Cornell Belcher is 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.400 a social scientist poster. He was the poster for both 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.520 of Obama's elections in two thousand and eight and twenty twelve, 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.280 and he runs a company, a polling company called Brilliant 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.160 Brilliant Corners, and he was also one of Andrew's posters, 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.760 which I did not even realize. And he will He 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.240 will be joined by another guest who I think Lauren 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.480 r Ep put on our radar, and then Angela had 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.440 the idea to have them both join us. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.360 Do you want to tell us about the other guests, Angela, yes, TIV. 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.680 We're really excited.

They are coming 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.280 from the Highland Project and they conducted a poll of 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.080 black women voters in America this past spring, so we're 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.079 thrilled to have them and to talk about what they 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:08.840 found out. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.800 What I want to talk about is a scary topic, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.800 quite frankly, and that is that we appear to be 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:22.800 on the precipice of a potential nuclear war. Nations with 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:28.240 nuclear power are at odds right now. Israel is a 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.800 nuclear power. They don't like to acknowledge it, but they are. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.480 The United States is a nuclear power. We've been pulled 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:38.120 into a war with Iran, who is a potential nuclear power. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.000 So I want to explore that. But before we get 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.320 into the show, I wanted to pick back up on 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.560 what Angela said about the tour, on what you said, Andrew, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.839 and I've been having trouble getting my words together trying 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.080 to say what I want to say. 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.079 Yeah, I know, can you believe it? 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.280 But that's okay cause somebody else, somebody else said it 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:00.800 better than I could. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.079 So let's hear from her. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.960 What you are doing with this tour, what the leaders 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.160 here have been doing with this tour. 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.599 Is absolutely about giving. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.720 Life to those concepts that we were raised with, including 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:22.720 self determination, the importance of understanding one's power, and empowering 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.720 community at the same time. 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.800 So I congratulate you in front of all the friends. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.240 And to everybody, you're. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:33.960 Okay. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.440 I'm mad because the only video I could get my 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.720 hands on the beginning was cut off. But what Madame 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.760 Vice President Kamala Harry said at the beginning of that 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.400 video is I want to this is her quote directly, 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.920 I want to shout out Angela Rye and then you 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.800 hear the rest of the video. But what she said 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.720 was that's my sister right there, and then she started 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.000 talking about the importance of the tour. So it was 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.120 great being in LA because we got to see Madam 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.880 Vice President and she got to address the community. But 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.120 I just thought it was important to play that clip 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.640 one to just I know it's a team of people. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.840 I've been on emails with the people they reach out 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.840 to me, so I know it's more people than Angela. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.839 But Angela, I know that this torment a lot to 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.160 you when you put in a lot of work. And 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.520 I also thought it is important for our viewers to 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.960 hear that because I of course address Madame Vice President 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.600 as Madame Vice President. Sometimes I will say Kamala, but 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.000 that is because there's a relationship there, and I wanted 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.720 you all to hear that from her because Angela her sister. 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.320 So when you hear her say Kamala is not an 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.640 act of disrespect. It's because they know each other and 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.560 to show that movements start from the bottom up and 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.880 they can rise and reach people all over. So no 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.280 matter where you are in your journey, maybe you weren't 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:48.800 a part of the State of the People tour, maybe 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.480 you're doing amazing work in your own community. I just 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.680 commend all the leaders for all the work that you're doing. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:01.520 Angela is very resistant to praise and compliments. Even at 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.160 the agenda, when the Vice President tried to thank her, 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.280 she immediately deflected and started talking about other people. So 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.240 I was like, Nick, don't tell her to sound I'm 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.800 playing because I wanted you to just get your flowers. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:16.400 As we convene and kick off the National convening in Baltimore. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.439 We will miss you, brother Andrew, but like you are 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.280 on your own mission, that's very important work to you. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.960 So I commend you as well, and I hope this 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.240 inspires people. You know, we've all been on our own 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.360 journeys and we've been very unfiltered about that with you, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.640 all our audience, who we care so much for so, 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:37.720 just congratulations Angela as the national convening is about to commence. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.320 In any words, what's next after this tour? 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.320 Yes, the question it's funny because you know you finished 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.280 one chapter and you know that the story is not written. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.120 Because even as we come to Baltimore now, I wish 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.440 the sound that I should have said when you asked 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.319 me early if I hadn't and I didn't. There was 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.240 an altercation in Baltimore streets with law enforcement just over 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.800 the last couple of days and somebody was killed. And 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.200 so the thing that we keep seeing in every city 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.680 that we're in is that we're supposed to be there, 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.280 that it is divine timing, that there's a place for 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.880 our people to gather, to organize, to coalesce, to collaborate. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.160 And I'm so thankful because it really when I tell y'all, 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.760 if I need to know, like, oh, how big does 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.160 this sign need to be? Who can do the artwork, 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.560 who can up data website, who can speak on a 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.839 panel about veterans in the role of the military right now? 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.240 Who can do tabletop exercises so we know what happens 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.680 if the water supply is cut off or our cell 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.680 phone towers are down. Those are all things I cannot do, 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.000 so that means there are people that are doing them. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:52.520 What I'm grateful for is the ignorant courage that says 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.840 that we can pull all of this off with no 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.440 real plan in time. And I'm very thanking for the 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.840 people who went along for that ride by faith, took 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.360 one step in front of the other, and win by faith. 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.360 So I'm really really grateful. I love that tip brought 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.400 up our mad and Vice President because it is a 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.680 reminder that even with relationship, especially in an era where 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.960 we're so blatantly disrespected, that respects to start at home. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.160 So I do appreciate that nudge always and shout out 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.680 to our sister, the MVP, because I don't know what 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:30.640 these other people is doing. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.440 But also Angela, I mean, we have criticism for her 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.160 as well, but I thought the audience should know that, like, yes, 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.880 if we say we didn't like what Kamala did when 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.720 this happened, none of that is intended disrespect where it's 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.760 our right for now, we have that right in this 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.640 country and it's our responsibility to question our leaders, but 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.360 it is all done from a place of love. Just 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.720 like when y'all criticize us. That's why I can receive 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.320 it because it comes from a place of love. 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:01.080 We have those conversations with her directly. You know, it's 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.240 it's like, oh, I disagree with this. Have you thought 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.400 about this approach? You know? So I definitely know that 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.120 I wish that we had a clip like this when 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.840 we first started to show, because people really didn't get it. 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.800 I remember there was somebody I remember who, but somebody 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:18.840 posted a clip saying that we were mad because we 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.480 didn't get invited to the Christmas party all. And the 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.480 truth of it was, we opted not to go as 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.280 a collective of our group of girlfriends opted not to 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.840 go as a collective to stand in solidarity with the 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.320 Palestinian people. So anyway, we love it. 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:34.920 Yeah. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.200 One of the things that you raised so bravely and 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.000 consistently for us is this sort of what do you do? 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.560 How do you just get started? And Angela, I just 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.920 want to say you exhibited live and in real time 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.280 that you just have to take a step. You just 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.520 have to take a step and you never know what 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.000 kind of squad is lined up behind you. Maybe not 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.800 to do all the things you want every better do, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.120 but they're there to do something, They're there to plug in. 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.880 So I just want to just underscore that mark that 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.800 it took it takes us step do something. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:09.320 Yeah. 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.080 Yeah, and people and plenty of people are out there 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.920 doing something and not everybody's in it. You know, when 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.280 I hear people have aspirations, I have to remind them. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.320 Angela never got into this game to be on TV 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.680 to get a bunch of IG followers. You know, Ala 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.920 was a staffer on the Hill. People used to tell 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.680 me that about Jamal Simmons, like I want to be 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.000 like Jamal Simmons years ago, and Jamal Simmons didn't get 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.000 in this game for that. You know, Jamal Simmons worked 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.400 on about a thousand who gives a craft campaigns across 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:39.920 the like places you never heard of. 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.000 You would work on that. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.000 So when you are honored, when you honor the work 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.359 uh and are not into hashtag celebrity and hashtag activism, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.920 that's where our collective focus should be. So congratulations. I 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:57.440 will see you all in Baltimore this week. We're looking 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.200 forward to it and a lot of our friends. They're 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.440 flying in from all over the country, so it should 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.399 be a good time and definitely want to honor the 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.880 life that was lost in the streets of Baltimore and 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:09.960 we were made. This is a good example. We were 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.000 being lighthearted about the body that is an Injrew's room 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:14.720 right now, but I do want to honor that that 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.920 person lost the life and give with me. 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.440 That was a city, a couple of cities. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.280 Though okay, already dropped the body. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:29.400 Of Listen, y'all a cycle of life. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.280 Real quick, though. I just think I don't want to 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:37.520 let this moment pass without Also, you said something tip 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.760 when you said this whole hashtag celebrity thing. And I've 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:45.159 gotten so much frustration with so many different quote unquote 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:50.240 elected leaders, well elected quote leaders who think because they 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.920 put a post on their social that in some way 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.920 how that means they moves the earth. Then I'm knocking 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:03.359 on doors not bringing nobody in, and they're afraid of 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.560 their own shadow. I just want to thank those folks 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.240 like Keith that listen and again our sorrows go out 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:14.040 to the families impacted in Minnesota by the rationing up 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.639 of this rhetoric, but for getting out there saying what 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.679 needs to be said. And we have to stop cowering. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.320 I have more people asking me, well, Andrew, if you 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.359 know this board is gonna choose the candidate we don't want, 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.719 when do we start to just sort of bring it together, 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.000 you know, bring her in? I said, can we at 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:36.200 least follow through the whole protest? I demand say, not 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:40.040 being made? Why are it is not the obligation of 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.880 those who are being trampled upon to then go and say, hey, 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:46.320 I know you hurt me and you didn't have to 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.560 kick me like you did, but are we gonna be okay? 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.359 I just want to make sure all this no. So 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.280 so if she selected president at these other institutions, if 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.359 the leader that you don't want to select, it, the 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.199 onus is on them to help bring that divide. I 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:05.760 just the politeness the whole. You know, I'm courageous because 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.440 I sent a tweet, but you're not doing anything in 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:14.119 follow up y'all times. If you haven't noticed, it's quitting 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:15.800 time for all of that. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.000 You know, that might be a good mini pod. 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.680 The leadership styles, you know, because they're different leadership styles 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.159 and not everybody needs to lead all the time. Do 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.720 you have what it takes to lead, but also do 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.439 you have what it takes to follow? And that is 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.679 something can do. You have that ego chech that you 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.359 need to follow. So maybe we'll get into that on 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:36.840 the mini pod. And just so our viewers know, you 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.400 referenced Keith Ellison. He was, of course, a former member 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.399 of the Congressional Black Caucus and he is now the 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.879 Attorney General of Minnesota. And as you all know, we 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.080 had political violence. Sadly, I don't think it'd be the 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.879 last that we'll see. We had political violence with the 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.639 loss of the former House speaker state House speaker in 0:19:54.680 --> 0:20:00.600 Minnesota and her husband and another Democratic elected official and 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.360 his wife. They were shot but they both survived. 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:05.679 Still fourteen times. 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.240 Okay, don't go anywhere, because on the other side of 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.679 this break, you guys, we look like we are on 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.639 the precipice of a potential nuclear war. We're going to 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:14.199 get into that. 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:27.119 We'll see you on the other side. 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:33.399 So, speaking of violence, I want to talk, ever so 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:38.840 briefly about this war that it seems like the United 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.840
