<v Speaker 2>That's a good beat.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, helps my heart. So anyway, the rundown for today

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 1>things will be talking about. When I woke up this morning,

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw a tweet that said that Chuck Edwards ends

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>his reelection bid in North Carolina. By the way, filing

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>is over, primaries are over. So why would somebody who

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>is a member of Congress in their reelection bid overnight.

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 1>It's because that Ethics Committee investigation was coming back talking

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>about sexual harassment in a hostile work environment. So idios

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Edwards in the western part of North Carolina. Ohio

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Republican Senate candidate Max Miller. Actually he's not a Senate candidate.

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Max Miller is a House candidate, but he answers questions

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>about alleged child abuse on CNN with Jake Tapper. Now

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>his father in law is in the Ohio Senate. We'll

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>get into all of that. Trump administration is ending the

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Medicare Part D subsidy, which is used to keep prescription

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>drug prices in check. I want to talk to Mark

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Cuban about that one day. But the crazy part about

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>this is they were going to protect Medicare now they're not.

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Forbes put together a list to the twenty biggest money

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>getters in podcasting. Angela Raie was number twenty one, so

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>she didn't make the list.

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Focus I was not on that list.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about it.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 3>What I want to be in that number? Marching to

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 3>the top podcast list.

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Haitian immigrants in Ohio being forced to wear ankle monitors.

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>That's wild. Microsoft warrens travelers about using Hotel Wi Fi

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and Darlene Graham in her first debate as candidate for

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina's Senate seat. Also later in the episode, we'll

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>get into our favorite topic this cycle.

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Can you didn't even make a complete thought, Darlene?

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>What Graham in her first debate is candidate for South

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Carolina senency.

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 3>That is not the headline. The headline is she's one

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent with Trump.

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh I didn't. I mean, we can talk about that too.

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>But the headline is that their first debate, and she's

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>actually said subject verb Trump the entire debate. She looked

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>very weak up there. But we'll see what happens and

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>later and later in episode we'll get into what we

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>always talk about, which is what prets. We'll talk about

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>between now and January of two thousand and nine, Modern

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Democrats versus.

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Progressive two thousand and nine.

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean twenty nine, sorry, twenty twenty nine after the presidency.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are you with us.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Or not me?

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I need to know you're ready for this job.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm president, I'm president, accounted for twenty and twenty nine maind.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Of confusing things, y'all, this is just the rundown. Please

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 3>put called the rundown.

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to get through it all so we could

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about anyway. We're talking about moderi Democrats versus progressives,

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>particularly what happened in Tuesday's primaries. We'll have Maurice Mitchell

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>from the Working Families Party on to talk about the

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>results and maybe have a little let.

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Me find out we're gonna need Timbaland and Swiss beats

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 3>up buses.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm tired of this versus.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>No, We'll be okay. It's a lot, it's too much.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh the start off? I want to play this clip

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>from Jake Tapper where Ohio House candidate and congressional member

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Matt Miller.

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Are you starting off? F y s A.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Do we have to call it such? Did you tell?

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just figured they know. Anyway, Now it's time.

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 3>This is rough.

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, guys.

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, now it's time. Now It's time for your situational

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>awareness also known as PAISA, PISA, f y s A.

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Is that okay? Is that okay? Now?

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I just missed I miss Andrew when you say FIZA,

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 3>because do you guys always call it FISA and this

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 3>is not the real FISA, It's f YSA. But anyway,

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 3>miss you, uh.

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>My, my guy. We're going to start with the Ohio

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 1>congressman and House member candidate Max Miller.

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Is there not need to be bigger? What the is

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:43.799
<v Speaker 2>the problem?

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 3>This nothing?

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm just talking through it. Can you roll the clip?

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Can you the clip? Can you roll the clip? Nick? Please?

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Thank you?

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 5>Because there is a police report from the suspected child

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 5>of youse incident in February involving your daughter, and that

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 5>report details that the child protection team says that your

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 5>child had to write classical fracture and quote a bruise

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 5>that accompanies the injury that appears to be in a

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 5>handprint and appears to have been inflicted unquote. Now, your

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 5>ex wife stated to police that your child told her

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 5>in the days leading up to the discovery of the

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 5>injury quote daddy kill you. And your ex wife also

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 5>said your child had said daddy angry and Daddy's house

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 5>is scary. Now, according to your wife, your daughter articulated

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 5>these statements to children in family services. So can you

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 5>explain why your child may have said those things?

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 6>Jick, I wish you could talk to my beautiful baby girl.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 6>She can't string together sentences like that. She's two and

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 6>a half years old. She doesn't have the ability to

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 6>articulate any of what you just said. That is an

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 6>entire fabrication of the truth. I have actual video, actual documentation.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 6>Didn't you just tell me that told me that she

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 6>had said that she was scared to go to mommy's house.

0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>She knows and I have video of it.

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 5>And now you're saying that she's not capable of saying

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 5>daddy kill you. I mean, it seems like she's either

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 5>because able to say one but not the other. That

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 5>doesn't make sense, Jake, Max, Max, to be very direct,

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 5>this is incredibly disturbing.

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 6>I am not going to my child to say Daddy

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.719
<v Speaker 6>kill you. You have to look at the timing of everything

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 6>that is taking.

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Place, right what about kid process.

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 6>I have already been through these investigations and I know

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 6>that I've said that now three times and we're kind

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 6>of just blowing past this. But these are individuals who

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 6>do their jobs to protect kids in the main job

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 6>of the court, and the main job of Child Protective

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 6>Family Services, and the main job of our judge who

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 6>has been appointed to our divorce case is to make

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 6>sure that our daughter is safe. And every single one

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 6>of those individuals has agreed with me.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Listen, let me give you a little let me give

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you a little context, and then I want to hear

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>from you. So this individual, just so you know, Max

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>individual is in the United States House. His wife is

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the daughter of United States Senator Bernie Moreno. Bernie Moreno,

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>added a little context, says that he picked his granddaughter

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>up from Max Miller's Sunday at the police station that

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>we have to go to meet because I don't know

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>what this guy is capable of. And Miller wouldn't hand

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>over his daughter's favorite little blue bunny and literally held

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>it hostage for forty eight hours. This is the man

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>who's running for reelection in the great state of Ohio.

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, Angela, you know, I.

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Think that the bunny hostage situation is a little bit

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 3>not as important to me as the daddy kill you

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 3>remark it's a stuff buddy or is it a real

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 3>blue buddy.

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Stuff funny?

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Like, I can't put those on the same page.

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 3>It's a false equivalence here going on. So sorry about

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 3>the buddy, but I want the little girl to be

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 3>safe in the mom he seems like a pathological liar

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.080
<v Speaker 3>in that clip. I also want to know why he

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 3>represents Ohio and is in LA right now. I'm just curious.

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it has he's at a fundraiser or whatever. But

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 3>then I want to know what hods are giving this

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 3>dude money. Like he seems like a sociopath. So anyway,

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 3>shout out to Jake our guy for a good interview.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Daddy kill you needs to resign, though in the fact

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 3>that he was like, why would I say daddy kill you,

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 3>dumb ass? That's not what you said, That's what she heard.

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 3>That's her repeating a back friend.

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>And Bernie Moreno, never to be confused as anything other

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>than a Trump Republican, had this to say about his

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>son in law as well. If there are any basic

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>standards of care to require to hold elective office, Max

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.959
<v Speaker 1>of Representatives. I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>help to end the clear pattern abuse of abuse he

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>has left in his wake. That's a lot of drama

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>right there. You want to thank j six Er. Yeah,

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to talk about Microsoft, Angela, what you got

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I do?

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of violence, let me tell y'all about how these

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Russian hackers are trying to be all in your feed.

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Now when you log into hotel Wi Fi like mccari

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 3>right now, Let's hope he stays with us. There's a

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 3>page that's going to come up for Microsoft. It is

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 3>going to try to get you to log in there.

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 3>If you're at a hotel and a Microsoft page comes up,

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 3>dead giveaway, you're about to be hacked.

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 2>I think we have a clip for this.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 3>Let's roll it.

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 7>Good morning, Michael. If you're traveling this summer, you might

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 7>want to think twice before logging into the hotel Wi Fi.

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.199
<v Speaker 7>And a new alert, Microsoft is warning that it identified

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 7>widespread compromise of Wi Fi networks at hospitality related organizations.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 7>Russian backtackers will use hotel Wi Fi networks to target travelers.

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 7>The hackers create these fake pages that look like real

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 7>Microsoft three sixty five logins, then they'll steal your credentials

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 7>or send mailware, and these pages can look very realistic.

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 7>Microsoft publish an example of a fake three sixty five

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 7>Windows update that looks like this one there. Microsoft says

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 7>you should assume that public and hotel wi fi networks

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 7>might not be trust worthy.

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Using your phone.

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 7>As a hotspot is a safer option, but make sure

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 7>that you check your plans data allowance first, and if

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 7>you are using three sixty five, consider passwordless log in

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 7>options like passkeys or multi factor authentication.

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 3>George, So, y'all be safe.

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>You here, I'm a hotel WiFi right now, got me

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>all nervous.

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Just make sure you don't use The main point is

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 3>if you're at a Hyatt or Hilton or the Salamander

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 3>or whatever, make sure that is what it says on

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 3>the page. If it says Microsoft three sixty five, don't

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 3>do it, y'all. You know these emails you keep getting

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 3>that says you got a document. You know you not

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 3>expected a document from Joe. Blow it safeway, don't open it.

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the bottom line, y'all. Just think through this, Okay,

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 3>like this misinformation on Instagram, Just be careful.

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Be careful. Also, South Carolina, be careful, Darlene Graham. After

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.719
<v Speaker 1>saying she would not run for a full term, now

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>she's saying she is going to run for a full

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>term because her leadership is proven. She done nothing, y'all.

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.319
<v Speaker 1>But they did have their first debate. A bunch of

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Trumper still on stage of Blast from the Past was

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>on stage, and another than mister lost on the Appalachian Trail,

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Mark Sandford, who is running for the United States Senate

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Daddy wasn't even tracking that. That is funny, as he

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 3>he'd have found his way back to glory.

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he's he's running third or fourth right now

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>in the polls. But listen to Darling Brown.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Do he still got the girlfriend he went on and

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 2>disappearing that way?

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>No, It is the crazy part about it is his sins.

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 1>His sins ain't even comparable to the ones we're watching

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>right now play out in front of us.

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 3>They're like, he all right, all right, it's here for

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 3>forty eight hours.

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, It's okay. Playest clip from Darling and Graham

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>is he mumble subject verb Trump.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 8>This one's easy. This is I think another reason President

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 8>Trump endorsed me. I'll be glad to stand with President Trump.

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.839
<v Speaker 8>Anybody that's here ill in police, they need to be

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 8>walked right back out of our country immediately. I'm all

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 8>for supporting and funding ICE. I support law enforcement. President

0:11:55.000 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 8>Trump has done a great job. These people, they take

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 8>their jobs, They run up the cost of health care

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 8>because they're receiving free health care. So again, I think

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 8>President Trump has done a fabocary our borders, and I'll

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 8>continue to.

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 9>Stand with them.

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, for Trumps and two citizens.

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 2>That is there a song about gravity.

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying I'm not doing that.

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm just wondering I should probably be quiet with this.

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Didn't in my forehead from my higher dose cap. But

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, maybe she needs like therapy.

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>That's Darling Graham. That is Lindsey Graham's sister, who has

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>spent the last few weeks grieving the loss of her

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>seventy one year old brothers who adopted her when she

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>was younger, her and her children, and now she's running

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 1>for her Senate seat with no record. But the primary

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 1>is actually next week on the eleventh, so voters don't

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>even get a lot of time to better.

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.839
<v Speaker 3>If you guys just need a cautionary tale, just know

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 3>that if you tell lies and if you work for

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 3>bad candidates, your face will start sliding down. That's what

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 3>I want you to know from that. What are we

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 3>doing next?

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>B Okay, one of the things that they ran on

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>was not. One of the things they ran on was

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>not bothering your medicare right. They were going to leave

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>your Medicare alone. The Trump administration is ending the Medicare

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Part D subsidy in twenty twenty seven. The reason I

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>felt so so so strongly about making sure that we

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 1>talked about this today is because a lot of seniors

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that listen to this show, listen to this pod, They're

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.839
<v Speaker 1>the ones who are at risk from this cut. And

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>what happens when this cut goes into effect if it does,

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 1>is that your prices for proscription drugs will rise exponentially.

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Medicare Part D is the government's health insurance program for

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>people who do not know, and it's used for tens

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of millions of elderly and disabled beneficiaries. This is something

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 1>that CMS and mamett Oz also known as doctor Oz,

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have been working towards and making sure that they eliminate

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Part D. So for all of those elderly citizens, you

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>know who voted for Donald Trump because he was going

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to be good for them. Make sure you show them

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>a picture of this. And you know, it's not all

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 1>about what he does to them or the brown folk

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>at the border, but what he's doing to us too,

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>poor folk, to old folks. It doesn't even matter. So

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>watch out for Medicare party. He is getting a lot

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of pushback from Republicans in the Senate, as

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you can imagine during an election year, but at the

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, it's his decision, you know.

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I just want to say something else.

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 3>My grandmother used to love doctor Oz and she would

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 3>be telling us what Doctor I said. I just need

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 3>for all of the black grandmothers out there to know

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 3>that this man is not on your side, and it's

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 3>certainly not on the side of your medicare.

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 2>That's all I want them to know.

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to us about James Talerca.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 3>So on Breakfast Club Tuesday, I interviewed James Talerico with

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 3>our brother Leonard and dear brother DJ Envy. Is a

0:14:55.560 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 3>really amazing conversation and to me, one of the pain

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 3>things that I've been hearing from folks in Texas is

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 3>deep concern about the divide between and we've talked about

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 3>on the show, the divide between he and Jasmine.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 2>He tried to put a lot of that to rest yesterday,

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and I.

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Commend some of what he said, but there is an

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 3>elephant in the room that I want to get to

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 3>as well.

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 2>But let's roll this clip. First, two weeks ago, you

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 2>were at a town hall.

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I know Keith Edwards came up, Rogue DNC came up,

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 3>the folks who were adamant about attacking Jasmine online, and

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 3>you said that you wanted them to keep Jasmine's name

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 3>out of their mouths.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the primary is over. Do you wish you would

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>have said that sooner?

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 10>The first day that the congressman got in the race,

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 10>I put out a video on social media, sent it

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 10>to our fifty thousand volunteers, send it to our entire

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 10>campaign staff, every person who worked for the campaign, and

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 10>you go back and watch it. It was in December,

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 10>and I said that Congressman Crockett is my friend, she

0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 10>is a leader, and she deserves our utmost respect. And

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 10>then I kept repeating it throughout the campaign because I

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 10>kept seeing this vitriol on social media, and obviously I

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 10>can't police every single comment section. But I can show leadership,

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 10>and you know, I look back and it's possible I

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 10>could have showed more leadership, because again, this is so

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 10>much bigger than me. It's so much bigger than Congressman Crockett.

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 10>I mean, we have to win this race. People are

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 10>dying in our state because of policies that have been

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 10>passed by the extremists in Texas, and so this is

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 10>a lot bigger than any of us. And people online,

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 10>especially people who don't live in Texas, who are just

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 10>like pushing their own agenda or trying to make some

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 10>kind of political point at our expense. I'm like, we

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 10>don't have time for that. We have to win to

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 10>help our people in Texas. And so whatever agenda you have,

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.280
<v Speaker 10>whatever clicks or likes you're trying to get on social media,

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 10>take that elsewhere, because we have work to do in Texas.

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 9>What it does help you campaign? Right, Like, Like, I

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 9>want you to really answer this question. If you saw

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 9>these coded I guess racial dog whistles that were undermining

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 9>Jasmine Crockett, it doesn't really behoove you to step out

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 9>there and be like, hey, don't do that, because you still.

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 10>Want to win right, well, so I would disagree because

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 10>attacks on the congresswoman I think make it harder for

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 10>us to win this general election because the whole coalition

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 10>has to be together. Like in Texas, there's no way

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 10>for any one of our communities to win this election alone.

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 10>And so we need Black Texans to win this race.

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 10>And then if you know, when we win this race

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 10>in November, I'll represent the most African Americans of any

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 10>senator in the country. And so all these attacks have

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 10>I think hurt our campaign, they have hurt our coalition,

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.920
<v Speaker 10>They've hurt our chances of winning in November. I still

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 10>think we're going to win, but this has made it harder.

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.439
<v Speaker 9>I would say that was one of the racial dog

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 9>wiss that they said that she wasn't electable, like you

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 9>could win stay wide, but she couldn't.

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.639
<v Speaker 10>And I got asked about this on the view on

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 10>national television and they asked me point blank, like do

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 10>you think Congressman is elected?

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Boy?

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.920
<v Speaker 10>I said absolutely, And I said, you know, if she

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 10>wins this primary, like I'm going to be behind her

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:10.120
<v Speaker 10>one thousand percent. Whis our relationship Now, obviously the primary

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 10>was difficult. We've exchanged some messages. I was blown away

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 10>by the fact that the morning after the primary, I

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 10>mean like early the next morning, Congressman Crockett was out

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.640
<v Speaker 10>there with a statement endorsing me in the entire ticket.

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 10>If I'm being very honest, I don't know if I

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 10>if I could have done that the morning after, right,

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.080
<v Speaker 10>I would probably have to take up a day before

0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 10>I was ready to come out really and do that.

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean it's hard because you said, you know,

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 9>it's all about winning this of course.

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.239
<v Speaker 10>But I mean, but we're all still human beings, right,

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:42.879
<v Speaker 10>Like you can know the work is important and it

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 10>can still hurt you personally.

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I think that.

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 2>He had some answers that were compelling. I think the

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:51.879
<v Speaker 2>challenge that I.

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Have with the talleryco campaign now, And I am kicking

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 3>myself because I didn't get a chance to come back

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 3>and ask him about black staff, black vendors on this

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:05.880
<v Speaker 3>particular campaign. He's pledged to commit twenty five million dollars

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 3>almost a month ago to galvanize and move black voters.

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 2>There has been.

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 3>There has been a push by black operatives and strategists,

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 3>including our friend Ashley Aten, to get him to really

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 3>focus in on this be accountable to this because that

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 3>is the only way to truly repair. He's got to

0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 3>go out and talk to the voters that Jasmine had

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:37.959
<v Speaker 3>because of who she is and how she's represented them,

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.119
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't have those same relationships. He has done this

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.159
<v Speaker 3>with Latino voters, but he's not done it yet with

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Black voters. So the commitment is great, but there's got

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 3>to be dollars behind that commitment, particularly when you look

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 3>at what happened with the DNT autopsy. You don't want

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 3>to repeat those same mistakes over and over again, state

0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 3>by state, city by city.

0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought his answers. I listened to the whole interview.

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I thought his answers were very compelling.

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 1>He is someone who a lot like Pete Budage, gives

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.120
<v Speaker 1>a great interview like they really don't. They really don't

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:11.480
<v Speaker 1>have bad answers. They're able to put words together in

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 1>ways that make you think and nod your head, and

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.359
<v Speaker 1>like I understand, you might not agree with everything, but

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the way they said it, it sounds good. It makes

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.639
<v Speaker 1>you feel good. I was not a lot and I

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 1>just but I do wish you would have asked that question,

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, that question doesn't just need to be

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.880
<v Speaker 1>asked of him either, but he needs to be asked.

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Of every candidate and be I'm so mad because I

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 3>threw it into an end of a question and I

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 3>was gonna come back to it, but shout out to

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.440
<v Speaker 3>James sal Rico. Should he become senator? He damn sure

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.879
<v Speaker 3>ready because he could fill a bust. Okay, So he

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 3>was going and for me, you know, I got add

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 3>I forgot like I was and me and Lenard meant

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 3>to ask him that.

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 1>So we've seen we've seen campaigns raise one hundred million

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>dollars and not create one black millionaire.

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and that's ridiculous that that should be.

0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you. I think that we have got to

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 3>do better about how we hold candidates accountable to that.

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 3>We welcome, of course, James Talerco on this show, and

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 3>we also welcome our next Why I say, topic.

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>That's on you?

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh it is?

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 1>What is it? It is? Capital one? Baby?

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, let's go to it.

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.719
<v Speaker 3>So, y'all's dirty president who is a convicted felon who

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 3>didn't have to serve any time. And I'm not mad

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 3>at folks that have convictions on their record, but I

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.119
<v Speaker 3>am mad at this one. Because he stays cheating. Donald

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Trump had some accounts closed in twenty twenty one because

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Capital One says there were concerns over possible money laundering.

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 3>This is according to an AP article. Several other authlets

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:46.160
<v Speaker 3>have reported on this. It flags financial activity that had

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:50.200
<v Speaker 3>characteristics of money laundering. This was of course disclosed in

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 3>a court filing over the weekend. Capital One was sued

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 3>by Trump and they're asking that the lawsuit be dismissed.

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 3>So I just think this is fascinating because here he

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 3>is suing these banks. There's also a suit where he's

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 3>seeking damages of five billion dollars from JP Morgan. Your

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 3>guys out here violating a monument, violating common sense, violating

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 3>good morals, and just cheating, like a good old fashioned cheating.

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.360
<v Speaker 1>What people don't realize. And this is what I tell

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.520
<v Speaker 1>people when they come to me. They're like, man, I

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>want to suit X y Z. I'm like, no, you don't,

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, yes, I do. They did me wrong,

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:37.159
<v Speaker 1>And I'm reminded, have you ever been through a discovery process? Hello, Like,

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 1>not only do you get to ask them whatever they want,

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to ask them, they get to ask

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 1>you vice versa. And when you get under oath in

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 1>a deposition, they can ask you literally anything under the sun,

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and your lawyer can object, but they gonna sit there

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and be like, you got to answer. I mean, you

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>have to answer the question. And so that Donald Trump's

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 1>going through that right now. He sued Capital One and

0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Capital Blue and was like, bet their lawyer's real I bet.

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's go get this discovery. Let's go through this process

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and let's put you into oath and see what you got.

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's remind you of your money laundering ways.

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 3>And this is part of when he was not president,

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.920
<v Speaker 3>So this should be something that he could be held

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 3>criminally liable for should the FEDS, which that ain't gonna happen,

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 3>investigate him for money laundering, which we know he probably

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 3>hasn't engaged in allegedly, we'll say, because you know he's

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 3>also litigious.

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, listen next.

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>So, No, we wanted to talk about the Haitians because

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I think we forgot a lot about them after jd

0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Vance and after the election cycle where they disparaged our

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Haitian brethren in Ohio. But you put this, you brought

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>this up, So I wanted you to talk about this

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 1>that revoked TPS status for Haitian immigrants and what they

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:50.119
<v Speaker 1>got going on in Ohio.

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we know that. In June, the Supreme Court ruled

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 3>on TPS, which is temporary Protected status for Haitian migrants

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 3>and several other folks from other countries. This impacts more

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:07.119
<v Speaker 3>than three hundred and fifty thousand Haitians in our country.

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 3>The Trump administration is giving Haitian migrants in Ohio two options.

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 3>Either they can be immediately removed from the country, or

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 3>they can be forced to wear ankle monitors. So Bakari,

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 3>there is a clip of folks walking out of these

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 3>offices with these ankle monitors on, after having been forced

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 3>to make this very difficult decision to respond to remain

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 3>in the country with an ankle monitor or leave immediately.

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 11>Dozens of Haitian immigrants in Ohio are being tracked with

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:40.880
<v Speaker 11>ankle monitors. I just got back from filming in Blue Ash,

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 11>a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, where there's a DHS facility.

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 11>This past week there have been rumors that there could

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 11>be an ice surge across the state of Ohio. Those

0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:51.959
<v Speaker 11>rivers got a bit more real today. Haitians have been

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 11>receiving letters from DHS officials saying to report at summons

0:24:56.160 --> 0:25:00.159
<v Speaker 11>at local DHS facilities in Cincinnati and Columbus. Any of

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 11>these notices didn't explain why Ignite Peace, an organization based

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 11>out of Cincinnati, organize a rally outside the DHS facility.

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 11>From what we've learned, there's only been about several dozen

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 11>or about fifty Haitian immigrants across the state that had

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:17.400
<v Speaker 11>to report to these summonings. What's strange is all those

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 11>individuals have lived in the country for more than four

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 11>or five years, have no criminal history, and they have

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:27.359
<v Speaker 11>pending asylum cases, meaning they have protections from deportation. Instead

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 11>of being detained, they were all given ankle monitors and

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 11>were told they cannot leave their residents more than seventy

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 11>five miles and have to stay within the state of Ohio,

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 11>and of course they were encouraged to self deport back

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 11>to Haiti. They were also told they have to come

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 11>back for a follow up in the next two or

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 11>three weeks and not told any further details. Since this

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 11>group is protected, it raised the question why are they

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 11>being targeted? And with fifty thousand Haitians living in Ohio,

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 11>it seems unlikely that DHS has their resources to outfit

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 11>that many people.

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 1>With ankle monitors.

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 11>So what are we looking at here? Is some new

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.879
<v Speaker 11>scare tactic or some new ice strategy. What do you

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 11>think is happening? Let me know in the comments below.

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:12.120
<v Speaker 3>This is a clip from journalists and photographer Eli Hiller thinking, Nick,

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 3>this is devastating to see and those ankle monitors are like,

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 3>that's such, it's such a mark of shame, you know.

0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 3>I just I really don't like how inhumanness is uns.

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>That, I mean the inhumanity and you you you pose

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:29.399
<v Speaker 1>the question, and this isn't a pushback on you, but

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 1>as a decision, But from any of these folks, it

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 1>ain't no decision to go back to Hadio. Whether or

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>not they walk around with an ankle monitor, they have

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to walk around with that mark of shame as you

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>described it. But this is also another point in time

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:42.680
<v Speaker 1>where we wouldn't be knowing about this story. But for

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 1>independent journalism as well, that's right, And so this is

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 1>why when we talk about an individual journalism, when we

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about podcasts, when we talk about people even even

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 1>our brother Don Lemon, who just has a camera walking

0:26:56.119 --> 0:27:00.439
<v Speaker 1>around covering stories of great import This is why there's matters,

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and so my prayers go out to a country that

0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>we never thought we'd see. I don't think, but this

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>is what happens when we elect bad people in the office.

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you horrible, horrible people.

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:18.879
<v Speaker 1>About independent journalists and meet people making moves. I wanted

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that I gave a shout out to

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.359

<v Speaker 1>the mighty God I serve has some plans for us.

<v Speaker 1>happy we going to Hollywood.

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:01.360

<v Speaker 1>Okay, what are you going?

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I promise I believe that you might have ingesticed marijuana

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 3>this today. I can't figure this out.

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I'll be moving a lot slower. I'm actually in a

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 1>really good movement. My brain has been clicking.

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:21.919
<v Speaker 3>Is it the hot yoga?

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Did the hot yoga by your brain cells?

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.880
<v Speaker 1>The hot yoga got me going crazy? But listen, Joe

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Budden is number fifteen with twenty million dollars in Charlemagne

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to God is number ten with twenty seven million. Let

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:34.439
<v Speaker 1>me hold something. But I'm proud of them. The thing

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to talk to you about, Angelaurai, before

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 1>we get into our topic for the day, is that

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>notably missing from these twenty individuals, where there were no

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:45.720
<v Speaker 1>black women, there were white women. There were some some

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of white men, some black memory.

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Of our lives, I know, but like how it is

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 3>the story of our lives?

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 1>How do we fix that? What does that look like

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 1>in this space? Because you are somebody who who owns

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 1>two executive producers, who hosts, who does all these things,

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm just a handsome face, and so I'm

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out how you tell it? What can

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>we how do we how do we improve this space

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 1>for black folks and black women in particular.

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea, Actually, I'm just being honest. I

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 3>texted Leonard and asked him to send something in for

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 3>what should happen. And the reason for that is I

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 3>think the people on the list have to create space.

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 3>I think Lenard does a really good job of that.

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 3>For example, with Black Effect, he found it and was like,

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 3>the first person he's going to get is Dolly, and

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Dolly has been killing it as leading Black Effect. The

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Mental Wealth Alliance is now led by Debbie Brown. Leonard

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:48.240
<v Speaker 3>doesn't just put on his sister friends. He also made

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 3>sure that he creates space in the in the places

0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:53.680
<v Speaker 3>where he has kind of the power of and the

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 3>real estate to ensure that folks have a voice and

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 3>a platform. I don't know what would have to shift.

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 3>If we covered gossip and bs, we would probably be

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 3>closer to the top. If it was like, you know,

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 3>all the fun and skipping and skating and eating candy,

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 3>we would probably be fine. But I think it's hard

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 3>in this environment right now to be talking politics when

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 3>people would rather just bury their heads in the sand

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 3>to avoid it. I also think that this is representative

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:40.000
<v Speaker 3>of a larger issue in industries across the globe. Black

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 3>women are underrepresented, even if they are hyper educated, hyper prepared.

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 3>The wind beneath the wings of many exits many a

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 3>mini exec whether in the C suite or you know,

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 3>as the chief of staff or in other spaces.

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 2>So I would love to know the answer, but I

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 2>don't have it. I raised more questions.

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you did. You know what, There's always going to

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:04.480
<v Speaker 1>be hope for tomorrow. I believe, truly believe that people

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:07.280
<v Speaker 1>like yourself and many others, the carry champions of Jamial Hills,

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the people who we know are really really talented. The

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 1>young lady on higher learning who's really dope, Rachel, Rachel.

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe the list will change and expand, and

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe you guys will be up there with a fat

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 1>two in front of the number or three in front

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>of the number one day, maybe be number one on

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the list.

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 7>With that.

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Did you say that we were talking about the election

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 3>results in the rundown. Yeah, that's what we're doing next.

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 3>All right, everyone, Well, we got to talk election results

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 3>in Missouri and Michigan and lots of other politics in

0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 3>the country right now, particularly the device. We talked about

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 3>the verses earlier in the show. Oh, you're right, you

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 3>did talk about this. We talked about versus just briefly.

0:31:55.920 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 3>But joining us now to talk about these elections results

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 3>in some of the progress of the Working Families Party

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:07.360
<v Speaker 3>is Maurice Mitchell. He is the national director, My brother.

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 3>We fight every now and and about this, but we

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 3>mostly aligned. We mostly aligned.

0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 12>We know we have that nine point nine nine percent

0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 12>a line.

0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Well I got one for you today.

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 2>You might not nine nine nine on this we go see.

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a question before we get into it. Can you just

0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:28.480
<v Speaker 1>explain to people the difference between or what what are

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the some of the discerning differences or whether or not

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>they're differences without a distinction between Democrats, Working Family and DSA,

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>because I'm gone, Yeah, I've gone through a ballot before

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and I've seen Democrats and people be on the Democratic

0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 1>line and the Working Families line, and you see that

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in certain places.

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:50.120
<v Speaker 12>Okay, so yes, all right, So the Working Families Party

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:54.840
<v Speaker 12>we're a grassroots political party where a third party that

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:58.000
<v Speaker 12>was started almost thirty years ago in New York State,

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 12>and we've spread and we operate now in twenty states.

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 12>And you know, you all know that elections don't happen nationally.

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 12>Elections happen state by state by state, so election law

0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 12>is very different in each state. There's something called fusion

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 12>voting that is as old as like, I mean, this country, right,

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 12>there were a lot of different fusion parties, and there

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 12>was a lot of like minor parties throughout our history,

0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 12>and over time we developed into this very rigid duopoly

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 12>where it's just Democrat and Republican. But there's a few

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 12>places where fusion is still on the ballot that allows

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:41.720
<v Speaker 12>for minor parties to actually like have life right where

0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 12>you could cross endorse the candidate of another party and

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 12>kind of fuse together. New York is one of those places.

0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 12>South Carolina was one of those places until very recently.

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Voting unfortunate Republicans took a hatchet to it. Yep, yep.

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 12>We were fusion legal as a party in South Carolina

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:01.720
<v Speaker 12>until that happened. Eticutte is another one of those places

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 12>in Oregon. But outside of that, we do a lot

0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 12>of other things in order to do the type of

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.320
<v Speaker 12>policies that we do. And what we believe is that everyday,

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 12>working people should be able to govern, and you shouldn't

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 12>There shouldn't be a high bar of entry like your

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 12>connection to big money or you know, you kissing a

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 12>ring or whatever. If you believe that you have a

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:26.279
<v Speaker 12>desire for public service, we believe as a working person,

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:30.440
<v Speaker 12>you should be there. Most people in Congress are millionaires

0:34:30.480 --> 0:34:32.320
<v Speaker 12>that have law degrees. We think that that's a problem

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 12>is so we try to solve that mainly by on

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:40.440
<v Speaker 12>the hyper local level recruiting just everyday people, educators, organizers

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 12>so they could run in a lot of like un

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 12>sexy seats like school board and city council. And eventually

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:49.160
<v Speaker 12>we build these pipelines so we can have days like

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:52.840
<v Speaker 12>we had yesterday where we endorsed and supported people that

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 12>we've known for a while so that they could represent

0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:58.320
<v Speaker 12>us in the federal government. That is the working family.

0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:00.560
<v Speaker 1>We are were going to talk about your and family,

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 1>city council, city council. Uh, okay, but let's start. Let's

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>in may Orio. Now, we were gonna get to that,

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:09.360
<v Speaker 1>but let's let's let's start it. Let's start in Missouri.

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:12.480
<v Speaker 1>There were elections this week in Missouri. Uh, and I

0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to run down those elections. Those matter. Everything comes

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:18.640
<v Speaker 1>down to what's going to happen in November. But you

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>got to get through the primaries first.

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Missouri was an amazing place. Our good friend and mentor

0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and uncle and godfather and somebody that angela Roid loves

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and adoores none other than Emmanuel Cleaver. He was uncontested.

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank god, we send him back. We need good sound voices.

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 1>But the race is stuck up.

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:40.000
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, let me make sure we're clear about

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 3>what's happening with mister Clever. And I wish we had

0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 3>this headline, but I didn't send it over. Mister Cleaver

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 3>in the Democratic primary is fine. They have redrawn this district,

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 3>went to the Missouri Supreme Court. They kept this like

0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:59.800
<v Speaker 3>radical Republican nasty bs. He's running against in Trump and

0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:05.920
<v Speaker 3>a governor endorsed Republican, and he is going to be

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 3>in the race for his life. This is a member,

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:13.239
<v Speaker 3>he's not a Working Families Party member, but he is

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:16.880
<v Speaker 3>absolutely a progressive and is a member of the Progressive

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Caucus and all of that. And I think what is

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 3>so deeply tragic about with mister Cleaver is experiencing is

0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:26.360
<v Speaker 3>This is a man who is the co chair of

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:30.279
<v Speaker 3>the Civility Caucus in Congress, and civility completely went out

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 3>the window with these biggots. Said that he's having to

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 3>run against So State Senator Rick Bratton is who won

0:36:36.760 --> 0:36:39.279
<v Speaker 3>the GOP primary yesterday, and it's going to be a

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:42.440
<v Speaker 3>highly contested race. And I resent that, like this is,

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:44.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, an elder We're born on the same day.

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 3>This is my CBC chair boss. You know, he is

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 3>an incredible soul and he shouldn't be having to run

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:52.480
<v Speaker 3>like this at this point, all because they wanted to

0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:53.760
<v Speaker 3>redraw maps unfairly.

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a good point where I'm glad you brought

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that up. The race I wanted to the race that

0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:00.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of got the headlines because that one did not

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:03.840
<v Speaker 1>necessarily get the headlines. Was uh, you had Bush versus

0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Bail part two. You had Corey Bush running for real,

0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>running to get elected again after her get her seat back,

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:12.839
<v Speaker 1>you get her seat back from Wesley Bell. Wesley Bell

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:14.960
<v Speaker 1>handily won that race. Talk about that a little bit,

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:18.719
<v Speaker 1>guess sure, sure? I mean from the standpoint of the

0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Working Families Party that that's heartbreaking to me. I know,

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I know, Corey, I was an activist on the ground

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:31.040
<v Speaker 1>in Ferguson and have a deep connection with Saint Louis

0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that community, a lot of the folks that have continued

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:38.439
<v Speaker 1>to organize over a decade after that moment, and she's

0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:40.959
<v Speaker 1>one of them, and we were we were all really

0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:43.160
<v Speaker 1>proud of the fact that she went from the protest

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>lines into into a seat in Congress. And there's just

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:49.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, there is a conversation that we need to

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 1>have about how threatening to this country, uh, black independent

0:37:56.880 --> 0:38:03.239
<v Speaker 1>voices are, especially Black women. And you know, it's not

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:07.719
<v Speaker 1>a coincidence that Apak and other forces tried to make

0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:10.960
<v Speaker 1>an example out of her and tried to make example

0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:15.799
<v Speaker 1>out of Jamal Bowman and spent ungodly amounts of money

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in order to cleave her off of her seat. And

0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>it's an unfortunate thing that happened. And she was outspent

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>this time twenty to one. Right, she was outspent twenty

0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to one. There's a lot of organizing happening there. There's

0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of infrastructure building happening there.

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:34.840
<v Speaker 12>But you know, the people, the people can people power

0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:39.760
<v Speaker 12>can prevail over money power. But it's hard, it's really

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 12>really hard, especially when you're being outspent twenty to one.

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:46.560
<v Speaker 12>Incumbascy is really powerful no matter who the incumbent is,

0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:49.920
<v Speaker 12>and she no longer had the power of incumbency, so

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:52.000
<v Speaker 12>we already we already knew it was going to be

0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:57.439
<v Speaker 12>an uphill battle, and unfortunately we weren't able to get

0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:00.400
<v Speaker 12>to the victory that we wanted to restore where we

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:04.279
<v Speaker 12>believe she's right rightfully should be in that seat, you know,

0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 12>but you know, whatever she's doing following this, we're going

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:09.759
<v Speaker 12>to be riding with her. And I could just say

0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:13.200
<v Speaker 12>on behalf of the Working Families Party, we're committed to

0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 12>building that infrastructure, working with people organization like Action Saint

0:39:17.400 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 12>Louis in order to build the independent black political infrastructure

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:25.320
<v Speaker 12>so that you know, interest like APAC or AI or

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:29.600
<v Speaker 12>Crypto can't decide for the residents who should be representing them.

0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I just think that it's also kind of indicative of

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>the interesting ways in which black political power has diversified,

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 1>because you look at somebody like Wesley Bell, and Wesley

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Bell we just talked about her in the last segment though,

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>when you talk about black women had to support a

0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Jasmine Crockett, right, and so when we're when we're sitting

0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:52.560
<v Speaker 1>here and having this conversation about.

0:39:52.800 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 12>Wait, I was unclear that was a little like fuzzy.

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:59.040
<v Speaker 12>I was unclear if if she had endorsed him or not.

0:39:59.560 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 3>I thought at some point she said she says she

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:05.320
<v Speaker 3>did not endorse him. But the reality of it is

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:09.240
<v Speaker 3>she spoke very complimentary of him at a campaign event,

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 3>and so her work. She's from Saint Louis. That goes

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.480
<v Speaker 3>a long way. I think the reality of what we

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 3>know about Wesley Bell is he's a little tricky. He

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 3>won his city attorney's race saying that he was going

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 3>to prosecute Michael Brown's killers, and then when he got

0:40:27.120 --> 0:40:28.920
<v Speaker 3>in that seat, I know you do, but maybe the

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:29.720
<v Speaker 3>audience doesn't.

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:32.680
<v Speaker 2>When he got in that seat, he renigged.

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:35.719
<v Speaker 3>He told Corey Bush on a hot mic, on a

0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 3>recorded conversation, he was not going to run against Corey Blight.

0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:42.360
<v Speaker 2>And he ran so for me.

0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:44.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't trust no motherfucker that's talking out of both

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 3>sides of a mouth. I'm just not gonna do it.

0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 3>Remember to bleep my mf y'all. But that's how I

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:50.640
<v Speaker 3>feel about him. Apparently, I'm going to see him in

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Tunica this weekend. We'll keep it pushing. We don't have

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 3>anything to say to each other. Booth.

0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Next, well, let's go to Michigan. And Michigan had some

0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 1>more very very very interesting election results last night. I

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:05.400
<v Speaker 1>guess everybody we all good in Missouri because I just

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:07.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make sure. That's why we started to quote

0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Missouri before we get down to the meat of the

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 1>conversation in Michigan. I wanted to start because there's something

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that's happening in our country, waitebe.

0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:17.279
<v Speaker 3>I do have one the other thing. We looked at

0:41:17.320 --> 0:41:22.319
<v Speaker 3>early returns for Corey's race. The numbers were significantly worse

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.319
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the matter. Now she's attained over

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:29.360
<v Speaker 3>fifty something thousand votes to his. I think it was

0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:34.319
<v Speaker 3>seventy eighty three thousand to her fifty two thousand. Those

0:41:34.400 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 3>are not all out, all in all discouraging to me.

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.040
<v Speaker 3>I do hope that Corey runs for something may or

0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 3>whatever and continues to build the ground game. She is

0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 3>such an incredible force and voice, and we really need her.

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:46.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, but I did just want to shout out.

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 12>The numbers absolutely and you know, like I said before,

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:55.480
<v Speaker 12>whatever she's doing, I know that she'll be committed to

0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:59.200
<v Speaker 12>this movement because I mean she said this, It was

0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:01.720
<v Speaker 12>never about a position for her. It was always about

0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:03.799
<v Speaker 12>the people. And she's going to continue to be about

0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:06.680
<v Speaker 12>the people, and I'm going to continue to stand by

0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:09.000
<v Speaker 12>her and support her as she does the work.

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Michigan real quick, because there's something that's

0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 1>happening in this country that a lot of people probably

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 1>miss And this is where I wanted to start in

0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Michigan if we can pull up those results, Nick, last night,

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you saw Jocelyn Benson, who is the Secretary of State, win,

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 1>but you also saw in a competitive race on the

0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 1>other side, you saw John James, who is a weird

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 1>fella in his own right, wins. So weird he's just

0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's when I like, if there is a

0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 1>definition of weird in the dictionary, there will be a

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:40.320
<v Speaker 1>picture of him. And I'm not using it trying to

0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 1>be derogatory. I just don't have it. He's always off cadence.

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever met somebody that just kind of is

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 1>always off cadence? But he beat a billionaire last night.

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:50.440
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I wanted to talk to you

0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:52.879
<v Speaker 1>all about is we got a lot of black folk

0:42:53.040 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 1>particularly black men and Keisha Lance Bottoms who are running

0:42:56.239 --> 0:43:00.239
<v Speaker 1>for governor right now. You got John James, you got

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Jermaine Johnson, you got Keisha Lance Bottoms, you got Aaron Ford,

0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you got Byron Donald's. You literally have a lot, and

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Wes Moore running for reelection. I mean, is this worth

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:14.560
<v Speaker 1>noting or do we just keep pushing on, pushing on

0:43:14.719 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and not necessarily recognize the kind of historical nuances right there.

0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:28.239
<v Speaker 12>You know, forgive me for having a lot of skepticism

0:43:29.480 --> 0:43:38.040
<v Speaker 12>about the elevation of black folks in Republican politics as being.

0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:43.279
<v Speaker 1>With you, we know how to get there. It's the

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 1>easiest lane.

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:47.920
<v Speaker 3>It sounds about white, you know.

0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:51.360
<v Speaker 12>I mean, I just look, this is something that that

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:55.120
<v Speaker 12>I've said, right, and this is something that I think

0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:58.120
<v Speaker 12>all black people have experienced. And it's just like our

0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:03.360
<v Speaker 12>experience in this country. When you serve the dominant culture,

0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 12>you are their friend. When you step out, you are

0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:11.080
<v Speaker 12>their enemy. And so when you see black conservatives, you know,

0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 12>with jobs as pundits on TV, or you see them

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:19.320
<v Speaker 12>running for governor or running for mayor, it's because it

0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:24.360
<v Speaker 12>serves the political interest of that movement. It isn't necessarily

0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:30.520
<v Speaker 12>indication of you know, the merit of that person. And

0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:34.160
<v Speaker 12>you know, we talk about the racism that happens inside

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:36.440
<v Speaker 12>the Democratic Party, and I would say a lot of

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:39.440
<v Speaker 12>that happens actually inside the Democratic Party where you know,

0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:42.600
<v Speaker 12>you have you know, I saw it with Stacy Abrams,

0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:46.920
<v Speaker 12>who man, she was raising money for not just herself,

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.600
<v Speaker 12>but I mean the entire Democratic Party infrastructure when her

0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:54.440
<v Speaker 12>star was was really bright. And then I saw how

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:58.239
<v Speaker 12>quickly they reprioritized how much they wanted to embrace her

0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:01.800
<v Speaker 12>when they no longer could could extract from him, you know.

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 12>And so there's an independent black political conversation that we

0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:09.880
<v Speaker 12>need to have as black folks. And you know, so

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:12.239
<v Speaker 12>I have a lot of skepticism when I see them

0:45:12.640 --> 0:45:16.040
<v Speaker 12>elevating people of color, like listen, not all skim folk

0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:19.120
<v Speaker 12>or kim folk, and listen like I'm by here simply

0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 12>to you know, like be excited about like black faces

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 12>and high places, Like what how are you delivering on

0:45:26.080 --> 0:45:29.360
<v Speaker 12>the black political agenda? Full stop? Whoever you are, whatever

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:30.400
<v Speaker 12>your racial.

0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to hate that phrase because that god damn

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:35.959
<v Speaker 3>Jill Stein caught me a black face and a high place.

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's blessed keep.

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Show up for four years she show.

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Up for.

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Every time I hear that, I've you mad.

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I do want to talk about one of the races

0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that we all probably agreed on last night in the

0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Democratic primaries, where we probably found some alliance here was

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Donovan mckinnley. Yeah, because I am somebody who firmly but

0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:03.239
<v Speaker 1>that the city of Detroit needed black representation. I mean,

0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and that is just that is just purely on its face,

0:46:07.160 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 1>what they needed, what they deserved. It's the blackest city

0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:13.040
<v Speaker 1>in the entire country and for far too long did

0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:16.239
<v Speaker 1>not have any black representation. But I do believe I

0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:18.800
<v Speaker 1>am very proud of Donovan McKinny last night, who actually

0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:19.879
<v Speaker 1>is a DSA guy.

0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:22.399
<v Speaker 12>So I'm going to regre with you guys.

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, there you go. Who beat and I cannot pronounce

0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:27.760
<v Speaker 1>his last name, so Angela, I'm gonna let you talk.

0:46:27.640 --> 0:46:30.600
<v Speaker 3>About it is weird, he'd beat weird and so we

0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 3>can just go on from here. This man has not

0:46:33.440 --> 0:46:36.320
<v Speaker 3>showed up for Michigan Arey voters. This is a suburb

0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:39.000
<v Speaker 3>of Detroit, a seat that was formerly held by Hanson

0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Clark and then Brenda Lawrence and Brenda Laurence. To CBC members,

0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:45.239
<v Speaker 3>who I had a great relationship with so I am

0:46:45.920 --> 0:46:48.759
<v Speaker 3>elated to welcome a CBC member back into a place

0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:51.360
<v Speaker 3>is representing going to the blackest cities in America.

0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Tree is only known for filing impeachment resolutions. Half the time,

0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the Caucus didn't even want it. So that's something that's

0:46:57.800 --> 0:47:01.680
<v Speaker 1>something amazing that happened. And I wanted to comment real

0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:03.319
<v Speaker 1>quick before we get to the Senate race. I did

0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:06.360
<v Speaker 1>want to comment on Uh. There was a young a

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.920
<v Speaker 1>young man last night named Amir Hassan. I don't know

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:12.480
<v Speaker 1>if y'all know Amir Hassan, but Amir Hassan is a

0:47:12.680 --> 0:47:16.960
<v Speaker 1>black Republican who ran for Michigan eight. Last night. I

0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:18.560
<v Speaker 1>think we have a clip from Amir Hassan. Can we

0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 1>play that clip from? This is a mir? I ain't

0:47:22.239 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk too much shit. He looked like he might

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:24.480
<v Speaker 1>be able to pluck me up.

0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Hey, good morning, everybody. I fell short last night. I

0:47:30.239 --> 0:47:36.319
<v Speaker 4>make no excuse. It was a tough race. But over

0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:41.479
<v Speaker 4>the last year I've had some incredible dealings with people

0:47:41.560 --> 0:47:45.400
<v Speaker 4>across the entire district. I've learned the issues that we

0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:49.880
<v Speaker 4>are going through and are facing, and it's just strengthened

0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:50.400
<v Speaker 4>my resolve.

0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:53.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm confused. I saw he won.

0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Amir Hassan got beat by somebody who dropped out the race.

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought that he was the one that dropped out.

0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 1>No, no, he did not.

0:48:06.680 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 2>So what's the difference between Amir and John James?

0:48:11.280 --> 0:48:11.640
<v Speaker 3>A mirror?

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 1>One one and one didn't. But both of them were

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of a mirror. But I don't know. I don't know

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.759
<v Speaker 1>exactly what happened, But for some reason.

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:24.880
<v Speaker 3>They figured out a mirror is actually a Democrat who's operations.

0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Because what's wrong with the bere versus John Jay John

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:30.320
<v Speaker 3>jas How are you you know what it is that

0:48:30.520 --> 0:48:33.680
<v Speaker 3>no facial hair for these negroes on the side.

0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Think about it?

0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Wait a minute, hold on, I might be honest, sum,

0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Who you know this Republican elected with facial hair is black?

0:48:40.640 --> 0:48:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Think about it?

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Byron Donald's has facial hair. Yeah, but elector right now,

0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:48.240
<v Speaker 1>he might he's in Congress.

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:50.040
<v Speaker 3>He might be, that's true, but he might be he

0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:52.560
<v Speaker 3>might lose his movementatorial race. I won't think about it,

0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:54.280
<v Speaker 3>might be honest, Sum, Yeah.

0:48:54.120 --> 0:48:57.719
<v Speaker 12>But there's also there's also a conservative hairline, you know

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 12>conservative Because to.

0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Your moment, I think I think you're more on point

0:49:03.280 --> 0:49:06.360
<v Speaker 1>than she is with that, because because.

0:49:07.760 --> 0:49:09.800
<v Speaker 12>If you don't have a widow speaker, you're not in

0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:12.520
<v Speaker 12>the company of black people. You're not concerned whether or

0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:16.440
<v Speaker 12>not black women find you attractive. You are living in

0:49:16.520 --> 0:49:20.200
<v Speaker 12>a world where your hairline is not a priority for you,

0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 12>and that says a lot. I think that is an

0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:25.360
<v Speaker 12>indicator of where you are culturally and where you might

0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 12>be politically.

0:49:26.719 --> 0:49:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Only less less of a priority to that is snap benefits.

0:49:30.239 --> 0:49:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I think you are right, But last night

0:49:32.440 --> 0:49:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I do want you to know that A mir was

0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the only person on the ballot the black Republican in Michigan,

0:49:37.800 --> 0:49:39.799
<v Speaker 1>in Michigan eight. I'm just being messy now.

0:49:39.880 --> 0:49:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to find out.

0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:52.280
<v Speaker 1>He's been on stage, a mirror, a sign, on stage

0:49:52.320 --> 0:49:54.520
<v Speaker 1>with the president and everything. Last night you could take

0:49:54.560 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>your victory lap Mo. I want you to take your

0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:59.080
<v Speaker 1>victory lap because last night what we saw was a

0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:02.640
<v Speaker 1>dual outside who I actually know really well from CNN.

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Days after he got beat in his run for governor,

0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:11.279
<v Speaker 1>actually became a CNN commentator for a little while and

0:50:11.440 --> 0:50:13.560
<v Speaker 1>was really big on the healthcare front. That was his main,

0:50:13.800 --> 0:50:18.399
<v Speaker 1>his number one priority and initiative. He Although Angela gets

0:50:18.400 --> 0:50:20.560
<v Speaker 1>mad at me for being this petty. However, although he

0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:24.040
<v Speaker 1>put out polls, internal polls that had him up fourteen percent,

0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:27.000
<v Speaker 1>thirteen percent or whatever, he won last night by a

0:50:27.040 --> 0:50:29.600
<v Speaker 1>percentage that I believe just before we came on air,

0:50:29.880 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 1>they Hailey Stevens actually called it and called him and

0:50:34.560 --> 0:50:35.399
<v Speaker 1>conceded the race.

0:50:35.920 --> 0:50:38.719
<v Speaker 3>I just want to say this, I can't believe that

0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:41.000
<v Speaker 3>the topic that you want to bring up is an

0:50:41.080 --> 0:50:41.680
<v Speaker 3>internal poll.

0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's internal poser.

0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean no, I mean I got a larger thing. No, no, no,

0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I just want you to te y off. I want

0:50:48.520 --> 0:50:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you to go ahead because I got some questions. Go ahead,

0:50:51.480 --> 0:50:54.399
<v Speaker 1>I got some questions. I got a question. I got

0:50:54.440 --> 0:50:54.759
<v Speaker 1>a question.

0:50:55.480 --> 0:50:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Well let me answer your questions to know.

0:50:58.280 --> 0:51:00.480
<v Speaker 1>First of all, mogus to take a this is a

0:51:00.600 --> 0:51:02.719
<v Speaker 1>huge victory, so we'll take his victory lap first.

0:51:02.840 --> 0:51:04.799
<v Speaker 3>You don't want to burn you yet, go ahead.

0:51:05.160 --> 0:51:05.960
<v Speaker 12>Let me talk my shit.

0:51:06.080 --> 0:51:06.680
<v Speaker 4>This is so.

0:51:07.600 --> 0:51:12.080
<v Speaker 12>This is a working Families Party sweep. And look, a

0:51:12.160 --> 0:51:15.680
<v Speaker 12>few months ago, there wasn't anybody talking about these races

0:51:15.800 --> 0:51:19.440
<v Speaker 12>like there were an inevitability or even a possibility. And

0:51:19.640 --> 0:51:25.120
<v Speaker 12>our three endorsed congressional candidates Will Lawrence Donovan McKinney and

0:51:25.160 --> 0:51:29.600
<v Speaker 12>Abdula Sayid are going to go be on the ballot

0:51:29.680 --> 0:51:33.640
<v Speaker 12>in November. And what I want to say about that is,

0:51:34.440 --> 0:51:37.920
<v Speaker 12>I just think it's a reflection of where most people

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:41.040
<v Speaker 12>are at. People are tired of status quo politics and

0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:44.160
<v Speaker 12>they're looking for something different. And look, whatever you want

0:51:44.200 --> 0:51:48.200
<v Speaker 12>to say about the spread or internal polls, he won.

0:51:48.400 --> 0:51:54.040
<v Speaker 12>And he won against seventy million dollars an unprecedented amount

0:51:54.120 --> 0:51:57.439
<v Speaker 12>of outside money spent against him in negative as, many

0:51:57.520 --> 0:52:01.480
<v Speaker 12>of which were ridiculous bad fa ads, right, in order

0:52:01.600 --> 0:52:03.880
<v Speaker 12>to frame him as somebody that he isn't like. You

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:06.759
<v Speaker 12>actually know him, So, I mean, I think you could

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:10.280
<v Speaker 12>attest to the fact that some of the framing was ludicrous.

0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:12.600
<v Speaker 12>I know him as well, Like the idea that he's

0:52:12.719 --> 0:52:17.000
<v Speaker 12>like disrespectful to women and like doesn't like Michelle Obama.

0:52:17.160 --> 0:52:19.200
<v Speaker 12>It's just like, yeah, I understand.

0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:21.719
<v Speaker 1>And he actually came through at the end, contrary to

0:52:21.800 --> 0:52:24.120
<v Speaker 1>some of my people who I'm not fond of, but

0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:27.040
<v Speaker 1>he came through at the end in twenty twenty four

0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:29.759
<v Speaker 1>and actually sent a letter out to all of his

0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:33.720
<v Speaker 1>supporters asking them to go out and vote for Kamala

0:52:33.800 --> 0:52:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Harris Oh. He immediately endorsed, right I mean, so it's

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 1>this is my this is my question.

0:52:39.719 --> 0:52:41.359
<v Speaker 3>No, you don't get to go yet, because I'm gonna

0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:41.719
<v Speaker 3>scorch you.

0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Now I get a chance to ask the question to scorch,

0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:45.640
<v Speaker 1>but go ahead.

0:52:45.680 --> 0:52:47.759
<v Speaker 3>No, no, but because I want to scorch the last point.

0:52:47.880 --> 0:52:49.800
<v Speaker 3>So here's the thing that I think is really important.

0:52:50.600 --> 0:52:54.040
<v Speaker 3>He spent under three million dollars on this race. This

0:52:54.200 --> 0:52:56.920
<v Speaker 3>is a man that campaigned on Medicare for all and

0:52:57.080 --> 0:52:58.520
<v Speaker 3>keeping money out of politics.

0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:03.560
<v Speaker 2>One of my favorite thing is there has been some

0:53:03.719 --> 0:53:05.120
<v Speaker 2>challenges with the black community.

0:53:05.200 --> 0:53:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I think that they could have done a better job

0:53:07.160 --> 0:53:11.880
<v Speaker 3>reaching out, tapping in for full disclosure. Our friend Garland

0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Gilchris connected me to him last week. We were not

0:53:14.320 --> 0:53:16.520
<v Speaker 3>able to talk, but I wanted him to do the

0:53:16.600 --> 0:53:19.120
<v Speaker 3>show last Tuesday, and you know, we were going back

0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:21.439
<v Speaker 3>and forth after that because my travel schedule was so nuts.

0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I do congratulate him, but I do think there's still

0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:26.959
<v Speaker 3>some inroads that need to be made, not only leading

0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:29.840
<v Speaker 3>up to November, but throughout. He should be hiring black staff.

0:53:30.040 --> 0:53:32.280
<v Speaker 3>He should make sure that he's talking to black leaders.

0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:34.799
<v Speaker 3>They shouldn't feel like they haven't been heard. We don't

0:53:34.800 --> 0:53:38.520
<v Speaker 3>want to run that same kind of Mamdani narrative here,

0:53:38.880 --> 0:53:41.279
<v Speaker 3>especially when we know it's easy to dispel. All you

0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:42.880
<v Speaker 3>have to do with our folks is talk to us.

0:53:43.120 --> 0:53:45.040
<v Speaker 3>You should be spending with us too, but let's start

0:53:45.040 --> 0:53:47.439
<v Speaker 3>with talking. I do want to run this clip because

0:53:47.480 --> 0:53:50.719
<v Speaker 3>this actually really endeared me to Abdul, and then you'll

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:53.399
<v Speaker 3>question b Okay here right.

0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:57.160
<v Speaker 13>Now live from Michigan. You know I mean with the Obdul,

0:53:57.280 --> 0:54:01.280
<v Speaker 13>you know what I'm saying. SAYI I said that right right, sayah,

0:54:01.360 --> 0:54:04.719
<v Speaker 13>so the folks is mispronouncing it, saya. But I'm here

0:54:04.719 --> 0:54:07.120
<v Speaker 13>specifically to ask the question I said to somebody, man,

0:54:07.120 --> 0:54:08.960
<v Speaker 13>I'm about to go to Michigan and campaign.

0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:10.880
<v Speaker 1>They say you got a problem with black people, bro.

0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:14.120
<v Speaker 13>So my question specifically is what is your plan for

0:54:14.320 --> 0:54:16.320
<v Speaker 13>black people here in the gray slate of Michigan.

0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I'mnnast you to mic and listen. Be real, bro, I.

0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:22.520
<v Speaker 14>Don't do anything about be real, you got. My commitment

0:54:22.560 --> 0:54:24.239
<v Speaker 14>to our black communities didn't start because I wanted to

0:54:24.280 --> 0:54:26.320
<v Speaker 14>come and take a photo off. It started when I

0:54:26.600 --> 0:54:29.240
<v Speaker 14>left my tenure track job at a Ivy League school

0:54:29.320 --> 0:54:30.920
<v Speaker 14>to come back to rebuild the health department in the

0:54:30.960 --> 0:54:34.160
<v Speaker 14>city in the city Detroit, which is the largest majority

0:54:34.160 --> 0:54:37.200
<v Speaker 14>of black city in the country. And I came because

0:54:37.440 --> 0:54:39.359
<v Speaker 14>I remember Post nine to eleven. I had a teacher

0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:40.880
<v Speaker 14>who told me, Hey, you need to read your history.

0:54:41.600 --> 0:54:43.440
<v Speaker 14>And he's like, you gotta go read Alex Haley, you

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:46.520
<v Speaker 14>gotta read WB de Boys, you gotta read James Baldwin.

0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:48.920
<v Speaker 14>You got to read Sojernal Truth and Frederick Douglass. You

0:54:49.000 --> 0:54:52.120
<v Speaker 14>got to read doctor Martin Luther King. You gotta read

0:54:52.280 --> 0:54:53.399
<v Speaker 14>the stuff that he actually wrote.

0:54:54.200 --> 0:54:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Malcolm X.

0:54:55.360 --> 0:54:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I learned.

0:54:57.000 --> 0:54:58.320
<v Speaker 14>I learned what it meant to be a person of

0:54:58.360 --> 0:55:02.560
<v Speaker 14>color reading black folk and the civil rights struggle. And

0:55:02.640 --> 0:55:06.960
<v Speaker 14>I understand that my responsibility is about trying to address

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:09.520
<v Speaker 14>racial inequities. All my work is about racial equities and health,

0:55:09.560 --> 0:55:13.480
<v Speaker 14>whether it's the maternal infant mortality crisis, it's protecting kids

0:55:13.680 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 14>from asthma, taking on polluters, putting glasses on kids' faces,

0:55:16.680 --> 0:55:20.560
<v Speaker 14>eliminating medical debt. Now you know, there's been nearly eighty

0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:24.520
<v Speaker 14>million dollars spent against me, telling lies about an endorsement

0:55:24.600 --> 0:55:27.440
<v Speaker 14>that my opponent didn't get, or using an op ed

0:55:27.520 --> 0:55:30.160
<v Speaker 14>that I wrote about a program that First Lady Michelle

0:55:30.160 --> 0:55:33.359
<v Speaker 14>Obama sponsored, saying it was a good program, but here's

0:55:33.360 --> 0:55:35.760
<v Speaker 14>some things that could be better, arguing that somehow I'm

0:55:35.760 --> 0:55:37.120
<v Speaker 14>disrespectful to people, but.

0:55:37.200 --> 0:55:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Look, lies have a way of working.

0:55:38.800 --> 0:55:40.759
<v Speaker 14>But I think the truth is more important. So what

0:55:40.800 --> 0:55:45.120
<v Speaker 14>I'll tell you is this. I'm an Egyptian, so I

0:55:45.239 --> 0:55:48.279
<v Speaker 14>take my African heritage seriously. And if I want to

0:55:48.280 --> 0:55:49.920
<v Speaker 14>teach my daughters about our history, you know, I take

0:55:49.960 --> 0:55:54.319
<v Speaker 14>them Charles a trite museum right about to the museum too,

0:55:54.480 --> 0:55:58.560
<v Speaker 14>That's right, it's the best Egyptian antiquities exhibit in the Midwest.

0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:01.719
<v Speaker 14>And so I also know that my dad doesn't get

0:56:01.760 --> 0:56:04.320
<v Speaker 14>to move from e Jept to butt for the incredible

0:56:04.320 --> 0:56:08.160
<v Speaker 14>contributions of the civil rights movement in passing the immigration

0:56:08.200 --> 0:56:11.640
<v Speaker 14>oct To nineteen sixty five. So a lot of what

0:56:11.719 --> 0:56:13.239
<v Speaker 14>I'd say is, you know, they said past his prolog

0:56:13.280 --> 0:56:14.839
<v Speaker 14>if you want to know somebody could do, figure out

0:56:14.840 --> 0:56:18.200
<v Speaker 14>what they've done. So my commitment is to continue to

0:56:18.440 --> 0:56:20.880
<v Speaker 14>lead in ways that empower black folks.

0:56:21.760 --> 0:56:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Y'all go look at a conscious leader. To watch the

0:56:24.280 --> 0:56:26.440
<v Speaker 3>rest of that cliped. But when I saw that, I

0:56:26.640 --> 0:56:29.640
<v Speaker 3>was like, okay, Like it felt very different from some

0:56:29.800 --> 0:56:32.760
<v Speaker 3>of what I was hearing. Also, Bonnie Watson Caleman endorsing

0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:35.400
<v Speaker 3>him is persuasive to me because I adore her and

0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:37.960
<v Speaker 3>definitely trust her instincts. I didn't get a chance to

0:56:38.000 --> 0:56:39.360
<v Speaker 3>talk to him, but I do have a chance to

0:56:39.400 --> 0:56:40.800
<v Speaker 3>congratulate him now on his victory.

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to correct one quick thing for the

0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 1>record that he actually outraised Stevens and Mike Rodgers. He

0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:49.239
<v Speaker 1>raised fourteen and a half million. However, to your point, Mo,

0:56:49.440 --> 0:56:53.000
<v Speaker 1>he was outspent hell of money from outside influences to

0:56:53.120 --> 0:56:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the tune of sixty to eighty million dollars. But in

0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:58.480
<v Speaker 1>terms of individual fundraising, he outraised everybody who was running.

0:56:58.960 --> 0:57:01.520
<v Speaker 1>My biggest, my big beef, it's not even a beef.

0:57:01.640 --> 0:57:04.480
<v Speaker 1>My biggest concern, and I'm throwing on the blinkers of

0:57:04.560 --> 0:57:08.000
<v Speaker 1>concern here, is that we get really excited about primary

0:57:08.080 --> 0:57:10.640
<v Speaker 1>victories and we go out and we begin to build

0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:13.879
<v Speaker 1>narratives that the electorate has changed. And when I talk

0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:17.720
<v Speaker 1>about pluralities versus majorities, I want people to fully understand

0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:20.080
<v Speaker 1>how close this race for us. And the reason is this.

0:57:21.440 --> 0:57:26.040
<v Speaker 1>He got destroyed by black voters, particularly in the city

0:57:26.080 --> 0:57:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of Detroit, Wayne County. That's why the race was close.

0:57:29.440 --> 0:57:33.960
<v Speaker 1>He got destroyed in rural communities he did extremely well,

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:37.360
<v Speaker 1>where many of the individuals who are DSA candidates do

0:57:37.520 --> 0:57:42.680
<v Speaker 1>well in suburban communities, affluent communities and white suburban communities.

0:57:43.160 --> 0:57:46.439
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this pattern play out over and over and over,

0:57:46.880 --> 0:57:49.400
<v Speaker 1>and so the challenge is where my things are blinking,

0:57:49.640 --> 0:57:54.320
<v Speaker 1>is like, look, these races, particularly in Wisconsin, Wisconson and

0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the words of the great American poetry Pain and Michigan,

0:57:57.840 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 1>are so utterly import in November that now we have

0:58:03.440 --> 0:58:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to put everything that happened behind us, and there has

0:58:07.160 --> 0:58:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to be real work done to figure out the messaging

0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that is going to permeate these communities of color, because

0:58:14.480 --> 0:58:18.960
<v Speaker 1>outside of the Pacific Northwest where Seattle is and the

0:58:19.280 --> 0:58:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Upper Northeast, we have not seen this resonate outside of

0:58:23.520 --> 0:58:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a few exceptions, and that is my biggest concern.

0:58:28.200 --> 0:58:34.440
<v Speaker 12>Can I speak on this please, Yeah, because I fundamentally

0:58:35.360 --> 0:58:38.320
<v Speaker 12>believe in the politics of winning. I care very much,

0:58:38.720 --> 0:58:42.320
<v Speaker 12>that's right, I know, yeah, yeah, very much about general

0:58:42.640 --> 0:58:46.160
<v Speaker 12>election outcomes because we're here to govern, We're not just

0:58:46.240 --> 0:58:49.200
<v Speaker 12>here to put up numbers, right, And so I take this,

0:58:49.400 --> 0:58:52.200
<v Speaker 12>actually take this seriously, and I do think that there

0:58:52.320 --> 0:58:55.400
<v Speaker 12>needs to be some like really rigorous conversations about like

0:58:55.560 --> 0:58:58.840
<v Speaker 12>what is a majoritarian sort of framework so that we

0:58:58.920 --> 0:59:02.800
<v Speaker 12>could get everybody voting in our direction, right, not just

0:59:02.840 --> 0:59:06.280
<v Speaker 12>people who are self identified progressives or self identified democratic

0:59:06.360 --> 0:59:09.720
<v Speaker 12>socialist or whatever. We know that self identified democratic socialist

0:59:09.760 --> 0:59:11.760
<v Speaker 12>is not a majority of the elector right. We know that,

0:59:13.080 --> 0:59:16.480
<v Speaker 12>and so absolutely our job is to be able to

0:59:16.600 --> 0:59:21.280
<v Speaker 12>organize everyone. Also, there is a way that you engage

0:59:21.280 --> 0:59:24.880
<v Speaker 12>in politics during a primary and then you pivot to

0:59:25.480 --> 0:59:28.360
<v Speaker 12>a general election. And his campaign is going to do that.

0:59:28.840 --> 0:59:31.120
<v Speaker 12>And I think all of these like concerns are valid,

0:59:31.160 --> 0:59:32.840
<v Speaker 12>but also there is a natural way that you're going

0:59:32.880 --> 0:59:35.120
<v Speaker 12>to have to pivot. The thing I will say though,

0:59:35.320 --> 0:59:38.520
<v Speaker 12>is that there are a lot of examples, not in

0:59:39.200 --> 0:59:43.280
<v Speaker 12>the COMMI corridors of major US cities, but in places

0:59:43.480 --> 0:59:49.800
<v Speaker 12>like Bakersfield where you know where we have a candidate

0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:55.520
<v Speaker 12>Randy Vegas, who is a working class Latino candidate who

0:59:55.720 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 12>is a young person who's not taking corporate pac money.

0:59:59.560 --> 1:00:02.480
<v Speaker 12>He's going to be a competitive candidate in a red

1:00:02.560 --> 1:00:05.800
<v Speaker 12>to blue flip. Will Lawrence is another example. He's going

1:00:05.840 --> 1:00:07.959
<v Speaker 12>to be a competitive candidate in a red to blue

1:00:07.960 --> 1:00:08.520
<v Speaker 12>flip flip.

1:00:08.720 --> 1:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>There's enough. Brian Poindexter those's gonna be the Brian Poindexter

1:00:12.280 --> 1:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>matters because he's running against a very flawed Max Miller.

1:00:15.560 --> 1:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>But we were also looking at Scranton, We're looking at Harrisburg.

1:00:18.440 --> 1:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're looking at these places that are very,

1:00:20.400 --> 1:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>very important. And my my only it's not even an admonition,

1:00:23.520 --> 1:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>My only sobering, you know, in a day of celebration

1:00:26.840 --> 1:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>like today, for many of my my friends who are

1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:32.919
<v Speaker 1>further left than I, my sobering reality is like, okay, cool,

1:00:33.000 --> 1:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>we gotta win now, Like, yes, we gotta win. And

1:00:36.240 --> 1:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that's why Hayley Stevens, to her credit, was so important

1:00:39.480 --> 1:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>today because she was like, look, I lost, I'm hurt.

1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>We gotta beat Mike Rodgers. Because at the end of

1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the day, what I tell people is that elections are

1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>binary choices. Right, who is better Abduel or Mike Rodgers.

1:00:53.480 --> 1:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think for many people that believe the same

1:00:55.960 --> 1:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>things we believe, that that's a choice. However, he ain't

1:00:58.800 --> 1:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>got to convince us. He has to get those black

1:01:01.720 --> 1:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>voters who voted for Haley Stevens to still come outside,

1:01:04.400 --> 1:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>because many of them are going to want to stay home,

1:01:06.480 --> 1:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to have to go talk to those

1:01:07.920 --> 1:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>rule voters and those people. What's the county they call

1:01:10.880 --> 1:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it the swing county is at Oakland County in Michigan

1:01:14.640 --> 1:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that tends to go back and forth. I mean, he's

1:01:17.320 --> 1:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>going to have to do damage there and so congratulations,

1:01:19.920 --> 1:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>but let's get it.

1:01:20.680 --> 1:01:23.200
<v Speaker 12>Listen, over the next thirteen weeks, there's a lot of

1:01:23.360 --> 1:01:25.600
<v Speaker 12>work to be done. Let you know, do one victory

1:01:25.760 --> 1:01:28.200
<v Speaker 12>like and get back to work one hundred percent. And

1:01:28.480 --> 1:01:30.360
<v Speaker 12>I'll say this because I really want us to be

1:01:30.480 --> 1:01:34.200
<v Speaker 12>precise when we say, like two left, I want to

1:01:34.320 --> 1:01:37.720
<v Speaker 12>understand what are we talking about. Sometimes we're talking about vibes.

1:01:38.080 --> 1:01:42.320
<v Speaker 12>Sometimes we're talking about like culturally where.

1:01:42.160 --> 1:01:44.200
<v Speaker 3>They can give you an example the vote.

1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, canceling Thanksgiving mom, But go ahead, well again.

1:01:48.720 --> 1:01:51.240
<v Speaker 3>I told Bakari yesterday, we call our something different too

1:01:51.400 --> 1:01:55.280
<v Speaker 3>in my family, but you know, we cancel the intention

1:01:55.480 --> 1:01:57.120
<v Speaker 3>behind Thanksgiving for certain.

1:02:02.320 --> 1:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Nobody knows.

1:02:06.120 --> 1:02:09.000
<v Speaker 3>I am going to use the example of our Seattle mayor.

1:02:09.440 --> 1:02:13.240
<v Speaker 3>And the reason for that is yet again, yet again,

1:02:13.880 --> 1:02:16.840
<v Speaker 3>she has found herself being called up for a recall.

1:02:17.200 --> 1:02:22.360
<v Speaker 3>This woman beat a black mayor whose politics are mostly aligned,

1:02:23.000 --> 1:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>but he wanted to keep the police force.

1:02:25.440 --> 1:02:26.640
<v Speaker 2>She kept the police Chief.

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:29.919
<v Speaker 3>She threatened to fire Black Chief Shawn Barnes several times

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:33.640
<v Speaker 3>over and over again. She decides that she wants to

1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:36.520
<v Speaker 3>fire Sewan Barnes, this time right on the other side

1:02:36.520 --> 1:02:39.200
<v Speaker 3>of a mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle while

1:02:39.240 --> 1:02:43.080
<v Speaker 3>there's a murder investigation that's open. Seawan Barnes is at

1:02:43.120 --> 1:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>the National Organization for Black Law Enforcement at the time

1:02:46.160 --> 1:02:49.680
<v Speaker 3>this crisis happens, and no less, she decides this is

1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:51.880
<v Speaker 3>finally her window to fire him, since she wanted to

1:02:51.920 --> 1:02:55.200
<v Speaker 3>do it before FIFA et cetera. By the way, nick,

1:02:55.240 --> 1:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if we have any of the headlines.

1:02:57.560 --> 1:03:01.840
<v Speaker 3>My family organizes around trying to make sure she knows

1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:03.760
<v Speaker 3>that she can't fire him. We get black leaders in

1:03:03.920 --> 1:03:07.160
<v Speaker 3>to see her. The day that she's supposed to fire him,

1:03:07.200 --> 1:03:08.880
<v Speaker 3>she postpones it several hours.

1:03:09.360 --> 1:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Well.

1:03:09.680 --> 1:03:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Her initial offer was a twenty five thousand dollars severance

1:03:12.760 --> 1:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>package to this man. Because of the pressure applied, he

1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:18.760
<v Speaker 3>ended up with seven hundred ninety thousand dollars of taxpayers money,

1:03:19.760 --> 1:03:22.120
<v Speaker 3>no job, and he got to pick his replacement, who

1:03:22.240 --> 1:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>is Deputy Chief andre I can't think of Andrea's last

1:03:25.360 --> 1:03:29.800
<v Speaker 3>name right now. Sometimes you can be too left to

1:03:30.280 --> 1:03:32.520
<v Speaker 3>know anything. You could be too right to know anything.

1:03:33.000 --> 1:03:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes you can be too in the middle to know anything.

1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:38.400
<v Speaker 12>That's confident ideology.

1:03:39.760 --> 1:03:42.840
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that, but also some of what she

1:03:43.120 --> 1:03:47.280
<v Speaker 3>stands on ten toes down is ideology that some people

1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:52.120
<v Speaker 3>have actually put deep thought into implementation, and she's not

1:03:52.320 --> 1:03:54.760
<v Speaker 3>done that. She has targed there are people who are

1:03:54.920 --> 1:03:59.840
<v Speaker 3>very progressive who don't represent the best interest of black folks.

1:04:00.200 --> 1:04:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Know what the conservative you know paradigm is. It's awful,

1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>but she's one of them. She has targeted black people.

1:04:06.680 --> 1:04:10.080
<v Speaker 3>You don't fire people on maternity leave. That certainly violates

1:04:10.640 --> 1:04:13.520
<v Speaker 3>the standards that working family stands for. And I just

1:04:13.640 --> 1:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>I want there to be something for y'all where you

1:04:16.720 --> 1:04:19.400
<v Speaker 3>can go back and say this was a mistake for us.

1:04:19.560 --> 1:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>This is not someone who represents our values. I'm a

1:04:22.080 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 3>black man at the top of this amazing entity, and

1:04:25.520 --> 1:04:28.400
<v Speaker 3>she would fucking fire you, mo like that's what we're dealing.

1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm just being honest with you. There's there's one.

1:04:30.920 --> 1:04:33.720
<v Speaker 3>There are two black people left in her administration and

1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:38.200
<v Speaker 3>senior roles Duayne Chappelle and our fire chief Dwayne Chappelle's

1:04:38.200 --> 1:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>over education that is abysmal. There should if work is,

1:04:41.720 --> 1:04:45.280
<v Speaker 3>if it's about working families and ensuring parody and access

1:04:45.320 --> 1:04:47.760
<v Speaker 3>and equity, then that means you cannot turn your black.

1:04:48.120 --> 1:04:54.200
<v Speaker 3>You're black, you can't turn your I'm just saying my

1:04:54.360 --> 1:04:57.200
<v Speaker 3>dad started Connor shady Katie, and I'm right there with him,

1:04:57.440 --> 1:05:00.400
<v Speaker 3>because it is it is impossible to under stand with

1:05:00.480 --> 1:05:03.360
<v Speaker 3>this woman stands for beyond be like she is enjoying,

1:05:03.440 --> 1:05:06.800
<v Speaker 3>being incompetent, enjoying line to the media. She is now

1:05:06.920 --> 1:05:08.760
<v Speaker 3>being put on blast because she's firing.

1:05:08.960 --> 1:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>She fired the police chief.

1:05:10.360 --> 1:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>But she's the one that held up the press conference

1:05:12.280 --> 1:05:14.919
<v Speaker 3>and told them they cannot have the press. The press

1:05:14.960 --> 1:05:19.280
<v Speaker 3>conference that's out now, that's public testified under oath. She

1:05:19.400 --> 1:05:22.120
<v Speaker 3>gotta go. Seventy five thousand is all it takes for

1:05:22.160 --> 1:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>a recall. But I'd love to hear y'all say this

1:05:24.400 --> 1:05:25.200
<v Speaker 3>one we got wrong.

1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:28.040
<v Speaker 12>Okay, this is what I will say, he might this

1:05:28.160 --> 1:05:30.520
<v Speaker 12>is this is, this is what I will say.

1:05:30.840 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Right.

1:05:33.160 --> 1:05:36.280
<v Speaker 12>We endorse, folks, We endorse more than a thousand people

1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:41.760
<v Speaker 12>right every single cycle, just like and just like the

1:05:42.600 --> 1:05:44.640
<v Speaker 12>just like the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.

1:05:44.920 --> 1:05:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Right, and.

1:05:48.000 --> 1:05:51.440
<v Speaker 12>Once those endorsed candidates are governing, you have a thousand

1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:53.160
<v Speaker 12>governing experiment experiments.

1:05:53.440 --> 1:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Right.

1:05:54.280 --> 1:05:57.960
<v Speaker 12>What we do, and we do this a lot behind

1:05:58.000 --> 1:06:01.800
<v Speaker 12>closed doors with our folks, is we do have accountability

1:06:01.840 --> 1:06:07.200
<v Speaker 12>conversations with our people. We do have serious, like real

1:06:07.320 --> 1:06:10.800
<v Speaker 12>deal like this is what we established, This is where

1:06:10.800 --> 1:06:13.560
<v Speaker 12>we are, conversations that happen day in and day out

1:06:13.600 --> 1:06:16.440
<v Speaker 12>because we really do care about governing. I can't speak

1:06:16.480 --> 1:06:18.960
<v Speaker 12>to all of the details here, but the thing that

1:06:19.080 --> 1:06:21.880
<v Speaker 12>I will say is that you know, healthy parties are

1:06:21.920 --> 1:06:28.800
<v Speaker 12>also self correcting and also are transparent about about where

1:06:29.240 --> 1:06:32.760
<v Speaker 12>we're going, where we're trying to go, and where the

1:06:32.840 --> 1:06:35.080
<v Speaker 12>distance is between those two things. But what I will

1:06:35.160 --> 1:06:38.919
<v Speaker 12>say is what you brought up I don't think fits within.

1:06:39.000 --> 1:06:40.760
<v Speaker 12>The reason why I said what does two left mean?

1:06:40.920 --> 1:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Right?

1:06:41.240 --> 1:06:44.000
<v Speaker 12>Is that you know, I hear a lot, especially I'm

1:06:44.080 --> 1:06:46.840
<v Speaker 12>like on cable news, I hear all of this kind

1:06:46.880 --> 1:06:49.440
<v Speaker 12>of like I don't know, redbaiting about like you know,

1:06:49.880 --> 1:06:53.320
<v Speaker 12>communism and socialism. When you look at the candidates they're

1:06:53.400 --> 1:06:56.960
<v Speaker 12>talking about like healthcare and child these majoritarian positions, I'm like,

1:06:57.560 --> 1:07:00.440
<v Speaker 12>the things that they're running on are healthcare, out care,

1:07:00.960 --> 1:07:07.000
<v Speaker 12>jobs like uh, taxing billionaires, all majoritarian positions. Where are

1:07:07.080 --> 1:07:10.400
<v Speaker 12>the left, positions that are too left for the mainstream right.

1:07:10.480 --> 1:07:13.800
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing that I struggle with, abolishing the police,

1:07:13.880 --> 1:07:17.680
<v Speaker 3>putting people in positions that don't have experience, because you

1:07:17.760 --> 1:07:18.440
<v Speaker 3>don't you want to.

1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Destroy that when we start talking to talking about abolishing

1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the police as one example throughout the South, the South,

1:07:26.720 --> 1:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>because what what my mom will tell you is that

1:07:29.280 --> 1:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>my mom does not want to abolish the police. She

1:07:31.320 --> 1:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>wants better.

1:07:31.880 --> 1:07:37.160
<v Speaker 12>Wait, let's let's talk about that. Their very there are

1:07:37.440 --> 1:07:42.840
<v Speaker 12>very very few to none sitting elected officials or candidates

1:07:43.560 --> 1:07:48.880
<v Speaker 12>of all stripes who actually are running on abolishing.

1:07:48.400 --> 1:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>The Francesca Hung is about to be the Democratic nominee

1:07:51.160 --> 1:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>for Wisconsin governor.

1:07:52.800 --> 1:07:56.640
<v Speaker 12>And she's not She's not, by the way, like Francisca

1:07:56.840 --> 1:07:59.160
<v Speaker 12>Hang is not running on abolishing the police.

1:07:59.240 --> 1:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>In fact, it's I mean when asked Don Piker asked

1:08:02.720 --> 1:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>her and she said yes.

1:08:04.240 --> 1:08:08.000
<v Speaker 3>And Katie Wilson shady, Katie also has past comments where

1:08:08.040 --> 1:08:10.360
<v Speaker 3>she talked about abolishing the Seattle Police Department.

1:08:10.440 --> 1:08:13.200
<v Speaker 2>So to me, I'm just saying, and that was just.

1:08:15.640 --> 1:08:17.799
<v Speaker 1>My biggest issue is that it is where.

1:08:17.680 --> 1:08:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Black people have an issue around that's not safe for us,

1:08:22.280 --> 1:08:24.800
<v Speaker 3>especially when yes, homicide rates are going down and crime

1:08:24.880 --> 1:08:26.840
<v Speaker 3>rates are going down, but we want to make sure

1:08:26.880 --> 1:08:29.360
<v Speaker 3>that it stays that way. So can we have, you know,

1:08:29.439 --> 1:08:31.759
<v Speaker 3>a better way of interacting. We also know these police

1:08:31.760 --> 1:08:33.960
<v Speaker 3>departments ain't super safe for us either, so they need

1:08:34.000 --> 1:08:35.639
<v Speaker 3>to be challenged out accountall, et cetera.

1:08:36.200 --> 1:08:39.960
<v Speaker 12>I got two words, Brandon Johnson, right, because yeah, yeah,

1:08:40.000 --> 1:08:40.479
<v Speaker 12>I was wrong.

1:08:40.600 --> 1:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I was wrong on.

1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:49.040
<v Speaker 12>Good Love, because everybody was like red baiting about Brandon

1:08:49.160 --> 1:08:53.320
<v Speaker 12>and about like public safety with Look in the history

1:08:53.400 --> 1:08:57.040
<v Speaker 12>of the city of Chicago, you haven't had lower rates

1:08:57.160 --> 1:09:03.400
<v Speaker 12>of violent crime, right. And he's engaged in a holistic

1:09:03.520 --> 1:09:06.800
<v Speaker 12>approach to public safety where he puts investments where we

1:09:06.920 --> 1:09:09.400
<v Speaker 12>know it works, and it's not just the one side

1:09:09.439 --> 1:09:12.160
<v Speaker 12>fits all just spending on more police person.

1:09:12.320 --> 1:09:12.680
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

1:09:12.800 --> 1:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>But let me just also say this though, this is

1:09:15.080 --> 1:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>this is the thing, that this is the this is

1:09:16.600 --> 1:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>what I want to articulate, Like, Brandon has done a

1:09:18.800 --> 1:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>great job, and I was wrong about Brandon, I'll admit that.

1:09:21.600 --> 1:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>But Brandon Scott, who doesn't come from the same political spectrum,

1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>has done Yeoman's work, right, Frank Scott. Frank Scott has

1:09:29.160 --> 1:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>done Yeoman's work. Randall Wolfing. Both of those individuals beat

1:09:31.920 --> 1:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>DSA guys have done great work. Andre Dickens. I like Andre.

1:09:36.360 --> 1:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>People people people have their own issues with Andre. So

1:09:40.680 --> 1:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>we don't have time to go down that path because

1:09:42.840 --> 1:09:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I know you're ready to jump off and doing great

1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:47.599
<v Speaker 1>on I think Andre's doing great. I love Andre.

1:09:48.720 --> 1:09:50.160
<v Speaker 3>I want him to interface a little more at the

1:09:50.200 --> 1:09:51.360
<v Speaker 3>community on public safety.

1:09:51.520 --> 1:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I mean I think that you're seeing these people.

1:09:54.320 --> 1:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, you're right, and I think that you're

1:09:55.920 --> 1:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>seeing these people. And I just wish that we what

1:09:58.520 --> 1:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I what I want to while we're abolishing things and

1:10:00.920 --> 1:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>going down platforms. The only thing I would like to

1:10:03.040 --> 1:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>do is abolish litmus test. That's the only thing I

1:10:05.960 --> 1:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>would like to do. I mean, look like we we

1:10:08.360 --> 1:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>align around that. We don't have litmus tests at the WFP. Frankly, right,

1:10:12.720 --> 1:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>we don't. We don't do litmus test politics. We don't

1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>do that.

1:10:16.240 --> 1:10:18.640
<v Speaker 12>We really try to approach things from the standpoint of

1:10:18.800 --> 1:10:21.240
<v Speaker 12>like number one, how do we win? And number two

1:10:21.800 --> 1:10:23.600
<v Speaker 12>like for real, for real, what are the policies that

1:10:23.600 --> 1:10:25.960
<v Speaker 12>are actually going to prove improve the lives of working

1:10:25.960 --> 1:10:27.680
<v Speaker 12>class people like in our lifetimes?

1:10:27.800 --> 1:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Right?

1:10:28.479 --> 1:10:31.160
<v Speaker 12>And and look, I also think.

1:10:31.080 --> 1:10:33.120
<v Speaker 3>That well, I want to be on the Seattle Endorsement

1:10:33.120 --> 1:10:34.599
<v Speaker 3>Committee because this can't keep happening.

1:10:34.640 --> 1:10:38.600
<v Speaker 12>It's just say less, say less. We could have a

1:10:38.640 --> 1:10:39.720
<v Speaker 12>whole conversation around that.

1:10:39.880 --> 1:10:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Right has got to go.

1:10:41.280 --> 1:10:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Y'all going ad my other, my.

1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:46.960
<v Speaker 12>Other, my other invitation is like we're an actual, like

1:10:47.240 --> 1:10:49.880
<v Speaker 12>bottom up political party, Like I don't make the the

1:10:50.080 --> 1:10:52.799
<v Speaker 12>endorsement decisions. If you have a problem with an endorsement decision,

1:10:53.560 --> 1:10:55.960
<v Speaker 12>roll up your sleeves, get involved in the WP and

1:10:56.320 --> 1:10:59.439
<v Speaker 12>and then you know, organize the w P to move

1:10:59.479 --> 1:11:02.160
<v Speaker 12>in a different direction if you have a critique, that's

1:11:02.240 --> 1:11:03.280
<v Speaker 12>my that is.

1:11:03.360 --> 1:11:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Mind to be racist, Like I don't what I think?

1:11:05.880 --> 1:11:08.479
<v Speaker 3>What is what bothers me? And I'm just being honest

1:11:08.520 --> 1:11:11.479
<v Speaker 3>with you. I love you like you're somebody that's family

1:11:11.560 --> 1:11:15.760
<v Speaker 3>to me. I don't want you having people representing a

1:11:15.920 --> 1:11:17.640
<v Speaker 3>part of who you are and what you stand for

1:11:17.760 --> 1:11:20.040
<v Speaker 3>that are so out of lockstep for that. Now that's

1:11:20.080 --> 1:11:21.960
<v Speaker 3>something like I want to actually have a meet with them,

1:11:22.000 --> 1:11:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Like how could y'all miss the mark this bad? Like

1:11:23.800 --> 1:11:25.719
<v Speaker 3>it's no way MOA is gonna be on the side

1:11:25.720 --> 1:11:29.000
<v Speaker 3>of fire and wholesale black folks, especially on maternity leave

1:11:29.640 --> 1:11:32.240
<v Speaker 3>coming up with fake investigations like, I'm not with that.

1:11:32.479 --> 1:11:34.240
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, maybe would break the news here.

1:11:34.320 --> 1:11:36.240
<v Speaker 3>I think she's about to fire a deputy mayor who's

1:11:36.240 --> 1:11:38.839
<v Speaker 3>also black, but forgot it along the way, Brian Surratt,

1:11:39.120 --> 1:11:41.559
<v Speaker 3>So Hardy's looking for other jobs.

1:11:42.200 --> 1:11:43.439
<v Speaker 2>This dude's got to be out on his.

1:11:43.479 --> 1:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Ass nightly news report, right.

1:11:50.360 --> 1:11:54.320
<v Speaker 15>City Council President, listen before we leave, and I want

1:11:54.360 --> 1:11:56.280
<v Speaker 15>more to join us on this before we before we leave,

1:11:56.280 --> 1:11:57.960
<v Speaker 15>because we got to pay bills to do everything else.

1:11:58.439 --> 1:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh, let's do the call to action. Who cares about truth?

1:12:06.280 --> 1:12:07.680
<v Speaker 12>When the last morning seen it?

1:12:09.840 --> 1:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>We talked a lot of politics today and there have

1:12:12.000 --> 1:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of good things that happened. There's a

1:12:13.400 --> 1:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of work to do. I want to start with you. Well,

1:12:15.600 --> 1:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>we spent about thirty seconds in telling people that your

1:12:18.080 --> 1:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>call to action, what you expect people to or want

1:12:20.000 --> 1:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>people to do from this point forward.

1:12:22.800 --> 1:12:29.479
<v Speaker 12>M okay, Well, actually, I think black folks we need

1:12:29.640 --> 1:12:32.160
<v Speaker 12>to start loving each other in public a lot more.

1:12:32.640 --> 1:12:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1:12:33.200 --> 1:12:35.040
<v Speaker 12>And so I was this, this is something that just

1:12:35.120 --> 1:12:37.200
<v Speaker 12>happened to be It's a small thing, these small things.

1:12:37.479 --> 1:12:40.559
<v Speaker 12>This happened to me in Detroit. I was like out

1:12:40.640 --> 1:12:44.200
<v Speaker 12>campaigning and this random brother was like, hey, bro, I

1:12:44.360 --> 1:12:46.680
<v Speaker 12>like your fit, like you know, and we just had

1:12:46.680 --> 1:12:48.559
<v Speaker 12>a moment and I was like, I appreciate you, bro,

1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:50.400
<v Speaker 12>and I was like thank. It was like a lot

1:12:50.479 --> 1:12:52.479
<v Speaker 12>of times like we as brothers, we don't like compliment

1:12:52.520 --> 1:12:55.879
<v Speaker 12>each other. And he was like, well, he's like, I'm secure.

1:12:56.000 --> 1:12:58.880
<v Speaker 12>A secure brother could compliment another brother. And we we

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:03.880
<v Speaker 12>engaged in this moment of appreciation and black love, and

1:13:04.520 --> 1:13:06.000
<v Speaker 12>we just got to do a lot more of that.

1:13:06.160 --> 1:13:08.120
<v Speaker 12>We got to love upon each other as black people

1:13:08.240 --> 1:13:11.559
<v Speaker 12>in this world, and it really it costs nothing, costs

1:13:11.680 --> 1:13:14.080
<v Speaker 12>very little, and so I just hope we could do

1:13:14.160 --> 1:13:16.960
<v Speaker 12>more of that. That's a very easy lift for anybody

1:13:17.040 --> 1:13:17.200
<v Speaker 12>to do.

1:13:17.920 --> 1:13:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah or usual, I am aligned with my brother.

1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:22.080
<v Speaker 3>The thing that I was going to tap into for

1:13:22.160 --> 1:13:24.000
<v Speaker 3>a call to action is I think you all can

1:13:24.040 --> 1:13:28.200
<v Speaker 3>see here there's not much that Maurice and I disagree on.

1:13:28.400 --> 1:13:30.439
<v Speaker 3>I disagree. A lot more would be by the way,

1:13:30.520 --> 1:13:33.680
<v Speaker 3>but I think that there's a way to have conversations

1:13:33.680 --> 1:13:36.320
<v Speaker 3>where iron sharpens iron and you don't cancel each other.

1:13:36.640 --> 1:13:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Part of loving black people, part of loving people culturally,

1:13:40.080 --> 1:13:44.200
<v Speaker 3>communally and in coalition, is about giving people the spaciousness

1:13:44.280 --> 1:13:46.840
<v Speaker 3>to disagree and see how you can collectively get to yes,

1:13:47.120 --> 1:13:49.840
<v Speaker 3>what do we agree on? Liberation for our people, which

1:13:49.920 --> 1:13:52.760
<v Speaker 3>means liberation for all people. That means that we there

1:13:52.880 --> 1:13:54.760
<v Speaker 3>is a road that we can walk down together, even

1:13:54.800 --> 1:13:56.880
<v Speaker 3>if part of the way we arguing, But we're going

1:13:56.960 --> 1:13:58.760
<v Speaker 3>and we're gonna get there. So I encourage you all

1:13:58.800 --> 1:14:01.360
<v Speaker 3>to do the same. Stop to cancel people. It ain't cute.

1:14:01.560 --> 1:14:03.160
<v Speaker 3>It ain't cute, and some of y'all ain't cute, and

1:14:03.240 --> 1:14:04.680
<v Speaker 3>that's part of the reason why you spend so much

1:14:04.720 --> 1:14:05.639
<v Speaker 3>time canceling folks.

1:14:06.920 --> 1:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I was having a conversation with Chris Coons this morning,

1:14:08.880 --> 1:14:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the United States Senator from Delaware, and he just reminded

1:14:12.320 --> 1:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>me that life is so unpredictable. That we were talking

1:14:15.240 --> 1:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of things, and he was just saying

1:14:17.120 --> 1:14:19.439
<v Speaker 1>along the same lines that he's been spending a lot

1:14:19.479 --> 1:14:22.519
<v Speaker 1>of time with his family, his friends from high school,

1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>his friends from college. I encourage everybody to do that

1:14:25.160 --> 1:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>because when your time is nia, you will not know

1:14:29.479 --> 1:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and you will not have time to prepare. So have

1:14:33.080 --> 1:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>your luggage ready to go. With that being said, thank

1:14:37.120 --> 1:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you for joining another episode of the Native Land Podcast.

1:14:41.040 --> 1:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>We want to thank Maurice Thank you so much, brother,

1:14:45.120 --> 1:14:45.400
<v Speaker 1>thank you.

1:14:45.760 --> 1:14:47.719
<v Speaker 12>It's always good chopping it up with y'all.

1:14:47.960 --> 1:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got to take you on the road.

1:14:50.439 --> 1:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah we did.

1:14:51.040 --> 1:14:51.240
<v Speaker 9>We did.

1:14:51.640 --> 1:14:53.560
<v Speaker 12>It was like for real, And you know, I have

1:14:53.760 --> 1:14:57.360
<v Speaker 12>so much to say about this whole discourse about like

1:14:57.640 --> 1:15:01.559
<v Speaker 12>progresses versus black folks, and also like, look, the media

1:15:01.640 --> 1:15:03.800
<v Speaker 12>needs to stop playing in the WFP's face. How about that,

1:15:04.280 --> 1:15:07.080
<v Speaker 12>because like you know, this whole wave started in the

1:15:07.240 --> 1:15:10.599
<v Speaker 12>winter in New Jersey, in the Sumburs in New Jersey

1:15:10.640 --> 1:15:14.360
<v Speaker 12>with Ana Lila Mahia all the way through. Like, honestly,

1:15:14.439 --> 1:15:18.439
<v Speaker 12>I feel like there is a plot to remove us

1:15:18.479 --> 1:15:21.880
<v Speaker 12>from the discourse because WP is led multiple levels of

1:15:22.040 --> 1:15:24.639
<v Speaker 12>led by people of color and black people, Like our

1:15:24.720 --> 1:15:28.360
<v Speaker 12>Michigan chapter is led by a brother, Brandon, Brandon Snyder

1:15:28.439 --> 1:15:31.439
<v Speaker 12>that built this amazing black organization Detroit Action is not

1:15:31.520 --> 1:15:34.840
<v Speaker 12>building the WFP out there. I'm the national director of

1:15:34.880 --> 1:15:38.000
<v Speaker 12>the WFP. It complicates the narrative when we're the ones

1:15:38.000 --> 1:15:40.120
<v Speaker 12>who are building the infrastructure for insurgents.

1:15:40.160 --> 1:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to I want to see that. I want

1:15:41.960 --> 1:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to see it permeate throughout the South. But we stay,

1:15:45.479 --> 1:15:47.439
<v Speaker 1>we got we gotta keep working. We'll be joined by

1:15:47.520 --> 1:15:50.599
<v Speaker 1>journalist Janey Norman to unpack more evidence in the case

1:15:50.640 --> 1:15:53.479
<v Speaker 1>of Nolan Wells and our mini pod. That's the eighteen

1:15:53.520 --> 1:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>year old who died on the fourth of July while

1:15:55.479 --> 1:15:57.519
<v Speaker 1>voting with his all white friend group. We ain't letting

1:15:57.560 --> 1:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that story die. Angela ROI will not let that story.

1:16:00.200 --> 1:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>We always let that brother and his family up. As always,

1:16:03.120 --> 1:16:05.559
