What’s at Stake? EVERY THING Guests: Angie Nixon, Mayor Lawson of Riviera Beach, Former councilmen Reggie Leon · TMI

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Tameka D. Mallory.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: And it's your boy, Myson the General.
• 0:03
  Speaker 3: We are your host of TMI.
• 0:05
  Speaker 4: Tameka and Myson's information, truth, motivation, and inspiration.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: New name, new energy, but.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Same old us.
• 0:14
  Speaker 5: All right, Myson, so... What's at stake? What's at stake?
• 0:17
  Speaker 5: What's at stake? We have made it to Florida.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: And, you know, being on the ground here for the
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: last few days, it really has crystallized why it was
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: so important for us to do this show and to
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: focus for the last several weeks on what's at stake
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: in the midterm elections. And as I have been speaking
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: in multiple places across the South Florida, Riviera Beach and
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: other areas, Palm Beach area of Florida. What we have
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: really found is that people are motivated. They are excited
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: and they're connecting this election directly to their everyday lives.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Sometimes elections become sort of like an abstract thing that
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: you just know you're supposed to do it. But this
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: particular midterm time is very, very, very focused for folks
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: on their day to day, how they're eating, how they're surviving,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: how they're.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Taking care of themselves, their families. And even their neighbors.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And so I've been happy that we're not going into
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: places having to convince people that they need to vote. Really,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: it's more so, I think, in this particular area in
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Florida about ensuring that folks help get other people out.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: They are like, yeah, I voted, but this is bigger
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: than just you and your one vote. And, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and I think we're doing a good job of, you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: of making that happen and having those conversations with folks.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: So I don't know about you, but I'm.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Definitely feeling excited about record turnout that people are going
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: to show up and they're going to organize their communities
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to get out to vote as well.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm absolutely excited.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: You know, just the groundswell and the energy on the
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: ground for me has just been enormous. You know, watching
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: these campaigns and just understanding how a lot of our
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: people have felt like their votes haven't been counted for
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: a long time. I just don't get that sentiment now.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I think that people understand the seriousness of the times
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: we're in, especially here in Florida. As we move around
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: and we speak to a lot of people, they seem
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: like they really are gravitating.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: To the energy and they realize what time it is.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Like you said, you've been speaking, you've been to some churches,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: and a lot of your messaging has been resonating with them.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Not just you, not just your vote is going to count,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: is going to take. You bringing 10 and 15 of
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: your friends. And I think that's what we all understand.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: You know, before I left New York City, I went
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: out and voted. You know, we had our national Black
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Men Vote Day. on October 24th and made my vote count.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: And I've seen a lot of energy there. A lot
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: of people just realized the times we're in. So I'm excited.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: We know we still got work to do.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: There's still seven more days to the election. But what
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: we've seen the past three days has given me a
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: lot of energy to keep on going.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: You know, I think that, you know, as we are
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: here in Florida, our organization is here just doing general GOTV,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: get out the vote work and just making sure that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: people know where to go, what to do. And they
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: feel encouraged to get to the polls. But personally, personally,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: we support Angie Nixon and we happen to go to
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a rally where she was yesterday.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: And we asked Angie, what's at stake?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: In fact, we have some footage of that conversation right
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: before she spoke at the rally. After I spoke, we
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: asked her, what's at stake? And she talked about just
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: everyday lives. She talked about health care. She talked about
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the cost being just too high for all the things.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: And then when she spoke on stage.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: She got into the corruption, the corruption of her opponent,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Ashley Moody, who, you know, I mean, the list goes
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: on and on. I actually watched Ashley Moody at a
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Trump rally talk about the importance of taking care of
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the bosses of the corporations.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: I mean... That is a hell of a message.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: And the people at the rally were shaking their head like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But you know what I think we should do, Tamika?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I think we should actually go to our answer when
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: you ask her what's her stick and then get a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: little bit of footage of her while she's on stage
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: so the people can see and hear for themselves.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. So we'll do that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And then we talk to other people and we'll put
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: some of that in here as well. We're just bringing
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you live what's happening on the ground here in Florida.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: And again, folks are really connecting this to their everyday lives.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I appreciated listening to Angie talk about the end to
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: dropping bombs on children, but giving children health care.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Like that's the connection. That's the thing that people want
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: to hear. And I believe that she's going to be
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a resounding force. But it's not just Angie. Folks who
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: are in states across the country, you need to know
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: this is not a joke. This is this is a
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: global election. It is not just a national election. What
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: happens in this country, and of course, Florida being ground
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: zero and there are other states, what happens here in
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: America is impacting people.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: All over the world.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Costs are high in other places because of what's happening
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: in the US.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: This is a very, very significant and serious election.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on, but a birdie told
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: me that in Michigan, Black folks are.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Too high of a number supporting Mike Rogers.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I don't understand it. I'm really confused about how we
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: with the MAGA man and then complaining about the MAGA policies.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So I'm hoping that it's just that, you know, folks
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: went out early. Maybe they had some kind of organizing
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that they did with the pro-Trumpers and the pro-MAGA people.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: And so the Black folks that supported that, they went
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: out and then the rest of the Black folks are waiting.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: till election day or closer, maybe the weekend. I'm praying
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that that's what's happening. The thing in Michigan that people
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: need to know is that you can register and vote
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in the same day.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: You can register and vote in the same day.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: So if we know that the number is a little
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: bit imbalanced and too high for the MAGA man, then
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: we need to be registering anybody that we can who
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: is able to vote and getting them to the polls
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: so that we can balance the number out.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: We cannot lose. Abdul El-Sayed cannot lose.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Because just so people understand, this is not a new
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: seat that he's trying to win. He is trying to
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: hold the Democratic seat that already exists in Michigan.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: So he can't lose. There's no option here.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: The balance of power, it just has to be that
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: he has to win.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: So you might not like what we talk about on
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: the show all the time, and we'll be done with
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: this here. You might not like all of his policies.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And there's probably some conversations that really need to happen
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: because people are feeling a way.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: About a lot of things.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: This show, we are going to get into the relationship
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: between Black and Arab communities because I can see that
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: there is a rift, there's tension. It's justifiable for many
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: years of things that have happened that has never been addressed.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: But we're all finding out that we're in the same
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: boat together. And so we don't have time to fix
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: it all in this moment. But what we know is
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: that the magamania is dangerous and.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: They're literally killing us. Like literally, we are dying.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And so we don't have a choice but to make
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: sure that we send this man to the Senate. We
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: need to make sure that a sister like Angie Nixon
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: is elected. And then there are races everywhere. Charles Booker
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: in Kentucky. Do not forget about Kentucky, folks.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Y'all follow.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Y'all listen to us in Kentucky. This is a serious time.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: It's a serious matter. So as you said, check out
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: some of the audio and the videos of the people,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: the rally, the energy is there.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: The wind is in our backs. We just have to
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: seize the moment.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And we definitely do. You know, I definitely understand how important.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: All of these races are. We talk about Michigan. Like
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: you said, we can't ignore that there are disputes between
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: the Black and Arab communities, but we have to understand
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: that we struggle together in a part. And the disputes
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: that we have between our communities are nothing compared to
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: the disputes that we have with MAGA. You know, we don't,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: we don't allow this bag on anything at all. We
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: might have different cultures inside of with, you know, with
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Arabs and Blacks, but we all want the same thing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: We all want justice. We all want equity. We all
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: want health care. We all want to have livable wages.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Those are things that we all agree on. Don't let
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: the things, the one or two things that we disagree on,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: you know, make us divide in a time that we
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: support the person that we don't agree on nothing.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: With that being said, you closed, but I just want
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: to say that our favorite Arab.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Our favorite Arab person.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: The Linda Sarsour.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: My sister.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Love our sister.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And we got to say happy birthday to our co-founder,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Until Freedom, Angelo Pinto, who is getting old with us.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: We all getting old. Do you know Angelo's 44 years old? Oh,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: my God.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: 44.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Come on, baby. 44. 44.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: 444.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Happy birthday, Angela. We love you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: People's livelihoods i mean our net worth is the gap
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: between black folks and white folks as far.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: As net worth is continuing to grow people's lives because
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: health care is being.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: The country's history under this administration.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: It's just, yeah, people's lives.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And so I have been traveling.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: I've had the opportunity to travel all across the great
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: state of Florida, having conversations. I can't even say with
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: tens of thousands of people anymore, but with millions of
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: people all across this state, having conversations with people like
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: the young woman in Lauderdale Lakes, who who told me
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: that she was diagnosed a few years ago with breast cancer,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: with stage three breast cancer. And the government stepped in
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: and they allowed her to gain access to Medicaid. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: so she was going into remission and she had to
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: go out on disability and she was on social security
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: and they were paying for her food stamps and everything
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: like that. But then that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Big BS bill came into play.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: And this administration came in and instead of her stage
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: three breast cancer fully going into remission, it now became
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: stage four because they started denying her some of the
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: life-saving medical treatment that she needed. They started denying her
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: some of the prescription drugs that she needed. And then
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: on top of that, they cut her food stamps knowing
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: good and well that she cannot go to work in
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: the current state that she's in. And so I tell y'all,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: that this election has dire consequences if we don't get
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: out to vote. It is a life or death situation
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: because people like Ashley Moody.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Let me, let me, okay, I'm sorry. I messed up.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I messed up. Hold on. People like lying, cheating, scheming, scamming,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: seeing Ashley Moody.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: People like Ashley Mooney decided to vote to offer up
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: the largest Medicaid cut in history.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: There are literally people who are going to die because
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump wanted to give the ultra wealthy.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Billionaires and ultra wealthy millionaires who are now trying to
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: become trillionaires the opportunity to get.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: A massive tax break. It is all a scam. It
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: is the largest grip that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: We have ever seen in our modern day history. And
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: I just don't understand for the life of me why it's.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Okay for people like Ashley Moody to work less and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: less and less and get richer.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: But meanwhile, we're working harder than ever and still struggling
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: just to get by.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, this.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Woman is literally trading stocks and has enriched herself by
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: the tune of $ 2 million since she's been a U.S.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Senator. An unelected U.S. Senator.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Because I want to remind y'all that the only reason
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: that she is.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Now a U.S. Senator is because she stole $ 10 million
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: from sick kids.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: She stole $ 10 million from sick kids.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And they used that money to take.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: It away from the Medicaid program to divert it and
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: put it into two political slush funds to defeat two
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: citizen-led ballot initiatives.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: One of which would have allowed women the right to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: choose what.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: To do with their bodies without political interference. And the
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: other would have called for recreational marijuana.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Of which.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we would have had the opportunity to.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Have another funding source for public education. Right now in
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: this moment, the point of this administration is cruelty.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Cruelty is the point. They are literally allowing people to.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: Die because they don't have enough money to go see
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: a doctor.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: They say it's radical.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: And extreme for me to want to have everyone to
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: have access.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: To quality health care. They say it's radical and extreme.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Because I want to make sure that everyone has a
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: roof over their head. They're saying it's radical and extreme
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: because I.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Want to make sure that our teachers get a raise
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and we have fully funded public education.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: There's nothing radical or extreme about that. What is radical
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: and extreme is the fact that they're.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Spending a billion dollars on a ballroom y'all ain't never
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: gonna get to dance in. What's radical and extreme.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Is the fact that they're spending billions, billions of dollars
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: on a war that is only making Donald.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Trump's son-in-law richer.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: What's radical and extreme is the fact that they are
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: defunding public schools so that they can usher our children
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: into the school to prison pipeline to make more money
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: off of them being in these for-profit prisons so that
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: they can cause them to go to work without getting paid.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: It sounds like modern day slavery to me. It's shameful. See,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: this is.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Not about Republicans versus Democrats versus progressives or moderate or
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: DSA members. This is about the rich at the top
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: who are trying to completely decimate and wipe out the
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: entire middle class.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They want us stressed out. They want us struggling.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: They want us fighting amongst each other because it keeps
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: our eyes.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Off of the fact that they are literally screwing us.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: They're screwing us all. Seriously. Somebody say it not in
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a good way. Oh, my God. Seriously. I mean, I just,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the gas prices. They too high. The cost of rent.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: In this state, over 15% the national average.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Over 15% the national average. The cost... People... Yeah, HOA.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't live in HOA. Y'all can have it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: The average age of people to purchase their first home
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: is now between the ages.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Of 40 and 42.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Me and my husband, we have five kids.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: We have a beautiful blended family.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: At a minimum, y'all should vote for me because y'all
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: know I don't want to keep my children in the
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: house until they're 40 or 42.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: So y'all know.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go up there and fight hard to
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: make sure... We have affordable housing so them five kids
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: can get up off my house.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Seriously. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Look, y'all, it doesn't have to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: be this way. It does not have to be this way.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: I believe that hardworking everyday people should get to shape
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: what our communities look like and what our economies look like.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: Can you all imagine if regular everyday people got to Washington, D.C.,
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: the type of policies that would come out. I was
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: a single mom for 12 years. I know what it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: like to struggle. I know what it's like to have
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: to make a decision about whether or not I go
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: buy this albuterol pump and this EpiPen.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Because, see, my daughter is allergic to everything. Almost life. Dogs, cats, shellfish, peanuts.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: All fish, outside, life, everything. But no, we're serious.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: I know what it's like to have to choose between
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: whether or not I'm gonna spend $ 100 on this EpiPen
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: or I'm gonna save that money and just try to
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: navigate and make sure she doesn't get into anything or
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: if I'm gonna have enough money to put food on
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: the table.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And allow her to go on a field trip. Y'all
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: better vote for me. Y'all heard her. But listen, y'all.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: Those are decisions that people have to make each and
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: every day of the week.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: But it shouldn't be that way.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: I believe if we started electing people that were like teachers,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: we would have a fully funded public school system and
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: academic freedom.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I believe if we started electing people.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: That were parents and sending them to Washington, D.C., we
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: would have things like universal childcare, which is something I
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: support because I realize that for every dollar we spend,
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: we put.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: $ 3 back into the economy when in terms of universal
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: child care because it frees parents up and allows them
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to be able to go to work and.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Get more disposable income so that they can spend with
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: more small business owners and it allows the grandparents to
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: be able to relax and kick up their feet and
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: drink margaritas because we don't have to drop them off
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: all the time but let me be clear y'all need
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: to keep them kids at least once a week and
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: one weekend after month Seriously, they.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Keep you so young. They keep you so young.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: If we had hardworking everyday people that we sent to Washington, D.C.,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: who pushed back and wanted to end the culture of corruption,
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: I'm sure they would release things like the Epstein file
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: and hold people accountable for if they were in it
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: and they.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Did anything wrong.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Y'all know Ashley Mooney around here talking about how I'm
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: trying to defund the police and abolish, abolish prisons. Why
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: would I want to do that when I want her
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: in jail for stealing $ 10 million.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: For 15? I mean, honestly. Like, seriously.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying. And then, like, I mean, it doesn't
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: have to be this way, y'all.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It does not have to be this way. We can
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: have nice things.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: We can have a fully solvent social security system. Oh,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: y'all don't.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Want social security?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Let me say that again.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: We can have a fully solvent social security system. So
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: that seniors don't have to go back to work. We
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: can scrap the cap and make the billionaires pay what
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: they owe. Did y'all know that billionaires stopped paying into
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: the Social Security system the first few hours of the year?
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: They need to pay what they owe. Speaking of paying
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: what they owe.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Everybody deserves a living wage.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: Did y'all know that the federal minimum wage.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Is $ 7. 25 an hour? It's shameful.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: And though we went up to $ 15 an hour recently,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: one of my colleagues in the state legislature is.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Trying to change that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: One of them said paying people $ 15 an hour.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Is destroying the American dream. That's what they think about it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: But on November 3rd, we gonna change all this.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: On November 3rd, we are going to elect people who
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: believe that hardworking everyday people should shape what our communities
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: look like and what our economies look like. We're going
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: to start electing people who are going to make sure
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: that everyone who works hard in this country can afford
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: to live in this country. We are going to make
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: sure that we stop sending money to drop bombs on
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: babies and instead we spend money over here to ensure
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: we are addressing the issues when it comes to infant
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: mortality and black maternal health care.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Those are the things that matter.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Did y'all know that like they're scared y'all?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: They're scared.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: If they weren't scared, they wouldn't be spending over $.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: 15 million lying on me on campaign commercials.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: If they weren't scared, they wouldn't be lying on me
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: on these campaign commercials and digging.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Up all kind of stuff. Talking about my husband, my
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: husband own a mechanic shop and we ain't paying no bit.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: First of all, I wish he owned a mechanic shop
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: because maybe my.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Car would look a lot better than what they look
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: like right now.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: But listen, y'all, they are afraid of regular everyday people
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: deciding what happens in this country.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But this is our country, too. We should get to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: decide what we want this country to be.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Every time we have been faced with oppression in this country,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: we have matched it with resistance.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: At the very founding of this country, we were faced
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: with oppression. Let me back up. Even though we are
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: on stolen land.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: But the very founding of this country, that oppression, we.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Matched with resistance.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: It was taxation without representation, and we threw tea into
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: a harbor.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: When my family was.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: Enslaved, that oppression was matched with resistance.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And it led to the Civil War.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: When children were dying in factories and people were losing
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: their limbs, that oppression was matched with resistance and the
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: labor movement was born. And it got us 40-hour work
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: weeks and child labor laws and workplace protections.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: When my.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: People couldn't eat at the same lunch counters, couldn't vote,
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: That oppression was matched with resistance and the civil rights
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: movement was born.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Women's rights. Disability rights.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: When those people had to crawl on the Capitol steps
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: to demand that people living with disabilities were treated with
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: dignity and respect.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Oppression that we matched with resistance. Stonewall. When they threw
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a shoe.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Right now, we are being oppressed whether or not you
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: want to believe it or not. We are literally in
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: a civil rights, a human rights moment right now. You
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: all need to decide what you want your legacies to be.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: What do you.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Want your grandkids and your great grandkids to say about
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: how you showed up in this moment?
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Are they going to say that you.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Just let whatever happened to you happen.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: Are they going to say that you said, you know,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: I don't do politics. But politics doing y'all. It's doing
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: us at the gas pump. It's doing us in the
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: grocery store. It's doing us in our Fashion Nova and
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Sheen cart. Because everything is going up and they put
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: working family taxes on us in the form of terror.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Or are they going to say that you locked on
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: and you were not passive allies but willful accomplices in
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: this fight for the justice and liberation of our people.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Because right now we are in a battle for the soul.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And humanity of our country.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: Right now they are returning us back to the worst
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: chapters of our history. Right now, we are dealing with
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: a man that is over the Department of Defense that
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: he renamed the Department of War because they made more
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: money when we sent our troops overseas for war and
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: that man wanted to live stream in execution.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: They wanted to live stream in execution.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: It sounds like lynching pigments to me. Returning us back
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: to the worst chapters of our history.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But that's why we have to get to work.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: I love my forever first lady Michelle Obama.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: But I know she said when they go low, we
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: go high. I'm saying... I didn't say that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: I didn't say that. I'm saying when they go low,
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: we get loud. And we organize harder and stronger. And
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: we mobilize and we take it to the street.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And we hit them where they money is. We look into.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Doing mass boycotts and mass strikes if have to. When
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: we organized recently and pushed back against them wanting to
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: live stream their execution, Donald Trump said, oh no, I
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: don't want that smoke.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: And he stopped it. He said it's not happening.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: That's what happens when the people get organized. And so
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: right now in this moment, I am telling you, it
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: is not just about voting.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: It's voting and.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: It's voting and holding these elected officials accountable, even if they.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Look like me.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: It's voting and holding the elected officials accountable, even if
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: they're Democrats like me. It's voting and demanding that they
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: pass a people's budget.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: That you all want to see.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: You should get to decide what you want.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Your taxpayer dollars. spent on.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: It's voting and making sure that they pass a people's agenda.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: Because you all should decide the types of policies that
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: you want to.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: See be put into place. Y'all need to start demanding that.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: That's what we should do.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Don't let politicians come into your neighborhood and say, hey,
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: I'm going to do this for you.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: You should know this is what I want you to
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: do for us.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: We work for you. You all are our bosses. That's
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: how this should work. Do y'all understand? That's what organizing is.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: I need y'all to sign up. It's great we're out here.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: But it would be even greater if each one of
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: you all knocked the door if you could.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Knocked several doors. This is Team Angie. Before you leave,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you need.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: To sign up for a shift. We need you all
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: to sign up for a shift. We don't want to
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: wake up on November 4th and say, shoulda.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Woulda, coulda.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: We don't want to wake up on November 4th and say, shoulda, woulda, coulda.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: We also need your time, your talent. So we need,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: I just said we need your time.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Doors, phone calls, texting, showing up at events, acting as
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a surrogate, passing out licks. We need your talent. Whatever
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: you're good at, bring it to the campaign. There's a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: woman by the name of Ms. Laura Sue. She sings
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: songs and plays her ukulele when we have different events.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: That's her talent that she brings to the campaign. Whatever
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you're good at, we need it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: And finally, in Cindy Marsh's collard greens.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: She cooks collard greens.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Y'all know in the civil rights era, people did different things.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Everybody did protests. Some people drove cars. Some people cooked.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I can't cook. It wouldn't be me. So whatever you're
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: good at, bring it to the campaign. Finally, we need
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: your treasure. That's right. I need you all to donate.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: If you donated already, I need you to donate again.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Donate again. You ain't got to drink that mocha latte
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: this week. Put it to the campaign. Help us go
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: up on commercials even more. Put it on the campaign.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Put $ 5 on it.

  Speaker 6: It's almost $ 5.

• 32:15
  Speaker 1: driving around in the van, y'all. I can't fly like

• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Vance told me to lead this country? That man told
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: me to lead this country. I don't have the right
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: to be here.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: I need to get the hell out of here is
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: what he said. The audacity when my people help build
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: this thing. But listen, I need y'all help to combat
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: this disinformation.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: But at the end of.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: The day, Donald Trump can call me whatever he wants
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: to call me.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Ashley Moody, J.D.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Vance with his eyeliner, they can say whatever they want
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: to say. But with your help come November 3rd, they
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: will be calling me senator. And so again, we are
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: in a battle for.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: The soul and the humanity of our country.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: But every time we fight, we.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Win. Every time we fight, we win. So when we fight,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: we win. When we fight, we win.

  Speaker 1: We need vanguards for justice. We need people who are
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: not afraid to call our names. You know, there's too
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: many people in government who.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Are in high places. And when it comes to fighting
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: for black.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Folks, they get quiet. They get afraid.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: They try to tell us that we've got to negotiate.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I know that Angie will not be that.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: How excited I would be to be able to vote
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: here in Florida and make history. I wish I lived
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: here in Florida where I could make history right now.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I am envious of all.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Of you who have the opportunity to send a.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Bonafide warrior to the Senate.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I am so envious of all of you who had
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: the opportunity to make the case for folks that are
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: in Alabama, folks that are in Massachusetts, people who are
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey, people who are all over this nation
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: are counting on you and what you will do right
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: here in Florida. And the job, brothers and sisters, is
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: not you and your one vote. The job is your
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: entire community, your town. And damn it, go organize people
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: all over the state. We take off time to go
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: to concerts. We take off time for vacation.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: We take off time.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: To travel and do the things we want to do.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Sometimes we take off because we don't feel like listening
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: to what they got to say.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: We just don't want to hear it.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: So if you've done that before, then take off some
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: time and travel two and three and four hours away
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: from home to tell people that you already cast your
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: vote and now you're coming to get them.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: That is the spirit of who we've always been.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: It is the collective work and responsibility for our community
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: that has always gotten us over.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: And this time will be no different. You know, one day, President.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Former President Biden said something that really bothered a.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Bunch of us.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: He said, they're trying to put y'all back in chains.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: And when I heard that statement, I, like many of you,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: was disturbed. How dare President Biden say they're trying to
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: put y'all back in chains?
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: He wasn't president at the time. How dare he? We
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: would never. And whoever they is, we ain't going back.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: But now as I look around, I realize that in hindsight,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: President Biden.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Was telling us what he knew.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Because he was in the rooms and he was hearing
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: the conversation.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: And while I had many issues.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: With him, what I can say is he sounded the alarm.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: They are trying to put us back in chains, black people.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: And we ain't going back.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: And the way we will protect ourselves, the way we
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: will defend our children, the way we will defend our
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: brothers and sisters who are being kidnapped around this nation,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: is we will send a bona fide warrior to the
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: United States Senate in Angie Nixon.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Let's go, Florida.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: So we're here with Mayor Lawson, and we're out here rallying,
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: getting out to vote. What do you think is at stake?
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: In this election?
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: Everything's at stake. The people that she's fighting for is
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: the ones that represent my community. Riviera Beach is a
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: predominantly black minority, one of the third lowest median incomes
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: in Palm Beach County. But Angie's fighting for those people,
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: the regular working class people, the ones that are just
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: trying to get ahead, the ones that need to take
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: advantage of Social Security and have that benefit, the ones
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: that need health care and access to health care, the
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: ones that need child care, better education. That's what Angie's
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: fighting for. So when I say everything, I mean everything.
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: Because my eight square miles of Riviera Beach, it needs her.
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: It needs us to get out the vote and to
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: support her and to get her over the hump to
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: make sure she's our next senator.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I feel the same way.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: When I first started to listen to Angie Nixon, I
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: watched her campaign just grow. What do you think has
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: made people come out in these record numbers and people,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: this energy that's around her that is just so illuminating?
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: What do you think it is? I see it firsthand.
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: I was with her in Tallahassee at homecoming, and I
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: saw the thousands of kids motivated. Back in school time,
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: get out the vote was, we weren't really that engaged
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: as we are today. And today the numbers are showing.
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: Here in Riviera Beach, I saw thousands of people coming
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: out just to get out and vote. Wanted to see
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: an opportunity to showcase Riviera Beach. But then also stand
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: side by side with somebody that's fighting for them because they.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Believe in her.
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: So Angie's really just motivated the common folks to really say.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I want to be engaged.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: I want to be involved.
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: And I believe, again, in politics and governance. This is
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: numbers like Obama time. This is the numbers that really
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: show that they have something to fight for, to believe in.
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: Not just because she's a black, but she's a fighter.
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: She's a working class and she's a leader and an
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: educated black woman.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: We have eight more days.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: I just want to ask, what would it mean if
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Ashley Moody became senator here?
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: So she represents our district as one of our senators
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: here in this community. She doesn't have the same experience, background,
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: and history that this woman has compared to what Revere
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: Beach represents. We have 67% black, 83% minority, third lowest
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: median income. While we have a barrier island, we also
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: have an amazing community that's a working class community, that's
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: an impoverished community that needs the support of somebody like
• 42:39
  Speaker 8: Angie Nixon. I don't think that our current Senator, Ms. Ashley,
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: would understand what it's like to really represent this community
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: and what Riviera Beach truly needs. So she's a fighter
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: for this community because she's just like this community.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: And with eight more days left to the election, what
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: do you think it's going to take to get her
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: over the hump, to get her where she's supposed to be,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: where we all believe she should be?
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Get out the vote.
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: We have record numbers here. We have so many residents.
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: In our municipal races, we only vote 8 to 12
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: to 15%. In congressional, in presidential, in gubernatorial, we don't
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: vote at the numbers that we need to. But if
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: every one of my voting residents, my 24,600 registered voters
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: in Riviera Beach, just cast that vote and cast it
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: for Angie Nixon, that would do our part here from
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: Riviera Beach to represent what Riviera Beach needs. So get
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: out and vote.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Get out.
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: Make sure you call your mama, your auntie, your cousin,
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: and tell them we need you. We need you because
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: Riviera Beach needs you. Palm Beach County needs you. The
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: state needs you. And this entire country needs Angie Nixon.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: Well, we appreciate you for all that you've done. And
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: this is a good showing. We know that with this
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: type of energy, we can't do nothing but win.
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: But win.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Tell us what's at stake.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Everything is at stake.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I'm here in Florida right now. You see, they just
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: called the police on a three-year-old kid, right? For playing soccer.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: We can't get a verdict on Nolan Wells.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: We can't get an.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Actual brain jury. We can't get.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: People to look into this case.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Everything is at stake.
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: We're watching it unfold right before our eyes, our hands.
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: Let's continue to pray, but most of all, we've got
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: to move by faith, and we've got to get out
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: here and vote.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: See the line right here?
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: Come in line for my.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Name and make sure you vote. Everything is at stake. Well, listen,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I hope that you enjoyed this episode.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: You've seen some clips from us being on the ground
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: with the GOTV. We brought you some of Angie Nixon.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: We brought you some of the, just the rally around.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: And we actually brought you the mayor of River Beach,
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Mayor Lawson. He gave his point of view. I hope
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: you went out and voted already. If you didn't go
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: out and vote already, make sure you do right now.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Bring a friend, bring a brother, bring a cousin. Because
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: like we always say, we always say this. What's at
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: stake is everything. And if you're not voting, then you're
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: on the menu. I'm not going to always be right.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Tamika D. Maverick's not going to always be wrong. We'll both,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: and I mean both, always be authentic. Peace.
