00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to Naked Sports, the podcast where we live at

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: the intersection of sports, politics, and culture. Our purpose reveal

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: the common threads that bind them all.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: So what's happening in women's basketball right now is what

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 2: we've been trying to.

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 3: Get to for almost thirty years.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: From the stadiums where athletes break barriers and set records.

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 3: Kaylan Clark broke the all time single game assists record.

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: This is crazy for rookies to be doing.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 4: To the polls where history is written, and now we

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 4: have Kamala Harrison, it feels more like women are sort

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 4: of taken what they've always deserved, as opposed to waiting

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 4: on somebody to give them what they've deserved.

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: Our discussions will uncover the vital connections between these realms

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: and the community we create. In each episode, we'll sit

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: down with athletes, political analysts, and culture critics, because at

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the core of it all, how we see one issue

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: shines the light on all others. Welcome to Naked Sports.

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm yours, Carrie Champion. I will always believe that the

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: core of any human being is developed at a young age.

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: And what I mean by core is what makes you you,

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: how you see the world, your personality, your ability or

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: inability to change how you decide what food you like

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: or even your favorite color. Scientists say by the time

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: we're seven years old, our personality is fully developed, which

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: is why I asked today's guest about how she grew up.

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: I'm Angela Raie.

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: I am the co host of Native Land Pod, and

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: I guess an advocate in these streets.

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: I think we know her as a truth teller, unapologetic, bold,

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: yet sensitive to the needs of the world.

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 5: But do we know why? Well, today, that's where we begin.

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: I grew up in the home with an activist.

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: My dad's name is Eddie Rye Junior, or the streets

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: say Popa Rye, and my dad is an activist and

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: a proud agitator. I went to law school, and one

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 2: of the things that I really appreciated about my law

38
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: school experience is the emphasis at Seattle University School of Law,

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: which is where I attended on advocacy, and so to

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: that end, I've tried to ensure that my law degree

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: is always used for good and advocating for the best

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: interest in the advancement of black people and other people

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: of color and other underserved and the voiceless, etc.

44
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: But my emphasis is definitely on the blacks.

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: What is an activist and the difference between an activist

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: and an advocate.

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: Yes, I think an activist is my dad.

48
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: An activist is someone who goes in shakes things up.

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: I remember this white man got on the elevator once

50
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: and looked at my dad. He was a reporter and

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: he goes Eddie Ray if it isn't the perpetual troublemaker,

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: And I was so mad.

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: I was like.

54
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: Lunging at the dude. I wasn't gonna hit him, but

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: I was about to get him together. And my dad

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, so that's my friend, that's Brian.

57
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: It's cool.

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: And what I realized from my dad's work and the

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: work of someone like Congressman John Lewis, who has now

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: passed away got rest his soul, is that trouble in

61
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: and of itself is not bad, even if it is

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: against the law. Because sometimes the laws can be bad.

63
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: There is such a thing as good trouble. And I

64
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: think activists raise issues and bring consciousness and awareness to

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: the issues, and advocates have the responsibility of negotiating with the.

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: Law and law makers to change it. For the betterment

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: of people.

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 5: So I would think you would be a hybrid if

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 5: you will.

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. I think that's fair.

71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me about your father growing up with him.

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: What age did you realize that he was an activist?

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: Ooh, you know, I really don't know when I realized

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: he was an activist. I can say that in our household.

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: My mom is now a retired college administrator, and my

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: mom was also very fierce in her advocacy at Shortline

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Community College, which is where she spent most of her

78
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: adult career, and she was on higher education affirmative action commissions,

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: teaching teachers how to teach young students.

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: Particularly students of color. So it was ingrained in her work.

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: And I feel like with my parents, whether it was

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: you know, my dad gave me twenty dollars, I'd just

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: spluit it. With my cousin, I'm like, she got a

84
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: mom and daddy, Why she can't get twenty dollars prump

85
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: found and daddy. But it was like required, right, It

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: was like we have to share. We have to ensure

87
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: that if people are not in a good situation, that

88
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: they are at a better situational toy encounter us. My

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: dad loves to tell people that my first protest was

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: an anti apartheid protest about what was happening in South

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Africa and ensuring and encouraging local governments, state governments, and

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: companies to divest from South Africa until they could get

93
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: it right. And so even my orientation around righteousness and

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: bettering communities and society for people is not myopic.

95
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: It was not singular focused on just on my city.

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: It was also global. So I don't know, I mean,

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: I just felt like that was my dad.

98
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: My mom said when I was in pre school, I said,

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: my mom goes to work and my dad goes to meetings,

100
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: and literally I would be.

101
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: I would be in these meetings with him.

102
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: It would be with pastors, with other activists and advocates,

103
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: it's with lawyers, it's with the city. He's at city

104
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: council meetings and county council meetings advocating for what was

105
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: the right thing to do. So I just I didn't

106
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: know what he was. I just knew that he made

107
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: a lot of noise. He had some banners, he didn't

108
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: throw them away in the garage. He still got a bullhorn.

109
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: Right now, batteries might be dead, but he happy to

110
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: prop him back in there. What we're doing, So that's

111
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: what that's him.

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 5: If he were to describe what you do, what do

113
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 5: you think?

114
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: He would say, Oh, my god, my dad would run

115
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: down my entire resume. My dad would run down my

116
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: entire resume. He is extraordinarily proud. I'm grateful for that.

117
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: But he literally I just did. He has a radio show,

118
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: by the way called Urban Forum Northwest in Seattle, and

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: he just had me on a couple of weeks ago,

120
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: and my dad took a solid five minutes introducing me

121
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: to the audience, as if I've not done the radio

122
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: show several other times. He doesn't think I go on

123
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: enough is up to him. I'd co host it, but like, yeah,

124
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: he would run down everything I did on Capitol Hill.

125
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: He would talk about impact strategies, my firm. He would

126
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: talk about being on TV, he would talk about the podcast.

127
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: He talk about y'all like he thinks all y'all are

128
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: his kids.

129
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, how.

130
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Does he see his influence on you? Does he say,

131
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: she's that's my daughter, she's me. Everything that I did,

132
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: she's me, or she Obviously you are a combination of

133
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: your parents, but your advocacy, I would argue comes from

134
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: your dad.

135
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: My I don't know that he would say that.

136
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: Actually, I think that he would say my mom's approach

137
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: to advocacy is different than his, but it's not not

138
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: there like they will go to now, especially now that

139
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: she's retired. They like, we're going to advocate for the

140
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: first black women chief of police in Seattle, Carmen Bess.

141
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 3: Like they were in me and she spoke.

142
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: My dad was like, well, now you need to hear

143
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: just like you grays on me, doc or Andrea Ry

144
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: like he wanted people to know his wife has an

145
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: edd like what we're doing. So I don't know that

146
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: he would say I am him. I think he would

147
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: say I'm a combination of him, just like my face.

148
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: You know. I think that he would say I'm both.

149
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Who who do you think you are? Who are you

150
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: more like rather your mom or your dad? You probably

151
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: have a little bit of both, But like if someone

152
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: said you had to split it up percentage wise, what

153
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: does that look like?

154
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: I think I am loud like my dad. I think

155
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: I like getting my own way like my dad. I

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: think that my mom has ingrained in me the importance

157
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: of seeing things from multiple perspectives, and in that regard,

158
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: I'm a little more patient, just slightly. My mom has

159
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: also said that there's still hope for me. My dad

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: does not have a filter, but mine is just broken,

161
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 2: so she said there's some hope there.

162
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think I think I'm me.

163
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: I think that the blend and the hybrid of the

164
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: DNA that I got from them created this unique individual

165
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: and I'm very different from them. And I'm also very

166
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: different from my brother, who y'all very rarely hear about.

167
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yes, And the reason why I ask those

168
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: questions is because I think when I first knew of you,

169
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to know your background, and I understood that

170
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: you had went to law school and that you were

171
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: the way that I would describe it just from the

172
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: outside looking in, I would call you an activist, but

173
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: you were very clear in the distinction between activists and advocate.

174
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: But I do believe you're a hybrid of both, and

175
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: that to me is the best of both worlds.

176
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: Hi, Garry.

177
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, though, the other thing that I

178
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 2: think is important in this is I've never really actively

179
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: practiced law. I took my law degree and used it

180
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: to negotiate legislation, you know, working for an organization called

181
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: NAFIA that represents historically black and predominantly black colleges.

182
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: Right out of law school.

183
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: Then I went to Capitol Hill, a Homeland Security committee,

184
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: went to the Congressional Black Caucuss, started my firm, and

185
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: I think that one of the things that I'm very

186
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: comfortable with and what I love is strategy work.

187
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: I love coming up with ideas.

188
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: It could be for a show, it could be for

189
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: a movement, it could.

190
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 3: Be for a cause.

191
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: Some of my proudest work recently was around getting a

192
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: pardon for Marilyn Moseby, and we're not done with it yet,

193
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: but it was my honor to work on behalf of

194
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: a sister like that. When I think about what's happening

195
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: in Israel and Palestine, like how you know we can

196
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: see humanity and people's lives being lost Like that, that

197
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: keeps me up at night, you know, hearing about somebody

198
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: like Crystal Mason in Texas who just went to cast

199
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: her vote after serving her time, paying her debt to society,

200
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: coming back to be a mother of her kids, trying

201
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: to show everybody, look.

202
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: I can be a responsible citizen.

203
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: Now goes to cast a ballot that she's told she

204
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: can cast and then has to serve five years in

205
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 2: jail for that, and then they dropped the case and

206
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: now they're going back after again. Those are the things

207
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: that make me feel like I have to do something,

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: And if I'm honest, I think some of it is

209
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: selfish because I always look at it first from what

210
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: would I want somebody to do for me?

211
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: When we return, Angela Raie talks about her hit podcasts,

212
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: Native Land Back in a Moment.

213
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: I am Angela Raie.

214
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: Well, Hi everybody, I am Tiffany Cross and I'm so

215
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: thrilled to be in conversation with y'all in a community

216
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: with my sister and brother.

217
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 6: All Right, hellou everyone, this is Andrew Gili. I'm saying,

218
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 6: what's up? What's up?

219
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: What's up.

220
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: Most recently, Angela Raie created a podcast that she co

221
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: host with two close friends.

222
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: The first show was supposed to be a show with me,

223
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: and I was like, you know, I wanted to be

224
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: a panel show. And we were talking through who and

225
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: came up with tiff and Andrew and it was just

226
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: felt perfect. I love Andrew's strategic.

227
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: Mind, the way that you talk about my empathy, his.

228
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Empathy for people like he if he didn't run for

229
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: office like Andrew should have been, and maybe he should

230
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: still be like an ambassador somewhere, some type of diplomat,

231
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: because he is just naturally in that land and he's

232
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: so good at it.

233
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: While he when he was the first.

234
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 2: Youngest elected Tallahassee City commissioner, there's a county commission I

235
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: don't know. One time we got to ask Andrew, but

236
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: when he was first elected, he was also running this

237
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: thing called the Young Elected Officials Network for People for

238
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: the American Way. And when I saw that group and

239
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: engage with them and saw the amount of respect that

240
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: Andrew had across the ideological spectrum, because we know democrats

241
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: is a big tent, a huge chant, sometimes in an

242
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: unncessary big tent, by the way, but he had galvanized

243
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: all these young people from all over the country to

244
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: feel like they belonged in the political process.

245
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: They were building, actively building a bench.

246
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: And he's brilliant, one of the most brilliant orators we

247
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: have in our country, not just in our community, but

248
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: in our country. So it's an honor to be in

249
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: the podcasting space with him, and of course our dear

250
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: sister tif Tiff had lost her platform with MSNBC, and

251
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: of course we were all really troubled by that. And

252
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: I was like, well, that's done. Like we pouncing on this,

253
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: like let's go, let's go get tip. And she is

254
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: a brilliant journalist, spent time in the field as a producer,

255
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: spent time putting shows together, understands the political process and

256
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: media backwards and boards, and so to me it was

257
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: a no brainer.

258
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, let me go and be, you know,

259
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: the small kid.

260
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,479
Speaker 2: With this big bunch and figure out how how to

261
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: punch above my class.

262
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I didn't doubt that you got I doubt that that

263
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: was the case. I want to read something that when

264
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: they talk about native land, I hope you don't mind.

265
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: But when I was saying, let's do a little research,

266
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: how would you describe it? So this is what shout

267
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: out to oulu my amazing researcher on the show put together.

268
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: Hey lu oh, she gonna love that that you said that.

269
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: So it says that when we're describing what you do,

270
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: many things that you do good grief. She currently co

271
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: hosts Native Lampod, a podcast that guides it's listeners and

272
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: viewers through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis,

273
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: unraveling the threads that connect black Americans and marginalized communities

274
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: to a place they are rageously called home. Now mind you,

275
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: I know that's the description. But when you open your.

276
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 3: So do we write down or no?

277
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: You write that? I said, it's good. I need to

278
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 5: come right, But no, I'm trying to steal my people.

279
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: Now that's the second person you just tried to see

Speaker 3: how long he's known you speak.

Speaker 5: That don't matter?

284
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: Don't matter?

Speaker 5: First, don't that don't matter?

00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 3: So ice part.

297
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 5: Well, I know that's when you desonne order.

298
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: Why do you say welcome home?

299
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: What made you come with that harness?

300
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:21,800

301
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: we say welcome home.

302
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: It actually is a great illustration because on the podcast,

303
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: there are.

304
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: No false pretenses, there are no heirs, there's no ego.

305
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: We can be exactly who we are. We can go

306
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: from I like to say sophist direction. We can go

307
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: from that to spiritual to completely political. We can nerd

308
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: out on the pos and why we don't like the post.

309
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about slide down a poem, talking

310
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: about reading poll data.

311
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: Because this is naked with Carrie.

312
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 5: That's why I said you can do both. We're versatile.

313
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes, yes you can't. I will not because

314
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: I will break my neck.

315
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: But to the point I think that it's it was

316
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: it was important to us that in a world that

317
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: feels so remarkably hostile, especially to people of color, where

318
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: the things that create space, opportunity and equity for us,

319
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: like DEI Diversity Equity inclusion they rebranded as didn't earn it.

320
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: When NATO ones with the trust funds and all the

321
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: other things loans they didn't deserve and venture capital access

322
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: they didn't deserve. Meanwhile, we're standing on the margins and

323
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: the sidelines trying to figure out when we can get

324
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: put in the game. So in on our podcast, you

325
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: are in the game because we're talking and speaking to

326
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: your issues. We want to hear from you. We make

327
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: sure we democratize access to the platform. We get listener

328
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: questions and comments, and we say welcome home because we

329
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: want people to feel like when they tune in, it

330
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: is a safe space.

331
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: You know, we talk about things we are.

332
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: My favorite thing about that podcast is we are never

333
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: completely black or white.

334
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: We never agree.

335
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: We are always in the nuance of the thing, and

336
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: for that reason, it feels like it stretches me intellectually.

337
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: It challenges me to look at issues is not binary,

338
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: but you know, multifaceted and dynamic. And I think that

339
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: if we, you know, treated policy that way and humanity

340
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: that way, we would be so much further along.

341
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: So that is why I love that you say that

342
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: it's important because I do believe that unfortunately, those who

343
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: are just on the outside looking in without doing the

344
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: research don't understand what you were doing. And when you

345
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: say we all agree, we can agree to disagree, and

346
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: there's nuance. That's what's lacking. And I think in every

347
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: single conversation, and I'm curious if you could just and

348
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: this is when I'll bring it, because what I wanted

349
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: to do with Naked Sports, with our rebrand, was meet

350
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: at the intersection of sports, politics, and culture. And oftentimes

351
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: I have been told that athletes should not be a

352
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: part of the political landscape, they should not use their platform.

353
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: And I agree if they don't want to use their platform.

354
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: But I'm really curious, what do you think about the

355
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: athletes of the yesteryear and what I mean, like the

356
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: sixties and the civil rights movements, and we think of

357
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: cream Vedl Jabbar for that matter, Bill Russell, may he

358
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: rest in peace. I think of all of these former

359
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: John Carlos. Do you think of all these athletes who

360
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: were moving in spaces where they wanted to change the landscape.

361
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: Do you feel like we need to have that at

362
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: present or or.

363
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: Is that even here?

364
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: Do you see an athlete you say that reminds me

365
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: of he's moving in a space of his ancestors or

366
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: former athletes if you will.

367
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: You know, yes, but in different ways. And I love

368
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: that it is in different ways. So one athlete right

369
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: now that I am so excited about is Jaylen Brown,

370
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: and partially because I remember being in this and I

371
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: talk about this all the time. But in this Congressional

372
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: black hawkas meeting with one of the founders, his name

373
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: is congress Men Rangel and congress Merangel.

374
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 3: I love you.

375
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: I know you just lost your lovely wife. I'm thinking

376
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: of you and praying for you. In this meeting right

377
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: before he retired, he said that sometimes he wonders if

378
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: black folks spent too much time, particularly through the political

379
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: process and in legislation, fighting for social policy and not

380
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: enough on economic policy. And so the thing that I

381
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 2: love about what Jalen Brown is doing saying we're going

382
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: to reconfigure and redevelop this concept, this idea around Black

383
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: Wall Street. One it's innovative, Two it's necessary. Three I

384
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: don't know how much we move the needle on our

385
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: social needs, our societal needs without having the economics that

386
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: were reserved. And so I think it's brilliant what he's doing.

387
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: And there was another talk that he gave that I love,

388
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: where he challenged people to see his humanity as a

389
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: black man and not just as an athlete.

390
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 3: I wish I could find a name. It was so good,

391
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 3: But y'all need to run that thing back.

392
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Then.

393
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 6: They want to keep the athlete in the sense pacified.

394
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 6: You don't want you to use your voice, don't want

395
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: you to be political, don't want you to be controversial,

396
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 6: don't want you to make statements. While because it's a

397
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 6: business and we're here to capitalize off of that business,

398
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 6: it's almost an sense that we're not smart enough to

399
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 6: figure out our own value. As we start to talk

400
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 6: about not just these leagues, these talent agencies, these media companies,

401
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 6: these record labels, they all are built off the influence

402
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 6: of us right globally. And the more we understand how

403
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 6: to make decisions and understand our value and speak on

404
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 6: certain things, the more we'll be able to control our

405
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 6: own narrative.

406
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: There. I'm proud of him because he's not trying to follow.

407
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like he's trying to follow in anyone's footsteps.

408
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: It looks like he's trying to chart his own path.

409
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: Not saying that he's you know, pooping or shading anybody

410
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: that helped to create that space, but he's like, oh

411
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: if I'm gonna make this much money. This is how

412
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to serve my people, which I think is dope.

413
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: I agree sis much love to Jalen Brown of the

414
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics. He's young, black and gifted. I hope we

415
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: get to see more of the same when we return.

416
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: Angela Uriah shares what's at stake in this upcoming election

417
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: and also what frightens her the most back in the moment.

418
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 4: That's why you know, I have to think about a heart.

419
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 6: It was very clear to me that Donald Trump has

420
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 6: to be has to win this election.

421
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: Why do you believe that endorsements could be harmful? I

422
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: know that what you said there. Give me an example

423
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: of a political endorsement that is harmful.

424
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: Any of these foods that would like to endorse Donald Trump?

425
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: That is very harmful.

426
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: Let's let's use another example of someone else, a big

427
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: we already know where rely on that one. Give me

428
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: someone else, like, how about how about someone saying that

429
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily dislike Donald Trump? He has some good policies.

430
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: Is that a harmful endorsement? When someone says, okay, why

431
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: is that? Why is that not nuanced? Well?

432
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: And it could be their truth I think it could

433
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: be their truth that there's some like maybe people really

434
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: like some of the tax beets, correct, But I think

435
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: you have to understand your demo, Like is your demo?

436
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: Are your demo folks that benefited from those tax cuts too?

437
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: Are you gonna offer this disclaimer like this personally helped me,

438
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 2: but I know was terrible for y'all.

439
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 3: Y'all's tax rate is hired in mine. Are they gonna

440
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: say that, you know?

441
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: Are they gonna say, you know that the things that

442
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: he did, the theat there eating their cats and dogs,

443
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: you know, Like, I mean, there's all kinds of things

444
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: that he does that are remarkably irresponsible and dangerous. Is

445
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: he like, how do you stand behind somebody that literally

446
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: tried to tear down the captain? But you're asking you know, yeah,

447
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: you know the other day he said, you know, we

448
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 2: didn't have guns.

449
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 3: They had guns.

450
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 6: There were no guns down there.

451
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 5: We didn't have guns.

452
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: Trying to ask Jack Smith how that's not an admission,

453
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: But can I say something?

454
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're in such a tight race, and I

455
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: know people are asking me this question and you're stating

456
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: this fact in truth and I also believe it, but

457
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: you're like, how can you Well, we can see how

458
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: because half the country is. In fact, I want to

459
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: know if you with all your heart and I agree

460
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: with you in this, and we all agree that he lies,

461
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: he's harmful, he's a threat to democracy. Why is this

462
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: such a tight race? These are obvious questions. Why is

463
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: this such a type race?

464
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a tight race for a lot of reasons.

465
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: The first is this country, as much as people who

466
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: are an elected office can't say it is racist, it

467
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: has a remarkably racist foundation. And I dare go a

468
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: little further and say it has a sexist foundation as well.

469
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: While white women were relieved of the property title quicker

470
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: than folks who look like us Carrie, they still were

471
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: deemed as property and not able to make decisions for themselves,

472
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: and in fact had to get something called I don't

473
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: know the Nineteenth Amendment passed in order to vote as well.

474
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: So it's clear that there are some challenges. Now.

475
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: I will also say this, I think that there are

476
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: some people who have romantics sized the lifestyles of the

477
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: rich and famous right, and they got caught up in

478
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: that back in the day. Shout out to Robin Leach.

479
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: Although I don't know if I should shout you out

480
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 2: or shade you because you have people remarkably fascinated with

481
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 2: this life anyway. Also reality TV, there are all these

482
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: layers of things where people romanticized who folks are. They

483
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: think that he's tough and he's gonna puff and puff

484
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: and blow their house down, right, And I think that

485
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: they're not necessarily thinking about the policy implications of a

486
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump presidency.

487
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: They will believe.

488
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 2: The things that come out of his mouth, even if

489
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: the things that come out of his mouth contradict each other.

490
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: And so I think that the race is tight because

491
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: people are holding on to dear light or for dear life,

492
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: to this idea that you know, it's America first, and

493
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: you know this the patriotic way is the Donald Trump way,

494
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 2: is the way of the Connfederacy, and is the way

495
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 2: to make invisible everybody who is other.

496
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: And different and black and brown and in genous.

497
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: You know, their way of working with the indigenous community

498
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,959
Speaker 2: an Indian country was to put people on reservations like

499
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: this is the same country, the same country that thought

500
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: that a Chinese exclusion Act should be passed. This is

501
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: the same country that interned Japanese people, so we're not like,

502
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 2: let's stop play like this and has taken the lives

503
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: of black folks from the first law enforcement since the

504
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 2: first version of law enforcement existed, Like, let's not forget

505
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: that law enforcement is built out of vigilantes who were

506
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 2: chasing down fugitive slaves. So we're very clear about this

507
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: country's foundation, and sadly it was passed down through the bloodlines,

508
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: and so these people are their ancestors. And until they

509
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: come to terms with the fact that that is actually

510
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: what they're wrestling with, which is fear, the thing that

511
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: he prays upon their fears.

512
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 3: We're gonna have a har road.

513
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 5: Who's gonna win there? I mean to go on that test,

514
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: that's okay, But who's going to win this selection?

515
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: I hope the American people win this selection, and that

516
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: means the American people preserve justice, that they voted their consciences,

517
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: that they voted for righteousness, that they voted to preserve

518
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: a democracy that is fragile and is compromised, and it's

519
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: complicated and still has the opportunity to get better.

520
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 3: If democracy is here.

521
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: Right like, if we preserve it, we have the opportunity

522
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 2: to make it better. If we don't preserve it, you're

523
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: gonna be living under a dictatorship. Because this dude think

524
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: he missed the tea. Okay, are you young people? Go

525
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: and google miss the tea? Y'all know what I.

526
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 5: Here the food that makes that mistake.

527
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like Jesus.

528
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: But I seriously, it's scary thinking that Donald Trump will

529
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: be the president again of the United States of America

530
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: based on everything he says. And you're telling me because

531
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: this country's built on racism, which we know. We're fascinated,

532
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: I think, addicted to black versus white. But if when

533
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: you hear someone say he's a threat to democracy, which

534
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: I hear you say often for the folks at home,

535
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: what does that mean in plain language when you say

536
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: he's a threat to democracy? All the things that you

537
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: dis outline, But what does that mean for John sitting

538
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: at the house neck right now?

539
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: Well, let me make it really, really simple. There's a

540
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: talk where Donald Trump appeared, I think, before a Christian

541
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: group recently, I want to say, two months ago, and

542
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: he says.

543
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 6: And again, Christians, get out and vote. Just this time,

544
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 6: you won't have to do it anymore four more years,

545
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 6: you know, what.

546
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: It'll be fixed.

547
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 6: It'll be fined in four years, you don't have to

548
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 6: vote again.

549
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have

550
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: to vote. That's the end of democracy.

551
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: When your choice is taken away, which is the very

552
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: thing that they've done for women in this country who

553
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: desire to reproduce or don't desire to reproduce, that choice

554
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: is eliminated. Now he wants to take your ability away

555
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: to choose your president, to choose your leader. Right, I

556
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: don't know what that if he meant no elections, or

557
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 2: maybe we don't get to choose a mayor or a

558
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: member of Congress or a state legislator or a valid initiative.

559
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Either that he said, when you elect me, there will

560
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: be no more elections.

561
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: That will be the last election. I'm not signing up

562
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: for that.

563
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: And even if you like two of his policies, are

564
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: you like fifty of one hundred?

565
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: Do you really want to be stuck with this fool forever?

566
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: You say that, and it's scary, But for whatever reasons,

567
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: it's not registering. It's not registering with the people who

568
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: are Actually, why do you.

569
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: Think that is? Why is not?

570
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to get to. I think

571
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: that people don't believe it. I think that because of

572
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: his behavior over the years, how landish, ridiculous, racist behavior.

573
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: I think a section of society has become immune to it.

574
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: And the other day I was on saying n and

575
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: one of the analysts who were like, well, that's his brand.

576
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 5: He doesn't really mean that. That's his brand.

577
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: Now, I don't want my president to have a brand,

578
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: if you will, Yeah, But what I am also concerned

579
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: about is this narrative that and not that black people

580
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: have to vote for black people. But what I'm concerned

581
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: about is this narrative that black men, all the while

582
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: knowing Donald Trump has said racist things, are still voting

583
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: for him. The narrative is that they are supporting him

584
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: more so than they are Kamala Harris and I don't

585
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: think you should just vote for somebody because they're black.

586
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm really curious as to why that is. Why don't

587
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: they hear what you're telling us, what you've been speaking on.

588
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: Why don't they hear that racist rhetoric and think this

589
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: should not be my president in your opinion?

590
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: When you are saying they are you saying black myths

591
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: are okay? So here's the thing that I think is

592
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: so important. I think that it is incredibly important for.

593
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: Us to not believe the media myth.

594
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: You know, when people say hip hop said, don't believe

595
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: a hype, you can't because here's why. If the media

596
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: doesn't quickly turn this narrative numerically around to these white folks,

597
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a real problem black people. And I'm

598
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: not separating black men and black women right now. For

599
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: a reason. Black people have overwhelmingly voted for a Democratic

600
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: ticket since the sixties, overwhelmingly, Like we're talking about in

601
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and twenty sixteen, black men were right under

602
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: black women in terms of voting. I think if we're

603
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: talking about eighty seven percent or something, we need to

604
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: double check that number.

605
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: But around eighty seven percent, So please tell me what

606
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: media's fascination is with saying, well, black men are saying

607
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: now they're gonna be twenty percent for Trump. Will yuts

608
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: talk about y'all sixty and fifty percent? Why y'all not

609
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: hollering at them?

610
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: Why are you so fascinated with the fact that they're

611
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: And I don't believe this, by the way, that it's

612
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 2: nineteen percent twenty percent voting for Donald Trump black men.

613
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: I don't believe that, but let's say that that were

614
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: the case. Let's say that we're the case. Please tell

615
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: me why you're not talking to the white women that

616
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: didn't vote for Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, And please

617
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: tell me why you're not talking to the white men

618
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: who are supporting this man. I want to know what

619
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: they're doing, what they're thinking, and not talking about the

620
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: black men who you're trying to rest the responsibility of

621
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: this election on.

622
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: That is ridiculous.

623
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: And furthermore, talk to the brown folks, talk to the

624
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: Asian folks.

625
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: Look at those cross tabs, and tell me what they're doing.

626
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: This hyper focus on black men isn't because this country

627
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: is like, we just love black people.

628
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: We want to know what you're thinking. Now you're doing here,

629
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: so people about it. We just black lives matter.

630
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 6: No.

631
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: Like, what they're really trying to do is say, Carrie,

632
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something you not gonna like on here. Oh,

633
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: what they really trying to say is if y'all I'll

634
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: show up at the same rate than it's your fault.

635
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: And I rejected. I summarily rejected. I summarily rejected. You

636
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: can bleep my N word if you want to, But

637
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like I summarily rejected.

638
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's a great point because they aren't asking anybody

639
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: else saying math in, math and math in, but they're

640
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: not also asking, to your point, what are the white

641
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: women doing? What are the where They're not asking about

642
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: any other section of society but black folk and more

643
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: specifically black men.

644
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: Like I was bad the other day when mainstream media

645
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: on CNN and MSNBC. I was torn, actually, and I

646
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: talk about this on the podcast too.

647
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: I was torn because I was.

648
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: Elated that they played Leonard's interview with Kamala Harris in

649
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: its entirety on CNN at MSNBC. But I also was

650
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: bracing because I felt like they were waiting for one

651
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: of them to make a mistake.

652
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't feel so celebratory.

653
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: It felt like we're watching y'all to make sure you

654
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: do this right. We're trying to see, if you know,

655
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: if she's gonna win.

656
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 5: Why did it feel that way?

657
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: Why did it feel that way to you?

658
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: You know why? Because again, the math isn't math.

659
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 5: What does that mean?

660
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: Like it means that they are hyper focused on a

661
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: small demographic of people who are saying they're voting for

662
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, and it's a really small demographic, and I

663
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: really want them to start saying, like, oh, let me

664
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: see your voter registration card.

665
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: What was the last election you voted in?

666
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: Because I'm wondering if some of the people are saying

667
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: that are saying it aren't just you know, hyperbolic and

668
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: don't even participate in the in the electoral process.

669
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: I really want to know.

670
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: Like, what's your voting Ruth, who's your member of Congress?

671
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: As you can tell my sisters, passionate about democracy, passionate

672
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: about injustice. And while some of you listening may not

673
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: understand everything, you should hear this one last thing before

674
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: I let you go. This is my last question. I

675
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: know you want everyone to get out there and vote,

676
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: but if it's there's one thing that they need to

677
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: know ahead of this election, meaning like a bring it

678
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: home message, because you all have a bring it Home tour.

679
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: You guys have to check out the Native Land bring

680
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: it Home Tour. They are going to very specific states

681
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: and are they are speaking to people and they're like,

682
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: we need to.

683
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: Bring this election home.

684
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: And I'm very very honored to that you are my

685
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: friend and I can be there and witness that because

686
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: the work is imperative and it's so important, and I

687
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: appreciate you. But what do you want to tell folks

688
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: who may not even know of this tour, or who

689
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: may not even have any idea of what's going on.

690
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: What's the one message we need to know as we

691
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: get ready to barrel down to election day?

692
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: You know, one of my deepest frustrations is every election year,

693
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: people say this is the most important election of our lifetimes,

694
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: it's the most critical. And I got to tell you,

695
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: every single time we say that it is, it's the

696
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: most important one. This election has me waking up at

697
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: four and five in the morning every day like in

698
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: a panic, like what didn't I do?

699
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: What can I do?

700
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: And I think that what I would say to you

701
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: all is if you care about the limited freedoms that

702
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 2: we have, especially people of color.

703
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: The limited freedoms that we have.

704
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: I have every single interest in protecting those freedoms. And

705
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: I want to expand those freedoms. I want to live

706
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 2: in expansion and abundance. I want to create a fair

707
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: and just, an equitable society for all of us. I

708
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: want to live in a place where our children can

709
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 2: thrive and our neighbor's children can thrive. I want to

710
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: create live in a space where, you know, eggs don't

711
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: cost eleven dollars.

712
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 3: You know. I want to be somewhere where housing is affordable.

713
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: You know.

714
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: I'm Orner raised in Seattle, Washington, and it's so expensive

715
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: to live here. And all the families I grew up

716
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: around in the Central District and in the South and

717
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: I lived in the South End. But I had a

718
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: ton of friends in the CD. They don't live there

719
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 2: anymore more. Their grandparents can live there anymore. People lost

720
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: their homes because.

721
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 3: The property taxes were too high.

722
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 2: I want to live in a space where those issues

723
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: are being addressed on the local, state, and national level.

724
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: And we need to be creating a coalition of folks

725
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 2: who are working to advance our causes, our issues, respond

726
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 2: to our demands in kind. Even if that means that

727
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 2: we don't always agree, we can at least have the conversation.

728
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 2: And that is the type of America I want to

729
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 2: live in. And so I say to that, well, let's

730
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: create it, let's demand it, let's seek it out, let's

731
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 2: advocate for it.

732
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 3: Let's fight for it. But that means first, the threshold.

733
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: And responsibility that we have to do is show up

734
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: on November fifth or before.

735
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: If you can early vote or.

736
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 2: Absentee vote, show up and vote for democracy. You don't

737
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: have to love the candidate.

738
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 3: I happen to love her. That's my girl. You don't

739
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 3: have to love the candidate.

740
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you right now, I don't want to

741
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: be in a space with the hate field candidate on

742
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: the other side at all. I don't want to see that.

743
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: I've lived that one time already and I don't want

744
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 2: to see it again.

745
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: This is the most important election that you need to

746
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: vote in. You may hear it every year, but isn't

747
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: it isn't It is.

748
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 5: The most important.

749
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 3: It is imperentive.

750
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: It is imperative. Angela Raye advocate, athlete and not the activists.
