I mean, obviously, you're a congressman 76 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: from Doulwa. Your people love you everywhere. I mean, you 77 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: don't have to be in your state to know it. 78 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: By the way, your work speaks for itself, and it 79 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: speaks beyond the borders of any state. Give us what 80 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: you're feeling. How do you feel about the race. What's 81 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 1: the prognosis? We already know you're going we claiming the thing. 82 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 7: I am glad people are claiming it. But and y'all know, 83 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 7: I'm a person of faith. I believe that faith, you know, basically, 84 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 7: faith without works is dead. And so for me, one 85 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 7: of the things that is probably the biggest challenge is 86 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 7: that a lot of people sleep on Delaware. They think, oh, 87 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 7: it's a blue state, but it's only three county and 88 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 7: they vote blue, purple, and red. We literally are urban, suburban, rural, 89 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 7: and coastal, and so those farmers in that part of 90 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 7: the state a lot of times they're not looking at 91 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 7: us and just being a Republican, you're gonna get forty 92 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 7: percent of the vote in my state. 93 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 4: So yeah, jump. 94 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 7: So last time, my opponent had no staff, it was 95 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 7: him and his girlfriend running around the state. They had 96 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 7: no platform, they had no money until dark money came 97 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 7: in at the very end and did an ad about 98 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 7: me dancing, because y'all know I love to dance. I'm 99 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 7: in the beehive. 100 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 4: But he showed. 101 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 7: A video of me dancing and they covered up who 102 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 7: I was dancing with. 103 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 5: It was John Lewis before he died. Wow. 104 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 7: And so that guy with nothing got forty four percent 105 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 7: of the vote. 106 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 6: Wow. 107 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 7: And so for us, we want people to understand, don't 108 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 7: sleep on Delaware. We got to get the turnout. And 109 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 7: that's true for Kamala and Tim as well. Turnout is everything. 110 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 7: It's everything. When we turn out, we win. But people 111 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 7: have to connect their vote with their life. So for 112 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 7: me in Delaware, we've got these unincorporated areas that didn't 113 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 7: have clean drinking water. I mean, this is not the 114 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 7: nineteen twenties or forties or the sixties, this is the 115 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 7: two thousands. And so for me to bring clean drinking 116 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 7: water to those communities, that is the kind of work 117 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 7: we do. Maternal mortality we know, as black women, you 118 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 7: know we're three four times likely to die. And so 119 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 7: to be able to do the work on maternal mortality 120 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 7: and menopause and. 121 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: Jobs, jobs, job, jobs, I said. 122 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 7: If I had another middle name, it be Lisa Blunt Jobs, Rochester. 123 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 4: I love. 124 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 7: I love the economy and jobs and building wealth. 125 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: And that's why my speech yesterday. 126 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 7: About bright Hope was about entrepreneurs and growing black and 127 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 7: brown businesses as well as growing our strong communities. So 128 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 7: I just want people to not sleep on Delaware. We 129 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 7: are a very moderate state. I'm so happy you. 130 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: Brought up water insecurity. I think a lot of people 131 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: don't realize they're over one hundred and forty million people 132 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: in this country without access to clean drinking water in 133 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: this in these United States, and most of those people 134 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 3: are people of color. So that's a crucial issue. And 135 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: I think it speaks to why Delaware matters. Even if 136 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: you don't live there, but have you in the Senate 137 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: would certainly help tilt the scale for innumerable Oh. 138 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, well we need black representation in the Senate too, 139 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 6: beyond Delaware. 140 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 5: Right, absolutely, this is very true. 141 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 7: I mean for me, the other thing is democracy sounds 142 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 7: like some you. 143 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 4: Know, ambiguous this thing. 144 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 7: But for somebody like me who was trapped up in 145 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 7: the gallery on January sixth when that insurrection broke out, 146 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 7: like I felt and saw and. 147 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 4: Heard how close we were to losing it. 148 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 7: And so you know, Jim Clyburn said, everybody says this 149 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 7: is the most important election. 150 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 4: He said, this isn't the most important.

We started in a primary with 213 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 6: an opponent who spent more than sixty five million dollars 214 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 6: of his own money to compete in race. And you 215 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 6: know what, and the voters deserve all the credit that 216 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 6: they were able, nonetheless to hear a positive vision for 217 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 6: our state and for our country that resonated. I'm the nominee, 218 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 6: and we've continued working. We've built a coalition across the 219 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 6: state that I know will show up on election day 220 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 6: because they know like I do, that this election is 221 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 6: about the kind of state that we deserve to build 222 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 6: for our kids and grandkids. 223 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 5: We're not accepting anything less. 224 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 6: And you know I talked about this a little earlier today, 225 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 6: but I want our kids not to live on the origins, 226 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 6: but to be able to know that they can achieve 227 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 6: their wildest dreams.

And bright Hope 256 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 7: isn't always happy. Bright Hope is having that expectation even 257 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 7: when you can't see it. And so the fact that 258 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 7: I call sometimes I call my soon to be hopefully 259 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 7: sinster Senator DaVita, because she was like David with Goliath. 260 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 5: She's played that ding. 261 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 7: And so I'm so thankful for the platforms that you 262 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 7: her by as well and educating us.

I didn't have heard of you. 270 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 8: I like the message that both of them are delivering 271 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 8: because you know, I think after this, everybody really does 272 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 8: have to get to work, because you know, this is 273 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 8: a coronation, but the big win comes in the fall, 274 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 8: and that win's not gonna happen without the work. So 275 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 8: I like that. You know, you'all are both scressing that 276 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 8: everybody has to get to work. 277 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, we gotta get to work. 278 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: It's gonna ask you a quick question. Our mother is 279 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: a resident of Maryland, and so she's thrilled to be 280 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 3: able to vote for you. One thing I think is 281 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 3: so important for our viewers and listeners to hear. You're 282 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: running against former Republican or current Republican former governor Larry Hogan. 283 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: You know, something like colleague co host Andrew always says, 284 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: is we have to stop calling it the Republican Party 285 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: because it is now the Maga Party is one and 286 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: the same. He has said that he you know, he's 287 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: been ambiguous about his answers on how he would move. 288 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: But we have not seen a Republican in the Senate 289 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: buck this unhinged former president. What would you say to 290 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 3: people who are on the fence about who they're going 291 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: to vote for, considering the danger that exists on the 292 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: other side. 293 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you for that. 294 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 6: Well, you know what, So you said he's been ambiguous, 295 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 6: let me tell you what has not been ambiguous his actions. Yes, 296 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 6: he's a person, first of all, who was selected by 297 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 6: Mitch McConnell after he spent months and months saying he 298 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 6: was uninterested in the Senate and then said, oh, you 299 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 6: know what, Mitch McConnell convinced me to get into the race. 300 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 6: We know this is the same Mitch McConnell who refused 301 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 6: President Obama, stole the seat and refused to give President 302 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 6: Obama the opportunity to appoint Merrick Garland and set us 303 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 6: up for this crazy Supreme Court that we have in 304 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 6: place right now. And so what Larry Hogan says about 305 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 6: being ambiguous, his actions tell us everything we need to know. 306 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 6: He vetoed abortion care legisla in the state, and then 307 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 6: when it was overridden, he refused to release the funding 308 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 6: until Governor Moore came into office. This is the same 309 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 6: guy who didn't support paid in family medical leave. He's 310 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 6: the same guy who also vetoed legislation to have a 311 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 6: waiting period for guns, knowing that our children right now 312 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 6: are dying. The number one way our kids are slaughtered 313 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 6: in America are with guns, not by car accident or 314 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 6: by illness. And so there's nothing ambiguous about the way 315 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 6: that he has moved and behaved. And so in this day, 316 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 6: to bless his heart, he waited till he was sixty 317 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 6: eight and a half years old to become pro choice. 318 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 5: It's not credible. None of it's credible. 319 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 6: And we know that he maybe he's a nice man, 320 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 6: but he's a Republican through and through, and he's a. 321 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 5: Part of that party now. 322 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 6: That if we gave them the majority, we'll control the 323 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 6: agenda for our country, and it is controlled by Donald Trump, 324 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 6: who by the way, endorsed him, and not. 325 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 5: Because they love each other, but because they share a goal. 326 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 6: They want to have this majority so they can take 327 00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 6: our country backwards. And we're not having you. Let's get 328 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 6: used to it. And I can't wait to see you. 329 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 6: I'm the next one with black women call.
