I have watched breakfast 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:03.000 club sore politically like you guys engage and have talked 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.600 to so many candidates and it was a necessary stop. 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.079 Now it's a requirement. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.400 You guys for the first time are doing election night coverage, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:12.800 and I gotta know how it feels. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.960 I don't know yet. I'm waiting to see it for 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.720 praying grandmother's because I believe in praying grandmother It's a 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.160 whole lot of prying grandmothers all across the country tonight, 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.240 So we're gonna see because if things don't go the 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.360 way we want them to go. We're gonna have to 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.560 think twice about the prying grandmother thing. 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:33.760 About that. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:38.000 But every you got every black grandmother in America praying 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.680 right now everything everyone. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.560 Yeah, come on now, yeah, God gave us choice. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.200 Though you are so confident earlier what happened. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.560 Oh I'm still confident. Okay, But where are we right now? 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.640 Because people are texting my phone and people are saying 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.040 things like should. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:53.840 We be paying it?

You'll recall in twenty twenty, 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.600 we didn't know until the Saturday after Tuesday's election. And 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.080 so I would tamper expectations here that we will actually 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:12.040 will know somethings. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.040 Even if we don't have the total results from every state, 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.360 certain precincts performed certain ways and states. For instance, in 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.240 my state, I can tell you whether the redwoods are 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.960 going to the super ruby redwood will be and if 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.400 they are less than that, if the red is not 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.120 as dark, meaning it's a light pink, which means some 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.320 of those voters in those red districts have gone over 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.000 and voted blue in those places, diminishing the power of 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:35.640 the Republican voters. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.800 So we Day County came through for Trump today tonight, though. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.240 Day County has come through unfortunately the last three four cycles. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.919 I just want to say present Cuban that I asked 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.080 the breakfast club folks how they felt about it. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:48.839 They wanteel good. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.480 They talk about it, but no only one talked about it. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:54.920 I want to make sure I would say this. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.039 It's it's a feeling that I've It feels like a 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.400 family REUNI. You're like larning and I went on the yard. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.239 We were partying with with the students, with the alumni. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.160 And it's not just Howard University students. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.560 It's all HBC. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.920 We've seen people from FAMUL, We've seen people from North Carolina, 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.880 A and T. We see some hamp University people, some 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.279 Morgan State people and they're just excited. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.280 They just they feel like they're scene finally. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.800 Yeah, and uh, it's a great opportunity just to be 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.960 there with them, like it's like no other. Like I 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.680 thought it was like homecoming, but this is better than 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.839 a homecome. So I'm really enjoying the moment, what about you. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.839 I had ran into. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:35.680 Look like, you know what, drink. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:41.960 When you do you too much? 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:42.440 I'm not. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:43.360 I don't. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.719 I can't act up because Angela right up here you 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:47.159 said that. 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:54.000 I look like, yeah, I gotta be careful you Okay. Anyway, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:54.720 I had I was down. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.839 When we were walking back from the yard, I saw 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.719 April Ryan. I was like, oh my god, is April Ryan. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.440 Then I was like, i'ma go over and said hi 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.839 to her. And when I went over and we were talking, 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.520 she came up here. She said the same thing. She 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.360 was like, media, black media feels seen because it's like 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.159 they in our home right now, anybody who doesn't look 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.239 like us. Tonight we got to explain what has happened. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.160 But it's breaking down. You know, She's been on the 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.320 hill for a very long time. She's been holding it down, 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:17.680 and a lot of times she goes to battle with 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:18.720 people who don't look like her. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.440 So she's like, oh, the it's reversed now. 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.240 She was literally the only black representation we had in 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.320 the White House pastry for a long time. So she 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.039 you are watching black history, yay, Lauren, we love it. 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.680 So one of the things that I think we should address, 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.159 is this whole electoral college versus popular voting. A lot 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.800 of people I've been asking questions about that. We got 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.320 some smart folks up here who're taking it on. Tiffany Cross, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:42.119 look like you're ready. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.160 Well, I honestly think that is something I'm looking out 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.040 for tonight, and I think there it will be. I've 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.040 long said on NLP that I am anticipating political violence. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.320 I think the violence will happen in the courts, and 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.800 I think there will be violence in the streets. Already 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.800 we've seen fake electors in Wisconsin, people who have been 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.440 alone action deniers put in positions of authority. We'll see 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.520 tonight if Republican governors who did not if the election 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.000 results did not go their way, will they certify results? 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.800 We are at a time vote well, we don't know. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:12.400 We'll see. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.840 We are at a time where we are really questioning 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.880 will people accept election results they don't like? Now, I 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.960 will point out the slithering example out of Georgia when 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.160 Donald Trump did ask the Secretary of State there to 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.720 find him eleven thousand votes. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.560 Those Republicans said no. 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.280 Right now, the election deniers have been elevated in their 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.360 roles of power when we saw the insurrection here in Washington, 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.720 DC and the nation's capitol on January sixth. This is 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.880 a unique space. We have over thirty plus law enforcement agencies. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.960 When you consider electors out in some of these jurisdictions, 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.720 they don't have that same level of protection. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:47.640 Well, let me ask you a question. 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.720 Can you break down for like even my kids wanted 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.520 to know, why did they have an electorial college? Why 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.520 was it created? Like everybody says the popular vote for showIn, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.840 but it was created for a particular reason. Can you 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.320 explain why it was created for people that don't don't know. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.239 Yes, it was a voting. 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:08.280 Was really what it was? Were basically used. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:13.200 Well, the electoral college was was put into place because 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.160 they feared the balance or populated states, the bigger states, 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.920 the New York's of the time, the Pennsylvania's at the time, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.600 would basically use their populations, the Bigfoot, all of the 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.080 agrarian areas, all the farmers. These are the planting class, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:29.320 the people who had the money. 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.240 They did, but it was the mostly southern things. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.920 They were mostly Southern states who were afraid that Northeastern 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.439 states populations would take them right, so they the Framers 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.400 we were. We didn't have Confederates yet. The Framers at 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.480 the time established that they would appropriate based off of 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:54.480 UH populations and then allotting respective states to receive votes 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.599 that they would then cast those votes in an electoral 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.800 college convention for whoever would be president. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.199 I just I do want to point out that they 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.840 did not have the Confederacy, but they had Confederate mentality already, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.200 and it absolutely electoral college is a vestige of slavery 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:10.920 and is absolutely racistic. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:19.920 Preceded slavery, but that's not It preceded slavery's ending. Yes, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:25.000 but the country don't ever having to give votes to 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:25.640 black people. 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:27.240 Didn't consist of this. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.559 And they split over the fact. Didn't some of them 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:31.400 want the popular vote? 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.200 But then somebody wanted Congress to be able to decide 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:33.680 the president. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.400 They wanted electors, They. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.520 Wanted the people to inform who the delegates would be 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:39.839 to the. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.000 Convention to decide the press. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.160 So why can't we get rid of it now? 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.840 That was a constitutional amends. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:51.400 Republicans will allow basically the electoral college to be delist. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.800 They have for powertcha that more power into that system, Iowa, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.520 none of us are moving there that state will remain 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.560 what it looks like, and therefore they're the to continue 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.720 to be able to bigfoot over states, like there's no 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.800 reason California that basically half the vote that comes out 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:07.720 of that state means nothing. 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.960 Andrew, how big of a deal with the Iowa poll 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:10.959 this week that came out? 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:11.720 Big ass deal. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.000 Okay, there's a big deal because the last president to 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.800 win the state of Iowa's Barack Obama. And again at 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.240 that time, it was by close margins. They were just 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.840 polled six months before and Donald Trump had a twenty 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.080 seven twenty seven point lead. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:28.880 To look now and. 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.640 See that she crept up to potentially three points ahead 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.400 of him in a three point you know, margin of 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.800 era is incredible, and it's likely because of the abortion 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.520 bad that was implemented in that state has had now 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.600 almost seven six months out ago. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.240 And people don't like what they're seeing, right. 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.560 You know, we're saying it's incredible, and yes, it is 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.600 incredible in terms of what we know about the country. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:56.320 But I want to punctuate that point with its fucking incredible. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.480 That she is in competition with this half witted man. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.640 Is everything he has done, The fact that the race 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:07.280 is this is close is a travesty. I'm so proud 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.200 as a black person and perfectly a black woman to 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.120 see the most qualified woman who has worked in every 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.520 branch of government, the executive, the legislative. While she hasn't 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.280 worked in the judicial, but she was on the Cristiary committee. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.880 So yeah, right, she had Yes, precisely, so she had 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.440 a role in the judiciary branch as well. This man 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:33.160 has no plans, no experience. His first job in government 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:34.959 was as President of the United States. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.760 And the race is this close. So I trust that 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.280 America will do the right thing tonight. But I've been 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.520 saying either way, America will get the. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.720 President they deserve tonight. Yes, that's what I'm gonna ask you. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.439 So with everything that you just said, right, it being 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.120 that close, when Kamala wins, what is she up against? 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:53.880 Because we talk about a lot about like, no, you 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:55.880 still got to challenge your person that you want to win. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.480 You still got to what is she up against? 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.559 Because there's a lot of people because that margin is close, 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.720 that are like, she shouldn't be there. What does that 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.240 look like? What does the first day out look like, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.240 first week out? Well, she's gonna have to use her 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.040 executive power. On day one, we'll have to see what 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:12.679 the legislative branch looks like. We'll democrats, right, what will 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:13.600 Democrats control? 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.960 Will Democrats control the Senate? Will Democrats control the House? 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.440 I will will jump out and say I think Democrats 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.760 will take the House, which will give us another historic 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:26.960 position in making Congressman from Brooklyn Hakim Jeffries the first 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.679 black Speaker of the House, the first black male Speaker 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:31.160 of the House. 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.800 So I can imagine that there are some pockets of 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.520 conservative America that will lose their mind, and I think 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:37.439 she will be if this. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.960 If the Republicans control the Senate, it can be a deadlock. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:42.680 I mean, because that is the courts, that's where you 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.080 confirm justices. So it can be challenging. On the other 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.880 side of that, though, she will also have to confront 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.640 demands on the left. She's made some strange bedfellows in 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.480 bringing coalitions together this cycle, and she has extended herself 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.840 to Republicans. She has promised Republicans' positions in the cabinet. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.600 She's promised to have a bipartisan legislation. And so I 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.720 think on our side it's people who support her. For sure, 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.400 we still have to hold her accountable to our agenda. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.640 And there are people who want for sure absolutely uh 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.000 ceasefire in Gaza. She's gonna have to deal with that. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.320 The black Man agenda that she put out, that was 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.760 a plan. I want to see it execute it, so 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.440 she she will have her hands full. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.240 I want to ask you about that if if if 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.719 she loses, which which I don't think she will, I 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.720 don't know, but would that be a testament to like, 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.680 do big do big tent politics still work? 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.720 Or should you be focusing on niche groups? 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.199 You can't because she brought together Republicans, she brought together progressives, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.880 She's brought together you know, black men, Latino men. If 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.320 do big tent politics still work or should be focused? 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.000 Should you be focused on I think that. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.440 Is big ten politics to focus. 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:51.160 I know what I'm saying. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:52.959 If she loses, though, is what I'm saying. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.200 No, I think should should she lose, which again I 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.960 don't think that's gonna happen. Should she lose, I would 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:03.160 say that the country has shown yet again that they 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.640 do not want a black woman as president. Even when 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.480 you see a lot of the exit polls and you're 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.920 asking people what are your issues that you care about. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.640 And you have people in Wisconsin san immigration, what is 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.760 your big immigration and with immigration issue in Wisconsin, that 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.000 is subtext to me for I don't want these black 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.440 and brown people taking over the country. I think we 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.840 have to look ahead and start moving in conviction. By 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.960 the year twenty forty four, there will be no racial 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.960 majority in this country. So I think big tent politics 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.000 includes all of us. And this is the time that 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.880 we're seeing what does a government that is for the people, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.840 buy the people of the people look like what it 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.440 includes all of us? Before we would have to wait 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.520 what the white folk's gonna do, how they gonna vote. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.360 I think we have to let go of that frame 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.680 of thought, and I think this election tonight will show 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.680 that is an antiquated way of thinking and moving forward. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.720 We finally have the privilege to vote with our convictions 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.480 and not wait to be led by the white voting 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:54.280 block in this country. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.800 Charlam Mane, I think the last time we're in the 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:02.520 last stages of why big tick politic politics explain You're right. 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.720 So typically, if you're a Republican, you can rely on 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.920 the fact that the color of your skin is largely 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.280 going to be the prerequisite to you being a member 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.480 of the party. That's why it is the whitest party 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.720 of the two party system. Democratic side. Our coalition is 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.760 built up in order to get to fifty plus one, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.440 which is half plus one person or one vote. You've 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.680 got to be able to if the color of our 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.080 skin is not the thing that unites us under one party, 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.640 because we're not enough. We may get eleven percent of 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.320 the population, we need the other forty whatever to get 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.960 us over. And so if the Democratic Party has to 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.000 get a slice of the Latino community, we have to 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.760 get a slice of the white female vote. We even 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.960 have to earn a slice of white male votes. And 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.040 our coalition right now LGBT go beyond that and list 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:47.920 all of the others. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:49.400 That's what the party's made up of. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:54.000 And it's politics is about that complex because you got. 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.120 To meet everybody where you know where their need is. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.680 And unfortunately, right now, the white majory, already, the white 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.240 conservative majority is still quite frankly. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.120 Close to fifty one percent. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.160 So they could vote together and still be able to 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.720 hold this thing. But soon, and you've already pointed out, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.520 it won't be enough to just say we're in community 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.600 because we're the majority because we're all white, Gona, they're 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.360 gonna have to do and say more to bring more 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.800 people their direction or for them to win elections. I'd 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.160 like to ask y'all as a call and show you 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.480 get the voce from from the American people very directly, 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.760 almost every single day. And I'd love to hear when 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.720 did the tenor of your listeners begin to shift to 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.760 a place where it was no longer just skeptical of 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.640 a Kamala Harris, but it began to really embrace what 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:43.080 a Kamala Harris. 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.800 President's it could look like. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:44.520 I don't even know. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.360 Maybe that's on the other side of they have you. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.400 I still didn't, you're not convined. I still didn't feel 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:50.520 that totally yet. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.600 Now I can tell you when it happened for me personally. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:54.880 When if I remember when it was first and ounced 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.120 I was talking to Charlamagne about it. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:57.840 I didn't. I was like, I don't know if this 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:58.400 is the way. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.920 Like I was nervous because I felt like she had 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.120 been pushed to the back behind Biden. I mean, she's VP, 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:04.719 so like you know she has to be there, But 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:06.439 I was like, I don't know if the push can 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:07.960 be strong enough, cause it was just it was such 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.200 a great cloud over it. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:10.560 And then that. 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.119 First day I was like, oh, like this was the 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.000 answer the whole time, like just sit right here. I 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.119 saw the way that the world was reacting to her, 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.320 and it's the momentum. And I felt like, Okay, if 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.160 she really knows herself what she does, if she's really qualified, qualified, 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:25.800 what she is, she has the background, what she does, 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.720 all she need is the platform people, And I was here, 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:29.360 you know what I mean. 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.000 And I think people realize when when I think people 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.600 started not liking Joe Biden, when they started seeing I 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.840 would say early signs of dementia where he just didn't 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.920 seem no. I would say that, and I think people 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:40.480 that was the truth. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:41.120 That's what I seen. 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:41.640 I said. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.880 I was like, man, ain't got dementia. I wish y'all 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.639 was stopped up. It's given. 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.200 That's something that we don't know. There was something happening. 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.040 And it wasn't right, and I think a way out. 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.320 And when they see Kamala, I think it was like, Wow, 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.000 she is what people are saying. And then when they 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.240 need to talk to when you start seeing her speak 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:02.399 and see who she is. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:03.240 I mean, he's not wrong. 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.359 It was when that money started coming in, when she 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:06.240 raised all that money. 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.960 I'm trying to tell you, she locked up the delegates 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.640 and third, yeah, I'm like, I don't know.

Then I think the other. 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.160 Thing to know is overall, if maybe we can talk 0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:42.879 overall vote count.

Do we have data on that? 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.240 I don't see that on T Well, I'm gonna twitter, 0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.520 y'all got the official summer here with. 0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:53.840 Her at Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester. Assuming that will happen, 0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:56.919 another call on daisas yes. 0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.159 Has been called a fifty six point four percent of 0:25:59.160 --> 0:25:59.520 the vote. 0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:01.639 She is a actually a senator. She will be with you, 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:03.359 sworn absolutely. 0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:06.159 In Maryland, you also have another black woman poised to 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:07.720 go to the Senate and that. 0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:09.159 Has not been called. 0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:11.560 But she it looks like she's winning right now. She's 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:15.560 leading with uh fifty percent of the voter in fifty 0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:18.080 five point four percent to forty two point six percent. 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:19.680 I don't know why it's not called, but she's got 0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:23.440 a wrong's former governor Larry Hogan in Maryland. 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:26.600 Republican governor that she's squaring off again. So if you 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:30.120 can't see what's happening behind us, there is a massive 0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:34.439 crowd right here on Howard's campus who are excited, two 0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:35.280 thousand people. 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:39.280 I agree, it's the see of us and it looks beautiful. 0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:41.880 I think they've been serving food, Tiffany, because everybody over 0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:43.919 there got quiet and still they were dancing and all 0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:44.440 kinds of stuff. 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.560 A little that is true. Maybe they all went to 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:49.560 Chick fil A like you, or maybe anestly they maybe 0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:54.359 Lenard is projecting, y'all know, was it? They weren't dancing, 0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:55.640 they were going like line they. 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:56.840 Were the wobble. 0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:58.720 They've been here for a long time. They've been for 0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:00.680 at least five six o'clock dancing from. 0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:04.200 Five tired, so well they stay here the entire time. 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.760 Ok.

And even if 0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.960 she were, I wonder, Lisa, we can confirm that Senator 0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:22.520 Lisa Blunt Rochester is a senator.

She might not 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:28.840 be able to hear us. Yeah, she needs some hand phone. 0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:31.000 She needs some handphones immediately because she didn't hear us 0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:32.000 call that race already. 0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.439 But thank you, that's the case.

But I 0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.679 gotta tell you, this is not the right direction direction 0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:03.440 what I think? 0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:08.440 Yeah, that's so kind of you. I did. I didn't 0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:09.000 think Florida. 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:11.080 You know, Florida for the people out there who are 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.480 younger and may not remember, Florida used to be a 0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.680 purple state, which it was a swing state. You didn't 0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:18.880 know which way it was going to go. Ohio same thing, 0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:21.280 used to be a swing state. And now they're not 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.600 the political jaganauts that they once were. Florida is solid red, 0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.440 Ohio is solid red. Has gone Republican in the past 0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:30.480 I think four election cycles. So we are really looking 0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:34.359 at a brand new electoral map here tonight. And it's 0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:38.440 crazy because the entire landscape the map has been thrown 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.800 out since twenty sixteen. I know we have our brother 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:44.920 here from Florida tonight. But Lenard, you'll recall how I 0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:46.600 feel about Florida. 0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:51.400 Oh absolutely, you called it the victom of the country country. 0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:55.360 Wait, what excuse me? Florida the country? 0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:56.400 I mean? 0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.200 Oh, I was just that called me off guard. I 0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:03.480 did well, there actually is shadow around Florida. I mean really, yes, yes, 0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:05.520 I would tell you why I did not. 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.160 I will tell you why, because it has become a 0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.800 safe haven for white supremacists. If you look at activity 0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:17.600 down there. The FBI has already documented and confirmed that 0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:22.360 the greatest domestic security threat is uh white supremacy, white 0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:26.720 supremacy groups, and that is largely concentrated in Florida, so 0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:30.080 much so that there was a challenge in the punitive 0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:32.760 system down there in the prisons where the prison guards 0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:36.320 were also members of white supremacy gangs and abusing the 0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:39.240 prisoners there. So it's prevalent in every part of government 0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:43.400 uh in in Florida. So yeah, Florida can get castrated. 0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:50.760 Except for Andrews every other sentence saying. 0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:52.400 You know, the craziest people in America come from the 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:54.560 Bronx and all of Florida, Tiffany want to castraight double. 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:58.040 What were you able to do in Florida, Andrew? That 0:29:58.160 --> 0:29:59.400 was different than other politicians. 0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:02.760 I one, I don't think Florida is solidly read. I 0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:06.800 think they have beat Democrats into submission in Florida. You know, 0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.160 when you win so much of you then win and 0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:12.800 you change the laws to favor you. It's hard to 0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.840 compete in the system that is so terribly imbalanced. Right, 0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.800 But in our race, I mean we had to literally, 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.200 I mean I spent two years knocking on doors and 0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.160 talking to people who don't get talked to in politics 0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.800 to convince them one that the government was something that 0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:32.600 should work for them, and two that if I get elected, 0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.040 if it isn't a government that serves you, we're going 0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:37.400 to bend it so that it does. And if it 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:39.480 doesn't bend, then we'll break it and we'll start again 0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:41.760 so that it meets your needs. And I think we 0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:44.760 were able to convince a lot of people that vision 0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:50.400 was possible. Now Republicans again, they've taken the state. If 0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:52.880 you're Walt Disney World, the biggest corporation in the state 0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.440 of Florida, and a governor literally kicks your teeth in 0:30:56.200 --> 0:30:58.800 and sets an example for any other corporation in the state, 0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:01.880 if you step outside of line, like the Gestapo outcome 0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:04.760 and get you, then you start to quell a lot 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:08.200 of opposition voices under that environment. That's exactly what Trump 0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:10.840 wants to replicate in the country. He wants things to 0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:11.880 happen because he said, so. 0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:14.680 Happened. 0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:16.959 Somebody did text me and they said, Iowa. 0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:17.320 I don't know. 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:18.640 They didn't give me no car. 0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:20.640 Hold on, I'm a refresh. I'm a refresh. 0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:24.320 If that were Iowa, that we'd be deafening sound right 0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:27.480 now maybe, And they just said Iowa. 0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.880 I'm gonna tell you'all right now see one minute, Kamala 0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:31.520 Harris will. 0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:33.440 Text back and said what happened? But they ain't text 0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:33.920 me back yet. 0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:35.040 I don't have a car. 0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:39.080 Said that Trump is a narrower clear favorite to win 0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:42.000 Georgia and North Carolina. If he does carry those states, 0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:45.000 Harris would need to sweep Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to win, 0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:47.000 a real possibility with a tall order. 0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:48.760 Nonetheless, it is a tall order. 0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:51.479 But I think she shall hold the blue wall they 0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:55.000 call it some states. This is frustrated. We're at also 0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:58.240 behind behind us. They're like, let me tell you she 0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:00.800 won New York. That's called that. Okay, that's what I was. 0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:02.040 That's what I saw a minute ago. 0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:04.240 But I didn't know if Yeah, that's called Rhode Island. 0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.960 Did I say Rhode Island? I fell and knew elect. 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:08.920 I mean, let me let me use my little handed dandage. 0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:13.560 Vice President Harris now has ninety nine electro votes, Okay. 0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.240 One hundred and seventy eight oh so minus still say 0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:20.120 it's about one hundred short of and. 0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:21.800 The polls still haven't closed on the West coast. 0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:23.520 Correct, no, not yet. 0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.800 But none of the battlegrounds have come in yet, right right. 0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.920 None of the battlegrounds that matter for Kamala Harris have 0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:33.160 come in. Well, it looks like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin 0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:34.000 of course is still out. 0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:35.560 Let me ask you guys a question for the younger 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:38.320 people that are watching right now, why would they want 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:39.280 to jump into politics? 0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:39.440 Right? 0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:41.640 Because you look at politics and you see that they 0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.720 go into your life, They attack your family, they attack 0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:47.160 your values, they attack your morals, they make up stuff. 0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:49.479 Why would somebody young, why would you tell them it's 0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:50.960 a good reason to get into politics. 0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.840 I think I'm feeling for my brother Andrew here, but 0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:59.080 I think one thing that white supremacy has done Andrew again, 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:01.760 these are Andrews words. It I'm stealing, but they have 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:05.560 captured our imagination. They have taken our ability away to 0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:10.000 imagine what democracy would look like if we are its architects. 0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:13.800 And so the same thing that we tell people about voting. 0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:18.720 You try to give people. If you stop ten young 0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:22.200 people and say, okay, you're in charge of this five 0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.920 block radius. You in charge of when the trash gets 0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:26.680 picked up, You in charge of where they go to school. 0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:28.080 You in charge of how the school looks. 0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:28.840 You in charge of. 0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:33.080 How much taxes people are going to pay, and to 0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:36.120 keep all this functioning. You get to run all of that. 0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:38.960 That's why you go into politics, because you get to 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:42.720 shape what society looks like when it includes you. And 0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:45.000 so if you give it to people that way, where 0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.640 it's a blank wall and you can be the architect 0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.280 of democracy, how do you want to shape it? That's 0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:53.160 an incredible amount of power and an incredible amount of privilege. 0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:55.040 The question is do you want to rule or do 0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:57.280 you want to lead? If you want to lead, this 0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.280 is the perfect time to get into politics, and I 0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:01.320 would encourage people to do. And you don't have to 0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:04.080 be the candidate. You can be a campaign manager, you 0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:06.880 can be a fundraiser, you can be you can work 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:10.200 on a campaign as any of these numbers of communications director. 0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:14.000 There's so much that that that can impact political campaigns. 0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:15.719 What would you say Andrew, because you actually were a 0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:17.760 candidate and what made you ian man has been elected? 0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:18.640 That you were what eighteen? 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.840 Yeah, I mean well, the last time I lost an 0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.560 election was third grade and from that point all the 0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:28.040 way through until I was forty, you know, forty one 0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:31.759 years old, I held the elective office. And for me, 0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:34.600 I almost think it's an instinct that when you see 0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:38.680 something that's wrong that you don't like, and it frustrates 0:34:38.719 --> 0:34:41.120 you so much to see it wrong every day in 0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:45.120 and every day out, the people who are different are 0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:46.960 likely to figure out a path to how it is 0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:50.600 that they shift that thing that brings them annoyance every day. 0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.040 And if that annoyance is greater than an annoyance means 0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:56.320 your livelihood, meaning you're sick of watching your mother struggle 0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.040 to pay rent or mortgage, or your father, you know, 0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.400 who suffers some from alcoholism because of his frustration on 0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.160 the job that he can never move up, then the 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:08.359 urgency around how you shift the system becomes that much 0:35:08.440 --> 0:35:11.160 greater for you. So for me, it almost felt like 0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:14.200 a reflexive instinct that if the shit ain't right, then 0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:15.480 you do something to make it right. 0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.200 But how does it make you feel when you you know, 0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:19.400 you started so early, you did what you were supposed 0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:21.120 to do, you followed the rules, and then you see 0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:24.520 somebody like a Donald Trump, who really wasn't a politician, 0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:28.200 came from nowhere, show signs of racism to me and 0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:30.800 all the different things, grabbing him by the pussy and 0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:33.520 all the things that he said, and it seems like people. 0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:36.560 Just say, huh, it is and they elect him as president. 0:35:36.840 --> 0:35:40.160 I mean, how he's going against Kamalaharas. That just seems 0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:41.600 I think bed fellows. 0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:45.320 Bedfellows, you know, get to bed very strangely sometimes, and 0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:50.000 his case, it's so much easier to united people around 0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:55.080 a fight against extinction. Like if you feel viscerally that 0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:58.800 everything you know love about a place and that you 0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:02.200 want your child to grow in and also experience about 0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:05.080 a place, yes, you're gonna fight heaven and earth to 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:07.200 keep that thing for them because you think it means 0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:11.400 their future, their future prosperity. If I had to guarantee 0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.919 that if I voted this way, my children's life would 0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:17.719 be better, they would experience it better, and you'd have 0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:20.120 a guarantee that that was the case. I'd be blindly 0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:23.040 Republican too if that was the party offering that right. 0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:26.000 But let me ask you, Angela and Tiffany, how do 0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:28.200 you deal with the fake news so much? Because people, 0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:30.359 You know, this is one thing that Charlemagne and Lauren 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:32.360 will say. People call the radio and they don't know 0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:34.319 what's true and what's not right. You know, we say 0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:35.399 look it up, but when they. 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:39.080 Google half the time what you're looking for, so they 0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:40.759 don't know how to find what's proper. 0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.000 They hear a candidate and the candidate is lying, say 0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:44.640 they don't know who they should agree. So what do 0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:46.400 you tell those people? Because they are trying to do 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:48.200 their homework. They are trying to do their research, but 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:50.120 a lot of the research is bs. 0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:50.799 Well. 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.120 You know, people will disagree with me because they say 0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.720 you can never blame voters, and I'm probably a unique 0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:59.360 voice in which I will sometimes blame voters. It is 0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:03.480 a response ability to participate in democracy. So people who say, well, 0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:05.640 I don't know how Vice President Harris feels, or I 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:09.160 don't know where she stands on something, her plan is accessible. 0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:11.279 You can literally go to her website and see where 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.560 she stands. You can go to Donald Trump's website and 0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:16.440 see where he stands, and you can make an informed 0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:19.080 decision about which candidate speaks to you. Now, when you 0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:21.560 pull out larger and just look at the media landscape, 0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:23.839 you know, I've been navigating newsrooms for twenty four years 0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:26.759 of my life. It has been incredibly frustrating envy, I 0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:30.000 will tell you, my heart is breaking watch to watch 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:33.560 journalism die a slow death. And the challenge is because 0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:36.200 there are so many people in newsrooms who don't look 0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:39.360 like us, who are willing to extend humanity and understanding 0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:42.359 to people who are, you know, spitting in our face, 0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:45.560 trying to convince us it's rain. There are people who say, well, 0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:49.480 my grandmother voted for Donald Trump, and so she's not 0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:50.000 so bad. 0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:50.839 And those people are. 0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:53.520 Producers, and so they're willing to extend humanity to people 0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:56.800 when they it's lazy reporting, lazy journalism. When you interview 0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:59.239 people and they say, just today they say, were we're 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:00.799 exit poles, Well you're who? 0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.680 Did you vote for Donald Trump? Why? I like his policies. 0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.560 So I'm like screaming, ask why, Ask what policies? This 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.480 reporter said, well, what policies and the woman just said, 0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:13.800 I mean all of them. You you don't right, I 0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:15.560 think you were voting for him for a specific reason. 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:18.960 I think we underestimate how you know, people will forget 0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:20.640 what you did, they'll forget what you said, but they'll 0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:22.640 never forget how you made them feel. And I was 0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:25.400 watching this Asian guy on CNN and he was saying that, 0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:29.080 you know, he feels like his small business did better 0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:31.640 four years ago when Trump was in office. I think 0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:33.320 a lot of that has to do with PPP. I 0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:34.719 think a lot of that has to do with those 0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.200 stimulus checks. And I think that's what people are, that's 0:38:37.320 --> 0:38:39.440 that's people still remember that energy. 0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:51.920 Well, there's there's one person standing in the wings right 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:55.120 here that makes us feel a certain way. Aaron Haynes 0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:58.640 is a good friend of ours, a brilliant political strategy 0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:03.319 or a littical commentator. Aaron, We're gonna scoot down Tiff 0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:05.160 and let her come sit right here because she ain't 0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:05.840 got no handphones. 0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:08.879 That's down, scoot on down, Angel. Did you talk about 0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:09.880 New Hampshire already? 0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:10.080 No? 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:12.480 I did not talk about New Hampshire. You're breaking news. 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:15.080 The Fox News decision desk is project projecting a win 0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:16.680 for her in New Hampshire. 0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:17.920 How many electoral votes is that? 0:39:18.719 --> 0:39:23.080 It doesn't New Hampshire is not a lot of electoral votes. 0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:25.239 But why New Hampshire significant is because they don't need 0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.400 I'm Mary, yeah, yeah, so that's why we pay so 0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:32.279 much attention to New Hampshire. Hear that New Hampshire was 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:33.320 projected for vice president. 0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:34.360 How should we feel about this? 0:39:34.760 --> 0:39:36.600 The electoral Do you want to tell them what you're 0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:37.040 looking at? 0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:38.400 The electoral fab. 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:40.120 You have? 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:41.400 What source are you looking at? 0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:42.040 Uh? 0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:44.600 This is Google? 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.000 Okay? Where did they pull it? 0:39:47.600 --> 0:39:47.880 Google? 0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:49.000 Associated press? 0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:50.719 A what you know? 0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:52.719 She knows a little bit about a. 0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:55.960 Look. 0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:58.080 I mean I think what it means is it is 0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:01.960 what ten o'clock? Okay, I'm forty three, you know so? 0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:06.279 I mean it's nine forty three on Tuesday? Is you 0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:07.480 know sixty one degree? 0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:08.239 I know that's right. 0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:10.600 He's counting the votes because this thing is not over. 0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:13.839 I mean, I'm from Georgia. I know Fulton County has 0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:15.800 not come in. Atlanta has not come in, so like, 0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:18.359 we can't even really look at those numbers coming out 0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:19.680 of Georgia as real. 0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:20.200 Right now. 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:24.080 Philadelphia is another big city. I just you know, live there. 0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:27.200 Know that that is another county that comes in super late. 0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:29.440 Detroit is another place that's going to come in super late. 0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:31.080 So you've got a lot of big cities where we 0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:33.279 know there are a lot of votes that still haven't 0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:35.600 been counted yet, and so you know this thing is 0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:38.080 far far from over. That's that's what I know looking 0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:39.760 at this map and also looking at the clock. 0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:41.799 Does Trump try to call it to night? 0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:44.279 Yes, yeah, so he's going to try to call it. 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.680 Whether did we get to the other side and Kamala 0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:48.879 got two hundred and eighty six electoral votes. 0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:50.160 He's still gonna try to call it tonight. And I 0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:52.040 think we know that, like this is a part of 0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:52.439 their plan. 0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:55.880 And then if she ends up picking up additional votes 0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:59.560 going towards Saturday or even on Sunday, he will say 0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:01.439 that they try to steal it. And that's the same 0:41:01.480 --> 0:41:04.399 thing that happened. It's the exact same playbook from January sixth, 0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:06.680 twenty twenty one. We know what it is, we know 0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:09.000 what we're up against. I think right now I'll be 0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:11.120 honest and saying my nerves are bad. I didn't want 0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:12.040 the gap to be this big. 0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:12.880 There. 0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:18.319 Some outlets are projecting that he won Texas and it's 0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:20.120 with fifty percent of the vote in and I was 0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:22.319 hoping that it would be a little closer, especially because 0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:24.960 we haven't talked much about all the Senate races. But 0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:28.440 Colin Alred is also running against Ted Cruz in Texas, 0:41:28.719 --> 0:41:31.080 and I have a sneaky suspicion that if the margin 0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.680 is that big in Texas with Donald Trump, that Colin 0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:34.640 Alret's got a little bit. 0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:36.880 I'm gonna hold out hope for Colin Alright. 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:39.479 He's a former NFL player, a member of Congress who's 0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:41.480 trying to move to the upper chambers. I'm gonna holp 0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:43.759 remember to see the commercial backclawks. I'm gonna hold out 0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:45.440 hope that he could still because we have seen those 0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:47.760 of those split ballants. And I'll say Texas is another 0:41:47.880 --> 0:41:50.680 state that they keep promising Texas is gonna be purple, 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:51.600 It's gonna swing purple. 0:41:51.640 --> 0:41:52.680 We have yet to see that. 0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:55.279 Every cycle we think it's gonna go purple, and we 0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:58.040 haven't seen it. So I'm actually not as surprised that 0:41:58.160 --> 0:41:59.919 Texas may go for Donald Trump again tonight. 0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:00.719 Absolutely. 0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:03.320 I think I think some people, you know, wonder about 0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.800 that and and and the possibility of that happening, just 0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:08.840 because Texas literally has you know, the largest uh you 0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:12.440 know black population in the country, and yet you know 0:42:12.800 --> 0:42:17.000 that does not necessarily translate into the numbers. Democratic demography 0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:19.320 does not equal destiny, right, That's the thing that we 0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:21.480 that we know and that we have seen. And so 0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:24.759 you know Texas well, I think certainly Democrats have made 0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:27.520 inroads better of Rourke came very close right when he 0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:31.120 challenged Ted Cruz. And so now you have you know, 0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:33.640 Colin Albred certainly within striking distance. But we don't know 0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:34.960 what's going to happen with that race. 0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:35.200 Yet. 0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:38.640 It also punctuates, though aarin the Latino community as well, 0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:41.719 because so often you hear the Latino vote, right, and 0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.959 when you disaggregate these communities. There are more than twenty 0:42:45.040 --> 0:42:47.960 countries of origin, there are different perspectives. It's like if 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:49.799 you put all the black people in the world, black 0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:53.279 folks from Kenya, black folks from America, black folks from 0:42:53.400 --> 0:42:57.360 West Africa either right, even here in America, you know 0:42:57.400 --> 0:42:59.959 a black person who grew up in La Versus, somebody 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:00.760 grew up in Georgia. 0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:01.520 It's very different. 0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:06.840 And so in Texas, even with like within the Mexican population, 0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:10.040 there are some very conservative Mexicans. 0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:11.759 I mean, people's views on immigration right and not to 0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:13.400 be assumed right. Yeah, you know. 0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:16.800 And I want to say, speaking of immigration, Ohio is 0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:20.200 just called for Donald Trump as well, seventeen electoral votes. 0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:22.640 That's not super surprising because dave E Vans, of course 0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:25.000 comes from Ohio. But I bring that up because some 0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:29.560 of the nastiest rhetoric we've heard about immigrants so far. Hell, 0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:32.160 I would say in a decade was what they've said 0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:35.800 about folks in Springfield, what they alleged about folks in Springfield. 0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:39.200 So I just wanted to punctuate this moment with hate 0:43:39.280 --> 0:43:41.040 can still win in some of these in some of 0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:44.680 these states. But Aaron, what what what are you projecting overall? Well, 0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:46.960 hate win or will love? I mean I think that 0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:47.799 that will we. 0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:48.480 Turn the page. 0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:51.759 I mean, I don't know, right, I mean I do. 0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:53.840 I Am not going to sit up here in Nate 0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:58.879 Silver this thing. I can ensure guts say, my gut 0:43:58.920 --> 0:44:00.560 says that it's going to be close, and that we 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:04.200 we likely will not have a result tonight. But that 0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:06.920 does not mean that there was cheating. That does not 0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:10.080 mean that anything has been stolen. It means that the 0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:13.920 votes are being counted. It means that millions and millions 0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:17.520 of Americans participated in this election, and we need to 0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:19.960 see we need to let democracy play out like that 0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:21.160 is what I can say for sure. 0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:23.520 I have a question for you Aerin down here. Hi, 0:44:23.600 --> 0:44:24.359 I'm sorry, Lauren. 0:44:24.800 --> 0:44:26.880 So with everything that happened there, that we saw in 0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:28.320 that state, in all the rhetoric and all that that 0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:30.040 was being viewed, and the fact that you know it's 0:44:30.600 --> 0:44:34.080 going with going to Trump, what could Kamala have done 0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:36.799 like in the lead up to this point that could 0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:39.279 have changed that? Is there any like I thought she 0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.440 they're echoing everything that was said, right, Like, she's on 0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:45.640 these platforms, she's talking about it, and it's still they 0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:48.040 still lean to hear Trump Like, what do you how 0:44:48.080 --> 0:44:51.680 would you have advised her differently? I mean, I'm I'm 0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:55.239 definitely not the campaign advising business your perspective. But what 0:44:55.320 --> 0:44:57.400 I mean say, what I will say is, you know, 0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:00.239 it really was not about what the vice president could 0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:02.200 or could not have done in Ohio, right, I mean, 0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:05.040 we are talking about the former president being somebody who 0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:07.560 has been in our national politics for the better part 0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:08.160 of a decade. 0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:11.200 Right, he is baked in with his voters, his base 0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:12.080 is locked in. 0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:14.719 There really is not much that he could do or 0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:17.319 say for the people who support him that would turn 0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:21.800 them away. Even you know, hateful, hateful, racist hoax you 0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:25.440 know about Haitian legal Haitian immigrants is not going to 0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:27.239 turn them away. And so that was not a deal 0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:30.600 breaker for his voters. We know that he won Ohio 0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:34.279 in the past. Uh, the issue of abortion was also 0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:36.760 an issue that was on the ballot in Ohio literally 0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:39.080 had been on the ballot. They recently had, you know, 0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:41.560 the abortion band that was put in place there. The 0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:43.440 question there was also a question about whether that was 0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:46.200 going to mobilize women in that state. So I'd be 0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:49.160 very curious to see what the gender gap was in Ohio. 0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:54.000 But but yeah, I mean for his voters, something like that, 0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:57.200 that racist hoax that came up, that that was not 0:45:57.320 --> 0:45:59.840 something that was going to turn them away. And and 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:02.560 that was and and that and and they were not 0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:06.160 really voters that that the vice president was really going 0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:08.399 to be able to persuade and certainly was not going 0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:11.400 to be able to persuade them by saying that his 0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:13.920 hateful rhetoric was something that they shouldn't support. I mean, 0:46:14.120 --> 0:46:19.040 he said many hateful, sexist, racist things over the years 0:46:19.080 --> 0:46:20.920 that have not been a deal breaker for those voters. 0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:23.200 As anybody else nervous looking at these numbers because I'm 0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:23.719 getting nervous. 0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:25.440 I'm just telling you too much read. 0:46:25.320 --> 0:46:26.120 For me I want to do. 0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:30.480 But that's how Matt feels in I'm just nervous now 0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:31.920 I want to do. 0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:33.880 God is the best author and finisher. 0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:34.920 There you go. 0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:38.239 I think you have to, regardless of how it was. 0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:41.640 I see the iota's as she rode yes, and the 0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:44.920 homecoming court No, no, it's not. The homecoming court is 0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:48.440 some more D nine students who missed it on the 0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:48.960 first run. 0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:50.919 They're gonna come and make us feel a little better. 0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:52.520 They're gonna make us feel a little better. 0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:54.920 How do you think the Harris Walls team feeling right now? 0:46:55.920 --> 0:46:57.160 You do in the war room? 0:46:57.200 --> 0:46:58.080 Right now? What you're thinking? 0:46:58.840 --> 0:47:02.640 I am going to I assume that they feel joyful 0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:05.040 because they're not far from us. They're just feed away 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:07.799 from us, somewhere here on Howard's campus that's still early 0:47:07.880 --> 0:47:09.960 in the evening. I don't think they had the expectation 0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:13.120 that we would know results tonight. She is in the 0:47:13.200 --> 0:47:17.200 home of her alma mater, so I don't think that 0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:20.520 that they shared this nervous energy. You know, I don't 0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:22.520 have nervous energy, and me I understand why you do. 0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:25.400 I think that's, you know, part of part of the evening. 0:47:25.800 --> 0:47:28.920 But I'm optimistic about tonight, and I think I hope 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:29.919 that they are as well. 0:47:30.160 --> 0:47:32.960 And look, I mean they they knew that this was 0:47:33.000 --> 0:47:34.600 going to be a brawl, this was going to be 0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:36.680 a close election. She had one hundred and seven days 0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:39.000 to put on a campaign, and she has come with 0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:41.640 a striking distance of the White House. I mean that 0:47:43.040 --> 0:47:46.000 certainly was not certainly was not what the former president expected. Right, 0:47:46.040 --> 0:47:48.400 he certainly is wondering why he's even on the ballot 0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:50.080 with with Kamala Harris. 0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:52.560 But here they are neck and neck. I mean, this 0:47:52.719 --> 0:47:58.759 thing could not be close. How far it looks right 0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:01.200 now as of right now, right and and right now, 0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:04.120 Michigan is too close to call. Pennsylvania's too close to call. 0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:08.640 We always knew, yeah, But but that map is filling 0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:11.040 in the way that that map, it's all all of 0:48:11.120 --> 0:48:14.080 that is mostly southern state. You have the entire west coast. 0:48:13.920 --> 0:48:19.719 That have California. I mean, is it forties? How many? No, 0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:21.319 it's not looking at the. 0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:25.000 Four So they have the Red and the Blue, and 0:48:25.200 --> 0:48:27.279 they're getting nervous right now because they say, look, I'm 0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:29.480 explaining to them what they're looking at. It was always 0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:31.880 gonna come down to about seven states, but you know what, 0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:35.239 we have more of seven people, because if f nine 0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:36.960 have joined us to camp, we're gonna give you all 0:48:37.000 --> 0:48:40.160 a mic to tell us who you are, where you're from, 0:48:40.360 --> 0:48:42.719 and how you're feeling.

But he literally earlier than 0:50:54.440 --> 0:50:56.400 I was, like, it's gonna be a blowout. 0:50:57.200 --> 0:51:00.800 I ain't say all that exactly, told y'all my grandma 0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:01.800 prayed before we got. 0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:09.320 Here we could, but you know there is something through that. 0:51:09.480 --> 0:51:12.200 And just before you leave Erin, you wrote a column 0:51:12.640 --> 0:51:16.640 talking about that very thing, about if Donald Trump's fear 0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:19.800 and you know, persecution, I would think it could be 0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:20.360 a strategy. 0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:21.120 Why can't joy? 0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:24.719 Absolutely yeah, I mean we know that that joy has 0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:27.840 been a radical strategy for people, for black women in 0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:29.839 this country, and so the idea that that was front 0:51:29.840 --> 0:51:32.800 and center in this race should be no surprise to anyone, 0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:36.360 you know, And and pushing through the fear and the 0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:41.040 concerns that so many black folks in this country had 0:51:41.080 --> 0:51:44.600 because this this election is existential for us, right, Uh, 0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:48.880 so many black folks, people of color, women lgbt Q 0:51:49.000 --> 0:51:52.279 plus people feeling like, uh, you know, everything is on 0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:54.880 the line for them depending on the outcome of this election. 0:51:55.040 --> 0:51:58.640 And yet for us to literally be here, you know, 0:51:58.719 --> 0:52:00.840 at this rally, and and and and just hearing and 0:52:00.920 --> 0:52:06.439 seeing the joy, just even as the returns are coming 0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:08.279 in and we know that people are anxious, We know 0:52:08.400 --> 0:52:11.120 that people are fearful as they watch that map, just 0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:13.919 as you're doing over there, Charlemagne like, still being able 0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:16.920 to do that with joy. That is that is I mean, 0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:21.720 you know that that is definitely among the most American 0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:24.480 things that we're seeing in our community are then a 0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:25.279 little bit of joy. 0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:29.160 I'm just listen. Regardless of who winds, I think America 0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:31.560 does have to find a way to come together because 0:52:31.600 --> 0:52:34.359 you know, one thing I'm realizing is none of this matters, right. 0:52:34.480 --> 0:52:36.959 The sexism don't matter, the racism don't matter, the anti 0:52:37.040 --> 0:52:39.920 semitism don't matter, the homophobia don't matter. So what are 0:52:39.960 --> 0:52:42.480 we going to do as a community, as a society 0:52:42.640 --> 0:52:45.480 knowing that all of this really does exist among us, right, 0:52:45.560 --> 0:52:47.240 and we can't be delusional about it anymore? 0:52:47.280 --> 0:52:48.800 But we are been delusional. 0:52:48.840 --> 0:52:51.000 I don't think I think that there was a time 0:52:51.080 --> 0:52:53.319 where I felt more hopeful. There wasn't that I thought 0:52:53.360 --> 0:52:55.640 that it was completely a race. But I do think 0:52:55.960 --> 0:52:58.080 when Barack Obama won in two thousand and eight and 0:52:58.120 --> 0:52:59.960 when he went again in twenty twelve, I had more 0:53:00.200 --> 0:53:03.360 hope that I did when Donald Trump won in twenty sixteen. 0:53:03.719 --> 0:53:06.160 When when Donald Trump went in twenty sixteen, I was like, 0:53:06.280 --> 0:53:09.520 who the are these people that I have to work 0:53:09.600 --> 0:53:12.040 with that I have to consult with that I have 0:53:12.200 --> 0:53:13.640 like that I have to I think it was more shocking. 0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:15.400 I don't think anybody else son. 0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:19.320 Speaking of Trump, he just won. Jesus breaking MSNBC. Donald 0:53:19.320 --> 0:53:21.640 Trump wins Kansas. Yeah, I have Kansas. I didn't know 0:53:21.640 --> 0:53:23.640 maybe yeah, because I was expected. But you're right, he 0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:26.840 did win Kansas. I will just say though, no, no, no, 0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:28.920 I'm just I'm just saying because you're right. But I 0:53:29.320 --> 0:53:31.120 was just like, it's my Twitter feed got. 0:53:31.000 --> 0:53:31.520 Me up to date. 0:53:31.880 --> 0:53:33.920 All of it looks about white. It's okay, right, it 0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:34.840 looks about. 0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:37.520 White, and it still looked like the Confederates that wanted 0:53:37.600 --> 0:53:39.960 us to be represented with three fists. The point is 0:53:41.320 --> 0:53:45.440 we don't. I don't know how I am going to 0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:48.160 fill tomorrow or on Saturday. 0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:51.200 If this is at this election is called on for Trump, 0:53:51.320 --> 0:53:53.239 I just I cannot even fathom it. 0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:55.239 I don't want to consider that. Again. 0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.200 How do y'all look at the black voters that said 0:53:58.200 --> 0:54:00.000 they're not voting for Kamala and they voted for trum 0:54:00.320 --> 0:54:02.440 How do you look at those family members? 0:54:02.560 --> 0:54:04.400 I don't have no family members. 0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:12.200 Like that, Angel, I don't even know people you're like. 0:54:12.239 --> 0:54:14.439 People in my family have said things like this. Maybe 0:54:14.480 --> 0:54:16.640 you changed their minds, but I remember specifically. 0:54:16.680 --> 0:54:19.080 Maybe I'm in extended families who my god brother did 0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:21.279 but he voted No, no, no, no no. He was 0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:23.239 saying that he thought some of the stuff that Trump 0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:25.440 did was positive, and then he saw how they were 0:54:25.480 --> 0:54:26.240 talking about. 0:54:26.040 --> 0:54:29.040 Me, I mean personal family, like you meant the great 0:54:30.160 --> 0:54:32.560 you know. I gotta tell you, I have not met 0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:35.120 a lot of black Trump supporters. I just haven't. I've 0:54:35.160 --> 0:54:38.120 met people who said that they like Stimmy's or they 0:54:38.600 --> 0:54:41.360 like PPP until they friends got arrested, or you know, 0:54:41.840 --> 0:54:43.800 like I've met those folks, or that they thought that 0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:46.319 he was right on immigration, that they. 0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:48.520 Weren't going to vote, or maybe they weren't voting for her, 0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:50.160 but then they weren't going to vote for anybody. 0:54:51.320 --> 0:54:53.880 Yeah, I don't think they're large enough in number in me. 0:54:53.960 --> 0:54:56.280 I really I think that was such a false media 0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:59.600 narrative that so many people globbed onto and elevated and 0:54:59.640 --> 0:55:02.200 prepare situated, and it's like, well, time out, you guys, 0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:06.840 Like these are random sound bites that nobody's bothering to 0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:09.080 ask the follow up. Nobody's bothering to say, well, are 0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:11.160 you registered to vote? Did you vote in the last election? 0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:13.279 Are you registered to vote this cycle? I would be 0:55:13.440 --> 0:55:15.840 very curious to see the exit poles. We already know 0:55:15.920 --> 0:55:18.600 that the GOP has gotten twelve percent of the black 0:55:18.680 --> 0:55:21.560 male vote specifically last cycle. There is no evidence that 0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:24.680 that has grown in number or gotten smaller in number. 0:55:24.760 --> 0:55:26.680 So I'll wait to see that some of the exit poles. 0:55:26.719 --> 0:55:30.239 But is like eight to fifteen Conservatives. 0:55:30.280 --> 0:55:35.520 And again, the question is what do white people do election? 0:55:35.640 --> 0:55:38.880 Because white people are the Americans that are voting for Trump, 0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:42.399 voting for Republicans in the majority. The extent to which 0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:46.680 his support is eroded among white Americans, not the extent 0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:50.040 to which he's attracting other people whose votes have had 0:55:50.080 --> 0:55:51.040 to mitigate. 0:55:51.200 --> 0:55:53.799 Right, people who are the white people who are voting 0:55:53.840 --> 0:55:55.520 for Trump, like that is the point. 0:55:55.560 --> 0:55:57.520 But you know, Charlemagne, you you also make a really 0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.960 good point about the country coming back together and and 0:56:01.239 --> 0:56:04.439 and our politics being about more than just who wins 0:56:04.560 --> 0:56:07.600 or loses, right, but about our shared values and our 0:56:07.680 --> 0:56:09.799 shared sense of fate, which seems to kind of feel 0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:11.680 lost in all of this, right, like, how do you 0:56:12.120 --> 0:56:15.000 how do we really get back to that? 0:56:15.480 --> 0:56:21.080 On the other side of the selection that's hugely, hugely difficult. 0:56:21.040 --> 0:56:25.160 So divided, and so many people who it seems, you know, 0:56:25.480 --> 0:56:27.920 just really don't care about their fellow Americans, right like, 0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:30.000 how how how does that sense of community? 0:56:31.320 --> 0:56:32.560 How do you begin to foster that? 0:56:33.200 --> 0:56:35.440 I believe that's what a pessimism comes into play now, 0:56:35.480 --> 0:56:37.360 because you're looking at this map right now, you're. 0:56:37.280 --> 0:56:40.160 Like, damn yeah, we really are crazy. 0:56:40.239 --> 0:56:40.399 Though. 0:56:40.960 --> 0:56:43.640 When I went into vote today, because I was earlier, 0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:45.439 I was a little pessimistic and I went into vote 0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.560 and the women who like were there that was helping 0:56:48.600 --> 0:56:51.560 out everything their energy, I was like, it just felt 0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:53.799 like it felt so good. It made me feel like, Okay, 0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:57.840 we got this. And then things change or whatever, so 0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:00.640 the feeling, you know, changes a little bit. But I'm thinking, 0:57:00.719 --> 0:57:02.520 like when people go into the voting polls and they 0:57:02.560 --> 0:57:04.839 get that feeling. I hope that that in real life, 0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:06.919 like you were saying, right, Like, you don't run into 0:57:06.960 --> 0:57:08.839 like a thousand and one people who support Trump every 0:57:08.840 --> 0:57:10.960 single day in your real life, but the media makes 0:57:11.000 --> 0:57:12.799 you feel like that in real life. When I walked 0:57:12.800 --> 0:57:14.759 into that poll, I'm like, I hope everyone is getting 0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:17.320 this so they feel good and they feel energized. 0:57:17.320 --> 0:57:18.720 And then, you know what I mean, I love what 0:57:18.840 --> 0:57:22.800 you're saying, because we have we have made voting sound 0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:27.520 like such a burden, made voting sound you know, people 0:57:27.680 --> 0:57:29.400 were scared to go to the polls. They were scared 0:57:29.440 --> 0:57:31.080 of what might happen when they got to the precinct. 0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:32.720 You know what happened when I went to my precinct. 0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:35.640 Every single poll worker that was there was a black woman. 0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:36.160 Me too. 0:57:37.080 --> 0:57:40.080 I think the black black women like that, Like you know, 0:57:40.160 --> 0:57:44.280 they pard cat, they got last for anything. They clapped 0:57:44.280 --> 0:57:45.040 the wom when he came in. 0:57:45.200 --> 0:57:47.360 It was it was good. It was a festive. It 0:57:47.480 --> 0:57:52.000 was a positive experience. Yep. Yeah, yeah, well if they 0:57:52.120 --> 0:57:54.200 just calling another date, yeah they are. 0:57:54.480 --> 0:57:55.480 Trump just got tim more. 0:57:55.520 --> 0:57:56.240 I don't know who we want. 0:57:56.560 --> 0:57:58.640 We're gonna we're gonna get there and are we know 0:57:58.760 --> 0:58:01.439 you got all the I gotta, I gotta, I gotta 0:58:01.440 --> 0:58:05.240 gotta get his phones back out here. 0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:07.760 It's focused, Yeah, I was so when he what he 0:58:07.840 --> 0:58:11.120 got what? Yeah? I offered him mine. 0:58:11.200 --> 0:58:13.000 He is focused on, you know, but the glasses on 0:58:13.080 --> 0:58:16.920 twice took him off three to Yeah, gets his headphones on. 0:58:17.080 --> 0:58:19.800 I think that's because he's so used to watching these maps, 0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:20.320 you know from his. 0:58:20.400 --> 0:58:23.080 Own Okay, Yeah, that's what everyone have to study, Nique, 0:58:23.160 --> 0:58:25.720 understanding of what we're seeing tonight. 0:58:39.160 --> 0:58:41.640 As you've been over there, study Andrew, tell us, tell 0:58:41.720 --> 0:58:45.240 us blood John, what's happening? What happened with the electoral colleges? 0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:48.440 Now, So there are reports that are coming in right 0:58:48.480 --> 0:58:50.960 now around the early I mean the ninth, the ten 0:58:51.040 --> 0:58:55.320 PM closing states. I haven't been able to assess all 0:58:55.400 --> 0:58:58.520 of all of those, but let me just describe for 0:58:58.520 --> 0:59:00.360 a minute, because some people may be confused about what 0:59:00.440 --> 0:59:01.600 they are seeing. 0:59:03.200 --> 0:59:05.040 Around. Some of the states have been called some of 0:59:05.120 --> 0:59:05.760 y'all a break. 0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:08.080 Down a purple state too, because you mentioned Tiffany. It's 0:59:08.120 --> 0:59:09.600 in purple states, and some people are saying, well, what 0:59:09.680 --> 0:59:11.120 is a purple state? I no, red and no blue. 0:59:11.320 --> 0:59:14.480 Yeah, bring are the purple states of the states that 0:59:14.680 --> 0:59:18.919 don't go predictably Democrat or predicted Republican any statewide race. 0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:21.760 So they flip back and forth between. 0:59:23.000 --> 0:59:25.760 A Democratic top of the ticket and Republican top of 0:59:25.800 --> 0:59:28.480 the ticket. But others may have heard this term the 0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:31.320 red mirage, and it's less known than we know about 0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:33.480 the blue wave and that kind of thing. But the 0:59:33.600 --> 0:59:37.360 red mirage, which is connected to then the blue shift, 0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:40.320 is the early part of the night. The results that 0:59:40.440 --> 0:59:43.600 come in tend to favor the Republican party because of 0:59:43.720 --> 0:59:46.800 the way in which because of the order at which 0:59:46.880 --> 0:59:49.800 votes are counted, so the early counting of the vote's 0:59:50.080 --> 0:59:54.320 show may show a Trump lead in certain places. And 0:59:54.480 --> 0:59:57.480 then the reason why they call it the red mirage 0:59:57.600 --> 1:00:00.400 is because the mirage doesn't really exist, lead you to 1:00:00.480 --> 1:00:03.760 believe you're going to get that red thing. But as 1:00:03.800 --> 1:00:06.160 the night goes on in the county continues, a blue 1:00:06.280 --> 1:00:09.400 shift starts to happen and that state goes from looking 1:00:09.760 --> 1:00:12.600 red or I think some of the networks that not 1:00:12.680 --> 1:00:17.400 are using a darker hue of red to suggest leading 1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:20.000 Republican into a blue column. 1:00:20.160 --> 1:00:22.240 And it's not because there's any cheating that's been done. 1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:26.120 It's that they've added more votes to the tally, and 1:00:26.240 --> 1:00:28.640 as they add more votes, large wheels that were either 1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:33.480 mailed in or submitted as provisional ballots that get counted. 1:00:33.960 --> 1:00:36.360 When they get counted and qualified, they move into the total, 1:00:36.720 --> 1:00:39.120 and that total then moves. What looked like when you 1:00:39.240 --> 1:00:41.640 went to bed a state that was red and you 1:00:41.720 --> 1:00:43.560 wake up the next morning and that state happens to 1:00:43.640 --> 1:00:46.240 be blue is not because anybody stole any votes. 1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:47.680 It is because more votes were. 1:00:47.600 --> 1:00:50.840 Counted and then the calculation into the total of those 1:00:50.920 --> 1:00:53.520 votes have then moved that state to. 1:00:55.280 --> 1:00:58.360 A blue column. So don't be discouraged when you're looking 1:00:58.360 --> 1:00:59.880 at U saying, oh, I just know we do better. 1:01:00.760 --> 1:01:03.360 Wait, that's why we've worn people. Don't assume that the 1:01:03.400 --> 1:01:05.960 election is over the day that we vote. Give it 1:01:06.080 --> 1:01:08.320 time for all the votes to be counted, and it 1:01:08.440 --> 1:01:09.120 looks different. 1:01:09.480 --> 1:01:11.280 I'm gonna tell you something, speaking of me, you need 1:01:11.320 --> 1:01:12.360 a logo three right now. 1:01:12.480 --> 1:01:14.600 Yeah, don't take your headphones out, scoop down, because you 1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:15.640 ever been in an arena. 1:01:15.760 --> 1:01:17.360 You haven't been in an arena when the team is 1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:20.080 getting blown out. That's how I feel right now. 1:01:20.240 --> 1:01:22.360 But that's because it's all like think of if you 1:01:22.400 --> 1:01:24.960 look at the actual map, right, the red states are 1:01:25.160 --> 1:01:27.280 actually mostly in the south. 1:01:27.680 --> 1:01:31.360 Those polling locations have closed. You're seeing projections even when 1:01:31.360 --> 1:01:34.000 there's zero point zero of the votes counted. 1:01:34.160 --> 1:01:34.920 So this is usual. 1:01:35.080 --> 1:01:39.040 This is absolutely usual. Remember we haven't seen California yet. 1:01:39.720 --> 1:01:43.440 But it's not just California, Washington, Nevada. I think we'll 1:01:43.440 --> 1:01:44.040 get Nevada. 1:01:44.400 --> 1:01:47.240 But while we're moving down, we are bringing on our 1:01:47.280 --> 1:01:50.320 good friend and brother Rock and Is Howard sweatshirts is 1:01:50.560 --> 1:01:51.760 what did look like? 1:01:51.920 --> 1:01:54.240 Quinton James? Very similar? 1:01:55.600 --> 1:01:58.280 This is Quentin James collective fact also vote to live, 1:01:58.600 --> 1:02:02.360 dear partner of ours at Native lampod and and and 1:02:02.560 --> 1:02:05.040 I know he's happy to be in joint collapse conversation 1:02:05.200 --> 1:02:06.160 with the breakfast club. 1:02:06.640 --> 1:02:10.640 You this is not on trends? Can we put Quinn's 1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:10.960 mic on? 1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:11.200 There? 1:02:11.240 --> 1:02:11.440 We go? 1:02:11.920 --> 1:02:14.520 Quentin, Yes, we need some hope because people spiral in 1:02:14.640 --> 1:02:18.880 real time. Some people spiral. I didn't say, y'all, I 1:02:19.000 --> 1:02:22.680 was talking about or something. Please look at his kneecap 1:02:22.800 --> 1:02:23.360 up and everything. 1:02:23.480 --> 1:02:25.640 It's early right, so we know a lot of votes 1:02:25.640 --> 1:02:27.880 are still going to be counters to night from election day, 1:02:29.000 --> 1:02:31.800 we saw an overperformance today from our folks showing up 1:02:31.840 --> 1:02:34.800 to vote. Kind of procrastinated, but they did show up. 1:02:35.080 --> 1:02:36.640 So I think we're gonna see these numbers kind of 1:02:36.640 --> 1:02:38.760 shift throughout the night. And as we told everybody, you've 1:02:38.760 --> 1:02:40.520 got to be patient, right, it's gonna take a while to. 1:02:40.560 --> 1:02:42.800 Count all these votes. We want every vote counted. 1:02:43.080 --> 1:02:45.040 We know that people still in line voting right now 1:02:45.480 --> 1:02:48.919 in saints like Arizona, Nevada, So let's be patient count 1:02:48.920 --> 1:02:49.320 of your vote. 1:02:49.320 --> 1:02:50.120 I think we're gonna be all right. 1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:57.000 So clearly, you know, the predicted of a dramatic win 1:02:57.120 --> 1:02:59.760 by either party. There's no stake that is falling one 1:02:59.800 --> 1:03:04.280 way so far that suggests as dramatic win by anybody. 1:03:04.440 --> 1:03:06.920 Right now, it's on park. Yeah, I think it's pretty much. 1:03:06.800 --> 1:03:09.440 On par I think people have higher you know, had 1:03:09.520 --> 1:03:11.480 higher hopes for Georgia. I don't know where the most 1:03:11.520 --> 1:03:18.040 populated centers are with their total tally, so around Atlanta 1:03:18.280 --> 1:03:21.320 and in the county surrounding Atlanta, what percentage of that 1:03:21.400 --> 1:03:24.959 vote is already in If we're talking about forty maybe 1:03:24.960 --> 1:03:26.800 even forty fifty percent of the vote. 1:03:26.840 --> 1:03:29.600 Know that you have half the state's population. 1:03:29.760 --> 1:03:33.040 Of the entire state of Georgia is roughly populated in 1:03:33.120 --> 1:03:35.640 this area and just around it, and so we need 1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:38.720 to let those votes get in and be counted again. 1:03:39.160 --> 1:03:43.040 Uh, Pennsylvania, Michigan. 1:03:43.920 --> 1:03:46.160 Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. 1:03:46.240 --> 1:03:48.320 I just want to on this point one of the 1:03:48.400 --> 1:03:50.280 things that Tip brought up earlier too, and I think 1:03:50.320 --> 1:03:53.920 it's so important to contextualize the vote in our folks 1:03:54.680 --> 1:03:57.120 pushing forward anyway, being resilient anyway. 1:03:57.360 --> 1:04:01.200 The Philadelphia City Philadelphia's city commissioner said that several polling 1:04:01.240 --> 1:04:04.240 places were targeted by bomb threats. We knew about that 1:04:04.360 --> 1:04:06.160 in Georgia. Today we heard that it was, you know, 1:04:07.000 --> 1:04:09.400 most likely from a Russian actor. 1:04:09.880 --> 1:04:12.240 These bomb threats in Philadelphia, going right to the heart 1:04:12.280 --> 1:04:15.120 of where black folks are and where elections can be decided. 1:04:15.480 --> 1:04:19.480 How have you seen that intimidation work against our folks 1:04:19.600 --> 1:04:20.160 or not at all? 1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:22.800 I mean, listen, it's an age old trick. We knew 1:04:23.960 --> 1:04:27.960 this was a possibility. It's very disheartening to see it 1:04:28.040 --> 1:04:32.400 happen in real life. I think before we got to remember, right, 1:04:32.600 --> 1:04:35.280 this is again the same tactics use against our people 1:04:36.040 --> 1:04:39.439 throughout the sixties, this kind of terrorism. The thing that's 1:04:39.600 --> 1:04:43.920 interesting is there weren't bomb threats in Wyoming or Nebraska. 1:04:44.760 --> 1:04:47.760 They've been in Georgia, been in Philadelphia, been in places 1:04:47.800 --> 1:04:49.560 where we know black voters gonna show up and vote, 1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:52.640 And so I think that also is a little bit 1:04:52.680 --> 1:04:55.520 of a tell to me that people are afraid of 1:04:55.560 --> 1:04:57.600 our folks coming out to vote, so they're going to 1:04:57.640 --> 1:05:00.280 resort to those tactics. But again, I we got to 1:05:00.280 --> 1:05:04.280 give it up to black voters. Before today, over fifty 1:05:04.400 --> 1:05:07.120 percent of the black women who were registered to vote 1:05:07.400 --> 1:05:10.960 in North Carolina, in Georgia, they'd already voted, right And 1:05:11.080 --> 1:05:13.320 so I think we're gonna see a record breaking turnout 1:05:13.360 --> 1:05:16.040 from black women tonight, and we got to recognize that 1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:18.040 and give it up to black voters in spite of 1:05:18.120 --> 1:05:19.280 all these threats that we're seeing. 1:05:19.720 --> 1:05:21.680 I do have to ask, you know, we talked about 1:05:21.720 --> 1:05:24.160 Kamala Harris so much and she didn't have the time 1:05:24.240 --> 1:05:27.360 of course Trump had. Is there anything that she should 1:05:27.360 --> 1:05:29.040 have done that she didn't get a chance to, or 1:05:29.080 --> 1:05:31.360 that you wish you would have seen her do anything 1:05:31.400 --> 1:05:31.680 at all? 1:05:31.760 --> 1:05:35.680 I mean, look, in campaigns, you have three resources, right, time, money, 1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:38.320 in people. She didn't have a lot of time, right, 1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:39.680 so she had a lot of money, had a lot 1:05:39.720 --> 1:05:42.520 of people. But the time issue I think is the 1:05:42.600 --> 1:05:46.280 only thing I would look at as something at her disadvantage. 1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:49.320 We kind of heard reports today of you know, concerns 1:05:49.360 --> 1:05:52.400 around black voter turnout in Philadelphia, for instance. She didn't 1:05:52.400 --> 1:05:54.960 have the time to really dig in there. Again, one 1:05:55.040 --> 1:05:57.880 hundred day campaign has been phenomenal, but we've never seen 1:05:57.880 --> 1:05:59.600 anything like this in presidential history before. 1:06:00.080 --> 1:06:02.120 So that's the one piece. It's just the time issue. 1:06:02.120 --> 1:06:05.080 I don't think she could have spent again more money 1:06:05.160 --> 1:06:07.480 here or there, or have more people organized here or there. 1:06:08.960 --> 1:06:10.360 Can I tell you, guys, one piece of. 1:06:12.080 --> 1:06:14.360 Show I was it's not even about actually from but 1:06:14.640 --> 1:06:16.960 what what Tip would normally say is the dick of 1:06:17.000 --> 1:06:21.280 the country. There is a Florida state attorney who was 1:06:21.320 --> 1:06:24.960 suspended by Ron DeSantis, by the name of Monique Worrell, 1:06:25.000 --> 1:06:27.560 who has won her seatback. So that is one piece 1:06:27.600 --> 1:06:30.720 of good news in black history in Florida to command 1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:33.120 and to be proud of. I'm the only one celebrating 1:06:33.160 --> 1:06:36.120 it the show. Thanks Lauren hop Us. 1:06:37.040 --> 1:06:39.800 I want to say that because the way that you're 1:06:39.880 --> 1:06:43.160 posing the question, it sounds you and Leonard are both like, 1:06:43.520 --> 1:06:48.000 you know, you. You you sound like you're not as hopeful, 1:06:48.560 --> 1:06:51.280 and I just want to just hersized. 1:06:51.320 --> 1:06:54.480 I know they're both what y'all cold? Why they said, 1:06:54.520 --> 1:06:56.200 like that's that girl is so high over here? 1:06:56.440 --> 1:06:57.240 Well, it's because. 1:07:00.520 --> 1:07:02.080 There was the energy that was held. 1:07:03.600 --> 1:07:04.680 Not no more no, I. 1:07:06.720 --> 1:07:09.640 I think it has spiritually music. 1:07:10.320 --> 1:07:13.160 Yeah, it's quiet because they're looking at her once the 1:07:13.240 --> 1:07:15.480 projection right, and I just want to encourage. 1:07:15.080 --> 1:07:17.360 You project I need to stop looking at. 1:07:23.720 --> 1:07:23.960 Try it. 1:07:26.080 --> 1:07:28.000 If we wonder why when we wake up and the 1:07:28.080 --> 1:07:31.840 Republicans are right now rejoicing and then sad tomorrow. You 1:07:31.880 --> 1:07:34.800 can understand that if you're in this mood because you're 1:07:34.840 --> 1:07:37.360 expecting these things to look a certain way. They go 1:07:37.480 --> 1:07:39.920 to bed with it assured that it looks a certain way, 1:07:40.040 --> 1:07:41.800 and then as the folks get counted, they wake up 1:07:41.800 --> 1:07:43.920 tomorrow and they said the Democrats stole it. 1:07:44.920 --> 1:07:45.880 How they win a race. 1:07:46.120 --> 1:07:48.440 I think the only reason why, like their reaction is 1:07:48.480 --> 1:07:51.120 probably how some people are feeling because the way that 1:07:51.280 --> 1:07:54.480 Kamala came in and just like like she bullied it 1:07:54.600 --> 1:07:56.760 like for like so fast, like the first two weeks, 1:07:56.840 --> 1:07:59.520 first day, first two days, I think people expected to 1:07:59.560 --> 1:08:02.400 see that instant like gratification and right. 1:08:02.400 --> 1:08:03.440 Now it is. 1:08:04.960 --> 1:08:09.640 Yeah, right stream back here like a lot. 1:08:09.760 --> 1:08:13.920 This is exactly how the process is, right, Yeah, I 1:08:14.080 --> 1:08:14.600 know what I would like. 1:08:14.720 --> 1:08:17.800 Colorado was called for Kamala expected, but just noting. 1:08:17.920 --> 1:08:19.800 I think I did I get called? 1:08:21.640 --> 1:08:24.479 I know it's got called on my screen right now, 1:08:24.560 --> 1:08:26.280 Donald Trump is up fifty one. 1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:29.360 To I really would like to know where it was 1:08:29.479 --> 1:08:31.719 by Trump this time in twenty twenty. 1:08:32.360 --> 1:08:33.160 That's what I would. 1:08:32.960 --> 1:08:33.559 Look it up. 1:08:34.120 --> 1:08:36.720 Well, we didn't know a lot at this time in 1:08:36.840 --> 1:08:37.439 twenty twenty. 1:08:37.600 --> 1:08:41.040 We took a whole week, practically Saturday, for us to 1:08:41.439 --> 1:08:43.240 get to the point where we thought we know the president. 1:08:43.280 --> 1:08:45.640 I remember we did coverage that night and we went 1:08:45.680 --> 1:08:47.679 to bed believing the Democrat was going to lose. 1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:49.600 Yeah, we were, We was really We woke up the 1:08:49.720 --> 1:08:52.880 next morning, in our whole days, the whole set, we 1:08:52.960 --> 1:08:55.880 thought we went to bed and that we had lost. 1:08:56.120 --> 1:08:57.840 So it looked like this kind Yes, it looked like 1:08:58.240 --> 1:08:59.880 I don't have the whole country, but I do know 1:09:00.040 --> 1:09:03.120 at this point in twenty twenty, Uh, Donald Trump was 1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:09.280 doing better than right now in Georgia. Right, so he's underperforming. 1:09:09.720 --> 1:09:12.679 It's twenty twenty numbers in Georgia at this point compared 1:09:12.720 --> 1:09:14.080 to twenty twenty, we didn't. 1:09:13.880 --> 1:09:14.880 See some music in some week. 1:09:18.240 --> 1:09:21.639 County, isn't it right? Not yet county? You said no, no, yeah, 1:09:22.160 --> 1:09:24.439 still the ones that be ordered to huka. 1:09:24.280 --> 1:09:25.200 We are, we are? 1:09:26.000 --> 1:09:27.200 I do got to ask a question too. 1:09:27.280 --> 1:09:28.559 You know, when you look at some of these elections 1:09:28.640 --> 1:09:32.599 in these other countries, right, it's not as long, it's 1:09:32.760 --> 1:09:35.320 a lot less than than what we do here. And 1:09:35.439 --> 1:09:36.760 I feel like, do you think there should be a 1:09:36.920 --> 1:09:39.160 cap on the amount of money raised? When it comes 1:09:39.160 --> 1:09:41.120 to yes? I mean because I mean they're raising over 1:09:41.160 --> 1:09:43.120 a billion dollars each. They haven't send any money on 1:09:43.560 --> 1:09:45.519 all types of fripulous stuff. Do you think that we 1:09:45.520 --> 1:09:47.479 should have a cap on the amount of that we 1:09:47.640 --> 1:09:48.960 raised and the amount. 1:09:48.680 --> 1:09:49.360 Of time and why? 1:09:49.600 --> 1:09:49.800 Yes? 1:09:49.960 --> 1:09:51.840 Well a lot of countries do that. 1:09:52.040 --> 1:09:55.920 France for example, that yes, Canada and where you have 1:09:56.000 --> 1:09:59.160 a limited time of even campaigning. To your point, the 1:09:59.240 --> 1:10:02.640 money in politics, which you know Quinton obviously runs the 1:10:02.720 --> 1:10:05.200 collective pack, which is a part of raising money, but 1:10:05.320 --> 1:10:07.559 the donor classes we talked about on this show frequently 1:10:07.640 --> 1:10:10.800 is largely white and male, and you can really influence 1:10:11.000 --> 1:10:14.040 how campaigns and candidates feel and how they move and 1:10:14.080 --> 1:10:16.240 things that they say. I think if there is a limit, 1:10:16.800 --> 1:10:19.360 or even if they're publicly funded, you would get down 1:10:19.400 --> 1:10:23.160 to the meat of policy and what actually matters, not all. 1:10:23.120 --> 1:10:25.240 Of this kobuki theater, not all of this glitter. 1:10:25.920 --> 1:10:28.920 A lot of money goes on media buys, uh, which 1:10:29.080 --> 1:10:32.720 you know, yes, you say frivolous, but I don't know 1:10:32.840 --> 1:10:35.760 how frivolous that is, because that is how a lot 1:10:35.800 --> 1:10:39.480 of Americans consume information. That's how they get news. Unfortunately 1:10:39.560 --> 1:10:41.160 it's not a lot of readers, but we have a 1:10:41.200 --> 1:10:44.880 lot of watchers. I also think if you are looking 1:10:44.960 --> 1:10:48.360 at the public funding of some of these campaigns, uh, 1:10:48.479 --> 1:10:49.599 the process looks different. 1:10:49.800 --> 1:10:49.920 Right. 1:10:50.000 --> 1:10:52.080 Like we've talked about this on Native lampod about having 1:10:52.120 --> 1:10:55.840 audiences in debates, but you get so much applause that 1:10:55.960 --> 1:10:58.680 you're you know, missing what the candidates are putting forward 1:10:58.720 --> 1:11:01.559 to the audience in a very serious So, Yes, definitely, 1:11:01.680 --> 1:11:05.320 I'm for limiting the amount of time for campaigns and 1:11:05.400 --> 1:11:07.280 also limiting, uh, the money that. 1:11:07.360 --> 1:11:10.719 Goes in as voters. I think it exhaust voters. They 1:11:11.040 --> 1:11:14.960 two years of this out in and out exhausts us. 1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:16.640 And if we had a season that we can look 1:11:16.680 --> 1:11:18.519 forward to where we know it's gonna start, and. 1:11:18.560 --> 1:11:20.000 There's an end to that. I agree. 1:11:20.160 --> 1:11:21.800 I think I'm exhausted right now. 1:11:22.040 --> 1:11:24.240 Well, don't be too exhausted yet. You got a couple 1:11:24.320 --> 1:11:27.000 more hours of coverage, good sir. I want to come 1:11:27.080 --> 1:11:29.960 back to you really quick, Quentin. One with some bad 1:11:30.040 --> 1:11:32.439 news and one with some good news. The bad news 1:11:32.600 --> 1:11:35.400 is that even though we hoped for a miracle and 1:11:35.479 --> 1:11:37.840 a hail Mary in Texas with seventy seven percent of 1:11:37.920 --> 1:11:42.719 the precincts reporting, Colin Alred is not lost to Ted Cruse, 1:11:42.800 --> 1:11:45.479 the incumbent who is really just not worth the damn 1:11:45.560 --> 1:11:46.240 ladies and gentlemen. 1:11:46.360 --> 1:11:50.040 However, in Maryland, Angela. 1:11:49.680 --> 1:11:53.519 Also Brooks has become the second black woman senator. All Right, 1:11:53.680 --> 1:11:57.479 you join at LISTA Rochester, and I gotta feel good 1:11:57.479 --> 1:11:57.800 about that. 1:11:57.880 --> 1:12:03.120 Clinton, very good, good, Well, but let let Quinn have 1:12:03.280 --> 1:12:03.679 this moment. 1:12:04.320 --> 1:12:09.200 Sorry, I know, I mean looks it's historic to put 1:12:09.479 --> 1:12:11.920 again two black women in the US Senate in one election. 1:12:12.240 --> 1:12:17.479 Yes we we we know, uh, the opportunity that her 1:12:17.560 --> 1:12:19.639 being there is going to provide to so many families 1:12:19.680 --> 1:12:22.639 throughout Maryland, but also to so many black candidates around 1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:25.559 the country. Seeing as a possibility that I can run 1:12:25.640 --> 1:12:27.200 stay wide and be victorious. 1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:30.280 It's incredible. And so again they're calling on we're leading 1:12:30.320 --> 1:12:32.160 in Arizona. We're leading in Arizona. 1:12:32.320 --> 1:12:35.479 Again, let's be patient tonight, but again let's applaud Angela 1:12:35.520 --> 1:12:38.240 also Brooks in the amazing campaign as she ran being 1:12:38.360 --> 1:12:42.000 incredibly outspent. To your point, you know, when it comes 1:12:42.040 --> 1:12:44.719 to black candidates, we have a tough time raising money. 1:12:44.960 --> 1:12:46.519 But that's why you start a collective pack. 1:12:46.600 --> 1:12:48.400 And that's why I want you to talk about because 1:12:48.560 --> 1:12:51.280 tip to your point and envy to your point. 1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:53.040 Is there too much money in politics? 1:12:53.400 --> 1:12:55.560 Yes, but while it stays, they come up with a 1:12:55.680 --> 1:12:58.360 really tremendous solution and you guys funded people from the 1:12:58.439 --> 1:12:59.960 top of the ticket all the way down ballot. 1:13:00.040 --> 1:13:01.479 Take that work. Yeah, exactly. 1:13:01.560 --> 1:13:04.320 So we launched a collective pack in twenty sixteens to 1:13:04.600 --> 1:13:07.400 really build black potical power by raising money. We know 1:13:07.520 --> 1:13:09.800 money in politics is so important. So if you're not 1:13:09.920 --> 1:13:12.760 funding our candidates, and we can't expect them to go 1:13:12.800 --> 1:13:15.040 out there and compete dollar for dollar against every by 1:13:15.080 --> 1:13:17.559 body else. And so we had over one hundred candidates 1:13:17.560 --> 1:13:21.160 on the ballot today. Hopefully most of them will be victorious. 1:13:21.479 --> 1:13:23.679 But again, this money and politics thing is a real issue, 1:13:24.040 --> 1:13:26.519 and as a people, we got to organize our money 1:13:26.600 --> 1:13:28.840 in our politics so that our folks don't get bought 1:13:28.880 --> 1:13:30.400 and sold by other communities. 1:13:30.439 --> 1:13:32.599 That's a really big issue for us moving forward. 1:13:32.880 --> 1:13:35.080 That's right. Well, we are so grateful that you joined 1:13:35.160 --> 1:13:36.960 us tonight to give you. 1:13:37.880 --> 1:13:39.200 Welcome to Howard. Welcome to Howard. 1:13:39.320 --> 1:13:41.160 Oh yeah, you're having a You appreciate it. You know, 1:13:41.360 --> 1:13:42.880 you might have a little bit of beat down there 1:13:42.960 --> 1:13:46.560 with envy, you know it all love okay today, No, 1:13:48.160 --> 1:13:50.200 that's right, I love it. Thanks you, Thank y'all. 1:13:50.320 --> 1:13:50.800 Let's see you. 1:13:59.720 --> 1:14:02.320 And Andrew is down here being our black John Kake, 1:14:02.360 --> 1:14:04.080 so you'll let him have his mohema pianos. 1:14:04.200 --> 1:14:05.080 We'll say two. 1:14:06.760 --> 1:14:09.599 Night tired after the tire the first night. 1:14:09.560 --> 1:14:13.280 Trump did call it in twenty twenty, so clearly something 1:14:13.400 --> 1:14:16.040 must have been happening like this to where he felt 1:14:16.120 --> 1:14:18.920 confident and they thought they were gonna win. 1:14:19.040 --> 1:14:20.920 Yeah, you get rid of the electoral college. 1:14:20.920 --> 1:14:22.360 But I will telling me that, Andrew, I need you 1:14:22.400 --> 1:14:22.960 to keep telling me. 1:14:23.120 --> 1:14:23.920 Yeah, I mean it's true. 1:14:24.560 --> 1:14:25.679 But here's the thing, you guys. 1:14:25.760 --> 1:14:27.880 I do think it's important to note because normally we 1:14:27.960 --> 1:14:31.120 do talk about the distinction between what's happening with the 1:14:32.360 --> 1:14:35.479 electoral college versus the popular vote. Right now, because of 1:14:35.560 --> 1:14:38.519 the number of Southern states that have been called, Donald 1:14:38.560 --> 1:14:42.439 Trump is ahead. He's forty two million plus votes to 1:14:42.560 --> 1:14:46.160 Kamala Harris's thirty seven point plus million votes, So there 1:14:46.280 --> 1:14:48.120 is a there is a disparity there as well. I 1:14:48.200 --> 1:14:50.880 do think that gap will significantly closes those West coast 1:14:50.920 --> 1:14:53.200 states coming start coming in and more of the Midwest 1:14:53.240 --> 1:14:53.720 start coming in. 1:14:53.840 --> 1:14:57.360 They said that Pennsylvania's Pennsylvania. 1:14:57.439 --> 1:14:59.920 There's only about fifty one percent of the vote in Pennsylvania. 1:15:00.040 --> 1:15:03.760 Report that she gets too close to lean in right 1:15:03.800 --> 1:15:06.000 now because I saw something slightly Trump. 1:15:06.080 --> 1:15:07.760 Okay, because I saw that, I didn't want to say it. 1:15:07.960 --> 1:15:10.040 Yeah, no, it's just that, And I was like, I 1:15:10.080 --> 1:15:10.920 don't want to be the one. 1:15:10.880 --> 1:15:11.120 To say it. 1:15:11.240 --> 1:15:13.759 It's slightly Trump, but it should be at this stage 1:15:13.800 --> 1:15:16.080 of the game. It's the larger, more populous cities that 1:15:16.160 --> 1:15:17.559 get added into the vote. 1:15:17.600 --> 1:15:20.760 Palice counted not completely. 1:15:22.040 --> 1:15:22.920 Taking a little longer. 1:15:22.720 --> 1:15:25.479 Because and then from that they'll open up early ballots, 1:15:25.520 --> 1:15:28.439 which they were not able to begin counting until tonight 1:15:28.479 --> 1:15:32.000 when the post closed and other states my state, they 1:15:32.080 --> 1:15:33.720 open them and they start to roll them in. 1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:35.479 So those early number that's how you can have. 1:15:35.479 --> 1:15:37.759 A whole state like Florida, the third largest in the country, 1:15:38.640 --> 1:15:41.640 produce its winners and losers in the first hour hour 1:15:41.680 --> 1:15:42.920 and a half after the post close. 1:15:43.040 --> 1:15:46.240 So for Pennsylvania, anybody that voted early, they're not allowed 1:15:46.320 --> 1:15:50.840 open those until polest closed, Okay, So as those get 1:15:50.960 --> 1:15:54.000 calculated and added in, you see shifts in the outcome 1:15:54.280 --> 1:15:54.719 that state. 1:15:55.040 --> 1:15:57.639 This West Wing report says presidential race as far shows 1:15:57.680 --> 1:16:00.960 no surprises on the matter. So haaris, Slovania looks better, 1:16:01.120 --> 1:16:04.439 razor thin leeds in Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia is concerning for her. 1:16:04.560 --> 1:16:09.639 Virginia not a swing state, shaking and expected. Iowa more competitive, 1:16:09.720 --> 1:16:12.520 competitive than expected. You'll recall the sel support. 1:16:14.040 --> 1:16:16.160 Being no surprises. 1:16:16.520 --> 1:16:17.719 Were we looking out for Iowa? 1:16:18.200 --> 1:16:23.120 Yeah, Iowa seeing so sometimes sitting on Twitter and you 1:16:23.160 --> 1:16:26.479 guys can confirm this over there is Trump in Iowa. 1:16:26.720 --> 1:16:28.599 He will win Iowa. I didn't expect them. 1:16:30.120 --> 1:16:32.680 And I also but the fact that she is competitive 1:16:32.800 --> 1:16:36.000 in Iowa at this stage, she should not be competitive 1:16:36.000 --> 1:16:38.599 in a state like Iowa. Iowa has been solidly Republican 1:16:38.640 --> 1:16:42.200 for the last three presidential races. Took a dip into 1:16:42.680 --> 1:16:45.120 our land with Obama and then came right back out, 1:16:45.160 --> 1:16:47.599 and it's been reliably it is not critical to her. 1:16:48.040 --> 1:16:50.879 It's not even counted by her team as being necessary 1:16:50.920 --> 1:16:51.800 for the electoral College. 1:16:53.040 --> 1:16:56.880 Oh yeah, Iowa is called for Republicans, Yes for Trump, 1:16:57.240 --> 1:16:59.880 and it will be it expected. Well, I was hoping 1:17:00.080 --> 1:17:09.120 that it is organ and she should win organ But 1:17:09.200 --> 1:17:10.720 we were just hopeful because you know, they had some 1:17:10.880 --> 1:17:11.599 reports earlier. 1:17:11.680 --> 1:17:15.639 They said the I can't think of the the poster's name. 1:17:16.000 --> 1:17:18.960 They said, yeah, they said, she always gets it right. 1:17:19.080 --> 1:17:20.840 She called it for She said, well, she actually didn't 1:17:20.880 --> 1:17:22.400 call it for Kamala. She said that it was very 1:17:22.560 --> 1:17:26.040 very close and it was leaning towards her, but within 1:17:26.120 --> 1:17:26.800 the margin of air. 1:17:27.200 --> 1:17:30.920 So, uh, yes, we are now and what is the 1:17:31.080 --> 1:17:32.080 hell is happening? 1:17:32.439 --> 1:17:38.280 Well, they people they just went reports. They're watching seeing 1:17:38.280 --> 1:17:39.960 it right, said. 1:17:39.800 --> 1:17:40.519 They counting votes. 1:17:45.200 --> 1:17:47.599 They're watching this, watching the screen. 1:17:50.520 --> 1:17:53.439 People who are I do want to set the scene 1:17:53.439 --> 1:17:55.599 for them. So there is still a sea of people 1:17:55.680 --> 1:17:59.000 who are very joyful. So we hear waves of applause 1:17:59.080 --> 1:18:02.000 and cheers as they have seen it projected on the screen. 1:18:02.120 --> 1:18:04.800 So as Don King is projecting states or showing where 1:18:05.240 --> 1:18:08.320 Vice President Harris might be leading, that's when you hear cheers. 1:18:08.520 --> 1:18:10.400 So as we get that breaking news, we will be 1:18:10.439 --> 1:18:12.240 sure to share it with you guys at home. But 1:18:12.360 --> 1:18:14.880 it is still a very joyful time here. 1:18:15.640 --> 1:18:19.200 Point out the joy because I'm looking for. 1:18:22.120 --> 1:18:23.240 This is a truck. 1:18:24.840 --> 1:18:33.680 Joy, hey, Charlemagne, and be these these folks are as 1:18:33.800 --> 1:18:36.160 novice to the process as any of us. 1:18:36.240 --> 1:18:38.960 Many of them, we got these returns. 1:18:39.000 --> 1:18:41.320 They feel a certain way about what they wanted to 1:18:41.400 --> 1:18:43.720 look like, and it doesn't reflect what they feel like 1:18:43.800 --> 1:18:46.000 it should look like. But I have if we were 1:18:46.040 --> 1:18:48.840 broadcasting to them, I'd say the same thing, which were 1:18:49.240 --> 1:18:52.400 hold your horses, calm down, wait and be patient, because 1:18:52.439 --> 1:18:55.840 when these votes are counted, you'll see a better reflection. 1:18:55.720 --> 1:18:57.240 Of what you thought the earlier part of the night 1:18:57.280 --> 1:18:58.679 should have looked like it didn't. 1:18:59.080 --> 1:18:59.640 Can we take a. 1:18:59.640 --> 1:19:01.840 Snap of this though, because there is and I know 1:19:01.920 --> 1:19:05.000 you guys can't. Hopefully they're doing audience shots there. But 1:19:05.160 --> 1:19:08.520 there was a sea of black people waiving the American 1:19:08.600 --> 1:19:15.080 flag on this historically black university, and just the dichotomy 1:19:15.200 --> 1:19:18.679 of that right that what that flag represents and has 1:19:18.800 --> 1:19:22.320 represented for us on this campus of black people, when 1:19:22.360 --> 1:19:26.960 America does still standpoise to elect the first black woman 1:19:27.120 --> 1:19:27.960 to lead the country. 1:19:28.280 --> 1:19:30.320 I just think this is a moment in history. And 1:19:30.760 --> 1:19:33.240 y'all are down there feeling away. 1:19:33.360 --> 1:19:33.840 No we are. 1:19:35.120 --> 1:19:36.960 We went to the crowd and it's this tears So 1:19:37.040 --> 1:19:40.320 there's press over here, this alumni, this students. Me and 1:19:40.400 --> 1:19:43.679 Lauren actually stuck into the alumni student section was dead sneak. 1:19:43.880 --> 1:19:46.559 Yes, we had called. They kicked us out at first, 1:19:46.600 --> 1:19:47.880 So just to let you know, they kicked us out 1:19:47.880 --> 1:19:48.120 at first. 1:19:48.160 --> 1:19:48.760 We had to go back. 1:19:48.880 --> 1:19:51.679 But then there's alumni on the side, and then there's 1:19:51.800 --> 1:19:55.080 just DMV residents and they're super duper excited. But like 1:19:55.160 --> 1:19:57.560 you said, right now they're watching CNN. They're waiting for 1:19:57.640 --> 1:19:58.799 these numbers to be announced. 1:19:58.840 --> 1:20:00.320 You just got some more. See that you didn't anounced 1:20:00.320 --> 1:20:02.400 that one? Yeah, what are you doing? One? She got two, 1:20:02.840 --> 1:20:05.519 she got twelve, one, twelve. 1:20:05.600 --> 1:20:05.760 Yeah. 1:20:06.400 --> 1:20:08.360 But remember there's a lot of state you don't have 1:20:08.439 --> 1:20:11.040 to come in, so that number will flip drafts slowly. 1:20:11.760 --> 1:20:14.600 Uh, I was not even tripping. None of the battlegrounds 1:20:14.640 --> 1:20:15.080 are really in. 1:20:15.640 --> 1:20:18.360 You know, he's still got North Carolina, Pennsylvania, I want 1:20:18.360 --> 1:20:18.759 to see. 1:20:18.600 --> 1:20:21.640 What does talk about some in North Carolina. It might 1:20:21.720 --> 1:20:22.519 make y'all happy. 1:20:23.040 --> 1:20:23.160 Uh. 1:20:23.400 --> 1:20:26.639 They had a group of natorial candidate was a brother 1:20:27.160 --> 1:20:30.080 uh named Mark Robinson and he lost. 1:20:30.560 --> 1:20:33.800 He did, He did in fact lose, no surprise no 1:20:34.360 --> 1:20:35.599 so far our viewers. 1:20:35.680 --> 1:20:39.360 You may recall Mark Robinson was the lieutenant governor running 1:20:39.400 --> 1:20:44.559 for the governor and he was the show look at 1:20:44.560 --> 1:20:46.720 for something literally literally. 1:20:47.040 --> 1:20:48.680 When transgenders on his laptop was on. 1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:52.000 Was that is that what he is? He said that 1:20:52.120 --> 1:20:56.880 he found that's like Africa foreign or something Africa born. 1:20:56.960 --> 1:21:05.160 But I'm talking about when they know, you guys look 1:21:05.240 --> 1:21:18.400 and I'm looking out Africa. Yes, I need one more 1:21:18.439 --> 1:21:19.679 worry than Africa porn. 1:21:23.479 --> 1:21:25.840 How does that fair for her in North Carolina? Since 1:21:25.880 --> 1:21:27.360 the governor won. 1:21:27.360 --> 1:21:29.519 The Democratic government, it should help her. 1:21:30.479 --> 1:21:33.360 But it gives you an indication of how voters are voting, 1:21:33.920 --> 1:21:36.400 so if they declared his loss. But again, he has 1:21:36.439 --> 1:21:38.640 become an embarrassment to the Republican Party. So this is 1:21:38.640 --> 1:21:40.519 where you might see some of those split ballots. 1:21:40.960 --> 1:21:42.920 But that is it wouldn't be embarrassed if he was white. 1:21:44.080 --> 1:21:46.320 I think that was some of the things that he 1:21:46.439 --> 1:21:50.840 was saying and doing were I think universally. Yeah, yeah, 1:21:52.280 --> 1:21:55.040 But I'll say this, Charlotte, because you brought up something 1:21:55.080 --> 1:21:56.559 I think this speaks to it. And you talked about 1:21:56.560 --> 1:21:59.040 how do we come together that to the country no 1:21:59.120 --> 1:22:01.120 matter who wins, and I have to say, and this, 1:22:01.360 --> 1:22:03.840 you know may be controversial to some people, but I 1:22:03.880 --> 1:22:07.120 actually have no interest in coming together. I said, I 1:22:07.240 --> 1:22:10.599 really don't. I don't, I have no effen I don't. 1:22:10.680 --> 1:22:13.000 I have no interest in meeting a bigot in the middle. 1:22:13.120 --> 1:22:14.479 I'm not trying to understand. 1:22:14.520 --> 1:22:17.840 I know very well their perspective and if our disagreement, 1:22:17.960 --> 1:22:21.840 as the saying goes, is rooted in you denying my humanity, 1:22:22.120 --> 1:22:24.160 I'm not trying to convince you of such things. 1:22:24.320 --> 1:22:27.120 I say, yes, stay over there, and I respect the honesty. 1:22:27.280 --> 1:22:28.960 I would rather you look me in my face than 1:22:29.000 --> 1:22:31.040 tell me how you feel than the smile on my 1:22:31.120 --> 1:22:33.760 face and feel. 1:22:32.920 --> 1:22:34.080 The way that I know you feel. 1:22:34.400 --> 1:22:36.800 So I think that is something that we have to 1:22:36.880 --> 1:22:38.800 have a serious conversation in this country about, because we're 1:22:38.800 --> 1:22:41.200 not at a place where everybody's like, okay, guys, you 1:22:41.280 --> 1:22:42.920 guys won this time. We're all gonna go back to 1:22:42.960 --> 1:22:43.519 our corners. 1:22:43.560 --> 1:22:46.320 Even Stevens no I think we are that the Civil 1:22:46.360 --> 1:22:49.640 War did not begin with the first firing, you know, 1:22:50.080 --> 1:22:50.759 of a pistol. 1:22:51.040 --> 1:22:53.080 It began long before that. There was this court, and 1:22:53.120 --> 1:22:55.519 I think we're seeing something like that happen in this country. 1:22:55.760 --> 1:22:57.800 And then when you broaden that out and be and 1:22:57.880 --> 1:23:00.920 this is key, when the United States is at war 1:23:01.120 --> 1:23:05.000 with itself on the global stage, we look incredibly weak. 1:23:05.240 --> 1:23:09.679 And so we've already seen threats to our country this cycle. 1:23:10.280 --> 1:23:13.200 And so I'd imagine Russia might have company this go 1:23:13.320 --> 1:23:17.439 around in Iran, in China, all empires fall. America has 1:23:17.479 --> 1:23:19.800 been a superpower for the long time because of us, 1:23:19.920 --> 1:23:23.320 because of our bodies, we created this superpower. We are 1:23:23.479 --> 1:23:26.719 primed right now to be taken out. So this election 1:23:26.880 --> 1:23:30.639 not only has consequence for policy here domestically, it has 1:23:30.720 --> 1:23:34.720 consequences for our global standing. And that's a very serious thing. 1:23:34.880 --> 1:23:37.440 I agree with you. If I was a political strategist, 1:23:37.479 --> 1:23:39.760 and call me naive, I wouldn't want to just chalk 1:23:39.880 --> 1:23:44.959 up what we're seeing what the Trump thing, to just bigotry, 1:23:45.120 --> 1:23:47.360 to just racism, to just sexism. I really would want, 1:23:47.400 --> 1:23:49.960 I really want to see what he's doing that is 1:23:50.080 --> 1:23:53.040 moving people and has been moving people for the past that. 1:23:53.520 --> 1:23:56.240 Think that's racism and sexism. I think it's I think it's. 1:23:56.080 --> 1:23:57.400 Got to be a little bit more more than that 1:23:57.520 --> 1:23:59.840 are It might be what what are Democrats not doing? 1:24:00.760 --> 1:24:02.519 You know, that's what I would want to know. I 1:24:02.840 --> 1:24:05.559 can't just say, hey, everybody's racist, everybody's a bigger I. 1:24:05.600 --> 1:24:07.880 Think that that is very true. 1:24:07.960 --> 1:24:10.040 I think we've heard from our own friends, if but 1:24:10.160 --> 1:24:13.080 for super honest, even in our own conversations right about 1:24:13.120 --> 1:24:16.400 where there's shortcomings or where we don't feel represented inside 1:24:16.400 --> 1:24:18.880 of a big ten. You know, it's like, even when 1:24:18.920 --> 1:24:22.360 you talk about the way that consultants are used, or 1:24:22.439 --> 1:24:23.280 you talk about. 1:24:23.080 --> 1:24:25.200 The way that candidates have to fight to be seen. 1:24:25.360 --> 1:24:29.280 Even in Andrew's experience, Andrew wasn't They didn't decide that 1:24:29.400 --> 1:24:32.559 Andrew was the darling of the Democratic Party. Fought hard 1:24:32.680 --> 1:24:35.439 af to be at the top of the ticket, to 1:24:35.560 --> 1:24:38.120 be the the to get out of the primary, and 1:24:38.200 --> 1:24:41.839 to be the Democratic Party's nominee for governor of Florida. 1:24:42.200 --> 1:24:44.920 That wasn't easy. You fought to the last name, and 1:24:45.040 --> 1:24:47.160 the media had really called him, they called it for 1:24:48.880 --> 1:24:49.479 way Graham. 1:24:49.600 --> 1:24:54.320 But so about let's recognize that half the country isn't voting. 1:24:55.160 --> 1:24:57.600 Half the people of the country who are qualified to 1:24:57.720 --> 1:25:02.080 vote don't vote, just don't exercises. So your point around, 1:25:02.840 --> 1:25:06.200 I want to be with you because I wanted badly 1:25:06.280 --> 1:25:09.560 to be there in twenty sixteen when I thought my 1:25:09.680 --> 1:25:13.400 neighbors and everybody who I trusted that was white betrayed me. 1:25:13.720 --> 1:25:15.920 And don't give it am I'm about who I am 1:25:15.920 --> 1:25:18.040 and so on and so forth. But the lived experience 1:25:18.160 --> 1:25:21.680 is much more nuanced than that. All we walk this 1:25:21.880 --> 1:25:26.479 earth very differently between you know, between people. So I 1:25:26.560 --> 1:25:29.760 can't say and resolve that an election is decided just 1:25:29.920 --> 1:25:34.160 that way. I think Trump reaches at something well that's 1:25:34.240 --> 1:25:37.720 not even that clever. If you are a person and 1:25:37.880 --> 1:25:40.480 you don't have a perfect life and therefore you have grievances, 1:25:40.920 --> 1:25:41.519 Trump has. 1:25:41.520 --> 1:25:44.680 Taught you how to complain and like make no apologies 1:25:44.720 --> 1:25:45.000 about it. 1:25:45.080 --> 1:25:50.280 He complains and then points you to the people who 1:25:50.280 --> 1:25:53.599 are responsible for your pain. And they're the people who 1:25:53.640 --> 1:25:56.479 are brown, and they're black, and they're women, and they're 1:25:56.520 --> 1:26:00.880 everybody that's not like you. And so if we were 1:26:00.920 --> 1:26:03.240 able to run a race trying to build community off 1:26:03.280 --> 1:26:05.400 of people who got complaints about how fucked up shit 1:26:05.560 --> 1:26:08.400 is we went to I mean we you know, we'd lead, 1:26:08.520 --> 1:26:12.360 we'd connect with people by making that the case that 1:26:13.080 --> 1:26:15.719 groceries are too high. This is happening, This is happening. 1:26:16.320 --> 1:26:18.800 Jobs are being shipped here, and that group is responsible 1:26:18.880 --> 1:26:22.200 for why you're not living your best life. That's not 1:26:22.360 --> 1:26:26.760 rocket science politics. It's the politics of grievance. They win campaigns, 1:26:26.800 --> 1:26:29.080 and sometimes that kind of politicians loses well. 1:26:29.120 --> 1:26:31.639 To that point, Andrew, I agree with you, but black 1:26:31.680 --> 1:26:33.080 people do have grievances. 1:26:33.280 --> 1:26:33.920 I agree. 1:26:33.920 --> 1:26:36.040 We do have a community that we point to, which 1:26:36.120 --> 1:26:39.120 is usually white supremacy, but we don't have elected officials 1:26:39.160 --> 1:26:40.719 that are willing to do that. We don't have elected 1:26:40.720 --> 1:26:43.120 officials that are willing to challenge that system of white supremacy. 1:26:43.280 --> 1:26:46.920 Largely, I don't think they don't speak directly to a 1:26:46.960 --> 1:26:50.040 lot of stuff when I'm not like, I remember we 1:26:50.160 --> 1:26:54.080 did that the interview that you said in from Yeah, 1:26:54.120 --> 1:26:54.880 the Congress. 1:26:55.080 --> 1:26:58.720 From Florida, Biran Donald's that was it. 1:26:58.880 --> 1:27:00.200 We had to push elect. 1:27:02.800 --> 1:27:05.439 But that's a Republican conservative. If youre talking about Byron Donald, 1:27:05.560 --> 1:27:06.240 no no, no, no no. 1:27:06.360 --> 1:27:10.439 I'm talking about Wes Moore and I love him to death, 1:27:10.520 --> 1:27:13.759 but I just felt like in all of his speaking 1:27:13.880 --> 1:27:16.800 it was very much like high level hope love, and 1:27:16.880 --> 1:27:19.679 it wasn't. There were certain things that like he wouldn't 1:27:19.680 --> 1:27:24.040 even directly say, and I'm like, why, I yeah, And 1:27:24.400 --> 1:27:29.840 there is the Republicans do they But they they running 1:27:29.880 --> 1:27:32.160 different areas and they don't. They're not up against the 1:27:32.240 --> 1:27:35.519 same things we have to when we're when we're black 1:27:35.600 --> 1:27:38.360 in a progressive party or in a Democratic party, we 1:27:38.560 --> 1:27:41.519 have a double big ten to win over. We have 1:27:41.680 --> 1:27:44.519 to prove to white folks that we're worthy of election, 1:27:45.000 --> 1:27:46.760 and we have to prove the black folks that were 1:27:46.800 --> 1:27:48.600 down for the cause, and we have to prove to 1:27:48.640 --> 1:27:51.360 everybody else that we still see their grievances. White folks 1:27:51.400 --> 1:27:54.200 can come on and say, trust me, little brown person, 1:27:54.320 --> 1:27:56.559 little black person, I got you, and I could probably 1:27:56.600 --> 1:27:58.880 solve your problems better than you. And if you don't 1:27:58.880 --> 1:28:00.599 trust me on this, that's fine, because there's a whole 1:28:00.600 --> 1:28:03.680 bunch of white folks that'll elect me to super se 1:28:03.840 --> 1:28:06.400 whatever minority you are of the vote. What I would 1:28:06.439 --> 1:28:08.080 say is that what I what I took issue with 1:28:08.400 --> 1:28:12.960 is there are mayors in mostly black cities, There are 1:28:13.160 --> 1:28:15.680 members of the Congressional Black caucus. Some that are in 1:28:15.760 --> 1:28:18.800 majority minority districts, which means that it's mostly black or 1:28:18.840 --> 1:28:21.240 mostly black and brown or whatever. But there are also 1:28:21.320 --> 1:28:24.280 a lot of them who are in white white folks 1:28:24.360 --> 1:28:27.280 districts too, who see issues similar to us, who might 1:28:27.360 --> 1:28:30.120 have that Black Lives Matter signing in the yard for 1:28:30.280 --> 1:28:33.920 those folks, and those folks will absolutely stand with us 1:28:34.000 --> 1:28:36.880 and say the hard thing. Barbara Lee, who is retiring 1:28:37.000 --> 1:28:42.640 now and will be replaced tonight by Latifa Simmons in Oakland, California, 1:28:42.760 --> 1:28:44.679 is one of those folks. She was the only person 1:28:44.760 --> 1:28:47.040 that was willing to stand up against the Iraq war. 1:28:47.240 --> 1:28:47.400 Right. 1:28:47.880 --> 1:28:50.640 So we have those members, but there are few and 1:28:50.680 --> 1:28:53.639 far between, especially if they have just leadership ambition. 1:29:00.240 --> 1:29:02.360 I mean even her the town the town hall. 1:29:02.560 --> 1:29:05.160 And you know when I thought it was great when 1:29:05.240 --> 1:29:08.200 Charlotte was asking Kamala about like why can't you just 1:29:08.320 --> 1:29:09.280 say what you will do? 1:29:10.840 --> 1:29:11.880 Yeah, why can't you just you know? 1:29:11.960 --> 1:29:14.280 And she she's she worked her way around and she 1:29:14.360 --> 1:29:16.360 answered it, but she still had to work away. 1:29:16.600 --> 1:29:18.360 There is a way in which we still have to 1:29:18.439 --> 1:29:21.600 be in the politics where we're not the majority who election, Like, 1:29:21.760 --> 1:29:21.960 what do. 1:29:22.000 --> 1:29:23.959 Y'all think would happen though. If there was a politician, 1:29:24.040 --> 1:29:27.640 I was just like, you know what I mean, on 1:29:27.760 --> 1:29:29.000 our side that looks like us. 1:29:29.200 --> 1:29:31.640 I want to tell you there are politicians. 1:29:35.080 --> 1:29:39.439 Ticket that's about a Barack Obama. That's why the black 1:29:39.840 --> 1:29:41.400 said that, didn't you know? 1:29:42.280 --> 1:29:44.320 But what you guys are talking about is at the 1:29:44.400 --> 1:29:48.400 presidential level, and politics is about addition, not subtraction. 1:29:48.680 --> 1:29:50.880 So you do have to say things to appeal to 1:29:51.000 --> 1:29:52.320 a broad colge or not. 1:29:52.840 --> 1:29:55.000 But I would challenge or not say things, but I 1:29:55.040 --> 1:29:58.000 would challenge you to say there are tons of politicians 1:29:58.040 --> 1:30:00.519 who do call a thing a thing as speak very 1:30:00.600 --> 1:30:03.080 truthfully about it. Congressom and Ayana Presley is one of 1:30:03.120 --> 1:30:05.400 those people. Congressman Barbara Lee is one of those people. 1:30:05.600 --> 1:30:07.320 There are mayors, se rev The. 1:30:07.360 --> 1:30:09.640 Problem is is that if we could name check them, 1:30:09.720 --> 1:30:13.800 then they're not enough. I agree, but we're talking about 1:30:13.840 --> 1:30:17.080 the majority. Experience with politics is you're listening to this 1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:20.400 politician and nothing they're saying is believable. Yeah, that's your 1:30:20.479 --> 1:30:23.240 lived experience. Because I had these problems before you got there. 1:30:23.600 --> 1:30:26.000 You told me you'd solve them. I'm up to elect 1:30:26.040 --> 1:30:28.479 you again and the same problems are still persistent. 1:30:28.680 --> 1:30:29.680 Yeah, now one. 1:30:29.760 --> 1:30:31.439 I try to be honest with people any time I've 1:30:31.479 --> 1:30:35.000 ever run it shared that this doesn't change overnight. This 1:30:35.080 --> 1:30:38.280 system didn't get here overnight. If we're four hundred years 1:30:38.400 --> 1:30:42.840 here and through a civil war that divided the country, 1:30:42.880 --> 1:30:44.960 it came out of the civil war, had what less 1:30:44.960 --> 1:30:48.200 than ten years of independence, our ability to run right, 1:30:48.320 --> 1:30:50.880 and then the reconstruction laws got taken away from us, 1:30:51.240 --> 1:30:52.120 and then we get another. 1:30:51.960 --> 1:30:53.360 One hundred years and when we found. 1:30:53.120 --> 1:30:55.160 Ourselves in civil rights and we barely get out of that. 1:30:55.680 --> 1:30:59.519 That system does not change overnight. It was not invented overnight. 1:31:00.160 --> 1:31:04.000 Requires a level of patience, sophistication, but also stick to 1:31:04.080 --> 1:31:06.760 itiveness that we're not going to give up on that fight. 1:31:06.880 --> 1:31:09.840 And so it isn't defended from one election to another. 1:31:10.640 --> 1:31:13.599 Movements require us to stay in them in order. 1:31:13.479 --> 1:31:14.120 For them to move. 1:31:14.240 --> 1:31:15.719 I think he's one of the things, like she said, 1:31:15.920 --> 1:31:18.000 it's like when you look at a Barack Obama right 1:31:18.040 --> 1:31:20.360 and you say, wow, we finally got somebody that looks 1:31:20.439 --> 1:31:20.600 like me. 1:31:20.880 --> 1:31:22.479 He's gonna do something for my community. 1:31:22.720 --> 1:31:25.479 He's gonna stand up when the police officers killed the 1:31:25.520 --> 1:31:27.640 brother for no reason. He's gonna stand up when he 1:31:27.640 --> 1:31:29.160 sees this, he's gonna stand up when he sees in 1:31:29.360 --> 1:31:30.240 justice and he. 1:31:30.280 --> 1:31:33.560 Doesn't, or when he did, or we ended up with 1:31:33.680 --> 1:31:35.759 Skip Gates, what did they have him do a beer summit? 1:31:36.120 --> 1:31:39.040 He called out racistem for a white black professor getting 1:31:39.080 --> 1:31:41.799 in his own house getting arrested. 1:31:43.360 --> 1:31:45.600 That's crazy. When he said Trayvon Martin could be my. 1:31:45.680 --> 1:31:47.680 Son, and then what he ended up then with with 1:31:47.800 --> 1:31:49.599 after that, he's got to sit down with white folks 1:31:49.680 --> 1:31:52.640 as the president of the United States and then retract 1:31:52.720 --> 1:31:56.400 it practically and make it appear as if no, your 1:31:56.479 --> 1:31:58.120 white son would have experienced the same thing. 1:31:58.560 --> 1:31:59.040 Not true. 1:31:59.360 --> 1:32:03.040 So when he's stepped out, Democrats, Republicans, everybody in between 1:32:03.439 --> 1:32:05.840 clipped his knuckles and we're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, You're. 1:32:05.720 --> 1:32:09.560 Not that man in this house. He didn't got to 1:32:09.560 --> 1:32:10.280 be something different. 1:32:10.400 --> 1:32:12.439 But I think, I think to Laura's point, because I 1:32:12.560 --> 1:32:15.120 understand what she was saying about Governor West forard the 1:32:15.160 --> 1:32:16.120 democratic purpose. 1:32:15.880 --> 1:32:17.120 And I love him. By the way, I thought he 1:32:17.280 --> 1:32:19.800 was fired I think president at some point, But I 1:32:19.960 --> 1:32:20.559 was like, why. 1:32:22.840 --> 1:32:25.280 Right, I completely understand what you're saying. I think Wes 1:32:25.400 --> 1:32:28.760 Moore is Governor Moore is a wonderful person, wonderful human being. 1:32:28.920 --> 1:32:31.640 I also think he's very politically ambitious, and so he 1:32:31.920 --> 1:32:34.800 is setting his sights on I need to continue to 1:32:34.920 --> 1:32:39.000 build and attract people to my campaign Sadly, in politics, 1:32:39.040 --> 1:32:43.000 it's too common a thing where you can profess loudly 1:32:43.160 --> 1:32:45.240 on what you'll do for everybody else, and you. 1:32:45.280 --> 1:32:46.679 Whisper that shit to black folks. 1:32:47.000 --> 1:32:49.960 You professed loudly what you'll do for everybody else's issue, 1:32:50.320 --> 1:32:52.200 but you go behind the curtain and say, okay, but 1:32:52.280 --> 1:32:55.360 black folks, I got y'all. Once we get in an office, right, 1:32:55.720 --> 1:32:57.519 I think that you do have to challenge those and 1:32:57.920 --> 1:32:59.960 confront those systems. I don't think we're there yet. 1:33:00.320 --> 1:33:02.960 We are fourteen but we are because she did it 1:33:03.160 --> 1:33:04.080 right well. 1:33:04.920 --> 1:33:07.679 Vice President Harris said, but we're fourteen percent of the population, 1:33:07.920 --> 1:33:11.240 and so when you're talk about that level, you do 1:33:11.360 --> 1:33:13.200 have to make an appeal. Now, if Vice President Harris 1:33:13.240 --> 1:33:16.720 comes out and says, I for I'm the president for reparations, 1:33:18.200 --> 1:33:22.080 I believe you know, I'm going to eradicate the criminal 1:33:22.280 --> 1:33:27.280 justice system. I am going to write the wrongs of housing. 1:33:27.560 --> 1:33:29.320 You know, black folks have been and this is her 1:33:29.439 --> 1:33:30.840 chief message that she's banging. 1:33:31.240 --> 1:33:33.160 She would not have the coalition that she did, she 1:33:33.160 --> 1:33:35.840 would have the chaining So but the question, well, the 1:33:35.960 --> 1:33:38.120 question I would put to you then, is is it 1:33:38.280 --> 1:33:41.160 important for her to get in office and then hold 1:33:41.240 --> 1:33:44.880 her accountable to our agenda or do we want her 1:33:44.920 --> 1:33:48.280 to go out there ra rah rah and normalize speaking 1:33:48.320 --> 1:33:50.559 about our issues at the risk that she. 1:33:50.640 --> 1:33:51.479 May not win in a list. 1:33:51.600 --> 1:33:55.120 I want her to run the race on the campaign 1:33:55.360 --> 1:33:57.800 and on the issues that she's running. And the fact 1:33:57.840 --> 1:33:59.880 that she's the first candidate for president of the United 1:34:00.120 --> 1:34:05.080 States to have a black male agenda, ever, is progress. 1:34:05.800 --> 1:34:08.360 Obama didn't have a black man's agenda, right or a 1:34:08.400 --> 1:34:11.120 black women's agenda. That doesn't mean he didn't do things 1:34:11.160 --> 1:34:13.840 that benefit our community, but he did not feel at 1:34:13.880 --> 1:34:17.000 the time that he could run realistically for president of 1:34:17.040 --> 1:34:19.559 the United States with a black agenda and said as 1:34:19.680 --> 1:34:22.240 much when asked about what your black agenda, said, my 1:34:22.320 --> 1:34:25.120 agenda is for the American people and we all benefit 1:34:25.160 --> 1:34:27.120 from that, and that had to be good enough for 1:34:27.240 --> 1:34:27.880 us at the time. 1:34:28.360 --> 1:34:30.719 Kamala didn't didn't do that. She actually took an added 1:34:30.880 --> 1:34:34.280 risk by saying black men calling us out, and not 1:34:34.479 --> 1:34:37.600 just that, not superficially. She then put the policy behind it, 1:34:37.680 --> 1:34:40.479 and it didn't begin an end with jail and drugs. 1:34:41.400 --> 1:34:43.400 I just I want to put it out really quick, 1:34:44.120 --> 1:34:44.800 really really quick. 1:34:44.920 --> 1:34:48.360 Nebraska is in and I want to I want to 1:34:48.400 --> 1:34:50.520 say this because I think this is significant. 1:34:51.520 --> 1:34:55.840 In twenty twenty, Donald Trump won four of the five. 1:34:56.040 --> 1:34:57.800 This is one of the states that split four of 1:34:57.880 --> 1:35:02.559 the five elect or old votes in Nebraska tonight, Donald 1:35:02.560 --> 1:35:03.880 Trump won three of the five. 1:35:04.120 --> 1:35:05.880 So two of those are going to Kamala Harris. 1:35:06.040 --> 1:35:08.880 Well, that's are a requirement for her in order to 1:35:08.960 --> 1:35:11.400 win the Blue in order to win the presidency, because 1:35:11.400 --> 1:35:14.080 if she won all the Blue Wall and did not 1:35:14.200 --> 1:35:17.120 capture those two congressional seatside of Nebraska, she still could 1:35:17.200 --> 1:35:19.400 not have been president. She would be one vote elect 1:35:19.720 --> 1:35:22.840 vote to a college. Okay, so Nebraska had she needed 1:35:22.840 --> 1:35:23.639 some looking goods. 1:35:24.080 --> 1:35:26.120 She needed those two. But I'm saying in twenty twenty, 1:35:26.240 --> 1:35:27.439 Joe Biden got only got one. 1:35:27.800 --> 1:35:38.920 God Well, come, welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. 1:35:40.720 --> 1:35:42.879 Someone and I'm on the live chat for the Breakfast 1:35:42.920 --> 1:35:45.200 Club's YouTube channel. There's over ten thousand people in here, 1:35:45.360 --> 1:35:47.880 and someone is asking for Yeah, thank you guys for 1:35:48.000 --> 1:35:49.960 tuning in. And someone is asking if you guys can 1:35:50.000 --> 1:35:52.160 talk more about North Carolina because it's really close. 1:35:52.920 --> 1:35:53.040 Uh. 1:35:53.520 --> 1:35:55.080 Yes, we expected it to be close. 1:35:55.160 --> 1:35:56.960 One of the things that I think is really important 1:35:56.960 --> 1:35:59.760 for us to note is that Shakiah Harris is who 1:35:59.760 --> 1:36:00.120 act that. 1:36:03.000 --> 1:36:03.040 Is? 1:36:04.280 --> 1:36:10.840 Oh God, anyway, Shakuia, we love you. Ignore Leonard, you 1:36:10.880 --> 1:36:11.920 could say some smart mouth. 1:36:11.960 --> 1:36:12.760 Damn you ain't ignor. 1:36:16.040 --> 1:36:17.880 But I think the one thing that's important here is 1:36:17.920 --> 1:36:20.000 in North Carolina, this has been a state that we 1:36:20.160 --> 1:36:23.680 have not won. It's Barack Obama in two thousand and eight, 1:36:23.760 --> 1:36:27.320 and so Kamala Harris winning this tonight, if she does, 1:36:27.560 --> 1:36:32.200 it will be another history making year demonstrates demonstrates that 1:36:32.840 --> 1:36:34.920 black folks, when they're at the top of the ticket, 1:36:34.960 --> 1:36:36.800 can capture states that some other folks can't. 1:36:37.400 --> 1:36:39.839 Well, I will tell you the music. 1:36:41.800 --> 1:36:42.639 Folk walking at home. 1:36:42.720 --> 1:36:46.480 They just dropped in beyond thank you for that questionground 1:36:46.520 --> 1:36:46.680 we did. 1:36:47.040 --> 1:36:49.360 She didn't need, she didn't need North Carolina to win 1:36:49.439 --> 1:36:53.160 the race for president and the electoral College. North Carolina 1:36:53.200 --> 1:36:54.960 would be icing on the cake for us if we 1:36:55.080 --> 1:36:57.759 were able to get it. And it is absolutely expected 1:36:57.800 --> 1:37:00.360 to be close. If it comes over at. 1:37:00.280 --> 1:37:04.040 All, I knocked on doors in North Carolina on Saturday. 1:37:04.080 --> 1:37:07.120 So I'm expecting a victory and I spoke at churches. 1:37:08.640 --> 1:37:10.400 Yes, I did you know another grievance. 1:37:10.439 --> 1:37:13.040 I think Trump speaks to I think he speaks to 1:37:13.120 --> 1:37:13.439 the poor. 1:37:14.040 --> 1:37:16.240 Better than to put your mic closer the poor. 1:37:18.040 --> 1:37:18.840 It's poor period. 1:37:18.880 --> 1:37:21.240 When people hear people, when you hear somebody talking about 1:37:21.520 --> 1:37:24.479 you know, uh, you can't pay your bills, you can't 1:37:24.560 --> 1:37:26.559 keep food on your table, you can't keep a roof 1:37:26.640 --> 1:37:28.680 over your head and needs it. But then he'll mix 1:37:28.800 --> 1:37:30.640 in these are the people taking the job from you. 1:37:30.720 --> 1:37:32.600 This is why you can't eat. I think all of 1:37:32.640 --> 1:37:37.479 that works. I think that that's not true, but I 1:37:40.520 --> 1:37:42.320 think it's I think it's more rooted than this. This 1:37:42.400 --> 1:37:44.920 is this is what I think is causing more more 1:37:44.960 --> 1:37:47.120 of a racially diverse coalition to come into the Republican 1:37:47.160 --> 1:37:48.800 Party because they're speaking to this a lot more. 1:37:48.960 --> 1:37:51.640 They are. It's a mirage, but they are speaking to it. 1:37:52.400 --> 1:37:53.000 I'm on set. 1:37:53.320 --> 1:37:55.759 They have the beauty of being able to say things 1:37:56.000 --> 1:37:58.639 like so, first of all, at what point of Donald 1:37:58.640 --> 1:38:02.240 Trump's like does he represent and better my lived expirit? 1:38:02.320 --> 1:38:04.760 I mean, the man got a million dollar loan from 1:38:04.800 --> 1:38:06.559 his dad and to started business. I ain't never seen 1:38:06.600 --> 1:38:09.240 a million dollars. I did grow up with it. I mean, 1:38:09.280 --> 1:38:11.280 you were rich in our community. If you took your 1:38:11.320 --> 1:38:15.160 family to McDonald's on the weekend for a meal. It 1:38:15.360 --> 1:38:18.960 was so the fact that he can embody that better 1:38:19.600 --> 1:38:22.880 than almost any politician is insane to me. But I 1:38:23.040 --> 1:38:26.400 get it because you're right, Charlamagney speaks to it, and 1:38:26.560 --> 1:38:28.320 and then he tells you who's to blame for it. 1:38:28.920 --> 1:38:30.639 None of us are ever going to do that one 1:38:30.720 --> 1:38:34.479 because it actually isn't the truth for many of us 1:38:34.920 --> 1:38:35.479 in our places. 1:38:35.560 --> 1:38:37.519 Oh, he's a market and genius too. Like you had 1:38:38.280 --> 1:38:40.479 the radio this morning. He was like, yeah, you know, 1:38:40.920 --> 1:38:42.760 I was richer. I had more money when Donald Trump. 1:38:42.840 --> 1:38:44.519 But it's just what Donald Trump has been saying for 1:38:44.640 --> 1:38:47.080 so long, not just Trump Republicans, Like. 1:38:47.840 --> 1:38:50.200 It's mind boggling to me that you know, since World 1:38:50.240 --> 1:38:53.200 War Two, the economy has always done significantly better with 1:38:53.280 --> 1:38:54.480 a Democrat president. 1:38:54.240 --> 1:38:55.559 But they haven't been able to make if they don't, 1:38:55.600 --> 1:38:58.040 we don't say it, right, yeah, and we don't celebrate 1:38:58.080 --> 1:38:59.800 it either, But you're absolutely right with the ones who 1:38:59.840 --> 1:39:02.439 are the economy, they're the ones who take money from 1:39:02.520 --> 1:39:05.040 you give it to the top one percent right, but 1:39:05.160 --> 1:39:07.920 then runal campaigns about you not being able to keep 1:39:07.960 --> 1:39:08.680 a roof over your head. 1:39:08.720 --> 1:39:11.800 Why do democratics that's so scary around money and Republicans 1:39:11.840 --> 1:39:15.519 like we are scared to I feel like I feel like, well, 1:39:15.600 --> 1:39:19.240 this is just my assumption. I feel like Republicans are 1:39:19.280 --> 1:39:20.880 not afraid to tell you, like, look, this is how 1:39:20.920 --> 1:39:22.519 I grew up, but this is what I got, this 1:39:22.600 --> 1:39:23.120 is what I've done. 1:39:23.160 --> 1:39:24.680 That's where I can get you with us. 1:39:24.720 --> 1:39:26.879 I feel like we always have to be the like humble, 1:39:27.080 --> 1:39:29.200 the I'm still I feel you, I'm still here with you. 1:39:29.360 --> 1:39:31.880 And I think there's a lifestyle that people aspire to 1:39:31.960 --> 1:39:34.240 and want. Everybody wants to you watch Trump eat in 1:39:34.280 --> 1:39:36.639 your house for a long time. Everybody wants to lift 1:39:36.640 --> 1:39:38.560 this lifestyle, have this money, and they see him and 1:39:38.640 --> 1:39:39.439 he leans into it. 1:39:40.000 --> 1:39:41.560 We just I don't know why, why do we have 1:39:41.680 --> 1:39:42.640 to know that? I don't know that. 1:39:42.800 --> 1:39:44.760 I don't know that on this side of the like 1:39:44.880 --> 1:39:46.760 on the Democratic side of how that people are that 1:39:46.960 --> 1:39:49.560 rich either, Like I think the most important thing to 1:39:49.720 --> 1:39:52.479 understand is like Donald Trump is a failed businessman who 1:39:52.560 --> 1:39:56.160 has projected riches but not rich at all, And even 1:39:56.240 --> 1:39:58.439 especially after these court cases and the fines he's had 1:39:58.520 --> 1:40:00.479 to pay and have to borrow money to pay them. 1:40:00.560 --> 1:40:03.280 But Kamala Harris on the other side, talks about being 1:40:03.400 --> 1:40:06.840 raised in a middle class household and she went straight 1:40:06.920 --> 1:40:08.519 from law school into public service. 1:40:08.600 --> 1:40:11.639 But the inspiration never does win. 1:40:12.000 --> 1:40:14.200 Yeah, I'm saying that the reason why there's start of 1:40:14.320 --> 1:40:16.280 leaning in here is because that would be false. 1:40:16.960 --> 1:40:18.599 But he is false too. 1:40:19.240 --> 1:40:21.920 It's leaning into it, I know that, But I think 1:40:22.000 --> 1:40:25.600 that it's it's people like to vote for something that 1:40:25.720 --> 1:40:30.040 looks like a success. And he exudes success even though 1:40:30.080 --> 1:40:32.439 all of his businesses crumbled underneath his thumb. 1:40:33.320 --> 1:40:36.160 But he's marketing, suggested otherwise, sparketing. 1:40:36.320 --> 1:40:38.160 I mean, he owns a company right now that ain't 1:40:38.280 --> 1:40:41.680 nobody own his platform and it's and it is it 1:40:41.840 --> 1:40:45.320 is somehow value that of the same value of the media. 1:40:45.640 --> 1:40:47.439 Yeah, well the. 1:40:47.479 --> 1:40:51.040 App that he social Hey, I just want you all 1:40:51.040 --> 1:40:52.400 to know that Trump is at two ten and the 1:40:52.479 --> 1:40:53.840 old people in South Carolina and is panic. 1:40:53.880 --> 1:40:55.280 And I'm looking at my group chet well, let me 1:40:55.439 --> 1:41:00.439 let me tell you guys, Facebook group chest the old 1:41:00.439 --> 1:41:05.400 People's not going how many great suff the old Jesus 1:41:05.880 --> 1:41:06.479 definitely green? 1:41:07.000 --> 1:41:11.320 Yeah, and Jess it looks like, look like we're in trouble. 1:41:11.360 --> 1:41:12.400 Trump is overforming. 1:41:13.000 --> 1:41:14.120 Where is he overperforming? 1:41:14.320 --> 1:41:14.680 I don't know. 1:41:15.640 --> 1:41:17.240 I think that's the question we have to answer if 1:41:17.240 --> 1:41:20.160 they can point us to the states where he's overperforming. 1:41:20.200 --> 1:41:24.240 I think we have seen inconceivable he said, this isn'tconceavable. 1:41:24.640 --> 1:41:24.680 Me. 1:41:24.840 --> 1:41:25.439 Let me ask you. 1:41:25.680 --> 1:41:27.840 Is this one thing that we've seen and we saw 1:41:27.880 --> 1:41:30.839 it happen in Florida as well, Andrew in twenty eighteen, 1:41:31.240 --> 1:41:34.479 there are several ballot initiatives in states all over the country. 1:41:34.560 --> 1:41:38.519 One that's up in Arizona is Proposition of one thirty nine, 1:41:38.600 --> 1:41:41.960 which is the right to abortion. Right now, that ballot 1:41:42.000 --> 1:41:45.320 initiative to ensure that there is a right to abortion 1:41:45.479 --> 1:41:49.760 in the state is overperforming Vice President Harris right now, 1:41:49.880 --> 1:41:52.360 that is a yes. It is a sixty three point 1:41:52.439 --> 1:41:56.760 one percent of the vote. Whereas she's performing and I lost. 1:41:56.800 --> 1:41:59.560 Oh, here it is. She currently has forty. 1:41:59.360 --> 1:42:01.360 Nine point five five percent of the vote to Donald 1:42:01.360 --> 1:42:03.760 Trump's forty nine point six. She's neck and neck, But 1:42:03.880 --> 1:42:09.120 that right to abortion is overperforming. I'm interested too, I'm interested. Yeah, 1:42:09.160 --> 1:42:13.599 I'm interested to see why that is. Because if federally 1:42:13.720 --> 1:42:18.040 they're able to ban abortion. That state ballot initiative does 1:42:18.320 --> 1:42:22.120 not matter. It gets Trump, it gets trumped because of federalism. 1:42:23.560 --> 1:42:26.800 I would argue that most people likely do not understand that. 1:42:26.920 --> 1:42:27.760 I know they don't. 1:42:27.840 --> 1:42:31.120 And I will say something controversial that I disagreeing with 1:42:31.520 --> 1:42:33.560 Charlemagne about, you know, him speaking to the poor, and 1:42:33.800 --> 1:42:34.880 this is what people care about. 1:42:35.200 --> 1:42:37.479 I'm going to say something that people don't like to hear. 1:42:37.680 --> 1:42:42.400 What most people in this country are are not intellectually 1:42:42.520 --> 1:42:45.200 curious about a lot of things. And I think Trump's 1:42:45.439 --> 1:42:49.040 rise to power has coincided with the dumbing down of 1:42:49.120 --> 1:42:52.160 the American electorate and the confluence of things that led 1:42:52.200 --> 1:42:54.200 to that. If you ask, most people are where are 1:42:54.200 --> 1:42:57.360 you getting your information from? Most people are not reading papers. 1:42:57.400 --> 1:42:59.879 Most people are not even curious enough to read a website. 1:43:00.080 --> 1:43:00.599 But it's fair. 1:43:00.720 --> 1:43:01.679 It's it's also fair. 1:43:01.720 --> 1:43:03.800 It's the fact that he's saying immigrants are come and 1:43:03.840 --> 1:43:04.519 taking you jobs. 1:43:04.600 --> 1:43:06.439 But you can look and see if that information is 1:43:06.520 --> 1:43:09.639 true or not. Like I I read probably eight papers 1:43:09.720 --> 1:43:12.920 every day. But there are things that when you read 1:43:12.960 --> 1:43:15.640 the article and then you see what's on television, it 1:43:15.800 --> 1:43:17.320 is a snapshot of something. 1:43:17.400 --> 1:43:18.960 Yeah, but people don't see that. They don't see that 1:43:19.240 --> 1:43:21.479 Mercy schools are clothes immigrants. 1:43:22.800 --> 1:43:23.280 Hotels. 1:43:26.520 --> 1:43:28.960 Don't have to be intelligent to know that you can't. 1:43:28.800 --> 1:43:29.760 Eat, don't. 1:43:29.760 --> 1:43:31.960 I agree with that because they're real like I don't. 1:43:32.280 --> 1:43:34.240 They don't have had the time to do this because 1:43:34.280 --> 1:43:36.240 you're trying to figure out Okay, bet so my kids. 1:43:36.280 --> 1:43:38.720 But they do have the time. That's my problem. If 1:43:38.720 --> 1:43:41.200 you can sit on Instagram for an hour, you have 1:43:41.360 --> 1:43:42.679 the time to look at a camp. 1:43:42.760 --> 1:43:44.680 But do you have the time to part even if 1:43:44.720 --> 1:43:45.680 they did? Right now? 1:43:45.800 --> 1:43:48.599 With the disinformation of information, you don't know what's true 1:43:48.640 --> 1:43:50.479 or what's not. You don't know, and you can find 1:43:50.479 --> 1:43:55.000 an opinion out there that looks angel that reflects your view. 1:43:55.800 --> 1:43:58.760 But I will facebook all the wrong all the wrong 1:43:59.080 --> 1:44:01.720 cousins from Facebook. I'll be like, get off the inner 1:44:01.800 --> 1:44:06.320 I said, share respond. I do want to say too. 1:44:06.479 --> 1:44:08.800 There's one other disparity I want to talk about. I 1:44:08.840 --> 1:44:11.760 know I just talked about abortion on the ballot in Arizona. 1:44:12.120 --> 1:44:13.640 One of the other things that we haven't talked a 1:44:13.680 --> 1:44:16.920 lot about tonight are split tickets. So some people will 1:44:17.080 --> 1:44:20.120 vote Democrat or Republican at the top of the ballot 1:44:20.200 --> 1:44:22.840 and then do something different when they go down ballot. 1:44:22.920 --> 1:44:25.839 One place where we're seeing that again is in North Carolina. 1:44:25.920 --> 1:44:29.719 We talked earlier about the craziness that was Mark Robinson, 1:44:30.000 --> 1:44:33.080 who's only captured forty percent of the vote to Josh 1:44:33.160 --> 1:44:36.560 Stein's fifty five point one percent of the vote. But 1:44:36.600 --> 1:44:41.760 when you look at Kamala Harris's percentage right now, it's 1:44:41.960 --> 1:44:44.800 it's significantly lower. She's at forty seven point eight percent 1:44:44.880 --> 1:44:47.559 to Donald Trump's fifty point eight percent, so it's slightly 1:44:47.680 --> 1:44:51.200 under three percent. There's a difference between them, but the 1:44:51.320 --> 1:44:54.479 other the gubernatorial candidate Molly wopped Mark Robinson. 1:44:54.560 --> 1:44:56.760 But it'd been nice to see consistency. But we talked 1:44:56.760 --> 1:44:57.479 about split. 1:44:57.320 --> 1:45:00.160 Tickets earlier, that there are people who will vote for 1:45:00.320 --> 1:45:03.320 the top of the ticket and then vote differently down valley, 1:45:03.400 --> 1:45:06.040 especially on some of those vallid initiatives. But I still 1:45:06.120 --> 1:45:09.080 maintain that people do that because they don't understand the 1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:11.240 process and how it works. And I'm not blaming that 1:45:11.400 --> 1:45:14.800 exclusively on people voters and non voters. I think there's 1:45:14.800 --> 1:45:17.200 a lot of shared responsibility in that. But we have 1:45:17.400 --> 1:45:21.280 to at some point start holding voters accountable for having 1:45:21.680 --> 1:45:25.000 the intellectual curiosity to at least go out and look 1:45:25.080 --> 1:45:27.360 and find information. And I don't buy this that people 1:45:27.400 --> 1:45:30.200 don't have time, because it might be if they have 1:45:30.320 --> 1:45:32.479 time to send articles on Facebook, you have time to 1:45:32.560 --> 1:45:33.120 go to the source. 1:45:33.160 --> 1:45:35.400 You can literally go to the campaigns and see where people. 1:45:35.479 --> 1:45:36.320 So let me ask you a question. 1:45:36.400 --> 1:45:39.120 With an hour before we get to midnight Eastern time, 1:45:39.479 --> 1:45:41.360 what should we be looking for? What should we be 1:45:41.439 --> 1:45:46.800 seeing Jesus, what's to be coming in now? 1:45:48.360 --> 1:45:50.840 I don't know if that we'll see the major states. 1:45:50.840 --> 1:45:52.960 I don't know that we'll get results tonight from Pennsylvania. 1:45:53.080 --> 1:45:55.960 Wiss Well, Again depends on how quickly how many people 1:45:55.960 --> 1:45:57.360 accountant to Pennsylvania. 1:45:58.560 --> 1:46:00.640 With Trump at two ten, what state could come in 1:46:00.720 --> 1:46:00.960 right now? 1:46:01.160 --> 1:46:02.120 You'd be like, all right, bro, so. 1:46:02.320 --> 1:46:05.599 Well, California could come in and he would be less 1:46:05.680 --> 1:46:09.439 than where she is and the total so yeah, and 1:46:09.520 --> 1:46:11.760 the whole state is that all of the state, all 1:46:11.840 --> 1:46:14.240 of his votes will go one way or the other. 1:46:14.320 --> 1:46:17.080 And if we thought sixteen I remember when Hillary went 1:46:17.120 --> 1:46:17.920 CALLI and they're like, oh. 1:46:17.880 --> 1:46:20.680 Shoot, no, no, no, you asked now when midn'tight? What 1:46:20.880 --> 1:46:21.680 might what? What? 1:46:21.880 --> 1:46:21.920 No? 1:46:22.080 --> 1:46:24.320 For him? He would not have she would Happen's a. 1:46:24.320 --> 1:46:26.760 Big thing that can happen for any of them. It 1:46:26.880 --> 1:46:28.880 is going to be a state by state I mean 1:46:29.000 --> 1:46:31.360 there would be states that will put huge numbers back 1:46:31.439 --> 1:46:34.120 in her column. That's when California comes through. But if 1:46:34.160 --> 1:46:36.360 I were voted right now wondering about what I should 1:46:36.400 --> 1:46:39.040 be paying attention to, right I would be tracking the 1:46:39.120 --> 1:46:42.760 Michigan outcome. And again I think they were at fifty 1:46:42.760 --> 1:46:50.720 to fifty two percent of the vote being counted there Wisconsin, Uh, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. 1:46:50.360 --> 1:46:54.320 Michigan, Wisconsin is one there one percentage point a difference 1:46:54.439 --> 1:46:57.320 right now FIFI fifty six. 1:46:57.200 --> 1:47:01.240 Has a lot more than counted, so they will have 1:47:01.320 --> 1:47:03.200 to continue to watch those. And then I would throw 1:47:03.240 --> 1:47:04.720 in their Nevada and Arizona. 1:47:04.960 --> 1:47:08.519 Yeah, I have a question about you keep mentioning Nevada. 1:47:08.960 --> 1:47:11.400 I was listening to CNN earlier today and they were 1:47:11.439 --> 1:47:15.840 saying that if Kamala doesn't win Pennsylvania, she shouldn't. She 1:47:15.960 --> 1:47:19.000 doesn't have to worry because she can grab Nevada and 1:47:19.080 --> 1:47:21.400 the Arizona and one other state. 1:47:22.400 --> 1:47:22.840 How do you got? 1:47:22.880 --> 1:47:24.680 It just depends, So we have to actually look at 1:47:24.720 --> 1:47:26.599 the map, and we encourage all the viewers at home 1:47:26.680 --> 1:47:30.000 to do the same. There is electoral College maps and 1:47:30.080 --> 1:47:32.000 Lauren on here too. You can mark, I've been putting 1:47:32.000 --> 1:47:32.840 the numbers on the line. 1:47:32.840 --> 1:47:33.040 I don't. 1:47:33.160 --> 1:47:36.320 I've been saying I need to ie. So you were 1:47:36.360 --> 1:47:38.240 saying Michigan, Wisconsin. 1:47:38.520 --> 1:47:47.040 Nevada's battle ground, uh Arizona. You just said Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia. 1:47:47.960 --> 1:47:51.439 North Carolina Georgia again are not states that are must 1:47:51.479 --> 1:47:52.320 win states. 1:47:52.080 --> 1:47:53.800 For her to win them depending on how the rest 1:47:53.840 --> 1:47:54.360 of the map. 1:47:54.280 --> 1:47:58.760 Are, assuming the blue wall holes, which I don't have 1:47:58.880 --> 1:48:00.519 a reason to think that it would. But if it 1:48:00.680 --> 1:48:03.200 if it, if it held, she won't need either of 1:48:03.240 --> 1:48:05.400 those two states to make the difference for her. 1:48:05.520 --> 1:48:07.519 Other than so they just said. 1:48:07.560 --> 1:48:10.080 I just want to shout out myself because they just 1:48:10.200 --> 1:48:12.560 said seeing in Nebraska's fascinating. 1:48:12.760 --> 1:48:14.360 I said that. Everybody blew me off. 1:48:14.439 --> 1:48:14.960 I did that. 1:48:15.400 --> 1:48:16.840 We got another text from a ol G. 1:48:18.240 --> 1:48:21.120 What is happening on the phone over eighty answer over. 1:48:21.040 --> 1:48:25.040 Eighty o G. Her but's getting kicked still with a 1:48:25.120 --> 1:48:26.599 hell married past God willing. 1:48:26.720 --> 1:48:28.639 Oh they're all to the states. 1:48:29.400 --> 1:48:33.040 What the streets are saying is what the streets are saying. 1:48:33.439 --> 1:48:35.439 Look, what I want you to do is look at 1:48:37.000 --> 1:48:38.760 knowing compared to twenty twenty, I. 1:48:38.880 --> 1:48:42.679 Thought had lost, and we went to bed about two am. Yeah, 1:48:42.760 --> 1:48:45.360 and I was fully prepared for a Trump presidency when 1:48:45.360 --> 1:48:47.760 I woke up, and we woke up the next day. 1:48:47.800 --> 1:48:51.720 The numbers have flipped, and in the ensuing days they're not. 1:48:52.240 --> 1:48:54.160 It's not that they flipped if you do all the 1:48:54.240 --> 1:48:56.040 count but yeah, I want to make sure that we're 1:48:56.120 --> 1:48:59.240 very careful about our language because we're expecting political violence 1:48:59.280 --> 1:49:02.160 from people that are suspecting that the election is rigged. 1:49:02.200 --> 1:49:04.600 When you look at the exit polls for Trump supporters 1:49:04.840 --> 1:49:07.320 and be they're saying that they don't trust the process, 1:49:07.560 --> 1:49:10.120 even though they're turning out in large numbers. They're saying 1:49:10.120 --> 1:49:12.559 they don't trust that the voting process is one built 1:49:12.600 --> 1:49:15.160 in integrity. Well, we're not saying that now votes are 1:49:15.200 --> 1:49:17.160 going to flip to her. What we're saying is there 1:49:17.200 --> 1:49:20.720 are significant states that you need to count to get 1:49:20.760 --> 1:49:22.280 to two seventy that aren't in yet. 1:49:22.479 --> 1:49:25.000 Right I'm talking about the existing states that right now 1:49:25.439 --> 1:49:28.680 look as if they are Trump states, And as the 1:49:28.800 --> 1:49:33.839 vote continues to be counted and the tally is totaled, 1:49:34.680 --> 1:49:37.200 they end up in a different column. And they're not 1:49:37.720 --> 1:49:40.400 ending up there because they're being stolen. They end up 1:49:40.400 --> 1:49:43.320 there because the vote tallies dictate that that's exactly where 1:49:43.320 --> 1:49:46.880 they are supposed to be. The only reason why I 1:49:47.000 --> 1:49:49.320 keep saying I went to bed thinking one way is 1:49:49.400 --> 1:49:52.240 because if you're in a mood right now and you're 1:49:52.280 --> 1:49:55.800 wondering whether or not you know, we're repeating history. We 1:49:55.920 --> 1:49:59.080 are repeating history, twenty twenty history and not twenty sixteen. 1:50:00.520 --> 1:50:02.800 Yeah, it looks it's almost the same. Look at it. 1:50:02.960 --> 1:50:05.200 So I'm showing letting our turn your computer this way. 1:50:05.320 --> 1:50:06.840 Tip is probably looking at it on our phone. Turn 1:50:07.600 --> 1:50:10.040 turn your computer, well, actually turn you over that way. 1:50:10.439 --> 1:50:12.760 I want you to come this is twenty twenty. 1:50:12.840 --> 1:50:13.840 Oh, I see what you're saying. 1:50:13.880 --> 1:50:18.000 Yeah, okay, okay, so now can you shake your shoulders? 1:50:18.040 --> 1:50:20.519 Little bit going on down there? You're watching? 1:50:21.200 --> 1:50:24.280 Yeah, hell, I thought I heard a little juvenile. 1:50:24.280 --> 1:50:31.880 Okay, oh my god, yeah, they playing with you down 1:50:33.080 --> 1:50:33.920 I heard it. I heard it. 1:50:33.920 --> 1:50:35.280 I'm trying to focus up here. 1:50:35.680 --> 1:50:35.960 I heard. 1:50:36.760 --> 1:50:37.439 How are you feeling? 1:50:37.520 --> 1:50:38.880 I'm send that out for the old people. 1:50:38.960 --> 1:50:41.559 Honestly, right now, I feel like I'm learning in real 1:50:41.720 --> 1:50:44.720 time because I feel like I've never paid this much 1:50:44.760 --> 1:50:47.800 attention for this long. On election night, I think I 1:50:48.000 --> 1:50:50.000 go vote, we listened a little bit, go to sleep, 1:50:50.040 --> 1:50:52.840 wake up, it's whatever. So I think in real time, 1:50:52.880 --> 1:50:55.120 I'm learning just how these things can slowly progress. 1:50:55.200 --> 1:50:58.439 And yeah, yeah, I'm learning the watch. 1:50:59.560 --> 1:51:02.080 I honestly, for the last. 1:51:01.960 --> 1:51:05.320 I would say maybe like two weeks, I don't really 1:51:05.400 --> 1:51:07.640 feel anything. I'm just kind of waiting for whatever's going 1:51:07.680 --> 1:51:09.200 to happen so I can figure out what I have 1:51:09.320 --> 1:51:09.439 to do. 1:51:09.560 --> 1:51:10.160 We can praise. 1:51:10.560 --> 1:51:13.000 I'm at the point in my life where, like, whatever happens, 1:51:13.040 --> 1:51:14.640 I got to deal with it. I know what I 1:51:14.800 --> 1:51:15.559 want to hair home. 1:51:15.800 --> 1:51:18.680 I'm very hopeful, I'm afraid, and you know, with us 1:51:18.760 --> 1:51:20.639 jumping into politics like we did in the last couple 1:51:20.640 --> 1:51:22.280 of years, it's just so I have so many questions 1:51:22.320 --> 1:51:24.280 of why right in the last couple We've been doing 1:51:24.280 --> 1:51:27.840 it for about a more seriously last I would say 1:51:27.840 --> 1:51:29.400 six seven years. But you know, I want to I 1:51:29.439 --> 1:51:31.800 have questions like why, like why we still played with 1:51:31.920 --> 1:51:33.720 his electorial votes, Like I said earlier, why is it 1:51:33.880 --> 1:51:35.360 not just not the popular vote now? 1:51:35.479 --> 1:51:37.200 Like electoral college. 1:51:37.720 --> 1:51:40.439 I want to see Lauren and Envy run a campaign 1:51:40.520 --> 1:51:41.920 to get rid of the electoral college. 1:51:41.920 --> 1:51:47.720 Now I'm good. I just think it's I think what 1:51:47.760 --> 1:51:50.120 would be better. There actually are people doing that work 1:51:50.200 --> 1:51:51.280 that you can joined. 1:51:51.360 --> 1:51:53.920 And the Eric cold former Attorney General Airic Holder, who 1:51:53.960 --> 1:51:57.000 was the Attorney General under President Obama, he was posed 1:51:57.040 --> 1:51:59.560 this question a lot, and you know, they said, what 1:51:59.640 --> 1:52:01.639 would it hate to get rid of the electoral College? 1:52:01.640 --> 1:52:03.920 And they said, well, you know that's a heavy lift. 1:52:03.960 --> 1:52:05.599 And he said, well then we have to lift heavy. 1:52:05.960 --> 1:52:08.439 So his organization is actually fighting to do that. You 1:52:08.520 --> 1:52:11.160 can fund that organization, you can host something for him, 1:52:11.520 --> 1:52:13.439 you can be a part of it. As long as 1:52:13.479 --> 1:52:16.200 long as you're asked the questions, why, be sure to 1:52:16.320 --> 1:52:18.960 have an answer, contribute to the answer, like be a 1:52:19.040 --> 1:52:19.840 part of the solution. 1:52:20.160 --> 1:52:21.479 How effective is it is it? 1:52:21.600 --> 1:52:23.679 Like, because I feel like with the Green Party situation, 1:52:23.960 --> 1:52:26.559 like it's not effective, but it's there. 1:52:27.120 --> 1:52:30.200 How is what he is his campaign? 1:52:31.880 --> 1:52:33.880 I will tell you honestly, I think it's going to 1:52:33.960 --> 1:52:36.320 be near impossible to get white people to say we 1:52:36.360 --> 1:52:39.080 will give up our power and that's what that's what 1:52:39.200 --> 1:52:41.400 will be required. They don't have to say we're willing 1:52:41.479 --> 1:52:44.400 to give up our power. So in republic, so in 1:52:45.080 --> 1:52:47.880 the state of Florida, we would benefit greatly by a 1:52:49.040 --> 1:52:52.120 populist vote being able to make a decision, except that 1:52:52.240 --> 1:52:55.720 I also know that if I did that, the majority 1:52:55.760 --> 1:53:00.800 of populated places are democratic and they will use Democrats 1:53:00.880 --> 1:53:02.679 every time in a popular vote. 1:53:03.280 --> 1:53:05.360 So if your power is derived. 1:53:05.040 --> 1:53:09.799 From people making policies that benefit largely white Republican voters, 1:53:10.160 --> 1:53:11.800 why would I change. 1:53:12.640 --> 1:53:13.559 I'm not giving that away. 1:53:14.479 --> 1:53:16.720 So I think it is going to and because you 1:53:16.800 --> 1:53:19.400 got to get two thirds of states to agree to 1:53:19.520 --> 1:53:22.639 a change in the constitution, we better start spreading out 1:53:22.880 --> 1:53:26.040 and you know, high grade. 1:53:25.840 --> 1:53:28.320 It's our advantage. I'm going nowhere. I want to I 1:53:28.479 --> 1:53:30.680 just really quick. I wanted to just highlight some of 1:53:30.760 --> 1:53:35.960 these valid initiatives again. Colorado Amendments seventy nine, the right 1:53:36.080 --> 1:53:37.960 to abortion and health insurance. 1:53:37.560 --> 1:53:39.639 Coverage passed and Florida went down. 1:53:39.840 --> 1:53:41.400 Florida it did not pass. 1:53:42.400 --> 1:53:45.559 Maryland marijuana, oh wow, went down. 1:53:45.760 --> 1:53:50.760 Maryland passed the right to abortion amendment, and there's a 1:53:50.840 --> 1:53:54.320 few others that are still out. New York also passed 1:53:54.320 --> 1:53:56.559 the right to abortion amendments. So when you guys talk 1:53:56.600 --> 1:53:59.720 about why envy, we have to figure out a way 1:54:00.240 --> 1:54:02.320 to engage people beyond just candidates. 1:54:02.400 --> 1:54:04.959 We have to so many of these ballid initiatives. 1:54:04.960 --> 1:54:06.840 There were more than one hundred and forty, I believe 1:54:06.920 --> 1:54:10.120 in forty plus states, and fifty seven of those were 1:54:10.200 --> 1:54:12.960 led by citizens. They weren't led by elected officials, They 1:54:12.960 --> 1:54:15.840 didn't come down from state legislators. We gotta figure out 1:54:15.880 --> 1:54:18.000 a way to get people involved. What we do know 1:54:18.680 --> 1:54:21.040 is the way that we've done it has historically just 1:54:21.200 --> 1:54:23.320 barely worked. But I think there are a whole lot 1:54:23.400 --> 1:54:25.640 more people out here in this country that think like us, 1:54:25.840 --> 1:54:28.160 who are just disenfranchised, who feel like they've. 1:54:28.000 --> 1:54:30.880 Never been heard and never seen by the political process. 1:54:30.880 --> 1:54:32.680 So I'm so grateful to be doing this show with 1:54:32.760 --> 1:54:36.760 y'all tonight as Leonard zones out, because I think I 1:54:36.880 --> 1:54:39.360 think that we need to be with y'all to figure 1:54:39.360 --> 1:54:42.320 out what how can we make this conversation more pedestrian, 1:54:42.680 --> 1:54:45.280 more accessible, and more tangible so people feel like there 1:54:45.320 --> 1:54:48.440 is a pathway to victory for them with building political power. 1:54:48.440 --> 1:54:50.240 Do you think celebrity works, because we were talking about 1:54:50.240 --> 1:54:52.240 this on the Breakfast Club. Do you think all these 1:54:52.400 --> 1:54:55.200 you know, needing all these celebrities to speak and celebrities 1:54:55.240 --> 1:54:59.680 to perform in celebrities KAA, he doesn't mean anything though. 1:55:01.160 --> 1:55:04.320 For whatever reason, it doesn't seem like celebrity works for Democrats, 1:55:04.360 --> 1:55:08.200 but for some strange reason, the celebrity billionaire works for Republicans. 1:55:12.280 --> 1:55:13.280 I don't think it works for either. 1:55:13.400 --> 1:55:15.560 But I tell you what they do do because I 1:55:15.800 --> 1:55:18.840 ran a campaign that's solicited celebrities to come in and 1:55:19.320 --> 1:55:19.880 help as well. 1:55:20.280 --> 1:55:21.440 What they do is they bring attention. 1:55:22.280 --> 1:55:25.160 They bring the news to stories that don't you know, 1:55:25.280 --> 1:55:27.560 if you're not getting pressed, they can help get you 1:55:27.680 --> 1:55:31.080 some you'll take advantage of that. But it has been surveyed, 1:55:31.240 --> 1:55:35.040 it's been polled, it's been proven that the most influential 1:55:35.200 --> 1:55:38.840 voice to change your perspective one way, as it relates 1:55:38.880 --> 1:55:41.720 to who you might support or not support, is a person. 1:55:41.560 --> 1:55:43.160 That you know personally. 1:55:43.800 --> 1:55:46.960 So we have the most influence over the family we have. 1:55:47.240 --> 1:55:50.760 We have the most influence over our true friends, the 1:55:50.800 --> 1:55:53.240 folks who look to you. They trust you, and they 1:55:53.320 --> 1:55:56.760 believe you. But celebrities bring attention, and I think that's 1:55:56.800 --> 1:55:59.880 a value to a campaign. But when you think about endorsements, 1:56:00.040 --> 1:56:02.920 it's the endorsement of the person you know, you trust, 1:56:03.120 --> 1:56:05.560 you have a relationship with that's gonna move you. 1:56:05.960 --> 1:56:08.520 To vote a certain way or to vote at all. Right, 1:56:09.040 --> 1:56:10.880 it's gonna be our family, the people we knowing. 1:56:11.080 --> 1:56:12.880 I don't think celebrity works on the right either. 1:56:12.920 --> 1:56:14.440 I don't think there are people who are voting for 1:56:14.520 --> 1:56:17.240 Donald Trump because Hawk Hogan shows up or Kid. 1:56:17.200 --> 1:56:22.400 Rock shows who's not even delivered votes for Trump? 1:56:23.080 --> 1:56:25.400 I had support, I do, so you think there were 1:56:25.440 --> 1:56:27.880 people who were I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump. 1:56:27.960 --> 1:56:30.480 Oh but wait, Elon Must supports what about the way 1:56:30.520 --> 1:56:34.640 to manipulated that all day long? That is different. That's 1:56:34.680 --> 1:56:35.320 not celebrity. 1:56:35.640 --> 1:56:38.280 I haven't watched it, but a lot of people have 1:56:38.400 --> 1:56:40.600 been raving about the interview he just did with Joe Roge. 1:56:40.640 --> 1:56:41.920 Oh my god, it's all over everything. 1:56:41.960 --> 1:56:44.240 I haven't watched it, but they're saying what they was like, Yo, 1:56:44.360 --> 1:56:46.160 he's stilled the deal he sold me on, I'm not 1:56:46.200 --> 1:56:47.880 even yes. 1:56:47.800 --> 1:56:54.720 I've heard your business. You're saying what now? Must did 1:56:54.760 --> 1:56:55.360 an interview with. 1:56:56.360 --> 1:56:57.600 Two days two or three days ago. 1:56:58.080 --> 1:57:00.080 Everybody was saying how he they was like you he 1:57:00.120 --> 1:57:01.800 stealed to deal with I don't even know what he said. 1:57:02.000 --> 1:57:04.000 I would go back to my earlier point about the 1:57:04.040 --> 1:57:06.520 dumbing down of the American electorate. When Joe Rogan is 1:57:06.560 --> 1:57:09.120 your go to person who can convince you to vote 1:57:09.480 --> 1:57:10.240 one way or another. 1:57:11.560 --> 1:57:14.680 Musk Elon Musk didn't just do that interview though, He's 1:57:14.800 --> 1:57:18.360 literally changed the algorithm on Twitter so that we're seeing 1:57:18.520 --> 1:57:23.760 a lot of conservative and miss I feel like it 1:57:23.800 --> 1:57:25.640 should be, especially when he went on stage and was like, 1:57:25.720 --> 1:57:27.520 I got a million dollars, Finny to show me that 1:57:27.640 --> 1:57:29.160 you registered to vote somewhere. 1:57:31.360 --> 1:57:33.400 Say it was just projected for vice president here. I 1:57:33.440 --> 1:57:35.040 don't know, but I know he got to look crazy 1:57:35.120 --> 1:57:38.240 everyway to tip only the people down here. 1:57:38.600 --> 1:57:40.800 I think that we complicate a lot of these things, 1:57:40.840 --> 1:57:44.000 and it's it's just kind of simple, That's what I'm saying. 1:57:44.040 --> 1:57:46.440 It's literally about people want to feel like they got 1:57:46.520 --> 1:57:48.680 more money in their pocket and they want to feel safe, 1:57:49.040 --> 1:57:51.760 and that is Those are two very simple things. 1:57:51.560 --> 1:57:54.040 That for some reason Democrats aren't able to. 1:57:54.120 --> 1:57:56.920 So why do they believe the Republican who has a 1:57:57.040 --> 1:57:59.400 track record in the history of saying this is not 1:57:59.560 --> 1:58:02.600 a thing, are saying this is gonna happen, but it 1:58:02.720 --> 1:58:06.520 actually is not a thing. Versus democratic administrations that have 1:58:06.680 --> 1:58:10.320 proven over and over again through tax credits, through trying 1:58:10.360 --> 1:58:14.080 to democratize what's happening with She's coming to grab me 1:58:14.200 --> 1:58:15.840 about to go down there with the people and be 1:58:16.000 --> 1:58:18.080 down there. We can back and forth a little bit. 1:58:18.160 --> 1:58:20.600 So okay, in my heels, about to track it down 1:58:20.640 --> 1:58:24.360 there to be outside with the before you guys, what 1:58:24.880 --> 1:58:27.560 what you say? Don't you sitting here looking like a 1:58:27.600 --> 1:58:31.200 white blow your hands gonna be blowing white toes. 1:58:31.280 --> 1:58:34.960 Don't see it. Keep the light skins out of it.

She's not ahead, 1:59:15.720 --> 1:59:19.920 but the lead is significantly discre decreased with California coming in. 1:59:20.120 --> 1:59:23.600 So tell all them South Carolinians both we see walking all. 1:59:23.480 --> 1:59:24.400 Over that what I do? 1:59:25.200 --> 1:59:26.760 What I said? I see them the map, and I 1:59:26.800 --> 1:59:32.360 said this was the map. In twenty twenty, she came back. 1:59:32.560 --> 1:59:34.720 She came in updating us on something we already doing. 1:59:36.000 --> 1:59:38.160 Lauren needs headpoles that ain't delayed. Poor baby. 1:59:39.680 --> 1:59:41.880 I'd be curious to know what percent of the vote 1:59:42.000 --> 1:59:43.560 is in in Pennsylvania Michigan. 1:59:44.320 --> 1:59:46.040 So right now on the. 1:59:46.080 --> 1:59:48.960 Map that I have, it says too close to call 1:59:49.120 --> 1:59:51.600 sixty eight percent in Pennsylvania and Michigan. 1:59:52.120 --> 1:59:54.040 It's too of course it reloaded. 1:59:54.120 --> 1:59:56.720 I was talking Pennsylvania for me, I got sixty seven 1:59:56.760 --> 1:59:59.200 percent reporting and fifty one percent for Trump. 1:59:59.760 --> 2:00:00.720 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 2:00:00.880 --> 2:00:04.080 North Carolina eighty six percent reporting fifty point nine percent 2:00:04.160 --> 2:00:07.920 for Trump, Michigan twenty seven percent reporting fifty one point 2:00:07.960 --> 2:00:12.000 two percent for Trump. Georgia ninety percent reporting fifty one 2:00:12.080 --> 2:00:13.400 point one percent for Trump. 2:00:13.640 --> 2:00:17.640 Jesus Wisconsin is sixty percent reporting fifty point four percent 2:00:17.680 --> 2:00:19.720 for Trump. Now I got forty nine point nine and 2:00:19.840 --> 2:00:22.120 she's a She's at forty eight point four percent, which 2:00:22.200 --> 2:00:25.120 is just a little under two percent and at the 2:00:25.400 --> 2:00:28.120 very very close races. What we need to remember, Tiffany 2:00:28.160 --> 2:00:32.040 said this earlier as well. Some of the last counties 2:00:32.160 --> 2:00:35.680 to be counted are the blackest, and most and the 2:00:35.760 --> 2:00:39.880 most urban counties because they are significantly larger counties, so 2:00:40.040 --> 2:00:44.080 those are normally holdouts. They're also the ones that experience 2:00:44.160 --> 2:00:48.080 the most death threats, the most harassment and so and 2:00:48.200 --> 2:00:51.280 we've seen that across the board, both in southern states 2:00:51.400 --> 2:00:54.560 like Georgia and of course in Pennsylvania, as we reported 2:00:54.600 --> 2:00:55.160 earlier today. 2:00:55.320 --> 2:00:58.200 Well, regardless of the tactics, somebody will win those states. 2:00:58.240 --> 2:00:58.720 Mi shell Over. 2:00:58.920 --> 2:01:03.120 There was an incident at a polling site earlier this 2:01:03.320 --> 2:01:07.800 week in South Carolina that Bakari Sellers shared with us. 2:01:08.800 --> 2:01:11.440 He posted it on Twitter, and it was all the 2:01:11.480 --> 2:01:14.040 polling workers, all the pole workers were black women. I'm 2:01:14.040 --> 2:01:17.320 sure you've seen this, and the white man with the 2:01:17.400 --> 2:01:18.960 Maga hat on. He was not supposed to be in 2:01:19.040 --> 2:01:20.600 there with the hat on. They were trying to ask 2:01:20.680 --> 2:01:23.240 him to take it off, and he wouldn't and he 2:01:23.880 --> 2:01:26.280 got he physically confronted the black women. 2:01:26.800 --> 2:01:27.360 I watched that. 2:01:27.520 --> 2:01:29.200 It was about six or seven black women and this 2:01:29.640 --> 2:01:33.760 white man and he got violent with them. And I 2:01:33.920 --> 2:01:36.520 watched that and I knew instantly that he would never 2:01:36.640 --> 2:01:39.400 have behaved that way had those been black men in 2:01:39.480 --> 2:01:39.840 that room. 2:01:40.560 --> 2:01:42.200 They only act like that when they're. 2:01:44.000 --> 2:01:44.200 Good. 2:01:44.320 --> 2:01:46.200 I felt like all the black women should the one 2:01:46.240 --> 2:01:47.760 woman had the cane. I'm like, y'all should have took 2:01:47.800 --> 2:01:49.680 that cane and beat the crap out of that, dude, 2:01:49.720 --> 2:01:51.400 because I got to assume my life is in danger 2:01:51.440 --> 2:01:53.200 if you're confront of me like that. But I bring 2:01:53.280 --> 2:01:56.120 that up to say, one, the threats of political violence 2:01:56.200 --> 2:01:59.240 are real. We have tangible evidence of that. But two, 2:01:59.720 --> 2:02:01.840 these are the people Charlemagne that you're saying, what do 2:02:02.000 --> 2:02:03.880 we do on the other side of this? I have 2:02:04.040 --> 2:02:06.920 no interest in connecting with that man. I already know 2:02:07.000 --> 2:02:08.880 who he is. I already know who those pockets of 2:02:08.920 --> 2:02:12.880 people are, and I wonder how eboldened these folks will 2:02:12.880 --> 2:02:16.480 continue to be regardless of how this race turns out. 2:02:16.840 --> 2:02:18.880 That's really what's the main thing on my mind, because 2:02:18.920 --> 2:02:22.120 we may not know what happens tonight, but regardless of 2:02:22.200 --> 2:02:26.520 what happens, there is an ugly underbelly in this country 2:02:26.680 --> 2:02:30.200 that has been unearthed in a way that puts us 2:02:30.280 --> 2:02:31.120 all in harm's way. 2:02:31.520 --> 2:02:33.640 I think Jim Clyburn said it's gonna be Jim Pro 2:02:33.800 --> 2:02:38.520 two point n Clyburn said it was gonna be Jim 2:02:38.600 --> 2:02:39.520 Pro two point Oh. 2:02:39.960 --> 2:02:42.520 Yeah, yeah, all right, do you guys have any concerns 2:02:42.520 --> 2:02:44.520 about that? Look, we all live in cities where we're 2:02:44.560 --> 2:02:48.480 gonna be mostly safe. They're you know, progressive cities. Uh 2:02:49.280 --> 2:02:52.800 in black cities. But I'm curious if you guys are 2:02:52.840 --> 2:02:55.480 worried about family members or whatever happened. 2:02:55.680 --> 2:02:57.520 I don't even think you can be I don't think 2:02:57.560 --> 2:02:59.080 you can be safe in a progressive city. 2:02:59.160 --> 2:03:02.320 Yeah, I was gonna say that over I feel safe. 2:03:02.600 --> 2:03:04.120 I mean, I'm here at the nation's capital. 2:03:04.320 --> 2:03:04.480 I do. 2:03:05.240 --> 2:03:07.160 I don't feel safe sometimes a journy, especially for my 2:03:07.240 --> 2:03:08.880 kids going around. You know, I got to worry about 2:03:08.920 --> 2:03:11.760 my kids driving down the road and a big pickup 2:03:11.800 --> 2:03:13.760 truck where a Trump flag comes and sees him, and 2:03:13.840 --> 2:03:15.800 what they might do, what he might think about doing 2:03:15.880 --> 2:03:18.440 if my son cuts him off by accident, what they 2:03:18.560 --> 2:03:20.680 might you know, possibly be doing for my son, or 2:03:20.680 --> 2:03:23.080 say anything with my daughter. So I am very nervous, 2:03:23.120 --> 2:03:25.120 and I've seen how it shifted in the last I 2:03:25.120 --> 2:03:27.200 would say ten years before that, I. 2:03:27.240 --> 2:03:29.320 Didn't get that. I didn't have that as much. 2:03:29.640 --> 2:03:32.000 But I seem like, I feel like a lot of 2:03:32.040 --> 2:03:34.600 times when I see that Trump flag, it's almost like 2:03:34.680 --> 2:03:35.480 a sign of racism. 2:03:35.520 --> 2:03:38.200 When I yeah, so it does make me nervous. 2:03:38.240 --> 2:03:40.120 Regardless of what state I live in or what state 2:03:40.120 --> 2:03:42.120 I visited, I feel like it's everywhere. And then when 2:03:42.120 --> 2:03:44.560 I visit these states, and I visit these cities, and 2:03:44.600 --> 2:03:46.640 I'm doing shows in these cities, and I see people. 2:03:47.120 --> 2:03:49.000 I was in Sophora the other day. I was getting 2:03:49.040 --> 2:03:51.920 something for my wife and a guy walked in with 2:03:52.000 --> 2:03:54.400 a red Make America gray had again, and it's scared 2:03:54.400 --> 2:03:57.120 to shoot out of me. It's just because it was shocking. 2:03:57.840 --> 2:03:59.680 He was just going in there shopping. But that's what 2:04:00.120 --> 2:04:01.640 that means to me when I look at it, and 2:04:01.720 --> 2:04:02.800 it means that to a lot of people. 2:04:02.840 --> 2:04:03.120 Agree. 2:04:03.320 --> 2:04:06.840 It's so triggering, I think, especially I think it didn't. 2:04:07.160 --> 2:04:11.640 It was irritating in twenty sixteen, but after what happened 2:04:11.720 --> 2:04:14.200 on January sixth, twenty twenty one, where you literally saw 2:04:14.640 --> 2:04:18.160 the Trump flag, the Confederate flag, and the American flag 2:04:18.280 --> 2:04:21.600 all together on January sixth, All of them are triggering 2:04:21.640 --> 2:04:23.560 to me, but that one especially because it's like, I 2:04:23.840 --> 2:04:27.120 understand everything that this man is connected to. But trump 2:04:27.320 --> 2:04:29.360 Ism wins the day for me. It wins the day 2:04:29.400 --> 2:04:32.440 for me over democracy, It wins the day for me 2:04:32.560 --> 2:04:34.560 over whether or not we can be equal or not. 2:04:34.720 --> 2:04:36.400 In fact, I don't want to share my power with you. 2:04:36.560 --> 2:04:38.440 Is the message that I feels like they're sinning. So 2:04:38.480 --> 2:04:42.840 I understand exactly what you're saying. I was telling my homegirls. 2:04:43.200 --> 2:04:45.200 We were two of us were getting ready to go 2:04:45.280 --> 2:04:47.320 eat in New York and this man was wearing a 2:04:47.400 --> 2:04:50.120 Make America Grade Again hat and he passed me once 2:04:50.480 --> 2:04:52.760 that he passed me twice, and then he came back 2:04:52.800 --> 2:04:53.280 a third time. 2:04:53.320 --> 2:04:55.760 And by that time Alicia was there, and I was 2:04:55.840 --> 2:04:57.600 so scared. I was like, does he know who we are? 2:04:57.840 --> 2:04:57.880 Like? 2:04:58.080 --> 2:04:58.880 Is he coming to attack? 2:04:58.960 --> 2:05:01.440 I literally just got on the phone just because I 2:05:01.520 --> 2:05:03.720 was waiting for our reservation at the restaurant. 2:05:03.760 --> 2:05:05.760 It is so triggering and it's very scary. 2:05:06.200 --> 2:05:08.000 So in a place like when it was, It's in 2:05:08.160 --> 2:05:11.320 New York, and it's like in Tribeca, right, It's not 2:05:11.480 --> 2:05:14.160 like you know, in the Bronx or it's places where 2:05:14.240 --> 2:05:15.840 you know some of the other folks can act a 2:05:15.880 --> 2:05:19.680 little different queens. It was literally right there in Rebecca 2:05:19.760 --> 2:05:22.360 and I was like, Okay, what's happening? Do I get 2:05:22.400 --> 2:05:24.960 ready to I think we had to go like that. 2:05:25.160 --> 2:05:28.280 I think, yeah, I'm not condoning violence, but if you 2:05:28.560 --> 2:05:31.200 are crazy enough fix on front me, I have to 2:05:31.320 --> 2:05:34.080 assume my life is in danger and I'm gonna act accordingly. 2:05:34.360 --> 2:05:36.520 And I think when I saw that man and how 2:05:36.560 --> 2:05:39.960 he treated those women, I assume their lives were in danger. 2:05:40.360 --> 2:05:42.720 So if I'm in presence and I'm assuming somebody else's 2:05:42.760 --> 2:05:45.240 life is in danger, I'm going to act accordingly in 2:05:45.320 --> 2:05:49.520 that case too. So again, this is something that transcends 2:05:49.640 --> 2:05:53.920 tonight's election results. This cycles election results. I just think 2:05:54.040 --> 2:05:57.520 we have turned a point in this country where the 2:05:57.720 --> 2:06:01.680 violence will become a lie more ubiquitous than what we've 2:06:01.680 --> 2:06:02.240 seen previous. 2:06:03.120 --> 2:06:06.320 That way, the Hampton University campus, why you contemplating where 2:06:06.320 --> 2:06:09.680 he's gonna moved? 2:06:09.760 --> 2:06:12.840 Father? Come on, Chris, come up here, Chris? What are 2:06:12.880 --> 2:06:14.080 you saying while Chris is coming up here? 2:06:14.080 --> 2:06:16.320 I was gonna say, so, we're on h U hamp universe, 2:06:16.440 --> 2:06:19.880 I said, Hampton Howard University's campus.

Why wouldn't you? 2:06:28.000 --> 2:06:30.760 I would wait for what I don't know, Well, she 2:06:30.880 --> 2:06:31.120 has to. 2:06:31.200 --> 2:06:33.120 All these people are here. She will definitely come out tonight. 2:06:33.680 --> 2:06:35.520 I will't say this. 2:06:36.040 --> 2:06:40.839 Charlemagne and I were at Hillary Clinton's oh Lord celebration, 2:06:41.160 --> 2:06:43.360 and she didn't come out, so I was just asking her, 2:06:43.720 --> 2:06:44.680 it's just definitely coming out. 2:06:45.560 --> 2:06:47.600 If she was to lose, it wouldn't feel like that. 2:06:47.760 --> 2:06:50.640 Hillary was a complete and total shock, like. 2:06:50.680 --> 2:06:52.840 Whoa, what just happened? This isn't but she had the 2:06:52.840 --> 2:06:53.400 popular vot. 2:06:53.560 --> 2:06:53.880 This isn't. 2:06:53.920 --> 2:06:56.200 This is a recompletely total shock. 2:06:57.360 --> 2:06:59.880 You said this isn't. We're not, but we don't know you. 2:07:00.200 --> 2:07:01.520 We don't know yet what I'm saying. But if it 2:07:01.640 --> 2:07:03.520 was to happen, it wouldn't be a completely. 2:07:07.480 --> 2:07:11.080 Unexpected and unprecedented what we saw in twenty sixteen. 2:07:11.200 --> 2:07:11.320 Ye. 2:07:12.280 --> 2:07:15.000 Hillary Clinton was really the first model for that, like 2:07:15.240 --> 2:07:19.160 what do you do? Our Gore was another model for it. 2:07:19.680 --> 2:07:23.640 He didn't come out in two thousand. Uh, the evening 2:07:23.720 --> 2:07:24.040 is all. 2:07:23.960 --> 2:07:28.920 Right, went okay, another state for vice president here. 2:07:28.960 --> 2:07:31.280 Is And while we're waiting to see what that state is, 2:07:31.440 --> 2:07:35.000 Chris Morrow feeling brohi is are we call him the Podfather? 2:07:35.200 --> 2:07:38.040 Tiffany I was combined the names because I always say 2:07:38.040 --> 2:07:41.200 podcast godfather. He owes a reason choice with us, and 2:07:41.320 --> 2:07:43.440 he was over there looking crazy enough for Lenard to 2:07:43.520 --> 2:07:45.240 be like, look at grass, So we called him up 2:07:45.240 --> 2:07:46.600 here Chris, what's wrong with your man? 2:07:47.880 --> 2:07:50.080 I'm not feeling great at the moment. I gotta be honest. 2:07:50.280 --> 2:07:52.080 Show him to overlay it the map Lenard so he 2:07:52.160 --> 2:07:54.680 can calm down. He doesn't have to old one, he only. 2:07:54.920 --> 2:07:57.160 I mean, I've been I've been updating every couple of seconds. 2:07:58.120 --> 2:08:00.680 I mean, you know, I've been wandering around in the crowd. 2:08:00.720 --> 2:08:03.520 I'm trying to pick up some energy to boost myself up. 2:08:03.520 --> 2:08:04.400 I'm not finding it. 2:08:04.560 --> 2:08:06.800 Tell me what had you most concerned? Which states? 2:08:06.960 --> 2:08:10.960 Yeah, you, Pam. I mean, I'm a Pennsylvania native. I'm 2:08:10.960 --> 2:08:14.720 originally from Pennsylvania. Today Philadelphia. Well, I live in Brooklyn, 2:08:14.800 --> 2:08:17.680 so I voted in New York. But you know, my 2:08:17.760 --> 2:08:21.440 mother was at the polls this morning. She wasn't optimistic. 2:08:21.480 --> 2:08:24.920 So I'm concerned about that. And you know, maybe an 2:08:24.960 --> 2:08:28.160 hour ago, I think Harris was up eleven, and now 2:08:28.200 --> 2:08:31.320 it's completely swung and they have Trump up I think 2:08:31.400 --> 2:08:33.760 two right now with about sixty five percent of the voting. 2:08:33.840 --> 2:08:34.360 Two points. 2:08:34.480 --> 2:08:40.320 Yeah, I was sevente. I assume Philadelphia has not been 2:08:40.400 --> 2:08:40.960 counted yet. 2:08:41.600 --> 2:08:43.600 No, And then you know, I'm I'm here having a 2:08:43.680 --> 2:08:47.400 mini existential crisis over there, and I'm like talking to people, 2:08:47.440 --> 2:08:50.880 and people are like, these are the rural rural county 2:08:51.280 --> 2:08:54.960 cities haven't been counted yet. Don't freak out. There's still 2:08:54.960 --> 2:08:56.720 a long way to go, so I'm trying not to 2:08:56.800 --> 2:08:57.280 freak out. 2:08:57.520 --> 2:09:00.680 Yeah, don't. Okay, thank you, Yeah, I mean, I'm I'll 2:09:00.720 --> 2:09:01.160 share with you. 2:09:01.400 --> 2:09:03.240 We went to bed in twenty twenty thinking that the 2:09:03.320 --> 2:09:08.440 Democratic loss because similar maps were coming in until the 2:09:08.640 --> 2:09:12.360 ensuing days and the votes continue to be counted, and 2:09:12.520 --> 2:09:18.600 it's swaying the other direction, largely because absentee challenge ballots 2:09:19.760 --> 2:09:22.680 as well as many of the urban centers don't come 2:09:22.720 --> 2:09:25.720 in until later. They're the last and many places to 2:09:25.800 --> 2:09:26.040 come in. 2:09:26.600 --> 2:09:30.200 In states like Virginia right Like Virginia right now is 2:09:30.320 --> 2:09:33.560 seventy nine percent and she's leading by two percentage points. 2:09:33.920 --> 2:09:36.400 That's thirteen electoral votes right there too. So I think 2:09:36.440 --> 2:09:38.440 that we just have to pay attention to the ones 2:09:38.720 --> 2:09:41.360 that are too close to call, pay attention to the 2:09:41.520 --> 2:09:44.200 urban centers that haven't yet been counted. Those are the 2:09:44.320 --> 2:09:47.480 larger populations in those states. And then also the West 2:09:47.520 --> 2:09:50.440 Coast because a lot of these states they haven't even 2:09:50.560 --> 2:09:52.840 they haven't even opened up, that closed the doors yet. 2:09:53.680 --> 2:09:55.800 One thing you showed me on the back from twenty twenty. 2:09:56.440 --> 2:09:56.680 Yeah. 2:09:57.000 --> 2:09:59.680 Was they flipped Georgia in twenty twenty. Yeah, Georgia almost 2:09:59.720 --> 2:10:00.839 like flippant Georgia. 2:10:00.920 --> 2:10:03.360 They're not. They don't have to, you know, they don't 2:10:03.400 --> 2:10:03.600 have to. 2:10:03.800 --> 2:10:05.360 No, Okay, I think they could. 2:10:05.480 --> 2:10:05.800 Right now. 2:10:05.880 --> 2:10:09.240 It says there's eighty eight percent of precincts reporting and 2:10:09.360 --> 2:10:12.120 he's got just barely a two percentage point lead over. 2:10:12.240 --> 2:10:15.120 Again, Georgia's noted state. I was putting in the Democratic 2:10:15.200 --> 2:10:17.400 column it was a holy purple state. 2:10:17.440 --> 2:10:18.920 I mean, that was the first time. That was a 2:10:19.120 --> 2:10:20.120 huge deal. 2:10:20.480 --> 2:10:23.160 That took the work of a lot of people leading 2:10:23.200 --> 2:10:25.200 up to that election cycle for Georgia to go blue. 2:10:25.360 --> 2:10:26.920 But I don't think we know that george is a 2:10:26.960 --> 2:10:27.480 blue state. 2:10:27.880 --> 2:10:30.480 No, it's not. But I do think Georgia is decisively 2:10:30.520 --> 2:10:31.120 a purple state. 2:10:31.200 --> 2:10:32.480 Now I think it's competitive. 2:10:32.640 --> 2:10:35.080 Well, we talked about white folks earlier in states being 2:10:35.200 --> 2:10:37.840 very white, and that's why they're red. However, Oregon has 2:10:37.880 --> 2:10:40.360 been called for Kamala Harris as well, and that is 2:10:40.720 --> 2:10:41.200 very white. 2:10:41.320 --> 2:10:43.600 And there you got a live action Oregon Trail movie 2:10:43.680 --> 2:10:45.400 coming out. I don't know if you' all excited about that. 2:10:45.680 --> 2:10:48.280 I remember saying the hell of the transition. I remember 2:10:48.360 --> 2:10:48.720 playing that. 2:10:48.880 --> 2:10:51.840 That was a game, kid, I'm just trying to find 2:10:51.880 --> 2:10:52.360 some joy. 2:10:52.760 --> 2:10:54.880 When the wheel flew out, the wood wheel. 2:10:55.640 --> 2:10:56.840 And you had to shoot the bison. 2:10:57.000 --> 2:10:58.200 Yeah, it was the food. 2:10:59.280 --> 2:11:01.320 Good play that let me. Let me ask you guys 2:11:01.400 --> 2:11:03.040 a question. Was wall is the right pick? 2:11:03.720 --> 2:11:03.920 Yes? 2:11:04.200 --> 2:11:07.800 I think so. No, I don't think. I don't think 2:11:07.840 --> 2:11:08.600 it makes a difference. 2:11:09.000 --> 2:11:10.360 Yeah, that's right, that's true. 2:11:10.520 --> 2:11:12.280 I could have it could have. I don't think because 2:11:12.600 --> 2:11:14.760 because she was a VP who made a difference for 2:11:14.840 --> 2:11:18.000 a lot of people. I did. I voted, I would 2:11:18.000 --> 2:11:19.720 have that's a good. 2:11:19.560 --> 2:11:21.320 Point, but made difference for me. 2:11:21.680 --> 2:11:22.520 I don't think. 2:11:23.000 --> 2:11:24.600 I mean, I think Josh Shapiro would have made a 2:11:24.600 --> 2:11:25.600 big difference statistically. 2:11:25.840 --> 2:11:27.440 I think it would have been harmful to her. 2:11:27.520 --> 2:11:28.120 I think he would have. 2:11:28.880 --> 2:11:32.720 Yeah, she already has enough baggage with the ceasefire people. 2:11:32.840 --> 2:11:34.960 I think having a Zionist on the ticket with her 2:11:35.000 --> 2:11:36.240 would have been detrimental to her. 2:11:36.320 --> 2:11:38.360 Yeah, but the people are never gonna be on her 2:11:38.400 --> 2:11:40.840 side until it is the cease fire like they were. 2:11:40.920 --> 2:11:42.680 I don't I don't know about that. I think that 2:11:42.880 --> 2:11:44.840 there are people who can say, you know, I can 2:11:44.960 --> 2:11:47.560 hold my nose and vote for her. As you know, 2:11:47.640 --> 2:11:51.760 I don't anticipate something different happening. We had Mark Lamont 2:11:51.880 --> 2:11:55.280 Hill on the on our live show from Philly yesterday 2:11:55.400 --> 2:11:58.400 talk about that. But I mean I asked you'll recall, 2:11:58.560 --> 2:12:01.000 I asked Governor Shapiro when we were at the d 2:12:01.120 --> 2:12:04.400 n C his thoughts on Gaza, and he is very 2:12:04.480 --> 2:12:08.920 clearly he feels very strongly in support of of of Israel. 2:12:09.040 --> 2:12:12.560 And look, nobody is not in support of Israel, but 2:12:12.640 --> 2:12:15.760 we are just equally in support of a Palestinian's right 2:12:15.880 --> 2:12:19.480 to life and safety and the Palestinian's right to exist. 2:12:19.600 --> 2:12:23.000 I think having somebody who doesn't feel that way, or 2:12:23.040 --> 2:12:26.160 who does not openly project to feel that way, it 2:12:26.160 --> 2:12:27.200 would have been detrimental. 2:12:27.800 --> 2:12:29.280 Don't feel that way, definitely don't. 2:12:29.320 --> 2:12:36.560 But he's been out. 2:12:36.720 --> 2:12:37.200 I been out. 2:12:37.520 --> 2:12:42.240 Yeah, I agree with you that. Where I agree with 2:12:42.360 --> 2:12:45.680 that too, it's not covered. Where they found Walls is 2:12:45.680 --> 2:12:47.080 where they should have left walls. 2:12:47.360 --> 2:12:48.280 That was on No. 2:12:48.360 --> 2:12:53.520 No, no, I'm not saying that shady. No, no, I'm 2:12:53.560 --> 2:12:56.880 not saying I'm not saying. In Minnesota. What people don't 2:12:56.960 --> 2:13:01.240 understand is that Tim Walls was absolutely campaigning. 2:13:00.800 --> 2:13:02.000 For the VP slot. 2:13:02.360 --> 2:13:05.280 As soon as things started moving, he was one of 2:13:05.360 --> 2:13:10.000 the first most profound pundits on cable news. They should 2:13:10.000 --> 2:13:11.840 have left him there. They should have never tried to 2:13:11.920 --> 2:13:15.800 restrain him on cable He was on cable news as 2:13:15.840 --> 2:13:17.840 a governor. As soon as Harris is at the top 2:13:17.880 --> 2:13:20.200 of the ticket, he went on immediately and was defending her. 2:13:20.360 --> 2:13:22.800 He's the one that came with the weird o messaging frame. 2:13:23.200 --> 2:13:25.600 He was very effective on cable news. They sought to 2:13:25.680 --> 2:13:27.720 restrain him when he got to the top. 2:13:27.680 --> 2:13:29.360 Or when he became number two on the ticket, and 2:13:29.440 --> 2:13:31.360 I think that was a very ineffective strategy. 2:13:31.760 --> 2:13:34.600 Now it will be the best thing ever if they 2:13:34.720 --> 2:13:37.800 pulled this thing out. But I will tell you, and 2:13:37.880 --> 2:13:41.960 they noticed. I've said the whole time, I'm very I'm 2:13:42.080 --> 2:13:44.640 very intrigued by Josh Shapiro. I think the way that 2:13:44.720 --> 2:13:47.280 he connects with people. I've interviewed with him with y'all, 2:13:47.360 --> 2:13:51.000 he's very, very good and effective. But I do I 2:13:51.080 --> 2:13:52.960 have to agree with tiff. We did hear Marklea mind 2:13:53.000 --> 2:13:54.880 Hill say on the show yesterday. As you all know, 2:13:55.000 --> 2:13:56.720 markle mint Hill is a member of the Green Party. 2:13:56.800 --> 2:13:59.400 He said he's voting for Kamala Harris, and he felt 2:13:59.440 --> 2:14:01.440 like she said a strong signal to them by picking. 2:14:01.800 --> 2:14:02.960 I'm not picking, Joshapiro. 2:14:03.640 --> 2:14:04.720 You know what bringing joy? 2:14:05.080 --> 2:14:08.560 Watching people enjoy their food, and I'm watching April Ryan 2:14:08.720 --> 2:14:10.600 over there going, why are you. 2:14:20.160 --> 2:14:20.360 Well? 2:14:20.480 --> 2:14:23.520 I think Charlemagne needs some joy, some more joy.

I'm 2:16:30.400 --> 2:16:33.600 just trying to think about all possibilities and all possible outcomes. 2:16:33.680 --> 2:16:36.800 But it's still a pathway, okay, Like it's still a pathway. 2:16:36.879 --> 2:16:40.360 And listen, the bottom line is for black folk, like 2:16:40.480 --> 2:16:42.600 at the end of the day, what do we do 2:16:42.680 --> 2:16:45.240 when it's easy at the end of the day, Like 2:16:45.760 --> 2:16:48.320 I hear, but there's no major surprises. 2:16:49.200 --> 2:16:50.879 I mean, I think the only surprise though. 2:16:50.959 --> 2:16:53.920 Is how to hear all these millions of people of 2:16:54.040 --> 2:16:57.720 voting for this man like that, we know it, but really, 2:16:57.920 --> 2:17:01.080 what's gonna happen? I will say this, whatever happens tonight 2:17:01.200 --> 2:17:02.119 is a reflection. 2:17:01.879 --> 2:17:04.080 Of this country. That's right. That's just the truth. 2:17:04.120 --> 2:17:06.000 It's a reflection of where we are, what we think 2:17:06.040 --> 2:17:08.960 about ourselves, and what we think about each other as neighbors. 2:17:09.040 --> 2:17:10.800 And so that is the truth we can depend on that. 2:17:11.000 --> 2:17:14.240 You guys have knocked on so many doors and made 2:17:14.320 --> 2:17:17.920 so many contacts with voters, both old and new. Latasha, 2:17:18.000 --> 2:17:19.640 what are some of the surprises you saw in the 2:17:19.680 --> 2:17:20.920 field in some of the states. 2:17:20.720 --> 2:17:22.920 As Angela joined them. By the way, there's some people 2:17:23.160 --> 2:17:27.840 she did join. Black voters matter. She was nor Docking. 2:17:28.200 --> 2:17:31.480 That's like I messed up, I said, nord Docking on alive. 2:17:31.560 --> 2:17:35.160 I've never live it down. I was Angela was in 2:17:35.280 --> 2:17:38.040 these streets. I know something. 2:17:38.480 --> 2:17:41.560 I think the biggest surprise. There were no real big surprise. 2:17:41.879 --> 2:17:44.720 I think that the biggest My biggest surprise. Where we 2:17:44.800 --> 2:17:47.680 were talking to people a few days ago and they 2:17:47.720 --> 2:17:50.440 were saying that they were going to vote on like 2:17:50.560 --> 2:17:52.760 middle age folks, they were going to vote on election day. 2:17:53.120 --> 2:17:55.080 They weren't gonna vote on early voting because they didn't 2:17:55.080 --> 2:17:56.840 trust voting on early voting. And so that was a 2:17:56.920 --> 2:17:59.840 surprise to me. Right, I was really shocked to hear that. 2:18:00.040 --> 2:18:02.240 You heard that in Georgia, or I heard that in Georgia. 2:18:02.280 --> 2:18:06.080 But there were multiple states, right that there is. There's 2:18:06.120 --> 2:18:10.400 a lot of trust been eroded from across the country 2:18:10.480 --> 2:18:12.480 with some of the stuff that Trump has been seeing. 2:18:12.560 --> 2:18:15.119 It's so interesting because we don't think that it's hurtful, 2:18:15.120 --> 2:18:16.080 but it's been hurtful. 2:18:15.840 --> 2:18:16.800 For the entire process. 2:18:16.840 --> 2:18:18.279 And so he went North Carolina. 2:18:19.520 --> 2:18:21.920 I wasn't surprised. I said he was gonna win now Georgia. 2:18:21.959 --> 2:18:24.039 I'm a little I'm still trying to all the little face. 2:18:24.120 --> 2:18:25.240 Wait are you saying they projected? 2:18:25.959 --> 2:18:26.520 They called it. 2:18:28.520 --> 2:18:29.520 He's forty electoral? 2:18:31.000 --> 2:18:34.640 That's fine? Yes, yes, quite a distance, quite a distance 2:18:36.160 --> 2:18:38.240 how in North Carolina? 2:18:38.440 --> 2:18:38.600 Right? 2:18:38.800 --> 2:18:43.320 Ain't how you feeling? How you feeling? 2:18:43.520 --> 2:18:43.680 You know? 2:18:43.920 --> 2:18:46.480 I am in this moment. 2:18:48.120 --> 2:18:59.560 I'm scared his head right, I'm holding my joy. But 2:18:59.600 --> 2:19:00.920 they got an do with me being scared. 2:19:02.959 --> 2:19:03.480 I don't want to know. 2:19:03.520 --> 2:19:06.640 Hope you got up here. Leonard said, where bring Natasha? 2:19:06.720 --> 2:19:09.080 Because she's a realist. Listen, he did say that before 2:19:09.160 --> 2:19:13.920 you got it right? You know it is what is 2:19:14.000 --> 2:19:16.080 scaring you. She just says she's scared. 2:19:19.440 --> 2:19:22.440 The number scaring me the number numbers. You know, Georgia, 2:19:22.640 --> 2:19:25.280 it's too close in Georgia. I really thought that Georgia 2:19:25.640 --> 2:19:28.040 was gonna have a different outcome North Carolina, I said, 2:19:28.080 --> 2:19:28.680 North Carolina. 2:19:28.760 --> 2:19:31.200 I wasn't surprised by North Carolina. Arizona. 2:19:31.200 --> 2:19:35.520 I'm a little surprised, but you know, I really thought 2:19:35.760 --> 2:19:39.160 that Arigrizona, that she would perform better in Arizona. 2:19:39.320 --> 2:19:40.440 It's gotta be. 2:19:42.040 --> 2:19:45.440 The results only fifty it's too close, but it's only 2:19:45.520 --> 2:19:46.240 fifty one percent. 2:19:47.040 --> 2:19:53.200 Okay, do you think he's gonna win Arizona? I? O, yes, 2:19:54.120 --> 2:19:56.880 you think he's gonna win. O Lord, what are your 2:19:57.000 --> 2:20:01.000 thoughts that? I'm a little disappointed that Georgia. Oh, I 2:20:01.120 --> 2:20:03.560 am super disappointed. Question what happened? 2:20:04.440 --> 2:20:06.800 Didn't say she have the magical powers the mobilized people 2:20:06.879 --> 2:20:07.279 in Georgia? 2:20:07.320 --> 2:20:07.760 Like what happened? 2:20:07.920 --> 2:20:10.040 Well, let me say Stacey Abrams did a lot. I 2:20:10.160 --> 2:20:13.400 never want to take away from what that's but I 2:20:13.520 --> 2:20:15.400 just want to say she did not do that work alone. 2:20:15.480 --> 2:20:19.279 But Raja has been on ground like for decades. Black voters. 2:20:20.200 --> 2:20:23.200 Listen, Sister did her work, and there's been a lot 2:20:23.280 --> 2:20:25.280 of groups that have been doing work. But we're going 2:20:25.360 --> 2:20:28.360 to have to actually say voter suppression doesn't go away 2:20:28.920 --> 2:20:31.480 because we're working hard, we actually have to overcome that. 2:20:32.040 --> 2:20:34.200 So we're seeing that in the South. This year alone, 2:20:34.280 --> 2:20:37.160 y'all has been over three hundred bills been passed around 2:20:37.240 --> 2:20:37.959 voter suppression. 2:20:38.160 --> 2:20:40.680 So for all of us, it's been harder this year. 2:20:40.959 --> 2:20:43.720 That's just a reality, and so ultimately that doesn't make 2:20:44.000 --> 2:20:46.359 it's still it's like you're moving the gold post. 2:20:46.360 --> 2:20:47.280 And you gotta jump higher. 2:20:47.280 --> 2:20:49.400 You gotta jump higher, and then when you don't jump 2:20:49.480 --> 2:20:51.360 that high, then it becomes like a reflection on something 2:20:51.360 --> 2:20:51.760 wrong with you. 2:20:52.280 --> 2:20:54.640 Working our tails off in Georgia, right, we've been on 2:20:54.800 --> 2:20:55.840 the ground doing our work. 2:20:55.879 --> 2:20:58.600 But when you are Persian hundreds of thousands of voters, 2:20:58.720 --> 2:21:01.520 when you're creating laws and make it much more difficult 2:21:01.520 --> 2:21:04.560 for people in the process, it hasn't a cumulative effect. 2:21:04.680 --> 2:21:05.600 So we're gonna deal with that. 2:21:05.760 --> 2:21:08.720 Whether Harris wins or not, that's still a reality that 2:21:08.800 --> 2:21:10.840 we're faced, particularly in the South, which is why we 2:21:10.920 --> 2:21:12.720 need voter We need to make sure that we have 2:21:12.920 --> 2:21:13.800 stronger voter rights. 2:21:13.879 --> 2:21:15.560 Who is the guy you were on the panel with 2:21:16.360 --> 2:21:21.280 in Georgia, the secretary. It wasn't Y. Yeah, so this 2:21:21.480 --> 2:21:23.920 is a concern of mine. Yeah, he's a jackass. 2:21:24.080 --> 2:21:25.760 But I want to say this because he did a 2:21:26.080 --> 2:21:29.000 sixty minutes profiled him and he said something that I 2:21:29.080 --> 2:21:33.959 thought was so telling. He said, voter suppression is not real, 2:21:34.800 --> 2:21:39.360 and neither is like what I'm paraphrasing, but essentially neither 2:21:39.560 --> 2:21:42.480 is this idea that you're stealing an election. 2:21:42.840 --> 2:21:45.640 I know, basically the left is wrong and Donald Trump, 2:21:45.720 --> 2:21:47.920 I mean, white folks said slavery was good job. 2:21:48.160 --> 2:21:54.480 Precisely they uplifted him because he did the right thing. 2:21:54.600 --> 2:21:56.560 He became a hero for doing what he was supposed 2:21:56.600 --> 2:21:57.960 to do. It's like if I go into a store 2:21:58.000 --> 2:21:59.800 and I don't steal nothing, I'm all of a sudden 2:21:59.840 --> 2:22:02.199 he z because he didn't find these eleven thousand votes 2:22:02.200 --> 2:22:05.440 for Donald Trump. This is my challenge because I think 2:22:05.440 --> 2:22:07.760 so many people were so willing to celebrate him, and 2:22:07.920 --> 2:22:10.960 yet we do still see rampant voter suppression in this 2:22:11.480 --> 2:22:13.200 of Georgia, and people think, no. 2:22:13.360 --> 2:22:15.600 We fixed all those problems, We solved all those problems. 2:22:15.600 --> 2:22:17.840 So I think it's so crucial what you just said, 2:22:18.240 --> 2:22:19.600 we are climbing hurdles. 2:22:19.879 --> 2:22:23.200 We're climbing hurdles. Yes, we're climbing mountains. It wasn't even 2:22:23.240 --> 2:22:25.920 in twenty twenty two. As matter of fact, each of 2:22:25.959 --> 2:22:30.160 the in twenty twenty two, what we saw people kept saying, well, see, 2:22:30.160 --> 2:22:33.240 there's no voter suppression because there's been high voter turnout. Right, 2:22:33.959 --> 2:22:37.640 as if we didn't the amount of resources, the time, 2:22:37.760 --> 2:22:40.480 and the energy that we're doing around getting people, making 2:22:40.520 --> 2:22:43.400 sure that people are voting, making sure that folks have 2:22:43.600 --> 2:22:48.680 access to the ballot, that's crazy, right, It's really uncomfortable 2:22:48.720 --> 2:22:50.240 where we're going. So at the end of the day, 2:22:50.560 --> 2:22:53.000 when we're seeing this, we still have to factor in 2:22:53.120 --> 2:22:56.520 voter suppression whatever. Regardless of the outcome, voter suppression is 2:22:56.600 --> 2:22:59.440 real and it's impacting us. And it's like, that's about 2:22:59.480 --> 2:23:01.680 thousands to shave off a few years, You shave off 2:23:01.720 --> 2:23:02.360 a few there. 2:23:02.480 --> 2:23:03.960 And then you get this upmate outcome. 2:23:04.040 --> 2:23:07.360 And so part of what we've always been concerned about 2:23:07.440 --> 2:23:09.360 is we've got to overwhelm the vote. But what that 2:23:09.480 --> 2:23:12.080 does is that place an undue burden on us because listen, 2:23:12.200 --> 2:23:14.080 I ain't owning this right here, I'm not owning this. 2:23:14.160 --> 2:23:15.320 White women are gonna have to own this. 2:23:15.800 --> 2:23:19.080 Right, white being gonna have to own this Latino of 2:23:19.520 --> 2:23:20.840 being and women gonna have to own that. 2:23:21.480 --> 2:23:22.560 We're not just gonna own this. 2:23:22.720 --> 2:23:26.120 It is not our responsibility to say this democracy solely 2:23:26.160 --> 2:23:28.920 by ourselves. My concern is that every single day and 2:23:29.000 --> 2:23:30.840 time time so we have done the work and it's 2:23:30.879 --> 2:23:34.040 been a beautiful, brilliant coalition of people doing the work. 2:23:34.280 --> 2:23:37.480 But the truth of the matter is America is structurally 2:23:37.680 --> 2:23:41.480 stuck into racism and will not fundamentally deal with that 2:23:41.800 --> 2:23:44.039 because at the end of the day, this particular, we're 2:23:44.120 --> 2:23:46.920 seeing white white supremacy walk around the parade this self 2:23:47.040 --> 2:23:47.879 right with UTA. 2:23:48.040 --> 2:23:49.800 That's why I think we have to stop saying, uh, 2:23:51.160 --> 2:23:53.520 we're gonna save the democracy. They're getting the democracy they want. 2:23:54.000 --> 2:23:56.440 They're getting the democracy they voted for. Oh they So 2:23:56.520 --> 2:23:59.520 we just honestly, we probably just in the way because 2:23:59.520 --> 2:24:00.640 this is what they clearly. 2:24:00.959 --> 2:24:03.600 Yeah, but it's not about It's not just about them. 2:24:03.760 --> 2:24:06.800 We're saving the democracy that we want to at least 2:24:07.000 --> 2:24:08.760 an element of it, because at the end of the day, 2:24:08.800 --> 2:24:11.120 we know harm reduction. So part of us we ain't 2:24:11.520 --> 2:24:14.120 black folks ain't crazy. We actually know that this system 2:24:14.240 --> 2:24:17.120 is racist. We know that this system has not worked 2:24:17.120 --> 2:24:19.280 in favor of us. We know that as marginalized. We're 2:24:19.360 --> 2:24:22.640 sitting here seeing a man with thirty four felonies, right, 2:24:22.760 --> 2:24:26.280 think about it, in a state that you couldn't even vote, right, 2:24:26.920 --> 2:24:30.000 having a felon conviction. Now it is that he's living 2:24:30.080 --> 2:24:33.199 and they actually were going after folks who were formerly 2:24:33.200 --> 2:24:35.600 incarcerated folks to get their rights back. But in that 2:24:35.720 --> 2:24:38.959 same state, this man has thirty four felonies and he's 2:24:39.040 --> 2:24:41.680 running for president. So we're literally looking at the double 2:24:41.720 --> 2:24:43.560 standard that has always been here. I don't think that 2:24:43.680 --> 2:24:46.080 black folks are fooled by believing in the system or 2:24:46.120 --> 2:24:50.640 protecting some democracy that is the democracy in the Constitution. 2:24:50.920 --> 2:24:53.360 But what we know is that when democracy is not 2:24:53.480 --> 2:24:56.119 in place, ie the opportunity for us to weigh. 2:24:56.000 --> 2:24:58.600 In on leadership, that it don't work well for us. 2:24:58.879 --> 2:25:00.680 When we're not able to put pe the place that 2:25:00.840 --> 2:25:02.840 actually a line or at least will protect us, it 2:25:02.879 --> 2:25:05.279 don't work well for us. Well, we don't have policies 2:25:05.320 --> 2:25:07.480 in place to make sure that we have resources for 2:25:07.600 --> 2:25:10.120 our children, for our families, it doesn't work well for us. 2:25:10.160 --> 2:25:12.960 So ultimately, there's a level of democracy that we're we 2:25:13.200 --> 2:25:15.920 recognize it's not the democracy we desire, we deserve, but 2:25:16.000 --> 2:25:19.040 it's one at the very least that reduces the harm happens. 2:25:19.600 --> 2:25:24.040 The pathway, the pathway Latasha, let me see what they're called. 2:25:26.320 --> 2:25:31.080 What's the pathway? Two thirty? What's the pathway to victory 2:25:31.320 --> 2:25:33.080 for the Michigan. 2:25:33.000 --> 2:25:35.520 No, she can still pull this Michigan. She gotta win 2:25:35.600 --> 2:25:35.840 all that. 2:25:36.600 --> 2:25:38.920 She gotta win Michigan, she gotta win in Pennsylvania, she 2:25:38.959 --> 2:25:39.960 gotta win Wisconsin. 2:25:40.680 --> 2:25:43.959 I think Minnesota is a done. Minnesota's done, is done. 2:25:44.520 --> 2:25:46.600 She couldn't even win the state that her VP from. 2:25:47.879 --> 2:25:48.720 And y'all telling me that. 2:25:48.800 --> 2:25:53.720 Was no that they didn't call that minutes No, I said, 2:25:53.720 --> 2:25:57.440 I mean, I mean I got that. Come on, now, 2:26:00.160 --> 2:26:02.400 come on now, it's too early to car it's too 2:26:02.440 --> 2:26:02.720 early to. 2:26:04.680 --> 2:26:07.840 Yeah, what was the biggest hurdle. Let you see, I think. 2:26:07.840 --> 2:26:09.240 Misinformation is disinformation. 2:26:09.320 --> 2:26:13.640 It's a huge right, Oh, absolutely, misinformation and disinformation like 2:26:13.720 --> 2:26:17.080 the kind of the information that is being seated in 2:26:17.120 --> 2:26:19.600 our community. And we can always tell it's interesting. We 2:26:19.800 --> 2:26:23.760 were going to some college campuses in Pennsylvania and North 2:26:23.800 --> 2:26:27.599 Carolina and we started hearing brothers at a particular. 2:26:27.280 --> 2:26:28.680 Age saying the same thing. 2:26:28.840 --> 2:26:31.160 And when you start seeing patterns, you're asking where you 2:26:31.240 --> 2:26:34.120 get that, and it's wrong information because something different right, 2:26:34.480 --> 2:26:38.039 And we kept hearing the patterns because there's information we. 2:26:38.280 --> 2:26:40.400 Know this is documented that Russia. 2:26:40.520 --> 2:26:43.320 Even right now that we saw in Georgia there were 2:26:43.400 --> 2:26:48.240 seven nineteen bomb threats that literally went to colds and 2:26:48.320 --> 2:26:52.520 polls in Georgia. Right the FBI put out a statement 2:26:52.600 --> 2:26:54.960 that that was from a rush. They checked paced that 2:26:55.120 --> 2:26:57.360 back to Russian. We've got to be clear I got 2:26:57.480 --> 2:27:00.480 Russian packages to my home in twenty twenty two, that 2:27:00.720 --> 2:27:03.240 there are other actors that have vested interest in this 2:27:03.400 --> 2:27:06.920 election cycle and they're actively targeting Black voters because we 2:27:07.040 --> 2:27:07.840 are leverage vote. 2:27:07.920 --> 2:27:09.360 But the truth of the matter is we're not the 2:27:09.480 --> 2:27:10.160 majority vote. 2:27:10.400 --> 2:27:12.200 We are the leverage vote, and so we've got to 2:27:12.280 --> 2:27:14.480 keep that we in order to have the kind of 2:27:14.879 --> 2:27:17.680 protection that we need. We literally have to have our liveship. 2:27:17.879 --> 2:27:19.680 And so the question is they're not gonna put this 2:27:19.760 --> 2:27:21.600 on the feet of just black vote. At the end 2:27:21.640 --> 2:27:23.800 of the day, I'm asking the question, don't be talking 2:27:23.800 --> 2:27:25.280 to me about no black men. What these white women 2:27:25.360 --> 2:27:26.760 need What do you. 2:27:26.760 --> 2:27:29.560 Think about things like somebody just posted an interesting data point. 2:27:29.600 --> 2:27:32.640 Donald Trump just won Anston County, North Carolina. The county 2:27:32.760 --> 2:27:35.400 is forty percent black. Trump becomes just the second Republican 2:27:35.440 --> 2:27:37.360 to win this county since the eighteen seventies. 2:27:38.000 --> 2:27:40.120 You know, I've got to look at what the turnout numbers. 2:27:40.200 --> 2:27:42.120 That seems like it's probably a turnout issue. 2:27:42.200 --> 2:27:44.920 Yeah, so it means it may mean and let me 2:27:44.959 --> 2:27:45.160 see it. 2:27:45.200 --> 2:27:48.240 Where is it Anston County, North Carolina. 2:27:48.760 --> 2:27:50.800 I need to see where it's located because I also 2:27:51.280 --> 2:27:54.000 am concerned about turnout. Part of North Carolina. I was 2:27:54.040 --> 2:27:55.680 concerned about turnout because. 2:27:55.400 --> 2:27:56.000 Of the storm. 2:27:56.400 --> 2:27:58.440 Right when you walked to the storm and I know 2:27:58.560 --> 2:28:02.600 you noticed andrew it uphill for your entire life. People 2:28:02.640 --> 2:28:05.040 are not really thinking about elections. It's not at the 2:28:05.120 --> 2:28:07.280 top of their peace. So for me, I would look 2:28:07.320 --> 2:28:09.000 at it and I would think, I don't think you're 2:28:09.040 --> 2:28:12.120 not gonna find this big exodus of black voters to 2:28:12.240 --> 2:28:12.880 the Republicans. 2:28:12.879 --> 2:28:14.520 I do think what you'll see is you'll see a turnout. 2:28:14.640 --> 2:28:14.800 Shit. 2:28:14.920 --> 2:28:17.680 I want to go back to Arizona really quick and 2:28:17.720 --> 2:28:19.480 then go back to Arizona. The reason why I want 2:28:19.520 --> 2:28:21.600 to go back to Arizona is because right now he's 2:28:21.720 --> 2:28:25.760 beating her by point one percentage points. In twenty twenty, 2:28:26.320 --> 2:28:31.800 Joe Biden only won Arizona by point three percentage joint 2:28:32.760 --> 2:28:34.119 point three percentage points. 2:28:34.840 --> 2:28:37.240 So Arizona is a tough one and the Latino vote, 2:28:37.680 --> 2:28:39.640 like it's really the key vote in that area is 2:28:39.640 --> 2:28:40.360 a Latino vote. 2:28:40.360 --> 2:28:41.320 So we're gonna have to see what. 2:28:42.959 --> 2:28:45.440 You don't think that they would have responded positively to 2:28:45.920 --> 2:28:50.440 the immigration proposals by the Harris Walls ticket. 2:28:50.680 --> 2:28:53.600 They went a lot more conservative, right, Yeah, that's what 2:28:53.680 --> 2:28:55.920 I think. I think they went a lot more conservative. 2:28:55.920 --> 2:28:57.320 And we're gonna see. We're gonna see how to watch 2:28:57.400 --> 2:28:59.280 us out. You know what I've been hearing so far, 2:28:59.320 --> 2:29:01.360 and I haven't had a chance. That's why I'm having 2:29:01.440 --> 2:29:03.000 had the chance to really look at the data. So 2:29:03.040 --> 2:29:05.120 I want to be I want to be real and 2:29:05.240 --> 2:29:07.440 authentic what I'm saying. You know, I'm not trying, like, 2:29:07.920 --> 2:29:10.640 we gotta deal in truth. We gonna really take our 2:29:10.680 --> 2:29:12.200 people to the next level. We got to deal with 2:29:12.280 --> 2:29:13.880 the truth of it, and we've got to deal with 2:29:14.000 --> 2:29:16.199 what's the element of what is happening in this country. 2:29:16.200 --> 2:29:18.879 Because I do believe there's a larger issue. This ain't 2:29:18.879 --> 2:29:21.640 about just Trump and Harris. This really is a reflection 2:29:22.120 --> 2:29:25.040 of where we are as a country. Like, ultimately, there's 2:29:25.080 --> 2:29:27.000 some people that are saying we're gonna die on the 2:29:27.120 --> 2:29:31.160 sword right based on protecting white interests at all costs. Right, 2:29:31.280 --> 2:29:34.720 don't care about the democracy, we don't care about patriotism, 2:29:35.040 --> 2:29:36.480 none of that. At the end of the day, we 2:29:36.720 --> 2:29:40.040 at all costs, we're gonna protect white supremacy. This man 2:29:40.160 --> 2:29:44.200 has insulted every sing He's broken every rule that you 2:29:44.240 --> 2:29:44.680 can break. 2:29:45.240 --> 2:29:46.800 He got something greater than the white privilege. 2:29:47.040 --> 2:29:51.000 What you got, I don't know, white privilege, white privilege. 2:29:51.240 --> 2:29:52.480 Call will cause a civil war. 2:29:53.800 --> 2:29:57.520 The majority of folks, no, no, no, the greatest white man, 2:29:57.600 --> 2:30:00.640 Donald Trump marginalized this white man, that got white men, 2:30:00.680 --> 2:30:03.280 that got building, that's a child. They cowarded him. I've 2:30:03.320 --> 2:30:06.200 never seen anything like it. Like nobody knows how to 2:30:06.400 --> 2:30:08.400 deal with Donald Trump. Like we keep saying he's the 2:30:08.440 --> 2:30:10.760 threat of democracy. The deal j didn't treat him like 2:30:10.760 --> 2:30:12.760 a thread of democracy. The media don't treat them like 2:30:12.800 --> 2:30:14.920 a thread of democracy. And voters, damn sure, I ain't 2:30:14.920 --> 2:30:16.160 treating them like a threat of democracy. 2:30:16.200 --> 2:30:19.880 I've how many how many white men have had that 2:30:20.200 --> 2:30:21.960 like like like I've never done That's the only one 2:30:21.959 --> 2:30:23.360 I've ever seen it like this, no, no, no, no, 2:30:23.959 --> 2:30:24.680 we're saying that. 2:30:25.200 --> 2:30:28.720 But historically in this country, we've protected all kinds of 2:30:28.720 --> 2:30:31.400 white men doing all kinds of stuff. Epstein, all of 2:30:31.440 --> 2:30:33.600 them been. That's that was bit like like like we 2:30:33.760 --> 2:30:36.720 gotta be Kennedy. We can go on and on and 2:30:36.800 --> 2:30:39.400 on in terms of how America protects white men. In 2:30:39.640 --> 2:30:42.000 our lifetime, we've seen a different kind of reality, so 2:30:42.080 --> 2:30:43.200 we had a different expectation. 2:30:43.600 --> 2:30:45.760 But the structural racism that led you. 2:30:46.160 --> 2:30:49.840 Let me say this, if you protect and support a 2:30:49.920 --> 2:30:53.520 whole group of people being enslaves, like like what else 2:30:53.560 --> 2:30:55.640 were supposed to be shocked at what you do protecting 2:30:55.680 --> 2:30:57.240 a Trump. Hell, they have protected a. 2:30:57.200 --> 2:31:00.760 Whole lot of Trumps, but I've also seen I've also 2:31:00.879 --> 2:31:02.640 seen them big A lot of those white men deal 2:31:02.680 --> 2:31:04.520 with the consequence of their actions. I ain't seen him 2:31:04.520 --> 2:31:06.000 having to deal with consequence of nothing yet. 2:31:07.000 --> 2:31:07.440 That's why he. 2:31:09.520 --> 2:31:11.760 Literally is scheduled to be sentenced a couple of weeks 2:31:11.760 --> 2:31:21.720 from now. Let's not y'all, he still would have to 2:31:21.800 --> 2:31:22.280 be sworn it. 2:31:22.640 --> 2:31:24.680 None of that happen, and if he won this race, 2:31:25.920 --> 2:31:26.640 I think that. 2:31:26.800 --> 2:31:29.720 Happened before it was even No think it's a danger 2:31:29.800 --> 2:31:31.680 to make it seem like he's bigger than like because 2:31:31.720 --> 2:31:34.760 he's not. The truth of the matter is white people 2:31:34.959 --> 2:31:37.320 in this country have not felt the threat of losing 2:31:37.400 --> 2:31:38.320 their position in power. 2:31:38.920 --> 2:31:39.960 They're not protecting it. 2:31:40.160 --> 2:31:43.760 Yeah, they're not just protecting Trump because something Trump superman. 2:31:44.120 --> 2:31:45.520 They're protecting what he represents. 2:31:45.560 --> 2:31:46.760 They're protecting themselves. 2:31:46.800 --> 2:31:48.040 They're protecting themselves. 2:31:48.320 --> 2:31:50.800 And so ultimately, if we don't recognize that, and they've 2:31:50.879 --> 2:31:53.960 always done that, I can go historically or all of 2:31:54.000 --> 2:31:56.080 the black folks who have been killed and lynched and 2:31:56.240 --> 2:31:59.000 hung and nothing happened to them. So we talked about 2:31:59.000 --> 2:32:01.160 what he did. I'm talking about who actually killed our 2:32:01.240 --> 2:32:04.160 people and nothing happened to them. That came after us 2:32:04.240 --> 2:32:06.640 and nothing happened to them. So that's not something new. 2:32:06.840 --> 2:32:08.000 They ain't not new in America. 2:32:08.320 --> 2:32:10.280 Like, what we're seeing is a little different level of 2:32:10.320 --> 2:32:13.360 sophistication around it, and we've not seen someone and and 2:32:13.959 --> 2:32:16.640 we've not seen a level of protecting a candidate in 2:32:16.760 --> 2:32:17.480 our lifetime. 2:32:17.800 --> 2:32:20.160 But part of it is because it's not about the candidate. 2:32:20.360 --> 2:32:23.600 It's about what he represents, and he represents their position 2:32:23.800 --> 2:32:25.280 in a way that they're no longer going to be 2:32:25.320 --> 2:32:26.280 the majority of this country. 2:32:26.480 --> 2:32:27.480 That's a different ball game. 2:32:28.000 --> 2:32:31.360 Well, I maintained that we knew this election was going 2:32:31.440 --> 2:32:33.560 to be tight, and we know black people show up 2:32:33.600 --> 2:32:34.560 late for everything, so. 2:32:38.640 --> 2:32:42.440 Arizona to these show up late because man. 2:32:55.160 --> 2:33:00.600 Better late than But there's repeating this election is lost 2:33:00.720 --> 2:33:02.600 or winds should not fall on the backs. 2:33:02.400 --> 2:33:05.520 Of black folks, because what it would tell me at the. 2:33:05.600 --> 2:33:07.119 End of the day, if we have to go through 2:33:07.160 --> 2:33:09.760 these numbers, we're going to see that we had a 2:33:09.800 --> 2:33:12.400 lot of disappointment from white women if it didn't go 2:33:12.640 --> 2:33:14.800 the way that we think. Everybody's like, we're gonna break 2:33:14.840 --> 2:33:18.560 this fifty five percent. We got break fifty two percent 2:33:19.200 --> 2:33:22.160 support from white says, we don't. 2:33:22.040 --> 2:33:22.920 Know it for a back. 2:33:23.959 --> 2:33:26.199 When I tell you, I'm not talking to these hoes, 2:33:27.320 --> 2:33:27.800 I mean it. 2:33:28.600 --> 2:33:29.280 I come to them. 2:33:29.320 --> 2:33:33.160 Whoever voted for Trump, Oh, these white women voting for Trump, 2:33:33.360 --> 2:33:34.640 voting against their interests. 2:33:35.120 --> 2:33:38.000 Tell everybody, you're not gonna tell us what we're gonna 2:33:38.040 --> 2:33:39.279 do with our own bodies. 2:33:39.360 --> 2:33:39.880 The hell you know. 2:33:40.120 --> 2:33:44.920 They literally have voted to uphold an abortion band or 2:33:46.000 --> 2:33:52.000 to vote against an to vote against. Well, it's in 2:33:52.080 --> 2:33:55.480 North Carolina, the abortion band. They voted against it, the 2:33:55.560 --> 2:33:58.560 ballot initiative, but it's neck and neck with it was 2:33:58.640 --> 2:34:01.920 neck and neck with Kamala. They voted for josh Stein, 2:34:02.040 --> 2:34:03.800 but it's it was neck connected with Kamala. 2:34:04.800 --> 2:34:08.360 I don't get it. Let me say this white privilege 2:34:08.520 --> 2:34:14.520 is like some high end cocaine. We don't know, No, seriously, 2:34:14.920 --> 2:34:15.560 like we are not. 2:34:15.959 --> 2:34:16.920 We are in. 2:34:17.040 --> 2:34:20.920 Denial of how white privilege they've never been in a 2:34:21.000 --> 2:34:24.680 space in this nation that literally they have like their 2:34:24.720 --> 2:34:28.560 protection of every area of society particularly and in terms 2:34:28.640 --> 2:34:31.720 to the highest offices they've been protected on that we 2:34:31.920 --> 2:34:35.760 are we are really underestimated, right, how. 2:34:35.760 --> 2:34:38.520 Fearful they are of just sharing power. We're not even 2:34:38.560 --> 2:34:39.840 talking about just sharing power. 2:34:40.080 --> 2:34:43.120 So ultimately, what they're saying, what what we're seeing in 2:34:43.240 --> 2:34:46.240 this moment is that we don't care about any. 2:34:46.160 --> 2:34:49.360 It is out and we will give it all. We 2:34:49.440 --> 2:34:53.320 were burning all down in order to protect our privilege. 2:34:53.480 --> 2:34:56.440 So the white people, like the Merritgarlands of the world, 2:34:56.640 --> 2:35:01.800 didn't you a position, never have been there. Well, so 2:35:01.959 --> 2:35:04.360 whose fault is that the person who put him there, 2:35:04.440 --> 2:35:06.960 which is Biden Yeah, So why are those I thought 2:35:06.959 --> 2:35:08.760 those supposed to be the good white folks that's supposed 2:35:08.760 --> 2:35:09.560 to protect democracy. 2:35:09.680 --> 2:35:12.160 Well, here's what they miss calculated. 2:35:12.120 --> 2:35:13.400 And uphold democracy. 2:35:13.560 --> 2:35:17.400 They miscalculated the fact that this they picked him to 2:35:17.560 --> 2:35:20.400 be a safe Supreme Court justice, that they would be 2:35:20.520 --> 2:35:22.359 able to get passed. 2:35:22.959 --> 2:35:27.200 With profess Yes, once Barack Obama nominated him. 2:35:27.200 --> 2:35:29.880 And I think that there was some nostalgia or something 2:35:30.160 --> 2:35:32.280 where they thought, oh, we're gonna put this safe person 2:35:32.360 --> 2:35:34.640 here is to make them feel like we're reaching out 2:35:34.720 --> 2:35:37.160 and extending an olive bridge. Well, extending an olive bridge 2:35:37.200 --> 2:35:39.640 meant that you took put someone as the head of 2:35:39.720 --> 2:35:42.520 the Department of Justice in the Jay Agar Hoover building 2:35:42.800 --> 2:35:44.760 that continued the legacy of Jay Eggar Hoover. 2:35:45.840 --> 2:35:48.560 Another thing I learned, though, because you asked that earlier, Andrew, 2:35:48.560 --> 2:35:50.320 about what did we learn over the last year. I 2:35:50.480 --> 2:35:52.640 learned that a lot of people don't even know if 2:35:52.720 --> 2:35:55.800 Donald Trump does things wrong because he doesn't get treated 2:35:55.840 --> 2:35:56.800 like he's doing anything right. 2:35:57.440 --> 2:36:00.760 Right, I think that's what Tassa's point. So, Charlottmane, all 2:36:00.760 --> 2:36:03.600 the things you said, they were colossal failures. With the 2:36:03.600 --> 2:36:06.200 colossal failure by the media to not treat him that way. 2:36:06.440 --> 2:36:09.360 It was a colossal failure by people to not be 2:36:09.480 --> 2:36:12.640 on the front lines of misinformation and disinformation when technology 2:36:12.720 --> 2:36:16.160 was moving faster than or technology, Yeah, was moving faster 2:36:16.240 --> 2:36:19.800 than policy. It was a colossal failure of I say, 2:36:20.080 --> 2:36:24.000 voters for not being more intellectually curious about what's happening. 2:36:24.080 --> 2:36:26.240 I don't think that elevates Donald Trump. I think it 2:36:26.400 --> 2:36:29.119 just reflects where we are in society, which is heartbreaking. 2:36:29.200 --> 2:36:31.800 But I'm still not I still feel optimistic. We don't know. 2:36:35.040 --> 2:36:37.960 Yeah, we know the big states that we're waiting for 2:36:38.120 --> 2:36:40.800 have not yet been called. And Andrew raised something good. 2:36:40.800 --> 2:36:42.440 I think we were all talking so we didn't hear it. 2:36:42.480 --> 2:36:45.880 But when you were talking about losing Arizona, Andrew said 2:36:45.920 --> 2:36:48.000 that he lost, and I put lost in quotes, but 2:36:48.080 --> 2:36:52.960 lost Florida by three point point three point three point three. 2:36:53.120 --> 2:36:55.240 So lections can come down then close and still not 2:36:55.360 --> 2:36:59.200 go your way. Every boat matters, it counts. But Latasha, 2:36:59.280 --> 2:37:02.480 you bought home. I think where we started this show 2:37:03.120 --> 2:37:06.400 about was really this conversation of white privilege and power 2:37:07.000 --> 2:37:10.120 and what it will do, how it acts instinctually to 2:37:10.200 --> 2:37:11.000 protect itself. 2:37:12.080 --> 2:37:14.280 It's like a knee jerk. That's like someone hits your 2:37:14.320 --> 2:37:15.320 knee and you kick hard. 2:37:15.400 --> 2:37:19.200 It's been a place for centuries, y'all muscle memories. 2:37:19.520 --> 2:37:22.560 They don't have to rehearse it, practice for it. 2:37:22.879 --> 2:37:27.240 It's instinctual that you respond a certain way when your 2:37:27.400 --> 2:37:30.240 body is attacked. Your body does the same thing. It 2:37:30.400 --> 2:37:34.320 races to wherever the intrusion is to kill whatever is 2:37:34.360 --> 2:37:38.320 coming for you. I act the same way about power. 2:37:39.120 --> 2:37:41.000 It has about to be taken from you. You do 2:37:41.120 --> 2:37:42.040 whatever it takes to keep it. 2:37:42.840 --> 2:37:44.520 Latasha, we were on the phone. 2:37:46.160 --> 2:37:49.080 We're on the phone chatting, and we were talking about 2:37:49.080 --> 2:37:50.920 how it feels different to you, and I would saying, 2:37:50.920 --> 2:37:51.720 but this isn't different. 2:37:51.800 --> 2:37:54.600 And I was I called Angela or she called Well. Somehow. 2:37:54.640 --> 2:37:56.040 We were on the phone with each other and I 2:37:56.160 --> 2:37:57.960 was telling her that you were saying it feels different. 2:37:58.000 --> 2:37:59.640 I'm like, it just doesn't. This is the same thing 2:37:59.720 --> 2:38:01.560 that we've always known. And Angela was like, no, it 2:38:01.680 --> 2:38:04.480 feels different to me too. At the time, you said 2:38:04.520 --> 2:38:06.600 I need to sit with it right to figure out. 2:38:06.600 --> 2:38:09.160 I just wonder if you've sat with it, and if 2:38:09.200 --> 2:38:11.199 you have anything that you want to share tonight about 2:38:11.600 --> 2:38:14.080 why it feels different. This time, and I would put 2:38:14.120 --> 2:38:16.320 that same question to you, Angela, like, why does it 2:38:16.400 --> 2:38:19.960 feel different this time when we really have, in my opinion, 2:38:20.080 --> 2:38:21.640 we really haven't seen anything new. 2:38:21.959 --> 2:38:23.720 Oh, I do think we've seen something new, and I 2:38:23.840 --> 2:38:24.800 do think that as different. 2:38:24.920 --> 2:38:29.119 Let me be clear, what white behavior does not determine 2:38:29.320 --> 2:38:33.400 or does not define everybody else's behavior necessarily, And I'm. 2:38:33.320 --> 2:38:37.000 Saying that that there is, Yes, there is a core 2:38:37.080 --> 2:38:38.959 group of folks in this country clearly. 2:38:39.040 --> 2:38:44.080 That align themselves with racist, misogynists, sexist ideas. 2:38:44.280 --> 2:38:45.000 That's clear, right. 2:38:45.240 --> 2:38:47.640 But what I have seen that has been distinctively different, 2:38:47.800 --> 2:38:49.280 and then I'll talk about the energy of what I'm 2:38:49.280 --> 2:38:51.880 feeling as well. Distinctively different is even we saw it 2:38:51.879 --> 2:38:54.800 different even from the Obama campaign. In the Obama campaign, 2:38:55.240 --> 2:38:58.800 it was this charismatic, brilliant brother that everybody kind of 2:38:58.879 --> 2:39:01.480 call less and surrounded around, and we're excited that he 2:39:01.600 --> 2:39:04.920 was gonna win. What we saw different with a Complice campaign, 2:39:05.240 --> 2:39:08.920 It's been that people have literally you saw folks really 2:39:09.320 --> 2:39:10.680 owing their own identity. 2:39:10.959 --> 2:39:13.240 That was very different. It wasn't just centered around her. 2:39:13.360 --> 2:39:16.920 You saw the cat ladies, the childish cat ladies, and 2:39:17.000 --> 2:39:20.959 the and the the white dudes and there is a coalition. 2:39:21.120 --> 2:39:23.360 Let me tell you, whether it's this election or not, 2:39:23.760 --> 2:39:26.520 there is there is a coalition of people that are 2:39:26.560 --> 2:39:30.320 building in this country. Literally that the majority is us. Now, 2:39:30.360 --> 2:39:32.880 whether that's reflected in the in the box is a 2:39:33.040 --> 2:39:35.800 different thing. But that's why you got voter suppression, that's 2:39:35.800 --> 2:39:39.039 why you got misinformation and disinformation. If you're just fair game, 2:39:39.040 --> 2:39:40.680 there's a majority of them, you ain't got to do 2:39:40.760 --> 2:39:41.000 all that. 2:39:41.280 --> 2:39:42.000 So let's be clear. 2:39:42.080 --> 2:39:43.760 Does this scal you Latasha that we may not know 2:39:43.840 --> 2:39:46.720 what that electoria might look like like, Like the Republican 2:39:47.000 --> 2:39:50.279 electoria might look totally different than in the Democrat electoria 2:39:50.360 --> 2:39:53.040 might look totally different than what we're used to. What 2:39:53.120 --> 2:39:55.080 do you mean, like in the future, like you see 2:39:55.120 --> 2:39:56.840 Republicans now they bringing in more black people. 2:39:56.879 --> 2:39:59.959 They're bringing in I'm gonna have to see these because 2:40:00.160 --> 2:40:01.760 let me say this, I'm not sure if that's the 2:40:01.840 --> 2:40:03.480 case that night. 2:40:03.640 --> 2:40:05.840 No, no, no, not even tonight. It's not convincing me 2:40:05.879 --> 2:40:06.040 of that. 2:40:06.480 --> 2:40:08.320 Let me say this, because I think that there is 2:40:08.800 --> 2:40:11.879 anytime you bring more people into any process, the vote 2:40:11.920 --> 2:40:17.279 spread is going to be greater. That's just math. White folks, women, 2:40:17.879 --> 2:40:20.560 black folks. Anytime you're gonna have a diversity of a 2:40:20.640 --> 2:40:23.720 voter spread. That's just as more people get involved in 2:40:23.760 --> 2:40:25.440 the process, there's a larger spread. 2:40:25.560 --> 2:40:26.760 And so I'm not convinced. 2:40:27.200 --> 2:40:29.640 The other thing is and we don't want to talk 2:40:29.640 --> 2:40:31.200 about this because we don't really want to talk about 2:40:31.240 --> 2:40:34.600 how capitalism works either. And so in capitalism, we have 2:40:34.680 --> 2:40:37.120 turned America to a big old commercial. It's a big 2:40:37.200 --> 2:40:41.280 ass commercial that ultimately everything is about marketing. Everything is 2:40:41.320 --> 2:40:45.280 about marketing. People are even literally making careers based on 2:40:45.560 --> 2:40:47.880 just marketing. And so at the end of the day, 2:40:47.920 --> 2:40:51.000 what we're seeing is people I can talk to somebody 2:40:51.440 --> 2:40:53.800 for five minutes and I can tell you if they 2:40:53.920 --> 2:40:56.960 read or what network they listen to. It's almost we 2:40:57.080 --> 2:40:59.959 have dumbed the dumbing down of this nation where people 2:41:00.120 --> 2:41:03.080 are really not even critical thinkings about things that they're 2:41:03.160 --> 2:41:06.920 literally attaching to particular kind of positions because it make 2:41:07.000 --> 2:41:07.680 them seem cool. 2:41:08.360 --> 2:41:09.840 I mean, I don't know if y'all saw the thing. 2:41:10.240 --> 2:41:12.800 Y'all probably even talked about Walker Floka, this brother out here, 2:41:12.840 --> 2:41:16.959 he endorses somebody he ain't not go you never voted, 2:41:17.000 --> 2:41:18.920 and so but I understand because at the end of 2:41:18.959 --> 2:41:20.560 the day, who's who is it? 2:41:20.600 --> 2:41:20.920 Who is it? 2:41:23.080 --> 2:41:23.320 Come on? 2:41:23.760 --> 2:41:25.400 And I was going to tell y'all we're having such 2:41:25.440 --> 2:41:27.440 a profound discussion. But I was going to tell you 2:41:27.600 --> 2:41:31.520 that we were literally, uh sitting here. And while we 2:41:31.600 --> 2:41:38.720 were sitting here, Virginia Washington took Yes, Virginia organ event 2:41:38.800 --> 2:41:40.480 called since we've been sitting here. But it was such 2:41:40.480 --> 2:41:44.560 a profound discussion. I did not yet mean, let's say, hi, it's. 2:41:47.480 --> 2:41:50.840 Okay the same. 2:41:54.400 --> 2:41:59.680 Andrew said, damn it, I know I'm saying. You told them. 2:41:59.760 --> 2:42:01.000 I'm yeah, I'm agreeing with you. 2:42:01.440 --> 2:42:03.760 So we're still on track still, Yeah, okay, just making sure. 2:42:03.840 --> 2:42:05.240 And he was like, I just let me look at 2:42:05.280 --> 2:42:05.600 this map. 2:42:07.800 --> 2:42:08.360 Just take a show. 2:42:09.879 --> 2:42:12.480 When you hear Latasha say why it feels different to her, 2:42:13.560 --> 2:42:15.600 does that resonate with you? Is that the same feeling 2:42:15.640 --> 2:42:15.960 that you have? 2:42:16.160 --> 2:42:17.280 And what resonates with me. 2:42:17.360 --> 2:42:17.800 Is comes. 2:42:21.560 --> 2:42:25.440 Because you know I've found about the walking this elect 2:42:26.320 --> 2:42:26.800 I really do. 2:42:27.280 --> 2:42:29.800 I don't feel like if I gonna hand not lose 2:42:29.879 --> 2:42:32.280 hope because you guys don't want to see me there, 2:42:32.680 --> 2:42:37.280 I'm to I am, I am refusing to succumb that 2:42:37.520 --> 2:42:37.760 I am. 2:42:38.080 --> 2:42:41.200 I'm not tripping no more. 2:42:41.680 --> 2:42:45.800 Yeahnology listened, whatever, God God playing gonna happen. 2:42:48.879 --> 2:42:51.879 I don't ride ride with the VP. Yeah. 2:42:53.440 --> 2:42:59.200 Want music, yes, But Natasha, I want you to you 2:42:59.360 --> 2:43:01.320 got you, you are connected to the most time. I 2:43:01.360 --> 2:43:03.080 want you to close this out with something good because 2:43:03.080 --> 2:43:04.720 we know you got to go find some votes. You're 2:43:04.720 --> 2:43:05.560 not gonna find a vote. 2:43:07.160 --> 2:43:11.720 Every black GROUNDBA in America got God line backed. 2:43:11.560 --> 2:43:18.039 Up about that. Before you go there. 2:43:18.200 --> 2:43:21.000 I do have one question, right, you look at everything online, 2:43:21.040 --> 2:43:23.440 you look at banking online, we do everything online. 2:43:23.600 --> 2:43:26.439 Will ever get to a point where we can vote online? 2:43:26.520 --> 2:43:26.600 Right? 2:43:26.600 --> 2:43:29.320 Because today I voted today right. They didn't even look 2:43:29.320 --> 2:43:29.800 at my ID. 2:43:30.360 --> 2:43:31.359 I came up my little. 2:43:31.200 --> 2:43:32.960 Pamphlet that they mailed to me, They scanned it, and 2:43:33.040 --> 2:43:35.120 I voted right. So it could have been you, It 2:43:35.160 --> 2:43:37.240 could have been somebody else who knows who Sean is. 2:43:37.560 --> 2:43:39.040 But will it ever get to a point where we're 2:43:39.040 --> 2:43:39.920 gonna be voting online? 2:43:40.120 --> 2:43:41.120 It will if we make it be. 2:43:41.200 --> 2:43:43.800 So the truth of the matter is, while we voting, 2:43:43.920 --> 2:43:46.600 like like standing in line, I can move a million 2:43:46.640 --> 2:43:47.840 dollars on my cell phone. 2:43:48.200 --> 2:43:48.880 Why can't vote? 2:43:48.879 --> 2:43:51.360 There are people actually that are voting online that are abroad, 2:43:51.760 --> 2:43:55.000 And so we've got to recognize that there are barriers. 2:43:55.040 --> 2:43:56.800 There are intentional barriers. 2:43:56.600 --> 2:43:59.160 So people don't participate in this process because the truth 2:43:59.160 --> 2:44:01.720 of the matter is all of America's not participating in 2:44:01.760 --> 2:44:02.080 the process. 2:44:02.240 --> 2:44:04.480 What I do know for sure is that there are. 2:44:04.400 --> 2:44:06.879 More Americans in my that I believe that I run 2:44:06.920 --> 2:44:10.480 into that really believe we like we believe like ultimately 2:44:10.600 --> 2:44:12.080 that is the truth. And so part of what we 2:44:12.160 --> 2:44:14.400 gotta do is we've got to organize. We've got to 2:44:14.440 --> 2:44:17.160 get people to really be even the media, the way 2:44:17.280 --> 2:44:20.040 that the media has given him a pass, that they 2:44:20.120 --> 2:44:22.880 have created a false equivalency. It's like the way that 2:44:22.920 --> 2:44:25.720 they've had a double standard for her versus them, Like 2:44:25.920 --> 2:44:27.840 all of that has fed into that they are to 2:44:27.879 --> 2:44:30.440 be held accountable ASTs too. So at the end, we've 2:44:30.480 --> 2:44:32.840 got to do the work if we want the kind 2:44:32.840 --> 2:44:34.680 of America that we desire, Oh, we want the count 2:44:34.680 --> 2:44:37.520 of nation. I always ask people wherever I go, I 2:44:37.640 --> 2:44:40.960 usually ask people to close your eyes and I'll just 2:44:41.080 --> 2:44:43.560 and I'll ask them what your eyes closed? 2:44:44.240 --> 2:44:46.840 What would this nation look like? What would America look 2:44:46.879 --> 2:44:47.680 like without racism? 2:44:48.560 --> 2:44:50.440 And most of the time, no matter where I go, 2:44:51.240 --> 2:44:54.000 ninety nine to one hundred percent, ninety nine percent of 2:44:54.040 --> 2:44:55.480 the people in the room. I don't care if I'm 2:44:55.480 --> 2:44:57.280 at a big college. I don't care if I got 2:44:57.320 --> 2:44:58.840 ten thousand the orders. I don't care if I. 2:44:58.840 --> 2:44:59.520 Got five hundred. 2:45:00.000 --> 2:45:02.560 Majority of us have never asked ourself this question. Let 2:45:02.600 --> 2:45:05.600 me take racism, ain't my damn inheritance. That is not 2:45:05.840 --> 2:45:08.080 my I was not given that. That's not who That's 2:45:08.160 --> 2:45:09.840 not what I'm gonna take on like that's what I 2:45:09.879 --> 2:45:11.199 was supposed to do for the rest of my life. 2:45:11.440 --> 2:45:14.400 That But but we if we're not asking that question, 2:45:14.959 --> 2:45:17.720 and we're not imagining and thinking about what is gonna 2:45:17.760 --> 2:45:18.920 exist beyond that. 2:45:19.400 --> 2:45:22.000 Right, because there was a sister all we can all 2:45:22.080 --> 2:45:24.280 bent out of shape because of the map and all 2:45:24.320 --> 2:45:25.039 this other stuff. 2:45:25.360 --> 2:45:27.680 Right, there was a sister named Harriet Tupman that came 2:45:27.760 --> 2:45:31.280 to the South nineteen times with a fifty thousand dollars 2:45:31.360 --> 2:45:34.160 bounty on her head. She believed when nobody else around 2:45:34.160 --> 2:45:37.040 her believe I wanted them, I'm gonna believe until they 2:45:37.120 --> 2:45:37.400 call it. 2:45:38.000 --> 2:45:41.080 Oh, I'm gonna believe it. We and not just that 2:45:41.360 --> 2:45:43.880 call it even when they call it.

Everybody always says the South 2:56:34.640 --> 2:56:36.760 is red, and I always counter the South is red 2:56:36.840 --> 2:56:39.040 until it ain't. And we have seen Georgia's turn into 2:56:39.080 --> 2:56:41.080 a purple state. What would it take in Alabama? 2:56:41.160 --> 2:56:43.840 You have to have more people move into the state, 2:56:44.160 --> 2:56:46.480 both black, white, and brown coming in through the state. 2:56:46.520 --> 2:56:50.440 That kind of change the narrative reverse migrationeering again, Yeah, you. 2:56:50.720 --> 2:56:52.840 Have to have that. That comes from job growth, that 2:56:52.959 --> 2:56:55.280 comes from people relocating. That helps. 2:56:55.520 --> 2:56:57.680 Yeah, you had and now you can't have Florida, you know, 2:56:58.040 --> 2:57:00.440 I mean, Florida has gone now red in a way 2:57:00.440 --> 2:57:02.760 we wouldn't have expected in a different kind of way. 2:57:02.800 --> 2:57:04.160 So you don't want that. And now we look at 2:57:04.160 --> 2:57:05.640 Ohio places that well. 2:57:05.560 --> 2:57:07.760 It's the capital of white supremacy increasingly, so. 2:57:09.360 --> 2:57:12.360 Our migration has been of folks leaving Ohio who may 2:57:12.400 --> 2:57:14.240 have been law enforcement officers. To go back to one 2:57:14.240 --> 2:57:16.920 of y'all shows that y'all did with Byron where he said, 2:57:17.280 --> 2:57:19.879 we see all the law enforcement coming to Florida because 2:57:20.000 --> 2:57:24.280 they see an embracing No, they saw immunity from prosecution 2:57:24.520 --> 2:57:26.199 for anything that they do in the pursuit. 2:57:25.959 --> 2:57:27.520 Of their job, and now they're protected. 2:57:27.920 --> 2:57:31.520 So really quick where our show is actually technically off air, 2:57:31.680 --> 2:57:33.959 going off air, but we started a few minutes late, 2:57:34.000 --> 2:57:37.879 and we have breakfast club host Lauren l Rossa who 2:57:38.000 --> 2:57:42.320 is ready to go live from the Riser, so we're 2:57:42.360 --> 2:57:44.360 going to her now all right. 2:57:44.480 --> 2:57:46.800 We're cutting to Lauren. Now can we hear her? We 2:57:46.879 --> 2:57:47.600 should be able to. 2:57:47.640 --> 2:57:51.520 Hear her, Lauren, Lauren, where you're at, Lauren? 2:57:51.560 --> 2:57:52.280 Can you hear us? 2:57:52.440 --> 2:57:52.680 Lauren? 2:57:52.879 --> 2:57:52.959 There? 2:57:53.240 --> 2:57:58.959 I can hear them by building over there, Lauren. Wait, 2:57:59.120 --> 2:57:59.760 can you guys hear me? 2:57:59.800 --> 2:57:59.879 Now? 2:58:00.080 --> 2:58:03.600 Yeah, you can hear it. Okay, let me tell you. Okay. 2:58:03.680 --> 2:58:06.320 So, first of all, I heard Charlamagne say that the 2:58:06.440 --> 2:58:09.119 crowd was clearing out that it's not true except. 2:58:10.600 --> 2:58:12.240 They're literally stuck like Blue. 2:58:12.600 --> 2:58:14.400 The way that we were up there, where we were 2:58:14.480 --> 2:58:15.960 like kind of sitting on the edge of our seats, like, 2:58:15.959 --> 2:58:17.440 oh my god, was about topping? Was about that, And 2:58:17.600 --> 2:58:20.000 that's what's happening down here. When you hear them yell, 2:58:20.120 --> 2:58:23.240 it's any wind in Blue, especially Kama. Of course, when 2:58:23.280 --> 2:58:26.720 they get quiet, it's not good news. But no one's 2:58:26.760 --> 2:58:29.119 going anywhere. I think one thing that is worth pointing 2:58:29.160 --> 2:58:31.320 out to is even when they bring seeing Inn on 2:58:31.400 --> 2:58:34.640 the screen, everyone's watching the smaller, lower screens. In any 2:58:34.680 --> 2:58:36.840 small wins, like when she won Washington that wasn't on 2:58:36.879 --> 2:58:38.520 the big screen, it was on a lower third, and 2:58:38.560 --> 2:58:40.600 people started yelling. I'm like, why is that very so excited? 2:58:40.959 --> 2:58:44.000 The lower third, like they're literally glued to their I 2:58:44.040 --> 2:58:46.720 would say their seats, but they're standing up, and I 2:58:46.840 --> 2:58:49.640 think that Kamala maybe like I'm starting to see people 2:58:49.879 --> 2:58:50.640 near her stage. 2:58:50.640 --> 2:58:54.920 I don't. Oh yeah, that's right, she's coming here. 2:58:55.040 --> 2:58:58.320 So it's really close down here, y'all. It's the same 2:58:58.360 --> 2:58:59.760 way that we were up there, but it's like a. 2:58:59.760 --> 2:59:00.640 Group think down here. 2:59:01.120 --> 2:59:02.560 Yeah, we love it. 2:59:02.640 --> 2:59:06.320 Well, thank you Lauren for being there for us, and y'all, 2:59:06.400 --> 2:59:09.200 I thank you.
