- 1:08Speaker 4: he's on the Rock the Bell cruise. And I've seen
- 1:11Speaker 4: him dancing behind a lady in a scooter. You know
- 1:15Speaker 4: what I'm talking about?
- 1:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:16Speaker 4: She couldn't really walk, but she could twerk.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Well, it was consensual.
- 1:20Speaker 6: How?
- 1:21Speaker 4: How is that possible?
- 1:23Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:24Speaker 4: How can you twerk, but you can't walk?
- 1:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. She was leaning on that scooter kind
- 1:28Speaker 2: of heavy, though. She was.
- 1:30Speaker 4: And out to no better than to whatever. Okay. I
- 1:33Speaker 4: feel like that was a crime.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Hey, you know what? We'll bring him to the Morning
- 1:36Speaker 2: Hustle courtroom when he gets back. How about that?
- 1:38Speaker 4: I like that.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. For sure. In the meantime, speaking of courtrooms,
- 1:42Speaker 2: a lot of judges are on the ballot today. Today
- 1:44Speaker 2: is election day, man.
- 1:46Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Election Day podcast show. We got so many guests that
- 1:51Speaker 2: are going to talk to us just about the importance
- 1:53Speaker 2: of getting out there and casting your vote. Angela Rye
- 1:55Speaker 2: is going to join us. Van Latham is going to
- 1:57Speaker 2: join us. Brittany Patten and Cunningham is going to join
- 2:00Speaker 2: us as well. And we got a lot to talk
- 2:01Speaker 2: about being in the fact that the election is so important.
- 2:04Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 2:05Speaker 5: Yes.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Please, y'all, get out there and vote to all the
- 2:08Speaker 4: people that are already voted. Thank you so much. Hopefully
- 2:12Speaker 4: we can impeach the peach.
- 2:14Speaker 2: There you go. Also, we got to handle our regular business.
- 2:17Speaker 2: What you got going on with the lowdown?
- 2:18Speaker 4: So things get pretty tricky when it comes to what
- 2:21Speaker 4: they call them politics. OK, but Offset has figured out
- 2:26Speaker 4: a way to bet on himself. OK, also Kodak Black
- 2:31Speaker 4: took a tumble on stage. Kanye West made some history
- 2:35Speaker 4: on stage and Little Dirk may be in trouble yet again.
- 2:39Speaker 4: We'll talk all about it coming up in the lowdown.
- 2:41Speaker 2: All right, stick around. We're going to get into all
- 2:43Speaker 2: of that today. But first, let's kick it off with
- 2:45Speaker 2: Kyle's message of the day.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Am I? Yeah. Here's some quick inspiration to start your day.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Now check it. Kyle's message of the day. Kyle's message
- 2:58Speaker 2: of the day today is let your voice be heard.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Cast that vote. Let your voice be heard. Cast that vote.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of controversy all the time about,
- 3:09Speaker 2: you know, whether or not one side is better than
- 3:12Speaker 2: the other, whether or not you feel like your vote
- 3:14Speaker 2: actually counts, whether or not the system is what it
- 3:17Speaker 2: is and whether or not you feel like it matters
- 3:20Speaker 2: if you vote or not. I'm here to say if
- 3:22Speaker 2: your vote did not count, why are they doing so
- 3:24Speaker 2: much to take away your power when it comes to voting?
- 3:27Speaker 2: What do you think that whole redistricting was about? Diluting
- 3:30Speaker 2: your vote. You know what I'm saying? What do you
- 3:32Speaker 2: think they was out there fighting for back in the
- 3:34Speaker 2: 60s when they were trying to stop people from going
- 3:37Speaker 2: to the voting booths to cast their vote? What do
- 3:38Speaker 2: you think that was about? What do you think the
- 3:40Speaker 2: poll tax was about? The poll tax where they said...
- 3:43Speaker 2: All right, you black people, if you want to vote,
- 3:45Speaker 2: it's going to cost you a certain amount of money
- 3:47Speaker 2: knowing that they didn't have the money to pay to
- 3:50Speaker 2: actually vote. If voting didn't matter, why are they doing
- 3:53Speaker 2: all of these things? Why have they historically done all
- 3:57Speaker 2: of these things to keep you from going to the
- 3:59Speaker 2: ballot box? I say forget about all that nonsense. We
- 4:02Speaker 2: know that people actually, physically, literally die for us to
- 4:06Speaker 2: have a chance to get out there and cast that
- 4:08Speaker 2: vote today. And I think it would be a spit
- 4:10Speaker 2: in the face, a slap in the face. It would
- 4:12Speaker 2: be totally disrespectful for you not to take advantage of
- 4:15Speaker 2: the privilege that you have to go out there. and
- 4:17Speaker 2: cast a vote in that ballot box today. So despite
- 4:20Speaker 2: all of the, you know, naysayers or the confusion or
- 4:24Speaker 2: about what may be and what may not be, I
- 4:27Speaker 2: tell you what, let's say I don't really know. I'd
- 4:29Speaker 2: rather cast my vote and have the chance to be
- 4:32Speaker 2: right about that than not cast my vote and be wrong.
- 4:35Speaker 2: So get out there today. Do what you got to do.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Today is to make it happen. Yo, let your voice
- 4:40Speaker 2: be heard. Kyle's message of the day is cast your vote.
- 4:45Speaker 4: That's right. And mine is simple. George Washington is the
- 4:48Speaker 4: only president who didn't blame the previous administration.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Hilarious. We are The Morning Hustle. What up, y'all? It's
- 5:00Speaker 2: The Morning Hustle. L'Oreal, Kyle Santilli, and Alton Walker.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Come get this money. It's $ 1, 000. We got the $ 1, 000
- 5:06Speaker 4: cash grab. Everybody's talking about it. Text CASH, that's C-A-S-H,
- 5:11Speaker 4: to 71007 so you're not left out. Don't you want
- 5:14Speaker 4: to play the game? Don't you want to win? Okay,
- 5:17Speaker 4: $ 1, 000 is on the line and it's waiting for you.
- 5:20Speaker 2: All right, listen, man, today is election day and we
- 5:22Speaker 2: have a couple of people in studio to kind of
- 5:24Speaker 2: talk about the importance of today. One, Miss Claudia Jordan.
- 5:28Speaker 2: And secondly, Miss Daria Dawson, the executive director for America Votes.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Good morning, ladies.
- 5:34Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Let's get to it.
- 5:36Speaker 4: So, Claudia, people have busy mornings, long commutes, and some
- 5:40Speaker 4: listeners might be sitting in traffic right now thinking, does
- 5:44Speaker 4: my one vote really make a difference? So what is
- 5:48Speaker 4: your message to anyone on the fence about heading to
- 5:51Speaker 4: the polls today? Because I've been arguing with people about
- 5:54Speaker 4: they vote counting. Your vote does matter.
- 5:56Speaker 7: Back in the day, George Bush won Florida by 525 votes,
- 5:59Speaker 7: and that changed the whole trajectory of this country. So
- 6:02Speaker 7: I bet you have 500 people that you're following or
- 6:04Speaker 7: follow you on social media. That is not a big number. So, yes,
- 6:06Speaker 7: your one vote, part of that 525, 1,000 percent counts.
- 6:08Speaker 7: All right, so, Daria, though, let me ask you, right,
- 6:11Speaker 7: because you do your thing. You're executive director for America Votes, OK?
- 6:15Speaker 7: You guys are out.
- 6:16Speaker 2: You're mobilizing communities on the ground every day, all the time.
- 6:19Speaker 2: And for listeners right now that are about to leave
- 6:21Speaker 2: their house and go out there and try to cast
- 6:22Speaker 2: their vote, What's some things, some practical things, some real
- 6:25Speaker 2: things they need to know before they walk out the door? One,
- 6:28Speaker 2: you need to know where your polling location is.
- 6:30Speaker 8: Check to make sure that the place that you think
- 6:32Speaker 8: is your polling location is actually still, in fact, your
- 6:34Speaker 8: polling location. Check the hours of that location and make
- 6:37Speaker 8: sure that you are taking a valid ID with you.
- 6:39Speaker 8: And also, if your polling location closes at 7 p.m.
- 6:44Speaker 8: and you are in line by 7 p.m., you stay
- 6:46Speaker 8: in line.
- 6:47Speaker 4: OK, so a lot of attention goes to the top
- 6:49Speaker 4: of the ticket, but the entire ballot is packed. Daria
- 6:53Speaker 4: and Claudia, why is it crucial that folks don't stop
- 6:57Speaker 4: after the big names and vote all the way down
- 7:00Speaker 4: the ballot?
- 7:00Speaker 7: A football team cannot win with just a quarterback. You
- 7:03Speaker 7: need a D-line, O-line. You need someone to catch the
- 7:05Speaker 7: ball that you throw. And that's just the same thing
- 7:07Speaker 7: that happens in politics. You can't just have a president that,
- 7:11Speaker 7: you know, moves in the way you need him to move.
- 7:13Speaker 7: You need a supporting cast to make it all work.
- 7:15Speaker 8: Ironically, the ones that are furthest down the ballot are
- 7:20Speaker 8: the elected officials that are the closest to you and
- 7:22Speaker 8: will have the biggest impact on your life. So the
- 7:24Speaker 8: president of the United States or a U.S. senator who
- 7:26Speaker 8: is at the top, yes, of course, vote for them.
- 7:28Speaker 8: But actually flip the ballot. If you have a two-page ballot,
- 7:31Speaker 8: go to the third page. If you have a three-page ballot,
- 7:33Speaker 8: those are the elected officials that are going to have
- 7:35Speaker 8: the biggest impact on your lives. Those are the ones
- 7:37Speaker 8: that are controlling the books your children read. Those are
- 7:39Speaker 8: the ones that are determining whether or not your.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Utility bills work. whether your tiller bills look like.
- 7:44Speaker 8: Those are the ones that are determining what your water,
- 7:47Speaker 8: whether it's clean or not. Those issues that are happening
- 7:51Speaker 8: closest to you are the ones that are the furthest
- 7:53Speaker 8: down the ballot.
- 7:54Speaker 4: OK, so this one's very important because you know that
- 7:57Speaker 4: things have changed. And today there is a lot of
- 8:01Speaker 4: long lines. What do you have to say to the
- 8:03Speaker 4: people that got to weigh the notes?
- 8:05Speaker 7: Stand on business. Yeah, it's a long line. Yeah, it's
- 8:09Speaker 7: not fun. Yeah, it may be boring to you. But
- 8:12Speaker 7: there were people that came before you that had to
- 8:14Speaker 7: face way worse conditions. And it was way scarier for them.
- 8:17Speaker 7: And I just try to think about them. You know,
- 8:19Speaker 7: think about the people that stood in line and they
- 8:21Speaker 7: were threatened with death. I mean, we've all seen that
- 8:24Speaker 7: iconic picture where it's not a mannequin, but it was
- 8:27Speaker 7: like a simulation of a body. And it said this voted.
- 8:31Speaker 7: I think about that image all the time. So how
- 8:34Speaker 7: dare you not? So, yeah, it's a little inconvenient, but
- 8:36Speaker 7: you stand in line for the new Xbox or some sneakers.
- 8:41Speaker 2: All right. So let me ask you this, ladies. If
- 8:43Speaker 2: you find yourself, you're there, you showed up to vote,
- 8:45Speaker 2: you waited in line, you get all the way up
- 8:46Speaker 2: to the table and now you're having an issue at
- 8:50Speaker 2: the table with the person. What do you do then?
- 8:52Speaker 8: Well, one, I think they should pull a Karen and
- 8:55Speaker 8: ask to speak to the manager and they should also
- 8:58Speaker 8: dial 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
- 9:00Speaker 2: That is the.
- 9:02Speaker 8: Election protection hotline, particularly for people in our community. Report it.
- 9:07Speaker 8: Ask the questions. Do not leave that polling location out
- 9:11Speaker 8: of frustration. That is what they want you to do.
- 9:13Speaker 2: And if you don't know who to vote for, right,
- 9:15Speaker 2: you don't know what the measures mean, like you're just
- 9:17Speaker 2: a little bit confused about what you're seeing. What should
- 9:19Speaker 2: you do then?
- 9:20Speaker 7: If you don't know who to vote for on the
- 9:21Speaker 7: ballot or for the measures, I would use the Internet.
- 9:25Speaker 7: The Internet is your friend. You can use chat, GBT.
- 9:27Speaker 7: And ask what this candidate stands for. What are they
- 9:29Speaker 7: known for? And for the measures, ask what this means.
- 9:32Speaker 7: Because a lot of times it's purposely written to be confusing.
- 9:35Speaker 7: Vote no on yes. vote yes or no. And you're like, wait, what?
- 9:39Speaker 7: So I've done that myself. And it broke it down
- 9:41Speaker 7: where I could understand what exactly I was voting for,
- 9:44Speaker 7: because they do that on purpose. Every state does it
- 9:47Speaker 7: on purpose.
- 9:48Speaker 2: All right, ladies, we appreciate y'all, man. Thank y'all for
- 9:50Speaker 2: pulling up today. And thank you for the work that
- 9:52Speaker 2: you're doing. Once again, Claudia Jordan, friend of the show,
- 9:55Speaker 2: of course, and executive director for America Votes, Miss Daria Dawson.
- 9:59Speaker 2: thank you ladies for everything all right lowdown's on the
- 10:04Speaker 2: way l'oreal what.
- 10:05Speaker 4: You got now would you consider a six-figure salary crumbs
- 10:09Speaker 4: well i'll tell you who does plus rihanna has a
- 10:12Speaker 4: very important message we'll talk all about it coming up
- 10:14Speaker 4: in the lowdown that's on the way L'Oreal has the lowdown. Yeah,
- 10:18Speaker 4: you got that?
- 10:19Speaker 2: Lowdown. On the morning hustle. Boosie talking like six figures
- 10:25Speaker 2: is for suckers. Damn, what's he mean by that?
- 10:27Speaker 4: I don't know, but some people are calling him out
- 10:31Speaker 4: of touch. We'll see what you think. First and foremost,
- 10:33Speaker 4: guess who's running for president, man? Who? Terrence Howard. Are
- 10:41Speaker 4: you looking forward to voting? Yes.
- 10:45Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to becoming president. I know that.
- 10:48Speaker 4: Is that real?
- 10:49Speaker 2: That's what I'm looking forward to.
- 10:51Speaker 4: Is that real?
- 10:52Speaker 2: They're not going to make a difference. Somebody's got to
- 10:54Speaker 2: do something. Somebody's got to do something that's got some heart.
- 10:57Speaker 2: That's what it's about.
- 10:59Speaker 4: And he ain't never lied. At this point, I'll vote
- 11:01Speaker 4: for him. Anybody's better than Donald Trump.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Yes, I would, man. Yes, listen, man. We're going to
- 11:09Speaker 2: the polls, man. Get to the polls.
- 11:11Speaker 4: I mean, he's on the right side of things when
- 11:13Speaker 4: he talks about reparations. I also do like the fact
- 11:17Speaker 4: that they asked him about Nicki Minaj. and her stepping
- 11:20Speaker 4: into politics. And he said he's glad that she's speaking
- 11:23Speaker 4: her mind. And with that, I'm going to have to agree. Listen,
- 11:26Speaker 4: at least get behind and stand behind whatever you believe
- 11:29Speaker 4: in wholeheartedly. Because to be honest.
- 11:34Speaker 4: It's just bad out here and if that's how you
- 11:36Speaker 4: really feel and and that's your views I feel like
- 11:38Speaker 4: you should be able to vote for whoever you want
- 11:41Speaker 4: but just please get out there and vote if not
- 11:44Speaker 4: it's kind of like you're leaving it in the hands
- 11:46Speaker 4: of just any old body and that's how Rihanna feels
- 11:49Speaker 4: you know now Joy Reid had these comments to say
- 11:53Speaker 4: not too long ago check this.
- 11:54Speaker 5: Out I think that America has gotten its just desserts.
- 11:59Speaker 5: I think Trump, in a very real sense, is what
- 12:02Speaker 5: we deserve. It is very clear to me that a
- 12:05Speaker 5: majority of white America, their deepest heart's desire was to
- 12:08Speaker 5: have an unfiltered Trump presidency. I think that Trump is
- 12:13Speaker 5: the embodiment of what they hoped would save white America
- 12:18Speaker 5: from this white genocide that exists in their mind.
- 12:22Speaker 6: Right.
- 12:22Speaker 4: I agree. And Rihanna does too. She got on social
- 12:26Speaker 4: media and basically said, listen, yes, America got what it
- 12:30Speaker 4: deserved because the people that didn't go out and vote
- 12:33Speaker 4: also voted for this. Now, she is not able to
- 12:37Speaker 4: vote because she is not a U.S. citizen, but she
- 12:40Speaker 4: is able to use her platform to speak up. And
- 12:43Speaker 4: shout out to Rihanna for making that thing clear. She's
- 12:46Speaker 4: telling y'all to get out there and vote because this
- 12:48Speaker 4: is the, you know, this is what happens when you don't. Go, y'all,
- 12:53Speaker 4: today is election day. Get out there and vote, okay? Anyway,
- 12:58Speaker 4: last but not least, some people are pissed at Boosie Badass. Why?
- 13:03Speaker 4: Because he said $ 125, 000 is crumbs. They got a lot
- 13:06Speaker 4: of people in the comments.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Mad at me.
- 13:13Speaker 9: Saying because i said 150k 125k a year is crumb
- 13:17Speaker 9: that is to me you know that ain't that ain't
- 13:20Speaker 9: no money to me what's up like 150k divided by
- 13:24Speaker 9: 12 that's 12 5 a month that ain't gonna pay
- 13:27Speaker 9: my bills.
- 13:29Speaker 4: And some people are busting their ass to get into
- 13:31Speaker 4: that six figure range. And some people are there and
- 13:34Speaker 4: still struggling. So is he right? Or is he out
- 13:38Speaker 4: of touch? Now, you know, he's a rapper. So clearly
- 13:40Speaker 4: he gets like $ 70, 000 for a performance is what they say.
- 13:43Speaker 4: $ 25, 000 for Vlad interviews. So I can understand why he
- 13:47Speaker 4: kind of says that's, you know, crumbs to him. But
- 13:52Speaker 4: does that offend his fans? You know, does that offend
- 13:55Speaker 4: his listeners?
- 13:56Speaker 2: I didn't hear the initial statement. We're hearing his response.
- 13:59Speaker 2: But if you delivered that statement like, yeah, it ain't nothing, blah, blah, blah.
- 14:03Speaker 2: I mean, I can understand why people are upset. If
- 14:05Speaker 2: you're breaking it down like you did in your second statement, listen,
- 14:07Speaker 2: I got these bills. That's not going to work for me.
- 14:10Speaker 2: It's how you deliver when you say these things. You
- 14:13Speaker 2: got to understand, man, the average person is making 60K
- 14:16Speaker 2: a year.
- 14:17Speaker 4: His initial statement came from Instagram Live when somebody asked
- 14:20Speaker 4: him whether he missed the money he used to make
- 14:23Speaker 4: doing Vlad interviews or not. So he said throughout the year,
- 14:27Speaker 4: he would make about $ 125, 000 strictly off of Vlad interviews.
- 14:32Speaker 4: And he said, no, to me, that's crumbs.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm okay. In the context of what he's talking about,
- 14:38Speaker 2: I'm all right with it.
- 14:38Speaker 4: You're okay with him saying that?
- 14:40Speaker 2: In the context. He's talking about Vlad, you know what
- 14:43Speaker 2: I mean? Like, yeah.
- 14:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like he's really trying to take a
- 14:46Speaker 4: jab at Vlad. I don't think he's talking about the
- 14:48Speaker 4: average man that makes six figures.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Correct.
- 14:51Speaker 4: Even though that could feel like a slight and somebody
- 14:53Speaker 4: could feel slighted, but it's like, why are you comparing
- 14:55Speaker 4: yourself to Boosie Badass anyway? I mean, he just spent,
- 14:59Speaker 4: I mean, his son's bond was just like a quarter
- 15:02Speaker 4: of a million dollars, and he had to come up
- 15:04Speaker 4: with that. So that is kind of like crumbs to him, no?
- 15:06Speaker 2: I mean, hey, listen, for him, yes. Yeah.
- 15:10Speaker 4: I'm L'Oreal. That's the lowdown. You can follow me at
- 15:12Speaker 4: Star and L'Oreal, L-O-R-E-L, or Moana Hustle Show.
- 15:16Speaker 2: All right, listen, today is election day. People are getting
- 15:18Speaker 2: out there and vote. But last time we had a midterm,
- 15:21Speaker 2: what generation really showed up the most? We're going to
- 15:23Speaker 2: talk about it up next in a Santilli survey. Don't move.
- 15:29Speaker 2: We are the Morning Hustle. Morning Hustle Show, baby. It's L'Oreal,
- 15:34Speaker 2: Kyle Santillan, Alton Walker.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
- 15:37Speaker 4: We got an app. It's called the Morning Hustle app.
- 15:39Speaker 4: And guess what? It's free. You can keep us on
- 15:41Speaker 4: the go with you wherever you need to go. Just
- 15:43Speaker 4: go in your Google Play Store or your app store,
- 15:45Speaker 4: search the Morning Hustle, and download.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right, man. Today is election day. We're going
- 15:50Speaker 2: to remind you, vote, vote, vote, vote, and vote, vote, vote. Okay? Now, listen. Today...
- 15:56Speaker 2: It's about voting for the midterms. We are not voting
- 15:58Speaker 2: for the president today, but there are plenty of other
- 16:01Speaker 2: positions that need to be decided. For instance, like we
- 16:05Speaker 2: need a cabinet. We need Congress that is going to
- 16:08Speaker 2: fight against some of the things that's being proposed by
- 16:11Speaker 2: this president and people that are loyal to him. So
- 16:14Speaker 2: that's what this is all about. Now, when it comes
- 16:16Speaker 2: to the midterms, who's actually getting out there and voting
- 16:19Speaker 2: by age groups? And this is where I need y'all
- 16:22Speaker 2: to pay attention because younger people, we need y'all to
- 16:24Speaker 2: get out there and make it Now, when it comes
- 16:27Speaker 2: to the last midterm, which was 2022, people that were
- 16:30Speaker 2: 75 years of age or older, 65% of them went
- 16:32Speaker 2: out there and casted a vote. The highest level was
- 16:33Speaker 2: people that were between 65 and 74. 68% of them
- 16:36Speaker 2: got out there and voted. Coming in at number three,
- 16:38Speaker 2: 45 to 64% 58% of them voted. And as we
- 16:56Speaker 2: get younger, this number goes down. And that's what I
- 16:58Speaker 2: don't like. 25 to 44-year-olds last time, 44% voted. And
- 17:00Speaker 2: 18 to 24-year-olds, 28, I'll say, percent of them voted
- 17:02Speaker 2: during the last midterm election. So when you hear these numbers,
- 17:13Speaker 2: I just wanted to encourage people that are younger to
- 17:16Speaker 2: get out there and cast that vote today, because as
- 17:19Speaker 2: people get older, it seems as though they take voting
- 17:22Speaker 2: more serious. But you could really turn this thing around
- 17:24Speaker 2: if we get the younger people out there casting their votes.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Yeah, just goes to show you how privileged the younger
- 17:30Speaker 4: generation feels. They don't even respect the fact that with.
- 17:35Speaker 4: their forefathers went through just to get them to be
- 17:37Speaker 4: able to vote or to have a democracy. And y'all
- 17:41Speaker 4: will end up with a dictatorship like Donald Trump wants
- 17:44Speaker 4: it to be if you don't get out there and vote. Like,
- 17:46Speaker 4: y'all don't care about anything that goes on in the
- 17:49Speaker 4: world that has nothing to solely do with you, but
- 17:52Speaker 4: you don't even realize that it has everything to do
- 17:54Speaker 4: with you. Get out there and vote. There's a reason
- 17:57Speaker 4: why people marched. There's a reason why people got jailed
- 18:00Speaker 4: and died so that they can vote. There's a reason
- 18:02Speaker 4: why they're trying to stop you from voting. there's a
- 18:05Speaker 4: reason why Donald Trump tried to steal an election, allegedly. Okay,
- 18:09Speaker 4: y'all need to get out there and make your vote count.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Do what you got to do, man. We want to
- 18:13Speaker 2: encourage everybody to make it happen. Today is today. If
- 18:16Speaker 2: you did not early vote already, go ahead and make
- 18:20Speaker 2: it happen. All right? All right, that being said, stick around, man.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Since we are talking Election Day, our homie is back.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Brittany Packland Cunningham is on the way. Stick around. We're
- 18:28Speaker 2: going to talk to her up next.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Turn us up in the morning. Can't knock the hustle.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Wow.
- 18:32Speaker 10: Let's go.
- 18:35Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 18:35Speaker 2: It's the Morning Hustle. Morning Hustle show, baby. L'Oreal, Kyle Santilli,
- 18:39Speaker 2: and Alton Walker. And one of our favorite guests is
- 18:42Speaker 2: back just in the nick of time because it is
- 18:45Speaker 2: election day. And Ms. Brittany Packnett Cunningham is here. You
- 18:49Speaker 2: know her from the host of the Undistracted podcast and
- 18:52Speaker 2: so many other things. We appreciate you coming back on
- 18:55Speaker 2: with us again.
- 18:56Speaker 4: I'm always glad to be with y'all.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. So let's talk about it. It's
- 18:59Speaker 2: election day. You know what I'm saying? The midterm elections.
- 19:02Speaker 2: A lot of people have early voted, but today is
- 19:05Speaker 2: the actual day. What have you been seeing in terms
- 19:08Speaker 2: of the enthusiasm about voting today as it pertains to
- 19:12Speaker 2: this year versus recent years?
- 19:14Speaker 11: You know, there are so many states, especially states that
- 19:17Speaker 11: people didn't expect, that absolutely trounced their previous year's early
- 19:21Speaker 11: voting numbers. I'm talking Mississippi, Louisiana. People have been showing
- 19:25Speaker 11: up in Ohio. People have been showing up in Michigan.
- 19:27Speaker 11: People have been showing up in Missouri. Places where they
- 19:30Speaker 11: think that people of color, black folks in particular, have
- 19:33Speaker 11: gone to sleep.
- 19:34Speaker 4: We are wide awake.
- 19:36Speaker 11: I mean, I'm talking lines around the corner in Mississippi.
- 19:40Speaker 11: for a Senate seat in particular that people said can't
- 19:43Speaker 11: be won by somebody black, let alone a Democrat. And
- 19:46Speaker 11: there is a black Democrat who is making great strides.
- 19:49Speaker 11: So I think the enthusiasm that we're seeing across the
- 19:53Speaker 11: country is really a signal that.
- 19:55Speaker 4: People are fed up.
- 19:55Speaker 11: People are fed up with these high gas prices. People
- 19:58Speaker 11: are fed up with the high cost of living. People
- 20:00Speaker 11: are fed up with being in wars that we don't
- 20:02Speaker 11: need to be in. And people want to make sure
- 20:05Speaker 11: that if people are taking so much time to try
- 20:08Speaker 11: to steal their right to vote, that they hold on
- 20:10Speaker 11: to it as tightly as possible.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Now, you said 73 million children can't vote but are
- 20:15Speaker 4: affected by elections. What should parents be thinking about when
- 20:19Speaker 4: they cast their ballots?
- 20:21Speaker 11: You know, in my full-time life, I'm chief strategy officer
- 20:23Speaker 11: at Children's Defense Fund. And at Children's Defense Fund Action,
- 20:27Speaker 11: we've been focused on the idea that voting rights are
- 20:29Speaker 11: children's rights. Those 73 million children will be impacted by
- 20:33Speaker 11: what happens happens today on election day.
- 20:36Speaker 4: They don't have any say in it.
- 20:37Speaker 11: So bring your kids to the ballot box. When you
- 20:39Speaker 11: go over your ballot guide, talk to them about what's
- 20:43Speaker 11: on the plate for them. And if you go to voteforchildren.netlify.app,
- 20:48Speaker 11: you can see CDF Actions guides.
- 20:50Speaker 4: We give you.
- 20:50Speaker 11: Guides on how to engage your children in the election process,
- 20:55Speaker 11: how to talk to them about the results, all the
- 20:57Speaker 11: things that you need to not only be a great
- 20:59Speaker 11: parent this election day, but to set up your young
- 21:01Speaker 11: people's to be engaged on every election day.
- 21:04Speaker 2: And one other aspect that I think we don't take
- 21:07Speaker 2: enough time to investigate or research is the judges that
- 21:11Speaker 2: are on these ballots.
- 21:13Speaker 4: Yes, the judges.
- 21:14Speaker 11: Listen, I put up a video the other day because
- 21:17Speaker 11: I think we've been selling people the wrong message. We've
- 21:20Speaker 11: been telling people that one vote one time will change everything.
- 21:23Speaker 6: Right.
- 21:23Speaker 11: And so people look up and they say, why didn't
- 21:25Speaker 11: Obama fix everything? Why didn't Biden fix everything? Why didn't
- 21:28Speaker 11: Vice President Harris fix everything? This is already, like I said,
- 21:32Speaker 11: a group project. It's not winning a championship immediately.
- 21:35Speaker 6: Right.
- 21:35Speaker 11: It's like building a team that wins over time. And
- 21:38Speaker 11: every single bucket is a score for the people.
- 21:40Speaker 6: Right.
- 21:40Speaker 4: If we get the team.
- 21:41Speaker 7: That we want.
- 21:42Speaker 11: Then every single bucket is a score for the people.
- 21:44Speaker 11: And the judges are the refs. The judges are the
- 21:46Speaker 11: ones who set the rules of society. And it can
- 21:50Speaker 11: be really simple because in a lot of places, judges
- 21:53Speaker 11: just have to be reaffirmed.
- 21:55Speaker 6: Right.
- 21:55Speaker 11: So you're not necessarily voting for or against them as
- 21:58Speaker 11: long as they get enough people saying, yes, keep your job,
- 22:00Speaker 11: then they can keep their appointment.
- 22:01Speaker 4: You need to go look at those judges records, figure out.
- 22:04Speaker 11: Are they disproportionately harming the black community? Are they disproportionately
- 22:08Speaker 11: sending black folks to jail or are they redirecting us into,
- 22:11Speaker 11: you know, redirection programs? Do they have high recidivism rates?
- 22:14Speaker 11: Like all of those conversations matter. All of that research matters.
- 22:18Speaker 11: The judges are on the ballot in so many places.
- 22:21Speaker 11: And listen, they have an impact on everything from criminal
- 22:24Speaker 11: justice in our societies to our voting rights. So it's
- 22:27Speaker 11: critically important to know what their records are before you
- 22:30Speaker 11: give them the thumbs up.
- 22:31Speaker 2: All right, man, we love you. We appreciate when you
- 22:33Speaker 2: come on the show that people know where they can
- 22:36Speaker 2: follow you, please. And that 411 information you gave earlier.
- 22:39Speaker 4: So a reminder, it's vote411. org. That's vote411. org.
- 22:44Speaker 11: And the League of Women Voters there allows you to
- 22:47Speaker 11: put your zip code in and you can get a
- 22:49Speaker 11: nonpartisan preparation ballot so that you understand everything that's on
- 22:54Speaker 11: your ballot before you go and vote. And you can
- 22:57Speaker 11: follow me all across social media at Ms.
- 23:00Speaker 4: Pac Yeti.

- 23:03Speaker 11: the day. And you can find the Undistracted Podcast anywhere

- 23:33Speaker 2: Ha, ha, ha.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Remember that, Cal?
- 23:36Speaker 2: Remember I was telling you the story the other day,
- 23:37Speaker 2: and I was like, Sone pulls up, and she's like, yo.
- 23:41Speaker 4: Ha, ha, ha. I like when they do that.

- 23:48Speaker 4: played a damn game and gave my money.
- 23:49Speaker 2: So, Nay, how do you feel about winning this $ 1, 000 today?
- 23:52Speaker 8: I feel great.
- 23:53Speaker 5: Hopefully I win it.
- 23:55Speaker 7: Okay.
- 23:55Speaker 2: You got 60 seconds to answer 10 questions for every
- 23:58Speaker 2: correct answer. We'll give you $ 10. Get all 10 right.
- 24:00Speaker 2: You win $ 1, 000. If you don't know an answer, you
- 24:02Speaker 2: can say pass. We'll come back to it as long
- 24:04Speaker 2: as we have time. And make sure the answer you
- 24:06Speaker 2: give is the one that you want because we have
- 24:07Speaker 2: to go with your first response. And our judge, who
- 24:10Speaker 2: actually got your name right today, don't play about that.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Can't believe it.
- 24:13Speaker 6: Okay?
- 24:13Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Got that?
- 24:14Speaker 4: Okay.
- 24:15Speaker 6: All right.
- 24:16Speaker 2: That being said, L'Oreal's got a free answer for you.
- 24:18Speaker 4: And that answer is going to be the Suez Canal.
- 24:22Speaker 4: I don't know, girl.
- 24:24Speaker 6: Ha!
- 24:25Speaker 4: Clearly, the judges is on one today. But that is
- 24:28Speaker 4: the answer. The Suez Canal. I don't know. I'm just saying.
- 24:31Speaker 4: I never heard of it. That's me, though. You might
- 24:34Speaker 4: know that. That's on you.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Right. All right. Let's see if we can get to it.
- 24:40Speaker 2: If you had to give yourself a prediction, how many
- 24:42Speaker 2: are you getting right today?
- 24:43Speaker 4: All of them.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Okay.
- 24:45Speaker 4: You got this, baby girl.
- 24:46Speaker 2: I'm with you. She said all of them. All right.
- 24:48Speaker 2: All right, here we go, man. I got 60 seconds

- 26:10Speaker 4: as hell that you knew that answer. I'm not.
- 26:13Speaker 11: I'm just teaching my kids about the map, so.
- 26:19Speaker 4: That is crazy. They must have the Suez Canal on there, though. Right. Now, girl,

- 27:07Speaker 6: Wow.
- 27:07Speaker 4: You didn't take it serious. You know you were supposed
- 27:09Speaker 4: to write that answer down.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Damn. I would have gave that to you sooner.
- 27:13Speaker 8: I ain't got no opinion or nothing.

- 29:33Speaker 4: a fall on stage in Tampa. And I'm not talking
- 29:36Speaker 4: about Tripp. They're saying he passed out. well I guess
- 29:44Speaker 4: maybe some people thought he may have been joking but
- 29:47Speaker 4: it's really not a joke have you ever passed.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Out I've laughed so hard that I passed out and
- 29:52Speaker 2: then everybody was looking at me like yo you good
- 29:54Speaker 2: like yeah.
- 29:55Speaker 4: That's great what was the joke I don't know.
- 29:58Speaker 2: We were doing something for the radio we were doing
- 29:59Speaker 2: something for the radio I was standing there you was
- 30:02Speaker 2: on air No, we were recording something, so we were
- 30:05Speaker 2: in the production room. And I laughed so hard. I
- 30:08Speaker 2: remember laughing, and I remember getting up off the floor.
- 30:10Speaker 2: They were like, yo, you were out.
- 30:12Speaker 4: Did anyone call 911, or they just let you die?
- 30:14Speaker 2: I didn't die. They just was like, yo.
- 30:16Speaker 4: You did die for like five seconds.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Yo, yeah, like five seconds. They were like, yo, you
- 30:20Speaker 2: was out. That's crazy.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Hit my head on the floor.
- 30:22Speaker 4: I think Kodak is fine. I don't think we need
- 30:24Speaker 4: to say prayers for him. I just think he needs
- 30:26Speaker 4: some more water or like a hobby.
- 30:27Speaker 2: This is a true story, man. Yeah, it's happening.
- 30:29Speaker 4: That is crazy. Anyway, now speaking of not coming back,
- 30:32Speaker 4: it looks like Lil Durk might not have a chance
- 30:35Speaker 4: to be a free man to come back. And this
- 30:38Speaker 4: is because, okay, I told y'all about this. He has
- 30:41Speaker 4: a bail hearing coming up November the 4th. Now he
- 30:44Speaker 4: has gotten letters, personal handwritten letters from Jay-Z, J. Cole,
- 30:50Speaker 4: Michael Rubin. They are all saying that they, you know,
- 30:53Speaker 4: they put they stamp behind him that they feel like
- 30:55Speaker 4: he is an innocent man. and he should be free.
- 30:58Speaker 4: We know he beat his first case, he's working on
- 31:00Speaker 4: his second, and now I'm feeling like he's being targeted.
- 31:02Speaker 4: Apparently they searched him, and they keep searching him, looking
- 31:06Speaker 4: for contraband, but this time they found nothing. So when
- 31:09Speaker 4: they found nothing, he got into a little back and
- 31:11Speaker 4: forth with the deputy, and they threw him in the shoe,
- 31:14Speaker 4: which is solitary confinement. Now, they know that his bond
- 31:17Speaker 4: hearing is two days away and people are saying they
- 31:21Speaker 4: did this on purpose because they don't want him to
- 31:23Speaker 4: get out. Like either way, just want to send some
- 31:26Speaker 4: love out to Lil Durk because clearly, you know, he
- 31:30Speaker 4: has a target on his back. So I don't know
- 31:32Speaker 4: what's going to happen November 4th, but we will keep
- 31:35Speaker 4: you updated. Last but not least. It is election day today.
- 31:39Speaker 4: Get your ass up and vote. Okay, you should have
- 31:42Speaker 4: voted early because that would have made it easier. But
- 31:44Speaker 4: you still got some time, okay?
- 31:46Speaker 2: That's right.
- 31:46Speaker 4: And you also have some time to put your money
- 31:49Speaker 4: on the polymarket, okay? In case you don't know, polymarket
- 31:53Speaker 4: is where they do all these bets. And Offset has
- 31:56Speaker 4: found himself in the middle of it. And he is
- 31:59Speaker 4: putting his money behind candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former
- 32:03Speaker 4: mayor of Atlanta, who is now running for the governor
- 32:06Speaker 4: against Rick Jackson. Now, it is saying she is like
- 32:10Speaker 4: their difference is like a point or two. So y'all
- 32:13Speaker 4: need to get out there and vote for her so
- 32:14Speaker 4: Offset could get his money. OK, he's betting in the casino.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Y'all know he ain't got no more money on the
- 32:20Speaker 4: credit there. He gonna find a way to bet for something. And,
- 32:24Speaker 4: you know, let's keep it with the rappers. Nicki Minaj,
- 32:26Speaker 4: she is calling out another governor, the governor of New York,
- 32:29Speaker 4: saying that she is evil. Now, once upon a time,
- 32:31Speaker 4: Nicki Minaj was behind. She endorsed this governor, and that's
- 32:36Speaker 4: Kathy Hochul. Okay, and Kathy Hochul is like, look, I
- 32:39Speaker 4: don't got no time for Nicki Minaj shenanigans. Get that
- 32:43Speaker 4: up off me.
- 32:44Speaker 13: You know, I don't play games in this business.
- 32:45Speaker 4: This is serious.
- 32:46Speaker 13: And if people want to support me, they're welcome to.
- 32:49Speaker 13: Nikki Minaj supported me back when I ran for lieutenant governor. Oh,
- 32:52Speaker 13: she's been poisoned by Donald Trump. And so that is
- 32:55Speaker 13: an issue she has to deal with.
- 32:56Speaker 4: That's her choice.
- 32:57Speaker 13: I would say, you know, too much time at Trump
- 32:59Speaker 13: rallies is pretty bad for people's mental health.
- 33:03Speaker 4: I like how she clapped back. A lot of people
- 33:05Speaker 4: want Cardi B to endorse her. Do you think they
- 33:08Speaker 4: will really have an effect on the young voters?
- 33:10Speaker 2: I hope not. I do think there's always somebody that
- 33:14Speaker 2: is uninformed and they look to their advice from celebrities
- 33:17Speaker 2: like that. But I promise I hope not. I hope not.
- 33:21Speaker 4: Well, we shall see if Keisha Lynn Bottoms does win.
- 33:24Speaker 4: This will make her the first black woman governor of Georgia. So, y'all,
- 33:29Speaker 4: get out there and vote. You can make history. You
- 33:31Speaker 4: can make a difference. And your vote matters.
- 33:34Speaker 8: I'm L'Oreal.
- 33:35Speaker 4: That's the lowdown. You can follow me at Star and L'Oreal, L-O-R-E-L,
- 33:39Speaker 4: or Monazo Show.
- 33:40Speaker 2: All right, stick around, man. Santilli survey coming up. And
- 33:42Speaker 2: what do the numbers say about black voters getting out
- 33:46Speaker 2: and voting this election cycle? We'll talk about it in
- 33:49Speaker 2: a few. Don't move.
- 33:50Speaker 6: Hustle.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Yeah, baby, it's the morning hustle. You know how we
- 33:55Speaker 2: do it. It's election day. We are excited about everybody
- 33:59Speaker 2: getting out there and getting your vote together, man. Make
- 34:02Speaker 2: sure you vote today if you have not voted already. Lowell,
- 34:06Speaker 2: you voted already. I voted already. Alton voted already, correct?
- 34:10Speaker 4: Yep, I voted a long time ago. Y'all should have
- 34:12Speaker 4: been on it.
- 34:12Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
- 34:13Speaker 4: You still got time.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 34:14Speaker 4: You got time.
- 34:15Speaker 2: All right, time for another Santilli survey. Listen, man, I'm
- 34:20Speaker 2: actually loving these numbers. They say in North Carolina, 44%
- 34:22Speaker 2: of black voters have turned out in early voting, which
- 34:27Speaker 2: is dope. That's more than... Then people back in 2022
- 34:31Speaker 2: and in Georgia, Georgia, the numbers are about a third
- 34:34Speaker 2: of early voters are black voters as well. Thirty two
- 34:38Speaker 2: point four percent, which is dope. They're saying in Houston,
- 34:42Speaker 2: early voting nearly doubled in historic black acre homes and
- 34:46Speaker 2: Sunnyside versus twenty twenty two as well. So the numbers
- 34:51Speaker 2: are saying that according to this versus previous years, black
- 34:55Speaker 2: voters are pulling up looking very good in North Carolina, Georgia.
- 34:59Speaker 2: And in some parts of Texas as well. And I
- 35:01Speaker 2: love to see that. That's dope.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Yeah, but you whites need to get out there, too,
- 35:05Speaker 4: and vote the right way. It ain't all on us.
- 35:09Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying? That's right.
- 35:10Speaker 4: It ain't all on us. The Spanish, y'all need to
- 35:13Speaker 4: get out there. You know what it is. Flip these
- 35:16Speaker 4: states because we already see that it ain't going right
- 35:19Speaker 4: on that side.
- 35:20Speaker 2: No doubt. All right, that being said, we got a
- 35:22Speaker 2: guest to talk to us about the fact that today's
- 35:24Speaker 2: election day, he's very vocal when it comes to things
- 35:27Speaker 2: affecting the black community. You've seen him argue with Kanye.
- 35:30Speaker 2: You've seen his podcast, Higher Learning. Stick around. Van Lathan
- 35:33Speaker 2: is coming back up next on The Morning Hustle Show.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Don't move. Y'all know what it is. Morning Hustle in
- 35:41Speaker 2: the building. L'Oreal, Kyle Santillan, Alton Walker. And we got
- 35:45Speaker 2: our brother in the building, man. I love this guy.
- 35:48Speaker 2: I love the work that he's doing. Van Lathan Jr.
- 35:50Speaker 2: is in the building. What's up, bro? What's up, man?
- 35:52Speaker 2: How y'all doing? Good, man. It's a pleasure, bro. Pleasure
- 35:55Speaker 2: being here, man. So here you are. You're in this
- 35:57Speaker 2: position where you've become an amazing voice of the people.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Let's get to what's happening today. Today is Election Day.
- 36:04Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And what is your message
- 36:06Speaker 2: to people out there that are also what I'm looking for, man?
- 36:09Speaker 2: They did disgruntled or they don't believe they have a
- 36:11Speaker 2: voice and they feel like voting doesn't really work and
- 36:14Speaker 2: things of that nature. What's your message for those people?
- 36:16Speaker 2: My message to them is I understand.
- 36:18Speaker 14: Yeah, I can understand how you can look around in
- 36:20Speaker 14: some of your communities, how you can look around at
- 36:23Speaker 14: your life, the lives of people that you care about, your.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Homies, the women in your community, how they've been treated.
- 36:29Speaker 14: Some of the things that have gone on, some of
- 36:31Speaker 14: the environmental conditions that you live in, and think that
- 36:35Speaker 14: this society has been so engineered against you that there's
- 36:39Speaker 14: no way to fix it.
- 36:41Speaker 2: I get it. The issue is that that's not true.
- 36:44Speaker 14: The fundamental difference that I see between some of the
- 36:47Speaker 14: brothers that I share my community with back in Baton Rouge,
- 36:50Speaker 14: some other people that I meet when I'm away from home,
- 36:53Speaker 14: is that We don't yet have the belief that we
- 36:58Speaker 14: can make the world in our will the way we
- 37:01Speaker 14: see it.
- 37:02Speaker 6: Right.
- 37:02Speaker 14: That we can bend this society and this civilization to
- 37:06Speaker 14: our will. Like you vote because voting is you saying
- 37:11Speaker 14: what you want.
- 37:12Speaker 6: Right.
- 37:12Speaker 14: Voting is an order at a restaurant. You know, voting
- 37:15Speaker 14: is you getting something from Amazon. Voting is you choosing
- 37:19Speaker 14: which brand that you want in the grocery store. So
- 37:23Speaker 14: voting is you saying, this is the way I want
- 37:25Speaker 14: my world to be. And if you do that enough
- 37:28Speaker 14: times in enough different places in your life, the world
- 37:32Speaker 14: that you step into will look more like the one
- 37:34Speaker 14: that you want it to be.
- 37:35Speaker 2: For sure. And I always go back and forth and say, like,
- 37:38Speaker 2: you know, if our vote didn't matter. And we always
- 37:41Speaker 2: talk about how they wouldn't have tried to take away
- 37:43Speaker 2: our voting rights back in the day. But in twenty
- 37:45Speaker 2: twenty six, the whole redistricting thing is about taking away
- 37:49Speaker 2: our power to vote. Maybe they're not saying you can't vote,
- 37:52Speaker 2: but they're trying to break up the collective in which
- 37:54Speaker 2: we would all maybe vote.
- 37:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 37:56Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So that is diluted. And
- 37:58Speaker 2: these votes are going to go with this county or
- 38:00Speaker 2: that county rather than being counted collectively for this space.
- 38:04Speaker 6: Right.
- 38:04Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about a delay decision.
- 38:06Speaker 14: You're talking about the Kalei decision, the Supreme Court decision.
- 38:09Speaker 2: The Supreme Court.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:10Speaker 2: And not just in one place, but all these different
- 38:12Speaker 2: states when they were trying to redistrict. So you're absolutely right.
- 38:15Speaker 14: So the redistricting was them trying to make sure that
- 38:19Speaker 14: Trump could stack the deck.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Yes. And have what he wanted in the midterms.
- 38:23Speaker 14: The Kalei decision was the extension of a Supreme Court.
- 38:28Speaker 14: It was a Supreme Court decision, obviously, that was meant
- 38:31Speaker 14: to dilute those rights in Louisiana and all over the place.
- 38:33Speaker 14: So the two-pronged thing. Number one, redistricting. Number two, changing
- 38:37Speaker 14: the Interpretation of Voting Rights Act, right? All of that,
- 38:39Speaker 14: to your point, to assault our right to vote.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 38:43Speaker 14: I get that and I understand that. What I am
- 38:46Speaker 14: trying to do is actually reframe this argument.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Okay. Everyone who has ever said.
- 38:53Speaker 14: think about how important the vote is because they're trying
- 38:55Speaker 14: to take it is absolutely right.
- 38:57Speaker 2: And they know that.
- 38:58Speaker 6: All right.
- 38:58Speaker 4: So Van, we know today is election day. So what
- 39:01Speaker 4: should people have at top of mind when they get
- 39:04Speaker 4: to the polls?
- 39:05Speaker 14: What I am trying to get people to do is
- 39:07Speaker 14: not to think in terms of harm or harm reduction.
- 39:12Speaker 14: What do you want and how do you get it?
- 39:15Speaker 14: In order to do that, you have to be able
- 39:18Speaker 14: to design society the way you see it. What tax
- 39:20Speaker 14: rate do you want to play? What environmental standards do
- 39:23Speaker 14: you want in your community? What kind of D.A.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Do you want? It changes the perspective of the right.
- 39:28Speaker 2: I like that because now it goes from defensively trying
- 39:31Speaker 2: to protect and hold on to things versus no. What
- 39:34Speaker 2: do I want to add to my life? Absolutely. And
- 39:37Speaker 2: whereas the reason that we vote.
- 39:40Speaker 14: In terms of harm reduction, obviously that's a, we have
- 39:43Speaker 14: to do that sometimes, right?
- 39:45Speaker 2: Because we're under constant attack.
- 39:47Speaker 14: At the same time, even that is meant, in my opinion,
- 39:50Speaker 14: to take mental space from us thinking about this world
- 39:53Speaker 14: the way we would want to be.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Listen, man, Van Lathan hanging out with us today. We
- 39:57Speaker 2: appreciate you, bro. It is election day. We want people
- 40:00Speaker 2: to go out there and vote. A last word from
- 40:02Speaker 2: you for those people that are on the fence still.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Get off the fence. Ain't no time for the fence.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I'm going to start snatching fences. Don't make me like, hey, man,
- 40:11Speaker 2: I'm going to start. Y'all going to see me. I
- 40:13Speaker 2: don't care if it's a wood fence, if it's a
- 40:15Speaker 2: chain link. You're going to see me. I'm going to start.
- 40:17Speaker 2: I'm a fence snatcher. Get off the fence. For sure.
- 40:20Speaker 14: Choose the side and choose the side of your family,
- 40:23Speaker 14: of your community, of your life.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Choose the side of your water, your food. Choose yourself.
- 40:29Speaker 2: This country is yours. Go take it, man. No question.
- 40:34Speaker 2: And we're going to have you back soon because you're
- 40:36Speaker 2: part of the documentary, The 14th with Ava DuVernay. When
- 40:38Speaker 2: does that come out?
- 40:39Speaker 14: That comes out December 4th on Netflix. Go check it out, man.
- 40:43Speaker 14: I know y'all not going to forget that's Jay-Z's birthday.
- 40:45Speaker 14: I know y'all remember that. Listen, man, when it's time
- 40:47Speaker 14: for that to come back, we need you to come
- 40:48Speaker 14: back on. We'll talk about it.
- 40:49Speaker 2: I will, man. No problem. My man, appreciate it. Van Latham,
- 40:51Speaker 2: hanging out with us, man. More on the Hustle Show.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Whoever doesn't vote today, your mother's a hoe.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Oh, no, that's right.
- 41:01Speaker 2: What a hustle in the building, baby. It is election day.
- 41:03Speaker 2: We're trying to do anything to motivate y'all.
- 41:05Speaker 4: I don't think we can say that, Kyle.
- 41:06Speaker 6: We can't.
- 41:06Speaker 4: Let's start.
- 41:07Speaker 2: We can't say that?
- 41:08Speaker 4: I like it, though.
- 41:09Speaker 2: I like it. Well, you know what? We got somebody
- 41:11Speaker 2: on the line who can tell me whether or not
- 41:13Speaker 2: that should be said. Miss Erica Thomas is back to
- 41:16Speaker 2: hang out with us.
- 41:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 41:19Speaker 6: Ms.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Erica Thomas, the former Georgia State Representative, we love when
- 41:22Speaker 2: you come on because you have a very keep-it-real perspective
- 41:25Speaker 2: when it comes to politics.
- 41:27Speaker 4: That's right.
- 41:28Speaker 6: Well, it's time. It is the time. It is Election Day. Yes.
- 41:33Speaker 6: The good thing about it is that a lot of
- 41:35Speaker 6: Georgians have already voted.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Yes.
- 41:38Speaker 6: We are over 2.8 million Georgians have already voted, and
- 41:43Speaker 6: that is a record for a Georgia midtown.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Now, keep in mind, keep in mind, Erica, we are nationwide.
- 41:50Speaker 2: So Georgia is looking good. They're kind of leading the
- 41:52Speaker 2: way in a lot of aspects. But what are we
- 41:54Speaker 2: looking for for everybody across the country when it comes
- 41:57Speaker 2: to the black community?
- 41:58Speaker 6: Well, it's a lot at stake right now all over
- 42:01Speaker 6: the country. We've got the Senate that is the U.S.
- 42:05Speaker 6: Senate that is on the line right now. Even Congress
- 42:09Speaker 6: as a whole is on the line right now. You know,
- 42:11Speaker 6: the Republicans know that if we can flip Congress, that
- 42:16Speaker 6: the president will be impeached.
- 42:19Speaker 4: He has said it.
- 42:20Speaker 6: And so there's a lot on the line nationally when
- 42:24Speaker 6: it comes to this election. If you are tired of
- 42:27Speaker 6: what you have seen in the past few years, Are
- 42:30Speaker 6: you tired of waking up and thinking that you are
- 42:33Speaker 6: in the twilight zone? Today is the day to say,
- 42:37Speaker 6: you know what?
- 42:38Speaker 4: No more.
- 42:39Speaker 6: I am tired of waking up and seeing craziness on TV.
- 42:43Speaker 6: And inflation is at an all time high in every
- 42:47Speaker 6: single state in America.
- 42:49Speaker 4: So if they go to vote, not if, because we
- 42:51Speaker 4: want them to really get out there and go do that.
- 42:53Speaker 4: But when they go to vote, what should they have
- 42:56Speaker 4: in hand?
- 42:57Speaker 6: Everything is at your fingertips. You can go to Ballotpedia
- 43:02Speaker 6: right now. Go to Ballotpedia.com and you can see all
- 43:06Speaker 6: of the candidates, what they stand for, what they don't

- 43:13Speaker 2: Because that says a lot about a candidate.

- 43:19Speaker 6: to Ballotpedia right now. You also can go to vote.org
- 43:24Speaker 6: and find out exactly where your precinct is.

- 43:27Speaker 4: You know what's scary about one of the things you said?
- 43:29Speaker 4: You said that you can even see the money that's
- 43:31Speaker 4: back behind these people. I did read somewhere that Rick Jackson,
- 43:35Speaker 4: he's running for the governor of You know what? That's
- 43:39Speaker 4: a great point that you put. You know, money has
- 43:42Speaker 4: a lot to do with it and raising money.
- 43:58Speaker 6: And some people say, well, why does money have a
- 43:59Speaker 6: lot to do with it?
- 44:00Speaker 4: I'm going to vote for who I want to vote for.
- 44:01Speaker 6: But if you don't know about your candidate, if you
- 44:03Speaker 6: don't know about your candidate and you don't know who
- 44:06Speaker 6: to vote for, then that's what money has to do
- 44:09Speaker 6: with it.
- 44:09Speaker 4: These people are putting money into commercials.
- 44:12Speaker 6: They're putting money into mailers.
- 44:13Speaker 4: And I'm sure people have.

- 44:35Speaker 6: For any state And get your voter file Once you're
- 44:37Speaker 6: registered So that's how They got your number.
- 44:39Speaker 2: All right, so let me ask you this, man. Last question,
- 44:41Speaker 2: and we got to let you go. But Ms. Erica Thomas,
- 44:44Speaker 2: when the results start coming in tonight, what's the first
- 44:47Speaker 2: race that you're going to be watching, trying to see
- 44:49Speaker 2: the results from?
- 44:50Speaker 6: I'm looking federal.
- 44:51Speaker 4: I'm looking federal.
- 44:52Speaker 6: I am looking at the Senate race here in Georgia.
- 44:55Speaker 6: I'm looking at the Senate race in South Carolina, North Carolina.
- 44:58Speaker 6: I'm looking at the Senate races all over the country
- 45:03Speaker 6: because if we can flip that, we're just a few
- 45:07Speaker 6: members away from fliping. If we can flip the Senate, right,
- 45:11Speaker 6: then we can stop some of the things that Trump
- 45:14Speaker 6: is doing or all of the things that Trump is doing.
- 45:17Speaker 4: Right.
- 45:18Speaker 6: But I'm telling you, if you're voting down ballot and
- 45:20Speaker 6: you stop at your state representative or you stop just
- 45:24Speaker 6: at your governor and you don't go down to that
- 45:26Speaker 6: Senate and that Congress race, I'm going to get my
- 45:29Speaker 6: belt out.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Right. That's right. Well, listen, we appreciate you. We can't
- 45:36Speaker 2: wait to see the results of everything today. And thank
- 45:38Speaker 2: you for being a repeat guest on our show. Once again,
- 45:41Speaker 2: this is the former Georgia State Representative, Miss Erica Thomas,
- 45:44Speaker 2: hanging out with us. And again, we're going to be
- 45:46Speaker 2: glued to the TV just like you. Thank you for
- 45:48Speaker 2: your time.
- 45:48Speaker 6: All right. See you all later.
- 45:50Speaker 4: All right. Thank you. All right, man.
- 45:52Speaker 2: We appreciate Miss Erica Thomas for hanging out with us.
- 45:54Speaker 2: We got to continue on and do what we do.
- 45:56Speaker 2: Coming up next, the lowdown is on the way. L'Oreal,
- 45:58Speaker 2: what you got?
- 45:59Speaker 4: This family never ceases to amaze me. And let's just
- 46:02Speaker 4: say it gets real gangsta in Philly. And we'll talk
- 46:07Speaker 4: all about what's Philadelphia to be exact. We'll talk all
- 46:10Speaker 4: about it coming up in the lowdown.
- 46:11Speaker 2: That's on the way.
- 46:13Speaker 4: L'Oreal has the lowdown. Yeah, you got the lowdown. On
- 46:16Speaker 4: the Morning Hustle.
- 46:20Speaker 2: All right, I've been waiting on this, man. Who's keeping
- 46:21Speaker 2: it real out of West Philly? Let's talk about it.
- 46:24Speaker 4: Well, we know an A-2, Kyle Santelli.
- 46:26Speaker 2: Hey, don't do that.
- 46:27Speaker 4: But we will get to that in just a second. First,
- 46:30Speaker 4: something that's not so funny. We have some details on
- 46:34Speaker 4: that plane crash that happened in West Palm Beach now.
- 46:37Speaker 4: There was some audio released of a 20-year-old co-pilot as
- 46:43Speaker 4: the plane was going down.
- 46:45Speaker 2: 722BD, we're descending 8,000, mayday mayday, we're descending 10,000 feet
- 46:47Speaker 2: per minute.
- 46:50Speaker 4: Come to find out, it was a whole family on
- 46:54Speaker 4: that private jet. The husband, the wife, Helen Sharp, the husband,
- 46:59Speaker 4: Adam Robertson, their daughter, who was four, their son, Charlie,
- 47:03Speaker 4: who was two, two family friends. The pilot was actually
- 47:07Speaker 4: 55 years old. His name is Jeffrey Gregory. And as
- 47:11Speaker 4: I said, the co-pilot who you just heard, she apparently
- 47:15Speaker 4: got her pilot's license in high school, was very excited.
- 47:20Speaker 4: about flying, but text her boyfriend about 10 minutes before
- 47:24Speaker 4: the plane went down saying that they had ice and turbulence.
- 47:29Speaker 4: But we do want to send our thoughts, our prayers
- 47:32Speaker 4: out to, you know, their families. It was a nanny.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Their nanny was on there. The whole entire family. sending
- 47:39Speaker 4: prayers out now let's talk about kanye west he made
- 47:42Speaker 4: history performing in houston this past weekend during halloween and
- 47:48Speaker 4: that was all because he had the highest stadium attendance
- 47:53Speaker 4: for a rap concert period over 80 000 fans came
- 47:57Speaker 4: to see him in houston and guess who was in
- 48:00Speaker 4: attendance trying to be incognito who that drake was there
- 48:18Speaker 4: Did you hear Drake?
- 48:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I did.
- 48:20Speaker 4: He was singing, too.
- 48:21Speaker 2: I heard him.
- 48:24Speaker 4: Well, the two of them have officially buried the hatchet.
- 48:27Speaker 4: We know that they did have that Larry Hoover concert
- 48:31Speaker 4: where they collided in forces, but seems like the two
- 48:35Speaker 4: of them are doing better than ever because why would
- 48:38Speaker 4: Drake go out of his way to go see Kanye
- 48:40Speaker 4: perform in Houston?
- 48:41Speaker 5: No.
- 48:41Speaker 4: You know, also Kanye is getting back to the runway
- 48:45Speaker 4: and it looks like tomorrow he will be having a
- 48:47Speaker 4: pop up fashion show and Yeezy will be back. OK,
- 48:53Speaker 4: he will be relaunching his clothing line and people are
- 48:56Speaker 4: excited for it. I mean, I spent a lot of
- 48:58Speaker 4: money with the Yeezys when he had the Adidas and
- 49:01Speaker 4: all that. And then it got a little janky because
- 49:04Speaker 4: I ordered some from him. They was like two hundred
- 49:07Speaker 4: dollars and I wore them once and it ripped.
- 49:09Speaker 2: Yep, them socks. Them damn socks.
- 49:11Speaker 4: Them socks. So apparently he went back to the drawing
- 49:14Speaker 4: board and he's getting things going, even though I know
- 49:16Speaker 4: he owns Skims. Like, you walk in Skims, it... reeks
- 49:20Speaker 4: of Kanye West. And I do. That's the only thing
- 49:23Speaker 4: I support from Kim Kardashian because, you know, I don't
- 49:26Speaker 4: like that. Hilarious.
- 49:27Speaker 5: Anyway.
- 49:28Speaker 4: Last but not least, your favorite, he is back in
- 49:32Speaker 4: the headlines. This family never ceases to amaze me, the
- 49:35Speaker 4: Smith family. Yes, I'm talking about Jada and Will, okay?
- 49:40Speaker 4: So they've been battling it out with their longtime friend
- 49:44Speaker 4: and confidant, Bilal Salam. I know y'all been hearing this.
- 49:48Speaker 4: He has a lawsuit currently against the family where he
- 49:51Speaker 4: said they tried to reach out to him to help
- 49:54Speaker 4: them during that whole Chris Rock slap. Well, apparently he, Bilal,
- 49:59Speaker 4: was gearing up to write a tell all memoir. And
- 50:03Speaker 4: a lot of it was going to include his relationship
- 50:06Speaker 4: with the Smith family. He's known them over 20 something years.
- 50:10Speaker 4: And that means he has a lot of tea. OK, well,
- 50:13Speaker 4: he is now suing.
- 50:15Speaker 6: Damn.
- 50:15Speaker 4: And guess what?
- 50:16Speaker 6: What?
- 50:17Speaker 4: He went to Will and told him all about it,
- 50:19Speaker 4: and he said, well, you heard what my wife said.
- 50:22Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 50:36Speaker 4: I don't really know what's up with Will Smith, but
- 50:39Speaker 4: do you think he's going to get away with this?
- 50:41Speaker 4: Is Jada going to get away with this? Or is
- 50:43Speaker 4: that $ 3 million in the bag for Bilal right now?
- 50:46Speaker 2: Obviously, Bilal is wrong. Because anytime you try to accuse
- 50:50Speaker 2: Will Smith of something, then you just need to look
- 50:52Speaker 2: at yourself in the mirror and say, hey, maybe I'm
- 50:54Speaker 2: the problem.
- 50:55Speaker 4: Um, I doubt it. Okay. I do feel like there's
- 50:59Speaker 4: some validity here. It's like this man, whatever he said
- 51:03Speaker 4: they did, they did that ish.
- 51:04Speaker 6: Okay.
- 51:04Speaker 4: And I believe that Baltimore came out of Jada. You know,
- 51:08Speaker 4: every time Tupac birthday come around, she gets the, you get,
- 51:11Speaker 4: she get a little more thug and her passion. So
- 51:14Speaker 4: I don't, I'm not sure. I believe that they should
- 51:17Speaker 4: just pay this man to be quiet. Cause clearly that's
- 51:20Speaker 4: what he's looking for a payday. But I also believe
- 51:23Speaker 4: they did that. Okay, they both wrong. I'm L'Oreal, that's
- 51:27Speaker 4: the lowdown. Must be the West Philly in them. You
- 51:30Speaker 4: can follow me at Star and L'Oreal, L-O-R-E-L, or Moana
- 51:34Speaker 4: Hustle Show. Who you threaten lately, Kyle? I know how
- 51:36Speaker 4: y'all are over there in Philly.
- 51:37Speaker 2: I don't be threatening nobody. I keep things very peaceful. Yeah, aight.
- 51:42Speaker 2: You know what? You know who else is out here
- 51:44Speaker 2: keeping it peaceful, except for when it comes to fighting
- 51:47Speaker 2: for our people, is Miss Angela Rye. When we come back, yo,
- 51:51Speaker 2: she's going to join us for Santilli News You Can Use.
- 51:53Speaker 2: Stick around. Angela Rye is on the way. We are
- 51:59Speaker 2: the Morning Hustle. Morning Hustle show. L'Oreal, Kyle Santillan, Alton Walker.
- 52:04Speaker 2: And yes, today is all about voting. And we got
- 52:07Speaker 2: somebody that's holding it down for us today. She is
- 52:10Speaker 2: so knowledgeable in all these things when it comes to politics.
- 52:13Speaker 2: And sometimes, you know, she got to let you know.
- 52:15Speaker 2: If you ain't never been on Capitol Hill, don't come
- 52:17Speaker 2: around here talking that junk.
- 52:19Speaker 6: Period.
- 52:19Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 52:20Speaker 6: Don't do that.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Ha ha ha. Nah, she's a friend to the show, man.
- 52:26Speaker 2: Miss Angela Rye is here on the line today. Thank
- 52:30Speaker 2: you so much. They are giving you a little bit
- 52:32Speaker 2: of hell right now on that comment, though, no?
- 52:35Speaker 3: Well, you know what happens. It's really difficult to have
- 52:39Speaker 3: a TED Talk level conversation in clickbait culture.
- 52:42Speaker 2: Talk about it.
- 52:44Speaker 3: Hopefully when there's more time and I can, you know,
- 52:48Speaker 3: be there with y'all, we can.
- 52:49Speaker 6: Talk about what's really going on.
- 52:51Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 52:51Speaker 3: But there's so much tension being caused online and so
- 52:56Speaker 3: much of it is exacerbated by electronic forces. Doesn't mean
- 53:02Speaker 3: it's not real human emotion.
- 53:04Speaker 6: Right.
- 53:04Speaker 12: But we have to be more.
- 53:07Speaker 3: Aware and discerning about how we engage online. And that
- 53:11Speaker 3: applies to me, too.
- 53:12Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
- 53:14Speaker 6: All right.
- 53:14Speaker 2: Well, let's get to it.
- 53:15Speaker 4: Today is Election Day. And this is very crucial. It's
- 53:18Speaker 4: very important for us. And there still are some of
- 53:21Speaker 4: our listeners that have not went out there and voted.
- 53:24Speaker 4: I can't believe this. Even in this climate, they haven't
- 53:27Speaker 4: gone out and voted. What do you have to say
- 53:29Speaker 4: to those people, Angela?
- 53:32Speaker 3: You know, honestly, Gloria, what comes to mind is what
- 53:35Speaker 3: is it going to take? We have watched headline after
- 53:40Speaker 3: headline talking about SNAP benefits being cut from our elders
- 53:45Speaker 3: and these.
- 53:45Speaker 12: Kids that can't get lunch.
- 53:48Speaker 6: At schools anymore.
- 53:49Speaker 12: SNAP benefits are food stamps with the EBT cards in
- 53:52Speaker 12: case y'all missed it. We can look at health care
- 53:55Speaker 12: costs rising, prescription.
- 53:57Speaker 3: Drug costs rising, the number of black women, black men
- 54:00Speaker 3: who have lost.
- 54:01Speaker 12: Their jobs under this administration. Issue after issue.
- 54:06Speaker 6: Right.
- 54:07Speaker 12: They got menstrual costumes on the shelves at Target. So
- 54:12Speaker 12: businesses are just as culpable as the government, but what
- 54:15Speaker 12: is it going to take for us to lift every
- 54:18Speaker 12: butt and vote? Not lift every voice and.
- 54:20Speaker 4: Sing, lift every butt and vote, right?
- 54:23Speaker 2: Get your ass up off the couch, right.
- 54:24Speaker 4: Right?
- 54:25Speaker 3: Like, come on.
- 54:27Speaker 12: So I want us to be aware that things can
- 54:29Speaker 12: get worse.
- 54:30Speaker 3: And I have to.
- 54:33Speaker 12: Harm reduction environment, but we can't get to thrive if
- 54:37Speaker 12: we don't survive.
- 54:38Speaker 2: For sure.
- 54:38Speaker 4: Right.
- 54:39Speaker 2: Now, Angela, let me ask you this because one of
- 54:41Speaker 2: the big things we want to make sure people are
- 54:42Speaker 2: informed about is, and maybe you can help, what should
- 54:45Speaker 2: voters do if they get to the polling place? They
- 54:48Speaker 2: get to go out there to cast their vote and
- 54:50Speaker 2: then they have a problem. They're telling them something's wrong.
- 54:52Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Whatever the issue may be,
- 54:54Speaker 2: we know this climate, they've been trying to deter us
- 54:56Speaker 2: from voting. So what should people do if they hit
- 54:58Speaker 2: a problem at the polling place?
- 55:00Speaker 3: Well, the first thing that I want to say is
- 55:03Speaker 3: troubles may come. And what that means is if they're
- 55:06Speaker 3: trying to stop you from voting, that the power they
- 55:09Speaker 3: tell you you don't have is actually in your hands.
- 55:13Speaker 3: And the most important thing you can do when the
- 55:15Speaker 3: line is long is to stand. The most important thing
- 55:17Speaker 3: you can do when challenged is to fight back. Not physically, y'all.
- 55:20Speaker 4: Don't go to jail.
- 55:21Speaker 12: But advocate for your ability to exercise your franchise. There
- 55:27Speaker 12: are so many people who came before us. I know
- 55:29Speaker 12: your show's in Atlanta. John Lewis is on, you know,
- 55:34Speaker 12: mural after mural.
- 55:35Speaker 3: Getting into good trouble, almost losing his life to ensure
- 55:38Speaker 3: that we could vote.
- 55:40Speaker 12: And just this year, the Supreme Court.
- 55:42Speaker 6: Gutted the Voting Rights.
- 55:44Speaker 12: Act even more to make it more difficult for us
- 55:47Speaker 12: to vote. So you have to fight. Now, there are
- 55:49Speaker 12: attorneys who are standing waiting to assist you all over
- 55:52Speaker 12: the country today. There's a hotline for election protection. You
- 55:56Speaker 12: can reach them at 866-OUR-VOTE. O-U-R-V-O-T-E. Now, I don't got
- 56:03Speaker 12: the numbers, but y'all got to look that up on
- 56:05Speaker 12: your phone. If you look on your screen like, now,
- 56:07Speaker 12: where is the O on the keypad?
- 56:09Speaker 2: Right.
- 56:09Speaker 4: Make sure, like, that's in the day.
- 56:11Speaker 12: You stare at that keypad and you figure out where
- 56:13Speaker 12: the letter aligns with the number. In fact, I'm going.
- 56:16Speaker 4: To do it.
- 56:17Speaker 5: It's 866.
- 56:17Speaker 6: I'll vote.
- 56:18Speaker 4: I'm going to do it right now.
- 56:19Speaker 12: That is 687.
- 56:22Speaker 4: 8-6-8-3.
- 56:25Speaker 2: Well, last question for you because we know people are
- 56:27Speaker 2: watching the election. The People's Election Night tonight, you're going
- 56:30Speaker 2: to be on. How can people watch what you're covering
- 56:33Speaker 2: when it comes to the election?
