10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: Stee.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: Do you remember the first time you voted? No, hell no,

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: you don't really. Well, you remember early on when you

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: started voting, when it started meaning something to you, right.

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I did. You know, there was a

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: period where I didn't vote when I was home, so

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: I didn't know. Oh, I have them all much deeper concerns, ah,

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: going on way deep. I ain't even know where Novimba

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: fourth was, Yeah, but you know I was. It's just

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: something I look forward to because you know, my parents

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: were older and talked about the right to vote, and

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: they they did not miss and they kind of engraved

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: that in me. So I came from such an older generation,

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: like I'm considered old now.

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: So no, I think that that's true. That's where I

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: learned about voting and the importance of voting and all

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: that through my parents, because they didn't.

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: And you know, I mean, I mean, I think we

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: need to hold on to that voting privilege and that

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: voting obligation because to me, it's just honest hard work

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: that so many of our forefathers, parents, grandparents put into

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: this thing because they fought so hard for us to

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: be able to But you know, we live in the

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: world today where we're reversing everything, and so this is

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: one of the things too. I ain't going down there

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: and vote. I ain't waste my time. But man, y'all,

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: come on, I cannot complain about what's on the menu

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: if you ain't sitting at the table.

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, true, it's so important.

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: It's very very important.

40
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: Vote matter.

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it doesn't matter y'all who sits on the podcast.

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: Let me tell everybody got a podcast, podcasts and Facebook

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: Live proves to me why they have such a process

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: in Hollywood on who they give a TV show to.

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: Everybody don't need them.

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: And if you listen to some of these podcasts and

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: some of these people is trying to play an authoritative figure.

48
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: But it's it's so much negativity out there, man, That's

49
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: what I'm alarmed about. And negativity has spread over into

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: the vot voting community too, and it's a sad thing, man,

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: because voting is not it's it's an honor.

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, social media, a lot of people

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: get their information, mostly about what's going on in the world, news, voting, candidates,

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: whatever it is. And sometimes social media is wrong, and

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: people that are commenting and hosting podcasts and all that,

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: sometimes they make mistakes. They don't do the proper vetting

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: and research. They want to be first with everything to

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: get the information out and it's incorrect oftentimes, and it's like,

59
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: what are y'all talking about?

60
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: This? Correct exactly, but again, go to vote dot gov

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: vote dot gov.

00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,320
