46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 8: Okay, Okay, that sounds falls. I know to talk about

47
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 8: talk about the work y'all did, because one of the

48
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 8: things I realized is that your coordination that you've done

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 8: with McCormick Place, with this arena, with local law enforcement,

50
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 8: federal law enforcement, protesters, Kamala Harir supporters, it's been seamless.

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 8: Y'all have done good work. That's a testament to you

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 8: and everybody else.

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 10: It really took a village to pull this off, and

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 10: it took everyone's cooperation. And one thing that uh, the

55
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 10: organizers did, I'm giving them the credit that they made

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 10: sure that all of us were in hotels that were

57
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 10: not more than five miles away from either McCormick Place

58
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 10: or the United Cent are very convenient, even though traffic

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 10: is still a little rough, you know, But I just

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 10: think you're right. It was seamless, a lot of cooperation.

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 10: People really wanted this to work, and they wanted to

62
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 10: show Chicago's best side book people come back and visit.

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's been seamless so far, honestly, like the

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,800

Speaker 9: Congresswoman.

85
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 6: Tonight, we're going to hear from I think this may

86
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,279
Speaker 6: go down historically is one of the most selfless individuals

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 6: in politics, and it's this man. Oh, this man, help him,

88
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 6: help him, Congress.

89
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 9: But we're gonna hear from the sitting president.

90
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 6: I just I'd love to hear any reflections you may

91
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 6: have as we begin the long road to goodbye on

92
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 6: the political stage for a man who spent you know,

93
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 6: half a century uh nearly giving his time, energy, effort,

94
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 6: love to this country.

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 10: Seriously, we're gonna have to have many boxes of tissues,

96
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 10: you know, because a lot of us were definitely Team

97
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 10: Biden until he decided, you know, team Harris, and all

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 10: of us are Team Harris now. But he's he's is

99
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 10: who he's been, and he's been one of the greatest presidents.

100
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,559
Speaker 10: And what we said in CBC promises made, promises kept,

101
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 10: and the promises he couldn't keep. The legislature stopped him, well,

102
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 10: the court stopped him. But when think about his accomplishments,

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 10: his legacy, you know, our Supreme Court justice, first vice president,

104
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 10: African American, this first woman, you know black, you know president,

105
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 10: So now you said.

106
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: To speak it.

107
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 9: So that's that's right, that's right.

108
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 4: That's all of his legacy.

109
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 10: And then all of the things we've been able to accomplish,

110
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 10: sixty percent more entrepreneurship by Black Americans, the student loans

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 10: that I know people personally that you know have been

112
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 10: helped by that, and he wanted to do more, but

113
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 10: you know he couldn't. The lowest black and brown unemployment

114
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 10: rate ever, you know, and I know people are still hurting,

115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 10: so we have to acknowledge that. But that's what the

116
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 10: next president is going to continue to work on.

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 9: That's exactly right.

118
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 11: That's exactly right.

119
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 6: Is there I was saying tonight, I was hoping that

120
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 6: the cheers may be so loud that we don't even

121
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 6: get to hear.

122
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 9: His speech as it.

123
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 12: Oh, they'll be loud.

124
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 9: I expect, I expect it to be the case.

125
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 6: I just wonder if there was a if there was

126
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 6: a well wish that you had for for for this

127
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 6: president beyond his time in service to the country.

128
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 9: Uh, what would it be?

129
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 5: What?

130
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 9: What is your highest hope for.

131
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 10: I just want him to know that he has loved

132
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 10: and appreciated and valued and we will never forget his contributions.

133
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: And I know he.

134
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 10: You know, he might be a little you know, disappointed

135
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 10: and feel some kind of way, but he knows how

136
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 10: many of us were in his corner will continue to

137
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 10: be in his corner.

Speaker 1: want to hear from you. If somebody doesn't live in

162
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: New Jersey, you would still be a historic governor.

163
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: And this is a historic d n C. So talk

164
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: to us.

165
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Draw the through line for us about what it would

166
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: mean to have the first black mayor of New Jersey

167
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: at the same time that we may have the first

168
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: that we will have the first black woman leading the country.

169
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 14: For first black governor of the state of New Jersey

170
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 14: will be number two in the entire country. Uh my

171
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 14: frat brother Wes Moore in Maryland and me and New

172
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 14: Jersey only the fourth in the country's history.

173
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Letters, we got a lot of alpha fai alpha of course,

174
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: the oldest and the coldest.

175
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 8: That's why, that's why I took them five years to graduate.

176
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 9: Five years.

177
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: And you are a Howard University graduates like our future

178
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: president Kabla Harris so Hu.

179
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 14: And they're only fourth in the entire country, which is

180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 14: a sad state of affairs for the country. But it

181
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 14: means a lot of work that we must do UH

182
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 14: here and I think the things that Kamala is fighting

183
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 14: for UH in the nation of things that we're trying

184
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 14: to organize around in the state of New Jersey, uh

185
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 14: and and around the country as well. So we're excited

186
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 14: for this national election, but we're also excited for twenty

187
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 14: twenty five, which when New Jersey will make history and

188
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 14: make me the first black governor in the state's history.

189
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: Well, we're looking forward to seeing that. I think you're

190
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: on the panel. Angela and mccari and Andrew and myself.

191
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: We're all huge hip hop bands, hip hop heads, and

192
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: you are. You come from the tradition of hip hop

193
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: and spoken word, so it's something meaningful to us to

194
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: see somebody we can relate to and talk to and

195
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: who comes from our era, our generation to conflate hip

196
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: hop in politics.

197
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 13: That's right.

198
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you have any thoughts on the role

199
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,359
Speaker 1: hip hop plays in politics.

200
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 14: Well in my place day, well today, I think hip

201
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 14: hop will always be you know, as Chuck D said

202
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 14: the CNN of our community right, and so or most

203
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 14: depth says, wherever hip hop is going is wherever the

204
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 14: black community is going.

205
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 11: Right.

206
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 14: So when we look at what's happening in the hip

207
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 14: hop community or hip hop music, good or bad, it

208
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 14: gives you a kind of a point or reference to

209
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 14: where we are in the black community and what we

210
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 14: have to work on, what we have to do.

211
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 13: How far we've come, and how far we must go.

212
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 14: So because we say everything we want to say when

213
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 14: we need to say it, and we put a little

214
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 14: sass behind a little beat on top of it, and

215
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 14: everybody can understand it, you know, and it gives you clear,

216
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 14: real clarity in terms of what it is that we

217
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 14: need to do to improve what's happening in our community.

218
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 8: You're somebody who understands your place and your role, your

219
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 8: place in history and what it means to be who

220
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 8: you are and carry your name and the legacies and

221
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 8: the shoulders that you stand on. Tonight was an amazing

222
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 8: moment when Jesse Jackson came on stage as the first

223
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 8: opening special guest in Chicago of all places, beautiful sixty

224
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 8: years since we've had freedom summer, and Fanny lou Hamer

225
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 8: was able to echo those words from the convention floor,

226
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 8: talk about just your role in history, how you stand

227
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 8: on the shoulders of those heroes and heroines, and how

228
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 8: you take that seriously.

229
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 7: Some people don't understand.

230
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 8: How others do, but how that helps form who you

231
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 8: are is not only a man, but also as an

232
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 8: elected official.

233
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 14: I always say, like some people inherit money, we inherit responsibility.

234
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 14: And so while other people might get privileged passed down

235
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 14: from the generation and generation, we get responsibility. We have,

236
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 14: you know, all kinds of legacy that we have to

237
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 14: keep going and keep pushing.

238
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 13: People expect us to do that.

239
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 14: In fact, they look for you to open your mouth

240
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 14: when other people keep their ship, to step up when

241
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 14: other people step back, to be unafraid and unapologetic. They

242
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 14: look for you to do that. It's almost that you're

243
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 14: being pushed out there. I remember that Donald Payne's funeral.

244
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 14: I said to folks that people have things to say

245
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 14: about Donald Paine. The reality is he had to be

246
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 14: the Congressman as soon as he was born. Right the

247
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 14: things that he had to step into and get ready

248
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 14: for and prepare for.

249
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 13: He didn't ask for.

250
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 14: These are things that were thrust upon him, so he

251
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 14: had to get itself ready for that. And it's the

252
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 14: same with me and many people in these positions. They

253
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 14: expect you to do what they expect you to do,

254
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 14: and when you embrace it, when you embrace it and

255
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 14: understand what it really means, then you go straight ahead

256
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 14: into it.

257
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 13: You know, you go straight ahead without fail.

258
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 14: And that's what I'm doing, and I think I have

259
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 14: a responsibility to finish the things that our parents began.

260
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of parents, you know that our bond was

261
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: really created talking about that nineteen seventy two National Black

262
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: Political Convention, hunting for that agenda, and when we did

263
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: lay hands on that agenda, Mayor as as you know,

264
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: we see that there's so many things that we still

265
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: have yet to accomplish. I know that you're doing the

266
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: work in new work, and you're setting such a great

267
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: standard and building your own legacy in your local community.

268
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: But what will you tell local elected.

269
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 3: Officials who tune in and watching this, or folks who

270
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: aspire to run for office, how can we lean into

271
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 3: that agenda into ensuring that this party represents the interests

272
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: of all of our folks.

273
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 13: Well, and you're right as some simple as DC statehood, yes, reparation.

274
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 4: Right, they were.

275
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 14: Talking about those things in nineteen seventy two where we

276
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 14: are and we still have not achieved any of those things, right,

277
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 14: And so it means that we have to not just

278
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 14: be in the Democratic Party because we're in the Democratic Party.

279
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 13: We have to make the Democratic Party represent us and represent.

280
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 3: All the clean Woman.

281
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 4: Congress Maxie Waters.

282
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we love you so, yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am.

283
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,720

00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,640

Speaker 4: We have an audience that you all can't see. And

287
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: she just said, I'm coming on with y'all.

288
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: She so we know you're in the rest of the week, Yes,

289
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: ma'm we will have congress Woman Waters on with them Wednesday.

290
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 4: Careen cancel, We're coming back. Angela is talking to the audience.

291
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: As you all see, well, it's live native, we got

292
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: an audience interactive.

293
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 6: If I could, I just I want to want to

294
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 6: congratulate you for the excellent work that you've been doing

295
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 6: already as a sitting mayor. But as a as a

296
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 6: former mayor myself, I often encountered people who were disillusioned

297
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 6: by the pace of change that they wanted to see

298
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 6: in the community right, and then they would get in

299
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 6: some ways frustrated when we might aspire to a higher

300
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 6: position without all of what we want to have done

301
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 6: and perfect in the communities in which we come from.

302
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 6: And I wonder for you, how do you help folks

303
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 6: in the community to see that your work as a

304
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 6: mayor can only be further broad elevated if you were

305
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 6: to become governor. But how do you make the connection

306
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 6: for folks who don't follow politics so closely as to

307
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 6: why it is you would go from being a local

308
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 6: mayor with an excellent resume but more work to do,

309
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 6: to now being mayor, I mean being governor something like mayor,

310
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 6: but of a state governor of New Jersey.

311
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 14: That's a good point because you're an executive and you're moving.

312
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 14: A lot of these people who run for governor are

313
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 14: not executives. Never ran anything that, never organized anything. The

314
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 14: buck never stopped with this ran. They don't have to

315
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 14: answer or be responsible for anything.

316
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 13: But we do.

317
00:14:59,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: That's right.

318
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 14: So the things that we do locally people do get

319
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 14: frustrated when you begin to move on because they feel

320
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 14: like it took you too long to do what you did,

321
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 14: and they want it.

322
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 13: They want you to finish. You gave them, that's right.

323
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 14: But but you know, when you move on, you have

324
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 14: more resources, more opportunity to field is bigger, uh, you know,

325
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 14: because what we're trying to do is heavy, and so

326
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 14: to move it, you need more hands on deck. You

327
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 14: need more people involved. You need more resources, more, more laws,

328
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 14: more opportunity.

329
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 11: Uh.

330
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 14: And you also need to make way for somebody else

331
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 14: because you don't want to be the mayor forever that key.

332
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 14: You want to be able to bring people up. We

333
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 14: grew up in a place where the mayors were mayored

334
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 14: for twenty years. I never wanted to do that, right,

335
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 14: So I want to be able to groom young people

336
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 14: so they could take over where we left off and

337
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 14: begin to carry it baton further and then be in

338
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 14: a spot to give them the resources that nobody gave.

339
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 8: Me before you. I was gonna say, before you leave,

340
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 8: tell people what you what you need. I mean, because

341
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 8: you know, likes on your Twitter feed and prayer right

342
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 8: are good, but that ain't how you necessarily win elections.

343
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 8: Andrew didn't make it that far on love alone.

344
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 14: Right, I would say, go to Rask for Governor and donate.

345
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 14: We need ten dollars, twenty dollars, thirty dollars, forty dollars.

346
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 13: We need that. We are you know, we are high

347
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 13: up in the polls. We're doing well.

348
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 14: Our name recognition is big because we're the mayor of

349
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 14: the largest city in the state.

350
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 13: Our favorabilities are high.

351
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 14: We just need the resources to be able to knock

352
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 14: on doors and pass out literatures and literature and come

353
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 14: to your neighborhood and your block. So I would, you know,

354
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 14: admonish people to go to rasfogovernor dot com and donate

355

Speaker 3: your speech in bringing people into the folk.

380
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 16: Well, it's significant because we didn't get here because we

381
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 16: woke up this morning.

382
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: One second, Derek, we are yeah, Okay, go ahead.

383
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 11: You're on one.

384
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 8: Yes, sure, that was Angela those I think.

385
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: I think.

386
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 11: So we didn't get here because we woke up this morning.

387
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 16: We got here because there was a lot of sacrifice, blood,

388
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 16: strategy and work to.

389
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 11: Bring us to this moment.

390
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 16: And so part of what I talked about in the

391
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 16: speech was given the history of the nineteen sixty four

392
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 16: Missipi Democratic Freedom Democratic Party and all the work they

393
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 16: did leading up to nineteen seventy three in large city

394
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 16: mayors getting elected, whether it's Manager Jackson, coman young Tom

395
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 16: Bradley turning the corner to nineteen eighty four to eighty

396
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 16: eight with Jesse Jackson, who really established what was possible,

397
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 16: would keep hope alive, and you turn the corner. You

398
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 16: look at this moment, we would not have a convention

399
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 16: the way we're having. And now if individuals didn't put

400
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 16: together strategy, they understood the rules, they implemented the rules,

401
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 16: and they didn't run to the microphone. They ran to

402
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 16: the work. And that's what's really important.

403
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: Derek, let me ask you, because there are a lot

404
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: of people you and I met in Jackson where you

405
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: did a lot of work, and in Jackson, the NAACP

406
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: is like a governing body practically has a lot of relevance.

407
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: There are cities where you know, when it's time for strategy,

408
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: don't hear people say, oh, I just came from the

409
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: NAACP meeting. So for people who don't necessarily have a

410
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: personal connection to the organization, what today is the significance

411
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: of the NAACP and why should people their care?

412
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 16: Excellent question. So you know one of thing I'm gonna

413
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 16: start here piably too. Ray socli car Micros to come

414
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 16: to two Glue College where I'm a graduate every year

415
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 16: and he would say organize, organized, organized, and he said,

416
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 16: whether it was your Sunday school or this organization, I

417
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 16: don't believe in organizational supremacy. I believe in getting the

418
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 16: work done. And if the NACP is your vehicle for voice,

419
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 16: then use it. If you go to another community, is

420
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 16: that's not your vehicle, but you have a vehicle to

421
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 16: impart a Black community, then I celebrate that.

422
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 11: So for us, we got.

423
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 16: To make sure that community by community we build out

424
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 16: an infrastructure of black power and use the vehicles that

425
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 16: are available in ACP. We are most predominant in the

426
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 16: Southeast region where the former Confederate States, where majority of

427
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 16: black people live, not large metropolitan areas. In fact, I

428
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 16: met Andrew through the NACP when where he was a

429
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 16: high school student and then went on to the family

430
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 16: Because in local communities, whether you Florida with th h Pool,

431
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 16: when you started Aaron Herroy, when I started that's the infrastructure.

432
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 11: The backbone of the black community.

433
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 16: We oftentimes look to major city politics and we forget

434
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 16: about majority of black folks don't live in Detroit, Chicago,

435
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 16: New York.

436
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 11: They live in the Southeast region.

437
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 8: Yea from Chicago from Mississippi anyway is nothing but the

438
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 8: capital of minister Mississippi.

439
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 11: I mean, this is nor North Mississippi.

440
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 16: And you think about you know your father, right, your

441
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 16: father was a part of that group who put forth

442
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 16: a strategy as students to recognize that this generational fight

443
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 16: we have us versus them all, versus young male versus female.

444
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 16: It's a self defeating reality. Intergenerational organized have always been

445
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 16: the most effective approach. Community centric leadership is the most

446
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 16: effective approach. When you start having ecocentric leadership is the

447
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 16: beginning of the end because individuals will fail you, but

448
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 16: community interests will always seceed.

449
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 11: And that's how I try to lead to NACP. So

450
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 11: if I go to the community in a CP, ain't

451
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 11: the lead?

452
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 16: Great, plug me into what is the lead? Because i'most

453
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 16: celebrate that too.

454
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 8: Go ahead ahead, what are some of the I mean,

455
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 8: we celebrate you often, but we don't necessarily know the

456
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 8: challenges you face. What are some of the challenges you

457
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 8: face and overcome on a daily basis as being the

458
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 8: leader of the oldest civil rights organization.

459
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, remember the.

460
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 16: Internal community external, because internal a mess. If anybody ever

461
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 16: went to a tend of the Black Baptist Church, that's

462
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 16: the nub A CP.

463
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 11: We are all of you. Name it.

464
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Benny Thompson, who's of course ranking member on Homeland Security

465
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,000

Speaker 4: We look, we work for this lovely gentleman.

468
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 3: He's also the superstar that you all were recognized from

00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 6: You arrived just in time, Congressman, because Derek was about

473
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 6: to tell us what is the biggest challenge he faces

474
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 6: at the NAACP and needs all of our help and

475
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 6: try to address.

476
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 5: Is money?

477
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 16: Is people with common sense and courage. You get the money,

478
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 16: common sense and courage.

479
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 7: You know the content.

480
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 11: And I it was been fourteen years ago.

481
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 16: I was in DC for something and we were trying

482
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 16: to get someone to activate because we was doing inside

483
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 16: outside strategy and look, he says, you know, I'm getting older.

484
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 11: You can't do this by yourself.

485
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 16: We need to build something so we can replenish the

486
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 16: progressive black community in Mississippi.

487
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 5: You are fourteen years later.

488
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 16: We have a whole system where we train people over

489
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 16: nine months, twenty five folks, and we put them that

490
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 16: we have. I mean, you have actually US attorney nominees,

491
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 16: district attorney sheriffs, beautations, barbers. Because the leadership don't come

492
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 16: with titles or degrees, becomes with courage and common sense.

493
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 11: And that's how we see this.

494
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: Congressman, I want to bring you in the conversation because

495
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: Derek was just explaining to our listeners or something. We

496
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: all know that a lot of times in the mainstream

497
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: media when we talk about rural politics, the face of

498
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: that politic is the body politic is a white person.

499
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: When we know a lot of our community lives below

500
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: the Bible belt in rural communities, we too are rural America.

501
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: You have championed legislation the lack of hospitalization in the South.

502
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: That was a piece of legislation that you introduced in

503
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: the House to make health care more accessible.

504
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 4: What would you say to the people who.

505
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: Feel forgotten about in those Bible belts, like, how can

506
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: they too sing America and be acknowledged that they too

507
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: are a part of a country that sometimes it so

508
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: often forgets about it.

509
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 17: Well, thank you so much for having me. The notion is,

510
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 17: in this democracy, you have to participate.

511
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: What we have to do is to.

512
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 17: Organize those communities just like we organize urban areas.

513
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 5: They're no different.

514
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 17: They've just been overlooked and once you get there you

515
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 17: find out, Gee, they are just like people in the

516
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 17: big city. And so what we have to do is

517
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 17: have a joint strategy urban rule to make sure that

518
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 17: no one is overlooked. Our problem in America is that

519
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 17: we somehow, even in urban areas, overlook the black community.

520
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 5: In the rural areas, they're forgotten.

521
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 17: And so we just resolved a lot of black farmer

522
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 17: issues in this country.

523
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 5: Huge, that's right. But this is the fourth time that

524
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 5: we had to do a pavement.

525
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 7: You know, we did the pickfoot case pick for the

526
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 7: one and two.

527
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 17: That's right, And so all of a sudden, people say, oh,

528
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 17: isn't that wonderful now, but we're still behind because a

529
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 17: lot of people who still owe debt.

530
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 5: Uh that got the money, but they owe more money

531
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 5: in debt than they had.

532
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 4: John Boyd, that's right.

533
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 17: So what we have to do now is to somehow

534
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 17: come up with that strategy that encompasses it all. And

535
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 17: so that's why at a convention like this, we need

536
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 17: to make sure that a lot of those policies after

537
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 17: we celebrate, are talked about and that that that policy

538
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 17: is absolutely how.

539
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 13: We put it together.

540
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: That's one of my favorite things about having worked for you,

541
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 3: and I think still work for you. I learned from

542
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: him all the time, and you will always say, we

543
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: can celebrate this, but we got work to do, so

544
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 3: we can't celebrate too long. What are some of the

545
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: things that you think it is imperative in addition to

546
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: taking care of our rural communities that have to be

547
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 3: addressed this week. We know there are protests happening simultaneous.

548
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 17: Yeah, but you know, to be honest with you, the

549
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 17: protests that are going on when you talk to people

550
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 17: in my district, it's probably number twenty out of fifteen

551
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 17: in terms of priorities because everybody is in a survival mode.

552
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 17: They want to make sure that kids get education, they

553
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 17: want healthcare. Now you can talk foreign policy, but you know,

554
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 17: it's about what I'm getting right here at home, and

555
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 17: if the policies don't impact me at home, it's tough

556
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 17: for me to look overseas at a policy. The other

557
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 17: situation we have to do is to make sure that

558
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 17: the policy make us don't overlook people. That paternalistic approach

559
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 17: to politics is crazy. That means that, oh, you just

560
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 17: elect me and I know what's good for you. That's

561
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 17: absolutely ludicrous. You know, unless you've walked in my shoes,

562
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 17: you don't know anything about me other than what you

563
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 17: might have read. And so our challenge in this country

564
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 17: is to put those concerns on the front burner. You know,

565
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 17: too many times we've been told, oh, oh, we're gonna

566
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 17: get to it. Yeah, you know, I got to get elected.

567
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 17: And you know, look, every major entity in this country

568
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 17: has leverage, but somehow the black community has always been told, well,

569
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 17: you know it'll come, you know it'll and it never comes.

570
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 6: Congressman, can you speak to as our nominee Kamala Harrison

571
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 6: continues to make her rounds around the country a lot

572
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 6: of time and in really important flip states. But I

573
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 6: wonder to the point that you just made for the

574
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 6: community that sits at home and says, we're always the

575
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 6: backbone of this party, but we rarely rarely get to

576
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 6: toil in the largest of it. What advice might you

577
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 6: have for her, as she, of course rightly focuses on

578
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 6: some of these swing states to ensure that a message

579
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 6: is delivered are at home community that she's gonna be

580
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 6: their president too.

581
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 17: Well, that's why the speech I'm looking for Thursday night

582
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 17: has to be encomplishing of all the Democratic constituents. And

583
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 17: I think she is that person properly positioned to make

584
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 17: those arguments on behalf not just of people of color,

585
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 17: but people who have been left out. And so it's look,

586
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 17: the people on the other side are gonna demogogue her

587
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 17: for sure anyway, So you might as well come with

588
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 17: those issues that are important, and once you come with them,

589
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 17: then you go with it.

590
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 13: But you come with sound.

591
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 17: Policies, those policies around healthcare, those policies around education, those

592
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 17: about income insecurity, all those kinds of things.

593
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 5: I mean, one thing she's talking about with the housing issue, well,

594
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: you know.

595
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 17: When you put that twenty five thousand dollars down on

596
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 17: the home ownership thing, guess guess who does the financing.

597
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 5: Guess who owns the lumber company?

598
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 6: You know.

599
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 17: I mean, so it's a it's good for the economy.

600
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 17: Don't look at that family that gets a home for

601
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 17: the first time. Right, I'm still putting water systems together

602
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 17: in my district. When the system comes and says, well,

603
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 17: why are you always helping them? I said, I'm glad

604
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 17: you asked. Do you know who owned the pipe company

605
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 17: that sells all these pipes for this rual water system?

606
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 17: You know who sells the meter who? So all we

607
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 17: get is the water. We get none of the economics. Now,

608
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 17: if we are really radical, we would say to that

609
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 17: pipe company, you have to have a conversity equit an

610
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 17: inclusion program so that when that community gets water, they

611
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 17: also get.

612
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 5: Some of the economics that go with it.

613
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 11: That's right.

614
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, some said that's radical, but that's paying community back,

615
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 5: putting people in office.

616
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 8: Let me let me just ask a question of both

617
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 8: of you guys, while you're here and before y'all traverse

618
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 8: and meet all these people, good folks out here. What

619
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 8: I've been admiring is nineteen eighty four was Jesse, two

620
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 8: thousand and eight was Barack Obama. Twenty sixteen was also

621
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 8: Hillary with a little history. They all stand on the

622
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 8: shoulders of Fanny Lou and they stand on the shoulders

623
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 8: of Shirley Chisholm. But what are you seeing in this

624
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 8: convention that makes Kamala Harris a little bit different? And

625
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 8: what do you hope we learned from all of those

626
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 8: heroes and heroines that have come before. Well, and that's

627
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 8: for both of that one, both of you guys.

628
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 17: Yes, yeah, Well I knew Fann and Lou oh very personally.

629
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 17: She became my role mal. The first real campaign I

630
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 17: worked in was her campaign for Congress, of which I

631
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 17: now represent that district. So you know, history has a

632
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 17: way of repeating itself, so that legacy we can't let

633
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 17: become forgotten. So for sixty years she came and said

634
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 17: to Democrats, you know you got to do better. You know,

635
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 17: you can't patronize us and then enjoy all the spoies

636
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 17: of victory.

637
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 5: You have to be inclusive.

638
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 17: And that's what we have to do as a people,

639
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 17: is not let our friends forget us, that's right, not

640
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 17: let our friends take us for granted. And so for

641
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 17: Fannyluke celebration sixty years, we're still in training.

642
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 5: Because we haven't fulfilled.

643
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 17: That notion that somehow, as fan Lu said, we're sick

644
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 17: and tired of being sick and tired. And a lot

645
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 17: of us are sick and tired of being sick and

646
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 17: tired of telling our friends what they need to do.

647
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, say it for the people in the back bus.

648
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, you know the lesson and all of

649
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 16: this is none of us can do it by ourselves.

650
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 16: And if we think we are the super person that's

651
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 16: gonna do by ourselves, we're gonna fail every time time,

652
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 16: and we're going to disrupt progress of people. You know,

653
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 16: I grew up in Detroit. I come to Mississippi. I

654
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 16: went to Tugaloo, and instantly I was surrounded by, you know,

655
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 16: a large number of folks who were civil rights veterans,

656
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 16: whether it's snake or whatever else.

657
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 13: And I felt at home.

658
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 16: Why because the lessons that were there for me not

659
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 16: to make old mistakes. We've got to stop making old mistakes.

660
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 16: There as new ones to make. Secondly, you have people

661
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 16: who were committed to improve the quite of life of

662
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 16: our communities, and they had been doing it for generations. Thirdly,

663
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 16: I have a responsibility to both listen to the wisdom

664
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 16: and train the youth, because if we don't do that,

665
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 16: we will lose the progress as made. We wouldn't sit

666
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 16: we'd be we wouldn't be sitting here. We would have

667
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 16: never had a Barack Obama if it wasn't for your father,

668
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 16: if it wasn't for a fella new hammer, if it

669
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 16: wasn't for you can name another a lot of people,

670
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 16: including conference maker, ell a banker, you know, because they

671
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 16: sacrificed and they would not you know, celebrities. Then we

672
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 16: celebrate them more now, but now that they're dead than

673
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 16: when they was alive. And so we need more people

674
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 16: who are willing to sacrifice to improve the quality of

675
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 16: life of all black folks and not just for themselves.

676
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, can I ask so, Congress, might I want to

677
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: tell you that Angela told us a story one time

678
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: about when she was your staffer and she was exhausted

679
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: with something, and she made the mistake of saying she

680
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,479
Speaker 1: was tired, and you said you tired, stressed out, stressed

681
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: out out, stressed out?

682
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 4: Are you stressed out?

683
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: We heard you gave her quite the tongue lashing that

684
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: day for being stressed out.

685
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 5: Well, you know, when I was a young child, uh

686
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 5: who loved me the most. Yes, gave me the worst

687
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: whooping of my life. And that was my mama.

688
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 10: Yeah.

689
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 17: And look and after Mama disciplined me, she said, I

690
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 17: did that because I love you.

691
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, all worse.

692
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 17: She said, you know that hurt me more than it

693
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 17: hurts you. So I take Angela in that perspective because

694
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 17: I see the talent. The other thing she didn't tell

695
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 17: you she might have is I told her that her

696
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 17: job was to help me make some black folk rich

697
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 17: in the government space. She looked at me and said,

698
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 17: I said, look, I don't care what you do. If

699
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 17: we need to bring booring Lockheed Martin the CEOs here

700
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 17: and asked them about diversity, asked them about and so

701
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 17: twice a month we brought those folks in and we asked,

702
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 17: you know, do y'all have black people?

703
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 4: I love that, you know, I mean, you know, I mean.

704
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 5: It's it's what you do.

705
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: How many people on your board, your corporate board, how

706
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: many in the c suite the executive rings.

707
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's right, we appreciate you.

708
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 17: But now that the problem with that is those companies

709
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 17: will go around my back. That's somebody who look like

710
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 17: me and every time and try to you know, say, oh, well,

711
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,200

712
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 17: talk to Robert.

00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 9: Perpetual, one of the people.

00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 4: Harriet was left behind.

719
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:41,320

Speaker 16: That's okay. As long as you having black folks. If

Speaker 16: the group.

Speaker 4: Yeah, and he did it all ethically and above board.

732
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 4: That's most important thing. Yes, absolutely, because you.

733
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 5: Know car they would tell me, so, you know, if

734
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 5: I could find somebody.

735
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 7: Right there, but if I could find some if I

736
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 7: could find some talent right today.

737
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: Some times that made us put together a book for

738
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 3: hearing witnesses, for appointees in the administration, for staffers. We

739
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: absolutely had to do that. So you you talked right

740
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 3: to his heart.

741
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: Yes, well, we tried to do on mainstream media as well,

742
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: because it's like, there are black people who can talk

743
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: about Middle East politics, there are black people you can

744
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: talk about domestic policies.

745
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 6: But the example of the congressman what I love about it?

746
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 6: And Derek, I'm going to tell you something about you

747
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 6: and this but is it is? It is transferable any

748
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 6: if you were an elected official, you're a policymaker. You

749
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 6: are a person out there who runs owned business and

750
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 6: you are operating right now, and you're not asking the

751
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 6: sensible questions about why doesn't this reflect the community that

752
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 6: we have?

753
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 9: Why doesn't this room reflect the community that we have?

754
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 6: When I lost the race for governor and twenty eighteen,

755
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 6: one of the first calls I got in late twenty

756
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 6: eighteen was from that brother over there, Derek Johnson, asking me,

757
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 6: are you set up?

758
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 9: Are you okay?

759
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 6: He knew that, in addition to me having come out

760
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 6: of that race that way, that I was also no

761
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 6: longer mayor, and he didn't know what my economic situation was,

762
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 6: but he can't go to do it. And I had kids,

763
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 6: and he said he wanted me to be okay. And

764
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 6: I use these two examples. One, they're excellent examples of.

765
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 5: Humans.

766
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 6: But their clarity around the way in which they are

767
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 6: to impact the world is clear. But it doesn't belong

768
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 6: to them. It's transferable. All of us can learn from

769
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 6: it and.

770
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 9: We can repeat it. And gentlemen, we thank you for

771
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 9: that examptly, you know.

772
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 8: And I think I messed up because I asked him

773
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 8: should I start a gofund me?

774
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, take it.

775
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 5: He didn't take mine.

776
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 7: Coming from the heart, we can't help.

777
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 4: But before you leave the set, I do want to ask.

778
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: You have two former staffers here, Which of the two

779
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: former staffers.

780
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 4: The most.

781
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 7: The one you like the best?

782
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 4: I don't know.

783
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 17: He just looked, but look, look, uh, my job is

784
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 17: to train another hundred people.

785
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 5: And look when somebody comes and.

786
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 17: Complained to me about how hard Angela is on them,

787
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 17: I know Angela is doing a job.

788
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 5: Right When they say that Derek that you know, I

789
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 5: don't understand. I can't talk to Derek. He did.

790
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 17: Derek's doing his job, so I judge them by the

791
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 17: people who come to me complaining about if nobody's complaining that,

792
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 17: that's right, and we have a lot to do, but

793
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 17: our charge for this audience. We now have people in

794
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 17: positions who can help us make a difference, and somehow

795
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 17: they take the coloration and character of the enemy. And

796
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 17: so we now find ourselves button the heads with people

797
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 17: who look like us, trying to convince them that it's

798
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 17: all right to do business with people who look like you.

799
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 17: Now we would never say do business with someone that's

800
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 17: not qualified, but the most of the people you're doing

801
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 17: business with you don't even know. One of the things

802
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 17: I'm doing now is mentoring people who are new mayors

803
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 17: in cities. I was a mayor in the seventies, and

804
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 17: I said, especially when those mayors have either been congress

805
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 17: people or something like that. I said, Now, when you

806
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 17: win that office, uh, and this consultant comes up who've

807
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 17: been representing that city that you've been the congress person

808
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 17: and you never met them.

809
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 5: Problem, run them off.

810
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 17: Run them off if they didn't see the value of

811
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 17: you when you were in this other position. When you

812
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 17: hear now, yeah, yeah, if you want to watch out,

813
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 17: they'll go and bring somebody who looks like you that

814
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 17: you don't even know. They're not going to even give

815
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 17: you the respect of saying, look, I'm looking for somebody.

816
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 5: Send me some people you might know. They'll go pick

817
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 5: Joe blow off the street, put put a suit on him.

818
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: Uh huh, yes, yeah, Congressman, we know, we know you

819
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: and Derek are both super busy.

820
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 4: We want to thank you guys so much. Appreciate finest Congressman.

821
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 4: We appreciate, we love, thank you.

822
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: We are being joined right now by Democratic Senator Race.

823
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: We're being joined right now by Democratic Senator Corey Booker

824
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: from New Jersey. He was one of three senators black

825
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: senators in the upper chamber of the House during Vice

826

Speaker 1: President President elect Kamala Harris's tenure in the senior Senator.

827
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 4: We're so happy to have you. Thank you so much

828
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,000

Speaker 7: Am thrilled to be here.

830
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 5: Thank you.

Speaker 4: We are home.

832
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 18: I feel I would just hang out with you guys

833
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 18: if there weren't thousands of people watching.

834
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 7: I know you got to run quickly. We just grabbed

835
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 7: you off the street real quick.

836
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 8: If you could tell Kamala Harris what we need to

837
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 8: do over the next four days to elicit that hope

838
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,479
Speaker 8: that we know reverberates within you and get people turned

839
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 8: out to vote.

840
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 7: What you're telling her.

841
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 18: I want to tell people the truth right now, Kamala

842
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 18: Harris is next level, exceptional, extraordinary. I got a chance

843
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 18: to serve for word. I'm not worried about her. The

844
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 18: thing that's most exciting to me right now and I'm

845
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 18: telling you right now, all of us maybe a year

846
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 18: or two old to really understand this, what is happening

847
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 18: with young people in America who many of them were

848
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 18: maybe four.

849
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 12: Or five, six, seven years old in two thousand and eight.

850
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 18: They are now equipped with tools and technology we never

851
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 18: even dreamed of.

852
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 12: They are driving this campaign.

853
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 18: This will be the first true millennial gen Z election

854
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 18: of our lifetime because they are making her viral, They

855
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 18: are elevating her and creating enthusiasm, and so I just

856
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 18: want to say to the young people, you will decide

857
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 18: the outcome of this election. I know that we have

858
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 18: older voters and voting at high percentages and the like.

859
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 18: But the hype, the energy, the excitement, the funk, the groove,

860
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 18: the things that I think bring real soul to a campaign.

861
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 18: I think that's coming from the top, but it's really

862
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 18: being sourced from a new generation of young people who,

863
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 18: for the first election in their lifetime, are really ascending.

864
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 3: Senator Booger is always so good to see you. We

865
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 3: were told you had about five seconds.

866
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: So what an exciting time? Only amazing people walking by, Angela.

867
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: What was it like for you having your former boss

868
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: on sets?

869
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 4: You let me tell you.

870
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: So I get to serve on the CBC Institute board

871
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 3: with Congressman times and and with Derek actually, so it's

872
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 3: always a good time. And so I knew he would

873
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 3: be excited t if you got right to the thing

874
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 3: that he both loves and hates, and so I knew.

875
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, she got him on a roll, baby,

876
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 3: And I love to see him like that because people

877
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: normally see BGT so reserved. So to hear him like

878
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 3: in his comforta and you could see he was like, Oh,

879
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 3: we're gonna post up here on a.

880
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,560

899
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: don't know a lot about your background, but you are

900
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: a pH d. You have worked in education, you are

901
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: married to an educator, and you know sadly you lost

902
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,959
Speaker 1: your congressional bid. We talked about it on our show,

903
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: but your background kind of got lost in that narrative.

904
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: So I'm curious, because you know, we're here at another

905
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: historic Democratic national convention. There are protests out that were

906
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: connected to a lot of the issues why some arguably

907
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: why you may have lost your district. What would you

908
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: like to say to the Native Land Pod audience today,

909
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:28,680

Speaker 5: But yeah, I ran because of my kids.

922
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 19: I governed for the kids and families who have been

923
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 19: marginalized and least loss and left behind. It was a

924
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 19: great time in Congress. The work will continue for the

Speaker 19: to continue to talk about a foreign policy that's rooted

929
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 19: in diplomacy and peace and self determination for all people,

930
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,240

Speaker 19: doing the work.

933
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 8: We ask you the personal question because one of the

934
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 8: things that Andrew had to go through, I guess what

935
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 8: year was that? Andrew twenty eighteen year raised twenty eighteen

936
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 8: in twenty eighteen he went through yesterday. In twenty fourteen,

937
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 8: I had to go through it. I ran for lieutenant governor,

938
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 8: gave up my state house seat, Andrew gave up his

939
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 8: mayoral seed and ran and wasn't successful. We tried to

940
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 8: trip away at the glass and now you're in this

941
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 8: same phase. It kind of feels like you're in the

942
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 8: wilderness for a minute because you've you've been attached to

943
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 8: something thing for so long. But tell tell people who

944
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 8: have not been there, you know, because a lot of

945
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 8: times they see politicians win or lose and they don't

946
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 8: really know what it feels like to go through that

947
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 8: when you're not on that high of winning.

948
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 7: And what are you doing to help.

949
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 8: Figure out what the next step is and how are

950
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 8: you getting there? What's up, brother Ford, to determine, to

951
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 8: determine what's next for you.

952
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 5: That's a great question.

953
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 19: First and foremost, rest, pray, meditate, spend time with my

954
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 19: family first and foremost. That's what I did for the

955
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 19: first few weeks after the race. Races are exhausting, as

956
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 19: we all know, exhausting, So just resting and spend time

957
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 19: with my family.

958
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 9: Especially when they spend time calling you something you're not well.

959
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 19: You are not more money spent against me than any

960
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 19: congressional race in history, And so the ads were constant,

961
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 19: the mailers were constant to tell it was really really crazy.

962
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 5: So first and foremost rests.

963
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 19: Secondly, quite honestly, I feel a same of liberation after

964
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 19: this loss, because it's not really you know, every loss

965
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 19: is a learning experience, and I learned a lot in

966
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 19: Congress for four years. I still have deep, great relationships

967
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 19: in Congress. I'm going to continue to have those relationships.

968
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 19: But you can have impact and do good work outside

969
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 19: of Congress, and in Congress sometimes you know, I'm a

970
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 19: little rough around the edges, so I would get myself

971
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 19: in trouble every now and then in Congress. Now I

972
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 19: feel like, Okay, I'm a private citizen who's still going

973
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 19: to do everything I can to serve the people of

974
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,959
Speaker 19: my district or around the country and around the world.

975
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 3: Can I ask you, Speaking of around the world, one

976
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 3: of the things that Congressman Timpson just talked about when

977
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 3: he was on is that in his.

978
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 4: District, the issue of Israel Palestine is like.

979
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 3: A number twenty because folks are just fifteen again, twenty

980
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 3: out of fifteen. Okay, all right, So But my point

981
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 3: is that he was saying that they are just on

982
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: kitchen table issues and survival themselves. What do you say

983
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 3: to folks who have taking this on as issue number one,

984
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 3: right and the folks who are seeing this huge gap

985
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 3: of it being number twenty out of fifteen, how do

986
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 3: we close that gap? Because there is so many similarities

987
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 3: between these causes of oppression and fighting against it for liberation.

988
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think it speaks to the diversity of our

989
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 19: country and the diversity of our district.

990
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 5: Like, depending where you are, it may not be, it

991
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 5: may not even be on the radar.

992
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 19: At the same time, in my district, it was very

993
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 19: heavily on the radar, particularly on the other side in

994
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 19: terms of when you look at the majority of Americans,

995
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 19: the majority of American support a permanent ceasefire, but most

996
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 19: some people, most people in my DISTRICTI vote against me,

997
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 19: do not support that. And so it was a top

998
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 19: issue in my district for the kitchen table issue.

999
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 5: People in my district.

1000
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 19: The conversation around why are we saying spending four billion

1001
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 19: dollars a year to support the killing of women and

1002
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 19: children and civilians in Gaza when I'm struggling to pay

1003
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 19: my rant. I'm struggling to pay my mortgage, I'm struggling

1004
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 19: to for childcare, I'm struggling to pay my utilities, I'm

1005
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 19: struggling to afford my day to day existence, and we're

1006
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 19: spending billions overseas to support war. So that's one way

1007
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 19: to bridge the gap. Secondly, and you know, we could

1008
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 19: debate this in different settings. Many people see our support

1009
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 19: of the state of Israel and the way Benjamin and

1010
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 19: Yahoo particular is behaving as supporting white supremacy. Yes, and

1011
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 19: that white supremacy is oppressive to black and brown people

1012
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 19: here all the time, whether you look at a Project

1013
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 19: twenty twenty five or even some of the Democrats policies

1014
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 19: historically tough on crime policies.

1015
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 5: White supremacy impacts us.

1016
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 19: All impacts us in the justice system or injustice system

1017
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 19: and the healthcare system, the education system and housing, and

1018
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 19: it impacts us in our foreign policy.

1019
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 5: So those are a couple of ways we bridge the

1020
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 5: gap in our district.

1021
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 4: I love that through line.

1022
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: I think that makes so much sense, given though that

1023
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: there are you know, a significant amount of young people,

1024
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: especially who are protesting and pleading with Vice President Kamala Harris.

1025
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: Our President elect, I speak it into existence. Yes, absolutely,

1026
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: given that there are people though, who are frustrated by

1027
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: the current administration's policy, President Biden, on President Biden's watch,

1028
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: the amount of fiscal support that has been given to Israel.

1029
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: What would you say to those young people, which I

1030
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: think is what Angela was alluding to, for those people

1031
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: who are making it their central issue, what is your

1032
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: piece of advice? Because it's not going to be better

1033
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: under a president Donald Trump, No, it's not. Can they

1034
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: continue to be heard? I guess, pressure but also support

1035
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: this president because honestly, it's starting to feel like, you know,

1036
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: sometimes the on the Palace Indian side, black people are

1037
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: supporting white supremacy is like time out. Don't let the

1038
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: old pressor our community.

1039
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 19: That's that's that's one of the insidious aspects of white

1040
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 19: supremacy is constant and conquer. It's very challenging because I've

1041
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 19: met Palestinians who have lost twenty thirty, forty fifty members

1042
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 19: of their family right in Gaza because they all live together.

1043
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 19: So you bomb a building, you're killing generations of people.

1044
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 19: So it's going to remain a top issue for the

1045
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 19: Palasainian community. It's going to remain a top issue by

1046
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 19: extension for the Muslim community and for the Arab community

1047
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 19: and for Middle Eastern communities, and so continue to speak

1048
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 19: up in protest as what our country is founded upon.

1049
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 19: But you also got to understand that when we talk

1050
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 19: about the fight against white supremacy, black people have always

1051
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 19: been at the forefront of that fight, and we will continue.

1052
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 19: Look at this, brother here, answer question seriously, and.

1053
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 4: You come up here.

1054
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 7: Let me just tell you you ain't much flavor.

1055
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 3: Flavor of I just want to tell you, and for

00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,319

1057
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 3: telling me I need to calm down. I always ready

1058
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 3: to have a meltdown. I was literally about to be

1059
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 3: in tears Tiff and action orientated and shut us. Tiff

1060
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 3: with her ability to just think and problem solve, went

1061
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 3: over to Roland and was like, ro we got this

1062

1069
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,480

Speaker 1: seems to be welcoming people to the convention. It looks

1133
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,600

1144
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 6: presidential nominee to be here this early, But I think

1145
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 6: this is I think this is partly an o to

1146
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 6: her work in partnership with Joe Biden.

1147
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 9: President Joe Biden will be the keynote speaker.

1148
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: Of her unique position as his vice president, but who

1149
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: he's passing the tords to, but also as the soon

1150
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: to be nominee officially the nominee for the Democratic National Convention.

1151
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:42,640

1156
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,240

1157
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 20: on Wednesday. No, he said I'll do Monday, and then.

1159
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 6: And I think you'd agree for the man to be

1160
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 6: the most powerful leader of the free world so far

1161
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 6: as we know it, and believe he could run and win,

1162
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 6: and to step back and say I don't want that fight.

1163
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 6: Our country doesn't need that fight right now, I said earlier,

1164

1167
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 6: appreciation runs that deep for the sacrifice that he's made,

1168
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 6: not just at this moment but over the arc of

1169
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 6: his uh uh political career. Jamal, I'm curious if you

1170

1171
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,120

1172
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 20: That's a big step down from Alfha. I appreciate it.

1173
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 4: Appreciation appreciated.

1174
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 20: And Chris Chris Berry at I heart, I'm gonna see

1175
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 20: you the envoys.

1176
00:58:58,560 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 4: That actually is.

1177
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 3: Warranted, Jami, before you chime in here, I know this

1178
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 3: is something that's there to get down, down, stop it,

1179
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 3: shut up. That's near and dear to your heart. And

1180
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 3: that is the theme of this convention today is for

1181
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 3: the people. We know, of course that was Kamala Harris's

1182
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 3: a campaign slogan going into twenty twenty, but it's for

1183
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 3: the people for our future is a full campaign theme.

1184
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 4: So I just wanted to talk about that just briefly.

1185
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 3: Because we're seeing a lot of labor leaders, civil rights

1186
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 3: leaders who are coming up today.

1187
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 4: They're showing that huge chant that this party is supposed

1188
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 4: to be.

1189
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 3: And again we know that there's still protests on the outside,

1190
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 3: but even those voices, the dissension is welcome.

1191
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 19: It's all welcome. And if we are for the people,

1192
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 19: we have to be for all the people, and we

1193
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 19: have to be for equity, and we have to be

1194
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 19: for justice in all its forms. And for me to me,

1195
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 19: that means we have to be for universal childcare, universal

1196
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 19: pre K, paid leave for all.

1197
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 5: Finally, we're one of the only developed nations that does

1198
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:00,919
Speaker 5: not I have paid leave.

1199
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 19: We have to make sure we're investing in education, education, education, education,

1200
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 19: and can we please raise the damn federal minimum wage?

1201
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 4: About that?

1202
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, seven five and hour.

1203
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 19: Was still And just to piggyback on that and talk

1204
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 19: a little bit about President Biden. So my first two

1205
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 19: years in Congress, we had control of the House and

1206
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 19: the Senate, and I felt like.

1207
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 5: We was rocking and rolling.

1208
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 10: Man.

1209
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 19: We was getting things done in the American Rescue Plan,

1210
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 19: the Chips and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the

1211
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 19: Safer Communities Act, the Bipartis of Infrastructure Bill. We were

1212
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 19: getting things done and it was incredibly active and incredibly inspiring.

1213
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 19: Two years later, Republicans come in take control and we

1214
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 19: literally stopped doing the people's work. And so when we

1215
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 19: talk about contrasts, to me, there's no conversation Republicans want

1216
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 19: to shut down the federal government.

1217
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 5: They want to end the Department of Education, they want.

1218
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 19: To defund health and Human Services. Human services. Democrats were

1219
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 19: governing for the people. We just have to continue that.

1220
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 19: And when President Kamala gets in and we have to

1221
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 19: support her on the outside by holding members of Congress,

1222
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 19: the House is centered accountable to push a very aggressive

1223
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 19: agenda forward because we need transformation right now.

1224
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 5: We do, we do.

1225
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 4: While we speaking of transformation real quick, Macory, I do

1226

Speaker 8: up on your parents' knees seeing all of these heroes

1249
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 8: and icons and then coming to something like this where

1250
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 8: you celebrate Jesse, you celebrate Fanny lou Hamer, you celebrate

1251
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 8: now Kamala Harris still making history.

1252
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 7: What that feels like for you?

1253
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 21: Man?

1254
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 11: It's amazing. First, I want to thank everybody.

1255
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 21: Thank y'all for all the great work that you do

1256
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 21: on behalf of the African American Mayors Association, all five

1257
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 21: hundred plus African American mayors across the country from Seattle

1258
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 21: your dad, all the way to Savannah.

1259
01:02:58,640 --> 01:02:59,959
Speaker 11: We got Mayor's.

1260
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 21: Represent and all the D nine and all the organizations,

1261
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 21: all that stuff, all those things, and so you know,

1262
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 21: I think when you come here and you think back

1263
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 21: to Reverend Jackson in eighty four and we sit here

1264
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 21: in twenty twenty four, and you think about his speech

1265
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 21: and his run and all the things that happened since then.

1266
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 21: It is just emotional. I mean, I can't describe it.

1267
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 21: I remember being here in ninety six. I'll date myself

1268
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 21: when Clinton was running for a re election and Jesse Jr.

1269
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 21: You know, they were the new Jackson the block, all

1270
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 21: those guys, you know, and so you know, thinking about

1271
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 21: this energy that we have here is just you know,

1272
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 21: I almost want to say, it's oh eightish if I

1273
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 21: can say that, there's just a level of enthusiasm and

1274
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 21: energy that has just changed.

1275
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 11: And that is no disrespect too.

1276
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 21: I think has been one of the most transformational presidents

1277
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 21: in the last seventy five years. In President Joe Biden

1278
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 21: is just a shifting energy, shifting optimism, and I certainly

1279
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 21: think when you consider the history and the legacy that's

1280
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 21: tied to Chicago and all the things that have come

1281
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 21: to pass now with the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris,

1282
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 21: it's just it feels right.

1283
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 11: I mean, it's just a synergy that that's with this.

1284
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: I want to acknowledge, mister Mayor. We recently celebrated a

1285
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: holiday out of Montgomery, Alabama. Some of you may refer

1286
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: to it as August tenth or fade in the water.

1287
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 11: But what.

1288
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 4: An honor it is to be sitting with you as

1289
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 4: a new monuments.

1290
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 21: Absolutely absolutely, we talked about symbols, we talked about changing

1291
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:46,479
Speaker 21: the city seal.

1292
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 11: Everything has just been.

1293
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 4: White folding chair.

1294
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 5: I love it.

1295
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 21: I support it that the chair has just taken on

1296
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 21: a life. I mean, you know what, and let me

1297
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 21: say this and the mayor, I can't can relate to this.

1298
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 21: I just left there back to school event. I mean,

1299
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 21: it wasn't thirty minutes.

1300
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 7: Are you get to call.

1301
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 12: Talking about talking about I just left thirty minutes ago.

1302
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 5: He swam across that I was here.

1303
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 11: I'm like, get him on our fire and rescue.

1304
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 4: He used to be emergency show.

1305
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 21: Got him before Alabama and Alren signs him to a

1306
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 21: verbal committment because I'm like, somebody who can swim across

1307
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 21: that river and get up.

1308
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 11: And still do some work.

1309
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 4: Maybe he should have represented us in the Olympics reps. Yes,

1310
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 4: he was the black aquaman. Amazing, amazing.

1311
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 9: Just texted me to say, what's up.

1312
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 5: I've been here.

1313
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 7: I've been here twenty minutes and.

1314
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 11: You know.

1315
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 4: From Andrews.

1316
01:05:58,440 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 8: Let me ask you a question real quick, because this

1317
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 8: is this is what bothers me because we're Florida. Different Florida,

1318
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 8: like three states shut out in one you got like

1319
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 8: which is like at South Alabama until you got the

1320
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 8: middle of it and.

1321
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 9: Then you got like you got the four states.

1322
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 8: But go ahead, But we are in the south. So

1323
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 8: I'm gonna ask you a tough question. What does the

1324
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 8: mayor of Montgomery do next? Oh man, this was in

1325
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 8: South Carolina, Alabama.

1326
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:27,959
Speaker 4: He's the best question.

1327
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 12: As money didn't give the governor.

1328
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 7: We're not We're not about to sit here and be

1329
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 7: a martyr. That's what.

1330
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 8: Home and run against Lady Graham to get beat by

1331
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 8: twenty for Yalla laughing at me.

1332
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 4: You've been breaking barriers a long time. I laugh at you.

1333
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 21: You know, listen, listen, this brother was what was doing

1334
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 21: the way back when the twin two. You're like, who

1335
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 21: the hell's twenty two runnings for state rep?

1336
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 5: Right?

1337
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 11: You know who got those kind of chops more?

1338
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 21: But you know, I think when you're in states like ours,

1339
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 21: where it's Alabama or Louisiana, Arkansas, we all talk about

1340
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 21: that as mayors, like you know, where can you give

1341
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 21: and where can you continue to serve?

1342
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 5: It?

1343
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 21: You know, is a tie coming to US next. Can

1344
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 21: we be the next Georgia? Can we be that next

1345
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 21: purple state? And I mean I think the answer is

1346
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 21: is yet to be seen. What I hope we get

1347
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 21: from this election is we get a movement, not a moment,

1348
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 21: of young people and working class people who really have

1349
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 21: not been voting for their interest in my opinion, in

1350
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 21: parts of the South, to take a look at what

1351
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 21: Vice President has and what Governor wall is really an offering,

1352
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 21: and what my goal is to make sure they see

1353
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 21: the difference when you get beyond the personality, when you

1354
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 21: get beyond just the cult of Trump, and when you

1355
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 21: get beyond all of those things, and you look at

1356
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 21: who's looking out for you and who's really working for

1357
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 21: the people. So hopefully that opens up opportunities, whether that

1358
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 21: be at a statewide, dominatorial level, whether to be at

1359
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 21: a centator's level, or whatever it may be, to take

1360
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 21: a look at Andrew what you did, I mean, and

1361
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 21: to say, okay, this is how we do it.

1362
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 11: But I tell people this all the time who come

1363
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 11: for the civil rights trailer.

1364
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 21: I say, look, you would have no doctor King, you

1365
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 21: would have no Ralph Abernatty without money, without resources.

1366
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 11: So anything you want us to do is.

1367
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 21: Gonna take investment, It's gonna take time. War Knock and

1368
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 21: Abrams and everybody else showed us that in Georgia, you

1369
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 21: got to invest in the South. I mean, we've got

1370
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 21: the We've got the foundation. Mississippi is probably the one

1371
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 21: that's really.

1372
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 12: Got the highest be that your Carolina, be that only twenty.

1373
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 7: Two and it's purple.

1374
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 6: Florida's is thirteen thirteen thirteen percent of the population percent

1375
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 6: of the population of the state is black. And that's

1376
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 6: why I think that South how much is brown unfortunately brown,

1377
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 6: and Florida doesn't necessarily.

1378
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 9: So it's a complicated narrative.

1379
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 5: But we're not.

1380
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 6: We as black elected officials who in many cases aren't

1381
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 6: necessarily representing majority black constituencies, not overwhelming majority of black constituencies,

1382
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 6: have the ability to, I think, reach places and cause

1383
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 6: people to think beyond what they're the recesses of their

1384
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 6: minds are telling them are their biases against us. And

1385
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 6: I think part of the charge Jamal, you do this

1386
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 6: where you are, I know, Bakari Mayor, you have to

1387
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 6: move people beyond what is in what feels a little

1388
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 6: uncomfortable for them so that they can see you in

1389
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 6: your humanity, and that when I make education good for

1390
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 6: my kids, I make it good for yours. When the

1391
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 6: streets are safe for my kids to walk in, play in, so.

1392
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 9: Are they for yours. So the priorities are so different.

1393
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 6: Doctor King tried to help us find common calls with

1394
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 6: each other, across race barriers and even across economic ones,

1395
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 6: to see what we share in common. And I just think,

1396
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 6: as we sit here in Chicago, so many, so many

1397
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 6: people have forgotten these areas of common calls, have thrown

1398
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 6: them to the wind. And I think it's incumbent upon

1399
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 6: us our generation. Are you know this, this generation of

1400
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 6: young people? I think to find a third way that

1401
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 6: leads us back into positions of leadership, not for the

1402
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 6: purposes of us making history and and and climbing new barriers,

1403
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,600
Speaker 6: but for the case of delivering something to people that

1404
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 6: has felt aloof like unachievement.

1405
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 7: There is one There is one.

1406
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,799
Speaker 8: There is one person who hones in on that message

1407
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 8: better than most who I actually put in the same

1408
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 8: category as a Ralph David Abernathy or doctor King or

1409
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 8: Judy Richardson or those people who were talking about the

1410
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 8: same plight that you're talking about, and that's somebody we

1411
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 8: don't acknowledge enough, but that's the Reverend doctor William Barber.

1412
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 9: To try to get in.

1413
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 8: That message of what of what how poverty can really

1414
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 8: really draw some similarities. The funny part is in South

1415
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,759
Speaker 8: Carolina and Denmark, my dad used to tell the story

1416
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 8: about the couple who would go to the grocery store

1417
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 8: on their tractor, and they would ride on their tractor

1418
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 8: and they were they were just dirt poor, but there

1419
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 8: there was some level of comfort they felt in just

1420
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 8: being white, that they still felt as if they were

1421
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,879
Speaker 8: better than you, although they literally rode to the grocery

1422
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 8: store on their tractor. And so I think that in

1423
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,560
Speaker 8: what you know, I knocked on that door when I

1424
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 8: was running for office because the naivete or the youthful exuberance,

1425
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 8: or where those two things meet, had you believing that

1426
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,560
Speaker 8: you could convince somebody, And maybe you do. You never know,

1427
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 8: don't know how people vote, but that you you know

1428
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 8: how their grandparents get healthcare, or how their children get

1429
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 8: their prescription drugs or get educated, or if they can

1430
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 8: make ten dollars an hour, you can meet people where

1431
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 8: they are. And I think that's a message we still

1432
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 8: have to hone in on and it's one that resonates respectfully,

1433
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 8: particularly in the South, because that's what I know.

1434
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 5: I got a question for the mayor. Yeah, is that okay?

1435
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 4: Yes?

1436
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 3: Before and then we know we can't hold y'all too

1437
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 3: long and we have to get to we have another

1438
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 3: guest coming, so we want to make sure that we

1439
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 3: go ahead.

1440
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 19: Yes, So, mister mayor, I've only been in Congress four years,

1441
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 19: almost three and a half years, and I'm very interested

1442
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 19: in the local implementation of federal policy.

1443
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 5: So when we pass a piece of legislation and we.

1444
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 19: Appropriate dollars to local mayors, can you speak a little

1445
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 19: bit about one, how you make decisions in terms of

1446
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 19: how that money is spent and invested Number one, But

1447
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 19: then also speak to the collaboration that's necessary or lack thereof,

1448
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 19: with the county that you're in, with the state that

1449
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 19: you're in.

1450
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 5: Et cetera.

1451
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 19: Correct, right, Because in my district, there's been a lot

1452
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 19: of frustration around Okay, we just allocated X millions or

1453
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 19: billions of dollars, why is it not getting to the

1454
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 19: black and brown folks in my district and the way

1455
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 19: that it needs to.

1456
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 5: Can you speak a.

1457
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 21: Little bit to that yeah, if it's not getting to

1458
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 21: the black and brown folks and the people who need

1459
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 21: it is because you need the leadership that values them,

1460
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 21: and you need the leadership that is prioritizing. And one

1461
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 21: of the things that we highlight about President Biden and

1462
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 21: Vice President Harris is that with the Arbor dollars, they

1463
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 21: came straight to the.

1464
01:12:58,200 --> 01:12:59,759
Speaker 11: County and straight into the cities.

1465
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 21: So a lot of us that are in conservative led states,

1466
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 21: with legislation, we would have never gotten that money to

1467
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 21: community violence intervention programs, hospital intervention programs, education after school programs,

1468
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 21: when you think of small business support, we would have

1469
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 21: never gotten that money directly where it's needed. And we

1470
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 21: had pushback from legislative forces, but the money was coming

1471
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 21: to the county. Even talking with Sylvester Attorney in Houston,

1472
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 21: I was made somebody who had been in the legislature

1473
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,560
Speaker 21: then served as a major city mayor was having the

1474
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 21: trouble he was having in a city like Houston, in

1475
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 21: a county like Harris County, right Texas. But when you

1476
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 21: think about what this administration was allowed us to do.

1477
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 21: It allowed us to have the autonomy and the control

1478
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 21: to prioritize those things in the hood that we knew

1479
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 21: needed to help and needed to support. If it's not

1480
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 21: getting there, it's because those elected officials don't have the

1481
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:56,560
Speaker 21: chops and don't have the medal to stand up and

1482
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 21: say these communities have been left behind far too long.

1483
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 21: They get caught in the bureaucracy and the red tape,

1484
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 21: and then by the time you look at there is

1485
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 21: no tape, so they don't get any help. So what

1486
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 21: we were able to do was to say, you know what,

1487
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 21: we believe in equity. We're gonna be unapologetic in our

1488
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 21: approach to this. We know who suffered the most from COVID,

1489
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,679
Speaker 21: we know who had the hardest impact, who's hit worse.

1490
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 21: So this is what we're gonna do. And I feel

1491
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 21: like as African American mayors in this generation in particular,

1492
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 21: coming on the heels of those that came before us,

1493
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 21: we have a responsibility, We have a debt to make

1494
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 21: sure that we are just as intentional as a Harald

1495
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 21: Washington was many many years ago and others were an

1496
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 21: assistant made of no question and assisting our communities directly

1497
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 21: and making the case you cannot assume or hope or

1498
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 21: wish or pray that that money and those funds are

1499
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 21: gonna be there in some other administration unless you make

1500
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 21: it so. And that's what we have as the chief

1501
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 21: executive officers of cities and communities.

1502
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 3: Yes, we really appreciate all you time today. It has

1503
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 3: been fantastic to be.

1504
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 4: Here with you.

1505
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 1: Can I just say real quick before he goes the

1506
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: This week More House students went back and there was

1507
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: a beautiful image of the incoming freshman standing in the rain.

1508
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: It looks so artistic, and you have the men walking.

1509
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: I gotta feeling and I just want to acknowledge the

1510
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: significance and importance of Morehouse in this country. And having

1511
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: two men the Morehouse on set real cool. We got

1512
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: another guest we broke up.

1513
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 21: Harrison Bryant, Jamal Harrison Brown was my new student leader,

1514
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 21: yes in my year, and he wasn't near as cool

1515
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 21: and near as as charismatic as he seems now. He

1516
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 21: was saying a whole lot different when I came. It

1517
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 21: rain on our heads even worse.

1518
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, mister Mayor and congressman. We appreciate

1519

Speaker 3: guest co host. He has no cues anyway, Tyley talk

1555
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 3: to us about the importance of youth representation at a

1556
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:40,799
Speaker 3: convention like this that is so ground breaking, so historic.

1557
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 4: Tell me what y'all got going on?

1558
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely.

1559
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 23: So I think you know what's exciting about this conference

1560
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 23: is that we talk about the content creators is a new,

1561
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 23: a new, a new route, and so I think meeting

1562
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 23: young people where they are, and I think, you know,

1563
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 23: the Party is leading the way in that effort, whether

1564
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,759
Speaker 23: it's through traditional media or we understand how young fools

1565
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 23: get their information and it's through content creators, just through

1566
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 23: folks that are on TikTok and so I'm excited about

1567
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 23: that aspect of the conference.

1568
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 11: I'm excited.

1569
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 23: The vice president has the energy of young people, you know,

1570
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 23: uh and has been on the she has been leading

1571
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:13,719
Speaker 23: on the issues, and I think, you know, the excitement

1572
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 23: that we have, uh, you know, we're gonna we're gonna

1573
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 23: continue past this, especially as we get back to uh,

1574
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 23: you know, welcome week at schools, as we get into

1575
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 23: you know, homecomings and activities, and we're gonna keep on

1576
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 23: that momentum and continue.

1577
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,759
Speaker 11: To you know, connect with young folks on the ground.

1578
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 15: M H.

1579
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 6: What's the biggest organizing challenge you're facing? You feel with

1580
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 6: young girls right now? What's the we we see we

1581
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:49,799
Speaker 6: all think we're still young and formerly formerly you're accepting,

1582
01:18:51,760 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 6: but Cary will be there twins a little bit.

1583
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 7: Too here, right.

1584
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 9: What's the challenge?

1585
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 6: Tell us what's the biggest challenge y'all feel like you

1586
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 6: have to get over an organizing tip?

1587
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely.

1588
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 23: I think when when when the folks that young people

1589
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 23: get getting their information from social media, we fight a

1590
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 23: big battle of miss and this information and as we

1591
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 23: fight the bots in the comments, we fight all of

1592
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 23: that and so I think it's the fact of being

1593
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 23: able to get real and accurate information to folks, Folks

1594
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 23: to be able to have trusted sources, and folks to

1595
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:36,759
Speaker 23: be able to trust their trusted sources.

1596
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 11: And I think is what we're fighting. We continue to fight.

1597
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 23: But I think, you know, we live in this time

1598
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 23: where voter education and even the basics of what what

1599
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 23: what how the government even operates. As I have conversations

1600
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 23: with folks across the country, some of them don't even

1601
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 23: know the three branches of government. They don't know they

1602
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 23: don't know the power of the vice president. They don't

1603
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,560
Speaker 23: know the fact of the filibuster or the fact that

1604
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 23: the vice president has broke the most tides in the Senate.

1605
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 23: And so I think voter education is really big, is big,

1606
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 23: but we get that done through peer to peer influence.

1607
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 23: And I think that education is the first step, and

1608
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 23: not only connecting with folks that are within the you know,

1609
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 23: like the ecosystem of politics, but also how we connect

1610
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 23: with folks who may not have that interest. And so

1611
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 23: the importance of meeting people at the basketball court, it

1612
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 23: meeting at the brunches and meet them, you know, at

1613
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 23: these different events, whether it's music festivals, and so we

1614
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 23: have that unique perspective.

1615
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 4: But what do you say though when you meet because

1616
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 4: I'm so curious about that.

1617
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: I know when I see young people pop up in

1618
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 1: my feed and just when I overhear what young people

1619
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 1: are talking about who are not interested in politics and

1620
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: don't understand how politics impact them. Some people don't know

1621
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 1: when an election is even happening. What is the thing

1622
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: that you say to compel them to get involved and

1623
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 1: what wasn't that compelled you to get involved?

1624
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely what compelled me to get involved.

1625
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 23: I got involved in this movement when I was about

1626
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 23: thirteen years old under the leadership of Reverend now sharped

1627
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 23: in how are you?

1628
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 11: I'm twenty seven, twenty seven, now twenty six, twenty seven,

1629
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:05,559
Speaker 11: and so no day, it's not a day.

1630
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, her from both she has she's.

1631
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 4: Not doing that. She's not doing that.

1632
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm I'm ignoring these just saying, Kylie, please continue, young

1633
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 1: young man one older than.

1634

Speaker 7: You, better shoot your shots.

1635
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 11: Not you miss every missing.

1636
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 9: Pull up.

1637
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 5: Night night.

1638
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: That is not I'm listening to the only only adult

1639
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: many Please continue.

1640
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 3: That's a great time because AOC just got on the

1641
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 3: stage as well.

1642
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 23: For those of you all at home, Yes, but carry

1643
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 23: on till you look another fire person who continues to aspire.

1644
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 23: There you go, young young people. In addition to Miss

1645
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 23: Tiphany cross everybody loves Miss Crossing. So, like I said,

1646
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 23: I I'm a son, I'm a son of the civil

1647
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 23: rights movement, and so that got me in the work.

1648
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 23: But I think how we meet people is we make

1649
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 23: it real. We make we bring the conversations. Jackson is

1650
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 23: joining us in the middle of the conversations to them,

1651
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 23: and we make it real how it relates to them,

1652
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 23: whether it's you know, like politics is local. And I

1653
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 23: always say, you know, politics isn't the sexiest of conversations,

1654
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 23: but it's like we got to make it relatable of

1655
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 23: how it impacts them, Like we talked about the local roles.

1656
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 11: How the funding from your city council.

1657
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 23: We were talking about as we're talking about schools, and

1658
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 23: the funding is happening at your at your state, at

1659
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 23: your state houses. And so making it real and making

1660
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 23: it relatable is how is how we inaccessible inaccessible.

1661
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: I do want to welcome to the conversation Congressman John Jackson,

1662
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,040

1673
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: significant history this year. Bakari referenced earlier the first presidential

1674
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: campaign I actually remember was your father, Jesse Jackson in

1675
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, and my grandmother took me to a

1676
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 1: rally and someone said, young lady, who are you voting for?

1677
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 4: My grandma said, baby, you telling me you voted for

1678
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 4: Jesse Jackson. And that's what I said.

1679
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 1: And it just that time doesn't seem like that long ago.

1680
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: But here we are forty years later. Yeah, what does

01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:48,240

1696
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:51,280

1697

1698
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 15: congressman from there, it was a tremendous honor. I know,

1699
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,080

Speaker 5: Okay? All right?

1701
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 15: I met Congressman Meeks thirty some years ago when he

1702
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 15: ran as a as a as a delegate and then

1703
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:16,280

1704
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 15: New York and then Angela. It's been some years now

01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 15: that I had met you with your great family in

1706
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 15: the Northwest, and I was like, black folks live out

1707
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 15: here as well.

1708
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: Family's from Louisiana but migrated to the West he was

1709
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: as a surrogate to his dad's campaign in nineteen eighty eight.

1710
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 4: There's a picture when I'm.

1711
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 3: About eight and he's lean over me and kissing me

1712
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 3: on the cheek, and I got on my Jesse Jackson

1713
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 3: eighty eight shirt. We need, we need to.

1714
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 13: Angela her family.

1715
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 15: Thank you for your service and your continued spirit and

1716
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 15: civil rights and Bakari, your father, Cleve is legendary in

1717
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 15: so many ways. I don't know all the people up here,

1718
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 15: but I thank you.

1719
01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 4: For your spirit. He's gonna say, I don't know what

1720
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 4: happened to you. Sorry, I had to get you back.

1721
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 15: When I was at North Carolina, A and T please please,

1722
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 15: Father please, Father would come and sit down and talk

1723
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,640
Speaker 15: with us as students. And so this to me is

1724
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 15: more of a celebration really of civil rights. It's not

1725
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,200
Speaker 15: into the politics. And I know it's a political convention

1726
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 15: and so forth, But forty years later, what does it

1727
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 15: mean my father's real motivation. It was a moral crusade.

1728
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 15: It wasn't a political groups said and by the vehicle.

1729
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 15: It was in empowerment. It wasn't finding a district. It

1730
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 15: was uplifting the entire network. Why would somebody run for

1731
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 15: president that's never ran for a local office. That it

1732
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 15: was about a movement, and out of that movement, it

1733
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 15: was that massive voter registration. And we have to pick

1734
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,719
Speaker 15: that up today. And so in the spirit of Fanny

1735
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 15: lou Hamer sixty four to eighty four was his foundation.

1736
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:52,480
Speaker 15: It wasn't a political move it was massive voter registration participation.

1737
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 15: And I hope that the party picks that language back up,

1738
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 15: massive voter registration. If we vote our numbers in South Carolina,

1739
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,759
Speaker 15: we'll have a the Democratic congressional seat. We'll have another

1740
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 15: one in Louisiana, another one I've got South Carolina. We'll

1741
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 15: have another seat in Tennessee, and a first black to

1742
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 15: have a seat in Arkansas. We still haven't had an

1743
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 15: African American representative in the state of Arkansas.

1744
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,560
Speaker 4: Wow, a black mayor though. Mayor Frank Fresh.

1745
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 8: One of the questions I wanted to ask you, is

1746
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 8: you know Uncle Jesse as we called him in our household,

1747
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 8: because little Jesse used to come over and babysit my

1748
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 8: brother and sister in Greensboro and all of those things.

1749
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 8: In his campaign in eighty four and eighty eight, he

1750
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 8: just cultivated so many souls and personalities that went on

1751
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 8: to do great things. My father was a Southern regional

1752
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 8: field direct and ended up hiring a young lady named

1753
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,640
Speaker 8: Donna Brazil on that race. You have Mignon Moore, you

1754
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 8: have all of these people. Talk about the impact of

1755
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 8: your father on the modern day Democratic Party because just

1756
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 8: a lot of people don't even know that his fingerprints

1757
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 8: are all over everything that we're doing right now.

1758
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 7: That's right.

1759
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 5: Wow.

1760
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 15: So if you look at Mignon Moore on her for

1761
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 15: over forty years. This is my tenth Democratic Convention. Mignon

1762
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 15: Morris from Chicago. She worked in the organization of Rainbow Push.

1763
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 15: She comes out of eighty four. Now she's the chair

1764
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 15: of the Democratic Invention in the state of Illinois. When

1765
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 15: you look at donnal Brazil, she went on to become

1766
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 15: the chair of the Al Gore for President. She came

1767
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 15: out of the eighty eight campaign as well. When you

1768
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 15: look at Dave Dinkins, after the massive voter registration drive,

1769
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 15: he became the first African American mayor of New York City.

1770
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 15: That's true of Doug Wilder, the first African American governor

1771
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 15: out of Virginia, David Wellington, the first African American mayor

1772
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 15: of a non black city, majority white city.

1773
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 5: In Denver, Colorado. And it can go on and on.

1774
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 15: And when I hear President Barack Obama says that he

1775
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 15: was inspired when he was in law school and when

1776
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 15: Vice President Kamala Harris was a student at Howard University,

1777
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 15: she was protesting in nineteen eighty six for free South Africa.

1778
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,680
Speaker 15: And she gives my father credit for her inspiration. And

1779
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 15: I have to give myself. I wouldn't be here today, uh,

1780
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 15: thelone being interested in politics and public office. And I

1781
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:12,560
Speaker 15: wouldn't say politics, but public office us being able to

1782
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 15: assert ourselves in government. Uh, to live off the will

1783
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 15: of our people and our desire.

1784
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:19,960
Speaker 8: What advice you got for this young man senter right

1785
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,440
Speaker 8: here to my right, who is running this youth organization

1786
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 8: in our in our d n C. That is going

1787
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 8: to probably be the reason that Kamala Harris wins this race?

1788
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 8: Young voters, What do you have to say to him

1789
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 8: about organizing those young minds in a way that you

1790
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 8: know so well because you grew up in it.

1791
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 11: I'm a AGGI to.

1792
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 9: I knew there was something brilliant about you, young man.

1793
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 7: He can't get in the morning.

1794
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 12: Uplift.

1795
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 7: We will get you an honor.

1796
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 11: What's amazing.

1797
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 23: I decided to go to North Carolina A and C

1798
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 23: because of Reverend Jesse Jackson. It was you know, like

1799
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 23: I said, I grew up under the leadership of Revenue Sharpton,

1800
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 23: who also grew up under the leadership of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

1801
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,720
Speaker 23: And I'm like, I've always been around the family, and

1802
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 23: I'm like, I visited the campus and the and the

1803
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 23: impact of Reverend Jackson on the campus was like I

1804
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 23: had to come here because I felt the legacy of

1805
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 23: not only as we talk about the Greensboro for the

1806
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,719
Speaker 23: A and T four, but also the legacy of civil

1807
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 23: rights leaders from HBCUs across the land. And I know,

1808
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 23: I know we got fam you over in the corner,

1809
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 23: and yeah, like I would tell you Jackson was my

1810
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:36,680
Speaker 23: inspiration as well.

1811
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 15: I would tell you, be a study, be a student

1812
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,640
Speaker 15: of these organizations, Be a student of the history so

1813
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:44,799
Speaker 15: that you can make your desired impact.

1814
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 13: Make sure that you have the affiliation.

1815
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 15: I'm so honored to see you next to my brother,

1816
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 15: but card, you couldn't learn from anyone greater than that.

1817
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 15: And see you sitting besides Angela, I mean like, surround

1818
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 15: yourself around the people that are already know, that have

1819
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 15: been down there. And this has legacy, not dynasty, not

1820
01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 15: as in something that the whites have where they're passing

1821
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 15: on bequeathing wealth to one another. Legacy. We have to

1822
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:11,679
Speaker 15: be concerned about our names. We have to be concerned

1823
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 15: about passing on history and tradition. So we're in an

1824
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 15: empasy part of our struggle in so many ways. We

1825
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 15: just got an African American History Museum. There's so much

1826
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 15: about a history we still trying to learn and figure out.

1827
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 15: So surround yourself with those that have legacy, whose parents

1828
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 15: have already paid that taught them. There are some things

1829
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 15: that have happened around these two people's kitchen table that

1830
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 15: what's it like growing up in the Northwest suburbs and

1831
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 15: still being an advocate? And guess what, many great whites

1832
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 15: are out there that applaud and support these causes. Once

1833
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:44,800
Speaker 15: they see us moving, they double down. What's it like

1834
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 15: growing up in South Carolina having to get over all

1835
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:50,000
Speaker 15: the issues of Jim Crow. So it's a vast nation,

1836
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:53,920
Speaker 15: a lot of a lot of complexities to the United States.

1837
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,640
Speaker 15: And so I would say continue and I applaud you.

1838
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 15: I am so proud to know at your age that

1839
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,799
Speaker 15: you've had your mind made up. This was the furthest

1840
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 15: thing from my mind being in public office. I went

1841
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:06,680
Speaker 15: to business school and at the law school, I was

1842
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 15: doing private business. And at the age of fifty six,

1843
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 15: this opportunity opened up, and I said, what is the

1844
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 15: highest and best useage your mind time with the days

1845
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 15: that I have left, let me go run for office.

1846
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 15: And if I of course, I was afraid if it

1847
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 15: doesn't work, I failed. But if I don't try, I'll

1848
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 15: certainly fail. So thank god I was giving this opportunity.

1849
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 23: Can I say yes like I wanted to say while

1850
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 23: I'm here at the stage, I'm so grateful for leaders

1851
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 23: like yourself who continue to pour into the next generation

1852
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,839
Speaker 23: and who continue to you know, you know, give inspiration

1853
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 23: like as I always see you all doing the great,

1854
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 23: amazing work that you are doing.

1855
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 11: Your inspiration to many.

1856
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,040
Speaker 23: I remember I say it all the time when I

1857
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 23: went with the family to impact their families and we were,

1858
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,680
Speaker 23: you know, advocating for George Floyd Justice and Policing Act,

1859
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,360
Speaker 23: and we had went to like all the Senators offices,

1860
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:51,560
Speaker 23: and we went to the White House I said, I

1861
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 23: remember when I was following, following around the carry sellers

1862
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 23: around that we was with George Floyd family and others,

1863
01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 23: and so you all, even this all impacts, even the

1864
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 23: small things that that you do. People are watching, young

1865

1874
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 4: I wanted to just take a moment.

1875
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:46,720
Speaker 3: To talk a little bit about what's happened, not just

1876
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 3: what's happening on the stage, but what we've experienced today

1877
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 3: for the viewers at home, you are, this has been

1878
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 3: such a rich, rewarding experience.

1879
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:55,759
Speaker 4: We talked to Legacy.

1880
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:58,759
Speaker 3: We couldn't have done Chicago without the Jackson family.

1881
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:03,719
Speaker 4: We couldn't have done Okay, we couldn't. Bakari's on another planet.

1882
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 11: Chat.

1883
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 4: This is first and last time first love love. But

1884
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,760
Speaker 4: this is look him. He's just in his own word.

1885
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 3: Are you checking back in? Thank you, Thank you, Congressman.

1886
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 3: We're so grateful, thank you. So here's the thing, this

1887
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 3: conversation to me has been rooted in so much history,

1888
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 3: so much legacy, and still packed with so much hope

1889
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 3: for the future. TELI like grounding up this rounding off

1890
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 3: this podcast today was amazing. It's so necessary not just

1891
01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:34,479
Speaker 3: to be like, well, what are the youth saying and

1892
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 3: kind of plopped them in. He's been in this work,

1893
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:39,479
Speaker 3: says since he was thirteen years old. So I do

1894
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 3: think it's important that our podcast started in that very

1895
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 3: same theme that we had we saw on the convention

1896
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 3: stage for the people.

1897
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 4: This podcast has been for the people.

1898
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 3: We talked about an agenda that we were trying to

1899
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 3: feel in fulfilling seventy two, that we were trying to

1900
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 3: fulfill in sixty eight when Fanny lou Amer said.

1901
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 4: I'm tired, sick and tired of being sick and tired.

1902
01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 4: I'm gonna run myself.

1903
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 3: And we heard from folks who have take that responsibility,

1904
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 3: that mantled that torch that Joe Biden is supposed to

1905
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 3: pass to Kamala Harrison Night. We've seen that all on

1906
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 3: this podcast stage tonight, and I just want to say

1907
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 3: I thank y'all.

1908
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 4: I love y'all. This has been great. I want to

1909
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:13,720
Speaker 4: hear from y'all. But that's what was on our to share,

1910
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:15,760
Speaker 4: you know.

1911
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 1: And the thing is, some of some of our guests

1912
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 1: were planned tonight. Some we just saw walking by and

1913
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,800
Speaker 1: we grabbed them. And I think that's one of the

1914
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:26,559
Speaker 1: great things about the convention. One thing that I find

1915
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 1: striking here Andrew Bacari and Angela is the history that

1916
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 1: has been made in Chicago. I remember being here in

1917
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight in Grant Park election night when

1918
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 1: we saw President Barack Obama win the election. He went

1919
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:46,560
Speaker 1: from Senator Obama to President Obama that night, and I

1920
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 1: remember walking.

1921
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 4: Through Grant Park.

1922
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 1: It was November and it was oddly warm that evening.

1923
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 1: It was in the seventies, and it was just a

1924
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 1: spirit in the air. And I remember walking past white

1925
01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,040
Speaker 1: people and they would just randomly say congratulations.

1926
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1927
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 1: But I would always say congratulations to you, yes, because

1928
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 1: right exactly, because we saw change and we will always

1929
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:11,639
Speaker 1: view you know, our leaders, you know, history will judge them.

1930
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:16,240
Speaker 1: But it does feel very reminiscent that we are here again,

1931
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 1: feeling that collective energy, and we see a very different

1932
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris than we did four years ago. She's got

1933
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 1: the wind at her back.

1934
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 4: She is moving with ease.

1935
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 1: I know people are eager to hear specifics about her policies.

1936
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:33,400
Speaker 1: She rolled them out in North Carolina. Her economic policies,

1937
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:36,600
Speaker 1: they were very I thought digestible. There were things that

1938
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 1: made sense to us in our community. Absolutely, and so

1939
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,560
Speaker 1: you know I have said on this podcast before it

1940
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 1: is going to happen, it is written that this is

1941
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:49,560
Speaker 1: something black women and I love my brothers. Y'all know,

1942
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 1: y'all have done your work, and so we've both done

1943
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:54,719
Speaker 1: our work. But I in the spirit of black women

1944
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 1: who have poured so much into this country and who

1945
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot of us felt collectively exhausted and sad and depressed,

1946
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 1: and we are fighting the same battles that our parents

1947
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: and grandparents fought, and it just became a time of

1948
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:12,600
Speaker 1: when will we see the fruits of our labor? And

1949
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 1: I have to say it is time, because we have

1950
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 1: tried for so long to bend this country to our will,

1951
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:21,040
Speaker 1: and we know what happens to things that do not bend,

1952
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: and it is time for us to have new leadership

1953
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,640
Speaker 1: in this country. So I feel that energy here and

1954
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. I feel it too, so excited

1955
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:31,759
Speaker 1: that even Bacari couldn't get.

1956
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 5: Me down.

1957
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:38,719
Speaker 6: Touchy insults, But in a real way, I think tonight

1958
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 6: I'm just sitting in gratitude for the moment that we

1959
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 6: found ourselves, but also for Joe Biden and his legacy. Yes,

1960
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 6: and I'm deliberately focusing on him this evening because this

1961
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 6: is the evening he will bring the message of the party.

1962
01:37:57,560 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 4: Hillary's on the stage, though, I just want to say.

1963
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 7: Well home.

1964
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:07,759
Speaker 1: All white addressing the audience, how you know, possibly, Andrew,

1965
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 1: because you brought this up and I'm curious to hear

1966
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:12,600
Speaker 1: from you and Baccari on this, and of course me

1967
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: and Angelica waym But you said how she must be feeling,

1968
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 1: and I do wonder about that, because she tried to crack.

1969
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 4: That glass ceiling. She has to be feeling every day,

1970
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 4: like I told you.

1971
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:28,240
Speaker 1: So, probably what an expletive Bacari when you said when

1972
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: you lose all, you're out in the wilderness, and she

1973
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 1: was literally out in the wilderness, and you know your

1974
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: spirit broke for her when when the election did not

1975
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: turn in her favorite, and.

1976
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 4: She won the popular vote.

1977
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: On the popular vote, and we've talked about this before,

1978
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:46,280
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand votes out of Detroit were completely discounted.

1979
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 1: She lost Michigan by ten thousand. Had those votes been counted,

1980
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 1: she would have carried Michigan thus won the presidency. So

1981
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,280
Speaker 1: to have to watch someone you know, living out the

1982
01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 1: nightmare that you tried to warn the country about, and

1983
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 1: then to have to watch someone else living out the

1984
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,560
Speaker 1: dream that you for so long have dreamt, I do

1985
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:06,000
Speaker 1: wonder what she must be feeling tonight.

1986
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:08,679
Speaker 9: Yes, I mean I was going to say we could

1987
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 9: we could go and listen.

1988
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 6: I don't think we're gonna hear it from her from

1989
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:25,000
Speaker 6: the stage tonight, because I do think there's probably a

1990
01:39:25,040 --> 01:39:27,600
Speaker 6: septext there that that that we won't get. I have

1991
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 6: to imagine that there's some pride, obviously for the fact

1992
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 6: that even though I didn't have that moment, we may

1993
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:37,880
Speaker 6: be setting up for that moment to be had with

1994
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:40,960
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris in this cycle. I have to imagine that

1995
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 6: there's also you know there I told you so, like

1996
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 6: you just mentioned, and and maybe even hopefully she has

1997
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:55,080
Speaker 6: some pride and the fact that maybe she had to

1998
01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 6: go that way, and that it had to happen the way.

1999
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,360
Speaker 7: I believe. I believe she's in.

2000
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:01,599
Speaker 6: Order for us to experience the moment that we're gonna

2001
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:05,200
Speaker 6: have today the rest of this convention, and I believe November.

2002
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:06,679
Speaker 9: Seven, I believe a great Sorry.

2003
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 4: I just have to tell you all this because I

2004
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:09,799
Speaker 4: feel so shamed.

2005
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 3: I've been so like, I'm listening to the conversation, but

2006
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:15,600
Speaker 3: I've been so distracted about y'all's appearance. I forgot to

2007
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 3: tell y'all the whole show you had on these credentials

2008
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 3: the entire time.

2009
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 4: That's okay, okay, okay, what were you saying?

2010
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 7: She interrupted me to say that.

2011
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I just thought about I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

2012
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 7: I don't know what I was. I was talking about Hillary.

2013
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 9: She she might feel.

2014
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 7: I believe, you guys, I believe.

2015
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:36,360
Speaker 8: I believe one of the things about Hillary Clinton is

2016
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:39,760
Speaker 8: that a lot like we want Joe Biden to be,

2017
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 8: but it's some level of compute, and I believe she

2018
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 8: feels that completeness because it is Kamala Harris. You know,

2019
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:52,120
Speaker 8: four weeks and one day ago, this was a totally

2020
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:55,640
Speaker 8: different convention. It was a different space it was a

2021
01:40:55,720 --> 01:41:00,679
Speaker 8: different feel trajectory, and I'm not sure or that people

2022
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,840
Speaker 8: would have that level of completeness. And I think one

2023
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 8: of the things that Kamala Harris teaches you, more so

2024
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:11,719
Speaker 8: than anything else, is that you have to be prepared

2025
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 8: for that moment, because it's one thing to be thrust

2026
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 8: into that light. It's another thing to be able to

2027
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:23,600
Speaker 8: harness that energy. It's one thing to get that responsibility,

2028
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 8: it's another thing to be able to bear that responsibility's

2029
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:30,679
Speaker 8: and I believe that what you're seeing from Hillary Clinton

2030
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 8: tonight and one of the things you'll see from Joe

2031
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:36,080
Speaker 8: Biden later is this inherent trust that not only do

2032
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 8: I support Kamala Harris, but she got me too, and

2033
01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:44,000
Speaker 8: she and it's that's it. And so because it's in

2034
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 8: good hands, I didn't get there, but we complete real.

2035
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 6: That's real, that's real. Bokari, I believe that too. I

2036
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:54,719
Speaker 6: also think it was really important that what we're getting

2037
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 6: from from him. I think what we will be getting

2038
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 6: from him this evening is permission to the extent that

2039
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:06,760
Speaker 6: there are still those Biden folks who are and I'm

2040
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,680
Speaker 6: a Biden Harris folk up until he made us a

2041
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:14,760
Speaker 6: Harris Walls Clan. But I think he may may create

2042
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 6: a permission structure for those who still may be in

2043
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 6: some set of denial that it's okay to fully embrace

2044
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 6: the change that has happened that's led us to this moment.

2045
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 6: I didn't think it was possible a month ago. But

2046
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 6: we're here and this is where we're going. She is

2047
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 6: going to take us the rest of the way. I've

2048
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:35,600
Speaker 6: done my part and I'm now handing it off. I

2049
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 6: think he did that in naming her the same day

2050
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:39,800
Speaker 6: that he announced his pulling out of the race. And

2051
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 6: I think in very physical form this party, the leadership

2052
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,760
Speaker 6: of this party, the delegates who are here assembled this

2053
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 6: really important and August gathering, this man will be in

2054
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 6: physical form able to pass it on. And I think

2055
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:58,679
Speaker 6: that healing that visual is something necessary for our party.

2056
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, I know you want to go to

2057
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:03,720
Speaker 1: the floor and hear the speeches, but I just want

2058
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 1: to say what a delight it is to have you.

2059
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, I love you guys, I love you guys.

2060
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:12,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.

2061
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:12,720
Speaker 5: No.

2062
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 8: The fact that we've been able to humble each other

2063
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:19,720
Speaker 8: and push each other and pray for each other and

2064
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,760
Speaker 8: and do it all together. And then I get the

2065
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 8: most satisfaction of walking with you all and watching how

2066
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 8: other people respond to you. I think that is one

2067
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 8: of the more amazing experiences when you have peers who

2068
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:37,719
Speaker 8: people want to take a picture with, or a senior

2069
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 8: who wants to hug Andrew, probably because she think is me.

2070
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:47,400
Speaker 6: No shots, nostopstops, no pit stops.

2071
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 4: I really don't.

2072
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 9: Straight these straight the hair straight?

2073
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 5: The hell?

2074
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:57,679
Speaker 4: No picture said tonight, just send him to hell before

2075
01:43:58,160 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 4: I am.

2076
01:43:58,680 --> 01:43:59,280
Speaker 7: I love y'all.

2077
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:02,400
Speaker 12: I'm gonna go Hillary. Yeah, and she got on her suffrages.

2078
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 4: Why yeah, that is yellow.

2079
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 9: That's not yellow as far as I can see, it

2080
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 9: look white.

2081
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:10,840
