Women Are the Key · The Briefing Room

• 0:08
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Good people, and welcome back to the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: briefing room and brought to you by GMM Getaway's travel consultants,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: helping you make memories with us. You are listening to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the sweet sounds in the back of one George Morgan
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: aka Buddy Love kicking that theme song to the briefing room.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Sounds so good, don't you agree? Let's talk about this
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: next presidential race because everybody's looking for the secret weapon
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and the magic political ingredient. And it's not Tech, it's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: not Ai, it's not the billionaires behind tech. Naw, folks,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you who it is right now.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It is women, and that demographic does not bowl well
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: for one. Jd Vance. I know we did our story
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: on him, and how smooth his takeover is. He is
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: leading from right behind Trump. He's trying to make a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: case for himself. He's going on an apology tour. He's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: trying to make himself more palatable, especially to women. I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: don't think this is gonna work. If you go back
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: through my past shows, I did a show that was
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: entitled The Handmaid's Tail. This could actually happen because this
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: religious zealot like other religious zealots are obsessed with women's bodies.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They're obsessed with women's reproductive systems. When he complained about
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: women not having more babies, don't think for ten seconds
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: he didn't mean that. He did when he talks about
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: his family structure. And I know he's got a woman
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: from India. That's great for him. He's interracially married. That
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: should make him more sensitive. I don't know if it
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: does or not, but I don't want you to be
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: lulled into sleep, into thinking, well, Trump's not going to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: be here and the next candidate is just a little
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: bit better. No, they're going to offer you JD. Vance,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And when they do, I want you to remember everything.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I want you to remember all the reproductive rights issues.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I want you to remember the war on women in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the courts, and I want you to remember just how
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: much these hyper evangelicals like JD. Vance view women in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a subservient role, and how they genuinely believe that they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: have say over what women do with their bodies. Do
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: not forget that these women, all women, are the key
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to this next election, and like always, women are about
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to carry the entire weight of the American democracy on
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: their backs. While the rest of us argue about sports
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and cryptocurrency, they are laser focused. One of my other
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: past shows, I talked about these groups that were, you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: white women for Kamala, trans women for Kamla, all of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: these different groups. Now it didn't work, wink wink, because
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I still am on the fence about the results of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that last election. Trump's always the first one crying They're cheated,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they cheated. How dare they the results for fake news?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Fake news? I still and I know it's a conspiracy theory.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I have to say this out loud because there is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: no proof. Let me be clear, there is no proof
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that Starlink and Elon Musk had anything to do with
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the election. But there is something in my gut that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: won't let go of the idea that would all of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this momentum from women and all of the wars on
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: women in the courts that were leading up to that election.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You can't tell me somewhere along the way that something
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: is afoot, something is a miss, something in that whole
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: situation just doesn't sit well with me. But I'll let
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it go because there's no official evidence and as of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: right now, it is just a conspiracy. But I'm just saying,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: so let's get with these categories. Let's go through the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: reasoning why these women in the United States are still
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the key to this next election. And we got to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: start prime in a pump here, ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen especially,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: we got to start carrying the mantle for women's rights.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: We got to start being allies in the genuine sense
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and not just for election reasons. Listen, I got three daughters.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm all about making sure that women get the respect
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they deserve, that they get the equal opportunities that they deserve.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But now is the time to really lean into that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: because they are going to decide this next election. Make
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: no mistake about it, and let us not make the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: mistake of acting like it as we get two weeks away. Lady,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: by the way, ladies, we need you, We do that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: too much if you need him so bad, and if
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: we need him so bad. And when I say we,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get Trump's ass and his entire
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: crew up off the block. I'm still a Republicrat, but
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I need some Repubblica I can believe in again, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I am short on said Repubblica, and I don't want
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to deal with just the crack, because that ain't good
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: enough either. We got to get this ish together so
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: we can start blending these worlds again and get some
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: actual candidates on both sides of the aisle that look palatable.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And so let's go into this and inspect the evidence.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Shall we.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Segment one the suburban deciders.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the holy grail of modern politics, suburban women. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: let me be clear, suburban white women. You gotta put
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the AH in there, because this is the real deal.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: If you're political strategist, this demographic is you're obsessing. You
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: tracking these folks like an apex predator. You got them
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on every board in your office, you got them on
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: every conversational list you are sending out emails to your team.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: White women are at the epicenter of our attention, the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: battle ground queens. We're talking about counties outside of Philadelphia, Detroit,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and Milwaukee. These voters are the ultimate swing factor. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they aren't fierce and loyal to a party. They're loyal
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to sanity, safety, and consistency. Women don't like chaos. This
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is what's hurting Trump. Women like to know what's coming next.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons they for the most
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: part have better credit than we do. One of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: reasons for the most parts that when it comes to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: leadership in jobs, especially that take a lot of detailed infrastructure,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: infrastructure and jobs that are occupations that are heavily regulated,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: women oftentimes make the better leaders. They are detail oriented,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: they like predictability, which means safety to them, all of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the things. They are the anti Trump air goals, the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: anti Republican Party right now, because let us not let
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: everybody forget, especially these women, that the Trump Party have
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: enabled him to be who he is right now, that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: he would not be running them up the way that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he is were it not for these sick ephants next
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to him, these cowards, these these hangers on, and they're
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: all about power more than people, and they've proven it
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: by their actions and their lack thereof when it comes
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to the Constitution and what's best for America, do not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: let them forget that. And these women are loyal to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that consistency and that safety, and they, of all people
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: will be like, now, wait a minute, you just sat
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: back where everybody everything went to hell in a handbasket,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and you want my vote, Well, I think not, sir.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Let us not forget about that the widening gender gap.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Men are skewing further right, women are skewing further left.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's not just a political divide anymore, folks. It's everything.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner for the foreseeable future. This goes back to JD. Vance.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: This goes back to evangelicals talking about their place of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: manhood in America. Men should be the providers. They should
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: be out there taking care of the bells and providing,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and women should be at home with the children, preparing
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: dinner and apple pies. And June Cleaver. The image of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: June Cleaver is the model for the Republican Party, especially
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Republicans like JD. Vance. And I don't say that in jest.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: If you go back to Leva de Beaver and you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: look at that image of June Cleaver, this I promise you,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this is not hyperbole. If you could dig into JD
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Vance's mind and just search the corners of every ounce
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of that thing, I promise you that this image would
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: be in some golden frame. On the subject of women,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: look at that white woman, got her heels on, she's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: got her pearls, her dress is nicely quaffed, she's got
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: her apron on. She's baking that all American pie. Ward
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: comes home. She looks at him so longingly. Ward, o Ward,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: what did you learn at work today that you can
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: impart to to me and Wally and the beef because
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we need your leadership. So it sounds like I'm being
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: funny or a jackass, but it is the God's honor truth.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: There are so many men that follow Trump, so many
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: men from the JD. Vans camp pra Trump even because
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this is who he is. This has nothing to do
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: with Trump. This image of women, not just their reproductive rights,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: but who these men believe they are. I interviewed on
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: one of my shows in the past. The book was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: called Jesus and John Wayne and it was by doctor
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Christin Dumez. I encourage you to read that book about women,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: white women, especially in this evangelical movement, the way they're
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: viewed and this hyper masculinity, this toxic masculinity is John
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Wayne type Christianity of these Christian men holding their belt
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: buckles and they're telling these women, you're gonna do as
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you're told. This is your role, accept it or move on.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: This is who we are. She breaks that thing down
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: with laser precision in terms of who these men are,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: how they think, and what this looks like for the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: women in their orbit. And she even breaks down the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: psychology behind these women putting up with it, where you've
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: seen a break in that lately, and that is the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: thing that has led to the widening of this gap.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And you've watched men do the opposite, not just men
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of these evangelical groups, men outside of that, men that
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with that. They're starting to lean
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: into this toxic masculinity. And you've got a whole generation
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of young men, especially young white men, who are questioning
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: their role in community and in family. What is my role?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And you've had people come along and feed them this ideology.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You know what your role is?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: This?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And America is leaning too much the other way. They're
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: going left. They've taken men out of their rightful place
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: in their own households, as husbands, as fathers, as providers,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: as leaders. Now what are you gonna do about it?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And there's a whole generation of young white men that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: are like, yeah, I'm with it. You think I'm just
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: clowning on the air right now, do your homework. So
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: this divide is palpable, it's real. I encourage you to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: take a look at it. Look, politicians treat suburban women
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: like there's some mysterious, uncontacted tribe in Amazon. It's not
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that deep. Right now, politicians are courting suburban moms harder
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: than a guy who just realized he forgot his anniversary
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and is standing in the gas station at eleven fifty
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: eight pm looking at a half dead orchid like damn.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe she will appreciate it. That's the role right now
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of politics and women, and I'm guaranteeing you it is
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: going to come to a head.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Let us move on segment two, the heavy hitter candidates.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Now, as I love to say, a hi, this is
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: just where the problem is starting for the Republican Party
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: right now, because we aren't just talking about women from
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: outside the room. Those outside the room are already poised
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to make their voices her via the ballot box. But
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: now let's look into the inside of the room, the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: top of the ticket. We aren't just talking about women
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: as voters anymore. They are the ones holding the microphones
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and running the campaigns as well. Let's look at the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: blue bench on the Democrat side, governors like Gretchen Whitmer,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: who I like a great deal, little miss get ish done,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and it just so happens that she's kind of sexy.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That may sound sexist, but the obvious is not just
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: gonna be missed because it's politically incorrect. Gretchen Whitmer is
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: just a little sexy out here. She's building a massive
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: national profile. She's standing alongside former nominees like Kamala Harris
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: as the party's future heavyweights. Now, how do I feel
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: about Kamala Harris running again? I don't know. And I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: am on the record as saying that Kamala Harris is
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: my political crush. I have an image of Kamala Harris
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in my office actually too, I've got a painting on
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: her with her saying I'm speaking. That's my favorite phrase
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and it's one of my favorite paintings. Also have an
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: image of her as Captain America with that or Captain
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: s America with that tight little Captain America bodysuit on
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with the shield, and I gotta tell you it's one
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of my favorite images of Kamala Harris. But be that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: as it may, is it a good idea for her
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to run again? I don't know. I think she did
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a decent job of making her platform known at the time,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: but this was her achilles heel, and I said this
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: after the fact and not after the fact. If you've
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: been following me, I said this during the flow of
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the campaign where she struggled was making a clean break
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: between herself and President body. That was the sticking point.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why when I did the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on JD. Vance. Although I have no intentions on voter
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: for JD. Vans, as you can hear in this episode,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: even I at least gave him his kudos for the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: fact that he is in a very stealthy, in a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: very sneaky and calculating way, trying to make distance between
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: him and President Trump as he's sitting next to President Trump.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And it is very smooth because you have somebody who's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hyper protective of his ego and is always looking for
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: people that are not loyal to his massive image. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: do not like disloyalty, and still JD. Vance is trying
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. I don't think Kamala Harris had
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that master. She couldn't figure out how to responsibly and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: respectfully throw her boss under the bus because then he
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: had a crisis going on when they were saying he
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: was no longer mentally incompetent. They weren't wrong, they weren't lying.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying about being a republicrat. Nobody
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: just because you're a Democrat, you had no business ride
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that until the wheels fall up door. No, he's fine,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: he's fine. He's not fine. We knew that before the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: voice had started to rise. Somebody from the inside when
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: he said he was going to run again, should have
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: talked him off that ledge. And we did what some
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of Trump's folks did. Well, I won't say we the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Democrats did what some of Trump's folks do. They just
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: let that thing right because they wanted to hold onto
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the power, and they let him run again. I don't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: think anybody from inside that party just grabbed the bull
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: by the horns and said, now, let's just wrestle this
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: thing down. It is what it is. I know he
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: was upset because Kamala had not Kamala Harris, but Hillary
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Clinton made him via you know, President Obama made him
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: wait his turn that first time around, and President to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: think about this if y'all forgot this, when President Obama
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: was done with his two turns, by all intents and purposes.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: That should have been Joe Biden running for president, but
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it was Hillary Clinton and Brock pulled him off to
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the start down. Now, Joe, I know that you've been
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: all lot, but now we've got to think about it
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the party and Tillry's turn. Hiller's been around for quite
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: some time and she's been really good to me. And
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I'm Michelle, and I just think you gotta wait. And
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Joe didn't like that, nor should he have. And Joe
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: was kind of rebelling, like this, dude, how you just
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: gonna sit me on the bench like this? All these
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: years I've been so I've been good to you, Obama.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I've given you my Gravi Taz as a vice president,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and I've given you my my blue collar image and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: all I'm dumb Joe. For goodness, sex has was poppy cock.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It didn't go well. And so when they tried to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: sit him down, and I know the man was old
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and all of that good stuff, Joe remembered that. I'm
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: convinced that even though he was not one hundred percent there,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he was enough there to remember this. No, now they've
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: done this to me once, they've made me sit down,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it's my time, and I'm gonna push forward. Nobody had
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the gravitiz within his party to say nah. So all
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that to say, how do I feel about Kamala Hair's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: running again? I don't think she one hundred percent got
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to prove herself. You saw traces of it though,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and now without that barrier, maybe it is her time.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: We shall see. Let's talk about the heavy hitter candidates
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: on the Red bench. Now over on the Republican side,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: women hold massive populist and traditional power. You've got governors
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Just damn, just damn. I'm having
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a hard time figuring out exactly what I want to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: say about Sarah Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I mean, Sarah Huckaby
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Sanders doesn't necessarily look the part I'm Trump. Sorry, you know,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: but she's a player, and we got to mention it
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: for what it is. Influential voices like Nicki Haley. Nicki Haley,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: she's another one who has the look, gotta keep it
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a thousand and she's a smart one. We shall see
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: how that plays out. And organizational powerhouses like Laura Trump
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: steering the ship. Laura Trump fell into the family and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump has this habit of approving of
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the wives for his sons that he himself wants to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: sleep with, and I'm sure he's trying it behind their backs.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Just saying my personal opinion, not that of the briefing
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: room a lily broadcasting. That is just my personal opinion.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: There's no to me that, by no coincidence, these wives
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of these sons are women that Trump would put in
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: his hair, and I think that has led to the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: rise of Lord Trump. I hate to say it like that,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: but it is what it is, and we got to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: keep it a thousand here on the briefing room. We
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: finally have women dominating both sides of the aisle, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: this is a good thing. This is progress, but let's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: keep it a thousand again. Women entering leadership right now
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it's like being handed the keys to a minivan after
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the engine has already caught fire and the teenagers in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the back are throwing fireworks at each other. The country
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: is completely chaotic, and the guys are basically like, hey,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you want to drive for a bit, honey, my hands
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: are sweaty, and women over here like fine, move over,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: let me fix this before you kill us. All. That's
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the only time men want to give up the wheel
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: is when things are falling apart. And unfortunately it is
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the America that any of these women, if elected, would inherit.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this message from our sponsor,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: because somehow the bills have got to be paid on
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: blacks s Media.

• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Segment three, The Ground Game Warriors.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Is exactly the best tider for these ladies. The Ground
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Game Warriors. We're talking about grassroots mobilization because if you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: think about elections then I went on television debates anymore,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: they're won by the people knocking on doors in the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: pouring rain. And for those of you that have never
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: done it, I've done this for Congressman David Scott, may
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: he rest in peace during his first congressional bid. I've
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: done this for Shirley Franklin when she was first trying
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to become mayor of Atlanta, and she went on to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: do that. I ran county councilman's Andrea Horton's campaign back
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in the day. He's now turned out he was and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: is the first person of color to ever sit on
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: county council. Knocked on a ton of doors for that.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: You'd be surprised when you knock on somebody's door and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: have a face to face organic conversation, even if they
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: think they have they minds made up, their minds made
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: up about a candidate. You can find in roads with
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: just a one to two minute conversation. If you're skilled
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: at what you do, you can even walk up to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: somebody's door who have never heard of a candidate and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: walk away with a yard sign in that yard if
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you know how to spin your your points correctly. That's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: why it's the undecided voter that is now the holy grail.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: It used to be the super voter. I always vote Democrat,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I always vote Republican. Well, with the rise of Trump.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: That is no longer an option. Well, that's no longer
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a guarantee. I say it like that, no longer a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: silver bullet. Nowadays, the undecided voter there are a dime
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a dozen. And when you find one of them at
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the door, even if they voted Republican the last fifty times,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you got a shot. Young female voters. They're the number
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: one target for mobilization. If a campaign can get gen
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Z a millennial women to turn out and high numbers, man,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: it is game over for the opposition. And I guarantee
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that they're operatives that are doing their homework. They know this.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: The backbone of volunteering is what these women are. Look
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: at any campaign office, you look at the phone bank,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: look at local organizing committee. It's overwhelmingly powered by female
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: volunteers doing the actual, unglamorous, unset see grunt work of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: democracy stuff. The men think they're too good for stuff. Men, Well,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I want a leadership role. This is leadership. Calling somebody
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and going to bat for your campaign. That is leadership.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Greeting people at the door when they come to the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: campaign office, that is leadership. Women represent and understand that
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: although they're also leading out front. Two and they're also candidates.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: We're pointing all of that out, But women understand the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: holistic nature of a political campaign, is the point that
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm making. They know it's not just being the candidate
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and the candidates handler. It's not just being being it's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: not just being the person next to the highlight person.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: It's also all these other things. And women are the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: one demographic who will do all of the things that
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: it takes to get this campaign over the finish line.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And politicians understand that. And do you know why campaigns
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: depend on women Because men are terrible at organizing things.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: That may sound sexist, but it's true. If men ran
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: a political campaign, the phone banks would be just three
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: guys eating cod piece of arguing about whether a hot
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: dog is a sandwich, and forgetting to actually call the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: damn voters. Women get ish done. They'll organize a statewide
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: voter drive. They pack healthy lunches for fifty volunteers. They
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: fix the office printer using nothing but a bobby pin
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and sheer will power. Women get ish done. Which is
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: why I don't care if it's a church with the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: pastor if it's the politician, if it's the high power CEO.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Usually there's some women right beside them that know exactly
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: what they're doing, and more often than not, they are
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the reasons why this hot shot pastor politician or CEO
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: looks so damn good because she's running the show next
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: to them or from behind. And that is a common tale.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Politics is the best example of that. And trust me
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: when I tell you that is going to be the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: deciding factor.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: The big why behind the power.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Now I've given you all of that to say this,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: This one question encapsulates the entire episode. Why do women
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: hold all the cards? It comes down to the issues, folks,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: in a post Row landscape, Reproductive autonomy is not just
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a political talking point. This is an electoral earthquake that
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: consistently drives massive female turnout. And this administration has not
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: been friendly on this conversation. And now that has JD
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: advanced by his opinions. This is the one part of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the way Trump has been moving that I'm sure JD's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: been in the background, you know, putting his fingers together
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: like he's some criminal mastermind, like yes, yes, we control
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: those reproductive rights. That is exactly who he is. Don't
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: forget it. The kitchen table economics. That's another reason women
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: are often the primary managers of household budgets. I don't
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: care how much big talk your friends give you over
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the bar, over a beer at the bar. I mean
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: when inflation hits childcare groceries and healthcare premiums, they feel
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: it instantly and vote accordingly. And they're the ones making
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: these decisions at home, These husbands of our making all
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: this big talk to their friends. Man, I wish my
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: wife would. I'm going to buy this, and I don't
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: give a damn what she say. Yeah, go home and
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: try it. Eighty percent of y'all ain't getting away with
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it because you ain't got it like that. The very
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: rich men may have it like that because they bringing
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: home all to bacon. The average nine to five husband,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: whose wife is also out there bringing home the bacon,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: she's keeping the books, Trust me what I tell you. Listen, politicians,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: they keep acting surprised when healthcare and reproductive rights flip elections.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: They're shocked, Wow, we took away a fundamental right, and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: suddenly these women is mad. Why they't so mad?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Yet?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: They't mad? That's how rights work. You can't just take
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: away the buffet and expect people to be happy. With
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the complimentary ment. They want the buffet back. They had choice,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that's what they want. Women are looking at the economy
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and healthcare and saying, we're managing the budget, we're managing
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the family, and now we have to manage your incompetent
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: assts too. That's obvious, and we're willing to do that. No,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: let me take that back. Not just willing, we want
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to do that. And so bottom line, if you want
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to win the wife house, you gotta stop looking at
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the polls and start listening to the women in the room.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: We're talking about your women, not some women out there,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: because you're thinking, well, why my woman's not that smart,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: My woman's not going to figure this out, and blah
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And I'm not trying to be facetious.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: We tend to look at all these other households and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: all these other power women out there, and you look
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: at your wife, even if she's quiet, and you're saying
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to yourself, well, her opinion doesn't matter. She's not the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: one making all the decisions. Oh yes she is. These
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: aggregated voices of everyday moms that are team moms for
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: these coach these kids teams that you coach. They're the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: ones that keep you organized when you're working for yourself
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: or working for the office. They are all around you.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You need to start listening to them. They aren't just
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: participating in the next election, they're running it. And don't
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you ever forget it. Well, folks, it's all I got
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: for you. That's it. It's like the al Pacino speech
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: in any given Sunday, It's the sixth centius in front
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of your face. That's all it was. That's all it
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: ever was. All I'm asking you to do is considerate
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you can take. They got to leave it. But I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: am telling you, if you want to win the White House,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you got to start looking at these women around you.
• 26:07
