  Speaker 1: everybody is dj n V.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: law and Rosa is filling in for Jess. And we
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: have our sister Angela Rae with us this morning helping
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: us out. And we got some special guests joining us.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: We have doctor Jill Stein welcome, hello, and doctor Butch.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Where good wepening, Yes, good morning in the building.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Y'all are a Green Party presidential candidate in running mate,
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Tell the people what is the Green Party and how
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: are they different from the Democrats and the republic.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: Well, for one thing, we don't take money from billionaires
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: and bankers in APAC and Wall Street and the war machine.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: So we're a people powered party. That's what makes us
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: totally different. That's what liberates us to actually tell it
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: like it is and to stand up and fight for
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: the people, for the healthcare that we need as a
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: human right, for the housing that we need. Because half
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: half of America right now, half of all renters, are
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: struggling to keep a roof over their heads. That's not
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: a surprise, I'm sure to the listener on this program.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: You know, eighty seven million people don't have the health
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: care that we need. Our schools are in crisis. We
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: got forty four million people carrying student debt, and you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: and a climate crisis. Yet we're spending half of our
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: congressional dollars on the endless war machine, bringing us the
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: likes of the genocide in Gaza and beyond. We got
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: three you know, nuclear wars in the making right now.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: You know, this is where our dollars are going half
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: of our congressional budget. It's twelve thousand dollars on average
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: per household in America to keep this endless war machine
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: going right now. Yet we have such urgent and dire needs,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: especially among communities of color and African Americans. We've got
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: really critical needs that we need to be meeting. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: that's what the Green Party is about, actually fighting for people,
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: planet and peace over profit.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: What would you say to people that feel like the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Green Party is really taking votes away from Democrats and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it's a disrupt a lot of people, especially a lot
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of older people. When you talk about other parties outside
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of Republican and Democrats, they say, oh, all they're doing
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: is being disrupting. They're just taking the votes away from
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: other parties. What are your thoughts on that?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: So that's kind of the propaganda of the power machine
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: that wants you to stay in your place basically, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: to think that resistance is futile and think that you
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: don't own your vote. I mean, who owns your vote?
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Politicians have to earn your vote. They don't own it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: And that's the question, are they earning your vote? You know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: when you actually look at our condition, people are facing
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: a crisis really in every dimension of our lives, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: it's not getting better yet our resources are being squandered.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Sixty eight percent of Americans want an immediate ceasefire and
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: an end to the genocide sixty eight percent. Yet you
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: can hardly get a single vote on that behalf in Congress,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: and you're getting a standing ovation per minute for that
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: war criminal that Yahoo, you know, who is carrying out
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: this genocide which could be ended with a simple phone
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: call from the president, just like Reagan did, just like
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Eisenhower did before him. The US is in charge. This
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: is our genocide going on right now, and don't let
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: them talk you into voting for genocide. If you vote
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: for genocide, you're endorsing it. You're enabling it. We can
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: stop it. We actually have the power. And I'll just
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: quote two people Frederick Douglass who said power concedes nothing
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: without a demand. The empire is trying to talk you
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: out of your demand right now. But we have that demand.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: We have the numbers to make the demand. We got
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: the solutions, we've got a system, we have an analysis
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: which actually works, and we got to stand up and
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: make that demand. They're trying to shame you and blame
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: you out of making that demand that belongs to us.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Our vote is our power and a democracy. Don't let
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: them talk you out of it. And the second thing
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: is Alice Walker, the novelist and poet who said the
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: biggest way people give up power is by not knowing
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: we have it to start with. We got the power
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: if you look at the numbers, if you look at
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: the values, if you look at the solutions that are
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: out there, they're out there really waiting for us to
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: stand up and demand them. And if we don't know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: that's that's at our apperil us, that we're making a
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: mess out of the world. You know, we've committed some
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: like eighty regime change operations since the Second World War,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: what's going on in Gaza is a it's like a microcosm.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: It's like a symbol of empire and colonialism kind of
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: run amok. But it's not the only place, you know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, we've been rolling out slow motion genocides all
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: over the world for quite some time, and you know
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: this is catching up to us. We are no longer
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: the dominant power around the world. Power is shifting. We
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: need to shift with it. We can no longer be
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: giving marching orders to the rest of the world. We
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: need to stand up like an adult and be part
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: of a global community and a shared power structure.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: And if you can just tag me in right here, Jill,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: I'll go back to the first question, right, how is
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: it different? So when I was evaluating and got caught
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: onto the ticket three weeks ago, okay, and I had
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: done an Instagram live with doctor Joe Stein, and I
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: asked her a couple of questions. I had just posted
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: a real where Kamala Harris had been asked about reparations Harris. Okay,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Kamala Harris had been had been posted about reparations. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: posted a real where she was talking about it, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: she was asked and she you know, sort of went
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: around for about ninety seconds, and then she ended by saying,
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: I will never do anything that only helps black people.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: In other words, it was a rising tide, lift all boats.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: We're gonna have social policies and stuff that helps black
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: folks by default. So I asked doctor Jill in the interview,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: what's your position on reparations, and she said, they behave
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: as though it's incalculable, but it has been calculated by
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: specialists many times. It's between ten and thirteen trillion dollars US.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: And I'm in favor of payments cash payments to the
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: descendants of the enslaved. So had my attention with that right.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: The second point is I said, well, we know that
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: you have been at the forefront of the struggle for
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Palestine liberation, and as an anti Zionist Jewish white woman,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: that is a powerful statement, especially seeing you get arrested
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: at you know, pro Palestine rally. So I know where
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: you stand on Gaza and we wouldn't be talking if
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: you didn't stand in that place. This was before I
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: was on the ticket, But I said, what's your overall
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: vision of foreign policy? And she said, to dismantle the
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: American empire, and I said, yeah, and you better hurry
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: up quick and do it before somebody do it for you. Right,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: that those two processes look very different. If you take
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: the trillion dollars a year that are being thrown away
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: murdering other people's children in foreign countries, and instead of
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: put that into investments in infrastructure, into social housing, into
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: healthcare in this country, then that looks like a flourishing,
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: prosperous future, not.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Just for Black America but for all of America. Right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Whereas if you continue to torment humanity with the most
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: brutal imperialist state ever to exist in human history, that
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: we're coming up on a nine to eleven more. Al Right,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Jill and I are going to do something on March
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: in Detroit. Well, what did Malcolm say about chickens coming
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: home to roost? If we keep exporting this violence all
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: over the globe, then it is going to keep coming
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: right back here to our homes. And that's something that
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: doesn't just concern black and brown folk. That's something that
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: concerned all folk. Last thing that I'll say on this
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: in response to here to your question, v I, would
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: you know one version that we get to that question?
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: You know regularly is like what you're throwing your vote away?
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: You know, right, that's the other version of it, Okay.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: And the thing is is in this broke electoral college.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: And by the way, the Green Party stands for abolishing
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: the electoral college, okay, And so that hangover from slavery
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: and bringing in ranked choice voting in all voting systems
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: so that you're not putting people on opposite sides where
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: they bang on each other. Right, the real criminal Red
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: and Blue is not the honorable street organizations like the
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Bloods and the Crypts. The real criminal gangs red and
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Blue are the Democrats and Republicans, and right now they're
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: being encouraged to bang on each other in public. If
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: you have ranked choice voting, then people are going to
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: be drawn to the middle rather than drawn to extremes.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: But let's go back to the question about throwing your
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: vote away in this electoral college system. All y'all throwing
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: your votes away because unless you live in one of
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: them four or five swing states, it has already decided
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: that your state is going to go either blue or
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Red before you ever.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Get into the booth.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: So instead of throwing your vote away on team Red
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: or Team Blue when it don't make no difference in
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: the state that you in, Why not vote for reparations?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Now? Why not vote for a ceasefire? Now? Why not build.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Power in a green party that is going to give
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: people an actual, viable third party alternative so that we
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: can get these thugs on either side of the aisle
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: to behave like grown folks.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: Well, so you raise an interesting point around throwing your
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: vote away, and there's actually numbers on that, doctor Sin.
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: You raised over seven point three million dollars for a
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: recount in twenty sixteen, a recount of votes that probably
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: actually do matter. In Michigan, for example, you acquired fifty
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: four hundred and sixty three votes. Of course, Donald Trump
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: beat Hillary Clinton by ten thousand, seven hundred and four votes,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: and she lost by half a percentage point. In Michigan
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: and Wisconsin, thirty one thousand six votes you acquired. Trump
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: beat Hillary Clinton by twenty two one hundred and seventy
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: seven votes. In Pennsylvania forty nine thousand, four hund eighty
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: five votes, and Donald Trump be her by a little
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: over sixty seven thousand votes. You engaged in raising money
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: for a recount because our votes actually do matter. Can
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: you talk about the results of that recount in those
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: three states that I just named.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Sure, and let me say that every vote counts, you know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: and we believe because every vote counts. That's why we
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: don't want the electoral College telling us that some states
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: matter and others don't. We believe. And in terms of
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: how we are conducting our campaign, we're in swing states,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: we're in red states, we're in blue states. We are
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: all about building power and really helping to help people
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: to grab the power that belongs to us. The fallacy
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: there which is what you know the Democrats in particular
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: harp on, and it's not true the idea that votes
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: for Greens came at the expense of votes for Hillary Clinton.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: We actually know from in fact from exit poll and
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: just from talking to people, people who vote for us,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: and it's about sixty one percent of everybody who votes
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: for us would not have come out to vote. So
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: those votes didn't come from Hillary Clinton, and some of
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: them actually came from Trump to So if you actually
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: crunch the numbers, what you see is that the outcome
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: would not have changed at all. Uh if we weren't
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: in there. Yes, no, no electoral college vote would have
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: changed exactly none. If you calculate the fact, sixty percent,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: sixty one percent of our votes would not have voted
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: one bit and of the remaining.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: To do that calculation, but the only thing I'd be
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: glad to share it with you. No, No, I'm not.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: Actually I'm a lawyer because I don't do math like that.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: We don't really know that. Like, folks come in even
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: and you all know this too, you right, Folks will
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: say Ralph.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Vader, who was one of about six third party candidates
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: in that election, But you don't.
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: Know what my point was going to be.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: He's going to that, Folks will say, and it's happened
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Hillary Clinton, has happened to Kamla Harris, has happened Donald Trump.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: Folks will say in a poll that they were going
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: to vote or they are going to vote for this person.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: That's true. You never know. But we also know that
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: one out of every three voters did not vote in
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: the last presidential election in twenty twenty. One out of
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: every three eligible voters chose not to vote. And who
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: were they? They were largely disproportionately of color, young, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: low income, exactly the people to whom our agenda speaks.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: So you know, a lot about voting is indeterminate, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: it's not going to be predicted by polls because polls,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: you know, are by definition people who tend to vote.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: But what we're talking to are people who tend not
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: to vote. Don't they also deserve a vote? And let
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: me also cite the statistics that show the numbers are
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: off the charts right now in terms of people who
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: want other options. This is sampled every year by Gallup
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: and also by Pew. But Gallup shows that the numbers
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: now are sixty three percent who are saying that the
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: two parties, the two parties are doing such a bad
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: job of serving the public interest that sixty three percent
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: say we need another option, we need another major party.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: So it's like, amidst all this indeterminate stuff, and you're
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: absolutely right, you can't predict a lot of this. Are
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: we going to clamp down and say, therefore shut down choices,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: therefore shut down options when that's what people are demanding?
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Who and why are people demanding it? Because they've been
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: thrown under the bus for long enough by both parties
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: and they really want other options. So what we're saying is,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: let's give people those other options. If you're concerned about
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: splitting the vote, so called spoiled elections, there's a solution
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: for that. It's called ranked choice voting. We have been
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: pushing that for twenty years and the Democrats keep shutting
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: it down. Why do they shut it down because they
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: want to extort your vote. They want to be able
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: to use fear campaigning and smear campaigning because they don't
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: want to face the music. Oh, it's hardly a new charge. No,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: we can document that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Another question was addressed to question.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just want to say to add a piece
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: to it. And this has come you know, since like
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: I joined the campaign, reached out to colleagues. Dahlia Mulgahead
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: a key researcher at ISPU Institute for Social Policy and Understanding.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: So these are publicly available numbers, and this goes to
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: the heart of the question that you asked about previous elections,
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: but it's about this upcoming one.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: And then it's.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: About like where we actually are so key swing states Pennsylvania, Michigan,
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: and Georgia. Okay, these are all for demographic purposes, essentially
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: the same state, similar proportion of African Americans, similar proportion
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: of Muslims. There's little differences in the way that they're comprised,
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: but specifically for the Muslim and Black populations are these
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: are very similar states. So in twenty twenty, Joe Biden
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: received sixty five percent of the Muslim vote in those states,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: and Joe Biden would not have won any of those
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: states without getting that big majority amongst the Muslim vote.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: January twenty twenty four, twelve percent of the vote according
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: to polling polling yes, from sixty five percent to twelve percent. Okay,
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: And the polling says, well, why Gaza, right, So, so
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: eighty percent of the people that have have bailed said
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: that Gaza is the reason, even if that's for people
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: that were Trump voters, that's for people that were Biden voters.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: The Muslim community has already been lost and it's not
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: coming back. And the thing is is that in those
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: swing states you are never getting the Muslim vote vote back,
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: which means, in point of fact, if we know this,
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: then the Democrats have for sure known this. They are
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: not winning any of those swing states without those Muslim
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: voting impossible. Dead man walking, bro, Like, I'm serious, it
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: is a zombie.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: Well, there will show. But right now they're looking like, yeah, yeah,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: so that's the point.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So that's what.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: They're showing is that it's upwards of seventy percent of
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: those that are walking away from from the Democratic Party
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: are walking towards third third party candidates. So in point
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: of fact, only about five percent eight percent. I'm just
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: there were two different numbers from two different points in
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: time that Dahalia had cited, so it was somewhere between
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: five and ten percent are going towards Trump. It's a
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: very small number, a very small number are remaining uncommitted.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: The overwhelming majority are going third party. And this was
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: before it became clear right that the Green Party was
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: going to be the strongest of those three parties. So
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: then another poll run by the Council on American Islamic
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Relations CARE showed just last week that that in the
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Muslim community nationwide now now not just talking about those
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: three swing states, but nationwide had us polling neck and
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: neck with Kamala Harris. And actually a new poll was
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: just released that came out this morning. I didn't get
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: the chance to verify it whether it's a scientific poll
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: or not, that we're not leading in that race.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: You guys are you're saying that you're competing in red
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: states in battleground states. I'm sorry, y'all, you'll jumping too,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: but let's keep going. You know what I'm saying, there
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: are at least thirteen states where you all are not
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: like on the ballot or folks would have to write
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: you in or there it's still contested. You're actively petitioning,
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: for example, to be on the ballot in Rhode Island.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: So in those states where there are also Muslim people
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: who you're saying you're winning over based on a poll,
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: that you're going to find the information for what options
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: do they have? This is if this is a fifty
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: straight state strategy, y'all are short by thirteen.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: So in every state except for three there are three
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: states that don't allow writ in writing campaigns, but wright
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: ins are doable campaigns. Joe Biden himself won a write
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: in in New Hampshire because he was not in the
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: primary for various Yeah. Right, but even so, even in
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: a primary, he ran a write in campaign and did fabulous.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: So having the ability to do a right and if
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: the community is really motivated and.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: In the overwhelming majority of states, we are actually.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: On the way we are. We will be on his
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: right ends in all the states, with the exception of
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: I think it's South Dakota.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: Indiana, and Oklahoma.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: That's right, those three states.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: We are on the ballot right ends, yes, go ahead.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Well, so we will be a choice, an anti genocide,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: anti war, pro worker, pro reparations, climate emergency choice, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: the only one which has nationwide status. We will be
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: on the ballot for ninety five percent of voters. That
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: is more than enough to win an election. But you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: I don't want to just focus on winning the election.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: This is an odd election and I would not rule
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: out a win, but that's not the only reason to run.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Every vote cast for our campaign is a vote against genocide.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: It is a shot across the bow of the endless
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: war machine to say that we the people are getting organized,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: we are moving forward, we are growing. We have organization
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: and infrastructure that we have never had before. We've never
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: been able to break through like we are now because
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Greens have been ahead of the curve on a lot
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: of things like climate change, on reparations, on healthcare as
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: a human right, on housing as a human right, also
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: on gaza and genocide. We've been very much ahead of
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: the curve and on cutting the military budget. We're spending
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: as much as the next ten major military budgets around
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: the world right now, we're more than all ten of
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: them put together. We can cut our military budget, which
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: is not benefiting us here in America, and put those
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: dollars into what we critically need right here and right now.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: We should have. We need to be raising the floor
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: for schools across the country. Why should this quality of
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: your school depend on luxury housing in your community? Housing
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: should schools should not depend only on property taxes from housing.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: The federal government should be in the business of raising
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: the floor so that we have a common standard across
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: the country, so regardless of your zip code, you have good,
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: high quality education where you're starting out. Things like that
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: is where we need to be spending our money, not
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: on endless war, on genocide, on killing children, on massacring
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: women and children every day. You know, the police violence
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: in this country. We don't need that police violence, and
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: there are alternatives to that they can actually move us forward.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go, we're a candidate in twenty twelve, twenty sixteen,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: what's the difference in twenty twenty four, Oh.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Man, it's the difference between night and day. You know.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: It's the thing about being ahead of the curve and
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: then the curve catches up to you. Curve is catching
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: up to us on all the things. Really our agenda,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: in fact, the agenda that we've been putting forward since
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: twenty twelve really is the progressive democratic agenda right now.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Healthcare is a human right, housing is a human right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Reparations to the extent that they give it lip service
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: to the Green New Deal.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you want to if you're not planning to win
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: an election.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: We said we wasn't planning.
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: I'm saying it's not the only understand candidate. To hear
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: that from a candidate, it kind of gives like, well.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Why are you here? Then it does sound.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Like may I go in on this please? Because I
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: would not have joined this campaign. I would not have
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: come out of like, you know, prestigious position in the
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: academy and organizing if I didn't think that we had
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: a chance to win this fight. Look, I'm converted to
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Islam after reading the autobiography of Malcolm X at age fifteen.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Malcolm brought me into knowledge of self, brought me to Islam.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: School me on the black radical tradition. I've been teaching
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: and building this community. I speak fluent Waloff, lived in
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: West Africa for years. I got a good life and
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: I'm not coming out of that in order to play
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: no spoiler. So I was raising that Black Muslim tradition,
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: and just like Muhammad Ali, I came in because I
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: believe we have a chance to shock the world. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: I know that the deck is stacked against us. But
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: this right here is part of our strategy, right because
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: what happens is is that when people hear this agenda
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: and understand that we're talking about erasing the generational wealth
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: gap now right, having a bunch of black Wall Streets
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: and new Tulsas that we can establish now, not another
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: one hundred years. Not going with your hands out to
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: the Democrats, like Malcolm said, where they, you know, treat
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: you like a political chump. You put them first, they
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: put you last. As Malcolm said, we erase that in
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: this generation we build black businesses, Black Wall Street and
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: they can't burn it down this time. So by appearing
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: in a form like this, what is going to happen
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: is we're going to get on a debate stage and
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: when this woman goes up on the debate state exactly, well,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: who knows. But the point is that as soon as
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: we are in the mainstream media conversation exactly we have
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: a watch party tonight, we.
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: Have a response. We will be doing a response meet
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: qualifications for.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: The correct qualifications established by an exclusionary framework. His goal
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: is to silence and throw off the ballots for voters.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: Threshold for you to be pulling it at least fifteen percent.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Well before that, there wasn't a fifteen percent threshold when
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: this was run, when it was run by the League
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: of Women Voters, before it was hijacked by the private
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: corporations of the Democratic and Republican parties, before they were
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: in charge. It was whether or not you actually were
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: going to be a choice for enough voters across the
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: country that you could potentially win the election. So we
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: have satisfied that criterion, the basic criteria I mean as
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: a voter, because polls are self fulfilling, they are self
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: fulfilling prophecies. If you're in the poll, as determined by
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: whatever you know, private polling agency, If you are in
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: the polls, people are going to know about you. If
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: you're not even being polled people want, they don't.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: They do not predict outcomes, they produce them.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: And if people are saying, if people are screaming for
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: other choices, don't they have a right to hear those
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: other choices?
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: I think they do.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: But I think that what you what you have are
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: people that need a certain level of validity to the campaign.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: I will you will not hear Donald Trump or Kamala
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: Harris tonight on this debate stage saying hey, it's not
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: just about us winning.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: Winning is everything.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: And even if we even if we want to say, hey,
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: this shouldn't be a binary choice. I grew up also
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: by raised by an activists. My dad brought home the
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: you know the picture of all of the parties in
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: South Africa. Multi party democracy is great. That's how we have.
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: We have a binary choice between.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: But the American is in the constitution, the American people.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: The American people don't want that. The American people are
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: explicitly on records in absolutely unprecedented numbers saying we want
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: other choices. And not only do people want their choices,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: they want to their choices.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I do I do believe in the third party.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I think we need other options, but it does seem
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: like you all have a lot more smoke for the
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Democratic Party.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I just wonder why.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So if I if I can aicular point so
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: so to to kind of finish the previous one, I
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: absolutely would not be in this race. If I didn't
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: think that we had a chance to win, I wouldn't
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: waste alls time and I wouldn't waste my own time.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: So that's that's that's number one.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: We have had to up until this point in time
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: target the Democrats specifically because they're the ones that are
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: suing to keep us off the ballot. They're the ones
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: that are trying to knock us off the ballot in Georgia.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: They are the ones that are doing everything they can
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: to keep us from coming. If we were not a
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: problem for them, AOC wouldn't be, you know, doing her
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: a little sorry attack ads, you know against us.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: You know that we.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Came back at so so the Democrats are attacking us.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: We're responding in kind. Just to be plain about this.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: The reason why they don't want doctor Joe Stein on
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: a debate stage is because she will be able to
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: look at Team Read and say this is a party
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: that is led by domestic terrorists and a criminal, okay,
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: try to overthrow the government on January sixth, and is
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: convicted of numerous crimes, including sexual abuse that that that
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: amounts to rape and so forth. So this man is
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: a domestic terrorist and a criminal.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: She can look to Kamala Harris and sorry, hold on, no, no,
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: it's honest to God, no disrespect to be to be
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: to be perfectly honest. It's just the way that I
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: had gotten used to pronouncing the name because it resembles
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: a name that is used in West Africa.
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: Getting it right though, yeah, you have to.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: The other Absolutely, I will not make that mistake again.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: I'm big men get jumped by black hold on it
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: not me, listen, richly deserved. And if I act a
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: full check my black ass, that's fine, Like no joke,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Like I expect to be held accountable by my people,
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: whether those are black folk or Muslims.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: So that is all love and it does all welcome.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: You're not gonna get no pushback from me on that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: So where was I?
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: She will turn to Kamala okay and be able to
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: say this person is actually a war criminal. In the
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: following respect, the ic C and CJ have made rulings
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: that the Zionist entity, the state of Israel, is an
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: illegal apartheid state, okay, conducting an illegal genocide in the
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: midst of an illegal occupation, and that anyone that provides
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: material support to those things is actually complicit in war crimes.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: So you will say that there's a domestic terrorist on
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: team Red and a war criminal on team blue. One
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: party on this stage is not led by a criminal.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: One party on this stage wants to restore power to
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: the American people, give a viable third party alternative. And
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: just to return to the point, yes, I do want
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: that shot at their chin, and I'm coming for Trump,
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Like I've already got my game plan laid out for Trump.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: You know, Trump thinks he can do nicknames.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: I already tagged Aoci Pelosi, right, and and the reels
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: have already started with that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: So I'm coming for Trump.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: But the reality is is that we have had to
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: get the Democrats out of the way because they're trying
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: to keep us off of ballots.
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: Yes, when you talk about AOC though, and it sounds
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: like you have issues with her, right, Yeah, her whole
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: thing is, like you guys, according to what she's saying,
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: that it doesn't add city council seats, state electives.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: She's round balland she's wrong.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: Fifteen Yeah, because well how important because here for the.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: People, that we're not growing, we're not running for lower office,
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: and that we disappear except four years we come out
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: for president. Those were her claims, and they are absolutely
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: false and misleading. She should know better because she was
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: actually campaigning in twenty seventeen. She ought to know better. No,
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: what she talked about was the Working Families Party, but
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: that is not a third party. It is a second
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: What she mentioned was the Working Families Party, her third party,
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: and what that does, that is a second ballot line.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: It's not a third party. It's a second ballot line
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: for the Democrats, and it runs people who are already
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Democrats or they're independent on their way to becoming Democrats.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: And the main thing about Working Families versus true independent,
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: non corporate political grassroots parties. We are under attack by
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: the Democrats in particular, and that's what you know. It's
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: the Democrats. It's not the Republican It is the Democrats
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: who bragged starting back in March that they now had
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: an army of lawyers to basically exercise law fare, looking
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: for trivial details where they could do a gotcha and
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: get us thrown off the ballot, violating this spirit of
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: the law UH to basically eliminate their competition. They have
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: also advertised publicly for infiltrators and spies to mess up
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: our ballot drives. And they also hijacked our public funding
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: three hundred thousand dollars. I know it's not a lot
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: in the scheme of what Democrats and Republicans run on,
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: but we're at grassroots, people powered, low budget part party
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: that public funding meant a lot, and that's that's part
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: of the reason why we're not on in three in
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: three states.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I just have a question, and I would want all
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: y'all to chime in on this.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Is it fair to call the vice president a war
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: criminal when she's actively calling for an end to the
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: war on God and she's just the vice president?
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Well, it's lip service, you know. I mean, she could
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: what would say?
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: I can't believe what you say because I see what
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: you do. You have the power to influence policy.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: Now, I mean, did you speak out?
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: She could speak out? No, she's what she speaks out
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: in the same way that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: That Palestinians on the stage talk about not a single
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: one where they held them off.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: They ordering them like animals and Gaza and then they
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: muzzle them like animals.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: At the Democrats, even when they are faithful supporters at
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: the party and of their candidates, they still would not
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: allow a single Palestinian to get up and talk about
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: just to humanized Palestinian, it means nothing to call when
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Biden is already doing that. He's already doing that. And
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: uh Kamala Harris, you know, spoke a little more from
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: the heart about the plight of the Palestinians, but not
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: any different whatsoever about what to do. Basically, she said that,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: you know, our support for Israel is undying. It's uh,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: you know, it's an absolute We will stand by Israel
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: no matter what come.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Hell or h parties are bought and paid for by
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Apak in the war machine.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: So that that that that's the thing there.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Their souls are folded on tiny little pieces of paper
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: that are buried deep in the pockets of raytheon Lackey Martin, I'm.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Not I'm not even I'm not even playing with you.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: And let me just say this because because I don't
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: know I'm gonna get the chance to say this in another.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Venue where will matter this much.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: As a historian of anti slavery resistance movements in West
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: Africa and the diaspora, as a historian of the black
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: resistance tradition in continental as well as the asperg Africa,
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: I am personally offended by the way that blackness is
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: being weaponized in this electoral cycle in order to justify
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: white supremacist genocide in Gaza. Okayolm so Malcolm X my
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: mentor and I didn't meet him, but the bread the
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Autobiography of Malcolm X. Malcolm said of Zionism of the
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Zionist state, the Israeli state, he said that this is
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: a white Jewish population, Ashkenazi population being given power by
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: white imperialists to remove brown Arabs from their land. He said, so, therefore,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Zionism is white supremacy. In nineteen seventy nine open Letters
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: to the Born Again James Baldwin said the same thing.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: He said, the state of Israel was not created for
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: the salvation of the Jews. It was created for the
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: salvation of Western interests. Okay, so when you go through
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Kwame Toure Malcolm X, James Baldwin, Tony Morris, and Angela Davis, Assadashakord.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: These are all people that cited the Palestinian resistance. Will
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: not even to bring in the Africans, right, not to
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: mention Nelson Mandela, Not to mention Thomas Sunkarr, who talked
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: about Zionism as being the face of imperialism in the
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Middle East. Right, this is what the black radical tradition
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: taught me. And the Black radical tradition taught me that
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: if we weaponize our blackness in favor of white supremacy,
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: then we become apostates from blackness itself, because blackness.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Is not a race.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: It is an oppositional ideology to white supremacy. I'm a
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: historian of Africa by training. Never before in human history
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: had people speaking hundreds of different languages made themselves into one.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: People developed the comic culture so that you and I
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: can relate to one another. You and I can relate
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: to one another on the basis of.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: A shared culture.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: And we got our Latin and Caribbean brothers and sisters,
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: you know, especially Puerto Rican's and Dominicans. But hey, but
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: also you know more broad, right, that's sharing that.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Culture, that is a miracle.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: It's never happened before in human history. Because what happened
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: is is that an oppositional identity to white supremacy came
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: into being, and.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: That is us.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: And and when I see that identity now being weaponized
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: to justify the most heinous genocide in our time, Like
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: Harriet Tubman is rolling over in her grave right now,
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: sojourn her truth is rolling over in her grave right now.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: Bill Hooks is rolling over in her grave right now.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Who did I miss?
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Do you know what I'm saying, The idea that we
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: would weaponize something as sacred as black womanhood and then
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: utilize this to justify.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: Blowing you know you.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Hear what I'm saying, period.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: Because I want to make sure I clarify before I
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: response to it, is that because Kamala is a black woman,
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: and she's running as a black woman, and she's not
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: speaking out against things that you want her to, she's
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: using her black womanhood to.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Know I think.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: So what I've saw is I saw a lot of
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: black abolitionists of both sexes, of all of all of
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: all gender identities. I saw a lot of black abolitionists
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: going hard in the paint at Joe Biden right, And
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: then as soon as Kamala was at the top of
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: the ticket, radio silence. All of a sudden, people that
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: you could count on that were solid through and through
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: as abolitionists suddenly become apologists for empire.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: And thought about why?
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course I thought about that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: Why is that?
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: The reason is is that we have this aspirational hope
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: that is related to like black achievement and black power
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: and black excellence, and it was weaponized in the Obama presidency.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: But let's so let me Can.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: It be something else?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Could be?
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: Could it be I know her?
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: Could it be that she is someone who listens to
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: voices on all sides. Could it be that when the opportunity,
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: you could turn your head, but I've been no, no, no,
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: you could turn your head. But I've been in the room, doctor,
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: I was.
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: I was actually not turning my back. I was looking
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: to see what this respond with.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: The response on the other side of the room is
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: over here engaged.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Because I can't I can't see if I can't see
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: the people there behind me, No, dis.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: We're all having healthy conversation, but nobody against anybody.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I never turn my back on Angela ever again.
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: The last thing that the last making me an enemy
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: conversation because it's the strategy, because I knew you was
• 34:31
  Speaker 10: kind of getting your way to this, and it's very
• 34:33
  Speaker 10: disappointed to see you do that and get.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: What are we missing?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Pad?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I would definitely like to hear.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: Could it be you're getting little nervous?
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I understand happened to me all the time.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I just had to.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, I can't you know, you don't need to you
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: don't need.
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: To be protected from me.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: My words are not weapons, and actually is just really
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: to dispel some of the myths. I think that since
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: you all believe in polls a lot more than I do,
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: there are a lot of folks that are saying that
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: they still are trying to get to know Kamala Harris
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: even clearly how to pronounce, pronunciate her name, pronounce her name.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: So what I would say is it could be that
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: they've seen an opportunity for for negotiation, for hearing another perspective.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: I've been in the rooms with her on.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: Justice reform issues and others helped to convene those rooms
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: where she's been more open. Because what we do know
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: about how politics works is that it can't just be
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: this wish agenda. I love a lot of what you
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: all have on your agenda. I'll call it after seven
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: ready or not, agen, I'll give you the sun, the rain,
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: the moon starts mountain.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: But there's really way who called it a wish list? Mean,
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: the same people that spend a trillion dollars of y'all's
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: money blowing up other people's kids are saying it's a
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: wish list to have an actual social program.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: I think I think that it's not propaganda. I'm saying
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: it because it's I've worked on Capitol Hill. It's very
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: difficult to get what you're trying to achieve. So just
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: for example, Jill.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Can talk about what you can do just from the
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: executive authorware.
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: Yes, maam, thank you.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: Just for an example, I'd love to know how many members,
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: how many voting members in the United States House Representatives.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: So we have been blocked the Democrats, the ballot memory
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: interfere They put spies and infiltrators on our campaign.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: How many voting members compare us?
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, no answer the question how many voting
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: members in the United States House of Representatives Republican, Democrat
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: and Independent?
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: How many total?
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: How many total are there?
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Six hundred some?
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: No?
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: No, it's four hundred and thirty.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: Five plus one hundred in the Senate, right.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: One hundred, yes, I said House representatives, one hundred in
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: the Senate. Of those four hundred and thirty five in
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: the House of the one hundred and how many just
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: one moment.
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: I'm not trying to put you on the defense.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying this because the hell is my passion,
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: that's where I grew up as a professional.
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: Right, how many of them are Green Party members?
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, I know where you're going to show that the
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: Greens are powerless. I want to make the point, Well,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: this is usually this is usually part of that argument
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: you're trying to make.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: What was the point I'm going before you rebutted, doctor Stein?
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: What was the point?
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: I want to know?
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: How many voting members of the Green Party in the
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: House of the Senate currently exists?
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Currently? There are none. However, if you look at the
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: American people, you know how many are voting against the
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: genocide hardly any how many are voting for healthcare as
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: a human right, which would actually save US half a
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: trillion dollars a year. We the people are not represented
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: so not being there is not a strike against the Green.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: Party, Okay, and that's fine.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: How many of them right now based on and I
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: caught it a wishless It wasn't to be offensive?
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: Is I have a wishness? Is wanted an ideal?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: What I'm saying is it's not dismissive here my heart right,
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: but your hearts mispronouncing of commonly hear my heart of
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: because there are none that currently exists. That means you
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: got to have allies. Oh are your allies in the House.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: And City health. See if y'all.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: Would have just slowed down a minute, y'all had guns conversation, right,
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: we try to We got to do basic, but how
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: many how many before the allies, some of your allies
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: in the House and the Senate that would help to
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: get this very aggressive agenda done.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: So let me tell you how the agenda would get done.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: For one thing, we need yess, yes, talk about that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: So what I want to speak to specifically is town
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: hall meetings, which used to require representatives to meet their districts.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: They don't do that anymore. They meet with their donors, well,
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: they largely meet with their donors. They're meeting with their
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: donors like ninety percent of their waking time. They're hardly
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: ever going to town hall meetings. I mean, we've been
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: out there on the campaign trail, and when we mentioned this,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: we get nods all around the room, especially from the
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: opponents of genocide, or from those who are demanding healthcare
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: as a human right, or from those who want rent
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: control across the country so that we can actually have
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: you know, have secure housing in this country. There are
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: so many things that the American people are demanding, but
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: our elected officials are accountable to their donors. So you
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: have a you have got to catch twenty two here.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: You have a very difficult system to change. How do
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: you change it? You know, and it only changes in
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: a crisis. When did the third party come along? That is,
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: it was the Republican Party, you know, which was the
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: abolitionist party. It entered into the scene, you know, basically
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: right before the Civil War, and they had been preparing
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: for it running, you know, and before the Republicans, there
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: were other anti other abolitionist parties. But it's a long
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: road to get there, and you have to work to
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: get there, and you know, and then suddenly they burst
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: on the scene. When the time was right and right now,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: we know that the American people are clamoring for other options,
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: the other options, like namely US, we are the major
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: option on the ballot across the country. We are being
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: denied airtime, We're being censored, we're being silenced, We're being
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: canceled effectively, very much by an explicit plan through the
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Democratic Party, which they've actually been explicit about.
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: I understand that, and you've and you've repeated that today,
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: doctor Stein. What I'm trying to say is with the
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: like the very aggressive agenda you have, I said to
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: you all with a lot of what you have there,
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: what I'm talking about is as a political strategy is.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you on day one, let me tell
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: you on day one, on day one, we stop the genocide. Okay,
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of lies, so there's a lot that
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: they but I can't get answer your question. However, denies
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: the power that the president has as the executive The
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: president has a fair amount of executive authority to actually
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: begin the process. So that process begins with stopping the
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: genocide on day one, which happens with a phone call.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: It's happened before. This absolutely will happen, especially if we
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: invoke the weapons and barberent on issues where you have
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: executive authority. What you need our allies among the people,
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: But you don't need the boats in Congress for much
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: of this agenda. To declare and a climate emergency, which
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: we have. The Colorado River is about to shut down.
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: We got people dying from heat, from inadequate food supply.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: People can't afford their food. Yet the major source of
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: food in the US is in deep trouble right now.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: The Colorado River is within one to two years of
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: shutting down. That supplies the California agriculture system. Its drought. Yeah,
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: it cannot get into the system. It can no longer
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: get through the outlets coming out of Lake need which
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: is where you have this big reservoir. It's almost too
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: low to make it into the irrigation system to reach
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: many states, but especially California agriculture, which supplies half of
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: the fruits and vegetables for the US. So you think
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: food prices are bad right now, just wait a year
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: or two. They're going to be in real trouble. So
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: we would declare a climate emergency, which there absolutely is
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: right now, And we just had over one hundred days
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: of over one hundred degree weather in Phoenix. You know,
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: we got weather conditions that have never happened before. We're
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: in serious jeopardy, not to mention the storms and drought
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: and the trouble for farmers and all that. So we
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: declare the climate emergency, and that immediately triggers the release
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: of over half a trillion dollars every year in emergency
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: funding to begin creating that Green New Deal that is
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: an emergency jobs program so no worker is left behind.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, it could do that right now.
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: That could happen right now, And if I had just
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: had something that that are our brilliant and talented campaign manager,
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Jason Call who happens to be in the room with us,
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know if the.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Cameras want to pad to him.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: So so when we were having this conversation last night,
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: after after you know, a similarly robust conversation with with
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: with Mehdi Hassan, the we made the point and Jason
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: was the one that brought this into the conversation that
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: if we do land that knockout punch that Muhammad Ali
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: versus Sunny listed knockout punch, and we managed to get
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: thirty four percent of the electoral college votes in this country, right,
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: and we go from the.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: Far four percent of the of the vote the actual actual,
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: which translated majority and the electoral college college.
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: Thank you for correcting the historian, because we've got a
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: brilliant policy mind here and I'm still new to this
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: and happy to be corrected by you know, by both family,
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: you know, and and new family, and yes, exactly. So
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: the point is, though, is that if we move from
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: that five percent, you know that that that we feel
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: is basically assured at this point in time, that will
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: lead to ten million in federal funding to run the
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: next election, so that we're not chasing, you know, behind.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: If we have moved to the point.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: Where Jill is able to make that phone call that
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: we've moved from that five percent to that thirty four percent,
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: that will mean that there is a profound mandate that
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: comes from the American people with that office.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: That means that, yes, you might have these you.
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: Know, intransigent, entrenched positions on both Teams Blue and Team Red,
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: but what it will mean is that they will have
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: to respond in a different way to Team Green if
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: we have that kind of popular mandate. And that's why
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: we're trying to take the case to the American people.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: We might fall short in making that case. They may
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: never show us their chance to where we get to
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: throw that knockout punch. But in the meantime, we are
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: able to consolidate power that can be utilized in the
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: next electoral cycle and in subsequent electoral cycles to give
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: the American people a genuine choice rather than just the
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: two gangbangers.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: So when you talk about a third the democracy, you know,
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: like Donald Trump is right, we can all agree, yes, yes, absolutely,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: What if because of y'all, you know, he ended up
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: winning and then there is no more democracy for y'all
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: even have a chance to be a threat?
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, and it's a good question, so get asked.
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: I mean Trump is out front, you know, in interfering
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: with the peaceful transfer of power, So a real threat
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: to democracy. The Democrats on their end don't get a
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: lot of they're they're not held accountable for this, but
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: they are throwing their competitors off the ballot in advance
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: of the election.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: They really hire a bunch of lawyers to get Yes,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: we can send you.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: The articles if you like. In the Washington Post and
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: the New York Times, they're bragging actually they're bragging not
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: only about the consequences, but even when their plan was
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: launched back in March, they are bragging that they have
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: hired an army of lawyers basically to find faults in
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: our you know, in our petitions, in our electoral process
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: of getting on the ballot. So they and we have there,
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: we have screenshots of their ads which they have since
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: taken down, but they actually have ads advertising for people
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: to manage infiltrators and spies into our campaigns. And then
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: they actually did hijack three hundred thousand dollars in our
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: public funding, which we critically needed for the timing of
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: ballid access and that's why, for example, we missed Oklahoma
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: because we didn't have the cash on hand to be
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: able to pay the fee, which is you know what
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: what Oklahoma requires. So yeah, they are pulling out all
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: the stops, and then they they have I'm I'm sure
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: AOC was being an attack dog there because she was
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: put up to some ridiculous story which really did not
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: hold water and I think was really quite embarrassing to
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: her at the end of the day. Before her, it
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: was Jamie Harrison, the head of the DNC, who was
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: trying to smear me about being a Russian agent. Well,
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: that was long put to rest by the Senate Intelligence Committee,
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: which which looked into that smear campaign for three years. Actually,
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: I had a detailed investigation by the Senate Intelligence.
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: Spirit and doctor Stein, given the fact that you were
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: sitting at the head table with Vladimir Putin next to
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: Michael Flynn, who was no, literally.
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: No, not next to Michael Finn, No, not exame.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: He was at the table with National Security Advisor Michael Flynn,
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: who was found to have Do you know in the
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: twenty sixteen election in just months?
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: Do you know what my message your election?
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: Do you know what my message was?
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: And what I understand from what you said is that
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: you weren't able to give that message because there was
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: no one to try.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Actually, but I was a major speaker at the conference.
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: What you saw was a photo from the dinner afterwards.
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: Dinner with Vladimir Putin.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: Doc Vladimir Putin came in and sat down for ten
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: minutes without translator with you yet well not with me
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: on the other side, the only person I could actually
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: talk to because there was so much noise and music
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: and entertainment going on. The only person I could get
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: a word in edgewise too, was the former Foreign Minister
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: for Germany, Willie Wimmer, who was sitting on my right,
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: on my left, and my speech, you know, made three points.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: My speech made three points. One is that we needed
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: an immediate peace offensive in the Middle East and that
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: Vladimir Putin needed to stop bombing Syria, which he had
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: just begun doing. I told him that he was following
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: in the footsteps of you US foreign policy, which was
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: a disaster by way of trying to bomb our way
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: to peace in the Middle East. The second point was
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: that we need a global green new deal because we
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: have a crisis that impacts all of us. We need
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: to move our money from the military to actually confronting
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: our true real threat to our survival, the climate. And
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: the third thing being we need to get rid of
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: the nuclear weapons, that too is a threat to our survival.
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: And right now that is a law, that is a
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: law of the land. The Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty is
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: now required by the United Nations, the vast majority of
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: the world nations have signed on, but not the nuclear
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: weapons holding nations, not Israel, not Russia, not the US,
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: not China. So I was there to promote those three things,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: not just to Russia, but to the world press, which was.
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: The dinner, which the American intelligence officials say is the
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: Kremlin mouthpiece.
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: And I just am curious if you were there, you
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: were sitting in this picture that I so. I was
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: there to speak to.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Global media, including the Canadian broadcasting system, the BBC, China, India,
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: world media, to know that there is another constituency within
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: the US. We are not all about being empire, about
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: conducting endless war against black and brown people around the
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: world and ginning up nuclear weapons. And we have, by
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: the way, led the charge in dismantling the nuclear treaties,
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: so that right now we are risking nuclear war on
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: three fronts. Did you know that one nuclear armed submarine
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: alone contained the equivalent of five thousand Hiroshima bombs. Nuclear
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: confrontation is a threat to us all because of the
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: nuclear winter thing. And there's so much which is not
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: being addressed. There's so much which the American people deserve
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: to know, including how much this is costing us.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: Asking it says engaging with foreign assets as a pattern
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: for doctor Jill Stein. Previously, the Senate Intelligence Committee investigated
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: links between Stein's twenty sixteen campaign Andrussia's efforts to interfere
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: in the election, while an indictment bought by Special Counsel
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Robert Muller found at the Kremlin's Internet Research Agency had
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: used social media to promote her candidacy.
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: So that, uh, that has been more than a thousand times.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean so the the Senate Intelligence Committee.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: They don't mention what the finding of the Senate Intelligence
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: Committee was, which was that there was absolutely no fault
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: on my part whatsoever. The question that was raised there
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: was did Russian social media have an impact? And was
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: I on you know, a beneficiary of that?
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: In the Senate they said, you repeatedly parodied Kremlin views
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: and posted you know what.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: They consider a Kremlin view. They consider reparations a Kremlin view.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: They consider the civil rights movement actually a Kremlin view.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: They consider racial disparities a Kremlin view. So these are
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: these are these are Department of Defense talking points and
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: these are unfortunately the DNC talking points as well, which
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: repeatedly tries to smear me as a Russian agent. Yes,
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: and this has been very specifically found lacking. And the report,
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: get this, the report that was initially used to supposedly
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: show that Russians had a social media campaign supporting me
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: that was written by a cybersecurity firm called the New
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: Knowledge Corporation. New Knowledge had to disband shortly after publishing
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: that because they were exposed for conducting an interference campaign
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: themselves in the twenty seventeen Senate election in Alabama. And
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: how did they do that? They pretended to be a
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: Russian influence campaign on social media. So they did exactly
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: what they have accused the Russians of doing. They actually
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: did and put it under the false guise of being
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: a Russian interference campaign.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: So this is.
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: Vladimir Putin or any of anybody on in the anybody
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: within his team.
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: Have you ever had anythine?
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: I have tried to and have never been able to.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: But that has been my goal to actually advance each
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: of these three absolutely critical issues. And in the words
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: of John F. Kennedy, we must not negotiate out of fear,
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: but we must not fear to negotiate. Look at the
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: Ukraine War, for example, which is an absolute disaster. It
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: is a war being fought to the last Ukrainian. No
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: one is paying a steeper price in blood than the
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: people of Ukraine. Right now, this is an absolutely criminal
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: and tragic war, but it was completely avoidable. Even after
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: it began. There were negotiations taking place under the auspices
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: of Turkey which brought together the various parties, and you
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: had a peace agreement between Russia and between Ukraine. And
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: that peace treaty was disrupted by the US and by
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: the UK which came in and said no, you may not,
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: you may not make peace here. The US has been
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: invested in this, unfortunately as part of our plan for
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: the expansion of US influence following the collapse of the
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: Soviet Union. It's a longer story, we don't need to
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: go into it, but this is an absolutely avoidable conflict.
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: You have to be very skeptical of the talking points
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: that we're hearing from.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: America. Well, so that I hear a lot of geo
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: political issues with and so.
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: I'd like to bridge between those by going back to
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: something that you asked about, like Team Read right and
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: how we appeal. So just to be clear right that
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: part of the appeal to Team read is to actually
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: focus on America. So one of the things that that
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: is a marked difference between the way that the corporate
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: interests that control the Democrats and the corporate interests that
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: control the Republicans are are are configured. Is that on
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: the so called right end of the spectrum, there are
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: a lot more people that are interested in disengagement from
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: forever wars and want to focus instead on domestic policy.
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: So I think that that is one place where we
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: can absolutely make an appeal. And you know the appeal
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: that Jill, you know, sort of framed and I'll be
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: bun about this. Like my grandfather, Rudolph Where Senior he
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: never so, yeah, I go by Butch, but I'm actually
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: Rudolf where the third, you know, my grandfather from Georgia,
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: your father grew up in DC.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: My son is also Rudolph, you know. So we got
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: four of them.
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: But Rudolph Senior never would have voted for Democrats because
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: he didn't like that culture of dependency, going with your
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: hand out. He was somebody that did things for himself.
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: So the idea of saying we can cut your personal
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: income taxes, we can cut your small business taxes because
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: we're gonna make billionaires pay their fair share, and we'll
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: stop taking money out of your pocket and handle it
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: handing it to raytheon by laundering it through genocides, right,
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: that we feel that that is something that will appeal
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: to people, you know, not just on the right, but
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: like people that are not thinking about voting at all.
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: That this is actually a really, really crucial point, and
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: it is one place where Team Blue is absolutely speeding
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: us towards World War three more rapidly than Team Red.
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: Is Okay, Team Red might be speeding us towards a
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: kind of societal collapse.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: Right and fast. Exactly what.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: No, No, But the thing is is that the truth
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: of the matter is is that imperialism and fascism are
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: two sides of the same coin. One is the side
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: that faces outwards and the other is the side that
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: faces inward. And I made a social media post before
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: I got brought onto the team that said it this way,
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: is that whether you vote Team Read or Team Blue,
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: militarized fascism wins because the APAK and the weapons manufacturers
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: are patrons of both networks. And just to return to
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: that point, right, I've been on campuses. I organized a
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: Palestini liberation concert on October twenty first, I organized a
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: Black and Palestinian solidarity panel at my local Mosque on
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: October eleventh, four days after like your brother was not
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: backing down, and the Zionist came from my job within
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: the month. Okay, and you know, a Negro still standing.
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: So but the point of all that is just to
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: say that when we launched this campaign to try to
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: actually bring people into this conversation, you see that this
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: is actually where the American people stand in The American
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: people do not want this forever war and they do
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: not one militarized fascists coming to their campuses to crack
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: kids heads open.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: I had to stand out in front of the encampment.
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: And that's democratic governor in in in California, that's Democrat.
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: Uh you know mayors in places like New York City.
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: It's Democrats that are running cop cities. So the thing
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: is is bro fascism is already here. It's just that
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: one of it is like fascism and the other is fascism.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: But the truth is that the purple fascists, the purple.
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: Imperialist Team Red and Team Blue are run by the
• 56:26
  Speaker 6: same funders, and who funds you runs you. So there's
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: a there's a discourse about putting off fascism, but the
• 56:32
  Speaker 6: reality is is that fascism was already here because we
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: already can't speak freely.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: We already have.
• 56:36
  Speaker 6: People university presidents losing their job under democratic regimes. We
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: already have kids that are lining up for people peaceful
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: protests having their heads knocked open. Or you have the
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: cops standing to the side at u c l A.
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: So the thugs can can can knock kids heads open.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: So so I'm sorry. The fear Margaret ain't gonna work
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: on me.
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: The only the only thing that I would say to
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: you is, I think is very dangerous rhetoric to say
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: they're two sides of the same coin.
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: I do think it's important for us to understand democrats. Yea,
• 57:04
  Speaker 8: I think it's well, I think it's dangerous to all
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: of us. Actually, I don't have that press.
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: I understand we do on a lot, but we also
• 57:10
  Speaker 7: agree on a lot. But here's one thing I think
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: we can't agree on. Either you win or lose this selection.
• 57:13
  Speaker 8: There's really no in.
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: Between, doctor sign. In two thousand and two, you ran
• 57:17
  Speaker 7: for governor of Massachusetts and you lost. In two thousand
• 57:20
  Speaker 7: and four, you ran for state representative in Massachusetts and
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: you lost.
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: In two thousand and six, you ran for Secretary of
• 57:24
  Speaker 8: the Commonwealth. You also lost.
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: In twenty ten, you ran for governor again, this time
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: against the first black governor in Massachusetts, Deval Patrick.
• 57:33
  Speaker 8: You lost.
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: In twenty twelve, you ran against this country's first black
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: president with and you got just less than one half
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: of one percent of total votes cast. In twenty sixteen,
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: you ran against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, losing uh significantly,
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: with one point four million votes cast for you but
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: zero Electoral College votes, which I agree with y'all needs
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: to be abolished. But one hundred and thirty six million
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: people voted and you lost that election as well. So
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: I want to know what the pathway to victory is
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: for you at twenty four can't be.
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: I'd like to yeh want can I respond? But I
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: would like to respond. This is the framing of the
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: empire and the oligarchy and white supremacy and colonialism, which
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: wants you to feel that resistance is futile. This is
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: about voter blaming me. No not.
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: What you're not going to say is that I'm ever
• 58:43
  Speaker 7: perading anything at the hands of white supremacy.
• 58:47
  Speaker 8: This is something that's very different. This is me asking
• 58:49
  Speaker 8: you again. It's a buy.
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: I'm just pulling out that it is either talking the
• 58:54
  Speaker 7: same talking points, get talking to. This is not DNC
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: talking points. This is my research and so for you,
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: the research says you have never won an election. You
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: have been successful in pushing forward certain agendas, advocate.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: One in order to win. You know, a journey of
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: a thousand miles begins with one step, and in this case.
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: It's many steps.
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: Let me point out, let me point out. Please, you
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: need to compare the Green Party not with those who
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: are taking money from Apex and the War Machine and
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: Wall Street. You've got to compare us, excuse me, you
• 59:33
  Speaker 5: have to compare us to other grassrooms.
• 59:36
  Speaker 8: Non we need she said, that's what that was.
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: May I please let's please finish, please, thank you. You're
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: trying to compare us to the Democratic Party and the
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: Republican Party with their billions of dollars, or to the
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: Working f Party, which is not under attack as a
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: people powered party, not taking money from Wall Street or
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: the war machine or a pack we are on very
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: different turf. But if you compare us to all other
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: similar parties which are not taking corporate money, which are
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 5: not bought and paid for, which can stand up against
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: endless war, against homelessness, against the climate crisis, against the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 5: housing and the healthcare crisis. Campaigns like us who can
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: actually stand up for the people. They last exactly one
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: to two election cycles and then they're gone. So we
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: are actually strong, the pillar of strength among people powered politics.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: And what have we done over that period. We have
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: established the Green Party as the vehicle for people powered politics.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: We have also launched the agenda which has been adopted
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: by the Progressive Democrats given lip service, not actually advanced.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: But whether you're looking at healthcare as a human right
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: launched by Ralph Nader as a national issue, reparations launched
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: by our campaign as a national issue in twenty twelve,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: if you look at free public higher education, bailing out
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: students and ending student debt, you had Congress bailing out
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 5: the crooks on Wall Street who crashed the economy, but
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: not bailing out homeowners, not bailing out students. That agenda
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: was launched by us. So I think it's not fair,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: and it is the talking point of AOC the other
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: day who is taking her marching orders from the DNC.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: This is exactly what they say that we are only
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: running for president.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: Color as parenting talking points instead of us looking at
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: basic math. The one thing that AOC has done that
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: you haven't is win some elections. And so when I'm
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 7: asking you, but what I'm trying any elections, that is
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: one point. If you want to tell me this, let's
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: talk about it more good question. If you want to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 7: talk about you can do that, not by running necessarily
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 7: for president. Douglas says power, it's not Secretaria of the Commonwealth,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 7: candidate as a gubernatorial candidate, as a president. Instead of
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: telling me, I'm parting white supremacist talking so I can
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: tell you to hear the facts, I can tell you
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 7: the numbers are not on your side.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: Absolutely remarks yes you know on your campaign, and then
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: the honorable Angelo ri.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 8: You can with your I've asked my questions.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: So, as Frederick Douglas said, power concedes nothing without a demand.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: It never hasn't, it never will. Like so many other Greens,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: I came from the world of social activism. I spent
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: decades upon decades fighting for healthcare as a human right,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: for racially just redistricting, which we actually succeeded in, for
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: getting big money out of politics, and creating a public
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: financing system, which we actually succeeded in Massachusetts until the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: Democratic legislature came in and invalidated the people's referendum, which
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: had won by a two to one margin. They validated
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: it on a voice vote and refused to provide the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: funding for it. I saw our movements being beaten back
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: by the power of the political power of corporations and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: billionaires operating through the Democratic and Republican parties. I saw
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: that over and over again, we are not making incremental
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: progress forward. We're actually taking rather major steps backwards.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: You know, the disparities, racial disparities, black and white disparities
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: are actually not better at all than they were in
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: nineteen sixty in spite of all the you know, hard
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: work and the lip service that's been given to racial
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: justice and racial equality. You know, in Boston, in the
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: Massachusetts area, the average household wealth of the African American
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: family is eight dollars considering debt. The average wealth of
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: the Caucasian family is a quarter million dollars. And this
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 5: is not unusual. This is where we are. We are stuck.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: If you looked at the footage from the floor of
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: the DNC, what you could see were the corpse at
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: suites which started at half a million dollars each and
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: went up to five million dollars. This is the money
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: running the DNC, running the Republican National Committee as well.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 5: These parties have been bought and paid for. They really
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: do not have wiggle room. We're not going to fix
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: this around the margins. We need to stand up and
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: build a coalition. This was my experience as an organizer,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: a successful organizer on these many issues that I just
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: ran through. How did we do that? You do it
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: by building coalitions. But if your coalitions are only there
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: for the moment, you know what, you can get the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: bill passed like we did with the public funding of elections,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: but they're going to tear it down. Then you need
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: your coalition to be to remain in power and to
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 5: remain effective so that you're fighting to maintain your victories.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: So what I see us having done since I first
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: was tricked into running for office in two thousand, running
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: for governor. I was tricked into running for office because
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: I saw we were failing over and over and over
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: again on our aspirations for you know, for racial justice,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: to fight white supremacy, to fight police violence, which also
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: is getting worse year by year to fight for health care.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: You know, the health disparities between African American and white
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: population is about three years three years of life taken
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: away from African Americans. And that's before you add in
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: the disparities in economic education. If you factor in education
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: disparities as well, that three years grows to ten years
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: a decade taken off the lives of most African Americans.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: To me, this was just unacceptable. I could not sit
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: there and take it over and over again, especially after
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: the Democrats reversed our achievements to get at the core problem,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: which is the corruption of money in politics, we solve
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: that and they basically tore that solution to shreds. I
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: could not stand there. That's when I got recruited to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: run for office because I began to realize this is
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: about building coalitions. That doesn't happen overnight. It takes a
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: lot of education, it takes a lot of work. And
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: so I ran in that first race for governor, challenging
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: actually Mitt Romney, who was running for governor on the
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: Republican ticket. And you know what, we had to fight
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: our weight to get into a televised debate, but we
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: did succeed because the turnout was huge in you know,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: in the rallies that were demanding to open up the debates,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: and that debate was opened up on one occasion, and
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: that took place in a TV studio. There was no
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: live audience to like read, so it was just you know,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: speaking to the other people in the room, small number
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: of people, uh the you know, the guy behind the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: camera and so on, and my the Green Party's proposals,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: which we've run through several times, went over like a
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: lead balloon inside of that TV studio, and I walked
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: out of there thinking, oh, well, at least I tried.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: But when I walked out, I was mobbed by the
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: press who told me that I had won the instant
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: online viewer poll, which we didn't even know was going on.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: And to me, that was like a revelation that, oh,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: my god, people actually agree with us. We don't need
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: to change people's minds. People's minds have been changed by
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: the desperate state of our economy, by you know, the
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: incredible injustices, by the police state that we're living in,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: et cetera. And it wasn't nearly as bad back then,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 5: in the year two thousand and two. So we at
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: that point as like a curtain went up for me
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: and I saw, oh my god, this is not a
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: matter of having to change people's minds. People are already there.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: It's just the people are denied knowing that there are
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: options that actually empower us.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: So that's your website for people want thank.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: You it is it is Jill Stein twenty four dot com.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: And yes, check us out because this election is full
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: of what shall we say, one eighties and unexpected developments,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: and we the people deserve to be heard. We are
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: demanding to be heard, and we potentially have the power
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: if only the Vote to Stop Genocide stood up to
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: say I will not hold my vote, my my nose
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: and vote for genocide. That vote, or the eighty seven
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: million people who do not have adequate healthcare, or the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: fifty percent of renters who are struggling, who are just
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: one or two paychecks away from being evicted and being
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: out in the street, if those people stand up to
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: vote for what we actually can have right now, this
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 5: election will be turned on its head. And if we
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: don't get to the White House, but we start on
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: the road to the White House, that too is a
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: huge win. So I really encourage people to follow the
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: words of Alice Walker. The biggest way we give up
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: power is by not recognizing that we have it. This
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: is the conversation that the Democrats, the Republicans, the oligarchs,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: the warmongers, they do not want you to hear this.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 5: They do not want you to know that we have power.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: We have the power if we are willing to stand
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 5: up and demand it. And in the face of the genocide,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: it is a new coalition is being forged. It's being
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: forged in this era of blood and destruction and world crisis.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 5: A new coalition is being formed to stand up for
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: peace and justice. The institutional supports are coming out of
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 5: the woodwork in a way that we have never seen before.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: This is my third race. We've never seen anything like it.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: And the mobilization of the Arab American and the Muslim
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: American communities is a real example of a community that
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: is standing up with the incredible courage of their convictions
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: to say we deserve better. We deserve an America in
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 5: a world that works for all of us that is
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: within our reach if we demand it.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Doctor Jistin, thank you so much.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 8: To be a debate.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: But it was good.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: It was It was great, great, It's.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club, good morning, wake that ass up in
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: the morning club, Breakfast Club,
