 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: and has your best interests, you know, in mind. So 202 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 2: that's why seeing you doing what you're doing, and even 203 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: watching Kamala Harris run for president. I know this is 204 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: more of a personal conversation. 205 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: This doesn't have. 206 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: To do with politics, but I've heard people say such 207 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 2: awful things about, you know, a woman running for president, 208 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: a black woman running for president. I've heard people say 209 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: I'm not voting for no Indian lady, or a woman 210 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: can't run this. I've heard women say I don't want 211 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: a woman to be president and she'll be emotional and 212 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: like all kinds of crazy things. And so for you, 213 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: because when she became vice president, I did get emotional, 214 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 2: and I didn't anticipate that happening when it did. When 215 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: she did become vice president. What are your thoughts now 216 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: seeing how the country and how people are acting to 217 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: the potential of having a black woman be president. 218 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm going to take off my secretary of 219 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: State hat right because I have to, you know, operate 220 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 3: on a different lane with that one. But I can 221 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 3: just say it brings such pride. You know. I've been 222 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 3: honored and blessed to serve as one of her campaign 223 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 3: surrogates and the battlegrounds, just making sure everyone understands who 224 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 3: she is and what she can bring to the table. 225 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: And I think that we're at a time in which 226 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: we should not even be looking at the party, right, 227 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 3: or even if this is a male, a person of color, 228 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: a female, we should just be looking at who is 229 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: the most qualified to lead, who can set a standard Angela, 230 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: you know, for our kids. I mentioned at that time 231 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: when I was practicing, I was a county commissioner. I 232 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 3: had three girls at that time. Now I have folk, 233 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 3: you know, and one is ten years old. And you 234 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 3: say to her, you say to all of our kids, right, 235 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: this is the highest position in the land.

And again I look 240 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 3: at her qualifications, right, sound qualifications, having been a district attorney, 241 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 3: state attorney general, fighting the fight just for the common 242 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 3: people that everyday people, regardless of where you come from 243 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 3: or who you are. I look at the standard of her, 244 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 3: you know that actually assaulted in it, you know, and 245 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: not not being a predator right, and not tearing folk apart. 246 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 3: And the thing about it is that if voters really 247 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: look at her economic platform, it's for everyone right to 248 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: make sure everybody can get ahead.

I've heard people say that Donald Trump the 276 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: economy was better under Donald Trump and they have more 277 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: money in their pockets and gas was cheaper, groceries were cheaper. 278 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: What do you say when people say that? 279 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of misinformation out there, and there's 280 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: a lot of times even Trump himself will have to 281 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: get fact checked on things that he says, but it's 282 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: still out there, and I think that in his mind, 283 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: and I know he said this before, if you say 284 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: something enough times, people will think it's true even if 285 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: it's not. You know, he has a marketing background, So 286 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: for people who aren't going to be digging in and 287 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: doing the research. Maybe they're like, I'm not an economists, 288 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: but I do feel like I have more money at 289 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: that time. 290 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: What would you say to those people? 291 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 3: You know, I just think that people should not fall 292 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: for misinformation out there, and I think that people really 293 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: have to remember right the times under his is his tenure, 294 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 3: and if you really think about it, economically, I don't 295 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 3: think that we were better off, right you see, you know, 296 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: people say, oh, well, we received the checks, but everyone 297 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: has to understand Congress was the one with Donald Trump 298 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 3: just slapping his name and I didn't want that to happen. 299 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 2: In Congress passed that exactly those and had those checks out. 300 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 2: He actually delayed those checks that he could put his 301 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 2: name on them exactly. 302 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 3: And that's and that's for real. And you know, I 303 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 3: look at how three hundred thousand Black Americans were taken 304 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 3: off of the healthcare roles, if you will, under his 305 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: administration the first two years, that unemployment for African Americans 306 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: was higher. And these are the things that again, we 307 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 3: must continue to get that message out because these are 308 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: the facts. 309 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: What are some things that you personally have faced when 310 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: it comes to being in the position that you're in 311 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 2: being the Secretary of State, being the lieutenant governor appointed 312 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 2: by Governor Murphy.

You know, when our second daughter, she was 341 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 3: a competitive figure skater, right, and we know that minority 342 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: women really are not in that sport, and so I 343 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: would always say, Farah, you know you're going to have 344 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: to work ten times harder. And that's why we also 345 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 3: have to make sure our ey's are dotted and our 346 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 3: t's are crossed too. I still remember, before I became 347 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 3: Secretary of State, I served as a state administrative law judge, 348 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 3: and you know, at times there would be challenges because 349 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: I was a younger judge too. So I don't know 350 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 3: for certain whether or not it was female, whether it 351 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 3: was my age or my gender, but I would get challenged. 352 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: And that's why I took great pride in knowing that 353 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 3: none of my written decisions ever went up to the 354 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: appellate division because. 355 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: I did the work. 356 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 3: You do the work, so you know, you look at 357 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 3: all of those things and it is what it is. 358 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 3: But I think that each of us were made for 359 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 3: such a time, for an assignment and to do. 360 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: And along those lines, let's talk about this mental health 361 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 2: build that you passed, because I feel like this all 362 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 2: does tie together because mental health is so important, especially 363 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: no matter what it is, like you said that you do, 364 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: you'll be challenged and you have to, you know, dot 365 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 2: your eyes, crush your teas, make sure that you really 366 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: know the work and do the work. But at the 367 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: same time, how do you take care of yourself when 368 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 2: things are happening that are outside of your control at 369 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 2: times and how you react to things. 370 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: So you did sign this mental health buil. Can we 371 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: talk about that? 372 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was pride and enjoy having signed that because 373 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: it's kind of personal for me given I have, you know, 374 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 3: the daughters who have gone through college and one is 375 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 3: actually a senior now and it's a lot of pressure 376 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: that goes on with that. So with that legislature, they 377 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 3: lived through COVID exactly they did. They lived through COVID 378 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 3: and you know college is very competitive too, so you know, 379 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 3: the legislation was just speaking to the heart of all 380 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 3: of this, making sure our college students right will not 381 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: have a stigma if they needed help, making sure that 382 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 3: there's annual training on campuses so that the staff, so 383 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: that the ras can have a better awareness and education 384 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 3: on you know, mental health and being proactive instead of reactive, 385 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 3: and what we also did on myself alongside the Higher 386 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 3: Education Secretary. I want to say, during the spring of 387 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 3: this year, we made the announcement of the twenty four 388 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 3: to seven telehealth services because you know, sometimes you want 389 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 3: your privacy if you will just to discuss you don't 390 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: want to head to student services because you never know 391 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 3: who and who's going to see you or so you 392 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 3: have that other layer of comfort the college students. Because 393 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 3: we're always saying our students are our future, which they 394 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: are there are present in my eyes too well. We 395 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: want to make sure that their whole and that their 396 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 3: needs are met. 397 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: I wish we would have had these services when I 398 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 2: was coming up. I feel like it's a you know, 399 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 2: it's an evolution though, I feel like as people are 400 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: learning more about it and it's getting a lot more acceptable. 401 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: There used to be this stigma around that. 402 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 2: Lastly, I saw you early voting right on the day 403 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 2: that early voting opened up. So we want to make 404 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: sure that everybody knows to go out and vote. 405 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: You can vote early. 406 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: So vote early. 407 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, vote early if you can. 408 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 2: Are you nervous about like seeing stories about ballot boxes 409 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: set on fire? 410 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: And I thought about it. 411 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: I'm like, what happens to those ballots that get destroyed 412 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 2: after that? Because I've we've seen a couple of different 413 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: instances now where that's happened, and that because I feel 414 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: like that can make people feel concer like, well, I 415 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: voted early and my vote got you know, my ballot 416 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 2: got destroyed. 417 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: Now what happens? 418 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 3: Yeah.

I think this past weekend we surpassed 422 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: our total early voting throughout the years because we started 423 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one with the in person early voting. 424 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 3: I also, you know, I reassure voters and from day 425 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 3: one ever since you know, I took office. I've sat 426 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: down and this is not partisan.
