Speaker 1: so let's get into it. I want to hear what
Speaker 1: we're talking about today, what y'all got.
Speaker 5: Well, the thing that I really want to talk about
Speaker 5: is also some kudos to Leonard's Charlemagne McKelvey and also
Speaker 5: to Kamala Harris. They did a fantastic interview that I
Speaker 5: got to see yesterday, So I do want to talk
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 4: Well, y'all, There's been some developments on the elections front,
Speaker 4: elections law rulings in Georgia and Tiffany, I think, like you,
Speaker 4: I would like to address the environment we find ourselves
Speaker 4: as relates to the political violence as we lead into election.
Speaker 4: This is going to be about surviving election day and
Speaker 4: surviving the aftermath.
Speaker 1: That's super like a super serious issue for me, is
Speaker 1: very personal to me. And I'll tell you guys why
Speaker 1: when we get into that. In the episode. But I'm
Speaker 1: glad that you brought that up, Andrew, because I definitely
Speaker 1: want to talk about that. Can I just say that
Speaker 1: I really miss you guys, and I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: being with you guys Andela when am I seeing you?
Speaker 5: Guess what? We just announced the Bring It Home Tour
Speaker 5: right in time for Election Day, which is just around
Speaker 5: the corner. You guys know what. We count down every
Speaker 5: single week, so we will be in Detroit right by
Speaker 5: Piston's Land this weekend. We're very, very excited to be
Speaker 5: there to really bring it home to ensure that we
Speaker 5: get out the votes. That is the first day of
Speaker 5: early voting in Michigan. We have some special guests that
Speaker 5: you all have seen before on this podcast and some
Speaker 5: that you have not, so that will be our first stop.
Speaker 5: Tip It's this Saturday, which is what is that date?
Speaker 5: October eighteenth, nineteenth, one of these days. No, it's definitely
Speaker 5: the nineteenth. It's October. It's October nineteenth. This is why
Speaker 5: we don't schedule.
Speaker 1: So come holler at us the day Sin We'll see
Speaker 1: you in the date SI on Saturday, October nineteenth. We
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing you out there at the Piston
Speaker 1: Land can show.
Speaker 5: What up though, though. Okay, so, as we just talked about,
Speaker 5: you guys, I really got to sit down and be
Speaker 5: proud of a really incredible moment in Detroit yesterday. As
Speaker 5: you all know, Kamala Harris is running neck in neck
Speaker 5: and neck to Donald Trump in Michigan, and there was
Speaker 5: an incredible idea put together to do a radio based
Speaker 5: town hall with black men, questions being asked by a
Speaker 5: black man, Charlemagne the God, and questions being asked by
Speaker 5: Detroit residents everything from the economy to reparation to the
Speaker 5: plan to get folks out of poverty and into the
Speaker 5: middle class of Kamala Harris, right after she rolled out
Speaker 5: her plan for black men, she first talked about this
Speaker 5: on an interview with Roland Martin, our friend Roland Martin
Speaker 5: and Roland Martin Unfiltered. She rolled that plan out, and
Speaker 5: she continued to talk about that plan with Lenard yesterday,
Speaker 5: and I got to tell you, guys, it was really
Speaker 5: really impressive. I think my favorite moment in that interview
Speaker 5: was also one point five billion social media impressions later.
Speaker 5: My favorite moment was watching her engage with these black
Speaker 5: men of faith leader in Michigan who talked about the
Speaker 5: importance of outreach to the faith community, her name dropping
Speaker 5: her own pastor, and even getting to right a moment
Speaker 5: where we see someone else who claims blackness and fans blackness,
Speaker 5: who didn't know that when you say God is good,
Speaker 5: the response is did Kamala Harris nailed that as well?
Speaker 5: So I think it was really really powerful. I know
Speaker 5: we're going to run a clip later in this program,
Speaker 5: but I loved hear what you all thought. I thought
Speaker 5: it was a really good interview, super timely, and it
Speaker 5: looks like it was going over really really well. We
Speaker 5: should also talk about mainstream media's response to this. I
Speaker 5: look forward to hearing y'all spot Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, you know, I'm kind of looking
Speaker 1: at this in the larger context of her outreach to
Speaker 1: black men, because she's really done I think a really
Speaker 1: impressive job with that. When she we talked last week
Speaker 1: when she sat down with All the Smoke, of course
Speaker 1: you just talked about. She sat down this week with Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: she sat down with Roland Martin unfiltered. So you know,
Speaker 1: I'd love to acknowledge that she is going into places
Speaker 1: and meeting voters where they are, and so I hope
Speaker 1: that's well received. It's a really different a different political
Speaker 1: landscape and political environment now, and not everybody's watching debates,
Speaker 1: not everybody is watching legacy media, and sometimes it really
Speaker 1: is just a clippable SoundBite that pops up on your feed,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be the only place that someone
Speaker 1: might hear your message. So I think the more places
Speaker 1: she is, then the more likely it is that people
Speaker 1: will hear from her message. I would like to get
Speaker 1: into the meat of what she's offering, you know, because
Speaker 1: it's not just about showing up and shaking hands and
Speaker 1: saying a little phrase, even though that is that has
Speaker 1: such credo in our community, but I think the actual
Speaker 1: policies that she's putting forth actually matter. So, Andrew, you're
Speaker 1: a black man on the panel, I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: your thoughts about it.
Speaker 4: A black man, and certainly not the voice for all
Speaker 4: of us, which I think is really where I want
Speaker 4: to start with this is her respect, her respect enough
Speaker 4: for black men to even put an agenda forward right
Speaker 4: and to say I reject the premise of the question
Speaker 4: of why aren't black men with you? I don't take
Speaker 4: any voting group for granted. I have to go out there,
Speaker 4: work for it, ask for it, present them a reason
Speaker 4: to be for me. And quite frankly, even absent that agenda,
Speaker 4: black men have been by and large for her as
Speaker 4: probably the second largest dedicated constituency group of any group
Speaker 4: out there in America, behind black women supporting Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4: But the humility that she brought to it, but also
Speaker 4: the strength I think in the conversation by saying, Hey,
Speaker 4: I'm not just here as a mouthpiece. Let me bring it.
Speaker 4: And in my form of bringing it, are these receipts
Speaker 4: known as a policy agenda for Black men in America.
Speaker 4: I remember an election not so long ago where the
Speaker 4: question was asked, what is your agenda for Black America
Speaker 4: and Black men in America? And the response was the
Speaker 4: agenda for the country is the agenda for black men?
Speaker 4: And while I love to receive that as the proper answer,
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to look at the history books the
Speaker 4: disproportionately When you have communities that are disproportionately impacted by
Speaker 4: systems structures in this country, then you absolutely have to
Speaker 4: have a remedy that speaks directly to them, and I
Speaker 4: think that's what this agenda does. Angela. I'm sure you
Speaker 4: probably want to break down a couple of the points
Speaker 4: that you heard, but I was especially interested in the
Speaker 4: piece around the small business support for those who want
Speaker 4: to start new businesses and that those grants, I mean,
Speaker 4: those loans can be then formed made into the form
Speaker 4: of a grant that don't have to be repaired.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, one million loans that are fully forgetting
Speaker 1: black entrepreneurs.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: The other thing is a lot of people have been
Speaker 5: focusing on the graphic they saw that announces her agenda,
Speaker 5: and there was even an article that was out in
Speaker 5: NPR a couple of days ago that says, Kamala Harris
Speaker 5: rolls out black men agenda targeting the legalization of cannabis
Speaker 5: and making more accessible cryptocurrency. I probably have fumbled this headline.
Speaker 5: Put that picture up for me, and what you will
Speaker 5: see is one this agenda is actually nine pages long.
Speaker 5: She doesn't just talk about crypto and cannabis. And furthermore,
Speaker 5: it wasn't just about the legalization of cannabis. It was
Speaker 5: actually ensuring that black men have an on ramp to
Speaker 5: get in the cannabis industry period make moneys from it,
Speaker 5: not just be penalized for whatever their past uses or
Speaker 5: distribution of it was. I also think it's important to
Speaker 5: realize black folks, to your point Andrew, are not monolithic.
Speaker 5: And when you talk about black people and their on
Speaker 5: wrap into the economy and upper mobility, we also have
Speaker 5: to talk about black farmers. She does that in this
Speaker 5: nine page plan. It's not included in this graphic, So
Speaker 5: there are a lot of pieces to this. Black folks
Speaker 5: don't just cary care about justice reform. If we don't
Speaker 5: just carry about voting rights, we don't just carry about transportation.
Speaker 5: We don't just care about the economy. We don't just
Speaker 5: care about healthcare. We care about all of those things
Speaker 5: because we are holistic beings existing in this country, and
Speaker 5: this plant addresses every aspect of those things.
Speaker 4: I love that she said, you know, a black agenda
Speaker 4: is more than just an agenda around criminal justice reform.
Speaker 4: Criminal justice reform is important, no doubt about it, partially
Speaker 4: because of the systems and structures that exist that disproportionately
Speaker 4: target us and impact us in our families, but it
Speaker 4: isn't the only thing. And I appreciate her quite frankly
Speaker 4: putting economics centerfold, because every black man that I know
Speaker 4: every proud one wants to work provide for themselves and
Speaker 4: for their families. Nobody then out here asking begging for
Speaker 4: anybody's hand out that the same opportunities that exist for
Speaker 4: everybody else, everyone else, so that we can make away
Speaker 4: for ourselves and for for for the families that we
Speaker 4: care about and love. So where can people go?
Speaker 3: Oh, sorry, go ahead, go ahead?
Speaker 4: No, no, please go ahead. I was I was going to
Speaker 4: ask Angela where people go to get the full agenda?
Speaker 3: Was her website? You can literally go to her website.
Speaker 4: I think the breakfast cut for those of you follow
Speaker 4: also allowed for greater enumeration of the agenda. And of
Speaker 4: course we referenced name check. Roland Martin show is another
Speaker 4: another place.
Speaker 3: But go ahead and shout out to Row forgetting that
Speaker 3: interview as well.
Speaker 4: That's real.
Speaker 1: I you were saying something, Andrew, and we were talking
Speaker 1: before the show started, and you were saying how basically
Speaker 1: you were like, I'm happy that the mainstream media, you know, like.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that I that I heard that I heard
Speaker 4: on television. That's more mainstream cable news from white male
Speaker 4: and a Tino hosts or panelists who were saying saying
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris presents a black agenda for black men, and
Speaker 4: they weren't talking about it in a disparaging way, which
Speaker 4: is uncustomary to me. I can't every time before prior
Speaker 4: to this point, when I've heard a black agenda and
Speaker 4: a black this, folks have basically set it to the side,
Speaker 4: patted it on the head before they then ranted in
Speaker 4: some sort of insult as to why should there be
Speaker 4: a separate da da da da da dada? Well, why
Speaker 4: should there be a separate women's agenda? Why should there
Speaker 4: be agenda for Wall Street? Why should so? Why why
Speaker 4: does all these other constituencies get an agenda? And then
Speaker 4: when it's referenced that black men are being prioritized by
Speaker 4: way of policy change to improve their lives and livelihoods,
Speaker 4: that it's all of a sudden a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So I'm kind of torn on how I
Speaker 1: feel about that. So one, I think the main important
Speaker 1: thing is Vice President Harris has put forth a solid
Speaker 1: policy agenda for black men. There is no more excuse
Speaker 1: for someone to say, she's not speaking to me, what
Speaker 1: has she done for me? What is she going to
Speaker 1: do for me? Like at this point, you are participating
Speaker 1: in willful ignorance if you continue to spread that mistruth,
Speaker 1: and we have seen that all across social media. I've
Speaker 1: heard that in different conversation. So that is the main
Speaker 1: point my frustration, I think Andrew in legacy media and
Speaker 1: some of these conversations is they do continue to perpetuate
Speaker 1: this lie that somehow black men could cost her the election,
Speaker 1: and that's just not true. You know, there is there
Speaker 1: are no none of these swing states where black Republicans
Speaker 1: are great enough in number that they're going to cost
Speaker 1: her the election. And it's not enough acknowledgement that black
Speaker 1: men overwhelmingly are Democratic voters, a progressive group of men
Speaker 1: who vote Democrat. Just I think their numbers are just
Speaker 1: behind where they have voted in the last two elections.
Speaker 1: I think it was twelve percent Republican. So just when
Speaker 1: I say that, I'm not trying to magnify that number.
Speaker 1: It's a very tiny number. But I did have a
Speaker 1: conversation over the weekend. I was doing a production and
Speaker 1: I did have conversation with some folks who were Republican voters.
Speaker 1: This is my challenge because I am looking for someone
Speaker 1: to present a sound, coherent, logical argument to me about
Speaker 1: why they support the Republican ticket, and every single time
Speaker 1: I have not met that person. Every single time, it's
Speaker 1: someone who is not only uninformed of the issue, but
Speaker 1: has not made the slightest effort to get.
Speaker 3: Informed on an issue. Some of these things you can
Speaker 3: simply google.
Speaker 1: Guys, It's just not true, like they literally is because
Speaker 1: somebody said something or I heard this. I'm also a
Speaker 1: bit offended. As a black woman and having my entire
Speaker 1: life dealt with black men, I'm offended at this notion
Speaker 1: that when you want to know how black people feel,
Speaker 1: you're going to go to a barbershop or a beauty someonment.
Speaker 1: That's such a tired, trite roll out. And as long
Speaker 1: as legacy media continues to traffic in that, this is
Speaker 1: why legacy media numbers are shrinking, because when we don't
Speaker 1: see ourselves and the depth of ourselves reflected, then we
Speaker 1: tend to tune that out. So I would beg people,
Speaker 1: no matter what the hosts look like.
Speaker 3: I would beg.
Speaker 1: People to reach a little deeper and appreciate who we
Speaker 1: are as a community and the depth that we have
Speaker 1: as a community. This is no this to barbers like
Speaker 1: barber's attax bands they have something to say. But when
Speaker 1: you want to know how black people feel, you go
Speaker 1: into barbers celebrities, you know, people who you know that
Speaker 1: and that it ends there, you know, And I was frustrating.
Speaker 4: If I appreciate that point, Just two quick things. One,
Speaker 4: I do want to lift up the fact that the
Speaker 4: barbershop experience for black men is very yeique. It is
Speaker 4: oftentimes a It is probably the one point at which
Speaker 4: the different strata of us find ourselves in shared place,
Speaker 4: shared environment. And I think the beauty salon is frankly
Speaker 4: very similar, and that it is a cultural experience. That
Speaker 4: being said, it is not in and of itself the
Speaker 4: mouthpiece or the job of the barber who's doing the
Speaker 4: listening and sometimes responding to then become the representative voice
Speaker 4: of what black men in America think, where nobody is
Speaker 4: that simplistic. And my second point is, is your point
Speaker 4: around the black folks who haven't been able to make
Speaker 4: the compelling argument. I said this many episodes ago when
Speaker 4: we were talking about people who were black and voting Republican,
Speaker 4: and my point was was fifty cent his budget look
Speaker 4: a whole lot different than Andrew Gillums, right, and Joe
Speaker 4: on the street. And so he may hear from Trump
Speaker 4: a tax cut, and that may be sufficient enough for
Speaker 4: him to forgive, not consider release all the rest that
Speaker 4: the man has done and had to say, because at
Speaker 4: the end of the day, this man is voting for
Speaker 4: his bank. And so we should, particularly in celebrity culture,
Speaker 4: we have to really be curious and pull back the
Speaker 4: layer as to why it is that a person may
Speaker 4: feel the way they feel or may be caping and
Speaker 4: the way in which they're caping because their agenda might
Speaker 4: not match ours. Yeah, and and and and by the way, okay,
Speaker 4: that's your business. Good for you, but you don't need
Speaker 4: to be giving me political advice because you and I
Speaker 4: aren't a line on the same thing. What may be
Speaker 4: good for you may be terribly harmful for me. And
Speaker 4: so I think we're a complex enough community to recognize
Speaker 4: we've all got different motives. I do think we share
Speaker 4: a lot in common. First of all, our humanity. That
Speaker 4: box has to be checked first. If you can't see
Speaker 4: me as human, if you can't respect me, if you
Speaker 4: think my body can be thrown and slain about as
Speaker 4: if I'm some kind of ragged all at your at
Speaker 4: your leisure, or pleasure. Then that's it for me that
Speaker 4: I am a single issue voter when it comes to
Speaker 4: my humanity. If you can't see that, we can't get
Speaker 4: to the rest of it. So that's what I think
Speaker 4: keeps us so much connected.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree.
Speaker 1: I want to hear some sound from the interview, because
Speaker 1: I think that was the unique thing about Charlemagne's interview
Speaker 1: is that it was interacted like other people can questions
Speaker 1: really quickly before we go to that, Angela, you and
Speaker 1: I were part of a conversation that I will respect
Speaker 1: the people involved in the conversation by keeping most of
Speaker 1: the substance of it quiet. But someone made a comment like, oh,
Speaker 1: but who cares about the plight of the black man?
Speaker 1: And it struck me so that I asked, well, we
Speaker 1: care about the plight of the black man, but what
Speaker 1: does caring about the plight of the black man look
Speaker 1: like to you? And who is doing the caring? And
Speaker 1: it opened up this beautiful wealth of black men sharing
Speaker 1: what it looked like to them to be cared for.
Speaker 1: And people reference thing about family, they reference thing about
Speaker 1: their thoughts about the healthcare system, like if I'm going
Speaker 1: in because my knee hurts and the doctor's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well how long you been doing cracky he or you know,
Speaker 1: different things and their family dynamic, how they're treated at work.
Speaker 1: It was such a beautiful exchange of open feelings. Angela,
Speaker 1: you you remember this, of course, And I just want
Speaker 1: to open that space up here to our brothers, if
Speaker 1: you're watching this, I would love to hear from black
Speaker 1: men what.
Speaker 3: Does it look like to care for you?
Speaker 1: And who is doing the caring? Because we have to
Speaker 1: in our community. It does seem to be some animis
Speaker 1: sometimes when it comes to our politics, when it comes
Speaker 1: to our building family units. So I just want to
Speaker 1: hear from you brothers and give y'all question that or
Speaker 1: drop a video if y'all want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Andrew go ahead.
Speaker 4: To answer your question. Also, what assumptions are made about
Speaker 4: you that folks out to suspend with from here to fourth? So,
Speaker 4: for instance, most black men I know want to do
Speaker 4: the caring and not be cared for. And the way
Speaker 4: in which and the way in which it lands with me, right,
Speaker 4: I'm the one who will shoulder a lot of that
Speaker 4: stuff in my household because I don't want to burden
Speaker 4: my wife. I don't want to burden the family with
Speaker 4: the things that I feel like I need to take
Speaker 4: care of for us, and so add to that, as
Speaker 4: you're responding, are there assumptions that are made about you
Speaker 4: as a black man inside our community and outside that
Speaker 4: you would like to put the rest?
Speaker 5: Well, there's a few things. Y'all went so many places,
Speaker 5: and I want to like chime in on some of
Speaker 5: these things. But one thing I just want to acknowledge
Speaker 5: to going back to something you raised about the mainstream
Speaker 5: media's response or really like the trafficking in the conspiracy
Speaker 5: theory of black men overthrowing the government joining with the
Speaker 5: insurrectionists to support Donald Trump in historic numbers. The thing
Speaker 5: that I think is fascinating is and I was finding
Speaker 5: myself really caught in a conundrum yesterday finding out that
Speaker 5: Lenard's interview with Kamala ran in full on CNN and MSNBC.
Speaker 5: I was elated by that and also troubled by that.
Speaker 5: And the conundrum was, give, however this interview goes, You're
Speaker 5: going to rest the full responsibility of that on black
Speaker 5: men and on Kamala Harris, right, And so I was like,
Speaker 5: I wanted to celebrate the fact that it was getting
Speaker 5: this much attention, but found myself being remarkably worried about
Speaker 5: it when I heard about it later, because it does
Speaker 5: feel like there's this moment in the interview that we
Speaker 5: actually did it pool where Lenard says to her.
Speaker 7: President Obama was out there last week waving his finger
Speaker 7: at black men. When are Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton
Speaker 7: going wave their finger at white women? When a Bill
Speaker 7: Clinton and Joe Biden going wave their finger at white men.
Speaker 7: Because fifty two percent of white women voted for Trump
Speaker 7: in twenty sixteen, fifty five percent voted for Trump in
Speaker 7: twenty twenty, they all voted against their own interests. When
Speaker 7: the fingerwa wave, we're gonna start at them.
Speaker 5: Instead of saying, yeah, they do need to do that,
Speaker 5: Kamla says, well, you know, and to that point, I
Speaker 5: am so happy with them. Not a Republican support that
Speaker 5: I get, And I'm like, yeah, but that's the point.
Speaker 5: The point is everybody.
Speaker 4: Needs to do She made the right point.
Speaker 5: No, no, and I'm not saying there was no really, there's
Speaker 5: no wrong answer there, right, But it's like, you do
Speaker 5: need to have everybody who has influence in their micro
Speaker 5: and their macro spheres of influence talking to each other
Speaker 5: espent like Herago Rivera you know, endorsed her yesterday after
Speaker 5: this interview, like, go talk to your Hispanic conservative leaning
Speaker 5: friends now, Haraldo, I don't really need to see no, no, no, uh.
Speaker 5: What are the things called thank you in my community?
Speaker 5: The eraldo on it? It probably is not gonna move me.
Speaker 5: And then the other thing that I wanted to say
Speaker 5: that urked me about yesterday is, you know, it's really
Speaker 5: hard when you're at this stage in the campaign to
Speaker 5: know the right thing to do. And so you you
Speaker 5: just like they say on the house floor, you vote
Speaker 5: your conscience, you do your conscience. Her conscience led her
Speaker 5: to say, you know what, I can't lose my brothers
Speaker 5: by at any number with to this man or to
Speaker 5: this other person that's running for another color party that
Speaker 5: shall not be named on this here show. She said,
Speaker 5: I'm going to target them in a way that I
Speaker 5: think uplifts them, to let them know that I do care. Right,
Speaker 5: TIF do write Andrew to the point you all were
Speaker 5: just raising there are some fools out here saying she's pandering.
Speaker 5: So I'm like, you are damned if you do, damned
Speaker 5: if you don't. So I refuse to engage in that
Speaker 5: dialogue and want to instead say here are all the
Speaker 5: ways that she's not. Again, the frustration with the NPR
Speaker 5: headline is it trafficked right into that pandering narrative with
Speaker 5: the two items that lifted up from her agenda because
Speaker 5: it was clickbait, not because it was the whole of
Speaker 5: her agenda. And then the last thing I was gonna say,
Speaker 5: tif you brought up this thing about the barber shop.
Speaker 5: You know, I would really like for white folks to
Speaker 5: consider all of the many places that they live their
Speaker 5: lives every day, right, take your kids to school, you
Speaker 5: go grocery shopping, you pay your bills. You might go
Speaker 5: to the post office. If your post office in your
Speaker 5: neighborhood is still working for you, you go to the bank.
Speaker 5: There are all of these places where are actually our
Speaker 5: ideologies do intersect and they do conflict. There are all
Speaker 5: of these places you can go to talk to black folks.
Speaker 5: They are the same places you go to talk to
Speaker 5: white folks and to brown folks. Where do you go
Speaker 5: for fun? You know what artists do you listen to?
Speaker 5: Everybody doesn't have the same ideological bent in those varying areas.
Speaker 5: I encourage you, Yes, we like to get our hair
Speaker 5: did okay? Yes, the dude like to have a fade okay,
Speaker 5: and he might spray paint it on if it ain't
Speaker 5: that I gy, but like, this is not, this is
Speaker 5: not I mean it happens. They even got units, you know,
Speaker 5: the glue that thing on like tracks dudes wear, given
Speaker 5: how you shine, and you do not have a unit.
Speaker 5: But I was just saying that this is these are.
Speaker 3: Like you like this, Andrew.
Speaker 2: I like you.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 4: I'm just going yes.
Speaker 3: On the campaign.
Speaker 5: And I wasn't even talking about you, but it hit
Speaker 5: dog will what Anyway. The point I'm raising is just
Speaker 5: that we need to be more dynamic with our interpretations
Speaker 5: of where black people are. And if you're confused producers,
Speaker 5: if you're confused campaign staff, if you're confused man on
Speaker 5: the street on where to find black people, we are
Speaker 5: your resident. Help us to find where the black people
Speaker 5: are in Native Lampard.
Speaker 4: Welcome right next to you, right.
Speaker 8: Can.
Speaker 3: I I want to say two things.
Speaker 1: One I just want to say Andrew, I think you
Speaker 1: look the best you've ever looked.
Speaker 3: With no hair.
Speaker 5: You have money to do this. You do this every
Speaker 5: three shows, and.
Speaker 1: I was about to go to Angela, well, she's not
Speaker 1: gonna like what I say anyway, But Angela, I think
Speaker 1: you look beautiful today with your big hair.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: And we talked about wearing units these some hair clips
Speaker 1: on the show, and I do you know I can't
Speaker 1: have tracks on My.
Speaker 3: Hair is sanding at the top.
Speaker 4: And then back to the Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, I just wanted to make that point. The
Speaker 1: other point I want to make. I want to toss
Speaker 1: to another bite because Angela was making a good point
Speaker 1: about talk to your people, talk to your community. So
Speaker 1: can we The New York Times did this like video
Speaker 1: kind of roundtable with white women voters, and Angela dropped
Speaker 1: it in our group chat and I took a listen,
Speaker 1: and I was a bit frustrated with the conversation. But
Speaker 1: these are small women who are now there are Republican
Speaker 1: white women voters in Arizona who are now voting for
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris.
Speaker 3: Take a listen.
Speaker 5: I consider myself an original Republican.
Speaker 9: We used to refer to Biden and Kamala in our
Speaker 9: houses the corpse and the cackler.
Speaker 8: I am a lifelong Republican, A smaller government in all
Speaker 8: lower taxes, you know, not intervening in our lives.
Speaker 5: I grew up in the Reagan era, and Reagan was
Speaker 5: a hero in my home, so he was my hero.
Speaker 5: I think in this day and age, you really can't
Speaker 5: say that if someone is pro choice, they must be liberal.
Speaker 10: Abortion is changing the Republican Party this election. Here in Arizona,
Speaker 10: almost a third of Republicans say they'll support Proposition one
Speaker 10: thirty nine, a state ballot measure that would make abortion
Speaker 10: legal until about twenty four weeks.
Speaker 5: I would say twenty years ago that definitely would not
Speaker 5: have been the case.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is my thoughts. I want to hear
Speaker 1: y'all stops on this.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: I mean basically, they're just saying, you know, this is
Speaker 1: how always felt, and now I'm voting for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: So this is my challenge.
Speaker 1: I we are not so selfish a people that we
Speaker 1: can support something that's harming others.
Speaker 3: You know, like even as black people.
Speaker 1: We don't have family in Palestine, but we see what's
Speaker 1: going on there and we're like, no, we got to
Speaker 1: stand in solidarity and hold this administration accountable and push
Speaker 1: for people to do the right thing, push for a
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris when she becomes president elect, to do
Speaker 1: the right thing and call for a ceasefire. We don't
Speaker 1: have to have somebody in the LGBTQ community in our
Speaker 1: family to believe in equality and rights and that people
Speaker 1: deserve a right to safety. It really effing frustrates me
Speaker 1: that these group of white women, it's a whole pocket
Speaker 1: of conservative white women out there who live like this,
Speaker 1: who have helped create this landscape, who voted for Donald
Speaker 1: Trump in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, But now that
Speaker 1: you're cannibalizing and Frankenstein has come for your rights, now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you are on this side and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for Vice President Harris. While I
Speaker 1: welcome their support, I hope that the conservative white women
Speaker 1: who are so disillusioned with themselves will take a moment
Speaker 1: and ask how often have I been on the wrong
Speaker 1: side of history and the wrong side of humanity just
Speaker 1: because something did not impact me personally? And I saw
Speaker 1: that video and I'm like, this is not my ally.
Speaker 3: Ain't none of these women in my ally?
Speaker 1: Like you gonna do the right thing this election? But
Speaker 1: I can't count on you if I got to rest
Speaker 1: my life in your hands. I'm real shaky right now,
Speaker 1: So I want I don't want to be in a
Speaker 1: bed exactly, I'm gonna tell you this. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be in a bed with them, I hear it.
Speaker 5: I want to know if they can just take them
Speaker 5: on to take stock of history and ask themselves, ask
Speaker 5: themselves this question, or let me ask you this question.
Speaker 5: Were you there? And if at every single turn when
Speaker 5: black folks, when underserved folks, when people who were voiceless
Speaker 5: and invisible and all of that in this country needed
Speaker 5: your help when we look back at history, were you there?
Speaker 5: And let me help some of y'all, because I know
Speaker 5: that history books are being banned in your kids' schools,
Speaker 5: and the history book that you learned from didn't actually
Speaker 5: paint an accurate picture. So let me answer it for
Speaker 5: you know you were not there that The answer now
Speaker 5: is will you be there? And the answer is yes,
Speaker 5: you can you show better because if you don't, you're
Speaker 5: at risk next. So you don't have to look out
Speaker 5: for me, Frankly, the good book tells you to. But
Speaker 5: you don't have to look out for me. Look out
Speaker 5: for your damn self and you will find that in
Speaker 5: looking out for yourself, you will end up looking out
Speaker 5: for your neighbor. Don't look out for the needs or
Speaker 5: the dreams that you have, look out for the needs
Speaker 5: you have. Be there. Figure out what it means to
Speaker 5: stand in the gap, not just for yourself, but for
Speaker 5: your neighbor. I know that it is hard. I know
Speaker 5: that you like to look back and reflect and say, Damn,
Speaker 5: what did I do. I know it was easy for
Speaker 5: you to donn a pussy hat and go to the
Speaker 5: women's march. I'm telling you I don't want your damn march.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna need you to show up.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: You can march to the post I November fifth, but
Speaker 5: if you find your ass marching in January somewhere, me
Speaker 5: and you're gonna have a talk and it ain't gonna
Speaker 5: be nice.
Speaker 1: Okay, you might call you baby, but we would love
Speaker 1: to call you all. So yeah, remember real qreaking, because
Speaker 1: I know that you want to get in here. But
Speaker 1: I do think they're helping pave the way for fascism. Yes,
Speaker 1: and so I want to play this quick bite that
Speaker 1: took place with charlottne and Vice President Harris, and then
Speaker 1: we'll pick this up on the other side of the break,
Speaker 1: Let's roll that clip.
Speaker 5: It's two very different visions for our nation.
Speaker 11: One mind that is about taking us forward and progress
Speaker 11: and it investing the American people, investing in their ambitions,
Speaker 11: dealing with their challenges, and the other, Donald Trump, is
Speaker 11: about taking us backward.
Speaker 4: The other is about fascism.
Speaker 7: Why can't we just say it.
Speaker 5: Yes, we can't say that.
Speaker 2: Well, come, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 4: No, you all are right about the political violence. I
Speaker 4: won that video y'all to show with the women was
Speaker 4: in part violence. I mean that whole corpse and cackle.
Speaker 4: I'm still kind of injured by that comment, and I
Speaker 4: would just say, just panthetically, and now I want to
Speaker 4: move us aggressively into this conversation or what's happening in
Speaker 4: political violence. And that's simply saying in twenty sixteen, I
Speaker 4: don't remember there being all the articles and stuff about
Speaker 4: fifty two percent of white women voting against a fellow
Speaker 4: white woman. So this whole setup to blame black men.
Speaker 4: I just want to check y'all before you go there.
Speaker 4: Not y'all, but y'all out there before you go there.
Speaker 4: When we start blaming every year the group that keeps
Speaker 4: quote betraying their like person, then I think we got
Speaker 4: some equity. But right now, to put this at the
Speaker 4: feet of any black woman or black man the loss
Speaker 4: or win of an election, we're not driving with that.
Speaker 4: We're the most loyal and we performed and talking about
Speaker 4: loyal y'all Trump's supporters are. This week has been crazy
Speaker 4: because one there's a gas lighting around political violence, like
Speaker 4: our rhetoric has been the reason for it. I just
Speaker 4: want to take a quick look back at what rhetoric
Speaker 4: looks like and who actually started the violence around political
Speaker 4: violent rhetoric in this day and age of elections. What
Speaker 4: was a clip?
Speaker 5: I certainly don't inside violence.
Speaker 4: Doctor crap out of them. I don't don't violence, and
Speaker 4: I don't talk about violence.
Speaker 6: I would have done well, but I would have been
Speaker 6: boom boom, boom up. I don't know if I'll do
Speaker 6: the fighting myself or if other people will. Maybe you
Speaker 6: should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting
Speaker 6: what he was doing. So if you see somebody getting
Speaker 6: ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of him,
Speaker 6: would you seriously like to punch him in the face.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you try not to hurt him. If you do,
Speaker 6: I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about him. In
Speaker 6: the good old days, this doesn't happen because they used
Speaker 6: to treat them very, very rough and when they protested once,
Speaker 6: you know they would not do it again. So easily
Speaker 6: we've become weak, we become weak. The audience hit back,
Speaker 6: and that's what we need a little bit more of now.
Speaker 6: Part of the problem, and part of the reason it
Speaker 6: takes so long, is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore. Right,
Speaker 6: do you plan on paying for the legal fees of
Speaker 6: this older gentleman in North Carolina who sucker punched the protester.
Speaker 6: From what I understand, he was sick sticking a certain
Speaker 6: finger up in the air, and that is a terrible
Speaker 6: thing to do, and in front of somebody that frankly
Speaker 6: wants to see America made great again. It's possible you
Speaker 6: could help him with legal fees if this man needs it.
Speaker 6: I've actually instructed my people to look into it.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, of course, detestable, hard to take. But that
Speaker 4: didn't even get to what he's been saying recently.
Speaker 1: In fact, say really quickly, what because for the people
Speaker 1: who are listening and not watching, that sucker punch moment
Speaker 1: was in twenty sixteen when one of his rally attendees
Speaker 1: literally sucker punts this black man who did have both
Speaker 1: of hiss in the air, who was leaving who And
Speaker 1: that is not illegal, that is not inciting any violence.
Speaker 1: He had his middle finger in the air justlike this,
Speaker 1: and an older white man punched him in the face.
Speaker 4: And that's where Trump says, I've instructed my staff to
Speaker 4: look into his legal defense, right. And then just this week,
Speaker 4: Trump has threatened his political enemy, saying that the enemies within,
Speaker 4: including Adam Schiff, a member of the US Congress in
Speaker 4: Kennedy for the US Senate out of California, was upon
Speaker 4: the list of domestic enemies to which he would direct,
Speaker 4: if president, the US military and the National Guard to
Speaker 4: handle to take care of, to remove his political enemies. Fascism, man,
Speaker 4: I wish it captured the totality of what this guy's doing, y'all.
Speaker 4: Simply my theory is, I think Trump has reckoned with
Speaker 4: the fact that he's likely not going to win the
Speaker 4: popular vote and won't win the electoral college, and he
Speaker 4: is setting the stage for what he wants his followers
Speaker 4: to do by way of turning over this election. Well,
Speaker 4: they got to set back in Georgia this week because
Speaker 4: the courts said a certification of the elections by the
Speaker 4: state Elections Board is not a choice, It is not
Speaker 4: an option, it is mandatory according to the constitution of
Speaker 4: the state of Georgia. That was an important win for US,
Speaker 4: and the judge went further in a separate court decision
Speaker 4: and said that hand counting ballots in this twenty twenty
Speaker 4: four election is too much. We are going to delay
Speaker 4: that decision till after the election. And I'll just say parenthetically,
Speaker 4: if there was a Section five of the Voting Rights
Speaker 4: a still intact, that effort to pass that law this
Speaker 4: close to the election would never have taken place, and
Speaker 4: a civil rights division of the US Attorney General's Office
Speaker 4: would have flagged this and basically said that this is
Speaker 4: electoral interference in an effort to suppress voters. I know
Speaker 4: y'all got to be alarmed, because I'm certainly concerned about
Speaker 4: what I think is the preface being set for what
Speaker 4: he wants his followers to do post election.
Speaker 1: Well, before you get into the legal stuff, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about the physical violence really quickly, because and
Speaker 1: I just want to point this out. The frustrating part
Speaker 1: of this is after he said the enemy within and
Speaker 1: talked about using the military, slew of his sycophants and
Speaker 1: supporters were across the cable news screen saying, no, that's
Speaker 1: not what he means, and he's being metaphorical. And then
Speaker 1: they asked Trump in an interview and he was very clear, No,
Speaker 1: that is what I mean.
Speaker 3: I am not for the least minute confused that.
Speaker 1: Of course, his sick of know that they are spitting
Speaker 1: in your face trying to convince you that is reigning.
Speaker 1: They know full well who this man is, and they
Speaker 1: are perfectly okay with him inciting this kind of violence because,
Speaker 1: like I said, they would rather see this country burn
Speaker 1: to the ground before they see a black woman run it.
Speaker 1: That is a frightening time the media that's talking about this,
Speaker 1: who are saying things like, oh, well, Trump's rhetoric has
Speaker 1: taken a dark tone. The fact that we're talking about
Speaker 1: it like this, instead of saying a man is pursuing
Speaker 1: office who is a threat to America and threatening Americans,
Speaker 1: is literally threatening violence and treating it like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: a dark tone.
Speaker 3: This is not a dark tone.
Speaker 1: He is telling you what he's going to do, so
Speaker 1: please spare me when this happens and everyone says, oh,
Speaker 1: but this is not American and we can't believe it's happened.
Speaker 1: He's telling you right now what he'll do. Angela, what
Speaker 1: you got?
Speaker 5: I want to well, I was gonna pivot to some
Speaker 5: of the legal stuff. There's a really good article in
Speaker 5: the USA Today that flags for us to watch certain counties.
Speaker 5: And these counties are all in battleground states. For those
Speaker 5: of you at home who are like, listen, all I
Speaker 5: do is cast my ballot, and I don't know the
Speaker 5: rest of this stuff. The most important thing to understand,
Speaker 5: regardless of the election is counties control the election results. Andrew,
Speaker 5: I know you know this firsthand and have experienced this firsthand.
Speaker 5: And so what I will say to you is we
Speaker 5: have been asleep at the switch. There have been folks
Speaker 5: that have been working to undermine the outcome of elections
Speaker 5: for many, many years in Republican state controlled legislatures. Some
Speaker 5: of these county boards, these commissions, they work to undermine
Speaker 5: some of these results. The three counties that this USA
Speaker 5: Today article points out is I don't know if I'm
Speaker 5: saying this right, but coach Iise County in Arizona, I
Speaker 5: might be saying it Wrongchise County in Arizona. If you
Speaker 5: can take a TIFFs version or just look it up when.
Speaker 1: We're going to think because I'm just thinking of the
Speaker 1: Native American. Yeah, I think it's okay, but I'm a
Speaker 1: defer to tip on that one.
Speaker 5: The next one is Fulton County, not in Georgia, Fulton County, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5: And then the final one is Spaldon County, Georgia. Why
Speaker 5: is it important to look at this? There's a whole
Speaker 5: article talking about all of the ways that these counties
Speaker 5: have been in fights with their legislatures. The one in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 5: Fulton County in Pennsylvania. Maybe you guys remember hearing about
Speaker 5: dominion the voting machines. There's a whole battle to say
Speaker 5: that the Secretary of State doesn't have the authority to
Speaker 5: undermine the voting machines they used, even though there was
Speaker 5: a company that they were trying to use to audit
Speaker 5: what the dominion machines election results were turning out. What
Speaker 5: I'm trying to tell you is they will convince you
Speaker 5: that the reason there is a fight, the reason why
Speaker 5: people should get violent, is because there is fraud happening,
Speaker 5: and that folks were working to overturn what the actual
Speaker 5: results were. They have been trying to create situations that
Speaker 5: undermine the confidence in the voting processes, not just in
Speaker 5: these three counties, but these are three of the latest examples.
Speaker 5: So pay attention. If you all are in battleground states
Speaker 5: in particular, pay special attention. Google the names of your
Speaker 5: counties and see what kind of nonsense has probably been
Speaker 5: happening for over a decade. They've been mad about this
Speaker 5: since Barack Obama was the president. Okay, so pay attention. Yeah,
Speaker 5: of course, but I'm saying it was at a height
Speaker 5: alert after he became president. We saw voter id laws
Speaker 5: on the books. We saw the elimination of early voting
Speaker 5: days or cutting back of early voting days. We saw
Speaker 5: restrictions on absentee voting. All of those things happened after
Speaker 5: they found out America could elect a black president. So
Speaker 5: pay attention.
Speaker 4: That's right, and Angela, excellent points, both of you. I
Speaker 4: just want to mention the fall safe that we have
Speaker 4: some comfort around y'all, is that with the exception of
Speaker 4: maybe one or two states that every one of the
Speaker 4: battleground states has at least a Democratic governor or a
Speaker 4: Democratic secretary of state. In many of these battleground states
Speaker 4: they have both the state of Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia,
Speaker 4: and the governor and the secretary of state of both
Speaker 4: the Republicans, but both have said that they will certify
Speaker 4: elections and follow the constitution of the state Minnesota, obviously,
Speaker 4: where the vice presidential nomine of the Democratic side, Tim
Speaker 4: Wallas is from Nevada, Pennsylvania, And I don't know, y'all,
Speaker 4: off is battleground, but after this next clip you may
Speaker 4: think so. The state of Texas, where they do not
Speaker 4: have a Democratic governor, they have a Republican governor and
Speaker 4: a Republican secretary of State, and they have done everything
Speaker 4: they can around voter suppression. But they also have a
Speaker 4: very interesting US Senate race that is tightening.
Speaker 8: Oh that was really something I have to say. You
Speaker 8: can't be for the mob on January sixth, and for
Speaker 8: the officers. You can't, and it's not funny because you're
Speaker 8: a threat to democracy. Sure, I was on the Senate,
Speaker 8: I was on the house floor when we went through
Speaker 8: the votes. I remember when you objected to the results
Speaker 8: in Arizona, y'all at home. I remember where you were
Speaker 8: on January sixth, what you were doing. I know where
Speaker 8: I was, and I know where he was. I remember
Speaker 8: when they told us to reach under our seats for
Speaker 8: these gas masks. I didn't know we had because they
Speaker 8: had deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked
Speaker 8: all the doors.
Speaker 12: We borrowed the doors.
Speaker 8: The President walks through to deliver the State of the
Speaker 8: Union with furniture that we usually use to hold paper.
Speaker 8: And I texted my wife Ally, he was seven months
Speaker 8: pregnant with our son Cameron, and at home with our
Speaker 8: son Jordan, who wasn't yet to whatever happens.
Speaker 4: I love you.
Speaker 8: I took off my suit jacket, and I was prepared
Speaker 8: to defend the house floor from the mob. At the
Speaker 8: same time, after he'd gone around the country lying about
Speaker 8: the election, after he'd been the architect of the attempt
Speaker 8: to overthrow that election. When that mob came, Sanata Cruz
Speaker 8: was hiding in a supply closet, and that's okay. I
Speaker 8: don't want him to get hurt by the mob, but
Speaker 8: I really don't. This election is his accountability. You cannot
Speaker 8: be just be patriotic when your side wins. If for
Speaker 8: the first time in two hundred and fifty years, this
Speaker 8: project of ours, this shared American project, and we did
Speaker 8: not have a peaceful transfer of power, the folks responsible
Speaker 8: have to be held accountable. That's why Liz Cheney has
Speaker 8: endorsement as it got involved in this campaign as saying
Speaker 8: to Texans everywhere, do not put Ted Cruz back in
Speaker 8: the position of authority, because he's done it once, he'll
Speaker 8: do it again.
Speaker 4: One that was I thought extremely brilliant and for those
Speaker 4: at home, that was just a clip from the debate
Speaker 4: that took place in the Texas US Senate race against
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz. That was Colin Congressman Colin Alwred who provided
Speaker 4: a brilliant response to Ted Cruz basically going on and
Speaker 4: on and on about I protect law enforcement and if
Speaker 4: you break the law, if you do violence, you should
Speaker 4: be arrested, and basically tried to have it both ways.
Speaker 4: You can't be for the January six folks, and also
Speaker 4: for law enforcement. They came in there and injured law enforcement.
Speaker 4: So the political violence that we've been talking about we
Speaker 4: cannot forget what happened on January sixth, and Congressman Alway
Speaker 4: was trying to remind the voters of Texas that this
Speaker 4: guy basically supported it in the overthrow. But that's the ladies,
Speaker 4: what I was getting.
Speaker 5: Out about House.
Speaker 4: Arizona, Arizona, Arizona. But but, but, but again, there are
Speaker 4: conditions in the US Constitution that will dictate what will
Speaker 4: happen this time next year, well January fifth or sixth
Speaker 4: next year, when the Congress comes back to Washington, d C.
Speaker 4: And all that we are seeing right now in the
Speaker 4: political climate being perpetuated by Donald Trump and his sickle
Speaker 4: fans is in my opinion, and I think it's one
Speaker 4: that shared is the setup. This is the lead up.
Speaker 4: Now we're now we're watching it with our eyes wide open.
Speaker 4: They were doing it last time, but we didn't. We didn't.
Speaker 4: I don't think any of us fathomed that it could
Speaker 4: have resulted in what what we saw on January sixth.
Speaker 4: But I believe this is the stoking of it again.
Speaker 4: And so if I know you, you had something on
Speaker 4: political violence as well.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 1: I just I'm glad that we just heard that clip
Speaker 1: because we have to keep reminding people what happened on
Speaker 1: January sixth. The attention span of the American electorate is
Speaker 1: like that, you know, and it's so and I think
Speaker 1: that's part of their strategy on the right right, you know,
Speaker 1: they sell they are agents of chaos. There are so
Speaker 1: many things. I always say, trying to cover Donald Trump
Speaker 1: was like trying to catch confetti. There was so much
Speaker 1: all the time. And if everything is breaking news, then
Speaker 1: nothing becomes breaking news. We're talking about the courts. That
Speaker 1: is political violence. We talked about, you know, voter suppression,
Speaker 1: that is political violence. But then it's just that fisticuffs,
Speaker 1: you know, that hand to hand combat, and that is
Speaker 1: a legitimate thing that causes me great concern. I will
Speaker 1: tell you guys, my personal concern about it is my
Speaker 1: brother is a truck driver and as this election has
Speaker 1: taken a turn, he has come face to face with
Speaker 1: verbal violence, threats of physical violence to him from other
Speaker 1: truck drivers, very racist comments on the cl from people.
Speaker 1: And it just frightens me, you know, because I'm like,
Speaker 1: my thought is, should Vice President Harris be victorious, which
Speaker 1: I believe that she will have we really won. You know,
Speaker 1: what happens the day after what happens after inauguration, what
Speaker 1: happens while she's in office when we have a significant
Speaker 1: amount of people in this country who've already decided we
Speaker 1: will not accept election results that we don't like. And
Speaker 1: so I know there are all these other things that
Speaker 1: are of concern, but I'm also literally concerned about just
Speaker 1: that fisticus, you know, like when somebody's I don't like this,
Speaker 1: I don't like you, and we may not be confronted
Speaker 1: with that. We may, but we may not be confronted
Speaker 1: with that. But it might be an attitude from the
Speaker 1: flight attendant, a pilot saying they feel threatened because we
Speaker 1: got on a KDH T shirt on the plane. It
Speaker 1: might result in our educators keep treating our students differently.
Speaker 1: It just feels like we're going back to a time
Speaker 1: where people are emboldened to be shitty to us and
Speaker 1: to invite confrontation from us.
Speaker 3: And I don't know where we go from here.
Speaker 4: I take your point, and I'd like to give you
Speaker 4: an example of it.
Speaker 13: There's signs branding him a divider, even a threat to America.
Speaker 14: Have you concerned that you might be choking more racial
Speaker 14: violence from no Dot.
Speaker 13: At are It's a question. He's faced for years, accused
Speaker 13: of fanning the fires of hatred.
Speaker 14: When you bash immigrants, when you bash refugees, when you
Speaker 14: say we want to put up a wall, when you
Speaker 14: say we want to ban all Muslims. It doesn't it's
Speaker 14: not responsible for it, but it does cause this cauldron.
Speaker 13: President Trump disagrees, well.
Speaker 6: I think my red arch is a very It brings
Speaker 6: people together.
Speaker 13: But does it the President and his words appearing in
Speaker 13: scores of police reports and courtrooms. After these two brothers
Speaker 13: beat a sleeping homeless man in Boston, one of them
Speaker 13: telling police Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need
Speaker 13: to be deported. The victim was in the country legally,
Speaker 13: and this Cleveland man attacked his African American neighbors with
Speaker 13: a knife and then tells police Donald Trump will fix
Speaker 13: them because they are scared of Donald Trump. And watch
Speaker 13: this video from Gainesville, Florida. A Latino man is working
Speaker 13: outside of his convenience store when he says a stranger
Speaker 13: suddenly bashes him in the head. Moments later, the victim
Speaker 13: describing the attack, bro I said this. After reviewing hundreds
Speaker 13: of police reports and court records from across the country,
Speaker 13: ABC News found more than fifty criminal cases where Donald
Speaker 13: Trump was explicitly invoked in relation to violent acts, threats,
Speaker 13: or alleged assaults.
Speaker 3: And it's frightened.
Speaker 4: There's the evidence that's frighten, so scared.
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, because how do you combat that? And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we've already been through as a people.
Speaker 1: And I'm so concerned because my brother suffers no fool,
Speaker 1: you know, like he he don't always make if somebody
Speaker 1: is confronting him, Yes, yes, he And I keep telling
Speaker 1: it's not worth it, like let them have a last
Speaker 1: every insult don't deserve a response, you know, let them
Speaker 1: have a last word. They're saying something. But I'm just
Speaker 1: so frightened. And I think about mothers out there who
Speaker 1: are frightened sending their kids to run to the grocery
Speaker 1: store and you get pulled over by a cop or
Speaker 1: you know, your babies are out in this world to
Speaker 1: be subjected to that treatment, or are y'all my co hosts,
Speaker 1: our friends, our physical person can be confronted by these people.
Speaker 1: And I really, I don't know, guys, I really the
Speaker 1: Civil War did not begin with the first bayonet shot
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: The Civil War started well before that, and it feels
Speaker 1: like we are in that kind of environment. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all willy.
Speaker 4: That he's stoking. This is exactly what he's stoking in.
Speaker 4: This is exactly what he wants us to feel. And
Speaker 4: you know what, y'all, I can't wait to if we
Speaker 4: ever get there again, go back to the days where
Speaker 4: elections actually solved election issues resolve them, rather than it
Speaker 4: being one stage in the process and the next stage
Speaker 4: being can we survive a peaceful transfer of power? Yeah,
Speaker 4: we didn't never have this question, including by the way,
Speaker 4: during Lincoln's first election. We can have these questions until
Speaker 4: Donald Trump decided he was going to parrot to example
Speaker 4: what it meant to have a violent transfer of power
Speaker 4: in America. And now he is. He is. He is,
Speaker 4: in my opinion, foaming for stage two of it. But y'all,
Speaker 4: we gotta win stage one first. No, I believe we
Speaker 4: will prevail in stage two, but we got to We've
Speaker 4: got to win stage one, and that's us getting out
Speaker 4: and voting overwhelmingly for our choice for president.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 5: I was thinking about like that as we were watching
Speaker 5: that video and listening to it. For those of you
Speaker 5: who are listening about all the violent attacks. I really
Speaker 5: was thinking about when I was driving to my Wilberforest
Speaker 5: University board meeting last week and all the Trump signs
Speaker 5: I was seen, and when I was on the phone,
Speaker 5: I was on the phone my best friend and I
Speaker 5: started because I was so upset. I was like, I
Speaker 5: cannot believe these people. And I know I'm in Ohio
Speaker 5: right like it's the back roads of Ohio, Like I
Speaker 5: know what I'm up against, but it was so triggering.
Speaker 5: And then the very next day when I got to
Speaker 5: New York, I saw this man. I was going to
Speaker 5: meet with our friend Alicia, and this man walked back
Speaker 5: and forth in front of me three times. We're going
Speaker 5: to make America great again hat and I literally felt
Speaker 5: that same rage, but I was tense, like bracing because
Speaker 5: I was afraid, Like I was like, what if he
Speaker 5: recognizes me? Why does he keep walking right back and forth?
Speaker 5: It was right by the Tiger tiff. He walked back
Speaker 5: and forth three times. The first two times it was
Speaker 5: just me. Then when Alisi was there was one more
Speaker 5: time and I was asking Alisa, I was like, what
Speaker 5: is he doing? And I think, really this, I think
Speaker 5: this is what it is. I'm afraid of what they
Speaker 5: do when they see other. I don't know. I think
Speaker 5: that what I was bracing for is, you know, what
Speaker 5: happens when they see me driving. They don't know anything
Speaker 5: about me, But what we do know about Trump supporters
Speaker 5: is that other is not welcome. And I think that
Speaker 5: there is this bracing for violence, bracing for some type
Speaker 5: of verbal assault, bracing for some type of altercation. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I have had on Kamala stuff going through the airport.
Speaker 5: What do they do when they see that?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 5: Like, it's not like colors and signs and gangs, Like
Speaker 5: what is the drive by for? You know? And I
Speaker 5: really think that it is fascinating. And they've got to
Speaker 5: come to terms with the fact that they are just
Speaker 5: standing up for someone who is, you know, who wrote
Speaker 5: their name on a stimulus check. They aren't just standing
Speaker 5: up for someone who supported and pushed forth billionaire tax cuts,
Speaker 5: even to the detriment of the national deficit in this country.
Speaker 5: This isn't someone who just coddled up and cozied up
Speaker 5: to world dictators, including Vladimir Putin. Is being played like
Speaker 5: a fiddle by them. But it's too dumb to realize it.
Speaker 5: This is someone who also used the full strength of
Speaker 5: his bully pulpit to support indoors, condone and and push
Speaker 5: forth violence. So yeah, like, pardon me for being concerned
Speaker 5: and a little afraid, but like, if we got to
Speaker 5: throw these things, I'm ready. But I'm like, I really
Speaker 5: don't want you to run a bond me because my
Speaker 5: ass going to jail you.
Speaker 4: And that's the danger and that's and that's the danger
Speaker 4: of the damn. What they met before was a civilized
Speaker 4: person prepared to meet you, meet your dog, you know,
Speaker 4: underground beneath the earth self with civilization. Now this next time,
Speaker 4: you might not meet the civilized version of me. And
Speaker 4: I think that's the damn breaking is that they're folks
Speaker 4: who are prepared to defend democracy, defend the constitutional election,
Speaker 4: theself CaMLA Harris is the next president thing, and are
Speaker 4: willing well, of course, protect themselves and the people who
Speaker 4: are around them.
Speaker 3: My family, you ain't gonna meet.
Speaker 4: You ain't gonna meet civilizations.
Speaker 1: So don't get it to us that my life is
Speaker 1: if you approaching me, I'm gonna assume my life is.
Speaker 1: If you're approaching one of my friends, I gotta assume
Speaker 1: their life is in danger, and if you approaching somebody
Speaker 1: who looks like me, you approaching us because I can't
Speaker 1: leave anybody behind either, right right, Yeah, this.
Speaker 4: Question we're about to take.
Speaker 9: Hey, Native Lampard, this is Nikki from Brooklyn. Thank you
Speaker 9: guys for all of the work that you do. Your
Speaker 9: podcast is amazing. I have a minor request. So I
Speaker 9: know that the focus is the presidency, which it should be,
Speaker 9: but I also heard that there are a ton of
Speaker 9: seats that are up for reelection in the Senate. Could
Speaker 9: you guys do an episode on those seats that are
Speaker 9: up and the Democratic and progressive candidates that are on
Speaker 9: the ticket, and who you think we should vote for
Speaker 9: in those seats. I think that'll be super duper helpful.
Speaker 9: Everyone is just like laser focus on the presidency, which
Speaker 9: is super important, but I think keeping the Senate is
Speaker 9: also super important, just in case the orange grye lens.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 4: Bye Uh. That's such a good question. I hate the thought,
Speaker 4: but yes, that is a good question. Angel. I think
Speaker 4: we should accept that challenge and dive deep on some
Speaker 4: of those Senate races. Let's take it could be yeah,
Speaker 4: let's take let's take the clip we saw earlier with
Speaker 4: Colin uh Alred where we see in the state of
Speaker 4: Texas a remarkably close race. Yeah, that's unveloping. Unveloping there,
Speaker 4: and I would add to it. While we won't be
Speaker 4: able to do the deep drive on each of the
Speaker 4: Senate races in this episode at this moment, that we
Speaker 4: also ought to include some of these house seats that
Speaker 4: are looking vulnerable and stand in the way of Hi
Speaker 4: Kim Jeffreys speakership, which I think all of us are
Speaker 4: rooting for, and I think we got to get real
Speaker 4: real about what the possibilities are in that, especially if
Speaker 4: if Kamala Harris wins, what kind of support she can
Speaker 4: look forward to getting her legislation.
Speaker 5: If I can, I just I want to tap into
Speaker 5: some of these though. There's one race in particular that
Speaker 5: we hadn't been talking about in Indiana. It was flagged
Speaker 5: for us by a viewer in our DMS, and there's
Speaker 5: a black woman running in Indiana almost has received no attention,
Speaker 5: I think in part because they decided that it's gonna
Speaker 5: lean solidly Republican. I also want to flag for you
Speaker 5: all this tex this Texas race with Senator Ted Cruz
Speaker 5: and Congressman Colin already that we played earlier. I think
Speaker 5: Colin has a really good chance. The other thing is
Speaker 5: there is a Michigan race where it's open, it's a
Speaker 5: toss up by most polls. Shared Brown, who is a
Speaker 5: has a has a tremendous legacy in the Senate and
Speaker 5: has been in office for a long time. His seat
Speaker 5: is a toss up. Uh Tammy Baldwin and Wisconsin they're
Speaker 5: saying her seat is a toss up. So all of
Speaker 5: these are important for you all to get out and
Speaker 5: vote for them. And then in Montana, maybe we got
Speaker 5: some black listeners in Montana, maybe we got some white
Speaker 5: folks high white people in Montana. John Tester is also
Speaker 5: at risk. So I would flag all of those. And
Speaker 5: then Reuben Diego's I think is looking good in Arizona.
Speaker 5: They said that that leans democratic, and so is Jackie
Speaker 5: Roseen in Nevada. So there are some others, but I
Speaker 5: just those.
Speaker 3: Are the ones you talk about. Alsin Brooks, oh.
Speaker 5: Angela, also Brooks and Maryland. We need that for history,
Speaker 5: and we also do not want to lose Maryland because
Speaker 5: we don't want to give that to Larry Hogan, who's
Speaker 5: of course the past governor and then lastly, and certainly
Speaker 5: not least, is Lisa Blood Rochester in Delaware. That is likely.
Speaker 5: I think she is too, but I just want to
Speaker 5: make sure we know that would also be a history
Speaker 5: making seat. So even if you're not in Delaware, make
Speaker 5: sure you lift up those two black women who would
Speaker 5: be joining the Senate ranks only to become the fourth
Speaker 5: and fifth black people in the Senate right now. That's Angela,
Speaker 5: also Brooks and Maryland and Lisa Bloin Rochester.
Speaker 4: Angela just did that.
Speaker 1: In what point she's the if Angela also Brooks, some
Speaker 1: Lisa Blunt Rochester, when they would be the only two
Speaker 1: black women in the Senate right now we have none.
Speaker 1: This woman in Indiana when that viewer of flat we
Speaker 1: met her somewhere. I think we were at Essence Festival
Speaker 1: when we met her and took a picture and then
Speaker 1: she sent us that DM. I'll be honest, I had
Speaker 1: never heard of the woman running in Indiana. And I
Speaker 1: think the reason why, and this is something else that
Speaker 1: we have to disrupt, is the donor class is largely
Speaker 1: white and male. They have been able to decide who
Speaker 1: they think is a viable candidate.
Speaker 3: But just consider if.
Speaker 1: They are the if they are deputizing themselves as the
Speaker 1: gatekeepers of who will advance. They did that in Florida,
Speaker 1: and they had already decided that this white woman was
Speaker 1: a Democratic apparent, the heir apparent to be the Democratic nominee.
Speaker 1: The mainstream media had talked about that when we all knew,
Speaker 1: you know, that Andrew was gaining numbers there and you know, arguably,
Speaker 1: inarguably some would say one that that that race. But
Speaker 1: you know, certain sides have a propensity for meddling in elections.
Speaker 1: I know you get tired of hearing about it, Andrew,
Speaker 1: No no, no, I mean comments all the time like
Speaker 1: Andrew one I voted for you and they.
Speaker 4: But the point you're making is essential, which is how
Speaker 4: who is the screener that that, you know, how they
Speaker 4: say you sift out, you sift that who is what?
Speaker 4: Who is the sifter made of? And the sifter is
Speaker 4: oftentimes made of people who do not share our lived experience,
Speaker 4: who don't know what it's like one day or the
Speaker 4: week to live like a regular person, and they're choosing
Speaker 4: the people who give them comfort. Yeah, and so we
Speaker 4: we we've got to be a mindful of that. But
Speaker 4: that's what I say really quick post this side.
Speaker 5: Sorry, because this would be a third black woman in
Speaker 5: the Senate if we are able to help Valerie McCrae,
Speaker 5: that is the woman in Indiana. I wanted to make
Speaker 5: sure I got her name right. We have asked her
Speaker 5: to send in a video so that we can play
Speaker 5: it our native lampid. Of course, doctor McCray, because she
Speaker 5: is a PhD as well, you are welcome to send
Speaker 5: that in at any point before the elect We would
Speaker 5: love to hear more from you in your platform. I
Speaker 5: do think that it is time out for the d
Speaker 5: SCC to have the stranglehold that it has on these races.
Speaker 5: They normally decide that black people in areas that are
Speaker 5: not completely blue, and even in those instances, that they
Speaker 5: are not worth funding. And I think that that has
Speaker 5: got to shift. There are black people in there that
Speaker 5: want it to change, but they need more support so that,
Speaker 5: you know, hopefully when Hakem is the Speaker of the House,
Speaker 5: he can you know, add a thumb to that scale.
Speaker 5: It has to change, and it needs to change. Yesterday,
Speaker 5: we don't know what would have happened if this very
Speaker 5: clearly educated black woman who is from Indiana would have
Speaker 5: been given a shot just with some additional resources, what
Speaker 5: could have happened. But miracles do happen, So let's see
Speaker 5: what happens.
Speaker 3: Before let's audience.
Speaker 1: But the SCC is the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Minimum Committee,
Speaker 1: who you know, is the campaign arm of the upper
Speaker 1: chamber in Congress, the Senate. And then you have you'll
Speaker 1: hear us sometimes reference the D trip or the D
Speaker 1: triple C, and that is the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee,
Speaker 1: which is the campaign arm of the lower chamber in Congress,
Speaker 1: the House.
Speaker 4: So and between those two committees the biggest donors to
Speaker 4: the Senate and House races, respectively. That they deem to
Speaker 4: be competitive.
Speaker 1: And they have a whole staff of people, they issue
Speaker 1: contracts to people. So this is why we're saying you,
Speaker 1: I understand there's a lot of frustration in the system,
Speaker 1: but you do have to participate in the system, even
Speaker 1: if your intention is to disrupt it, to understand it
Speaker 1: and then hold that door open and bring in other
Speaker 1: people so that our American political landscape can actually reflect
Speaker 1: America for the first time.
Speaker 4: So, Angela, you're taking us to us region.
Speaker 5: Now it's time to say goodbye to all my negro ference.
Speaker 5: That is so said.
Speaker 10: In.
Speaker 5: Uh, yeah, Andrew, Noah, have mercy you know you know?
Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah, okay, I didn't. Either way, y'all will
Speaker 5: never know. Here's what I want to talk about. For
Speaker 5: those of you who do know those of you don't.
Speaker 5: It is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last October. Uh
Speaker 5: my mother turned eighty and with her eightieth birthday, she
Speaker 5: also found a lump in her breast. A couple of
Speaker 5: weeks later, which would be my birthday. We were told
Speaker 5: that it was the after the biopsy attested positive for cancer.
Speaker 5: She at that time had between stage two and stage
Speaker 5: three triple negative breast cancer. My mom is a no
Speaker 5: limit soldier, okay, because as we sit here today, she
Speaker 5: is breast cancer free. But why I wanted to cancer
Speaker 5: free period? But what I wanted to bring that story
Speaker 5: up you all is because she was on Facebook. My
Speaker 5: dad calls her Facebook Fanny because she's on there quite
Speaker 5: a bit. She was on Facebook and one of her friends,
Speaker 5: her former OBGYN doctor Anita Connell, had posted during National
Speaker 5: Breast Cancer Awareness Month to make sure that you're doing
Speaker 5: your self check exams, that you're getting your mammograms, And
Speaker 5: my mom did a self check and felt something strange.
Speaker 5: So my mom was immediately responsive. She doesn't play about
Speaker 5: her health. We don't know how long it had been there,
Speaker 5: but she got that reminder from doctor Connell last year
Speaker 5: and she checked. I'm telling you all right now, n
Speaker 5: lp fam, I want to be accountable to you. I'm
Speaker 5: overdue for my mammogram. My birthday present to myself this month,
Speaker 5: National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, will be to go and
Speaker 5: get a mammogram, and I will be accountable to you
Speaker 5: all in that way. I ask you to join me
Speaker 5: in doing that, and tell the women in your lives
Speaker 5: to please make sure they go and get checked as well.
Speaker 5: Do those self exams in the shower that feel weird
Speaker 5: where everything feels lumpy, do that too, But get those
Speaker 5: mammograms and get them on time, and make.
Speaker 1: Sure that you look and see how to do it.
Speaker 1: Because if you have like dense breasts, you know, like
Speaker 1: you can feel stuff in there and just like a
Speaker 1: two finger meant.
Speaker 3: It that you do.
Speaker 1: And so I don't know if I ever told you this,
Speaker 1: but I also felt a lump when I well, first
Speaker 1: of all, let me say we love MAMARII.
Speaker 3: Y'all got to beat mam Mariah.
Speaker 1: On the show when they came to get their tickets
Speaker 1: during the Congressional Black Caucus play the Congress Yes, and
Speaker 1: she looks so amazing and they're so go to Angela's
Speaker 1: Instagram because there's so many pictures. My favorite picture of
Speaker 1: you and your mom is when you're fixing her shoe.
Speaker 3: At the ALC dinner.
Speaker 1: But her mom is so beautiful and so sweet. So mamauraih,
Speaker 1: we love you and happy that you were still with us.
Speaker 1: I gave myself an exam and felt a lump and
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of ignorant about my body, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I didn't know all of it. And so they said, oh,
Speaker 1: we need to do a biopsy, and I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what that meant. I thought like, okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna rub my nibble with a Q tip or
Speaker 1: something like. I don't know what that meant. So when
Speaker 1: I got there and I had to like undress and
Speaker 1: she like bought out.
Speaker 3: A needle.
Speaker 1: Where it's the needle going, and so they took a biopsy.
Speaker 1: It turned out to be nothing. It was like some
Speaker 1: like mindless cysts, and they put something in there so
Speaker 1: in case I feel something again, they'll know, Oh that's
Speaker 1: what that is. It's no worries, but the fact that
Speaker 1: I just had no clue. It was fine, I got
Speaker 1: it checked out, It's okay. But we are so quick
Speaker 1: to dismiss our own health and favor of other people.
Speaker 1: We are so quick to normalize our own pain, and
Speaker 1: sometimes our doctors are so quick to dismiss our pain.
Speaker 1: So if you feel something and you want to be
Speaker 1: checked out, and you ask your doctor, well, I want this,
Speaker 1: they say, oh, that's not necessary, you don't need that test.
Speaker 1: Always say well, do you mind just putting that in writing?
Speaker 1: So when my family asked about it, I want to
Speaker 1: be able to say what you did, because when you
Speaker 1: ask a doctor to put something in writing.
Speaker 3: They get real nervous.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, so, and you have every right as
Speaker 1: a patient to say, yeah, can you shoot that to
Speaker 1: me in an email before you leave? You want that
Speaker 1: in writing while you're not getting the test. But I
Speaker 1: love that CTA and we're blessed to have Mama Ray
Speaker 1: deal with us. Andrew was just CTA.
Speaker 4: Well, I just want to I love that ct as well.
Speaker 4: And I just wanted to reference some CNN host Sarah Sidner.
Speaker 4: Is that right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sarah.
Speaker 4: Sarah Sidner did sit down with two of her best
Speaker 4: friends names that we will know. I know. One was
Speaker 4: a list who remember yep seen some which we remember
Speaker 4: of some of us back in the day, and I
Speaker 4: thought it was very powerful. Also also a CNN. I
Speaker 4: don't know if she's the host or a contributor, but
Speaker 4: either way, reporter beautiful but also heart wrenching and devastating
Speaker 4: and made me lift all three of them in prayer
Speaker 4: simultaneously and watching their stories about breast cancer. I think
Speaker 4: all three of the stories were that they founded through
Speaker 4: self examinations, which is I believe not necessarily recommended uh
Speaker 4: in the medical community as much anymore than when you
Speaker 4: come men and get those exams and.
Speaker 5: Real quick.
Speaker 4: It's in the story that I looked at from them
Speaker 4: yesterday that wasn't not true.
Speaker 5: Scourage you to do self exams, that's not the only
Speaker 5: kind of exam. Every year, we should get annual physicals,
Speaker 5: and during those annual physicals you do them as well.
Speaker 5: But they tell you to regularly self check.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I apologize for that, I miss I misheard it.
Speaker 4: But the annual example is what I was referring to
Speaker 4: with your doctors. But but but anyway, my point was
Speaker 4: to say it was a beautiful, uh example of sisterhood
Speaker 4: the way they held each other. Obviously devastating to see
Speaker 4: all three of those women going through what they're going through,
Speaker 4: but I lift them all in prayer and all of
Speaker 4: you who are fighting similar battles. My only CTA is
Speaker 4: to invite those folks in the cities that we are
Speaker 4: visiting upcoming come out see us, check us out, check
Speaker 4: out the show, and help us grow. Continue to help
Speaker 4: us grow so that as a community we continue to write.
Speaker 3: I love that We'll see you in the day twat.
Speaker 1: My only CTA is inspired by Angela's Just imagine going
Speaker 1: about your life. Everything is fine, you stressed out over things,
Speaker 1: you mad about something, and then you get a diagnosis,
Speaker 1: then you start feeling unwell, like it is such a
Speaker 1: blessing to have your health, all the things that stress
Speaker 1: us out, and then one day.
Speaker 3: Your entire world is rocked.
Speaker 1: I have a friend whose wife was diagnosed with brain tumors.
Speaker 1: I've lost people in life, So just take a moment
Speaker 1: to appreciate your health and maintain your health. Our body
Speaker 1: is our temper. So yes, that is my only CTA,
Speaker 1: and we will see you Saturday in the day. Ty
Speaker 1: if you all have recommendations and this is serious on
Speaker 1: where we need to go eat in the day, twat
Speaker 1: let us know. I know Angela want me to say,
Speaker 1: we want to support some black arms. Oh way, business
Speaker 1: is there? You'll drop your black owned restaurants in Detroit
Speaker 1: where we need to go eat while we're there. And
Speaker 1: then do we want to tell where else we're gonna
Speaker 1: be or we want to wait on that?
Speaker 5: Well, there's actually a graphic up already on social We
Speaker 5: will be in Atlanta next week for spell House Homecoming
Speaker 5: NFL House as an honorary rattler and the main rat right,
Speaker 5: we're gonna be a fam you and of course we're
Speaker 5: we're waiting, but we may be coming to another city
Speaker 5: near you right before election Day and we'll be broadcasting
Speaker 5: live Election Day for what we believe will be a
Speaker 5: historical night.
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to see our friend Albert at spell
Speaker 1: House Homecoming. I'm only saying that because he always says,
Speaker 1: don't reference me, don't mention my name on your podcast.
Speaker 3: I'm just being.
Speaker 5: Hey, Alberbert. Oh, I'm really about to tell it all
Speaker 5: because Albert I also told that you need to be
Speaker 5: at some of these events because you are a former
Speaker 5: member of the White House Council's office. If there was
Speaker 5: anybody that could talk to us about how to preserve
Speaker 5: voting rights, ensure that people's voting rights are protected and
Speaker 5: that they know their rights from an election protection standpoint,
Speaker 5: it is you, good brother. So take my challenge is love.
Speaker 12: Albert.
Speaker 15: Yes, Albert standers at the at the National Basketball Association, he.
Speaker 5: Was at the White House Council IOUs, used to work
Speaker 5: for the city he worked at. I'm telling all this business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all, that's our boy. We're proud of you. So
