• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hold up.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Every day I wake up.
• 0:03
  Speaker 3: Wake your ass up. The Breakfast Club. Y'all finished or
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: y'all done? Morning, everybody.
• 0:07
  Speaker 4: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: The Breakfast Club. Lonely Rose is here as well. So
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: is our sister, Angela Rye. We got a special guest
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: in the building. He's running for governor of Florida. Ladies
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: and gentlemen, we have Byron Donalds.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Welcome, brother.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: It's good to be back. You know, it's good to
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: be with y'all. How you feeling? It's hard not to
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: be in the studio.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because last time you was in studio,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Angela Rye was on Zoom. Now you on Zoom and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Angela Rye's in studio.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, look, if I had known, I would
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: have made a special trip to NYC just for that. Angela,
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: it's good to be back with you. It's been a
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: long time.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Indeed.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You know, Byron, you're running for governor. I saw recently
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: David Jolly. He described your policies as anti-black. Now, you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: are a black man running to become the first black
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: governor of Florida. So when you heard a white political opponent,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: make that accusation, what's your immediate reaction?
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Gaslighting.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: The same craziness that happens in every election cycle. When
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: you're a Republican and you have, you know, conservative principles,
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, David Jolly is somebody who, you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: has switched parties. He's done everything. He's been trying to
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: find a political home for 10 years. But what he
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: knows in Florida is that he's been losing Black voters
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: to me. So, you know, his only response was to
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: try to use race and the issues around race in politics.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: for voters to have a second guess about being able
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: to support me, specifically black voters in the state of Florida.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: But I just think it's the same type of gaslighting
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: that happens every single election cycle. If you look at
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: what I'm talking about in the state of Florida, it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: lowering insurance costs, lowering housing costs. When it comes to
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: our kids, we want them to master math, reading and writing.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: For the children in our state who aren't going to
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: the universities in our state, which by the way, are
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: the best universities.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: In the country.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: We want them to be able to get apprenticeships and internships.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: So they can have the on the drop training skills
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: they need to be able to get a high paying
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: job coming out of high school with no student debt.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Those are the things that I talk about in this
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: campaign every single day. If that's anti-black, then I don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: know what to tell you. But the truth of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: matter is he's gaslighting because he knows he's losing a
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: lot of black voters to me in Florida.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Well, he says his criticism wasn't about your race, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: more so about your positions on like voting rights and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: DEI and minority business funding, HBCUs. Like which of those
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: criticisms do you believe he has wrong? And what's the evidence?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Well, to be blunt, he's got them all wrong. When
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: I was on your show, we talked about the Voting
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Rights Act before. I know Angela and I went back
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: and forth on that. What I'll quickly tell you is
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: if you look at Georgia's voting law, and I remember
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, you had every Democrat in
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the country saying that Georgia's voting law was Jim Crow 2.0.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: But if you look at the outcome of that, Georgia
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: has more black people voting in their elections today than
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: they've ever had in the history of that state.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And you think that's because of the.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: State of Florida. Angela, come on. I'm not going to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: do it back and forth with you today.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: If you talk about what's happening in Florida right now, in.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Florida, we have the same election laws that they have
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: in the state of Georgia. Black people in the state
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: of Florida have no issues voting. If you want to
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: talk about minority business.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: We want to make sure that there's capital formation today
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: in our country.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I'm making my final point, Angela. If you want to
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: talk about HBCUs and.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: FAMU, Then at FAMU, when I was in the statehouse,
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I actually helped them receive $ 25 million to build their
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: student access building.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I want FAMU to be an R1 institution.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: However, FAMU has been underfunded to the tune of $ 2 billion.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: However....
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Georgia has a voting law that is in the center
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: of controversy. And you're talking about more voters turned out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: They're turning out because they're frustrated. They're turning out because
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: their voting rights have been challenged. They're turning out because
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: in the Calais decision before the Supreme Court this year, the.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Voting Rights Act was fully gutted.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: And you haven't said anything to stand in the gap
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: for the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The very reason
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: why you can be sitting there right now in that
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: blue suit with that Florida pin. So I'm not going
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: back and forth with you either. But don't just use
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: words without facts, Byron. So let's be very clear about
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: what's actually happening with Georgia. No, let let us get
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: into it. But let us get into it with facts.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: So when we talk about reparations, Byron, you don't support that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: When we talk about affirmative action, Byron, you don't support that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: When we talk about access to education, health care, all
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: of these other things, diversity, equity and inclusion, you don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: support that. You went to FAMU to make a social
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: media post, but you have never fully supported the funding
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: of Florida A & M University.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: None of what you just said is true. Okay, Byron,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: then we'll pull the receipts.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And this time, don't pull out a fake piece of paper.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Angela, do you want to argue or do you want
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: to talk?
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: No, what I want to do, Byron, is have a
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: factual conversation. It's something that you have demonstrated.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: The lack of capacity to do for some time.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Angela, two years ago, I.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Bought you on the facts and everybody saw it nationwide.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: No, Byron, let's actually talk about what happened.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: You hired a firm by the name of X Strategies
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: to boost your posts with.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Bot farms and spam accounts.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It's not about If you want to argue, we can argue.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Let's have conversations, guys. Rebuttal, Byron.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Number one, like I told you, when I was in
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: the state legislature and FAMU needed $ 25 million to build
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: their student access building, I worked with Democrats in the
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: legislative chamber. Chevron Jones, Ramon Alexander, both went to FAMU
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: and I worked with them to.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Make sure that was a reality.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Today, the president of FAMU, Marva Johnson, her goal is
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: to make FAMU a research institution, an R1 institution. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: share that goal, and I want to make sure that
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: they can achieve that goal. If you're talking about the
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: private HBCUs in the state of Florida, Bethune-Cookman University, Florida Memorial,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Edward Waters, I've met with all of their presidents already,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: and we want to make sure that they have the
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: necessary funding through the EASE grants to help their students
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: be able to sustain themselves at those HBCUs. If you
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: want to talk about the $ 1. 9 billion that came up
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: in the report, Angela, I did not vote on that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know how that occurred. My commitment is that
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: we're going to read that study and the ways that
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: we can make sure FAMU gets the funding that they need,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: then they will get that funding because we want all
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: of our universities to be funded and be prepared for
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: the students in our state. That's my commitment as the
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: state's next governor. If you want to talk about Calais.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Let's be very clear. Well, can you pause there for
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: just a moment on FAMU?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: You want to stop me?
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You want to stop me or let me finish?
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Because I let you run through four things, Angela. Angela,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I let you run through four things.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Let me respond to Calais and then I'm going to stop.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I know you don't like to be challenged factually.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: But it's just a quick point of clarification. Let me
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: respond to Calais and I'm going to let you talk, Angela.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: Are you going to ensure that FAMU gets $ 2 billion?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Angela, that's what I just said.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I want to read that study and fully understand it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I've heard about the study, but I've not reviewed it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: As governor, I have a responsibility.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Which means that you are going to look into it,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: but you're not committing to it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: To make sure that, Angela, you're not letting me answer.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: The question, but that's okay.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: No, we're not. Because I have a fiduciary responsibility as
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Florida's next governor. Which means that's not a yes. Anybody
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: can just say things from the stump.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: The truth of the matter is you have to review
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: the study, look at what was done, and then make
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: the necessary adjustments to repair that funding gap. That's the
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: way this is done, Angela. It's easy just to say it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: in an interview, the hard thing is to be direct
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: and honest about what you're going to do.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So you think David Jolly is just saying this? Because
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I saw him say that he would give $ 500 billion
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a year for the next four years to make sure they.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Get $ 500 million a year. He doesn't even know where
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: he's going to get that money from. Let me explain
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: to you why.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: In David Jolly's own website, on his campaign promises, he
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: has promised what they call TDT dollars. These are tourist
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: development tax dollars. for everything from his sovereign wealth fund
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: and insurance to raising teacher pay to actually making this
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: funding gap whole. He's promised the same tax dollar four
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: different ways. The truth of the matter is in Florida,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: those tourist development tax dollars are local government taxes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: They're not state taxes.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: He would have to put a ballot initiative on the
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: ballot for the people of Florida to take those local
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: powers into the state government. So this is what I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: talking about when you just throw talking points out there
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: that sound good Versus actually having a strategy of how.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: You're going to accomplish the goal. This is what he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: done the entire time.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: The reason why he refused to debate me in this
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: campaign is because he knows and I know that he
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: can't even pay for all the promises he's made. When
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: I talk about policy, we make sure that we've accounted
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: for the dollars before we even say what we're going
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: to do. But I want to roll back because I've
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: got to touch Calais real quick. CalA's decision was clear,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: that in the United States of America, there will be
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: no more racial gerrymandering.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: But I'm gonna be even to a finer point.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: In South Florida, we had a historically black and a
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: deep black congressional district. There were four black candidates that
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: ran and Debbie Washerman Schultz. Debbie Washerman Schultz, a Democrat,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: did not get out of that race so that that
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: congressional district could have black representation. She ran knowing that
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: she would split the vote with the other four black candidates.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: And now she's going to Congress representing a black district.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: I didn't see Democrats anywhere in the country or here
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: in Florida say anything about Debbie Washerman Schultz taking away
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: a black.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Congressional district from a potential black member. They did not
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: say anything, Angela.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: When you talk to black voters in.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Broward County and North Miami, that's what they bring up today.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Those are the facts.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: There were more black people raising hell about Debbie Wasserman
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Schultz then you.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Can count the democratic party did do that as.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Well luke campbell you're just making stuff up and because.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: You know i'm not angela the democrat let me tell
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: you let me tell you who runs the florida democrat party.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Didn't say a word luke campbell.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: She runs she runs the democrat party of florida.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: And i don't agree with her nine times out of
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: ten that's not my point you said no yes he
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: was running in the seat he talked about it there
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: are several other people that Black Caucus chair talked about it,
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: refused to endorse her.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? You're making stuff up.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: The Democrat Party didn't say a word.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But let me tell you why we got there. No, no, no, Byron,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: be honest about this. Be honest about this. Why did
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Debbie Wasserman Schultz stop?
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Why did Debbie Wasserman Schultz have to run in that seat?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Debbie, you got to ask her. Don't ask me.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, Byron. You're squishy, but.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I can squeeze. You're squishy, but I can squeeze. Let
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: me help you. Let me help you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: I know you didn't get to debate David Jolly, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: you're going to answer these questions. Why did Debbie Wasserman
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Schultz have to run in that seat?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Who redrew the lines? Why did Angie Nixon catch a case?
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Because you don't want to have to answer this.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: No, no, you don't want.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: To have to answer this. Because what happened, Byron? Byron,
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: what happened, Byron?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Byron, let me answer it for.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You because you're having a hard time. I will keep
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: talking over.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: You because you're trying to gaslight.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: The voters and you're trying to gaslight the listeners.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: The reason Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to run in.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: That district is because the Florida state legislature redrew the
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: lines of the district, Byron.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That is a Republican construct.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: The racial gerrymandering that you criticized Calais for, that you
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: celebrated Calais for trying to eliminate is the very thing
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Florida did. And what you're saying is that you're going
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: to be a rubber stamp and a do-guy in for
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump and to continue on.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: In these racist policies. That's what you're saying.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: What I'm saying is that the Democrats love to talk
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: about racial representation until it gets in the way of
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Democrat power.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: And so the question at the top of this whole thing,
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: you had Jolly running his mouth, saying his stupidness.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: And I get it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: We're in the middle of election season. It's election day
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: here in Florida. People are going to get out and vote.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: But my position on this has been crystal clear for
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: a very long time. The Democrats love talking about black
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: representation until it's time to talk about Democrat power. And
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: the only thing they then care about is Democrat power
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: over black representation. And I can cite time after time
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: after time. Debbie Washington shows us the latest of them
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: all when this has happened.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Byron, this is my last question. I saw David Jolly compare.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: He compared you if you won. the race and became
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: governor of Florida, he compared that to Clarence Thomas becoming
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice because his argument is that making
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: history as a Black person doesn't automatically mean you're advancing
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Black interests. Do you agree with that principle?
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: First of all, once again, the man's gaslighting.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Everybody knows that there are a lot of Black people
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: who don't agree with Justice Thomas, but that doesn't take
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: away from the fact that Justice Thomas does sit on
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: the Supreme Court. Look, if we could have a conversation
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: about the various policies, obviously Angela and I have many differences.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: We've done that multiple times now. But the truth of
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the matter is, is that David Jolly has to say
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: something like that because once again, he knows he's been
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: losing black voters to me in the state of Florida.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: If you look at the policies that we talked about
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: at the beginning of this interview, the policies that I
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: am going to implement as Florida's next governor, those policies
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: will actually allow for black kids in North Miami, black
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: kids in Little Haiti, black kids in Broward County to
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: to be able to build something in their lifetimes, to
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: be able to build a great family, potentially build a
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: business and pass that on to the next generation.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm running on. That's what I'm standing on.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: David Jolly has the gaslight in our state because he
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: knows without black voters, he has no path of winning.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: And I find that to be very unfortunate and despicable,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: but that's where we are.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Angela, would you like to close with anything?
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: Yes, I hope that the Florida voters equip themselves with
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: the facts today because people sound good. Doesn't necessarily mean
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: that they're telling you the truth. It's really important here
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: that we talk about the SNAP benefits that are being
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: cut and what people are going to be able to
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: do to afford their groceries, to be able to afford housing,
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: to be paid the wages they deserve. And as black
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: men and black women are suffering historical unemployment rates.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: We need to have solutions that move us forward.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: And we can't do that with people who won't even
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: be honest about what their actually policy positions are and
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: have to study what the outcome is when folks are suffering.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Closing words, Byron?
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I actually agree with Angela because David Jolly won't even
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: talk about his policies. He said that two days ago
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: in Sarasota to the voters. He said he'll talk about
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: the policies tomorrow. But Election Day is today. The policies
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: matter today. I've talked about my policies every single day
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: on the trail. David Jolly refuses to. So I actually
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: agree with Angela on that one.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Byron, thank you for calling in, Byron. All right. Take
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: it easy. Have a good one. All right. Well, Solomon,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: you got a positive note?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I do have a positive note.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Your positive note is about voting. Well, first of all,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Angela Rye, tonight, election night.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry. I'm a little hot.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Why? We got to check your blood pressure.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: I just, I think for me, y'all know, like, there's
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: nothing worse than being lied to. I think a positive
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: note is telling the truth. And tonight, We're given the
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: opportunity to bring people in to a discussion around the
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: importance of this election. We're doing that with people who
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: touch electoral politics every single day and some folks who
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: don't as much. And I'm thrilled because the legendary Ed Gordon,
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: as you guys have pointed out throughout, is going to
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: join us talking to the audience, hearing what they feel
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: like they need to do to tap into their power.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: We'll be eight to midnight live in New York tomorrow.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: And we'll be sharing that address with folks who want
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: to come and register. And then we also will be
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: live on YouTube. So I can't thank you all enough
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: for doing this and partnering and for all you do
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: to make sure that people can access this really important information.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: What's the website?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: It is, thank you, peopleselectionnight.com.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Peopleselectionnight.com.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: That's right. Now you have some positivity? I do. Go vote, y'all. Okay?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Our political leaders will know our priorities only if we
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: tell them again and again and if those priorities begin
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to show up in the polls.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: So go vote. Have a great day.
