- 0:58Speaker 1: You know, you can both be touched, heart warmed, and
- 1:02Speaker 1: heat up the water, right? You can do that.
- 1:04Speaker 2: No.
- 1:05Speaker 1: But she started crying. And then I was on social
- 1:08Speaker 1: media and it was, I guess he's some kind of psychiatrist. And,
- 1:11Speaker 1: you know, at one point I said I had never
- 1:13Speaker 1: looked at happiness and all that kind of stuff. And
- 1:15Speaker 1: there were so many men that said the same thing. Yeah,
- 1:17Speaker 1: I read your comments too.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:18Speaker 1: I didn't read the comment. I just listened to him. Yeah,
- 1:21Speaker 1: I read it. It makes me happy that just, first off,
- 1:25Speaker 1: I always knew I was better than his real kids.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I know you really believe that, too. I know I
- 1:31Speaker 1: was better than the real Hugh Gleeson. I mean, it's
- 1:33Speaker 1: not wrong. I am better than him. Our draft pick
- 1:37Speaker 1: was a lot better.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I wrote you a number one bestseller. I got
- 1:42Speaker 1: you an eight ball. It's not the same.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Not the same.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wrote you a number one bestseller here.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I hotwired a Lincoln. It's right around the corner. I
- 1:59Speaker 1: hotwired a Lincoln. I returned your bail money.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 2:02Speaker 6: That's so great.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So the question is, are you voting early or are
- 2:07Speaker 1: you going to wait till day of the vote? Junius,
- 2:10Speaker 1: what are you going to do? Oh, of course.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I'm going to vote early. Actually, I tried to go yesterday.
- 2:15Speaker 3: But our polling place, the lines were so long.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Really?
- 2:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Can y'all mail in ballot? Can you send a mail ballot?
- 2:22Speaker 3: No, I don't want to do it by mail.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:24Speaker 3: I wanted to go.
- 2:25Speaker 1: And I thought it would be easy.
- 2:27Speaker 3: First day. And I couldn't even find a place to park.
- 2:31Speaker 3: But I'm definitely going to do it. I'm going to
- 2:33Speaker 3: try to go to. You got to do it when
- 2:34Speaker 3: you don't have nowhere to go.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.
- 2:36Speaker 3: They trying to make it hard for you.
- 2:38Speaker 7: They did.
- 2:38Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something. Numbers like this are
- 2:41Speaker 1: not traditionally up in an off election.
- 2:43Speaker 8: Nope.
- 2:44Speaker 1: If they are up, ain't nobody rushing for six more
- 2:48Speaker 1: years of this. No, no doubt. Nobody's rushing.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Harris County and Houston, the first day of early voting,
- 2:55Speaker 4: the record before had been like 60,000. The first day
- 2:59Speaker 4: of voting this time was like 130,000.
- 3:02Speaker 3: So that when you say broke the record, it more
- 3:05Speaker 3: than doubled it.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Harris County's... Uh-oh. Time for change. Yes, indeed. Tallarico.
- 3:19Speaker 5: Hinojosa.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I don't know what that means. Boy,
- 3:24Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I can't wait. I can't wait. No,
- 3:27Speaker 1: but it's close, though. It is very close.
- 3:29Speaker 8: It is.
- 3:29Speaker 1: All right.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Which is scary to think that there's that many idiots.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Well, we didn't vote for corruption.
- 3:36Speaker 1: That's what I'm telling you. I think, I think that
- 3:40Speaker 1: when people, when everybody's like the polls have been wrong,
- 3:43Speaker 1: the polls were wrong when Trump was on the docket,
- 3:46Speaker 1: they weren't wrong. The other times he wasn't. And that's
- 3:49Speaker 1: why he's trying to pretend like he's on the docket.
- 3:50Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 3:51Speaker 1: But this time when corruption is the number one concern
- 3:54Speaker 1: on American minds, you have a problem. Even even Mark Mulvaney, Mulvaney,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I saw him on the Newsmax and he was saying, well,
- 4:03Speaker 1: 90 percent of Americans agree. That's 90 percent. We don't
- 4:06Speaker 1: agree on anything. You can't get Americans not. And then, well,
- 4:09Speaker 1: you know, polling's been all not. OK, maybe it ain't 90,
- 4:12Speaker 1: but it's damn sure 88. Damn sure that. Yeah. But
- 4:16Speaker 1: we're going to the phones. Enough of that. You vote early.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Are you going to wait to vote day out?
- 4:23Speaker 5: I voted early, and everyone should, so a whole bunch
- 4:26Speaker 5: of crap won't be jumping off. And I came back
- 4:29Speaker 5: to volunteer with the Black Political Caucus. And please tell
- 4:33Speaker 5: the senior citizens and anyone incapacitated that they can come
- 4:36Speaker 5: in their car and not get out and still vote.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Nobody's talking about it. Stay in your car and vote.
- 4:42Speaker 5: You don't have to worry about it.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited about the vote. Unfortunately, I can't vote
- 4:49Speaker 2: early because I live in a red state and the
- 4:53Speaker 2: lower red and I'm just going to say Alabama. So
- 4:58Speaker 2: I have to vote on the day the polls open.
- 5:03Speaker 2: But I'm going to tell you what makes me more
- 5:04Speaker 2: excited about anything is that I'm a husband. And I
- 5:08Speaker 2: got three children, and my youngest just turned 18 in May.
- 5:12Speaker 2: And so, of course, we vote Democratic in my household.
- 5:17Speaker 2: But if you listen and you're under the sound of
- 5:20Speaker 2: my voice, this is probably the actual most consequential vote
- 5:26Speaker 2: that we've ever cast up until this date, especially in Alabama.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Tommy Trouble Bill is primed to be the governor. We
- 5:36Speaker 2: are in trouble if we don't change what's going on
- 5:39Speaker 2: in Washington, D.C., and get the Dems in the Senate.
- 5:43Speaker 2: or at least a house at minimum, we as a
- 5:46Speaker 2: country in trouble, and to my fellow Alabamians, we as
- 5:50Speaker 2: a state are in big, big trouble.
- 5:53Speaker 9: Yes, I have already voted. I voted the very first day.
- 5:57Speaker 9: And North Carolina has had the, I think we're third
- 6:01Speaker 9: in the country of the most voters so far in
- 6:04Speaker 9: earlier voting. So I'm very proud to say I have
- 6:06Speaker 9: one of those numbers.
- 6:08Speaker 7: Yeah, I voted early already, man. It's a good thing
- 6:12Speaker 7: to vote early so you don't have to worry about
- 6:15Speaker 7: these long lines or anything else. The main thing is, too,
- 6:21Speaker 7: if you don't know who you're voting for, go online,
- 6:24Speaker 7: get the ballot done. Do your research and see what
- 6:27Speaker 7: these people that you're voting for is about, and especially
- 6:31Speaker 7: in your district and everything else, because they make a
- 6:33Speaker 7: difference and the governors and everything else and the senators.
- 6:36Speaker 7: Because if you don't know and you're just voting just
- 6:39Speaker 7: to vote, then, you know, you have no idea what
- 6:42Speaker 7: you're doing.
- 6:43Speaker 10: Hey, I already voted.
- 6:45Speaker 11: I mailed my ballot back in yesterday.
- 6:48Speaker 10: Come on, you got to get out and vote. You
- 6:50Speaker 10: have to use your power and use your voice. If
- 6:52Speaker 10: you don't vote, you're basically still a slave on the
- 6:56Speaker 10: plantation who is not, you are not using your ability
- 7:02Speaker 10: to read and write. So you got to get out
- 7:04Speaker 10: there and use your voice.
- 7:05Speaker 1: So you're voting early or do you plan on voting? Daya,
- 7:08Speaker 1: we're going right to the phones.
- 7:10Speaker 12: Well, this is Beverly from Fayetteville.
- 7:12Speaker 2: I love the D.L.
- 7:13Speaker 12: Hughley Show. I have voted early, and I've tried to
- 7:17Speaker 12: talk to everybody and anybody to go out there and
- 7:19Speaker 12: make a difference.
- 7:20Speaker 2: So thank you.
- 7:21Speaker 12: For everyone who has voted early, and let's just keep
- 7:23Speaker 12: it going. We need the encouragement. I was there on
- 7:26Speaker 12: the second day of early voting, and we're going to.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Make a difference this year.
- 7:29Speaker 12: I speak that right now.
- 7:32Speaker 6: Yes, me and my wife are going voting, but we
- 7:35Speaker 6: kind of do it as a family.
- 7:37Speaker 13: My son-in-law, he goes votes and then he meets us
- 7:41Speaker 13: for breakfast along with my son and my son's wife.
- 7:48Speaker 13: We do it as a family every year, every election,
- 7:51Speaker 13: no matter whether.
- 7:52Speaker 6: It's state or local or federal. We always do it
- 7:56Speaker 6: as a family. We meet up, we sit and talk.
- 7:59Speaker 6: We really don't discuss who we voted for, but yeah,
- 8:03Speaker 6: we do it as a family, you know, and we
- 8:06Speaker 6: have an excellent voting record. My wife has instilled in
- 8:10Speaker 6: her son, my son-in-law, the importance of going voting, and
- 8:14Speaker 6: my son has been instilled by me, and he's getting
- 8:18Speaker 6: his wife on board with it, too. So kudos to us,
- 8:22Speaker 6: and kudos to those who go vote and always vote.
- 8:25Speaker 11: I voted on Saturday. Very proud of it. But I
- 8:30Speaker 11: need all of my Republican friends to show up, right,
- 8:35Speaker 11: and stop voting against their own interests.
- 8:38Speaker 8: Yes, I am going to vote early. And more importantly,
- 8:42Speaker 8: I'm going to educate myself well and then respond well
- 8:47Speaker 8: to the education that I have on the matters of
- 8:49Speaker 8: facts that I am voting on. Please be conscious, these
- 8:53Speaker 8: taxpayer-funded employees, have responsibilities due to the Constitution on the federal, state,
- 8:59Speaker 8: and county level for the employment that they're seeking. And
- 9:02Speaker 8: these levies that you may be voting on, please study.
- 9:06Speaker 8: Understand the details and how the details apply to whatever
- 9:08Speaker 8: pursuit that they're trying to get done. Resist the temptation
- 9:12Speaker 8: to vote just because you're loyal to a party and
- 9:15Speaker 8: you haven't studied the actual matters of facts. Resist the
- 9:19Speaker 8: temptation to vote on sensationalism and don't be buying in
- 9:24Speaker 8: to lies that you have not verified one way or
- 9:27Speaker 8: the other. Vote early, but vote as a well-educated person.
