Speaker 1: those shows Wednesday night and Thursday night from the DNC
Speaker 1: for this historic convention.
Speaker 3: So I'm pumped, y'all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me chin it too, And that tiff is
Speaker 4: going to deep just.
Speaker 5: I'm not into it.
Speaker 4: I'm We're going to get you into it.
Speaker 5: Well, we got about eight thousand recommendations from y'all, so
Speaker 5: thank you, thank you for saying the pizza recommendations. But
Speaker 5: I'm super I'm super excited about Chicago. We all know
Speaker 5: that I like being in person with y'all together, so
Speaker 5: I'm excited that we'll be together. But I'm just excited
Speaker 5: about the direction the vibe. It's a vibe, so I'm happy.
Speaker 4: I just need to remember to bring my charges for
Speaker 4: my clippers, since I have to clip my hair every day.
Speaker 5: I got you. Please let me try to shave. You
Speaker 5: don't have any hair. All I have to do is
Speaker 5: get it off.
Speaker 4: It shows up. I promise you see right now doing
Speaker 4: this once a week. She catch me in the in
Speaker 4: the between times, it.
Speaker 1: Sounded like Andrew is about to gard you to be word.
Speaker 1: That's all I want to say.
Speaker 3: Give me the giggle anywhere.
Speaker 4: Remember new she fell out the chair.
Speaker 1: She literally fell out. She's so crazy. But this is
Speaker 1: what I do want to happen. If tips clipping your hair,
Speaker 1: I would like Andrew to do my ponytail.
Speaker 3: We've been trying to these Caroline, these Caroline vibes. That's
Speaker 3: my need.
Speaker 4: I've been doing it for nine years. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's so dope.
Speaker 1: Okay, So today, before we get to the convention next week,
Speaker 1: we have a lot to talk about, y'all. So I
Speaker 1: my topic of choice is going to be Ron DeSantis'
Speaker 1: version of Florida A and M University, which might mean
Speaker 1: there may not be a Florida A University.
Speaker 3: So I want to talk about that.
Speaker 5: What y'all got I So I'm really first of all,
Speaker 5: I'm coming to y'all live all the way live from
Speaker 5: It's a Vibe on the Vineyard. And so it's been
Speaker 5: a lot of conversation around Donald Trump and his insults
Speaker 5: to Vice President Harris and I want to get a
Speaker 5: sense from y'all on how you think she should respond,
Speaker 5: if she should respond, and if she's not responding, who
Speaker 5: should respond? Because I volunteered tribute, so I want to
Speaker 5: get into that.
Speaker 4: I love that. I love that, and I did just
Speaker 4: want to add to the conversation today by embracing this
Speaker 4: really historic endorsement that the Harris Wall's ticket received this
Speaker 4: week from the oldest and largest civil rights organization in
Speaker 4: the Hispanic community, lou LAC. And I'll tell everybody what
Speaker 4: lou Lac is and to challenge us to answer the
Speaker 4: question of whether we think this first ever endorsement might
Speaker 4: be a sign of some things to come when it
Speaker 4: comes to the changing demographics of America and potential for
Speaker 4: future political alliances to build black, brown other power.
Speaker 3: That's what we need.
Speaker 1: And so in addition to Tiff and these insults, I'm
Speaker 1: speaking to someone who's just a walking and so Donald
Speaker 1: Trump did an interview with Elon Musk. We will also
Speaker 1: make sure we throw that in there, and all of
Speaker 1: that will be topped off by our favorite part of
Speaker 1: the show, which is hearing your questions or your comments
Speaker 1: and getting into that as well. You know, it's not
Speaker 1: a Native Lampot episode without hear from our NLP fan.
Speaker 3: So we cannot wait to hear from y'all.
Speaker 1: If y'all see my sister on the street, don't cuss
Speaker 1: her out too much about this deep dish preacher.
Speaker 3: She is gonna try it next week.
Speaker 5: I've heard it from everybody. I heard from all y'all.
Speaker 5: I got it. I gotta try a deep dish.
Speaker 3: We love it, okay, y'all. So we're gonna get into
Speaker 3: this episode.
Speaker 1: So first up, we wanted to talk about all of
Speaker 1: the many insults that are being hurled in Kamala Harris's direction.
Speaker 1: And then one of the critiques has been that she's
Speaker 1: not doing enough interviews.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Do I want to talk about that before we talk
Speaker 5: about the insult?
Speaker 3: Yep? Absolutely so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they've been saying a lot that Kamala Harris is
Speaker 1: m I A and they don't know why she's not
Speaker 1: doing any interviews before her acceptance speech at the convention.
Speaker 3: I have some strong films about this. I want to
Speaker 3: know what y'all think. Should she be doing interviews right now?
Speaker 5: I want to hear what you one of your thoughts?
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, my thoughts are that Kamala Harris is an
Speaker 1: incredible speaker. We've seen it at this doing her some
Speaker 1: speeches at all of the campaign rallies. I think that
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for her to really reset, and we've
Speaker 1: not seen that since she became the top of the ticket. Right,
Speaker 1: she has energized the base. Voter registration is up in
Speaker 1: most battleground states for Democrats, not for Republicans. It's actually
Speaker 1: declining for Republicans per reporting. So if that all that
Speaker 1: excitement exists, and you can have earned media covering you
Speaker 1: without you paying for the advertisement, I just don't see
Speaker 1: where you go wrong there. Of course, we've talked at
Speaker 1: nauseum on this show about why I think she should
Speaker 1: be doing conservative outlets. But I'm talking about all kinds
Speaker 1: of outlets. Even Luke Campbell was smart enough to run
Speaker 1: his thing back with Kamala Harris. I might do the
Speaker 1: same thing he ran his interview back with her from
Speaker 1: four years ago. Because people are just thirsting to hear
Speaker 1: from her. So I think she cannot miss speaking to
Speaker 1: people as she gets to her nomination speech. I don't
Speaker 1: think she has to be cold until that moment.
Speaker 3: What do y'all think?
Speaker 5: Well, I so as a journalist, I'm never going to
Speaker 5: advocate not talking to the press. So I do think
Speaker 5: there is something different like earned media. Yes, by all means,
Speaker 5: because she's running a campaign, But I do think there
Speaker 5: are some serious issues that need to be addressed and
Speaker 5: that the American people would want to hear from her
Speaker 5: about what's key for me. A lot of times when
Speaker 5: people build, you know, this huge crowd, and this extends
Speaker 5: from politics to entertainment and everything in between. I would
Speaker 5: love for people to take that power and empower black
Speaker 5: journalists at these different outlets. One, I think you get
Speaker 5: a more thorough interview that is someone who is at
Speaker 5: least familiar who's in the community and of the community,
Speaker 5: who can have an intellectual Q and a an intellectual
Speaker 5: exchange of ideas and ideology. So I would love to
Speaker 5: see her at this moment, tap into an Aaron Haynes
Speaker 5: at the nineteenth and do an interview. Aaron has interviewed
Speaker 5: her several times. Tap into a Joy Read at MSNBC,
Speaker 5: Tap into niche media, you know, sit down with Michael
Speaker 5: Harriet at the Root and watch people lose their mind.
Speaker 5: They think the out way media has failed us. I
Speaker 5: watched the interview with Dana Bash with jd Vance and
Speaker 5: I was just baffled at the questions that she did
Speaker 5: ask and the questions that she didn't ask, And I
Speaker 5: just think it's a failure. No shade to her. I
Speaker 5: worked with her twenty four years ago at CNN, but
Speaker 5: it's just the way the mainstream media has failed us.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I would like to see her sit down.
Speaker 5: There are questions. I think people do have questions about
Speaker 5: having a woman lead the country as a wartime president.
Speaker 5: There is a burseoning war with Iran that could break off.
Speaker 5: I'd want to hear her comments on that. I think
Speaker 5: there are some defectors who still have concerns about Pala signed,
Speaker 5: I'd want to hear her clear thoughts on that and
Speaker 5: giving them in sound bites on the campaign speech. There's
Speaker 5: not the opportunity for follow up. So it's not a
Speaker 5: criticism of her that she hasn't done it, like we're
Speaker 5: trying to win an election right now, But I do
Speaker 5: look forward to her having a sit down, and I
Speaker 5: think a sit down is better than a press conference.
Speaker 5: So I would definitely advise, if I had the ear
Speaker 5: of her campaign, advise against the press conference, but a
Speaker 5: sit down interview with a serious journalist, not an entertainer.
Speaker 5: Not You can do all those things, but you need
Speaker 5: to sit across from a serious journalist to tackle some
Speaker 5: of these weightier issues that you don't always get into
Speaker 5: on the campaign trail. So I look forward to when
Speaker 5: she does it on her time and her schedule, and
Speaker 5: I hope she does it with someone in the community
Speaker 5: and of the community.
Speaker 4: Andrew, what you think, I think, I think they've done
Speaker 4: it perfectly. I think they've done it right. I think
Speaker 4: it was important for her to get out there to
Speaker 4: find herself before an audience. Listen, the landscape changed overnight
Speaker 4: for her, really right, they were racing in one direction
Speaker 4: as a supportive cast to Joe Biden, which she has
Speaker 4: been and she is still the vice president. But but
Speaker 4: but she was launched into this, and I got to
Speaker 4: say she has shown up at least so far as
Speaker 4: I can assess near perfectly, and her choices and the
Speaker 4: way that she has handled things and the way that
Speaker 4: she's adjusted in real time. I think on the stump,
Speaker 4: and I think, rather than to just to say, I
Speaker 4: think sometimes the media have this superiority complex in the
Speaker 4: sense that they are the ones to ask the questions
Speaker 4: that are intuitive and that get to the heart of
Speaker 4: what it is, when in truth, for most these folks,
Speaker 4: they are trying to get that moment that allows their
Speaker 4: interview to go viral so that they become the superstar
Speaker 4: within the network and the look two person and that
Speaker 4: kind of thing. So there's a bit of self interest
Speaker 4: here that I think deserves being acknowledged. I think she
Speaker 4: will do it. She will do it in her timing,
Speaker 4: and I think Kamala Harrison needs to stay on her script,
Speaker 4: run this campaign from their campaign plan, and not allow
Speaker 4: the voices. And I'm speaking and thinking particularly of those
Speaker 4: on Fox who have made this a very central theme there.
Speaker 4: Why have they made this essential theme there that she's
Speaker 4: running from the press, not talking to the press. Well,
Speaker 4: they are trying to suggest and see the idea that
Speaker 4: the woman's not bright enough to sit in a room
Speaker 4: with another bright person in exchange. Well, she isn't Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: We know he isn't enable and incapable of that. She, however, isn't.
Speaker 4: I think leave people wanting more rather than having had enough.
Speaker 4: And I think she's leaving a lot of people salivating
Speaker 4: wanting more of her. And I think that beats the alternative,
Speaker 4: which is we've had enough. I'm changing the channel.
Speaker 3: Well, so let me just push back.
Speaker 1: I'm just want to push back on this a little bit. Andrew,
Speaker 1: does your idea about her running a near perfect campaign
Speaker 1: and having people salivate, salivating for more? Do you want
Speaker 1: to think about the fact that it's eighty two days left?
Speaker 3: Because can you?
Speaker 4: That's all the more reason, all the more reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it creates some stimulus and people, some craving
Speaker 4: in people. I think what ultimately will happen is there
Speaker 4: will be this come down in a settling by all
Speaker 4: of us. And I think that that's fine. But while
Speaker 4: she has the wave and has the ability to expand
Speaker 4: this campaign into states where we are right now not competitive.
Speaker 4: I will tell you it Isn't the American people out
Speaker 4: there clamoring for her to do interviews. They're not. They
Speaker 4: want to see her on rallies, they want to hear
Speaker 4: on the stump, they want to hear the fight in
Speaker 4: her voice, they want to see the eye roll, they
Speaker 4: want they want it all. But they're not out here
Speaker 4: clamoring for her to sit down with with with with
Speaker 4: an interviewer. They're just not.
Speaker 1: Think are some folks who do want to hear because
Speaker 1: now like, well, I don't just think it's an interviewer.
Speaker 1: I think there's one thing that Lenard said, and there's
Speaker 1: John Carlpiece where he was talking about main character energy,
Speaker 1: talking about Joe Biden not having it, but Kamala has
Speaker 1: all the main character energy, and it was It's interesting
Speaker 1: because I do think, like I even maybe it's because
Speaker 1: I do this stuff, but I'm like, I want to
Speaker 1: see how she shows up now because it has witched,
Speaker 1: Like we know her in that main character energy, but
Speaker 1: a lot of the country hasn't seen her in that way.
Speaker 1: So I kind of want her And then you know,
Speaker 1: there's also this, like you said, the nonsense is tip
Speaker 1: with on Fox, where they've been saying like, oh, she
Speaker 1: can't sit down. Oh and when she's when she's on
Speaker 1: the fly, she stumbles. That's why Donald Trump wants to
Speaker 1: challenge her.
Speaker 3: To three D and debates.
Speaker 5: I want to.
Speaker 1: I want her to prove them wrong because there are
Speaker 1: some folks who are underestimating her. And I think in
Speaker 1: this timeframe, which you can't have, is an underestimation become apathy.
Speaker 3: And I think it.
Speaker 1: Can easily turn into that if you're not I know
Speaker 1: what you're saying about the overexposure for candidates normally, but
Speaker 1: in eighty two days.
Speaker 3: Is it really going Are you really gonna run the
Speaker 3: risk of overexposure? I think you can't get something.
Speaker 4: Run what she is, what she's doing, and she's running
Speaker 4: up the numbers of people who want to see her,
Speaker 4: hear from her, maybe reward her with the presidency because
Speaker 4: they are so energized by what they have seen from her.
Speaker 4: And I believe her superpower here is being underestimated and
Speaker 4: then showing up and clearing up all the faces, clearing
Speaker 4: it up completely. And the people who won't who won't
Speaker 4: vibe with her. Aren't gonna vibe with her ever on
Speaker 4: that level, they're just not. So I think, hey, play
Speaker 4: with the people bringing you to the party, those who
Speaker 4: looking like they're trying to wink and dance with you,
Speaker 4: like some of these folks we've seen out in Arizona
Speaker 4: who have come out and said, we're Republicans, but we
Speaker 4: we changed the republic. Because she's out there doing it
Speaker 4: her way right now. Right.
Speaker 5: That's why tip Under weigh in about five minutes a guy,
Speaker 5: because everything y'all are saying is like, yes, yes, yes, Andrew,
Speaker 5: I think you're absolutely right. It is the Beltway press
Speaker 5: who is pressed for her to do an interview. It
Speaker 5: is not the constituents. All of us work in this space.
Speaker 5: You know, I've covered politics for twenty four years. Angela,
Speaker 5: you've worked in politics. Andrew, you are a politician, you know,
Speaker 5: So we have a different I think lens. I know
Speaker 5: you're you're a man of the people, so we're all
Speaker 5: people are the people, but we have a different lens
Speaker 5: into it. So it's like, yeah, I get Angela's point,
Speaker 5: like I want them to prove her wrong. I don't
Speaker 5: really care if she proves Fox News wrong or not.
Speaker 5: Like they are, they've already been proven wrong.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: For me, I think it's just an opportunity for her
Speaker 5: to answer some weightier questions. So I get your point,
Speaker 5: Andrew about the overexposure. But I get your point Angela, like, no,
Speaker 5: go out there and throw a punch and show them
Speaker 5: that you can do it. My complaint is, I guess,
Speaker 5: more to your point, Andrew, the interviewer themselves, who want
Speaker 5: this viral moment, who would rather fail the country, and
Speaker 5: you know, just to do you know, both sides politics,
Speaker 5: And I just wanted to complain about what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: With that interview on CNN with jd Vance, I just
Speaker 5: felt like it was such a missed opportunity. They spent
Speaker 5: so much time talking about Walls's military service, and there
Speaker 5: was no question about Donald Trump's lack of military service.
Speaker 5: There was no reference to cadet bone spurs saying he
Speaker 5: couldn't serve. There was no reference to the comments that
Speaker 5: he reportedly made about veterans. There was no reference to
Speaker 5: the policy he instituted that was harmful to veterans. And
Speaker 5: they're doing this like gossip type interview. And she one
Speaker 5: of the questions that she posed to jd Vance is,
Speaker 5: did he think Kamala Harris was black? Who gives a
Speaker 5: good god dang if you think Tama.
Speaker 3: Harris was right?
Speaker 5: Exactly a disrespectable question. You don't get to tell black
Speaker 5: people who was black or not. It is so out
Speaker 5: of pocket to even ask the question. And so at
Speaker 5: that point, I'm looking like, to me, at that point,
Speaker 5: Dana Bash looked like one of them. You know, it
Speaker 5: was like, what a missed opportunity before the American people.
Speaker 5: It could have been a fruitful interview. And that's what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I don't think that was her intention. I
Speaker 5: think she wanted to do a good interview. But that
Speaker 5: is the difference between someone asking a question who centers
Speaker 5: the comfort of white people. It's more specifically the comfort
Speaker 5: of conservative white people, and everything you do is from
Speaker 5: that prism, it's from that friend that and so the people,
Speaker 5: the American people are like, we don't give a damn
Speaker 5: about her.
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about that. You actually named three
Speaker 1: journalists who we're biased. They are friends, but we act
Speaker 1: they're absolutely top notch. Cream Krimdalla Crim like cream of
Speaker 1: the crop. They are amazing. And you talked about Aaron Haynes,
Speaker 1: you talked about Michael Harriet, you talked.
Speaker 3: About Joy Reed. Joy was the person who walked into
Speaker 3: did the walk and talk. Was Kamala Harris rolling out
Speaker 3: her twenty twenty campaign. This is the perfect time.
Speaker 1: For her to come back and say, hey, Joy read,
Speaker 1: let me tell you what's been going on since the
Speaker 1: last time we got together and did a walk and talk.
Speaker 1: So I don't think she has to go and do
Speaker 1: the mainstream interview that earned media piece their way. She can,
Speaker 1: to interest point do it her way, and I think
Speaker 1: part of that is saying, hey, let let us show
Speaker 1: you what real interviews look like. Let us show you
Speaker 1: the type of profile piece that should and could be done.
Speaker 1: She also should be going on these morning shows that
Speaker 1: reach the flyover state. She should be going on I
Speaker 1: still think Fox, because it's not just a Fox News platform.
Speaker 1: There are tons of viewers. They are beating ceing It
Speaker 1: and EMHISIPC and over fist right now with viewers. She
Speaker 1: still has to convert some folks and add to her base.
Speaker 1: That's how you win an election. With the electoral College
Speaker 1: and tail it's abolished. We got a mini pod coming
Speaker 1: up on that one days.
Speaker 3: Everybody talking body.
Speaker 5: I just want to say, I got a little bit
Speaker 5: of push back on that, but we got to go
Speaker 5: to a break. Yeah, let's go to a breaker. We'll
Speaker 5: pick it up on the other side. Well come, well, come, well, come, well, come,
Speaker 5: well come, welcome.
Speaker 4: So we are back, y'all. Y'all can tell we're way
Speaker 4: too excited about all this because we were talking over
Speaker 4: each other trying to get it in. I just want
Speaker 4: to say, answer Fox News, I was with you on that,
Speaker 4: and again I'm with you still, so long as she
Speaker 4: does it to the point of her benefit, use it,
Speaker 4: use this escape. Understand exactly what they're going to do
Speaker 4: to you know what moment they are looking for, but
Speaker 4: also be very clear about the moment you're looking for, yes,
Speaker 4: and then drive it to that end. Because I think
Speaker 4: that's what Donald Trump did with the black press. I'll
Speaker 4: call the nigga a nigga in their face. He did,
Speaker 4: and that and that excuse the language.
Speaker 5: I didn't like that at all.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it either, but I think what would
Speaker 1: have been incredible tip and like to your point of
Speaker 1: who were advising her campaign, we had to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he went to nabj you couldn't go to NABJ sit
Speaker 1: down with a panel of black journalists on your time
Speaker 1: at the at the VP's residence.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, like, answer it right.
Speaker 1: Away, show him how it should have been done, show
Speaker 1: him what presidential looks like. I think that would have
Speaker 1: been incredible. I also think to Andrew's point, you know
Speaker 1: what they're going to say. I wish that we could
Speaker 1: have done our sparring episode, but Tip is too cool
Speaker 1: to be in character with me.
Speaker 4: We're doing it, You're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, like, show her we can do
Speaker 1: a sparring round with a fake a foe of Fox
Speaker 1: interviewer and show her what some of those answers should
Speaker 1: look like.
Speaker 3: I think that it was.
Speaker 4: I think we can have it both ways. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: think we have it both ways. I think we're doing both.
Speaker 4: I think she's doing them both.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And when and when I say sit down with a
Speaker 5: black journalist, that doesn't mean sit down with the black
Speaker 5: journalists and talk about quote unquote black issutry, right, you know,
Speaker 5: like there are serious journalists who happen to be black,
Speaker 5: who are perfectly capable and well versed and well read
Speaker 5: on issues happening in the Middle East, on the rise
Speaker 5: of the Global South, on economic issues, on domestic policy,
Speaker 5: and issues that are relevant of the community. Who I
Speaker 5: think do a better job of speaking to the rising
Speaker 5: majority of this country and better reflecting the demographics of
Speaker 5: this country. And that's why you see people increasingly tuning
Speaker 5: out cable news and increasingly finding alternative aspects of President
Speaker 5: elect Kamala Harris held a rally on Saturday and three
Speaker 5: million people streamed it on YouTube, and sadly none of
Speaker 5: the cable networks carriod it. You know, they are still
Speaker 5: ten years behind the time. They've learned nothing since twenty sixteen,
Speaker 5: and it's just devastating to see. So while we're throwing
Speaker 5: out opportunities for her to sit down with a panel
Speaker 5: of black folks, Native Lampod also volunteers and reviewed. We
Speaker 5: would love to come to the VP residents again and
Speaker 5: sit down and have a conversation with her, so out
Speaker 5: throw our head in that ring as well. But I
Speaker 5: did want to shift topics too, because while we're talking.
Speaker 1: About can I ask you one question, do you think
Speaker 1: that we should figure out if news isn't going to
Speaker 1: cover these rallies, maybe we figure out how to stream
Speaker 1: them on our page.
Speaker 5: That's a good ass idea.
Speaker 3: What do you say? And maybe we should. I mean,
Speaker 3: we only got eighty two days. Let's figure it out. Nick,
Speaker 3: help us. We need to figure it out. But don't
Speaker 3: come on, can't come on as an echo, but can
Speaker 3: you help Nick?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Nick, let's not stream panels. And but the crazy part
Speaker 5: is they did that for Donald Trump. They gave him,
Speaker 5: like they billions of dollars in free advertising in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 5: and they're making the same mistake when he held that
Speaker 5: asinine press conference where he just stood there and flailed
Speaker 5: about and acted ridiculous. And the cable news networks were
Speaker 5: all too eager because they're looking for that cable news
Speaker 5: boon in the ratings that they once had. But if
Speaker 5: we know anything about America, America don't like a repeat.
Speaker 5: And you can see already that people like, we've seen
Speaker 5: this side show already and we're done. Speaking of side show,
Speaker 5: I want to talk about these insults that Donald Trump
Speaker 5: has been hurling at President Alec Harris, and it is
Speaker 5: I find themselves infuriating. So I wanted to talk to
Speaker 5: you guys and get your thoughts on how people should
Speaker 5: respond because I have to say I'm really well. First
Speaker 5: of all, I didn't know everybody was gonna be wearing glasses.
Speaker 5: So while I make my point, I'll put on a
Speaker 5: pair of.
Speaker 4: Good times.
Speaker 3: I didn't tell me we.
Speaker 5: Were all wearing glasses. Your glasses are cute. My point is,
Speaker 5: I there is this philosophy in politics introduced to us
Speaker 5: by our forever flowist Michelle Obama, who you know, when
Speaker 5: they go low, we go high. And I just don't
Speaker 5: think that's necessarily the way to do it now now.
Speaker 5: But but you're not running for president, so I think
Speaker 5: President elect Harris should do that. I don't think on
Speaker 5: the debate stage that she should engage in the mud
Speaker 5: slinging that you know pigs do that, but she doesn't need.
Speaker 5: But she can sling much in a way that's not
Speaker 5: trafficking and insult.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 3: We could have practiced this, but you don't want to
Speaker 3: role play with me. I'm not bait.
Speaker 5: So here's so Angela suggested that we like are in
Speaker 5: character and do like a mock debate. Since he's referenced,
Speaker 5: I want the viewers to know that we do like
Speaker 5: a mock debate and like we're in character. The whole time.
Speaker 5: And I do feel like like this sounds like an
Speaker 5: SNL open to me, like I'm not going to be
Speaker 5: in character. It's not actually debate prep. You know, in
Speaker 5: debate prep you have the actual candidate and somebody playing
Speaker 5: their opponent, and it's just not my what I do.
Speaker 5: But Angela, I'm sure a lot of y'all would like
Speaker 5: to see Angela Andrew and character. I would tune in.
Speaker 5: I just didn't want to do it, but y'all.
Speaker 4: Drop how I felt all those like no, I don't
Speaker 4: want to do.
Speaker 5: It, and then you're like, Okay, I'll do it. So
Speaker 5: I feel like y'all are on the same page with
Speaker 5: each other.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? It was the most serious.
Speaker 3: Because how many debate preps are you met? At me?
Speaker 4: And I'm not sure how many I walked out of?
Speaker 4: Maybe too many to I mean, it got under my skin,
Speaker 4: but it was so perfect to do it that way
Speaker 4: rather than being on a stage.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well I don't know about that, but I will tell
Speaker 4: you this as it relates to how Kamala should handle it.
Speaker 4: And I'm not an expert here, but but just as
Speaker 4: you know, I know it went viral and that kind
Speaker 4: of thing. But when I said, I'm not calling Ron
Speaker 4: de Santa's a racist, I'm simply saying that the racist
Speaker 4: believe he's a racist. It and it caught off, but
Speaker 4: I wasn't launching a direct attack against him. I was
Speaker 4: simply validating that the people he rolling with certainly believe
Speaker 4: he's part of their company, or else they wouldn't be there.
Speaker 4: And I and I agree, I think it's not so
Speaker 4: much a rise above it as it is she doesn't
Speaker 4: have time for the games, right, This is actually the
Speaker 4: adult stage. Right we are we are competing to be
Speaker 4: the leader of the free world, and for people who
Speaker 4: want to kick rocks and play games, this isn't the
Speaker 4: platform for you. And I think she I mean, that
Speaker 4: is a level of rise above that I would want
Speaker 4: from her, But to trade bards with this guy, No,
Speaker 4: she had a look not only to the task, but
Speaker 4: to the task and above the task by saying, look,
Speaker 4: this isn't a kid sport. I'm not here for games, moderators,
Speaker 4: are we?
Speaker 7: Is this what this is?
Speaker 5: Because also Andrew, one of the go Ahead, started well,
Speaker 5: I just wanted to say, that's part of the reason
Speaker 5: why I didn't, because there's a lot of serious issues.
Speaker 5: So that's part of the reason why I didn't want
Speaker 5: to do, like be in character, like people's lives are
Speaker 5: on the line, you know, and it's just I didn't
Speaker 5: like it. I wanted to Angela, if you want to
Speaker 5: go ahead, make your point, because I want to toss
Speaker 5: to the sound that I that Donald Trump uh comments
Speaker 5: he made about her Time magazine cover. But but you
Speaker 5: you go ahead, and then we'll we'll go to that next.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you know, there are serious there
Speaker 1: are serious films where people are in character. There are
Speaker 1: serious you know, ask kits or yeah, but there are
Speaker 1: also people who are talking about serious issues. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's just about being in character. It's about showing
Speaker 1: someone who may not be getting that guidance in debate,
Speaker 1: prep how to respond, you know. And I think one
Speaker 1: of the things that Andrew you also did really well
Speaker 1: in debate was facial expressions. Sometimes you're not going to
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to respond to what do you say,
Speaker 1: do you shake your head, do you roll your eyes,
Speaker 1: do you say you do you mouth right? Like, There's
Speaker 1: so many things that you can do, and I think
Speaker 1: that those those points of guidance need to be given,
Speaker 1: but Tip definitely has a good one on what not
Speaker 1: to do, not just send a debate, but even in
Speaker 1: an interview.
Speaker 5: So yeah, so take take a listen. This was in uh,
Speaker 5: it was not an interview, but it was a sit
Speaker 5: down fanboy session with Elon Musk and Donald Trump. And
Speaker 5: so you guys have likely seen Time magazines cover featuring
Speaker 5: the President elect on it. And this is how Donald
Speaker 5: Trump characterized the cover. Take a listen, and we'll talk
Speaker 5: about it. On the other side.
Speaker 6: He's getting a free rider her on Time magazine today.
Speaker 6: She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live.
Speaker 6: It was the drawing, and actually she looked very much
Speaker 6: like our great first lady Milania. He looks she didn't
Speaker 6: look she didn't look like Camilla. That's right, But of
Speaker 6: course she's a beautiful woman.
Speaker 4: So we'll leave it at that, right, Who is Camilla?
Speaker 5: Okay, So, so many issues with this.
Speaker 3: Why does he think she looks like Milania?
Speaker 4: Listen?
Speaker 5: Well, number one on precisely, so this is what I
Speaker 5: wanted to say about that Number one not on Milanya's
Speaker 5: best day, Okay. But the rest of it is this
Speaker 5: is classic plantation politics. That's all too familiar to black
Speaker 5: women and Nick get ready for the bleet button because
Speaker 5: it's going to require some swearing. I think Donald Trump
Speaker 5: looks at her and he there is an attraction. So
Speaker 5: it's and I think it's something that's familiar to a
Speaker 5: lot of black women that we've experienced. He doesn't want
Speaker 5: to know if he wants to fuck her or fight her,
Speaker 5: you know. And it is the same way. You take
Speaker 5: it back back to Plantation politics of black women being
Speaker 5: lusted after their oppressors, and it was with disgusted and
Speaker 5: lust where black women were rapes, you know, like there
Speaker 5: we were theirs to take and do whatever you wanted
Speaker 5: with them, and we bore the bruises and the babies
Speaker 5: of these men. And so when I heard him speak
Speaker 5: about her with this lust, that oh, but she's this
Speaker 5: beautiful woman, but he was also the subtext of hate,
Speaker 5: like I hate this woman because she makes them feel small,
Speaker 5: and that he wants to dominate her in a way
Speaker 5: by insulting her. It was so disgusting to hear him
Speaker 5: speak about her, and the intentional mispronunciation of Madam President
Speaker 5: Elect's name I just found so incredibly distasteful, but also
Speaker 5: not surprising at all. I knew what it was immediately
Speaker 5: on site. It was recognizable, and I think that is
Speaker 5: the kind of thing that she will have to rise above.
Speaker 5: I think on the other side of that, can't nobody
Speaker 5: clap back at you and snatch your soul and destroy
Speaker 5: your life like a black woman chorus. Okay, let your
Speaker 5: surrogates do that. Let the people around you do that.
Speaker 5: Let us come snatch this man's dye yellow hair, bald
Speaker 5: head every time he opens his mouth. Because the reason
Speaker 5: why they attack so many black women. Our sister Brittany
Speaker 5: Pacnet Cunningham said this on our live show from Miami
Speaker 5: is because we are the least protected, we are the
Speaker 5: least defendant, and so if we lock arms and become
Speaker 5: so impenetrable, this is the Bishop Brittany as angela causer.
Speaker 5: Bishop Brittany said that we lock arms and become so
Speaker 5: impenetrable that he will know better. So I don't know
Speaker 5: how we coordinate these attacks, ladies, but my sisters out
Speaker 5: there know exactly what need to be done. Y'all understand
Speaker 5: the assignment, and I know we certainly volunteer as tribute
Speaker 5: to help those backs. Brothers, and I think brothers have
Speaker 5: to do it too. I just think, I know, I
Speaker 5: keep one. I have to really work hard because I
Speaker 5: keep one in the chamber, and so I got an
Speaker 5: acid ass tongue, and I'm always ready for first time
Speaker 5: somebody say something smart to me, I'm ready to clap back,
Speaker 5: and it takes so much work not to do that.
Speaker 5: And it's like, I don't know. I'm looking at him
Speaker 5: say this, and I'm looking at these two things, and
Speaker 5: I'm like, it's go time, girls, Let's do it, you know,
Speaker 5: like I'm just ready for the fight. I feel enthusiastic,
Speaker 5: I feel joyful, I feel hopeful, I feel angry, and
Speaker 5: I feel pissed off. And that's a bad combination for
Speaker 5: black women to feel because it's like, yeah, you want
Speaker 5: to go to war. You want him to have a
Speaker 5: war with black women, Bring it because we're ready.
Speaker 1: He's terrified the way he is terrified of it, But
Speaker 1: also there are other folks that should be terrified, and
Speaker 1: they're on the same side of the aisle. I think
Speaker 1: what's frustrating about this moment to me is Donald Trump
Speaker 1: almost feels like he has license to do this because
Speaker 1: she has been so not protected by the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: This didn't start with Donald Trump's insults.
Speaker 1: This started within the There were folks ready to have
Speaker 1: a whole new primary to suppress a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: votes who voted in a primary for a Biden Harris ticket,
Speaker 1: who were ready to throw it all out, including y'all's
Speaker 1: favorite and first black president, ready to throw it all
Speaker 1: away to have a primary to put in a new
Speaker 1: candidate so that Kamala Harris would not have an opportunity.
Speaker 3: If you're that not that, I'm sorry, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 3: it all today.
Speaker 1: Fab you or what do you mean that he wanted
Speaker 1: to have a primary, Like what I'm saying that Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris was not Barack Obama's choice. Barack Obama was backed
Speaker 1: into a corner on that Sunday when the official announcement
Speaker 1: went out from Joe Biden saying that he was stepping down,
Speaker 1: and then a tweet went up saying that he was
Speaker 1: endorsing Kamala A how do you know it wasn't his choice?
Speaker 5: He shocked everybody, Are you kidding? Meet now fashion reporting
Speaker 5: about like, how do you know she was not his choice?
Speaker 3: I got sources?
Speaker 5: Okay, so you spoke to somebody who said President Obama does.
Speaker 1: Not support Kamala has facts that Kamala Harris was not
Speaker 1: Barack Obama's choice, and I'm telling you I know for
Speaker 1: a fact.
Speaker 5: For the audience, according to.
Speaker 1: Any fact that she was not Nancy Pelosi, I know
Speaker 1: for a fact that she was not Nancy Pelosi's choice.
Speaker 1: I know for a fact she was not Barack Obama's choice.
Speaker 1: And I know for a fact they thought they were
Speaker 1: going to have a contested.
Speaker 4: And I think you we all had the all three
Speaker 4: of us, I think had the intuitive instincts that this
Speaker 4: was not going to be the party that ain't the
Speaker 4: fight that they wanted. And I loved the rapid organization
Speaker 4: of folks like your Teka folks.
Speaker 5: From her Louie black women and.
Speaker 4: Then absolutely because without I mean y'all were coordinated, because
Speaker 4: y'all been doing this for months now, meeting and ready
Speaker 4: in yourselves for.
Speaker 3: Whatever the years. Okay, this no, no, what I just
Speaker 3: want just to give you some context.
Speaker 1: Andrew, four years ago, Joe Taka organized all of us
Speaker 1: together because they weren't trying to pick a black woman
Speaker 1: vice president. And when Kamala Harris was on the list
Speaker 1: with Big Wretch, we were like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: So folks who have been ready, like folks have been
Speaker 1: ready because they know what it's like. And we've talked
Speaker 1: about this to be passed, that for promotion to be
Speaker 1: looked over, to be unprotected, as Tip said, And so
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, there are folks who in this
Speaker 1: same party needed the same protection of the black woman
Speaker 1: of the CBC member to endorse them so they look credible,
Speaker 1: and for those.
Speaker 3: Same people to turn their back on her in the
Speaker 3: eleventh hour is like wow. So I just think that
Speaker 3: we need to call it out. I'd like to see
Speaker 3: some apologies.
Speaker 7: I let it.
Speaker 4: I would just say, that's not what gave Donald Trump license.
Speaker 4: So what supreacy is what from birth, from the moment
Speaker 4: he could move, and it's on.
Speaker 3: Both sides of the aisle. That is a point that's.
Speaker 4: There's no way we dump him with no commitment toward her.
Speaker 4: And you had the same people saying dump him at
Speaker 4: the same time saying, oh, but we need a process,
Speaker 4: so I can't. I'm sorry, process.
Speaker 5: I want to pick us on that we gotta take
Speaker 5: a quick break. But I want to pick up because
Speaker 5: there was a lot of it was a lot of
Speaker 5: people in Congress, and I'm kind of with Angela. I
Speaker 5: want to inst on my gravestone everybody who was supporting Yes,
Speaker 5: all right, I will take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 5: back on the other side. All right, we're back from break. Okay,
Speaker 5: we all fire to day.
Speaker 4: A lot of thought.
Speaker 5: Back up because Angela and beef still, So Angela sources
Speaker 5: because I mean, in transparency, you guys, we we talked
Speaker 5: a lot about this incus. I just wanted to be
Speaker 5: clear where Angela was getting her information from. So Angela
Speaker 5: has sources who uh you know, referenced President Obama. I
Speaker 5: saw the Nancy Pelosi interview on CNN, and it was
Speaker 5: clear to me that there was beef between them.
Speaker 3: Can we play that. We don't even have that sound.
Speaker 3: Can you find that sound?
Speaker 4: Nick?
Speaker 5: Because Tip is right, went sound because there's so many times.
Speaker 1: When they asked her about like did she support Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris and like yes, what their relationship was like just.
Speaker 5: In case we can't find that sound. Dana Bash asked
Speaker 5: former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had she mentored Vice President Harris,
Speaker 5: had she offered her support? And the Speaker Pelosi uh
Speaker 5: was saying, well, you know, basically you you come and
Speaker 5: you have to be your own person, which is an
Speaker 5: odd statement.
Speaker 7: And then she.
Speaker 4: Right in Congress a whole.
Speaker 5: Then she talked about her winning elections and uh, speaker,
Speaker 5: former Speaker Pelosi endorsed her opponent, and so she talks
Speaker 5: about that. She's like, well, I endorsed, you know, her
Speaker 5: opponent in her race for SI. But she understands that,
Speaker 5: she knows how it goes. It was not a very
Speaker 5: It was clear watching it if you understand politics. Even
Speaker 5: if you didn't understand politics, it was clear that this
Speaker 5: is not a woman who was a fan of hers,
Speaker 5: but she was not the only member. I mean, I
Speaker 5: think that's the point Angela that you're trying to make
Speaker 5: is not party specific, like we are disrespected on both
Speaker 5: sides of the aisle. There were plenty of people who
Speaker 5: were like, no, it can't be Biden. But wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 5: we're not about to gift it to her, and these
Speaker 5: conversations about you know, it was gifted to her. She
Speaker 5: has won more elections than Donald Trump has. His first
Speaker 5: job in government was President of the United States, and
Speaker 5: arguably he didn't win that when you go back and
Speaker 5: look at the data. I want people to remember in
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, they completely discarded and discounted seventy five thousand
Speaker 5: votes out of Detroit, Michigan. Now let's just trust the
Speaker 5: blackest city in Michigan. Let's just say hypothetically, in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 5: that's sixty thousand black folks voted for Donald Trump. They didn't.
Speaker 5: But let's just say that even if fifteen thousand had
Speaker 5: gone to Hillary Clinton, she lost Michigan by ten thousand votes.
Speaker 5: Had those fifteen thousand votes gone to her, she would
Speaker 5: have carried Michigan and thus won the presidency. So they
Speaker 5: are already a to some trickery. So that's why I
Speaker 5: think when we see one of our own being attacked,
Speaker 5: when we see people before we've even gotten to an election,
Speaker 5: people on the Democratic side of the divide trying to
Speaker 5: rob her of this opportunity and trying to discount her.
Speaker 5: They did not want it to be black women versus Democrats,
Speaker 5: because anytime you on the oppice side of us, you
Speaker 5: are likely on the wrong side of history. And that's
Speaker 5: not a war you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to say I've been down a
Speaker 1: rabbit hole at this point because I was trying to
Speaker 1: find this sound and now I have found the times
Speaker 1: where Nancy Blosi wasn't willing to commit that Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: will be the best VP pick for Biden, that you know,
Speaker 1: Like it's like, there are so many things she asked
Speaker 1: was asked about anyway, I'm not going to the point
Speaker 1: is there is a lot of baggage on the Democratic
Speaker 1: side of the aisle, and that gives the other side
Speaker 1: license to insult Kamala Harris, to come at her about
Speaker 1: her personal life, to talk talk about how she speaks,
Speaker 1: to talk about how she laughs, all of those things,
Speaker 1: because sexism is real and racism is real, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it beyond people like Yeah, that's that's my point today.
Speaker 1: And I know that this is an uncomfortable conversation, but
Speaker 1: if we don't have the uncomfortable conversation, we can't get
Speaker 1: to the apologies. I think, even going back to last
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that Barack Obama's endorsement of Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: was a video of a phone call.
Speaker 3: After all that, I just I really can't. And I
Speaker 3: think that's what was our.
Speaker 5: Issue with that, that it was a phone call? What
Speaker 5: was your issue with it?
Speaker 1: Like, what the issue was that the endorsement was a
Speaker 1: video that they recorded on Wednesday and dropped Friday, and
Speaker 1: it was a phone call of the two of them talking.
Speaker 1: I think that Barack Obama should have rolled his sleeves
Speaker 1: up and showed his ass up at a rally. That's
Speaker 1: what I think should happen, especially after what went down.
Speaker 1: You all know how Barack Obama looks when he's yes,
Speaker 1: we can and hope and changing things right, Like, we
Speaker 1: know how he shows up. And I'm just saying, he
Speaker 1: just did it a very high donor dollar fundraiser for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden just a month or maybe it was six weeks,
Speaker 1: six weeks prior, right where they showed up together. So
Speaker 1: why can't you show up for this woman.
Speaker 3: Who now needs you. I just I think that it's
Speaker 3: very up.
Speaker 5: We will speaking at the d NC on on Monday night.
Speaker 5: We will be broadcasting live on YouTube, so when we
Speaker 5: talk about it, we'll we'll anticipate his comments, but we'll
Speaker 5: be reviewing his comments on Tuesday.
Speaker 4: So maybe I'm sure it will be an unmitigated uplifting
Speaker 4: and soul field endorsement of Kamala Harris, But that by
Speaker 4: itself doesn't erase what has happened within our party. And
Speaker 4: you don't need sources, Angela to know. You can go
Speaker 4: right to the printed papers. You see exactly some of
Speaker 4: the gamesmanship that was being played.
Speaker 3: If he could wait to bring up this talk about it,
Speaker 3: brought it up right.
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on the way as president former
Speaker 5: President Obama, what are your thoughts on how he showed
Speaker 5: up in this election cycle when it comes to President
Speaker 5: elect Kamala Harris so far?
Speaker 4: Well, I'll just say I read this piece yesterday from
Speaker 4: The Intelligencer. It was I think it also reposted in
Speaker 4: New York Magazine, a long form piece, probably a fifteen
Speaker 4: minute read or so, that took a hatchet to Joe
Speaker 4: Biden's record to took issue with Kamala Harris describing the
Speaker 4: work of their administration as having been Joe Biden's legacy.
Speaker 4: She says of accomplishments over the past three years is
Speaker 4: unmatched in modern history, and the author of the piece
Speaker 4: goes on to basically obliterate that comment. It goes further
Speaker 4: to say that Joe Biden's record doesn't even stand in
Speaker 4: the same sentence of achievement as Barack Obama's. It uses
Speaker 4: the fact that Barack Obama is a twice elected president
Speaker 4: and appealed to quote moderates and ran up the center
Speaker 4: as having been a campaign strategy thrown off by Joe Biden,
Speaker 4: and if Kamala Harris wants to be elected president, that
Speaker 4: she needs to re embrace the Obama strategy to winning.
Speaker 4: Her choice of vice president doesn't suggest that she is
Speaker 4: prepared to follow that model. It was irritating to me
Speaker 4: because it basically served as a foil Joe Biden and
Speaker 4: his service to Obama as his vice president unflinchingly in
Speaker 4: service to the president, that his record would then be
Speaker 4: turned and then used as a foil to redefine and
Speaker 4: uplift Obama's legacy as president. There's nobody in America right
Speaker 4: now looking for a long form written piece about setting
Speaker 4: Obama's record and historical context. Why because history serves as
Speaker 4: the ultimate mitigator of.
Speaker 5: That President Obama participating in.
Speaker 4: This or no what I'm saying. I bring this up,
Speaker 4: y'all because those of us in politics know that pieces
Speaker 4: like this don't just show up off the shelf from
Speaker 4: nowhere they are sourced. That it feels extremely personal. The
Speaker 4: attacks against Biden and the quote unquote advice toward Harris
Speaker 4: around how she can win feels feels to me like
Speaker 4: a smack, and the fact that it goes to such
Speaker 4: great lengths to diminish the achievements of the administration, going
Speaker 4: even so far as to say that the reason why
Speaker 4: it isn't transformative is because policy in the next administration
Speaker 4: could simply reshift and change what Biden and Harris put
Speaker 4: into place, whereas in Obama's case, many attempts to change
Speaker 4: it have been made and none have been successful, which
Speaker 4: then makes him transformative, but doesn't make but the same
Speaker 4: could have been true, right, The same is true. They're
Speaker 4: all legislative. It can easily be followed up by a
Speaker 4: ratchet Congress and a ratchet administration and a ratchet court
Speaker 4: who undermines all of it. Any of these.
Speaker 3: Were undermined to it that, you know, no doubt, There's.
Speaker 4: No doubt about it. I don't I don't want to
Speaker 4: enter the argument of whether Obama had a trans performational
Speaker 4: administration versus Biden. I'm simply saying this debate is unnecessary.
Speaker 4: This piece should never have come out, certainly not in
Speaker 4: this timing, especially when all the headlines are really on
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris. Her audience sizes, her crowd sizes, and what
Speaker 4: she now has the opportunity to do as a historic
Speaker 4: when should she clinch the nomination? And so I can
Speaker 4: imagine that if you thought that you might be the
Speaker 4: only in a generation to ever have had such a
Speaker 4: historic distinction, that it might feel some sort of way.
Speaker 4: Right now, I don't know that for a fact, but
Speaker 4: it might feel some kind of way.
Speaker 1: I mean, we got discerned that I like to say,
Speaker 1: the black woman is the holy goot.
Speaker 4: So y'all got it in the spirit run. So all
Speaker 4: I'm saying is clear, it feels, it feels, it feels
Speaker 4: like a setup, and I'm glad that a lot of
Speaker 4: mainstream has not focused on it because I think it
Speaker 4: could be divisive and and greater public. But these democratic
Speaker 4: leaders that we have named checked so far to this
Speaker 4: point in our conversation are are are, in my opinion,
Speaker 4: the type of friends you don't want to carry into
Speaker 4: a bunker.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that might be true.
Speaker 1: But speaking of setups, before we get into one that
Speaker 1: happen to fam you, why don't we take a listener
Speaker 1: question and we're gonna go right into that.
Speaker 8: There it is, Hey, Native Lampard, fam My question is
Speaker 8: after watching everything in these last few weeks with Donald
Speaker 8: Trump and Kamala, I could kind of see him doing
Speaker 8: one or two things. One being so irrigant that there's
Speaker 8: no possible way and thinking that there's no possible way
Speaker 8: that Kamala could beat him in the election, and then
Speaker 8: two throwing a temper attenson because things are not going
Speaker 8: the way that he feels they should go.
Speaker 3: She's up and.
Speaker 8: In a lot of the polls, and then her crowds
Speaker 8: are bigger at these rallies. So I could also see
Speaker 8: him throwing a temperatanship and saying, I don't want to
Speaker 8: play anyone.
Speaker 3: I quit, I'm done. But I didn't quit. I'm quitting.
Speaker 3: I don't want to play, Like what would the GOP do?
Speaker 8: I know Trump has a lot on the line, especially
Speaker 8: with all the cases that he has a givest him,
Speaker 8: But what if he was to say I quit so
Speaker 8: close to the election?
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm. It's in true of that. I mean, I
Speaker 4: think it's it's good forecasting. And by the way, we
Speaker 4: love in that democratic blue that you're sporting. But but
Speaker 4: the truth is is this man's pride cannot a allow
Speaker 4: him to step The reason why he has been in swivels,
Speaker 4: his head on a swivel for the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: Is because he is in complete and total astonishment that
Speaker 4: a man, that a human, that a white man, could
Speaker 4: have the seat of power of the world at his
Speaker 4: fingertips and choose to walk away. He's it would never
Speaker 4: have entered into Donald Trump's mind to if it was
Speaker 4: argued for the sake of the country step back now,
Speaker 4: he will step back. This's just it is inconceivable. And
Speaker 4: so for furthermore, to just add to it the cases
Speaker 4: that you mentioned that he has on the line. That
Speaker 4: is his life, that is his future. And right now
Speaker 4: I'm convinced that this race for president has everything to
Speaker 4: do about staying out of jail and very little to
Speaker 4: do with his promise for the future of the country.
Speaker 4: In fact, he hadn't even made any promises for it.
Speaker 4: He's left that the Project twenty twenty five. He can't
Speaker 4: even muster what it requires to set a vision to
Speaker 4: save himself so mired in it. And then finally I
Speaker 4: would just say, this man has suggested that cammalist crowd
Speaker 4: sizes have been you know, AI artificial intelligence influence, that
Speaker 4: the audiences weren't really there, y'all. The man is a
Speaker 4: Meglamniaki is an egotist, He's a satist. As far as
Speaker 4: I can, I'm concerned, but he ain't stupid. He is
Speaker 4: attempting to plot in the minds of his followers, his supporters,
Speaker 4: to suspend with the belief of what they see of
Speaker 4: their own eyes and believe me only. And this is
Speaker 4: the road to authoritarianism. That even if they don't subscribe
Speaker 4: to his belief, maybe they throw off a belief in
Speaker 4: any set of facts. And that means when it comes
Speaker 4: to November and that bitch loses, he's gonna say again
Speaker 4: that he didn't lose, that it was stolen, and he
Speaker 4: will have I think, an even more dangerous, redd up
Speaker 4: group of psycho who are prepared to burn this country
Speaker 4: to the ground before they let a black woman assume
Speaker 4: the helm of it. I think, I think all of
Speaker 4: this is up tofuge, but preparation for what he ultimately
Speaker 4: wants to do, which is to election deny and suggests
Speaker 4: that something ain't right, it has been stolen. That's what
Speaker 4: I think. Ultimately, this is.
Speaker 1: Our producers have something they want us to hear that
Speaker 1: we have not heard yet so it's a little surprise.
Speaker 3: Let's roll that.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm from Tosa, Bahoma, black Wild Street, but I'm
Speaker 7: fusive that celebrates a great event where a lot of
Speaker 7: us came together and be what we were supposed to
Speaker 7: go honey, and we're gonna do this every year. Now.
Speaker 1: The Native Land podcast calls this August tenth.
Speaker 3: What do you think about that? I think it's amazing.
Speaker 3: I think it's amazing. We do what we supposed to do,
Speaker 3: we get, we get. Yeah, let me.
Speaker 5: What if the T shirt saying I'm going to I
Speaker 5: don't see the T shirt.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but if it's holden chair, let me
Speaker 1: tell you so August teenth, as y'all know, we've talked
Speaker 1: about agnauseium.
Speaker 3: Tip brought it up.
Speaker 1: Of course, that is what happened in Montgomery, and I
Speaker 1: will just I will just say that we always encourage
Speaker 1: a folding chair, whether it needs to be used as
Speaker 1: a weapon or as your seat at the table. As
Speaker 1: Shirley Chisholm has influenced us. So with that and Shirley's legacy,
Speaker 1: we shall go to break hello.
Speaker 3: All right, So I have been.
Speaker 1: Really traumatized by as an honorary rattler what is happening
Speaker 1: at Florida A and m Ronda Santis.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's trying to take the thing down.
Speaker 1: Of course, recently, Timothy Beard was appointed as interim president.
Speaker 1: I have never in my black life I sit on
Speaker 1: a board. I sit on the Wilverforce University board. I've
Speaker 1: never heard of an interim president sending any communication to
Speaker 1: twenty plus folks in leadership at a school requesting their resignations.
Speaker 3: We understand what happened school literally right, that's thought. It's
Speaker 3: two weeks before either way.
Speaker 1: Oh back next week, So one week before school starts,
Speaker 1: asking everybody to resign, think about registration, think about financial aid,
Speaker 1: think about housing, think about everything.
Speaker 3: That has to happen to make a school function.
Speaker 1: Right before the fall semester begins, new kids coming on,
Speaker 1: like you have no idea, Like who is this guy, Andrew?
Speaker 3: Who is Timothy beer Man?
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you. And the truth is is I
Speaker 4: looked at his resume when he was appointed, and it
Speaker 4: looks like there would have been some overlap between my
Speaker 4: time at Famine and possibly when he was there. But
Speaker 4: then he took some time away, became a president of
Speaker 4: a community college and has come to us from a
Speaker 4: community college by the selection of the board of trustees,
Speaker 4: all appointees practically of the governor Ron de Santists, who's
Speaker 4: taken really zero interest in Florida and m University up
Speaker 4: to this point. I wish we could return to that
Speaker 4: status quo of zero interests, because it's better than his interests.
Speaker 4: Because it has been proven over time when governors of
Speaker 4: this state taken interest in fam you, it is never
Speaker 4: to our benefit. We end up with the short short
Speaker 4: end of the stick. Every single time this man has
Speaker 4: been on the job one week sent a letter a
Speaker 4: day well a day ago, two days ago, saying I
Speaker 4: need everybody send me all your resignations, effective immediately, and
Speaker 4: you have until tomorrow. Here, by the way, as a
Speaker 4: form to expedite the matter, that you could just sign
Speaker 4: and I'll accept it and we'll keep moving on. These
Speaker 4: are individuals who sit at the helm of the university.
Speaker 4: It's strategic direction, but also it's day to day management leadership,
Speaker 4: upkeep and decision making and advisory role to the president.
Speaker 4: And I just wonder how a week on the job
Speaker 4: you know who to get rid of and who not
Speaker 4: to get rid of of an entire university's leadership structure,
Speaker 4: and then who tolerates what member of the board of
Speaker 4: trustees tolerates that kind of nonsensical move Right, If your
Speaker 4: critique of the previous president was that he didn't pay
Speaker 4: enough attention to the detail on a donation, you don't
Speaker 4: answer that with ridiculousness, which is the best best description
Speaker 4: I can give to what we're experiencing here, where a
Speaker 4: week on the job, the man gets rid of all
Speaker 4: the leadership. It's safe or except for a few that
Speaker 4: he may decide to reject their resignations. And I've heard
Speaker 4: people say this before. Other presidents have come in and
Speaker 4: accepted the resignations of the senior leadership. Yes, when they
Speaker 4: are made permanent president of the university, they come in
Speaker 4: just as when a new administration is elected in Washington,
Speaker 4: they have months to plan for their incoming administration. They
Speaker 4: accept the resignations of the previous ones, and they appoint
Speaker 4: their new administrations. But you have no no experience as
Speaker 4: the president of the university here at FAMU, You've got
Speaker 4: no experience with these individuals enough to know who's additive
Speaker 4: and who's subtractive to the university mission in its course.
Speaker 4: And also who will be devastated at the end of
Speaker 4: the day. If you are a parent dropping your kid
Speaker 4: off on the highest of seven heels sometime this weekend
Speaker 4: or early next week, what confidence do you have that
Speaker 4: the institution is going to be of service to your
Speaker 4: child when the entire leaders structure has come undone. I
Speaker 4: will say this, Angela and Tiffany, I am a former
Speaker 4: member of the board of Trustees. I am a former
Speaker 4: student body president at Florida A and M University alumni,
Speaker 4: lifetime member, and a giver to my institution. They have
Speaker 4: to answer for this, and I believe that there's no
Speaker 4: other reason for this action other than that powers on
Speaker 4: high have given guidance and direction for this man to execute.
Speaker 4: And that is exactly what he is doing, not on
Speaker 4: the reliance of his own intelligence, leadership, and guidance. Because
Speaker 4: he's right now is supposed to be a steady hand.
Speaker 4: That's what interims do. They steady the ship. This ain't
Speaker 4: steadying the ship. You're trying to burn it down.
Speaker 1: And the one flag that I wanted to offer to
Speaker 1: is he does say in the letter that was dated
Speaker 1: the twelfth, he requested everyone's resignation by the thirteenth so
Speaker 1: literally one day. He says that this is in consultation
Speaker 1: with the board of trustees, the past university president, and
Speaker 1: from my observations, I have concluded that a change in
Speaker 1: our senior leadership team is necessary to move forward more effectively.
Speaker 1: What's interesting is the last president in called for this.
Speaker 1: I'd be fascinated to hear or President Roberts.
Speaker 4: He throws him one of the bus and indicts him
Speaker 4: in this letter, this wide sweeping decision that he decides
Speaker 4: to make. And we haven't heard from Larry Robinson on
Speaker 4: the letter's going back to his teaching job now at
Speaker 4: the institution. But I also in here because I am
Speaker 4: optimistic about the future of my institution, and that is
Speaker 4: I know that the foundation is solid, which means the
Speaker 4: professors are going to show up. The School of Business
Speaker 4: is going to continue to produce world class future business
Speaker 4: leaders and business owners and entrepreneur into the world. We're
Speaker 4: still going to be the largest contributor to the middle
Speaker 4: class and the and the growing uh middle class of
Speaker 4: the state of Florida, amongst black folks. We are going
Speaker 4: to continue to produce great lawyers, nurses, doctor pH ds.
Speaker 4: As the number one producer of of of of of
Speaker 4: of masterial and doctoral degree holders in the black community.
Speaker 4: Family is going to continue to live up to its mission.
Speaker 4: It's just highly unfortunate that this bill rode bump of
Speaker 4: a man put in place by this governor and his
Speaker 4: sick offence on the board have the ability to fiddle
Speaker 4: with our greater with our greater mission and task and destiny.
Speaker 4: But we're gonna keep doing what we do because that's
Speaker 4: what we do. We're rattlers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think it's HBCUs have such credo. President
Speaker 5: Elect Harris is an HBCU alum, Howard alum. She was
Speaker 5: on campus this week welcoming the students to Howard University.
Speaker 5: I think of all the prominent graduates of FAMU. I
Speaker 5: work with Will Packer, of course, who's films of grossed
Speaker 5: over a billion dollars worldwide. I've been told I haven't
Speaker 5: seen this information myself, so forgive me. This is anecdotal.
Speaker 5: But my friends, who have a lot of friends who
Speaker 5: are more house alum, they said that the applications they're
Speaker 5: getting like thirty plus thousand applications for three hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty spots with their freshman class, Howard is getting like
Speaker 5: fifty thousand plus applications for like twenty five hundred spots,
Speaker 5: and so these are highly competitive institutions. You know, there
Speaker 5: there are are ivy leagues, so to speak, and so
Speaker 5: we have to hold them dear. And I know there
Speaker 5: is a challenge with alumni of HBCUs not holding on
Speaker 5: and not you know, giving back and contributing. So I
Speaker 5: think when we hear about stories like this, it's a
Speaker 5: rallying call for us to have more of a presence,
Speaker 5: be you know, boosters if we're able. There are many
Speaker 5: reasons why we can. A lot of times are the
Speaker 5: first people in our families to attend college. The wealth gap,
Speaker 5: so we don't have the same uh financial opportunities as
Speaker 5: you know, a predominantly white student based at pw I
Speaker 5: like a Harvard has a multi billion dollar fund. So
Speaker 5: it's it's it's harder for us. I hope that I
Speaker 5: want to see FAM you survive this. My former executive
Speaker 5: producer at MSNBC, Denise Hendricks is FAM you grad obviously, Andrew,
Speaker 5: like good people come out of FAM. And I don't
Speaker 5: know who's more obnoxious an HU graduate or a FAM
Speaker 5: you graduated well, because I already know I'm like, who
Speaker 5: is going to be the most I'll leave family alone,
Speaker 5: but they we be well when vice president becomes President Harris,
Speaker 5: I'm like, who's gonna be more obnoxious there the a
Speaker 5: kas or Hu graduates. I don't know because I'm the
Speaker 5: It's hard to tell. It's ridiculous. They're gonna be trying
Speaker 5: to stroll on the White House lawn, press conferences on
Speaker 5: a you know, it's gonna be a whole thing. So
Speaker 5: I just I love and have such love for HBCUs
Speaker 5: and I hate to see, you know, it does sound
Speaker 5: like this is an intentional damaging move to the school.
Speaker 5: And I'm happy that Angela and Andrew wanted to spotlight
Speaker 5: this because it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to just remind people the reason this
Speaker 1: whole thing started was this fraudulent donation that came from
Speaker 1: this man, Gregory Jurami or Garami, who none of us
Speaker 1: have heard of, who was half masked at the at
Speaker 1: the yeah, at the at the graduation. So we are
Speaker 1: praying for fam Honore Ratler here and that.
Speaker 4: Forever.
Speaker 1: And that's how we'll stand ten toes down with tiff
Speaker 1: On the rest of the HBCUs and black people everywhere
Speaker 1: all powered to the people. We're gonna go to this
Speaker 1: next top think Andrew hit us with that lou LAC
Speaker 1: Rainbow coalition.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, y'all, we'll get and for the benefit of the listeners,
Speaker 4: we'll maybe dive even deeper on this whole Black Brown
Speaker 4: coalition building in the future. But I did want to
Speaker 4: just quickly acknowledge, and we've known this for a long time,
Speaker 4: Latino's being the as of twenty twenty, the second largest
Speaker 4: first largest minority group in the country, second to only
Speaker 4: non Hispanic whites in the country. But y'all, the reason
Speaker 4: why this is also a particular import one lu LAC
Speaker 4: organization that is now almost one hundred years old. It's
Speaker 4: the League of United Latin American Citizens, is what LULAC
Speaker 4: stands for. For those of us who know, if you're
Speaker 4: in the black community, the NAACP is the equivalent within
Speaker 4: the Hispanic community of a LULAC per se. It is
Speaker 4: also regarded as sort of being on the more conservative
Speaker 4: end of of Latino national organizing groups, and they have
Speaker 4: avoided endorsing presidents, but they feel that the moment is
Speaker 4: so dire that the rhetoric and the promise coming out
Speaker 4: of not only Project twenty twenty five, but Donald Trump himself,
Speaker 4: only supported further by his maniatic vice president. Homeboy, somebody
Speaker 4: can give me his name Vance JD James Vance, James
Speaker 4: David Vance. Okay, did he get that before he'll be
Speaker 4: theology or did that?
Speaker 5: I'm I joy started to call him James David, so
Speaker 5: now I will only refer to him.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: It definitely sounds like a former general, So it definitely
Speaker 4: sounds like a former Confederate general's name. But whichever, Harris
Speaker 4: and Walts are the recipients of this important endorsement, and
Speaker 4: it started me thinking, y'all that I have long been
Speaker 4: a bit of a contrarian on the forecasting of black
Speaker 4: and around and the future of what a political alliance
Speaker 4: could look like for America's growing black and brown community,
Speaker 4: which will buy twenty forty five I believe overtake non
Speaker 4: Hispanic whites in America as the largest majority in the country.
Speaker 4: I have not always assumed that to equal political alliance
Speaker 4: leading to political and public policy solutions that meet the
Speaker 4: needs of both communities or really all communities, that being
Speaker 4: a shared I don't know goal of this browning of
Speaker 4: America I accept what the demographics are telling us. I
Speaker 4: don't necessarily know that I've drawn a complete and total
Speaker 4: conclusion around what the future of politics and the future
Speaker 4: of alliance building and shared Vision, Mission Goal achievement means
Speaker 4: for this browning of America. And I'm curious to know
Speaker 4: whether or not y'all had thoughts about whether one automatically
Speaker 4: equals the other.
Speaker 5: Clearly it does not. But Andrew, you know, you and
Speaker 5: I we've talked about this, and I think you raised
Speaker 5: a really good point. One with the Latino community. You
Speaker 5: talked about the size of their size in this country,
Speaker 5: and I remember the year they eclipsed Black voters as
Speaker 5: the largest number of eligible voters. Not key, I punctuate
Speaker 5: that word eligible because they're still not the largest number
Speaker 5: of registered voters. Black people remain the largest community of
Speaker 5: color when it comes to registered voters. So then you
Speaker 5: have to ask a question, why aren't more of people
Speaker 5: in the Latino community registered and participating in the process.
Speaker 5: I also think in the Latino community, And as I
Speaker 5: speak about this, I want to be clear I am
Speaker 5: speaking about this as a guest observing the culture, not
Speaker 5: a member of the culture, because I know I would
Speaker 5: have an issue with people who didn't look like me
Speaker 5: talking about black people, especially black voters. With the Latino community,
Speaker 5: it's very disaggregated. You know, people are from different countries
Speaker 5: of origin and which have their own different experiences, and
Speaker 5: even within those countries, there are Afro Latinos who have
Speaker 5: a very different experience from white presenting Latinos in those countries.
Speaker 5: So they don't move as a solid block. You know,
Speaker 5: like most people, they're not a homogeneous group of people.
Speaker 5: So it is really interesting to see lu LAC come
Speaker 5: out and take this bold stance of endorsing Vice President Harris.
Speaker 5: I'd like to see that. I think it's part of
Speaker 5: coalition building. I think this is a point that Angela
Speaker 5: has been making with her encouragement about going on Fox
Speaker 5: News and things like that, go and meet people where
Speaker 5: they are. There is a significant amount of people in
Speaker 5: the Latino community turning eighteen every year, so they're the
Speaker 5: coalitions sense to grow. There are some conservative beliefs while
Speaker 5: the media was paying so much attention to black men,
Speaker 5: this disproven myth that they were voting for Trump. The
Speaker 5: Latino community, actually the Latino men, the data actually does
Speaker 5: support that they're more and increasingly seduct seduced by the
Speaker 5: Republican Party and becoming Republican voters. So that requires some
Speaker 5: I think we should be paying attention and have curiosity
Speaker 5: about our fellow countrymen. Asian American Pacific Islanders are the
Speaker 5: fastest growing demographic in this country. Also a community that's
Speaker 5: very disaggregated. So when we see this data, this data
Speaker 5: is very rarely disaggregated. Where you see well is as
Speaker 5: a South Asian person, where are they from? So I
Speaker 5: think as we approach a time where there's no racial
Speaker 5: majority in America, we are going to have to shed
Speaker 5: some of our sinophobia, have more curiosity about our fellow countrymen,
Speaker 5: and also learn to Andrew. I'm stealing this and I
Speaker 5: don't want people to give me credit because this is Andrews,
Speaker 5: but not letting it capture our imagination. You know, Andrew,
Speaker 5: You've made the point about how the whiteness and the
Speaker 5: white structure of America we can't even imagine what a
Speaker 5: democracy that served us look like. And even now in
Speaker 5: our voting, it's like, who are white people going to
Speaker 5: vote for? Because that's where we'll put our vote. We
Speaker 5: have to start leading with conviction. We don't always have
Speaker 5: to do that, and so I think this is a
Speaker 5: good practice of us doing that. The Republicans for Kamala
Speaker 5: Harris had sixty thousand people on their call. I don't
Speaker 5: know how much money they raise, maybe you guys do.
Speaker 5: But this is what coalition building looks like. And I
Speaker 5: think it's why we are seeing Donald Trump act like
Speaker 5: a cornered wounded animal flailing about because I believe in
Speaker 5: my spirit it is written, it is written. She will
Speaker 5: be president Kamala Harris. We will be at inauguration. Everything
Speaker 5: in DC is already sold out. This is a train
Speaker 5: that has left the station. It cannot be stopped. It
Speaker 5: is not a revolution, it is evolution. And you either
Speaker 5: get on board here or you will be fossilized and
Speaker 5: left behind.
Speaker 4: That's prophecy. Now, y'all just got to show up and
Speaker 4: make it real.
Speaker 3: Right, That's it.
Speaker 1: And so with that, speaking of making it real and
Speaker 1: not having our imagination captured, many of you all have
Speaker 1: manifested and prayed for a moreover present Native lampod and
Speaker 1: we will be streaming live Monday through Thursday next week
Speaker 1: at the Democratic National Convention.
Speaker 3: Have some amazing guests.
Speaker 1: We have some guest co hosts that we are gonna
Speaker 1: roll out this week that are really really exciting. And
Speaker 1: I know that Lolo on our side dropped our little graphic.
Speaker 1: Our graphics are fly. I mean, things are gonna be
Speaker 1: really awesome. I'm still gonna be in uniform. But y'all
Speaker 1: on Thursday, we're wearing white. Even if you're not at
Speaker 1: the DNC next week, make sure you are wearing your white.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get my chucks some copying Britney.
Speaker 1: We didn't talk about Britney three times a day, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear my Chucks on Thursday.
Speaker 3: With a white right now.
Speaker 4: This suffrages.
Speaker 1: You gotta get something. It's too bad we don't wear
Speaker 1: the same shoe size. So you know how to order
Speaker 1: some extra parier just in case.
Speaker 4: I'm like, but she she only orders some because the
Speaker 4: last one in case they get scuffed. You know.
Speaker 1: No, I ordered some in case they don't come through.
Speaker 1: But Andrew gets some Chucks and we're wearing dinner. You're
Speaker 1: gonna wear dinner. You know, Rebel the podcast dress.
Speaker 5: But it bunches. It bunches up on me though, so
Speaker 5: we'll see how it looks.

Speaker 4: Andrew.
Speaker 1: You know that you and I are normally gonna be
Speaker 1: in uniform two it is normally the rebel. The podcast
Speaker 1: would be mad. They'd be like, why is Tip not

Speaker 5: love those little shorts that you wore. I didn't want
Speaker 5: to wear them at first, but they were adorable.
