Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to be here. Good morning, happy, happy

00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 3: It's good. Hey man.

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Let me start with this tweet that you sent out wednesday.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 3: Let me just start here.

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: Your tweet said, y'all out here, critique and Kammala like

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: your guy didn't just stand on stage and sway to

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: elevator music for thirty minutes right there.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: We saw it, wet, I gotta stop tweeting on cost

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: and migos. That's what I got to But but it

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: goes to this this standard that is just it's wild

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: to me, because you know, they asked him about climate

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: change at the Univision town hall and he went on

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: a rambling answer, and no matter where he is, he's incoherent.

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: He doesn't make sense. He he was swaying for thirty minutes.

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: They say it's because he had a medical emergency. Well yeah,

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: he had two of them and they were over. And

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: this man simply said, I don't want to take any

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: more questions, play some ave Maria, and he just I mean,

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: if if Kamala Harris did anything like that. And what

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: I tell people all the time is black folks, particularly

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: black women. He's running the one ten hurdles in high

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: hills and then have to complete a somersaught at the end.

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, I love that. Yeah, I love it.

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so you know, we just gotta we gotta

36
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: for And it's crazy because on November fifth, the election

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: won't probably be decided. In fact, I'm sure it won't

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: be decided on the fifth, but we're gonna be anxious,

39
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: and we're going to be you know, this woman has

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: been so qualified for every position, and I mean, look,

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: I got to I can't just critique folks on that side.

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: I mean, lord, Jamar, who we you know, have some

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: affection for as a rapper, talking about she's not qualified

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: to run a dunkin donuts and this. You know when

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: black men thought like that as well. You got this

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: woman who was who was a da a lawyer, an

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: attorney general, the United States senator, vice president? What what?

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: What conversations are we actually having? That's that's just frustrating

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: to me.

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me ask you something because now we're Finnah

51
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: give in some I'm curious.

52
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: About what's your thoughts when you see blacks for Trump.

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm so curious as to what they're why they're for him.

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: What is it that you think it is?

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's this horrifically huge numb and

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: day they're trying to make it out to be. I

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: don't think the saying no, no, what's your.

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: Take on that?

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: So? I think there's two There are two lanes, and

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: the first lane are people that we just need to

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: you know, kind of discount. And those are the ones

62
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: who like shining things. Those are the ones who like

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 2: what he says and want to be different and think

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: that somehow I get this all the time, being a lawyer,

65
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: I come in and quote somebody of feet and they're like,

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: oh my god, but you know a white boycot on

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: the feet and they say that's perfect, like it's their

68
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: ice is colder than ours type idea. And that's just

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: one category outset of side. Then there's another category that

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: that we have to pay attention to, the Kamla here

71
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: is paying attention to, and that's a group of disenchanted,

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: particularly black men and Hispanic man And I meet them

73
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: all the time. We all know them who just simply

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: feel like nothing's going to change. Government hasn't worked for them,

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: no one's message to them. Everybody else in this country

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: gets help, but nobody completely understands or empathizes what it

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: means to be a black man in this country or

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: a Hispanic man in this country. And it feels like

79
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: the world is just beating us up. And y'all want

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: us to go out here and vote again. And you know,

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: you told us that things are going to change under

82
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: Barack Obama, and I don't necessarily feel it. I may

83
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 2: disagree with it, but I can't disagree with how they feel.

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: Or Joe Biden, And now you're saying the same thing

85
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: about Kamala Harris and so that's why you have to listen,

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: and then you have to approach the problem differently, which

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: is what she's doing well.

88
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: And that leads us to this part right here, because

89
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: she came up with this opportunity agenda for black men,

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: and she wanted to lay out some critical policies you

91
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: know that was designed to uplift and empower black men

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: across the country. From your side of it, what are

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: some of the key points to her new agenda.

94
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: So the first thing I wanted to do, and when

95
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: I was talking to them and we were talking about

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: doing this, to simply say, look, this isn't going to

97
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: just be a criminal justice agenda, because you know, a

98
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: lot of my white progressive friends and a lot of

99
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: my conservative friends, all they want to do when they

100
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: talk to black men is about how to stay out

101
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: of jail and keep your friends out of jail. That's

102
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: the only conversation they had with black men. And I said,

103
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: let's make sure it's holistic. And so Kamala Harris took

104
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: this approach where she's talking about small business grants up

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: to twenty thousand dollars and the way I think about it,

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: in the way she thinks about it, is that's you know,

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: helping you get a start in a barbershop, that's helping

108
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: you get a box truck, that's helping you get back

109
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: on your feet with your entrepreneurial spirit. And so a

110
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: lot of people look at that, a lot of people

111
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: look at the legalization of marijuana. But the two key

112
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: points that I focus on Steve, which I found to

113
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: be something that warm my heart, was the health Equitage

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: and where she talks about a sickle cell registry, where

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: she talks about actually making sure that the Affordable Care

116
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: Act covers for free and we lower the age for

117
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: colorecto and prostate exams. I mean looking at black men's

118
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: health because we all know somebody who just fell out

119
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: and died at thirty five and forty and forty five

120
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: years old and we don't know why. And the second

121
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: piece that met just jumps off the page to me

122
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: is putting more black men in the classroom. Because when

123
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 2: you go out and talk to young boys as you do, Steve,

124
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: probably and we need to give your flowers while you're living.

125
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: You talk to young black men more than any other

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: person I know, and it means so much to them

127
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: and so much to the community. And when you talk

128
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: to them, one of the first things they'll tell you

129
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: is they don't have people in the classroom that identifies

130
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: with them.

131
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: That now that right there is a fact. Hey, we

132
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: stay with us. Bakari, We'll be right back, everybody. We've

133
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: got more of a Bakari Sellers right after this.

134
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: You're listening Morning show.

135
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: A Hi, everybody, We're back, and our special guest this

136
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: morning is one of the men that's been on the

137
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: front line for this year's election, and he's been a

138
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: he's a noted politician, he's an attorney, political correspondent. He's

139
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: our guest this morning. Bacari Sellers is our guest. So

140
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: we're taught talking about the agenda that VP Kamala Harris

141
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: had released on Monday, and we're talking about some of

142
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: the highlighted things. And before we left, Bacar, you said

143
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: something that was really interesting that I thought couldn't really

144
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: be addressed this way, because you know, I hear people

145
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: always talk about, you know, what's the black agenda, And

146
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I've been trying to tell my listeners, you know, you

147
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: can't just run out here and have one platform just

148
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: for black people, because you got to get everybody's vote,

149
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: but she actually came out and verbalized an agenda to

150
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: address black and Hispanic men.

151
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: And that's what we're on the phone talking about.

152
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: So for everybody who when they're gonna do something for us,

153
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: and I do understand the frustration. So we were talking

154
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: about some of the key points, and one of the

155
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: things you said you were excited about Bakari was the

156
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: launch of the National Health Equity Initiative for Black men.

157
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: Go back over that again, because that's really a huge one.

158
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we all know that, you know, kind

159
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: of culturally, for example, black men, we work hard. We're

160
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: usually the last ones to go to the doctor. We

161
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: get a sniffle, a little chest pain. You know, you

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: take some robotesting us, some tongues. It's just a gas, right,

163
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: that's what we say. You know, your head hurting and spinning,

164
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: and you just or you don't go get the preventative

165
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: exams that you need because you don't work. You worry

166
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: about it crippling your family with the costs. And Kamala

167
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 2: Harrison's like, let's have a conversation about that. Let's have

168
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: a conversation about why black men are dying. It's such

169
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: high rate the young ages, and let's make it affordable

170
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: for them to get to preventive care they need. I mean,

171
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: let's talk about lowering the age for these exams because

172
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: we know that cancer are particularly prostate cancer and corrected

173
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: cancer is affecting us at a younger ages. And let's

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: bring people in to have these conversations so we can

175
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: go get our physicals and do the things necessary. And

176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: so I just think that that's profound that black women

177
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: who always take care of us, you know the jokes,

178
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: Black women go through everything, and when black men get

179
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: a cold, we just that's we out. We're done for

180
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: a week. But Kamala Harris is the one who's simply

181
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: talking about making sure that we have equitable treatment for

182
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: black men in their healthcare and looking at them holistically.

183
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: I just think it's powerful. Kamala Harris is talking about

184
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: making sure that black men, black boys can go to college,

185
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 2: get their college paid for, get in the classroom, teach.

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: Those things are things that matter in shape communities. She's

187
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: also talking about mentorship programs, apprenticeship programs, et cetera. But

188
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: it's a holistic approach to the experience, and I think

189
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: it's a win for black men, because listen, even if

190
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 2: you're a Republican black guy. Listener. We've been asking for

191
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: a party to listen to us for a long time,

192
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 2: and finally a candidate, for the first time in American history,

193
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: has put out an agenda that simply caters to our needs.

194
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: Apricar hold that thought right there. We'll be right back.

195
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, We're going to take a short break when

196
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: we come back with more with Pcari Sellers right after this.

197
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 2: You're listening.

198
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: Morning Show.

199
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, We're back in our special guests this

200
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: morning is Bakari Sellers. There's a couple of the points

201
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: in this a part that I was hearing about about

202
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: lowering the rent and providing down payment assistance. Yeah for

203
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: first time a black homeowners.

204
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. So, I mean it's part of her

205
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: housing agenda. And this this is is kind of twofold.

206
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: The first part is that she says that one of

207
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: the you know, when you go to the bank and

208
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: you want to get a loan for a house in

209
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: the first first time home buyer, one of the things

210
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: you run into is the fact that you got to

211
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: have cash when you buy out. I mean, you just

212
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: can't go out there and buy no house on your

213
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: good looks. You know, you can't. You can't bring no

214
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: can goods to the bank. You got to have some

215
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: cash for a down payment. And so there's a there

216
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: is a twenty five thousand dollars credit that you can

217
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: receive for down payments. That's what she put in her

218
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: housing class. But in particular for black men. One of

219
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: the things that come out here is is going to

220
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: do is you build three million new homes. So there's

221
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: a component going into her agenda for Ascan American men

222
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: where you're going to make sure that the people building

223
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: these homes. You're going to make sure that not only

224
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: the builders and the developers, for those individuals building US homes,

225
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: they look like me and you stee the people who

226
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: are out there we're putting the work we're spending this

227
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: money on. But particularly these folks, the first time home buyers,

228
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: which oftentimes are younger and skew, blacker and browner. The

229
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: people who would build them as well actually look like us.

230
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's important. It's a way that you can

231
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: look at policy with some level of intellectual depth.

232
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: You know, man, I'm really happy to have you on

233
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: today to kind of clarify this message, because I think

234
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: it's something that's been kind of sticking in our side

235
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: a little bit when we hear that we're not getting

236
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: the proper amount of support from black men. But I

237
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: think this is my opinion on election Day as is

238
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: occurring in this record number of early voting that they're

239
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: already doing. I think that the people do they never

240
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: poll is us, and I think that we are the

241
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: ones who can make We are the deciding factor in

242
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: this election.

243
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: Purely find way.

244
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: This is it.

245
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: That was an election against Biden against Trump, and it

246
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: came down to Georgia and for the first time we

247
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: turned Georgia blue and they and they waited. They was

248
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: in Fulton, Cobb County and all of that, and we

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: know where that is in Atlanta, and that was the decider.

250
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: And I just think, man, that if we show up

251
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: in the numbers that we have the potential to show

252
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: up in, if we just get to the polls, I

253
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: think we will have a new president of the United

254
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: States and her name will be President Kamala Harris.

255
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you're right, but I actually, I mean I

256
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: think it's a little bigger than that. If we show up,

257
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: I mean it particularly black men. Races in our hands, right,

258
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: And the question is what do you want this country

259
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: to be not just for you, but your children, and

260
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: you know, the parents that you're taking care of. I mean,

261
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: I'm forty years old, so I'm at the age I

262
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: don't where I'm like watching my parents get old, trying

263
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 2: to take care of them. I am raising five and

264
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: a half year old twins, and I got a nineteen

265
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: year old at Howard that's majored in U Street. I

266
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: hope she's going to class, but right now she just

267
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 2: seems to be. Anyway, that's a whole nother conversation. But

268
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: I want the country to be better for them. I

269
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 2: want to turn the page on that hate and that

270
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: racism and that bigotry. And you know, selling hundred thousand

271
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: dollars watches or gold shoes or bibles, thinking that's gonna

272
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: that's gonna get me. And what it takes is listen,

273
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 2: I do want to have to sign this with you.

274
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: Black men got to come out of Wisconsin, Detroit, got

275
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: to come out in Philadelphia, Atlanta. You know, the white

276
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: college educated women that listen to your show got to

277
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: come out. They don't have to vote like their husbands,

278
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: they got to come outside and vote. I mean, it's

279
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 2: going to take a collaborative effort, but if we do

280
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: this and do it resoundingly, we can finally turn the

281
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: page on the last eight years, which is would it

282
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: look like January sixth with Confederate flags running through the

283
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: state cap I mean the United States Cap? So right?

284
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: So right, hey, bro, I want you to come back

285
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: on the show before election and keep us enlightened. Man,

292
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: I like the way he broke down the opportunity the

293
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: agenda for black men, and she turned around and actually

294
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: came up with one. She actually laid out something directly

295
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: at them, and that's that's pretty powerful.

296
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: Man. That's taking a step I've never seen. I've never

297
