That does not translate to everybody else. 235 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 6: I don't want folks going out there and trying that 236 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 6: believing that it's possible.

She alluded to 267 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: some housing policy when she did her economic rollout in 268 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: North Carolina. 269 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 8: What did you make of the specific points that she 270 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 8: made about housing? 271 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: Because so many people in our community, generationally, we've had 272 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: to battle redline communities. Now we're battling challenges with banking 273 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: and financing. I know in Georgia that's a big issue. 274 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: What did you make of her policy points and what 275 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: advice might you offer when it comes to home ownership? 276 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: And the policy that she builds around now. 277 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 10: She wrote them the list of her I had a 278 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 10: little input on that. I did have some input in it. 279 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 10: What we are talking about is making sure that we 280 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 10: can have home ownership we have for so long. You 281 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 10: said it right, whether it be redlining, whether it be 282 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 10: the increasing rents. What we know is that housing is 283 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 10: a crisis in this country, but it is especially a 284 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 10: crisis in core communities and communities like ours. What are 285 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 10: you going to hear is how we're going to address 286 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 10: down payment assistance. What you're going to hear is how 287 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 10: we can keep people in their homes. What you're going 288 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 10: to hear is we have started programs. We have actually 289 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 10: sued appraises and they have now finally decided that they're 290 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 10: going to change the way they appraise properties in our neighborhoods. 291 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 10: We are looking at how we can make more people 292 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 10: of color credit worthy by not counting double basically for 293 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 10: student loan debt credit card. So we are finding ways 294 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 10: to make an easier process. But in the meantime, what 295 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 10: we are doing is we are also making it easier 296 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 10: for people to live in housing that we have by 297 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 10: assisting with more resources for rent more resources for public 298 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 10: housing and the one thing that I'm really, really very 299 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 10: proud of, and she probably won't mention it, but I 300 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 10: think that you need to know. When I first came 301 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 10: to HUD, if you had a criminal record, you could 302 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 10: not live in public houses. We changed that. 303 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 9: Yes, I did it on my way out the door. 304 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 10: Because we have. 305 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 5: Secretary of Judge. Like, that's something that y'all should be 306 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 5: making billboards about. 307 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 10: We should, but you know, sometimes you can't tell people 308 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 10: what you. 309 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 13: Do it until it's done. 310 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 10: But now it's done, and so we're telling people because 311 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 10: it brings families together. If people come out of out 312 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 10: of incarcerated situations and they have no place to go, 313 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 10: the rate of citivism goes up really, really hot. So 314 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 10: we're trying to do away with that. But we are 315 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 10: working very diligently and you will see some I don't 316 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 10: want to preempt her speech, but you are going to 317 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 10: see that she is serious about housing in this country, 318 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 10: whether it's private equity people coming in and buying houses 319 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 10: up in our community. They literally told me that they 320 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 10: will buy a house in six minutes. They'll make a 321 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 10: decision to come into my neighborhood and buy a house 322 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 10: in six minutes, they put a few thousand dollars in it. 323 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 10: They raise the rent so that the people who live 324 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 10: there can't live there anymore. So we're dealing with those issues. 325 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 5: So her speech tomorrow is going to be heavy on policy, 326 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 5: because that's one of the thing that you know, listeners 327 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 5: were calling in the breakfast club this week saying that 328 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 5: they don't feel like they're hearing enough policy talk here 329 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 5: at the DNC. 330 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 7: So is she going to focus on that heavy tomorrow? 331 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 10: She is going to focus on policy, and she is 332 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 10: going to address housing. Wow, not as in depth as 333 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 10: I have, but you will know that it is a priority, 334 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 10: and it is a. 335 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 4: Priority I You know, one of the things Vin Special 336 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 4: I think is so important is a black woman is 337 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 4: running for president. 338 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: You are serving as a. 339 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: Black woman campaign the co chair, and I have never 340 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 4: known you to back away from any black issue.

But can you please tell 346 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 4: the listeners who are somehow still skeptical, the viewers who 347 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 4: are somehow still skeptical. 348 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 3: Why this is not a question for you at all? 349 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: Why you're very clear about that. 350 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 10: Let me say first this, she's black, and in the 351 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 10: other one, let's start. Let's start there. When I first 352 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 10: met Kamala Harris some years ago, the reason we met 353 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 10: is because I was working in black communities to make 354 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 10: sure that my people got something out of our vote. 355 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 7: There you go, and. 356 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 10: Even today, she understands I hold this campaign accountable. 357 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 14: That's right. 358 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 10: I was on a call last week and I was 359 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 10: asking how much money have we put into our community? 360 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 10: How many grassroots organization have we given money to? That 361 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 10: It wasn't a comfortable conversation, but it's a conversation that 362 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 10: we needed to have, and she made clear to them. 363 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 10: Give Marcia Funch what she wants because she knows that 364 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 10: I am her voice for black people, because you know, 365 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 10: I'm an apologetically black, I said, and she is as well. 366 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 10: You know she has a persona that is going to 367 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 10: be important for all people. But do not underestimate her 368 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 10: blackness ever. 369 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 5: Secondary For if a black man in Chicago walked through 370 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 5: you right now, say tell me three tangible things that 371 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 5: the Biden has administration did over the last you know, 372 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 5: three and a half years, almost four years. 373 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 7: What would you say, Well. 374 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 10: Let me start. I can start and give you a 375 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 10: whole lot of them. I'm gonna start with getting us 376 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 10: out of COVID when black people were dying disproportionately, a 377 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 10: fourteen hundred dollars checks, child text credit where we gave children, 378 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 10: every child in the family three hundred dollars a month 379 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 10: for a whole year. 380 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 7: That's right. 381 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 10: Then I can go to the money that we put 382 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 10: in education, in healthcare, the fact that we have done 383 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 10: away with student debt, and I can go on and on. 384 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 10: You want me to do some more? 385 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 14: Answer who. 386 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: I think what's so important about that? Though in Charlottage, 387 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: to your point, disinformation is readily available. So if people 388 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: have those questions as listed, their accomplishments are listed on 389 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: the Biden the White House website. And I encourage people 390 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: to go and seek information yourself, share information responsibly, because 391 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of misinformation and disinformation. Specifically, as you know, 392 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: Charlemagne targeted to black men, and speaking of black men, 393 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: we do want to bring into the conversation. 394 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 10: Democrat Joe Biden nominated and confirmed more black women to 395 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 10: the federal mix. All other presidents come by, not just 396 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 10: he picked up a black vice president, a black Supreme 397 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 10: Court justice, and I can go on, but I'm gonna 398 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 10: leave it to. 399 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 6: Team Child before you in the reason why that's important 400 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 6: because it's not just symbolic because there's a black face. 401 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 6: It's because there's a collective lived experience that when you're 402 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 6: sitting on that bench and you look out into the 403 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 6: courtroom on the events and the prosecution side, and you've 404 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 6: grown up understanding that there's an over incarceration and over 405 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 6: prosecution and over surveillance in our. 406 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 9: Community, then you just happen to take a different approach. 407 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 6: You've seen white judges sit up there at the bench 408 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 6: and say, if it wasn't for your father, right, I 409 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 6: would have you in the slammer because they have personal relationship, 410 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 6: and we don't criminalize that when they have personal relationship. 411 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 5: Judges that kind of humanity when they see us, though, 412 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 5: because a lot of times you see those black judges 413 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 5: understand they don't have that, but you're public defender. 414 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: You're any more public defenders to be elevated. So often 415 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: we pay an outsize on ation to the Supreme Court, 416 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: but the lower courts are also incredibly impactful, specifically specifically 417 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to us in a very unforgiving criminal 418 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: justice system. But mister chair, I know you've been trying 419 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: to get in here, so thank you for doing it. 420 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 8: North Carolina connection. 421 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 14: That my partner right over there. Okay, Now, my Auntie, 422 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 14: my Auntie secretary. 423 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 5: You know I executive produced Jamie's documentary in the Bubble. 424 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 14: In the Bubble, that's right. 425 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 4: It's the phenomenal film. We did a panel on it 426 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 4: this week. 427 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 14: Jamie. 428 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 4: I want to hear from you because I know you 429 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: have to go. He literally carved out a little bit 430 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 4: of time for us. I want the people to hear 431 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 4: from you about why this moment, how this moment feels 432 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: to you, what you are expecting tonight. We haven't even 433 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: got into the jendad that we know. We'll hear from 434 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 4: Tim Wallas tell us all the things well. 435 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 15: Onar one, I want to add something on the black 436 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 15: judges job I and Kamala Harris. Over two hundred judges, 437 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 15: fifty nine of them may have been black. Now, black 438 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 15: people I'm doing my black man only represent about thirteen 439 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 15: percent of the populations fifty nine over that's over twenty 440 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 15: five percent of the judges he has appointed have been black. 441 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 14: This is exactly exactly. 442 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: Trump appointed over two hundred white men the lifetime appointments 443 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: on the federal bench. 444 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 15: That's that's exactly right. But when you think about it, 445 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 15: he's appointed, as the Secretary said, more black women to 446 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 15: the Pelic Court than all presidents combined. And so we 447 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 15: got to give him credits, right, and we got to say, 448 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 15: there's still more work to do. Yes, But when you 449 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 15: think about this administration, what they have done is that 450 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 15: they have transformed things. They even changed the political process. 451 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 15: Right all of my life. We have started the political 452 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 15: process in Iowa, New Hampshire. 453 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 14: And ain't nothing wrong with Ivory in New Hampshire. I 454 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 14: love him. 455 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 15: Good Democrats in that state have been but not very 456 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 15: many of us that live in those state outs. 457 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 14: But this president and this vice president said, we got 458 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 14: to change that. 459 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 15: If we keep saying that black folks make up the 460 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 15: heart and the soul in the backbone of the Democratic Party, 461 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 15: then why are they relegated to the back of the 462 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 15: bus to choose the next president instead of being at 463 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 15: the front of the US and that's why Joe Biden, 464 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 15: Kama Harris, and yours truly at the DNC changed the schedule. 465 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 15: We moved South Carolina to be the first the state 466 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 15: where forty percent of enslaved people came through the port 467 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 15: of Charleston, which exactly where many of their progeny pick cotton. 468 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 15: Now are the first people to pick the most powerful 469 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 15: person on the face of the earth.

So they think because 559 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 10: it's just because she's black.

When Taylor was killed, 578 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 10: they wanted a black proctor.

You know I recruited you to go 616 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 4: back and do it again. We go see what happens. 617 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 4: But I just want you to know. 618 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: That can I I want to get some contact to 619 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: you because I want our viewers to understand what it 620 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: meant to disrupt that primary schedule. For so long, the 621 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: primaries were led by Iowa and New Hampshire. These are 622 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: states that are ninety three and ninety four percent white, respectively. 623 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: So when you disrupt that cycle, by the time they 624 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: went through those populations, it was really difficult for black 625 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: people or any people of color to ascend beyond that, 626 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: compounded by the fact that the donor base is largely 627 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: white and male. So when you empower our people in 628 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: South Carolina to be the leading voice on how this 629 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: country will be run at a time when the demographics 630 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: are so changing, because that's what a lot of this 631 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: disruption is about. 632 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 8: I don't think people can fully appreciate. 633 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: The size, the gigantic, and the sizable impact that we'll 634 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: have on the American body politic and the political landscape. 635 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: I think that's such an important context, given that we 636 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of people who are 637 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: grossly uncomfortable with a black woman ascending to the highest 638 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: office of the land, and they've made it known that 639 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: they will not accept election results that they don't like. 640 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 8: Do you have concerns about this November? 641 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 15: I always have concerns, particularly when I know the people 642 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 15: on the other side of the. 643 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 7: Out You know, they're going to try to still the election. 644 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 5: Come on, They're gonna refuse to certify the results of 645 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 5: the election. 646 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 7: You know that if it gets to the Supreme Court, 647 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 7: they might even overturn it. 648 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 14: You know that, Charlie Mane, I ain't confused. 649 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 15: I know and that and that's why for the last 650 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 15: three and a half years, I've been building the biggest 651 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 15: voter protection program in the history of the Democratic National Committee. 652 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 14: Gotcha, it is. 653 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 15: Because I understand and I know. I come we come 654 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 15: from South Carolina. We know that they like to do 655 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 15: all of the little high jacks and the things that 656 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 15: you know.

Many of us came through when there 750 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 11: was no body to blaze the trails. So he gave 751 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 11: us the seat at the famous table that Shirley Chisholm 752 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 11: always talked about. And we didn't have a lot of 753 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 11: money working for him or working for his campaigns, but 754 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 11: what he allowed us to do was to learn, and 755 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 11: we were able to match our white counterparts. 756 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 10: With the skill sets. 757 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 11: And it was all because we learned through the Jackson campaign. 758 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 11: And to see this come full circle me, Donald, Leah, Tina, 759 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 11: We've been working together for a long time. But we 760 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,919 Speaker 11: also believe that it's also a baton moment for us. 761 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 11: You know, I love Angela, I love Brittany, I love Tiffany, 762 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 11: I love all these women because they are fierce fighters 763 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 11: for our people, and we don't sometimes we don't even 764 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 11: have to say anything. All we got to do is 765 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 11: say we got you. And so I want to say 766 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 11: publicly we got you. We got all of you. Every 767 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 11: time you go through the fire, just know if you 768 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 11: pick up the phone. We got you, and thank you 769 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 11: for all that you're doing. And so this moment represents 770 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 11: all the hard work that you young women have been 771 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 11: out here telling us, fighting for justice, fighting for social rights. 772 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 11: It's because of you we also sit here, and this 773 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 11: moment means you have a seat at the most powerful 774 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 11: table in America if we do what Jamie has said, vote. 775 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: I want to give our viewers some context because not 776 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: everyone knows who the colored girls are, So I think 777 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: it's important for you all to know. It was a 778 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: coalition of women who worked in politics, black women who 779 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: worked in various different industries. You were in the church, 780 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: among other things, as a bishop, but all of you 781 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: all worked on campaigns. But you assented to become so 782 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: powerful in your reach and expertise that anyone who wanted 783 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,280 Speaker 1: to run for president of the Democratic Party would first 784 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: come and sit at your. 785 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 8: Table, the table that you helped build. 786 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: That was happening long before the Obamas were in office, 787 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: that was happening during the Clinton years, and so I 788 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: just think it's so impressive. I also think Mignon and 789 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: thank you for your wonderful words. You know, I've loved 790 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: you for a long time. I also think minon. A 791 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: lot of people don't really know what the chair of 792 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: the DNC convintion actually does. So if you could give 793 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: our viewers and listeners some insight into what your role 794 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: is here. 795 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 11: You know this role was I was asked by the 796 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 11: White House to assume this role. It originally started as 797 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 11: a role that would come in and help a young 798 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 11: man by the name of Alex Hornbrook helped pull the 799 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 11: pieces of this convention together. And thank god, my sister 800 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 11: Leah has already paved the way for us, so I'm 801 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 11: not breaking any ground here because she had already paved 802 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 11: the way. So and this is my hometown. So I 803 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 11: came back to Chicago thinking I was just going to 804 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 11: spend a couple of days a week. It turned into 805 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 11: a couple of months and now it's been many, many months. 806 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 11: But virtually we build the infrastructure, and what we say 807 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 11: is we build literally and figuratively the stage that the 808 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 11: nominees have to stand on. We also play a strong 809 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 11: hand in the programming of this convention. It's a lot 810 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 11: of different pieces. People don't see behind the scenes. When 811 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 11: you look at all these mags you're going through. That 812 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 11: took a year's worth of work with the Secret Service. 813 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 11: It took a year's work for work with the Cargo 814 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 11: Police Department, took a year's worth of work with the 815 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 11: city to make sure our delegates were safe, our visitors 816 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 11: were safe. And so that's one big part of it, 817 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 11: because you got to remember, we came in at a 818 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 11: very troubled time, and so we had to ensure the 819 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 11: first part of our journey was to ensure that we 820 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 11: could make sure that our delegates and their families were saved. 821 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 11: The second part of this is just to make sure 822 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 11: that people can hear the message because it's the largest 823 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 11: stage that our nominee will get, and our nominee just 824 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 11: happens to be Kamala Harris. 825 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:34,479 Speaker 13: Now, we did not know. 826 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 11: Six weeks ago, three weeks ago that we would be 827 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 11: building the stage for the first black woman to take 828 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 11: that stage over. But we had put all the pieces 829 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 11: together and so the transition just came with the program. 830 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,439 Speaker 11: And Leac can add more to it because you know, it's. 831 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 3: So much also been at convention. 832 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: CEO, Yes, answer has a question for you, Lisa, You're 833 00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: right on que. 834 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 6: I actually just wanted to pass out some roses, y'all's way, 835 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 6: not that I have the position to pass out anything, 836 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 6: but to say that you didn't have to be a woman, 837 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 6: black woman organizer to fall under y'all's clutch.

As a matter of fact, in addition 1038 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 19: to the bills that I have one hundred and fifty 1039 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 19: billion dollar bill, I've had a bill for three hundred 1040 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 19: and fifty billion dollars. It was killed by Cinema and Mansion. 1041 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 19: But we now have the bill redone one hundred and 1042 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,720 Speaker 19: fifty billion dollars. We also have the President Biden who's 1043 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 19: already talking about creating new units, affordable units and doing 1044 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 19: something I never thought I would agree to, and that 1045 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 19: is given tax credits to the developers who are willing 1046 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 19: to build affordable units and do it in such a 1047 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,280 Speaker 19: way that not only are they affordable, but they're safe 1048 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,400 Speaker 19: and they're secure.

But it's 1142 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 20: sobering when you think about how much work we got 1143 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 20: to do. 1144 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I want no one to ask you because I 1145 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,800 Speaker 5: saw a day that said she had the vice president 1146 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 5: had a three point lead on Trump in Michigan. What 1147 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 5: can she do to keep that momentum going and not 1148 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 5: fumble Michigan the way Hillary Clinton did in twenty sixteen. 1149 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 20: Well, I mean, we're on the ground in Michigan. I 1150 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 20: don't think anyone's going to out Yeah, I was going. 1151 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:27,400 Speaker 9: To get to that. 1152 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 20: No one's gonna take Michigan for granted. But you know, 1153 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 20: doing that voter contact, it's so important. We cannot write 1154 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 20: anyone off. We can't make any assumptions that people okay, 1155 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 20: but the black community is just going to show up 1156 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,279 Speaker 20: because it's Kama hairs. No, we got to do the work. 1157 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 20: We got to show up, We got to earn people's support, 1158 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 20: and that is true in every community, and so that's 1159 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:46,359 Speaker 20: what we're doing. 1160 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a question for you in a queen vaccine. 1161 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,800 Speaker 5: You know, we know that a lot of Republicans probably 1162 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 5: won't certify the results of the election coming over them. 1163 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,399 Speaker 5: But if it gets to the Supreme Court, in light 1164 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 5: of a lot of their recent rulings, I think they 1165 00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 5: might overturn it if the vice president wins. 1166 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 7: How concerned to y'all about are y'all about that? 1167 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:07,479 Speaker 19: I'm very concerned that Trump has been able to put 1168 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,760 Speaker 19: in place people in several states who are in charge 1169 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,600 Speaker 19: of the election system, and that's real. And some of 1170 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 19: them are going to be turning people away. Some are 1171 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 19: going to be finding they did not dot the I 1172 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 19: across the t all kinds of little tricks. And so 1173 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 19: we've got to be on top of this. Not only 1174 00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 19: do we have to have monitors, we have to anticipate 1175 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 19: when we learn things are going on. We have to 1176 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 19: move very quickly to get our lawyers out there, you know, 1177 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 19: challenging because I think this is real, that's right. 1178 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: Yes, I want to because Charlie wrote up a point 1179 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: about a fumble in Michigan, and I think it speaks 1180 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 1: right to the question about, you know, will people accept 1181 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 1: election results that they don't like? You know firsthand, Governor, 1182 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 1: about the dangers of fanatics and what I would call 1183 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 1: cult members who literally try to kidnap you. Thank god 1184 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 1: their plan was foiled. But also in twenty sixteen, the 1185 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand votes out of Detroit that were discounted. 1186 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 1: As you know, Hillary Clinton lost Michigan that year. Had 1187 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 1: she carried miss and she lost by ten thousand votes, 1188 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,320 Speaker 1: Had she had those seventy five thousand votes out of 1189 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,919 Speaker 1: Detroit been counted, she would have won Michigan and thus 1190 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 1: won the presidency. How concerned are you about the infrastructure 1191 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 1: of this country and voting voting rights and voter suppression 1192 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 1: when it comes to November and it being a fair 1193 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 1: playing field. 1194 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 20: Well, I am concerned about it, But I want to 1195 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 20: make a couple important points. We know four years ago 1196 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,919 Speaker 20: when Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden by one hundred 1197 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 20: and fifty thousand votes, a landslide. Comparatively, he challenged the 1198 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 20: votes in Wayne County, not the other eighty two counties, 1199 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 20: but Wayne County. 1200 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 8: Where Detroit is based. 1201 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 20: Right, so we know the game that they want to play. 1202 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 20: I'll just share this. In twenty twenty two, I won 1203 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 20: reelection and we flipped both the House and Senate. And 1204 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 20: in the week of that, with just a one seat 1205 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,440 Speaker 20: majority of both chambers, we enhanced our election laws. We 1206 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 20: made it easier for people to participate. You can vote 1207 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 20: three weeks in advance in person, no reason. 1208 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 8: The absentee greater. 1209 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 20: Penalties for people that mess with and threatened election workers. 1210 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 20: These are good strides we've made. All that being said, 1211 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 20: we got to get ready because, as a Congressman said, now, 1212 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 20: one thing that I want to point out that I 1213 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 20: think should give us all some hope, not false hope, 1214 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 20: but some hope is in the most important swing states 1215 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 20: in the country, we got Tony Evers as the governor 1216 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 20: in Wisconsin. We got Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, were Katie 1217 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 20: Hobbs in the Arizona. We got Roy Cooper in North Carolina, 1218 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 20: and me and Michigan. We got Democrats who are going 1219 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 20: to make sure these votes are protected and counted. It's 1220 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 20: still going to be a challenge, just go by to challenge. 1221 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 3: If any of our. 1222 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 20: Opponents had been in the position we're in, I'd be 1223 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 20: a lot more work. 1224 00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,240 Speaker 6: I agree with you, Governor, and I think the beauty 1225 00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 6: of it is is that we do have you there 1226 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 6: as hopefully feel safe. My concern is, as you know, 1227 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 6: most of these elections are run municipally at the county. 1228 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 9: Level, and you may have these conservative counties that may. 1229 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 6: Want to flaunt, you know, the rule of law. You've 1230 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 6: got great Secretary of state, so and so forth.

But we are now prepared. 1306 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 21: We were not prepared years ago. 1307 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,760 Speaker 3: We are Majority Leader Schumer. 1308 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,479 Speaker 4: You know, one question that I have for you, based 1309 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,160 Speaker 4: on what you just said, I think is so important 1310 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 4: because folks regularly are donating to campaigns or to campaign committees, 1311 01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 4: and you're just talking about training a bunch of lawyers. 1312 01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 4: Is that some of the ways that you all are 1313 01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 4: using the contribution this money. 1314 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 21: Is using every way, obviously obviously digital. But we're getting 1315 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 21: out the vote, you know, the best way to get 1316 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 21: out the vote, particularly among our young people who aren't 1317 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 21: voting that much, knocking on doors and explaining it better 1318 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 21: than an ad, better than anything. We're putting close to 1319 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,640 Speaker 21: half our money into door knocking and talking to people. 1320 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 21: But we're also putting our money into just what Charlemagne said, 1321 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 21: and that is preventing them from stealing this election. They'll 1322 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,440 Speaker 21: stop at nothing. 1323 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 5: Why are more people in your position just calling out 1324 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 5: the Supreme Court as an illegitimate institution? 1325 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,080 Speaker 21: They should, you know, the right wing, these very rich, 1326 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 21: greedy people who didn't want to pay any taxes, who 1327 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,960 Speaker 21: didn't want the government to do any you know, they said, 1328 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,040 Speaker 21: I built my company with my own hands, although half 1329 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 21: of them inherited it, And how dare your government tell 1330 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 21: me how I had to treat my workers, my customers, 1331 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 21: or the landing, air and water that I own. That's 1332 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 21: what they did. And they realized Charlemagne that they couldn't 1333 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 21: get this done even when they controlled the elected branches 1334 01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,280 Speaker 21: of government House, Senate, because they were and president, because 1335 01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,880 Speaker 21: it was so far to the f and right, so 1336 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 21: far to the right, and so they tried to take 1337 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,880 Speaker 21: over the courts. We have an obligation to try and 1338 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 21: stop them. The Supreme Court is a more rass now. 1339 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,960 Speaker 21: Who would have thought of this, the ethics of that court. 1340 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 21: So these rich, fact rich people are paying for cars 1341 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 21: for trips at the same time they're paying somebody to 1342 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 21: some law firm to go to lawyer and make their case. 1343 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 21: That is outrageous. And I'll tell you who should we 1344 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 21: should blame, among others, the Chief Justice John Roberts, who 1345 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 21: once said he's calling balls and strikes. He could stop 1346 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:36,919 Speaker 21: this with the flick of his pen. Where the hell 1347 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 21: is he lies? 1348 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 9: I just so the President. 1349 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 6: Has made it a stated goal to get reform on 1350 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 6: the Supreme Court. I'm just I what's your prognosis for 1351 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 6: a week between now lamed uck and obviously a new presidency? 1352 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,760 Speaker 21: Framed Uncle hard because the Republicans control the House. A 1353 01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 21: few right wingers seemed to run the show, and they 1354 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,000 Speaker 21: will at nothing to keep the court the way it is. 1355 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 14: But if we and please vote, vote, vote, vote. 1356 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,320 Speaker 21: If we keep the Senate, win the House, win the presidency, 1357 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 21: Supreme Court reform is going to be at the top 1358 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 21: of our agenda because we cannot let these unelected people 1359 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:20,720 Speaker 21: take away women's rights, take away others' rights. You know, 1360 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 21: we talk about freedom. They used to talk about freedom. 1361 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 21: They don't believe in freedom. 1362 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 7: We do. 1363 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 21: So we also believe in economic freedom. We believe you 1364 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 21: should have a good education so you can get a 1365 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,400 Speaker 21: decent job. Freedom to be able to pick your job. 1366 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,479 Speaker 21: We talk about freedom to be able to afford a house. 1367 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,479 Speaker 21: You know, one of the great things Kamala just did. 1368 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:41,440 Speaker 21: Kamala just did is this young people. A lot of 1369 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,360 Speaker 21: young people have enough money to pay the monthly mortgage, 1370 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 21: but they don't have any money for the down payment. Yeah, 1371 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 21: no one can save that much these days. And so 1372 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 21: what she said, what Kamala said is very simple. Twenty 1373 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,320 Speaker 21: five thousand bucks the federal government, if you're a first 1374 01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,480 Speaker 21: time home buyer, to help you with that down payment. 1375 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 21: People when they hear that particularly younger people, and when 1376 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 21: we have to make sure vote, they're gonna love that. 1377 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 21: She knows what she's talking about. I knew her in 1378 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 21: the Senate. 1379 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:08,200 Speaker 14: She was great. 1380 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 7: I'm sorry going to no no. 1381 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 1: I was actually gonna piggyback on your question about the Court. 1382 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 1: You know, Charlie called it an illegitimate institution, and I 1383 01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: have to echo that sentiment for the people out there 1384 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: who may not understand the severity of what is the 1385 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,920 Speaker 1: power of this court and what they've done, what specifically 1386 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,200 Speaker 1: can be done as soon as possible. Do we expand 1387 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 1: the courts? That has to go through the Senate. If 1388 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 1: we do, I mean because at this point our democratic 1389 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:30,960 Speaker 1: institutions are corona. 1390 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,200 Speaker 21: The first step in getting it, getting rid of the 1391 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 21: morass on the court, is to vote. Because if they 1392 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:38,840 Speaker 21: keep the House, if they win the Senate, or if 1393 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 21: they win the presidency, any one of the three, they 1394 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:42,040 Speaker 21: will block it. 1395 01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 14: They will fight for this court. 1396 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,360 Speaker 21: But once we get it, there are very There are 1397 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 21: a lot of proposals out there on the table. There's 1398 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 21: expanding the court, there's term limits, there's I have a 1399 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,880 Speaker 21: proposal that's much simpler. It's limiting their jurisdiction. In certain areas. 1400 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,400 Speaker 21: You know, Justice Alito said, Congress can't regulate the courts. 1401 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,160 Speaker 21: Well me, sir, mister Justice, you didn't either read or 1402 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 21: understand the Constitution that he says it explicitly in this 1403 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 21: and so we can do that relatively easily and limit 1404 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 21: the kind of jurisdiction that they have. 1405 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 6: But they expanded the fact that you've got a justice 1406 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 6: who's prepared to expand the power of the court do 1407 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,560 Speaker 6: their own word or do their own written opinion, absolutely 1408 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,600 Speaker 6: with no accountability, no teeth and ethics, and you know, 1409 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 6: to hold them account in the past, maybe peop said 1410 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 6: they'll never get it done. 1411 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 14: Well, we saw what happened with choice. 1412 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:30,640 Speaker 9: Absolutely. 1413 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:31,680 Speaker 14: We heard what one of. 1414 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,280 Speaker 21: The justices I think it was, I can't remember which one, 1415 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:38,680 Speaker 21: Maybe it was Justice Thomas. He said, next is gay right? 1416 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,600 Speaker 21: He sure did gay marriage. 1417 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 4: But he's not gonna go after biracial marriage exactly. 1418 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 14: You never know what you never know what these guys 1419 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:54,240 Speaker 14: will do. 1420 01:08:54,680 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 21: But he can't the hypocrisy of these folks. You can 1421 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 21: hold them to any standard of consistency. Look at this 1422 01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:14,840 Speaker 21: when Justice when Mitch McConnell said that you should not 1423 01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,840 Speaker 21: you don't can't vote on a justice within about. 1424 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 14: Six months before the election. 1425 01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 21: A year and then there was another vacancy, and he 1426 01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 21: puts someone in several a month before. If no consistency, 1427 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 21: they will do anything to keep this court. 1428 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:32,879 Speaker 14: Intact because they. 1429 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,599 Speaker 21: Know that their agenda is so fiduring the bedding that 1430 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,559 Speaker 21: no one will accept it in the elected ranches. This 1431 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 21: has to be you are right, this has to be 1432 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:41,919 Speaker 21: one of our biggest fights. 1433 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 5: We doesn' to take more courage from Democrats when it 1434 01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,080 Speaker 5: comes to situations like that. Democrats have a reputation for 1435 01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,520 Speaker 5: being cowards because they don't push back on things. 1436 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 14: Like well, hey Charlemagne, I'm from Brooklyn.

Right, they are still that's 1744 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,320 Speaker 12: still happening, right, I was on I was at FAMU. 1745 01:24:56,400 --> 01:25:00,639 Speaker 12: Those students were fired up and ready. So the idea 1746 01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 12: that they're not when you got a twenty five year 1747 01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 12: old and Frost who became a congress person. 1748 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 14: It's like, folks to step it up. 1749 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,559 Speaker 12: It's like the reality, though, is that there are those 1750 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,479 Speaker 12: who don't see that this thing is this this system 1751 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,360 Speaker 12: is working for them, right, and so we have to 1752 01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,240 Speaker 12: be real about that right and call it. It's not 1753 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,639 Speaker 12: about being an operative of the Democratic Party. It's about 1754 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,559 Speaker 12: being strategic about how we leverage our power. And my 1755 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 12: thing has is when young people have the opportunity, like 1756 01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:34,000 Speaker 12: you have the opportunity I had the opportunity to give space. 1757 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,559 Speaker 10: To leave well, Latasha and. 1758 01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,240 Speaker 12: I were on a panel with Brittany earlier today, Packney 1759 01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:42,600 Speaker 12: earlier today.

And what 1789 01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,840 Speaker 16: we're doing at the Global Black Economic Form working along 1790 01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:30,000 Speaker 16: with Essence, is we launched an initiative called Paint the 1791 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 16: Polls Black. 1792 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 7: That's it. 1793 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 16: We want to make sure people understand that our rights 1794 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,799 Speaker 16: are on the line. And so this is about voter education, 1795 01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:43,400 Speaker 16: voter registration, voter mobilization, and importantly voter protection, because if 1796 01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 16: you show up to vote and they tell you that 1797 01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 16: you need a third form of ID or they tell 1798 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,479 Speaker 16: you that the polling station is closed, when in fact 1799 01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:56,880 Speaker 16: is open for another two or three hours, that's voter suppression. 1800 01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 16: And if you don't know what your rights are, you 1801 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,479 Speaker 16: don't know who to call all. So we entered into 1802 01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 16: a partnership with the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights to 1803 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,920 Speaker 16: make sure that people have the information right. 1804 01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 7: We can't be in. 1805 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:13,240 Speaker 16: A position now where people are mobilized, they're registered to vote, 1806 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 16: and they show up but they can't vote. We see 1807 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,599 Speaker 16: what's happening in Georgia, we see what's happening across the country. 1808 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,240 Speaker 16: They just passed a piece of legislation where anyone can 1809 01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 16: challenge can challenge your ability to vote without any evidence. 1810 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 16: So you may register to vote, show up to vote 1811 01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,160 Speaker 16: in a month from now, two months from now, then 1812 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 16: they tell you you're no longer in the voting roles. 1813 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,719 Speaker 16: No one told you what do you do. 1814 01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:40,040 Speaker 9: Democracy? 1815 01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 8: Exactly exactly exactly, and know the. 1816 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:49,920 Speaker 6: Vigilante you're empowering these these A carry only says, these 1817 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:53,160 Speaker 6: people got carry laws right, open carry laws, and now 1818 01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:54,800 Speaker 6: it can come to you and check you on whether 1819 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:55,719 Speaker 6: or not you can vote. 1820 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,599 Speaker 1: And tons of black folks start showing up with guns 1821 01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 1: to check white people. They got the right to vote. 1822 01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,200 Speaker 1: Then you'll see those laws change. I want to bring 1823 01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,960 Speaker 1: in Rashard Robertson in the conversation who runs Color of Change, 1824 01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 1: and I you know, I think for a lot of 1825 01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,680 Speaker 1: us who have worked in this space covered politics for 1826 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:14,000 Speaker 1: a long time, you guys are household names for us. 1827 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:15,599 Speaker 8: We know your organizations and what you do. 1828 01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:17,280 Speaker 1: But for a lot of the people out there, they 1829 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,080 Speaker 1: may not know what Color Change is and the significance 1830 01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 1: of your organization. You are a civil rights organization. The 1831 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,599 Speaker 1: unique thing about your organization. You'll correct me if I'm wrong. 1832 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:30,120 Speaker 1: You don't take corporate money. Correct, so you you do. 1833 01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,720 Speaker 1: You are not beholden to anyone's agenda, So you can 1834 01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,760 Speaker 1: be truthful and stay true to the agenda and goals 1835 01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:39,519 Speaker 1: of the people. Talk a little bit about what Color 1836 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:41,920 Speaker 1: Change does and your role in that organization. 1837 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,960 Speaker 13: Yeah, so Color Change is going to be twenty years 1838 01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:45,519 Speaker 13: old next year. 1839 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:48,440 Speaker 3: Believable. 1840 01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:52,040 Speaker 13: Special Justice organization. It's just that's incredible. And we were 1841 01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:54,760 Speaker 13: actually founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and that's 1842 01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:57,839 Speaker 13: important because it does speak to what you were just saying, Tiffany. 1843 01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 13: We were founded when black people were literally on their roots, 1844 01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 13: begging for the government to do something and left to die. 1845 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:08,600 Speaker 13: And that moment that really illustrated a whole set of 1846 01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:12,280 Speaker 13: things that we already knew, right geographic segregation, generational poverty, 1847 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,479 Speaker 13: the impacts of what's been done to our planet, and 1848 01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:16,840 Speaker 13: so many other systems. But at the heart of it, 1849 01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,759 Speaker 13: no one was nervous about disappointing black people at all. 1850 01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 13: And if folks are not nervous about disappointing your community, 1851 01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:25,880 Speaker 13: doesn't matter what kind of research report you have that 1852 01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:28,559 Speaker 13: illustrates a bunch of facts and figures, doesn't matter what 1853 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,679 Speaker 13: kind of app you have. You can't code your way 1854 01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,800 Speaker 13: out of systemic oppression. You can't nonprofit executive direct your 1855 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,639 Speaker 13: way out of systemic oppression. And so what we do 1856 01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:40,120 Speaker 13: is we leverage people power and narrative change. We were 1857 01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:42,519 Speaker 13: founded with a single email to about one thousand people 1858 01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:45,920 Speaker 13: saying join a new movement, and since then we have 1859 01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,839 Speaker 13: grown to a movement of millions of folks, black people, 1860 01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:52,400 Speaker 13: and allies of every race, and we run strategic campaigns 1861 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:54,360 Speaker 13: and so you're not going to see a campaign from 1862 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,000 Speaker 13: Color of Change, it says, tell Mitch McConnell to stand 1863 01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,880 Speaker 13: up for affirmative action, because who cares how many people 1864 01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:02,519 Speaker 13: sign that petition. Mitch McConnell's not going to stand up 1865 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:07,800 Speaker 13: for a permative action, right, But there are corporations that say, 1866 01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:11,479 Speaker 13: buy our products or use our services, and we can't 1867 01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:14,040 Speaker 13: have them, you know, coming to us by day and 1868 01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,280 Speaker 13: then taking away our vote by night, taking away our 1869 01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:20,280 Speaker 13: freedom by night, taking away our ability to access education 1870 01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 13: and employment opportunities. And so the millions of members at 1871 01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 13: Color of Change, we leverage them three hundred and sixty 1872 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,120 Speaker 13: five days a year, and so that's not just about 1873 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,559 Speaker 13: coming out to vote. And so one of the things 1874 01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:33,479 Speaker 13: that's been really exciting is the work we've been doing 1875 01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:37,320 Speaker 13: around prosecutor reform, because so much of the criminal justice system, 1876 01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:41,080 Speaker 13: we get angry about what's happening, and so we've over 1877 01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:44,360 Speaker 13: the last several years, we have both put prosecutors in 1878 01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 13: office and we've taken some out. And what we do 1879 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:52,920 Speaker 13: is we leverage our members to use technology and we 1880 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 13: build this back end system that allows our members to 1881 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:58,160 Speaker 13: reach out to irregular voters, voters who don't show up 1882 01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,400 Speaker 13: to every election. Oftentimes they don't care about what's happening 1883 01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:02,320 Speaker 13: at the top of the ticket, and we give them 1884 01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:04,800 Speaker 13: very real things to do. But we also let the 1885 01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 13: prosecutors know that when we endorse them, we're gonna put 1886 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 13: you in there, but we might take you out. And 1887 01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 13: over time, we're gonna show up after the election for accountability, 1888 01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 13: and so up and down the ballot we try to 1889 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 13: do that. We've endorsed, obviously Kamala Harris this election cycle, 1890 01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:23,160 Speaker 13: but we've also over the years pushed Vice president or 1891 01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 13: Center Harris. But that is actually how democracy works, and 1892 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 13: that is what we have to do. And so part 1893 01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 13: of what does it mean to be not just present, 1894 01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,880 Speaker 13: not just visible, but powerful is that our ability to 1895 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:42,400 Speaker 13: constantly be in this space. We also endorse Andrew Gillim 1896 01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:47,439 Speaker 13: up here, and that's my dear brother, and we've worked 1897 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:49,960 Speaker 13: with all of you on this stage in different ways. 1898 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:51,880 Speaker 4: You know, it's so interesting as we sit here, we've 1899 01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:54,760 Speaker 4: been talking about it every day, but as we're sitting here, 1900 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,600 Speaker 4: you talked about holding folks accountable and including prosecutors that 1901 01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 4: you would both support and not be afraid to take out. 1902 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:01,840 Speaker 4: And as you said that, there were a couple of 1903 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:05,719 Speaker 4: mayors that walk by, Eric Adams, Well, and you haven't 1904 01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:09,000 Speaker 4: seen them yet, but the mayor of Chicago is also 1905 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:09,639 Speaker 4: walking around. 1906 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 3: Thank you. 1907 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,439 Speaker 4: I was okay, I was definitely about to call him 1908 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:16,800 Speaker 4: the mayor of Baltimore's name, but I was thinking, Alfonso, 1909 01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:20,240 Speaker 4: if you could way in here on the importance of 1910 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,800 Speaker 4: not just engaging folks around the voting part of our 1911 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:28,200 Speaker 4: civic responsibility and engagement, but also on the accountability part. 1912 01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:29,760 Speaker 4: We have a job to do just like they have 1913 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:30,640 Speaker 4: a job to do for us. 1914 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,080 Speaker 3: We pay them. So what happens on the other side 1915 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:33,599 Speaker 3: of the election. 1916 01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:37,360 Speaker 16: Look, I think as we talk about the importance of voting, 1917 01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:41,560 Speaker 16: if we don't hold our elected officials accountable, we devalue 1918 01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:44,439 Speaker 16: our vote. Yeah, right, So if you show up to 1919 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,679 Speaker 16: vote for an elected official and you cast your ballot 1920 01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:51,040 Speaker 16: and then six months later or a year later, they 1921 01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:55,360 Speaker 16: failed to follow up on their promises, your vote is devalued, 1922 01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 16: and you're telling them that your vote is devalued. So 1923 01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:02,280 Speaker 16: it's important that we hold them accountable. Is important that 1924 01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,519 Speaker 16: we follow up and all of our organizations, the Color 1925 01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,800 Speaker 16: of Change, the Global Black Economic Form. We're here to 1926 01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:12,720 Speaker 16: make sure that we hold these elected officials accountable. We 1927 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:16,000 Speaker 16: can talk about the issues. We can talk about employment, housing, 1928 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:20,360 Speaker 16: public accommodation, credit. In all of those categories, Black people 1929 01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:26,759 Speaker 16: suffer significant disparities. So if we're electing people to address 1930 01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 16: those disparities, we have to hold them accountable. And if 1931 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:33,879 Speaker 16: we don't, all they have to do is the following 1932 01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 16: two or four years or six years, depending on where 1933 01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,519 Speaker 16: they are. They'll say what they say every election cycle. 1934 01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:42,679 Speaker 16: We vote for them every election cycle and nothing changes. 1935 01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:46,600 Speaker 16: So part of the apathy that I'm concerned about is 1936 01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:51,280 Speaker 16: people say, I vote every election cycle and nothing changes. Well, 1937 01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:55,320 Speaker 16: nothing changes because we're not holding our elected officials accountable. 1938 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 6: Heartly, Well, can I get off of the other side 1939 01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:01,360 Speaker 6: of that, which is we're in Chicago. Kim Fox came 1940 01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 6: in as a prosecutor and ushered in reforms across this community, 1941 01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:10,719 Speaker 6: and now she has decided not to run for reelection, 1942 01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:14,400 Speaker 6: largely because the police union and all of the institutions 1943 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 6: that she upset with her reforms challenged her and said 1944 01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 6: we will come after you, we will take you down. 1945 01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:23,760 Speaker 6: The same thing happened with Aramisayala. There are cases that 1946 01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:25,600 Speaker 6: we can cite all over the country where we have 1947 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:30,959 Speaker 6: gotten behind these reform oriented prosecutors, these reform oriented elected officials, 1948 01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:33,800 Speaker 6: but nobody has been there to have their back to 1949 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,080 Speaker 6: make sure that we got some protection for our folks. 1950 01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,760 Speaker 6: And this may not be y'all's job that are sitting here. 1951 01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:40,040 Speaker 13: That. 1952 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 14: Is our job. 1953 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:48,439 Speaker 13: And Kim was the first prosecutor we elected. We actually 1954 01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,280 Speaker 13: then showed back up for her re election, and I 1955 01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:53,719 Speaker 13: remember we had people at the doors knocking our members 1956 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:56,000 Speaker 13: that the door is knocking, and this is just important 1957 01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,679 Speaker 13: for the community understand. We have people are knocking before 1958 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:00,960 Speaker 13: COVID hit and we had to like go everything digital, 1959 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:05,639 Speaker 13: and folks were mad at her for prosecuting r Kelly 1960 01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:09,880 Speaker 13: and mad that she didn't prosecute Jesse Smollett, And we 1961 01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,160 Speaker 13: had to spend a lot of time trying to help 1962 01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:15,240 Speaker 13: people make sense of all that and really talk big 1963 01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:18,560 Speaker 13: picture around all the things that she was no longer prosecuting, 1964 01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:20,760 Speaker 13: the people that had been released, the things she had 1965 01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:25,360 Speaker 13: done on drugs, the reduction in size of Cook County Jail, 1966 01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:28,280 Speaker 13: which is one of the largest jails in the country. 1967 01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:31,240 Speaker 13: This was very clear because I just saw Kim yesterday 1968 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:35,080 Speaker 13: and yes, the police union we have a police union 1969 01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:39,600 Speaker 13: prosecutor kind of engagement program. Just recently, we've had victories 1970 01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,640 Speaker 13: at the City Council here in Chicago where we've been 1971 01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,719 Speaker 13: reducing the power of the police unions. They were actually 1972 01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:50,400 Speaker 13: trying to bring the cases when against police where they 1973 01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:53,040 Speaker 13: are being held accountable. They tried to make all those 1974 01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:56,679 Speaker 13: hearings private and we won at the City Council recently 1975 01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:59,400 Speaker 13: mobilized our members to hold them accountable. But we need 1976 01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:02,280 Speaker 13: more people. No single organization can do it alone. And 1977 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:05,240 Speaker 13: the attacks on Amorousyola and Kim Fox are not just 1978 01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:06,880 Speaker 13: about attacks on prosecutors. 1979 01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:07,960 Speaker 9: I think people have. 1980 01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:10,240 Speaker 13: To understand the larger thing we're going to be facing 1981 01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,559 Speaker 13: selection cycle. They are not attacking Kim Fox the same 1982 01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,760 Speaker 13: way they are attacking Larry Krasner, a district attorney in 1983 01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:21,320 Speaker 13: Pennsylvania Philadelphia, who's doing the similar work. They are attacking 1984 01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:24,160 Speaker 13: them in very unique ways, going after them as black women, 1985 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:27,200 Speaker 13: going after their families, working to try to make them unsafe. 1986 01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:30,240 Speaker 13: And part of the work that has to be sort 1987 01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,559 Speaker 13: of recognized. The muscle we have to build in our 1988 01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 13: community is understanding that we won't have good people to 1989 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,760 Speaker 13: go in those positions. Yes, if we don't sort of 1990 01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:43,160 Speaker 13: constantly build power to protect recognize, accountability and protection have 1991 01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,120 Speaker 13: to go hand in hand, and when someone does the 1992 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:47,360 Speaker 13: things that we want them to do, we have to 1993 01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 13: champion it, not just so that they see it, but 1994 01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:53,639 Speaker 13: others who might not yet be there see that there 1995 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,120 Speaker 13: is hope on the side of freedom, is hope on 1996 01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 13: the side of doing the right thing. 1997 01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,479 Speaker 1: I just really quickly, I just wanted to say, I 1998 01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,640 Speaker 1: think that's such important work shop because Republicans take a 1999 01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,559 Speaker 1: victory lap frequently on the First Step Act that is 2000 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:11,320 Speaker 1: at the federal level, and they are eroding. 2001 01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:13,320 Speaker 8: What that that did at the federal level at the 2002 01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:14,080 Speaker 8: local levels. 2003 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 1: The First Step Act, that's called the First app First 2004 01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 1: Step aact because there needs to be a second step 2005 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,320 Speaker 1: and a third step and a fourth step. All those 2006 01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:23,559 Speaker 1: federal policies only apply to federal police. 2007 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:26,559 Speaker 13: Is over eighty eighty to eighty five percent of people 2008 01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:30,240 Speaker 13: are prosecuted and put behind bars at the local level, 2009 01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:32,880 Speaker 13: right right, right, So, yes, we can win a lot 2010 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:35,400 Speaker 13: of things at the at the federal level, and we should, 2011 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:37,639 Speaker 13: but so much of this happens at the local level. 2012 01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,160 Speaker 6: And parathetically, just so that we keep some context of 2013 01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:42,600 Speaker 6: the national election, Donald Trump wants to give immunity to 2014 01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:47,400 Speaker 6: all law enforcement officers. Okay, so let's be clear about 2015 01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:49,439 Speaker 6: the differences as well as this dells down. 2016 01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:53,960 Speaker 1: Man, you want to know what the Biden administration has done, 2017 01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:56,439 Speaker 1: think about what it would mean for you to have 2018 01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:59,080 Speaker 1: a Donald Trump who wants to grant every law enforcement 2019 01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:02,519 Speaker 1: on community for the unity community. 2020 01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:03,439 Speaker 10: And let's be clear. 2021 01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:07,160 Speaker 13: They are not prosecuting crimes on Wall Street and on 2022 01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,920 Speaker 13: Capitol Hill. We're at the highest level. This is not 2023 01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,960 Speaker 13: about the kind of big, systemic level crimes that they're 2024 01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,720 Speaker 13: putting people behind bars for that actually hurt people. They're 2025 01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:20,639 Speaker 13: attacking people for low level crimes, one on one crimes. 2026 01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:23,639 Speaker 13: But the sort of big, high level sort of crimes 2027 01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,320 Speaker 13: that that that fleece and steal our communities, that put 2028 01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:29,880 Speaker 13: us in harm's way, that that that that steal people's paychecks, 2029 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,400 Speaker 13: that make people unsafe, that steal people's health. Those things 2030 01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:35,120 Speaker 13: are not being prosecuted at the high levels. 2031 01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:37,599 Speaker 3: Right then, Yeah, oh. 2032 01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:37,760 Speaker 10: No, I was. 2033 01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:39,280 Speaker 7: I was thinking about something else earlier. 2034 01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:42,640 Speaker 5: You know, tip uh tiff reference of Victory leap, and 2035 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:44,200 Speaker 5: I thought that was such a good term because it 2036 01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:46,840 Speaker 5: feels like Democrats are already taking one. It feels like 2037 01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:50,400 Speaker 5: it's not enough energy going into energizing people to vote, 2038 01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,720 Speaker 5: registering people to vote. It feels like it's almost a 2039 01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:56,320 Speaker 5: coorination happening here. But the election is not a guarantee, 2040 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,080 Speaker 5: So how do we make sure people are focused on 2041 01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,559 Speaker 5: actually voting over the next eighty days. 2042 01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:04,599 Speaker 16: I would say everyone, if you if you didn't listen 2043 01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:08,040 Speaker 16: to Michelle Obama's speech last night, we should have it 2044 01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:11,600 Speaker 16: on repeat. We should have it on repeat. It was 2045 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 16: one of the best, if not the best. 2046 01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:14,960 Speaker 3: Do you think it should have been last we've been 2047 01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:15,479 Speaker 3: talking about it. 2048 01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:17,719 Speaker 7: You should have been that easily. 2049 01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:23,559 Speaker 16: Yes, I'll just say I think it was the best 2050 01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:25,200 Speaker 16: National Convention speech. 2051 01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:27,879 Speaker 7: I've ever heard in my life. So good period. 2052 01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,280 Speaker 3: But what about Barack Obama in two thousand. 2053 01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:38,040 Speaker 13: Y opinion about it? 2054 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:41,880 Speaker 16: But you know, we have to understand that this is 2055 01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:43,800 Speaker 16: going to be a fight over the next few weeks, 2056 01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:47,240 Speaker 16: over the next few months. This is great, we are 2057 01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:50,679 Speaker 16: mobilizing here. There are folks that are that are coming 2058 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,679 Speaker 16: with the same vision and the same perspective. But when 2059 01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,800 Speaker 16: we leave the stadium, there are a lot of people 2060 01:40:56,840 --> 01:41:00,600 Speaker 16: who disagree what's happening here, and so we have to 2061 01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:04,080 Speaker 16: be mindful about the work that we need to do. 2062 01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:07,200 Speaker 16: As she said, we have to make sure we're standing up, 2063 01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:11,280 Speaker 16: we're doing the work. And for those who think that 2064 01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:13,439 Speaker 16: we've won this election, you just have to talk to 2065 01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:18,040 Speaker 16: people in your own family that you know well. 2066 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,639 Speaker 5: He just says something that's real. An event like this 2067 01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:22,520 Speaker 5: energizes the opposition. 2068 01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:29,080 Speaker 6: We also shouldn't be afraid of our own shadows that 2069 01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:32,000 Speaker 6: we can stand in. We can stand in excitement and 2070 01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,800 Speaker 6: victory and enjoy about our nominee.

I ain't 2160 01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 1: see the surprise. 2161 01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:47,400 Speaker 4: So maybe you can just keep your eyes over here 2162 01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,320 Speaker 4: and talk to us about what you what you are 2163 01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:53,240 Speaker 4: looking for, maybe a concern that you have about tonight. 2164 01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:54,360 Speaker 3: Is there anything. 2165 01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:56,240 Speaker 8: Charlotte, I want to hear, Charlotte, what are you looking for? 2166 01:45:56,360 --> 01:45:57,480 Speaker 3: I know he's concentrating. 2167 01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:00,599 Speaker 5: Any I was thinking about it, you, so I knew 2168 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,400 Speaker 5: what I was looking for Monday night. I was looking 2169 01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,559 Speaker 5: for the Hillary Clinton. I was looking for the Jasmine Crockett, 2170 01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:07,519 Speaker 5: And I knew what I was looking forward to Tuesday night. 2171 01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:10,919 Speaker 5: I was looking forward to the Obama's tonight maybe Secretary 2172 01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:13,120 Speaker 5: of People. But I'm really honestly thinking about tomorrow. I'm 2173 01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:15,960 Speaker 5: really thinking about tomorrow because I feel like just listening 2174 01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:17,599 Speaker 5: to the callers that I've been calling into the breakfast 2175 01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:19,120 Speaker 5: club and the things that they've been saying, a lot 2176 01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:20,519 Speaker 5: of them feel like they. 2177 01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,599 Speaker 7: Haven't heard enough policy talk all week long. 2178 01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:25,280 Speaker 5: I feel like Bernie Sanders laid out some things that 2179 01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:27,680 Speaker 5: he wanted, you know, the Harrison administration to do if 2180 01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:30,839 Speaker 5: they get in. So I think tomorrow the VP really 2181 01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:33,800 Speaker 5: has to talk to the issues. We got the hope, right, 2182 01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:35,599 Speaker 5: we got all the hope we needed yesterday. 2183 01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:36,479 Speaker 7: Hope is great. 2184 01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:39,720 Speaker 5: Hope is like a light in darkness, like give us 2185 01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:41,280 Speaker 5: a little glimpse of light in darkness. 2186 01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:44,240 Speaker 7: And we definitely got the fear. We know the fear. 2187 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:45,519 Speaker 7: We know we're up at this. 2188 01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,040 Speaker 5: But tomorrow she has to really come in here and 2189 01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,920 Speaker 5: just lay out policy. She has to speak to the issues. 2190 01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:52,680 Speaker 5: She has to speak to the people who you know, 2191 01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:55,080 Speaker 5: are barely keeping food on their table and a roof 2192 01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:57,160 Speaker 5: over their head. So that's what I'm really hoping that 2193 01:46:57,240 --> 01:46:59,439 Speaker 5: she nails the speech, especially being that she hasn't done 2194 01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:01,280 Speaker 5: any interviews right in the. 2195 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:03,480 Speaker 7: Last few weeks of all eyes. 2196 01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:05,680 Speaker 5: Are really really going to be on her in a 2197 01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,080 Speaker 5: real way tomorrow, So she has to nail it. Because 2198 01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:13,120 Speaker 5: she doesn't, she's gonna get very scrutinized, well, you know, unjustly. 2199 01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:13,760 Speaker 8: Scrutinized for sure. 2200 01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:16,519 Speaker 1: And I just want to remind the viewers that this 2201 01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:20,720 Speaker 1: campaign took off in a very uh not a non 2202 01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:23,400 Speaker 1: traditional way, and it normally takes a campaign two to 2203 01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,280 Speaker 1: three months to pull together a policy plan. It has 2204 01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:29,040 Speaker 1: been I think a month today when she became the 2205 01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:32,439 Speaker 1: presidential candidate. She did enter the foray into the policy 2206 01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:36,360 Speaker 1: with her economic address in North Carolina a few weeks ago, 2207 01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:38,800 Speaker 1: and she called for the expandon of the child tax credit, 2208 01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:41,000 Speaker 1: which we talked about. That includes a six thousand dollars 2209 01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:43,840 Speaker 1: credit for parents in the first year of a child's fire. 2210 01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:45,160 Speaker 8: She proposed forty billion. 2211 01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:48,479 Speaker 3: Yes, y'all, Andrew. 2212 01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:54,439 Speaker 1: Native Lampard, She's proposed forty million dollar tax incentive for 2213 01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:56,960 Speaker 1: a new housing construction. And she endorsed a federal ban 2214 01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:59,880 Speaker 1: on price gouging. So this this is the bit of 2215 01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,160 Speaker 1: policy we've heard from her. She does not have a 2216 01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:05,519 Speaker 1: policy plan on her website just yet, but I can't 2217 01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:07,080 Speaker 1: show you, Charlotte Meane that she will. 2218 01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:08,759 Speaker 8: We'll talk about that yet, to add. 2219 01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:09,559 Speaker 9: To what you've already laid out. 2220 01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:11,800 Speaker 6: So she did a special speech around the economy, and 2221 01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:13,840 Speaker 6: that speech hope to close the gap between she and 2222 01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:16,479 Speaker 6: Donald Trump around credibility. Who do you trust more on 2223 01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:17,879 Speaker 6: the economy? That was crucial. 2224 01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:19,400 Speaker 8: But what's his policy plan? 2225 01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:22,639 Speaker 9: Nobody's asking nobody's asking. Nobody ask. 2226 01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:26,200 Speaker 6: But the other thing it's important for those who are 2227 01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:28,759 Speaker 6: not as familiar with the Democratic Convention on what happens 2228 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,639 Speaker 6: here is that there is a policy agenda that must 2229 01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:36,000 Speaker 6: be approved by the Convention that states what the administration's 2230 01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:39,400 Speaker 6: goals must be moving forward from this place. 2231 01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:42,479 Speaker 9: So there's there, there, and this thing is chalk full. 2232 01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:44,559 Speaker 6: If you can think of an issue, there is a 2233 01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:47,280 Speaker 6: policy prescript that is coming out of this convention that 2234 01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,320 Speaker 6: is intended to address it. Now, she won't be able 2235 01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:52,400 Speaker 6: to parade all over the country giving policy pieces every day, 2236 01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:54,880 Speaker 6: because the truth is is that voters. 2237 01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:57,559 Speaker 9: Want to know her better. They don't know her. 2238 01:48:57,640 --> 01:49:00,240 Speaker 6: In fact, the big criticism is that she's been aidden 2239 01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:03,639 Speaker 6: in the closet for two or three of the four years, 2240 01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:06,880 Speaker 6: which is well. But but to the to the person 2241 01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:11,840 Speaker 6: who has limited line of sight and attention, you haven't seen. 2242 01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:12,639 Speaker 3: They haven't put her. 2243 01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:13,639 Speaker 9: Out for sure. 2244 01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:17,720 Speaker 6: So so I actually think policy, yes, she will need 2245 01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:21,040 Speaker 6: to talk about some big ideas, big ideas. I don't 2246 01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:23,040 Speaker 6: want to hear the policy prescript. I want to hear 2247 01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:25,160 Speaker 6: the big ideas. The other thing that she's got to 2248 01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,360 Speaker 6: do is I think she has to demystify and get 2249 01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:30,559 Speaker 6: in front of what we can expect over these next 2250 01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:33,040 Speaker 6: few weeks, which are going to be a whole bunch 2251 01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:37,080 Speaker 6: of lies, untruth, mistruce, half truth about who she is. 2252 01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:41,080 Speaker 6: They've already begun that on walls going after his IVF. 2253 01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:43,960 Speaker 6: He used her on terminology going after his military service. 2254 01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:48,599 Speaker 6: Where's yours?
