0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>sporadic social media posts parking lot, pimping and guess what else?

<v Speaker 3>Welcome poet. The poet has our poet, Lauria.

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 4>This is a teaching moment everybody across the globe who

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 4>falls on content that was unlessing.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 3>My name is not rhyme.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 4>My name is but me and that's okay, it's phonetic.

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Everything's fine.

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what. Nobody has told.

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.199
<v Speaker 3>Me that it's in the script, but keep going.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know, but but all the time.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 5>But it's also to also it's also to ease though,

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 5>so I mean that would yeah.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 6>But phonetically it's it's people and it's Renees got to

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 6>ease sometimes I can understand the confusion, but it does.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 4>There's no accent on my and.

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I did take French for four years and for college,

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>so I think I try to.

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Let's just let's just the last party.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>No, but he went to fam. We should keep that

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>so that every.

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Brother running from family expect for all of our awesome,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>incredible listeners. I know you all's heads have been on

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a swivel as Donald Trump continues his march to have

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>all of us on some kind of anxiety prescription medication.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>But the devil is a liar.

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot going on in the world.

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>We're going to do our very best to cover as

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>many of these important topics as we possibly can. I

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>will go ahead and not bury the lead. Elections occurred

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>this week, and we're going to talk about it. It

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>will be part of our main topic today. But also

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a war raging in the middle East, and it

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>seems to be expanding every single day, taking on a

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>new country and a new country and a new country.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>This is the world in Donald Trump's mind and now

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>our unfortunate reality. But before we get to all of that,

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>we've got, of course Bakari's favorite part of the show bus.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm the only one that uses that.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 7>So are.

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Is your situation awareness?

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>And y'all, I'm just gonna invite you to bring in

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>your topics the thing that you wanted the listeners to

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>be aware of. But I'm gonna kick us off because

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I have grown very, very used to and I'm sure

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you all have as well. When you're watching congressional hearings

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>under these Republican senators leadership also known as ladies in

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>waiting to Trump, Democrats do all the heavy lifting well

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>this week, and in this particular committee, the Democrats got

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>an assist from a Republican none other than Tom Tillis

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>of North Carolina as they for the first time heard

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>from Secretary of Christy Noome Department of Homeland Security since

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>all of the chaos that she rolled out and Minnesota.

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's hear Tom Tillis joined the Democrats and some.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 8>Heavy lifting on the committee, and what we've seen is

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 8>a disaster under your leadership, Misnown a disaster. What we've

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 8>seen is innocent people getting detained that turn out our

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 8>American citizens. I could talk about the culture that's been

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 8>created here with Stephen Miller aiding in a betting. I

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 8>heard first reports that he was the one that said

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 8>it was a domestic terrorist situation where two people lost

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 8>their lives in Minneapolis.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I've heard that report. Maybe you can refute it.

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 8>I don't know that we'll have time for you to

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 8>respond because I'm giving you a performance evaluation here. I'm

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 8>not looking for a response, and I'm saying Misnown that

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 8>time after time after time.

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>I've been disappointed.

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 8>But before I get back to looking at the vicious

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 8>people that did this damage to these families, I want

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 8>to talk a minute about FEMA.

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So, y'all, I was just going to say, bear with

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>me because there's a second clip from the senator, and

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>usually we don't go this long with the clips, but y'all,

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>is not every day that a Republican finds a spine.

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>So go with the second part because it wasn't just

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>about Ice. He also wanted to school the Secretary about

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:05.559
<v Speaker 1>her book.

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 8>Secretary, I read your book last week, and honestly, some

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 8>of the parts of it impressed me, but some of

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 8>it distresses me. And I'll give you a good example

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 8>of one that does the passage where you talk about

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 8>killing a dog that was fourteen months old. I trained dogs,

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 8>all right, and you are a farmer. You should know better.

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 8>You should know that if you're going out to a

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 8>hunting lodge and you're putting pheasants out and you're putting

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 8>dogs out, you don't take a puppy out there. A

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 8>fourteen month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years.

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 8>You decided to kill that dog because you had not

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 8>invested the appropriate time in training. And then you have

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 8>the audacity to go into a book and say it's

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 8>a leadership lesson about tough choices.

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:53.159
<v Speaker 2>It's in your book.

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 8>We could play it if we had time. At that

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 8>same lunch hour, you killed a goat, and you killed

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 8>the goat because you said it was behaved badly. You

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 8>are a farmer. You don't castright to go they behave badly.

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 8>You should have probably done that before. But my point

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 8>is those are bad decisions made in the heat of

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 8>the moment. Not unlike what happened up in Minneapolis. I

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 8>expect we're an exceptional nation, and one of the reasons

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 8>we're exceptional is we expect exceptional leadership. And you've demonstrated

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 8>anything but that. And the time that I've seen you

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 8>responding to the emergency in North Carolina and across the Southeast,

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 8>and acknowledging when mistakes are made and speaking too soon

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 8>for the expedient of social media or whatever it is.

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Why is he still talking, I'm gonna say.

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Because it is long refreshing. However, to hear a Republican

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 1>finally stand up saying all along with with with a

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>degree of earnestness that reflects I think where the majority

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of American people are now. If you all are wondering

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>on the listening side, how it is that Tom Tillers

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>found the courage.

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I should have also said that he.

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Has announced his retirement, you're running again for re election

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 1>from the great state of the Carolina.

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 5>I still think there's value in it, and I am

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 5>not going to I'm not gonna I actually know Tom Tillis.

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 5>He was a Speaker of the House in North Carolina

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 5>when I was in the General Assembly here, so I

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 5>actually am very familiar. I broke my ribs playing in

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 5>the North Carolina South Carolina basketball game one time, and

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 5>Tom Tillis escorted me to the hospital. I know him

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 5>very well, just in a random story. However, there has

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 5>to be space during this time of battle where when

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 5>people do right, say right things, regardless of their circumstances

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 5>or context, we add them to our you know, mode

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 5>or means in which we're fighting this battle. At the

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 5>end of the day, politics is still the same, and

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 5>people forget this all the time, and activists forget this

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 5>all the time, and people on the far left and

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 5>far right forget this all the time. And politics is

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 5>about addition and multiplication, it's not about subtraction and division.

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 5>Tom till Us hit every note.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 2>He was right.

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying he's a democrat. I'm not saying we

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 5>should give him a medal of honor. I'm not saying

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 5>anything else. But I'm saying, during this moment of truth

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 5>and honesty, he said everything appropriately about Christy. No, he

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 5>skewered her appropriately, and he's going to lay the foundation

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 5>for others.

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 2>To do the same.

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Can I just say.

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 6>It is so frustrating that they finally stopped gaslighting us

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 6>when they decide to retire or resign because they got

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 6>caught up in their own stuff. It's really frustrating, especially

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 6>given where we are right now. What also irritated me

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 6>remarkably about the farmer connection to Minneapolis is we're talking

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 6>about two people who were killed in Minneapolis that we

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.559
<v Speaker 6>know of all of the hundreds of people who have

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 6>been disappeared in this country.

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Keith Porter Junior, who was killed.

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 6>In California, and he's talking about a goddamn dog and

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 6>a goat.

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 3>So I just at that point taken.

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 2>But that was four minutes.

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 6>Excuse me, I know what he said, and we damn

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 6>near played all fifteen minutes on the show, I'm sure,

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 6>and I'm saying I heard enough at forty five seconds in.

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 6>I do not want people's lives to be compared to

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 6>the farmer's bad decisions about a goat and a dog.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 6>And I'm not saying that the goat and the dog

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 6>don't deserve to live before Tiff, Peta and everybody the

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 6>hell else come after me.

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.319
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying is, please do not.

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 6>Compare ice is bad decisions with their bad bonuses that

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 6>people will never badly get to what she did on

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 6>the farm. I just don't care her should have stayed

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 6>on the farm anyway.

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 3>That's all I got it, Just Tom, whatever.

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 6>Tom, thank you for taking Makari's broke ribs to the

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 6>hospital too.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 3>We appreciate you.

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 5>First of all, I felt a lot better. I felt

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 5>a lot better after that. They gave me this little

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 5>medicated anyway, go ahead.

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.439
<v Speaker 3>Thank Someone said it's fine.

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm sad and I understand what you're saying, because I don't.

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't think we have to equate like human lives

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 4>to animalize for them to matter. I think what I

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 4>took from that clip, I ignore a lot of the

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 4>fluff because I don't expect nothing but bullshit to come

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 4>out to people's mouths anyway, especially if they're late to

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 4>the game. But just what I took out of it

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 4>is using Christy Dum's words against her, her trying to

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 4>peddle this propaganda that she has to make tough decisions

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 4>as a leader, when the tough decisions she made were

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 4>due to a lack of poor planning on her part

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 4>as a leader. So that's what I took from it.

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 4>I hear what everybody's saying, but anytime somebody is calling

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>out Christyna, I'm gonna figure out what they're saying because

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 4>they're true to it.

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>That's how I feel that we're moving on. But just

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to say I think I think we are. Let's state

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the obvious. We're applauding people for doing the very basic

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>level of their jobs. I get it, But when when

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 1>it is so absent by the other side, it does

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.079
<v Speaker 1>seem to stand out when somebody over there does stand up,

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>or at least sits up if he ain't all the

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>way standing. Angela, I heard you have something on your mind.

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>You wanted to get off staying.

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 6>With crazy white women. Meghan Kelly is who I want

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 6>to talk about this morning. Megan Kelly. For the first

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 6>time in my black life, I think I might agree

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 6>with her.

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's roll the clip.

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 9>Look, there are massive divisions over what we've done here,

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 9>and people are going to change their minds over the

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 9>coming days and weeks one way or the other. But

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 9>my own feeling is no one should have to die

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 9>for a foreign country. I don't think those four service

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 9>members died for the United States. I think they died

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 9>for Iran or for Israel. I think I understand how

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 9>this helps Iron perfectly.

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, I get it.

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 9>I mean, I hope long term we'll see, but they

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 9>seem rather jubilant. Eighty percent of the country does not

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 9>support the Ayatola. He was a terrible, terrible man. No

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 9>one's crying that he's dead, no normal person. But our

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 9>government's jobs not to look out for Iran or for Israel.

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 3>It's to look out for us.

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 9>And this feels very much to me like it is

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 9>clearly Israel's war. Mark Levin wanted it. It's his war,

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 9>Ben Shapiro, Lindsay Graham, Maria Maddelson.

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 3>That's obvious.

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 9>They're the ones who've been pushing us into them.

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 3>So I want to just clarify.

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 6>I didn't agree with everything she said, but I think

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 6>that it's important to note that there are too many

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 6>times where American lives are sacrificed for a concept that

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 6>we may not be clear on the fact that Donald

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.079
<v Speaker 6>Trump did not get congressional approval authorization for this war,

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 6>and he ran on America first and not engaging in war,

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 6>and he's engaging in the very opposite of that. In fact,

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 6>there was conversation about Ecuador putting troops on the ground

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 6>in Ecuador just on Tuesday. So I just want to

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 6>flag that this is the first common sensical thing I

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 6>have ever heard Meghan Kelly say.

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 3>So kudos to you, Megan.

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Try to keep it on the side of attraction and uification.

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 5>That's just what we said about Tom Tillis. I mean,

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 5>it's kind of the same same trough.

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 3>You see that.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>It's because it's the same thing. I mean, somebody on

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 2>the other side. Finally, I know.

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying. He's not okay, I want to hear

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 3>this go.

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.959
<v Speaker 5>I mean I'm going to say something that I'm trying

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 5>to say, something like a superficial no. I mean, I'm

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 5>not going to dig into the content of it, because

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 5>it is what it is. I was going to say

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 5>that I actually appreciated the Dracula chic that she was

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 5>wearing with the collar bone, with the collar bone to

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 5>the mid drift out.

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I just thought that the dragon, that's what it is.

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.599
<v Speaker 2>It's called above that above the what's it above the

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 2>us from the rest of the collar bone. What is

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>it your chest? That's the chest.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 6>No, it's it's got a French name. What's this I

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:57.359
<v Speaker 6>don't know.

0:13:59.559 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Whatever.

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 6>Anyway, I don't see I don't think I want to

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 6>hear Andrew, I want to hear what I want.

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the Actually, she's not in office office.

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:18.839
<v Speaker 2>She is a person.

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 4>I was just going to say in the vein of

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 4>people who frequently say things that we don't want to hear,

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 4>or who are who are canonically on the wrong side

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 4>of history, just right for the first time. I also

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 4>think of Nick Flint as telling about about Democrats.

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Now, like my thing about all these I didn't see that.

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I think my thing with all these people is

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 4>are they saying things that are on I guess our

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 4>side of the fight? Sure, but they are only commenting

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 4>on things they think are so like far from I

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 4>guess themselves. But the issues that remain here in America,

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 4>there's still one hundred percent down for perpetuating absolutely lives

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 4>on on Three of those people agreed.

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>But I think I do think it's I think it's

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>fair game for folks to criticize us when if we

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>give laudatory comments about people who otherwise ninety nine point

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>nine percent of the time are opposite us and want

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to speak to our demise. But the truth is is

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody don't get bought to the savior the same way, right,

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Different different walks in life lead you down that past.

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 4>That's where I'm cutting it off. I'm not giving these

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 4>people that much just because you have one good opinion

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 4>or no.

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, if it leads to.

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>If it leads to them voting the right way, tossing

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Republicans out of power and putting Democrats in who will

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 1>then hopefully have their spine, keep.

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 2>The president and you know, accountable, I'm all.

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Right, But I don't think to a temporary fix or

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 4>a temporary hurrah.

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I got after. I don't think.

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe it's a marriage made in forever. I

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>think it is a trans stand there it is. It's

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a transition.

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 3>It's not.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Caution.

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 5>All the young people listening one night stands can't lift.

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 5>It can lead to a long, long you know.

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't know why it is doing off message. He

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 6>said that Ellen would kill him, But.

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 10>I'm just saying, can't lead to a long day long

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 10>before we get I think you had a story to

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 10>tell before.

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Is that a seguestion? That's a terrible segue.

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 6>I was gonna say, before we went down this tragic

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 6>road that I think we can file both of these,

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 6>even though I don't see the exact parallel. I'm willing

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 6>to file both of these under broken clocks are right

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 6>twice a day.

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's okay. That's all I got for y'all.

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Said, Okay, yes, I just want to do a little

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 4>bit of chatting. I guess this is more pop culturey.

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 4>But the brand owner, Ania of Honeyfa the brand, is

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 4>deciding to shut down her business.

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 3>If believe, we have a graphic.

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 4>There are a lot of videos out there, but they're

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.959
<v Speaker 4>kind of long discussing what went down. A little bit

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 4>of the backstory is she had this super sale over

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 4>Black Friday. She had like forty five percent off of

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.360
<v Speaker 4>all garments, but they were all pre order, and unfortunately

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 4>for her business manufacturing to have so many delays, it

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.439
<v Speaker 4>pushed people's pre orders back and people were rightfully upset.

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 4>And so after the initial discomfort, people supposed to get

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:35.439
<v Speaker 4>their stuff in December, Decembruary, December, and January, and still

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 4>some folks have not gotten their things. So she posted

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 4>earlier this week and says it's a strange thing to

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.400
<v Speaker 4>grieve something that's still alive, because at times this entire

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 4>situation feels like grief. The waves of it just heavy

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 4>in a way that's hard to explain. I've been sitting

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 4>with this question for some time now. Is it all

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 4>worth it? I've considered shutting Hanifa down because that was

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 4>a lot. I think we can all agree when something

0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.160
<v Speaker 4>goes wrong at this level, you don't argue the cost,

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 4>you deal with it, and you take responsibility.

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 2>This well, is that the only way to take responsibility

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 2>and ask a question?

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Because I'm not I think there's a lot of measures

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 4>to try to take responsibility.

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.159
<v Speaker 5>I can ask a question I don't. I don't know

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 5>much about this, but like and so this question comes

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 5>from pure ignorance. That's my self awareness. My therapist keeps

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 5>talking to me about so, like why why why have

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 5>a sell and sell more product than you can afford

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 5>to sell.

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.639
<v Speaker 4>I think it's her business model. I was you have

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.639
<v Speaker 4>a shot at Hanifa before tell you?

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 2>This is how I said.

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 5>It comes stract on you just on a basic like ignorance,

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 5>like economics platform. Thank you, Angela. I'm trying to.

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Really saying, I don't know that she was asking you.

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 6>I think she was asking generally, Yeah, now you tell

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 6>us what you were doing, because I didn't know.

0:18:58.560 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 3>It's fine.

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.639
<v Speaker 4>I was just gonna say, I think it's her business model,

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 4>and sometimes it might be more advantageous financially for a

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.919
<v Speaker 4>business to do business this way, especially if they have

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 4>a particular relationship and turn around time with manufacturers. Sometimes

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 4>it's just the way that they choose. It has worked

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.119
<v Speaker 4>for her in the past. As someone who has shopped

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.159
<v Speaker 4>at Hanifa a number of times, there are always items

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 4>that seem to be on pre order, but I often

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 4>get them before the date that's said on the website.

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 4>This just happened to be a really unfortunate situation, and

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.640
<v Speaker 4>she was on maternity leave, and I think what exacerbated

0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.720
<v Speaker 4>the situation is that the forty five percent off sale

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 4>brought in a lot of customers that don't typically shop

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.120
<v Speaker 4>because the price point is a little higher because Anifa

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 4>is a brand that is more catered to special occasions

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 4>and a little bit better quality than what a lot

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 4>of women have options to shop for. But anyway, so

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 4>it just brought in a lot of people who are

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 4>not familiar with her model or just with the business itself,

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.199
<v Speaker 4>and so it just engendered a huge conversation online about

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.360
<v Speaker 4>whether she herself, as an individual is responsible for this mishap,

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 4>whether the business adequately try.

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 3>To remedy the prepoty of the situation.

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 4>All I know is that they try to do a

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 4>lot of communicating about what was going on. But someone

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 4>made a video that was a great point. I just

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 4>said that they focused on like special occasional, where so

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people order this, banking on it to

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.199
<v Speaker 4>be here on top for a particular opportunity, and so

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 4>they've already invested X amount of dollars on this to

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 4>now not have it, it does create frustration. But I

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 4>think what that person also said in the video I'm

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 4>thinking of is that we don't have this same sort

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 4>of vitriol when we get seventy two items from sin

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 4>and none of them fit.

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.919
<v Speaker 3>Right well and this is poorly made. This is the

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:39.640
<v Speaker 3>thing I think.

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 6>You know, I was raised in a household where it

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.639
<v Speaker 6>was so important to us to shop black businesses, and

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.199
<v Speaker 6>so the narrative that a lot of people have around

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 6>you know, well, if it's a black business, you're not

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:53.920
<v Speaker 6>gonna get it on time, or it ain't gonna do

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 6>you write it and have an attitude.

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:55.440
<v Speaker 3>We didn't.

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 6>I didn't grow up with that, and so it always

0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 6>shocks me to see that type of vitriol and hate,

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 6>especially in a public space like on social.

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 3>ANIFA has always been helpful, Like.

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 6>I had some stuff on back order for a while

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 6>that I ordered in October and I got it basically

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:15.879
<v Speaker 6>for Christmas. And I know, like tariffs are impacting our businesses,

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 6>whether you're black, brown, white, or whatever. You know, manufacturers

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 6>don't can't afford to stay open because of inflation and

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.399
<v Speaker 6>all of these other things. There are many challenges that

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:29.000
<v Speaker 6>go far beyond you know, this very amazing visual that

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 6>she's created in her products, which are also amazing and

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 6>amazing quality.

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.119
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to wear the four things I ordered.

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.360
<v Speaker 6>But I will just say like I hate this for her,

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 6>and I hate that it had to be such a

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 6>public condemnation. It wasn't loving at all. It didn't feel

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.360
<v Speaker 6>like a build up. It felt like people very much

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 6>so waiting to tear her down. So I just want

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 6>to send love to her.

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 2>This isn't her motive operanda, right, This is now.

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 6>You know what I'm saying is she relied on a

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 6>manufacturer that fell short, so there was a break of region.

0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you What I was trying to establish is whether

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>or not. This is kind of how it is. It's

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:05.640
<v Speaker 1>always a.

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 6>Del I think one day was saying the same thing,

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.480
<v Speaker 6>right like, this has never been the case. Normally she

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 6>would get her items before the pre order date established.

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 6>Same And I'm saying that there are other implications. And

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.360
<v Speaker 6>so when we tell people at home to to pay

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 6>assision to politics, that if you don't do politics, politics will.

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Still do you. This is what we mean.

0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:27.159
<v Speaker 6>It will impact you at healthcare from urgent care to

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 6>your primary care physician. It will impact the prescription drug

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 6>that your parent has to rely on. It will impact

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 6>whether or not you get your bad ass dress to

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:36.920
<v Speaker 6>wear in time for that event you couldn't wait to

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 6>get to. Your politics, will do you step up? Say something,

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 6>and definitely don't attack one another. We cannot afford to

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 6>cannibalize each other.

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 5>I was going to say that this is a unique

0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.760
<v Speaker 5>time for black businesses. I think that they're filling the

0:22:57.840 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 5>runt of a lot of things. And I feel like,

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.439
<v Speaker 5>upon my questioning, because I don't I don't shop at ANEFF,

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't know them, and so that's why I was

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 5>appreciative of you guys educating me on the topic.

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.120
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like they're different.

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 5>Bushels that black businesses fall into, like the general public.

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 5>But I think that we're seeing whether or not you're

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:17.920
<v Speaker 5>to my slutty Vegan that's utilizing all of the resources

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 5>necessary that they could use in terms of bankruptcy and

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 5>other things like other business issues, or Uncleaneers which is

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 5>going through their own issues, or now Hanifa, which is

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 5>going through their own issues. I think each one of

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 5>those three are in three different bushels. But I think

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:35.399
<v Speaker 5>we should probably talk about that or dig through on

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:38.160
<v Speaker 5>this show in particular, maybe in the upcoming weeks, bring

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.439
<v Speaker 5>somebody on to talk about and educate folks on some

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:42.919
<v Speaker 5>of the trials and tribulations that these black businesses are

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 5>going through during these turmulent times. Because I just identify

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 5>three that are struggling on different fronts, like in different ways.

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I wish you say what No.

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I myself I had a business. I started a

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.399
<v Speaker 4>business maybe year and a half ago, and it was

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 4>primarily tea but also fine China, like actual tea cups

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 4>manufactured in China.

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:07.400
<v Speaker 7>Cup.

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 3>She uses it on pimping for those to watch not

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 3>close by.

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 4>But once I saw the things that were happening with

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 4>the tariffs, and also hearing from my manufacturers that things

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 4>were slowing down because I know, because I already knew

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 4>that running the business was already a tax on myself

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 4>as a creative, and all these things, I liquidated it.

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I said, we can come.

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Back to this later once all this off a six.

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 4>But I knew it was not going to turn out

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 4>well for me given my particular products. That's not any

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 4>sort of shade to anybody else who didn't make that decision.

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 4>But I want to go back to your earlier question

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 4>as well, about like why have a model or why

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 4>sell more than you can afford? Pre order sometimes has

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 4>to be what black businesses get because they don't have

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:43.120
<v Speaker 4>the capital.

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 5>It's not afford Like I don't want to say no, no, no,

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 5>I want to be it's not more than you can,

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 5>it's not more than you can afford. It's understanding your production,

0:24:55.760 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 5>meeting your the the request or the volume request, and

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 5>so there has to be some and I and this

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 5>isn't I'm not I'm not condemning Hanifah. I'm just asking

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.159
<v Speaker 5>a question of can you produce as much as the

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 5>request or the supply requires? Can can your can your

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean can your demand? Can your supply meet your demand?

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Is what I'm is simply what I'm asking. That is

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 5>the question that I wanted.

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.680
<v Speaker 6>She would have said yes before, and I think's earlier.

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:23.440
<v Speaker 3>We should move on to the next flip.

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, like she she got a flood of new customers,

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 6>So no, in that instance, she couldn't every other time

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:29.160
<v Speaker 6>she could.

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I hate to believe you this.

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I just the reason I asked early on was closing

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 1>the only option here, it seems, and you all may

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>know you clearly would know better than me. But maybe

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.439
<v Speaker 1>there were a number of things happening and then like

0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>this on top of it. Or was this this unfortunate

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 1>delay and the unique nature of the demand being so

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:58.640
<v Speaker 1>much greater than what her normal sales might might solicit.

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Was was whatever indebtedness that was created from that incident

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:07.199
<v Speaker 1>so great a financial burden going forward that she just

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 1>couldn't keep keep the business.

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Or was it brand harm too? That could be it too.

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:13.359
<v Speaker 4>I think it was a number of things. She also

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 4>has a brand spaking new baby boy at the house,

0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 4>and it's could.

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Have been a lot, been a lot too, Okay, all right,

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel that all right? Well, I wish them what's

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:25.439
<v Speaker 1>the weather. Funny thing because list of the businesses was

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:30.360
<v Speaker 1>that in our community, it's crazy because we can list

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>the businesses on our fingers, and in the majority community

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:36.720
<v Speaker 1>we get abused. I mean, I ordered some cologne, my

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>favorite from a very uh well known inexpensive and paid

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:43.040
<v Speaker 1>for that two dollars rush because.

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I needed here. I'm not talking to you.

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:56.359
<v Speaker 1>My point is is that it didn't get here in

0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>time almost three No, it's I'm to say two days today, Russia.

0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's bring it to the point. That's the point is

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that if it were a black business, there are some

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 1>folks who may have gone and blown it up because

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:10.919
<v Speaker 1>you paid whatever.

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 2>But this was a.

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Well known hir End brand, and of course that wasn't

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be my default, nor did I make that.

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:21.679
<v Speaker 1>The thing that I now think about them is that

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't deliver on that that that's not the new narrative.

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 2>That I have for them.

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>And so I guess part of it is is like

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 1>we also have to show some grace or equality between

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:38.160
<v Speaker 1>how we treat works.

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:40.640
<v Speaker 6>I was wait, I just want to say really quick,

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 6>as a point of clarification, Anifa has not decided that

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 6>she's going to shut down. She is contemplating shutting down,

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 6>so I want to make sure it's very clear about it.

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>She has a raise. I hope she reach it. If

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 2>it works that we know we all have the.

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 6>Same time, the main one saying that you got a

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:02.920
<v Speaker 6>heart out at two fifteen, so let me do it.

0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 6>Let's go next clip.

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 2>That's why I need therapy.

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:09.399
<v Speaker 3>This is why I heard you learned.

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Somebody with a heart out. That's not Is this a segue?

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 3>It's happening, but it's not you.

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Bruh.

<v Speaker 5>Oh, we do something happening and the global so I

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 5>didn't know which one we were going to, but yes,

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 5>I think that this. I think that as we look at.

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Our own.

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Skip.

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:33.160
<v Speaker 1>toss that we cut.

<v Speaker 2>didn't work, but it's cool. I like Clinton.

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm so confused.

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know we're going to do Clinton. You're not

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>doing Yeah, slip hard out doesn't work anymore.

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 6>I would have kept that toss, but thank you.

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 2>That would have been hilarious.

0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:01.000

<v Speaker 5>joined us last week. Uh Williams advocate public advocate in

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 5>New York, who heard a lot about about Tourette's. And

0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 5>after watching that, I also am somebody who is that

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 5>weird guy who puts on the NFL network and watches

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:48.440

<v Speaker 2>And I found a young man named Casey concept she on.

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 5>I hope I pronounced his last name correctly, but he

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 5>spoke with a stutter. And and watch this clip that

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 5>we have here where he's actually given an interview, and

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 5>then we'll follow.

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Up with his remarks. After my meeting with the Bills,

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 2>it went really well.

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 12>You know, you know I'm actually from you know, well,

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 12>I was actually born in New York rock you know,

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 12>uh five a five. You know I mout out a Charlie.

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 12>You know when I was about five, you know that's

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 12>that that is the Bills. Is is actually my dad's

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 12>favorite team. So you know, you know I've been watching him,

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 12>you know, uh, I I have been watching you know,

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 12>us since I was young. I've been seeing you know,

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 12>Josh Allen. You know, uh, he's one of the best

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 12>quarterbacks in the league.

0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I would be grateful, and first of all,

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 5>shout out to that brother for standing in front of

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 5>the mics. And then I'll read a bit of his

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 5>uh statement that he put up afterwards, in which he says,

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 5>I want to say something. If you have a speech impediment,

0:30:53.120 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 5>there's nothing wrong with us. I've had this stutter since

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 5>I can't remember talking. This is a part of me.

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 5>This is who I am. I can I control this.

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 5>I want to be a role model for those who

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 5>may be scared to speak up, who may be afraid

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 5>and not confident in yourself.

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I stand with you.

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 5>He goes all the way through, and his hashtag, I

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 5>think is even more importantly, which is stopped the negativity.

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 5>And so you know, I wanted to talk about this

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 5>briefly because I feel like the way we treat disability

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 5>in this country matters and depends on the way that

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 5>you look. And it stuck out to me because we

0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 5>were educated and chastised. Not Jermaine Jimini, excuse me not

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 5>he educated us in a way, but I'm just talking

0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 5>about just a very generalized way that we were educated

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:46.720
<v Speaker 5>and castigated by the way that we talked about the

0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 5>Bathto moment with John Davidson, and educated in just such

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 5>a forceful way where this young black boy got on

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 5>a stage at his biggest moment, gave his heart out

0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 5>and yes, he stuttered, and there was lampooning on social media.

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 5>He was roundly laughed at. People mocked him as I'm

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:09.560
<v Speaker 5>sure he's gotten his whole life, and there was no

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 5>forceful you know, stop treating this nigga like this. There

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 5>was none of that. There was none of that from

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 5>our community. It kind of just kind of went fell

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 5>to the wayside. It was none of that from other

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 5>communities which we come out and support and then we're

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 5>forced to learn about these things. And so I was

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:27.160
<v Speaker 5>proud that he stood above it. I hope he gets

0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 5>drafted by whatever team he wants to, but I'm a

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 5>buy a Jersey. I don't know if he's gonna be

0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 5>great in football or not. But I'm about Jersey just

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 5>because I rocked with him, because of how he'd stood

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 5>up and stood strong.

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 6>I was gonna ask you what happened because I saw

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 6>his statement, I heard him, and I didn't even really hear.

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 2>The stutter like for a lot of us Shoe Yeah.

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 6>Even on our show, we'll be like, uh, you know

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 6>often and we don't have speech impediments.

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 3>We're just trying to collect our thoughts.

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:56.560
<v Speaker 6>He seemed very clear to me, and there's no shade

0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 6>to people who have, you know, a stronger stutter. I

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 6>would curious to know what happened to make him issues.

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, he had a lot of individuals who decided to

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:08.160
<v Speaker 5>kind of pour venom on it. Yes, he he You

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 5>can tell when you listen to people, and I've listen.

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 5>I had to educate myself. I ain't gonna lite to

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.600
<v Speaker 5>you a little bit, uh, and I've learned a lot.

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 5>So they're feeling words gap fillers that people utilize when

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 5>they have a stutter. If you go back and listen

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 5>to them speak again, you'll hear those kind of gap

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 5>fillers that he used. But at the end of the day,

0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:26.479
<v Speaker 5>he was when he walked off stage, he was proud

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 5>so I was proud of him, you know, you know,

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:30.200
<v Speaker 5>it was a big moment, and I didn't like the

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 5>way people treated him, but you know, it kind of

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:33.760
<v Speaker 5>is what it is right now.

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I think all of community he was like just picked at, like,

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:40.479
<v Speaker 1>oh you don't understand him that, you know, that kind

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of thing, that kind of which I have to I

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>got to compliment the brother because I've got lots of

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 1>family members, cousins and whatnot who who has real strong stutters.

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>And what he did with his filler word was he

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 1>was actually he made the mutable.

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean you could you could really hardly hear it.

0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:01.120
<v Speaker 1>When the people I know with strong stutters you can

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 1>hear the filler until the next full work comes through.

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 1>And the reason I wouldn't have picked it up, and

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:11.919
<v Speaker 1>I didn't pick it up initially when you first shared

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:15.319
<v Speaker 1>that CLIPB, I was inteding and then I you know,

0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:16.959
<v Speaker 1>I got your point that it was about a study.

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I didn't have no stutter through.

0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, I hear it, but this is the

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>mildest exact format.

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:26.319
<v Speaker 2>But you know I've heard.

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 1>But regardless of mild or severe, what a stupid thing

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 1>to do to go off on somebody because of what

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>clearly is not a nobody's choosing to elongate this sentence.

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:43.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the thing is a thing move onne.

0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I know you were about to say something I don't quite.

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 4>Remember, but I just think people are miserable because when

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 4>I saw that clip, even with I mean, I know,

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 4>I knew what the context was, but I was waiting

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 4>on the stutter for so long. All I saw was

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:59.720
<v Speaker 4>this young man super proud of himself and like doing

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 4>a gary thing already that is public speaking, like I

0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 4>just stopped sweating on stages like maybe a year ago,

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:09.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, like it's it's a muscle that everybody I

0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I think.

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:12.480
<v Speaker 4>I think I just I just be showing up places.

0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 4>I tell everybody. I live my life on Google calendar

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:15.719
<v Speaker 4>in by at a time, so I don't really have

0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 4>time to be stressed anymore. But no, like I just

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.719
<v Speaker 4>I was proud of him, like as an auntie, I

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh, this young man who is like going

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.879
<v Speaker 4>after his dreams and also having this conversation in this

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 4>pressure fieled environment. I'm not I'm not understanding why people

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 4>are choosing to exploit his what they perceive to be

0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 4>a weakness in this moment, and it's I think he

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 4>just speaks to a larger culture online of people being miserable,

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:42.759
<v Speaker 4>of people just wanting to dog pile or feel some

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 4>sort of community in the nay saying in the negativity

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 4>because it makes them feel good about themselves. And I

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 4>just hate that for people who are just in him

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 4>his hashtags, stop the negativity, who are just trying to

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.800
<v Speaker 4>be positive forces on this planet when negativity is trying

0:35:57.840 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 4>so hard to consume it.

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel that what my favorite part about it was

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:03.919
<v Speaker 1>when he threw to his dad like weight, like he's

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 1>in a sentence, but he's like, that's my favorite dad

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 1>favorite team, by the way, you know, parenthetically, just so

0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's my dad's favorite team.

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:14.000
<v Speaker 2>And I was born here, but I was raised.

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Here, and there's a lot of pride in him, and

0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm certain that there's great reason for him to feel

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the kind of pride that he does. But car is

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:22.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna wrap up our f y s A before we

0:36:22.840 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>move into our meth topics.

0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'm saying. I'm like, God, this is the last.

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:31.319
<v Speaker 5>First of all, Andrew, No, no, no, we're not well,

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 5>We're not gonna do Andrew's doing a great job, Andrew,

0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:33.799
<v Speaker 5>and this.

0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Is Andrew is your fault.

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all of us. But I love it. Nobody knows.

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Wrap it up.

0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:49.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna wrap it up because it's kind of a

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 5>natural segue to one of our topics we're gonna talk

0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 5>about in the long form. But Emyuel Macaron, you heard

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 5>how I rolled that c n R. That was nice,

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

0:36:59.480 --> 0:36:59.719
<v Speaker 7>I just.

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 5>Talked about how the effect that the Iranian war is

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 5>having on his nuclear start power. And my wife is

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 5>a conspiracy theorist in this type of stuff gets her going.

0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's listen to this.

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 13>I have ordered that we increase the number of nuclear

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 13>warheads on our arsenal in order to put pay to

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 13>any speculation. We will no longer communicate on the figures

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 13>regarding our nuclear arsenal, contrary to past practice. In order

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:41.799
<v Speaker 13>to be free, therefore, we must be feared, and in

0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:45.719
<v Speaker 13>order to be feared, we have to be powerful. This

0:37:46.160 --> 0:37:50.560
<v Speaker 13>increase in our arsenal reflects that approach. But in order

0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 13>to be powerful, and this is the second part of

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 13>my intervention, we have to be united. And I am

0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 13>going to speak about europe decision.

0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:02.560
<v Speaker 1>To powerful, you must be feared that's kind of scary,

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:04.719
<v Speaker 1>which is clearly not what he brings, right. I mean,

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:08.040
<v Speaker 1>he's basically saying Donald Trump has reset the world order,

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:12.799
<v Speaker 1>and by basically using American strength through the military going

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in the countries, extracting presidents, sitting presidents of sovereign nations,

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:22.400
<v Speaker 1>choosing overnight to just bomb another country kill their leaders,

0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:26.520
<v Speaker 1>he's ba I mean, I didn't believe a word. I

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:28.439
<v Speaker 1>don't think he is feeling this with his whole heart.

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I think what he's doing is saying, America, you have

0:38:31.120 --> 0:38:35.920
<v Speaker 1>reset the table. In order to now basically prevail for

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:38.440
<v Speaker 1>your for your position to prevail, you must have a

0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:42.680
<v Speaker 1>strong military and a sizeable nuclear armament so that you

0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:44.280
<v Speaker 1>can throw your shoulders when.

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 2>You have to.

0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:50.239
<v Speaker 1>Uh to basically accomplish diplomacy in the new world order

0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:52.759
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump, I think has you know, has ushered in.

0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 1>But Karie, the one thing I would just what's interesting

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:59.359
<v Speaker 1>about the timing of Macroom making this announcement this week

0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:06.319
<v Speaker 1>is that February fifth, twenty six, so just the other

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:15.000
<v Speaker 1>day the US in Russia nuclear disarmament agreement evaporated. It evaporated,

0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 1>so for the first time, there are no restrictions or

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:26.000
<v Speaker 1>controls on the amount of intercontinental nuclear weapons that can

0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:29.759
<v Speaker 1>be built by the superpowers of the world, the two

0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>greatest of which from a stockpile standpoint is the United

0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 1>States of America and the former USS are now.

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Russia, who were both.

0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Broke ground with disagreement by allotting fifteen hundred and fifty

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:50.320
<v Speaker 1>intercontinental nuclear weapons that each could hold.

0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:53.720
<v Speaker 2>There were also spot checks where.

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:56.240
<v Speaker 1>You could go when you could either inventory the US

0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:59.480
<v Speaker 1>or the US and reverse inventory Russia stockpot to make

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 1>sure that what they're reporting was consistent with what they had,

0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:07.799
<v Speaker 1>and any nuclear fossil material that was moved had to

0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:12.480
<v Speaker 1>be reported through the a Nuclear Atomic Agency, International Nuclear

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Atomic Agency.

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:15.320
<v Speaker 2>All of that goes away now.

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 1>And the point that maclron was making in a statement was,

0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, we're not going to share data

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>on how many nuclear warheads we build, how many we contain,

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:28.319
<v Speaker 1>or when we move them. That's a big deal, and

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:31.319
<v Speaker 1>they really out of shutter all of us that we're

0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:32.200
<v Speaker 1>going in reverse.

0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:33.480
<v Speaker 2>We're going in reverse.

0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Since World War Two, we've been moving in the direction

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:40.360
<v Speaker 1>of disarmament. And because of Donald Trump nearly single handedly

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:44.239
<v Speaker 1>changing the world order, even our allies are saying, we

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:45.959
<v Speaker 1>can't be safe, right.

0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 5>Well, I just want you to know fifty billion dollars

0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:53.160
<v Speaker 5>is being allocated to defense contractors to expedite billion with

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 5>the BEE to expedite the creation of new military weapons.

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 5>They're not including nuclears ever know of. And they are

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:05.719
<v Speaker 5>actually meeting at the White House this coming Friday. And

0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.080
<v Speaker 5>so just know that this is going to be a

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:11.319
<v Speaker 5>topic of concerning your tax dollars are going to be

0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:18.319
<v Speaker 5>going to building nuclear weapons, and respectfully or disrespectfully, I

0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:26.160
<v Speaker 5>don't expect Pete Hesketh, Christino, Cash, Fortel, Tulca, Gabbert or

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:31.840
<v Speaker 5>Donald Trump to be able to negotiate or Marca because he,

0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he just can't to be able to negotiate

0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 5>a nuclear treaty across the world.

0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>So, by the way, but car you're pointing around not negotiating.

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Putin said, let's extend one more year. He said this

0:41:46.400 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to Donald Trump. Donald Trump was excited about extending one

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:51.879
<v Speaker 1>more year to give them time to negotiate, but then

0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 1>decided he did not want to extend one more year.

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And so the news now coming out of China is

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:02.279
<v Speaker 1>that they are not going to enter any nuclear disarmament

0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:06.880
<v Speaker 1>agreement until they build at least as many nuclear weapons

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 1>as Russia and the United States have.

0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:11.800
<v Speaker 2>That's their position.

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Now, why does all this matter moving into our mejor topic,

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Because hey, you have a good Friday night. Well, now,

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:22.320
<v Speaker 1>under Donald Trump's America and World, you wake up Saturday

0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>morning realizing that American men and women have been forced

0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:31.440
<v Speaker 1>into a global war that was supposed to be between

0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:34.920
<v Speaker 1>two countries and one other, Iran, Israel and the United States.

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:41.720
<v Speaker 1>But because of their short sightedness, absent planning, and any

0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:45.040
<v Speaker 1>real ability to gain theory a war in today's day

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:49.319
<v Speaker 1>and age, what started as two countries combining together to

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:54.080
<v Speaker 1>go after Iran has now become Iran looping in seven

0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I think at last count eight now individually sovereign countries

0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:04.239
<v Speaker 1>into what could easily become World War three if not

0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 1>contained properly. I mean, I have to tell y'all went

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 1>half the day not even knowing we were at war,

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:11.719
<v Speaker 1>simply because my phones. I love them in the car

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 1>for the you know, on Friday night, and I didn't

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:16.040
<v Speaker 1>want to bring them the house and wasn't watching news.

0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 2>And then I got to them.

0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you've got to be kidding me, You've

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 1>got to be kidding me. And worse over, y'all, Americans

0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:28.799
<v Speaker 1>are in these regions of the world where bombs are

0:43:28.840 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 1>being dropped on civilian hotels, and while other countries are

0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:37.520
<v Speaker 1>moving their citizens out of harms way. The Secretary of

0:43:37.560 --> 0:43:41.320
<v Speaker 1>State of the United States and the President began yesterday,

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>began earlier this week saying that Americans were responsible for

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 1>their own safe ways out of harm's way. Other countries

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.720
<v Speaker 1>are chartering flights, and that was our initial response until

0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:56.719
<v Speaker 1>they got enough blowback that the Secretary of State had

0:43:56.760 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 1>to come out in a hurried press conference to basically say, Hey,

0:43:59.320 --> 0:44:01.040
<v Speaker 1>we're going to organize and plans and get y'all out

0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:05.839
<v Speaker 1>called us, let us know where you are.

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:09.640
<v Speaker 4>November is so far away, and it's not even though

0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:12.320
<v Speaker 4>guarantee that's true.

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't think November. I mean. The problem is that

0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I heard in one of the clips earlier, I.

0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 5>Can't remember who it was, but they said that we

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:24.319
<v Speaker 5>had six lives that were lost, four lives that were lost,

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 5>excuse me, and that number six at the time of

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 5>this show.

0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Now number is going to go up drastically.

0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 5>Even Cromer today even said he came out today and

0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 5>said that you're going to have to put boots on

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:40.239
<v Speaker 5>the ground. The fact is, Iran is going to We've

0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.880
<v Speaker 5>heard Blumenthal say it, We've heard Mark Warners say boots

0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 5>on the ground. The fact is, and I think one

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:49.120
<v Speaker 5>of the tasks the four of us have is being

0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:52.600
<v Speaker 5>able to show people how the Iranian war affects your

0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:56.480
<v Speaker 5>daily lives. And it's not just gas prices, it's the

0:44:56.520 --> 0:44:58.120
<v Speaker 5>market dropping on thousand points.

0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday.

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.919
<v Speaker 5>Ellen couldn't sleep night before last because one of her friends, Nicky.

0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Shout out to Nikki, who's from Maine. She is, She's

0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:12.520
<v Speaker 5>she's with my brother in law, Aaron. They have an

0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:15.240
<v Speaker 5>amazing little boy king. But she got a text message

0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 5>from her best friend that he's going to Iran or

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:21.479
<v Speaker 5>close to it. You know, I've been working with Don

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:27.200
<v Speaker 5>Staley to we got three young ladies who played basketball

0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:30.040
<v Speaker 5>for the University of South Carolina who are playing professionally

0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:33.839
<v Speaker 5>in the Middle East, who you have to get home.

0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:38.440
<v Speaker 5>Shout out to Tiffany Freeman who's stuck over there in

0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:41.320
<v Speaker 5>the UAE, who's trying to get home with her three cats.

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.239
<v Speaker 5>You know, you have individuals and these are just the

0:45:44.239 --> 0:45:46.160
<v Speaker 5>people that I know that they've reached out to me

0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:48.799
<v Speaker 5>to try to help put them in touch because there

0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:51.480
<v Speaker 5>is no plan. Right you're trying to get people to Cyprus,

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:53.040
<v Speaker 5>you're trying to get people to Egypt. You're trying to

0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 5>get people to where you can get away out where

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:58.040
<v Speaker 5>there's only one flight out every morning. And to to

0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:03.480
<v Speaker 5>watch Mike Huckabee. I can't curse as much as I

0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 5>used to, but to Mike, to watch Mike Huckabee flail

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:10.080
<v Speaker 5>as much as he's been flailing, to send out, to

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:14.800
<v Speaker 5>send out a notice from the embassy in Jerusalem saying

0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:17.799
<v Speaker 5>that you would have pretty much Americans are on their

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:21.520
<v Speaker 5>own while you watch Alex Berkowitz. I believe that's his

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:21.960
<v Speaker 5>last name.

0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:24.200
<v Speaker 5>I believe you know he's the one who organized the

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:25.759
<v Speaker 5>Nicki Minajas of the World, et cetera.

0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:27.120
<v Speaker 2>He's the influencer coordinator.

0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:28.920
<v Speaker 5>How he was stuck over there able to get a

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:32.839
<v Speaker 5>charter plane out, or how other countries Serbia is able

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:35.719
<v Speaker 5>to organize private planes out and we're stuck here trying

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 5>to get Americans out. I just find it to be

0:46:39.160 --> 0:46:44.919
<v Speaker 5>incompetence from the top down. And Iran is fighting a war.

0:46:45.080 --> 0:46:48.640
<v Speaker 5>First of all, the Irunian regime is awful. Nobody's going

0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 5>to shed a tear over there over their leadership dying

0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 5>or being taken out. No one should, No one is.

0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:56.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, they've been oppressive for a long period of time.

0:46:56.520 --> 0:46:58.880
<v Speaker 5>The Persian people are amazing people. They deserve to live

0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:01.640
<v Speaker 5>under freedom. But you should walk into this with the plan.

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:04.880
<v Speaker 5>You should actually go to Congress and get you know, approval.

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:07.600
<v Speaker 5>We should know how we're going to get out. And

0:47:09.360 --> 0:47:11.960
<v Speaker 5>they have done what they accused Hillary Clinton doing with

0:47:12.040 --> 0:47:15.920
<v Speaker 5>embassies a thousand times over. They've done what they accused

0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:21.920
<v Speaker 5>Joe bid enough when you talk about the Afghanistan withdraw

0:47:22.120 --> 0:47:25.520
<v Speaker 5>a thousand times over. And this is what happens when

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 5>you have your premier real estate developers run in the country.

0:47:28.760 --> 0:47:31.720
<v Speaker 6>I want to toss to there's a clip of Jonathan

0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 6>Carl talking about Americans trying to get out of the area.

0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:37.480
<v Speaker 6>So I want to I want to roll that clip,

0:47:37.480 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 6>and then I want us to call the number to

0:47:39.600 --> 0:47:42.800
<v Speaker 6>see what happens when people call this particular number.

0:47:44.760 --> 0:47:48.960
<v Speaker 14>Right, So, Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged news organizations

0:47:49.120 --> 0:47:53.040
<v Speaker 14>to put the twenty four to seven State Department emergency

0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:55.920
<v Speaker 14>line out so that Americans who are stuck in the

0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:58.680
<v Speaker 14>Middle East can help get help getting out of the region,

0:47:58.880 --> 0:48:00.960
<v Speaker 14>register their names and not but listen to what happens

0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:01.879
<v Speaker 14>when you dial the number.

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Please do not rely on.

0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:07.080
<v Speaker 7>The US government for assisted departure or evacuation. At this time,

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:12.560
<v Speaker 7>there are currently no United States evacuation points. Please continue

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:15.320
<v Speaker 7>to check the embassy's website for updated information.

0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:18.799
<v Speaker 14>So in the event, on the bottom line is if

0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:20.800
<v Speaker 14>you're looking for help, you're stuck in the Middle East

0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 14>and you can't evacuate, there's no help yet from the

0:48:23.560 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 14>United States government, you can call that number. You can

0:48:26.080 --> 0:48:27.880
<v Speaker 14>go through the website, you can register your name so

0:48:27.920 --> 0:48:30.640
<v Speaker 14>you might get updates later. But the number that the

0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:33.399
<v Speaker 14>Secretary of State gave out, what it does for you

0:48:33.840 --> 0:48:36.279
<v Speaker 14>is it tells you right now that there is no

0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:39.239
<v Speaker 14>help from the United States government in getting out of

0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:39.920
<v Speaker 14>the Middle East.

0:48:40.640 --> 0:48:43.000
<v Speaker 6>So I wanted to play that clip, and then I

0:48:43.040 --> 0:48:46.520
<v Speaker 6>want to see if the United States government has somehow

0:48:47.080 --> 0:48:52.120
<v Speaker 6>found itself equipped and competent today, because that was on Tuesday,

0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:55.279
<v Speaker 6>So maybe we record our program on Wednesday. Maybe within

0:48:55.320 --> 0:48:57.319
<v Speaker 6>the last twenty four hours it's been resolved. Let's see

0:48:57.320 --> 0:48:59.439
<v Speaker 6>what happens when you dial two zero two is the number.

0:48:59.440 --> 0:49:03.319
<v Speaker 6>Two zero two five zero one four four four four.

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Let's call Paully.

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad updated, that is progress. I'm glad you day

0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:01.680
<v Speaker 1>real time. They but you know what that should have

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:05.839
<v Speaker 1>been right yesterday. That's because I was watching when they

0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:08.239
<v Speaker 1>When he came out, he asked the media, will you

0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:11.359
<v Speaker 1>call please run this number now, and all the and

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:14.879
<v Speaker 1>the television network stations and the cable put it up.

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:16.560
<v Speaker 2>They put it up on the screen and.

0:50:16.520 --> 0:50:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Said, Americans, wherever you are, we can Yeah, wherever you are,

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you're listening, please call this number now.

0:50:23.800 --> 0:50:26.880
<v Speaker 2>But but again that was the American DA.

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:30.440
<v Speaker 6>Weight on whold because we don't want to clog the lines, right.

0:50:31.080 --> 0:50:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Course, But but consider this, you don't know what happened

0:50:33.640 --> 0:50:34.240
<v Speaker 3>to the president.

0:50:35.239 --> 0:50:39.560
<v Speaker 1>The president sent us into war on Saturday. And when

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:42.560
<v Speaker 1>they were asked about the plans to help Americans get

0:50:42.560 --> 0:50:45.719
<v Speaker 1>out of harm's way, that initial position of the government

0:50:46.280 --> 0:50:49.800
<v Speaker 1>was that the US government was not facilitating travel for

0:50:49.920 --> 0:50:53.520
<v Speaker 1>American citizens out of the danger zones. That was their

0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:57.919
<v Speaker 1>initial position. Guess whose initial positions weren't that every other

0:50:58.000 --> 0:51:01.520
<v Speaker 1>nation in the world, every who had no heads up

0:51:02.280 --> 0:51:05.440
<v Speaker 1>that we were dropping bombs in their backyard, no heads up,

0:51:05.600 --> 0:51:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But somehow they were able to prioritize getting their citizens

0:51:09.120 --> 0:51:12.920
<v Speaker 1>out when our very own goddamn government, who knew they

0:51:12.960 --> 0:51:16.360
<v Speaker 1>were going to drop bombs and listening to Benjaminett and Yahoo,

0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:20.320
<v Speaker 1>they apparently knew for months that they planned on dropping bombs,

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 1>but had no condition to get Americans safely out of

0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:26.040
<v Speaker 1>harm's way.

0:51:26.360 --> 0:51:26.760
<v Speaker 2>None.

0:51:27.360 --> 0:51:32.000
<v Speaker 1>It was the pressure of US senators and the American

0:51:32.040 --> 0:51:34.240
<v Speaker 1>people calling them basically saying.

0:51:34.120 --> 0:51:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Have you lost your mind?

0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you?

0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Are you? Have you? Are you crazy? You're not moving

0:51:38.840 --> 0:51:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Americans out of there.

0:51:40.560 --> 0:51:43.680
<v Speaker 1>So just consider that, y'all, that they never had a

0:51:43.719 --> 0:51:48.319
<v Speaker 1>plan outside of dropping bombs to get you out of

0:51:48.360 --> 0:51:51.840
<v Speaker 1>harm's way, right, And there's no better indication of what

0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:56.760
<v Speaker 1>this administration is than that example, that unfortunate, truthful example

0:51:57.000 --> 0:51:59.040
<v Speaker 1>that they never planned to get you out of harms way.

0:52:00.040 --> 0:52:03.360
<v Speaker 4>Don't have And I'm running out of words, derogatory words

0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:06.160
<v Speaker 4>for this administration, but just to your point, I just

0:52:06.200 --> 0:52:08.719
<v Speaker 4>want to reiterate they knew for a long time that

0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:11.680
<v Speaker 4>they were going to drop these bombs. The initial response

0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:15.480
<v Speaker 4>that recorded line said you find your own way out

0:52:15.480 --> 0:52:18.480
<v Speaker 4>of there, and they did not change it until they

0:52:18.520 --> 0:52:22.160
<v Speaker 4>got backlash. Did you not expect to get backlash? Or

0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:26.080
<v Speaker 4>were you like? What is the thought process there? If

0:52:26.120 --> 0:52:28.440
<v Speaker 4>you were never going to care? What why does the

0:52:28.440 --> 0:52:30.759
<v Speaker 4>backlash make you switch? Like if you you at least

0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:32.120
<v Speaker 4>had a plan to say, no, we're not going to

0:52:32.200 --> 0:52:33.799
<v Speaker 4>help you, that's at least what you had a plan

0:52:33.880 --> 0:52:34.280
<v Speaker 4>to say.

0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you it was Republican senators telling them

0:52:40.080 --> 0:52:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to get this right, and you're

0:52:41.520 --> 0:52:43.920
<v Speaker 1>going to get it right right now. That's what he

0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:46.600
<v Speaker 1>got the heat of them. But for Marco Rubio, there's

0:52:46.640 --> 0:52:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Secretarial State who also happens to be the National Security

0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:55.680
<v Speaker 1>advisor to the president, so he's carrying a million jobs,

0:52:56.239 --> 0:52:58.960
<v Speaker 1>but didn't consider what it meant to keep Americans safe.

0:52:59.080 --> 0:52:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I just did.

0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:03.200
<v Speaker 1>What's insane about this is when I said game that

0:53:03.320 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a war plan, they don't have game

0:53:05.080 --> 0:53:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that they can't game this out, is that we haven't

0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:11.040
<v Speaker 1>had diplomatic relations with this country.

0:53:11.760 --> 0:53:13.840
<v Speaker 2>And you think that you saw.

0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Some protests erupting in the middle of the nation, a

0:53:18.120 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>huge pushback to the Ayatola hamone that all of a

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:25.399
<v Speaker 1>sudden they were going to welcome Americans with open arms

0:53:25.400 --> 0:53:28.239
<v Speaker 1>and then have the have what it takes to overthrow

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a well armed revolutionary guard. Guess what happened when then

0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:35.880
<v Speaker 1>people walked out in the streets celebrating. The revolutionary guard

0:53:36.080 --> 0:53:40.399
<v Speaker 1>had already backed up themselves threefold on the streets, and

0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:43.760
<v Speaker 1>quickly those folks were ushered back into their apartments, houses,

0:53:43.760 --> 0:53:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and neighborhoods.

0:53:45.760 --> 0:53:46.759
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't work that way.

0:53:46.800 --> 0:53:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and intelligence about a place would have told

0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you that.

0:53:51.880 --> 0:53:53.799
<v Speaker 4>And I never want to hear again that women are

0:53:53.800 --> 0:53:57.319
<v Speaker 4>not fit to lead because their emotions run everything. This

0:53:57.400 --> 0:54:00.600
<v Speaker 4>is the equivalent of an undisciplined and uncompassionate child walking

0:54:00.560 --> 0:54:01.880
<v Speaker 4>into a store in touch and shit.

0:54:01.840 --> 0:54:04.759
<v Speaker 3>And knocking shit over, oh blown, saying that's all.

0:54:05.800 --> 0:54:09.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, I just want to read this just

0:54:09.520 --> 0:54:12.919
<v Speaker 5>real quick. The ambassador, former ambassador Algeria and Greece, name

0:54:12.960 --> 0:54:15.399
<v Speaker 5>is David Pierce, and what he said was, when there's

0:54:15.480 --> 0:54:19.000
<v Speaker 5>even a chance of impending military conflicts, you plan to

0:54:19.080 --> 0:54:23.000
<v Speaker 5>move non essential personnel and families out. This administration did

0:54:23.040 --> 0:54:25.600
<v Speaker 5>nothing of the kind. It bragged it had been planning

0:54:25.600 --> 0:54:28.279
<v Speaker 5>these operations for months, and yet it made no move

0:54:28.440 --> 0:54:32.040
<v Speaker 5>to provide for authorized or voluntary the departure for the

0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:35.600
<v Speaker 5>military and diplomatic personnel in the region, or recommending the

0:54:35.640 --> 0:54:39.760
<v Speaker 5>same for American businesses, students, and tourists until two days

0:54:39.880 --> 0:54:44.719
<v Speaker 5>in two combat operations. He surmised by saying, this is

0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:48.960
<v Speaker 5>a disgrace. Somebody what we're talking about, And the only

0:54:49.000 --> 0:54:51.480
<v Speaker 5>reason I wanted to quote somebody is people will always say, well,

0:54:51.480 --> 0:54:53.640
<v Speaker 5>what should the plan be? You know what, you guys

0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:56.520
<v Speaker 5>are up here just postulating and opining what should the

0:54:56.560 --> 0:54:59.480
<v Speaker 5>plan be. And that is a diplomat telling you that

0:54:59.840 --> 0:55:02.600
<v Speaker 5>they he ain't do nothing about what the plan should be.

0:55:02.960 --> 0:55:05.320
<v Speaker 5>And I'm glad we're here to talk about it. But

0:55:05.360 --> 0:55:07.120
<v Speaker 5>I think elections have consequences.

0:55:07.640 --> 0:55:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of elections with consequences, Bacary, we had elections this week.

0:55:14.040 --> 0:55:18.480
<v Speaker 1>The primary season, y'all for the twenty twenty six election

0:55:18.640 --> 0:55:24.120
<v Speaker 1>cycle began this week in the states of Arkansas, North Carolina.

0:55:24.560 --> 0:55:26.880
<v Speaker 2>In Texas, just to name a few.

0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:32.720
<v Speaker 1>And there was some I don't know, y'all, surprises, maybe

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:37.960
<v Speaker 1>some letdowns in some places, potentially some optimism and some

0:55:38.080 --> 0:55:43.719
<v Speaker 1>others I'm curious to know as we observed election night

0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and North Carolina with is it Roy Cooper who got

0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the nomination for the depocratic nomination for the US Senate? Obviously,

0:55:56.760 --> 0:55:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually I wasn't pulling for anybody in Arkansas, Bacary,

0:55:59.560 --> 0:56:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Yester year, neighbor.

0:56:00.400 --> 0:56:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if if.

0:56:02.480 --> 0:56:07.200
<v Speaker 5>No Arkansas, Arkansas, Arkansas had a let me just say

0:56:07.360 --> 0:56:10.200
<v Speaker 5>history was made in Arkansas. And I know we don't

0:56:10.239 --> 0:56:13.400
<v Speaker 5>look at Little Rock and those type of things often.

0:56:13.560 --> 0:56:18.080
<v Speaker 5>But Bobby Forrest, who looks like his name is Bobby Farrest,

0:56:18.160 --> 0:56:20.160
<v Speaker 5>Bobby Farrest man, Bobby.

0:56:20.200 --> 0:56:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Bobby came in with the braves and everything else. I

0:56:22.160 --> 0:56:23.160
<v Speaker 2>robbed with Bobby Farrest.

0:56:23.880 --> 0:56:27.160
<v Speaker 5>But he won against an incumbent as the prosecuting attorney

0:56:28.360 --> 0:56:31.880
<v Speaker 5>for the county for the county, and he beat and

0:56:32.000 --> 0:56:36.880
<v Speaker 5>battled incumbent Will Jones for the district attorney in Pulaski County.

0:56:36.920 --> 0:56:40.720
<v Speaker 5>He took fifty three percent of the sixty thousand votes passed.

0:56:40.719 --> 0:56:42.520
<v Speaker 5>For people that want to know what that is, that's

0:56:42.600 --> 0:56:46.919
<v Speaker 5>Little Rock. Yeah, and so that's that is history being

0:56:47.000 --> 0:56:49.760
<v Speaker 5>made in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shout out to Frank Scott.

0:56:50.160 --> 0:56:52.600
<v Speaker 5>They shout out to Bobby for winning that race.

0:56:57.760 --> 0:56:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Who cares about truth.

0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:03.920
<v Speaker 1>In the last morning, well some more history was made

0:57:04.000 --> 0:57:08.520
<v Speaker 1>in in UH in the state of Texas, as in

0:57:08.600 --> 0:57:13.319
<v Speaker 1>a very last minute effort, chaos broke out and one

0:57:13.360 --> 0:57:18.600
<v Speaker 1>of the home districts of one of the leading candidates

0:57:18.640 --> 0:57:20.840
<v Speaker 1>for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate.

0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Of course, that's none other than.

0:57:25.680 --> 0:57:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Rockett.

0:57:26.480 --> 0:57:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like our congressman, women, I like, I'm claiming her

0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:31.480
<v Speaker 1>as my congresswoman, but she's Texas's UH.

0:57:31.360 --> 0:57:33.080
<v Speaker 2>And Dallas is her home district.

0:57:33.720 --> 0:57:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Jasmine Crockett a very capable and unapologetic leader within the party,

0:57:40.800 --> 0:57:43.840
<v Speaker 1>but just a leader and a good person period. Was

0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:48.800
<v Speaker 1>against represented tall Rico, state state Representative tul Rico there

0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:52.760
<v Speaker 1>in in in Texas. And apparently, and I don't know

0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:54.760
<v Speaker 1>if y'all were able to follow this on election night,

0:57:54.840 --> 0:57:59.959
<v Speaker 1>but but the normal order of events and the state

0:58:00.040 --> 0:58:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of Texas during primaries and Florida's not like this, so

0:58:03.680 --> 0:58:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't really familiar with this structure, but that basically

0:58:06.800 --> 0:58:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the parties can agree that basically any voter Republican or

0:58:10.560 --> 0:58:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Democrat can go to a supersite rather than to their

0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:19.160
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood polling precinct and cast a vote consistent with what

0:58:19.240 --> 0:58:24.480
<v Speaker 1>their respective precinct ballots would have looked like. And a

0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:27.720
<v Speaker 1>last ditch effort, Republicans decided that they were not going

0:58:27.760 --> 0:58:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to consent to the super sites, as had been the

0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:35.560
<v Speaker 1>customary practice for I heard people interview say, for as

0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:38.800
<v Speaker 1>long as they can remember being right, so this is

0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:41.360
<v Speaker 1>what they've done for as long as they can remember voting.

0:58:43.240 --> 0:58:44.200
<v Speaker 2>And in this.

0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Particular race, a race where all of the legislative seats

0:58:48.160 --> 0:58:53.120
<v Speaker 1>in congressional seats in the United States or in this case, Texas's.

0:58:52.760 --> 0:58:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Congressional delegation all those seats were up in all of them.

0:58:56.320 --> 0:58:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Many of them, particularly in black communities, have been redistricted,

0:58:59.120 --> 0:59:01.520
<v Speaker 1>which means people have for different people, likely.

0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Than they voted the last time.

0:59:03.280 --> 0:59:06.480
<v Speaker 1>And Angela correct me from home, but the Secretary of

0:59:06.480 --> 0:59:08.880
<v Speaker 1>State decided that they were not going to update the

0:59:08.920 --> 0:59:12.320
<v Speaker 1>state's website that gives people the information on where it

0:59:12.360 --> 0:59:14.560
<v Speaker 1>is that they can go and vote. It just shook

0:59:14.600 --> 0:59:17.400
<v Speaker 1>me as very strange to come so late into the

0:59:17.480 --> 0:59:20.880
<v Speaker 1>voting process and into the counting process that this whole

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:25.040
<v Speaker 1>thing erupted with Kim Paxton, a candidate for the US

0:59:25.120 --> 0:59:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Senate on the Republican side, out of last minute effort

0:59:29.120 --> 0:59:36.680
<v Speaker 1>weighing in to basically eliminate the cushion of additional hours

0:59:36.680 --> 0:59:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that Democrats were given to go and vote because of

0:59:38.640 --> 0:59:39.960
<v Speaker 1>this chaos that they created.

0:59:40.080 --> 0:59:43.520
<v Speaker 6>A court order suggested that the post they opened longer

0:59:43.560 --> 0:59:45.600
<v Speaker 6>because of all of the chaos, people being told to

0:59:45.640 --> 0:59:48.320
<v Speaker 6>go to one precinct only to be redirected to another.

0:59:48.760 --> 0:59:51.400
<v Speaker 6>And Kim Paxton, obviously as a direct conflict of interest

0:59:51.400 --> 0:59:54.120
<v Speaker 6>being on the ballot, but the Supreme Court cited with

0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:57.600
<v Speaker 6>Kim Paxton throwing things into full disarray. There's a statement

0:59:58.280 --> 1:00:03.400
<v Speaker 6>that was put out by Jasmine Crockett. Christopher Boozy tweeted

1:00:03.720 --> 1:00:06.160
<v Speaker 6>he said, the voter suppression happening in Dallas County, I

1:00:06.200 --> 1:00:09.840
<v Speaker 6>believe we have that statement. The voter suppression happening in

1:00:09.880 --> 1:00:13.000
<v Speaker 6>Dallas County is a barrant. The Crockett campaign has put

1:00:13.000 --> 1:00:14.400
<v Speaker 6>out a statement, and I have yet to see a

1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.080
<v Speaker 6>statement from Tylerico denouncing what we are witnessing.

1:00:17.400 --> 1:00:18.880
<v Speaker 3>His silence speaks volumes.

1:00:19.680 --> 1:00:24.400
<v Speaker 6>Included here was Jasmin Crockett statement that talks about the

1:00:24.440 --> 1:00:27.880
<v Speaker 6>ways in which the GOP was kind of playing and

1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:31.120
<v Speaker 6>I think that folks saw this a ays oh see,

1:00:31.240 --> 1:00:34.200
<v Speaker 6>Democrats are now saying that we do need to save Act. No,

1:00:34.280 --> 1:00:36.720
<v Speaker 6>we don't, but what we do need is for racism

1:00:36.760 --> 1:00:40.240
<v Speaker 6>to die in the South and everywhere else. I also

1:00:40.320 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 6>wanted to flag a couple of things about this race,

1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:45.120
<v Speaker 6>and then I'll just yield the floor to everybody else

1:00:45.160 --> 1:00:49.960
<v Speaker 6>to weigh in. There was a post put up by

1:00:50.040 --> 1:00:55.480
<v Speaker 6>Ruters and Routers posts on x Let's pull that says

1:00:55.760 --> 1:01:00.680
<v Speaker 6>Republican Jasmine Crockett said confusion during the dow was primary

1:01:00.760 --> 1:01:04.840
<v Speaker 6>led to voter disenfranchisement, with polls initially extended by court

1:01:04.920 --> 1:01:07.400
<v Speaker 6>order but later limited by the Supreme Court as we

1:01:07.400 --> 1:01:11.000
<v Speaker 6>were just discussing. What's interesting to me here is Ruters

1:01:11.400 --> 1:01:13.000
<v Speaker 6>getting Jasmin Crocketts.

1:01:13.240 --> 1:01:14.040
<v Speaker 3>This is Ruters.

1:01:14.080 --> 1:01:19.680
<v Speaker 6>This isn't like random Joe blow blog posted Republican Jasmin Crockett.

1:01:19.760 --> 1:01:22.440
<v Speaker 6>Jasmincrockett is obviously running in the Democratic was running in

1:01:22.480 --> 1:01:25.480
<v Speaker 6>the Democratic primary. The next thing I wanted to pull

1:01:26.160 --> 1:01:28.400
<v Speaker 6>is this, because I think this is where we are now.

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:32.919
<v Speaker 6>Before the race was even called last night, y'all, there

1:01:33.000 --> 1:01:37.160
<v Speaker 6>were people who were James Talerico supporters urging everyone to

1:01:37.280 --> 1:01:44.640
<v Speaker 6>get behind James Tolerco. The Progressive chair in Congress said

1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:47.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, he was a generational leader and it's time

1:01:47.320 --> 1:01:51.240
<v Speaker 6>to get behind him. But this particular tweet stood out

1:01:51.280 --> 1:01:56.040
<v Speaker 6>to me because Dan Green says, again before the races

1:01:56.120 --> 1:02:00.200
<v Speaker 6>even called for James Tolerco, quote mark my words. If

1:02:00.320 --> 1:02:04.640
<v Speaker 6>James Tolerico does the unthinkable and somehow flips Texas blue again,

1:02:04.680 --> 1:02:07.520
<v Speaker 6>he went out the primary. Yet, y'all, he will be

1:02:07.600 --> 1:02:12.560
<v Speaker 6>a leading contender for the Democratic nomination for president in

1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:16.800
<v Speaker 6>twenty twenty eight. Why am I bringing this up? I

1:02:16.840 --> 1:02:20.360
<v Speaker 6>don't know about y'all. Bacari and Andrew y'all have won statewide.

1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:25.560
<v Speaker 6>Andrew I ran, I ran.

1:02:26.160 --> 1:02:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, So let me cook, my g let me cook.

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:33.880
<v Speaker 6>Yes, you won state wide in a primary, you ran

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:36.520
<v Speaker 6>state wide and in general Andrew as I was getting

1:02:36.560 --> 1:02:41.120
<v Speaker 6>ready to say, you were the closest contender to a

1:02:41.200 --> 1:02:43.760
<v Speaker 6>Democratic governor that Florida's had in a.

1:02:43.800 --> 1:02:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Long, long, long, long long time.

1:02:47.400 --> 1:02:50.480
<v Speaker 6>And I'm just saying this because I'm triggered watching this.

1:02:50.600 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 6>I can't imagine how you all are feeling, knowing how

1:02:53.760 --> 1:02:57.880
<v Speaker 6>black people have to show up to even be considered

1:02:58.360 --> 1:03:00.640
<v Speaker 6>qualified to run statewide.

1:03:01.040 --> 1:03:03.200
<v Speaker 3>So I just was very triggered last night.

1:03:03.240 --> 1:03:04.840
<v Speaker 6>There were a lot of people saying a lot of

1:03:04.920 --> 1:03:09.160
<v Speaker 6>mean things about Jasmine. You know, people going back into

1:03:09.280 --> 1:03:11.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm not even gonna name the commentator saying where's the

1:03:11.640 --> 1:03:17.160
<v Speaker 6>ghetto speak now? The racism, the things they said about her.

1:03:17.240 --> 1:03:21.960
<v Speaker 6>There are fair critiques to be raised about Jasmine's operation,

1:03:22.640 --> 1:03:25.560
<v Speaker 6>a Jasmine's strategy on whether or not that would advance

1:03:25.840 --> 1:03:29.960
<v Speaker 6>her to a general election or not. Fine, but the

1:03:30.160 --> 1:03:34.120
<v Speaker 6>ad hominem attacks the way that she speaks, the way

1:03:34.160 --> 1:03:36.960
<v Speaker 6>that she dresses, the way that she wears her hair,

1:03:38.120 --> 1:03:41.520
<v Speaker 6>the policies that she implements. Whether or not it is

1:03:41.600 --> 1:03:44.200
<v Speaker 6>fair to say that there is a tremendous amount of

1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:47.720
<v Speaker 6>light between her position and James Talerco's position on Israel.

1:03:48.040 --> 1:03:51.920
<v Speaker 6>All of that, to me, policy conversations are fair, but

1:03:52.040 --> 1:03:54.480
<v Speaker 6>the way in which they are held and the way

1:03:54.520 --> 1:03:57.320
<v Speaker 6>in which they lie about Jasmine's policy positions, it's.

1:03:57.240 --> 1:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>A whole other thing. It's a whole other thing.

1:03:59.880 --> 1:04:01.560
<v Speaker 6>I really would love I want to hear from all

1:04:01.560 --> 1:04:03.800
<v Speaker 6>of you, But I thought of you all immediately because

1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:06.000
<v Speaker 6>I was so triggered. I was like, I can't imagine

1:04:06.000 --> 1:04:07.240
<v Speaker 6>how the guys feel about this.

1:04:07.240 --> 1:04:11.959
<v Speaker 3>This is nuts. And well that was actually name checked

1:04:12.000 --> 1:04:13.160
<v Speaker 3>and brought into the conversation.

1:04:13.200 --> 1:04:14.480
<v Speaker 6>I know we're going to focus on more of that

1:04:14.520 --> 1:04:16.520
<v Speaker 6>in our mini pot but this room for all of

1:04:16.560 --> 1:04:17.720
<v Speaker 6>y'all at this table.

1:04:18.520 --> 1:04:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I.

1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:24.920
<v Speaker 5>That that that tweet didn't bother me because there, I

1:04:24.960 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 5>think that the question is still outstanding of whether or

1:04:29.640 --> 1:04:35.640
<v Speaker 5>not James Tillarica is a generational talent or he's Beto

1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:38.200
<v Speaker 5>oroor and that question.

1:04:38.040 --> 1:04:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Or not even Beto.

1:04:39.360 --> 1:04:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean that could be that, that could be the answer.

1:04:40.960 --> 1:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>That could be it as well.

1:04:41.880 --> 1:04:44.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean I also think that Texas is and always

1:04:44.840 --> 1:04:48.320
<v Speaker 5>has been Fool's goal, and I think that this falls

1:04:48.320 --> 1:04:51.200
<v Speaker 5>into that same category and instead of spending money in Ohio,

1:04:51.240 --> 1:04:52.960
<v Speaker 5>where we actually have a better chance of winning. With

1:04:53.640 --> 1:04:57.440
<v Speaker 5>shared uh, we are going to spend hundreds of millions

1:04:57.440 --> 1:04:59.720
<v Speaker 5>of dollars in Texas, and we would have done that

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:02.920
<v Speaker 5>with or without. I think that everything Angela said should

1:05:02.920 --> 1:05:05.680
<v Speaker 5>be stamped as valid and one hundred percent true. In

1:05:05.720 --> 1:05:08.120
<v Speaker 5>the way that Jasmine ran her race, in the way

1:05:08.160 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 5>that she was criticized unfairly, and the hoops that black

1:05:12.360 --> 1:05:15.400
<v Speaker 5>women in particular and black folk have to run through statewide,

1:05:17.280 --> 1:05:19.080
<v Speaker 5>I also think there needs to be space to say,

1:05:19.120 --> 1:05:22.760
<v Speaker 5>as a very critical and I'm glad I'm able to

1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:27.760
<v Speaker 5>say this today, she ran a very shitty campaign in comparison,

1:05:28.120 --> 1:05:33.560
<v Speaker 5>and when we talk about the mechanics of what a campaign,

1:05:33.960 --> 1:05:37.000
<v Speaker 5>mechanics of what a campaign should look like, and what

1:05:37.040 --> 1:05:39.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean by is what happened last night, if you

1:05:39.280 --> 1:05:41.560
<v Speaker 5>look at the numbers, is the same thing. And I

1:05:41.600 --> 1:05:43.520
<v Speaker 5>don't mean messaging, I don't mean who she is. I

1:05:43.520 --> 1:05:45.720
<v Speaker 5>mean I ran a shitty campaign for lieutenant governor of

1:05:45.760 --> 1:05:49.040
<v Speaker 5>things I should have done differently. But I do believe

1:05:49.280 --> 1:05:54.000
<v Speaker 5>that she got beat by extremely large margins in very

1:05:54.080 --> 1:05:59.160
<v Speaker 5>small counties, extremely large margins in very small counties. She

1:05:59.760 --> 1:06:03.120
<v Speaker 5>can her election day vote with early voting one of

1:06:03.160 --> 1:06:05.920
<v Speaker 5>the things. And I don't really know what happened, which

1:06:06.000 --> 1:06:08.000
<v Speaker 5>is the norm for Democrats now, which is the norm

1:06:08.000 --> 1:06:13.240
<v Speaker 5>for Democrats, but which means Andrew that I'm not sure

1:06:13.280 --> 1:06:16.240
<v Speaker 5>how the whole thing about who runs that. I saw

1:06:16.280 --> 1:06:19.560
<v Speaker 5>that kind of blurriness on the on social media. Who runs,

1:06:19.560 --> 1:06:21.960
<v Speaker 5>who's running this time, who's running that time? I didn't

1:06:21.960 --> 1:06:24.800
<v Speaker 5>necessarily understand all of that. Who got a chance to

1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:27.280
<v Speaker 5>There was a conversation about James running for this and

1:06:27.360 --> 1:06:29.440
<v Speaker 5>Jasmine running for this, and we were going to run

1:06:29.480 --> 1:06:29.680
<v Speaker 5>for this.

1:06:30.000 --> 1:06:31.959
<v Speaker 2>But that means you have to create a new voter base.

1:06:32.040 --> 1:06:35.600
<v Speaker 5>That means that you have to spend the energy party structure, infrastructure,

1:06:35.640 --> 1:06:39.640
<v Speaker 5>campaign structure to register new voters in places where otherwise

1:06:39.680 --> 1:06:44.280
<v Speaker 5>you offset that cannibalization. And what happened, what we saw

1:06:44.360 --> 1:06:48.640
<v Speaker 5>last night is that the voter suppression is real, right,

1:06:49.000 --> 1:06:52.480
<v Speaker 5>the voter intimidation is real, the racism is real.

1:06:53.040 --> 1:06:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:06:53.360 --> 1:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>But also but also she lost by five points, so.

1:06:59.000 --> 1:07:00.000
<v Speaker 3>He clears million vote.

1:07:00.360 --> 1:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he cleared a million votes.

1:07:01.800 --> 1:07:05.200
<v Speaker 5>So we're not talking about we're not talking We have

1:07:05.280 --> 1:07:08.000
<v Speaker 5>to have space for this. In my opinion, we have

1:07:08.120 --> 1:07:10.280
<v Speaker 5>to have space for the fact that the voter suppression

1:07:10.600 --> 1:07:14.920
<v Speaker 5>and the racism is real. We have to have conversations

1:07:15.000 --> 1:07:18.320
<v Speaker 5>legitimately about campaign tactics and the way that we tramp,

1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:22.680
<v Speaker 5>that way that we train campaign strategists, the way that

1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:25.200
<v Speaker 5>we campaign, the way that we train our campaigns, the

1:07:25.240 --> 1:07:26.760
<v Speaker 5>way that we change our campaigns.

1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:28.680
<v Speaker 2>We have to have space for all of that. And

1:07:28.720 --> 1:07:29.960
<v Speaker 2>we have to have space to be able to.

1:07:29.960 --> 1:07:32.560
<v Speaker 5>Call out the things that Jasmine went through that others

1:07:32.600 --> 1:07:35.200
<v Speaker 5>would not have to. So I think that there has

1:07:35.240 --> 1:07:36.960
<v Speaker 5>to be space for all three of those. And I

1:07:36.960 --> 1:07:38.720
<v Speaker 5>know people are going to be in the comments and say, well,

1:07:38.760 --> 1:07:40.880
<v Speaker 5>you called her campaign shitty, you not for black women.

1:07:40.880 --> 1:07:42.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, well, that's not the case at all. If

1:07:42.520 --> 1:07:44.280
<v Speaker 5>Jazz was here, I want to get a big hug.

1:07:44.840 --> 1:07:48.440
<v Speaker 5>I do want to let me just put a pin

1:07:48.480 --> 1:07:50.200
<v Speaker 5>on a real sick All I want to say is.

1:07:50.560 --> 1:07:52.959
<v Speaker 3>Ask you to go backwards, right, But I just wanted

1:07:53.040 --> 1:07:53.360
<v Speaker 3>you to.

1:07:53.880 --> 1:07:56.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm not as someone who has never ran for anything,

1:07:56.200 --> 1:07:57.720
<v Speaker 4>I just could you be a little bit more clear

1:07:57.760 --> 1:08:00.080
<v Speaker 4>about what made her campaign shitty?

1:07:59.400 --> 1:08:02.120
<v Speaker 5>Like so, I think I don't even know, if I

1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:04.680
<v Speaker 5>don't even think, I don't even think, it probably has

1:08:04.720 --> 1:08:08.080
<v Speaker 5>more to do with the infrastructure that's in place in

1:08:08.160 --> 1:08:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Texas that is replicated at a lot of places, say

1:08:11.560 --> 1:08:16.479
<v Speaker 5>for maybe Florida and certainly Georgia. And what Stacy Abrams

1:08:16.520 --> 1:08:21.040
<v Speaker 5>did for Georgia has people a little bit misconscrewed about

1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:24.599
<v Speaker 5>the way that this thing actually works, because Stacey spent

1:08:25.400 --> 1:08:29.240
<v Speaker 5>tens of millions of dollars going on not a precinct level,

1:08:29.560 --> 1:08:33.759
<v Speaker 5>but a sub precinct level in Georgia, in these counties

1:08:33.840 --> 1:08:38.200
<v Speaker 5>that black folk and Democrats had never gone to, registering voters,

1:08:38.240 --> 1:08:42.679
<v Speaker 5>building precinct chairs, getting them mobilized and activated. That way,

1:08:42.720 --> 1:08:46.320
<v Speaker 5>when a candidate came along, whether or not it's ass

1:08:46.400 --> 1:08:49.759
<v Speaker 5>Off or Warnock or whomever it is, they were able

1:08:49.840 --> 1:08:52.559
<v Speaker 5>to build on the infrastructure that was in place.

1:08:53.160 --> 1:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>And so my criticism of jazzmine.

1:08:55.760 --> 1:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama did the same thing, except he had to

1:08:57.880 --> 1:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>fast forward it because the.

1:09:01.040 --> 1:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Correct he did it and then and then he kind

1:09:02.880 --> 1:09:03.519
<v Speaker 2>of destroyed it later.

1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:06.840
<v Speaker 5>But that's a who whole other Yes, but that's.

1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>A whole other But that's a whole other thing. But

1:09:08.560 --> 1:09:11.280
<v Speaker 2>but my point is, theory is still the same. The

1:09:11.280 --> 1:09:11.800
<v Speaker 2>theory is.

1:09:11.720 --> 1:09:13.800
<v Speaker 5>Still the same, and so what Barack Obama did to

1:09:13.840 --> 1:09:16.960
<v Speaker 5>Andrew's point. What Stacey did, to my point is that

1:09:17.040 --> 1:09:20.719
<v Speaker 5>she built a whole new voter block. She educated those voters,

1:09:20.840 --> 1:09:24.280
<v Speaker 5>She gave them the tools necessary to mobilize their own environments.

1:09:24.680 --> 1:09:28.400
<v Speaker 5>And because Jasmine is the last one to run, I

1:09:28.479 --> 1:09:32.000
<v Speaker 5>attribute that to her campaign. Now, Jasmine may tell you

1:09:32.080 --> 1:09:35.440
<v Speaker 5>differently that this is a function of the Texas Democratic

1:09:35.479 --> 1:09:36.040
<v Speaker 5>Party of.

1:09:36.000 --> 1:09:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Course, of course, and it may be both or maybe

1:09:38.920 --> 1:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the other. I don't know that. It's definitely

1:09:41.880 --> 1:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>why parties exist. That's why parties exist, but I will

1:09:44.680 --> 1:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>tell you that. But candidates and outside entities have done

1:09:48.280 --> 1:09:50.960
<v Speaker 2>that before. Is my only point. And that's a lot

1:09:51.000 --> 1:09:51.439
<v Speaker 2>to ask.

1:09:51.680 --> 1:09:53.680
<v Speaker 5>And that's why I also prefaced in my camp and

1:09:53.760 --> 1:09:57.240
<v Speaker 5>my rant that I don't know what went into who's

1:09:57.320 --> 1:09:59.760
<v Speaker 5>running for what, how we're going to do this, because

1:09:59.800 --> 1:10:03.320
<v Speaker 5>I see that kind of percolating. But I think that, like,

1:10:03.479 --> 1:10:06.360
<v Speaker 5>I love Jasmine and I just really want to have

1:10:06.400 --> 1:10:09.320
<v Speaker 5>a conversation with people that take emotions out of everything,

1:10:09.600 --> 1:10:11.240
<v Speaker 5>and like, how do we campaign better?

1:10:11.520 --> 1:10:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Is my only point of this.

1:10:13.040 --> 1:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, by the way, you don't have to annotate every

1:10:16.080 --> 1:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>coming with how you love her, because I think we're

1:10:18.360 --> 1:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a tour and we should be able.

1:10:19.760 --> 1:10:22.880
<v Speaker 2>To say for sure, and that's funny to understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1:10:22.960 --> 1:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we should be able to call a thing

1:10:24.240 --> 1:10:24.519
<v Speaker 2>a thing.

1:10:24.560 --> 1:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>The truth is is that that kind of infrastructure level

1:10:26.920 --> 1:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>building is what parties exist for now. If Texas is

1:10:30.240 --> 1:10:33.800
<v Speaker 1>anything like Florida, I know that struggle very well, that

1:10:33.800 --> 1:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that isn't what parties have been able to afford and

1:10:36.880 --> 1:10:41.599
<v Speaker 1>off cycles. And so when candidates come in to six

1:10:41.680 --> 1:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>like hours, and I would say Texas is similar, you

1:10:44.960 --> 1:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>have to be prepared to not just run your own campaign,

1:10:48.640 --> 1:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>but you've got to build your own voters on the

1:10:51.640 --> 1:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>way to running your own campaign. And given the point

1:10:55.439 --> 1:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>at which she decided to enter this race, it could

1:10:58.280 --> 1:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>have been a far gone conclusion that she was not

1:11:00.200 --> 1:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>going to have the time or resources necessary to build

1:11:05.040 --> 1:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the back end infrastructure that would allow her to emerge.

1:11:10.040 --> 1:11:11.599
<v Speaker 2>The ultimate winner in the race.

1:11:11.960 --> 1:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Tylerico didn't necessarily need that because the default registration my

1:11:17.160 --> 1:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>guess is amongst white, amongst the Texas Democrats is that.

1:11:21.840 --> 1:11:23.599
<v Speaker 2>They probably got a lot of liberal whites.

1:11:24.320 --> 1:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>There are is a is a good strong black and

1:11:26.840 --> 1:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>probably black female constituency, and then they have the Latinos

1:11:31.400 --> 1:11:35.639
<v Speaker 1>in South Texas and along the border that was very,

1:11:35.840 --> 1:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>very very helpful to him, And looking at the map,

1:11:39.200 --> 1:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>I know what it feels like to not have that

1:11:41.680 --> 1:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>help as a black candidate in Florida, seeing the numbers

1:11:48.040 --> 1:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>flee from me and the Hispanic vote the way that

1:11:51.000 --> 1:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw that showed up for Hillary Clinton. But we're

1:11:54.840 --> 1:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>not there two years later and in my race, and

1:11:58.439 --> 1:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>we gotta we gotta get to that at some point,

1:12:00.880 --> 1:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and we may not be the ones. We may need

1:12:03.000 --> 1:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to bring folks of the community in to talk about

1:12:06.280 --> 1:12:09.080
<v Speaker 1>what happened there. Because after the race, I sat down

1:12:09.080 --> 1:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>in Orlando with a ground table of Latino leaders and

1:12:12.320 --> 1:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that they were telling me, that was being

1:12:14.360 --> 1:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>said about me on the the WhatsApp channels and all

1:12:19.400 --> 1:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>this kind of stuff. I mean, I was like, I

1:12:23.320 --> 1:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>was worried about racism with white folks. I didn't know

1:12:26.720 --> 1:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>what had to be had to be dealt with here

1:12:29.040 --> 1:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>in that way, and I don't want to. I don't

1:12:30.560 --> 1:12:33.839
<v Speaker 1>want to cast a total and complete expersion here.

1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:36.599
<v Speaker 2>We have won the majority of Latinos, there's no doubt.

1:12:36.840 --> 1:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>But but but there are real hurdles for black folks

1:12:39.960 --> 1:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>competing for the Democratic Latino vote in UH in places

1:12:44.080 --> 1:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>like Florida and Texas.

1:12:45.240 --> 1:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I will say this, I think that she.

1:12:48.160 --> 1:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Of course as a talent, but the party was faced

1:12:50.280 --> 1:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>with the choice, and I think she I think the

1:12:51.760 --> 1:12:52.559
<v Speaker 1>choices will stark.

1:12:53.360 --> 1:12:55.840
<v Speaker 2>It is her theory of change was. The way we

1:12:55.880 --> 1:12:56.719
<v Speaker 2>are going to win.

1:12:56.680 --> 1:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Texas is we have to deepen into our net true

1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>constituency and give those voters who have chosen that not

1:13:04.400 --> 1:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to show up and show out because they had no

1:13:06.680 --> 1:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>reason to that. The numbers are there, but they were

1:13:09.600 --> 1:13:12.519
<v Speaker 1>not simple. They simply have not been motivated to get

1:13:12.560 --> 1:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>out there and vote for a candidate because nobody has

1:13:15.479 --> 1:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>inspired them to believe that when you send me there,

1:13:20.680 --> 1:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm there for you.

1:13:21.439 --> 1:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm your person. When you send me, you sending us.

1:13:25.600 --> 1:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>She felt like she had the ability to motivate and

1:13:28.920 --> 1:13:32.479
<v Speaker 1>inspire the base of the Democratic Party to show up

1:13:32.880 --> 1:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>in numbers that are that are are impressive enough to

1:13:36.360 --> 1:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>win that state in a state wide election, assuming that

1:13:39.800 --> 1:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Republicans would be disaffected enough not to vote for the Democrat,

1:13:44.280 --> 1:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>but not to vote at all, not to vote at all.

1:13:46.920 --> 1:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I ran on the same thing

1:13:49.120 --> 1:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in the Democratic primary in.

1:13:50.360 --> 1:13:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Florida, and you will make a church away from winning.

1:13:53.920 --> 1:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about the primary. Oh, I'm talking about the

1:13:56.400 --> 1:13:58.400
<v Speaker 2>primary because you've got to People.

1:13:58.120 --> 1:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Always say, oh, well, if she wins a primary, she

1:14:00.120 --> 1:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>not going to be able to No, no, no, let

1:14:01.360 --> 1:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>me tell you this.

1:14:02.080 --> 1:14:03.800
<v Speaker 2>You've got a win. In order to win the general.

1:14:03.840 --> 1:14:06.439
<v Speaker 2>You gotta win the primary first. And if you can't

1:14:06.479 --> 1:14:08.479
<v Speaker 2>win a primary, I don't trust you to win a general.

1:14:09.280 --> 1:14:11.200
<v Speaker 2>So so that was her theory of change.

1:14:11.240 --> 1:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>His theory of change was, we are a loving and

1:14:14.000 --> 1:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>open enough party.

1:14:15.439 --> 1:14:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Forget the party.

1:14:16.600 --> 1:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>We're an open and enough people that we've got room

1:14:19.880 --> 1:14:25.000
<v Speaker 1>for Republicans, Independents, Democrats, no party of feelings, whoever you are.

1:14:25.200 --> 1:14:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's unite under this banner of love.

1:14:27.840 --> 1:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>And his theory is that there will be enough Republicans

1:14:30.320 --> 1:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that he will be able to convert to vote for him.

1:14:33.160 --> 1:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>That will make up for the absence of a motivated

1:14:37.439 --> 1:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Democratic core base. And I would say that is black voters.

1:14:41.320 --> 1:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>So for what they won't show up for him? If

1:14:43.960 --> 1:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>they assuming they I hope they do. But but if

1:14:47.280 --> 1:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>his calculus, their math was if I can't inspire them

1:14:50.360 --> 1:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>at the same level as she can, I will make

1:14:52.760 --> 1:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>up the difference by getting Republicans to vote for me

1:14:56.560 --> 1:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and my Christian neo Christian.

1:15:00.560 --> 1:15:04.439
<v Speaker 6>Tired logic using to lose race after race. Linda, you

1:15:04.479 --> 1:15:06.400
<v Speaker 6>have now waited in here some of you.

1:15:06.400 --> 1:15:07.160
<v Speaker 3>No, that's fine.

1:15:07.320 --> 1:15:11.439
<v Speaker 4>I My comment is actually going to be about James

1:15:11.479 --> 1:15:17.599
<v Speaker 4>because his his outward whatever he campaigned on. I don't

1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:19.000
<v Speaker 4>trust him as far as I can throw him because

1:15:19.160 --> 1:15:22.200
<v Speaker 4>of what he allowed his campaign to do to Jasmine. Like,

1:15:22.360 --> 1:15:26.000
<v Speaker 4>I feel like people often give these outward messages of

1:15:26.080 --> 1:15:28.160
<v Speaker 4>togetherness and all these things, But what your camp in

1:15:28.200 --> 1:15:31.519
<v Speaker 4>a primary? What your camp, what's your party? What your

1:15:31.520 --> 1:15:33.640
<v Speaker 4>camp is willing to do to another candidate if it's

1:15:33.640 --> 1:15:37.440
<v Speaker 4>steeped in racism. It's still Unfortunately, the people of Texas

1:15:37.640 --> 1:15:39.880
<v Speaker 4>don't have an option. They have to choose him in

1:15:39.920 --> 1:15:42.040
<v Speaker 4>this race against a Republican because that's what we want

1:15:42.040 --> 1:15:44.120
<v Speaker 4>at the end of the day. But it still feels

1:15:44.160 --> 1:15:47.800
<v Speaker 4>like we're still having to choose a lesser of two

1:15:47.880 --> 1:15:51.559
<v Speaker 4>evils or whatever, because we watched to perpetuate this this

1:15:51.560 --> 1:15:54.080
<v Speaker 4>thing against this black woman and shitty campaign. Though it

1:15:54.120 --> 1:15:57.120
<v Speaker 4>may have been given whatever reason or the next, they

1:15:57.160 --> 1:15:59.200
<v Speaker 4>still did it to her. They still allowed all these

1:15:59.200 --> 1:16:00.880
<v Speaker 4>things to work in their face for him to win.

1:16:01.960 --> 1:16:06.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm just I'm sorry I'm Tallerrico because I

1:16:06.479 --> 1:16:09.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't know him. I didn't be from.

1:16:08.400 --> 1:16:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Tom Adams castin be twenty eight nominee.

1:16:12.760 --> 1:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>The reason why, and I'm highly suspicious of candidate's period.

1:16:15.960 --> 1:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm highly substicious of politicians spirit because I've been there

1:16:19.000 --> 1:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>in that, and I've there are spaces I won't even

1:16:22.920 --> 1:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>don't even want to go in anymore, because you feel seed,

1:16:26.080 --> 1:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, once you walk.

1:16:26.920 --> 1:16:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Into the room.

1:16:28.439 --> 1:16:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I have been optimistically skeptical, but there are things that

1:16:34.800 --> 1:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>have gotten the way of it which were one the

1:16:38.320 --> 1:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the the gumption you must feel as a young white

1:16:42.000 --> 1:16:45.520
<v Speaker 1>man to refer to a black man as a mediocre

1:16:46.800 --> 1:16:50.439
<v Speaker 1>candidate for Congress, right, So to let that cross your

1:16:50.479 --> 1:16:55.120
<v Speaker 1>lips in this day and age, given your profile, I

1:16:55.240 --> 1:16:58.360
<v Speaker 1>was wondering what was going on. Number two, to the

1:16:58.400 --> 1:17:00.439
<v Speaker 1>same point you made the kind of tack in the

1:17:00.439 --> 1:17:03.840
<v Speaker 1>way in which she was skewed in a paid advertising

1:17:03.840 --> 1:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>way by the opposition. And then third, I got to

1:17:07.120 --> 1:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>say on election night when Jasmine, within moments of learning

1:17:12.280 --> 1:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>about the Supreme Court's stay on the Court's decision, got

1:17:16.880 --> 1:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>out in front of the cameras and she didn't blame him,

1:17:20.720 --> 1:17:23.040
<v Speaker 1>She didn't talk about a conspiracy these She said, this

1:17:23.120 --> 1:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>is what Republicans do, right, So she kept the thing

1:17:26.160 --> 1:17:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the thing, the target.

1:17:27.439 --> 1:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>The target was the opposing party.

1:17:30.439 --> 1:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought to myself, if this man has a brain,

1:17:33.080 --> 1:17:36.439
<v Speaker 1>and if he's got people who are smart advisors around him,

1:17:36.960 --> 1:17:40.680
<v Speaker 1>they would be telling him right now. You have the opportunity,

1:17:40.720 --> 1:17:44.479
<v Speaker 1>given where we sit right now, to be magnanimous. You

1:17:44.560 --> 1:17:46.679
<v Speaker 1>should go out in front of the camera and say,

1:17:47.200 --> 1:17:50.519
<v Speaker 1>while I would love tonight for one of us to

1:17:50.560 --> 1:17:54.000
<v Speaker 1>be able to declare victory, no one within our party

1:17:54.280 --> 1:17:59.519
<v Speaker 1>can declare victory until every single vote legally cast is counted.

1:17:59.720 --> 1:18:05.479
<v Speaker 6>He's said that he didn't, but this is the test.

1:18:06.120 --> 1:18:08.559
<v Speaker 1>This is the test when you were less certain about

1:18:08.560 --> 1:18:10.400
<v Speaker 1>how South Texas numbers were.

1:18:10.320 --> 1:18:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Going to roll in, when you didn't know what that

1:18:13.400 --> 1:18:14.160
<v Speaker 2>was going to look like.

1:18:15.400 --> 1:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>As a Democrat, and given what your propaganda, what your

1:18:19.320 --> 1:18:21.920
<v Speaker 1>message has been, you have to believe at the beginning

1:18:21.920 --> 1:18:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and the end of the day, every goddamn vote must count,

1:18:24.400 --> 1:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>especially in the Democratic primary against Jasmine Crockett. You gotta

1:18:28.920 --> 1:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>say that. And the fact that it came at the

1:18:32.040 --> 1:18:34.040
<v Speaker 1>end of the night, after he begged his supporters not

1:18:34.080 --> 1:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to leave the room because he was coming out one

1:18:35.760 --> 1:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>way or another, and that one way or another meant

1:18:38.160 --> 1:18:39.599
<v Speaker 1>to me that they were hedging.

1:18:40.479 --> 1:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>They were hedging on how far he could go with

1:18:43.280 --> 1:18:43.879
<v Speaker 2>his statements.

1:18:43.880 --> 1:18:47.559
<v Speaker 1>So his statement was he said what I what the

1:18:47.680 --> 1:18:49.679
<v Speaker 1>with the big picture is, which is kind of a vote,

1:18:49.960 --> 1:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>But it was the most benign way in which a

1:18:51.960 --> 1:18:54.400
<v Speaker 1>thing can be said. And all I'm saying is given

1:18:54.439 --> 1:18:57.720
<v Speaker 1>what his posture was when when when the news came out,

1:18:57.920 --> 1:19:01.400
<v Speaker 1>he could have gained signficantly, I think with the Black

1:19:01.439 --> 1:19:05.759
<v Speaker 1>community had in that moment he come out and say

1:19:05.840 --> 1:19:09.599
<v Speaker 1>this thing, this thing matters, and I wish I could

1:19:09.720 --> 1:19:13.920
<v Speaker 1>declare victory or one of us could, but not tonight,

1:19:14.200 --> 1:19:15.479
<v Speaker 1>not until every vote is counted.

1:19:25.520 --> 1:19:26.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, I was going to say three things, but I

1:19:26.840 --> 1:19:28.240
<v Speaker 5>was going to try to end on a lighter note.

1:19:28.280 --> 1:19:30.559
<v Speaker 5>But go ahead, Angela, because I was, well, I might as.

1:19:30.439 --> 1:19:32.599
<v Speaker 6>Gonna be complimentary too, because what I don't want our

1:19:33.040 --> 1:19:36.919
<v Speaker 6>your sister to hear from the show is just critique,

1:19:37.000 --> 1:19:40.760
<v Speaker 6>especially in your hardest moment, like you know, when Andrew ran,

1:19:41.080 --> 1:19:43.000
<v Speaker 6>I feel like there were days where I took it

1:19:43.080 --> 1:19:45.639
<v Speaker 6>harder than him because because right now I still don't understand,

1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:48.280
<v Speaker 6>but I want to be very clear as of right now,

1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:53.040
<v Speaker 6>when ninety seven percent of votes counted, Jasmine garnered one million,

1:19:53.160 --> 1:19:58.400
<v Speaker 6>sixty seven and thirty eight votes. That is a formidable Yeah,

1:19:58.439 --> 1:20:03.439
<v Speaker 6>you know, a formidable I just let me make my point.

1:20:03.800 --> 1:20:08.120
<v Speaker 6>That's a formidable candidate. If Jasmine were running outside of Texas,

1:20:08.439 --> 1:20:09.519
<v Speaker 6>Jasmine's ass will.

1:20:09.400 --> 1:20:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Be senator of a lot of other different places.

1:20:11.760 --> 1:20:14.680
<v Speaker 6>And I think the thing that this moment requires of

1:20:14.760 --> 1:20:17.880
<v Speaker 6>us is not to start pointing blame. Yes, again, there

1:20:17.920 --> 1:20:20.679
<v Speaker 6>are things that we in our lives as human beings,

1:20:20.680 --> 1:20:21.320
<v Speaker 6>can do different.

1:20:21.320 --> 1:20:24.160
<v Speaker 3>There are things that we can do different in our places.

1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:27.719
<v Speaker 6>Of work, from when she announced to where she got.

1:20:27.920 --> 1:20:29.320
<v Speaker 3>That is to be commended.

1:20:29.800 --> 1:20:32.840
<v Speaker 6>What Jasmine has done in the House of Representatives, to

1:20:32.960 --> 1:20:35.679
<v Speaker 6>be courageous, to have to stand up in the face

1:20:35.720 --> 1:20:39.160
<v Speaker 6>of a fascist, even getting fit for a bullet proof vest.

1:20:39.680 --> 1:20:43.200
<v Speaker 6>Jasmine is to be commended. For every little black girl,

1:20:43.280 --> 1:20:46.439
<v Speaker 6>little black boy, little Asian child, little white child that

1:20:46.520 --> 1:20:48.679
<v Speaker 6>she has inspired in all of the elders.

1:20:48.960 --> 1:20:51.679
<v Speaker 3>That is to be commended. I don't want that lost

1:20:51.760 --> 1:20:52.240
<v Speaker 3>upon us.

1:20:52.600 --> 1:20:55.320
<v Speaker 6>Yes, we can do post mortem, Yes we can figure

1:20:55.360 --> 1:20:57.400
<v Speaker 6>out what needs to be done better. But I don't

1:20:57.479 --> 1:21:00.920
<v Speaker 6>want to see her just go and become a private citizen.

1:21:01.000 --> 1:21:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Sister. I know that's where you leaning, but you are an.

1:21:03.880 --> 1:21:07.680
<v Speaker 6>Important voice in public service, and I just hope that

1:21:07.760 --> 1:21:10.920
<v Speaker 6>you use this to continue to push forward. I would

1:21:11.000 --> 1:21:13.920
<v Speaker 6>love to see her, as you said, McCary, start to

1:21:13.960 --> 1:21:16.599
<v Speaker 6>build the type of ground game that Stacey did in

1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:20.400
<v Speaker 6>tandem with some other black organizations like New Georgia Project and.

1:21:20.360 --> 1:21:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Black Voters Matter as well.

1:21:22.320 --> 1:21:24.240
<v Speaker 6>I would love to see and I'm not saying that

1:21:24.240 --> 1:21:27.479
<v Speaker 6>that those apparatus do not exist in Texas. I would

1:21:27.520 --> 1:21:29.559
<v Speaker 6>like to see them strengthen. I would like to see

1:21:29.560 --> 1:21:32.200
<v Speaker 6>that happen in Arkansas. I want to see it in Mississippi.

1:21:32.280 --> 1:21:34.200
<v Speaker 6>I want to see it in Louisiana. I want to

1:21:34.240 --> 1:21:36.680
<v Speaker 6>see it all throughout the South, South Carolina, North Carolina

1:21:36.720 --> 1:21:39.639
<v Speaker 6>to continue to grow, because while we're building that, they

1:21:39.680 --> 1:21:42.280
<v Speaker 6>are shutting down precincts on our kids' campuses.

1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:44.599
<v Speaker 3>So we have to we have to be clear about

1:21:44.640 --> 1:21:45.160
<v Speaker 3>that as well.

1:21:45.280 --> 1:21:48.920
<v Speaker 6>If Jasmine was not up against white people saying well,

1:21:48.920 --> 1:21:51.479
<v Speaker 6>we need to vote for the electable candidate, if she

1:21:51.560 --> 1:21:54.479
<v Speaker 6>were not up against polling precincts being said, being told

1:21:54.479 --> 1:21:56.120
<v Speaker 6>they're going to stay open un till nine and instead

1:21:56.160 --> 1:21:59.200
<v Speaker 6>they close back at seven because y'all. We're sending people

1:21:59.479 --> 1:22:01.920
<v Speaker 6>all types confusion and they couldn't even figure out where

1:22:01.920 --> 1:22:04.880
<v Speaker 6>they could go to vote on the Secretary of State's website.

1:22:05.320 --> 1:22:07.320
<v Speaker 6>We have to be clear that in spite of all

1:22:07.360 --> 1:22:11.000
<v Speaker 6>of that, she came to into a very close second numerically,

1:22:11.120 --> 1:22:12.360
<v Speaker 6>maybe not percentage wise.

1:22:12.400 --> 1:22:15.160
<v Speaker 4>I think it's that she should give Yeah, I saw

1:22:15.160 --> 1:22:15.720
<v Speaker 4>the number two.

1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:16.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah I was.

1:22:16.680 --> 1:22:18.960
<v Speaker 4>That's one hundred and forty thousand candidates, and just to

1:22:19.000 --> 1:22:20.920
<v Speaker 4>sum it all up here, we see once again, yeah,

1:22:20.920 --> 1:22:24.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, votes. Once again, we are very close to

1:22:24.600 --> 1:22:26.599
<v Speaker 4>We're showing that we could literally win if we didn't

1:22:26.640 --> 1:22:27.600
<v Speaker 4>have all these impediments.

1:22:27.640 --> 1:22:31.800
<v Speaker 1>But that's all that's I apologize because I was. I

1:22:31.920 --> 1:22:34.839
<v Speaker 1>took it as default, and I shouldn't because as as

1:22:34.880 --> 1:22:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a candidate, by.

1:22:36.160 --> 1:22:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Having run myself that.

1:22:40.200 --> 1:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Jasmine was not only eminently qualified for the post that

1:22:42.880 --> 1:22:47.320
<v Speaker 1>she was seeking, she got out there every single day

1:22:47.360 --> 1:22:51.080
<v Speaker 1>since she has arrived in Congress fighting, I'm telling you,

1:22:51.640 --> 1:22:54.360
<v Speaker 1>every single day, not just for her district, not just

1:22:54.439 --> 1:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>for her state, she has fought for the nation and

1:22:59.600 --> 1:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>on FO. Fortunately, we still live in a society, and

1:23:03.680 --> 1:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>this society there's no party affiliation to to cure anybody

1:23:10.840 --> 1:23:14.759
<v Speaker 1>from the symptoms of this that white supremacy is real.

1:23:16.080 --> 1:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know, Tyler. I wish him well.

1:23:19.479 --> 1:23:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I also wish him deepening into.

1:23:24.400 --> 1:23:26.960
<v Speaker 3>He needs another seniors well.

1:23:27.000 --> 1:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>His philosophy and his and his actions have to meet

1:23:30.080 --> 1:23:31.479
<v Speaker 1>what you say must meet.

1:23:31.800 --> 1:23:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh. Those two. But the other thing is is that.

1:23:39.040 --> 1:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>If there is sadness by people in Texas for having

1:23:42.400 --> 1:23:48.679
<v Speaker 1>lost your fighter, champion member of Congress who was was

1:23:48.680 --> 1:23:50.679
<v Speaker 1>was all the way down to do what was ever,

1:23:50.800 --> 1:23:55.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever was required obviously helped to prop her up on

1:23:55.800 --> 1:23:58.080
<v Speaker 1>her leaning side, and we would be here to do

1:23:58.160 --> 1:24:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it and any day of the But Jasmine isn't done,

1:24:02.840 --> 1:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and so she can't be put out to pasture. She

1:24:06.360 --> 1:24:14.479
<v Speaker 1>needs to now be shrouded in the encouragement, embrace bosom

1:24:14.600 --> 1:24:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of the community and not just black folks, but the

1:24:18.479 --> 1:24:21.200
<v Speaker 1>community of Texas that she has gone out there and

1:24:21.280 --> 1:24:24.200
<v Speaker 1>sacrificed and fought for and it still is fighting for

1:24:24.280 --> 1:24:26.559
<v Speaker 1>in this moment, to let her know not just speak

1:24:26.600 --> 1:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>things into her, but to sow them into her. If

1:24:30.080 --> 1:24:32.599
<v Speaker 1>a consultancy and a job and this and a stretit

1:24:33.040 --> 1:24:35.519
<v Speaker 1>was necessary to hold her over until her heart can

1:24:35.560 --> 1:24:36.360
<v Speaker 1>become clear.

1:24:36.160 --> 1:24:38.280
<v Speaker 2>About what she wants to do. Then you do that.

1:24:38.240 --> 1:24:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Thing, because I'm sick of the usury. This is why

1:24:41.960 --> 1:24:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been so obstinate about.

1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Andrew, you need to get back into the da da.

1:24:46.320 --> 1:24:49.559
<v Speaker 1>I have a thing on my shoulder because now it

1:24:49.640 --> 1:24:50.360
<v Speaker 1>is you again.

1:24:50.400 --> 1:24:53.479
<v Speaker 2>You want me to be in service too. And when

1:24:54.240 --> 1:24:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I needed and couldn't.

1:24:55.520 --> 1:24:59.479
<v Speaker 1>Even form the words to express my need, it was

1:24:59.520 --> 1:25:03.719
<v Speaker 1>me and the wall, yeah, and the breathing, living bodies

1:25:03.720 --> 1:25:08.719
<v Speaker 1>in the confines of my home. So I can imagine

1:25:08.760 --> 1:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that one of the thoughts that she is speaking to

1:25:11.320 --> 1:25:15.760
<v Speaker 1>herself is I am only useful when I am in

1:25:15.960 --> 1:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>service to you, my God. And what she should know

1:25:19.280 --> 1:25:21.479
<v Speaker 1>is she is useful every day of the week, in

1:25:21.600 --> 1:25:25.519
<v Speaker 1>and out the week in twenty four seven seven day whatever.

1:25:25.840 --> 1:25:28.200
<v Speaker 2>She's such a gift. I know God is going to

1:25:28.200 --> 1:25:30.400
<v Speaker 2>continue to move in a mighty way.

1:25:30.439 --> 1:25:32.759
<v Speaker 1>And it may not be clear today, but the clouds

1:25:32.800 --> 1:25:34.760
<v Speaker 1>will clear and it will become.

1:25:36.240 --> 1:25:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Obvious and irresistible what the thing is.

1:25:39.840 --> 1:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>But if nothing else, y'all stop using putting us down

1:25:45.200 --> 1:25:49.559
<v Speaker 1>as tools to be used for an assignment of your choosing.

1:25:49.960 --> 1:25:55.479
<v Speaker 1>And then when when my ambition makes itself manifest, you

1:25:55.520 --> 1:25:58.080
<v Speaker 1>have counted me out before I've begun, because that isn't

1:25:58.120 --> 1:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the way in which you thought this tool supposed to

1:26:00.640 --> 1:26:04.200
<v Speaker 1>be used. And that is my biggest peeve about the race,

1:26:04.439 --> 1:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>is that people decided the boxes she was supposed to

1:26:06.640 --> 1:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>fit in, and when she decided that there were no

1:26:11.320 --> 1:26:15.880
<v Speaker 1>borders around her gifts is when they had to kick

1:26:15.920 --> 1:26:18.120
<v Speaker 1>in and remind her that those there are borders. There

1:26:18.120 --> 1:26:21.000
<v Speaker 1>are levels to this, and there are conditions that must

1:26:21.080 --> 1:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>be met before such and such and such, or quite frankly,

1:26:24.240 --> 1:26:26.080
<v Speaker 1>that isn't what we see for you. This is the

1:26:26.080 --> 1:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>thing that you were really good at, and I just

1:26:27.800 --> 1:26:29.439
<v Speaker 1>wish you would have gone back to do that thing.

1:26:29.760 --> 1:26:32.040
<v Speaker 6>I'm glad Line has a whole video of breaking down

1:26:32.160 --> 1:26:34.920
<v Speaker 6>the massagyn Or and this race, because I want to

1:26:34.960 --> 1:26:36.759
<v Speaker 6>talk about that and whether or not we think Barack

1:26:36.760 --> 1:26:40.519
<v Speaker 6>Obama called Jasmine and tell her good job based on

1:26:40.640 --> 1:26:43.120
<v Speaker 6>his fervent support for James Tollerico.

1:26:43.200 --> 1:26:44.840
<v Speaker 3>But I digress, b I think you were going to

1:26:44.880 --> 1:26:45.400
<v Speaker 3>take us all.

1:26:46.200 --> 1:26:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well we're now at the point of the point.

1:26:51.960 --> 1:26:55.760
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, call action. I can lean into that. I

1:26:55.800 --> 1:26:57.479
<v Speaker 2>think that what.

1:26:57.720 --> 1:27:02.080
<v Speaker 5>People outside of the body politics realizes that the ceiling

1:27:02.120 --> 1:27:07.920
<v Speaker 5>that's placed to plum black folk is that glass ceiling

1:27:08.000 --> 1:27:10.920
<v Speaker 5>is a lot thicker and harder than people imagine. And

1:27:12.120 --> 1:27:14.439
<v Speaker 5>you know I ran in fourteen Andrew what you were?

1:27:14.479 --> 1:27:19.040
<v Speaker 5>You eighteen eighteen? Stacey was eighteen. There was a young

1:27:19.080 --> 1:27:25.439
<v Speaker 5>man Tyson, you represent their state down in Louisiana throughout

1:27:25.439 --> 1:27:28.800
<v Speaker 5>the South. And Jasmine Crockett is another name that chipped

1:27:28.800 --> 1:27:31.479
<v Speaker 5>away at the glass. And I think Jasmine will know it,

1:27:31.600 --> 1:27:35.840
<v Speaker 5>needs to know and feel that the the person who

1:27:35.840 --> 1:27:38.240
<v Speaker 5>finally shatters that glass, it'll be because of people like

1:27:38.360 --> 1:27:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Jasmine Crockett and Andrew Gillam and Stacy Abrams and the

1:27:41.400 --> 1:27:43.080
<v Speaker 5>many others who put themselves out there.

1:27:44.400 --> 1:27:45.000
<v Speaker 2>That's first.

1:27:45.280 --> 1:27:49.280
<v Speaker 5>And my last point about what we saw yesterday is

1:27:49.320 --> 1:27:52.240
<v Speaker 5>that to bring a little joy to your hearts. There

1:27:52.240 --> 1:27:58.320
<v Speaker 5>were four black Republican congressmen. Wesley Burgess I believe was

1:27:58.360 --> 1:28:05.719
<v Speaker 5>one of their names. Up, I just gave him a name,

1:28:06.840 --> 1:28:11.360
<v Speaker 5>you tying Donald's John James, Wesley Hunt and Burgess. Byron

1:28:11.439 --> 1:28:14.880
<v Speaker 5>Donalds is now reverend for governor of Florida. James is

1:28:14.920 --> 1:28:18.240
<v Speaker 5>leaving a run for governor of Michigan. Wesley Hunt the

1:28:17.960 --> 1:28:22.280
<v Speaker 5>little ball head no offense. Andrew Guy lost his bid

1:28:22.320 --> 1:28:24.360
<v Speaker 5>for the Senate in Texas and now we.

1:28:24.479 --> 1:28:30.200
<v Speaker 6>Just have came in a distant third place, beca sneeze

1:28:30.200 --> 1:28:31.120
<v Speaker 6>on a million votes.

1:28:31.400 --> 1:28:33.160
<v Speaker 5>So right now, right now, you're just down the one

1:28:33.200 --> 1:28:35.920
<v Speaker 5>I will say, my call to action is is a lot,

1:28:35.960 --> 1:28:38.760
<v Speaker 5>like Jasmine Crockett, be the very best, particularly black folk.

1:28:38.800 --> 1:28:40.800
<v Speaker 5>I know we have to be exceptional, but the young

1:28:40.800 --> 1:28:42.640
<v Speaker 5>people listening, go out and be the very best that

1:28:42.720 --> 1:28:45.679
<v Speaker 5>you can be. She exhibited that throughout her career. Jasmin

1:28:45.720 --> 1:28:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Crockett puts me in the mind state of woman that

1:28:47.720 --> 1:28:49.320
<v Speaker 5>I've been thinking about a lot over the past two

1:28:49.320 --> 1:28:52.080
<v Speaker 5>weeks that I got the chance to know named Cheryl Mills.

1:28:53.800 --> 1:28:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, who is the none other than the general

1:28:57.400 --> 1:29:00.120
<v Speaker 5>counsel been the best friend and confidant and lawyer for

1:29:00.160 --> 1:29:03.760
<v Speaker 5>the Clintons. And many people just actually found out who

1:29:03.840 --> 1:29:06.720
<v Speaker 5>she was or that she existed this week as she

1:29:06.880 --> 1:29:11.680
<v Speaker 5>was shepherding Bill and Hillary through there through their testimony.

1:29:12.000 --> 1:29:14.840
<v Speaker 5>But Jasmine reminds me of missus Bill's a lot, and

1:29:14.880 --> 1:29:18.120
<v Speaker 5>that they are really really exceptional. They take no shit,

1:29:18.560 --> 1:29:20.519
<v Speaker 5>and they really really get at their jobs. And so

1:29:20.560 --> 1:29:22.679
<v Speaker 5>if I can be a lawyer, I don't mind people

1:29:22.680 --> 1:29:25.320
<v Speaker 5>saying that. Butcary, you remind me of Miss Sheryl. I

1:29:25.360 --> 1:29:27.479
<v Speaker 5>think that would be that would be a hell of

1:29:27.479 --> 1:29:31.200
<v Speaker 5>a compliment. So, young people, call to action, be extraordinary,

1:29:31.320 --> 1:29:33.000
<v Speaker 5>be the best you can be, and even in your

1:29:33.040 --> 1:29:37.520
<v Speaker 5>losses sometimes you know, those things turn out to be blessings.

1:29:39.880 --> 1:29:41.960
<v Speaker 6>I would like to say, yeah, I guess it's the

1:29:42.000 --> 1:29:43.800
<v Speaker 6>call to action. I would like to say my call

1:29:43.840 --> 1:29:46.599
<v Speaker 6>to action is responding to this James Tolerico text.

1:29:46.640 --> 1:29:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I just received. It's James Tolerico.

1:29:50.080 --> 1:29:52.719
<v Speaker 6>Our movement one, but flipping this seat will take everything

1:29:52.760 --> 1:29:55.360
<v Speaker 6>we have. Please become a Day one donor. How did

1:29:55.360 --> 1:30:01.879
<v Speaker 6>you get my number? Have your campaign apologize jazzmin first,

1:30:02.439 --> 1:30:05.360
<v Speaker 6>and then let's talk be well.

1:30:07.240 --> 1:30:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Off.

1:30:07.479 --> 1:30:08.360
<v Speaker 3>That's my call to action.

1:30:08.520 --> 1:30:12.800
<v Speaker 6>Tell them to hold themselves accountable. I believe in mutual accountability,

1:30:12.880 --> 1:30:16.519
<v Speaker 6>y'all on this podcast where regularly my anxiety shows up

1:30:16.560 --> 1:30:18.840
<v Speaker 6>and most times my dear brothers are like, calm down,

1:30:18.880 --> 1:30:21.559
<v Speaker 6>will be fine. But ninety minutes into this podcast, my

1:30:21.600 --> 1:30:22.720
<v Speaker 6>anxiety is right, but I.

1:30:22.680 --> 1:30:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Still will be mutually accountable. I love y'all.

1:30:25.320 --> 1:30:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I love you. Back the BVVVVV outcast.

1:30:30.240 --> 1:30:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1:30:31.080 --> 1:30:34.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually sick of being exceptional, but that's a temporary feeling.

1:30:35.280 --> 1:30:38.000
<v Speaker 4>I just say that because I'm sick of being exceptional

1:30:38.080 --> 1:30:41.120
<v Speaker 4>in spaces that are going to try to check track

1:30:41.320 --> 1:30:43.800
<v Speaker 4>my exceptionality at the very last minute once they figure

1:30:43.800 --> 1:30:45.920
<v Speaker 4>it out, try to put something in front of me

1:30:46.040 --> 1:30:49.519
<v Speaker 4>to prevent me from succeeding. So with that said, I

1:30:49.640 --> 1:30:52.040
<v Speaker 4>just challenge everybody to check on your neighbors and to

1:30:52.120 --> 1:30:55.240
<v Speaker 4>be better neighbors. I'm gonna say it every time I

1:30:55.280 --> 1:30:57.120
<v Speaker 4>get any sort of platform. We gotta knock on each

1:30:57.160 --> 1:31:00.599
<v Speaker 4>other's doors before fascism does we think about it. Canvassing

1:31:00.720 --> 1:31:04.000
<v Speaker 4>is something that politicians do just when they're trying to

1:31:04.560 --> 1:31:05.960
<v Speaker 4>get you to vote for them, But we need to

1:31:05.960 --> 1:31:08.559
<v Speaker 4>be canvassing our own neighborhoods. And I feel like things

1:31:08.600 --> 1:31:13.680
<v Speaker 4>like that make for a stronger case when the Stacey's

1:31:13.720 --> 1:31:16.599
<v Speaker 4>come into our neighborhoods when I don't know who Obama

1:31:16.640 --> 1:31:19.000
<v Speaker 4>had gone in folks neighborhoods. But like when we're trying

1:31:19.000 --> 1:31:21.880
<v Speaker 4>to build a stronger voting block, it's not about party,

1:31:21.920 --> 1:31:24.840
<v Speaker 4>it is about our issues. And I've been sort of

1:31:25.200 --> 1:31:27.960
<v Speaker 4>organizing to myself, I should do better about like working

1:31:27.960 --> 1:31:29.840
<v Speaker 4>with people and sharing my ideas. But the moment I

1:31:29.840 --> 1:31:32.000
<v Speaker 4>get some pushback, that I already expected. I'm like, Okay,

1:31:32.040 --> 1:31:32.519
<v Speaker 4>here we go.

1:31:33.680 --> 1:31:35.879
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, like we it has.

1:31:35.720 --> 1:31:37.880
<v Speaker 4>To come from us, Like the change we see has

1:31:37.920 --> 1:31:40.439
<v Speaker 4>to come from the bottom of the government is supposed

1:31:40.439 --> 1:31:43.280
<v Speaker 4>to be empowered by the people, regardless, and we just

1:31:43.320 --> 1:31:43.599
<v Speaker 4>have to.

1:31:43.520 --> 1:31:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Take that power back.

1:31:45.439 --> 1:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Hey man, not to mention, they don't let nobody plan

1:31:49.000 --> 1:31:52.439
<v Speaker 1>for them. They plan for themselves. And we got to

1:31:52.439 --> 1:31:58.320
<v Speaker 1>do the same damn thing. I the Texas race and

1:31:58.360 --> 1:32:02.160
<v Speaker 1>what transpired at the very last minute was yet another

1:32:02.920 --> 1:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>inventive form of voter disenfranchisement and suppression, and voters, we

1:32:13.400 --> 1:32:20.000
<v Speaker 1>have to get ready with a vote plan to anticipate

1:32:20.040 --> 1:32:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the many, many, many ways that may be contrived of

1:32:26.520 --> 1:32:29.599
<v Speaker 1>to get in our way of voting. Something as simple

1:32:29.720 --> 1:32:33.280
<v Speaker 1>as not having an updated website so you can find

1:32:33.280 --> 1:32:35.519
<v Speaker 1>where it is that you go vote, shutting down well,

1:32:35.520 --> 1:32:39.000
<v Speaker 1>by the way, the demand being so great to find

1:32:39.479 --> 1:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>where they go vote that it shuts the website down,

1:32:42.160 --> 1:32:45.120
<v Speaker 1>both at the state and at the county level. And

1:32:45.160 --> 1:32:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you're telling me you got to pull teeth to get

1:32:47.320 --> 1:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>us out to vote. You have people craving information on

1:32:51.040 --> 1:32:53.160
<v Speaker 1>how to get to the right place to cast the

1:32:53.200 --> 1:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>ballot and time so that it could be counted. Why

1:32:57.960 --> 1:33:00.559
<v Speaker 1>do I say it because I think it was partially

1:33:00.600 --> 1:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a dry run, and places like Texas and Florida, wherever

1:33:05.200 --> 1:33:09.479
<v Speaker 1>it is that you live, just get on guard about

1:33:09.520 --> 1:33:13.280
<v Speaker 1>how it is you are going to persist to make

1:33:13.320 --> 1:33:15.000
<v Speaker 1>sure that we get out, get.

1:33:14.880 --> 1:33:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Our votes cast legally, and get them counted.

1:33:17.600 --> 1:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Because it's clear to me that these folks, you know

1:33:21.040 --> 1:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>how Bacary prosecutors, when they look they they they they

1:33:26.640 --> 1:33:30.320
<v Speaker 1>see everything through the criminal mind, Like if my intention

1:33:30.560 --> 1:33:33.519
<v Speaker 1>was to do this, but they only see what you

1:33:33.600 --> 1:33:39.559
<v Speaker 1>did through the criminal mind. Well, Republicans under Trump have

1:33:39.720 --> 1:33:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a sinister mind, and when you're you put on the

1:33:44.160 --> 1:33:48.040
<v Speaker 1>sinister mind around how it is you're gonna achieve this

1:33:48.080 --> 1:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>thing which is keeping us from voting. I mean, God

1:33:51.880 --> 1:33:54.920
<v Speaker 1>knows the myriad ways you can come up with how

1:33:54.920 --> 1:33:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna keep us from doing it.

1:33:56.120 --> 1:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just saying, this can't.

1:33:58.800 --> 1:34:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Be a roll out of bed, go invote election day

1:34:02.800 --> 1:34:05.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of situation. We have to make a plan, we

1:34:05.520 --> 1:34:07.960
<v Speaker 1>have to execute, and we have to start now because

1:34:08.040 --> 1:34:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the inventiveness of the of their of their maniacal and

1:34:14.160 --> 1:34:20.320
<v Speaker 1>cruel plans require them erecting barriers for us voting in

1:34:20.439 --> 1:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>order for it to succeed.

1:34:22.479 --> 1:34:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Make a plan.

1:34:24.240 --> 1:34:25.200

<v Speaker 1>say at the end of the show, but I don't

1:34:32.479 --> 1:34:33.240
