Speaker 2: Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: law and Rosa is filling in for Jess. And we

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: have our sister Angela Rae with us this morning helping

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: us out. And we got some special guests joining us.

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: We have doctor Jill Stein welcome, hello, and doctor Butch.

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: Where good wepening, Yes, good morning in the building.

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 4: Y'all are a Green Party presidential candidate in running mate,

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 4: Tell the people what is the Green Party and how

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 4: are they different from the Democrats and the republic.

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 5: Well, for one thing, we don't take money from billionaires

13
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 5: and bankers in APAC and Wall Street and the war machine.

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 5: So we're a people powered party. That's what makes us

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 5: totally different. That's what liberates us to actually tell it

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 5: like it is and to stand up and fight for

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 5: the people, for the healthcare that we need as a

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 5: human right, for the housing that we need. Because half

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 5: half of America right now, half of all renters, are

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: struggling to keep a roof over their heads. That's not

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: a surprise, I'm sure to the listener on this program.

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 5: You know, eighty seven million people don't have the health

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 5: care that we need. Our schools are in crisis. We

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 5: got forty four million people carrying student debt, and you know,

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 5: and a climate crisis. Yet we're spending half of our

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: congressional dollars on the endless war machine, bringing us the

27
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 5: likes of the genocide in Gaza and beyond. We got

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 5: three you know, nuclear wars in the making right now.

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 5: You know, this is where our dollars are going half

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 5: of our congressional budget. It's twelve thousand dollars on average

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 5: per household in America to keep this endless war machine

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 5: going right now. Yet we have such urgent and dire needs,

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 5: especially among communities of color and African Americans. We've got

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 5: really critical needs that we need to be meeting. And

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 5: that's what the Green Party is about, actually fighting for people,

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 5: planet and peace over profit.

37
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: What would you say to people that feel like the

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: Green Party is really taking votes away from Democrats and

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: it's a disrupt a lot of people, especially a lot

40
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: of older people. When you talk about other parties outside

41
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: of Republican and Democrats, they say, oh, all they're doing

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: is being disrupting. They're just taking the votes away from

43
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: other parties. What are your thoughts on that?

44
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 5: So that's kind of the propaganda of the power machine

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 5: that wants you to stay in your place basically, and

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 5: to think that resistance is futile and think that you

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: don't own your vote. I mean, who owns your vote?

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: Politicians have to earn your vote. They don't own it.

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 5: And that's the question, are they earning your vote? You know,

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 5: when you actually look at our condition, people are facing

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 5: a crisis really in every dimension of our lives, and

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 5: it's not getting better yet our resources are being squandered.

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 5: Sixty eight percent of Americans want an immediate ceasefire and

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 5: an end to the genocide sixty eight percent. Yet you

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 5: can hardly get a single vote on that behalf in Congress,

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 5: and you're getting a standing ovation per minute for that

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 5: war criminal that Yahoo, you know, who is carrying out

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: this genocide which could be ended with a simple phone

59
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 5: call from the president, just like Reagan did, just like

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: Eisenhower did before him. The US is in charge. This

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 5: is our genocide going on right now, and don't let

62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 5: them talk you into voting for genocide. If you vote

63
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: for genocide, you're endorsing it. You're enabling it. We can

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 5: stop it. We actually have the power. And I'll just

65
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 5: quote two people Frederick Douglass who said power concedes nothing

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 5: without a demand. The empire is trying to talk you

67
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 5: out of your demand right now. But we have that demand.

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: We have the numbers to make the demand. We got

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 5: the solutions, we've got a system, we have an analysis

70
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 5: which actually works, and we got to stand up and

71
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 5: make that demand. They're trying to shame you and blame

72
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: you out of making that demand that belongs to us.

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 5: Our vote is our power and a democracy. Don't let

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 5: them talk you out of it. And the second thing

75
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 5: is Alice Walker, the novelist and poet who said the

76
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: biggest way people give up power is by not knowing

77
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 5: we have it to start with. We got the power

78
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: if you look at the numbers, if you look at

79
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 5: the values, if you look at the solutions that are

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 5: out there, they're out there really waiting for us to

81
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 5: stand up and demand them. And if we don't know,

82
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 5: that's that's at our apperil us, that we're making a

83
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 5: mess out of the world. You know, we've committed some

84
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: like eighty regime change operations since the Second World War,

85
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 5: what's going on in Gaza is a it's like a microcosm.

86
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: It's like a symbol of empire and colonialism kind of

87
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 5: run amok. But it's not the only place, you know.

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 5: I mean, we've been rolling out slow motion genocides all

89
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 5: over the world for quite some time, and you know

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 5: this is catching up to us. We are no longer

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 5: the dominant power around the world. Power is shifting. We

92
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 5: need to shift with it. We can no longer be

93
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 5: giving marching orders to the rest of the world. We

94
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 5: need to stand up like an adult and be part

95
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 5: of a global community and a shared power structure.

96
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 6: And if you can just tag me in right here, Jill,

97
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 6: I'll go back to the first question, right, how is

98
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 6: it different? So when I was evaluating and got caught

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 6: onto the ticket three weeks ago, okay, and I had

100
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 6: done an Instagram live with doctor Joe Stein, and I

101
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 6: asked her a couple of questions. I had just posted

102
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 6: a real where Kamala Harris had been asked about reparations Harris. Okay,

103
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris had been had been posted about reparations. I

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 6: posted a real where she was talking about it, and

105
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 6: she was asked and she you know, sort of went

106
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 6: around for about ninety seconds, and then she ended by saying,

107
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 6: I will never do anything that only helps black people.

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 6: In other words, it was a rising tide, lift all boats.

109
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 6: We're gonna have social policies and stuff that helps black

110
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 6: folks by default. So I asked doctor Jill in the interview,

111
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 6: what's your position on reparations, and she said, they behave

112
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 6: as though it's incalculable, but it has been calculated by

113
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 6: specialists many times. It's between ten and thirteen trillion dollars US.

114
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 6: And I'm in favor of payments cash payments to the

115
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 6: descendants of the enslaved. So had my attention with that right.

116
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 6: The second point is I said, well, we know that

117
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 6: you have been at the forefront of the struggle for

118
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 6: Palestine liberation, and as an anti Zionist Jewish white woman,

119
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 6: that is a powerful statement, especially seeing you get arrested

120
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 6: at you know, pro Palestine rally. So I know where

121
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 6: you stand on Gaza and we wouldn't be talking if

122
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 6: you didn't stand in that place. This was before I

123
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 6: was on the ticket, But I said, what's your overall

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 6: vision of foreign policy? And she said, to dismantle the

125
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 6: American empire, and I said, yeah, and you better hurry

126
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 6: up quick and do it before somebody do it for you. Right,

127
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 6: that those two processes look very different. If you take

128
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 6: the trillion dollars a year that are being thrown away

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 6: murdering other people's children in foreign countries, and instead of

130
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 6: put that into investments in infrastructure, into social housing, into

131
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 6: healthcare in this country, then that looks like a flourishing,

132
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 6: prosperous future, not.

133
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: Just for Black America but for all of America. Right.

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 6: Whereas if you continue to torment humanity with the most

135
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 6: brutal imperialist state ever to exist in human history, that

136
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 6: we're coming up on a nine to eleven more. Al Right,

137
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 6: Jill and I are going to do something on March

138
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 6: in Detroit. Well, what did Malcolm say about chickens coming

139
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 6: home to roost? If we keep exporting this violence all

140
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 6: over the globe, then it is going to keep coming

141
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 6: right back here to our homes. And that's something that

142
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 6: doesn't just concern black and brown folk. That's something that

143
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 6: concerned all folk. Last thing that I'll say on this

144
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 6: in response to here to your question, v I, would

145
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 6: you know one version that we get to that question?

146
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 6: You know regularly is like what you're throwing your vote away?

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 6: You know, right, that's the other version of it, Okay.

148
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 6: And the thing is is in this broke electoral college.

149
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: And by the way, the Green Party stands for abolishing

150
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 6: the electoral college, okay, And so that hangover from slavery

151
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 6: and bringing in ranked choice voting in all voting systems

152
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 6: so that you're not putting people on opposite sides where

153
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 6: they bang on each other. Right, the real criminal Red

154
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 6: and Blue is not the honorable street organizations like the

155
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 6: Bloods and the Crypts. The real criminal gangs red and

156
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 6: Blue are the Democrats and Republicans, and right now they're

157
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 6: being encouraged to bang on each other in public. If

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 6: you have ranked choice voting, then people are going to

159
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 6: be drawn to the middle rather than drawn to extremes.

160
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 6: But let's go back to the question about throwing your

161
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 6: vote away in this electoral college system. All y'all throwing

162
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 6: your votes away because unless you live in one of

163
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 6: them four or five swing states, it has already decided

164
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 6: that your state is going to go either blue or

165
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 6: Red before you ever.

166
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: Get into the booth.

167
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 6: So instead of throwing your vote away on team Red

168
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 6: or Team Blue when it don't make no difference in

169
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 6: the state that you in, Why not vote for reparations?

170
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: Now? Why not vote for a ceasefire? Now? Why not build.

171
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 6: Power in a green party that is going to give

172
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 6: people an actual, viable third party alternative so that we

173
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 6: can get these thugs on either side of the aisle

174
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 6: to behave like grown folks.

175
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 7: Well, so you raise an interesting point around throwing your

176
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 7: vote away, and there's actually numbers on that, doctor Sin.

177
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 7: You raised over seven point three million dollars for a

178
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 7: recount in twenty sixteen, a recount of votes that probably

179
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 7: actually do matter. In Michigan, for example, you acquired fifty

180
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 7: four hundred and sixty three votes. Of course, Donald Trump

181
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 7: beat Hillary Clinton by ten thousand, seven hundred and four votes,

182
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 7: and she lost by half a percentage point. In Michigan

183
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 7: and Wisconsin, thirty one thousand six votes you acquired. Trump

184
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 7: beat Hillary Clinton by twenty two one hundred and seventy

185
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 7: seven votes. In Pennsylvania forty nine thousand, four hund eighty

186
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 7: five votes, and Donald Trump be her by a little

187
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 7: over sixty seven thousand votes. You engaged in raising money

188
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 7: for a recount because our votes actually do matter. Can

189
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 7: you talk about the results of that recount in those

190
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 7: three states that I just named.

191
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 5: Sure, and let me say that every vote counts, you know,

192
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 5: and we believe because every vote counts. That's why we

193
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 5: don't want the electoral College telling us that some states

194
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 5: matter and others don't. We believe. And in terms of

195
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 5: how we are conducting our campaign, we're in swing states,

196
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: we're in red states, we're in blue states. We are

197
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: all about building power and really helping to help people

198
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: to grab the power that belongs to us. The fallacy

199
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 5: there which is what you know the Democrats in particular

200
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 5: harp on, and it's not true the idea that votes

201
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 5: for Greens came at the expense of votes for Hillary Clinton.

202
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 5: We actually know from in fact from exit poll and

203
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 5: just from talking to people, people who vote for us,

204
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 5: and it's about sixty one percent of everybody who votes

205
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 5: for us would not have come out to vote. So

206
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 5: those votes didn't come from Hillary Clinton, and some of

207
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 5: them actually came from Trump to So if you actually

208
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 5: crunch the numbers, what you see is that the outcome

209
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: would not have changed at all. Uh if we weren't

210
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 5: in there. Yes, no, no electoral college vote would have

211
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 5: changed exactly none. If you calculate the fact, sixty percent,

212
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: sixty one percent of our votes would not have voted

213
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: one bit and of the remaining.

214
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 7: To do that calculation, but the only thing I'd be

215
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 7: glad to share it with you. No, No, I'm not.

216
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 7: Actually I'm a lawyer because I don't do math like that.

217
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 7: We don't really know that. Like, folks come in even

218
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 7: and you all know this too, you right, Folks will

219
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 7: say Ralph.

220
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: Vader, who was one of about six third party candidates

221
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: in that election, But you don't.

222
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 8: Know what my point was going to be.

223
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 7: He's going to that, Folks will say, and it's happened

224
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 7: Hillary Clinton, has happened to Kamla Harris, has happened Donald Trump.

225
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 7: Folks will say in a poll that they were going

226
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 7: to vote or they are going to vote for this person.

227
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: That's true. You never know. But we also know that

228
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 5: one out of every three voters did not vote in

229
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 5: the last presidential election in twenty twenty. One out of

230
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 5: every three eligible voters chose not to vote. And who

231
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: were they? They were largely disproportionately of color, young, and

232
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 5: low income, exactly the people to whom our agenda speaks.

233
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 5: So you know, a lot about voting is indeterminate, and

234
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: it's not going to be predicted by polls because polls,

235
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: you know, are by definition people who tend to vote.

236
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 5: But what we're talking to are people who tend not

237
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 5: to vote. Don't they also deserve a vote? And let

238
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 5: me also cite the statistics that show the numbers are

239
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 5: off the charts right now in terms of people who

240
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 5: want other options. This is sampled every year by Gallup

241
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: and also by Pew. But Gallup shows that the numbers

242
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: now are sixty three percent who are saying that the

243
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: two parties, the two parties are doing such a bad

244
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: job of serving the public interest that sixty three percent

245
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: say we need another option, we need another major party.

246
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: So it's like, amidst all this indeterminate stuff, and you're

247
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 5: absolutely right, you can't predict a lot of this. Are

248
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 5: we going to clamp down and say, therefore shut down choices,

249
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: therefore shut down options when that's what people are demanding?

250
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 5: Who and why are people demanding it? Because they've been

251
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: thrown under the bus for long enough by both parties

252
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 5: and they really want other options. So what we're saying is,

253
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 5: let's give people those other options. If you're concerned about

254
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: splitting the vote, so called spoiled elections, there's a solution

255
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 5: for that. It's called ranked choice voting. We have been

256
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: pushing that for twenty years and the Democrats keep shutting

257
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 5: it down. Why do they shut it down because they

258
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 5: want to extort your vote. They want to be able

259
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: to use fear campaigning and smear campaigning because they don't

260
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: want to face the music. Oh, it's hardly a new charge. No,

261
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 5: we can document that.

262
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: Another question was addressed to question.

263
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just want to say to add a piece

264
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 6: to it. And this has come you know, since like

265
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 6: I joined the campaign, reached out to colleagues. Dahlia Mulgahead

266
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 6: a key researcher at ISPU Institute for Social Policy and Understanding.

267
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 6: So these are publicly available numbers, and this goes to

268
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 6: the heart of the question that you asked about previous elections,

269
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 6: but it's about this upcoming one.

270
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: And then it's.

271
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 6: About like where we actually are so key swing states Pennsylvania, Michigan,

272
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 6: and Georgia. Okay, these are all for demographic purposes, essentially

273
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 6: the same state, similar proportion of African Americans, similar proportion

274
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 6: of Muslims. There's little differences in the way that they're comprised,

275
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 6: but specifically for the Muslim and Black populations are these

276
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 6: are very similar states. So in twenty twenty, Joe Biden

277
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 6: received sixty five percent of the Muslim vote in those states,

278
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 6: and Joe Biden would not have won any of those

279
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 6: states without getting that big majority amongst the Muslim vote.

280
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: Okay.

281
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 6: January twenty twenty four, twelve percent of the vote according

282
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 6: to polling polling yes, from sixty five percent to twelve percent. Okay,

283
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 6: And the polling says, well, why Gaza, right, So, so

284
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 6: eighty percent of the people that have have bailed said

285
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 6: that Gaza is the reason, even if that's for people

286
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 6: that were Trump voters, that's for people that were Biden voters.

287
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 6: The Muslim community has already been lost and it's not

288
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 6: coming back. And the thing is is that in those

289
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 6: swing states you are never getting the Muslim vote vote back,

290
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 6: which means, in point of fact, if we know this,

291
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 6: then the Democrats have for sure known this. They are

292
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 6: not winning any of those swing states without those Muslim

293
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 6: voting impossible. Dead man walking, bro, Like, I'm serious, it

294
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 6: is a zombie.

295
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: Well, there will show. But right now they're looking like, yeah, yeah,

296
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 5: so that's the point.

297
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So that's what.

298
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 6: They're showing is that it's upwards of seventy percent of

299
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 6: those that are walking away from from the Democratic Party

300
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 6: are walking towards third third party candidates. So in point

301
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 6: of fact, only about five percent eight percent. I'm just

302
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 6: there were two different numbers from two different points in

303
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 6: time that Dahalia had cited, so it was somewhere between

304
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 6: five and ten percent are going towards Trump. It's a

305
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 6: very small number, a very small number are remaining uncommitted.

306
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 6: The overwhelming majority are going third party. And this was

307
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 6: before it became clear right that the Green Party was

308
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 6: going to be the strongest of those three parties. So

309
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 6: then another poll run by the Council on American Islamic

310
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 6: Relations CARE showed just last week that that in the

311
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 6: Muslim community nationwide now now not just talking about those

312
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 6: three swing states, but nationwide had us polling neck and

313
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 6: neck with Kamala Harris. And actually a new poll was

314
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 6: just released that came out this morning. I didn't get

315
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 6: the chance to verify it whether it's a scientific poll

316
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 6: or not, that we're not leading in that race.

317
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 7: You guys are you're saying that you're competing in red

318
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 7: states in battleground states. I'm sorry, y'all, you'll jumping too,

319
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 7: but let's keep going. You know what I'm saying, there

320
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 7: are at least thirteen states where you all are not

321
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 7: like on the ballot or folks would have to write

322
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 7: you in or there it's still contested. You're actively petitioning,

323
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 7: for example, to be on the ballot in Rhode Island.

324
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 7: So in those states where there are also Muslim people

325
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 7: who you're saying you're winning over based on a poll,

326
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 7: that you're going to find the information for what options

327
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 7: do they have? This is if this is a fifty

328
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 7: straight state strategy, y'all are short by thirteen.

329
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 5: So in every state except for three there are three

330
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: states that don't allow writ in writing campaigns, but wright

331
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: ins are doable campaigns. Joe Biden himself won a write

332
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: in in New Hampshire because he was not in the

333
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: primary for various Yeah. Right, but even so, even in

334
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: a primary, he ran a write in campaign and did fabulous.

335
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 5: So having the ability to do a right and if

336
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 5: the community is really motivated and.

337
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 6: In the overwhelming majority of states, we are actually.

338
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 5: On the way we are. We will be on his

339
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 5: right ends in all the states, with the exception of

340
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 5: I think it's South Dakota.

341
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 8: Indiana, and Oklahoma.

342
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 5: That's right, those three states.

343
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 6: We are on the ballot right ends, yes, go ahead.

344
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 5: Well, so we will be a choice, an anti genocide,

345
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: anti war, pro worker, pro reparations, climate emergency choice, and

346
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 5: the only one which has nationwide status. We will be

347
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 5: on the ballot for ninety five percent of voters. That

348
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 5: is more than enough to win an election. But you know,

349
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 5: I don't want to just focus on winning the election.

350
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: This is an odd election and I would not rule

351
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 5: out a win, but that's not the only reason to run.

352
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 5: Every vote cast for our campaign is a vote against genocide.

353
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 5: It is a shot across the bow of the endless

354
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 5: war machine to say that we the people are getting organized,

355
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 5: we are moving forward, we are growing. We have organization

356
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 5: and infrastructure that we have never had before. We've never

357
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 5: been able to break through like we are now because

358
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 5: Greens have been ahead of the curve on a lot

359
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 5: of things like climate change, on reparations, on healthcare as

360
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 5: a human right, on housing as a human right, also

361
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 5: on gaza and genocide. We've been very much ahead of

362
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 5: the curve and on cutting the military budget. We're spending

363
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 5: as much as the next ten major military budgets around

364
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 5: the world right now, we're more than all ten of

365
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 5: them put together. We can cut our military budget, which

366
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: is not benefiting us here in America, and put those

367
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 5: dollars into what we critically need right here and right now.

368
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 5: We should have. We need to be raising the floor

369
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 5: for schools across the country. Why should this quality of

370
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 5: your school depend on luxury housing in your community? Housing

371
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: should schools should not depend only on property taxes from housing.

372
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 5: The federal government should be in the business of raising

373
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 5: the floor so that we have a common standard across

374
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 5: the country, so regardless of your zip code, you have good,

375
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: high quality education where you're starting out. Things like that

376
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 5: is where we need to be spending our money, not

377
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 5: on endless war, on genocide, on killing children, on massacring

378
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 5: women and children every day. You know, the police violence

379
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 5: in this country. We don't need that police violence, and

380
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: there are alternatives to that they can actually move us forward.

381
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, go, we're a candidate in twenty twelve, twenty sixteen,

382
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: what's the difference in twenty twenty four, Oh.

383
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 5: Man, it's the difference between night and day. You know.

384
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 5: It's the thing about being ahead of the curve and

385
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 5: then the curve catches up to you. Curve is catching

386
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 5: up to us on all the things. Really our agenda,

387
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 5: in fact, the agenda that we've been putting forward since

388
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 5: twenty twelve really is the progressive democratic agenda right now.

389
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 5: Healthcare is a human right, housing is a human right.

390
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 5: Reparations to the extent that they give it lip service

391
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 5: to the Green New Deal.

392
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, you want to if you're not planning to win

393
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 8: an election.

394
00:19:59,160 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: We said we wasn't planning.

395
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 8: I'm saying it's not the only understand candidate. To hear

396
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 8: that from a candidate, it kind of gives like, well.

397
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: Why are you here? Then it does sound.

398
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 6: Like may I go in on this please? Because I

399
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 6: would not have joined this campaign. I would not have

400
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 6: come out of like, you know, prestigious position in the

401
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 6: academy and organizing if I didn't think that we had

402
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 6: a chance to win this fight. Look, I'm converted to

403
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 6: Islam after reading the autobiography of Malcolm X at age fifteen.

404
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 6: Malcolm brought me into knowledge of self, brought me to Islam.

405
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 6: School me on the black radical tradition. I've been teaching

406
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 6: and building this community. I speak fluent Waloff, lived in

407
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 6: West Africa for years. I got a good life and

408
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 6: I'm not coming out of that in order to play

409
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 6: no spoiler. So I was raising that Black Muslim tradition,

410
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 6: and just like Muhammad Ali, I came in because I

411
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 6: believe we have a chance to shock the world. And

412
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 6: I know that the deck is stacked against us. But

413
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 6: this right here is part of our strategy, right because

414
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 6: what happens is is that when people hear this agenda

415
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 6: and understand that we're talking about erasing the generational wealth

416
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 6: gap now right, having a bunch of black Wall Streets

417
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 6: and new Tulsas that we can establish now, not another

418
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 6: one hundred years. Not going with your hands out to

419
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 6: the Democrats, like Malcolm said, where they, you know, treat

420
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 6: you like a political chump. You put them first, they

421
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: put you last. As Malcolm said, we erase that in

422
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 6: this generation we build black businesses, Black Wall Street and

423
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 6: they can't burn it down this time. So by appearing

424
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 6: in a form like this, what is going to happen

425
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 6: is we're going to get on a debate stage and

426
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 6: when this woman goes up on the debate state exactly, well,

427
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 6: who knows. But the point is that as soon as

428
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 6: we are in the mainstream media conversation exactly we have

429
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 6: a watch party tonight, we.

430
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 8: Have a response. We will be doing a response meet

431
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 8: qualifications for.

432
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 5: The correct qualifications established by an exclusionary framework. His goal

433
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 5: is to silence and throw off the ballots for voters.

434
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 8: Threshold for you to be pulling it at least fifteen percent.

435
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 5: Well before that, there wasn't a fifteen percent threshold when

436
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 5: this was run, when it was run by the League

437
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 5: of Women Voters, before it was hijacked by the private

438
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 5: corporations of the Democratic and Republican parties, before they were

439
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 5: in charge. It was whether or not you actually were

440
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 5: going to be a choice for enough voters across the

441
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 5: country that you could potentially win the election. So we

442
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 5: have satisfied that criterion, the basic criteria I mean as

443
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 5: a voter, because polls are self fulfilling, they are self

444
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 5: fulfilling prophecies. If you're in the poll, as determined by

445
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 5: whatever you know, private polling agency, If you are in

446
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 5: the polls, people are going to know about you. If

447
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 5: you're not even being polled people want, they don't.

448
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 6: They do not predict outcomes, they produce them.

449
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 5: And if people are saying, if people are screaming for

450
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 5: other choices, don't they have a right to hear those

451
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 5: other choices?

452
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 8: I think they do.

453
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 7: But I think that what you what you have are

454
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 7: people that need a certain level of validity to the campaign.

455
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 7: I will you will not hear Donald Trump or Kamala

456
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 7: Harris tonight on this debate stage saying hey, it's not

457
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 7: just about us winning.

458
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 8: Winning is everything.

459
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 7: And even if we even if we want to say, hey,

460
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 7: this shouldn't be a binary choice. I grew up also

461
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 7: by raised by an activists. My dad brought home the

462
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 7: you know the picture of all of the parties in

463
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 7: South Africa. Multi party democracy is great. That's how we have.

464
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 8: We have a binary choice between.

465
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 5: But the American is in the constitution, the American people.

466
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 5: The American people don't want that. The American people are

467
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 5: explicitly on records in absolutely unprecedented numbers saying we want

468
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 5: other choices. And not only do people want their choices,

469
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 5: they want to their choices.

470
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I do I do believe in the third party.

471
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: I think we need other options, but it does seem

472
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 4: like you all have a lot more smoke for the

473
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 4: Democratic Party.

474
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: I just wonder why.

475
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, So if I if I can aicular point so

476
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 6: so to to kind of finish the previous one, I

477
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 6: absolutely would not be in this race. If I didn't

478
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 6: think that we had a chance to win, I wouldn't

479
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 6: waste alls time and I wouldn't waste my own time.

480
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: So that's that's that's number one.

481
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: We have had to up until this point in time

482
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 6: target the Democrats specifically because they're the ones that are

483
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 6: suing to keep us off the ballot. They're the ones

484
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 6: that are trying to knock us off the ballot in Georgia.

485
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 6: They are the ones that are doing everything they can

486
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 6: to keep us from coming. If we were not a

487
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 6: problem for them, AOC wouldn't be, you know, doing her

488
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 6: a little sorry attack ads, you know against us.

489
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: You know that we.

490
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 6: Came back at so so the Democrats are attacking us.

491
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 6: We're responding in kind. Just to be plain about this.

492
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 6: The reason why they don't want doctor Joe Stein on

493
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 6: a debate stage is because she will be able to

494
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 6: look at Team Read and say this is a party

495
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 6: that is led by domestic terrorists and a criminal, okay,

496
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 6: try to overthrow the government on January sixth, and is

497
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 6: convicted of numerous crimes, including sexual abuse that that that

498
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 6: amounts to rape and so forth. So this man is

499
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 6: a domestic terrorist and a criminal.

500
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 3: Okay.

501
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 6: She can look to Kamala Harris and sorry, hold on, no, no,

502
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 6: it's honest to God, no disrespect to be to be

503
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 6: to be perfectly honest. It's just the way that I

504
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 6: had gotten used to pronouncing the name because it resembles

505
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 6: a name that is used in West Africa.

506
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 8: Getting it right though, yeah, you have to.

507
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 6: The other Absolutely, I will not make that mistake again.

508
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 6: I'm big men get jumped by black hold on it

509
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 6: not me, listen, richly deserved. And if I act a

510
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 6: full check my black ass, that's fine, Like no joke,

511
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 6: Like I expect to be held accountable by my people,

512
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 6: whether those are black folk or Muslims.

513
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: So that is all love and it does all welcome.

514
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 6: You're not gonna get no pushback from me on that.

515
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 3: So where was I?

516
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 6: She will turn to Kamala okay and be able to

517
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 6: say this person is actually a war criminal. In the

518
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 6: following respect, the ic C and CJ have made rulings

519
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 6: that the Zionist entity, the state of Israel, is an

520
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 6: illegal apartheid state, okay, conducting an illegal genocide in the

521
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 6: midst of an illegal occupation, and that anyone that provides

522
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 6: material support to those things is actually complicit in war crimes.

523
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 6: So you will say that there's a domestic terrorist on

524
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 6: team Red and a war criminal on team blue. One

525
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: party on this stage is not led by a criminal.

526
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 6: One party on this stage wants to restore power to

527
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 6: the American people, give a viable third party alternative. And

528
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 6: just to return to the point, yes, I do want

529
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 6: that shot at their chin, and I'm coming for Trump,

530
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 6: Like I've already got my game plan laid out for Trump.

531
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: You know, Trump thinks he can do nicknames.

532
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 6: I already tagged Aoci Pelosi, right, and and the reels

533
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 6: have already started with that.

534
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: So I'm coming for Trump.

535
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 6: But the reality is is that we have had to

536
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 6: get the Democrats out of the way because they're trying

537
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 6: to keep us off of ballots.

538
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 9: Yes, when you talk about AOC though, and it sounds

539
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 9: like you have issues with her, right, Yeah, her whole

540
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 9: thing is, like you guys, according to what she's saying,

541
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 9: that it doesn't add city council seats, state electives.

542
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: She's round balland she's wrong.

543
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 8: Fifteen Yeah, because well how important because here for the.

544
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 5: People, that we're not growing, we're not running for lower office,

545
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 5: and that we disappear except four years we come out

546
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 5: for president. Those were her claims, and they are absolutely

547
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 5: false and misleading. She should know better because she was

548
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 5: actually campaigning in twenty seventeen. She ought to know better. No,

549
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 5: what she talked about was the Working Families Party, but

550
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 5: that is not a third party. It is a second

551
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 5: What she mentioned was the Working Families Party, her third party,

552
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 5: and what that does, that is a second ballot line.

553
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 5: It's not a third party. It's a second ballot line

554
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 5: for the Democrats, and it runs people who are already

555
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 5: Democrats or they're independent on their way to becoming Democrats.

556
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 5: And the main thing about Working Families versus true independent,

557
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 5: non corporate political grassroots parties. We are under attack by

558
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 5: the Democrats in particular, and that's what you know. It's

559
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 5: the Democrats. It's not the Republican It is the Democrats

560
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 5: who bragged starting back in March that they now had

561
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 5: an army of lawyers to basically exercise law fare, looking

562
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 5: for trivial details where they could do a gotcha and

563
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 5: get us thrown off the ballot, violating this spirit of

564
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 5: the law UH to basically eliminate their competition. They have

565
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 5: also advertised publicly for infiltrators and spies to mess up

566
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: our ballot drives. And they also hijacked our public funding

567
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 5: three hundred thousand dollars. I know it's not a lot

568
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 5: in the scheme of what Democrats and Republicans run on,

569
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 5: but we're at grassroots, people powered, low budget part party

570
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: that public funding meant a lot, and that's that's part

571
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: of the reason why we're not on in three in

572
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 5: three states.

573
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: I just have a question, and I would want all

574
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: y'all to chime in on this.

575
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 4: Is it fair to call the vice president a war

576
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 4: criminal when she's actively calling for an end to the

577
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: war on God and she's just the vice president?

578
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 5: Well, it's lip service, you know. I mean, she could

579
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 5: what would say?

580
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 6: I can't believe what you say because I see what

581
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 6: you do. You have the power to influence policy.

582
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 8: Now, I mean, did you speak out?

583
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 5: She could speak out? No, she's what she speaks out

584
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 5: in the same way that.

585
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: That Palestinians on the stage talk about not a single

586
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: one where they held them off.

587
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 6: They ordering them like animals and Gaza and then they

588
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 6: muzzle them like animals.

589
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 5: At the Democrats, even when they are faithful supporters at

590
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 5: the party and of their candidates, they still would not

591
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 5: allow a single Palestinian to get up and talk about

592
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 5: just to humanized Palestinian, it means nothing to call when

593
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 5: Biden is already doing that. He's already doing that. And

594
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 5: uh Kamala Harris, you know, spoke a little more from

595
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 5: the heart about the plight of the Palestinians, but not

596
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 5: any different whatsoever about what to do. Basically, she said that,

597
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 5: you know, our support for Israel is undying. It's uh,

598
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 5: you know, it's an absolute We will stand by Israel

599
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 5: no matter what come.

600
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 6: Hell or h parties are bought and paid for by

601
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 6: Apak in the war machine.

602
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: So that that that that's the thing there.

603
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 6: Their souls are folded on tiny little pieces of paper

604
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 6: that are buried deep in the pockets of raytheon Lackey Martin, I'm.

605
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: Not I'm not even I'm not even playing with you.

606
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 6: And let me just say this because because I don't

607
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 6: know I'm gonna get the chance to say this in another.

608
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: Venue where will matter this much.

609
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 6: As a historian of anti slavery resistance movements in West

610
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 6: Africa and the diaspora, as a historian of the black

611
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 6: resistance tradition in continental as well as the asperg Africa,

612
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 6: I am personally offended by the way that blackness is

613
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 6: being weaponized in this electoral cycle in order to justify

614
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 6: white supremacist genocide in Gaza. Okayolm so Malcolm X my

615
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 6: mentor and I didn't meet him, but the bread the

616
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 6: Autobiography of Malcolm X. Malcolm said of Zionism of the

617
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 6: Zionist state, the Israeli state, he said that this is

618
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 6: a white Jewish population, Ashkenazi population being given power by

619
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 6: white imperialists to remove brown Arabs from their land. He said, so, therefore,

620
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 6: Zionism is white supremacy. In nineteen seventy nine open Letters

621
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 6: to the Born Again James Baldwin said the same thing.

622
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 6: He said, the state of Israel was not created for

623
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 6: the salvation of the Jews. It was created for the

624
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 6: salvation of Western interests. Okay, so when you go through

625
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 6: Kwame Toure Malcolm X, James Baldwin, Tony Morris, and Angela Davis, Assadashakord.

626
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 6: These are all people that cited the Palestinian resistance. Will

627
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 6: not even to bring in the Africans, right, not to

628
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 6: mention Nelson Mandela, Not to mention Thomas Sunkarr, who talked

629
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 6: about Zionism as being the face of imperialism in the

630
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 6: Middle East. Right, this is what the black radical tradition

631
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 6: taught me. And the Black radical tradition taught me that

632
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 6: if we weaponize our blackness in favor of white supremacy,

633
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 6: then we become apostates from blackness itself, because blackness.

634
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: Is not a race.

635
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 6: It is an oppositional ideology to white supremacy. I'm a

636
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 6: historian of Africa by training. Never before in human history

637
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 6: had people speaking hundreds of different languages made themselves into one.

638
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 6: People developed the comic culture so that you and I

639
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 6: can relate to one another. You and I can relate

640
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 6: to one another on the basis of.

641
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: A shared culture.

642
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 6: And we got our Latin and Caribbean brothers and sisters,

643
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 6: you know, especially Puerto Rican's and Dominicans. But hey, but

644
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 6: also you know more broad, right, that's sharing that.

645
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 3: Culture, that is a miracle.

646
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 6: It's never happened before in human history. Because what happened

647
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 6: is is that an oppositional identity to white supremacy came

648
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 6: into being, and.

649
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: That is us.

650
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 6: And and when I see that identity now being weaponized

651
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 6: to justify the most heinous genocide in our time, Like

652
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 6: Harriet Tubman is rolling over in her grave right now,

653
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 6: sojourn her truth is rolling over in her grave right now.

654
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 6: Bill Hooks is rolling over in her grave right now.

655
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: Who did I miss?

656
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 6: Do you know what I'm saying, The idea that we

657
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 6: would weaponize something as sacred as black womanhood and then

658
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: utilize this to justify.

659
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 8: Blowing you know you.

660
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: Hear what I'm saying, period.

661
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 9: Because I want to make sure I clarify before I

662
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 9: response to it, is that because Kamala is a black woman,

663
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 9: and she's running as a black woman, and she's not

664
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 9: speaking out against things that you want her to, she's

665
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 9: using her black womanhood to.

666
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: Know I think.

667
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 6: So what I've saw is I saw a lot of

668
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 6: black abolitionists of both sexes, of all of all of

669
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 6: all gender identities. I saw a lot of black abolitionists

670
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 6: going hard in the paint at Joe Biden right, And

671
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 6: then as soon as Kamala was at the top of

672
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 6: the ticket, radio silence. All of a sudden, people that

673
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 6: you could count on that were solid through and through

674
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 6: as abolitionists suddenly become apologists for empire.

675
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 8: And thought about why?

676
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: Yes, of course I thought about that.

677
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 8: Why is that?

678
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 6: The reason is is that we have this aspirational hope

679
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 6: that is related to like black achievement and black power

680
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 6: and black excellence, and it was weaponized in the Obama presidency.

681
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: But let's so let me Can.

682
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 8: It be something else?

683
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 3: Could be?

684
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 8: Could it be I know her?

685
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

686
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 7: Could it be that she is someone who listens to

687
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 7: voices on all sides. Could it be that when the opportunity,

688
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 7: you could turn your head, but I've been no, no, no,

689
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 7: you could turn your head. But I've been in the room, doctor,

690
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 7: I was.

691
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 8: I was.

692
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 6: I was actually not turning my back. I was looking

693
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 6: to see what this respond with.

694
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: The response on the other side of the room is

695
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: over here engaged.

696
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 6: Because I can't I can't see if I can't see

697
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 6: the people there behind me, No, dis.

698
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 4: We're all having healthy conversation, but nobody against anybody.

699
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: I never turn my back on Angela ever again.

700
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 10: The last thing that the last making me an enemy

701
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 10: conversation because it's the strategy, because I knew you was

702
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 10: kind of getting your way to this, and it's very

703
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 10: disappointed to see you do that and get.

704
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: What are we missing?

705
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: Pad?

706
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: I would definitely like to hear.

707
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 8: Could it be you're getting little nervous?

708
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: I understand happened to me all the time.

709
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: I just had to.

710
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't you know, you don't need to you

711
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: don't need.

712
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 8: To be protected from me.

713
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 7: My words are not weapons, and actually is just really

714
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 7: to dispel some of the myths. I think that since

715
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 7: you all believe in polls a lot more than I do,

716
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 7: there are a lot of folks that are saying that

717
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 7: they still are trying to get to know Kamala Harris

718
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 7: even clearly how to pronounce, pronunciate her name, pronounce her name.

719
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 7: So what I would say is it could be that

720
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 7: they've seen an opportunity for for negotiation, for hearing another perspective.

721
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 8: I've been in the rooms with her on.

722
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 7: Justice reform issues and others helped to convene those rooms

723
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 7: where she's been more open. Because what we do know

724
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 7: about how politics works is that it can't just be

725
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 7: this wish agenda. I love a lot of what you

726
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 7: all have on your agenda. I'll call it after seven

727
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 7: ready or not, agen, I'll give you the sun, the rain,

728
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 7: the moon starts mountain.

729
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 6: But there's really way who called it a wish list? Mean,

730
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 6: the same people that spend a trillion dollars of y'all's

731
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 6: money blowing up other people's kids are saying it's a

732
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 6: wish list to have an actual social program.

733
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 7: I think I think that it's not propaganda. I'm saying

734
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 7: it because it's I've worked on Capitol Hill. It's very

735
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 7: difficult to get what you're trying to achieve. So just

736
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 7: for example, Jill.

737
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 6: Can talk about what you can do just from the

738
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 6: executive authorware.

739
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 8: Yes, maam, thank you.

740
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 7: Just for an example, I'd love to know how many members,

741
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 7: how many voting members in the United States House Representatives.

742
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 5: So we have been blocked the Democrats, the ballot memory

743
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 5: interfere They put spies and infiltrators on our campaign.

744
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 8: How many voting members compare us?

745
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, no answer the question how many voting

746
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 7: members in the United States House of Representatives Republican, Democrat

747
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 7: and Independent?

748
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 8: How many total?

749
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 5: How many total are there?

750
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 3: What is it?

751
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 5: Six hundred some?

752
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 6: No?

753
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 8: No, it's four hundred and thirty.

754
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 5: Five plus one hundred in the Senate, right.

755
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 7: One hundred, yes, I said House representatives, one hundred in

756
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 7: the Senate. Of those four hundred and thirty five in

757
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 7: the House of the one hundred and how many just

758
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 7: one moment.

759
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 8: I'm not trying to put you on the defense.

760
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 7: I'm just saying this because the hell is my passion,

761
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 7: that's where I grew up as a professional.

762
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 8: Right, how many of them are Green Party members?

763
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 5: Okay, I know where you're going to show that the

764
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 5: Greens are powerless. I want to make the point, Well,

765
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 5: this is usually this is usually part of that argument

766
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 5: you're trying to make.

767
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: What was the point I'm going before you rebutted, doctor Stein?

768
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 3: What was the point?

769
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 8: I want to know?

770
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 7: How many voting members of the Green Party in the

771
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 7: House of the Senate currently exists?

772
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 5: Currently? There are none. However, if you look at the

773
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 5: American people, you know how many are voting against the

774
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 5: genocide hardly any how many are voting for healthcare as

775
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 5: a human right, which would actually save US half a

776
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 5: trillion dollars a year. We the people are not represented

777
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 5: so not being there is not a strike against the Green.

778
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 8: Party, Okay, and that's fine.

779
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 7: How many of them right now based on and I

780
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 7: caught it a wishless It wasn't to be offensive?

781
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 8: Is I have a wishness? Is wanted an ideal?

782
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: Man?

783
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 7: What I'm saying is it's not dismissive here my heart right,

784
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 7: but your hearts mispronouncing of commonly hear my heart of

785
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 7: because there are none that currently exists. That means you

786
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 7: got to have allies. Oh are your allies in the House.

787
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: And City health. See if y'all.

788
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 7: Would have just slowed down a minute, y'all had guns conversation, right,

789
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 7: we try to We got to do basic, but how

790
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 7: many how many before the allies, some of your allies

791
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 7: in the House and the Senate that would help to

792
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 7: get this very aggressive agenda done.

793
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 5: So let me tell you how the agenda would get done.

794
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 5: For one thing, we need yess, yes, talk about that.

795
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 5: So what I want to speak to specifically is town

796
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 5: hall meetings, which used to require representatives to meet their districts.

797
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 5: They don't do that anymore. They meet with their donors, well,

798
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 5: they largely meet with their donors. They're meeting with their

799
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: donors like ninety percent of their waking time. They're hardly

800
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 5: ever going to town hall meetings. I mean, we've been

801
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 5: out there on the campaign trail, and when we mentioned this,

802
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 5: we get nods all around the room, especially from the

803
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 5: opponents of genocide, or from those who are demanding healthcare

804
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 5: as a human right, or from those who want rent

805
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 5: control across the country so that we can actually have

806
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 5: you know, have secure housing in this country. There are

807
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 5: so many things that the American people are demanding, but

808
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 5: our elected officials are accountable to their donors. So you

809
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 5: have a you have got to catch twenty two here.

810
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 5: You have a very difficult system to change. How do

811
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 5: you change it? You know, and it only changes in

812
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 5: a crisis. When did the third party come along? That is,

813
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 5: it was the Republican Party, you know, which was the

814
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 5: abolitionist party. It entered into the scene, you know, basically

815
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 5: right before the Civil War, and they had been preparing

816
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 5: for it running, you know, and before the Republicans, there

817
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 5: were other anti other abolitionist parties. But it's a long

818
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 5: road to get there, and you have to work to

819
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 5: get there, and you know, and then suddenly they burst

820
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: on the scene. When the time was right and right now,

821
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 5: we know that the American people are clamoring for other options,

822
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 5: the other options, like namely US, we are the major

823
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,479
Speaker 5: option on the ballot across the country. We are being

824
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 5: denied airtime, We're being censored, we're being silenced, We're being

825
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 5: canceled effectively, very much by an explicit plan through the

826
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 5: Democratic Party, which they've actually been explicit about.

827
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 7: I understand that, and you've and you've repeated that today,

828
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 7: doctor Stein. What I'm trying to say is with the

829
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 7: like the very aggressive agenda you have, I said to

830
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 7: you all with a lot of what you have there,

831
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 7: what I'm talking about is as a political strategy is.

832
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 5: Let me tell you on day one, let me tell

833
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 5: you on day one, on day one, we stop the genocide. Okay,

834
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 5: there's a lot of lies, so there's a lot that

835
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 5: they but I can't get answer your question. However, denies

836
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 5: the power that the president has as the executive The

837
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 5: president has a fair amount of executive authority to actually

838
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 5: begin the process. So that process begins with stopping the

839
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 5: genocide on day one, which happens with a phone call.

840
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 5: It's happened before. This absolutely will happen, especially if we

841
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 5: invoke the weapons and barberent on issues where you have

842
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 5: executive authority. What you need our allies among the people,

843
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 5: But you don't need the boats in Congress for much

844
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 5: of this agenda. To declare and a climate emergency, which

845
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 5: we have. The Colorado River is about to shut down.

846
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 5: We got people dying from heat, from inadequate food supply.

847
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 5: People can't afford their food. Yet the major source of

848
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 5: food in the US is in deep trouble right now.

849
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 5: The Colorado River is within one to two years of

850
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 5: shutting down. That supplies the California agriculture system. Its drought. Yeah,

851
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 5: it cannot get into the system. It can no longer

852
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 5: get through the outlets coming out of Lake need which

853
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 5: is where you have this big reservoir. It's almost too

854
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 5: low to make it into the irrigation system to reach

855
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 5: many states, but especially California agriculture, which supplies half of

856
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 5: the fruits and vegetables for the US. So you think

857
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 5: food prices are bad right now, just wait a year

858
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 5: or two. They're going to be in real trouble. So

859
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 5: we would declare a climate emergency, which there absolutely is

860
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 5: right now, And we just had over one hundred days

861
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 5: of over one hundred degree weather in Phoenix. You know,

862
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 5: we got weather conditions that have never happened before. We're

863
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 5: in serious jeopardy, not to mention the storms and drought

864
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 5: and the trouble for farmers and all that. So we

865
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 5: declare the climate emergency, and that immediately triggers the release

866
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 5: of over half a trillion dollars every year in emergency

867
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 5: funding to begin creating that Green New Deal that is

868
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 5: an emergency jobs program so no worker is left behind.

869
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: Yes, it could do that right now.

870
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 6: That could happen right now, And if I had just

871
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 6: had something that that are our brilliant and talented campaign manager,

872
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 6: Jason Call who happens to be in the room with us,

873
00:42:58,360 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 6: I don't know if the.

874
00:42:58,800 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 3: Cameras want to pad to him.

875
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 6: So so when we were having this conversation last night,

876
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 6: after after you know, a similarly robust conversation with with

877
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 6: with Mehdi Hassan, the we made the point and Jason

878
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 6: was the one that brought this into the conversation that

879
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 6: if we do land that knockout punch that Muhammad Ali

880
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 6: versus Sunny listed knockout punch, and we managed to get

881
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 6: thirty four percent of the electoral college votes in this country, right,

882
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 6: and we go from the.

883
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 5: Far four percent of the of the vote the actual actual,

884
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 5: which translated majority and the electoral college college.

885
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 6: Thank you for correcting the historian, because we've got a

886
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 6: brilliant policy mind here and I'm still new to this

887
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 6: and happy to be corrected by you know, by both family,

888
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 6: you know, and and new family, and yes, exactly. So

889
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 6: the point is, though, is that if we move from

890
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 6: that five percent, you know that that that we feel

891
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 6: is basically assured at this point in time, that will

892
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 6: lead to ten million in federal funding to run the

893
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 6: next election, so that we're not chasing, you know, behind.

894
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 3: If we have moved to the point.

895
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 6: Where Jill is able to make that phone call that

896
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 6: we've moved from that five percent to that thirty four percent,

897
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 6: that will mean that there is a profound mandate that

898
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 6: comes from the American people with that office.

899
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 3: That means that, yes, you might have these you.

900
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 6: Know, intransigent, entrenched positions on both Teams Blue and Team Red,

901
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 6: but what it will mean is that they will have

902
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 6: to respond in a different way to Team Green if

903
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 6: we have that kind of popular mandate. And that's why

904
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 6: we're trying to take the case to the American people.

905
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 6: We might fall short in making that case. They may

906
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 6: never show us their chance to where we get to

907
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 6: throw that knockout punch. But in the meantime, we are

908
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 6: able to consolidate power that can be utilized in the

909
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 6: next electoral cycle and in subsequent electoral cycles to give

910
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 6: the American people a genuine choice rather than just the

911
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 6: two gangbangers.

912
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 4: So when you talk about a third the democracy, you know,

913
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 4: like Donald Trump is right, we can all agree, yes, yes, absolutely,

914
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 4: What if because of y'all, you know, he ended up

915
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 4: winning and then there is no more democracy for y'all

916
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 4: even have a chance to be a threat?

917
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, and it's a good question, so get asked.

918
00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 8: Yes.

919
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 5: I mean Trump is out front, you know, in interfering

920
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 5: with the peaceful transfer of power, So a real threat

921
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 5: to democracy. The Democrats on their end don't get a

922
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 5: lot of they're they're not held accountable for this, but

923
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 5: they are throwing their competitors off the ballot in advance

924
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 5: of the election.

925
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: They really hire a bunch of lawyers to get Yes,

926
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: we can send you.

927
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 5: The articles if you like. In the Washington Post and

928
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 5: the New York Times, they're bragging actually they're bragging not

929
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 5: only about the consequences, but even when their plan was

930
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 5: launched back in March, they are bragging that they have

931
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 5: hired an army of lawyers basically to find faults in

932
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 5: our you know, in our petitions, in our electoral process

933
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 5: of getting on the ballot. So they and we have there,

934
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 5: we have screenshots of their ads which they have since

935
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 5: taken down, but they actually have ads advertising for people

936
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 5: to manage infiltrators and spies into our campaigns. And then

937
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 5: they actually did hijack three hundred thousand dollars in our

938
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 5: public funding, which we critically needed for the timing of

939
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: ballid access and that's why, for example, we missed Oklahoma

940
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 5: because we didn't have the cash on hand to be

941
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 5: able to pay the fee, which is you know what

942
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 5: what Oklahoma requires. So yeah, they are pulling out all

943
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 5: the stops, and then they they have I'm I'm sure

944
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 5: AOC was being an attack dog there because she was

945
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 5: put up to some ridiculous story which really did not

946
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 5: hold water and I think was really quite embarrassing to

947
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 5: her at the end of the day. Before her, it

948
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 5: was Jamie Harrison, the head of the DNC, who was

949
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 5: trying to smear me about being a Russian agent. Well,

950
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 5: that was long put to rest by the Senate Intelligence Committee,

951
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 5: which which looked into that smear campaign for three years. Actually,

952
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 5: I had a detailed investigation by the Senate Intelligence.

953
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 7: Spirit and doctor Stein, given the fact that you were

954
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 7: sitting at the head table with Vladimir Putin next to

955
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 7: Michael Flynn, who was no, literally.

956
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 8: No, not next to Michael Finn, No, not exame.

957
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 7: He was at the table with National Security Advisor Michael Flynn,

958
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 7: who was found to have Do you know in the

959
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 7: twenty sixteen election in just months?

960
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 8: Do you know what my message your election?

961
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 5: Do you know what my message was?

962
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 7: And what I understand from what you said is that

963
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 7: you weren't able to give that message because there was

964
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 7: no one to try.

965
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 5: Actually, but I was a major speaker at the conference.

966
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 5: What you saw was a photo from the dinner afterwards.

967
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 8: Dinner with Vladimir Putin.

968
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 5: Doc Vladimir Putin came in and sat down for ten

969
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 5: minutes without translator with you yet well not with me

970
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 5: on the other side, the only person I could actually

971
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 5: talk to because there was so much noise and music

972
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 5: and entertainment going on. The only person I could get

973
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 5: a word in edgewise too, was the former Foreign Minister

974
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 5: for Germany, Willie Wimmer, who was sitting on my right,

975
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 5: on my left, and my speech, you know, made three points.

976
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 5: My speech made three points. One is that we needed

977
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 5: an immediate peace offensive in the Middle East and that

978
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 5: Vladimir Putin needed to stop bombing Syria, which he had

979
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 5: just begun doing. I told him that he was following

980
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 5: in the footsteps of you US foreign policy, which was

981
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 5: a disaster by way of trying to bomb our way

982
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 5: to peace in the Middle East. The second point was

983
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 5: that we need a global green new deal because we

984
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 5: have a crisis that impacts all of us. We need

985
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 5: to move our money from the military to actually confronting

986
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 5: our true real threat to our survival, the climate. And

987
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 5: the third thing being we need to get rid of

988
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 5: the nuclear weapons, that too is a threat to our survival.

989
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 5: And right now that is a law, that is a

990
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 5: law of the land. The Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty is

991
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 5: now required by the United Nations, the vast majority of

992
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 5: the world nations have signed on, but not the nuclear

993
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 5: weapons holding nations, not Israel, not Russia, not the US,

994
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 5: not China. So I was there to promote those three things,

995
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 5: not just to Russia, but to the world press, which was.

996
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 7: The dinner, which the American intelligence officials say is the

997
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 7: Kremlin mouthpiece.

998
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 8: And I just am curious if you were there, you

999
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 8: were sitting in this picture that I so. I was

1000
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 8: there to speak to.

1001
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 5: Global media, including the Canadian broadcasting system, the BBC, China, India,

1002
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 5: world media, to know that there is another constituency within

1003
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 5: the US. We are not all about being empire, about

1004
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 5: conducting endless war against black and brown people around the

1005
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 5: world and ginning up nuclear weapons. And we have, by

1006
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 5: the way, led the charge in dismantling the nuclear treaties,

1007
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 5: so that right now we are risking nuclear war on

1008
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 5: three fronts. Did you know that one nuclear armed submarine

1009
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 5: alone contained the equivalent of five thousand Hiroshima bombs. Nuclear

1010
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 5: confrontation is a threat to us all because of the

1011
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 5: nuclear winter thing. And there's so much which is not

1012
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 5: being addressed. There's so much which the American people deserve

1013
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 5: to know, including how much this is costing us.

1014
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 4: Asking it says engaging with foreign assets as a pattern

1015
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 4: for doctor Jill Stein. Previously, the Senate Intelligence Committee investigated

1016
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 4: links between Stein's twenty sixteen campaign Andrussia's efforts to interfere

1017
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 4: in the election, while an indictment bought by Special Counsel

1018
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 4: Robert Muller found at the Kremlin's Internet Research Agency had

1019
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 4: used social media to promote her candidacy.

1020
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 8: So that, uh, that has been more than a thousand times.

1021
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean so the the Senate Intelligence Committee.

1022
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 5: They don't mention what the finding of the Senate Intelligence

1023
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 5: Committee was, which was that there was absolutely no fault

1024
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 5: on my part whatsoever. The question that was raised there

1025
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 5: was did Russian social media have an impact? And was

1026
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 5: I on you know, a beneficiary of that?

1027
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: In the Senate they said, you repeatedly parodied Kremlin views

1028
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: and posted you know what.

1029
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 5: They consider a Kremlin view. They consider reparations a Kremlin view.

1030
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 5: They consider the civil rights movement actually a Kremlin view.

1031
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 5: They consider racial disparities a Kremlin view. So these are

1032
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 5: these are these are Department of Defense talking points and

1033
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 5: these are unfortunately the DNC talking points as well, which

1034
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 5: repeatedly tries to smear me as a Russian agent. Yes,

1035
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 5: and this has been very specifically found lacking. And the report,

1036
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 5: get this, the report that was initially used to supposedly

1037
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 5: show that Russians had a social media campaign supporting me

1038
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 5: that was written by a cybersecurity firm called the New

1039
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 5: Knowledge Corporation. New Knowledge had to disband shortly after publishing

1040
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 5: that because they were exposed for conducting an interference campaign

1041
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 5: themselves in the twenty seventeen Senate election in Alabama. And

1042
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 5: how did they do that? They pretended to be a

1043
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 5: Russian influence campaign on social media. So they did exactly

1044
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 5: what they have accused the Russians of doing. They actually

1045
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 5: did and put it under the false guise of being

1046
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 5: a Russian interference campaign.

1047
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 3: So this is.

1048
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,760
Speaker 7: Vladimir Putin or any of anybody on in the anybody

1049
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 7: within his team.

1050
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 8: Have you ever had anythine?

1051
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 5: I have tried to and have never been able to.

1052
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 5: But that has been my goal to actually advance each

1053
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 5: of these three absolutely critical issues. And in the words

1054
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 5: of John F. Kennedy, we must not negotiate out of fear,

1055
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 5: but we must not fear to negotiate. Look at the

1056
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 5: Ukraine War, for example, which is an absolute disaster. It

1057
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 5: is a war being fought to the last Ukrainian. No

1058
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 5: one is paying a steeper price in blood than the

1059
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 5: people of Ukraine. Right now, this is an absolutely criminal

1060
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 5: and tragic war, but it was completely avoidable. Even after

1061
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 5: it began. There were negotiations taking place under the auspices

1062
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 5: of Turkey which brought together the various parties, and you

1063
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 5: had a peace agreement between Russia and between Ukraine. And

1064
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 5: that peace treaty was disrupted by the US and by

1065
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 5: the UK which came in and said no, you may not,

1066
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 5: you may not make peace here. The US has been

1067
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 5: invested in this, unfortunately as part of our plan for

1068
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 5: the expansion of US influence following the collapse of the

1069
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 5: Soviet Union. It's a longer story, we don't need to

1070
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 5: go into it, but this is an absolutely avoidable conflict.

1071
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 5: You have to be very skeptical of the talking points

1072
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 5: that we're hearing from.

1073
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: America. Well, so that I hear a lot of geo

1074
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: political issues with and so.

1075
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 6: I'd like to bridge between those by going back to

1076
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 6: something that you asked about, like Team Read right and

1077
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 6: how we appeal. So just to be clear right that

1078
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 6: part of the appeal to Team read is to actually

1079
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 6: focus on America. So one of the things that that

1080
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 6: is a marked difference between the way that the corporate

1081
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 6: interests that control the Democrats and the corporate interests that

1082
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 6: control the Republicans are are are configured. Is that on

1083
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 6: the so called right end of the spectrum, there are

1084
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 6: a lot more people that are interested in disengagement from

1085
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 6: forever wars and want to focus instead on domestic policy.

1086
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 6: So I think that that is one place where we

1087
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 6: can absolutely make an appeal. And you know the appeal

1088
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 6: that Jill, you know, sort of framed and I'll be

1089
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 6: bun about this. Like my grandfather, Rudolph Where Senior he

1090
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 6: never so, yeah, I go by Butch, but I'm actually

1091
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 6: Rudolf where the third, you know, my grandfather from Georgia,

1092
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 6: your father grew up in DC.

1093
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 3: My son is also Rudolph, you know. So we got

1094
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 3: four of them.

1095
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 6: But Rudolph Senior never would have voted for Democrats because

1096
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 6: he didn't like that culture of dependency, going with your

1097
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 6: hand out. He was somebody that did things for himself.

1098
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 6: So the idea of saying we can cut your personal

1099
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 6: income taxes, we can cut your small business taxes because

1100
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 6: we're gonna make billionaires pay their fair share, and we'll

1101
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 6: stop taking money out of your pocket and handle it

1102
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 6: handing it to raytheon by laundering it through genocides, right,

1103
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 6: that we feel that that is something that will appeal

1104
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 6: to people, you know, not just on the right, but

1105
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 6: like people that are not thinking about voting at all.

1106
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 6: That this is actually a really, really crucial point, and

1107
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 6: it is one place where Team Blue is absolutely speeding

1108
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 6: us towards World War three more rapidly than Team Red.

1109
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 6: Is Okay, Team Red might be speeding us towards a

1110
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 6: kind of societal collapse.

1111
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 3: Right and fast. Exactly what.

1112
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 6: No, No, But the thing is is that the truth

1113
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 6: of the matter is is that imperialism and fascism are

1114
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,479
Speaker 6: two sides of the same coin. One is the side

1115
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 6: that faces outwards and the other is the side that

1116
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 6: faces inward. And I made a social media post before

1117
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 6: I got brought onto the team that said it this way,

1118
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 6: is that whether you vote Team Read or Team Blue,

1119
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 6: militarized fascism wins because the APAK and the weapons manufacturers

1120
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 6: are patrons of both networks. And just to return to

1121
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 6: that point, right, I've been on campuses. I organized a

1122
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 6: Palestini liberation concert on October twenty first, I organized a

1123
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 6: Black and Palestinian solidarity panel at my local Mosque on

1124
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 6: October eleventh, four days after like your brother was not

1125
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 6: backing down, and the Zionist came from my job within

1126
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 6: the month. Okay, and you know, a Negro still standing.

1127
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 6: So but the point of all that is just to

1128
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 6: say that when we launched this campaign to try to

1129
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 6: actually bring people into this conversation, you see that this

1130
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 6: is actually where the American people stand in The American

1131
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 6: people do not want this forever war and they do

1132
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,959
Speaker 6: not one militarized fascists coming to their campuses to crack

1133
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 6: kids heads open.

1134
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 3: I had to stand out in front of the encampment.

1135
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 6: And that's democratic governor in in in California, that's Democrat.

1136
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 6: Uh you know mayors in places like New York City.

1137
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 6: It's Democrats that are running cop cities. So the thing

1138
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 6: is is bro fascism is already here. It's just that

1139
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 6: one of it is like fascism and the other is fascism.

1140
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 3: But the truth is that the purple fascists, the purple.

1141
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 6: Imperialist Team Red and Team Blue are run by the

1142
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 6: same funders, and who funds you runs you. So there's

1143
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 6: a there's a discourse about putting off fascism, but the

1144
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 6: reality is is that fascism was already here because we

1145
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 6: already can't speak freely.

1146
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: We already have.

1147
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 6: People university presidents losing their job under democratic regimes. We

1148
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 6: already have kids that are lining up for people peaceful

1149
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 6: protests having their heads knocked open. Or you have the

1150
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 6: cops standing to the side at u c l A.

1151
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 6: So the thugs can can can knock kids heads open.

1152
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 3: So so I'm sorry. The fear Margaret ain't gonna work

1153
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 3: on me.

1154
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 7: The only the only thing that I would say to

1155
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 7: you is, I think is very dangerous rhetoric to say

1156
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 7: they're two sides of the same coin.

1157
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 8: I do think it's important for us to understand democrats. Yea,

1158
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 8: I think it's well, I think it's dangerous to all

1159
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 8: of us. Actually, I don't have that press.

1160
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 7: I understand we do on a lot, but we also

1161
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 7: agree on a lot. But here's one thing I think

1162
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 7: we can't agree on. Either you win or lose this selection.

1163
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 8: There's really no in.

1164
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 7: Between, doctor sign. In two thousand and two, you ran

1165
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 7: for governor of Massachusetts and you lost. In two thousand

1166
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 7: and four, you ran for state representative in Massachusetts and

1167
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 7: you lost.

1168
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 8: In two thousand and six, you ran for Secretary of

1169
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 8: the Commonwealth. You also lost.

1170
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 7: In twenty ten, you ran for governor again, this time

1171
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 7: against the first black governor in Massachusetts, Deval Patrick.

1172
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 8: You lost.

1173
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 7: In twenty twelve, you ran against this country's first black

1174
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 7: president with and you got just less than one half

1175
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 7: of one percent of total votes cast. In twenty sixteen,

1176
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:50,959
Speaker 7: you ran against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, losing uh significantly,

1177
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 7: with one point four million votes cast for you but

1178
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 7: zero Electoral College votes, which I agree with y'all needs

1179
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 7: to be abolished. But one hundred and thirty six million

1180
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 7: people voted and you lost that election as well. So

1181
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 7: I want to know what the pathway to victory is

1182
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 7: for you at twenty four can't be.

1183
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 5: I'd like to yeh want can I respond? But I

1184
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 5: would like to respond. This is the framing of the

1185
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 5: empire and the oligarchy and white supremacy and colonialism, which

1186
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 5: wants you to feel that resistance is futile. This is

1187
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 5: about voter blaming me. No not.

1188
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 7: What you're not going to say is that I'm ever

1189
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 7: perading anything at the hands of white supremacy.

1190
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 8: This is something that's very different. This is me asking

1191
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 8: you again. It's a buy.

1192
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 7: I'm just pulling out that it is either talking the

1193
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 7: same talking points, get talking to. This is not DNC

1194
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 7: talking points. This is my research and so for you,

1195
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 7: the research says you have never won an election. You

1196
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 7: have been successful in pushing forward certain agendas, advocate.

1197
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 5: One in order to win. You know, a journey of

1198
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 5: a thousand miles begins with one step, and in this case.

1199
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 8: It's many steps.

1200
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 5: Let me point out, let me point out. Please, you

1201
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 5: need to compare the Green Party not with those who

1202
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 5: are taking money from Apex and the War Machine and

1203
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 5: Wall Street. You've got to compare us, excuse me, you

1204
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 5: have to compare us to other grassrooms.

1205
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 8: Non we need she said, that's what that was.

1206
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 5: May I please let's please finish, please, thank you. You're

1207
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 5: trying to compare us to the Democratic Party and the

1208
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 5: Republican Party with their billions of dollars, or to the

1209
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 5: Working f Party, which is not under attack as a

1210
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 5: people powered party, not taking money from Wall Street or

1211
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 5: the war machine or a pack we are on very

1212
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 5: different turf. But if you compare us to all other

1213
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 5: similar parties which are not taking corporate money, which are

1214
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 5: not bought and paid for, which can stand up against

1215
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 5: endless war, against homelessness, against the climate crisis, against the

1216
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 5: housing and the healthcare crisis. Campaigns like us who can

1217
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 5: actually stand up for the people. They last exactly one

1218
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 5: to two election cycles and then they're gone. So we

1219
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 5: are actually strong, the pillar of strength among people powered politics.

1220
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 5: And what have we done over that period. We have

1221
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 5: established the Green Party as the vehicle for people powered politics.

1222
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 5: We have also launched the agenda which has been adopted

1223
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 5: by the Progressive Democrats given lip service, not actually advanced.

1224
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 5: But whether you're looking at healthcare as a human right

1225
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 5: launched by Ralph Nader as a national issue, reparations launched

1226
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 5: by our campaign as a national issue in twenty twelve,

1227
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 5: if you look at free public higher education, bailing out

1228
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 5: students and ending student debt, you had Congress bailing out

1229
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 5: the crooks on Wall Street who crashed the economy, but

1230
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 5: not bailing out homeowners, not bailing out students. That agenda

1231
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 5: was launched by us. So I think it's not fair,

1232
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 5: and it is the talking point of AOC the other

1233
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 5: day who is taking her marching orders from the DNC.

1234
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 5: This is exactly what they say that we are only

1235
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 5: running for president.

1236
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 7: Color as parenting talking points instead of us looking at

1237
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 7: basic math. The one thing that AOC has done that

1238
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 7: you haven't is win some elections. And so when I'm

1239
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 7: asking you, but what I'm trying any elections, that is

1240
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 7: one point. If you want to tell me this, let's

1241
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 7: talk about it more good question. If you want to

1242
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 7: talk about you can do that, not by running necessarily

1243
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 7: for president. Douglas says power, it's not Secretaria of the Commonwealth,

1244
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 7: candidate as a gubernatorial candidate, as a president. Instead of

1245
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 7: telling me, I'm parting white supremacist talking so I can

1246
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 7: tell you to hear the facts, I can tell you

1247
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 7: the numbers are not on your side.

1248
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely remarks yes you know on your campaign, and then

1249
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 4: the honorable Angelo ri.

1250
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 8: You can with your I've asked my questions.

1251
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 3: Okay.

1252
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 5: So, as Frederick Douglas said, power concedes nothing without a demand.

1253
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 5: It never hasn't, it never will. Like so many other Greens,

1254
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 5: I came from the world of social activism. I spent

1255
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 5: decades upon decades fighting for healthcare as a human right,

1256
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 5: for racially just redistricting, which we actually succeeded in, for

1257
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 5: getting big money out of politics, and creating a public

1258
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 5: financing system, which we actually succeeded in Massachusetts until the

1259
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 5: Democratic legislature came in and invalidated the people's referendum, which

1260
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 5: had won by a two to one margin. They validated

1261
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 5: it on a voice vote and refused to provide the

1262
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 5: funding for it. I saw our movements being beaten back

1263
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 5: by the power of the political power of corporations and

1264
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 5: billionaires operating through the Democratic and Republican parties. I saw

1265
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 5: that over and over again, we are not making incremental

1266
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 5: progress forward. We're actually taking rather major steps backwards.

1267
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Right now.

1268
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 5: You know, the disparities, racial disparities, black and white disparities

1269
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 5: are actually not better at all than they were in

1270
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 5: nineteen sixty in spite of all the you know, hard

1271
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 5: work and the lip service that's been given to racial

1272
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 5: justice and racial equality. You know, in Boston, in the

1273
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 5: Massachusetts area, the average household wealth of the African American

1274
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 5: family is eight dollars considering debt. The average wealth of

1275
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 5: the Caucasian family is a quarter million dollars. And this

1276
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 5: is not unusual. This is where we are. We are stuck.

1277
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 5: If you looked at the footage from the floor of

1278
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 5: the DNC, what you could see were the corpse at

1279
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 5: suites which started at half a million dollars each and

1280
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 5: went up to five million dollars. This is the money

1281
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 5: running the DNC, running the Republican National Committee as well.

1282
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 5: These parties have been bought and paid for. They really

1283
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 5: do not have wiggle room. We're not going to fix

1284
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 5: this around the margins. We need to stand up and

1285
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 5: build a coalition. This was my experience as an organizer,

1286
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 5: a successful organizer on these many issues that I just

1287
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 5: ran through. How did we do that? You do it

1288
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 5: by building coalitions. But if your coalitions are only there

1289
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 5: for the moment, you know what, you can get the

1290
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 5: bill passed like we did with the public funding of elections,

1291
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 5: but they're going to tear it down. Then you need

1292
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 5: your coalition to be to remain in power and to

1293
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 5: remain effective so that you're fighting to maintain your victories.

1294
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 5: So what I see us having done since I first

1295
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 5: was tricked into running for office in two thousand, running

1296
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 5: for governor. I was tricked into running for office because

1297
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 5: I saw we were failing over and over and over

1298
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 5: again on our aspirations for you know, for racial justice,

1299
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,439
Speaker 5: to fight white supremacy, to fight police violence, which also

1300
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 5: is getting worse year by year to fight for health care.

1301
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 5: You know, the health disparities between African American and white

1302
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 5: population is about three years three years of life taken

1303
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 5: away from African Americans. And that's before you add in

1304
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 5: the disparities in economic education. If you factor in education

1305
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 5: disparities as well, that three years grows to ten years

1306
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 5: a decade taken off the lives of most African Americans.

1307
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 5: To me, this was just unacceptable. I could not sit

1308
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 5: there and take it over and over again, especially after

1309
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 5: the Democrats reversed our achievements to get at the core problem,

1310
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 5: which is the corruption of money in politics, we solve

1311
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 5: that and they basically tore that solution to shreds. I

1312
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 5: could not stand there. That's when I got recruited to

1313
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 5: run for office because I began to realize this is

1314
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 5: about building coalitions. That doesn't happen overnight. It takes a

1315
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 5: lot of education, it takes a lot of work. And

1316
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 5: so I ran in that first race for governor, challenging

1317
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 5: actually Mitt Romney, who was running for governor on the

1318
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 5: Republican ticket. And you know what, we had to fight

1319
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 5: our weight to get into a televised debate, but we

1320
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 5: did succeed because the turnout was huge in you know,

1321
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 5: in the rallies that were demanding to open up the debates,

1322
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 5: and that debate was opened up on one occasion, and

1323
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 5: that took place in a TV studio. There was no

1324
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 5: live audience to like read, so it was just you know,

1325
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 5: speaking to the other people in the room, small number

1326
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 5: of people, uh the you know, the guy behind the

1327
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 5: camera and so on, and my the Green Party's proposals,

1328
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 5: which we've run through several times, went over like a

1329
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 5: lead balloon inside of that TV studio, and I walked

1330
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 5: out of there thinking, oh, well, at least I tried.

1331
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 5: But when I walked out, I was mobbed by the

1332
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 5: press who told me that I had won the instant

1333
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 5: online viewer poll, which we didn't even know was going on.

1334
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 5: And to me, that was like a revelation that, oh,

1335
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 5: my god, people actually agree with us. We don't need

1336
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 5: to change people's minds. People's minds have been changed by

1337
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 5: the desperate state of our economy, by you know, the

1338
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 5: incredible injustices, by the police state that we're living in,

1339
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 5: et cetera. And it wasn't nearly as bad back then,

1340
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 5: in the year two thousand and two. So we at

1341
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 5: that point as like a curtain went up for me

1342
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 5: and I saw, oh my god, this is not a

1343
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 5: matter of having to change people's minds. People are already there.

1344
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 5: It's just the people are denied knowing that there are

1345
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 5: options that actually empower us.

1346
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: So that's your website for people want thank.

1347
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 5: You it is it is Jill Stein twenty four dot com.

1348
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 5: And yes, check us out because this election is full

1349
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 5: of what shall we say, one eighties and unexpected developments,

1350
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 5: and we the people deserve to be heard. We are

1351
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 5: demanding to be heard, and we potentially have the power

1352
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 5: if only the Vote to Stop Genocide stood up to

1353
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 5: say I will not hold my vote, my my nose

1354
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 5: and vote for genocide. That vote, or the eighty seven

1355
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 5: million people who do not have adequate healthcare, or the

1356
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 5: fifty percent of renters who are struggling, who are just

1357
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 5: one or two paychecks away from being evicted and being

1358
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 5: out in the street, if those people stand up to

1359
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 5: vote for what we actually can have right now, this

1360
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 5: election will be turned on its head. And if we

1361
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 5: don't get to the White House, but we start on

1362
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 5: the road to the White House, that too is a

1363
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 5: huge win. So I really encourage people to follow the

1364
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 5: words of Alice Walker. The biggest way we give up

1365
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 5: power is by not recognizing that we have it. This

1366
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 5: is the conversation that the Democrats, the Republicans, the oligarchs,

1367
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 5: the warmongers, they do not want you to hear this.

1368
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 5: They do not want you to know that we have power.

1369
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 5: We have the power if we are willing to stand

1370
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,560
Speaker 5: up and demand it. And in the face of the genocide,

1371
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 5: it is a new coalition is being forged. It's being

1372
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:59,759
Speaker 5: forged in this era of blood and destruction and world crisis.

1373
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 5: A new coalition is being formed to stand up for

1374
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 5: peace and justice. The institutional supports are coming out of

1375
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 5: the woodwork in a way that we have never seen before.

1376
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 5: This is my third race. We've never seen anything like it.

1377
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 5: And the mobilization of the Arab American and the Muslim

1378
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 5: American communities is a real example of a community that

1379
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 5: is standing up with the incredible courage of their convictions

1380
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 5: to say we deserve better. We deserve an America in

1381
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 5: a world that works for all of us that is

1382
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 5: within our reach if we demand it.

1383
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen.

1384
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Doctor Jistin, thank you so much.

1385
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 8: To be a debate.

1386
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: But it was good.

1387
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 5: It was It was great, great, It's.

1388
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club, good morning, wake that ass up in

1389
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 1: the morning club, Breakfast Club,
