- 0:04Speaker 2: Of course, everyone should be focused on it, and it's
- 0:06Speaker 2: going to start immediately after election.
- 0:08Speaker 1: The dreaded word redistricting apparently is still a concern. We'll
- 0:12Speaker 1: tell you why. A popular black political commentator and podcaster
- 0:15Speaker 1: is cautioning against disinformation and... You know how you committed
- 0:19Speaker 1: a crime, you got to get some type of proof
- 0:21Speaker 1: that what is going on, or at least a trespassing,
- 0:24Speaker 1: or at least a warning. Nothing.
- 0:26Speaker 2: happened like that.
- 0:27Speaker 1: The only thing we got was our money back. An
- 0:29Speaker 1: update on that three-year-old soccer player kicked out of a
- 0:32Speaker 1: game because of his exceptional skill in play. But first,
- 0:35Speaker 1: here's BIN News Now.
- 0:37Speaker 3: I'm Brie Wood with BIN News Now. A federal judge
- 0:40Speaker 3: has ruled that Bill Assele has served too long in
- 0:42Speaker 3: his temporary role as U.S. Attorney for Southern California and
- 0:46Speaker 3: ordered him disqualified from overseeing several cases. When asked if
- 0:49Speaker 3: he planned to take the matter to the Supreme Court,
- 0:52Speaker 3: Assele said.
- 0:53Speaker 2: We plan to appeal.
- 0:54Speaker 3: The Trump administration has appealed the decision, putting the ruling
- 0:57Speaker 3: on hold for now. Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon is
- 1:00Speaker 3: facing criticism after declining to directly say whether Cuba is
- 1:04Speaker 3: a dictatorship during a CBS News interview. Nixon, who is black,
- 1:08Speaker 3: later said she believes Cuban Americans who describe Cuba that
- 1:11Speaker 3: way and accused the network of mischaracterizing her comments. And
- 1:15Speaker 3: a Miami judge has granted rapper 50 Cent a temporary
- 1:18Speaker 3: restraining order against social media personality Tia Kemp to protect

- 1:35Speaker 3: with Andrea Coleman.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Thank you, Bree. Since last year, 10 states have redrawn
- 1:40Speaker 1: their congressional maps. Georgia and South Carolina both talked about
- 1:43Speaker 1: doing so, but both states abandoned the idea in the
- 1:46Speaker 1: early stages of discussing it. Now, Democratic insiders are saying
- 1:49Speaker 1: the issue is still on the table and are encouraging
- 1:52Speaker 1: voters to be mindful of what could take place after
- 1:55Speaker 1: the election. Here's what John Bixignano, the president of the
- 1:58Speaker 1: National Democratic Redistricting Committee, said yesterday when appearing on MSNOW.
- 2:02Speaker 2: We are in an inevitable continual cycle until we ban
- 2:06Speaker 2: partisan gerrymandering, which Democrats have endlessly tried to do. We
- 2:09Speaker 2: will continue to try and do. I guarantee if we
- 2:12Speaker 2: are successful in winning back the House, there will be
- 2:14Speaker 2: a bill shortly thereafter that will ban partisan gerrymandering. But
- 2:18Speaker 2: until then, until that time, we all need to be
- 2:20Speaker 2: vigilant in our own states about what's going to happen
- 2:23Speaker 2: immediately after Election Day in January, February, March of next year.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Big Sock Nano says Mississippi and Texas could redraw again
- 2:30Speaker 1: and that Georgia could also be in play. Redistricting is
- 2:33Speaker 1: a major issue on the ballot in Maryland. Voters will
- 2:36Speaker 1: decide this election if the state will engage the process.
- 2:39Speaker 1: If it does, Democrats could benefit. Meanwhile, political commentator Angela
- 2:43Speaker 1: Rye is urging black voters to be aware and mindful
- 2:46Speaker 1: of misinformation on the internet. When appearing on The Griot's
- 2:50Speaker 1: new podcast, Rye said automatic networks have created blackface, electronic
- 2:54Speaker 1: blackface online, and created whole profiles of people when it
- 2:58Speaker 1: was actually a bot on a bot farm. She encourages
- 3:00Speaker 1: online users to be careful and to always check their
- 3:03Speaker 1: sources before trusting information they read. Well, that three-year-old soccer
- 3:08Speaker 1: player whose family was kicked out of a park in
- 3:10Speaker 1: Florida over the weekend because of his exceptional level of
- 3:13Speaker 1: play is headed to Europe. Rap icon Jay-Z is sending
- 3:16Speaker 1: little Nevada Pierre to Spain in December to help him
- 3:19Speaker 1: develop his game even more. Breakfast Club host and podcaster
- 3:23Speaker 1: Lauren LaRosa broke the news yesterday. LaRosa spoke with Martasia Griffin,
- 3:27Speaker 1: Nevada's mother, earlier this week about the incident that she
- 3:30Speaker 1: says devastated her young son. My son's crying.
- 3:34Speaker 2: He was like.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Like, he thought that he did something bad. And he
- 3:39Speaker 1: thought that me and his dad was in trouble.
- 3:42Speaker 2: And he thought, like, maybe I should have never.
- 3:44Speaker 1: He didn't say it like that, but that's what.
- 3:47Speaker 2: He was getting. Like, maybe I should have never did
- 3:49Speaker 2: it like that. Or maybe I should have just.
- 3:51Speaker 3: not scored so many times.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Maybe they would let me play.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It's so sad.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Organizers of a soccer game called police on Griffin and
- 3:58Speaker 1: her family after some parents complained about their children not
- 4:01Speaker 1: being able to play because Little Nevada dominated the game.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Griffin says they were refunded their money and escorted out
- 4:07Speaker 1: of the park. No one was cited in the incident.
