00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 7: Okay, I can say, well, we've been up to. We

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 7: did go to fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, and

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 7: Angela encouraged me to wear a ponytail, which I've never done.

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 7: I felt like my forehead is too big for that.

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 7: And now that I've born this ponytail, I will be

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 7: wearing it in perpetuity.

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: So I'm loving it.

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: Show everybody, Yeah, with my hair back and forth.

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: What y'all think out there in pod?

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 7: In pod world, Andrew's been making fun of me, talking

00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 7: about somebody please get to get that horse some water.

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: Listen.

42
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: It was out of respect for all animal life. Yeah,

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, all mammal life, all mammal life.

44
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, we've been kicking it.

45
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: We've been kicking it, Angela.

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: We went to Sergio Hudson's fashion show Amazing in particular,

47
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: and that's our time where we all reconnect.

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 6: It's our you know, our little girl time, and we love.

49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: It all right, So if people want to know what

50
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: y'all were.

51
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 6: Wearing Hudson.

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: Sergio down to the socks. We were searching.

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 6: Down to the socks and you had no socks.

00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,240

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 5: You know what.

57
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: The last time we were together, you said to me, uh, Tiffany,

58
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: that the rattlers have been looking for me. So I

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: decided to let y'all find me. I'm right here, baby,

60
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: this family way representing my orange and green go, Rattlers go,

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: rattlers go, rattless, strike, strike, strike again. I am a

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: proud of them. It's the Florida and M University and

63
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Farmer Step president on the books. Yeses have been a

64
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm a lifetime member of the alumni Association. And if

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: you're not stop repping until you get paid up. Y'all

66
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: paid up? Okay, Andrew?

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: I love that you said, let me tell you about

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 4: this black history I made for black history, right.

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 7: And I mean, just a really quick point about what

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 7: you're saying about pay up because a lot of HBCU's alumni.

71
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 7: You asked did you have a nurturing environment there? And

72
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 7: people say yes, and then it's like do you give

73
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 7: back to your school? And then a lot of people

74
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 7: say no, so I love that point, Andrew, thank.

75
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: You, Tiffany. Folks got dead. I get it, but I'm

76
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: just saying every little bit okay. On this episode, we're

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: going to discuss Biden is old. The Special Prosecutors Report

78
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: put the president's cognitive abilities back at the center of

79
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election conversation. Democrat Tom Suazi wins

80
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: George Santos's former congressional seat Long Island, New York. Should

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: anyone anyone be joking about George Floyd's death? And it's

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: almost time for the All Star Game, which you all

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: know you can't resist. Our friend Tiffany Cross is brilliant

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: sports commentary. We also get to the viewers questions, our

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: favorite part of the pod. Stay tuned, everybody, and welcome home,

86
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: Iiff Angela. I don't really know where to begin except

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: where we have to began. But in the meantime between time, y'all,

88
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: Trump then lost at the DC Appeals Court. He wants

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court to issue a ritisseurciar rory to bring

90
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: the case to the US Supreme Court to do what

91
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: stop the January sixth trial. He wants to put that

92
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: on postponement. Anybody have an answer as to why Tiffany

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: I don't.

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: I honestly, I got it. Just be honest.

95
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 7: I'm e with talking about Trump. I know he's the

96
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 7: front runner of the Republican Party and we have to

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 7: talk about it. But honestly, one thing Andrew that frustrates

98
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 7: me is people talk about Biden's age and compare it

99
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 7: like it has like like Trump is not the existential

100
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 7: threat not just to America but the globe. So to me,

101
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 7: all the indictments and I can't even keep up with

102
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 7: all Trump's challenges. I've always often said trying to cover

103
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 7: him and all his scandals is like trying to catch confetti.

104
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 7: And when I hear people make this false equivalence like, oh,

105
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 7: but Biden's old, It's like, yeah, Trump is old, and

106
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 7: he's crooked, and he's a trader, and he is an

107
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 7: existential threat to the globe. So I kind of want

108
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 7: to address some of these issues that people seem to

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 7: have with Biden's age, which I do think is a

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 7: legitimate concern, but it pales in comparison to the concern

111
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 7: from the other front runner, in my opinion.

112
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: So that's it. Oh, Angela, you but you're already there.

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: You want to take it from there.

114
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 6: Sure, I was just gonna say tip to your point.

115
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 4: Eighty six percent of Americans agree that Joe Biden is

116
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 4: too old in their concern, and then sixty two percent

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: of Americans agree that Trump is too old in their concern.

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: So therefore a majority of Americans think that Joe Biden

119
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: and Donald Trump are too old for the presidency.

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 6: According to this latest ABC News ipsos.

121
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: Paul, I think that what we now have before us

122
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: is there's an elephant in the room, no pun intended,

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: because of Special Prosecutor Robert Hur's recent report where he

124
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: quotes says he's a well meaning elderly man with a

125
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: poor memory. And I think that what we really see

126
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: as someone who took a flamethrower approach. Merrick Garland appointed

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: a Trump appointee to be special prosecutor, probably in the

128
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: name of fairness because somebody asked him to do that.

129
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: I'm asking for his resignation at this point. But what

130
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: he also indicates very clearly is that Joe Biden cannot

131
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 4: be charged in this classified document's case. And it's not

132
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: because he was a well meaning elderly man with a

133
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: poor memory. It's because there was no case that they

134
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: could prosecute. We all know when they got a little

135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 4: bit of something, they're going to go forward with it

136
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: because they couldn't.

137
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 6: I think that speaks volumes.

138
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: So on this point again, to just encapsulate this around age,

139
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: Joe Biden is the oldest sitting president at this time

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: at eighty one. Donald Trump, by the time, if he

141
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: were elected in the fall, would then be tied with

142
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan at seventy eight years old for being the

143
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: second oldest. I think that we should always be taken

144
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 4: into consideration age, mental ability, and fitness. For attorneys, we

145
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: have to do character fitness. We don't have to do

146
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: psychological evaluations. But I think that is fair game for

147
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: the president of the United States. And furthermore, when you

148
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: look at corporate boards, seventy two you have to be

149
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: seventy two or under for most corporate boards, for CEOs

150
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: you have to be sixty five and under. These are

151
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: fair points. But again, when to Test's point, there's an

152
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: existential crisis, democracy is on the line. Would you rather

153
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: take an old full or a fascist?

154
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 7: I take the old full, yeah, And I don't think

155
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 7: a lot of people are paying attention to the minutia

156
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 7: of politics, right. I think people are like the whole

157
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 7: thing with Biden in the campaign documents. Unless you're like

158
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 7: sitting in the echo chambers watching cable news twenty four

159
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 7: hours a day, people aren't talking about that, you know,

160
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 7: like people here Biden's I'm old and Trump is crooked,

161
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 7: Like those are the two people have a tendency to

162
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 7: read the headlines and not the story. I think if

163
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 7: you look at these two candidates and see what the

164
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 7: implications are from each of them. When Trump was in office,

165
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 7: his own staff consistently talked about invoking or evoking the

166
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 7: twenty fifth Amendment. It was not the media calling for that,

167
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 7: it was his staff. No, you have not heard anything

168
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 7: like that from Joe Biden's camp. And I'm not here

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 7: to be a spokesperson for Biden or an apologist for

170
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 7: the party. I think we have to acknowledge it's a

171
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 7: legitimate concern about his age. But you got two choices

172
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 7: right now, And so if you're thinking about I'm gonna

173
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 7: sit this out because I'm not excited about either candidate,

174
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 7: or if you're thinking you know that you're confused about

175
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 7: who to vote for because they're both old. I think

176
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 7: both of those are bad choices. And Andrew, you've said this,

177
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 7: you said, when you sit out, that is making a decision.

178
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: The decision.

179
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are your thoughts on how this, Andrew?

180
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 7: Because you've run for office so many times and you

181
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 7: know how much energy it takes and one yes, yes,

182
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 7: and you know what energy it takes. I mean, what

183
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 7: do you think about how this is going? There's not

184
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 7: going to be another like Joe. Biden is the he

185
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 7: is the soldier we taken to this war.

186
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: So what Yeah, And.

187
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 6: I've said at the convention, they could.

188
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think they could. Hopefully will be uneventful

189
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: at the convention. Wouldn't that be news? But I gotta

190
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: tell y'all, it baffles me that we are camped out

191
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: in this Biden age, you know, campfire, when Trump is

192
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: the maniac out there calling Nancy Pelosi by one of

193
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: his opponent's names. He's these rants. I know, we don't

194
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: listen as much as we used to him because now

195
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: the media has finally learned that the man is a

196
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: carnival you know, Barker and a carnival act himself. But

197
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: he's saying just the most outrageous things and frankly the

198
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: most dangerous things, uh, that could be coming out of

199
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: a former president of the United States and certainly someone

200
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: who hopes to be president of the United States. Again,

201
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: this is what I hope. I hope that all of

202
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: us sit down and take a very very very serious

203
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: look at they're both old. Dr let's take that out

204
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: the recipe. We got two choices, Option A, Option B.

205
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: Actually option A and option Z. If you want to

206
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: be close to the highest of alphabet, you know, the heavens,

207
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: stay with the a's Andrew Biden the one. No, just

208
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: just since short, we have to we have to mature

209
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: ourselves in this electoral process that when you have two candidates,

210
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: it's not about the perfect. The perfect it can't be

211
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: the enemy of the good. And in this case, we

212
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: have a good option in Joe Biden, and we've got

213
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: the most experienced of the candidates out there and somebody

214
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: who's not gonna quite frankly launch us into according to

215
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, world War two. But he missed that part

216
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: of history. Uh, Donald Trump would launch us into World

217
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: War three or certainly allow you know, sick of fans

218
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: of of of of Vladimir putin to take, you know,

219
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: to have their way, and he said as much. All

220
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying is age needs to be relegated to its

221
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: proper place. And in my opinion, it ain't nothing but

222
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: a number.

223
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: Can I say.

224
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 7: Saying something about that entry, because one I think we

225
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 7: have to acknowledge this is about Vice President Kamala Harris.

226
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 7: You know, people are we cannot have her a pulse

227
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 7: away from presidency because people are intimidated by the leadership

228
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 7: of black women and they would rather see this country

229
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 7: turn to ashes before they see somebody who looks like

230
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 7: me run it. And that's a really unfortunate mentality. But

231
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 7: I think to your point, Andrew, what you're referencing is

232
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 7: Donald Trump talked about countries who are not paying their

233
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 7: fair share into NATO he would not protect. This is

234
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 7: a huge for folks who don't.

235
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 3: Know what NATO is.

236
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 7: It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's an agreement

237
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 7: established after World War Two. It's hugely important. And for

238
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 7: him to say we will no longer protect you, that

239
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 7: was a huge deal ten years ago when he said this,

240
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 7: And now the Republican Party is falling in line saying yep,

241
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 7: we agree with that when he says, listen, Vladimir Putin,

242
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 7: you can do what you want when I'm in office,

243
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 7: because I'm gonna leave those countries out in the open

244
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 7: for you to annex, for you to do whatever you like.

245
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 7: I cannot stress what an existential threat that is to

246
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 7: the globe, not just domestic policies, but to the globe.

247
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 7: I'm kind of over Trump and all of this.

248
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: I feel you, and the only reason why, as you

249
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: all know, I mean, I don't have to convince you,

250
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: but certainly for our listeners who were so thankful for

251
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: It's important, as asinine as it feels, having to reflect

252
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump's comments, what he's saying, what he's not saying,

253
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: who he's meeting with, and how he's campaigning. We have

254
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: learned this much. This man says the quiet part out loud.

255
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: He means what he says, and we ought to take

256
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: him at his word. So we don't find ourselves over

257
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: the creek, over the barrel, you know, without a let

258
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: me just go here. Let's hear how the president's own

259
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: administration is now responding to these new claims around Biden's

260
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: age and fitness and so on and so forth.

261
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 4: It ain't that new, but the report is newer, right,

262
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: the reward is and unfortunately, Angela, the reason we're talking

263
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: about is because you've got now Democrats who are.

264
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Co signing these kinds of comments for either all alternati

265
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: an alternate agenda, or they really believe it. Let's hear

266
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: from a Press secretary, Jean Pierre.

267
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 8: Look, I got this question last week as well, and

268
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 8: I'm just going to say, what the what doctor O'Connor's

269
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 8: kind of a what he said to me about a

270
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 8: year ago when the report came out last year obviously

271
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 8: on his physical which is the president proves every day

272
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 8: how he operates, how he thinks, right by dealing with

273
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 8: word leaders, by making really difficult decisions on behalf of

274
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 8: the American people, whether it's domestic, whether it's national security,

275
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 8: and so he shows it every day on how he thinks,

276
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 8: how he operates. And so that is how the doctor

277
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 8: o'conter sees it, and that's how I'm going to leave it.

278
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: Well, the Press secretary took a very polite approach to

279
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: addressing this question. And what I meant by we've got

280
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: to mature ourselves as we approach elections. What I mean

281
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: is why your local mayor, school board member and commissioner

282
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: might be relied on to be at the city festival

283
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: and cut ribbons and do those kinds of things. Those

284
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: are just not my expectations anymore for a president of

285
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: the United States. I want them to know what they're

286
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: talking about them, I want what they're talking about. I

287
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: want them to be steeped in public policy. I want

288
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: them to have a heart for people and to be

289
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: clear in their compass around why it is every single

290
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: day they choose to get up and do the hardest

291
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: job on earth.

292
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: So far as I know, I see now we down

293
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: a different road, and I'm just gonna say that this

294
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: is exactly the problem. This is why people are starting

295
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: to see a closing gap between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

296
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: There does seem to be a callus side of Joe

297
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: Biden that's popping up.

298
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 6: Look at the response to Israel and Gaza.

299
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: You know, like I'm talking about ribbon.

300
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I'm not.

301
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: I'm never talking about ribbon cutting. I don't need you

302
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: to cut no ribbon. I need you to show up

303
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 4: for black people the way they showed up for you

304
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: in South Carolina. I need you to show up for

305
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: these kids who are dying every single day. I need

306
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: you to show up in our wages. I need you

307
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: to show up. There's all this talk about Donald Trump

308
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 4: and the Stimmies.

309
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 6: Joe Biden didn't want to sign the stimmies.

310
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: Show up on that show up when when black people

311
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: need relief, don't just claim credit for the black businesses

312
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: that were started under your administration. Show up and give

313
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: them some additional relief, some additional access to government contracts,

314
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: some additional says to party contracts, some advice.

315
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 6: I can keep going.

316
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying, at the end of the day, I don't

317
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: feel like he is demonstrating that he's Yes, he's different,

318
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 4: he's not a fascist. But your response to what is

319
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: happening in Gaza is callous. Your response to what is

320
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: happening at the border is callous. That is not okay.

321
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: You have to draw a wider gap between you and evil.

322
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: And it used to be that this big tent party

323
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: put people first. That is the way that it must be.

324
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I am not gung ho Biden right now.

325
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: What I was most excited about was Kamala telling the

326
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal last week that she was ready to

327
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: serve and there was no question about that. That's what

328
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: I'm most in response to his age. And I'm just saying, like,

329
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: I don't want us to get to the point where

330
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: we started being like, well, he's such a good man,

331
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 4: like I want him to be a good man on policy.

332
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: I don't need him to show up and know my

333
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: name and pat me on the back. I want to

334
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 4: see it in the policy.

335
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I don't see it right now, co sign.

336
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: But I just got to say this much, which is

337
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: I would rank him as among the most accomplished democratic

338
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: presidents in the history of the now. He he ain't

339
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: boastful like we have seen in the past. He can't

340
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: play no saxophone. There were a lot of you know,

341
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: just kind of old white men. I'm just saying, a

342
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: lot of white white old man tactics, you know, sort

343
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: of the vibes that you get from him. But I

344
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: can't tell y'all enough what that stimulus package you did

345
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: for everyday Americans. And I that it went, but but

346
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: we never had that before. It didn't exist under a

347
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: different administration. The closest we ever had before was Roosevelt,

348
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, from student aid and learned forgiveness to

349
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: the incentivized programs that exists at the federal level for

350
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: freaking first time home ownership, and on and on and

351
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: on childcare, the way in which they have.

352
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 6: So credit. But we're white people over like a college

353
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 6: kids are.

354
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 4: Dying, like you can get a child tax credit if

355
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: your kid's dead, Like, we just can't.

356
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 6: We can't implement policy.

357
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: This way, three Antela. But for you and everyone else

358
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: out there, two things can be true at once. He

359
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: can be wrong in his approach with regards to to

360
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: Israel and what's happening to the Palestinian people who deserve

361
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: their own state, and how dare be life? That true

362
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: just at the same time as his emphasis on trying

363
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: to make sure that the American people cannot just live

364
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: and survive, but they can thrive. And I believe that

365
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: that work is in his heart. I've seen it exhibited

366
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: in public policy. Now we just need those public policy

367
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: positions renewed. And he's got to get at it with

368
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: a more vigorous fight, both him and the Vice President

369
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: and Democrats on the Hill to deliver not just talk

370
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: about it, but be about it.

371
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will shout them out. On the unemployment rate, too.

372
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 4: The black unemployment rate is the lowest has been in history.

373
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 6: I want it.

374
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 4: I acknowledge where I've seen growth, but I'm just telling

375
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 4: you the other things are so it's blind shocked it can.

376
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 6: I just tiff I didn't cut you out five times inside, No, I'm.

377
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: About to cut all of us off because we have

378
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: gone over.

379
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 7: At the time, I was just going to say, you

380
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 7: brought up immigration and that was a big deal in

381
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 7: the special election here in New York, and I know

382
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 7: we wanted to talk about that.

383
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: No, Tiffany, you're right on it. Thank you for taking us. Well,

384
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: we want to go, which is to hear from our viewers,

385
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: which I hope you noticed in the past couple of episodes.

386
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: We've been trying to make sure that your voice is

387
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: not at the end, but is all throughout this podcast.

388
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be here without you, and we also wouldn't

389
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: be here without the sponsor. So we're gonna take a

390
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: quick record.

391
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: Be right back.

392
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: All right, we're back. So we promised you that that

393
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: you were questioned. Let's here.

394
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 9: My name is.

395
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 6: Tanisha Lyons Porter.

396
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 9: I live in Los Angeles, California, View Park, Wednesory Hills.

397
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 6: To be exact.

398
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 9: I have a question, so election time, local elections, propositions,

399
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 9: all of that stuff. How do you all do your

400
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 9: due diligence to research the judges and the board members

401
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 9: and the propositions Because California, I don't know about other states,

402
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 9: but it be confusing. And our family used to do

403
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 9: it as a group, but my dad passed away a

404
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 9: few years ago, my mom is gone, and we still

405
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 9: want to do it as a group, but.

406
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 6: It's overwhelming, and it's overwhelming.

407
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 9: So how do you all do your due diligence and

408
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 9: research for your local elections?

409
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: That's a perfect, perfect question and a good transition from

410
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: talking about the presidential now the congressional. Look, folks want

411
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: to talk about state and local. How do y'all make

412
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: your decisions? What do you do when you're vetting a

413
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: candidate or a policy position that may be on the ballot?

414
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: Tiffany wants you let us know?

415
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, first I want to say how much I

416
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 7: love this question, Andrew, And I'm actually really interested in

417
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 7: your response because you've run at a local level and

418
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 7: a state level, which is different than running at a

419
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 7: federal level, and I think you know understanding who's responsible

420
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 7: for what is so integral to our civic engagement in

421
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 7: the process. For me, I first want to make sure

422
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 7: I understand the exact issue, because the interesting thing about

423
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 7: this question asking at state and local level, this is

424
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 7: where voting blocks can fracture. That's why I don't like

425
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 7: terms like the black vote or the Latino vote, because

426
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 7: that some of these down ballot initiatives there are things

427
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 7: about you know how budgets are operated, or you know

428
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 7: where or how budgets are allocated. I should say, so

429
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 7: I try to look at it and make sure I'm

430
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 7: getting material and information from the source directly. All of

431
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 7: these candidates have a website. You can go there and

432
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 7: look and see how they feel about something. For people

433
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 7: who are curious about this, you'd be surprised if you're

434
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 7: somebody and somebody's running for a state rep. If you

435
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 7: can get twenty or thirty of your friends at your

436
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 7: house and you say, hey, we would like to invite

437
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 7: you to my home to hear exactly how you feel.

438
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 7: Reach out to them because that is precisely what they need.

439
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 7: They will show up at your home and answer questions

440
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 7: and engage with you, but make sure you're informed. I

441
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 7: will say, do not go off political ads. Political ads

442
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 7: are meant to do exactly that sway your opinion, and

443
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 7: it might not be accurate. It's meant to sway the

444
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 7: person's opinion to their liking, and sometimes people don't even

445
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 7: know that some of these ads are are funded by

446
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 7: extremists or right wing organizations. During the Super Bowl you

447
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 7: see a lot of religious ads, and when you start

448
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 7: digging to say, who's paying for this, we love Jesus Dad,

449
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 7: it is somebody who does not live their life according

450
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 7: to the principles of a good book.

451
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 3: I'm gonna assure you.

452
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 7: So I would say, go to the source and don't

453
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 7: be afraid to reach out to candadas directly and see

454
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 7: where your values align.

455
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: I love that.

456
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: I love that. What about you, Angela?

457
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 4: Well, one of the things that I still very much

458
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 4: do My parents and I fill out our ballots together

459
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 4: in Washington State, and I love doing that because it

460
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: turns into a little debate, and I think that you

461
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 4: guys can see that I didn't fall far from that.

462
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 4: So we've been doing that since I was a little

463
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 4: kid and I couldn't vote and I wanted to. I

464
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: definitely understand what she's saying about wanting to do that

465
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 4: as a family, and we will sit there and pull

466
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 4: up the positions. As Tip is talking about that voter

467
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: booklet that comes out with their positions, look them up,

468
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: fact check them, see if any of your homies endorse

469
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: some and the day in there like you can look

470
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 4: at it that way. But I think this question is

471
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: great because sometimes voting day is not just that, you know,

472
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 4: second Tuesday in November. There are also elections throughout the year.

473
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: There are primaries, and there are special elections of which

474
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 4: there was just one Andrew tell us about that just

475
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 4: the other day election in New York.

476
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: Rah, Well, I'm saying to them, but the Democrats did

477
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: win that race. I want to speak though, Angela if

478
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: I could to the question, I believe it was Tanisha

479
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: from La and just say this communal aspect of voting

480
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: that has been so deeply, I think, sort of stitched

481
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: into our community and our culture. We've got to maintain

482
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: that because what the opposition wants to do is make

483
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: this thing seem complicated, overly intellectual, and frankly not accessible

484
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: for everyday people. And why is it that they don't

485
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: want it accessible for every day people? Because they didn't

486
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: want you holding them accountable like that they want you

487
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: to listen to. Tiffany said, those ads which may not

488
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: be backed by them, and even the ones back by them,

489
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: are usually portraying what it is that they want you

490
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: to believe about them. Could be true, could be not,

491
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: could be frankly a little bit of both. So the

492
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: communal aspect breaks down I think one of the most

493
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: significant barriers to entry, which is the shit is too

494
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: complicated and it's you know, I just I would rather

495
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: check out and deal with what I got to deal

496
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: with rather than go and try and understand and learn

497
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: about that. And so I would just recommend, you know,

498
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: keep that communal aspect up. In addition to what my

499
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: colleagues have just said, beautiful question, and we want you

500
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: all to of course keep the questions and comments coming.

501
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: We want to, of course invite you to download eight

502
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: and also get feedback to the podcast, because as you know,

503
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: we listen and we put it right here weekly in

504
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: front of you, y'all. We're gonna transition real quick to politics.

505
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: Is what everywhere.

506
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: I need some excitement.

507
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 6: Politics are what everywhere everywhere?

508
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 10: A little delayed angela look delayed, No, no, no messing

509
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 10: with you politics are very where.

510
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, ladies, this is probably one

511
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: of my more favorite parts of the podcast, where we

512
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: get to I don't know, trafficking things that we may

513
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: or may not be expert.

514
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: Tiffany, I'm a sort expert. And how dare you? Anyway?

515
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: Who won the Super Bowl?

516
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 3: Tip?

517
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 7: The Chiefs won the Super Bowl? And just for those

518
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 7: who don't know, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey both play

519
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 7: for the Teas and they're on the same team.

520
00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 6: Good job.

521
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: Thanks did you get Did they come for you? Did

522
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: they come for your friends?

523
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 6: Well?

524
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: A little bit, A little bit, It's fine.

525
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 4: They really dragged us more for talking about Travis Kelsey

526
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 4: saying he didn't like didn't say that, but.

527
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 6: You know that's how you know they don't.

528
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 7: Listen to this, That's what I'm saying. Don't watch clips

529
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 7: and think that's the whole thing. Don't we headlines and

530
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 7: think that's the whole story. Listen to the entire podcast

531
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 7: and some good stuff in there. You might learn something.

532
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 7: Stop being sweater fingers and listen before you weigh in.

533
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 7: Because it takes every day everyone to fight some of

534
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 7: these comments.

535
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 3: But I did the other day. I broke thank you.

536
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 6: I'm sorry.

537
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: So when when Angela refers to breaking the rule, I

538
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: just think, you know what, your opinion of me is

539
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: really your business, and uh.

540
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm with that.

541
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want you down in the show off of misinformation?

542
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: You know, I'm quick to check and I'll turn it effact.

543
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: Well, whatever, what are we? What is the politics everywhere?

544
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: Well, y'all tell me where is it today? Well?

545
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 7: I so, something that I found interesting is it's been

546
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 7: a lot of drama in the world of comedy from clubs,

547
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 7: two people, you know, throwing hooks back and forth. And

548
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 7: so that's been really interesting to watch because obviously I'm

549
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 7: not a comedian.

550
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: I'm just naturally funny.

551
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: Are you sure you're not a comedian, But I'm naturally funny. Different.

552
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: I think I could do. I think I could get

553
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: on stage and riff. I really do. Notice to all

554
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: my comedian friends, I think so.

555
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: So long as you don't like my boy, comedian David.

556
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 7: Louke, Okay, I like I honestly, I don't like why

557
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 7: you call him your boy.

558
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 6: Don't call him your boy.

559
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: Listen, I said, you know.

560
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 6: Maybe you're welcome in everybody home.

561
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: Let me. I think that's what we do here. I

562
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: think we I think we have grace. We are a

563
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: we are to meet.

564
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 6: The lots are changed for this dude.

565
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: Let's David Lucas, who is a comedian pretty popular amongst

566
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: his audience.

567
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: I don't think I've never heard. Honestly, I don't think

568
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: he's I've never.

569
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 4: Man, this is the most shine he about to get ever.

570
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 4: In like the first and last time we ever.

571
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 7: Going to I didn't have a huge following. He was

572
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 7: grossly unheard, up mostly up.

573
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: And coming comedian. All right, we make space for all.

574
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 6: He's up and gone.

575
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: Who took it? Some say a little too far when

576
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: he joked about the unfortunate and untimely passing the murderer

577
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: of George Floyd, which really spurred a reaction from the audience.

578
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: Y'all take a look and tell me what we think.

579
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 11: And all these good ass white people at my show,

580
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 11: and you wanted to show them the reason George Floyd

581
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 11: got his neck kneeled dog no ooh had that joke.

582
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 11: It's just a joke, man. I would have never kneeled

583
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 11: on George Floyd's neck. I would have shot that, and

584
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 11: that was It's called comedy. You really stop to put

585
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 11: the house with you look like you drive a yellow taxicab.

586
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 11: You y'all good? Are y'all about? I like Kyle Rittenhouse too.

587
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: For those of you who are listening and not watching,

588
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: you missed audience members getting up, walking out, shouting back

589
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: and forth. Jesus, remember when the comedy was like funny?

590
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: This guy's like low brow.

591
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 6: I mean, I am sick from this clip. I'm sick.

592
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: There's there's, but there's there's just there's just no comedy there.

593
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: Y'all think I guess.

594
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 6: Who was laughing. I want to know who is.

595
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 7: Sometimes when people outside of the community hear somebody in

596
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 7: the community say that they are, they mistakenly think this

597
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 7: is an appropriate joke.

598
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: And there was nothing funny about that.

599
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: The nervous there's also the nervous laughs laugh.

600
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 7: I heard laughter, and I didn't find that funny. And Angela,

601
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 7: I would say, Angela disagree. I didn't want to even

602
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 7: play the clip at all. Well, because it gives a

603
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 7: highlight I think is disrespectful to the Floyd family to

604
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 7: have to hear that. I think it's disrespectful to all

605
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 7: of us who remember that moment so keenly. And I

606
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 7: think the key to comedy is it has to be funny,

607
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 7: and what this man lacks in humor he makes up

608
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 7: for in controversy. And he will find that actually is

609
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 7: not talent. And so I think he's already gotten too

610
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 7: much airtime on Native Landpod in my personal opinion.

611
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: Well, I just think, you know, part of this is

612
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: are we There're two questions for me. One we've just

613
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: seen after the super Bowl. You know, Kanye sort of

614
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, put itself back out there a little bit.

615
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 5: Maybe he has a deal, possibly a redeal underway, but

616
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 5: really you know, speaking up and talking a little bit

617
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 5: more about his mental health, making you know, bad statements

618
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 5: and actions all along the way.

619
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: But who among us hasn't And I just wonder what

620
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: is the road to like recovery once you do something

621
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: so foolish. Now I don't even know if this guy,

622
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: the comedian recognizes the harm of his ways. You all

623
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: are right to focus first on the family, which is

624
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: it's got to be harmful to them. But if we

625
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: were to carry this, you know, a little step further,

626
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, how do people start to you know,

627
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: rehabilitate themselves and become part of frankly acceptable audience, and

628
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: then two for me. And this is probably even bigger

629
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: than the first, and it is, have we really learned

630
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: anything from the summer of our awakening, where we thought

631
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: folks regardless of their color, where they live, with neighborhood,

632
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: where they grew up. We're starting to understand at least

633
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: appreciate the plight of black folks, black men particularly, but

634
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: black folks in this country has released to criminal justice.

635
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Did we learn a lesson?

636
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 4: But this is the thing, right, So Tiff talked about

637
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: how we disagreed about whether or not to play the clip.

638
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 4: I wanted to play the clip because I think there

639
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 4: are more people who hold that sentiment than not. And

640
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 4: what is what is reflected in is to this very

641
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 4: point around twenty twenty.

642
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 6: Do you know since twenty twenty.

643
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 4: There have been three hundred and forty billion dollars committed

644
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: by Fortune one thousand companies towards racial justice efforts. So

645
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 4: if they're laughing this in this comedy club and we

646
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: cannot account for what was initially sixty six billion now

647
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 4: has turned to three hundred and forty billion, then the

648
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 4: joke is on us. The joke is on us as

649
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: black consumers, our buying power is near one point three

650
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: trillion dollars. The fact that you can continue to say,

651
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 4: I'm committing this, I'm gonna I'm gonna push this money

652
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: towards efforts that protect your safety and ensure your livelihood

653
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 4: and your viability and equity in this country. But I

654
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 4: am going to as soon as the Supreme Court says

655
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 4: no affirmative action in higher education college admissions, now I'm

656
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 4: going to retract everything that I did.

657
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 6: Racial reckoning no more.

658
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: We shall overcome hell, we done overcame enough, y'all have

659
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 4: what you need. I'm pulling all of this back, all

660
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 4: of my DEI team Meta, Google, Amazon, Twitter, and everywhere else,

661
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 4: including Paramount that just laid off a lot of people

662
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: just the other day, most of them black folks. All

663
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: of that is dissipated because you can't handle a little pressure.

664
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 4: You can't get creative for the people that helped you

665
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 4: to build this joint. Like, I have so many issues

666
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 4: with this fifty five percent increase in DEI positions after

667
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: George Floyd's death. We are forty percent of the attrition

668
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 4: rate of the layoffs in those roles. That is the

669
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 4: joke on us, well the people laughing in that comedy club.

670
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 4: Are probably in hiring positions, are probably in authority making

671
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: decision making positions and saying they're good they're gonna do

672
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: one thing, but really doing another.

673
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they may not be.

674
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 7: Even if they're not in hiring positions, they're certainly in

675
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 7: safe positions, like their.

676
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: Jobs are not of risk at ours.

677
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 7: But I think you bring up a good point, Angela

678
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 7: about all the commitment we heard. I think this will

679
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 7: be a great thing for Congress to take up, like

680
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 7: call back from some of these people and say, hey,

681
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 7: remember that money you said you commit to racial justice.

682
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 7: What happened with that? Because what it became was a

683
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 7: marketing tool. It became a marketing slogan racial reckoning and

684
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 7: not actually a policy standpoint or a real commitment by

685
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 7: the private sector.

686
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 4: Just since December, by the way, Tiff has done that.

687
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 4: They're just not in the majority, right, but it's happened.

688
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 3: I think that's a really good point.

689
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 7: But I want our viewers to understand just since December

690
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 7: of twenty twenty three, thirty three percent of jobs that

691
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 7: were hired to promote racial equity and DEI positions have

692
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 7: been lost. That's just since December this is in the

693
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 7: past three months. Moreover, more than twenty states have either

694
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 7: banned or planned to ban DEI initiatives in their states.

695
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 7: Why is all this happening because of right wing MAGA extremists.

696
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 7: And so when we a lot of you guys, a

697
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 7: lot of our viewers, and thank you for weighing in

698
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 7: and reaching out with your questions. A lot of our

699
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 7: viewers have asked us to weigh in on the Future Fund,

700
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 7: which was a fun dedicated to funding black It was

701
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 7: a venture capital fund dedicated to funding black owned businesses.

702
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 7: And so this is something the sad part of all

703
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 7: of this the gentleman going after this, Ed Bloom. He's

704
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 7: a right wing extremist who this is the same person

705
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 7: who went after affirmative action and to his credit, got

706
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 7: it all the way to the Supreme Court. So he's

707
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 7: doing exactly what he said he would do. But I

708
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 7: want people to understand that when black folks win, it

709
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 7: does not mean that other people lose. Actually everyone wins.

710
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 7: There was a study that came out in twenty sixteen

711
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 7: that found that one most venture capitalist funders are white men,

712
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 7: and so there is less than point one percent of

713
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 7: people or point three percent rather of people of color

714
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 7: who are in a position to fund these Because of

715
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 7: that number, the narrow amount of people who do get

716
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 7: funding has cost the US to lose out over one

717
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 7: point one million minority owned businesses and forfeit more than

718
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 7: nine million job opportunities. Black owned businesses does not mean

719
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 7: we only employ black people. It contributes to the economy

720
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 7: and everybody wins. So while you're cutting your nose off

721
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 7: despite your face, you are literally denying yourself and your

722
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 7: children opportunity because you cannot stomach equality in this country.

723
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 7: You don't believe in yourself enough to have a level

724
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 7: playing field, and that's why your efforts are constantly trying

725
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 7: to keep us demoted. That our outlook is watch me

726
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 7: leap frog all over you and still win. A free

727
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 7: people will never be suppressed for any longer time than

728
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 7: history would deny us.

729
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: Well, listen, y'all both have dropped some bars on this one,

730
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: and I couldn't I could not agree more. I'm hopeful, y'all,

731
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you have an optimistic outlook

732
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: around what this can actually become if we leaned into

733
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: the moment and health people accountable. But it seems to

734
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: me that for corporate America, this was very much so performative.

735
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: A lot of what was done, even the funds that

736
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: were established, the the symbolic contributions that were given to

737
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: black led organizations, the NAACP, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund,

738
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: and on and on and on and on, Black Lives Matter,

739
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: you name it. If it had black ended it, it

740
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: was getting flow. The problem is is that if you

741
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: went back and check with those organizations right now, I

742
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: bet many of them would be sad, but would truthfully

743
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: report that a lot of those donors have gone away.

744
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: How do you sustain a movement? How do you change

745
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: community in society? If you're a one time giver, a

746
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: performative actor who doesn't show up for the march, the

747
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,479
Speaker 1: putting stamps on envelopes in the office, the call time

748
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: or text time. In order to achieve the games that

749
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: we're trying to still claw back, it takes more than

750
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: just a game, an incident, a march, a petition, a

751
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: visit to Congress or your local city hall. It requires

752
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: more than that. If that's what you give, then don't

753
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: be surprised by what you get. But if you put

754
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: real energy, real effort, real organizing, real concentrated momentum and

755
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: constituency building amongst your family, then your friends and your

756
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: church members or your sit on the couch members or

757
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: whoever you.

758
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 6: Can do all that their equity should.

759
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is is, unfortunately we live in the

760
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: world that we live in, and when we fail to

761
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: do those things, people tend to contract contract to pull

762
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: back from their commitments, and we want to hold them accountable.

763
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: But listen, y'all, I don't want to leave this politics

764
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: everywhere without going to a special place for you. Tiffany,

769
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 7: want to say I misspoke. I said the Future Fund,

770
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 7: and it is actually the Fearless Funds. I want to

Speaker 7: shout out fearless Black women who are still out there

772
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,120

Speaker 7: Shout out to shout out to FAM you so apologies.

Speaker 1: when you want to talk about a ratler and fearless

780
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: funding for black and minority women, black women led businesses

781
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: to Okay, y'all will be right back after this bill

782
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: paying segment. All right, y'all. So, tiff we have waited

783
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: with bated breath long enough. What's up with this All

784
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: Star weekend?

785
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 3: Okay?

786
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: On this weekend?

787
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 7: I just want to say, because you know, these are

788
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 7: back to back events that happen. We had the Super Bowl,

789
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 7: which I think has a different a different crowd than

790
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 7: All Star. I don't know if y'all remember when All

791
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 7: Star was in Atlanta. I think collective, if he has

792
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 7: a society, we were like, this is never happening again.

793
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 3: Like it was, don't even be talking about the season women.

794
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 7: It was just so much foolishness that happened. I mean,

795
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 7: the airlines to everything. So this year All Star is

796
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 7: in Indianapolis, but every season, every All Star season. Because

797
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 7: as you all are well aware, I'm very sought after

798
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 7: for my athletic opinions on sports and whatnot. I'm not

799
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 7: going to weigh in on All Star here, but I

800
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 7: just say it is one of the check Fine, I

801
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 7: will just say I have a comment in a question.

802
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 7: My question is I don't quite understand who is playing

803
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 7: at all Star like, who are the teams that play?

804
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 7: So I'm asking that for our audience who might not understand.

805
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 7: Obviously I know, but you guys weigh in and it's

806
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 7: just one of the most beautiful experiences because I'm always

807
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 7: reminded of nineteen eighty three when Marvin Gay saying one

808
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 7: of the most beautiful renditions of the national anthem.

809
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 3: I was just a bit I wasn't born yet anyway,

810
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 3: I was just aweve it.

811
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 6: But are we gonna get to hear?

812
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: Mary?

813
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 8: Can we?

814
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 7: I would like to play one little clip of him

815
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 7: singing if we can get we got to He took

816
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 7: his time with it. Let us Nick, Can you can

817
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 7: you roll that Marvin Gay clip?

818
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: Nick?

819
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: Drop it?

820
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: He love it.

821
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 6: He took his time.

822
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 3: And so for those who don't know.

823
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 7: The next best redision I think people would argue is

824
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 7: Whitney Houston when she's saying at the super Bowl, it

825
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 7: was just I've never heard another person be able to

826
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 7: command that song the way she did. She actually said

827
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 7: Marvin Gaye version of singing the national anthems her inspiration

828
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 7: because he really took his time with it. But you

829
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 7: look at that scene with his aviator glasses on, and

830
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 7: that's smooth as he looks. It's just a beautiful moment

831
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 7: in this Black History Month that I just wanted us

832
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 7: to shout out. Now, Angela or Andrew, who want to

833
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 7: tell me tell our audience about who who's playing in

834
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 7: this game?

835
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 6: Yes, so I really want.

836
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 4: I want to just say first that I almost forgot

837
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 4: it was the national anthem, which I hate so much

838
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: that Marvin Gaye was singing that I just want to

839
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 4: be honest about it.

840
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 6: I don't like it.

841
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 4: Then check out that second and third Stanza if you

842
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 4: confused about why anyway, So, the All Star weekend Tiff

843
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 4: includes several activities. There is the dunk Contest, there's a

844
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 4: three point contest, and they are not teams in the

845
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 4: traditional sense of the NBA who are playing. It's the

846
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference versus the Western Conference teams that play against

847
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 4: each other, and folks, because this is politics everywhere, it's

848
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 4: a great time to remind folks that people actual vote

849
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 4: on who they want to play those teams for our audience.

850
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 4: Of course, what people you if I know you voted,

851
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 4: of course you're going to suppress your own vote.

852
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 6: I'm gonna vote.

853
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,120

Speaker 3: We'll use it on the podcast.

908
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 4: And now I went from being the ambassador to being

909
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 4: the digital media.

910
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 6: Yes, got it. I'm happy to do that.

911
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 4: But you know what, speaking of the Midwest, Andrew, there

912
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 4: are some things happening in the Midwest that we should

913
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 4: be being closest to. As you know, the Republicans all

914
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 4: over the country are like hell bent because they're so

915
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 4: pro life. They got another thing happen. And what's going

916
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 4: on in Missouri, Andrew give.

917
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: Well, this is why we have to pay attention. I

918
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: appreciate to if you deputizing Angela, you know, to basically

919
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: be the correspondent on the ground. But in truth, this

920
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: is where the rubber meets the road, y'all. At the

921
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: state and the local we can talk about you know

922
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: the purpose. Well, you know, a red man and age

923
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: and all that stuff all we want to, but when

924
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: it comes to your quality of life, I bet you

925
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: are watching that school board. I bet you're paying attention.

926
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: To But these commonencies are like a huge deal.

927
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: And I you know this at the state level, I

928
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: think a lot of times these things slip in and

929
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 1: go past before we ever notice them. And the next

930
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: thing we know, we sit in a doctor's office and

931
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: they talking to us about, you know, letting this senator

932
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: come sit in on my debrias because essentially what this

933
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: is let me tell you.

934
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 4: So, Senator Mary Elizabeth Coleman, who is a Republican in

935
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 4: the Missouri state Legislature, introduced a bill that would prohibit

936
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 4: planned parenthood from getting state funds.

937
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 6: You know that this has been an age old thing

938
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 6: they do over and over again, the Democrats.

939
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 4: And this is where I think it's so important because

940
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 4: there are well meaning elected officials. It's why you need

941
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 4: to pay attention and vote in your state and local races.

942
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 4: There's some Democrats that were like, not on my watch,

943
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 4: and they pushed back and they said, fine, if you're

944
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 4: gonna have a vote on this bill, we're gonna have

945
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 4: you do some roll call votes on some things. I

946
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 4: think before we get into any more about this bill

947
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 4: and this rape and incest exception, we should roll sound.

948
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: Well, you took away the right, Yes, you did.

949
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 12: You took away the rights of rape victims to have

950
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 12: a choice, to be able to decide.

951
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: All those other items.

952
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 12: That were mentioned here, a lot of those were women

953
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 12: that decided to have that. We're not saying that we're

954
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 12: forcing an abortion.

955
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: We're saying, give them the choice.

956
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 12: If you should have a twelve year old just on

957
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 12: health reasons alone, should have that choice if and But

958
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 12: you're okay with that center of forced a birth of

959
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 12: a rape twelve year old, I'm not okay with.

960
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: Suriy that you voted for. It's the law of Missouriy

961
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: you voted for. I did first thing. I appreciated the argument.

962
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: But we're the women they got women. No, they're not

963
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: your sponsor. I'm just saying it's always interesting to me

964
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: when you see on these abortion bills, and it happens

965
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 1: in my state of Florida all the time. You spend

966
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: a moment watching the legislature and it's men intensely going

967
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: in on the debate floor over a woman's right to

968
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: her own reproductive decision making.

969
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 4: There's a woman that actually called for the roll call

970
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 4: vote on the rate and incest exception. Again, shout out

971
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 4: to the folks who are holding it down. You know,

972
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 4: when you're trying to protect the lives of people, the

973
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 4: you know, the livelihood of these young folks. He mentioned

974
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 4: a twelve year old, and they can't find it in

975
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 4: their hearts to say, you know what, this is a

976
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 4: total band would go too far. This is about planned

977
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 4: parenthood and planned parenthood build Planted parenthood does so much

978
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 4: more than abortion. But to feed their messaging, you know,

979
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 4: framework they will defund planned parenthood.

980
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's insane.

981
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 7: Well, I want to just quickly pick up your point Andrew,

982
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 7: that women make up half of society. We do not

983
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 7: make up half of the elected representatives, and I think

984
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 7: that is showing in policies like this. This is why

985
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 7: I think this is so important because I'll say it

986
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 7: every week.

987
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 3: The state and.

988
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 7: Local level is where policies are created and they bubble

989
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 7: up to the federal level. And this is a great

990
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 7: example of this. Sixty four thousand pregnancies have happened from

991
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 7: rape in the United States. That has been since Roe v.

992
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 7: Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. When you think

993
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 7: about where black folks live, more than sixty percent of

994
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 7: those who seek an abortion are people of color. And

995
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 7: when you think about where black folks reside, a majority

996
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 7: of us live in Southern States. That is that Bible

997
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 7: Belt quote unquote, where a lot of abortion bands have

998
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 7: been enacted. So this is something that disproportionately impacts us

999
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 7: and that we have to think about. I never address

1000
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 7: these people or call them pro life. They perhaps may

1001
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 7: be pro fetus, they are not pro life. You cannot

1002
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 7: be pro life and pro guns. You cannot be pro life,

1003
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 7: and in my opinion, pro Trump. You cannot be pro

1004
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 7: life and support what's happening at the southern border with

1005
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 7: a razor wire, where my desperate my are swinging with

1006
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 7: their children and you are okay with them drowning. Nothing

1007
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 7: about that says pro life to me. This abortion band

1008
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 7: has always been about control, and it's sad. But it's

1009
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 7: really sad that there are so many women, who are

1010
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 7: particularly white women, to be honest, who vote in favor

1011
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 7: of these oppressive, draconian policies that have a direct, sad

1012
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 7: impact on the majority of black women. And I just

1013
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 7: I can't. I don't know what's going to happen. But

1014
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 7: you think about folks in Mississippi who lack access to

1015
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 7: this kind of care. When you look at some of

1016
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 7: these states, that's an actingness. Look at some of their

1017
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 7: education levels, Look at how well they take care of

1018
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 7: their children.

1019
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 3: Not very well. So you don't care.

1020
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 7: About children, but you care about fetuses, you are a hypocrite.

1021
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: There it is, and this is one of the reasons

1022
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,240
Speaker 1: why it's really important that we lean into our local

1023
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: and state politicians that question. The point that Tiffany and

1024
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: Angela made about the states and locals being the laboratories,

1025
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: it really visualized when you think about lab rats, the

1026
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: people who we experiment with to see who lives, who

1027
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: gets cured. Many of the policies that are of course

1028
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: attacking women, but up and down across the spectrum of issues.

1029
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: Many of those policies see the first light of day

1030
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: at a local or a state rule making or lawmaking

1031
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: set of hearings and practices, and then are obviously inculcated

1032
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: into the law. And unfortunately, before we look up and

1033
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: we know what's going on, you're down at your mayor's

1034
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: office asking for a social Security check when that's not

1035
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: our jurisdiction. But you failed to come and talk to

1036
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: me when we were Banschood by the NRA about guns

1037
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: and city parks where our kids play in our family's picnic.

1038
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: These are the kinds of issues that are getting adopted

1039
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: at these levels. And so for our Native Native land podcasts,

1040
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, listeners, we got to activate and in places

1041
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't wait for the invitation to run. You

1042
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: decide that you gonna pull up a seat to the

1043
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: table yourself, and you'll get out there and you'll challenge

1044
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: to people who are standing in the way of your livelihood,

1045
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: your family safety and security, and your ability to prosper

1046
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: as a community. Y'all. We're gonna wrap this session by

1047
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: hearing from another listener around some of the questions they

1048
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: have around how it is they can organize better where

1049
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: they live.

1050
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, my name is Matt Davis. I'm from Des Moines, Iowa.

1051
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 13: And so the question I had for you guys is

1052
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 13: a lot of times, like I know, when they've interviewed

1053
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 13: Charlemagne the God, I've even seen other interviews even with

1054
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 13: Angela and others, where they said the Democrats are losing

1055
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 13: the black voter, and so I was really curious, Like

1056
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 13: you know, some some have said that it's like because

1057
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 13: during Trump's presidency he was cutting checks. Others just say

1058
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 13: it's policies that they're not seeing that are impacting their

1059
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 13: daily lives. So my question is, if you were to

1060
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 13: choose three things that were attainable, what three things would

1061
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 13: you choose that that could be done and implemented that

1062
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 13: would bring more black voters back to the Democratic Party.

1063
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 4: And what do you think vose would be.

1064
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kick this, kick this over to you, Tiffany,

1065
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: but did want to say that this couple of.

1066
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 4: He called my name, So I just want to defend myself,

1067
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 4: by the way, but go ahead, keep going.

1068
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: No, you can get it done, Frank Goo.

1069
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 4: So just quickly, I want to be clear about the

1070
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 4: fact that I have never been on any show at

1071
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 4: any time saying that black people are leaving the Democratic

1072
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 4: Party for the Republican Party.

1073
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 6: That has never happened.

1074
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 4: I do worry about the number of black men in particular.

1075
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 4: I still think that is a small number that have

1076
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 4: at least entertained the idea of voting for Donald Trump.

1077
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 6: There is nothing wrong with black people.

1078
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 4: Requiring that a party that they've been so loyal to

1079
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 4: has an agenda that also serves them. To that point,

1080
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 4: he asked for three things. I'll give you three things, reparations,

1081
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 4: police reform, and an equitable agenda that includes stronger reforms

1082
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 4: in affirmative action spaces.

1083
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 7: I just want to say that Alicia Garza, as Angela

1084
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 7: often points out, has a wonderful black agenda, So I

1085
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 7: would direct anyone there. But I want to thank this

1086
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 7: viewer first of all for wigan and sending in your

1087
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 7: viewer question and even name checking Angela, so we you know,

1088
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 7: even if it may not have been the most accurate,

1089
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 7: but we super appreciate your question and thank you for that.

1090
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 7: I do kind of take issue with the premise of

1091
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 7: the question. There are not droves of black voters leaving

1092
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 7: the Democratic Party for whatever reason. That is a talking

1093
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 7: point every election cycle. What I would love for the

1094
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 7: media talk about is what white folks are doing. I've

1095
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 7: said this plenty of times. What are conservative white not

1096
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 7: even just conservative, but talk about the conservative white folks.

1097
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 7: The number of people to seventy five million plus people

1098
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 7: who are still willing to vote for Donald Trump despite

1099
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 7: this long list of things I can name talk to,

1100
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 7: there's a fracture within the Latino community, among Latino men

1101
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 7: who are venturing over to the Republican Party because of

1102
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 7: conservative policies. In much larger numbers than black people. Black

1103
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 7: people have upheld the Demoocratic Party at disproportionate rates other

1104
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 7: than any other community of color. So I kind of

1105
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 7: take an issue with this. When we try to suggest

1106
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 7: the failure of this democracy, or if there's a slight

1107
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 7: decrease in voter turnout, the first thing people want to

1108
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 7: do is say, black folks, black folks, black.

1109
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 3: Folks, I am not for it.

1110
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 7: I I will always constantly kick it back to the

1111
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 7: white folks are still at the largest voting block in

1112
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 7: this country.

1113
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

1114
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 6: And his name is Matt Davis.

1115
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 3: Thank you Matt Davis for sending us.

1116
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,479
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for the question. And of course

1117
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: it's an invitation to invite all of you to submit

1118
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: your questions, your or your comments. You could take issue

1119
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: with something that we said. You can disagree or you

1120
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: can agree, and we'll do our very best to make

1121
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: sure that we put it up here. If there's a

1122
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: learning tu double moment for folks. I just wanted to

1123
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: quickly say to Matt, I appreciate obviously the comments of

1124
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: my colleagues and also your question, and just say, I

1125
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: think if we put as much attention into meeting the

1126
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: needs of this core constituency as we put into turning

1127
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: this constituency out during an election, I think it would

1128
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: start to feel more like a respectful democratic relationship where

1129
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: my needs are being met, but your needs are being

1130
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 1: met also, and so you don't have to come up

1131
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: with a crazy ad by to convince me of all

1132
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: the things that are so great that you're doing, because

1133
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: I would have experienced it, I would have championed it.

1134
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: I would have been invited into the conversation because I

1135
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: was treated like a I don't know, important voter. Are y'all,

1136
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: y'all one more segment with us, come right back after

1137
00:56:54,760 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: this commercial break. It's worth it. Okay, y'all, we're back,

1138
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: and the teaser was real. It is worth you sticking

1139
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 1: around for and you'll see why in a few moments.

1140
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: TIF Angela, what are your calls to action? I guess

1141
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: I should have say, Andrew, what are your calls to actions?

1142
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: Y'all want me to go first? Y yeah, you don't

1143
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: want me last?

1144
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 2: Y'all?

1145
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: One thing, go and take your child, your nephew. You

1146
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: ain't got your niece, you ain't got none of them.

1147
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: Maybe your neighbor or your elderly neighbor's grandchildren, y'all take

1148
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: them outside to play. I'm so sick of my kids

1149
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: being addicted to these darn devices. I have to force

1150
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: them outside. There was a time when I was a kid,

1151
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: you couldn't get me indoors because we were outside playing

1152
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: so much. I know it's a little bit of throwback,

1153
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: maybe old fashion, but adults, lestenie in and teach these

1154
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: these these young kids what it means to go out

1155
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: and be inventive, creative, create games when you ain't got

1156
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: no supplies except a rock to carve into the street, babement.

1157
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,919
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, think about side, y'all. What you got, Tiff,

1158
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: I like that first.

1159
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 7: I want to punctuate that. You know, I'm big on

1160
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 7: stay off your devices.

1161
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 3: I promise.

1162
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 7: I cannot when I'm with somebody and they're like this

1163
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 7: the whole time talking to me. I don't want to

1164
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 7: talk to though. Our time becomes a lot more limited.

1165
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 7: My call to action is a bit different, Mike.

1166
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 6: That's true.

1167
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 3: That is true. My call to action is to read something.

1168
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 7: I think reading informs so much of our worldview and

1169
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 7: how we understand each other and different cultures and ethnicity

1170
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 7: and history and so I you know, I'm big on

1171
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 7: reading papers. I think papers are so hugely important. And

1172
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 7: some people say I don't want to hear bad news,

1173
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 7: and it's like, guys, if you don't read a paper,

1174
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 7: you clearly don't understand that it's not just bad news.

1175
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 7: There are so many things happening that there are think pieces,

1176
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 7: there are you know, people who bear witness to extraordinary

1177
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 7: events across the globe. If you don't want to read

1178
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 7: the paper, if you do want to break, then read

1179
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 7: a book. I have so many amazing, wonderful books. Maybe

1180
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 7: one day I'll put out a reading list of suggested

1181
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 7: readings from me. But there are so many amazing books.

1182
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 7: So my advice is at least this this week, if

1183
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 7: you can try to take at least one hour across

1184
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 7: the week to read something. And we have a lot

1185
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 7: of friends of books, So joy read.

1186
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 3: Got a book. We told you all about that.

1187
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 7: I have a book, say it Louder, Andrew has one

1188
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 7: in his head, and there are a lot of books

1189
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 7: of pending books coming.

1190
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 3: So plenty plenty out there to read.

1191
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: I love that, I love you staying true to your

1192
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: journalism streak. Go read Angela.

1193
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 6: Yes.

1194
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 4: So for my call to action, I'm going to throw

1195
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 4: to a listener question and respond on the other side.

1196
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 2: Piece to the Natives.

1197
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 14: This is Daniel close caption will call Daniel Mawrence. I

1198
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 14: just want to thank you so much for playing a

1199
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 14: record that I wrote for y'all. It genuinely was from

1200
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 14: the heart. I'm so supportive of all of you.

1201
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 15: Lincoln up Welcome Home with the Natives landing on the

1202
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 15: podcast Pace sixty for Briefs so hits.

1203
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 14: But I had a question and I wanted to see

1204
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 14: if there was any thoughts or conversations about you all

1205
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 14: doing random pop ups and doing live broadcasts live podcasts,

1206
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 14: because one, it would allow you to engage in a

1207
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 14: more personal, intimate way with the Natives and then also

1208
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 14: hopefully energize and galvanize people to go out and vote,

1209
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 14: because as we're all hearing and I think seeing people

1210
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 14: are just not excited about choices, and I'm just afraid

1211
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 14: people are going to be, you know, choosing a couch instead.

1212
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 14: So I wanted to just kind of throw that out there,

1213
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 14: and if you do do that, I'm gonna pull up

1214
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 14: and introduce y'all cross the t's dot the odds, gilling

1215
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 14: back to get them staying all business, will ride out bed.

1216
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 6: Shout out to Daniel again. I so enjoyed the song.

1217
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 4: It was a moment of levity in our podcast, and

1218
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 4: we're really really appreciative that we even have fans that

1219
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 4: would support in that way. I will say we have

1220
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 4: already started a little bit with this mini pod concept.

1221
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 4: As you all know, Part three of Andrew's testimony came

1222
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 4: out last Monday, and we're gonna start a mini pod concept.

1223
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 4: The next pod up will be one that explains the

1224
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 4: Native Land pod concept. When we say welcome home, we're

1225
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 4: talking about this virtual safe space that we created.

1226
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 6: When we say native Land, we're talking about being true

1227
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 6: to our God, true to our.

1228
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 4: Native land that is absolutely the continent, but also embracing

1229
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 4: some of the very important and significant work that we've

1230
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 4: done here. We celebrate Black History Month all year around

1231
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 4: around these parts. And then finally, I would say, around

1232
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 4: these pop ups and lives we are talking about it.

1233
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 4: We know that this campaign season is kind of a drab,

1234
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 4: it's not really fun we're not seeing a real primary

1235
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 4: as it were. The Republicans hardly have a contest, even

1236
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 4: though we had a hell of a lot of people

1237
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 4: in there. And on the Democratic side, there's not really

1238
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 4: a primary when you have a sitting president in office.

1239
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:06,959
Speaker 4: That's just the way it goes.

1240
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: And so why not have a.

1241
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 6: Native Lamppod campaign trail.

1242
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 4: That is what we're talking about. So we want you

1243
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,040
