Speaker 1: Native Land Pod is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership
Speaker 1: with Reasoned Choice Media.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Hey, fam You're about
Speaker 2: to hear a replay of one of our interviews from
Speaker 2: our live stream at the Democratic National Convention. If you
Speaker 2: want to listen to or watch the full stream, check
Speaker 2: out the links in the episode description. You can also
Speaker 2: find a full list of all the guests we interviewed.
Speaker 3: Welcome home, y'all.
Speaker 2: We've been joined by Congresswoman Marsha Fudge, is Secretary the
Speaker 2: Titles Secretary Marsha Fudge as well, who has served as
Speaker 2: the Housing and Urban Development Secretary most recently. She is
Speaker 2: also the co chair of UH Harris Walls UH for President,
Speaker 2: and as Andrew has said, he was kept saying, Madam President,
Speaker 2: I was just at the Midwestern conference for Delta Sigma
Speaker 2: Theater where I got to speak and the love that
Speaker 2: she has as a past president of Delta Si Data
Speaker 2: is beyond.
Speaker 3: And so we are so so happy to see you
Speaker 3: and have you. How are you doing?
Speaker 4: I am wonderful. I would say that you know, I
Speaker 4: don't do interviews. I'm doing with you because I like you.
Speaker 5: I don't do that.
Speaker 6: You did breakfast club before, and you did.
Speaker 3: That's why she ran that thing back.
Speaker 5: Doing the work, that's why you're doing interview.
Speaker 7: I have no time for TV, but I'm so happy
Speaker 7: that you're joining us. You led the Housing an Urban
Speaker 7: Development Agency, cabinet level agency during this administration. I'm curious
Speaker 7: your thoughts because there are a lot of people who
Speaker 7: are very eager to hear specific policy points coming from
Speaker 7: Vice President Harris's campaign. She alluded to some housing policy
Speaker 7: when she did her economic rollout in North Carolina. What
Speaker 7: did you make of the specific points that she made
Speaker 7: about housing?
Speaker 3: Because so many people in our community.
Speaker 7: Generationally, we've had the battle redline communities. Now we're battling
Speaker 7: challenges with banking and financing. I know in Georgia that's
Speaker 7: a big issue. What did you make of her policy
Speaker 7: points and what advice might you offer when it comes
Speaker 7: to home ownership and the policy that she builds around now.
Speaker 8: She wrote them.
Speaker 4: On that list of her I had a little input
Speaker 4: on that.
Speaker 5: I did have some input in it.
Speaker 4: What we are talking about is making sure that we
Speaker 4: can have home ownership we have for so long. You
Speaker 4: said it right, whether it be redlining, whether it be
Speaker 4: the increasing rents. What we know is that housing is
Speaker 4: a crisis in this country, but it is especially a
Speaker 4: crisis in core communities and communities like ours. What are
Speaker 4: you going to hear is how we're going to address
Speaker 4: down payment assistance. What you're going to hear is how
Speaker 4: we can keep people in their homes. What you're going
Speaker 4: to hear is we have started programs. We have actually
Speaker 4: sued appraisers and they have now finally decided that they're
Speaker 4: going to change the way they appraise properties in our neighborhoods.
Speaker 4: We are looking at how we can make more people
Speaker 4: of color red it worthy by not counting double basically
Speaker 4: for student loan, bent credit card. So we are finding
Speaker 4: ways to make an easier process. But in the meantime,
Speaker 4: what we are doing is we are also making it
Speaker 4: easier for people to live in housing that we have
Speaker 4: by assisting with more resources for rent, more resources for
Speaker 4: public housing.
Speaker 5: And the one thing that I'm really, really very.
Speaker 4: Proud of, and she probably won't mention it, but I
Speaker 4: think that you need to know. When I first came
Speaker 4: to HUD, if you had a criminal record, you could
Speaker 4: not live in public houses.
Speaker 5: We changed that. Yes, I the way out the door,
Speaker 5: because we have.
Speaker 6: Secretary of Judge, like, that's something that y'all should be
Speaker 6: making billboards about.
Speaker 5: We should, but you know, sometimes you can't tell people
Speaker 5: what you do it until it's done.
Speaker 4: But now it's done, and so we're telling people because
Speaker 4: it brings families together. If people come out of out
Speaker 4: of incarcerated situations and they have no place to go,
Speaker 4: the rate of citivism goes up really, really hoigh. So
Speaker 4: we're trying to do away with that. But we are
Speaker 4: working very diligently, and you will see something I don't
Speaker 4: want to I don't want to preempt her speech, but
Speaker 4: you are going to see that she is serious about
Speaker 4: housing in this country, whether it's private equity people coming
Speaker 4: in and buying houses up in our community. They literally
Speaker 4: told me that they will buy a house in six minutes.
Speaker 4: They'll make a decision to come into my neighborhood and
Speaker 4: buy a house in six minutes. They put a few
Speaker 4: thousand dollars in it, They raise the rent so that
Speaker 4: the people who live there can't live there anymore. So
Speaker 4: we're dealing with those issues.
Speaker 6: So her speech tomorrow is going to be heavy on
Speaker 6: policy because that's one of the things that you know.
Speaker 6: Listeners were calling in the breakfast club this week saying
Speaker 6: that they don't feel like they're hearing enough policy talk
Speaker 6: here at the DNC. So is she going to focus
Speaker 6: on that heavy Tomorrow?
Speaker 4: She is going to focus on policy and she is
Speaker 4: going to address housing. Wow, not as in depth as
Speaker 4: I have, but you will know that it is a priority.
Speaker 5: And it is a priority.
Speaker 3: I you know.
Speaker 2: One of the things, Misspecial, I think is so important
Speaker 2: is a black woman is running for president. You are
Speaker 2: serving as a black woman campaign co chair, and I
Speaker 2: have never known you to back away from any black issue.
Speaker 2: You are a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus,
Speaker 2: and there are folks who are literally questioning her blackness.
Speaker 2: This aka from Howard University, this prosecutor with the progressive
Speaker 2: record that has always fought for and on behalf of
Speaker 2: black people, black mothers in the Senate. But can you
Speaker 2: please tell the listeners who are somehow still skeptical, the
Speaker 2: viewers who are somehow still skeptical, why this is not
Speaker 2: a question for you at all, Why you're very clear
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 4: Let me let me say first this she's black, and
Speaker 4: in the other one, let's start let's start that, don't
Speaker 4: go from there. When I first met Kamala Harris some
Speaker 4: years ago, the reason we met is because I was
Speaker 4: working in black communities to make sure that my people
Speaker 4: got something out of our vote. And even today, she
Speaker 4: understands I hold this campaign accountable.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 4: I was on a call last week and I was
Speaker 4: asking how much money have we put into our community?
Speaker 4: How many grassroots organization have we given money to?
Speaker 9: That.
Speaker 4: It wasn't a comfortable conversation, but it's a conversation that
Speaker 4: we needed to have, and she made clear to them.
Speaker 4: Give Marcia Funch what she wants because she knows that
Speaker 4: I am her voice for black people, because you know,
Speaker 4: I'm an apologetically.
Speaker 5: Black I said, we do nothing now, and she is
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 4: You know, she has a persona that is going to
Speaker 4: be important for all people. But do not underestimate that
Speaker 4: her blackness, ever.
Speaker 6: Whose secondary for If a black man in Chicago walked
Speaker 6: through you right now, say tell me three tangible things
Speaker 6: that the Biden has administration did over the last you know,
Speaker 6: three and a half years, almost four years, what would
Speaker 6: you say.
Speaker 5: Well, let me start. I can start and give you
Speaker 5: a whole lot of them.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start with getting us out of COVID when
Speaker 4: black people were dying disproportionately of fourteen hundred dollars checks
Speaker 4: child tax credit, where we gave children, every child in
Speaker 4: the family three hundred dollars a month for a whole year.
Speaker 4: That's then I can go to the money that we
Speaker 4: put in education, in healthcare, the fact that we have
Speaker 4: done away with student debt, and I can go on
Speaker 4: and on.
Speaker 5: You want me to do some more answer.
Speaker 7: I think what's so important about that? Though in Charlemae
Speaker 7: to your point, disinformation is readily available. So if people
Speaker 7: have those questions as listed, their accomplishments are listed on
Speaker 7: the Biden the White House website, and I encourage people
Speaker 7: to go and seek information yourself, share information responsibly because
Speaker 7: there's a lot of misinformation and disinformation, specifically, as you
Speaker 7: know charlemage targeted to black men. And speaking of black men,
Speaker 7: we do want to bring into the conversation.
Speaker 4: Joe Biden nominated and confirmed more black women to the
Speaker 4: federal all of the presidents come Bob, not just he
Speaker 4: picked up a black vice president, a black Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 5: And I can go on, but I'm gonna leave it
Speaker 5: team is l before you.
Speaker 8: The reason why that's so important because it's not just
Speaker 8: symbolic because just a black face.
Speaker 10: It's because there's a.
Speaker 8: Collective lived experience that when you're sitting on that bench
Speaker 8: and you look out into the courtroom on the events
Speaker 8: and the prosecution side, and you've grown up understanding that
Speaker 8: there's an over incarceration and over prosecution and over surveillance
Speaker 8: in our community, then you just happen to take a
Speaker 8: different approach. You've seen white judges sit up there at
Speaker 8: the bench and say, if it wasn't for your father, right,
Speaker 8: I would have you in the slammer, because they have
Speaker 8: personal relationship and we don't criminalize that when they have
Speaker 8: personal relationship.
Speaker 6: Judges that kind of humanity when they see us though,
Speaker 6: because a lot of times you see those black judges
Speaker 6: understand they don't have that kind of.
Speaker 7: Public defenders any more, public defenders to be elevated. So
Speaker 7: often we pay an outsize attention to the Supreme Court,
Speaker 7: but the lower courts are also incredibly impactful, specifically specifically
Speaker 7: when it comes to us in a very unforgiving criminal
Speaker 7: justice system. But miss a chair, I know you've been
Speaker 7: trying to get in here so thank you for doing
Speaker 7: it nowth Carolina connection.
Speaker 9: My partner right over there, my Auntie, my aunt secretary.
Speaker 6: You know I executive produced Jamie's documentary in the Bubble.
Speaker 10: In the Bubble, That's right, he did.
Speaker 3: It's the phenomenal film. We did a panel on it
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 10: Jamie.
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you, because I know you
Speaker 2: have to go. He literally carved out a little bit
Speaker 2: of time for us. I want the people to hear
Speaker 2: from you about why this moment, how this moment feels
Speaker 2: to you, what you are expecting tonight.
Speaker 3: We haven't even got into the jendadight.
Speaker 2: We know we'll hear from Tim Wallas tell us all
Speaker 2: the things.
Speaker 9: Well, one one, I want to add something on the
Speaker 9: black judges job and Kamala Harris. Over two hundred judges,
Speaker 9: fifty nine of them may have been black. Now black
Speaker 9: people and I'm doing my black man only represent about.
Speaker 10: Thirteen percent of the populace.
Speaker 9: Fifty nine over that's over twenty five percent of the
Speaker 9: judges he has appointed that have been plagued.
Speaker 10: This is exactly exactly.
Speaker 7: Trump appointed over two hundred white men the lifetime appointments
Speaker 7: on the federal bench.
Speaker 10: That's that's exactly right. But when you think about it,
Speaker 10: he's appointed as.
Speaker 9: The secretary said, more black women to the Pelic Court
Speaker 9: than all presidents combined. And so we got to give
Speaker 9: him credits, right, and we got to say there's still
Speaker 9: more work to do. Yes, But when you think about
Speaker 9: this administration, what they have done is that they have
Speaker 9: transformed things. They even changed the political process. Right all
Speaker 9: of my life, we have started the political process in Iowa.
Speaker 10: New Hampshire. And ain't nothing wrong with Ivory in New Hampshire.
Speaker 10: I love him.
Speaker 9: Good Democrats in that state, but been but not very
Speaker 9: many of us that live in those states.
Speaker 10: But this president and this Vice president said, we got
Speaker 10: to change that.
Speaker 9: If we keep saying that black folks make up the
Speaker 9: heart and the soul in the backbone of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 9: then why are they relegated to the back of the
Speaker 9: bus to choose the next president instead of being at
Speaker 9: the front of us. And that's why Joe Biden, Kamala
Speaker 9: Harris and yours truly at the DNC changed the schedule.
Speaker 9: We moved South Carolina to be the first the state
Speaker 9: where forty percent of enslaved people came through the port
Speaker 9: of Charleston, which exactly where many of their progeny pick cotton.
Speaker 9: Now are the first people to pick the most powerful
Speaker 9: person on the face of the earth. And then he
Speaker 9: added Georgia, and he added Michigan, and he moved up Nevada,
Speaker 9: and as a result of that, for the first time
Speaker 9: in American history, four out of the five early states
Speaker 9: were led by black women.
Speaker 2: Now, Jamison, here's the only thing. Yes, I love that
Speaker 2: you are a foot soldier for the party and you
Speaker 2: are faithful to it. And I love that no matter
Speaker 2: what we try to do, we always hell stapfers. Sir,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need you to take some ownership for some
Speaker 2: of your accomplishments as chair, and I want the folks
Speaker 2: to know about the work that you're doing.
Speaker 3: It's so important, Jamie.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of investment that you've made in our
Speaker 2: communities before.
Speaker 3: Where you got up here.
Speaker 2: Miss Budge was like, no, I'm asking about where the
Speaker 2: money is being spent. Even when I am friendly, we
Speaker 2: still have demands to make. So talk about some of
Speaker 2: those things and what else you're expecting from the convention,
Speaker 2: But save your voice, and we need to find you
Speaker 2: a mint tea right away.
Speaker 3: I'm here.
Speaker 10: I've been drinking tea all day.
Speaker 3: Jesus.
Speaker 9: But you know that's when you have a family reunion
Speaker 9: and everybody get together.
Speaker 10: Everybody is happy and dancing.
Speaker 9: And.
Speaker 8: You, the cousin that got to speak to everybody, were
Speaker 8: drinking conyact.
Speaker 3: Man, Please don listen.
Speaker 9: Sometimes the tea got a little bit in it.
Speaker 10: But listen.
Speaker 9: I'm so proud and I'm proud to do my black
Speaker 9: job as share the DNC along with my sister in
Speaker 9: the struggle menyard More who I know is going to
Speaker 9: be here right now. Y'all we have put on and
Speaker 9: I'm not just bragging on us, but people are telling
Speaker 9: me this is the best convention that you've ever attended
Speaker 9: ever in their lives. We gabbled in and think about
Speaker 9: the history of this moment. Sixty years ago, Fanny lou
Speaker 9: Hamer testifyed at the Credentials Committee of the DNC convention
Speaker 9: and in that it was an all white delegation.
Speaker 10: Black folks couldn't be a part of it. And you
Speaker 10: fast forward sixty.
Speaker 9: Years and a black woman from South side of Chicago
Speaker 9: and a black round headed kid from Orangeburg, South Carolina
Speaker 9: gabbled in a convention of the Democratic Party where we
Speaker 9: are nominating a black woman to be President of the
Speaker 9: United States.
Speaker 5: Folks.
Speaker 9: Think about the moment, folks, and I think sometimes we
Speaker 9: get so caught up in it. We got to step
Speaker 9: back and really think about the moment that we are
Speaker 9: in and what Mignon and I. We're not just there
Speaker 9: because you know, people like to call you token head.
Speaker 9: We're not just sitting there. I'm looking at the money
Speaker 9: that we utilized. We made sure that the first contracts
Speaker 9: that we offered at this convention, we're going to black folks.
Speaker 9: The production, a lot of the production for this convention,
Speaker 9: it was a black production team for the first time
Speaker 9: in the history. What we have done in terms of diversity,
Speaker 9: equity inclusion at the DNC. I've made sure that the contracts,
Speaker 9: our largest contract on DNC goes to the black firm,
Speaker 9: our security firm. So we are making progress. Are we
Speaker 9: there yet?
Speaker 10: Hell no? But dude, are we making progress to get there?
Speaker 10: We are.
Speaker 9: I didn't have a Marsha Fudge and Cedric Richmond over
Speaker 9: in the campaign and Jim Cliburn over the campaign as co.
Speaker 10: Chairs and secretary. Fudge is on it. I already on
Speaker 10: staff at the campaigner.
Speaker 9: Tell me, oh man, I was on with Secretary Fudge
Speaker 9: and she was asking some questions.
Speaker 6: You know, I want I want to ask you, Secretary Judge,
Speaker 6: how does this energy, you know, as a woman, different
Speaker 6: from Hillary in twenty sixteen, like the energy around the
Speaker 6: vice president.
Speaker 5: That's very very different.
Speaker 4: First, let me do say that I was very involved
Speaker 4: in the Hillary Clinton campaign, and I believe that because
Speaker 4: of people like Hillary Clinton and Barbara Jordan and Shirley Chisholm,
Speaker 4: that Kamala has a chance. They started kicking in that
Speaker 4: ceiling for us, and so now it's just full of
Speaker 4: cracks and we're just gonna tear it down. But it's
Speaker 4: different because she is mine. Yes, she is one of mine.
Speaker 4: The history that was history, but not like this.
Speaker 5: I got chill sick kids. She is one of mine.
Speaker 4: I love them, and I'm so proud to be able
Speaker 4: to work with somebody who I believe is going to
Speaker 4: bring this country together, who is going to show people
Speaker 4: that we are not just competent, we are superior in
Speaker 4: many ways. So they think because it's just because she's black. No,
Speaker 4: it's not because she's black. It's because she's the best.
Speaker 4: She's qualified, she's educated, she has worked hard. I mean,
Speaker 4: nobody gets to that place just by.
Speaker 10: Putty in the work and.
Speaker 4: I and I feel it every single day.
Speaker 2: I know you are having so much to do, and
Speaker 2: so we're so so grateful.
Speaker 3: Mss Fudge.
Speaker 2: I am ever grateful that you made time to do
Speaker 2: an interview.
Speaker 3: She was like, I'm doing this for y'all.
Speaker 2: We you keep asking the tough questions and tell us
Speaker 2: where we can lean in and support you.
Speaker 6: Administration accountable, keep holding them account.
Speaker 4: I was getting to say that because listen, when I
Speaker 4: walk in the room, they just like Lord. But let
Speaker 4: me just say this one thing to black men in particular,
Speaker 4: I hear a lot about she was a prosecutor.
Speaker 5: I was a prosecutor too.
Speaker 4: But but what I don't hear is who speaks for
Speaker 4: that mother whose son or daughter is killed. What I
Speaker 4: don't hear is when George Floyd was killed, they wanted
Speaker 4: a black prosecutor. Taylor was killed, they wanted a black prosecutor.
Speaker 4: You can't have it before you. They want a diversion program,
Speaker 4: you want a black prosecutor. We do our job, but
Speaker 4: it's also us to give you a second chance. It's
Speaker 4: also black prosecutors that will say you know what. I
Speaker 4: know that you should be in jail, but I'm going
Speaker 4: to give you a break.
Speaker 6: She's done that with the Back on Track program.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, so you want to tell that part of the story.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what you have been summoned.
Speaker 2: You have to do more interviews, Jamie staying.
Speaker 9: With I want you, okay, can I say for like
Speaker 9: five more minutes?
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 1: Sectary Secondary.
Speaker 2: Yes, he doesn't want to leave because he's with family.
Speaker 3: You guys, Just so you know, I said they said
Speaker 3: five minutes. I didn't get thirty minutes. I didn't get
Speaker 3: to I didn't get to say this.
Speaker 2: When Jamie was coming on because we were in the
Speaker 2: middle of a conversation. But Jamie, I just want you
Speaker 2: to know, as your sister from the Hill, I'm so very,
Speaker 2: very proud of what you've done. I know that you've
Speaker 2: caught hell in this position. He's laughing, but I'm so serious.
Speaker 5: I cannot wait for that documentary.
Speaker 2: And I just want you to know, Jamie, take every
Speaker 2: moment that you can't speak to appreciate all that you've accomplished,
Speaker 2: and know that without your work, brother, we would not
Speaker 2: have had a Kamala Harris at the top of this ticket.
Speaker 2: I want you to know Fanny Lou Hamer is so
Speaker 2: proud of you pursuing and carrying on her legacy.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I got goosebumps telling you this, But I want you
Speaker 2: to know there are so many young black boys and
Speaker 2: young black girls who are looking at you now and
Speaker 2: they know that even this lane is possible for them too.
Speaker 2: They may not ever want to run for office. You've
Speaker 2: done both.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: I recruited you to go back and do it again.
Speaker 2: We go see what happens. But I just want you
Speaker 2: to know that I want.
Speaker 7: To give some context to you because I want our
Speaker 7: viewers to understand what it meant to disrupt that primary schedule.
Speaker 7: For so long, the primaries were led by Iowa and
Speaker 7: New Hampshire. These are states that are ninety three and
Speaker 7: ninety four percent white, respectively.
Speaker 3: So when you disrupt.
Speaker 7: That cycle, by the time they went through those populations,
Speaker 7: it was really difficult for black people or any people
Speaker 7: of color to ascend beyond that. Compounded by the fact
Speaker 7: that the donor base is largely white and male. So
Speaker 7: when you empower our people in South Carolina to be
Speaker 7: the leading voice on how this country will be run
Speaker 7: at a time when the demographics are so changing, because
Speaker 7: that's what a lot of this disruption is about.
Speaker 3: I don't think people can fully appreciate.
Speaker 7: The size, the gigantic, and the sizeable impact that we'll
Speaker 7: have on the American body politic and the political landscape.
Speaker 7: I think that's such an important context, given that we
Speaker 7: know that there are a lot of people who are
Speaker 7: grossly uncomfortable with a black woman ascending to the highest
Speaker 7: office of the land, and they've made it known that
Speaker 7: they will not accept election results that they don't like.
Speaker 7: Do you have concerns about this November?
Speaker 9: I always have concerns, particularly when I know the people
Speaker 9: on the other side of the aisle.
Speaker 6: You know they're going to try to still the election,
Speaker 6: come on, then refuse to certify the results of the election.
Speaker 5: You know that if you get to the Supreme Court,
Speaker 5: they might even overturn it.
Speaker 10: You know that, Charlie Mane, I ain't confused.
Speaker 9: I know and that, and that's why for the last
Speaker 9: three and a half years I've been building the biggest
Speaker 9: voter protection program in the history of the Democratic National Committee.
Speaker 9: Gotcha it is because I understand and I know. I
Speaker 9: come we come from South Carolina. We know that they
Speaker 9: like to do, all of the little high jacks and
Speaker 9: the things that you know. I remember going to the
Speaker 9: campus of Benedict College and young lawyer coming out of
Speaker 9: Georgetown and having to be there and stand with those
Speaker 9: young people because the Republican Party there sent some goons
Speaker 9: from Georgia to try to keep the kids at Benedict
Speaker 9: from voting.
Speaker 10: So I know all of the tricks in the trades
Speaker 10: and the things.
Speaker 9: That they like to do, and that is why we
Speaker 9: built this biggest, the largest voter protection program ever in
Speaker 9: the history of the DNC.
Speaker 10: And that is why I know my team is saying like,
Speaker 10: you need to go, you need to go. That is
Speaker 10: why we have been working at this.
Speaker 9: But let me just say this and then i'm a
Speaker 9: rap why this moment is important. Republican Party is a
Speaker 9: party built on the foundation of fear. We are the
Speaker 9: party built on a foundation hole.
Speaker 10: Republican Party believes that our better days are in our past,
Speaker 10: but we know that our better days are in the future.
Speaker 9: Let me give you all a glimpse of the future,
Speaker 9: the glimpse of the future which motivates me each and
Speaker 9: every day. January twentyth, twenty twenty five We're in Washington,
Speaker 9: d C. Is a coal and breast day.
Speaker 10: We're at the US Capitol, a building built with.
Speaker 9: A hands of slaves, and standing on a daist, there
Speaker 9: is a black woman, a delta in a black claiming,
Speaker 9: tell my stand on that die is. Is a black
Speaker 9: woman in a black robe, a delta now Hushman, the
Speaker 9: first black woman Justice of the Supreme Court.
Speaker 10: Her name is Kantanji Brown Jackson. And they're in her hand.
Speaker 9: She is holding a bible, the Bible of Frederick Douglas.
Speaker 10: And then another black woman steps out, wearing.
Speaker 9: White or maybe even a tan suit, and she steps
Speaker 9: up and she puts her hand on that bible. This
Speaker 9: black woman an aka, a graduate of a historically black
Speaker 9: college and university, and she puts her hand up and says,
Speaker 9: I swear to protect and defend the constitution of these
Speaker 9: United States.
Speaker 10: Folks.
Speaker 9: That is what we are working on here. That is
Speaker 9: what we are working for each and every day.
Speaker 10: And it gives me.
Speaker 3: Chills, and you're making us cry, and its chills.
Speaker 10: To think about that. So, folks, don't sit on your
Speaker 10: damn hands. You better get it off and you better work.
Speaker 10: You better work to make this happen. That is our future.
Speaker 10: It is only our future though if.
Speaker 3: We make it.
Speaker 2: Jamie, can you please take Leonard off the stage.
Speaker 3: But I want to.
Speaker 2: Say that you guys, we have recreated on Native Lampard
Speaker 2: at Breakfast Club right now this moment of the Chair
Speaker 2: of the d n C and the Chair of the
Speaker 2: Democratic National Convention, Cholle.
Speaker 3: Joins, has joined the day.
Speaker 2: Jamie has to go, she's coming up to we have.
