00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: beat you gave? And then what's the feeling that this

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: year's convention?

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: Well, Steve, I felt I felt amazing being on that stage, man,

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: And you know, we got to step back and understand

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: the history of all of us, and it was really

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: an emotional date. You know, sixty years ago, Fanny lou

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: Hamer came to the Democratic National Convention and testified at

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: the Credentials Committee, and she said, then, you know, because

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: it was an all white Mississippi delegation, and she said,

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: And you fast forward to sixty years now today and

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: I gabbled in this convention, a black man from South

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: Carolina with a black woman, our convention chair, Minyon Moore,

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: a black woman who grew.

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Up here on the South side of Chicago, and we

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: are nominating a black woman to be president of the

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: United States. Folks, that's the history. I want people to

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: step back and understand that we all are part of

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: history right now, and we got to appreciate that and

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: make sure that this history is a successful one. Come o,

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Harris needs to be President of the United States, and

40
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: it's within our power to make that happen.

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a fact. It is within our power. And

42
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about how we can harness some of this power,

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: right because from what my understanding, I want you to

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: help explain this to me. I didn't my understanding that

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: the DNC wants to be more inclusive with influencers. Tell

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: me about that and what exactly the DNC is.

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: Trying to accomplish well.

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: You know, see, my vision from when I took over

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: the DNC was to make sure that we are reaching

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: people where they are, not just asking people to come

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: to us, but we're going to where people are. And

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: we got to understand that how people take in information

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: these days. When my first political memory was nineteen eighty

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: eight and watching the Democratic Convention Jesse Jackson on that stage,

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: watched on TV. Well, the way that people watch this

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: convention now is very different. That's analog watching on TV.

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: People are listening radio, on digital, They're getting pieces from TikTok, Instagram, threads,

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 2: Facebook and all the ways. We got to make sure

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: that we are communicating with people in the ways in

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: which they receive information. And so this year we did

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: something unprecedented. We invited two hundred social media content creators.

62
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: We credential them like we were credential of press to

63
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: come and cover the DNC and we even have a

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: special space for them on the floor of the convention.

65
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: We've never done that before, and that is because we

66
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: want to reach everybody, not just a select few, but

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: everybody in the ways that they get information. You know,

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: the RNC didn't do that. But the DNC understands that

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: the people are the most important thing in this election.

70
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: We reach them, we win this race.

71
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Wow, I think you're absolutely correct about that, because well

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about that difference too, because you said the

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: r n C didn't do that. So how does the

74
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention, how does it differ from what the

75
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: Republican National Convention look like back in July?

76
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: Well, Steve, I mean their thing was old and start.

77
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, who had big stars were? I mean

78
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: they had hul Hogan, they had Kid Rock, you know,

79
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: the Amber Rose. I mean, excuse me.

80
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: I don't who the hell is what you meant to?

81
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 2: Go ahead? That's the right and that's your big stars

82
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: who you gonna bring to the table. Look at the

83
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: folks that we have already had, you know, from from

84
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Uh, and we we haven't

85
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: gotten yet to Madame Vice President herself, Kamala Harris and

86
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: then some of the other stars and celebrities and rock

87
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: stars and the Democratic Party that are going to be

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: he on that stage. So you know, it's a different

89
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: type of vibe, it's a different type of energy. It's

90
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: almost like concert slash family reunion all together, and there's

91
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: a lot of hope and joy in the United Center

92
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: right now.

93
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: Uh.

94
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: And that's a far different feel than what you got

95
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: over at the Republican Party. I mean, he put on

96
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump Junior on the stage. Nobody want to hear

97
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: no Donald Trump j nosdamnbody exactly a man.

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: But did you hear the statement that Donald Trump Junior made?

99
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: He said, and he released his video says, I can't

100
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: believe how many black men, African American men come up

101
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: to me and go, hey, Donald Trump Jr.

102

00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: You must be just hell?

Speaker 3: Well, he don't know. Oh, Tim Scott's.

105
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: Black guys are coming up to him seeing that he's

106
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: amazing and all that. That's the only one.

107
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: I never heard of black dude say that. And all

108
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:15,320

Speaker 1: and I want you to talk about when we come back,

113
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: the message of hope and joy that the DNC is

114
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: centered around. And let's go over the what you think

115
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: are the distinct differences between the two candidates, Madam Vice

116
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: President Kamla Harris and Donald Trump.

117
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: So when we come back, we'll go over that.

124
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: the show before and he I thought, he's just been

125
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: the best guest we've ever had to really expound what

126
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: the party was about in the Biden administration.

127
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 3: Well, now it's about to be a new administration. It's

128
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: about to be the Harris administration.

129
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: And we were talking about his speech at the Democratic Convention.

130
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: We're talking about all the things that's happening.

131
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: But right now I want you to share with us

132
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: when we were when we got two minutes, let's talk

133
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: about the message of hope and enjoy of this year's

134
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: DNC is centered around and what you think are the

135
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: two key differences, I mean, the differences between the two

136
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: candidates that's running.

137
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: Well, Steve, you know, the Republican Party is a party

138
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: of fear. They want to make you afraid of everything.

139
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: You know, your neighbors, your friends, your family members, and

140
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: they want you to think that everybody's trying to get

141
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: what you want. We the Democratic Party, are the Party

142
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: of hope. We are the Party of hope. We you know,

143
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: they think that our better days as a country are

144
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 2: behind us. That's why they say make America great Again.

145
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: But we know that our better days as a people

146
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: as a country are ahead of us. It's about the possibilities,

147
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: and that's what Kamala Harris represents, you know, that's all

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: the things that we all try to represent. You know,

149
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: I was born to a teen mom, sixteen years old,

150
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: and you know I gabbled in the convention. Right, that

151
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: only happens in America. And that's what the Democratic Party

152
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: fights for each and every day. And we look at

153
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: the contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. You know,

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris wants to uplift all of them there. She

155
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: wants to make sure that everybody, regardless of your race,

156
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: your religions, who you love, how you love, what you

157
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: look like, that you can live the American dream. Donald

158
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: Trump only cares about one person living in the American dream,

159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: and that's Donald Trump. He is the most selfish person

160
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: in politics in this country, in the country's history. He

161
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: was willing to risk the life of his own vice

162
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: president in order to hold on power. And you look

163
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: at Joe Biden and you look at Kamala Harris, Joe Biden,

164
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: I say it goes out as one of the most

165
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: selfless people in politics because he understood that in order

166
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: to protect democracy, in order to secure our rights and freedom,

167
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: that he had to pass at baton to his very

168
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: able and capable and intelligent a madame vice president. That's

169
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: a selfless act. Whereas Donald Trump is selfish. So Kamala

170
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Harris is ready to prosecute this case against this thirty

171
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: four counts convicted felon who raped the woman, who was

172
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: impeached twice. That is who Donald Trump is. We wouldn't

173
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: want Donald Trump to come to our house or to

174
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: be our neighbor, to do anything. Why the hell would

175
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 2: we want him to be president of the United States.

176
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: Let's stand up and support Kamala Harris because she is

177
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: one of us, and that's what we have to do.

178
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: She represents all the good of this country, and particularly

179
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: all the good in the black community. We need to
