• 1:24
  Speaker 8: of this country has never happened before.

• 1:30
  Speaker 8: college or university, the first for many, the founding place
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: for almost every Black Greek organization, and I think a
• 1:37
  Speaker 8: model for many HBC user around the country.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Just excellent academics.
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: Excellent athletics, music, culture, access to government. It's an incredible school,
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: a great representation of HBC used.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Even that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: What's happening here tonight. You know, we saw before we
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: came on Live with you guys, the homecoming court walked
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: down and we saw the young students in their crowns
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, their royal regalia, and I just it
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: felt like Wakanda come to life. And I think for
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: any of us who attended HBCUs you hear people say, oh,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I wish Wakanda was real. Well, it was real for
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: us here during that time, and I feel that here
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: tonight the Divine nine just did a universal step show
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: on stage and then there's a lot of strolling happening,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and I'm thinking about the people on the press risers
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: who don't look like us, who.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Are probably white.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You ude, everybody like, what is going on on this sumthing.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Everyone's jumping around with excitement.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: They are jumping around for excitement for her, but also
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: it feels spiritual. Yeah, And I will just say, this
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: is going to be the blackest election I covered.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: You have today. This is a joy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: It feels like a family union to be with y'all
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: and in such a remarkable place. I have watched Breakfast
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: Club soar politically like you guys engage and have talked
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: to so many candidates, and it was a necessary stop.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Now it's a requirement.
• 2:59
  Speaker 9: You guys, for the first time are doing election night coverage,
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: and I gotta know how it feels.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know yet.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I'm waiting to see it for praying grandmother's because I
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: believe in praying grandmother It's a whole lot of praying
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: grandmothers all across the country tonight.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: So we're gonna see.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Because if things don't go the way we want them
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: to go, we're gonna have to think twice about the
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: prying grandmother thing. About that every you got every black
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: grandmother in America.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Praying right now everything?
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, everyone, yeah, come on now, yeah, God gave us choice.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Though you are confident earlier what happened, I'm still confident.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, But where are we right now?
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Because people are texting my phone and people are saying
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: things like should we be paying it?
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what are you talking about.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It's early, early, early, Yes, that's right.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: The likelihood of us knowing who the next president is
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: tonight it's really slim. You'll recall in twenty twenty, we
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: didn't know until the Saturday after Tuesday's election, and so
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I would tay her expectations here that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We, well, I will know somethings.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Even if we don't have the total results from every state,
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: certain precincts performed certain ways and states. For instance, in
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: my state, I can tell you where the redwoods are going,
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: the super ruby redwood will be, and if they are
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: less than that, if the red is not as dark,
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: meaning it's a light peak, which means some of those
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: voters in those red districts have gone over and voted
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: blue in those places, diminishing the power of the Republican voters.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: So Day County came through for Trump today tonight, though.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: Day County has come through unfortunately the last three four cycles.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I just want to.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Say that I asked the breakfast club folks how they
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: felt about it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: They went good. They're talking about it, but no.
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: Only one talked about it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: I want to say this. It's it's a feeling that
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: I've It feels like a family. You and You're like
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: Laarning and I went on the yard we were partying
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: with with the students, with the alumni. And it's not
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: just Howard University students, just all HBC. We've seen people
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: from FAMU, we see people from North Carolina, A and T.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: We see some hamp University people, some Morgan State people
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: and they're just excited. They just they feel like they're
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: scene finally. Yeah, and uh, it's a great opportunity just
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: to be there with them, like it's like no other
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: Like I thought it was like homecoming, but this is
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: better than a home So I'm really enjoying the moment.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: What about you, Lauren?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I know I had ran into.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Look like you know what drinks.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: When you do you too much? I'm not I can't
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: act up because Angela right up here.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: When that that, I look like, yeah, I gotta be
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: careful to get back. Okay, anyway, I had I was down.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: When we were walking back from the yard, I saw
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: April Ryan. I was like, oh, my god is abral Ran.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Then I was like, i'mnna go around and said hi
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to her. And when I went over and she was
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and we were talking, she came up here. She said
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the same thing. She was like, media, black media, feel
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: scene because it's like they in our home right now,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: anybody who doesn't look like us tonight we got to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: explain what has happened is breaking down. You know, she's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: been on the hill for a very long time. She's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: been holding it down, and a lot of times she
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: goes to battle with people who don't look like her.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: So she's like, oh, it's reversed now.
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: She was literally the only black representation we had in
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: the White House pastry for a long time.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: So you are watching black history, yes, Lauren, we love it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: So one of the things that I think.
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: We should address is this whole electoral college versus popular voting.
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: A lot of people I've been asking questions about that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: We got some smart folks up here who're taking it
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: on Tiffany Cross, look like you're ready.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I honestly think that is something I'm looking out
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: for tonight, and I think there it will be. I've
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: long said on NLP that I am anticipating political violence.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think the violence will happen in the courts, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I think there will be violence in the streets. Already,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: we've seen fake electors in Wisconsin, people who have been
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: election deniers put in positions of authority. Will see tonight
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: if Republican governors who did not if the election results
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: did not go their way, will they certify result? We
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: are at a time well, we don't know, We'll see.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: We are at a time where we are really questioning
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: will people accept election results they don't like?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I will point out the slithering example out of Georgia
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: when Donald Trump did ask the Secretary of State there
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to find him eleven thousand votes.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Those Republicans said no.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Right now, the election deniers have been elevated in their
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: roles of power when we saw the insurrection here in Washington, DC,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in the nation's Capitol on January sixth. This is a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: unique space. We have over thirty plus law enforcement agencies.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: When you consider electors out in some of these jurisdictions,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: they don't have that same level of protection.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you a question.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: Can you break down for like even my kids wanted
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: to know, why did they have an electorial college? Why
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: was it created? Like everybody says the popular vote for
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: shou win, But it was created for a particular reason.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Can you explain why it was created for people that
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: don't know?
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: Yes, it was about it, that really is.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: What it was. The enslaves were offically used.
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: Well, the electoral college was put into place because they
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: feared the or populated states, the bigger states, the New
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: York's of the time, the Pennsylvania's of the time, would
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: basically use their populations, the Bigfoot, all of the agrarian areas,
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: all the farmers. These are the planting class, the people
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: who had the money.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: They the thing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: They were mostly Southern states who were afraid that Northeastern
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: states populations would would take them right, so they the framers.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We didn't have Confederates yet, the Framers of the established
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that they would appropriate based off of.
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: Populations and then allotting respective states to receive votes that
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: they would then cast those votes in an electoral College
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: convention for whoever would be president.
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: I just I do want to point out that they
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: did not have the Confederacy, but they had Confederate mentality already,
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: and it absolutely electoral college is a vestige of avery,
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: and it's absolutely racistic.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: So it preceded slavery, that's not it preceded slavery's ending.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, the country don't see.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: But ever having to give votes to black people didn't
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: consist of this.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: And they split over the fact, didn't some of them
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: want the popular vote? But then somebody wanted Congress to
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: be able to decide the president.
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: They wanted electors, They wanted the people to inform who
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: the delegates would be to the convention to decide the press.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: So why can't we get rid of it now?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: That was a constitutional.
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: Republicans will allow basically the Electoral College to be demolished
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: because they have for power that more power into that system.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Iowa, none of us are moving there.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: That state will remain what it looks like, and therefore
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: they're going to continue to be able to bigfoot over
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: states like there's no reason California, Uh that basically half
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: the vote that comes out of the state means nothing.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: And big a deal with the Iowa poll this week
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: that came.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Out, big ass deal.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: Okay, it's a big deal because the last president to
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: win the state of Iowa's Barack Obama.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And again at that time it was by close margins.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: They were just polled six months before and Donald Trump
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: had a twenty seven twenty seven point lead. To look
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: now and see that she crept up to potentially three
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: points ahead of him in a three point you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: margin of era is incredible, and it's likely because of
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: the abortion bad that was implemented in that state has
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: had now almost seven six months at ago.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And people don't like what they're seeing.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Right, But you know, we're saying it's incredible, and yes,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: it is incredible in terms of what we know about
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the country. But I want to punctuate that point with
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: its fucking incredible that she is in competition with this
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: half witted man. Yes, everything he has done, the fact
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: that the race is this is close is a travesty.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud as a black person, secontally a black woman,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: to see the most qualified woman who is working every
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: branch of government, the executive, the legislative, while she hasn't
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: worked in the judicial but she was on the Senate
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Cristionary Committee, so yeah, right, she had yes, precisely, so
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: she had a role in the judiciary branch as well.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: This man has no plans, no experience. His first job
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: in government was as President of the United States. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the race is this close. So I trust that America
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: will do the right thing tonight. But I've been saying
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: either way, America will get the president they deserve tonight.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's what I was gonna ask you.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So with everything that you just said, right, it being
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that close, when Kamala wins, what is she up against?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Because we talk about a lot about like, no, you
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: still got to challenge your person that you want to win.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: You still got to what is she up against?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of people because that margin is close,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: that are like she shouldn't be there. What does that
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: look like? What does the first day out look like?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: First week out? Well, she's gonna have to use her
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: executive power on day one. We'll have to see what
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the legislative rants looks like. Will democrats right, what will
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: democrats control? Will democrats control the Senate? Will democrats control
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the House? I will will jump out and say I
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: think Democrats will take the House, which will give us
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: another historic position in making Congressman from Brooklyn Hakim Jeffries
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the first black Speaker of the House, the first black
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: male Speaker of the House.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So I can.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Imagine that there are some pockets of conservative America that
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: will lose their mind, and I think she will be
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: if the If the Republicans control the Senate, it can
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: be a deadlock. I mean, because that is the courts,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: that's where you confirm justices. So it can be challenging.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: On the other side of that, though, she will also
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: have to confront demands on the left. She's made some
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: strange bedfellows in bringing coalitions together this cycle, and she
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: has extended herself to Republicans. She has promised Republicans positions
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: in the Cabinet. She's promised to have a bipartisan legislation.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: And so I think on our side, as people who
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: support her, for sure, we still have to hold her
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: accountable to our agenda. And there are people who want,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: for sure absolutely uh ceasefire in Gaza. She's gonna have
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to deal with that. The Black Man agenda that she
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: put out, that was a plan. I want to see
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: it executed, so she she will have her hands full.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: I want to ask you about that if if if
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: she loses, which which I don't think she will, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: don't know, but what would that be a testament to like,
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: do big do big tent politics still work? Or should
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: you be focusing on niche groups? Because she brought together Republicans,
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: She's brought together progressives, She's brought together you know, black men,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Latino men. If do big tent politics still work or
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: should be focused? Should you be focused on I think that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Is big tent politics to focus.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I know what I'm saying.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: If she loses, though, is what I'm saying.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: No, I think should should she lose, which again I
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: don't think that's gonna happen.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Should she lose, I would.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Say that, Uh, the country has shown yet again that
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: they do not want a black woman as president. Even
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: when you see a lot of the exit polls and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you're asking people what are your issues that you care about,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and you have people in Wisconsin and immigration, what is
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: your big immigration?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: And with immigration issue in Wisconsin.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: That is subtext to me for I don't want these
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: black and brown people taking over the country. I think
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: we have to look ahead and start moving in conviction.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: By the year twenty forty four, there will be no
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: racial majority in this country. So I think big ten
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: politics includes all of us. And this is the time
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: that we're seeing what does a government that is for
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the people, by the people of the people look like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: what it includes all of us? Before we would have
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to wait what the white folk's gonna do, how they
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: gonna vote, I think we have to let go of
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that frame of thought, and I think this election tonight
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: will show that is an antiquated way of thinking and
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: moving forward, we finally have the privilege to vote with
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: our convictions and not wait to be led by the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: white voting block of this country.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Charlam Mane, I think the last time we're in the
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: last stages of why big tiic politics.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Big tich politics explain people that you're right.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: So typically, if you're a Republican, you can rely on
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: the fact that the color of your skin is large
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: going to be the prerequisite to you being a member
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: of the party. That's why it is the whitest party
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: of the two party system. Democratic side. Our coalition is
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: built up in order to get to fifty plus one,
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: which is half plus one person or one vote.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: You've got to be able to if the color of our.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: Skin is not the thing that unites us under one party,
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: because we're not enough. We may get eleven percent of
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: the population, we need the other forty whatever.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: To get us over.
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: And so if the Democratic Party has to get a
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: slice of the Latino community, we have to get a
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: slice of the white female vote. We even have to
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: earn a slice of white male votes. And our coalition
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: right now LGBT go beyond that and list all of
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: the others.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: That's what the party's made up of.
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: And it's politics is about that complex because you got.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: To meet everybody where you know where their need is.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: And unfortunately, right now, the white majority, the white conservative majority,
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: is still quite frankly close to fifty one percent. So
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: they could vote together and still be able to hold
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: this then, but soon, and you've already pointed out, it
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: won't be enough to just say we're in community because
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: we're the majority, because we're all white. You're gonna they're
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: gonna have to do and say more to bring more
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: people their direction or for them.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: To win elections.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: I'd like to ask y'all as a calling show, you
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: get the voice from from the American people very directly,
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: almost every single day, and I love to hear. When
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: did the tenor of your listeners begin to shift to
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: a place where it was no longer just skeptical of
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: a Kamala Harris, but it began to really embrace what
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: a Kamala Harris presidents could look like.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even maybe that's on the other side they have.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: I still didn't you're not convicted. I still didn't feel
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: that totally yet.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Now I can tell you when it happened for me personally.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: When if I remember when it was first anounced, I
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: was talking to Charlamagne about it. I didn't I was like,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this is the way, Like I
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: was nervous because I felt like she had been pushed
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: to the back behind Biden. I mean, she's be paid,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: so like you know, she has to be there, but
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know if the push can
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: be strong enough because it was just it was such
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: a great cloud over it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: And then that first day I was like.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, like this was the answer the whole time, Like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: right here I saw the way that the world was
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: reacting to her, and it's the momentum and I felt like, Okay,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: if she really knows her stuff what she does, if
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: she's really qualified, qualified, what she is, she has the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: background when she does.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: All she need is the platform people, And I was here,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: I think people realize when when I think people started
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: not liking Joe Biden, when they started seeing I would
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: say early signs of dementia where he just didn't seem no.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: I would say that, and I think people that was
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: the truth. That's what I seen said. I was like,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: the man ain't got dementia. I wish y'all was stopped up.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: So it's given that's something that we don't know. There
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: was something happening.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: And it wasn't right, and I think a way out.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: And when they see Kamala I think it was like, wow,
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: she is what people are saying, and then we needed
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: to talk to When you start seeing her speaking and
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: see who she is, I mean, he's not wrong.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: It was when that money started coming in, when she
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: raised all that money.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell you she locked up the delegates
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and third, yeah, I'm like, I don't know, people realize,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: like this don't be happening.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Like a black woman is like yeah, well, you guys.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: Speaking of big tints, I think it's really important for
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: us to recognize there was a big tint on the
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: stage that that was there was a powerful moment and
• 18:18

• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the to the Okay, So while they're taking southeast, we
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: are back with live coverage. If you're just now joining us,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: we are live at the Mecca at h U Howard
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: University in Washington, DC, where Kamala Harris is expecting to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: address a very large, lively step dancing crowd tonight. So anyway,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: we are back at it, and we were talking about
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: how we're feeling.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: We asked the young people.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Any numbers, any numbers?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Well right now?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Should we even be looking at numbers right now?
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing, you know, I can't help it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: You get like little increments of numbers coming in. I
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: don't know that we'll see. They will announce on the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: screen over there, so we'll see when they start projecting
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: states for.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: Any I'm here him chering. That usually means we have
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: some to say.
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: And then I think the other thing to know is overall,
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: if maybe we can talk overall vote count. Harris right
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: now has twenty six million, nine hundred and sixty undred
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: twenty eight votes. Donald Trump has thirty million, one hundred
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: and seventy nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety three votes,
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: and others other candidates have a seven hundred and forty
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: five thousand plus vote, So that's a significant.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Number for for the others.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, DC
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: have all been called for Kamala project. She's projected to
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: win those states, and Mississippi certainly started at the top here.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: She's expected to win Delaware too, all that Eski Delaware. Yeah,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, honey, You're I voted for her in Delaware, so.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: You said I made that?
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah? Oh God, happening.
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, can Tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: South Carolina. Way to go in our South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: West Virginia, and.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Wyoming have all been projected.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I wonder if I have because in Delaware, are we
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: also stan to get another black woman like a senate
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester. Has that race been called? Do
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: we have data on that?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I don't see that. Well, I'm gonna twitter.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Y'all got the official here with her, a Senator Lisa
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Blunt Rochester, assuming that will happen, another call on that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Lisa yes has been called.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: With fifty six point four percent of the vote, she
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: is officially a senator.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: She will be what she's sworn. Absolutely.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: And and Maryland, you also have another black woman points
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to go to the Senate and that has.
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: Not yet been called. But she it looks like she's
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: winning right now. She's leading with uh fifty percent of
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: the voter in fifty five point four percent to forty
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: two point six percent. I don't know why it's not called,
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: but she's got y former Governor Larry Hogan in Maryland,
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: Republican governor that she's squaring off again. So if you
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: can't see what's happening behind us, there is a massive
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: crowd right here on Howard's campus who are excited.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Thousand people agree.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: It's the sea of us and it looks beautiful.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: I think they've been serving food, Tiffany, because everybody over
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: there got quiet and still they.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Were all kinds stuff that is true.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe they all went to Chick fil like you, or
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: maybe aunts they maybe Lenard is projecting.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: There was. They weren't dancing.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: They were going like the wobble.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: They've been here for a long time. They've been there
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: for at least five to six o'clock dancing from five.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Tired, so well they stay here the entire time.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she will speak tonight, right regardless.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, she will come out and address the crowd at
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: some point. But again, I you know, I don't think
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: that she will be able to declare anything tonight, And
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: even if she were, I wonder at least if we
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: can confirm that Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester is a senator.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Angelas said that, but I want to shout out Lolo
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: on the side.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know what she could hear. She might not
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: be able to hear us. Yeah, she needs some hand phone.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: She needs some handphones immediately because she didn't hear us
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: call that rest already.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: But thank you.
• 27:07

  Speaker 9: When we did our live show from fam you on Friday,
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: we have the state director from Harris for President on it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: She said she thought that Florida would surprise us, that
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: she thought it was trending in the right direction. But
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: I gotta tell you this is not the right direction.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: That's so kind of you.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't think Florida.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: You know, Florida for the people out there who are
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: are younger and may not remember, Florida used to be
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: a purple state. Uh, it was a swing state. You
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: didn't know which way it was gonna go Ohio.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Same thing.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Used to be a swing state, and now they're not
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the political jagernauts that they once were. Florida is solid red,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Ohio is solid red. Has gone Republican in the past
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I think four election cycles. So we are really looking
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: at a brand new electoral map here tonight. And it's
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: crazy because the entire landscape the map has been thrown
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: out since twenty sixteen. I know we have our brother
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: here from Florida tonight, But Leonard, you'll recall how I
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: feel about Florida.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: At the din of country.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Wait, what excuse me? The country?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, I was just that caught me off guard.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I did well, there actually is data around Florida, I
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: mean really has around Florida.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I would tell you why I did not.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I will tell you why because it has become a
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: safe haven for white supremacists. If you look at activity
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: down there, the FBI has already documented and confirmed that
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the greatest domestic security threat is white supremacy, white supremacy groups,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: and that is largely concentrated in Florida, so much so
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: that there was a challenge in the punitive system down there,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: in the prisons where the prison guards were also members
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: of white supremacy gangs and abusing the prisoners there. So
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: it's prevalent in every part of government in Florida. So yeah,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Florida can get castrated except for Andrews.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, so I'm only picking of every other sentence.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: Paul la was saying, you know, the craziest people in
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Tiffany
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: want to castrate the whole Florida. What were you able
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: to do in Florida, Andrew that was different than other politicians.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: One, I don't think Florida is solidly gread.
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: I think they have beat Democrats into submission in Florida.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: You know, when you win so much of you then
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: win and you change the laws to favor you. Uh,
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: it's hard to compete in the system that is so
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: terribly imbalanced, right, But in our race, I mean we
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: had to literally, I mean I spent two years knocking
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: on doors and talking to people who don't get talked
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: to and follow tics to convince them one that the
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: government was something that should work for them, and two
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: that if I get elected, if it isn't a government
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: that serves you, We're going to bend it so that
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: it does and if it doesn't bend, then we'll break
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: it and we'll start again so that it meets your needs.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: And I think we were able to convince.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: A lot of people that that vision was possible. Now
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: Republicans again, they've taken the state. If you walt Disney World,
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: the biggest corporation in the state of Florida, and the
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: governor literally kicks your teeth in and sets an example
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: for any other corporation in the state.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: If you step.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: Outside of line, like the Gestapo outcome and get you,
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: then you start to quell a lot of opposition voices
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: under that environment. That's exactly what Trump wants to replicate
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: in the country. He wants things to happen because he says,
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: so something have happened.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: If somebody did text me and they said, Iowa, I
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: don't know, they didn't give me.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: No com hold on, I'm a refresh refresh if that
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: were Iowa, that we'd be deafening sound right now.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Maybe and they just said, I'm gonna tell you guy,
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: right now, I see one minute.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: If though, Kamala Harris will back and.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Said what happened? But they ain't text me back yet.
• 31:09
  Speaker 13: I don't have it.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Call said that Trump is a narrow but cliff favorite
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: to win Georgia and North Carolina. If he does carry
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: those states, Harris would need to sweep Michigan, Pennsylvania, and
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Wisconsin to win a real possibility with a tall order.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Nonetheless, it is a tall order. But I think she
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: she'll hold the blue.
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: Wall they call it some states. This is frustrated. We're
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: at also behind us. They're like, let I tell you
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: she won New York. That's called and I think, okay,
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: that's what I was. That's what I saw a minute ago.
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: But I didn't know if Yeah, that's called Rhode Island.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: Did I say Rhode Island?
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I killed? I mean, let me, let me use my
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: little handed danda. Vice President Harris now has ninety nine
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: electoral votes, Okay, one hundred and seventy eight, oh so minus.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Still it's about one hundred short of uh.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: And the poles still haven't closed on the West coast.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Correct, No, all, but none of the battlegrounds have come right.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: None of the battlegrounds that matter for Kamala Harris have
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: come in.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Well, it looks like Michigan Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, of course
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: is still out.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Let me ask you guys a question for the younger
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: people that are watching right now, why would they want
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: to jump into politics? Right because you look at politics
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: and you see that they go into your life, They
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: attack your family, they attack your values, they attack your morals,
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: they make up stuff. Why would somebody young, why would
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: you tell them it's a good reason to get into politics.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I think I'm stealing from my brother Andrew here, but
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I think one thing that white supremacy has done Andrew again,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: these are Andrews words that I'm stealing, But they have
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: captured our imagination. They have taken our ability away to
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: imagine what democracy would look like if we are its architects.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: And so the same thing that we tell people about voting,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: you try to give people if you stop ten young
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: people and say, okay, you're in charge of this five
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: block radius. You in charge of when the trash picked up,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: You in charge the way they go to school. You
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: in charge of how to school looks. You in charge
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: of how much taxes people are going to pay, and
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: to keep all this functioning. You get to run all
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: of that. That's why you go into politics because you
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: get to shape what society looks like when it includes you.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: And so if you give it to people that way,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: where it's a blank wall and you can be the
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: architect of democracy, how do you want to shape it?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: That's an incredible amount of power and an incredible amount
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: of privilege. The question is do you want to rule
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: or do you want to lead? If you want to lead,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: this is the perfect time to get into politics. And
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I would encourage young people to do. And you don't
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: have to be the candidate. You can be a campaign manager,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you can be a fundraiser, you can be you can
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: work on a campaign if any of these numbers, a
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: communications director. There's so much that that can impact political campaigns.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: What would you say, Andrew, because you actually were a
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: candidate and what made you I mean, e's been elected
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: that you were what eighteen?
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: I mean, well, the last time I lost an election
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: was third grade and from that point all the way
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: through until I was forty, you know, forty one years old,
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: I held the elective office. And for me, I almost
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: think it's an instinct that when you see something that's wrong,
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: that you don't like, and it frustrates you so much
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: to see it wrong every day in and every day out.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: The people who are different are likely to figure out
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: a path to how it is that they shift that
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: thing that brings them annoyance every day. And if that
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: annoyance is greater than an annoyance means your livelihood, meaning
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: you're sick of watching your mother struggle to pay rent
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: or mortgage, or your father, you know, who suffers some
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: from alcoholism because of his frustration on the job that
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: he can never move up, then the urgency around how
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: you shift the system becomes that much greater for you.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: So for me, it almost felt like a reflexive instinct
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: that if the shit ain't right, then you do something
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: to make it right.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: But how does it make you feel when you you know,
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: you started so early, you did what you were supposed
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: to do, you follow the rules, And then you see
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: somebody like a Donald Trump, who really wasn't a politician
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: from nowhere, show signs of racism to me, and all
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: the different things grabbing by the pussy and all the
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: things that he be said, and it seems like people
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: just say it is and they're letting him as president.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: I mean, now he's going against Kamala Harras, that just seems.
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: I think beds fellows. Bedfellows you know, get to bed
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: very strangely sometimes. And in his case, it's so much
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: easier to unite the people around a fight against extinction.
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: Like if you feel viscerally that everything you know love
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: about a place and that you want your child to
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: grow up in and also experience about a place, yes,
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: you're gonna fight heaven and earth to keep that thing
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: for them because you think it means their future, their
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: future prosperity. If I had a guarantee that if I
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: voted this way, my children's life would be better, they
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: would experience it better, and you'd have a guarantee that
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: was the case. I'd be blindly Republican too if that
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: was the party offering that right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: But let me ask you, Angela into how do you
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: deal with the fake news so much? Because people, you know,
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: this is one thing that Charlamagne and Lauren will say,
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: people call the radio and they don't know what's true
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: and what's not right. You know, we say look it up,
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: but when they.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Google half the time.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: What you're looking for, so they don't know how to
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: find what's proper.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: They hear a candidate and the candidate is lying, say
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: they don't know who they should agree. So what do
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: you tell those people? Because they are trying to do
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: their homework. They are trying to do their research, but
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: a lot of the research is ps.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I you know, people will disagree with me because they
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: say you can never blame voters, and I'm probably a
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: unique voice in which I will sometimes blame voters. It
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: is a responsibility to participate in democracy. So people who say, well,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know how Vice President Harris feels, or I
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: don't know where she stands on something, her plan is accessible.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: You can literally go to her website and see where
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: she stands. You can go to Donald Trump's website and
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: see where he stands, and you can make an informed
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: decision about which candidate speaks to you. Now, when you
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: pull out larger and just look at the media landscape,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: you know, I've been navigating newsrooms for twenty four years
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: of my life. It has been incredibly frustrating envy. I
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: will tell you, my heart is breaking watch uh to
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: watch journalism die a slow death. And the challenge is
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: because there are so many people in newsrooms who don't
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: look like us, who are willing to extend humanity and
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: understanding the people who are, you know, spitting in our face,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: trying to convince us it's rain. There are people who say, well,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: my grandmother voted for Donald Trump, and she's.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Not so she's not so bad.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: And those people are producers and so they're willing to
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: extend humanity to people when they it's lazy reporting, lazy journalism.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: When you interview people and they say, just today they
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: said there were exit polls. Well you're who did you
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: vote for Donald Trump?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I like his policies. So I'm like screaming, ask why,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Ask what policies? This reporter said, well, what policies? And
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: the woman just said, I mean all of them. You
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: you don't, yeah, right, you were voting for him for
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: a specific reason.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: I think we underestimate how you know, people will forget
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: what you did, they'll forget what you said, but they'll
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: never forget.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: How you made them feel.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: And I was watching this Asian guy on CNN and
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: he was saying that, you know, he feels like his
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: small business did better four years ago when Trump was
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: in office. I think a lot of that has to
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: do with PPP. I think a lot of that has
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: to do with those stimulus checks. And I think that's
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: what people are, that's that's people still remember that energy.
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: Well, there's there's one person standing in the wings right
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: here that makes us feel a certain way. Aaron Haynes
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: is a good friend of ours, a brilliant political strategy
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: or political commentator. Aaron, We're gonna scoot down Tiff and
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: let her come sit right here because she ain't got
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: no handphones.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: That's scoot on down, Angel. Did you talk about New
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Hampshire already?
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: No?
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I did not talk about New Hampshire. You're breaking news.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: The Fox News decision desk is project projecting a win
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: for her in New Hampshire.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: How many electoral votes is that?
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: It doesn't New Hampshire is not a lot of electoral votes.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: But why new Hampshire significant is because yeah, yeah, so
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: that's why we paid so much attention to New Hampshire.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Hear that New Hampshire was projected for vice president.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: How should we feel about this?
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: The electoral Do you want to tell them what you're
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: looking at?
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: The electoral.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: You have? What source are you looking at?
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: This is Google?
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Okay? Where did they pull it from?
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Google? Associated press apes?
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: What you know, you know a little bit about a.
• 39:22
  Speaker 14: Look, I mean I think what it means is it
• 39:24
  Speaker 14: is what ten o'clock, I'm forty three, you know, so
• 39:28
  Speaker 14: I mean it's it's it's nine forty three on Tuesday,
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: is you know sixty one degree? I know that's right,
• 39:34
  Speaker 14: he counting the votes because this thing is not over.
• 39:37
  Speaker 14: I mean, I'm from Georgia. I know Fulton County has
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: not come in, Atlanta has not come in, So like
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: we can't even really look at those numbers coming out
• 39:45
  Speaker 14: of Georgia as as real right now. Philadelphia is another
• 39:48
  Speaker 14: big city I just you know, live there. Know that
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: that is another county that comes in super late. Detroit
• 39:54
  Speaker 14: is another place that is going to come in super late.
• 39:56
  Speaker 14: So you've got a lot of big cities where we
• 39:57
  Speaker 14: know there are a lot of votes that still haven't
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: been counted yet. And so you know, this thing is
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: far far from over. That's that's what I know. Looking
• 40:04
  Speaker 14: at this map and also looking.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: At the clock.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Does Trump try to call it tonight?
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so he's gonna try to call it. Whether
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: did did we get to the other side?
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: And Kamala got two hundred and eighty six electoral votes
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: he's still gonna try to call it tonight. I think
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: we know that, like this is a part of their plan.
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: And then if she ends up picking up additional votes
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: going towards Saturday or even on Sunday, he will say
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: that they tried to steal it. And that's the same
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: thing that happened. It's the exact same playbook from January sixth,
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty one. We know what it is, we know
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: what we're up against. I think right now I'll be
• 40:35
  Speaker 9: honest and saying my nerves are bad. I didn't want
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: the gap to be this big there. Some outlets are
• 40:41
  Speaker 9: projecting that he won Texas and it's with fifty percent
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: of the vote in and I was hoping that it
• 40:47
  Speaker 9: would be a little closer, especially because we haven't talked
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: much about all the Senate races. But Colin already is
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: also running against Ted Cruz in Texas, and I have
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: a sneaky suspicion that if the margin is that big
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: in Texas with Donald Trump, Colin alrets got a little bit.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold out hope for Colin Alright. He's a
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: former NFL player, member of Congress who's trying to move
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: to the upper tambers. I'm gonna holpe member to see
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: comressor black clawk is. I'm gonna hold out hope that
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: he could still because we have seen those those split ballots.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: And I'll say Texas is another state that they keep
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: promising Texas is gonna be purple, It's gonna swing purple.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: We have yet to see that. Every cycle we think
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: it's gonna go purple, and we haven't seen it. So
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I'm actually not as surprised that Texas may go for
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump again tonight.
• 41:26
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, I think I think some people, you know, wonder
• 41:29
  Speaker 14: about that and and and the possibility of that happening,
• 41:32
  Speaker 14: just because Texas literally has you know, the largest uh
• 41:35
  Speaker 14: you know, Black population in the country, and yet you
• 41:39
  Speaker 14: know that does not necessarily translate into the numbers. Democratic
• 41:43
  Speaker 14: demography does not equal destiny, right, That's the thing that
• 41:45
  Speaker 14: we that we know and that we have seen. And
• 41:48
  Speaker 14: so you know Texas well, I think certainly Democrats have
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: made inroads better of Rourke came very close when he
• 41:54
  Speaker 14: challenged Ted CRUs and so now you have you know,
• 41:57
  Speaker 14: Colin Alred certainly within striking distance. But we don't don't
• 42:00
  Speaker 14: know what's gonna happen with that race.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Yet it also punctuates aaron the Latino community as well,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: because so often you hear the Latino vote, right, and
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: when you disaggregate these communities. There are more than twenty
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: countries of origin, there are different perspectives.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: It's like if you put.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: All the black people in the world, black folks from Kenya,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: black folks from America, black folks from West Africa. Right
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: even here in America, you know a black person who
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: grew up in La versus somebody who grew up in Georgia.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: It's very different.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: And so in Texas, even with like within the Mexican population,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: there are some very conservative Mexicans, I mean people's views
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: on immigration, right and not to be assumed.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you know.
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: And I want to say, speaking of immigration, Ohio is
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: just called for Donald Trump as well, seventeen electoral votes.
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: That's not super surprising because Davey Vans, of course comes
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: from Ohio. But I bring that up because some of
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: the nastiest rhetoric we've heard about immigrants so far, hell,
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: I would say in a decade was what they've said
• 42:58
  Speaker 9: about folks in Springfield, what they alleged about folks in Springfield.
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: So I just wanted to punctuate this moment with hate
• 43:05
  Speaker 9: can still win in some of these in some of
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: these states. But Aaron, what, what what are you projecting overall? Well,
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: hate win or will love? I mean I think that
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: that will we turn the page. I mean, I don't know, right,
• 43:17
  Speaker 9: I mean I do. I Am not going to sit
• 43:20
  Speaker 9: up here in Nate Silver this thing. I can ensure
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: gut say, my gut says that it's going to be
• 43:26
  Speaker 9: close and that we were likely will not have a
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: result tonight. But that does not mean that there was cheating.
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: That does not mean that anything has been stolen. It
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: means that the votes are being counted. It means that
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: millions and millions.
• 43:40
  Speaker 14: Of Americans participated in this election, and we need to
• 43:44
  Speaker 14: see we need to let democracy play out like that
• 43:46
  Speaker 14: is what I can say for sure.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: I have a question for you, Aaron down here, Hi,
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Lauren.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: So, with everything that happened there, that we saw in
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: that state, and all the rhetoric and all that was
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: being spewed, and the fact that you know it's going
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: with going to Trump, what could Kama Love have done
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: like in the lead up to this point, that could
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: have changed that. Is there any like I thought she
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: echoing everything that was said, right, Like she's on these platforms,
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: she's talking about it, and it's still they still need
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: to a trunk Like what do you how would you
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: have advised her differently? I mean, I'm I'm definitely not
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: in the campaign advising business your perspective. But what I
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: mean say, what I will say is, you know, it
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: really was not about what the vice president could or
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: could not have done in Ohio, right, I mean, we
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: are talking about the former president being somebody who has
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: been in our.
• 44:32
  Speaker 14: National politics for the better part of a decade. Right,
• 44:35
  Speaker 14: he is baked in with his voters, His base is
• 44:38
  Speaker 14: locked in. There really is not much that he could
• 44:41
  Speaker 14: do or say for the people who support him that
• 44:43
  Speaker 14: would turn them away. Even you know, hateful, hateful, racist
• 44:47
  Speaker 14: hoax you know about Haitian legal Haitian immigrants is not
• 44:51
  Speaker 14: going to turn them away. And so that was not
• 44:53
  Speaker 14: a deal breaker for his voters. We know that he
• 44:56
  Speaker 14: won Ohio in the past. Uh, the issue of a
• 45:00
  Speaker 14: abortion was also an issue that was on the ballot
• 45:02
  Speaker 14: in Ohio literally had been on the ballot. They recently
• 45:05
  Speaker 14: had you know, the abortion band that was put in
• 45:07
  Speaker 14: place there the question there was also a question about
• 45:09
  Speaker 14: whether that was going to mobilize women in that state.
• 45:12
  Speaker 14: So I'd be very curious to see what the gender
• 45:14
  Speaker 14: gap was in Ohio. But but yeah, I mean for
• 45:17
  Speaker 14: his voters, something like that, that racist hoax that came up,
• 45:23
  Speaker 14: that that was not something that was going to turn
• 45:25
  Speaker 14: them away, and and and that was and and that
• 45:28
  Speaker 14: and and they were not really voters that that the
• 45:31
  Speaker 14: vice president was really going to be able to persuade
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: and certainly was not going to be able to persuade
• 45:35
  Speaker 14: them by saying that his hateful rhetoric was something that
• 45:39
  Speaker 14: they shouldn't support. I mean, he said many hateful, sexist,
• 45:44
  Speaker 14: racist things over the years that have not been a
• 45:46
  Speaker 14: deal breaker for those voters.
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: As anybody else nervous looking at these numbers because I'm
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: getting nervous. I'm just telling you so much read for me.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: I want to do. But that's how that Matt fills in.
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: I'm just nervous now.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: I want to do author finishing right there.
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: I think you have to.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Regardless, I see the iotas as she wrote, yes, and
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the homecoming court No, no, it's not the homecoming court.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: It is some more D nine students who missed it
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: on the first run. They're gonna come and make us
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: feel a little better. They're gonna make us feel a
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: little better.
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: How do you think the Harras Walls team feeling right now?
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: You know, the wallroom right now?
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: What you think?
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I am going to assume that they feel joyful because
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: they're not far from us. They're just feed away from us,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: somewhere here on Howard's campus. It's still early in the evening.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think they had the expectation that we would
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: know results tonight.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: She is in the home of her alma mater.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Uh So, I I don't think that that they share
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: this nervous energy. You know, I don't have nervous energy,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: and be I understand why you do. I think that's,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: you know, part of the part of the evening. But
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: I'm optimistic about tonight, and I think I hope that
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: they are as well.
• 46:56
  Speaker 14: And look, I mean, they they knew that this was
• 46:59
  Speaker 14: gonna be a all. This was going to be a
• 47:01
  Speaker 14: close election. She had one hundred and seven days to
• 47:03
  Speaker 14: put on a campaign, and she has come with a
• 47:05
  Speaker 14: striking distance of the White House. I mean that certainly
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: was not certainly was not what the former president expected. Right,
• 47:12
  Speaker 14: he certainly is wondering why he's even on the ballot
• 47:15
  Speaker 14: with with Kamala Harris. But here they are neck and neck.
• 47:18
  Speaker 14: I mean, this thing could not be close. How are
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: looks right now? Right now, right and and and now
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: Michigan is too close to call. Pennsylvania's too close to call.
• 47:30
  Speaker 14: We alwaysknew, yeah, yeah, but but that.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Map is filling in the way that that map it's.
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: All all of that is mostly southern states. You have
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: the entire West coast that have California a huge I mean,
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: is it forties?
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: How many?
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: It's not looking at the so they have the red
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: and the blue. And they're getting nervous right now because
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: they say, look, I'm explaining to them what they're looking at.
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: It was always gonna come down to about seven states.
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: But you know what, we have more of seven people. Well,
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: because if by nine have joined us to camp, we're gonna.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Give you all a mic to tell us who you are,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: where you're from, and how you're feeling. Just really quickly,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: we're gonna pass the mic down real fast. We're gonna
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: start down here. Andrew, you got a mic, Andrew is
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: not listening or he can't hear me. Everybody's gonna introduce
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: just real quick, just like we did a little roll call,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: because you guys are gonna pass that mic down and
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: they'll pass this one really quick.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: First name where you from?

  Speaker 1: Okay? Trayvon Molly, I'm from Plainfield, New Jersey.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Hey, right, Okay, filing and get on from Chicago, Illinois.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Xavier Stirland from Carl Springs, Colorado.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: Nike Morgan Durham, a graduating senior from Michigan. I heard
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: that Destiny Pridgeon from North Carolina. Hello, I'm Ekey Jabrero
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: and I'm from Omahona, Rasca. I'm you Osmond Edmonson and
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: I'm from Jersey by way of Brooklyn, Jersey. I'm Mackenzie
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Campbell from PG County, Maryland.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and I'm from.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: My name is Cole Waltson and I'm from Job of Maryland.

  Speaker 9: Were happy to see you all tonight. We are grateful
• 49:18
  Speaker 9: for you coming on with us. You'll get back to
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: this show.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: I like your.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Madame Vice President Pamela Harris, all right now, all right
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: while they stand here and watch. Aaron, we thank you
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: so much for coming on with us.
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: Listen, it's been fun hanging out.
• 49:33
  Speaker 14: I mean, y'all are doing the work out here, and
• 49:35
  Speaker 14: I know the work continues even beyond tonight, because whoever
• 49:40
  Speaker 14: is president on the other side of this, we have
• 49:42
  Speaker 14: got to keep paying attention to how people govern and
• 49:44
  Speaker 14: how the agenda that the folks that are listening to y'all,
• 49:49
  Speaker 14: how that agenda is fulfilled by I know y'all are
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: gonna keep holding them accountable. I don't even have to
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: worry about that. So y'all are on the case. So
• 49:57
  Speaker 14: that means that is a victory for democracy, and I
• 50:00
  Speaker 14: just salute all.
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: Of y'all accountable, accountable to they start jailing journalists.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Fast, you got, that's a legit concern.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: I know, I.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Know, I don't.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: I can't go there. We gotta figure this out.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: But he literally earlier than I was like, it's gonna
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: be a blowout.
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: I ain't all that.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I told you. My grandma prayed before we got here.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: We could looking at you, Grandmaty.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: But you know there there is something to that.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: And just before you leave, Aaron, you wrote a column
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: talking about that very thing, about if Donald Trump's fear
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: and you know, persecution, I would think it could be
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: a strategy.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Why can't joy? Absolutely?
• 50:48
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean we know that that joy has been
• 50:51
  Speaker 14: a radical strategy for people, for black women in this country,
• 50:55
  Speaker 14: and so the idea that that was front and center
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: in this race should be no surprise to anyone, you know.
• 51:00
  Speaker 14: And and pushing through the fear and the concerns that
• 51:05
  Speaker 14: so many black folks in this country had because this
• 51:08
  Speaker 14: this election is existential for us, right, so many black folks,
• 51:13
  Speaker 14: people of color, women, LGBTQ plus people feeling like, uh,
• 51:18
  Speaker 14: you know, everything is on the line for them depending
• 51:20
  Speaker 14: on the outcome of this election. And yet for us
• 51:23
  Speaker 14: to literally be here, you know, at this rally and
• 51:26
  Speaker 14: and and and just hearing and seeing the joy just
• 51:31
  Speaker 14: even as the returns are coming in and we know
• 51:33
  Speaker 14: that people are anxious, we know that people are fearful,
• 51:36
  Speaker 14: uh as they watch that map, just as you're doing
• 51:38
  Speaker 14: over there, Charlemagne, like, still being able to do that
• 51:41
  Speaker 14: with joy, that is that is I mean you know
• 51:44
  Speaker 14: that is that is definitely among the most American things
• 51:49
  Speaker 14: in our community.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: Regardless of who wins, I think America does have to
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: find a way to come together because, you know, one
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: thing I'm realizing is none of this matters, right. The
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: sexism don't matter, the racism don't matter, the anthemism no matter,
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: the homophobia don't matter. So what are we going to
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: do as a community, as a society knowing that all
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: of this really does exist among us and we can't
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: be delusional about it anymore?
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: But we are delusional.
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: I don't think I think that there was a time
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: where I felt more hopeful. There wasn't that I thought
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: that it was completely a race. But I do think
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: when Barack Obama won in two thousand and eight and
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: when he went again in twenty twelve, I had more
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: hope than I did when.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump won in twenty sixteen. When when Donald Trump went.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: In twenty sixteen, I was like, who the are these
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: people that I have to work with?
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: That I have to consult with?
• 52:38
  Speaker 13: That?
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: I have to think it was more shocking, and I
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: don't think anybody was son.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Trump, he just won. Jesus freak at MSNBC.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump wins Kansas.
• 52:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I have Kansas maybe yet because I was expected,
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: but you're right, he did win Kansas.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: I will just say though, no, no, no, I'm just I'm
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: just saying because you're right, but I was just like,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: it's my Twitter feed got.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Me up to date.
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: All of this looks about white.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: It looks about why.
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: It still looked like the Confederates that wanted us to
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: be represented with three fists.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: The point is we I don't I don't know how
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I am going.
• 53:12
  Speaker 9: To feel tomorrow or on Saturday if this is this
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: election is called on for Trump. I just I cannot
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: even fathom it. I don't want to consider that.
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: Again, how do y'all look at the black voters that
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: said they're not voting for Kamala and they voted for Trump.
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: How do you look at those family members?
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I don't have no.
• 53:30
  Speaker 7: Family members like that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: Angel, I don't.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Even know Trump people you like, people in my family
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: have said things like this.
• 53:40
  Speaker 9: Maybe you changed their minds, but I remember specific Maybe
• 53:43
  Speaker 9: I'm in extended families too. My god brother did but
• 53:46
  Speaker 9: he voted No, no, no, no, no. He was saying that
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: he thought some of the stuff that Trump did was positive,
• 53:51
  Speaker 9: and then he saw how they were talking about me,
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: I mean.
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: Personal family, like you meant, you know.
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: I gotta tell you, I have not met a lot
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: of black Trump supporters. I just haven't. I've met people
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: who said that they like Stimmy's.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Or they like PPP until their friends got arrested, or
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: you know, like I've met those folks, or that they
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: thought that he was right on immigration.
• 54:12
  Speaker 14: That they weren't going to vote, or maybe they weren't
• 54:14
  Speaker 14: voting for her, but then they weren't going to vote
• 54:16
  Speaker 14: for anybody.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Large enough in number v I really I think that
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: was such a false media narrative that so many people
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: glopped onto and elevated and perpetuated, and it's like, whoa
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: time out? You guys, Like these are random soundbites that
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: nobody's bothering to ask the follow up. Nobody's bothering to say, well,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: are you registered to vote? Did you vote in the
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: last election? Are you registered to vote this cycle? I
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: would be very curious to see the exit polls. We
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: already know that the GOP has gotten twelve percent of
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: the black mail vote specifically last cycle. There is no
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: evidence that that has grown in number or gotten smaller
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: in number. So I'll wait to see that some of
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: the exit poles, But.
• 54:54
  Speaker 14: Like eight to fifteenvatives, And again, the question is what
• 55:00
  Speaker 14: do white people do? It's election because white people are
• 55:03
  Speaker 14: the Americans that are voting for Trump, voting for Republicans
• 55:07
  Speaker 14: in the majority. The extent to which his support is
• 55:10
  Speaker 14: eroded among white Americans, not the extent to which he's
• 55:14
  Speaker 14: attracting other people whose votes have had to mitigate, right, people,
• 55:19
  Speaker 14: who are the white people who are voting for Trump?
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Like that is the point? But you know, Charlamagne, you.
• 55:23
  Speaker 14: You also make a really good point about the country
• 55:25
  Speaker 14: coming back together and and our politics being about more
• 55:30
  Speaker 14: than just who wins or loses, right, but about our
• 55:33
  Speaker 14: shared values and our shared sense of fate, which seems
• 55:35
  Speaker 14: to kind of feel lost in all of this, right, Like,
• 55:38
  Speaker 14: how do you how do we really get back to that?
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: On the other side of the selection.
• 55:45
  Speaker 14: Hugely hugely difficult, so divided, and so many people who
• 55:51
  Speaker 14: it seems, you know, just really don't care about their
• 55:53
  Speaker 14: fellow Americans, right Like, how how how does that sense
• 55:56
  Speaker 14: of community?
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: How do you begin to foster that?
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: Believe that's what the pessimism comes into play now because
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: you're looking at this map right now, you're.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Like, damn yeah, you know what.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Crazy though, When I went into vote today because I
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: was earlier, I was a little pessimistic and I went
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: into vote and the women who like were there that
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: was helping out everything their energy, I was like, it
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: just felt like it felt so good. It made me
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: feel like, Okay, we got this. And then things change
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: or whatever, so the feeling, you know, changes a little bit.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, like when people go into the voting
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: polls and they get that feeling, I hope that that
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: in real life, like you were saying right, like, you
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: don't run into like a thousand and one people who
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: support Trump every single day in your real life, but
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: the media makes you feel like that in real life.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: When I walked into that poll, I'm like, I hope
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: everyone is.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Getting this, but they feel good and they feel energized,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: and then you know what I mean.
• 56:44
  Speaker 14: I love what you're saying because we have made voting
• 56:49
  Speaker 14: sound like such a burden. No, I've made voting sound
• 56:53
  Speaker 14: you know, people were scared to go to the polls.
• 56:55
  Speaker 14: They were scared of what might happen when they got
• 56:57
  Speaker 14: to the precinct. You know what happened when I went
• 56:58
  Speaker 14: to my precinct single poll worker, that was there was
• 57:01
  Speaker 14: a black woman me too, I think, and then we're
• 57:04
  Speaker 14: black black women like that, you know. They yeah, the
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: part can they got last for any They clapped the
• 57:10
  Speaker 14: woman he came in. It was it was good.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: It was a festive. It was a positive experience.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well if they just calling another thing, Yeah
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: they are.
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: Trump just got tim more. I don't know who we want.
• 57:23
  Speaker 14: We're gonna, we're gonna get there and there we know,
• 57:25
  Speaker 14: you got all gotta gotta I gotta gotta get the
• 57:28
  Speaker 14: phones back on.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: And it's focused. Yeah, I was the way he when
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: he got but yeah, I offered him mine. He is
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: focused on the glasses on twice, took him off three
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: to what he gets his headphones on.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: I think that's because he's so used to watching these maps,
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: you know, from his own Okay, yeah, that's what I'm
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: going to study understanding of what we're seeing tonight.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as you've been over there, study Andrew.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Tell Us tell us black junk happened with the electoral
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: College is.
• 57:59
  Speaker 8: Now so there are reports that are coming in right
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: now around the early I mean the ten PM closing states.
• 58:07
  Speaker 8: I haven't been able to assess all of all of those,
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: but let me just describe for a minute, because some
• 58:13
  Speaker 8: people may be confused by what they are seeing.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Around. Some of the states have been called some of y'all.
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: Break down a purple state too, because you mentioned Tiffany.
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: It's in purple states. And some people are saying, well,
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: what is a purple stated?
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: No blue?
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but bring are the purple states of the states
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: that don't go predictably Democrat or predicted Republican any state
• 58:32
  Speaker 8: wide race.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: So they flip back and forth between.
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: Democratic top of the ticket and Republican top of the ticket.
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: But others may have heard this term the red mirage,
• 58:43
  Speaker 8: and it's less known than we know about the blue
• 58:45
  Speaker 8: wave and that kind of thing. But the red mirage,
• 58:49
  Speaker 8: which is connected to then the blue shift, is the
• 58:52
  Speaker 8: early part of the night. The results that come in
• 58:55
  Speaker 8: tend to favor the Republican party because of the way
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: in which because the order at which boats are counted,
• 59:02
  Speaker 8: so the early counting of the vote's show may show
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: a Trump lead in certain places. And then the reason
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: why they call the red mirage is because the mirage
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: doesn't really exist. It leads you to believe you're gonna
• 59:16
  Speaker 8: get that red thing. But as the night goes on
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: and the counting continues, a blue shift starts to happen,
• 59:22
  Speaker 8: and that state goes from looking red or I think
• 59:25
  Speaker 8: some of the networks that not are using a darker
• 59:29
  Speaker 8: hue of red to suggest leading Republican into a blue column.
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: And it's not because there's any cheating that's been done.
• 59:37
  Speaker 8: Is that they've added more votes to the tally. And
• 59:40
  Speaker 8: as they add more votes, large wheels that were either
• 59:43
  Speaker 8: mailed in or submitted as provisional ballots that get counted.
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: When they get counted and qualified, they move into the total,
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: and that total then moves. What looked like when you
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: went to bed a state that was red and you
• 59:56
  Speaker 8: wake up the next morning and that state happens to
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: be blue.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Is not because anybody stolen they votes. Is because more votes.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: Were counted and then the calculation into the total of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 8: those votes have then moved that state to a.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Blue column. So don't be discouraged when you're looking at it. Oh,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I just know we do better.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 8: Wait, that's why we warned people don't assume that the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 8: election is over the day that we vote.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Give it time for all the votes to be counted.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: And it looks different. Speak of it.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: Need a logo three right now.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't take your headphones out, scoop down because you.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: Haven't been in an arena. You have been in an
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: arena when the team is getting blown out.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: That's how I feel right now.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: But that's because it's all like think of.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: If you look at the actual map right the red
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: states are actually mostly in the south.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: Those polling locations have closed.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: You're seeing projections even when there's zero point zero off
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: the votes counted.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: So this is usual.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: This is absolutely usual. We haven't seen California yet, but it's.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Not just California Washington.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: I think we'll get Nevada.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 9: But while we're moving down, we are bringing on our
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: good friend and brother Rock and Is Howard sweatshirt is
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: look like Quinton James.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: It looks very similar.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: I can't this is Quentin James.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: The collective fact also vote to live, dear partner of
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: ours at Native lampod and and and I know he's
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: happy to be in joint collapse conversation with the breakfast club.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: You this is not on trends.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Can we put Quin's mike on there? We go, Quentin, Yes,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: we need some hope because people spiral in real time.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: Some people spiral, didn't y'all I was talking about or something.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Please look at his knee cap up and everything.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: It's early, so we know a lot of votes are
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 10: still going to be counters to night from election day.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 10: We saw an overperformance today from our folks showing up
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 10: to vote. Kind of procrastinated, but they did show up.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 10: So I think we're gonna see these numbers kind of
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 10: shift throughout the night. And as we told everybody, you've
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 10: got to be patient, right, It's gonna take a while
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 10: to count all these votes. We want every vote counted.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 10: We know that people still in line voting right now
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 10: and states like Arizona, Nevada, so let's be patient count
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 10: of your vote.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna be all right.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 8: So clearly, you know, the predicted of a dramatic win
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 8: by either party. There's no state that is falling one
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: way so far that suggests as dramatic win by anybody.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: Thing it's on park.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 8: Everything is pretty much on par I think people have
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: higher you know, had higher hopes for Georgia. I don't
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: know where the most populated centers are with their total tally,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: so around Atlanta and in the county surrounding Atlanta, what
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: percentage of that vote is already in. If we're talking
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 8: about forty maybe even forty fifty of the vote, know
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 8: that you have half the state's population of the entire
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 8: state of Georgia is roughly populated in this area and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: just around it.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: And so we need to let those votes get in
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: and be counted again.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 8: Uh, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 9: I just wanted on this point one of the things
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: that Tip brought up earlier too, and I think it's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: so important to contextualize the vote in our folks pushing
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 9: forward anyway, being resilient anyway.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: The Philadelphia City, Philadelphia's city.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: Commissioner just said that several polling places were targeted by
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 9: bomb threats. We knew about that in Georgia. Today we
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: heard that it was, you know, most likely from a
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 9: Russian actor. These bomb threats in Philadelphia going right to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 9: the heart of where black folks are and where elections
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: can be decided. How have you seen that intimidation work
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 9: against our folks or not at all.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 10: I mean, listen, it's an age old trick. We knew
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 10: this was a possibility. It's very disheartening to see it
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 10: happen in real life. I think before we got to remember, right,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 10: this is again the same tactics use against our people
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 10: throughout the sixties, this kind of terrorism. The thing that's
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 10: interesting is there weren't bomb threats in Wyoming or Nebraska.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 10: They've been in George, been in Philadelphia, been in places
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 10: where we know black voter's gonna show up and vote.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 10: And so I think that also is a little bit
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 10: of a tell to me that people are afraid of
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 10: our folks coming out to vote, so they're gonna resort
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 10: to those tactics.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: But again, I.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 10: Gotta give it up to black voters. Before today, over
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 10: fifty percent of the black women who were registered to
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 10: vote in North Carolina, in Georgia, they'd already voted, right,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 10: And so I think we're gonna see a record breaking
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 10: turnout from black women tonight, and we got to recognize
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 10: that and give it up to black voters in spite
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 10: of all these threats that we're seeing.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: I do have to ask, you know, we talked about
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: Kamala Harris so much and she didn't have the time
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: of course Trump had. Is there anything that she should
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 7: have done that she didn't get a chance to or
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 7: that you wish you would have seen her do any
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 7: at all?
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 10: I mean, look, in campaigns, you have three resources, right, time, money,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 10: in people. She didn't have a lot of time, right,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 10: So she had a lot of money, had a lot
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 10: of people. But the time issue, I think is the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 10: only thing I would look at as something at her
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 10: disc advantage. We kind of heard reports today of you know,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 10: concerns around black voter turnout in Philadelphia, for instance. She
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 10: didn't have the time to really dig in there. Again,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 10: one hundred day campaign has been phenomenal, but we've never
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 10: seen anything like this in presidential history before.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: So that's the one piece. It's just the time issue.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 10: I don't think she could have spent again more money
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 10: here or there, or have more people organized here or
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: there the clock.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you, guys, one piece of.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 9: Show I was It's not even about actually from what
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 9: what what Tip would normally say is the dick of
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: the country. There is a Florida state attorney who was
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 9: suspended by Ron DeSantis by the name of Monique Worrell
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 9: who has won her seatback. So that is one piece
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 9: of good news in black history in Florida to command
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 9: and to be proud of.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: I'm the only one celebrating it the show. Thanks Lauren
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: hop us In. Well.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: I want to say the NFO because the way that
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: you're posing the question, it sounds you and Leonard are
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: both like you know you, you sound like you're not
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: as hopeful, and I just want to just I know
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: they're both. They said, what y'all cold? Why they say
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: like that's that girl is so high over here?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: Because stop playing the music. There was the energy that
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: was him not him no more, No, I don't know
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: it back.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: Up spiritually music.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's quiet because they're looking at their water projection, right,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: and I just want to encourage the stop looking at the.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: Project I need to stop looking at Okay, try it.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 8: We wonder why when we wake up and the Republicans
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 8: who are right now rejoicing and then sad tomorrow.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: You can understand that if you're in this move.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 8: Because you're expecting these things to look a certain way,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 8: they go to bed with it assured that it looks
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 8: a certain way, and then as the folks get counted.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: They wake up tomorrow and they said the Democrats stole it.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: How they went away.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: I think the only reason why like their reaction is
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: probably how some people are feeling, because I agree the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: way that Kamala came in and just like bully, like
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: she bullied it like for like so fast. Right the
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: first two weeks day, first two days, I think people
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: expected to see that instant like gratification right now, it
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: is the journey problem. Yeah right, they scream back here
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: like a lot.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: This is exactly how the process is.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: Right, I know what I would like Cowlorado was called
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: for Kamala expected better, just noting I.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: Think I did ill called.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: I know it's got called on my screen right now,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: down and Trump is up fifty.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 6: One to I really would like to know where was
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 6: by Trump this time in twenty twenty, That's what I would.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Look it up.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 8: Well, we didn't know a lot at this time in
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty. We took it the whole week, practically Saturday,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 8: for us to get to the point where we thought
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 8: we know the president.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: I remember we did coverage that night and we went
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: bed believing the Democrat was going to lose.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we were was we woke up the next morning
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 8: in our days, absolutely the whole set.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: We thought we went to bed and that we had lost.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: So it looked like this guy, Yes, it.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 10: Looked like I don't have the whole country, but I
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 10: do know at this point in twenty twenty, uh, Donald
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 10: Trump was doing better right now in Georgia. Right, so
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 10: he's underperforming his twenty twenty numbers in Georgia at this
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 10: point compared to twenty twenty.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: We just see some music in some week, so you'll, County,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: isn't it right yet? County? You said no, no, yeah,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: still we can even go to the ones that be
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: ordering the huka we got were all right?
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 7: I do got to ask a question too. You know,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: when you look at some of these elections in these
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: other countries, right, it's not as long, it's a lot
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: less than than what we do here. And I feel like,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: do you think there should be a cap on the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 7: amount of money raised when it comes to I mean,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 7: because I mean they're raising over a billion dollars each,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: they have to any money on all types of fripulous stuff.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: Do you think that we should have a cap on
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: the bount of head raise an amount of time?
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: And why yes, well, a lot of countries do that,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: France for example, that yes, Canada and where you have
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: a limited time of even campaigning. To your point, the
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: money in politics, which you know Quinton obviously runs the
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: collective pack which is a part of raising money. But
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: the donor classes we've talked about on this show frequently
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: is largely white and male, and you can really influence
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: how campaigns and Canadas feel and how they move and
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: things that they say. I think if there's a limit,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: or even if they're publicly funded, you would get down
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: to the meat of policy and what actually matters, not
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: all of this kabuki theater, not all of this glitter.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: A lot of money goes on media.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: Buys, uh, which you know you yes, you you stay frivolous,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: But I don't know how frivolous that is because that
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: is how a lot of Americans consume information.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: That's how they get news.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it's not a lot of readers, but we have
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of watchers. I also think if you are
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: looking at the public funding of some of these campaigns, uh,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: the process looks different. Right. Like we've talked about this
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: on Native Lampard about having audiences in debates, but you
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: get so much applause that you're you know, missing what
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: the candidates are putting forth to the audience in a
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: very serious way. So yes, definitely, I'm for limiting the
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: amount of time for campaigns and also limiting the money
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: that goes there.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Also exhaust voters. I think it exhausts voters. Yeah, two
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: years of this out in and out exhausts us.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 8: And if we had a season that we can look
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 8: forward to where we know it's gonna start and there's
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 8: an end to.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: That, I agree.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 5: I think I'm exhausted right now.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 9: Well, don't be too exhausted yet. You got a couple
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 9: more hours of coverage, good sir. I want to come
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 9: back to you really quick, Quentin. One with some bad
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 9: news and one with some good news. The bad news
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 9: is that even though we hoped for a miracle and
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 9: a hail Mary in Texas, with seventy seven percent of
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 9: the precincts reporting, Colin Alred is not lost to Ted Cruz,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 9: the incumbent, who is really just not worth the damn
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 9: ladies and gentlemen. However, in Maryland, Angela also Brooks has
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 9: become the second black women senator to join Lisa.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Rochester and you gotta feel good about that. Good, Well,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: let let Quinn happen. Sorry, I know.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 10: I mean, look, it's it's historic to put again two
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 10: black women in the US Senate in one election. We
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 10: we we know, uh, the opportunity that her being there
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 10: is going to provide to so many families throughout Maryland,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 10: but also the so many black candidates around the country
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 10: seeing as a possibility that I can run state wide
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 10: and be victorious. It's incredible. And so again they're calling
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 10: on leading in Arizona. We're leading in Arizona. Again, let's
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 10: be patient tonight, but again let's applaud Angela also Brooks
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 10: in the amazing campaign that she ran, being incredibly outspent.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 10: To your point, you know, when it comes to black candidates,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 10: we have a tough time raising money.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: But that's why you said collective pack and that's why
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: I want you to talk about because tip to your
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: point and envy to your point.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: Is there too much money in politics?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, but while it stays, they come up with a
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: really tremendous solution and you guys funded people from the
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: top of the ticket all the way down ballot.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: Talking about that work. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 10: So we launch the Collective Pack in twenty sixteens to
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 10: really build black photical power by raising money. We know
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 10: money in politics is so important, and so if you're
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 10: not funding our candidates and we can't expect them to
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 10: go out there and compete dollar for dollar against every
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 10: by body else. And so we had over one hundred
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 10: candidates on the ballot today. Hopefully most of them will
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 10: be victorious. But again, this money and politics thing is
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 10: a real issue. And as a people, we got to
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 10: organize our money in our politics so that our folks
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 10: don't get bought and sold by other communities.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: That's a really big issue for us moving forward.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: That's right, Well, we are so grateful that you joined
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: us tonight.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Howard. Welcome to Howard.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, you're having it. You appreciate it. You know
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 9: you might have a little bit of beat down there
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 9: with envy.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: You know, just all love today.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 13: I love it.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: Thanks cute, let's see you.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 9: And and Andrew is down here being our black John King,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 9: so let him have his money and piano.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: Will stay two.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Night tired after the tire the first night.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: Trump did call it in twenty twenty, so clearly something
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: must have been happening like this to where he felt
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 6: confident and they thought they were gonna win.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can get rid of the electoral college.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 5: But I was telling me that, Andrew, I need you
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 5: to keep telling me.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it's true.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing, you guys.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 9: I do think it's important to note because normally we
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: do talk about the distinction between what's happening with the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 9: electoral college versus the popular vote. Right now, because of
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 9: the number of Southern states that have been called, Donald
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 9: Trump is ahead. He's forty two million plus votes to
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris's thirty seven point plus million votes, So there
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 9: is a there is a disparity there as well.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: I do think that gap will significantly closes.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 9: Those West coast states coming start coming in and more
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 9: of the Midwest start coming in.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: They said Pennsylvania's look at for Pensylvania close.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 8: There's only about fifty one percent of the vote in Pennsylvania.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: Reports she gets too closed.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: Cleaning right now because slightly Trump Okay, because I saw that,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to say it. Yeah it's that, and
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to be the one
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: to say it.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: It's slightly Trump, but it should be at this stage
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: of the game.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 8: It's the larger, more populous cities that get added into
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 8: the vote collete, not.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: Completely taking a little longer because and then.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 8: From that they'll open up early ballots which they were
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 8: not able to begin counting until tonight when the post closed,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 8: and other states my state, they open them and they
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 8: start to roll them in. So those early number that's
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 8: how you can have a whole state like Florida, the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 8: third largest in the country, produce its winners and losers
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 8: in the first hour hour and a half after the
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 8: post close.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 7: So for Pennsylvania, anybody that voted early and not open.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 8: Those until post closed, so as those get calculated and
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 8: added in, you see shifts in the outcome that state.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 6: Its West Wing report says presidential race as far shows
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 6: no surprises on the man, So Harris, Pennsylvania looks better
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 6: razor than Leeds in Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia is concerning for her.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: Virginia not a swing state, shaking and expected. Iowa more competitive,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 6: competitive than expected. You'll recall the CEL support.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: Being no surprises.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: Were we looking out for Iowa? Yeah, Iowa's closer than
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: seeing So sometimes saying on Twitter, and you guys can
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: confirm this over there is Trump in Iowa.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: He will win Iowa. I didn't expect them.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 8: They yeah, And I also but the fact that she
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 8: is competitive in Iowa at this stage, she should not
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 8: be competitive in a state like Iowa. Iowa has been
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: solidly Republican for the last three presidential races. Took a
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 8: dip into our land with Obama and then came right
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: back out and it's been reliably It.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: Is not critical to her.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 8: It's not even counted by her team as being necessary
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 8: for the electoral College.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Iowa.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 8: It's called for Republicans, Yes, for Trump, and it will
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 8: be unexpected.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I was hoping that.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so it's organ and she should win organ.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: But we were just hopeful because you know, they had
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: some reports earlier. They said the I can't think of
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: the of the the poster's name. They said, yeah, they said,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: she always gets it right. She called it for She said, well,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: she actually didn't call it for Kamala. She said that
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: it was very very close, and it was leaning towards her,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: but within the margin of air.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: So, uh, yes, we are now and what is the
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: hell is happening?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 5: Well, they people, they just went dead.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: Reports, they're watching seeing it said, they're counting votes, they're
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: watching the watching the screen.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 7: People.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: I do want to set the scene for them, so
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: they're it's still a sea of people who are very joyful.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: So we hear waves of applause and cheers as they.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Have CNN projected on the screen, and so as Don
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: King is projecting states or showing where Vice President Harris
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: might be leading, that's when you hear cheers. So as
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: we get that breaking news, we will be sure to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: share it with you guys at home. But it is
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: still a very joyful time here.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: Point out the.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 5: Joy because.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 8: I'm look, this is a troll, hey, Charlomagne, and these
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 8: these folks are as novice to the process as any
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 8: of us.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Many of you got these returns.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: They feel a certain way about what they wanted to
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: look like, and it doesn't reflect what they feel like
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 8: it should look like. But I have if we were
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 8: broadcasting to them, I'd say the same thing, which were
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 8: hold your horses, calm down, wait and be patient, because
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 8: when these votes are counted, you'll see a better reflection
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 8: of what you thought the earlier part of the night
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 8: should have looked.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: Like, can we take a snapshot of this though, because
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: there is I know, you guys, hopefully they're doing audience
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: shots there. But there was a sea of black people
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: waving the American flag on this historically black university and
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: just the dichotomy of that, right that what that flag
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: represents and has represented for us on this campus of
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: black people when America does still stand poise to elect
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: the first black woman to leave the country.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: I just think this is a moment in history. And
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: y'all are down there on the way we are.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 7: We went to the crowd and this tears. So there's
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 7: press over here, it's alumni, this students. Me and Lauren
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 7: actually stuck into the alumni and student section was dead.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: I had called a they kicked us out at first,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 7: so just to let you know, they kicked us out
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 7: at first. We had to go back. But then there's
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 7: alumni on the side, and then there's just DMV residents
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 7: and they're super super excited. But like you said, right now,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 7: they're watching CNN. They're waiting for these these numbers to
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 7: be announced.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 5: You just got some more.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 7: See that you didn't announce that one?
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you doing?
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: She got two twelve one twelve.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember there's a lot of SAT you don't
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: have to come in, so that number will flip draft.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: Uh, I'm not even tripping. None of the battlegrounds are
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: really in. You know, he still got North Carolina, Pennsylvania.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: Want to see what talk about some in North Carolina?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: It might make y'all happy.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: They had a guber natorial candidate was a brother uh
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: named Mark Robinson.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: He lost.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: He didn't He did, in fact lose no surprise no
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: so far our viewers.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: You may recall Mark Robinson was the lieutenant governor running
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: for the governor and he was, uh look at for
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: something literally literally that's when transgenders on his left.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 13: I was, what was that?
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: Is that what he is? He said that he found
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: it's like Africa porn or.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 5: Something Africa porn.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: But I'm talking about.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: You guys. Look, Angela, I'm looking it out.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Africa porn.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, I need one more wordy other than Africa porn.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 6: How does that fair for her in North Carolina? Since
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 6: the governor won the democratic government, it should help her.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 6: But it gives you an indication of how voters are voting.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 6: So if they declared his loss but again he has
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: become an embarrassment to the Republican Party. So this is
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 6: where you might see some of those split ballots.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: But that is you wouldn't be embarrassed if he was white.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: I think that was some of the things that he
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: was saying and doing were I think universally.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I'll say this, Charlotte, because you you brought
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: up something I think this speaks to it, and you
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: talked about how do we come together after the country,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: no matter who wins. And I have to say, and this,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: you know, may be controversial to some people, but I
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: actually have no interest in coming together.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: I say, I really don't. I don't. I have no wait,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: I don't. I have no interest in meeting a bigot
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: in the middle. I'm not trying to understand.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: I know very well their perspective and if our disagreement,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: as the saying goes, is rooted in you denying my humanity,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to convince you of such things. I say, yes,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: stay over there, and I respect the honesty. I would
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: rather you look me in my face and tell me
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: how you feel than to smile on my face and
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: feel feel the way that I know you feel. So
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: I think that is something that we have to have
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: a serious conversation in this country about, because we're not
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: at a place where everybody's like, Okay, guys, you guys
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: won this time.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: We're all gonna go back to our corners. Even Stevens, No, I.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: Think we are that the Civil War did not begin
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: with the first firing, you know, of a pistol. It
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: began long before that. There was this court, and I
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: think we're seeing something like that happened in this country.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: And then when you broaden that out and be and
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: this is key, when the United States is at war
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: with itself on the global stage, we look incredibly weak.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: And so we've already seen threats to our country this cycle.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: And so i'd imagine Russia might have company to go
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: around in Iran, in China, all empires fall. America has
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: been a superpower for the long time because of us,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: because of our bodies, we created this superpower. We are
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: primed right now to be taken out. So this election
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: not only has consequence for policy here domestically, it has
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: consequences for our global standing. And that's a very serious thing.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: I agree with you.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: If I was a political strategist and called me naive.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't want to just chalk up what we're seeing
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: what the Trump thing, to just bigotry, to just racism,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: to just sexism. I really would want I really want
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 6: to see what he's doing that is moving people and
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: has been moving people for the past that think that's
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: g I think it's I think it's got to be
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: a little bit more more than that are It might
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: be what what are Democrats not doing? You know, That's
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: what I would want to know. I can't just say, hey,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 6: everybody's racist, everybody's a bigger I.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: Think that that is very true.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 9: I think we've heard from our own friends, but for
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 9: super honest even in our own conversations right about where
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 9: there's shortcomings or where we don't feel represented inside of
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 9: a big ten. You know, it's like even when you
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 9: talk about the way that consultants are used, or you
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 9: talk about the way that candidates have to fight to
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 9: be seen. Even in Andrew's experience, Andrew wasn't just They
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 9: didn't decide that Andrew was the darling of the Democratic Party,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 9: fought hard af to be at the top of the ticket,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 9: to be the the to get out of the primary
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 9: and to be the Democratic Party's nominee for governor of Florida.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: That wasn't easy. You fought to the last name, and
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: the media had really called him, they called it.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: Way Graham.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 8: But so about Let's recognize that half the country isn't voting.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 8: Half the people of the country who are qualified to
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 8: vote don't vote.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: They just don't exercise it.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 8: So your point around, I want to be with you
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 8: because I wanted badly to be there in twenty sixteen
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 8: when I thought my neighbors and everybody who I trusted
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 8: that was white betrayed me and don't give it damn
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 8: about who I am, and so on and so forth.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 8: But the lived experience is much more nuanced than that.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 8: All we walk this earth very differently between you know,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 8: between people. So I can't say and result that an
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 8: election is decided just that way. I think Trump reaches
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 8: at something well that's not even that clever. If you
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 8: are a person and you don't have a perfect life
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 8: and therefore you have grievances, Trump has taught you how
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 8: to complain and like make no apologies about it if
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 8: he complains, and then points you to the people who
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 8: are responsible for your pain. And they're the people who
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: are brown, and they're black, and they're women, and they're
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 8: everybody that's not like you.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 5: And so.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 8: If we were able to run a race trying to
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 8: build community off of people who got complaints about how
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 8: fucked up shit is, we went to I mean, we
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 8: you know, we'd lead, we'd connect with people by making
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 8: that the case that groceries are too high. This is happening,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 8: this is happening, jobs are being shipped here, and that
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 8: group is responsible for why you're not living your best life.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: That's not rocket science politics. It's the politics of grievance.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: They win campaigns, and sometimes that kind of politicians lose.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: His well to that point, Andrew, I agree with you,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: but black people do have grievances. I agree you do
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: have a community that we point to, which is usually
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: white supremacy. But we don't have elected officials that are
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 6: willing to do that. We don't have elected officials that
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 6: are willing to challenge that system of white supremacy.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: Largely, I don't think they don't speak directly to a
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff. When I'm not like, I remember it
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: that the interview that you said in the.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Problem, Yeah, from Florida Byron Donalds.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 5: That was it you had to push.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: But that's a Republican conservative. If you're talk about Byron donald.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, I'm talking about Wes Moore,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: and I love him to death, but I just felt
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: like in all of his speaking it was very much
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: like high level hope love and it wasn't.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: There were certain things that like he wouldn't even directly.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: Say, and I'm like, why I thee Yeah, And there
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: is the Republicans do they they but they they running
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: different areas and they don't They're not up against the
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: same things we have to when we're When we're black
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: in a progressive party or in a Democratic party, we
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: have a double big ten to win over. We have
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: to prove to white folks that we're worthy of election,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: and we have to prove the black folks that were
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: down for the cause, and we have to prove to
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: everybody else that we still see their grievances. White folks
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: can come on and say, trust me, little brown person,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: little black person, I got you and I could probably
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: solve your problems better than you. And if you don't
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: trust me on this, that's fine, because there's a whole
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: bunch of white folks that'll.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: Elect me to super se whatever minority you are of
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: the vote.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 9: What I would say is that what I took issue
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 9: with is there are mayors in mostly black cities. There
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 9: are members of the Congressional Black Caucus, some that are
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 9: in majority minority districts, which means that it's mostly black
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 9: or mostly black and brown or whatever. But there are
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 9: also a lot of them who are in white, white
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 9: folks districts too, who see issues similar to us, who
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: might have that Black Lives Matter signing in their yard,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 9: and those folks, and those folks will absolutely stand with
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 9: us and say the hard thing. Barbara Lee, who is
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 9: retiring now and will be replaced tonight by Latifa Simmons
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 9: in Oakland, California, is.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: One of those folks. She was the only person that
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: was willing to stand up against the Iraq war right.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: So we have those members, but they are few and
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: far between, especially if they have just leadership ambition.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: Your point is, your point is well taken, Like I
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: think it's.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: Like like I mean, even the town's the town hall.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: And you know when I thought it was great when
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: Charlotte was asking Kamala about like why can't you just
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: say what you will do?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: Why can't you just you know?
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: And she she's she worked her way around and she
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: answered it, but she still had to work with There
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: is the.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 8: Way in which we still have to be in the
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 8: politics where we're not the majority who election?
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: What do you think would happen?
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 14: Though?
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 3: If there was a politician, I was just like, you
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: know what I mean on our side that looks like us.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you they are politicians. Ticket like, that's.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 7: About Barack Obama. That's why the black people said that.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 7: Barn't you know it?
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: But what you guys are talking about it's at the
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: presidential level. And politics is about addition, not subtraction. So
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: you do have to say things to appeal to a
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: broad or not or not.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: But we're not.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: But I would challenge you to say, there are tons
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: of politicians who do call a thing a thing and
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: speak very.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: Truthfully about it.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: Congressom and Ayana Presley is one of those people. Congress
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: from Barbara Lee is one of those people.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: There are mayors.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 8: The problem is is that if we could name check them,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 8: then they're not enough. I agree, but we're talking about
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 8: the majority experience with politics is you're listening to this
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 8: politician and nothing they're saying is believable.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your lived.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 8: Experience because I had these problems before you got there.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 8: You told me you'd solve them. I'm up to elect
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 8: you again and the same problems are still persistent.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 8: Now, one I try to be honest with people. Any
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: time I've ever run is shared that this doesn't change overnight.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 8: This system didn't get here overnight. If we're four hundred
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 8: years here and through a civil war that divided the country,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 8: it came out of the civil war, had what less
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 8: than ten years of independence, our ability to run right,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: and then the reconstruction laws got taken away from us,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 8: and then we get another hundred years and when we
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 8: found ourselves in civil rights and we barely get out
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 8: of that. That system does not change overnight. It was
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 8: not invented overnight, and it requires a level of patience, sophistication,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 8: but also stick to itiveness that we're not gonna give
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 8: up on that fight. And so it isn't dependent from
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: one election to another. Movements require us to stay in them.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: In order for them to move.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: I think he's one of the things, like she said,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 7: it's like when you look at a Barack Obama right
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 7: and you say, wow, we finally got somebody that looks
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 7: like me. He's gonna do something for my community. He's
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 7: gonna stand up when the police officers killed the brother
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: for no reason. He's gonna stand up when he sees this.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 7: He's gonna stand up when season justice.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't, or when he did, or we ended
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: up with Skip Gates. What did they have him do
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: a beer summit?
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 8: He called out racism for a white black professor getting
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 8: in his own house getting arrested could be my son.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 8: And then what he ended up then with with after that,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 8: he's got to sit down with white folks as the
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 8: president of the United States and then retract it practically
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 8: and make it appear as if.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: No, your white son would have experienced the same thing.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 5: Not true.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 8: So when he stepped out, Democrats, Republicans everybody in between
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 8: clipped his knuckles and were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, You're
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 8: not that man in this house.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: He got to be something different.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: But I think, I think to Laura's point, because I
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: understand what she was saying about Governor uh Westmore the Democratic.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: Verse, and I love him, by the way, I thought
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: he was fired the president. That's the point.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: But I was like, why, right, I completely understand what
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: you're saying. I think Wes Moore is Governor Moore is
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: a wonderful person, wonderful human being. I also think he's
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: very politically ambitious, and so he is setting his sights
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: on I need to continue to build and attract people
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: to my campaign. Sadly, in politics, it's too common a
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: thing where you can profess loudly on what you'll do
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: for everybody else and you whisper that shit to black folks.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: You professed loudly what you'll do for everybody else's issue,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: but you go behind the curtain and say, okay, but
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: black folks, I got y'all. Once we get in office, right,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: I think that you do have to challenge those and
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: confront those systems. I don't think we're there yet.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: We are fourteen but we are because she did it
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: right well.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: Vice President Harris said, but we're fourteen percent of the population,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: and so when you're talk about that level, you do
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: have to make an appeal. Now, if Vice President Harris
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: comes out and says, I for I'm the president for reparations,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: I believe you know, I'm going to eradicate the criminal
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: justice system. I am going to uh write the wrongs
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: of housing. You know, black folks have been and this
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: is her chief message that she's banging. She would not
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: have the coalition that she did, she would have the
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: chany So but question, well, the question I would put
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: to you then, is is it important for her to
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: get in office and then hold her accountable to our
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: agenda or do we want her to go out there
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: ra rah rah and and normalize speaking about our issues
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: at the.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: Risk that she may not win in a liss.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 8: I want her to run the race on the campaign
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 8: and on the issues that she's running. And the fact
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 8: that she's the first candidate for president of the United
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 8: States to have a black male agenda ever, is progress.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 8: Obama didn't have a black man's agenda or a black
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 8: women's agenda. That doesn't mean he didn't do things that
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 8: benefit our community, but he did not feel at the
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 8: time that he could run realistically for president of the
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 8: United States with a black agenda and said as much
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 8: when asked about what your black agenda, said, my agenda
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 8: is for the American people and we all benefit from that.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 8: And that had to be good enough for us at
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 8: the time. Kamala didn't didn't do that. She actually took
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 8: an added risk by saying black men calling us.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: Out and not just that, not superficially.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 8: She then put the policy behind it and it didn't
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 8: begin an end with jail and drugs.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: I just want to put it out really quick, really
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: really quick.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 9: Nebraska is in and I want to I want to
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 9: say this because I think this is significant. In twenty twenty,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump won four of the five. This is one
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 9: of the states that's split. Four of the five electoral
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 9: votes in Nebraska.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: Tonight, Donald Trump won three of the five, so two
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: of those are going to Kamala Harris.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 8: Whats are a requirement for her in order to win
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 8: the Blue Inder to win the presidency, because if she
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 8: won all the Blue Wall and did not capture those
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 8: two congressional seats oude of Nebraska, she still could not
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 8: have been president. She would be one vote elect vote
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 8: electoral college. Okay, so Nebraska had she needed.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 7: Some looking goods.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: She needed those two. But I'm saying in twenty twenty,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden got only got one. Someone and I'm on
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: the live chat for the Breakfast Club's YouTube channel. There's
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: over ten thousand people in here, and someone is asking
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: for Yeah, thank you guys for tuning. And someone is
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: asking if you guys can talk more about North Carolina
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: because it's really close.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, we expected it to be close.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: One of the things that I think is really important
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: for us to note is that Shakiah Harris is.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 9: What, Oh God, anyway, Shakia, we love you.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: Ignore Leonard, you could say something smart mouth dam didn't like.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: But I think the one thing that's important here is
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: in North Carolina, this has been a state that we
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: have not won. It's Barack Obama in two thousand and eight,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: and so Kamala Harris winning this tonight, if she does,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: it will be another history making years demonstrates demonstrates that
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: black folks, when they're at the top of the ticket,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: can capture states that some other folks can't.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 5: Well, I will tell you earn the music.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: Folks walking at home, they just dropped it.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: Beyond thank you for that questionround.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 8: She didn't need, she didn't need North Carolina to win
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 8: the race for president and the electoral college. North Carolina
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 8: would be icing on the cake for us if we
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 8: were able to get it, and it is absolutely expected
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 8: to be close if it comes over at all.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 9: I knocked on doors in North Carolina on Sunday, so
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 9: I'm expecting a victory, and I spoke at church.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 5: You know, another grievance. I think Trump speaks to I
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 5: think he speaks to the poor better than it's poor period.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 5: When people hear people, when you hear.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: Somebody talking about you know, uh, you can't pay your bills,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: and you can't keep food on your table, you can't
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 6: keep a roof over your head and needs it. But
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 6: then he'll mix in these are the people taking the
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: jobs from you. This is why you can't eat. I
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: think all of that works. I think that that's not true,
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 6: but I think it's I think it's more rooted than this.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 6: This is this is what I think is causing more
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 6: more of a racially diverse coalition to come into the
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: Republican Party because they're speaking to this a lot more.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: They are it's a mirage, but they are speaking to it.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 15: They have the beauty of being able to say things
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 15: like so, first of all, at what point of Donald
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 15: Trump's like, does you represent better my lived expirit?
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 8: I mean, the man got a million doll alone from
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 8: his dad and started business. I ain't never seen a million.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 8: I did grow up with it. I mean, you were
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 8: rich in our community if you took your family to
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 8: McDonald's on the weekend for a meal. It was so
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 8: the fact that he can embody that better than almost
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 8: any politician is insane to me. But I get it
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 8: because you're right, Charlomagney speaks to it and then he
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 8: tells you who's to blame for it.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: None of us are ever going to.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 8: Do that one because it actually isn't the truth for
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 8: many of us in our places.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 7: Oh, he's a marketing genius too. Like he had the
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 7: radio this morning. He was like, yeah, you know, I
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 7: was richer, I had more money with Donald Trump. But
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 7: it's just what Donald Trump has been saying for so
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 7: long people, not just Trump Republicans.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: I guess it's mind boggling to me that, you know,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 6: since World War Two, the economy has always done significantly
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: better with a Democrat president, but they haven't.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 8: Been able to make If they don't, we don't say it, right, yeah,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 8: and we don't celebrate it either, But you're absolutely right.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: We're the ones who improve the economy.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 8: They're the ones who take money from you give it
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 8: to the top one percent, but then run on campaigns
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 8: about you not being able.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: To keep a rooping with your head.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: Why do democratics that's so scary around money and Republicans
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: like were scared to I feel like I feel like, well,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: this is just my assumption. I feel like Republicans are
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: not afraid to tell you, like, look, this is how
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: I grew up, but this is what I got, this
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: is what I've done.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: That's why I can get you with us. I feel
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: like we always have to be the like humble, the
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: I'm still I feel you, I'm still here with you.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: And I think there's a lifestyle that people aspire to
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: and want. Everybody wants to you watch Trump to eat
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: in your house for a long time. Everybody wants to
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: lift this lifestyle, have this money, and they see him
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: and he leans into it.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: We just I don't know why, why do we have
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: to know that? I don't know that.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 9: I don't know that on this side of the like
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 9: on the Democratic side of how that people are that
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 9: rich either, Like I think the most important thing to
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 9: understand is like Donald Trump is a failed businessman who
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 9: has projected riches but not rich at all. And even
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 9: especially after these court cases and the financis had to
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 9: pay and have to borrow money to pay them. But
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris on the other side, talks about being raised
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 9: in a middle class household and she went straight from
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 9: law school into public service.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: But inspiration never does win.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm just saying that the reason why there's kind
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 9: of leaning in here is because that would be false.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: But he is false too. His lean into it about that.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 8: But I think that it's it's people like to vote
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 8: for something that looks like a success, and he exudes
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 8: success even though all of his businesses crumbled underneath his thumb.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: But he's marketing suggests otherwise marketing.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 8: I mean, he owns a company right now that ain't
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 8: nobody own his platform and it's and it is it
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 8: is somehow value that of the same value of media.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's the.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 6: Social Hey, I just want you all to know that
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 6: Trump is at two ten and the old people in
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 6: South Caroline is panic and I'm looking at a group chet.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you guys, Facebook, the group chats
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: the old people is not how many great?
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 6: Oh Jesus is definitely green. It looks like look like
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 6: we're in trouble. Trump is overperforming.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 9: Where is he overperforming? I don't know, as I think
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 9: that's the question we have to answer. If they can
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 9: point us to the states where he's overperforming, I think.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 5: Inconceivable. He said, this is inconceivable.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: Let me let me ask you, Guysia.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 9: This one thing that we've seen, and we saw it
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 9: happen in Florida as well, Andrew in twenty eighteen. There
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 9: are several ballot initiatives in states all over the country.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 9: One that's up in Arizona is Proposition of one thirty nine,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 9: which is the right to abortion. Right now, that ballot
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 9: initiative to ensure that there is a right to abortion
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 9: in the state is overperforming Vice President Harris right now,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 9: that is, yes, it's a sixty three point one percent
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 9: of the vote.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: Whereas she's performing and I lost. Oh, here it is.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 9: She currently has forty nine point five percent of the
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 9: vote to Donald Trump's forty nine point six.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: She's neck and neck. But that right to abortion is overperforming.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to see me.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: I'm interested. Yeah, I'm interested to see why that is.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 9: Because if federally they're able to ban abortion, that state
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 9: ballot initiative does not matter.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: It gets Trump, it gets prompted because of federalism. I
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: would argue that most people likely do not understand that.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: I know they don't.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: And I will say something controversial that I'm disagreeing with
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: with Charlemagne about you know, him speaking to the poor,
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: and this is what people care about.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say something that people don't like to hear.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: Most people in this country are are not intellectually curious
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: about a lot of things. And I think Trump's rise
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: to power has coincided with the dumbing down of the
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: American electorate and the confluence of things that led to that.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: If you ask, most people are where are you getting
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: your information from? Most people are not reading papers. Most
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: people are not even curious enough to read a website.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: But it's fear. It's also fear.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 7: It's the fact that he's saying immigrants have come and
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 7: taking you jobs.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: But you can look and see if that information is
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: true or not. Like I read probably eight papers every day.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: But there are things that when you read the article
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: and then you see what's on television, it is a
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: snapshot of something.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't see that they'll see the schools are clothes.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: Of course, but hotel.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 5: You don't have to be intelligent to know that you
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 5: can't eat, don't.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: I agree with that because they're real life.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: They don't haven't had the time to do this because
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out Okay, bet so my kids.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: But if you have the time, that's my problem. If
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: you can sit on Instagram for an hour, you have
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: the time to look at a camp.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 8: But do you have the time to even if they did.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 8: Right now, with the disinformation of information.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 7: You don't know what's true or what's not.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: You don't know, and you can find an opinion out
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: there that looks reflects your view.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: But I would be on Facebook, send all the wrong,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: all the wrong my cousins from Facebook. I'll be like,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: get off the Internet, I said to my mother. Chair respond.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 9: I do want to say too. There's one of they're
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 9: disparity I want to talk about.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 3: I just talked about abortion on the ballot in Arizona.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 9: One of the other things that we haven't talked a
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 9: lot about tonight are split tickets. So some people will
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 9: vote Democrat or Republican at the top of the ballot
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 9: and then do something different when they go down ballot.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 9: One place where we're seeing that again is in North Carolina.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 9: We talked earlier about the craziness that was Mark Robinson,
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 9: who's only captured forty percent of the vote to Josh
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 9: Stein's fifty five point one percent of the vote. But
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 9: when you look at Kamala Harris's percentage right now, it's
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 9: it's significantly lower. She's at forty seven point eight percent
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 9: to Donald Trump's fifty point eight percent, so it's slightly
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 9: under three percent. There's difference between them, but the other
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 9: the gubernatorial candidate Molly wopped Mark Robinson.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 3: Would've been nice to see consistence.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: But we talked about splint tickets earlier that there are
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: people who will vote for the top of the ticket
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: and then vote differently down valley, especially on some of
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: those ballid initiatives. But I still maintain that people do
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: that because they don't understand the process and how it works.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: And I'm not blaming that exclusively on people voters and
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: non voters. I think there's a lot of shared responsibility
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: in that. But we have to at some point start
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: holding voters accountable for having the intellectual curiosity to at
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: least go out and look and find information. And I
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: don't buy this that people don't have time, because it
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: might be if they have time to send articles on Facebook,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: you have time to go.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 3: To the source. You can literally go to the campaigns
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: and see where people.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 7: So let me ask you a question. With an hour
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 7: before we get to midnight Eastern time, what should we
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 7: be looking for? What should we be seeing?
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: Jesus, what's to be coming in now?
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that we'll see the major states.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know that we'll get results tonight from Pennsylvania.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 8: Well, again depends on how quickly how many people accounting
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 8: the Pennsylvania with Trump at two ten, what state could
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 8: come in right now? Or you'd be like all right, bro,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 8: so California could come in and he would be less
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 8: than where she is behind her. Oh so yeah, the
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 8: whole state is that, all of the state, all of
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 8: his votes will go one way or the other.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 6: And if we thought sixteen I remember when Hillary went
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 6: CALLI and they're like, oh.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: Shoot, no, no, no, you asked now when midnight what
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: might what?
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 10: What?
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: For him?
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: He would not have would happen.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 8: It's a big thing that can happen for any of them.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 8: It is going to be a state by state. I
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 8: mean there will be states that will put huge numbers
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 8: back in her column. That's when California comes through. But
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 8: if I were voted right now wondering about what I
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 8: should be paying attention to, right I would be tracking
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 8: the Michigan outcome. And again I think they were at
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 8: fifty to fifty two percent of the vote being counted
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 8: there Wisconsin, Uh, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wisconsin.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: Is there one percentage point a difference right now?
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 8: Fifty six has a lot more than encountered, So so
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 8: they will have to continue to watch those. And then
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 8: I would throw in there Nevada and Arizona.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a question about you keep mentioning Nevada.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: I was listening to CNN earlier today and they were
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: saying that if Kamala doesn't win Pennsylvania, she shouldn't. She
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to worry because she can grab Nevada and
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: the Arizona and one other state.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 9: Uh, how do you got? It just depends, so we
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 9: have to actually look at the map. We encourage all
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 9: the viewers at home to do the same. There is
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 9: electoral college maps and Lauren on here too. You can
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 9: mark I've been putting the numbers on the line I
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 9: don't have. I've been saying I need to get on
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 9: my phone. So you were saying Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada's battleground, uh, Arizona.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 9: You just said Pennsylvania, North Carolina.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: Georgia, Orgia.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 8: North Carolina and Georgia are not states that are must
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 8: win states for her.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: To win them depending on how the rest of the.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 8: Map, assuming the blue wall holes, which I don't have
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 8: a reason to think that it wouldn't, but if it,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 8: if it, if it held, she won't need either of
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 8: those two states to make the difference for her other.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: Than so they just said.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: I just want to shout out myself because they just
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: said seeing that Nebraska's fascinating.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: I said that. Everybody blew me off.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 5: We've got another text from a ol G.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 6: What is happening on the phone with over eighty so
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 6: over eighty o G. Her but's getting kicked still with
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 6: the hell married past God willing.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 3: There to the states.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 5: What the streets are saying, what the streets saying.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: Look, what I want you to do is look at
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 3: knowing compared to twenty twenty, I.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 8: Had lost and we went to bed about two am. Yeah,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 8: and I was fully prepared for a Trump presidency when
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 8: I woke up, and we woke up the next day.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 8: The numbers have flipped in the ensuing days. They're not
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 8: It's not that they flipped me all the count Yeah.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 9: I want to make sure that we're very careful about
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 9: our language because we're expecting political violence from people that
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 9: are suspecting that the election is rigged.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: When you look at the exit polls for Trump.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 9: Supporters and be there saying that they don't trust the
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 9: pro even though they're turning out in large numbers, they're
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 9: saying they don't trust that the voting process is one
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 9: built in integrity. Well, we're not saying that now votes
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 9: are gonna flip to her. What we're saying is there
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 9: are significant states that you need to count to get
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 9: to to seventy that aren't in yet.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 8: Right I'm talking about the existing states that right now
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 8: look as if they are Trump states, And as the
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 8: vote continues to be counted and the tally is totaled,
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 8: they end up in a different column. And they're not
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 8: ending up there because they're being stolen. They end up
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 8: there because the vote tallies dictate that that's exactly where
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 8: you are supposed to be. The only reason why I
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 8: keep saying I went to bed thinking one way is
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 8: because if you're in a mood right now and.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: You're wondering whether or not you know we're repeating history.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 8: We are repeating history, except it's twenty twenty history and
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 8: not twenty sixteen.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 5: That's twenty twenty.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks it's almost up the same. Look at it.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 9: So I'm showing Letard turn your computer this way. Tip
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 9: is probably looking at it on our phone. Turn turn
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 9: your computer. Well, actually, turn you over that way, George.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: I want you to come.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 5: This is twenty I see what you're saying.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, so now can you shake your shoulders
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit down there? Watching? I thought I heard
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 3: a little juvenile okay.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, they're playing with you that. I
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: heard it. I heard it.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to focus up here.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 7: I heard.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: How are you feeling?
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: The old people?
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: Honestly, right now, I feel like I'm learning in real
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: time because I feel like I've never paid this much
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: attention for this long. On election night, I think I
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: go vote. We listened a little bit, Go to sleep,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: wake up, it's whatever. So I think in real time
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: I'm learning just how these things can slowly progress.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, I'm.
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: I honestly for the last I would say maybe like
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: two weeks. I don't really feel anything. I'm just kind
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: of waiting for whatever's going to happen so I can
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: figure out what.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: I have to do. You can brace.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: I'm at the point in my life where like, whatever happens,
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: I got to deal with it. I know what I
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: want to have home.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: I'm very hopeful.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 7: I'm praying, and you know, with us jumping into politics
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 7: like we did in the last couple of years, just.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 5: So, I have so many questions why right the last
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 5: couple we've been doing it for about a.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 7: More seriously last I would say six seven years, But
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 7: you know, I want to I have questions like why,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 7: like why we still played with his electorial votes like
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 7: I said earlier, why is it not just not the
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 7: popular vote?
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 3: Like I get electoral college.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: I want to see Lauren and Envy run a campaign
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the electoral college.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 7: I'm good.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 3: I just think it's I think it was what would
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 3: be better.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: There actually are people doing that work that they joined
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: and the Eric cold former Attorney General airic Holder, who
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: was the Attorney General under President Obama. He was posing
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: question a lot and you know, they said what would
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: it take to get rid of the electoral College? And
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: he they said, well, you know that's a heavy lift.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: And he said, well, then we have to lift heavy.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: So his organization is actually fighting to do that. You
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: can fund that organization, You can host something for him,
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: you can be a part of it. As long as
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: long as you're asking the questions, why, be sure to
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: have an answer, contribute to the answer, be a part
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: of the solution. How effective is it is it like,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: because I feel like with the Green Party situation, like
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: it's not effected, but it's there.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: Is what he is his campaign.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 8: I will tell you honestly, I think it's going to
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 8: be near impossible to get white people to say we
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 8: will give up our power, and that's what that's what
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 8: will be required. Theyn't have to say we're willing to
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 8: give up our power. So in republic, so in the
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 8: state of Florida, we would benefit greatly by a populist
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 8: vote being able to make a decision, Except that I
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 8: also know that if I did that, the majority of
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 8: populated places are democratic and they will choose Democrats every
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 8: time in a popular vote. So if your power is
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 8: derived from people making policies that benefit largely white Republican voters,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 8: why would I change. I'm not giving it away. So
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 8: I think it is going to and because you got
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 8: to get two thursds of states to agree to a
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 8: change in the constitution, we better start spreading out.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 3: And you know, h it's our advantage going nowhere. I
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 3: want to I just really quick.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 9: I wanted to just highlight some of these valid initiatives again.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 9: Colorado Amendments seventy nine, the right to abortion and health
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 9: insurance coverage.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: Passed and Florida went down.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 3: Florida, it did not pass.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: Maryland marijuana, oh wow, went down.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 9: Maryland passed the right to abortion amendment, and there's a
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 9: few others that are still out. New York also passed
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 9: the right to abortion amendments. So when you guys talk
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 9: about why envy, we have to figure out a way
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 9: to engage people beyond just candidates.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 3: We have to so many of these valid initiatives.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 9: There were more than one hundred and forty I believe
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 9: in forty plus states, and fifty seven of those were
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 9: led by citizens. They weren't led by elected officials, They
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 9: didn't come down from state legislatures. We gotta figure out
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 9: a way to get people involved. What we do know
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 9: is the way that we've done it has historically just
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 9: barely worked. But I think there are a whole lot
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 9: more people out here in this country that think like us,
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 9: who are just disenfranchised, who feel like they've never been
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 9: heard and ever seen by the political process. So I'm
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 9: so grateful to be doing this show with y'all tonight
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 9: as Leonard zones out, because I think I think that
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 9: we need to be with y'all to figure out what
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 9: how can we make this conversation more pedestrian, more accessible,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 9: and more tangible so people feel like there is a
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 9: pathway to.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 3: Victory for them with building political power.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 7: You think celebrity works, because we were talking about this
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 7: on the Breakfast Club. Do you think all these you know,
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 7: needing all these celebrities to speak and celebrities to perform?
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 7: In celebrities he doesn't mean anything though.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 6: For whatever reason, it doesn't seem like celebrity works for Democrats,
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 6: But for some strange reason, the celebrity billion it works
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 6: for Republicans.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think it works for either. But I tell
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: you what they do do because I ran.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 8: A campaign that's solicited celebrities to come in and help
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 8: as well.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: What they do is they bring attention.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 8: They bring the news to stories that don't you know,
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 8: if you're not getting pressed, they can help get you some.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: You'll take advantage of that.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 8: But it has been surveyed, it's been polled, it's been
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 8: proven that the most influential voice to change your perspective
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 8: one way, as it relates to who you might support
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 8: or not support, is a person that.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: You know personally.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 8: So we have the most influence over the family we have.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 8: We have the most influence over our true friends, the
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 8: folks who look to you. They trust you, and they
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 8: believe you. But celebrities bring attention, and I think that's
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 8: a value to a campaign. But when you think about endorsements,
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 8: it's the endorsements of the person you know, you trust,
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 8: you have a relationship with that's gonna move you to
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 8: vote a certain way or to vote at all. It's
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 8: gonna be our family people be knowing that.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think celebrity works on the right either. I
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: don't think there are people who are voting for Donald
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 2: Trump because Haulk Hogan shows up or Kid Rock shows up,
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 2: who's not even deliberate votes for Trump?
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: I head support.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: I do. So you think there were people who were
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump. Oh but wait,
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 2: Elon must support? What about the way to manipulate that
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: all that is different? That's not celebrity.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 6: I haven't watched it, but a lot of people have
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 6: been raving about the interview he just did with Joe Rogan.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's all over everything.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 6: I haven't watched it, but they're saying what they was like, yo,
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 6: he stealed the deal. He sold me on I'm not
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 6: even yes, I've heard that our business.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: You're saying what now, must did an interview like two days.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 5: Or three days ago.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 6: Everybody was saying how he They was like, yo, he
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 6: stealed the deal for I don't even know what he said.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: I would go back to my earlier point about the
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: dumbing down of the American electorate when Joe Rogan is
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 2: your goal to person who can convince you to vote
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: one way or another, Musk.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 9: Elon Musk didn't just do that interview though, He's literally
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 9: changed the algorithm on Twitter, so that we're seeing a
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 9: lot of conservative and and miss I feel like it
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 9: should be, especially when he went on stage and was like,
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 9: I got a million dollars viny to show me that
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 9: you registered to vote somewhere.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 3: Whether say it was just projected for vice president here, I.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: Don't know, but I know he got to look crazy.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody people down here.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 6: I think that we complicate a lot of these things,
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 6: and it's it's just kind of simple, That's what I'm saying.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 6: It's literally about people want to feel like they got
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 6: more money in their pocket and they want to feel safe,
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 6: and that is Those are two very simple things that
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 6: for some reason Democrats aren't able to.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 9: So why do they believe the Republican who has a
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 9: track record in the history of saying this is not
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 9: a thing, are saying this is gonna happen, but it
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 9: actually is not a thing. Versus democratic administrations that have
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 9: proven over and over again through tax credits, through trying
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 9: to democratize what's happening with She's.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 3: Coming to grab me, about to go down there with
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 3: the people and be down there.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: We can back and forth a little bit, Okay, in
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: my heel was about to track it down there to
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: be outside with the before you guys, what you say,
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: don't you sitting here looking like a can blow your
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: hands gonna be blowing white toes.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 3: Don't see it. Keep the light skins out of it. Lauren,
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 3: we was all together.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 5: Tell them we got got her retail comb to get
• 1:57:31

  Speaker 9: When you do, he just man that he needs when
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 9: I get to the Hey, we can't wait to hear
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 9: from you, Laura, We're gonna see you down there.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, what California is in?
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 9: Which what Andrew was saying earlier that the lead will
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 9: decrease once California comes in.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 3: She's not ahead, but.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 9: The lead is significantly discre decreased with California coming in.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 9: So tell all them South Carolinians, see what can I'll
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 9: lower that.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 5: What I do mat what I said? I see them
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 5: the map and I said this was the map in
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 2: What else it not that she came back. She came
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: in updating us on something we already doing. Lauren, need
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: headpoles that ain't delayed. Oh baby, I'd be.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Curious to know what percent of the vote is in
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, Michigan.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 9: So right now on the map that I have, it
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 9: says too close to call sixty eight percent in in
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 9: Pennsylvania and Michigan.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 3: U's too. Of course, it reloaded while I was talking.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 5: Pennsylvania.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 6: For me, I got sixty seven percent reporting and fifty
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 6: one percent for Trump.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 6: North Carolina eighty six percent reporting, fifty point nine percent
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 6: for Trump, Michigan twenty seven percent reporting, fifty one point
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 6: two percent for Trump. Georgia ninety percent reporting fifty one
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 6: point one percent for Trump.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 3: Jesus Wisconsin is sixty percent.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 5: Reporting, fifty point four percent for Trump.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: Now I got forty nine point nine and she's she's
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: at forty eight point four percent, which is just a
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: little under two percent, and the very very close races.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 9: What we need to remember. Tiffany said this earlier as well.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 9: Some of the last counties to be counted are the blackest,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 9: and most and the most urban counties because they are
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 9: significantly larger counties, so those are normally holdouts. They're also
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 9: the ones that experienced the most death threats, the most harassment,
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 9: and so and we've seen that across the board, both
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 9: in southern states like Georgia and of course in Pennsylvania,
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 9: as we reported earlier today.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: Well, regardless of the tactics, somebody win those states.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 2: But there was an incident at a polling site earlier
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: this week in South Carolina that Bakari Sellers shared with us.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 2: He posted it on Twitter, and it was all the
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 2: polling workers. All the poll workers were black women. I'm
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 2: sure you've seen this. And the white man with the
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 2: mega hat on, he was not supposed to be in
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: there with the hat on. They were trying to ask
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 2: him to take it off, and he wouldn't, and and
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 2: he got he physically confronted the black women.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 3: I watched that.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 2: It was about six or seven black women and this
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 2: this white man, and he got violent with them. And
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 2: I watched that and I knew instantly that he would
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 2: never have behaved that way had those been black men
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: in that room.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 3: They only act like that when they're good.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: I felt like all the black women should the one
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 2: woman had the cane. I'm like, y'all should have took
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: that cane and beat the crap out of that dude,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: because I gotta assume my life is in danger if
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: you're confront of me like that. But I bring that
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 2: up to say One, the threats of political violence are real.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: We have tangible evidence of that. But two, these are
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 2: the people Charlemagne that you're saying, what do we do
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 2: on the other side of this? I have no interest
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: in connecting with that man. I already know who he is.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 2: I already know who those pockets of people are, And
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 2: I wonder how emboldened these folks will continue to be
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 2: regardless of how this race turns out. That's really what's
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: the main thing on my mind, because we may not
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 2: know what happens tonight, but regardless of what happens, there
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: is an ugly underbelly in this country that has been
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: unearthed in.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 3: A way that puts us all in harm's way.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 5: I think Jim said it's gonna be Jim crow point.
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 5: You might Cliburns the Cloudburns said it was gonna be
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 5: Jim pro two point.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Do you guys have
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: any concerns about that? Look, we all live in cities
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 2: where we're gonna be mostly safe. They're you know, progressive cities, uh,
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 2: in black cities. But I'm curious if you guys are
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: worried about family members or whatever.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 6: Don't I don't even think you can be I don't
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 6: think you can be safe in a progressive city.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say that.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 5: Days over, I feel safe.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm here in the nation's capital.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 7: I do feel I don't feel safe sometimes the journey,
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 7: especially for my kids going around. You know, I gotta
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 7: worry about my kids driving down the road and a
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 7: big pickup truck where a Trump flag comes and sees him,
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 7: and what they might do, what he might think about
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 7: doing if my son cuts him off by accident, what
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 7: they might, you know, possibly be doing for my son,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 7: or same thing with my daughter. So I am very nervous,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 7: and I've seen how it shifted in the last I
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 7: would say ten years before that, I didn't get that.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 7: I didn't have that as much. But I seem like,
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 7: I feel like a lot of times when I see
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 7: that Trump flag, it's almost like a sign of racism
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 7: when I Yeah, So it does make me nervous. Regardless
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 7: of what state I live in or what state I visited,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 7: I feel like it's everywhere. And then when I visit
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 7: these states and I visit these cities, and I'm doing
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 7: shows in these cities and I see people I was
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 7: in a Sophora. The other day, I was getting something
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 7: from my wife and a guy walked in with a
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 7: red Make America Gray had again, and it's scared to
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 7: shit out of me. It's just because it was shocking.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 7: He was just going in there shopping. But that's what
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 7: that means to me when I look at it, and
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 7: it means that to a lot of people agree.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 9: It's so triggering, I think, especially I think it didn't
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 9: it was irritating in twenty sixteen, but after what happened
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 9: on January sixth, twenty twenty one, where you literally saw
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 9: the Trump flag, the Confederate flag, and the American flag
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 9: all together on January sixth, All of them are triggering
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 9: to me, but that one especially because it's like, I
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 9: understand everything that this man is connected to, but trump
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 9: Ism wins the day for me. It wins the day
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 9: for me over democracy. It wins the day for me
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 9: over whether or not we can be equal or not.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 9: In fact, I don't want to share my power with you.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 9: Is the message that I feels like they're sinning. So
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 9: I understand exactly what you're saying. I was telling my homegirls,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 9: we were two of us were getting ready to go
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 9: eat in New York and this man was wearing a
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 9: make America Great Again hat and he passed me once
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 9: that he passed me twice, and then he came back
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 9: a third time, and by that time, Alicia was there,
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 9: and I was so scared.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 3: I was like, does he know who we are?
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 3: Is he coming to attack?
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 9: I literally just got on the phone just because I
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 9: was waiting for our reservation at the restaurant. It is
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 9: so triggering and it's very scary. So in a place
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 9: like when it was, it's in New York, and it's
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 9: like in Tribeca.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: Right, It's not like you know in the Bronx or
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 2: it's the places where you know some of the other
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 2: folks can act a little different queens. It was literally
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 2: right there in Tribeca, and I was like, Okay, what's happening?
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 2: Do I get ready to I think we have to
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: like that. I think, yeah, I'm not condoning violence, but
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 2: if you are crazy enough to confront me, I have
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 2: to assume my life is in danger and I'm gonna
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 2: act accordingly. And I think when I saw that man
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: and how he treated those women, I assume their lives
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 2: were in danger. So if I'm in presence, and I'm
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: assuming somebody else's life is in danger, I'm gonna act
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 2: accordingly in that case too. So again, this is something
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 2: that transcends tonight's election results. This cycles election results. I
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 2: just think we have turned a point in this country
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 2: where the violence will become a lot more ubiquitous than
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 2: what we've seen previous.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 5: University why contemplating where he gonna move.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: The Podfather?
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 3: Come on, Chris, come up here? Chris? What were you saying?
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 5: Well, Chris is coming up here?
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say, so, we're on hu hamp Universe,
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 7: I said, Hipton Howard University's campus. Will Kamala Harris speak
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 7: to the crowd, regardless of what happens, she is gonna
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 7: come out, and he's gonna speak to the streets and
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 7: alumni and all that tonight. Would Why wouldn't you?
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 5: I would wait for what?
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Well, she has to. All these people
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: are here. She will definitely come out tonight.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 5: Will we would understand? I will't say this.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 7: Charlemagne and I were at Hillary Clinton's Lord celebration and
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 7: she didn't come out, So I was just asking her,
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 7: it's just definitely coming out.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 5: If she was to lose. It wouldn't feel like that.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 5: Hillary was a complete and total shock, like, whoa, what
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 5: just happened? This isn't. She had the popular voice. This isn't.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 5: This is a complete total shock.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 3: You said, this isn't.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 5: We're not.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: But we don't know yet.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 5: We don't know yet.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 8: But if it was to happen, it wouldn't be a complete,
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 8: unexpected and unprecedented what we saw in twenty sixteen. Hillary
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 8: Clinton was really the first model for that, like what
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 8: do you do our? Gore was another model for it.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 8: He didn't come out in two thousand.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 3: Uh another state for vice president?
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: Here is And while we're waiting to see what that
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 2: state is, Chris Morrow, are you feeling bro?
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 3: Who is are? We call him the pod Father?
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 9: Tiffany I was combined the names because I always say
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 9: podcast godfather. He owes a reason choice with us. And
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 9: he was over there looking crazy enough for Lenard to
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 9: be like, look at gres, So we called him up here, Chris,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 9: what's wrong with you?
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 12: May?
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 16: I'm not feeling great at the moment. I gotta be honest.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 3: Show him to overlay it the map, Lenards, so he
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 3: can calm down.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 7: He doesn't have to owe what he only.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 16: I mean I've been I've been updating every couple of seconds.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 16: I mean, you know, I've been wandering around in the
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 16: crowd on trying to pick up some energy to boost
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 16: myself up. I'm not finding it.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: Tell me what what had you most concerned? Which states?
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: You Pa?
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 16: I mean, I'm a Pennsylvania native and rigually from Pennsylvania
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 16: today in Philadelphia. Well, I live in Brooklyn, so I
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 16: voted in New York. But you know, my mother was
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 16: at the polls this morning. She wasn't optimistic. So I'm
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 16: concerned about that. And and you know, maybe an hour ago,
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 16: I think Harris was up eleven, and now it's completely
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 16: swung and they have Trump up I think two right now,
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 16: with about sixty five percent of the voting.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: Two points.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was sev seventy.
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 3: And I assume Philadelphia has not been counted yet.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 16: No, And then you know, I'm I'm here having the
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 16: many existential crisis over there, and I'm like talking to people,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 16: and people are like, these are the rural rural county
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 16: cities haven't been counted yet. Don't freak out. There's still
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 16: a long way to go. So I'm trying not to
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 16: freak out. Yeah don't, okay, thank you.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was. I'll share with you.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 8: We went to bed in twenty twenty thinking that the
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 8: Democratic loss because similar maps were coming in until the
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 8: ensuing days and the votes continued to be counted, and
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 8: it's swaying the other direction, largely because absentee challenge ballots
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 8: as well as many of the urban centers don't come
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 8: into until later. They're the last and many places to
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 8: come in.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 9: And in states like Virginia right Like Virginia right now
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 9: is seventy nine percent and she's leading by two percentage points.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 9: That's thirteen electoral votes right there too. So I think
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 9: that we just have to pay attention to the ones
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 9: they're too close to call, pay attention to the urban
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 9: centers that haven't yet been counted. Those are the larger
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 9: populations in those states. And then also the West Coast
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 9: because a lot of these to states, if they haven't
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 9: even they haven't even opened up, that closed the doors yet.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 6: One thing you showed me back from twenty twenty, Yeah,
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 6: was they flipped Georgia.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 5: In twenty twenty.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Georgia.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 5: Al looks like they flipped Georgia.
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: They're not they don't have to, you know, they don't
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 5: No, Okay, I think they could.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 9: It says there's eighty eight percent of precincts reporting and
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 9: he's got just barely a two percentage point lead over her.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: Again, Georgia's noted state I was putting in the Democratic column.
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 3: It was a soutly purple thing. I mean, that was
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 3: the first time. That was a huge deal.
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 2: That took the work of a lot of people up
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: for that election cycle for Georgia to go blue.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: But I don't think we know that george is a
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: blue state.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 3: No, it's not. But I do think Georgia is decisively
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 3: a purple state.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: Now, I think it's competitive.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 9: Well, we talked about white folks earlier in states being
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 9: very white and that's why they're red. However, Orgon has
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 9: been called for Kamala Harris as well, and that is
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 9: very white.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 6: And there you got a live action Oregon Trail movie
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 6: coming out. I don't know if you' all excited about that.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: I remember saying the hell of a transition. I remember
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: playing that.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 14: That was a game.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 5: I'm just trying to find some joy with the.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: Wheel flew out the wood wheel and you had to.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 5: Shoot the bison.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the food.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 3: You play that.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 7: Let me let me ask you guys a question.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: Was wall is the right pick?
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: I think so. No, I don't think. I don't think
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: it makes a difference.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's true.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 5: It could have. It could have.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 6: I don't think, because because she was a VP who
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 6: made a difference for a lot of people.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: I would have that's a good point. Definitely made difference
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: from me. I don't think.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 5: I I think Josh Shapiro would have made a big
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 5: difference statistically.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: I think it would have been harmful to her.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: I think he would have. Yeah, she already has enough
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 2: baggage with the ceasefire people. I think having a Zionist
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: on the ticket with her would have been detrimental to her.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but then be on her side until it cease
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 6: like they were.
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I think that there are
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: people who can say, you know, I can hold my
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 2: nose and vote for her. As you know, I don't
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: anticipate something different happening. We had Mark Lamont Hill on
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 2: the on our live show from Philly yesterday talk about that.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I asked you will recall I asked
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 2: Governor Shapiro when we were at the d n C
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: his thoughts on Gaza, and he is is very clearly
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 2: he feels very strongly in support of of of Israel.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 2: And look, nobody is not in support of Israel, but
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: we are just equally in support of a Palestinian's right
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 2: to life and safety and the Palestinian's right to exist.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: I think having somebody who doesn't feel that way, or
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: who does not openly project to feel that way, it
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 2: would have been.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 5: Trump definitely don't feel that way.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: He definitely don't.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 2: But the questions have Yeah, he's been out.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree with you that. Where I agree with
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 9: that too, it's not covered. Where they found Walls is
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 9: where they should have left Walls.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 3: That was on No.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not saying that shady.
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 9: No, I'm not saying I'm not saying in Minnesota. What
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 9: people don't understand is that Tim Walls was absolutely campaigning
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 9: for the VP slot. As soon as things started moving.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 9: He was one of the first most profound pundits on
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 9: cable news. They should have left him there, They should
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 9: have never tried to restrain him on he was on
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 9: cable news. As a governor. As soon as at the
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 9: top of the ticket, he went on immediately and was
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 9: defending her. He's the one that came with the weirdo
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 9: messaging frame. He was very effective on cable news. They
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 9: sought to restrain him when he got to the top
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 9: or when he became number two on the ticket, and
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 9: I think that was a very ineffective strategy.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 2: Now it will be the best thing ever if they
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 2: pull this thing out. But but I will tell you,
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 2: and they noticed, I've said the whole time, I'm very
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued by Jos Shapiro. I think the way
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 2: that he connects with people. I've interviewed with him, with y'all,
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 2: he's very, very good and effective. But I do I
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 2: have to agree with timp We did hear Marklea mint
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 2: Hill say on the show yesterday. As you all know,
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 2: markle mont Hill is a member of the Green Party.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 2: He said he's voting for Kamala Harris and she felt
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 2: he felt like she sent a strong signal to them
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 2: by picking I'm not picking Jos Shapiro.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 6: You know what, bringing joy, watching people enjoy their food
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 6: and watching over there going on.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: Why, Well, I think Charla Magne needs some joy, some
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 2: more joy, and shortly we are going to be joyed
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: by one of the most joyful women I know, and
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 2: that's Natasha Brown, a black voters matter.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 3: But don't go anywhere. She's in the building.

  Speaker 1: So we are fan. Wasn't she your VP s She
• 2:14:26

  Speaker 1: Amazing professor here Howard University.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 2: He was waving. Doctor Kia Grant was waving and Andrew.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 2: But we are joined by Latasha Brown, sister Blackwaters Matter.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 2: She runs that with Cliff all right, and we are
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: so happy to have you on set, Latasha, because Charlemagne
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 2: has been trying to bring.
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 3: Our joy in.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 5: I'm just I'm just looking at the realistic. I'm trying
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 5: to deal with reality.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 3: Push closer.
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 6: I'm just trying to think about all possibilities and all
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 6: possible outcomes.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: Well, it's still a pathway, okay, Like it's still a pathway.
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 13: And listen, the bottom line is for black folk, like
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 13: at the end of the day, what do we do
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 13: when it's easy at the end of the day, Like
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 13: I hear, but there's no major surprises. I mean, I
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 13: think the only surprise though, is how to hear all
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 13: these millions of people of voting for this man like
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 13: that we know it. But really, what's gonna happen to night?
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 13: I will say this, whatever happens tonight is a reflection
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 13: of this country. That's right, That's just the truth. It's
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 13: a reflection of where we are, what we think about ourselves,
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 13: and what we think about each other as neighbors.
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: And so that is the truth we can depend on that.
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 9: You guys have knocked on so many doors and made
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 9: so many contacts with voters, both old and new. Latasha,
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 9: what are some of the surprises you saw in the
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 9: field in some of the states.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 3: As Angela joined them, by the way, she was docking,
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 3: I messed up, I said, nord docking on a if
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 3: I've never.
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: Lived down I was, Angela was in these streets.
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 13: I know somefing like I think the biggest surprise, there
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 13: were no real big surprise. I think that the biggest,
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 13: My biggest surprise where we were talking to people a
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 13: few days ago and they were saying that they were
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 13: going to vote on like middle age folks, they were
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 13: going to vote on election day. They weren't gonna vote
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 13: on early voting because they didn't trust voting on early voting,
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 13: And so that was a surprise to me.
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 3: Right, I was really shocked to hear that.
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 13: Have you heard that in Georgia or I heard that
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 13: in Georgia, but there were multiple states right that there is.
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of trust been eroded from across the
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 13: country with some of the stuff that Trump has been seeing.
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 13: It's so interesting because we don't think that it's hurtful,
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 13: but it's been hurtful for the.
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 1: Entire process, and so.
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 3: I want surprised.
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 13: I said he was gonna win. Now Georgia, I'm a
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 13: little I'm still trying to all.
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: The little face.
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 3: Wait are you saying they projected?
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 5: They called it?
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 3: That's fine, yes, yes, distance the distance? How are you
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 3: in North Carolina? How you feeling? How you feeling?
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I am in this moment.
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 3: I'm scared.
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 7: His hair right.
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 3: Up here, I'm holding my joy. But they got nothing
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 3: with me being.
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 5: I don't want no hope.
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 3: You got up here?
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 2: Leonard said, where bring Natasha because she's a realist. Listen,
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 2: he's did say that before you got it. You know
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 2: it is what is scaring you? She just said she's scared.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the number scaring the number number. You know, Georgia,
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 13: it's too close in Georgia. I really thought that Georgia
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 13: was gonna have a different outcome. North Carolina, I said,
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 13: North Carolina, I wasn't surprised by North Carolina Arizona'm a
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 13: little surprised, but you know, I really thought that arige Zona,
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 13: that she would perform better in Arizona.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: It's gotta be the results.
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 9: Only it's too close. But it's only fifty one percent. Okay,
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 9: do you think he's gonna win Arizona? I?
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, you think he's win. Lord, what are your thoughts.
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 3: I'm a little disappointed that Georgia.
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: Oh I am super disappointed. Yeah happened.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 5: Didn't say she had the magical powers. The mobilized people
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 5: in Georgia. Like what happened?
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 2: Well, let me say safety Abrams did a lot. I
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 2: never want to take away from what but I just
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 2: want to say she did not do that work alone.
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 2: But Rasha has been on the ground, like for decades, Black.
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 13: Voters listenis did her work, and there's been a lot
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 13: of groups that have been doing work. But we're going
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 13: to have to actually say voter suppression doesn't go away
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 13: because we're working hard.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: We actually have to overcome that. So we're seeing that
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 1: in the South.
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 13: This year alone, y'all has been over three hundred bills
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 13: been passed around voter suppression.
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 1: So for all of us. It's been harder this year.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 3: Quote.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 13: That's just a reality, and so ultimately that doesn't make
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 13: it's still it's like you're moving the gold poles and
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 13: you gotta jump higher, you gotta jump higher, and then
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 13: when you don't jump that high, then it becomes like
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 13: a reflection on something wrong with you. You're working our
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 13: tails off in Georgia, right, we went on the ground
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 13: doing our work. But when you are pershing hundreds of
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 13: thousands of voters, when you're creating laws and make it
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 13: much more difficult for people in the process, it hasn't
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 13: a cumulative effect. So we're gonna deal with that. Whether
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 13: Harris wins or not, that's still a reality that we're faced,
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 13: particularly in the South, which is why we need voter
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 13: We need to make sure that we have stronger voter rights.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 3: Who is the guy you were on the panel with
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 3: in Georgia, the Secretary?
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: It wasn't, Yes, sir.
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is a concern of mine. Yeah, he's
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 3: a jackass.
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 2: But I want to say this because he did a
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 2: sixty minutes profile Tim and he said something that I
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 2: thought was so telling. He said, voter suppression is not real,
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 2: and neither is like what I'm paraphrasing, but essentially neither
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 2: is this idea that you're stealing an election.
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 3: I know, basically the left.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 2: Is wrong and Donald Trump, I mean white folks at
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 2: slavery was good job precisely. But they uplifted him because
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 2: he did the right thing. He became a hero for
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 2: doing what he was supposed to do. It's like if
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 2: I go into a store and I don't steal nothing,
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 2: I'm all of a sudden the hero because he didn't
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 2: find these eleven thousand votes for Donald Trump. This is
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 2: my challenge because I think so many people were so
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 2: willing to celebrate him, and yet we do still see
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 2: rampant voter suppression in this of Georgia, and people think, no,
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 2: we fixed all those problems, We solved all those problems.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: So I think it's so crucial what you just said,
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 2: we are climbing hurdles.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 13: We're climbing hurdles. Yes, we're climbing mountains. It wasn't even
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 13: in twenty twenty two. As matter of fact, each of
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 13: the in twenty twenty two, what we saw people kept saying, well,
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 13: see this, no voter suppression, because it's been high voter
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 13: turnout right, as if we didn't. The amount of resources,
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 13: the time, and the energy that we're doing around getting people,
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 13: making sure that people are voting, making sure that folks
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 13: have access to the balance, that's crazy, right, It's really
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 13: uncomfortable where we're going. So at the end of the day,
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 13: when we're seeing this, we still have to factor in
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 13: voter suppression whatever. Regardless of the outcome, voter suppression is
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 13: real and it's impacting us. And it's like that's by
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 13: a thousand cuts. You shave off a few years, you
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 13: shave off a few there, and then you get this
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 13: ultimate outcome. And so part of what we've always been
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 13: concerned about is we've got to overwhelm the vote. But
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 13: what that does is that place an undue burden on
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 13: us because listen, I ain't owning this right here, I'm
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 13: not owning this.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 3: White women are gonna have to own this right.
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 13: White being gonna have to own this Latino of being
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 13: and women gonna have to own this. We're not just
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 13: gonna own this. It is not our responsibility to say
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 13: this democracy solely by ourselves.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 1: My concern is that every single dayntime.
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 13: So we have done the work and it's been autiful,
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 13: brilliant coalition of people doing the work. But the truth
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 13: of the matter is America is structurally stuck into racism
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 13: and will not fundamentally deal with that because at the
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 13: end of the day, this particular, we're seeing white supremacy
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 13: walk around the parade and suth.
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 6: That's why I think we have to stop saying, Uh,
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 6: we're gonna save the democracy.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 5: They're getting in the democracy they want. They're getting the
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 5: democracy they voted for.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 6: They So we just honestly, we probably just in the
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 6: way because this is what they want, clearly, Yeah, but.
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 1: It's not about there. It's not just about them.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 13: We're saving the democracy that we want to at least
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 13: an element of it, because at the end of the day,
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 13: we know harm reduction, so part of us wet black
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 13: folks ain't crazy. We actually know that this system is racist.
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 13: We know that this system has not worked in favor
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 13: of us. We know that as marginalized we're sitting here
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 13: seeing a man with thirty four felon is right, think
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 13: about it in a state that you couldn't even vote right,
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 13: having a felon conviction. Now it is that he's living
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 13: and they actually were going after folks who are formally
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 13: incarcerated folks to get their rights back. But in that
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 13: same state, this man has thirty four felonies and he's
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 13: running for president. So we're literally looking at the double
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 13: standard that has always been here. I don't think that
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 13: black folks are food by believing in the system or
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 13: protecting some democracy that is the democracy in the in
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 13: the Constitution. But what we know is that when democracy
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 13: is not in place, i e. The opportunity for us
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 13: to weigh in on leadership, that it don't work well
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 13: for us. When we're not able to put people in
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 13: place that actually aligne or at least will protect us,
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 13: it don't work well for us. When we don't have
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 13: policies in place to make sure that we have resources
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 13: for our children, for our families, it doesn't work well
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 13: for us. So ultimately, there's a level of democracy that
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 13: we're we recognize it's not the democracy we desire, we deserve,
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 13: but it's.
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 1: One at the very least that reduces the harm happens.
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 6: Hockamy pathway, the pathway Latasha, let me see what they're called.
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 5: What's the pathway two thirty? What's the pathway to victory?
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 3: For the Michigan. No, she can still pull this Michigan.
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 3: She gotta win all that.
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 13: She gotta win Michigan, she gotta win in Pennsylvania, she
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 13: gotta win Wisconsin.
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: I think Minnesota is a done.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 3: Minnesota is done.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 5: She couldn't even win the state that her VP from.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 2: And y'all telling me that was no, that's they didn't
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 2: call that minutes. I mean, come on, now, come on now,
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 2: it's too early to car It's too early.
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 1: To ask what was the biggest hurdle.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 3: Let you see, I think misinformation is disinformation.
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 13: It's a huge, right, Oh, absolutely, misinformation and disinformation like
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 13: the kind of the information that is being seated in
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 13: our community. And we can always tell it's interesting. We
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 13: were going to some college campuses and in Pennsylvania and
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 13: North Carolina, and we started hearing brothers at a particular
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 13: age saying the same thing. And when you start seeing patterns,
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 13: you're asking where you get and it's wrong information because
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 13: something different right, And we kept hearing the patterns because
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 13: there's information we know this is documented that Russia even
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 13: right now that we saw in Georgia there were SEP
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 13: nineteen bomb threats that literally went to codes of polls
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 13: in Georgia. Right, the FBI put out a statement that
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 13: that was from a rush. They check trace that back
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 13: to Russian. We've got to be clear, I got Russian
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 13: packages to my home in twenty twenty two. That there
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 13: are other actors that have vested interest in this election
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 13: cycle and they're actively targeting Black voters because we are
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 13: leverage vote.
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 3: But the truth of the matter is we're not the
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 3: majority vote.
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 13: We are the leverage vote, and so we've got to
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 13: keep that we in order to have the kind of
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 13: protection that we need. We literally have to have our liveship.
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 13: And so the question is they're not gonna put this
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 13: on the feet of just black vote. At the end
• 2:25:50
  Speaker 13: of the day, I'm asking the question, don't be talking
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 13: to me about no black men, what these white women need?
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 6: What do you think about things like somebody just posted
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 6: an interesting data point. Donald Trump just won Antient County,
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 6: North Carolina. The county is forty percent black. Trump becomes
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 6: just the second Republican to win this county since the
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 6: eighteen seventies.
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 13: You know, I've got to look at what the turnout numbers.
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 13: That seems like it's probably a turnout issue.
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it means.
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 6: It may mean and let me see it. Where is
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 6: it uh Anston County, North Carolina.
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 13: I need to see where it's located because I also
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 13: am concerned about turnout part of North Carolina. I was
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 13: concerned about turnout because of the storm. Right when you
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 13: walked in the storm, and I know you noticed Andrew
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 13: like in it uphill for your entire life. People are
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 13: not really thinking about elections. It's not at the top
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 13: of their piece. So for me, I would look at
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 13: it and I would think, I don't think you're not
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 13: gonna find this big exodus of black voters to the Republicans.
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 13: I do think what you'll see is you'll see a
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 13: turnout issue.
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 9: I want to go back to Arizona really quick and
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 9: then go back to Arizona. The reason why I want
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 9: to go back to Arizona is because right now he's
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 9: beating her by the point one percentage points. In twenty twenty,
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 9: Joe Biden only won Arizona by point three percent zero
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 9: point three percentage points.
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 13: So Arizona is a tough one and the Latino vote,
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 13: like it's really the key vote in that area is
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 13: the Latino vote. So we're gonna have to see what.
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 9: They would have responded positively to the immigration proposals by uh,
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 9: the Harris Walls ticket.
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 3: They went a lot more conservative, right.
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that's what I think. I think they went a
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 13: lot more conservative. And we're gonna see, We're gonna see
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 13: how it. Watch us out. You know what I've been
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 13: hearing so far, and I haven't had the chance. That's
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 13: why I'm haven't had the chance to really look at
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 13: the data. So I want to be I want to
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 13: be real and authentic what I'm saying. You know, I'm
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 13: not trying like, we gotta deal in truth. We gonna
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 13: really take our people to the next level. We gotta
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 13: deal with the truth of it. And we've got to
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 13: deal with what's the element of what is happening in
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 13: this country. Because I do believe there's a larger issue.
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 13: This ain't about just Trump and Harris. This really is
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 13: a reflection of where we are as a country. Like ultimately,
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 13: there's some people that are saying we're gonna die on
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 13: the sword right based on protecting white interests at all costs. Right,
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 13: don't care about the democracy, we don't care about patriotism.
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 1: None of that.
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, we at all costs.
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 3: We're gonna protect white supremacy.
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 13: This man has insulted every sing He's broken every rule
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 13: that you can break.
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 5: He got something greater than the white privilege.
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 1: What you got, I don't know.
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 5: I ain't never seen white privilege.
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 3: White privilege were called the Civil War. The majority of folks, no, no.
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 5: No, with Donald Trump marginalized this the greatest white man.
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump marginalized this white man that got power, white
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 6: men that got buildingies of Chylis. They cowarded him. I've
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 6: never seen anything like it. Like, nobody knows how to
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 6: deal with Donald Trump. Like we keep saying, he's the
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 6: threat of democracy. The dj didn't treat him like a
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 6: thread of democracy. The media don't treat him like a
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 6: thread of democracy.
• 2:28:42
  Speaker 5: And voters, damn sure, I ain't treating him like a
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 5: threat of democracy. I've never seen anything.
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 3: How many how many white men have had that like.
• 2:28:49
  Speaker 1: Like, I've never done.
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 5: That's the only one I've ever seen it like this, No, no, no.
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 1: No, we're saying that.
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 13: But historically in this country, we've protected all kinds of
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 13: white men doing all kinds of stuff. Epstein, all of them.
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 13: That's that was be like like like we gotta be Kennedy.
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 13: We we can go on and on and on in
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 13: terms of how America protects white men. In our lifetime,
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 13: we've seen a different kind of reality, so we had
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 13: a different expectation, but the structural racism that led you.
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 13: Let me say this, if you protect and support a
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 13: whole group of people being in slave like what like?
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 3: What else?
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 13: We supposed to be shocked at what you do protecting
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 13: the Trump. They have protected a whole lot of Trumps.
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 6: But I've also seen I've also seen them a lot
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 6: of those white men deal with the consequences of their actions.
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 6: I ain't seen him having to deal with the consequence
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 6: of nothing yet what why he run?
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 9: He literally is scheduled to be sentenced a couple of
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 9: weeks from now. Let's have y'all, he still would have
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 9: to be sworn in.
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: None of that happening, I think happened and before it was.
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 13: Even Yeah, I think it's a danger to make it
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 13: seem like he's bigger than because he's not. The truth
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 13: of the matter is, white people in this country have
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 13: not felt the threat of losing their position in power.
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 1: They're not protecting it.
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they're not just protecting Trump because something Trump superman.
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 13: They're protecting what he represents, They're connecting themselves, they're protecting themselves.
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 13: And so ultimately, if we don't recognize that, and they've
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 13: always done that, I can go historically on all of
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 13: the black folks who have been killed and lynched and
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 13: hung and nothing happened to them. So we talked about
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 13: what he did. I'm talking about folks who actually killed
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 13: our people and nothing happened to them. That came after
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 13: us and nothing happened to them. So that's not something new.
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 13: That ain't not new in America. Like, what we're seeing
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 13: is a different level of sophistication around it, and we've
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 13: not seen someone and and we've not seen a level
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 13: of protecting a candidate in our lifetime. But part of
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 13: it is because it's not about the candidate. If it's
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 13: about what he represents and he represents their position in
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 13: a way that they're no longer going to be the
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 13: majority of this country, that's a different ball game.
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 6: Well, I maintained that we knew this election was going
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 6: to be tight, and we know black people show up
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 6: late for everything.
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 3: So hopefully, I hope and Arizona.
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 8: These black votes show up late because you know what,
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 8: but bears repeating this election's lost or wins should not
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 8: fall on the backs of black folks, because what it
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 8: would tell me at the end of the day, if
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 8: we have to go through these numbers, we're going to
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 8: see that we had a lot of disappointment from white
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 8: women if it didn't go the way that we think.
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 8: Everybody's like, we're gonna break this fifty five. We got
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 8: break fifty two percent support from white We don't.
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: Know it for a back.
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 2: When I tell you, I'm not talking to these hot
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 2: I mean it, I home to them. Whoever voted for Trump. Oh,
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 2: these white women voting for Trump, voting against their interests.
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 3: Tell you're not gonna tell us what we're gonna do
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 3: with our own bodies.
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 7: The hell you know.
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 9: They literally have voted to uphold and a band or
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 9: to vote against, to vote against.
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 3: Well, it's in North Carolina, the abortion band.
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 9: They voted against it, the ballot initiative, but it's neck
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 9: connect with it was neck connect with Kamala.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 3: They voted for Josh Stein, but it's it was neck
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 3: connect with Kamala.
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 1: I don't get it.
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 13: Let me say this white privilege is like some high
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 13: end cocaine. We don't know, No, seriously, like we are not.
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 13: We are in denial of how white privilege they've never
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 13: been in a space in this nation that literally they
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 13: have like their protection of every area of society particularly
• 2:32:43
  Speaker 13: and in terms to the highest offices they've been protected
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 13: on that we are we are really underestimated, right, how
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 13: fearful they are of just sharing power.
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 1: We're not even talking about just sharing power.
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 13: So ultimately, what they're saying, what what we're seeing in
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 13: this moment is that we don't care about any It
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 13: is out and we will give it all. We were
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 13: burning all down in order to protect our privilege.
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 6: So how the white people, like the Merritgarlands of the world,
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 6: didn't you go after pisition?
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 3: He should never have been there.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 1: Well, so whose fault is that the person who put
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 1: him there, which is Biden.
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So why are those I thought those supposed to
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 6: be the good white folks that's supposed to protect democracy.
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 3: Well, here's what they miss calculated.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: And uphold democracy.
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 9: They miscalculated the fact that this they picked him to
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 9: be a safe Supreme Court justice that they would be
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 9: able to get past with profess Yes, once Barack Obama
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 9: nominated him, and I think that there was some nostalgia
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 9: or something where they thought, oh, we're gonna put this
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 9: safe person here, is to make them feel like we're
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 9: reaching out and extending an olive branches. Well, extending an
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 9: olive wrench meant that you took put someone as the
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 9: head of the Department of Justice in the j Aggar
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 9: Hoover building that continued the legacy of j Edgar Hoover.
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 6: Another thing I learned because you asked that earlier, Andrew,
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 6: about what did we learn over the last year. I
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 6: learned that a lot of people don't even know Donald
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 6: Trump does things wrong because he doesn't get treated like.
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 1: He's doing anything right right.
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what Tasha's point though, Charlotte, mean,
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 2: all the things you said, they were colossal failures. That
• 2:34:19
  Speaker 2: was the colossal failure by the media to not treat
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 2: him that way. It was a colossal failure by people
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 2: to not be on the front lines of misinformation and
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 2: disinformation when technology was moving faster than or technology, yeah,
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 2: was moving faster than policy. It was a colossal failure
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 2: of I say, voters for not being more intellectually curious
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 2: about what's happening. I don't think that elevates Donald Trump.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 2: I think it just reflects where we are in society,
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 2: which is heartbreaking. But I'm still not I still feel optimistic.
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 2: We don't know, yah, don't you know? The big dates
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 2: that we're waiting for have not yet been called. And
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 2: Andrew raised something good. I think we were all talking
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 2: so we didn't hear it. But when you were talking
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 2: about losing Arizona, Andrew said that he lost, and I
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 2: put lost in quotes, but lost Florida by three.
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 3: Point point three point three point three point three.
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 8: So the lectures can come down then close and still
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 8: not go your way. Every boat matters, it counts. But Latasha,
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 8: you brought home. I think where we started this show
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 8: about was really this conversation of white privilege and power
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 8: and what it will do, how it acts instinctually to
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 8: protect itself.
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 1: It's like a knee jerk, like someone hits your knee
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 1: and you kick hard. It's been a place for centuries,
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 1: y'all muscle memories.
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 8: They don't have to rehearse it, practice for it. It's
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 8: instinctual that you respond a certain way. When your body
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 8: is attacked. Your body does the same thing. It races
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 8: to wherever the intrusion is to kill whatever is coming
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 8: for you. I act the same way about power it
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 8: has about to.
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 1: Be taken from you. You do whatever it takes to
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 1: keep it.
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 3: Look, Latasha, we were on the phone.
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 2: We're on the phone chatting, and we were talking about
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 2: how it feels different to you, and I would saying,
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 2: but this isn't different.
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 3: And I was I called Angela or she called one.
• 2:36:10
  Speaker 2: Well, somehow we were on the phone with each other
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 2: and I was telling her that you were saying it
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 2: feels different. I'm like, it just doesn't. This is the
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 2: same thing that we've always known. And Angela was like, no,
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 2: it feels different to me too. At the time, you
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 2: said I need to sit with it right to figure out.
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 2: I just wonder if you've sat with it and if
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 2: you have anything that you want to share tonight about
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 2: why it feels different this time. And I would put
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 2: that same question to you Angela, like why does it
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 2: feel different this time when we really haven't in my opinion,
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 2: we really haven't seen anything new.
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 1: Oh I do think we've seen something new, and I
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 1: do think that is different.
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 13: Let me be clear what white behavior does not determine
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 13: or does not define everybody.
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 3: Else's behavior necessarily.
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 13: And I'm saying that that there is, Yes, there is
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 13: a core group of folks in this country clearly that
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 13: align themselves with racist, misogynists, sexist idea.
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 1: That's clear, right.
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 13: But what I have seen that has been distinctively different,
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 13: and then I'll talk about the energy of what I'm
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 13: feeling as well. Distinctively different is even we saw it
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 13: different even from the Obama campaign. And the Obama campaign,
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 13: it was this charismatic, brilliant brother that everybody kind of
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 13: colledesced and surrounded around and were excited that he was
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 13: gonna we what we saw different with Kambali's campaign, it's
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 13: been that people have literally you saw folks really owning
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 13: their own identity. That was very different. It wasn't just
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 13: centered around her. You saw the cat ladies, the childish
• 2:37:32
  Speaker 13: cat ladies, and the and the the white dudes. And
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 13: there is a coalition. Let me tell you, whether it's
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 13: this election or not, there is there is a coalition
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 13: of people that are building in this country. Literally that
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 13: the majority is us. Now, whether that's reflected in the
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 13: in the box is a different thing. But that's why
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 13: you got voter suppression. That's why you got misinformation and disinformation.
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 13: If you're just fair game, there's the majority of them,
• 2:37:56
  Speaker 13: you ain't got to do all that.
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 6: So let's be clear, does Latasha that we may not
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 6: know what took Electoria might look like, like like the
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 6: Republican electoria might look totally different than in the Democrat
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 6: electoria might look totally different than what we're used to.
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 6: What do you mean, like like you see Republicans now
• 2:38:11
  Speaker 6: they bringing in more black people, they're bringing in.
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna have to see these because let me say this,
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 13: I'm not sure if that's the case. No, no, no,
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 13: not even tonight. It's not convincing me of that. Let
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 13: me say this, because I think that there is anytime
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 13: you bring more people into any process, the vote spread
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 13: is gonna be greater.
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 3: That's just that's just math.
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 1: You white folks, women, black folks.
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 13: Anytime you're gonna have a diversity of a voter spread,
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 13: that's just as more people get involved in the process,
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 13: there's a larger spread.
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 1: And so I'm not convinced.
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 3: The other thing is, and we don't want to talk
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 3: about this because we don't really want to talk about.
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 13: How capitalism works either. And so in capitalism. We have
• 2:38:50
  Speaker 13: turned America too a big old commercial. It's a big
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 13: ass commercial that ultimately everything is about marketing. Everything is
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 13: about marketing. People are even literally making careers based on
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 13: just marketing. Like and so at the end of the day,
• 2:39:03
  Speaker 13: what we're seeing is people I can talk to somebody
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 13: for five minutes and I can tell you if they
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 13: read or what network they listen to. It's almost we
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 13: have dumbed the dumbing down of this nation where people
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 13: are really not even critical thinkers about things that they're
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 13: literally attaching to particular kind of positions because it make
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 13: them seem cool. I mean, I don't know if y'all
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 13: saw the thing, y'all probably even talked about, but walka Flaka.
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 13: This brother out here, he endorses somebody he ain't never
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 13: got you, never voted, and so but I understand because
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 13: at the end of the day, who's who is it?
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 1: Who is it? Come on?
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 2: And I was gonna tell y'all we're having such profound discussion,
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 2: But I was gonna tell you that we were literally,
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 2: uh sitting here, and while we were sitting here, Virginia Washington.
• 2:39:51
  Speaker 3: Took the.
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 9: Virginia organ event calls. We've been sitting here, but it
• 2:39:56
  Speaker 9: was such a profound discussion.
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 3: I did not yet.
• 2:39:59
  Speaker 13: Let's say high the pathway halfway.
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's the bad way the same, that's the same.
• 2:40:10
  Speaker 3: Andrew said, damn it.
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 1: The same.
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 3: I know I'm saying you told them I'm agreeing with you.
• 2:40:17
  Speaker 1: But we're still on track. We're still okay.
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 5: Just making sure.
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 3: He's like, I just let me look at this.
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 7: Map, take a show.
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 2: I'm curious when you hear Lata why it feels different
• 2:40:28
  Speaker 2: to her? Does that resonate with you? Is that the
• 2:40:30
  Speaker 2: same feeling that.
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 3: And what resonates with me is comes to.
• 2:40:37
  Speaker 2: Because you know I've found about the sea walking ball
• 2:40:40
  Speaker 2: this elect don't know what I'm saying.
• 2:40:42
  Speaker 6: I really do.
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 2: I'm don't feel like if I cannot lose hope because
• 2:40:46
  Speaker 2: you guys don't want to see me there, I'm.
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 3: Don't have to.
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 3: I am refusing to succumb that I am.
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, not no more. Yeah, agnowledged.
• 2:40:59
  Speaker 6: Listen whatever God God plan gonna happen. Better, don't ride
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 6: I ride.
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 5: With the VP.
• 2:41:10
  Speaker 13: Music.
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, but Latasha, I want you to you got you,
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 2: you are connected to the most time. I want you
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 2: to close this out with something good because we know
• 2:41:19
  Speaker 2: you gotta go find some votes.
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna find a vote.
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 6: Every black Grandma and America got god phone line backed up.
• 2:41:30
  Speaker 1: About that.
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 7: Before before you go there, I do have one question, right,
• 2:41:35
  Speaker 7: you look at everything online, you look at banking online,
• 2:41:38
  Speaker 7: we do everything online. Will ever get to a point
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 7: where we can vote online?
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 7: Because today when I voted today, right, they didn't even
• 2:41:45
  Speaker 7: look at my I d I came up my little
• 2:41:47
  Speaker 7: pamphlet that they mailed to me, they scanned it, and
• 2:41:48
  Speaker 7: I voted right. So it could have been you, It
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 7: could have been somebody else who knows who Sean is.
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 7: But will it ever get to a point where we're
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 7: gonna be voting online?
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 1: It will if we make it be.
• 2:41:57
  Speaker 13: So the truth of the matter is, while we voting,
• 2:41:59
  Speaker 13: like like standing in line, I can move a million
• 2:42:02
  Speaker 13: dollars on my cell phone, why can't vote? There are
• 2:42:05
  Speaker 13: people actually that are voting online, that are abroad, and
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 13: so we've got to recognize that there.
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 1: Are barriers, there are intentional barriers.
• 2:42:12
  Speaker 13: So people don't participate in this process because the truth
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 13: of the matter is all of America's not participating in
• 2:42:17
  Speaker 13: the process. What I do know for sure is that
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 13: there are more Americans in my that I believe that
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 13: I run into that really believe we like, we believe
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 13: like ultimately that is the truth. And so part of
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 13: what we gotta do is we've got to organize. We've
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 13: got to get people to really be even the media,
• 2:42:32
  Speaker 13: the way that the media has given him a passion
• 2:42:35
  Speaker 13: that they have created a false equivalency. It's like the
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 13: way that they've had a double standard for her versus them,
• 2:42:41
  Speaker 13: Like all of that has fed into that they are
• 2:42:43
  Speaker 13: to be held accountabilists too. So at the end, we've
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 13: got to do the work if we want the kind
• 2:42:48
  Speaker 13: of America that we desire, or we want the Conde nation.
• 2:42:51
  Speaker 13: I always ask people wherever I go, I usually ask
• 2:42:54
  Speaker 13: people to close your eyes, and I'll just and I'll
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 13: ask them what your eyes closed? What would this nation
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 13: look like? What would America look like without racism? And
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 13: most of the time, no matter where I go, ninety
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 13: nine to one hundred percent of ninety nine percent of
• 2:43:09
  Speaker 13: the people in the room, I don't care. If I'm
• 2:43:11
  Speaker 13: at a big college, I don't care if I got
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 13: ten thousand the orders. I don't care if I got
• 2:43:14
  Speaker 13: five hundred the majority of us have never asked ourself
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 13: this question.
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 1: Let me take racism, ain't my damn inheritance. That is
• 2:43:21
  Speaker 1: not my I was not given that.
• 2:43:23
  Speaker 13: That's not who That's not what I'm gonna take on
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 13: like that's what I'm supposed to do for the rest
• 2:43:26
  Speaker 13: of my life.
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 1: That.
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 13: Oh, but but we if we're not asking that question
• 2:43:30
  Speaker 13: and we're not imagining and thinking about what is gonna
• 2:43:33
  Speaker 13: exist beyond that?
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 3: Right, because that was a sister.
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 13: All we getting all biped out of shape because of
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 13: the map and all this other stuff.
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 3: Right, there was a sister.
• 2:43:42
  Speaker 13: Named Harriet Tupman that came to the South nineteen times
• 2:43:45
  Speaker 13: with a fifty thousand dollars bounty on her head. She
• 2:43:48
  Speaker 13: believed when nobody else around her believe I wanted them,
• 2:43:51
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna believe until they call it.
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 1: Oh wit, I'm gonna believe it we and not just
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 1: call it even.
• 2:43:58
  Speaker 13: When they call it. We've got a rectized We've got
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 13: more work to do that. Ultimately, we've got more work
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 13: to do that. Racism has shown itself.
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 1: It is alive and well in this station.
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 13: Trump is a prime example of why we do need
• 2:44:12
  Speaker 13: the He's a prime example of why we need affirmtive action.
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 13: He is the evidence of why we need those things,
• 2:44:18
  Speaker 13: and so instead of backing away from them, we should
• 2:44:20
  Speaker 13: even push harder on them.
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 9: So that's where we are in this moment, and right
• 2:44:25
  Speaker 9: now you all, just so that we can capture this moment.
• 2:44:29
  Speaker 9: Right now, forty nine Senate seats have been called for Republicans,
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 9: forty one for Democrats, one hundred and forty two Democratic
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 9: seats have been called in one hundred and seventy three
• 2:44:38
  Speaker 9: for Republican. Whoever is the quickest to two eighteen, or
• 2:44:41
  Speaker 9: ever he gets to two eighteen has the majority in
• 2:44:43
  Speaker 9: the House, and whoever gets to fifty, of course in
• 2:44:45
  Speaker 9: the Senate, depending on who is elected president. Of course,
• 2:44:49
  Speaker 9: if there's a if it's a type, it's fifty to fifty.
• 2:44:53

• 2:46:38
  Speaker 8: beat going in. But but everybody, regardless of what instrument

• 2:46:44
  Speaker 8: that keeps us left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.
• 2:46:49
  Speaker 1: And I think we need that so bad. We do
• 2:46:52
  Speaker 1: as a community.
• 2:46:53
  Speaker 13: We do.
• 2:46:54
  Speaker 8: It doesn't exist in the culture personality, it's our spirit.
• 2:46:58
  Speaker 1: Spirit enters us at different times. And you know, I'm
• 2:47:02
  Speaker 1: just glad that rested.
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 3: While we gotta believe y'all, Yeah, we were built for this.
• 2:47:06
  Speaker 1: We do hard things. Yeah, hard things, so.
• 2:47:09
  Speaker 13: I you know, and you can't control what other people do.
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 13: All we gotta do is make ourselves be a light
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 13: and do our part.
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 3: So you know, we in these streets in.
• 2:47:18
  Speaker 5: Democrats are now favored to flip control of the House.
• 2:47:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I always thought we were gonna
• 2:47:24
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are gonna get the health Yeah, there are
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 2: too many races are not called yet.
• 2:47:27
  Speaker 9: But I am also gonna shout out my state again
• 2:47:30
  Speaker 9: because Washington State has a blue governor and Bob Ferguson
• 2:47:37
  Speaker 9: and Dave Riker left he's he was saying he was
• 2:47:40
  Speaker 9: gonna flip in the support abortion. He was in Congress
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 9: as you all know before he did not win, So
• 2:47:45
  Speaker 9: that's the little victory.
• 2:47:47
  Speaker 2: And then Minnesota is too close to call, which I
• 2:47:49
  Speaker 2: really am like that is from Yeah, it's too close.
• 2:47:53
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna eat him now. Listen, I'm gonna need him
• 2:47:55
  Speaker 13: to deliver Minnesota. I'm gonna beat him to at least
• 2:47:57
  Speaker 13: deliver Maisota. We're coach you better. I need you come through.
• 2:48:03
  Speaker 13: But I think he's it.
• 2:48:04
  Speaker 1: Will it will? I know? But I think I actually
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 1: believe that.
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 3: I believe that. I just you don't believe that.
• 2:48:12
  Speaker 5: I never believed that.
• 2:48:13
  Speaker 3: We're gonna win. Really really, you know, I didn't. I
• 2:48:17
  Speaker 3: told you, she said joshually I like him as if
• 2:48:20
  Speaker 3: you don't.
• 2:48:22
  Speaker 5: Him.
• 2:48:22
  Speaker 1: The good news is it won't matter.
• 2:48:32
  Speaker 3: Welcome to.
• 2:48:36
  Speaker 2: Will you guys? Andrew is so fiery. And Andrew is
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 2: an asshole and everything all the time. So we talk
• 2:48:48
  Speaker 2: about brother.
• 2:48:48
  Speaker 1: I love no, no, no, but I I love it too.
• 2:48:52
  Speaker 7: But I want to hear this.
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 5: I want to hear this.
• 2:48:55
  Speaker 3: Why what? What's what's this thing about?
• 2:48:57
  Speaker 10: What?
• 2:48:57
  Speaker 8: What?
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 1: Preferred Josh Wall.
• 2:49:01
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:49:01
  Speaker 6: I feel like he had a lot of energy when
• 2:49:03
  Speaker 6: he started, but it just it just wasn't sustainable. I
• 2:49:06
  Speaker 6: never really bought into the whole weird phrasing, like I thought.
• 2:49:11
  Speaker 6: But I knew it was gonna turn people off because
• 2:49:12
  Speaker 6: you can't label people.
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 3: Weird like that's they shouldn't be weird, but it is weird.
• 2:49:17
  Speaker 1: Didn't weird, but he did.
• 2:49:19
  Speaker 9: But here's the thing. It wouldn't right. It would have
• 2:49:23
  Speaker 9: stuck if they would have stuck his ass back on
• 2:49:25
  Speaker 9: cable news when we saw him. They should have kept
• 2:49:28
  Speaker 9: him there right in that.
• 2:49:29
  Speaker 6: And there's a thing about and I just think there's
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 6: a thing about watching old white men.
• 2:49:35
  Speaker 3: I think I actually think he was good and Donald
• 2:49:37
  Speaker 3: Trump was old.
• 2:49:39
  Speaker 5: He got he got bodied by JD. Vans in the debate,
• 2:49:41
  Speaker 5: which he was.
• 2:49:42
  Speaker 3: He was nervous. I don't he got bott debate, but
• 2:49:45
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say he got. He started off nervous.
• 2:49:47
  Speaker 5: And the reason and the reason he got bodies.
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 6: The reason he got bodies because yat Fans literally was
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 6: out there every Sunday morning on those cables taking those hards,
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 6: getting beat up.
• 2:49:57
  Speaker 3: But they put him, They've tried to block him. I
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 3: thought he was a good candidate, I really did. I'm not.
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 3: It's not over yet, but I do.
• 2:50:04
  Speaker 1: Think Minnesota let her damn Sorry, but we were nervous
• 2:50:10
  Speaker 1: about and he wasn't for me.
• 2:50:12
  Speaker 5: He wasn't for us.
• 2:50:13
  Speaker 3: He was like him and his.
• 2:50:16
  Speaker 1: I just yeah, I don't know. It was it was
• 2:50:21
  Speaker 1: for white comfort, yes, no, no, no, no, no, he
• 2:50:25
  Speaker 1: was he literally he did.
• 2:50:27
  Speaker 5: You Let me tell you.
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 1: They could look up, however, and see a white man.
• 2:50:31
  Speaker 9: Can I just all the time we have Lauren who

• 2:52:05
  Speaker 1: In the column. We we walk away with those three.

• 2:52:21
  Speaker 3: He gotta come through that. I think that's fair. I
• 2:52:24
  Speaker 3: think that's fair.
• 2:52:24
  Speaker 1: So you all Democrats, Yeah, yes, absolutely, in the blue wall.
• 2:52:35
  Speaker 3: Absolutely if you were a governor of that state delivered.
• 2:52:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:52:38
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, But I also thinks don't matter. We are not
• 2:52:43
  Speaker 8: walking in the ballot box and saying, well that really
• 2:52:47
  Speaker 8: is the only time I've ever seen the marrital was
• 2:52:49
  Speaker 8: Sarah Sarah Palin.
• 2:52:50
  Speaker 9: No, it mattered for me with Joe Biden and Kamalio here. Okay,
• 2:52:55
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't have voted for Trump. You would not have, right,
• 2:52:58
  Speaker 9: but it still matters.
• 2:52:59
  Speaker 8: It wouldn't would not have changed your vote based off
• 2:53:02
  Speaker 8: who the vice president is.
• 2:53:03
  Speaker 1: And my point is this, no one does. I don't
• 2:53:05

  Speaker 3: Alabama didn't come through for just told us it was
• 2:54:34
  Speaker 3: on all of us. What happened to Alabamabama before we got.
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 5: Up This.
• 2:54:42
  Speaker 2: Want that way for about the last century to honestly,
• 2:54:45
  Speaker 2: what would it take because everybody always says, I say
• 2:54:48
  Speaker 2: this all the time. Everybody always says the South is red,
• 2:54:50
  Speaker 2: and I always counter the South is red until it ain't.
• 2:54:53
  Speaker 2: And we have seen Georgia's turn into a purple state.
• 2:54:55
  Speaker 2: What would it take in Alabama?
• 2:54:57
  Speaker 12: You have to have more people move into the state,
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 12: both black, white, and brown coming from the state.
• 2:55:02
  Speaker 5: That kind of change the narrative.
• 2:55:04
  Speaker 2: Migration pioneering again Yeah, you have to have that that
• 2:55:07
  Speaker 2: comes from job growth, that comes from people relocating.
• 2:55:10
  Speaker 1: That helps.
• 2:55:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you had, and now you can't have Florida, you know,
• 2:55:14
  Speaker 12: I mean Florida has gone now rent in a way
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 12: we wouldn't have expected, in a different kind of way.
• 2:55:18
  Speaker 5: So you don't want that. And now we look at
• 2:55:20
  Speaker 5: Ohio places that well, it's.
• 2:55:21
  Speaker 1: The capital of white supremacy increasingly, so.
• 2:55:25
  Speaker 8: Our migration has been of folks leaving Ohio who may
• 2:55:28
  Speaker 8: have been law enforcement officers. To go back to one
• 2:55:30
  Speaker 8: of y'all shows that y'all did with Byron where he said,
• 2:55:33
  Speaker 8: we see all the law enforcement coming to Florida because
• 2:55:35
  Speaker 8: they see an embracing No, they saw immunity from prosecution
• 2:55:40
  Speaker 8: for anything that they do in the pursuit of their job,
• 2:55:42
  Speaker 8: and now they're protected.
• 2:55:43
  Speaker 9: So really quick where our show is actually technically off air,
• 2:55:47
  Speaker 9: going off air, but we started a few minutes late,
• 2:55:49
  Speaker 9: and we have breakfast club host Laura l Rossa who
• 2:55:53
  Speaker 9: is ready to go live from the riser. So we're
• 2:55:58
  Speaker 9: going to hurt now, all right, we're cutting a Lauren,
• 2:56:01
  Speaker 9: can we hear her? We should be able to hear her, Lauren,
• 2:56:06
  Speaker 9: where you're at?
• 2:56:07
  Speaker 3: Lauren? Can you hear us, Lauren, there, I can hear them,
• 2:56:10
  Speaker 3: Bay feeling over there? Lauren. Wait, can you guys hear me?
• 2:56:15
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 2:56:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you can hear Okay feeling over there. Let
• 2:56:18
  Speaker 3: me tell you. Okay, So, first of all, I heard
• 2:56:21
  Speaker 3: Charloamagne say that the crowd.
• 2:56:22
  Speaker 2: Was clearing out that it's not true exactly literally stuck
• 2:56:27
  Speaker 2: like blue. The way that we were up there where
• 2:56:30
  Speaker 2: we were like kind of sitting on the edge of
• 2:56:31
  Speaker 2: our seats, like, oh my god, was about that? Was
• 2:56:32
  Speaker 2: about that? But that's what's happening down here. When you
• 2:56:35
  Speaker 2: hear them yell, it's any wind in blue, especially Kamma.
• 2:56:38
  Speaker 2: Of course when they get quiet, it's not good news.
• 2:56:42
  Speaker 2: But no one's going anywhere. I think one thing that
• 2:56:44
  Speaker 2: is work pointing out to is even when they bring
• 2:56:46
  Speaker 2: seeing Inn on the screen, everyone's watching the smaller lower
• 2:56:49
  Speaker 2: screens in any small wins, like when she won Washington
• 2:56:52
  Speaker 2: that wasn't on the big screen.
• 2:56:53
  Speaker 3: It was on a lower third, and people started yelling.
• 2:56:55
  Speaker 3: I'm like, why is that very so excited?
• 2:56:57
  Speaker 1: Lower third?
• 2:56:58
  Speaker 2: They're literally glued to their I would say their seats,
• 2:57:00
  Speaker 2: but they're standing up. And I think that Kamlin.
• 2:57:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe like I'm starting to see people near her stage,
• 2:57:06
  Speaker 3: don't oh yeah coming up soon. That's right, she's coming.
• 2:57:12
  Speaker 3: It's really close down here, y'all. It's the same way
• 2:57:14
  Speaker 3: that we were up there, but it's like a group
• 2:57:16
  Speaker 3: thing down here.
