Speaker 1: I'm joined by my fellow co host, the amazing, incredible,
Speaker 1: talented Thank you, Thank you so much, Angela Ross Christ.

Speaker 2: the People's Brief.
Speaker 1: Many of us fell in love with her during her
Speaker 1: sporadic social media posts parking lot, pimping and guess what else?

Speaker 1: a CP image for everybody.
Speaker 2: Thank you, what's up? What's up? Everybody walking home?
Speaker 3: Welcome poet. The poet has our poet, Lauria.
Speaker 4: This is a teaching moment everybody across the globe who
Speaker 4: falls on content that was unlessing.
Speaker 3: My name is not rhyme.
Speaker 4: My name is but me and that's okay, it's phonetic.
Speaker 4: Everything's fine.
Speaker 2: Do you know what. Nobody has told.
Speaker 3: Me that it's in the script, but keep going.
Speaker 2: I didn't know, but but all the time.
Speaker 5: But it's also to also it's also to ease though,
Speaker 5: so I mean that would yeah.
Speaker 6: But phonetically it's it's people and it's Renees got to
Speaker 6: ease sometimes I can understand the confusion, but it does.
Speaker 4: There's no accent on my and.
Speaker 1: I did take French for four years and for college,
Speaker 1: so I think I try to.
Speaker 3: Let's just let's just the last party.
Speaker 2: No, but he went to fam. We should keep that
Speaker 2: so that every.
Speaker 1: Brother running from family expect for all of our awesome,
Speaker 1: incredible listeners. I know you all's heads have been on
Speaker 1: a swivel as Donald Trump continues his march to have
Speaker 1: all of us on some kind of anxiety prescription medication.
Speaker 2: But the devil is a liar.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on in the world.
Speaker 1: We're going to do our very best to cover as
Speaker 1: many of these important topics as we possibly can. I
Speaker 1: will go ahead and not bury the lead. Elections occurred
Speaker 1: this week, and we're going to talk about it. It
Speaker 1: will be part of our main topic today. But also
Speaker 1: there's a war raging in the middle East, and it
Speaker 1: seems to be expanding every single day, taking on a
Speaker 1: new country and a new country and a new country.
Speaker 1: This is the world in Donald Trump's mind and now
Speaker 1: our unfortunate reality. But before we get to all of that,
Speaker 1: we've got, of course Bakari's favorite part of the show bus.
Speaker 2: I think I'm the only one that uses that.
Speaker 7: So are.
Speaker 2: Is your situation awareness?
Speaker 1: And y'all, I'm just gonna invite you to bring in
Speaker 1: your topics the thing that you wanted the listeners to
Speaker 1: be aware of. But I'm gonna kick us off because
Speaker 1: I have grown very, very used to and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you all have as well. When you're watching congressional hearings
Speaker 1: under these Republican senators leadership also known as ladies in
Speaker 1: waiting to Trump, Democrats do all the heavy lifting well
Speaker 1: this week, and in this particular committee, the Democrats got
Speaker 1: an assist from a Republican none other than Tom Tillis
Speaker 1: of North Carolina as they for the first time heard
Speaker 1: from Secretary of Christy Noome Department of Homeland Security since
Speaker 1: all of the chaos that she rolled out and Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Let's hear Tom Tillis joined the Democrats and some.
Speaker 8: Heavy lifting on the committee, and what we've seen is
Speaker 8: a disaster under your leadership, Misnown a disaster. What we've
Speaker 8: seen is innocent people getting detained that turn out our
Speaker 8: American citizens. I could talk about the culture that's been
Speaker 8: created here with Stephen Miller aiding in a betting. I
Speaker 8: heard first reports that he was the one that said
Speaker 8: it was a domestic terrorist situation where two people lost
Speaker 8: their lives in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2: I've heard that report. Maybe you can refute it.
Speaker 8: I don't know that we'll have time for you to
Speaker 8: respond because I'm giving you a performance evaluation here. I'm
Speaker 8: not looking for a response, and I'm saying Misnown that
Speaker 8: time after time after time.
Speaker 2: I've been disappointed.
Speaker 8: But before I get back to looking at the vicious
Speaker 8: people that did this damage to these families, I want
Speaker 8: to talk a minute about FEMA.
Speaker 1: So, y'all, I was just going to say, bear with
Speaker 1: me because there's a second clip from the senator, and
Speaker 1: usually we don't go this long with the clips, but y'all,
Speaker 1: is not every day that a Republican finds a spine.
Speaker 1: So go with the second part because it wasn't just
Speaker 1: about Ice. He also wanted to school the Secretary about
Speaker 1: her book.
Speaker 8: Secretary, I read your book last week, and honestly, some
Speaker 8: of the parts of it impressed me, but some of
Speaker 8: it distresses me. And I'll give you a good example
Speaker 8: of one that does the passage where you talk about
Speaker 8: killing a dog that was fourteen months old. I trained dogs,
Speaker 8: all right, and you are a farmer. You should know better.
Speaker 8: You should know that if you're going out to a
Speaker 8: hunting lodge and you're putting pheasants out and you're putting
Speaker 8: dogs out, you don't take a puppy out there. A
Speaker 8: fourteen month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years.
Speaker 8: You decided to kill that dog because you had not
Speaker 8: invested the appropriate time in training. And then you have
Speaker 8: the audacity to go into a book and say it's
Speaker 8: a leadership lesson about tough choices.
Speaker 2: It's in your book.
Speaker 8: We could play it if we had time. At that
Speaker 8: same lunch hour, you killed a goat, and you killed
Speaker 8: the goat because you said it was behaved badly. You
Speaker 8: are a farmer. You don't castright to go they behave badly.
Speaker 8: You should have probably done that before. But my point
Speaker 8: is those are bad decisions made in the heat of
Speaker 8: the moment. Not unlike what happened up in Minneapolis. I
Speaker 8: expect we're an exceptional nation, and one of the reasons
Speaker 8: we're exceptional is we expect exceptional leadership. And you've demonstrated
Speaker 8: anything but that. And the time that I've seen you
Speaker 8: responding to the emergency in North Carolina and across the Southeast,
Speaker 8: and acknowledging when mistakes are made and speaking too soon
Speaker 8: for the expedient of social media or whatever it is.
Speaker 3: Why is he still talking, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: Because it is long refreshing. However, to hear a Republican
Speaker 1: finally stand up saying all along with with with a
Speaker 1: degree of earnestness that reflects I think where the majority
Speaker 1: of American people are now. If you all are wondering
Speaker 1: on the listening side, how it is that Tom Tillers
Speaker 1: found the courage.
Speaker 2: I should have also said that he.
Speaker 1: Has announced his retirement, you're running again for re election
Speaker 1: from the great state of the Carolina.
Speaker 5: I still think there's value in it, and I am
Speaker 5: not going to I'm not gonna I actually know Tom Tillis.
Speaker 5: He was a Speaker of the House in North Carolina
Speaker 5: when I was in the General Assembly here, so I
Speaker 5: actually am very familiar. I broke my ribs playing in
Speaker 5: the North Carolina South Carolina basketball game one time, and
Speaker 5: Tom Tillis escorted me to the hospital. I know him
Speaker 5: very well, just in a random story. However, there has
Speaker 5: to be space during this time of battle where when
Speaker 5: people do right, say right things, regardless of their circumstances
Speaker 5: or context, we add them to our you know, mode
Speaker 5: or means in which we're fighting this battle. At the
Speaker 5: end of the day, politics is still the same, and
Speaker 5: people forget this all the time, and activists forget this
Speaker 5: all the time, and people on the far left and
Speaker 5: far right forget this all the time. And politics is
Speaker 5: about addition and multiplication, it's not about subtraction and division.
Speaker 5: Tom till Us hit every note.
Speaker 2: He was right.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying he's a democrat. I'm not saying we
Speaker 5: should give him a medal of honor. I'm not saying
Speaker 5: anything else. But I'm saying, during this moment of truth
Speaker 5: and honesty, he said everything appropriately about Christy. No, he
Speaker 5: skewered her appropriately, and he's going to lay the foundation
Speaker 5: for others.
Speaker 2: To do the same.
Speaker 3: Can I just say.
Speaker 6: It is so frustrating that they finally stopped gaslighting us
Speaker 6: when they decide to retire or resign because they got
Speaker 6: caught up in their own stuff. It's really frustrating, especially
Speaker 6: given where we are right now. What also irritated me
Speaker 6: remarkably about the farmer connection to Minneapolis is we're talking
Speaker 6: about two people who were killed in Minneapolis that we
Speaker 6: know of all of the hundreds of people who have
Speaker 6: been disappeared in this country.
Speaker 3: Keith Porter Junior, who was killed.
Speaker 6: In California, and he's talking about a goddamn dog and
Speaker 6: a goat.
Speaker 3: So I just at that point taken.
Speaker 2: But that was four minutes.
Speaker 6: Excuse me, I know what he said, and we damn
Speaker 6: near played all fifteen minutes on the show, I'm sure,
Speaker 6: and I'm saying I heard enough at forty five seconds in.
Speaker 6: I do not want people's lives to be compared to
Speaker 6: the farmer's bad decisions about a goat and a dog.
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that the goat and the dog
Speaker 6: don't deserve to live before Tiff, Peta and everybody the
Speaker 6: hell else come after me.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is, please do not.
Speaker 6: Compare ice is bad decisions with their bad bonuses that
Speaker 6: people will never badly get to what she did on
Speaker 6: the farm. I just don't care her should have stayed
Speaker 6: on the farm anyway.
Speaker 3: That's all I got it, Just Tom, whatever.
Speaker 6: Tom, thank you for taking Makari's broke ribs to the
Speaker 6: hospital too.
Speaker 3: We appreciate you.
Speaker 5: First of all, I felt a lot better. I felt
Speaker 5: a lot better after that. They gave me this little
Speaker 5: medicated anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Thank Someone said it's fine.
Speaker 4: I'm sad and I understand what you're saying, because I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think we have to equate like human lives
Speaker 4: to animalize for them to matter. I think what I
Speaker 4: took from that clip, I ignore a lot of the
Speaker 4: fluff because I don't expect nothing but bullshit to come
Speaker 4: out to people's mouths anyway, especially if they're late to
Speaker 4: the game. But just what I took out of it
Speaker 4: is using Christy Dum's words against her, her trying to
Speaker 4: peddle this propaganda that she has to make tough decisions
Speaker 4: as a leader, when the tough decisions she made were
Speaker 4: due to a lack of poor planning on her part
Speaker 4: as a leader. So that's what I took from it.
Speaker 4: I hear what everybody's saying, but anytime somebody is calling
Speaker 4: out Christyna, I'm gonna figure out what they're saying because
Speaker 4: they're true to it.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel that we're moving on. But just
Speaker 1: to say I think I think we are. Let's state
Speaker 1: the obvious. We're applauding people for doing the very basic
Speaker 1: level of their jobs. I get it, But when when
Speaker 1: it is so absent by the other side, it does
Speaker 1: seem to stand out when somebody over there does stand up,
Speaker 1: or at least sits up if he ain't all the
Speaker 1: way standing. Angela, I heard you have something on your mind.
Speaker 1: You wanted to get off staying.
Speaker 6: With crazy white women. Meghan Kelly is who I want
Speaker 6: to talk about this morning. Megan Kelly. For the first
Speaker 6: time in my black life, I think I might agree
Speaker 6: with her.
Speaker 3: Let's roll the clip.
Speaker 9: Look, there are massive divisions over what we've done here,
Speaker 9: and people are going to change their minds over the
Speaker 9: coming days and weeks one way or the other. But
Speaker 9: my own feeling is no one should have to die
Speaker 9: for a foreign country. I don't think those four service
Speaker 9: members died for the United States. I think they died
Speaker 9: for Iran or for Israel. I think I understand how
Speaker 9: this helps Iron perfectly.
Speaker 3: Well, I get it.
Speaker 9: I mean, I hope long term we'll see, but they
Speaker 9: seem rather jubilant. Eighty percent of the country does not
Speaker 9: support the Ayatola. He was a terrible, terrible man. No
Speaker 9: one's crying that he's dead, no normal person. But our
Speaker 9: government's jobs not to look out for Iran or for Israel.
Speaker 3: It's to look out for us.
Speaker 9: And this feels very much to me like it is
Speaker 9: clearly Israel's war. Mark Levin wanted it. It's his war,
Speaker 9: Ben Shapiro, Lindsay Graham, Maria Maddelson.
Speaker 3: That's obvious.
Speaker 9: They're the ones who've been pushing us into them.
Speaker 3: So I want to just clarify.
Speaker 6: I didn't agree with everything she said, but I think
Speaker 6: that it's important to note that there are too many
Speaker 6: times where American lives are sacrificed for a concept that
Speaker 6: we may not be clear on the fact that Donald
Speaker 6: Trump did not get congressional approval authorization for this war,
Speaker 6: and he ran on America first and not engaging in war,
Speaker 6: and he's engaging in the very opposite of that. In fact,
Speaker 6: there was conversation about Ecuador putting troops on the ground
Speaker 6: in Ecuador just on Tuesday. So I just want to
Speaker 6: flag that this is the first common sensical thing I
Speaker 6: have ever heard Meghan Kelly say.
Speaker 3: So kudos to you, Megan.
Speaker 2: Try to keep it on the side of attraction and uification.
Speaker 5: That's just what we said about Tom Tillis. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's kind of the same same trough.
Speaker 3: You see that.
Speaker 2: It's because it's the same thing. I mean, somebody on
Speaker 2: the other side. Finally, I know.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying. He's not okay, I want to hear
Speaker 3: this go.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 5: I mean I'm going to say something that I'm trying
Speaker 5: to say, something like a superficial no. I mean, I'm
Speaker 5: not going to dig into the content of it, because
Speaker 5: it is what it is. I was going to say
Speaker 5: that I actually appreciated the Dracula chic that she was
Speaker 5: wearing with the collar bone, with the collar bone to
Speaker 5: the mid drift out.
Speaker 2: I just thought that the dragon, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: It's called above that above the what's it above the
Speaker 2: us from the rest of the collar bone. What is
Speaker 2: it your chest? That's the chest.
Speaker 6: No, it's it's got a French name. What's this I
Speaker 6: don't know.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 6: Anyway, I don't see I don't think I want to
Speaker 6: hear Andrew, I want to hear what I want.
Speaker 1: I think it's the Actually, she's not in office office.
Speaker 2: She is a person.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was just going to say in the vein of
Speaker 4: people who frequently say things that we don't want to hear,
Speaker 4: or who are who are canonically on the wrong side
Speaker 4: of history, just right for the first time. I also
Speaker 4: think of Nick Flint as telling about about Democrats.
Speaker 3: Now, like my thing about all these I didn't see that.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think my thing with all these people is
Speaker 4: are they saying things that are on I guess our
Speaker 4: side of the fight? Sure, but they are only commenting
Speaker 4: on things they think are so like far from I
Speaker 4: guess themselves. But the issues that remain here in America,
Speaker 4: there's still one hundred percent down for perpetuating absolutely lives
Speaker 4: on on Three of those people agreed.
Speaker 1: But I think I do think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: fair game for folks to criticize us when if we
Speaker 1: give laudatory comments about people who otherwise ninety nine point
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time are opposite us and want
Speaker 1: to speak to our demise. But the truth is is
Speaker 1: everybody don't get bought to the savior the same way, right,
Speaker 1: Different different walks in life lead you down that past.
Speaker 4: That's where I'm cutting it off. I'm not giving these
Speaker 4: people that much just because you have one good opinion
Speaker 4: or no.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if it leads to.
Speaker 1: If it leads to them voting the right way, tossing
Speaker 1: Republicans out of power and putting Democrats in who will
Speaker 1: then hopefully have their spine, keep.
Speaker 2: The president and you know, accountable, I'm all.
Speaker 4: Right, But I don't think to a temporary fix or
Speaker 4: a temporary hurrah.
Speaker 2: I don't think I got after. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't believe it's a marriage made in forever. I
Speaker 1: think it is a trans stand there it is. It's
Speaker 1: a transition.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 2: Caution.
Speaker 5: All the young people listening one night stands can't lift.
Speaker 5: It can lead to a long, long you know.
Speaker 6: I don't know why it is doing off message. He
Speaker 6: said that Ellen would kill him, But.
Speaker 10: I'm just saying, can't lead to a long day long
Speaker 10: before we get I think you had a story to
Speaker 10: tell before.
Speaker 2: Is that a seguestion? That's a terrible segue.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, before we went down this tragic
Speaker 6: road that I think we can file both of these,
Speaker 6: even though I don't see the exact parallel. I'm willing
Speaker 6: to file both of these under broken clocks are right
Speaker 6: twice a day.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's okay. That's all I got for y'all.
Speaker 4: Said, Okay, yes, I just want to do a little
Speaker 4: bit of chatting. I guess this is more pop culturey.
Speaker 4: But the brand owner, Ania of Honeyfa the brand, is
Speaker 4: deciding to shut down her business.
Speaker 3: If believe, we have a graphic.
Speaker 4: There are a lot of videos out there, but they're
Speaker 4: kind of long discussing what went down. A little bit
Speaker 4: of the backstory is she had this super sale over
Speaker 4: Black Friday. She had like forty five percent off of
Speaker 4: all garments, but they were all pre order, and unfortunately
Speaker 4: for her business manufacturing to have so many delays, it
Speaker 4: pushed people's pre orders back and people were rightfully upset.
Speaker 4: And so after the initial discomfort, people supposed to get
Speaker 4: their stuff in December, Decembruary, December, and January, and still
Speaker 4: some folks have not gotten their things. So she posted
Speaker 4: earlier this week and says it's a strange thing to
Speaker 4: grieve something that's still alive, because at times this entire
Speaker 4: situation feels like grief. The waves of it just heavy
Speaker 4: in a way that's hard to explain. I've been sitting
Speaker 4: with this question for some time now. Is it all
Speaker 4: worth it? I've considered shutting Hanifa down because that was
Speaker 4: a lot. I think we can all agree when something
Speaker 4: goes wrong at this level, you don't argue the cost,
Speaker 4: you deal with it, and you take responsibility.
Speaker 2: This well, is that the only way to take responsibility
Speaker 2: and ask a question?
Speaker 4: Because I'm not I think there's a lot of measures
Speaker 4: to try to take responsibility.
Speaker 5: I can ask a question I don't. I don't know
Speaker 5: much about this, but like and so this question comes
Speaker 5: from pure ignorance. That's my self awareness. My therapist keeps
Speaker 5: talking to me about so, like why why why have
Speaker 5: a sell and sell more product than you can afford
Speaker 5: to sell.
Speaker 4: I think it's her business model. I was you have
Speaker 4: a shot at Hanifa before tell you?
Speaker 2: This is how I said.
Speaker 5: It comes stract on you just on a basic like ignorance,
Speaker 5: like economics platform. Thank you, Angela. I'm trying to.
Speaker 3: Really saying, I don't know that she was asking you.
Speaker 6: I think she was asking generally, Yeah, now you tell
Speaker 6: us what you were doing, because I didn't know.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, I think it's her business model,
Speaker 4: and sometimes it might be more advantageous financially for a
Speaker 4: business to do business this way, especially if they have
Speaker 4: a particular relationship and turn around time with manufacturers. Sometimes
Speaker 4: it's just the way that they choose. It has worked
Speaker 4: for her in the past. As someone who has shopped
Speaker 4: at Hanifa a number of times, there are always items
Speaker 4: that seem to be on pre order, but I often
Speaker 4: get them before the date that's said on the website.
Speaker 4: This just happened to be a really unfortunate situation, and
Speaker 4: she was on maternity leave, and I think what exacerbated
Speaker 4: the situation is that the forty five percent off sale
Speaker 4: brought in a lot of customers that don't typically shop
Speaker 4: because the price point is a little higher because Anifa
Speaker 4: is a brand that is more catered to special occasions
Speaker 4: and a little bit better quality than what a lot
Speaker 4: of women have options to shop for. But anyway, so
Speaker 4: it just brought in a lot of people who are
Speaker 4: not familiar with her model or just with the business itself,
Speaker 4: and so it just engendered a huge conversation online about
Speaker 4: whether she herself, as an individual is responsible for this mishap,
Speaker 4: whether the business adequately try.
Speaker 3: To remedy the prepoty of the situation.
Speaker 4: All I know is that they try to do a
Speaker 4: lot of communicating about what was going on. But someone
Speaker 4: made a video that was a great point. I just
Speaker 4: said that they focused on like special occasional, where so
Speaker 4: a lot of people order this, banking on it to
Speaker 4: be here on top for a particular opportunity, and so
Speaker 4: they've already invested X amount of dollars on this to
Speaker 4: now not have it, it does create frustration. But I
Speaker 4: think what that person also said in the video I'm
Speaker 4: thinking of is that we don't have this same sort
Speaker 4: of vitriol when we get seventy two items from sin
Speaker 4: and none of them fit.
Speaker 3: Right well and this is poorly made. This is the
Speaker 3: thing I think.
Speaker 6: You know, I was raised in a household where it
Speaker 6: was so important to us to shop black businesses, and
Speaker 6: so the narrative that a lot of people have around
Speaker 6: you know, well, if it's a black business, you're not
Speaker 6: gonna get it on time, or it ain't gonna do
Speaker 6: you write it and have an attitude.
Speaker 3: We didn't.
Speaker 6: I didn't grow up with that, and so it always
Speaker 6: shocks me to see that type of vitriol and hate,
Speaker 6: especially in a public space like on social.
Speaker 3: ANIFA has always been helpful, Like.
Speaker 6: I had some stuff on back order for a while
Speaker 6: that I ordered in October and I got it basically
Speaker 6: for Christmas. And I know, like tariffs are impacting our businesses,
Speaker 6: whether you're black, brown, white, or whatever. You know, manufacturers
Speaker 6: don't can't afford to stay open because of inflation and
Speaker 6: all of these other things. There are many challenges that
Speaker 6: go far beyond you know, this very amazing visual that
Speaker 6: she's created in her products, which are also amazing and
Speaker 6: amazing quality.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to wear the four things I ordered.
Speaker 6: But I will just say like I hate this for her,
Speaker 6: and I hate that it had to be such a
Speaker 6: public condemnation. It wasn't loving at all. It didn't feel
Speaker 6: like a build up. It felt like people very much
Speaker 6: so waiting to tear her down. So I just want
Speaker 6: to send love to her.
Speaker 2: This isn't her motive operanda, right, This is now.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying is she relied on a
Speaker 6: manufacturer that fell short, so there was a break of region.
Speaker 1: Are you What I was trying to establish is whether
Speaker 1: or not. This is kind of how it is. It's
Speaker 1: always a.
Speaker 6: Del I think one day was saying the same thing,
Speaker 6: right like, this has never been the case. Normally she
Speaker 6: would get her items before the pre order date established.
Speaker 6: Same And I'm saying that there are other implications. And
Speaker 6: so when we tell people at home to to pay
Speaker 6: assision to politics, that if you don't do politics, politics will.
Speaker 3: Still do you. This is what we mean.
Speaker 6: It will impact you at healthcare from urgent care to
Speaker 6: your primary care physician. It will impact the prescription drug
Speaker 6: that your parent has to rely on. It will impact
Speaker 6: whether or not you get your bad ass dress to
Speaker 6: wear in time for that event you couldn't wait to
Speaker 6: get to. Your politics, will do you step up? Say something,
Speaker 6: and definitely don't attack one another. We cannot afford to
Speaker 6: cannibalize each other.
Speaker 5: I was going to say that this is a unique
Speaker 5: time for black businesses. I think that they're filling the
Speaker 5: runt of a lot of things. And I feel like,
Speaker 5: upon my questioning, because I don't I don't shop at ANEFF,
Speaker 5: I don't know them, and so that's why I was
Speaker 5: appreciative of you guys educating me on the topic.
Speaker 2: But I feel like they're different.
Speaker 5: Bushels that black businesses fall into, like the general public.
Speaker 5: But I think that we're seeing whether or not you're
Speaker 5: to my slutty Vegan that's utilizing all of the resources
Speaker 5: necessary that they could use in terms of bankruptcy and
Speaker 5: other things like other business issues, or Uncleaneers which is
Speaker 5: going through their own issues, or now Hanifa, which is
Speaker 5: going through their own issues. I think each one of
Speaker 5: those three are in three different bushels. But I think
Speaker 5: we should probably talk about that or dig through on
Speaker 5: this show in particular, maybe in the upcoming weeks, bring
Speaker 5: somebody on to talk about and educate folks on some
Speaker 5: of the trials and tribulations that these black businesses are
Speaker 5: going through during these turmulent times. Because I just identify
Speaker 5: three that are struggling on different fronts, like in different ways.
Speaker 2: And you know, I wish you say what No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I myself I had a business. I started a
Speaker 4: business maybe year and a half ago, and it was
Speaker 4: primarily tea but also fine China, like actual tea cups
Speaker 4: manufactured in China.
Speaker 7: Cup.
Speaker 3: She uses it on pimping for those to watch not
Speaker 3: close by.
Speaker 4: But once I saw the things that were happening with
Speaker 4: the tariffs, and also hearing from my manufacturers that things
Speaker 4: were slowing down because I know, because I already knew
Speaker 4: that running the business was already a tax on myself
Speaker 4: as a creative, and all these things, I liquidated it.
Speaker 2: I said, we can come.
Speaker 4: Back to this later once all this off a six.
Speaker 4: But I knew it was not going to turn out
Speaker 4: well for me given my particular products. That's not any
Speaker 4: sort of shade to anybody else who didn't make that decision.
Speaker 4: But I want to go back to your earlier question
Speaker 4: as well, about like why have a model or why
Speaker 4: sell more than you can afford? Pre order sometimes has
Speaker 4: to be what black businesses get because they don't have
Speaker 4: the capital.
Speaker 5: It's not afford Like I don't want to say no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I want to be it's not more than you can,
Speaker 5: it's not more than you can afford. It's understanding your production,
Speaker 5: meeting your the the request or the volume request, and
Speaker 5: so there has to be some and I and this
Speaker 5: isn't I'm not I'm not condemning Hanifah. I'm just asking
Speaker 5: a question of can you produce as much as the
Speaker 5: request or the supply requires? Can can your can your
Speaker 5: I mean can your demand? Can your supply meet your demand?
Speaker 5: Is what I'm is simply what I'm asking. That is
Speaker 5: the question that I wanted.
Speaker 6: She would have said yes before, and I think's earlier.
Speaker 3: We should move on to the next flip.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like she she got a flood of new customers,
Speaker 6: So no, in that instance, she couldn't every other time
Speaker 6: she could.
Speaker 2: I hate to believe you this.
Speaker 1: I just the reason I asked early on was closing
Speaker 1: the only option here, it seems, and you all may
Speaker 1: know you clearly would know better than me. But maybe
Speaker 1: there were a number of things happening and then like
Speaker 1: this on top of it. Or was this this unfortunate
Speaker 1: delay and the unique nature of the demand being so
Speaker 1: much greater than what her normal sales might might solicit.
Speaker 1: Was was whatever indebtedness that was created from that incident
Speaker 1: so great a financial burden going forward that she just
Speaker 1: couldn't keep keep the business.
Speaker 2: Or was it brand harm too? That could be it too.
Speaker 4: I think it was a number of things. She also
Speaker 4: has a brand spaking new baby boy at the house,
Speaker 4: and it's could.
Speaker 1: Have been a lot, been a lot too, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: I feel that all right? Well, I wish them what's
Speaker 1: the weather. Funny thing because list of the businesses was
Speaker 1: that in our community, it's crazy because we can list
Speaker 1: the businesses on our fingers, and in the majority community
Speaker 1: we get abused. I mean, I ordered some cologne, my
Speaker 1: favorite from a very uh well known inexpensive and paid
Speaker 1: for that two dollars rush because.
Speaker 2: I needed here. I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 1: My point is is that it didn't get here in
Speaker 1: time almost three No, it's I'm to say two days today, Russia.
Speaker 1: Let's bring it to the point. That's the point is
Speaker 1: that if it were a black business, there are some
Speaker 1: folks who may have gone and blown it up because
Speaker 1: you paid whatever.
Speaker 2: But this was a.
Speaker 1: Well known hir End brand, and of course that wasn't
Speaker 1: going to be my default, nor did I make that.
Speaker 1: The thing that I now think about them is that
Speaker 1: they don't deliver on that that that's not the new narrative.
Speaker 2: That I have for them.
Speaker 1: And so I guess part of it is is like
Speaker 1: we also have to show some grace or equality between
Speaker 1: how we treat works.
Speaker 6: I was wait, I just want to say really quick,
Speaker 6: as a point of clarification, Anifa has not decided that
Speaker 6: she's going to shut down. She is contemplating shutting down,
Speaker 6: so I want to make sure it's very clear about it.
Speaker 2: She has a raise. I hope she reach it. If
Speaker 2: it works that we know we all have the.
Speaker 6: Same time, the main one saying that you got a
Speaker 6: heart out at two fifteen, so let me do it.
Speaker 6: Let's go next clip.
Speaker 2: That's why I need therapy.
Speaker 3: This is why I heard you learned.
Speaker 2: Somebody with a heart out. That's not Is this a segue?
Speaker 3: It's happening, but it's not you.
Speaker 2: Bruh.
Speaker 5: Oh, we do something happening and the global so I
Speaker 5: didn't know which one we were going to, but yes,
Speaker 5: I think that this. I think that as we look at.
Speaker 3: Our own.
Speaker 2: Skip.
Speaker 1: I really wanted to use that hard out for the
Speaker 1: toss that we cut.
Speaker 2: That was gonna be angelus. Oh yeah, but what did No?
Speaker 2: I picked up the ball. It didn't work. No, it
Speaker 2: didn't work, but it's cool. I like Clinton.
Speaker 3: I'm so confused.
Speaker 1: I don't know we're going to do Clinton. You're not
Speaker 1: doing Yeah, slip hard out doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 6: I would have kept that toss, but thank you.
Speaker 2: That would have been hilarious.
Speaker 3: But Andrew Andrew is Comedie Today.
Speaker 2: Book car you got it. So look are we doing
Speaker 2: a man? My corona were doing Ksey concept?
Speaker 11: She on?
Speaker 2: Which one are we doing? Concept?
Speaker 3: Your clip?
Speaker 2: I have to Angela stop screaming at me.
Speaker 5: Jes so so look I have Uh it's a blessed day.
Speaker 5: I have been concerned. I've been concerned uh recently, and
Speaker 5: I've learned a lot. I shout out to Jimani who
Speaker 5: joined us last week. Uh Williams advocate public advocate in
Speaker 5: New York, who heard a lot about about Tourette's. And
Speaker 5: after watching that, I also am somebody who is that
Speaker 5: weird guy who puts on the NFL network and watches
Speaker 5: NFL combines?
Speaker 2: And I found a young man named Casey concept she on.
Speaker 5: I hope I pronounced his last name correctly, but he
Speaker 5: spoke with a stutter. And and watch this clip that
Speaker 5: we have here where he's actually given an interview, and
Speaker 5: then we'll follow.
Speaker 2: Up with his remarks. After my meeting with the Bills,
Speaker 2: it went really well.
Speaker 12: You know, you know I'm actually from you know, well,
Speaker 12: I was actually born in New York rock you know,
Speaker 12: uh five a five. You know I mout out a Charlie.
Speaker 12: You know when I was about five, you know that's
Speaker 12: that that is the Bills. Is is actually my dad's
Speaker 12: favorite team. So you know, you know I've been watching him,
Speaker 12: you know, uh, I I have been watching you know,
Speaker 12: us since I was young. I've been seeing you know,
Speaker 12: Josh Allen. You know, uh, he's one of the best
Speaker 12: quarterbacks in the league.
Speaker 5: And you know, I would be grateful, and first of all,
Speaker 5: shout out to that brother for standing in front of
Speaker 5: the mics. And then I'll read a bit of his
Speaker 5: uh statement that he put up afterwards, in which he says,
Speaker 5: I want to say something. If you have a speech impediment,
Speaker 5: there's nothing wrong with us. I've had this stutter since
Speaker 5: I can't remember talking. This is a part of me.
Speaker 5: This is who I am. I can I control this.
Speaker 5: I want to be a role model for those who
Speaker 5: may be scared to speak up, who may be afraid
Speaker 5: and not confident in yourself.
Speaker 2: I stand with you.
Speaker 5: He goes all the way through, and his hashtag, I
Speaker 5: think is even more importantly, which is stopped the negativity.
Speaker 5: And so you know, I wanted to talk about this
Speaker 5: briefly because I feel like the way we treat disability
Speaker 5: in this country matters and depends on the way that
Speaker 5: you look. And it stuck out to me because we
Speaker 5: were educated and chastised. Not Jermaine Jimini, excuse me not
Speaker 5: he educated us in a way, but I'm just talking
Speaker 5: about just a very generalized way that we were educated
Speaker 5: and castigated by the way that we talked about the
Speaker 5: Bathto moment with John Davidson, and educated in just such
Speaker 5: a forceful way where this young black boy got on
Speaker 5: a stage at his biggest moment, gave his heart out
Speaker 5: and yes, he stuttered, and there was lampooning on social media.
Speaker 5: He was roundly laughed at. People mocked him as I'm
Speaker 5: sure he's gotten his whole life, and there was no
Speaker 5: forceful you know, stop treating this nigga like this. There
Speaker 5: was none of that. There was none of that from
Speaker 5: our community. It kind of just kind of went fell
Speaker 5: to the wayside. It was none of that from other
Speaker 5: communities which we come out and support and then we're
Speaker 5: forced to learn about these things. And so I was
Speaker 5: proud that he stood above it. I hope he gets
Speaker 5: drafted by whatever team he wants to, but I'm a
Speaker 5: buy a Jersey. I don't know if he's gonna be
Speaker 5: great in football or not. But I'm about Jersey just
Speaker 5: because I rocked with him, because of how he'd stood
Speaker 5: up and stood strong.
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask you what happened because I saw
Speaker 6: his statement, I heard him, and I didn't even really hear.
Speaker 2: The stutter like for a lot of us Shoe Yeah.
Speaker 6: Even on our show, we'll be like, uh, you know
Speaker 6: often and we don't have speech impediments.
Speaker 3: We're just trying to collect our thoughts.
Speaker 6: He seemed very clear to me, and there's no shade
Speaker 6: to people who have, you know, a stronger stutter. I
Speaker 6: would curious to know what happened to make him issues.
Speaker 5: Well, he had a lot of individuals who decided to
Speaker 5: kind of pour venom on it. Yes, he he You
Speaker 5: can tell when you listen to people, and I've listen.
Speaker 5: I had to educate myself. I ain't gonna lite to
Speaker 5: you a little bit, uh, and I've learned a lot.
Speaker 5: So they're feeling words gap fillers that people utilize when
Speaker 5: they have a stutter. If you go back and listen
Speaker 5: to them speak again, you'll hear those kind of gap
Speaker 5: fillers that he used. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: he was when he walked off stage, he was proud
Speaker 5: so I was proud of him, you know, you know,
Speaker 5: it was a big moment, and I didn't like the
Speaker 5: way people treated him, but you know, it kind of
Speaker 5: is what it is right now.
Speaker 1: I think all of community he was like just picked at, like,
Speaker 1: oh you don't understand him that, you know, that kind
Speaker 1: of thing, that kind of which I have to I
Speaker 1: got to compliment the brother because I've got lots of
Speaker 1: family members, cousins and whatnot who who has real strong stutters.
Speaker 1: And what he did with his filler word was he
Speaker 1: was actually he made the mutable.
Speaker 2: I mean you could you could really hardly hear it.
Speaker 1: When the people I know with strong stutters you can
Speaker 1: hear the filler until the next full work comes through.
Speaker 1: And the reason I wouldn't have picked it up, and
Speaker 1: I didn't pick it up initially when you first shared
Speaker 1: that CLIPB, I was inteding and then I you know,
Speaker 1: I got your point that it was about a study.
Speaker 2: I was like, I didn't have no stutter through.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I hear it, but this is the
Speaker 1: mildest exact format.
Speaker 2: But you know I've heard.
Speaker 1: But regardless of mild or severe, what a stupid thing
Speaker 1: to do to go off on somebody because of what
Speaker 1: clearly is not a nobody's choosing to elongate this sentence.
Speaker 1: It's the thing is a thing move onne.
Speaker 2: I know you were about to say something I don't quite.
Speaker 4: Remember, but I just think people are miserable because when
Speaker 4: I saw that clip, even with I mean, I know,
Speaker 4: I knew what the context was, but I was waiting
Speaker 4: on the stutter for so long. All I saw was
Speaker 4: this young man super proud of himself and like doing
Speaker 4: a gary thing already that is public speaking, like I
Speaker 4: just stopped sweating on stages like maybe a year ago,
Speaker 4: you know, like it's it's a muscle that everybody I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 4: I think I just I just be showing up places.
Speaker 4: I tell everybody. I live my life on Google calendar
Speaker 4: in by at a time, so I don't really have
Speaker 4: time to be stressed anymore. But no, like I just
Speaker 4: I was proud of him, like as an auntie, I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, this young man who is like going
Speaker 4: after his dreams and also having this conversation in this
Speaker 4: pressure fieled environment. I'm not I'm not understanding why people
Speaker 4: are choosing to exploit his what they perceive to be
Speaker 4: a weakness in this moment, and it's I think he
Speaker 4: just speaks to a larger culture online of people being miserable,
Speaker 4: of people just wanting to dog pile or feel some
Speaker 4: sort of community in the nay saying in the negativity
Speaker 4: because it makes them feel good about themselves. And I
Speaker 4: just hate that for people who are just in him
Speaker 4: his hashtags, stop the negativity, who are just trying to
Speaker 4: be positive forces on this planet when negativity is trying
Speaker 4: so hard to consume it.
Speaker 1: I feel that what my favorite part about it was
Speaker 1: when he threw to his dad like weight, like he's
Speaker 1: in a sentence, but he's like, that's my favorite dad
Speaker 1: favorite team, by the way, you know, parenthetically, just so
Speaker 1: you know, that's my dad's favorite team.
Speaker 2: And I was born here, but I was raised.
Speaker 1: Here, and there's a lot of pride in him, and
Speaker 1: I'm certain that there's great reason for him to feel
Speaker 1: the kind of pride that he does. But car is
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up our f y s A before we
Speaker 1: move into our meth topics.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I'm like, God, this is the last.
Speaker 5: First of all, Andrew, No, no, no, we're not well,
Speaker 5: We're not gonna do Andrew's doing a great job, Andrew,
Speaker 5: and this.
Speaker 3: Is Andrew is your fault.
Speaker 2: It's all of us. But I love it. Nobody knows.
Speaker 2: Wrap it up.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna wrap it up because it's kind of a
Speaker 5: natural segue to one of our topics we're gonna talk
Speaker 5: about in the long form. But Emyuel Macaron, you heard
Speaker 5: how I rolled that c n R. That was nice,
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 7: I just.
Speaker 5: Talked about how the effect that the Iranian war is
Speaker 5: having on his nuclear start power. And my wife is
Speaker 5: a conspiracy theorist in this type of stuff gets her going.
Speaker 2: Let's listen to this.
Speaker 13: I have ordered that we increase the number of nuclear
Speaker 13: warheads on our arsenal in order to put pay to
Speaker 13: any speculation. We will no longer communicate on the figures
Speaker 13: regarding our nuclear arsenal, contrary to past practice. In order
Speaker 13: to be free, therefore, we must be feared, and in
Speaker 13: order to be feared, we have to be powerful. This
Speaker 13: increase in our arsenal reflects that approach. But in order
Speaker 13: to be powerful, and this is the second part of
Speaker 13: my intervention, we have to be united. And I am
Speaker 13: going to speak about europe decision.
Speaker 1: To powerful, you must be feared that's kind of scary,
Speaker 1: which is clearly not what he brings, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's basically saying Donald Trump has reset the world order,
Speaker 1: and by basically using American strength through the military going
Speaker 1: in the countries, extracting presidents, sitting presidents of sovereign nations,
Speaker 1: choosing overnight to just bomb another country kill their leaders,
Speaker 1: he's ba I mean, I didn't believe a word. I
Speaker 1: don't think he is feeling this with his whole heart.
Speaker 1: I think what he's doing is saying, America, you have
Speaker 1: reset the table. In order to now basically prevail for
Speaker 1: your for your position to prevail, you must have a
Speaker 1: strong military and a sizeable nuclear armament so that you
Speaker 1: can throw your shoulders when.
Speaker 2: You have to.
Speaker 1: Uh to basically accomplish diplomacy in the new world order
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump, I think has you know, has ushered in.
Speaker 1: But Karie, the one thing I would just what's interesting
Speaker 1: about the timing of Macroom making this announcement this week
Speaker 1: is that February fifth, twenty six, so just the other
Speaker 1: day the US in Russia nuclear disarmament agreement evaporated. It evaporated,
Speaker 1: so for the first time, there are no restrictions or
Speaker 1: controls on the amount of intercontinental nuclear weapons that can
Speaker 1: be built by the superpowers of the world, the two
Speaker 1: greatest of which from a stockpile standpoint is the United
Speaker 1: States of America and the former USS are now.
Speaker 2: Russia, who were both.
Speaker 1: Broke ground with disagreement by allotting fifteen hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: intercontinental nuclear weapons that each could hold.
Speaker 2: There were also spot checks where.
Speaker 1: You could go when you could either inventory the US
Speaker 1: or the US and reverse inventory Russia stockpot to make
Speaker 1: sure that what they're reporting was consistent with what they had,
Speaker 1: and any nuclear fossil material that was moved had to
Speaker 1: be reported through the a Nuclear Atomic Agency, International Nuclear
Speaker 1: Atomic Agency.
Speaker 2: All of that goes away now.
Speaker 1: And the point that maclron was making in a statement was,
Speaker 1: and by the way, we're not going to share data
Speaker 1: on how many nuclear warheads we build, how many we contain,
Speaker 1: or when we move them. That's a big deal, and
Speaker 1: they really out of shutter all of us that we're
Speaker 1: going in reverse.
Speaker 2: We're going in reverse.
Speaker 1: Since World War Two, we've been moving in the direction
Speaker 1: of disarmament. And because of Donald Trump nearly single handedly
Speaker 1: changing the world order, even our allies are saying, we
Speaker 1: can't be safe, right.
Speaker 5: Well, I just want you to know fifty billion dollars
Speaker 5: is being allocated to defense contractors to expedite billion with
Speaker 5: the BEE to expedite the creation of new military weapons.
Speaker 5: They're not including nuclears ever know of. And they are
Speaker 5: actually meeting at the White House this coming Friday. And
Speaker 5: so just know that this is going to be a
Speaker 5: topic of concerning your tax dollars are going to be
Speaker 5: going to building nuclear weapons, and respectfully or disrespectfully, I
Speaker 5: don't expect Pete Hesketh, Christino, Cash, Fortel, Tulca, Gabbert or
Speaker 5: Donald Trump to be able to negotiate or Marca because he,
Speaker 5: I mean, he just can't to be able to negotiate
Speaker 5: a nuclear treaty across the world.
Speaker 1: So, by the way, but car you're pointing around not negotiating.
Speaker 1: Putin said, let's extend one more year. He said this
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. Donald Trump was excited about extending one
Speaker 1: more year to give them time to negotiate, but then
Speaker 1: decided he did not want to extend one more year.
Speaker 1: And so the news now coming out of China is
Speaker 1: that they are not going to enter any nuclear disarmament
Speaker 1: agreement until they build at least as many nuclear weapons
Speaker 1: as Russia and the United States have.
Speaker 2: That's their position.
Speaker 1: Now, why does all this matter moving into our mejor topic,
Speaker 1: Because hey, you have a good Friday night. Well, now,
Speaker 1: under Donald Trump's America and World, you wake up Saturday
Speaker 1: morning realizing that American men and women have been forced
Speaker 1: into a global war that was supposed to be between
Speaker 1: two countries and one other, Iran, Israel and the United States.
Speaker 1: But because of their short sightedness, absent planning, and any
Speaker 1: real ability to gain theory a war in today's day
Speaker 1: and age, what started as two countries combining together to
Speaker 1: go after Iran has now become Iran looping in seven
Speaker 1: I think at last count eight now individually sovereign countries
Speaker 1: into what could easily become World War three if not
Speaker 1: contained properly. I mean, I have to tell y'all went
Speaker 1: half the day not even knowing we were at war,
Speaker 1: simply because my phones. I love them in the car
Speaker 1: for the you know, on Friday night, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to bring them the house and wasn't watching news.
Speaker 2: And then I got to them.
Speaker 1: I was like, you've got to be kidding me, You've
Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. And worse over, y'all, Americans
Speaker 1: are in these regions of the world where bombs are
Speaker 1: being dropped on civilian hotels, and while other countries are
Speaker 1: moving their citizens out of harms way. The Secretary of
Speaker 1: State of the United States and the President began yesterday,
Speaker 1: began earlier this week saying that Americans were responsible for
Speaker 1: their own safe ways out of harm's way. Other countries
Speaker 1: are chartering flights, and that was our initial response until
Speaker 1: they got enough blowback that the Secretary of State had
Speaker 1: to come out in a hurried press conference to basically say, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to organize and plans and get y'all out
Speaker 1: called us, let us know where you are.
Speaker 4: November is so far away, and it's not even though
Speaker 4: guarantee that's true.
Speaker 2: I don't think November. I mean. The problem is that
Speaker 2: I heard in one of the clips earlier, I.
Speaker 5: Can't remember who it was, but they said that we
Speaker 5: had six lives that were lost, four lives that were lost,
Speaker 5: excuse me, and that number six at the time of
Speaker 5: this show.
Speaker 2: Now number is going to go up drastically.
Speaker 5: Even Cromer today even said he came out today and
Speaker 5: said that you're going to have to put boots on
Speaker 5: the ground. The fact is, Iran is going to We've
Speaker 5: heard Blumenthal say it, We've heard Mark Warners say boots
Speaker 5: on the ground. The fact is, and I think one
Speaker 5: of the tasks the four of us have is being
Speaker 5: able to show people how the Iranian war affects your
Speaker 5: daily lives. And it's not just gas prices, it's the
Speaker 5: market dropping on thousand points.
Speaker 2: Yesterday.
Speaker 5: Ellen couldn't sleep night before last because one of her friends, Nicky.
Speaker 5: Shout out to Nikki, who's from Maine. She is, She's
Speaker 5: she's with my brother in law, Aaron. They have an
Speaker 5: amazing little boy king. But she got a text message
Speaker 5: from her best friend that he's going to Iran or
Speaker 5: close to it. You know, I've been working with Don
Speaker 5: Staley to we got three young ladies who played basketball
Speaker 5: for the University of South Carolina who are playing professionally
Speaker 5: in the Middle East, who you have to get home.
Speaker 5: Shout out to Tiffany Freeman who's stuck over there in
Speaker 5: the UAE, who's trying to get home with her three cats.
Speaker 5: You know, you have individuals and these are just the
Speaker 5: people that I know that they've reached out to me
Speaker 5: to try to help put them in touch because there
Speaker 5: is no plan. Right you're trying to get people to Cyprus,
Speaker 5: you're trying to get people to Egypt. You're trying to
Speaker 5: get people to where you can get away out where
Speaker 5: there's only one flight out every morning. And to to
Speaker 5: watch Mike Huckabee. I can't curse as much as I
Speaker 5: used to, but to Mike, to watch Mike Huckabee flail
Speaker 5: as much as he's been flailing, to send out, to
Speaker 5: send out a notice from the embassy in Jerusalem saying
Speaker 5: that you would have pretty much Americans are on their
Speaker 5: own while you watch Alex Berkowitz. I believe that's his
Speaker 5: last name.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 5: I believe you know he's the one who organized the
Speaker 5: Nicki Minajas of the World, et cetera.
Speaker 2: He's the influencer coordinator.
Speaker 5: How he was stuck over there able to get a
Speaker 5: charter plane out, or how other countries Serbia is able
Speaker 5: to organize private planes out and we're stuck here trying
Speaker 5: to get Americans out. I just find it to be
Speaker 5: incompetence from the top down. And Iran is fighting a war.
Speaker 5: First of all, the Irunian regime is awful. Nobody's going
Speaker 5: to shed a tear over there over their leadership dying
Speaker 5: or being taken out. No one should, No one is.
Speaker 5: I mean, they've been oppressive for a long period of time.
Speaker 5: The Persian people are amazing people. They deserve to live
Speaker 5: under freedom. But you should walk into this with the plan.
Speaker 5: You should actually go to Congress and get you know, approval.
Speaker 5: We should know how we're going to get out. And
Speaker 5: they have done what they accused Hillary Clinton doing with
Speaker 5: embassies a thousand times over. They've done what they accused
Speaker 5: Joe bid enough when you talk about the Afghanistan withdraw
Speaker 5: a thousand times over. And this is what happens when
Speaker 5: you have your premier real estate developers run in the country.
Speaker 6: I want to toss to there's a clip of Jonathan
Speaker 6: Carl talking about Americans trying to get out of the area.
Speaker 6: So I want to I want to roll that clip,
Speaker 6: and then I want us to call the number to
Speaker 6: see what happens when people call this particular number.
Speaker 14: Right, So, Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged news organizations
Speaker 14: to put the twenty four to seven State Department emergency
Speaker 14: line out so that Americans who are stuck in the
Speaker 14: Middle East can help get help getting out of the region,
Speaker 14: register their names and not but listen to what happens
Speaker 14: when you dial the number.
Speaker 2: Please do not rely on.
Speaker 7: The US government for assisted departure or evacuation. At this time,
Speaker 7: there are currently no United States evacuation points. Please continue
Speaker 7: to check the embassy's website for updated information.
Speaker 14: So in the event, on the bottom line is if
Speaker 14: you're looking for help, you're stuck in the Middle East
Speaker 14: and you can't evacuate, there's no help yet from the
Speaker 14: United States government, you can call that number. You can
Speaker 14: go through the website, you can register your name so
Speaker 14: you might get updates later. But the number that the
Speaker 14: Secretary of State gave out, what it does for you
Speaker 14: is it tells you right now that there is no
Speaker 14: help from the United States government in getting out of
Speaker 14: the Middle East.
Speaker 6: So I wanted to play that clip, and then I
Speaker 6: want to see if the United States government has somehow
Speaker 6: found itself equipped and competent today, because that was on Tuesday,
Speaker 6: So maybe we record our program on Wednesday. Maybe within
Speaker 6: the last twenty four hours it's been resolved. Let's see
Speaker 6: what happens when you dial two zero two is the number.
Speaker 6: Two zero two five zero one four four four four.
Speaker 3: Let's call Paully.
Speaker 11: Welcome to the Department of States, Bureau of Consular Affairs,
Speaker 11: Office of Overseas Citizen Services serving US citizens abroad. If
Speaker 11: you are calling about the crisis in the Middle East,
Speaker 11: please press one. If not, press two.
Speaker 1: The US's community helping US citizens want to leave the
Speaker 1: region to do so.
Speaker 14: If you are calling for assistance with travel, please stay
Speaker 14: on the line.
Speaker 3: Okay. If you are calling.
Speaker 11: Regarding a US citizen in Israel, press one.
Speaker 2: If you are.
Speaker 11: Calling regarding a US citizen in Iran, press two. If
Speaker 11: you are calling regarding a US citizen in other countries
Speaker 11: in the Middle East, press three.
Speaker 3: Let me just hit too and see what happens. That's eran.
Speaker 2: You have reached Middle East Task Force.
Speaker 5: Please hold for the next.
Speaker 3: Available Okay, Well, at least there's progress.
Speaker 1: I'm glad updated, that is progress. I'm glad you day
Speaker 1: real time. They but you know what that should have
Speaker 1: been right yesterday. That's because I was watching when they
Speaker 1: When he came out, he asked the media, will you
Speaker 1: call please run this number now, and all the and
Speaker 1: the television network stations and the cable put it up.
Speaker 2: They put it up on the screen and.
Speaker 1: Said, Americans, wherever you are, we can Yeah, wherever you are,
Speaker 1: you're listening, please call this number now.
Speaker 2: But but again that was the American DA.
Speaker 6: Weight on whold because we don't want to clog the lines, right.
Speaker 3: Course, But but consider this, you don't know what happened
Speaker 3: to the president.
Speaker 1: The president sent us into war on Saturday. And when
Speaker 1: they were asked about the plans to help Americans get
Speaker 1: out of harm's way, that initial position of the government
Speaker 1: was that the US government was not facilitating travel for
Speaker 1: American citizens out of the danger zones. That was their
Speaker 1: initial position. Guess whose initial positions weren't that every other
Speaker 1: nation in the world, every who had no heads up
Speaker 1: that we were dropping bombs in their backyard, no heads up,
Speaker 1: But somehow they were able to prioritize getting their citizens
Speaker 1: out when our very own goddamn government, who knew they
Speaker 1: were going to drop bombs and listening to Benjaminett and Yahoo,
Speaker 1: they apparently knew for months that they planned on dropping bombs,
Speaker 1: but had no condition to get Americans safely out of
Speaker 1: harm's way.
Speaker 2: None.
Speaker 1: It was the pressure of US senators and the American
Speaker 1: people calling them basically saying.
Speaker 2: Have you lost your mind?
Speaker 1: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you? Have you? Are you crazy? You're not moving
Speaker 2: Americans out of there.
Speaker 1: So just consider that, y'all, that they never had a
Speaker 1: plan outside of dropping bombs to get you out of
Speaker 1: harm's way, right, And there's no better indication of what
Speaker 1: this administration is than that example, that unfortunate, truthful example
Speaker 1: that they never planned to get you out of harms way.
Speaker 4: Don't have And I'm running out of words, derogatory words
Speaker 4: for this administration, but just to your point, I just
Speaker 4: want to reiterate they knew for a long time that
Speaker 4: they were going to drop these bombs. The initial response
Speaker 4: that recorded line said you find your own way out
Speaker 4: of there, and they did not change it until they
Speaker 4: got backlash. Did you not expect to get backlash? Or
Speaker 4: were you like? What is the thought process there? If
Speaker 4: you were never going to care? What why does the
Speaker 4: backlash make you switch? Like if you you at least
Speaker 4: had a plan to say, no, we're not going to
Speaker 4: help you, that's at least what you had a plan
Speaker 4: to say.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you it was Republican senators telling them
Speaker 1: that they were going to get this right, and you're
Speaker 1: going to get it right right now. That's what he
Speaker 1: got the heat of them. But for Marco Rubio, there's
Speaker 1: Secretarial State who also happens to be the National Security
Speaker 1: advisor to the president, so he's carrying a million jobs,
Speaker 1: but didn't consider what it meant to keep Americans safe.
Speaker 2: I just did.
Speaker 1: What's insane about this is when I said game that
Speaker 1: they don't have a war plan, they don't have game
Speaker 1: that they can't game this out, is that we haven't
Speaker 1: had diplomatic relations with this country.
Speaker 2: And you think that you saw.
Speaker 1: Some protests erupting in the middle of the nation, a
Speaker 1: huge pushback to the Ayatola hamone that all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they were going to welcome Americans with open arms
Speaker 1: and then have the have what it takes to overthrow
Speaker 1: a well armed revolutionary guard. Guess what happened when then
Speaker 1: people walked out in the streets celebrating. The revolutionary guard
Speaker 1: had already backed up themselves threefold on the streets, and
Speaker 1: quickly those folks were ushered back into their apartments, houses,
Speaker 1: and neighborhoods.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and intelligence about a place would have told
Speaker 1: you that.
Speaker 4: And I never want to hear again that women are
Speaker 4: not fit to lead because their emotions run everything. This
Speaker 4: is the equivalent of an undisciplined and uncompassionate child walking
Speaker 4: into a store in touch and shit.
Speaker 3: And knocking shit over, oh blown, saying that's all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I just want to read this just
Speaker 5: real quick. The ambassador, former ambassador Algeria and Greece, name
Speaker 5: is David Pierce, and what he said was, when there's
Speaker 5: even a chance of impending military conflicts, you plan to
Speaker 5: move non essential personnel and families out. This administration did
Speaker 5: nothing of the kind. It bragged it had been planning
Speaker 5: these operations for months, and yet it made no move
Speaker 5: to provide for authorized or voluntary the departure for the
Speaker 5: military and diplomatic personnel in the region, or recommending the
Speaker 5: same for American businesses, students, and tourists until two days
Speaker 5: in two combat operations. He surmised by saying, this is
Speaker 5: a disgrace. Somebody what we're talking about, And the only
Speaker 5: reason I wanted to quote somebody is people will always say, well,
Speaker 5: what should the plan be? You know what, you guys
Speaker 5: are up here just postulating and opining what should the
Speaker 5: plan be. And that is a diplomat telling you that
Speaker 5: they he ain't do nothing about what the plan should be.
Speaker 5: And I'm glad we're here to talk about it. But
Speaker 5: I think elections have consequences.
Speaker 2: Speaking of elections with consequences, Bacary, we had elections this week.
Speaker 1: The primary season, y'all for the twenty twenty six election
Speaker 1: cycle began this week in the states of Arkansas, North Carolina.
Speaker 2: In Texas, just to name a few.
Speaker 1: And there was some I don't know, y'all, surprises, maybe
Speaker 1: some letdowns in some places, potentially some optimism and some
Speaker 1: others I'm curious to know as we observed election night
Speaker 1: and North Carolina with is it Roy Cooper who got
Speaker 1: the nomination for the depocratic nomination for the US Senate? Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm actually I wasn't pulling for anybody in Arkansas, Bacary,
Speaker 1: Yester year, neighbor.
Speaker 2: I don't know if if.
Speaker 5: No Arkansas, Arkansas, Arkansas had a let me just say
Speaker 5: history was made in Arkansas. And I know we don't
Speaker 5: look at Little Rock and those type of things often.
Speaker 5: But Bobby Forrest, who looks like his name is Bobby Farrest,
Speaker 5: Bobby Farrest man, Bobby.
Speaker 2: Bobby came in with the braves and everything else. I
Speaker 2: robbed with Bobby Farrest.
Speaker 5: But he won against an incumbent as the prosecuting attorney
Speaker 5: for the county for the county, and he beat and
Speaker 5: battled incumbent Will Jones for the district attorney in Pulaski County.
Speaker 5: He took fifty three percent of the sixty thousand votes passed.
Speaker 5: For people that want to know what that is, that's
Speaker 5: Little Rock. Yeah, and so that's that is history being
Speaker 5: made in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shout out to Frank Scott.
Speaker 5: They shout out to Bobby for winning that race.
Speaker 2: Who cares about truth.
Speaker 1: In the last morning, well some more history was made
Speaker 1: in in UH in the state of Texas, as in
Speaker 1: a very last minute effort, chaos broke out and one
Speaker 1: of the home districts of one of the leading candidates
Speaker 1: for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate.
Speaker 2: Of course, that's none other than.
Speaker 3: Rockett.
Speaker 1: I'm like our congressman, women, I like, I'm claiming her
Speaker 1: as my congresswoman, but she's Texas's UH.
Speaker 2: And Dallas is her home district.
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett a very capable and unapologetic leader within the party,
Speaker 1: but just a leader and a good person period. Was
Speaker 1: against represented tall Rico, state state Representative tul Rico there
Speaker 1: in in in Texas. And apparently, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if y'all were able to follow this on election night,
Speaker 1: but but the normal order of events and the state
Speaker 1: of Texas during primaries and Florida's not like this, so
Speaker 1: I wasn't really familiar with this structure, but that basically
Speaker 1: the parties can agree that basically any voter Republican or
Speaker 1: Democrat can go to a supersite rather than to their
Speaker 1: neighborhood polling precinct and cast a vote consistent with what
Speaker 1: their respective precinct ballots would have looked like. And a
Speaker 1: last ditch effort, Republicans decided that they were not going
Speaker 1: to consent to the super sites, as had been the
Speaker 1: customary practice for I heard people interview say, for as
Speaker 1: long as they can remember being right, so this is
Speaker 1: what they've done for as long as they can remember voting.
Speaker 2: And in this.
Speaker 1: Particular race, a race where all of the legislative seats
Speaker 1: in congressional seats in the United States or in this case, Texas's.
Speaker 2: Congressional delegation all those seats were up in all of them.
Speaker 1: Many of them, particularly in black communities, have been redistricted,
Speaker 1: which means people have for different people, likely.
Speaker 2: Than they voted the last time.
Speaker 1: And Angela correct me from home, but the Secretary of
Speaker 1: State decided that they were not going to update the
Speaker 1: state's website that gives people the information on where it
Speaker 1: is that they can go and vote. It just shook
Speaker 1: me as very strange to come so late into the
Speaker 1: voting process and into the counting process that this whole
Speaker 1: thing erupted with Kim Paxton, a candidate for the US
Speaker 1: Senate on the Republican side, out of last minute effort
Speaker 1: weighing in to basically eliminate the cushion of additional hours
Speaker 1: that Democrats were given to go and vote because of
Speaker 1: this chaos that they created.
Speaker 6: A court order suggested that the post they opened longer
Speaker 6: because of all of the chaos, people being told to
Speaker 6: go to one precinct only to be redirected to another.
Speaker 6: And Kim Paxton, obviously as a direct conflict of interest
Speaker 6: being on the ballot, but the Supreme Court cited with
Speaker 6: Kim Paxton throwing things into full disarray. There's a statement
Speaker 6: that was put out by Jasmine Crockett. Christopher Boozy tweeted
Speaker 6: he said, the voter suppression happening in Dallas County, I
Speaker 6: believe we have that statement. The voter suppression happening in
Speaker 6: Dallas County is a barrant. The Crockett campaign has put
Speaker 6: out a statement, and I have yet to see a
Speaker 6: statement from Tylerico denouncing what we are witnessing.
Speaker 3: His silence speaks volumes.
Speaker 6: Included here was Jasmin Crockett statement that talks about the
Speaker 6: ways in which the GOP was kind of playing and
Speaker 6: I think that folks saw this a ays oh see,
Speaker 6: Democrats are now saying that we do need to save Act. No,
Speaker 6: we don't, but what we do need is for racism
Speaker 6: to die in the South and everywhere else. I also
Speaker 6: wanted to flag a couple of things about this race,
Speaker 6: and then I'll just yield the floor to everybody else
Speaker 6: to weigh in. There was a post put up by
Speaker 6: Ruters and Routers posts on x Let's pull that says
Speaker 6: Republican Jasmine Crockett said confusion during the dow was primary
Speaker 6: led to voter disenfranchisement, with polls initially extended by court
Speaker 6: order but later limited by the Supreme Court as we
Speaker 6: were just discussing. What's interesting to me here is Ruters
Speaker 6: getting Jasmin Crocketts.
Speaker 3: This is Ruters.
Speaker 6: This isn't like random Joe blow blog posted Republican Jasmin Crockett.
Speaker 6: Jasmincrockett is obviously running in the Democratic was running in
Speaker 6: the Democratic primary. The next thing I wanted to pull
Speaker 6: is this, because I think this is where we are now.
Speaker 6: Before the race was even called last night, y'all, there
Speaker 6: were people who were James Talerico supporters urging everyone to
Speaker 6: get behind James Tolerco. The Progressive chair in Congress said
Speaker 6: you know, he was a generational leader and it's time
Speaker 6: to get behind him. But this particular tweet stood out
Speaker 6: to me because Dan Green says, again before the races
Speaker 6: even called for James Tolerco, quote mark my words. If
Speaker 6: James Tolerico does the unthinkable and somehow flips Texas blue again,
Speaker 6: he went out the primary. Yet, y'all, he will be
Speaker 6: a leading contender for the Democratic nomination for president in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty eight. Why am I bringing this up? I
Speaker 6: don't know about y'all. Bacari and Andrew y'all have won statewide.
Speaker 6: Andrew I ran, I ran.
Speaker 3: Yes, So let me cook, my g let me cook.
Speaker 6: Yes, you won state wide in a primary, you ran
Speaker 6: state wide and in general Andrew as I was getting
Speaker 6: ready to say, you were the closest contender to a
Speaker 6: Democratic governor that Florida's had in a.
Speaker 3: Long, long, long, long long time.
Speaker 6: And I'm just saying this because I'm triggered watching this.
Speaker 6: I can't imagine how you all are feeling, knowing how
Speaker 6: black people have to show up to even be considered
Speaker 6: qualified to run statewide.
Speaker 3: So I just was very triggered last night.
Speaker 6: There were a lot of people saying a lot of
Speaker 6: mean things about Jasmine. You know, people going back into
Speaker 6: I'm not even gonna name the commentator saying where's the
Speaker 6: ghetto speak now? The racism, the things they said about her.
Speaker 6: There are fair critiques to be raised about Jasmine's operation,
Speaker 6: a Jasmine's strategy on whether or not that would advance
Speaker 6: her to a general election or not. Fine, but the
Speaker 6: ad hominem attacks the way that she speaks, the way
Speaker 6: that she dresses, the way that she wears her hair,
Speaker 6: the policies that she implements. Whether or not it is
Speaker 6: fair to say that there is a tremendous amount of
Speaker 6: light between her position and James Talerco's position on Israel.
Speaker 6: All of that, to me, policy conversations are fair, but
Speaker 6: the way in which they are held and the way
Speaker 6: in which they lie about Jasmine's policy positions, it's.
Speaker 3: A whole other thing. It's a whole other thing.
Speaker 6: I really would love I want to hear from all
Speaker 6: of you, But I thought of you all immediately because
Speaker 6: I was so triggered. I was like, I can't imagine
Speaker 6: how the guys feel about this.
Speaker 3: This is nuts. And well that was actually name checked
Speaker 3: and brought into the conversation.
Speaker 6: I know we're going to focus on more of that
Speaker 6: in our mini pot but this room for all of
Speaker 6: y'all at this table.
Speaker 2: I.
Speaker 5: That that that tweet didn't bother me because there, I
Speaker 5: think that the question is still outstanding of whether or
Speaker 5: not James Tillarica is a generational talent or he's Beto
Speaker 5: oroor and that question.
Speaker 3: Or not even Beto.
Speaker 2: I mean that could be that, that could be the answer.
Speaker 2: That could be it as well.
Speaker 5: I mean I also think that Texas is and always
Speaker 5: has been Fool's goal, and I think that this falls
Speaker 5: into that same category and instead of spending money in Ohio,
Speaker 5: where we actually have a better chance of winning. With
Speaker 5: shared uh, we are going to spend hundreds of millions
Speaker 5: of dollars in Texas, and we would have done that
Speaker 5: with or without. I think that everything Angela said should
Speaker 5: be stamped as valid and one hundred percent true. In
Speaker 5: the way that Jasmine ran her race, in the way
Speaker 5: that she was criticized unfairly, and the hoops that black
Speaker 5: women in particular and black folk have to run through statewide,
Speaker 5: I also think there needs to be space to say,
Speaker 5: as a very critical and I'm glad I'm able to
Speaker 5: say this today, she ran a very shitty campaign in comparison,
Speaker 5: and when we talk about the mechanics of what a campaign,
Speaker 5: mechanics of what a campaign should look like, and what
Speaker 5: I mean by is what happened last night, if you
Speaker 5: look at the numbers, is the same thing. And I
Speaker 5: don't mean messaging, I don't mean who she is. I
Speaker 5: mean I ran a shitty campaign for lieutenant governor of
Speaker 5: things I should have done differently. But I do believe
Speaker 5: that she got beat by extremely large margins in very
Speaker 5: small counties, extremely large margins in very small counties. She
Speaker 5: can her election day vote with early voting one of
Speaker 5: the things. And I don't really know what happened, which
Speaker 5: is the norm for Democrats now, which is the norm
Speaker 5: for Democrats, but which means Andrew that I'm not sure
Speaker 5: how the whole thing about who runs that. I saw
Speaker 5: that kind of blurriness on the on social media. Who runs,
Speaker 5: who's running this time, who's running that time? I didn't
Speaker 5: necessarily understand all of that. Who got a chance to
Speaker 5: There was a conversation about James running for this and
Speaker 5: Jasmine running for this, and we were going to run
Speaker 5: for this.
Speaker 2: But that means you have to create a new voter base.
Speaker 5: That means that you have to spend the energy party structure, infrastructure,
Speaker 5: campaign structure to register new voters in places where otherwise
Speaker 5: you offset that cannibalization. And what happened, what we saw
Speaker 5: last night is that the voter suppression is real, right,
Speaker 5: the voter intimidation is real, the racism is real.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But also but also she lost by five points, so.
Speaker 3: He clears million vote.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he cleared a million votes.
Speaker 5: So we're not talking about we're not talking We have
Speaker 5: to have space for this. In my opinion, we have
Speaker 5: to have space for the fact that the voter suppression
Speaker 5: and the racism is real. We have to have conversations
Speaker 5: legitimately about campaign tactics and the way that we tramp,
Speaker 5: that way that we train campaign strategists, the way that
Speaker 5: we campaign, the way that we train our campaigns, the
Speaker 5: way that we change our campaigns.
Speaker 2: We have to have space for all of that. And
Speaker 2: we have to have space to be able to.
Speaker 5: Call out the things that Jasmine went through that others
Speaker 5: would not have to. So I think that there has
Speaker 5: to be space for all three of those. And I
Speaker 5: know people are going to be in the comments and say, well,
Speaker 5: you called her campaign shitty, you not for black women.
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, that's not the case at all. If
Speaker 5: Jazz was here, I want to get a big hug.
Speaker 5: I do want to let me just put a pin
Speaker 5: on a real sick All I want to say is.
Speaker 3: Ask you to go backwards, right, But I just wanted
Speaker 3: you to.
Speaker 4: I'm not as someone who has never ran for anything,
Speaker 4: I just could you be a little bit more clear
Speaker 4: about what made her campaign shitty?
Speaker 5: Like so, I think I don't even know, if I
Speaker 5: don't even think, I don't even think, it probably has
Speaker 5: more to do with the infrastructure that's in place in
Speaker 5: Texas that is replicated at a lot of places, say
Speaker 5: for maybe Florida and certainly Georgia. And what Stacy Abrams
Speaker 5: did for Georgia has people a little bit misconscrewed about
Speaker 5: the way that this thing actually works, because Stacey spent
Speaker 5: tens of millions of dollars going on not a precinct level,
Speaker 5: but a sub precinct level in Georgia, in these counties
Speaker 5: that black folk and Democrats had never gone to, registering voters,
Speaker 5: building precinct chairs, getting them mobilized and activated. That way,
Speaker 5: when a candidate came along, whether or not it's ass
Speaker 5: Off or Warnock or whomever it is, they were able
Speaker 5: to build on the infrastructure that was in place.
Speaker 2: And so my criticism of jazzmine.
Speaker 1: Barack Obama did the same thing, except he had to
Speaker 1: fast forward it because the.
Speaker 2: Correct he did it and then and then he kind
Speaker 2: of destroyed it later.
Speaker 5: But that's a who whole other Yes, but that's.
Speaker 2: A whole other But that's a whole other thing. But
Speaker 2: but my point is, theory is still the same. The
Speaker 2: theory is.
Speaker 5: Still the same, and so what Barack Obama did to
Speaker 5: Andrew's point. What Stacey did, to my point is that
Speaker 5: she built a whole new voter block. She educated those voters,
Speaker 5: She gave them the tools necessary to mobilize their own environments.
Speaker 5: And because Jasmine is the last one to run, I
Speaker 5: attribute that to her campaign. Now, Jasmine may tell you
Speaker 5: differently that this is a function of the Texas Democratic
Speaker 5: Party of.
Speaker 2: Course, of course, and it may be both or maybe
Speaker 2: one of the other. I don't know that. It's definitely
Speaker 2: why parties exist. That's why parties exist, but I will
Speaker 2: tell you that. But candidates and outside entities have done
Speaker 2: that before. Is my only point. And that's a lot
Speaker 2: to ask.
Speaker 5: And that's why I also prefaced in my camp and
Speaker 5: my rant that I don't know what went into who's
Speaker 5: running for what, how we're going to do this, because
Speaker 5: I see that kind of percolating. But I think that, like,
Speaker 5: I love Jasmine and I just really want to have
Speaker 5: a conversation with people that take emotions out of everything,
Speaker 5: and like, how do we campaign better?
Speaker 2: Is my only point of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, you don't have to annotate every
Speaker 1: coming with how you love her, because I think we're
Speaker 1: a tour and we should be able.
Speaker 2: To say for sure, and that's funny to understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think we should be able to call a thing
Speaker 2: a thing.
Speaker 1: The truth is is that that kind of infrastructure level
Speaker 1: building is what parties exist for now. If Texas is
Speaker 1: anything like Florida, I know that struggle very well, that
Speaker 1: that isn't what parties have been able to afford and
Speaker 1: off cycles. And so when candidates come in to six
Speaker 1: like hours, and I would say Texas is similar, you
Speaker 1: have to be prepared to not just run your own campaign,
Speaker 1: but you've got to build your own voters on the
Speaker 1: way to running your own campaign. And given the point
Speaker 1: at which she decided to enter this race, it could
Speaker 1: have been a far gone conclusion that she was not
Speaker 1: going to have the time or resources necessary to build
Speaker 1: the back end infrastructure that would allow her to emerge.
Speaker 2: The ultimate winner in the race.
Speaker 1: Tylerico didn't necessarily need that because the default registration my
Speaker 1: guess is amongst white, amongst the Texas Democrats is that.
Speaker 2: They probably got a lot of liberal whites.
Speaker 1: There are is a is a good strong black and
Speaker 1: probably black female constituency, and then they have the Latinos
Speaker 1: in South Texas and along the border that was very,
Speaker 1: very very helpful to him, And looking at the map,
Speaker 1: I know what it feels like to not have that
Speaker 1: help as a black candidate in Florida, seeing the numbers
Speaker 1: flee from me and the Hispanic vote the way that
Speaker 1: I saw that showed up for Hillary Clinton. But we're
Speaker 1: not there two years later and in my race, and
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta get to that at some point,
Speaker 1: and we may not be the ones. We may need
Speaker 1: to bring folks of the community in to talk about
Speaker 1: what happened there. Because after the race, I sat down
Speaker 1: in Orlando with a ground table of Latino leaders and
Speaker 1: the stuff that they were telling me, that was being
Speaker 1: said about me on the the WhatsApp channels and all
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. I mean, I was like, I
Speaker 1: was worried about racism with white folks. I didn't know
Speaker 1: what had to be had to be dealt with here
Speaker 1: in that way, and I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 1: want to cast a total and complete expersion here.
Speaker 2: We have won the majority of Latinos, there's no doubt.
Speaker 1: But but but there are real hurdles for black folks
Speaker 1: competing for the Democratic Latino vote in UH in places
Speaker 1: like Florida and Texas.
Speaker 2: I will say this, I think that she.
Speaker 1: Of course as a talent, but the party was faced
Speaker 1: with the choice, and I think she I think the
Speaker 1: choices will stark.
Speaker 2: It is her theory of change was. The way we
Speaker 2: are going to win.
Speaker 1: Texas is we have to deepen into our net true
Speaker 1: constituency and give those voters who have chosen that not
Speaker 1: to show up and show out because they had no
Speaker 1: reason to that. The numbers are there, but they were
Speaker 1: not simple. They simply have not been motivated to get
Speaker 1: out there and vote for a candidate because nobody has
Speaker 1: inspired them to believe that when you send me there,
Speaker 1: I'm there for you.
Speaker 2: I'm your person. When you send me, you sending us.
Speaker 1: She felt like she had the ability to motivate and
Speaker 1: inspire the base of the Democratic Party to show up
Speaker 1: in numbers that are that are are impressive enough to
Speaker 1: win that state in a state wide election, assuming that
Speaker 1: Republicans would be disaffected enough not to vote for the Democrat,
Speaker 1: but not to vote at all, not to vote at all.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I ran on the same thing
Speaker 1: in the Democratic primary in.
Speaker 2: Florida, and you will make a church away from winning.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the primary. Oh, I'm talking about the
Speaker 2: primary because you've got to People.
Speaker 1: Always say, oh, well, if she wins a primary, she
Speaker 1: not going to be able to No, no, no, let
Speaker 1: me tell you this.
Speaker 2: You've got a win. In order to win the general.
Speaker 2: You gotta win the primary first. And if you can't
Speaker 2: win a primary, I don't trust you to win a general.
Speaker 2: So so that was her theory of change.
Speaker 1: His theory of change was, we are a loving and
Speaker 1: open enough party.
Speaker 2: Forget the party.
Speaker 1: We're an open and enough people that we've got room
Speaker 1: for Republicans, Independents, Democrats, no party of feelings, whoever you are.
Speaker 2: Let's unite under this banner of love.
Speaker 1: And his theory is that there will be enough Republicans
Speaker 1: that he will be able to convert to vote for him.
Speaker 1: That will make up for the absence of a motivated
Speaker 1: Democratic core base. And I would say that is black voters.
Speaker 1: So for what they won't show up for him? If
Speaker 1: they assuming they I hope they do. But but if
Speaker 1: his calculus, their math was if I can't inspire them
Speaker 1: at the same level as she can, I will make
Speaker 1: up the difference by getting Republicans to vote for me
Speaker 1: and my Christian neo Christian.
Speaker 6: Tired logic using to lose race after race. Linda, you
Speaker 6: have now waited in here some of you.
Speaker 3: No, that's fine.
Speaker 4: I My comment is actually going to be about James
Speaker 4: because his his outward whatever he campaigned on. I don't
Speaker 4: trust him as far as I can throw him because
Speaker 4: of what he allowed his campaign to do to Jasmine. Like,
Speaker 4: I feel like people often give these outward messages of
Speaker 4: togetherness and all these things, But what your camp in
Speaker 4: a primary? What your camp, what's your party? What your
Speaker 4: camp is willing to do to another candidate if it's
Speaker 4: steeped in racism. It's still Unfortunately, the people of Texas
Speaker 4: don't have an option. They have to choose him in
Speaker 4: this race against a Republican because that's what we want
Speaker 4: at the end of the day. But it still feels
Speaker 4: like we're still having to choose a lesser of two
Speaker 4: evils or whatever, because we watched to perpetuate this this
Speaker 4: thing against this black woman and shitty campaign. Though it
Speaker 4: may have been given whatever reason or the next, they
Speaker 4: still did it to her. They still allowed all these
Speaker 4: things to work in their face for him to win.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just I'm sorry I'm Tallerrico because I
Speaker 2: didn't know him. I didn't be from.
Speaker 3: Tom Adams castin be twenty eight nominee.
Speaker 1: The reason why, and I'm highly suspicious of candidate's period.
Speaker 1: I'm highly substicious of politicians spirit because I've been there
Speaker 1: in that, and I've there are spaces I won't even
Speaker 1: don't even want to go in anymore, because you feel seed,
Speaker 1: you know, once you walk.
Speaker 2: Into the room.
Speaker 1: I have been optimistically skeptical, but there are things that
Speaker 1: have gotten the way of it which were one the
Speaker 1: the the gumption you must feel as a young white
Speaker 1: man to refer to a black man as a mediocre
Speaker 1: candidate for Congress, right, So to let that cross your
Speaker 1: lips in this day and age, given your profile, I
Speaker 1: was wondering what was going on. Number two, to the
Speaker 1: same point you made the kind of tack in the
Speaker 1: way in which she was skewed in a paid advertising
Speaker 1: way by the opposition. And then third, I got to
Speaker 1: say on election night when Jasmine, within moments of learning
Speaker 1: about the Supreme Court's stay on the Court's decision, got
Speaker 1: out in front of the cameras and she didn't blame him,
Speaker 1: She didn't talk about a conspiracy these She said, this
Speaker 1: is what Republicans do, right, So she kept the thing
Speaker 1: the thing, the target.
Speaker 2: The target was the opposing party.
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, if this man has a brain,
Speaker 1: and if he's got people who are smart advisors around him,
Speaker 1: they would be telling him right now. You have the opportunity,
Speaker 1: given where we sit right now, to be magnanimous. You
Speaker 1: should go out in front of the camera and say,
Speaker 1: while I would love tonight for one of us to
Speaker 1: be able to declare victory, no one within our party
Speaker 1: can declare victory until every single vote legally cast is counted.
Speaker 6: He's said that he didn't, but this is the test.
Speaker 1: This is the test when you were less certain about
Speaker 1: how South Texas numbers were.
Speaker 2: Going to roll in, when you didn't know what that
Speaker 2: was going to look like.
Speaker 1: As a Democrat, and given what your propaganda, what your
Speaker 1: message has been, you have to believe at the beginning
Speaker 1: and the end of the day, every goddamn vote must count,
Speaker 1: especially in the Democratic primary against Jasmine Crockett. You gotta
Speaker 1: say that. And the fact that it came at the
Speaker 1: end of the night, after he begged his supporters not
Speaker 1: to leave the room because he was coming out one
Speaker 1: way or another, and that one way or another meant
Speaker 1: to me that they were hedging.
Speaker 2: They were hedging on how far he could go with
Speaker 2: his statements.
Speaker 1: So his statement was he said what I what the
Speaker 1: with the big picture is, which is kind of a vote,
Speaker 1: But it was the most benign way in which a
Speaker 1: thing can be said. And all I'm saying is given
Speaker 1: what his posture was when when when the news came out,
Speaker 1: he could have gained signficantly, I think with the Black
Speaker 1: community had in that moment he come out and say
Speaker 1: this thing, this thing matters, and I wish I could
Speaker 1: declare victory or one of us could, but not tonight,
Speaker 1: not until every vote is counted.
Speaker 5: Well, I was going to say three things, but I
Speaker 5: was going to try to end on a lighter note.
Speaker 5: But go ahead, Angela, because I was, well, I might as.
Speaker 6: Gonna be complimentary too, because what I don't want our
Speaker 6: your sister to hear from the show is just critique,
Speaker 6: especially in your hardest moment, like you know, when Andrew ran,
Speaker 6: I feel like there were days where I took it
Speaker 6: harder than him because because right now I still don't understand,
Speaker 6: but I want to be very clear as of right now,
Speaker 6: when ninety seven percent of votes counted, Jasmine garnered one million,
Speaker 6: sixty seven and thirty eight votes. That is a formidable Yeah,
Speaker 6: you know, a formidable I just let me make my point.
Speaker 6: That's a formidable candidate. If Jasmine were running outside of Texas,
Speaker 6: Jasmine's ass will.
Speaker 3: Be senator of a lot of other different places.
Speaker 6: And I think the thing that this moment requires of
Speaker 6: us is not to start pointing blame. Yes, again, there
Speaker 6: are things that we in our lives as human beings,
Speaker 6: can do different.
Speaker 3: There are things that we can do different in our places.
Speaker 6: Of work, from when she announced to where she got.
Speaker 3: That is to be commended.
Speaker 6: What Jasmine has done in the House of Representatives, to
Speaker 6: be courageous, to have to stand up in the face
Speaker 6: of a fascist, even getting fit for a bullet proof vest.
Speaker 6: Jasmine is to be commended. For every little black girl,
Speaker 6: little black boy, little Asian child, little white child that
Speaker 6: she has inspired in all of the elders.
Speaker 3: That is to be commended. I don't want that lost
Speaker 3: upon us.
Speaker 6: Yes, we can do post mortem, Yes we can figure
Speaker 6: out what needs to be done better. But I don't
Speaker 6: want to see her just go and become a private citizen.
Speaker 3: Sister. I know that's where you leaning, but you are an.
Speaker 6: Important voice in public service, and I just hope that
Speaker 6: you use this to continue to push forward. I would
Speaker 6: love to see her, as you said, McCary, start to
Speaker 6: build the type of ground game that Stacey did in
Speaker 6: tandem with some other black organizations like New Georgia Project and.
Speaker 3: Black Voters Matter as well.
Speaker 6: I would love to see and I'm not saying that
Speaker 6: that those apparatus do not exist in Texas. I would
Speaker 6: like to see them strengthen. I would like to see
Speaker 6: that happen in Arkansas. I want to see it in Mississippi.
Speaker 6: I want to see it in Louisiana. I want to
Speaker 6: see it all throughout the South, South Carolina, North Carolina
Speaker 6: to continue to grow, because while we're building that, they
Speaker 6: are shutting down precincts on our kids' campuses.
Speaker 3: So we have to we have to be clear about
Speaker 3: that as well.
Speaker 6: If Jasmine was not up against white people saying well,
Speaker 6: we need to vote for the electable candidate, if she
Speaker 6: were not up against polling precincts being said, being told
Speaker 6: they're going to stay open un till nine and instead
Speaker 6: they close back at seven because y'all. We're sending people
Speaker 6: all types confusion and they couldn't even figure out where
Speaker 6: they could go to vote on the Secretary of State's website.
Speaker 6: We have to be clear that in spite of all
Speaker 6: of that, she came to into a very close second numerically,
Speaker 6: maybe not percentage wise.
Speaker 4: I think it's that she should give Yeah, I saw
Speaker 4: the number two.
Speaker 7: Yeah I was.
Speaker 4: That's one hundred and forty thousand candidates, and just to
Speaker 4: sum it all up here, we see once again, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, votes. Once again, we are very close to
Speaker 4: We're showing that we could literally win if we didn't
Speaker 4: have all these impediments.
Speaker 1: But that's all that's I apologize because I was. I
Speaker 1: took it as default, and I shouldn't because as as
Speaker 1: a candidate, by.
Speaker 2: Having run myself that.
Speaker 1: Jasmine was not only eminently qualified for the post that
Speaker 1: she was seeking, she got out there every single day
Speaker 1: since she has arrived in Congress fighting, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: every single day, not just for her district, not just
Speaker 1: for her state, she has fought for the nation and
Speaker 1: on FO. Fortunately, we still live in a society, and
Speaker 1: this society there's no party affiliation to to cure anybody
Speaker 1: from the symptoms of this that white supremacy is real.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, Tyler. I wish him well.
Speaker 1: I also wish him deepening into.
Speaker 3: He needs another seniors well.
Speaker 1: His philosophy and his and his actions have to meet
Speaker 1: what you say must meet.
Speaker 2: Uh. Those two. But the other thing is is that.
Speaker 1: If there is sadness by people in Texas for having
Speaker 1: lost your fighter, champion member of Congress who was was
Speaker 1: was all the way down to do what was ever,
Speaker 1: whatever was required obviously helped to prop her up on
Speaker 1: her leaning side, and we would be here to do
Speaker 1: it and any day of the But Jasmine isn't done,
Speaker 1: and so she can't be put out to pasture. She
Speaker 1: needs to now be shrouded in the encouragement, embrace bosom
Speaker 1: of the community and not just black folks, but the
Speaker 1: community of Texas that she has gone out there and
Speaker 1: sacrificed and fought for and it still is fighting for
Speaker 1: in this moment, to let her know not just speak
Speaker 1: things into her, but to sow them into her. If
Speaker 1: a consultancy and a job and this and a stretit
Speaker 1: was necessary to hold her over until her heart can
Speaker 1: become clear.
Speaker 2: About what she wants to do. Then you do that.
Speaker 1: Thing, because I'm sick of the usury. This is why
Speaker 1: I've been so obstinate about.
Speaker 2: Okay, Andrew, you need to get back into the da da.
Speaker 1: I have a thing on my shoulder because now it
Speaker 1: is you again.
Speaker 2: You want me to be in service too. And when
Speaker 2: I needed and couldn't.
Speaker 1: Even form the words to express my need, it was
Speaker 1: me and the wall, yeah, and the breathing, living bodies
Speaker 1: in the confines of my home. So I can imagine
Speaker 1: that one of the thoughts that she is speaking to
Speaker 1: herself is I am only useful when I am in
Speaker 1: service to you, my God. And what she should know
Speaker 1: is she is useful every day of the week, in
Speaker 1: and out the week in twenty four seven seven day whatever.
Speaker 2: She's such a gift. I know God is going to
Speaker 2: continue to move in a mighty way.
Speaker 1: And it may not be clear today, but the clouds
Speaker 1: will clear and it will become.
Speaker 2: Obvious and irresistible what the thing is.
Speaker 1: But if nothing else, y'all stop using putting us down
Speaker 1: as tools to be used for an assignment of your choosing.
Speaker 1: And then when when my ambition makes itself manifest, you
Speaker 1: have counted me out before I've begun, because that isn't
Speaker 1: the way in which you thought this tool supposed to
Speaker 1: be used. And that is my biggest peeve about the race,
Speaker 1: is that people decided the boxes she was supposed to
Speaker 1: fit in, and when she decided that there were no
Speaker 1: borders around her gifts is when they had to kick
Speaker 1: in and remind her that those there are borders. There
Speaker 1: are levels to this, and there are conditions that must
Speaker 1: be met before such and such and such, or quite frankly,
Speaker 1: that isn't what we see for you. This is the
Speaker 1: thing that you were really good at, and I just
Speaker 1: wish you would have gone back to do that thing.
Speaker 6: I'm glad Line has a whole video of breaking down
Speaker 6: the massagyn Or and this race, because I want to
Speaker 6: talk about that and whether or not we think Barack
Speaker 6: Obama called Jasmine and tell her good job based on
Speaker 6: his fervent support for James Tollerico.
Speaker 3: But I digress, b I think you were going to
Speaker 3: take us all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we're now at the point of the point.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, call action. I can lean into that. I
Speaker 2: think that what.
Speaker 5: People outside of the body politics realizes that the ceiling
Speaker 5: that's placed to plum black folk is that glass ceiling
Speaker 5: is a lot thicker and harder than people imagine. And
Speaker 5: you know I ran in fourteen Andrew what you were?
Speaker 5: You eighteen eighteen? Stacey was eighteen. There was a young
Speaker 5: man Tyson, you represent their state down in Louisiana throughout
Speaker 5: the South. And Jasmine Crockett is another name that chipped
Speaker 5: away at the glass. And I think Jasmine will know it,
Speaker 5: needs to know and feel that the the person who
Speaker 5: finally shatters that glass, it'll be because of people like
Speaker 5: Jasmine Crockett and Andrew Gillam and Stacy Abrams and the
Speaker 5: many others who put themselves out there.
Speaker 2: That's first.
Speaker 5: And my last point about what we saw yesterday is
Speaker 5: that to bring a little joy to your hearts. There
Speaker 5: were four black Republican congressmen. Wesley Burgess I believe was
Speaker 5: one of their names. Up, I just gave him a name,
Speaker 5: you tying Donald's John James, Wesley Hunt and Burgess. Byron
Speaker 5: Donalds is now reverend for governor of Florida. James is
Speaker 5: leaving a run for governor of Michigan. Wesley Hunt the
Speaker 5: little ball head no offense. Andrew Guy lost his bid
Speaker 5: for the Senate in Texas and now we.
Speaker 6: Just have came in a distant third place, beca sneeze
Speaker 6: on a million votes.
Speaker 5: So right now, right now, you're just down the one
Speaker 5: I will say, my call to action is is a lot,
Speaker 5: like Jasmine Crockett, be the very best, particularly black folk.
Speaker 5: I know we have to be exceptional, but the young
Speaker 5: people listening, go out and be the very best that
Speaker 5: you can be. She exhibited that throughout her career. Jasmin
Speaker 5: Crockett puts me in the mind state of woman that
Speaker 5: I've been thinking about a lot over the past two
Speaker 5: weeks that I got the chance to know named Cheryl Mills.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, who is the none other than the general
Speaker 5: counsel been the best friend and confidant and lawyer for
Speaker 5: the Clintons. And many people just actually found out who
Speaker 5: she was or that she existed this week as she
Speaker 5: was shepherding Bill and Hillary through there through their testimony.
Speaker 5: But Jasmine reminds me of missus Bill's a lot, and
Speaker 5: that they are really really exceptional. They take no shit,
Speaker 5: and they really really get at their jobs. And so
Speaker 5: if I can be a lawyer, I don't mind people
Speaker 5: saying that. Butcary, you remind me of Miss Sheryl. I
Speaker 5: think that would be that would be a hell of
Speaker 5: a compliment. So, young people, call to action, be extraordinary,
Speaker 5: be the best you can be, and even in your
Speaker 5: losses sometimes you know, those things turn out to be blessings.
Speaker 6: I would like to say, yeah, I guess it's the
Speaker 6: call to action. I would like to say my call
Speaker 6: to action is responding to this James Tolerico text.
Speaker 3: I just received. It's James Tolerico.
Speaker 6: Our movement one, but flipping this seat will take everything
Speaker 6: we have. Please become a Day one donor. How did
Speaker 6: you get my number? Have your campaign apologize jazzmin first,
Speaker 6: and then let's talk be well.
Speaker 1: Off.
Speaker 3: That's my call to action.
Speaker 6: Tell them to hold themselves accountable. I believe in mutual accountability,
Speaker 6: y'all on this podcast where regularly my anxiety shows up
Speaker 6: and most times my dear brothers are like, calm down,
Speaker 6: will be fine. But ninety minutes into this podcast, my
Speaker 6: anxiety is right, but I.
Speaker 3: Still will be mutually accountable. I love y'all.
Speaker 2: I love you. Back the BVVVVV outcast.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm actually sick of being exceptional, but that's a temporary feeling.
Speaker 4: I just say that because I'm sick of being exceptional
Speaker 4: in spaces that are going to try to check track
Speaker 4: my exceptionality at the very last minute once they figure
Speaker 4: it out, try to put something in front of me
Speaker 4: to prevent me from succeeding. So with that said, I
Speaker 4: just challenge everybody to check on your neighbors and to
Speaker 4: be better neighbors. I'm gonna say it every time I
Speaker 4: get any sort of platform. We gotta knock on each
Speaker 4: other's doors before fascism does we think about it. Canvassing
Speaker 4: is something that politicians do just when they're trying to
Speaker 4: get you to vote for them, But we need to
Speaker 4: be canvassing our own neighborhoods. And I feel like things
Speaker 4: like that make for a stronger case when the Stacey's
Speaker 4: come into our neighborhoods when I don't know who Obama
Speaker 4: had gone in folks neighborhoods. But like when we're trying
Speaker 4: to build a stronger voting block, it's not about party,
Speaker 4: it is about our issues. And I've been sort of
Speaker 4: organizing to myself, I should do better about like working
Speaker 4: with people and sharing my ideas. But the moment I
Speaker 4: get some pushback, that I already expected. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 4: here we go.
Speaker 3: But yeah, like we it has.
Speaker 4: To come from us, Like the change we see has
Speaker 4: to come from the bottom of the government is supposed
Speaker 4: to be empowered by the people, regardless, and we just
Speaker 4: have to.
Speaker 2: Take that power back.
Speaker 1: Hey man, not to mention, they don't let nobody plan
Speaker 1: for them. They plan for themselves. And we got to
Speaker 1: do the same damn thing. I the Texas race and
Speaker 1: what transpired at the very last minute was yet another
Speaker 1: inventive form of voter disenfranchisement and suppression, and voters, we
Speaker 1: have to get ready with a vote plan to anticipate
Speaker 1: the many, many, many ways that may be contrived of
Speaker 1: to get in our way of voting. Something as simple
Speaker 1: as not having an updated website so you can find
Speaker 1: where it is that you go vote, shutting down well,
Speaker 1: by the way, the demand being so great to find
Speaker 1: where they go vote that it shuts the website down,
Speaker 1: both at the state and at the county level. And
Speaker 1: you're telling me you got to pull teeth to get
Speaker 1: us out to vote. You have people craving information on
Speaker 1: how to get to the right place to cast the
Speaker 1: ballot and time so that it could be counted. Why
Speaker 1: do I say it because I think it was partially
Speaker 1: a dry run, and places like Texas and Florida, wherever
Speaker 1: it is that you live, just get on guard about
Speaker 1: how it is you are going to persist to make
Speaker 1: sure that we get out, get.
Speaker 2: Our votes cast legally, and get them counted.
Speaker 1: Because it's clear to me that these folks, you know
Speaker 1: how Bacary prosecutors, when they look they they they they
Speaker 1: see everything through the criminal mind, Like if my intention
Speaker 1: was to do this, but they only see what you
Speaker 1: did through the criminal mind. Well, Republicans under Trump have
Speaker 1: a sinister mind, and when you're you put on the
Speaker 1: sinister mind around how it is you're gonna achieve this
Speaker 1: thing which is keeping us from voting. I mean, God
Speaker 1: knows the myriad ways you can come up with how
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep us from doing it.
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying, this can't.
Speaker 1: Be a roll out of bed, go invote election day
Speaker 1: kind of situation. We have to make a plan, we
Speaker 1: have to execute, and we have to start now because
Speaker 1: the inventiveness of the of their of their maniacal and
Speaker 1: cruel plans require them erecting barriers for us voting in
Speaker 1: order for it to succeed.
Speaker 2: Make a plan.
Speaker 3: Welcome home, y'all.
Speaker 2: Y'all, Welcome home.
