Can you 52 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: explain for those that may not understand how we got 53 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: here first explained to them, and you certainly can introduce 54 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: yourself with any other information that I missed, but explain 55 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: the uh, the process of endorsement, because I think that's 56 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: what a lot of confusion is, and so you can 57 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: explain that in layming terns on what that process is 58 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: and then go into how they stole it from you. 59 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: So thank you so much, Tis, and thank you for 60 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: always uh, as you say, pushing the line and keeping 61 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: people accountable, but also speaking politics in a language that 62 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: people can understand. I think that too often, UH, we 63 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: are high minded when we have these conversations and that 64 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: really the government is supposed to work for all of 65 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: the people. Uh. And so we should be having conversations 66 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: in a way that people can digest. And I think 67 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: you do that better than probably anybody else in the business. UM. 68 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: For me, where we are here in Louisiana, Uh, we 69 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: have a real um problem because a black man being 70 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: a white man for the Democratic endorsement or US Senate 71 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: for the first time in the history of the estate, 72 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: and the chairwoman of the party did everything in her power, 73 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: literally bending rules, going through hoops to end up creating 74 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: this triple endorsement process, which does nothing for the Democratic Party, 75 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: nothing for black voters, progressive voters, white voters that are 76 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: on the Democratic side, to actually defeat John Kennedy or Republicans. Uh. 77 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: So the process here is because Louisiana has what's called 78 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: a jungle primary open UH. In jungle primary, we don't have, 79 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: uh what is traditional closed primaries and other states. So 80 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: all of the candidates run on the same ballot for 81 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: the November eight election. If John Kennedy, who is the incumbent, 82 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: is held under that creates a runoff scenario that makes 83 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: us the last US Senate seat in the country. Uh, 84 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: you end up in the runoff scenario. Democrats have the 85 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: strongest get out the vote game in Louisiana. Uh. And 86 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: that's how we elected John Bell Edwards, a Democrat, our governor, 87 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: not once, but twice. Uh. And so it is a 88 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: realistic thing that a Democratic win in Louisiana. But the 89 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 1: chairwoman told me last October that a black man can't 90 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: win in Louisiana. Uh. She left out that a black 91 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: man can't win because she was gonna do everything in 92 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: her power to stop him from winning. Uh. And so 93 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: the endorsement process is because we don't have a closed primary, 94 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: we have this jungle primary. We used that to say 95 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: which Dimocrat are Democrats going to support? And so the 96 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: Democratic State Central Committee as an executive committee who interviews 97 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: the candidates and makes a recommendation to the Committee of 98 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: the Whole. The Committee of the Whole then has the 99 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: opportunity to give that candidate up or down vote. The 100 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: chairwoman changed these rules in March tess in order to 101 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: ensure that whoever was the endorsed candidate from the executive 102 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: committee would not be able to be challenged because they 103 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: put a caveat in that said that in order to 104 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,559 Speaker 1: submit another nomin need, you had to do so five 105 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: days prior to the endorsement meeting. Well, the executive committee 106 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: meeting was last Tuesday, and the endorsement meeting was Saturday. 107 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: That's not five days between the two. So if I 108 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: had not won the executive committee vote, I would have 109 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: had no recourse in Saturday's meeting. I won the executive 110 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: committee vote, which they did not believe would happen. But 111 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: I want to get a vote nine to seven, which 112 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: means that I was the recommended candidate for endorsement for 113 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. So let me cause right, Let me 114 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: cause right. I want to make sure people are keeping up. 115 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: So in the executive meeting, you won nine to seven 116 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: to endorse you and you alone as the candidate. To 117 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: endorse me and me alone. There was not even a 118 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: recommendation for another candidate. The motion was made to recommend me, 119 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: it was seconded, and the vote was called. The vote 120 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: came nine seven to let me be clear, nine for me, 121 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: seven against me, and to abstained. Okay. And that was 122 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: on what day exactly before, on Tuesday, August and nine Okay. 123 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: Then on Saturday we get to the meeting. Well, four 124 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: before we get to the meeting. Originally we were supposed 125 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: to all speak at the meeting for five minutes. Well, 126 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that this five day rule is in there, 127 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: so I think that I still have to go and 128 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: speak to persuade the members of the body to vote 129 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: for me. Okay, because I think that Mr Mixing could 130 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: be nominated from the floor. In fact, he cannot. And 131 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: so we find this out on Friday. They tell us 132 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: that we're no longer speaking at the meeting. That's that's 133 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: the first thing that they did to to say, Okay, 134 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna start changing the rules. Uh. Then we get 135 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: to the meeting. They take all of the congressional candidates 136 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: and they approved them. Okay, they were all of the 137 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: candidates who were nominated in the four congressional races. They 138 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: gotta up vote. They got their endorsement. Those who were 139 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: approved from the those who were recommended by the Executive 140 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: Committee were endorsed by the body. The chair presided over 141 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: the meeting and they voted on that, and they voted 142 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: on it under the new by laws. Okay. Two seconds later, 143 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: it's time for the US centered race. A black elected 144 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: official walks to the microphone I'm not gonna even say 145 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: a name. And the reason i'm not as because people 146 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: who do stuff like this want you to say their 147 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: name so that they can get some shine off during 148 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: the the enemy's bidding. Uh. But walks to the microphone 149 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: and presents a resolution. The resolution, uh is to endorse 150 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: all three candidates in the race. Now, one of the 151 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: candidates is a sister who's running, who got zero votes 152 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: in the executive committee meeting, so uh, she's she is 153 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: actually a better candidate than the white Democrat in the race, 154 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: but she didn't get any votes in the Executive committee. 155 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: So the only reason they used her was to be 156 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: able to say that it wasn't a racial issue. Okay, 157 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: I just want to make that point, right. We get 158 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: to the resolution being presented and the parliamentarian gets up 159 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: and says what the rules are? Well, the rules say 160 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: that the resolution can't be presented unless it's fifteen days 161 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: prior to the meeting m unless the rule is waived 162 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: at the discretion of the chair. Okay, so let's stop 163 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: right there, just so people follow Lane's terms the resolution 164 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: bottom line. Additionally, and what just happened five seconds before that? 165 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: The recommended candidate that was voting that was voted by 166 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: on by the executive committee says okay, we're going to 167 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: endorse his candidates. It gets to you and all of 168 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: a sudden, a new rule, a renew resolution is presented 169 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: to say no, let's just go with everybody. And typically 170 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: that that paperwork, that resolution has to be in a 171 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: certain amount of time prior to so that false can 172 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: prepare to argue against him, to challenge it, to whatever. 173 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: So they throw a monkey wrench in the game bottom 174 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: line two seconds before and to to prevent endorsing you 175 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: and say let's just endorse everybody. And that decision to 176 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: say yes or no was up to the Democrat chair correct, 177 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: up to the chair, up to the chair on whether 178 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: or not to hear the resolution. He waighed the rules 179 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: and then you have to call a meeting of the 180 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: by laws committee. Taes okay, so they said, is the 181 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: by Laws committee here? Well, the by Laws Committee stands up. Well, 182 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: I start seeing the people that stand up, and I said, okay, 183 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: it looks good for us on the Byelaws committee. By 184 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: Laws Committee goes in the back, they vote, it comes. 185 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: I would have voted five to two to reject the resolution, 186 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: and the resolution. Just so people are following. The resolution 187 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: was all of a sudden resolution to say, let's put 188 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: everybody on the ballot, to put everybody on the thing. Right. 189 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: They come out five to to. The chairman of the 190 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Resolutions Committee gets on the microphone basically and the announcement. 191 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: The chair now that by the rules they still have 192 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: to vote. Okay. The chair calls for the vote, tears 193 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: there are not a hundred people in the room. M hm. 194 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: The vote comes back eighty to forty in favor of 195 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: the resolution being considered. M hmm. The chair pulled fifty 196 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: proxy votes out of her pocket it and that was 197 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: a part of that eight to assigned. And let me 198 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: explain what a proxy vote is. A proxy vote is 199 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: for somebody who is a part of the body of 200 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: the Democratic State Central Committee who misses the meeting and 201 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: assigns their vote to the chair to assign to a 202 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: committee member. Well, the chair assigns the votes to committee 203 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: members who would vote the way that she wanted the 204 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: vote to fall. There were about thirty people in the 205 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: room who agreed with the chair. The chair assigned those 206 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: votes to those voters, and then she called for the vote, 207 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: and the vote been a vote of the people in 208 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: the room. We would have won that vote about forty 209 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: to thirty. Hum. But the chair pulled pocket votes out 210 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: and had her way with the procedures, and then she 211 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: called for the vote. So then they called to hear 212 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: the to debate the matter. Two people get up in 213 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: support of it, and about ten people get up to 214 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: oppose it. She doesn't let everyone speak that wants to 215 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: speak to oppose it. She calls for the vote again. Uh, 216 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: she pulls the votes out of a pocket. She passes 217 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: the resolution, and your journalsy damn le wow. So like 218 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: that they endorsement. Okay, So they not only didn't have 219 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: a chance to vote on approving the resolution, which would 220 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: allow let's just put everybody on the ballot, let's not 221 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: get behind one person and put all of our muscle 222 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: behind one person on damn well, we'll need it. So 223 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: not only did they not allow them, they pulled the 224 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: proxies votes out to approve that resolution. But then individuals 225 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: wanted to speak to be able to say because I 226 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: saw folks speaking saying, we want the opportunity to vote 227 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: for for Jerry Gary Chambers. We should give an up 228 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: and down vote like we do everybody else, and you're 229 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: saying she shut that down and then just move forward 230 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: and said we're just gonna approve every everybody on the battot. 231 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: That's exactly what you did. And for me, you know, 232 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: I would have respected her gangster more if you just 233 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: vote me down, write the votes in your pocket, just 234 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: allow my name to be called, and if you so 235 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: damn bad, just vote me down. But rather, because you're 236 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: a coward and you're being manipulative to try to give 237 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: the impression that you're not manipulating the process, you played 238 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: this all out on tape, and so they even tried 239 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: to stop us from recording. I told him at the 240 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: beginning of the meeting when they said we couldn't record, 241 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: I said, this is a publicly elected body in a 242 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: public building, having a public meeting. You're gonna have to 243 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: put us out if he's gonna tell us, we're not 244 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: gonna record. And so they didn't want us to record 245 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: because they didn't want us to show the world what 246 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: they were doing. And for me, the biggest concern is 247 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: that if you have a party that is six black 248 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: in the state of Louisiana, and that if black voters 249 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: make up thirty per cent of the state to tell 250 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: out me that we gotta have white candidates on the 251 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: on the thing in order for white voters to show up. 252 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: That means that we have a warm perspective of what 253 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: we should be doing. I'm not trying to come to 254 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: racist white ideology. I'm trying to motivate people to be 255 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: better or motivate the people who agree with me to 256 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: show up to vote. And if the truth of the 257 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: matter is in the election that John Kenny won, he 258 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: was elected with five hundred and thirty six thousand votes 259 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: in God, we trust everybody else bring data. He was 260 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: elected with five hundred and thirty six thousand votes. Twenty 261 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: six percent of black voters in uh New Orleans showed 262 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: up to vote in that election, thirty two percent of 263 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: black voters in Baton Rouge and twenty eight percent of 264 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: black voters in shre Fort. What does that mean? Those 265 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: are the three biggest black cities in the state of Louisiana. 266 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: They're the three largest cities, and they're the blackest cities 267 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: in the state. And if twenty something percent of the 268 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: black population is showing up, you're never gonna win a 269 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: Democrat in that election. In the elections where the Democrat 270 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: governor wins, fifty percent of black voters showed up in 271 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: each of those cities. Now, why did black voters stay 272 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: home in that same election because we gave them a 273 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: moderate white Democrat as a candidate that they did not 274 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: want to have as governor who produced a Ronald Green 275 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: situation through state police where a black man was beat 276 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: on the side of the road and the governor did 277 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: nothing about his state police, where black folks are dissatisfied 278 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: with him, and he's leading his endorsement on my opposition. 279 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: And we believe that a part of the chairs reasoning 280 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: for doing this is the party certainly can't endorse a 281 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: black man that is against the governor who's the head 282 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: of the party in the state, and the governor endorsed 283 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: another candidate in that candidate not get the endorsement. Now 284 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: for folks who are who may not follow the the 285 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: nitty gritty of politics and understands the importance of an endorsement, 286 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: because you talked about this on the Breakfast Club as well. 287 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: I know I've talked about at Charlie Manu has talked 288 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: about it. Who have who have said, why don't they 289 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: put money behind the candidates who do have a chance 290 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: to win. Explain what an endorsement means, because we don't 291 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: want people to think that it's just you saying oh 292 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: just like me. Explain how when when the party gets behind, 293 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: because just for those who are new to listening to me, 294 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: I am an independent. I was a Democrat all of 295 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: my life like most black folks. UH. In two thousand 296 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: and ten, after after they lost the House, but with 297 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: Barack Obama in two thousand and ten in Florida, that's 298 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: when I became an independent because of my frustration with 299 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: how they treated black candidates in Florida, how they never 300 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: put those resources behind black candidates, black media, all of 301 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,479 Speaker 1: the get out to vote strategies that I've seen them 302 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: do with other strategy. So that was my reason for 303 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: even you don't have having discussed with the Democrat party. 304 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: So explain to the folks what an endorsement means and 305 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: the money and the power that comes behind that when 306 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: you coalesce an entire party behind the candidate. So so 307 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: tis I'm I'm you in reverse. I when I first 308 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: started voting, I was an independent UH and I registered 309 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: to become a Democrat where Barack Obama ran for president 310 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: because in order to vote for him in the primary, 311 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: I had to be a Democrat. UH. And so I 312 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: became a Democrat because of a candidate, right, an endorsed 313 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: candidate who had one a primary process and or an 314 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: endorsement process. UH. And what comes with the endorsement is 315 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: resources and money from the national level can come into 316 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party that can be applied to that candidate 317 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: to help build out infrastructure. That infrastructure is door knocking, 318 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: its phone banking, it's mailers, it's uh TV advertising, and 319 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: it may not be directly from my campaign, but it's 320 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: in support of our campaign by the Democratic Party. UH. 321 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party can pay for all this space that 322 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: the campaign could. Then you send volunteers to use UH 323 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: in different areas of the spate of the state. That 324 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: would save the campaign money. It's a coordinated effort by 325 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: the party and the candidate to help elect that candidate. 326 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: And where I may have a limit on resources financially 327 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: that someone can give to me, which is twenty nine 328 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, try campaign. You can go to Chambers for 329 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: Louisiana dot com and make a contribution, but the maxill 330 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: contribution is twenty nine dollars. But if you if you're 331 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: a person who wants to give more than that, you 332 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: can then roll over that donation to the party, and 333 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: the party can apply those resources to be helpful to 334 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: the campaign. And so the reason that the establishment fights 335 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: so hard to control the endorsements or the person who 336 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: wins a primary is because they control the money that 337 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: helps win the election. And so Mr Mixing, who is 338 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: my opposition, is polling at eight percent without the endorsement, 339 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: there's no way his name, recognition and whatever get to 340 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: the point of supersede mind. And we're polling at this point, 341 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: and so we are the leading polling Democrat against a 342 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: Democrat who raised less, who raised money at a sore 343 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: paste than we did. And the Democratic Party still says 344 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: that they believe he's somebody that they should bet on. 345 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: Eighty days to the election, and you're gonna tell me 346 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: somebody polling at eight percent got a chance to win, right. 347 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: And let's also talk about because that's important that people 348 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: understand the money that you got it out the mud too, 349 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: like this, that you got out the mud from the 350 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: grassroots level, working on the city and nobody gave me 351 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: nothing that's clear about it. And what what offended me, 352 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: what offended me so much is that the one time 353 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: I win something when I played by your rules, you 354 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: steal it from me. You know, like like every time 355 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: we have come through this process, people have worked their 356 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: hands against us, and the one time we wear you 357 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: say fuck it, We're gonna change the rules in the 358 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: middle of it. And so if you think we're gonna 359 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: be quiet about that, no we're not. We're not. Yeah, 360 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: well so, so bottom line, using a foot and somebody 361 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: tag let me put let me um tag you're putting 362 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: here now, and folks want to donate, I'm putting a 363 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: pin in it down here. So bottom line is, uh, 364 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: they ran an audible. They changed it in the middle 365 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: of the game, literally, and feel free to use that 366 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: on your other They ran an audible in the middle 367 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: of the quarterback was opposed to move the ball and 368 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: they decided to say, let's go in the other direction. 369 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: The problem is you created an audible that don't have 370 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: a chance of making a touchdown. That's the problem. Says 371 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: one thing. If you changed you change the game for 372 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: a better chance to look to win. It's another thing 373 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: when you have an audible and you change the game 374 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: and you're running in the opposite direction. So we just 375 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: want to be clear that the game that you beat 376 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: them once by number one polarly hire that everybody else. 377 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: Number two, you had the folks in the room who 378 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: supported you, You had the votes to vote you by 379 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: the executive committee. You had the folks who were willing 380 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: to stand up and testify and put it in writing 381 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: like the old Blue song, put it in paper on 382 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: your name, and every step along the way they cut 383 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: you at your knees. So we want to be clear 384 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: about this. So when folks ask me, why do you 385 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: criticize the Democrat Party, Well, because of black people vote Democrat, 386 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: whether I like Democrats or not, of black people voters, 387 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: not the population, because we gotta be very clear about 388 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: the population versus the votes of black voters in America 389 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: vote for the Democrat Party. So I criticize it because 390 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that my people, whether they 391 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: get it or not, have an understanding of the house 392 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: that they're living in. Have an understanding that somebody is 393 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: beating on somebody in the house, somebody is abused in 394 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: somebody in the house, somebody or is not taking care 395 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: of their family. And this is a prime example of 396 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: how the game is played and how folks that look 397 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: like us. Let's be very clear, how folks that look 398 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: like us are used against us and not for the 399 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: battlement of the people. Is that a good summarizing some 400 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: summarizing way. I could not have said it better, my sister. 401 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: I think that I think that where we are. You know, 402 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: we're calling for Katie Burne hard to resign um, but 403 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: but beyond that, we are calling for black people UH 404 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: to mobilize behind black candidates who share your values, even 405 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: if the party is working against us. And that's why 406 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: it's so important for us to show up in massive 407 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: numbers to prove them wrong. Because from my perspective, in 408 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: five to teen years, we are going to be the 409 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: majority of the people making these decisions, and so we 410 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: can't wait until we're at that point to begin to 411 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: rare up our engines of understanding how this process works. 412 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: Put some of us in position so that it's more 413 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: of us come in that we have the institutional support 414 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: to be able to make this thing work. I understand 415 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: that this institutional stuff has worked against us, but what 416 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: we understand is we are fighting to get in the 417 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: institution to tear down from the inside, and it took 418 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: in a way that works for the people. I understand 419 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: this broth, but I can't fix it from outside, and 420 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: I ain't really try to fix it. I'm trying to 421 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: get in there and tell everything up in there because 422 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't designed to work for us. I can't fix 423 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: it from out here. There's only so much we can 424 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: do as advocates on the outside. Tess and Tess and 425 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: I can both tell you probably a thousand stories of 426 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: conversations we've had with elected officials about how they should 427 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: vote or what they should say and how they can 428 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: maneuver a thing. But it's another thing to have somebody 429 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: who has the courage to say something and to actually 430 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: cast a vote in favor of the people, no matter 431 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: whether you're gonna be praised or criticized for the vote 432 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: that you take on behalf of people. And so when 433 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: people get out of me, is somebody who doesn't care 434 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: about it being invited to the party. Clearly they don't 435 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: want me in the club anyway. Okay, right, I'm coming 436 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: from you to go do your bidding on behalf of 437 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: the people in those rooms. And that's why they don't 438 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: want me in those rooms. Yeah, and and let me 439 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: and let me double down on that, because I want 440 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: people in the comments to understand that you have a 441 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: role too, because my my mom tel pushed the line 442 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: politics until something happens. Even the logo, it shows each 443 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: person doing their own thing, one person pushing the p 444 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: that you, the s the agent, and the kid on 445 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: the side that's watching. So I tell people, just like 446 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: you said, we need people inside the house. But I 447 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: would also just for clarity, and I know you mean 448 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: you mean the same thing. When you're building a house, 449 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: you have people who are building the interior, who are 450 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: putting in the drywall, who's putting in the conditioning. But 451 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: still there's somebody on the outside laying those bricks. And 452 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: so for those of your family that say I don't 453 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: know where to get in, how do I get in? 454 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: Where I fit in? There is a role for you 455 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: in this process.

Where is 465 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: Jamie Harrison when it's time for him to step in 466 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: and say something is not right? Because I went to 467 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: peak Tom Girl's page and I see a standing up 468 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: there with all the people that I just named. So 469 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: these are the type of things that while people are 470 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: in the comments supporting, what we also need you to 471 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: do is hop on over to the page and ask 472 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: them what's happening and why is it that this this 473 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: has happening.

Not speeches, not stone speeches, not panels, and 487 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: not interviews, but literally what are the tools to build 488 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: the bench that you're talking about. Because yes, we need 489 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: people running for Senate. Yes we need people running on 490 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: the local level. I'm a fan of the local level, 491 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: the city council, county council, the state rep the state Senate. 492 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: But we still need people taking a bite out of 493 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: this US Senate as well. So for those who are said, oh, 494 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: you never had a chance, you shouldn't have did it anyway, 495 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: we have to keep intercepting. I'm really on my football. 496 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: We have to keep intercepting until we win the game. 497 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: And for those who say, all I do it wasn't 498 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: worth it, well, we're looking for soldiers right now. We 499 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: need people who are willing to go the distance, who 500 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: are willing to do what's necessary, and even if it's 501 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: the very simple thing, we're tagging them or calling them 502 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: out or sharing this message, are asking your elected official, 503 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: because I want to be clear. If you're in Louisiana, 504 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: somebody you know it's connected to this. Let's not get 505 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: a twist. The city council state, all of them all 506 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: go to the same party, they all talk, and so 507 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: we need you, guys penetrating that message. You knows you 508 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: you touched on a lot of things that are so important. 509 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: They're One of the things I want to highlight is 510 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: I started as an organizer in my community because there 511 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: were issues in my neighborhood that that I felt like 512 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: we're problematic, and I used my platform to do something 513 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: about that. At We need organizers at every stage of 514 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: this to help undergird the fight. Otherwise were just in 515 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: there talking. You are what makes us valid. Your voices 516 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: in this fight with us make our voices valid in 517 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: those rooms. And so we need you to be able 518 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: to speak up and join us in this. And let 519 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: me tell you something, People being uncomfortable does make them 520 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: move around. Uh you know we I've been to protest 521 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: outside folks house before because we want to get you 522 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: to move on the issue and and and whether or 523 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: not people agree with what those tactics are, I don't 524 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: agree with the tactics that were displayed against me on Saturday. 525 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: And so the quote that I would give folks is 526 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: you played by the rules as long as everybody else 527 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: playing by the rules. But you were fooled to play 528 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: by the rules when they ain't playing by the rules, right, 529 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: That's right. And I want to point this out because 530 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: somebody in the comment said, oh, they're doing to Garrett 531 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: what they did to somebody else. I want to be 532 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: clear about this guy because this is very important. Gary 533 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: beat them at their own game. There are some candidates 534 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: out there that never somebody said they do what they did. 535 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: Nina turn I want to be clear when he turns 536 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: personal friend of mine, and I want to be very 537 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: clear with Nina Turner. They didn't even allow her to 538 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: play the game at all. They shut all that down. 539 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: What I want you to understand what Gary did, which, yes, 540 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: if they were both manipulated, things were manipulated to to 541 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: to hurt their candidacy. But I gotta be I want 542 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: to make a put a pen in this that Gary 543 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: actually won over the executive committee. That's the key. That's 544 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: the key, The exact in that centers her didn't have 545 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 1: to go through the same process we're getting endorsed by 546 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: the Executive Committee. But the d n C made it 547 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: very clear because I was there years ago when they 548 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: told me, an attorney, you'll never run. They told it 549 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: flat out, we will make sure that you lose. Way 550 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: before she put a name on the ballot, you remember 551 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: she brought it up in front of you at THEA, 552 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: she said, and I wasn't telling them like I told 553 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: you so in order to discourage, I was saying, we 554 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: have to prepare for the fact that we know that 555 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: they're coming. That it's not just because we're doing the 556 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: right thing or because we just know that we're gonna 557 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: be able to get votes out. We have to go 558 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: in with the understanding that we know that they're coming. 559 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: And it's not that she didn't know that, but she 560 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: said herself she was surprised when they came for her 561 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: the second time. So I want to point that out 562 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: because a lot of folks compare campaigns and you have 563 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: to understand each candidate is different, each manipulation game is different, 564 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: and they just continue to create audibles like I said, 565 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: or whatever whatever they gotta do. So Gary actually one 566 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: over the Executive Committee. Then you say, for the first 567 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: time ever a black candidate beat a white candidate to 568 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: actually be endorsed by the Democratic Party. So you beat 569 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: them at their own game and they still stopped. It 570 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: is that not acract assessment. And I think the thing 571 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: to really consider in that is is what message we 572 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: send them to young people when we say that you're 573 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: just gonna throw the rules out like that. That that 574 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: for me. The the willingness of the chairwoman to manipulate 575 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: the process the way that she did is why so 576 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: many people don't participate in the process. And I think 577 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: that the way we respond to that is by sending 578 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: a resounding answer to them, to her that she is 579 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: wrong that black a black person can win in Louisiana. 580 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: And esce, I keep this picture right there behind me 581 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: on the wall, and in the middle of that is 582 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: pbn is Oscar Dunn, who was the first black man 583 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: elected lieutenant governor in the state of Louisiana. And all 584 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: of those brothers on that picture were elected to the 585 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: state state offices UH here in Louisiana. In the state legislature, 586 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: they passed some of the first civil rights ordinances, some 587 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: of the first UH public education bills that created Southern 588 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: University and Gramling. Uh. And so a lot of folks 589 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: think that white people did these things in Louisiana, but 590 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: black people did these things in Louisiana. And what it 591 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: was was black people didn't just come off the plantation 592 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: uh and start uh going into commerce. They wouldn't got 593 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: into public office so that they could do something about 594 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: the laws that were written against them. And so if 595 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a successful black ecosystem, it has to 596 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 1: be one that's of commerce, of philanthropy, of the spiritual 597 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: aspect of wellness, and of politics. We we can't and 598 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: and we're trying to turn the politics off because politics 599 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: has worked against us so much. But they don't want 600 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,479 Speaker 1: you to see this picture because ever since this picture 601 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: was created, they have been working to ensure that we 602 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: never get this ship again. That's right. Somebody tag I 603 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: need somebody to add uh the Democrat chairs, So I 604 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: compen that in the comments, please uh somebody put who 605 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: uh Tunisia if you can, that would be great.

So what 632 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: is your next step? So you're continuing to run correct 633 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: or what? What is except in the game, So we're 634 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: still in the race. This doesn't change anything for us 635 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: in the equation. They ain't gonna beat us either way. Uh. 636 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: And we know that we just can't allow this to 637 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: happen without calling it out. We're gonna continue to build 638 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 1: this campaign. We're gonna push though, for Katie to either 639 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: resign or be removed. We're submitting a formal complaint to 640 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: the party, UH, locally and at the national level, because 641 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: we believe that what we saw was egregious there um 642 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: and it's not something that I'm gonna let go. Katie 643 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: should have asked Conny. Katie should have asked those judges 644 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: that we got to design somebody, let's say, asked Connie 645 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 1: come on take the Jay's Boy and some of these 646 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: other folks, because I don't played with white folks who 647 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: played with black folks when we're trying to do something 648 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: to help people. That's it. I'm not We're not I'm 649 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: not against you. I'm not trying to stop you. I'm 650 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: trying to help people, and if you're gonna be an 651 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: impediment to that progress, I'm a steam roll. You did, 652 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: and it is. And and listen as long as Katie 653 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: she told me that a black man couldn't win in private, 654 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: and October of last year, I never said a word. 655 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: I just went to work.

Period. End the discussion. So when 704 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: you've been called for work like this that I'm calling 705 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: up on you because I always say this, and Gary, 706 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the last word. But you know 707 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: I always talk about this when people say, oh, you 708 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: to go, you to go, you to go? What a 709 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: question is? It's not about to go if you for 710 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: those who are believers, because I know you guys know 711 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: that Mr Chambers and an ordained minister, and I'm a 712 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: bootleg passed. I'll be CUsing I go from cousin to 713 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: drink in the preaching. So as all they saying, hey, 714 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: did Jesus say he went to the people, The people 715 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: didn't come to him. So it's important that you guys 716 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: know when you're saying, oh, the goat to go to goat. 717 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,959 Speaker 1: The Bible is really clear about the goat and the sheep. 718 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 1: And people say, you know, separating the tear from the weak. 719 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: But if you go read the New International Version, they 720 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: referred to it as the goat and the sheep. But 721 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: what is the goat? Teslan? I'm glad you asked that question. 722 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: And the Bible that says that the goat will be 723 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: separated from the sheep, and the sheep is not to 724 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: go along to get along. The sheep is not that 725 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: lady that got up and went against you. The sheep is, Gary. 726 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: That is about the shepherd's business for the least of these. 727 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 1: And if you are a belief then there will become 728 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: a time that you're gonna have to answer what did 729 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: you do for the least of these? And the answer 730 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: is not gonna be well. I waited on, Gary, I 731 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: sent in a d M. I waited, old Tesla.

What did you do? And You're gonna have 736 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: to answer now If I'm wrong about it, Gary, I 737 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: guess we don't have nothing worrying about because I'll just 738 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: disappear into existence.
