00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: I've jade the last couple of weeks of Joseph ar

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Biden President Joseph ar Biden. Has it been a couple

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: of weeks? Has been a month? It has happened so fast.

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: Him getting out of the Buick, leaving the you know

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: that's a joke that I said. You know he's riding

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventy six Buwick. Him getting out of

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: the buick, changing this entire race has been a whirlwind.

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: We've talked about the zoom calls that they've had were

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: welcoming Harris as the potential nominee. She is now according

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: to the votes from the from the delegates that that

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: did a phone vote, is she has enough delicates to

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: actually be the nominee, but we won't see that actually

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: take place officially until the DNC convention in Chicago, which

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: I'll be there by the by the way, so that'll

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. But so much has happened

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, from the Black Women call,

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: the Black Men call, the White Dudes call, the White

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: women call, the Latino called, the Indian American calls, the

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: wind with the Black Church that call was the other.

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 3: Day, and cat Ladies for Harris, and they also had

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: comedians for Harris as well.

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm wondering if you think Pliz can get

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: hip hop for Harris. I wonder how many in a

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: hip hop community we would gather, Yeah, that'd be interested

33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: to see who will be interested actually putting their name

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: on the line. So it's just been a big whirlwind.

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, we've been waiting to know who the VP

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: pick was. I think the VP pick definitely through some

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: people off. People already kind of had it their mind

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: for Pennsylvania Governor Sapiro I did. I think I thought

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: that's what she might pick, just because you know how

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I feel, and anybody listened to the show, you know

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: how I feel about Swing States. That's all I've been

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: talking about. That's all. I'm gonna keep talking about swing state,

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Swing say, Swing say. I'm not that confident in Michigan.

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: We know that we're recording this on Wednesday, and we

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: know that she's in Michigan right now, literally while we're

46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: recording this in Detroit. So good to see some you know,

47
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: energy in that area. But I'm just not comfortable about Michigan.

48
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: And even if we look at just as a side note,

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the VP pick, but just to

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: look at, you know, Hill Harper's race on yesterday that

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: he was not successful Slotkin, who he ran against three

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four thousand votes. Harper did eighty seven thousand,

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of his efforts was focused

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: on Detroit. And so that you know how I kept

55
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: talking over and over about the several different constituencies in

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: Michigan that we have to pay attention to. One the

57
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: labor union, who's been pissed, you know, because of they

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: went on strike, you know, not feeling they have the support. Inflation,

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, affected them a lot. You have the students

60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: of Michigan State and there's a lot of young voters

61
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: that they organized around, that we organized around when we

62
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: worked on the ground in twenty fifteen. They still want

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: college debt relief. They're also upset because of the war

64
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: on Gaza is the Palestinian and the Gaza situation. They're

65
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: upset about that. You have, obviously Rashiita Talib who won

66
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: also last night unopposed. Nobody even raised their hand to

67
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: run against her. So when I'm seeing all these conversations

68
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: about apac apac a PAK, they come after everybody. Whatever

69
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: she just leave is their greatest threat. She is the loudest,

70
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: the most vocal, and also the most effective with organizing

71
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: a ceasefire. She's done that in Michigan with a hundred thout,

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: getting a hundred thousand people to go to the polls,

73
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: and nobody even raised their hand. And it wasn't because

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: a PAK wasn't looking for nobody to run against her,

75
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: because they were. They were literally telling people, I'll drop

76
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: twenty thirty forty million, just like they did in twenty

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: twenty two, and she was successful. So that is obviously

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: a very strong demographic that is not pleased. At least

79
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: they weren't pleased with the Biden administration. Now look like

80
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: they kind of I don't know if they own Pauls.

81
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: They waiting to see what she gonna do. I don't know.

82
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: But the Biden Harris administration is very similar to Harris administration.

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: But we'll see how that all plays out. So that's

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: that's one issue. And then I talked about the black voters,

85
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, wanting to see how involved they were, how

86
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: engaged or where. Obviously this was not a presidential election yesterday,

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: it was a primary, but still it kind of gives

88
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: us an indication of people's appetite, you know, for voting.

89
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: All of those things said, I'm not that I'm not

90
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: that confident in Michigan for Democrats, but you know, we

91
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: shall see. But I'm tilling all those demographics. So I

92
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: thought that that picking Governor Sapiro would be a good plus,

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: you know for Philadelphia being a state that they needed.

94
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he can guarantee get it, but he does

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: have a sixty one percent favorability rate. He can still

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: try to deliver the state. But it is different when

97
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: your governor's running. It is different. The energy there is

98
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: going to be much different, the investment is going to

99
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: be much different. To send their governor to the White House,

100
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: so I thought she was gonna go with him, but

101
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: she did not. She went with Governor Wats from Minnesota.

102
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: And already there's been a lot of positive Progressives are excited.

103
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: They feel as if they got some type of concession.

104
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Not really sure how because he feels the same way.

105
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: His position is very similar to Sapiro when it comes

106
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: to support of Israel. But I do know they did

107
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: not like the comments that Governor Sapiro made about, you know,

108
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: comparing protesters to the KKK, and I think, you know,

109
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: they were really hung up on that. That was a

110
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: big thing. But but if Governor Wall still supports the war,

111
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess language now is okay. I guess

112
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: it's all a matter of the language. I guess, you know,

113
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. But progressors definitely looked at it as

114
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: something to celebrate. So now, based on how progressors have responded, Jay,

115
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: this is now a we got a progressive on the ballot,

116
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: so of course, and they're literally saying it, guys, be

117
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: proud you did this. You progressives did this. So the

118
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: right loves it. They love it. They love nothing more

119
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: than running against anything that is perceived as far left.

120
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: So now they're pushing that narrative out.

121
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 3: What's your thoughts we in my opinion, just generally speaking

122
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: about progressives, I mean, I think that they are a

123
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: pretty much a minority within a Democratic Party. I will

124
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: say that I do see that the Minnesota Governor Tim

125
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: Wallace is being painted by the right as a communist.

126
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: I'm wondering how this news is gonna go over. There

127
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: were some financial disclosures from government. Tim Wallas, who is

128
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: VP Harrison's running mate we're talking about it, says that

129
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: he owns no stocks, he owns no bonds, he owns

130
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: no real estate. And so I'm wondering how that, you know,

131
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: how that will be received by business owners, entrepreneurs, etc.

132
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: And folks who are really really big one big business

133
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: and follow the economy.

134
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: We see that his you know way before, we just

135
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: won't pass that you had. Let's stop there and deal

136
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: with that. So most business owners are broke. Like being

137
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: a business owner just saying I'm a business owner. That

138
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: don't mean I'm rich. It don't mean I have extra

139
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: disposed with income for real estate or extra dispposed income

140
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: for stock. Most business owner, which I was having one

141
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: on our colleagues today Michelle about entrepreneurship is like, why

142
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: does this have to be so hard? It's hard most

143
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: business owners, especially small business owners, they're not large enough

144
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: to have. And I'm not saying him, but you're saying

145
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: how with that land? And I don't know about him

146
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 1: and what he's at access to and being a governor,

147
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: I know, being elected officials, you know, a lot of

148
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: times hard for them to do business outside of you know,

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: because everything they do is scrutinize. I can't speak for him,

150
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: but I can certainly speak on what it means to

151
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: be self employed in the Midwest for the last and

152
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: in the South sometime. In the South for the last

153
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: seventeen years. I've won Orlando Business Journal twice. I've sat

154
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: on two boards African American Chamber of Commerce Ambassador for

155
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: Central Florida, also the Central Florida the Central Florida Regional Chamber,

156
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: the Young Professional Committee, an ambassador chairs there. And last

157
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: year I won twenty twenty three US Department of Commerce

158
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Minority Entrepreneur of the Year. So it's pretty much established

159
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: that I'm a business owner and I can tell you

160
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: I absolutely relate to that. Absolutely. I don't have stocks,

161
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't have bonds, stocks and bonds. I'm trying to

162
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: make payroll. I had three hundred employees in Orlando. I

163
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: didn't have extra resource. That's when people get confused by

164
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: business owners. Like most business owners are broke because they

165
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: try to make payroll. They trying to pay taxes. They're

166
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: robing Peter to pay Paul. Like, that's the reality of

167
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: a business, which is why over fifty sixty percent of

168
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: business owners actually go out of business to actually be

169
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: in business, you know, and get a contract and self sustain,

170
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: especially if you single, or if you got kids or

171
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, that that that's actually pretty pretty relatable.

172
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: And his career he's spent being a teacher. Teachers don't

173
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: make no money. He's a teacher for thirty years.

174
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: Well, so he's living on his pension from being a teacher.

175
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: And just so we're clear, his current salary as a

176
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: governor is one hundred and twenty seven thousand, six hundred

177
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: and twenty nine dollars a year.

178
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money.

179
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: And he opted out not to accept the race last

180
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: year that would have that would have increased his salary

181
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: to one hundred and forty nine thousand, five hundred and

182
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: fifty dollars.

183
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: So we got a whole governor that's making a hundred

184
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: that Oh yeah, that's relatable as hell. Jay, I was

185
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: surround you to say out a good load. Yeah, that's

186
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: what label's hell. One hundred and twenty five thousand. Even

187
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: when I had three hundred employees, I didn't bring that home.

188
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: I had a payroll of fifty to sixty thousand a month,

189
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: but I didn't keep any of that that went out

190
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: to actually paid. I'm done better independent, you know, like

191
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: going to get a job for maybe one hundred and

192
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: fifty thousand as a comm person, and I've ever done

193
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: for a business owner, but sure, especially in the government,

194
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: so he's not used to a high salary. That absolutely relates.

195
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: One hundreds of five thousand iss not a lot, especially

196
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: to be the governor. Commission fifty is sixty thousand dollars

197
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: like public service. Don't add to tell that to our colleague,

198
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: our mutual colleague today. Well, I thought if I won,

199
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: I would be able to parlay, parlay what you was

200
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: gonna make twenty thousand dollar? What do you think it

201
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: was about the parlay? Are you watch? Was you watching

202
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: scandal or something? There wasn't gonna be some major lifestyle change.

203
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: Parlaying your government position is called actually called a felony,

204
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: which is what Donald Trump is in trouble for. Like

205
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: there's no I don't know what you thought this was

206
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: or some you know, I'm gonna be in government and

207
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm the millionaires that are in Congress and Senate senators

208
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: because all of them are millionaires. They were millionaires before

209
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: they ran. They made their their wealth and their money.

210
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: They actually say you should do that, that you should

211
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: make your wealth and get your money somewhere else before

212
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: you get into public service, because when you do, everything

213
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: will be scrutinized. Everything you do will be looked at.

214
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: You obviously know there's a candidate that you know that

215
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: I have supported, and I'm very an elected official. I'm

216
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: very disappointed and what's going on with her now? Won't

217
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: say any names, but she's about to go to jail.

218
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: You know, behind using somebody's name for a house loan.

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: You gonn watch she had to do that if she

220
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: did do it allegedly, she said she didn't. She said

221
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: the woman gave her permission. But because she doesn't make

222
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: any money, she makes fifty thousand dollars a year.

223
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: Her credit is bad.

224
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: All of her time is spent serving that district. She

225
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: needed a co signer in her sixties. This is the

226
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: reality of being a public servant that people be thinking

227
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: getting twisted. They think it's some Now Congress, you make

228
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five thousand in Congress. I believe

229
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: that's a salary. There are perks, there are certain things

230
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: you might be able to get. You try to help

231
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: your family if you can. We see what that happened

232
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: with Corey Busch, don't we When she hired her boyfriend

233
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: at security they and he actually did security. That was

234
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: one of the ads that they put out about her,

235
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: saying she's trying to hire her family. So, yeah, one

236
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: hundred thousand ain't no money you in DC. You should

237
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: know that.

238
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I definitely know that.

239
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about the voters, especially like Republican voters or

240
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: voters who are independent but typically lean read but are

241
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: tied of Trump that would possibly be open to voting

242
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: for Kamala Harris.

243
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: I was I was just.

244
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: Thinking about that demographic, or an elitist demographic. Less She's

245
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: go ahead and say folks who do have money and

246
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: who are a big one those.

247
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Of the people that already may not be on their

248
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: side because they're talking about having people pay their fair share,

249
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: so that the Democrats platform is not about being rich.

250
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: Democrats platform is to them the working man, which Trump

251
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: and them have taken that now and they say they're

252
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: looking at for the working man, but actually it's for

253
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: the rich. So nobody's trying to recruit the rich. That's

254
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's not the they're trying to They're positioning

255
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: him as coach. Coach Waltz, you know, been a public

256
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: serving his whole life. If he wasn't serving in school,

257
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: he was serving as a veteran, an honorable man. You know.

258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: I want to get to that veteran piece and just

259
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: the moment test, but I also want to add one

260
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: more point about this financial piece. In twenty nineteen, Walls

261
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: and his wife sold their home in Macato, Minnesota, for

262
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars after they purchased the

263
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: home in nineteen ninety seven, and at that time they

264
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: purchased it four hundred and forty five thousand, So they

265
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 3: sold their home. They made a profit off of it,

266
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: of course, and since then they've moved into the governor's mansion.

267
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: So they also don't own any real estate, and so

268
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: they're definitely definitely branding him as a blue collar worker.

269
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you must think I'm a leaders or something, because

270
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: before we started the show, when you was like, yeah,

271
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: but you're a really girl. I'm bro I'm the working man.

272
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm broke, you.

273
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: Know how much up to I'm all for the I'm

274
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: well for the workingman.

275
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: My dad, you know, I come from a very blue

276
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: collar labor union household. But I'm also thinking, I'm just

277
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 3: thinking about these swing voters, right, folks who are probably

278
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: in the middle, who may not Those are.

279
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: People that don't have money though they are the working man.

280
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: That's why they thought he would be good, having come

281
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: on with his little hunting had and that's why Joe.

282
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: That's why Joe Biden was brought to the ticket in

283
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight because Barack Obama presented the college,

284
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: the attorney, the elite, if you will, or the whatever,

285
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden was, hey, let's sit down, let's have

286
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: a beer. He's doing That's exactly what the assignment is

287
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: supposed to do. Okay, got working class guy. Even though

288
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: Joe wasn't technically working class, but he presented as that,

289
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, hey, let's have a beer. In the Midwest,

290
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: those swing states, not a lot of money, didn't come

291
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: from much, you hear Midwest. You know, Ah, my father

292
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: worked in the steel mial. I always joke about that

293
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: because who was the candidate on the Republican side that

294
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: ended up getting a ran for president got in trouble

295
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: for having an affair with his wife when she had cancer,

296
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: Johnny it Wards. Oh I remember that with and yeah,

297
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: John Edwards. He's always saying this speech. My dad worked

298
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: in the steel mills, you know, right here in the middle.

299
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Like it's always about working in the steel mills. And

300
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: that's one reason why I get offended when people think

301
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: that Oklahoma City is in the South. It's not as Midwest.

302
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: Depending on who you ask, they'll say they may say

303
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: the South, but it's certainly not the deep South. Or

304
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: they may say the West, or they may say with Midwest.

305
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: But Oklahoma's in the center of the country. Is why

306
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: they call it the heartland. It's in the center of

307
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: the country, and it is very much Midwest values of

308
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: the Missouri, the Michigan, the you know, all of that area.

309
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: It is not Texas. It is not Louisiana. It is

310
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: very in Oklahoma City. The only thing you knew to

311
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: grow up to do was either go serve in the military.

312
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: That's all they had. It was either serving the military,

313
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: work at GM you know, a government job at GM.

314
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Our certain military are get caught up in the streets

315
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: in the nineties and sell dope like that. That was

316
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: the option then it wasn't. So it's very Midwest. It's

317
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: not the Bible Belt, but very similar to the routine.

318
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Was my dad's side of the family Catholic, because you know,

319
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: everybody in Louisiana's Catholic, and so they came they migrated

320
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: from Louisiana. So it was all about go to math.

321
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: And you know, my grandfather served two tours, you know,

322
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: on the military, and he worked at the post office.

323
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: It was all about getting a good job in the

324
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: post office. My grandmother worked. He has a school bus

325
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: driver and the cafeteria lady. That was always about the

326
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: other side of my family, my mom's side, two entrepreneurs.

327
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: My grandmother always had her own beauty shop, my grandfather

328
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: always had his own mechanic shop. Christian the Christian side

329
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: church three times on Sunday Sunday school, never missed main

330
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: service and BTU at six o'clock prayer meeting on Wednesday,

331
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: never missed, and something on Saturday. She was the church

332
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: secretary as well. She was a deacon s he was

333
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: a deacon. They both were in you know, both ushers

334
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: all of that. Those our Midwestern modery, conservative like value.

335
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: So anytime what's happening in swing states and particularly or

336
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: when people are trying to win over, it's always a

337
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: battle for those voters those votes.

338
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: Okay, gotcha, I was sticking the opposite. You know, Folks

339
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: who are trying to move up the ladder financially or

340
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: or move between socioeconomic classes are typically the swing voters,

341
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

342
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: But they're struggling, they can't move up, so they identify

343
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: with somebody that hasn't made a lot of money. They

344
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: identified with somebody Trump has done very well with coming

345
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: from money, but pretending as if he doesn't he he

346
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: didn't get it out the mud. HM. So when Harris

347
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: and Walters are talking about, hey, Harris was actually raised

348
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: by single mother. Barack Obama raised by single money. They're

349
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: showing the values that you're typically gonna see on the

350
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: on the left side. But Republicans have that to those

351
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: rural voters. So Walts is able to come in and

352
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: have that conversation over a beer. Let me put on

353
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: my I'm a fisher, you know, a hunter, Let me

354
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: put on that. Now of a sudden, Democrats is pushing

355
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, which is hilarious because you know, they

356
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: normally don't talk about that, but they're literally now selling

357
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: hunter hats that has walls. Did you see it? That

358
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: has walls and Paris and it's the Hunter hat. You

359
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: would never have seen that in that But they realized

360
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: they have to pull some of those voters. Those are

361
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: those I don't really like Trump, but I will if

362
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: I need to, but I need something I can relate to.

363
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: He is absolutely that military working in the school forever.

364
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: Don't make a lot of money, only trying to take

365
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, just service service service. I don't need a raise,

366
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: give it back to the state as long as I'm

367
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: able to keep a roof over my head and food

368
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: in my family, you know, pocket And I'm good that

369
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: Democratic leaders you're talking about money, education, Princeton, all of that.

370
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: That the swing voter is exactly who Walts is in

371
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: the Midwest and those Midwestern states.

372
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: Thank you for clarifying that.

373
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: Now, the other thing you brought up that I do

374
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: want to extrapolate on a bit is that Walts is

375
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: a military veteran, but so is JD.

376
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: Vance.

377
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: And the story circulating that JD. Vance reopened a line

378
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 3: of attack into Walls's military record as the two are

379
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: now buying to be vice president.

380
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: And what is that? Because I saw that run across

381
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: the Tika? What is that?

382
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 3: So basically JD. Vance accused Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas of

383
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: dodging service in I Rock, claiming without evidence that Walls

384
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: abandoned his unit to run for Congress in two thousand

385
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: and five, and so these false claims were about combat service.

386
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 3: Vance alleged that Walls falsely portrayed his military service, suggesting

387
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: he claimed to have served in a combat zone while

388
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 3: in the Army National Guard. Walts actually did serve twenty

389
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 3: four years in the Army National Guard and retired in

390
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: May of two thousand and five, just two months before

391
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: his unit received alert orders to.

392
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: To deploy to Iraq.

393
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 3: So this is a story or narrative that's going viral,

394
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 3: But these are unfounded claims, and the timeline does not

395
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: actually line up with reality.

396
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: It's something that you know, which.

397
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: One don't line up what Vance is saying or what.

398
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: It doesn't line up with? What Advancing.

399
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Are you saying? You think Vance live, what are you

400
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: making playing?

401
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely yeah, Advance falsely accused Tim WALLSIP of of abandon

402
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: naing his unit to run for Congress in two thousand

403
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: and five, right months before you know, his unit was

404
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: deployed to Iraq. Walts had already retired after serving twenty

405
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: four years in the Army National Guard. So it's completely unfounded.

406
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: So well, let's going to get us in debate.

407
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking as we're talking, I'm looking at the ticker

408
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: now and saying Vance a text Wallas record as two

409
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: veterans by for VP. So yeah, that's gonna be interesting.

410
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: I bet the Well I do, like the Wats, know

411
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: how to cast some clack backs. You know, they need

412
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: somebody on the team to got some clapbacks, So Advance

413
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: the Well. So that's gonna be it's gonna be interested

414
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: in watching that debate.

415
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 3: We just wanted to also point out that I just

416
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: said that Wall served twenty four years you know, of

417
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: service in the Army National Guard. But just to compare

418
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: his record in the military to JD.

419
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: Vance.

420
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: JD Vance served four years in the Marine Corps as

421
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 3: a combat correspondent, deploying to Arrive for about six months

422
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 3: before leaving as a corporal in two thousand and seven. So,

423
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 3: you know, I do like the fact that both of

424
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: these candidates are veterans. But yeah, let's just tell the

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: truth about people's records. So, of course the Dems and

426
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 3: Republicans are going to go back and forth on that point.

427
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: The White House has already responded. Press Secretary Karine and

428
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: Jean Pierre defended Walls, highlighting his long service and background

429
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: as a teacher and coach, stating his record also in

430
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: the military speaks for itself.

431
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Well, it ain't be speaking for itself. He need to

432
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: speak for it and they need to do it. As

433
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: the At the debate, and I'm looking forward to it.

434
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: Trump said that he I guess he will be debate

435
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: and he said, I don't know. He really may not.

436
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm looking forward to it. They

437
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: said it to be in September, so I'm looking forward.

438
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: To it.

439
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I could beat one thing that JD. Evance

440
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: would bring up in the debate, is Tim Watts's wife

441
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: when is getting a lot of pushback and criticism for

442
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: a comment that she made during an interview that she

443
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: kept her windows open during the George Floyd riots to

444
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: smell burning tires.

445
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: Did you hear about that test?

446
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: I heard about that. I haven't looked that up to

447
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: see if that's true or not. But actually didn't make

448
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: that statement.

449
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 3: But she was saying that she thought that it was

450
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: a monumental moment in our country's history, but not that

451
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: she was, you know, celebrating the riots. I didn't get

452
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: that impression from that statement. But it's something that folks

453
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: should look at for themselves and make their own determination.

454
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: I know that it is not going well on the right.

455
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is to make a determination about.

456
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what does she like to smell of tires?

457
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: I mean, she's not the governor. I mean, I guess,

458
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, I don't know. If they want

459
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: to find whatever they want to find, that that's fine.

460
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: I will say hearing the things that he's actually done,

461
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: the free lunch, and I will say, with working on

462
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: the George Floyd, you know that's a matter. I talk

463
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: about it all the time, way before I knew Wals

464
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: that any of this was going to happen. So this

465
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: ain't me cappin for no Walts. You know how I

466
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: feel about George Floyd's family that has become family to me.

467
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: And I do know had he not appointed Keith Ellison

468
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: and taking it out of local and allowed the state

469
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: attorney to do what he did and then Keith Ellison

470
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: brought in assigned special prosecutors, I just don't believe Derek

471
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: Shovin would have been convicted. So I just I like

472
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: how that was handled. And there's some misinformation about that.

473
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: So every time somebody bring up tires and opening up

474
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: the window, I'm gonna bring up, you know, the fact

475
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: that had he not had his leadership that I don't

476
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: believe uh Shavin would have been convicted. So yeah, you

477
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: know that, that's to me what's the most important. And

478
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: in addition to that, some of the most progressive police

479
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: reform policies have changed that actually have been implemented implemented

480
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. And that's the stuff that people don't hear about.

481
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: They hear about a lot of well, why did George

482
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: sloy justin Peace Act. Then yeah, I know I'm pushing

483
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: for that too on a federal level. But again, over

484
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: one hundred cities have did some level of police reform

485
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: in Minnesota as one, and so we can't take that

486
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: away from somebody's record. Yeah, and say, well, he let

487
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: it burn for several days without bringing in the National Guard,

488
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: And I'm okay with that too. I don't believe the

489
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: National Guard should have been brought in to police citizens,

490
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that. They're not gonna like it

491
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: on the right. You know, I'm gonna be asked about

492
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: it when I go do commentary, right, And I'm based

493
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: on my military training, I don't think they should be

494
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: in there because we don't need to be militarizing. Now.

495
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: If you want to bring in other police or you know, whatever,

496
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: want to, but the military shouldn't be policing our citizens.

497
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, I believe I stand on that. Bands should

498
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: also stand on that. He knows how we would train

499
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: train to kill SODA's walls. So yeah, the military is

500
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: not designed the police's own citizens. That's my opinion, and

501
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm standing on that.

502
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I was one of those people out

503
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 3: there day after day after day. In DC, documenting a

504
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: lot of what was going on down by the White House,

505
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: et cetera in twenty twenty. Now, the other thing that

506
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: I want to say really quickly about Walls, he's his

507
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 3: immigration record.

508
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Hold on, we get into immigration. I want to say

509
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: one more thing, moving real fast, it was it was

510
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: riots all over the world, you know, all over the country.

511
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: It was not just in Minnesota. Now they can focus

512
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: on just Minnesota, but it was everywhere. There was an

513
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: outrage everywhere. This was not just one government, you know,

514
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: just one governor. So they got to keep that in

515
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: mind too. But again, people have to find something to

516
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: talk about, and that's fine. They can talk about it,

517
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: but we just have to just remember to keep setting

518
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: the record straight. Like it also happened in some Republican

519
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: states as well. There was outrage everywhere. The response to

520
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: what watching somebody be murdered. It trickled down in a

521
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: couple different places. So I just won't say.

522
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 3: That, but go ahead, sorry, no, no, yes, yes, that's

523
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: absolutely right. And then also you're right, there were a

524
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: protests also happening internationally, you know, in the name of

525
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: George Floyd as well.

526
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty.

527
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Walls is also being being heavily criticized on the

528
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: right for being soft on immigration for some people. For

529
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: some voters, that is a deal breaker. He has, you know,

530
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: advocated for them to get free universal health care as

531
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: well as driver's licenses. I also read that he is

532
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: a proponent of gender farming care for young people.

533
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and I mean if it's if Hey listen,

534
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: governors elected officials, Uh, they do what the constituents tell

535
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: him to do. And so apparently he's in the state

536
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 1: that's pretty progressive that believe in gender firman care. They

537
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: voted this man in. They said, it's one of the

538
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: happiest places to live, according to the you know, to

539
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: the record, and they're fine with that. The Republicans say,

540
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: leave it to the states. That's what they decide in

541
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: the states. I don't mean, what else can we say

542
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: about that. If that's not something you want, then move

543
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: to the Great State of Texas because the definitely because

544
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: the governor of Texas definitely ain't going for moved to

545
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: the Great State of Georgia because the governor MP definitely

546
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: ain't going for This is why y'all talk about the

547
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: states rights. So that's that, So okay, so Jay, we

548
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: hey Democrats have a vice president of nominee. We're gonna

549
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: see how this plays out. I think the honeymoon season honeymoon.

550
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: They're still in honeymoon right now. Things stuff is gonna

551
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: start getting a little a little more heavy in the

552
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: weeks to come. Still ninety days of probably eighty nine now,

553
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at my time clock with eighty nine days. Now.

554
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: At some point we need a debate at some point,

555
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: I would agree.

556
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: I know JD.

557
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: Vans ran up on the tarmac today at once on

558
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: Air Force two saying that VP Hairs is avoiding the

559
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: cameras and in the basement like Joe Biden. So I

560
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: think they need to, you know, need to address that.

561
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: Go ahead and you know you've had a couple of rallies,

562
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: but you needed to get you know, VP. They need

563
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: to get. But they need to speed it up, like

564
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: you got your candidates. Let's get it going. Let's set

565
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: up some interviews, let's start doing someone on ones. Let's

566
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: get the debate popping. You know, you can't just keep

567
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, I get it. You want to spread it

568
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: out and get the shorter time the candidate has to

569
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: run the better because it's less you know, less, I

570
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: guess pushback or things. You got a debate and things

571
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: you got to wear. But you can't just strength, you know,

572
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: run this out with ninety high. So everybody gotta get

573
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: into it. I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be

574
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: a hell of a race and I'm looking forward to it.

575
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: So we'll continue to keep covering it right here on

Speaker 1: my partner in this not just my partner in this podcast,

609
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: but all things that I'm doing, because we're really doing

610
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm trying to do as much as I

611
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: possibly can. I'm really enjoying doing local radio. I popped

612
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: in with Atlanta last week's shout out to them, and

613
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know that I was recording for also Milwaukee, Orlando,

614
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: and North Carolina, I believe. So when I was in
