And I know you feel a 155 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: way we've all talked about, like it's a choice between 156 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: Biden and Couch.

And so 177 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 3: Joe Biden was throwing some shade basically like, yeah, I. 178 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: Hear you, let's get together. 179 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 7: All I know is the name of this podcast needs 180 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 7: to be make my Day Pal. 181 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: Oh. I like it. I appreciated the light shade, by 182 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: the way, because I think Joe Biden was underestimated going 183 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: into the State of the Union, and I think the 184 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: man showed up, and I think he better than show up. 185 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: And then I'll just say I think that that this 186 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: did we talk about. We never debriefed that, which, by 187 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: the way, we got some feedback from listeners like y'all 188 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: asked us what we want to hear all that kind 189 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: of stuff, and y'all never talked about, you know, what 190 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 3: happened there. But I think he I think he overperformed 191 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: what we're expectations, sleepy Joey and going to show up, 192 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: and I think I think he overperformed that the angriest 193 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 3: as he should. 194 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 7: Bet it's fine, we don't have to revisit State of 195 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 7: the Union. I guess my thing here is I appreciate 196 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 7: that they want to have a debate or two. 197 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 6: I want to know what they're going to talk about. 198 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 7: I wish that some of the covers that I saw 199 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 7: this morning even talked about what they would talk about, 200 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 7: not just this challenge. I think if you normally this 201 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 7: is your normal frame, it's just like this battle royale 202 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 7: culture that we're in doesn't strive to get to the 203 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 7: heart of issues. It really just strives to focus on 204 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 7: the tension. And from my vantage point, I do want 205 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 7: to see a debate on the issues, but I don't 206 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 7: think they could, you know, are some at least one 207 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 7: half of this debate. 208 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 6: Cou k reallyas go toe to toe on issues, They 209 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 6: just make stuff up. 210 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 7: I appreciated Joe Biden saying the Presidential Commission on Debates 211 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 7: shouldn't be involved. And it's the one thing that I've 212 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 7: been saying since twenty sixteen, which is, how do you 213 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 7: invite a commission in to debates? Or the commission sets 214 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 7: the rules and says we don't the demoderator does not 215 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 7: have to fact check you. 216 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 6: That should be. 217 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 7: Almost the sole responsibility of the moderator. I couldn't disagree 218 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 7: with it more and so I I appreciate if they 219 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 7: would just go a step further and say, the reason 220 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 7: we don't want the Presidential Commission on Debates here is 221 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 7: because they don't serve any purpose besides asking questions. The 222 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 7: networks can do that themselves, and we are inviting the 223 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 7: networks into fact check the things that are saying. Since 224 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 7: this isn't theater, we want to make sure that this 225 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 7: is something that folks can actually go back home and 226 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 7: count on your votes are worthy of knowing the facts, 227 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 7: and I think the debates provide that type of opportunity. 228 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 6: Actually, I would prefer a crowd and audience. 229 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 7: Andrew, I mean, you were on the stage, but I 230 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 7: like to brag that I was on his debate prep team, 231 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 7: and one of the things that I remember is being 232 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 7: in the audience when Andrew debated and seeing him feed 233 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 7: off of the energy. I actually think is really an 234 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 7: important factor. I would like to hear what you say, 235 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 7: sir on this. I agree, but that's the only pushback 236 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 7: I agree. 237 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: I think that Joe Biden should not be afraid of 238 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: that because I actually think he's a person who gets 239 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: energy from people. When you saw him at the State 240 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: of the Union, his exchanges like real time in the moment, 241 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: he was almost like, bring it, bring it, I'm ready, 242 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 3: I'm agile, I can respond. The only other thing I 243 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 3: mentioned on this TIF, which is I think going to 244 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 3: be different than how we've seen this before, is the 245 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 3: first debate has been set for June twenty seventh. This 246 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: is probably going to be the earliest general election debate 247 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 3: anybody remembers if it ever existed before. And I think 248 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 3: Biden is smart to get this on the record as 249 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 3: early as he can. That way, if there are tragic mistakes, 250 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 3: there's enough time to rebound that we're not sitting on 251 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 3: the eve of the election trying to correct you know, 252 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: you know era now by the way, that works both ways. 253 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: But I think that Biden's campaign and the President himself 254 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 3: are betting on the fact that the more time people 255 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 3: get to see the contrast between these two candidates, the 256 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 3: choice that they're going to be reminded of what and 257 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: who Donald Trump is. What he gave us for four years, 258 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 3: the headache that we lived with versus what stable, steady, 259 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: agile leadership from a man who, frankly, I think too 260 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: many people have counted down and out, and I think 261 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: he will come alive in those spaces and will probably 262 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: be the general benefactor of it. 263 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: I hear you guys on the energy of the candidate, 264 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: but I'm thinking of the viewers at home, and I 265 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: just don't know how that constant applause and eruption, like, 266 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: you know, you want to hear what is your political standpoint? 267 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: And I just find it hard to believe that people 268 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: don't really know that. I wonder how many people actually 269 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: tune in to the debate. As we've seen the numbers 270 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: of State of the Union viewership has gone. 271 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: Down, it is still the highest of any political event 272 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 3: this is true. 273 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 6: This is true. 274 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they shouldn't have it. I just 275 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: don't know that it will sway voters either way. I 276 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: don't know what the benefit is, and I wonder who 277 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: benefits from it more. I would tend to say Joe Biden. 278 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 7: I tend to say the networks, whoever is able to 279 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 7: it's a good point, you know, if it don't make dollars, 280 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 7: it don't make sense. There's going to be a debate 281 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 7: and they're all gonna be betting on it. And I think, 282 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 7: you know, to the point if you know, I think 283 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 7: that people are used to live sporting events. 284 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 6: They're used to applause, they're used to noise, they're used 285 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 6: to noise on social media. 286 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 7: They'll be fine with whoever's making noise in the audience. 287 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 7: But I think that they need something because the campaign 288 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 7: in and of itself is not generating a whole lot 289 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 7: of excitement. I think there's interest, especially for people who 290 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 7: already have a natural political bent and interest, but folks 291 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 7: who are on the margins, I don't think that they're 292 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 7: paying us in justest, so maybe this is a way 293 00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 7: to get there. 294 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: I think they got to be everywhere all the time, 295 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: nobody is in one place. 296 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: There's interest, not enough interest. I'd argue, this is something 297 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: that interests me. I want to shift us a little bit. 298 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: But before we go, I just want you guys to 299 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: hear because no matter what happens in this debate, it 300 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: will impact the next steps on the campaign trail and 301 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: eventually the election, and there will be a winner and 302 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: a loser come November. And if we as I think 303 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: sometimes our rules in society are like pixie dust, you know, 304 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: like we have to depend that everybody else agrees to 305 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: participate in these rules, these social norms and mora's. We 306 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: agree to stop at stop signs, we agree to stop 307 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: at red lights. The MAGA Party is really desperate to 308 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: disrupt that, and I abuld argue institute chaos. Take a 309 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: listen to Senator Tim Scott who was on Meet the 310 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: Press and at least defon It, who was also on 311 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: Meet the Press. These were at different times, but listen 312 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: to them when they are asked directly about accepting election 313 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: results in twenty twenty four. 314 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 4: Take a listen. 315 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 8: Ceda, will you commit to accepting the election results of 316 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 8: t twenty twenty four bottom line. 317 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 9: At the end of the day, the forty seventh president 318 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 9: of the United States, movie President Donald Trump, and I'm 319 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 9: excited to get back to low inflation, low unemployment. 320 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 8: Wait wait, senator, yes or no? 321 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 10: Yes or no? 322 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 8: Will you accept the election results of twenty twenty four 323 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 8: no matter who wins. 324 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 10: That is my statement. 325 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 8: Just to be very clear, I don't hear you committed 326 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 8: to certifying the election results. Will you only commit to 327 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 8: certify the results if they're That means it is no, 328 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 8: it means if they are constitutional. 329 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So you just heard two of his surrogates say 330 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: they they hedged on accepting election results. And people are 331 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: treating us like a joke. And I think this is 332 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: setting the stage for more political violence. And I while 333 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, again, these networks are outside the courtroom and 334 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: playing you know, Kabooki theater and looking at courtroom drawings. 335 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: We're not talking about little incidents of violence. There was 336 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: a man who declared war on the CIA building. I 337 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: think this was in twenty twenty one, maybe twenty twenty two, 338 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: the summer twenty twenty two. So all these pockets of 339 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: violence are popping up. It makes me, It makes me concern. 340 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: Don't if y'all don't have nothing on network. 341 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: I think it's they're just saying what they're already doing, right, 342 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: I mean, after they have basically tried to convince all 343 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 3: of us that January sixth never occurred, and that if 344 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 3: it did occur, in your minds, you're don't believe, you're 345 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: lying eyes. It was a peaceful gathering of citizens making 346 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: petition of their government. There was nothing wrong with that. 347 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 3: Not that anybody died, not that they were chanting Hank 348 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: Mike Pence, not that they were running through the Capitol 349 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: trying to kill her. I mean, so ignore all of that. 350 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: And from Stephanic to Tim Scott and my god, I 351 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 3: soul snatched. I mean if he ever had one, because 352 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: I didn't know him prior to seeing him on the 353 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: national stage, but talk about a soul snatched. And the 354 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 3: same thing for at least Defonic, who was supposedly touted. 355 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 3: Is this reasonable New York Republican somebody that be worked 356 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 3: with until she set eyes on Donald Trump and got, 357 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 3: you know, seduced into playing this supporting role in Chaos 358 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: slash Kabuki Theater, as you already mentioned. But I'm not 359 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: surprised by these folks. I think we should. 360 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 7: Very much says Kabuki theater. I'm sorry, talk to me 361 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 7: like I don't get it. 362 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 6: I don't know. 363 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 3: Essentially, it is it is. It is a side show. 364 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 3: It is, it is. It's a circus. Yes, it's all 365 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 3: of that. It's it's not real and right now, these people, 366 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 3: unfortunately the only thing real about them is that they're 367 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 3: in real positions of influence. But aside from that, they're 368 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 3: not operating in reality. They exist in an alternative universe. 369 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 3: You saw the lineup the other day outside of the 370 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 3: Trump trial. Basically, all these guys who want to be 371 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: as vice president auditioning for the position by going out 372 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 3: and slamming the judge's daughter. Why don't you take some 373 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: time and slam Justice Clarence Thomas's wife. 374 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 4: Right, they can't. 375 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 6: They're aligned with her, of course. 376 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 3: But but this judge is corrupted because his daughter gives 377 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: the Democrats or has helped Democrats. But Clarence Thomas, his wife, 378 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: conspires to overthrow the government, and this man doesn't excuse 379 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: himself from any trial related to it. 380 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually glad you you brought up Clarence Thomas, 381 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: because Angela, I think you wanted to get in here. 382 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to bring in our viewer. We have a 383 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: viewer with the question, is Angela. 384 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 6: This is Scott and Clarence. Please you remember this. You 385 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 6: know what? 386 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: This is the shining. 387 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: For for our viewers who are listening and not watching, 388 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: flashing her cell phone lights into the camera. 389 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 6: Get out and you know what I was. 390 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: Like, but the shining get out. Yes, it just says. 391 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 7: Snow Andrew, Andrew gonna get these cultural clues today. We 392 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 7: didn't know what Kabooki Theater was, so welcome home, agent. 393 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 7: We're gonna figure it out together. Yes, that's listen to 394 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 7: the viewer question. 395 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 11: This Valentine from Hyattsville, Georgia. So why is it that 396 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 11: we as voters can't vote for these justices, the Supreme 397 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 11: Court justices, or any justices or judges that the that 398 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 11: the president appoint in office? Because I do believe that 399 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 11: we should be able to vote for any any person 400 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 11: that that are in least that is the leadership position. 401 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 11: I do believe we should we should be the one, 402 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 11: uh that put them in office. So please tell me 403 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 11: what you think. 404 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: Thank you, that's all right, Thank you, Valentine. 405 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 6: I love Valentine. 406 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 3: I love that. 407 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. And thank you for that question, 408 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: mister Valentine. Well, I just want to correct them a 409 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: little before we weigh in on what he said. You 410 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: actually can vote for justices something. 411 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 3: He said that the president appoints justice. 412 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: Yes, so I understand understand the difference, but I just 413 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: want to let our viewers know. 414 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 4: If you don't, let me explain. 415 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: In some states, judges are chosen just like any other 416 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: government position. They're elected. In some states it's partisan, and 417 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: some it's not partisan. That means that you know it's 418 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: not party affiliated, that you can actually vote for them. 419 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: Some states mirror the federal government's role, which Angela and 420 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: Andrew will get into where they might have a nominating 421 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: committee and nominate three judges and the governor is a 422 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: part of that. In some states the governor selects judges 423 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: from a commission. So there are a lot of ways 424 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: that you become. 425 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 4: A judge. 426 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: But to your point, when it gets to the federal 427 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: appointment process, Angeline and Andrew, I'm sure have a lot. 428 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 7: I will be brief our normal policies one person answers 429 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 7: on these questions. 430 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 4: This one I think is worth a discussion. 431 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 7: That's oh, I see, okay, I missed that part of 432 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 7: my bad I miss the contextcuse now I think that 433 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 7: he raised raises something that's a really valuable point of 434 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 7: discussion right now, and that is, I think the significance 435 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 7: of our vote. When you see yourself not represented in 436 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 7: places of power, you naturally want to ensure that your 437 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 7: voice is heard. 438 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 6: I think typically you would expect that. 439 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 7: The individual that you did vote for could appoint someone 440 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 7: that is aligned with your interests or theirs. And there's 441 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 7: so much aligned that there's not going to be a 442 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 7: whole lot of light between the two positions. I would 443 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 7: love for Valentine to take on a campaign where he's like, 444 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 7: from now on, Hell, now we're voting for these Supreme 445 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 7: Court justice because I don't know what they out here doing. 446 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 7: And then while we're at it, maybe it doesn't need 447 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 7: to be a lifetime appointment because y'all in here not 448 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 7: breaking ethics rules back and forth and everything in between. 449 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 6: Not y'all Clarence mostly. But you know, we really could put. 450 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 7: Some more parameters on that and ensure greater accountability. So 451 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 7: I like where he's going, and I think that if 452 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 7: our folks, the American people writ large, felt like they 453 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 7: could take on the system and change it. People would 454 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 7: be more engaged overall, which is I think where we 455 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 7: were going even with the debate conversation. 456 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 6: So, yes, there are some judges that can be voted in. 457 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 6: Many are appointed. 458 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 7: There are a lot of public officials that are appointed 459 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 7: generally at every level of government. But I think there 460 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 7: is something to be said about having your voice heard 461 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 7: at every level. It would be dope to see some 462 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 7: national Supreme Court justices on ballots instead of what we 463 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 7: got right. 464 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 3: Now, or retention votes like you have in many states 465 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: for the Supreme courts, the highest courts in the land. 466 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 3: In many states, the citizens, if they don't elect them directly, 467 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 3: they get to vote to retain them or not to 468 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 3: retain them. And if you don't meet the retention threshold, 469 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 3: you're out of there. God knows if Clarence Thomas we're 470 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 3: on a ballot and we have the choice of whether 471 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: or not to retain him or not, I guarantee we 472 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 3: would have thrown that dude off. But you know, the 473 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 3: truth is is and t If you talk about this often, 474 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 3: and I appreciate you beating this horse, you know, to death. 475 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 3: And that is the difference between how conservatives the Republicans 476 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 3: approach appointments to the federal bench and how Democrats seem 477 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 3: to approach the appointments. I mean, you had. This is 478 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 3: why I think he will go down in history as 479 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 3: the most powerful law breaking member of the United States Senate. 480 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell, the current Republican leader, who stole a Supreme 481 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: Court justice seat from Barack Obama. And that's just the 482 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 3: one we know about, but ten dozens to hundreds of 483 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: appointments of federal judges that they just sat on because 484 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 3: they didn't believe that a Democrat should be able to 485 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 3: appoint these individuals to lifetime appointments. Yet in Trump's case, 486 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 3: months before the election, oh he can fill every seat, 487 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: every vacancy that comes up, and they're you know, full stop, no, no, 488 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: no hesitation. I will say, this is why I think 489 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 3: the Senate and who's in the Senate matters so much. 490 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 3: The United States Senate has the role of advising consent 491 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 3: of the presidential appointments, and it shows up in no 492 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 3: greater place than when it comes to the confirmation, advice 493 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 3: and consent process for judicial nominees, not just the Supreme Court, 494 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 3: but the entire federal bench and the way they have 495 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 3: muscled this thing of late is essentially to block all 496 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 3: democratic president's appointments. Slow drag your feet, require all kinds 497 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: of hurdles and maneuvers to get through and pass the rules, 498 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 3: and Tiff and Angela, what this takes us to is, frankly, 499 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 3: last night's you know, this week's primary elections that occurred 500 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 3: across a number of states that could yield some differences. 501 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 4: Perfect segue, Andrew. 502 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: Before we get into that, I just want to say 503 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: really quickly that you've brought up Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, 504 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump during Donald Trump's one term. So think about 505 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: this in terms if you got a second term. It's 506 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: one term. He nominated two hundred and thirty four mostly white, 507 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: mostly male judges to lifetime appointments. So we get seduced 508 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: by the Supreme Court and we forget about actions that 509 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: take place at the lower courts as well. 510 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 4: And in the lower courts black women. 511 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: We were excited about seeing Justice Kintanji Brown Jackson confirmed 512 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court, but black women are grossly underrepresented 513 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: in lower courts. And to your point, Andrew, that is 514 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: why there needs to be a black woman in this 515 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna take it. 516 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: Quick since I know you're gonna throw but since you 517 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: brought up Donald Trump's appointments Island Cannon as as Angelou 518 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 3: pointed out in the last episode, a Donald Trump appointment 519 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: and then how many justices on the US Supreme Court 520 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 3: appointed by this president and now reviewing whether or not 521 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: this man gets to be immune. It's unbelievable. 522 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, So we're gonna talk about the role of the 523 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: Senate and why there needs to be a black woman 524 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: in the Senate. 525 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 4: There have only been three so far. 526 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break, and on the other 527 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: side of this break, we're going to get into that. 528 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 4: So don't go anywhere. 529 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 3: We're right back. 530 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 10: Do you have had me at your dinner tables? You 531 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 10: have believed, believe, believed. 532 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 12: And I think thank you so much. And together tonight 533 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 12: we have made history. 534 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 9: We have made history, and we have done so while 535 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 9: overcoming steep odds. So for anyone hear me who has 536 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 9: ever felt counted out, overlooked, and underestimated, I hope you 537 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 9: understand and share this moment and know. 538 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 12: I hope you know that the impossible is still possible. 539 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 12: How many of you know the impossible is still possible, 540 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 12: and I am fully aware, and I know that you 541 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 12: all as well. The stories like mine don't generally make 542 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 12: it to the United States Senate. 543 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 4: Listen to this. 544 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: Of the or more than two thousand people who've served 545 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: in the United States Senate, only three have been black women, 546 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: and none of those three served at the same time. 547 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: So you had Carol Moseley Braun I think she was 548 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: the first one, Vice President, Kamala Harris, and then La 549 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: Fonsa Butler who was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom in California. 550 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: This week, Angela also Brooks won the Democratic primary for 551 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: senator in Maryland, so our chances are looking good at 552 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: having a black woman in the Senate. There's also Lisa 553 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: Blant Rochester who's running in Delaware. Angela, Andrew, you and I, 554 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: all of us have talked about this. Angela and I 555 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: are in a group chat with our lady friends. And 556 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: Andrew our group chat that we all have together. We've 557 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: talked about black women in the Senate. We've dissected these 558 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: races at nauseum. I'm curious, Angela, you and I have 559 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: talked a lot about I've asked your opinion a lot. 560 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: I was like, do you think also Brooks is going 561 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: to win this election. Curious your whole thoughts about black 562 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: women in the Senate, but also curious your thought about 563 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: Angela Alsibrooks. 564 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 7: I want to congratulate Angela also Brooks on her win. 565 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 7: H there are some things that I wish that she 566 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 7: would have done, and maybe what I was recommending with 567 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 7: a backfired. I thought that she should have confronted David 568 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 7: Trone saying jigaboo in a congressional hearing. 569 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 4: You know, can you tell us that story briefly? 570 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 7: If you just google David Trone jigaboo, you'll see that 571 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 7: he says jigaboo. He claims even to say bug a 572 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 7: boo in a committee hearing in the House. 573 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 6: And right after that a. 574 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 7: Number of CBS CBC members who are his current colleagues 575 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 7: came out to endorse Angela also Brooks in the race. 576 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 7: He said some other things that were disparaging along the way, 577 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 7: spent a lot of money. 578 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 6: I think there's an actual experience. Interesting. 579 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 7: Wow, there's a very interesting case study to be held 580 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 7: on when resources matter in states and when they really don't. 581 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 7: And I think that this is one of those really 582 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 7: interesting case studies where money did not win you the race, 583 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 7: and so I think that the party actually also has 584 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 7: to do a deep dive on when and how they 585 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 7: spend resources, because we've been taught in politics that if 586 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 7: you throw money at a thing, that you will win, 587 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 7: and that is not always the case. So I think 588 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 7: there's a remarkable case study here on this. But I 589 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 7: congratulate Angela also brooks. 590 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 4: Congress to her. I have to say I was looking 591 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 4: to hear from her. 592 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: I think our sister friend Joy Reid has one of 593 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: those platforms where if you are a she speaks to everybody, 594 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: but particularly she has a strong army of black women 595 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: who tune into her, and I kept looking to see 596 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: Angela also works because I thought that conversation would be 597 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: a good exchange, and I have to say I was 598 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: disappointed I didn't see her there. And so often I 599 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: don't know if this is the case because I wasn't 600 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: talking to her campaign and dealing with them. But so 601 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: often we will hire white consultants, white people hailing our comms, 602 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: and they will put you in places like Honestly, I 603 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: don't know anybody who watches the Sunday morning talk shows 604 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: that much anymore who look like us, you know of 605 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: our our our type of people who and I don't 606 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: mean even just black folks, I mean like you know, 607 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: on the younger side, and you know, people who are 608 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: somewhat aware. I've never heard somebody say, oh my gosh, 609 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: I gotta go because meet the Press is on, and 610 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: sometimes they have a habit of putting people in traditional places. 611 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: So I hope to see Angela Alsilbrooks now that the 612 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: primary is over and she's in the general facing Republican 613 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: Larry Hogan, who we don't have a lot of nice 614 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: things to say about. He is still the party of 615 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I hope to see her on that flat. 616 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 3: Is general election, right, I mean Hogan won governor's race 617 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 3: and a Democratic you know, for all intent and purpose, 618 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: Maryland is considered a Democratic, a solidly blue Democratic state. 619 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 3: I will tell you, if there is to be a 620 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 3: state that would produce a black US senator, Maryland is 621 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: cut out of the you know, the mold is cut 622 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 3: out from that state. It has a high I think 623 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: it probably a plurality of black voters in its Democratic primary. 624 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 3: It's probably to your point, Angelo, where one of the 625 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 3: reasons why money didn't get to have the kind of 626 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 3: outsized impact that it might normally have. I had a 627 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 3: similar situation in my race in Florida, terribly outspent in 628 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: the primary. We just needed enough for people to know 629 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 3: my name and that I was a candidate on the ballot. 630 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 3: I think, and and I was impressed to see that 631 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: that Democratic nominee also also Brooks, I think, as of 632 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 3: time of recording, had two hundred and forty three thousand 633 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 3: votes and her column compared to former Governor Hogan who 634 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: had one hundred and forty seven thousand, and again he 635 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 3: only you know, there were two competitive primaries, both in 636 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 3: the Democratic and the Republican side, and she beasted on 637 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 3: the numbers. And if they're able to replicate that without 638 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: you know, really many forced eras heading into November, I 639 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 3: think it'll be a good look. I will say in 640 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: her speech last night, I think, and I know we've 641 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: got some sound and I'm not sure if this will 642 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 3: be included, but you know, there was a lot of 643 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: time spent on sort of safety crime. I think that's 644 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 3: kind of this poll page from the from the Democratic 645 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 3: playbook on these statewide races, and I would just caution 646 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 3: the double edged sword when talking about that, particularly for 647 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 3: her as a former prosecutor, and a state like balt 648 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 3: and a state like Maryland with a city like Baltimore 649 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 3: that has had consent decrees passed down against you know, 650 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 3: their law enforcement agencies and the collusion between them and 651 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 3: their prosecutors up until the point of by the way 652 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 3: Marilyn Moseby, where that formal handoff was really disrupted, and 653 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 3: she said, accountability has to apply to everybody, and when 654 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 3: after law enforcement officers who themselves were breaking the laws. 655 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 3: So I would just, you know, I caution on that 656 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 3: that you don't try so hard to get to the 657 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 3: right that you stumble over step, over break the necks 658 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 3: of the folks who bought it to the party trying 659 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,719 Speaker 3: to get to the prom and you fall short. So 660 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 3: I'm wishing her well, and let's hear the sound. 661 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 10: And thinking about what's on the line in this election. 662 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 13: I hear the stories of those I've had the privilege. 663 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 10: Of meeting all across our states. 664 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 13: Seniors like my father who thought that they would retire 665 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 13: but are back at work to cover the cost of 666 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 13: medication and groceries. Young families who find new ways to 667 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 13: stretch a dollar each month so that their kids don't 668 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 13: miss out on the class trip or the team sport 669 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 13: that they love so much. Patients who are holding off 670 00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 13: on treatment. 671 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 10: Because because it was too far or too expensive. 672 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 13: Healthcare providers who worry that political games in Washington will 673 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 13: prevent them from giving their patients medically necessary care. Women 674 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 13: all across Maryland who fear that politicians will take away 675 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 13: our right, our fundamental right to make our own health 676 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 13: care decisions. 677 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 10: These are the stakes of this. 678 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 13: Election, and it's why our work must start tonight. 679 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: I thought that piece was very good, But Andrew, I 680 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: think the points you were making, and that is part 681 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: of my challenge, right. I think sometimes you go so 682 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: far to the other side to try to appeal to 683 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: a base who's already left you. But you and Angela 684 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: both touched on something that I think is so crucial 685 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: to why we haven't seen as many black women in 686 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: the Senate, and that is the donor class. It is 687 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: largely white and male and who they consider to be 688 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: a viable candidate, and it is the party who the 689 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: party chooses to support their institutos from the D TRIP, 690 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: the d SEC, and the D TRIP, the Democratic Senatorial 691 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: Campaign Committee. Angelia will correct me if I get these wrong. 692 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, So these entities and the 693 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 1: DNC on who they consider viable candidates can be I 694 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: think a challenge. Incumbency is an issue. I was really 695 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: rooting for val Demings in Florida. She was running against, 696 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, an incumbent and Senator Marco Rubio. That's a challenge. 697 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: So it's a lack of support, a lack of funds. 698 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how we disrupt that, but you see, 699 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: when we do, dare to disrupt it. You heard Angela 700 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 1: also books in her victory speaks say stories like mine 701 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: don't often make it to the United States Senate. And 702 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: I think it's a part doing whatever you can. If 703 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: you shoot, get out there and run for something. And 704 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: if you can't run, donate something. If you can't donate, 705 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: go knock on doors for something. But we can shape 706 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: this democracy when we have the courage to do so. 707 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 3: Tiffany, I love that point and the other thing that 708 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 3: I love about her speeches. She said, I've got three 709 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 3: people that I must think before I go any further, 710 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 3: and that is Lotti, Dottie and everybody. 711 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 6: I thought that was a relatable, you know. 712 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 3: Piece and remarks The reason why I wanted the clip 713 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 3: that we played of the comments she made is that 714 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: you can insert any Democratic candidate running for a statewide 715 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 3: US Senate seat on the Democratic side in any state 716 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 3: and you're pretty much going to hear that same order. 717 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 3: Delivery may be different. They may insert their own sort 718 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 3: of stories, but the playbook is going to look the same. 719 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 3: And what I would caution on that because I think 720 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 3: similar things happened for Valdemings in Florida, and that loss 721 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 3: was nearly nineteen points or twenty points, twenty one points, 722 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 3: maybe it was. And the same electric that you know, 723 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 3: the difference between me and my opponent, and that same 724 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 3: electric was point, you know, zero three, So there was 725 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 3: a huge slide there. And I think part of that 726 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 3: is is that, Yeah, the DSCC may have a playbook, y'all, 727 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 3: but when you're running in your state, be in your state, 728 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 3: adopt the issues of your state, talk about what's happening 729 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 3: in your state because the federal stuff. The playbook may 730 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 3: work some places, but for us, particularly candidates of color 731 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 3: who are not typical to many of these ballots at 732 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 3: statewide races, we have to do it differently. We don't 733 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 3: get afforded the luxury of the pull and play model 734 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 3: for running these races. We have to show up one 735 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 3: as ourselves believable, and two we have to run our 736 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 3: races like our heart sind you nerve will dictate, not 737 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 3: like some playbook, because I think it's been a failing 738 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 3: strategy for us. 739 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 14: Even when I decided to run for Congress, I had 740 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 14: never run for anything in my life. I had just 741 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 14: been widowed the year before I decided to run, and 742 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 14: I was over fifty, all of those things that people say, oh, 743 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,720 Speaker 14: you can't do it. And I think that this moment, 744 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 14: the fact that I'm running, the fact that there are 745 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 14: other black women who are running, the fact that you know, 746 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 14: we have historic candidates that are stepping up at all levels, 747 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 14: not just in the Senate. Really, I hope inspires others 748 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 14: to just do their part, whatever that is, whether it's 749 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 14: running or running a campaign or contributing. My best friend 750 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 14: she said, I don't have money to give you, but 751 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 14: I could make you patsa spaghetti and beef stew. 752 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 4: And that's what she did for me. 753 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 14: So I think this moment is a special one to 754 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 14: me personally. You know, it is not lost on me 755 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 14: that there are currently no black women in the Senate, 756 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 14: and so to be able to represent is important and 757 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 14: also and probably more equally is important to me. It's 758 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 14: representing my state, you know, that is important to me 759 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 14: as well. So I don't people ask like, what does 760 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 14: it feel like to make history? And I think for 761 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 14: many of us, we're not thinking about making history. We're 762 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 14: thinking about doing the work. 763 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 7: Didn't have a choice, so she's making history hopefully, but 764 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 7: also she knows that she doesn't have a choice. 765 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,720 Speaker 6: She always is going to serve. 766 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 7: I don't want to say two masters, but two different entities, 767 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 7: and sometimes those are competing interest being an elected official 768 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 7: and a fully black body, and also having to represent 769 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 7: the interests of your constituents that may or may not 770 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 7: look like the community you come from. So I think 771 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 7: it's always a profound conundrum that our folks find theirselves 772 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 7: in themselves in. And we also are stuck with campaign 773 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,959 Speaker 7: entities like the DSc that don't recognize it, that don't 774 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 7: hire consultants that look for look towards doing things that 775 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 7: are represent our best interests. 776 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 6: Andrew, you hit the nail on the head. 777 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 7: You were able to go rogue for so long because 778 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 7: you were not the person they picked. And by the 779 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 7: time they picked you, you had already built your campaign 780 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 7: on authenticity and who you actually are. And I just 781 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 7: hope that more candidates are able to carve out that 782 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,839 Speaker 7: courageous lane because we will not see a bench that 783 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 7: continues to grow without. 784 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 4: That and having people. 785 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: I also think Angela, you being on the trail with Andrew, 786 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: like she talked about her best friend, was like, I 787 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: kind of have money, but I can make you spaghetti. 788 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: I think you're having to tribe around you to do 789 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: things like that Angela and that person so many times. Yeah, 790 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: and just real people around you aren't yes people who 791 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: are gonna tell you the real So all those things matter. Andrew, 792 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: I have a. 793 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 4: Question for you. 794 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 3: I think I know where you're going. 795 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 4: W t S is going on at FAM. 796 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: You don't answer, We're gonna take a break.

Now fam you has paused the deal 820 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 1: while it further assesses the donation's value from a company 821 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: which really appears to have limited an amateurist online presence 822 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: zero for an allegedly highly successful business zero. As Angela says, 823 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 1: there's also a number or there's also significant reporting from 824 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: a number of outlets about Garami.

Typically. 856 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,439 Speaker 3: You know, if if you're at an HBCU, you're getting 857 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 3: these kinds of gifts and not of that size, by 858 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 3: the way, But if they do come, they're coming from 859 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 3: the government or they're coming from some corporate entity. This this, this, 860 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 3: I mean, Angela, you must have been.

I mean, 865 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 3: it was basically like you might fake, you might fake 866 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 3: the handshake of the frat, but soon enough is about 867 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 3: to catch up with you because somebody has to know you, right, 868 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 3: So nobody knows the guy as they start, you know, 869 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 3: making the rounds, and in short order people start to 870 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 3: pop up what is readily available out there about the guy, 871 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 3: which is that he's got no footprint whatsoever. The woman 872 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 3: he's named as the co president of his company, you know, 873 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 3: goes out and does an interview says, I've never even 874 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 3: worked for that company he four years prior to this point. 875 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,760 Speaker 3: This money supposedly comes from his business and a family trust, 876 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 3: an inheritance, except a go fund Me account was set 877 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:15,320 Speaker 3: up for his mother's health illness and for his brother's funeral, 878 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 3: a go fund Me account that was publicly out there 879 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 3: on the web for anybody to see. So the lack 880 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 3: of vetting on this has flamoxed the board of trustees. 881 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 4: Question. 882 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the board of trustees, the family foundation, all of 883 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 3: which you learned of this gift on the day of 884 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 3: the announcement being made insane And that is because he 885 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 3: forced the university leadership into a NDA, which I didn't 886 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 3: even know were legal for public institutions in the state 887 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 3: of Florida. But however, the university agreed to an NDA 888 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 3: and then the final executing agreement y'all that was made 889 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,720 Speaker 3: public didn't even have the man's signature on this signature line. 890 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,760 Speaker 3: It is up to But I will tell you because 891 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 3: as we are recording, as we are taping, as we're 892 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 3: speaking with each other. Right now, the Family Board of 893 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 3: Trustees is meeting for the first time since the announcements 894 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,760 Speaker 3: of this gift and their immediate skepticism about its truth. 895 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 3: And a few moments ago I received a text stating 896 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 3: that the vice president and the executive director over the 897 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 3: Fam You Foundation, which is the recipient organization, the direct 898 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 3: support organization of Fam You, the institution who would be 899 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 3: the recipient of this two hundred and thirty seven million, 900 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 3: the executive director has stepped down from that role. She is, 901 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 3: as I know her, of very talented woman. She's also 902 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 3: the dean of School of Business and Industry and accomplished 903 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 3: graduates herself. Say that again she's going to maintain that position, 904 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 3: but she will leave the Fam You Foundation again, which 905 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 3: was the sort of negotiating organization here. And just so 906 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 3: that anybody is confused, how do we get to this 907 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 3: number two hundred and thirty seven million? What the god 908 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:09,919 Speaker 3: did this holster did? Was said, he transferred what he 909 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 3: valued as two hundred and thirty seven million and stock 910 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 3: of his non publicly traded company. And because it is 911 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 3: non publicly traded, it actually has no value. You can't 912 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 3: actually apply value other than the value that he says 913 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 3: it has. So according to experts, the value could be 914 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 3: anywhere from zero to three hundred million. 915 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 7: And I just don't understand how this is not criminal? 916 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 7: How is this not criminal? 917 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 6: Do you guys. 918 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 4: Know it. 919 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 7: Gets criminal. It's it's massive for you. So I'm just 920 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 7: trying to understand what we're doing here, because you know 921 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 7: where we're out here on the front lines of a 922 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 7: whole case around fraud, that where there's a whole public battle. 923 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 7: But this is what's going on anyway. The one thing 924 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 7: that I wanted. 925 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 6: To flag here is the largest. 926 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 7: Gift to an HBCU in history before this gift of 927 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 7: dust was one hundred million dollars to Spellman from Rohnda 928 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,479 Speaker 7: Striker and William Johnston earlier this year. 929 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 6: One hundred million dollars. That's the largest gift in history. 930 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 7: So he more than doubled it in dust and embarrassed 931 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 7: this not only the like sole a moment at the 932 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,320 Speaker 7: commencement for the twenty four graduates. 933 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 6: No, of course he did, but it doesn't matter. 934 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 7: Like somebody, there should be a robust very you know, 935 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 7: a detailed background check, looking at his assets, verifying where 936 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 7: the actual money is in the bank before you do 937 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 7: anything like that. I sit on a board of an HBCU. 938 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 7: I sit on the Wilberforce board. This would not happen 939 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 7: at Wilberforce.

So it's just mind blowing to me that 943 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 7: he got this far with his little cheap ass dollar 944 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 7: tree mask on at the graduation, making a mockery of 945 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 7: one of our best and brider institutions. 946 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,359 Speaker 6: It is insanity. 947 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: Deverron Gibbons, he's a vice president and a family board 948 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: of trustees and Angela.

Comparatively, Ivy League schools received a combine five 1005 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 1: point five billion dollars in philanthropic dollars from twenty fifteen 1006 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen, compared with HBCUs three hundred and three million. 1007 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 3: And you know, we're under assault on both sides, right. 1008 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 3: We talked about TSU earlier, So the state sponsor schools 1009 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 3: are trying to shutter them, and then you've got the 1010 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 3: private donations being down at these institutions. Don't let this 1011 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 3: serve as a reflection of the great work that is 1012 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 3: happening to produce these graduates on these HBCU campuses. This 1013 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,800 Speaker 3: was a failure at a staff level and a leadership level, 1014 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 3: and those folks have to be accountable to that. But 1015 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 3: make no mistake, y'all. If you're making a choice around 1016 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 3: attending in HBCU, you make that choice based off of 1017 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,879 Speaker 3: the merits of the programs. It's its reputation of its 1018 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:12,879 Speaker 3: graduates and its degrees and not including of some individuals. 1019 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're coming up on the mountain, but you've produced 1020 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,320 Speaker 1: the largest black professionals and fields of medicine, law, engineering, 1021 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,359 Speaker 1: and war. So HBC you strong, HPC pride. All right, 1022 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 1: we got to take a quick break, but I got 1023 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: a question for Angel, and come back, Angel.

My Knicks 1041 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,799 Speaker 1: was facing off with the Pacers, and I was torn 1042 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 1: because these games are playing at the same time and 1043 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: I have not been this torn since they put a 1044 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: different world up against flipping back and forth trying to 1045 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: keep up. And I gotta say, I feel like a 1046 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: trader because I was watching more of the Knicks game 1047 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 1: just because I had been following them. But I did 1048 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 1: watch Caitlin Clark ball on that court. 1049 00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 4: I'm just into it. 1050 00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 6: I'm she got Molly wopped sis. 1051 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 4: I know they lost, but I still with her first television. 1052 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm glad that you pointed that out because 1053 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: this is well, Angela's make a good point about her 1054 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:18,799 Speaker 1: getting Molly wopps because because Angela's looking at the score, well, 1055 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 1: her assessment of the mollywopification I think is something worth 1056 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,839 Speaker 1: talking about. But I think Angela's point is not all 1057 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,439 Speaker 1: about Caitlin Clark. There are other people, and head coach 1058 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Link, Cheryl Reef, has something to say 1059 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,919 Speaker 1: about that. I'm sorry, Angela, we're playing the head coach 1060 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: of the links. They played the Seattle Storm, and Angela's 1061 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,359 Speaker 1: gonna tell us why. She She might have a guess 1062 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 1: she would this sound bite, but let's hear from Cheryl Reeve. 1063 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 16: The growth is happening so fast, it's so accelerated. And 1064 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,840 Speaker 16: I've been saying this in our own organization that business 1065 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 16: as usual isn't gonna work anymore. You're gonna get left behind. Certainly, 1066 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,240 Speaker 16: Caitlin's first game, you know, they were going to value 1067 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 16: I'm all for that. 1068 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 3: I get it. 1069 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 16: You know, people want to see that, but they also 1070 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,240 Speaker 16: want to see you know, it's not just about Caitlin, 1071 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 16: you know, and it isn't Caitlyn's fault in any way. 1072 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 16: It's more, you know, the recognition that there's general excitement 1073 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 16: about the w m A in ways that we haven't 1074 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,399 Speaker 16: seen before, and so we have to capitalize, you know. 1075 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 6: To really ensure that this is a movement. 1076 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 16: We have to capitalize on those things. 1077 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:30,839 Speaker 1: I thank you, right, Angela.

Courtside was actually sewed 1086 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:58,440 Speaker 7: out in the town. 1087 00:55:58,640 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 6: Which is great. 1088 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 7: But we were a couple of rows back and we 1089 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 7: were very much so enjoying a very competitive game. And 1090 00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,280 Speaker 7: then there was a breakout moment in the fourth quarter 1091 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 7: with the Lynx and Seattle lost by thirteen points, but 1092 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 7: I am elated to welcome anneka a Gooma, kay and Skyler. 1093 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 6: Why can't I think of Skyler's last name right now?

To me, they're the 1117 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 7: Oklahoma City thunder cat because I'm still mad years later. 1118 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 7: But yeah, I think I've always been a Lakers fan. 1119 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 7: I was a Laker girl for Halloween in the fifth grade. 1120 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 7: You know, we can we can claim that. And then 1121 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,920 Speaker 7: I just mostly like to see a good game, Tiff, 1122 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 7: you know, like we advt What I like. 1123 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 1: I know that is I like to see a competitive game. 1124 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,439 Speaker 1: Skylar charge it to my head and not my heart. Yeah, 1125 00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: Angela out here fighting for causes. So she and managed 1126 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 1: to go to the game. 1127 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 3: So we love I do hope that we don't run 1128 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 3: away from standout players in the w NBA out of 1129 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 3: out of a fidelity to you know, wanting to say, 1130 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 3: you know, everybody contributes, everybody makes this thing work, and 1131 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 3: that kind of thing. You know, we didn't do that 1132 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 3: a lot with with with Magic and with Jordan. You know, 1133 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 3: they they were what they were. People appreciated what the 1134 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 3: what the supporting casts did in order to make those 1135 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 3: teams as great as they were. But you know, sometimes 1136 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,320 Speaker 3: it takes that kind of individual to then make the attraction, 1137 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,720 Speaker 3: make the game, you know, more attractive, and then people 1138 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,760 Speaker 3: start to have other kinds of favorites. But if you 1139 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 3: can get eyes on the game based off of the 1140 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 3: celebrity of one or two or three, I say do 1141 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 3: that and then let the teams work speak for itself. 1142 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 10: Let's let well, the. 1143 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,439 Speaker 1: Same thing happened in the NBA. The w NBA last 1144 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 1: year thirty six million total unique viewers. That was their 1145 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 1: hot and that wasn't twenty twenty three. It was the 1146 00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 1: highest figure since two thousand and eight. It was a 1147 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 1: twenty seven percent increase. They also brought in more than 1148 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars in revenue as a WNBA with 1149 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,080 Speaker 1: a huge increase in fans. Now the NBA, by contrast, 1150 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 1: is bringing in one point six million viewers across networks. 1151 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: But it wasn't always like that. The NBA's had a 1152 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 1: fifty year head start, and there was a time where 1153 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 1: people weren't watching. And I can tell you I know 1154 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: that the Lakers were instrumental in increasing NBA viewership. And 1155 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 1: I know this because it was well documented in HBO's 1156 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: Winning Time, starring a very impressive ensemble cast. So I 1157 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:44,919 Speaker 1: know all about the showtime, Lakers and very beach. 1158 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 4: They don't like that, they do not. I don't know, Angela. 1159 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:49,920 Speaker 4: One day, this might be a mini pod. 1160 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 1: I want you to tell me why everybody had a 1161 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 1: problem with HBO's Winning Time, because I thought it was great. 1162 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:55,800 Speaker 1: And I just want to say this real quick in 1163 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,479 Speaker 1: case y'all know something about it.

She is scheduled 1212 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:19,360 Speaker 7: to be sentenced on May twenty third.
