• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Now we saw on everywhere that Miss Keisha Lamb's Bottoms
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is running for governor.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I am, that's a big deal.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: It is a really big deal for the challenge. Oh yes,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: of course, I am. You stay ready, you don't have
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: to get ready, ma'am. And I'm not saying that with arrogance.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: It's just there's nothing wrong with being confident that I'm
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: ready for this moment. I'm a battle tested leader. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: was mayor of Atlanta. Before that, I was on the
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: city council. Before that, I was a judge. I have
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: four kids at home and two dogs, so you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: my life is tested in a lot of ways about
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: a lot of things, but just in terms of leadership.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I served in White House senior advisor to the President,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: and I know how serious this is, not just for me,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: but for all of us. You know, it's good to
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: have a nice laugh, because there's a lot not to
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: laugh about right now. It's a lot happening in this
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: country that's hitting people really hard. And I was mayor
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: for three years under the first Trump administration, and this
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Trump two point zero is even more challenging. And I
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: know how important it is to have solid leadership in
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: somebody who can make sound decisions in the mystic chaos
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and make decisions that will make a difference in people's lives.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: So I'm honored to run.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Now, what made you make that decision?
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I woke up in November, the day after the election.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't think that I was going to run. The
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: last four years that I've been out of office haven't
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: been a terrible four years. Four years for me. As
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I mentioned, I had the opportunity to serve in the
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: White House. I've written a book that I just turned
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: into HarperCollins Publishing. Yesterday my last round of edits.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I hope produced.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: The show with Tyler Perry and Terry Vaughan. Also, I've
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: done consulting, and I've traveled. I've done, you know, enjoyable
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: things without.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: A government salary. I'll just say it that way.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: But that being said, I woke up in November going
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: what does this mean for me and my family and
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: my commune and what am I called to do in
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: this moment. I think we all anticipated that it would
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: be challenging, but it's been even more challenging, I think,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: at a faster speed. And for me, it's about leadership
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: and standing up and fighting. That's what I do. And
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I'm honored as a fifth at least a fifth generation
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Georgian to offer myself as a candidate. My family can
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: only be traced back to a plantation in Crawfatville, Georgia.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: That's as far back as we can trace our roots.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: My great great grandparents were enslaved on the plantation in Crawfordville.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: And so I know what the state has to offer.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I know what it has to offer in the worst
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: of times, and I know what it has to offer
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: the best at times.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you said this because you said state. That's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: very important as you're running for governor.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's a state.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And once we get out of Atlanta, it gets a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: little palm colored.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Uh everywhere.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, you're scattered around, but it ain't like
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, South Fulton or you know, the east side
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: East Atlanta.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: It gets a little well, they're not in a lot
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: of places like Southfolk. You know, I say that to
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: somebody who lives in you know, we we are.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: We're in a cocoon. I'll just I'll put it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's the largest population of black people in the southeast
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: region of the country. I believe South Fulton.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I would believe that to be true, just based based
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: on my neighborhood in my community.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I don't dispute that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean it's a great it's a great area.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: It's a great great community.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I love it, been over there for decades at this point.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, Georgia is a very diverse state.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: It's a very it's a heavily populated state.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Growing population.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: We've got a lot of people going through reverse migration,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: where like members of my family, part of the Great Migration,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: moved to places like Detroit and Cleveland and Chicago, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: now their descendants are coming back. So our population is changing. Also,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: our politics are changing.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: We have two.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Democratic senators who are in Washington, d C. Right now,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: so we know that it's possible to send a Democrat
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: into the governor's office. It just hasn't happened yet, but
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: it doesn't mean that it can't happen.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: How hard it is to become a governor, It's hard.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: It takes a lot of money and a lot of work.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, you have to go out. The good thing
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: for me, Thankfully, people still know me across the states,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: so I'm grateful for that. And they still like me
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: across the state, so I'm grateful for that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Now I have to go out and earn their votes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: So if you're in Atlanta, around Atlanta, you may be
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: a little more familiar with me.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: And what I did as mayor.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: But if you are outside of the metro area, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: they may say, oh, we've heard of her, Yeah we
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: liked her. But now that's very different than earning somebody's votes.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: So we kicked off yesterday a tour called Stand Up
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: for Georgia. Kicked it off in Clarkston, Georgia. I'm traveling
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: across the state talking to people. We were with CDC
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: workers yesterday. It was sobering listening to their stories directly
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: because we read about the CDC workers.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Being laid off.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: But what struck me the majority of them who came
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: in were women, which was eye opening, and they said
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: it seemed as if the divisions of the CDC that
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: were heavily populated by minorities and women were the ones
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: who were hit for cuts. And these are women who
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: work on everything from HIV AIDS prevention, which in Georgia
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: we have some of the highest numbers in the country
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: for black women, to a maternal mortality, to accidents, occupational
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: safety diseases, smoking prevention, you name it. The CDC touches
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: it with public health and a lot of their work
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: and the studies that have been done have just been
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: they've been cut with no notice, no plan for a
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: continuation of their work. So it was it was it
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: was very sad to hear their stories, but also very
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: sobering to know what this means for us just globally.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm so happy you're here and talking to us
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: about these things.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Now we have a present for you.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Come on, Royce, a.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Little bit more exclusive one type of all our watches.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: We have a lady or a wi oh wow for
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a new governor to be this is nice and these
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: watches are luxurious but afford you know, so.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Looking at you all watching and I was going to
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: ask you who those are bonds like a but it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: really nice.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: That's yours.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you, just a little fancier than my Apple
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: watch that I have on here.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And we're gonna play a little game. Now. We know
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you're happily married, right, So if if your husband was
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: just a.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Happen to look at this clip, what is something you'll
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: tell him right now in a flirtatious way?
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: What would I tell him? First of all?
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: He laughs at my sexy look. He's like, what kind
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: of look is that? I'm like, that's my sexy look.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: He's like, okay, well, don't do that. So if I
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: said something flirty and my sexy look, he probably say,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: you're scaring me.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: All right, Well let's flip it over to it's not
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: time for you got me f up. Some things that
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: get on Keisland's bottom.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Nerves rude people.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: If you hold the door for somebody and they don't
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: say thank you, or if you let somebody in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: traffic and they don't just throw up the hand the
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: acknowledge that you did it, that that really irritates me.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Well traffic, yes, traffic does irritate me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's a lot of more people moving
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: to Georgia.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: That's why we need a governor who's going to be
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: able to do something about that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: What would you do about the traffic if when you
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: become governor.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: I think expansion of mass transit is important. When Marta
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: was built, it was only built in a couple of counties.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: It was not thoughtfully planned. There were a lot of
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: reasons that it didn't go into other accounting. Some of
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: it was racial, and then at some point funding became challenging.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: We've got to be make it easier for people to
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: be more connected without getting in their cars. And then
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: there are exchanges on the interstate. You think about the
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: bottleneck going from two to eighty five to twenty going
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: towards six flags twenty west. If you think about the
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: bottleneck going around the Grady Curve like, that's an infrastructure issue.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: So we've got to be able to get the funding
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: in place to improve some of those bottlenecks to help
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: release some of the five.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Minutes right there when you when you get off, thirty
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: minutes matter.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: What coming from twenty to seventy five eighty five. And
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: because I'm coming from the south side, I can tell
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: you it's even worse on weekends because everybody is coming
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: in and don't let it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Be a soccer game, a Hawks game, or if it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: if it's a fast game, it's it's gridlock.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: And thankfully I know my way around here because you've
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: been here just about Yeah, I know how to cut
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: through neighborhoods and and.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: All of that because tell them.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Shortcuse I know a couple of time.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, now, one time for the Faith Project that is
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Keisha on the other side that came in and told
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you how she sponsored the segments called the mental Health
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Check in Miss Keisha Land's bottom keep her mental health Strong.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I talked to my therapists at least once a month,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: and I am very grateful to have her in my life.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Her name is doctor Rosa Turner Ash. She is incredible.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: She has helped me unpack so many things and connect
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: so many dots on childhood trauma and things that I've
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: done as an adult and how I think about things.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: And one of the one of the most impactful things
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: that she said to me, and this was after I
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: left the mayor's office. She said, you were a strong mayor,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: she said, but I want you to be a powerful governor.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: She said.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Strong black women pushed through and they have heart attacks,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: they have high blood pressure, they have strokes, and they die.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: She said, powerful women stop, they learned the lesson, and
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: then and only then do they move on.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I received that, yep.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: Now what about what about the potholes and all the stuff.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: What we gonna do about Andre? We can't talk to
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Andre about that.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: No, I'm talking. No, we talked, We talked to Andre.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: But I'm talking about this for Joja because Atlanta ain't
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: the only place in Georgia that got potholes.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: No, you're you're right, and I'm very proud of say
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: we filled thousands of potholes while I was mayor part
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: of it. You got to call it in. So City
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: of Atlanta had a number that you could call in.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Call in your pots.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Got start calling them in.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: You can't just say it's on p Street Street. You
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: give your nearest location. I can't speak to what the
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: current administration is doing, but our policy was that we
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: would try and fill that pothole. I think it was
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: within seventy two hours. That's a great policy.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: To have statewide.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: It's all about delivering for people.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: What do people care about?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And you mentioned Georgia being different, you're right, but we
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: all want the same things. We want our communities to
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: be safe. We want our kids to have great schools
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: to go to. We want to have well paying jobs.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: We want access to healthcare like that transcends political party
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: affiliation and race and community. Everybody wants that. And you
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: don't want potholes, you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Don't want pa hosts.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Now, a lot of people don't understand how important it
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: is to support the right governor because people just think
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: about the president. But people don't understand the governor is
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: the president of the state that you live in.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll tell you with that big, ugly bill
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: that just came out of Washington d C. There are
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: significant cuts that are happening in the state. So I
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: mentioned meeting with the CDC member's employees yesterday. Eighty percent
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: of their money goes out into counties and into the
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: state for public health.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: So if we're not getting that money.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: And that support from the federal government, your governor's making
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: decisions on where and how those gaps are going to
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: be filled. And as we're looking at whether it's our
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: inability to our unwillingness to expand Medicaid.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Before this bill, we had three.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Hundred thousand people who didn't have health insurance because we're
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: one of nine states that won't expand Medicaid, leaving over
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: seven hundred million dollars on the table, and the bill
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: has made it even worse. The governor can help drive
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: policies like that through the legislature. So the governor has
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: the ability to make our lives better and make our
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: lives worse. And as we're dealing with all of the
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: uncertainty out of Washington d c it's going to be
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: even more important to have a governor who's making sound decisions.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Before we let you go.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Is Georgia gonna be one of the last state to
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: legalize we marijuana?
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I think now that there is you can look at
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: other states, other states and make the case that legalizing
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: marijuana is not as frightening and shouldn't be as big
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: of a hot button is you as it has been.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: So you know, in the city of Atlanta, marijuana less
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: than an ounce. You know, we talked about decriminalists, decriminalization.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: You now have places in Georgia that are able to
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: medically dispense marijuana. So Georgia is getting there. But you
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: can look at other states who've done it, and you
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: can see what does this mean for the agricultural industry
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: and business, which is our number one business in the state.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: What does this mean for people who need it to
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: access medical care? Have their crime rates gone up? And
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: you know, all these things that people say concerned them
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: about legalizing that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't see how the crime break can go
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: up with somebody smoking weed.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: You would think they'd be much more mellow. But I
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: mean my point.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Being, you now have data to say, hey, marijuana's been.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Legalized in I think Colorado and.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: California, California and New York, and you see things haven't.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: New York out of all places, was interesting.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: That is interesting, and that that's interesting for a number
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: of reasons. Yeah, in many ways, New York can be
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: very conservative in many ways.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of people A lot of people don't don't
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: know that either.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: A lot of people think that that the state of
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: New York is trending republican.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's true or not, but.
• 19:25

  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I people don't understand what it was

• 21:58
  Speaker 4: your city and how what he would say, how disruptive
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: he would be. And that being said, it was stressful.
