1
00:00:02,820 --> 00:00:07,260
mo fax with Adam curry for
December 30 2019. This is

2
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:18,090
episode number 19 the heck is

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,830
This is main source. Yeah.
Looking at the front door

4
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:23,970
should I know this

5
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:28,050
obscure hip hop from the 90s so

6
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:32,610
90s I was like building a
company and I didn't give a crap

7
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:38,010
the Bill Clinton got impeached.
I had no idea. Completely

8
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:40,710
different things. Okay, that's
nice. I like it a lot. But hey,

00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:42,750

Merry Christmas to you, sir. How
you doing? Yeah,

11
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:48,210
good. Good. We haven't spoken
for a little bit. In fact, that

12
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:51,390
was just before we got started.
Someone on Twitter was giving us

13
00:00:51,390 --> 00:00:55,290
crap. Saying hey, where's
Where's Moe fax you guys are

14
00:00:55,290 --> 00:01:01,350
slacking like, man. It's ended
the holidays. We know that m

15
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:05,640
five M goes on holiday but we
actually tried to do something

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,210
for you. All

17
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,600
right, we we should bring in the
beat team. I mean, like

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,440
everybody else.

19
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:15,810
Yeah, the life of a podcaster
now did you have? Do you have a

20
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:19,140
nice Christmas? You? Does a lot
of your family come over to how

21
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:23,430
do I see that? You got you got
like 18 kids? Yes.

22
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:31,290
No. No. We had a great
Christmas. My mom was gone came

23
00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:35,460
in came to visit. She just went
home today. So I got a been

24
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:36,420
loved up.

25
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:38,340
Oh, yeah. Nice.

26
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:43,050
And sleep deprived due to the
kids. You know, they get up

27
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:48,840
hella early in the morning. So
I'm running low asleep behind

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,080
the.

29
00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:53,520
Okay. Very good. Yeah, we had my
my step, stepdaughters. Were

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,660
over. Okay. And Christina has,
she was with her mom this year.

31
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:00,870
So she's here next year, and she
was in Rotterdam. But it was

32
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:04,380
nice, nice, pretty uneventful.
Nice, everyone happy, you know,

33
00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:06,030
just enough to drink

34
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:10,500
perfect. About the same here
without the drinking.

35
00:02:11,850 --> 00:02:16,530
Which brings us to moe facts,
the last one for this year. And

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,330
that you were we kind of left
it. After the last episode, we

37
00:02:21,330 --> 00:02:25,560
like I'm going to wrap up into
your stuff and, and I realized

38
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:28,440
about an hour ago, like I really
have no idea what we're doing.

39
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,980
So I am ready to be to embark on
the journey.

40
00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:40,680
This is going to be the black
vote episode. Okay. So we're

41
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,740
going to talk about a few things
that we promised that we were

42
00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:47,850
going to talk about the Southern
strategy, Why do black people

43
00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:54,900
vote vote democratic? And why I
refuse to vote? Why am I

44
00:02:55,380 --> 00:02:58,980
abstaining from voting? So I
promise to answer those

45
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:02,520
questions. And I think those
will be answered in this

46
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,090
episode.

47
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:07,260
I can't wait. It should be over
in my, what, 17 minutes.

48
00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:15,480
So, so we have, um, let's just
get right into it, the history

49
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,970
of the black vote, and what it
means for 2020.

50
00:03:18,059 --> 00:03:22,289
In 2020, we think that at least
one out of every four votes that

51
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:24,779
are cast in the Democratic
primaries for president are

52
00:03:24,779 --> 00:03:27,929
going to come from black voters,
it's very possible that will be

53
00:03:27,929 --> 00:03:31,289
the highest number we've ever
seen before. It's very possible,

54
00:03:31,289 --> 00:03:34,079
we will look back at 2020 and
say the black vote was never

55
00:03:34,079 --> 00:03:38,909
more important than in 22. Put
this in some context we've put

56
00:03:38,909 --> 00:03:42,239
together here, something I think
is very interesting exit polls,

57
00:03:42,359 --> 00:03:46,289
starting in 1976. From past
Democratic presidential

58
00:03:46,289 --> 00:03:49,769
primaries. 1976 was basically
the first year that media

59
00:03:49,769 --> 00:03:53,759
outlets like NBC began
sponsoring these primary exit

60
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:55,769
polls, you know, whether it's
the New York primary, the New

61
00:03:55,769 --> 00:03:58,739
Hampshire primary, the Florida
primary. And so we have a record

62
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:01,559
that record though a lot of it
has been buried, we have been

63
00:04:01,559 --> 00:04:06,359
able to resurface we think every
primary since 1976. On the

64
00:04:06,359 --> 00:04:09,809
Democratic side, where there has
been a significant black vote in

65
00:04:09,809 --> 00:04:13,439
that primary, and where an exit
poll was conducted. We found it.

66
00:04:13,649 --> 00:04:17,069
We put it all together here. And
you get a look here at how the

67
00:04:17,069 --> 00:04:20,099
black vote has gone in each one
of these competitive Democratic

68
00:04:20,099 --> 00:04:22,319
races. And a couple of things
stand out.

69
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,370
Now that I understand exactly
what this episode is going to be

70
00:04:26,370 --> 00:04:29,850
about. I want to tell all the
listeners, they're very lucky

71
00:04:29,850 --> 00:04:34,290
you are you are going to get an
education that will make you

72
00:04:34,290 --> 00:04:38,820
smarter than anybody else, you
know, because this I think is

73
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:41,310
probably right. And I'm
surprised NBC did this. So I

74
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:44,850
can't wait to hear more. This
could be a very important

75
00:04:44,850 --> 00:04:45,270
lesson.

76
00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:53,250
And this is a very important
election. As the broadcaster

77
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:57,450
said, one out of every four
votes is going to be cast in the

78
00:04:57,450 --> 00:05:02,280
primary is going to be a black
vote. Right. We've already

79
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:06,150
spoken about the numbers in
previous episodes of how they

80
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:10,650
need around 67% turnout for
Democrats to be successful in,

81
00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:16,200
in the general election. So
they're really dependent upon

82
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:22,230
the black vote. And what this
has done is put, quote unquote,

83
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:28,740
black people in a very powerful,
powerful position to make

84
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:30,630
demands. And do

85
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,590
you think that this is well
known? Does everybody who's

86
00:05:34,590 --> 00:05:38,910
black know that this, this power
is there at this moment in town?

87
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,150
Okay. No, there is a divide of
who knows who doesn't know? Who

88
00:05:45,210 --> 00:05:50,970
is that? Who's possibly
abstaining? Who is gonna vote

89
00:05:50,970 --> 00:05:53,790
regardless. And that's what
we're going to get into it get

90
00:05:53,790 --> 00:05:57,750
into as we move throughout this
episode, because it's not a

91
00:05:57,750 --> 00:06:01,470
monolith. Even though it's a
voting bloc. It's not a

92
00:06:01,470 --> 00:06:05,070
monolith. So I know, it's a
weird thing. But

93
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,730
well, no, I mean, this people
have different ideas, different

94
00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:10,830
opinions, but it's an active
conversation.

95
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:16,440
Yes. And well, when we typically
vote, we vote in a block for one

96
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,140
party. Okay. So that is called

97
00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,180
collusion is called collusion
mode.

98
00:06:23,490 --> 00:06:33,180
Yeah. So that is so very unique
phenomenon. And I think our

99
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:39,150
listeners are gonna be very
advantaged by hearing us had

100
00:06:39,150 --> 00:06:42,690
this conversation, excellent
going into the 2020 2020

101
00:06:42,690 --> 00:06:46,140
election, because they're going
to see, as they've seen from

102
00:06:46,140 --> 00:06:49,890
previous episodes, the things
develop real time, and they were

103
00:06:49,890 --> 00:06:54,540
able to see what was going on as
it was happening. So let's just

104
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:56,430
get into number two.

105
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,150
And number one is just there is
been a slow, but steady

106
00:07:00,150 --> 00:07:02,790
progression in that time,
really, you know, 40 plus years

107
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:06,660
right now, you can point to two
really kind of specific events.

108
00:07:06,690 --> 00:07:10,290
Number one came back in the
1980s. It was the 1980s, twice

109
00:07:10,290 --> 00:07:13,920
in the 84 campaign. And again,
in the 88 campaign where Jesse

110
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,220
Jackson, the Reverend Jesse
Jackson launched full fledged

111
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:20,730
national presidential campaigns
in the Democratic primaries. And

112
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:24,450
he said in 1984, that one of his
goals in that campaign was to

113
00:07:24,450 --> 00:07:28,320
register millions of new black
voters to get them voting in the

114
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,530
Democratic primaries. And he did
you can see that in this data.

115
00:07:31,590 --> 00:07:35,310
And then you see it jump again,
about 20 years later. And that's

116
00:07:35,310 --> 00:07:38,640
when Barack Obama wins with
Brock Obama becomes president in

117
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,180
2008. And then through his
presidency, you see this kind of

118
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:45,660
sorting out of the two parties,
white working class voters, blue

119
00:07:45,660 --> 00:07:49,050
collar white voters, who had in
the past, maybe been Democrats,

120
00:07:49,050 --> 00:07:51,840
they've migrated more towards
the Republican Party and the

121
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,050
Democratic Party, the role of
black voters, the role of non

122
00:07:55,050 --> 00:07:58,410
white voters in the Democratic
Party increased from basically

123
00:07:58,830 --> 00:08:00,900
the moment that Obama became
president there.

124
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:03,720
Wow, when did this air on NBC?

125
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:12,810
This was a what they say, ah,
April may know, okay, or April

126
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:16,110
or April or May. So it was a
little while ago as we went

127
00:08:16,110 --> 00:08:20,850
under the radar. Of course. Of
course. I mean, even for me,

128
00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:23,430
because when I went in to go dig
for clips, I was like, wow, I

129
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:28,080
mean, he really broke down the
numbers. Yeah. So what we really

130
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,390
see here, we have a perfect
storm happening here. We have

131
00:08:33,390 --> 00:08:36,630
the information age of the
internet, and really the

132
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:39,750
smartphone because that was that
made information so much

133
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:44,100
accessible, where you have
people with laptops, desktops,

134
00:08:44,730 --> 00:08:47,370
people would really get on there
to do to do a lot of searching

135
00:08:47,370 --> 00:08:48,780
but now with social media.

136
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:52,529
Obama was supposed to be the
internet president, but he

137
00:08:52,529 --> 00:08:55,349
really wasn't I mean, the the
internet then when Twitter was

138
00:08:55,349 --> 00:09:00,089
around, but understanding how to
use it, and just the the force

139
00:09:00,089 --> 00:09:03,359
that social media has become and
how integrated it is with

140
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:07,559
mainstream television,
particularly cable news, which

141
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,009
flows over into print. I mean,
the machine has really built up

142
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:14,999
and so now it's a real thing.
You can use it, it's being it's

143
00:09:14,999 --> 00:09:18,779
being used, it's being abused,
and it can also eat your face

144
00:09:18,779 --> 00:09:19,139
off.

145
00:09:19,949 --> 00:09:24,419
Yeah, and a lot of information
is being shared and on Earth.

146
00:09:25,229 --> 00:09:29,099
And then the second part of that
storm was Barack Obama being

147
00:09:29,099 --> 00:09:34,019
elected in 2008 2012. Black
people felt very disenchanted

148
00:09:34,019 --> 00:09:37,409
from those eight years because
we didn't receive anything of

149
00:09:37,409 --> 00:09:41,099
substance or anything tangible
from him being an office.

150
00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:46,530
I want to stop you. The term
tangibles for people who are

151
00:09:46,530 --> 00:09:49,740
new, let's just explain that
because it's thrown around a lot

152
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,240
You said nothing tangible

153
00:09:51,450 --> 00:09:56,970
and that's something that we can
really see feel touch. Point to

154
00:09:57,030 --> 00:10:01,590
to say, Okay, we saw progress
happen What we typically

155
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:05,340
typically get from the
Democratic Party is feel good

156
00:10:05,340 --> 00:10:09,990
stories change of hope you can
believe a change you can believe

157
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:16,500
in hope. That kind of
conversation those Yes,

158
00:10:16,530 --> 00:10:20,940
conversation feel good. It was
the you know, as the is the feel

159
00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:22,020
good thing. So,

160
00:10:22,319 --> 00:10:26,639
so there was years there was
zero tangibles that Obama

161
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:28,769
brought to the black America,

162
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:33,239
zero. And as I said before, we
only expected something from the

163
00:10:33,239 --> 00:10:37,019
last term because we were
understanding of the Wink, wink,

164
00:10:37,019 --> 00:10:42,209
nod nod, you have to get make it
to the second term to really cut

165
00:10:42,209 --> 00:10:47,669
loose. When that didn't happen.
As I say very many people became

166
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:55,439
disappointed. Then you factor in
Hillary Clinton running against

167
00:10:55,439 --> 00:10:59,279
Donald Trump, Donald Trump
uttering the magical words the

168
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:02,879
black people are what do you
have to lose? That made black

169
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:07,919
people look and say, Oh, what do
we have to lose? Right? And from

170
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:13,589
there, now it's about what do we
have to gain? So that's where

171
00:11:13,589 --> 00:11:19,139
we're at right now. And it's,
it's a magical time if you're

172
00:11:19,139 --> 00:11:24,359
really into politics and and to
see a group of people who

173
00:11:24,359 --> 00:11:27,599
actually have this maturation,
politically,

174
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,190
there was a, there was a clip
circulating on on Twitter today

175
00:11:32,190 --> 00:11:38,130
from CBS much was Face the
Nation. What's the guy's name

176
00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:42,120
Garrett, Garrett, something
rather. And he's sitting there

177
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,470
saying, you know, for if you
look at what he's done for black

178
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:51,030
Americans, what he's done for
historically black colleges, he

179
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:53,460
had a whole list of a couple of
things. He said, That's

180
00:11:53,490 --> 00:11:56,250
accomplishments, any president
would want his resume. And it

181
00:11:56,250 --> 00:11:59,010
was quite stunning to hear that
on CBS.

182
00:12:00,809 --> 00:12:03,509
For the things that Donald Trump
had done for criminal justice,

183
00:12:03,689 --> 00:12:07,679
right, that was another one was
also what he's how he's engaged

184
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,579
with the HBCUs. It was because
because they were stiff arm by

185
00:12:11,579 --> 00:12:15,599
Obama, when he was in office, he
actually took them for granted

186
00:12:15,599 --> 00:12:19,859
and didn't really entertain them
at all. Oh, this is well known.

187
00:12:19,889 --> 00:12:23,579
Anybody can look it up. So yeah.
So when you have these things

188
00:12:23,579 --> 00:12:29,309
happening. And we talked about
the masculinity portion of it.

189
00:12:29,489 --> 00:12:31,379
Yeah. So yeah. And

190
00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:35,070
yes. In fact, I don't know why I
don't want to stray too much.

191
00:12:35,070 --> 00:12:38,760
But I was, I started watching
Kevin Hart's series on Netflix.

192
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,080
Have you seen this?

193
00:12:40,529 --> 00:12:43,199
No, I haven't seen it yet. But I
heard about it. And I do want

194
00:12:43,199 --> 00:12:43,259
to.

195
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,380
I mean, there's, there's some
things I don't like, but I

196
00:12:46,380 --> 00:12:50,610
really do like this guy. And at
a certain point, it's kind of a

197
00:12:50,610 --> 00:12:53,130
reality show. I mean, I
completely understand how this

198
00:12:53,130 --> 00:12:56,910
is made. And I like a lot of the
choices he's made. But he has

199
00:12:56,910 --> 00:12:59,700
this crew of guys that he came
and kind of came up with from

200
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,500
and poor. And they talk openly
about, you know, how none of

201
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:07,050
them had a dad and how their
their brotherhood and they got

202
00:13:07,050 --> 00:13:10,230
to watch out for each other. And
you can just see that energy,

203
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:13,650
and you can see how easily that
is tapped into with a guy like

204
00:13:13,650 --> 00:13:14,070
Trump.

205
00:13:15,389 --> 00:13:19,199
Yeah, so it's it's several
things that we know Trump was

206
00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:23,159
recognized for this the
masculine important portion of

207
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:27,239
it to black men, that it's just
like I said, What a time to be

208
00:13:27,239 --> 00:13:27,689
alive.

209
00:13:27,809 --> 00:13:33,029
Oh, hallelujah. Oh, what a time
to be a podcast or Mo.

210
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:40,320
Oh, so let's get into part.
Let's get to part three of the

211
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,219
next clip. All there. As we head
into 2020 I think you will see

212
00:13:44,219 --> 00:13:47,489
the story there has been sort of
that rising tide in the

213
00:13:47,489 --> 00:13:50,609
Democratic Party when it comes
to the size, the clout the

214
00:13:50,609 --> 00:13:53,879
power, the role of the black
vote in Democratic presidential

215
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:57,389
primaries in 2020, it'll
probably be more important than

216
00:13:57,389 --> 00:13:59,279
we have seen to date. Okay, let

217
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,630
me identify the the dog whistle
here was the rising tide, the

218
00:14:03,630 --> 00:14:06,780
rising tide that rises all
boats, which I think is no

219
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:07,830
longer believed.

220
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:11,610
He just forced it in there
because he was he was used out

221
00:14:11,610 --> 00:14:15,210
of context. So he just kind of
what's your net win in there?

222
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:16,649
So what was the point of that?

223
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:20,400
It was it was no point. It was
just like, you know, let's just

224
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,540
squeeze a meme in here.

225
00:14:23,009 --> 00:14:25,499
Just trying to feel the time to
hit the top of the hour. Okay, I

226
00:14:25,499 --> 00:14:25,919
got it.

227
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:31,290
Yeah. People, anybody out there
is listening and working a

228
00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:35,940
foreign near or any political
party, do not use the term

229
00:14:36,090 --> 00:14:42,300
rising tie. falls flat. It does
not work anymore. That was a

230
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,940
20th century mean 21st century
it has the complete opposite

231
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:48,360
effect.

232
00:14:48,450 --> 00:14:50,970
I mean, it might come back, you
know, in another 10 years, like

233
00:14:50,970 --> 00:14:52,770
bell bottoms, but we'll see.

234
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,280
So, you had you asked the
question about the divides and

235
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,540
who's gonna Vote who's not going
to vote. So one of the devices

236
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:07,290
we discussed numerous times in
the show is between men and

237
00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:11,460
women. But the one that really
hasn't been discussed is the age

238
00:15:11,460 --> 00:15:16,770
group. And the difference
between the black Boomer row and

239
00:15:16,770 --> 00:15:18,330
the black millennial vote.

240
00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:22,290
Oh, okay, this is happening.

241
00:15:23,429 --> 00:15:27,029
This is a real phenomenon. And
let's get Can

242
00:15:27,029 --> 00:15:30,299
I just need to say something?
Honestly, yes. I just realized

243
00:15:30,299 --> 00:15:33,629
that. When I think of black
Americans, I never really

244
00:15:33,629 --> 00:15:37,889
thought about black boomers and
black millennials. And it sounds

245
00:15:37,889 --> 00:15:41,069
horrible, but I'm just like, I
never thought of it that way.

246
00:15:41,069 --> 00:15:44,339
Yeah, of course. You got shitty
millennials. And you got stupid

247
00:15:44,339 --> 00:15:44,819
boomers,

248
00:15:44,850 --> 00:15:50,610
I guess. And it's, it's a real
divide, because it's a little

249
00:15:50,610 --> 00:15:54,690
inside baseball before we get to
the next clip. The millennials,

250
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,020
and not all but some of the
millennials and some of the Gen

251
00:15:58,020 --> 00:16:05,490
Xers feel like the boomers did
very little with the things that

252
00:16:05,490 --> 00:16:07,710
they were given or the
opportunities that were given.

253
00:16:07,950 --> 00:16:11,760
They think they were sold a bill
of goods because integration.

254
00:16:12,270 --> 00:16:17,970
Integration is not really seen
as CS accessible as you would

255
00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:22,410
think it will be. No, it's
actually seen as somewhat as a

256
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:27,570
as a as a detriment to some
people and are so a quote

257
00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:30,480
unquote, community. Wow. So
there is a huge divide there

258
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,580
between the black millennial Gen
X or in the boomers. Okay. So

259
00:16:35,610 --> 00:16:37,560
Black millennial won. In

260
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:41,039
2016, millennial turnout
increased for nearly every

261
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:45,299
racial group, except for black
millennials. Pew Research found

262
00:16:45,329 --> 00:16:49,109
White, Asian and Hispanic
Millennials turned out at higher

263
00:16:49,109 --> 00:16:52,889
rates than they did in 2012.
Whack millennial turnout, on the

264
00:16:52,889 --> 00:16:57,029
other hand, fell by nearly five
points. That could present a

265
00:16:57,029 --> 00:17:00,389
problem for Democrats, many of
whom view black Millennials as

266
00:17:00,389 --> 00:17:04,349
the future of the party. In an
Axios interview last weekend,

267
00:17:04,379 --> 00:17:07,709
the president of the racial
justice group Color of Change,

268
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:11,729
raised concerns that Republicans
are aiming to win support from a

269
00:17:11,729 --> 00:17:15,299
traditionally Democratic subset
of voters. He said, quote,

270
00:17:15,719 --> 00:17:18,659
President Trump's campaign is
handing out literature and black

271
00:17:18,659 --> 00:17:21,989
barbershops right now, they're
doing micro targeting on

272
00:17:21,989 --> 00:17:25,979
Facebook and have a digital
strategy to engage black folks.

273
00:17:26,249 --> 00:17:29,069
The Democrats would serve
themselves really well to

274
00:17:29,069 --> 00:17:33,419
understand in deep ways, the
power in intersectionality being

275
00:17:33,419 --> 00:17:37,109
specific and clear, will help
people understand you're not

276
00:17:37,109 --> 00:17:40,679
just talking around them or at
them, but talking to them

277
00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:50,130
the most okay, I'm looking at
Color of Change now. Huh? Who

278
00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:51,390
runs this outfit?

279
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:56,610
That is worn Mr. Van Jones. Ah,

280
00:17:56,610 --> 00:18:00,240
that's who that is. Okay. I
don't I don't dislike him.

281
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,990
Actually. I don't dislike van.
He's just kind of. He's

282
00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:05,820
entertaining though. He's full
of crap.

283
00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:09,360
He's entertaining. But he's
opportunities. Yeah, major

284
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:13,110
opportunities. But he sells
himself as a radical in that.

285
00:18:13,710 --> 00:18:17,370
Yeah. Oh, poo. Right. change
maker. You know, I mean, look at

286
00:18:17,370 --> 00:18:21,360
this name to color change.
Slightly muddy brown.

287
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,850
Well, can't blame them. It's
kind of good. The Logos cool.

288
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,610
And he's got something going on
there. Okay. All right. I'll put

289
00:18:29,610 --> 00:18:31,620
it in the show notes have to
investigate that later.

290
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,820
So what we heard here is the
millennial black millennial

291
00:18:35,850 --> 00:18:37,560
numbers are down. Yeah.

292
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:38,310
Woodrow.

293
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:47,010
We seen the Blau Black Lives
Matter go after Hillary Clinton

294
00:18:47,010 --> 00:18:51,180
in 2016. Right. I think that was
a crack in the dam. That was

295
00:18:51,180 --> 00:18:54,090
the behind the behind the stage
conversation. They had that one.

296
00:18:54,090 --> 00:18:55,380
Yeah. Yeah, I remember that.

297
00:18:55,620 --> 00:18:58,800
When they may her knowledge
Black Lives Matter and the name

298
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,850
I think they had a meeting with
right direction, right? That's

299
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:07,350
it right? So you have it from a
bunch of different angles. You

300
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:11,400
have like the black super woke,
black Millennials saying hey, we

301
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,530
want a progressive candidate. So
now you can't run a run of the

302
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:24,540
mill, Joe Biden. Kamala Harris,
Booker, those guys won't get it.

303
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:28,830
So they're willing to lean
towards more or you're Bernie

304
00:19:28,830 --> 00:19:33,480
Sanders. Maybe Elizabeth Warren,
but she has some issues of hers

305
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,910
and she's Native American that
didn't really sit well the

306
00:19:35,910 --> 00:19:37,440
works. So

307
00:19:38,550 --> 00:19:42,270
is it also possible that all
millennials in general are

308
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:46,020
disengaging because they're so
tired of the boring show?

309
00:19:47,610 --> 00:19:53,340
That could be a possibility but
as the last could we play said

310
00:19:53,370 --> 00:19:55,500
all the other millennial numbers
are up.

311
00:19:56,850 --> 00:19:59,490
Okay, so you have to trust those
numbers then.

312
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,990
Yeah. We all have to take them
at face value. But that's just

313
00:20:04,020 --> 00:20:05,580
that goes to show you so

314
00:20:05,610 --> 00:20:09,540
okay with that baseline, yeah,
Houston, we have a problem. We

315
00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:12,300
have a huge problem and now
we're starting to get to where

316
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:17,460
that so we went from 67 to 59.
We're starting to see where this

317
00:20:17,490 --> 00:20:24,900
8% drop is coming from. And it's
really the younger voters. So

318
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:28,140
let's go into black millennial
to Orisha hatch

319
00:20:28,140 --> 00:20:32,490
joins me now she is the managing
director of campaigns for Color

320
00:20:32,490 --> 00:20:35,910
of Change Orisha, thanks so much
for being with us. Thanks for

321
00:20:35,910 --> 00:20:39,270
having me. So what should
Democrats be doing in order to

322
00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:41,580
win the support of young black
voters?

323
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:46,050
Democrats can do a lot of
things. I think in this election

324
00:20:46,050 --> 00:20:49,710
cycle, specifically, black
voters and black Millennials

325
00:20:49,710 --> 00:20:53,250
want to hear Democratic
candidates speaking explicitly

326
00:20:53,250 --> 00:20:57,600
to black voters, and explicitly
about policy proposals and

327
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,460
agendas that actually help to
not only reduce mass

328
00:21:02,460 --> 00:21:06,630
incarceration and discriminatory
discriminatory policing, but

329
00:21:06,630 --> 00:21:10,980
also that are working to address
the racial wealth wealth gap

330
00:21:10,980 --> 00:21:12,030
that many of us face.

331
00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:15,450
The racial wealth gap.

332
00:21:16,290 --> 00:21:22,500
This is the whole point of
reparations. Here we go. This is

333
00:21:22,530 --> 00:21:29,010
the that's the that's the
politically safe way of saying

334
00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:29,910
reparations.

335
00:21:31,980 --> 00:21:33,390
The racial

336
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,010
wealth gap

337
00:21:35,070 --> 00:21:37,740
I like Why have I not heard
this?

338
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:45,150
So who's made this a big issue
is the A das founders tone talks

339
00:21:45,180 --> 00:21:48,720
and event Karnail?

340
00:21:48,750 --> 00:21:52,560
Interesting, because the first
the first hit on and I do Google

341
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,180
for this show, is an article
from Forbes. The second is from

342
00:21:57,180 --> 00:22:02,820
the New York Times, and then
article from Duke. And then the

343
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:05,640
Ford Foundation is this is an
interesting, interesting little

344
00:22:05,670 --> 00:22:08,460
topic we got here. Okay, good.
So

345
00:22:08,850 --> 00:22:12,000
why should racial wealth gap we
might that might needs to be a

346
00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:14,760
whole nother show in itself,
because so fascinating. But

347
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:21,900
that's the that's the gap
between the net well,

348
00:22:21,930 --> 00:22:26,130
so it's not just, it's not just
radical move the podcaster who's

349
00:22:26,130 --> 00:22:31,050
saying this stuff. It's the it's
the millennials, it's it's a lot

350
00:22:31,050 --> 00:22:31,920
deeper than we know,

351
00:22:32,550 --> 00:22:37,080
for its surface very deep. But
the Democrats have tried to push

352
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,470
it down. Yes. And not
acknowledge it, because they

353
00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:48,480
know is a huge problem for them.
It's a major problem. Even the

354
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,290
last speaker, she said they want
now this is where

355
00:22:52,290 --> 00:22:55,890
intersectionality doesn't work,
because she said black and black

356
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,970
Millennials want things targeted
Pacific specifically for them,

357
00:23:00,060 --> 00:23:03,930
right? That's not interested.
That's not intersectionality.

358
00:23:03,930 --> 00:23:10,440
No, that's, we want something.
No rising tide, none of that

359
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,980
bullcrap, what are you going to
trade me for my vote is to even

360
00:23:13,980 --> 00:23:18,810
exchange and this is how
politics works. Is that day is

361
00:23:18,810 --> 00:23:23,130
over. It's over. So the
Democrats is going to have to

362
00:23:23,130 --> 00:23:26,100
come up with a new strategy. And
I just don't think they had they

363
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,770
better hurry up. It's just
running out of time.

364
00:23:31,470 --> 00:23:37,560
And and you have one Mr. Donald
Trump. I'll say this before I

365
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,840
said it before, I'll say it
again. We don't know what we're

366
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:46,410
going to get out of 2020 Donald
Trump if he wins? No, he's not

367
00:23:46,410 --> 00:23:49,500
beholding to his base anymore.
We see he's done things in the

368
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:53,490
background, by criminal justice
reform things that you mentioned

369
00:23:53,490 --> 00:23:59,940
previously. So what would he
really do to really change? How

370
00:23:59,940 --> 00:24:03,000
he's perceived? And I'm not
saying about any parties or

371
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,770
anything, but I think he would
do something to to repair his

372
00:24:07,770 --> 00:24:10,590
image. I really do

373
00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:14,220
you think Trump could come up
with a reparations Gambit?

374
00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:17,670
I think he would could do
something tangible. I wouldn't

375
00:24:17,670 --> 00:24:21,630
say go for his reparations but
you can do anything tangible

376
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:27,870
which I'm so I understand how
would that how would that how

377
00:24:27,870 --> 00:24:32,040
would that stone caught what
what ripples in the political

378
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:32,910
sphere?

379
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,240
It would, it would cause an
incredible brain freeze because

380
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:43,230
he's racist. That makes no sense
that the kk k literally Hitler

381
00:24:43,230 --> 00:24:44,040
does this.

382
00:24:44,790 --> 00:24:49,440
Yes. That was good people on
both sides.

383
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:54,360
Fine people, fine people,
people, people.

384
00:24:56,130 --> 00:25:00,000
I think we left off it too.
Yeah. So let's go on to black

385
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,900
I'm a level three,

386
00:25:01,230 --> 00:25:04,380
and will Color of Change be
endorsing a presidential

387
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:05,940
candidate this election cycle,

388
00:25:06,930 --> 00:25:09,720
we're still undecided about
whether to endorse a candidate.

389
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,520
It's a very wide field, we
fundamentally believe that any

390
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,720
candidate that Democrats will
select will be better than

391
00:25:18,810 --> 00:25:22,230
President Donald Trump. And so
what we're doing is really

392
00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:26,280
focused on talking and engaging
black voters, black millennial

393
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,270
voters, especially many of whom
are not even engaged by the

394
00:25:30,270 --> 00:25:34,800
candidates or the campaigns,
trying to expand the black

395
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,880
electorate the cycle.

396
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,270
Oh, I see the problem. You just
have to talk like this, and then

397
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:41,940
that will appeal to the black
millennials.

398
00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:47,520
Yeah. Let me get this straight.
So the candidates haven't

399
00:25:47,550 --> 00:25:55,230
engaged. The voter. You want to
talk to the voter? How does that

400
00:25:55,230 --> 00:25:55,590
work?

401
00:25:56,100 --> 00:26:00,390
I mean, first of all, who was
she again? Where she from? Oh,

402
00:26:00,390 --> 00:26:02,580
yeah, the color, color colors
change,

403
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,580
color change. She's their
spokesperson is just a

404
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:06,390
word salad.

405
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:12,450
You're saying? She is, but it's
certain words she won't use and

406
00:26:12,450 --> 00:26:15,240
that's a little foreshadowing.
Next couple. Next couple of

407
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,120
clips. But I'm asking I'll ask
this question again. And people

408
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:23,070
didn't think about this.
Candidates are not engaging with

409
00:26:23,070 --> 00:26:28,470
the voter. And your target is to
talk to the voter to say what be

410
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,420
okay with not being engaged.

411
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,090
Exactly. Sounds like a strategy

412
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,030
that she needs to talk to the
candidates to help them engage

413
00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:47,580
the voters know. We're going to
target the voters. That's a head

414
00:26:47,580 --> 00:26:50,370
scratcher. All right.

415
00:26:50,370 --> 00:26:53,310
So there's, there's money
running around. There's this

416
00:26:53,310 --> 00:26:57,240
operation. That's the head
scratcher. That's like, how does

417
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,590
that work? That's cool.

418
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,100
It's given me a lot. It's what's
that? What's the word? Where's

419
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,440
the word with this podcast when
it comes to the black voting?

420
00:27:08,340 --> 00:27:09,600
Activate?

421
00:27:09,630 --> 00:27:12,510
Oh, of course, activate. Yep.
And that's

422
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,560
the one that's what she told me
engage. She didn't using gay she

423
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,760
didn't use activate. But that's
what she said engaging. You go

424
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,150
activate the voter not changed
the candidate not talk to them

425
00:27:24,150 --> 00:27:28,350
about policies that could
motivate the voter. You go

426
00:27:28,350 --> 00:27:37,110
activate the voter. So Black
millennial for?

427
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,360
Yeah. Are there any candidates
specifically, so far that you

428
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:46,410
think are actually doing a good
job in connecting with young

429
00:27:46,410 --> 00:27:48,060
black voters in particular?

430
00:27:48,660 --> 00:27:51,930
Well, we've definitely seen
strides made in the last

431
00:27:51,930 --> 00:27:54,660
election presidential election
cycle, it was enough for a

432
00:27:54,660 --> 00:27:58,290
Democratic candidate just to say
black lives matter. What folks

433
00:27:58,290 --> 00:28:02,370
are really looking for this
cycle is more depth, a plan and

434
00:28:02,370 --> 00:28:06,960
a policy agenda that actually
moves beyond just criminal

435
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,590
justice reform, and addresses
some of the economic justice

436
00:28:10,590 --> 00:28:14,790
concerns that we have. And so
there are a number of candidates

437
00:28:14,790 --> 00:28:18,630
that we believe are taking that
seriously. Mayor Pete with his

438
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:24,000
Douglass plan. Senator Warren
has been talking specifically

439
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,750
about income inequality, and
problems with housing

440
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:31,590
gentrification, that we think
are very important to black

441
00:28:31,590 --> 00:28:35,730
voters. Senator Booker, even
Marianne Williamson on the

442
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,990
democratic national debate
stage, has been really proposing

443
00:28:39,990 --> 00:28:43,170
solutions that black folks want
to hear.

444
00:28:43,620 --> 00:28:46,920
Okay. I had not heard of the
Douglass plan yet.

445
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,250
Yes. So that's a male peaks.

446
00:28:52,770 --> 00:28:54,300
It's very inside baseball.

447
00:28:55,410 --> 00:29:00,090
Right? I watch that clip. That's
not from me. That is not from

448
00:29:00,090 --> 00:29:02,520
me. That's what Young Turks

449
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,830
The Young Turks was it must have
been,

450
00:29:05,340 --> 00:29:07,980
I think it's called that isn't
the crawl or what is the thing

451
00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:08,370
called

452
00:29:08,370 --> 00:29:10,080
the lower third, Lower Third,

453
00:29:10,110 --> 00:29:14,310
the lower third, they actually
had and I sent it screenshot to

454
00:29:14,370 --> 00:29:19,320
Adam for verification, actually
called the man mail.

455
00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:24,840
The our was a misspelling, we
think?

456
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:33,600
No. They hate that. They hate
pee over there.

457
00:29:33,989 --> 00:29:36,629
That that's pretty racist.

458
00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:41,550
Very, very, very good. But I'm
just showing you hilarious

459
00:29:41,550 --> 00:29:41,880
though.

460
00:29:42,479 --> 00:29:49,019
Once again, liberals, they will
use racist terms before they use

461
00:29:49,049 --> 00:29:53,339
the Koon. Yay. And now they're
attacking Pete. With the mayo

462
00:29:53,339 --> 00:29:53,669
Pete.

463
00:29:53,699 --> 00:29:56,069
You know, we're recording this
in the evening. For the first

464
00:29:56,069 --> 00:29:58,559
time in the history of the show.
I think we're a great late night

465
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:01,199
show mo we could be live coast
to coast with this. This is

466
00:30:01,199 --> 00:30:05,939
hilarious. Let me read, clear
read Pete from Pete for America.

467
00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:09,509
This is the Douglass plan with a
double S, the decisions we make

468
00:30:09,509 --> 00:30:11,579
the next four years will
determine America's path for the

469
00:30:11,579 --> 00:30:14,729
next 40. And a great deal of the
progress he make on everything

470
00:30:14,729 --> 00:30:17,729
from increasing economic freedom
to confronting climate

471
00:30:18,089 --> 00:30:21,029
disruption will depend on
whether we tackle racially

472
00:30:21,089 --> 00:30:24,719
racial inequality in our
lifetime. For all our countries

473
00:30:24,719 --> 00:30:28,589
forward movement, black people
capital B in America are still

474
00:30:28,589 --> 00:30:32,129
disproportionately excluded from
systems of social protection,

475
00:30:32,309 --> 00:30:36,809
economic uplift, Lou, I think I
think that's kind of that comes

476
00:30:36,809 --> 00:30:41,519
close to the rising tide and and
representative democracy while

477
00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:46,799
facing shorter lifespans, lower
educational attainment and

478
00:30:46,799 --> 00:30:50,459
dramatic over criminalization
and incarceration compared to

479
00:30:50,459 --> 00:30:56,759
their white counterparts. And,
and so this plan is inspired on

480
00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:02,639
Frederick Douglass and
comparable in scale to the

481
00:31:02,639 --> 00:31:06,479
Marshall Plan. Sounds like
reparations to me.

482
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:16,110
Maybe but the problem that Mayor
Pete has, he's no good. You use

483
00:31:16,770 --> 00:31:20,130
besides not me, but you saw you
saw how they came after him.

484
00:31:20,550 --> 00:31:27,720
Over the what was the article
from the root MF for or got the

485
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,680
title? Yeah, I mean, no, no,
he's no good.

486
00:31:32,010 --> 00:31:37,380
He's what? He's also known as
Wall Street Pete I mean, the guy

487
00:31:37,380 --> 00:31:41,850
definitely. He's, he's faced, as
far as I understand. He is a

488
00:31:41,850 --> 00:31:45,240
candidate has flown on more
private aircraft than anyone

489
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,330
else. And yet, and so he's not
paying for out of his own

490
00:31:48,330 --> 00:31:53,340
pocket. And he's a Rhodes
Scholar. In addition, I think

491
00:31:53,340 --> 00:31:56,790
he's a spook. I think he's the
CIA candidate. I really do.

492
00:31:57,570 --> 00:32:00,150
Yeah, he's meeting me wine
cellars. It's like, what what

493
00:32:00,150 --> 00:32:01,350
are you doing to beat me?

494
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:05,640
That's what I mean. It's like,
where's my invite Pete? Alright,

495
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,180
mayo.

496
00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:10,500
So she, she brought up Mary and
weaves. And we talked about Miss

497
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:14,310
Mary Ann on the show before.
Yep. And she said, her

498
00:32:14,310 --> 00:32:21,540
solutions, boom. Interesting
word to say solutions. I wonder

499
00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:26,190
what word you were avoiding to
say? Let millennial farm?

500
00:32:26,489 --> 00:32:29,159
You know, I'm curious on that
last point, because she was

501
00:32:29,159 --> 00:32:32,999
someone that did get quite a bit
of attention when talking about

502
00:32:32,999 --> 00:32:36,659
the issue of reparations
specifically, is that what

503
00:32:36,659 --> 00:32:39,119
you're referencing when you talk
about Marianne Williamson?

504
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,190
Nice? Yes, we can. We saw from
the debate stage that a lot of

505
00:32:44,190 --> 00:32:47,700
the work that movements have
done over the past several years

506
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:51,240
have entered into the debate.
And so yes, black voters and

507
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,470
black millennials, especially,
are looking for candidates that

508
00:32:55,470 --> 00:33:00,510
speak explicitly to closing the
black income gap, the black

509
00:33:00,510 --> 00:33:04,530
wealth gap. And so folks have
been at least in movement spaces

510
00:33:04,530 --> 00:33:08,520
really excited to see that
specific issue raised, raised to

511
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,140
a national profile this
election.

512
00:33:11,370 --> 00:33:14,040
was the last time you were in
one of the movement spaces.

513
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,990
And she really didn't want to
say that the R word.

514
00:33:19,020 --> 00:33:21,480
No, of course not. She just said
a whole bunch of stuff.

515
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:25,650
She rehearsed that solutions.
Yeah. Mary Ann has solutions. I

516
00:33:25,650 --> 00:33:26,070
mean,

517
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:29,130
I'm Marianne Williamson who and
I don't know if she's still

518
00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:34,740
running, and I don't think she's
officially dropped. I like her,

519
00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:37,200
you know, I liked a lot of what
she said and she didn't quite

520
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,200
get there. But she put a number
on the table, you know, $400

521
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:40,500
million.

522
00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:44,670
Use the word. She used the word

523
00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:46,980
but then you know, then she was
kind of like and then we need a

524
00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:50,070
committee and it's like, wow,
wow.

525
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,540
I give credit where credit's due
she did use the word Michelle

526
00:33:54,540 --> 00:33:59,400
unabashedly. She pushed back
against Don Lemon when he was

527
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,340
like how do you get how you
calculate that number

528
00:34:02,370 --> 00:34:05,910
but from a from a from a
television and advertising

529
00:34:05,910 --> 00:34:09,210
executive standpoint, once you
did the talking in tongues in

530
00:34:09,210 --> 00:34:10,800
the church it was all over for

531
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:20,550
they could use that for great
ratings though. That would spice

532
00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:20,760
up

533
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,800
the show. The show? No. No it
because they wanted to get rid

534
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,740
of her so bad in particular Fox
News which I don't understand

535
00:34:28,740 --> 00:34:32,370
why because I think she's
interesting. They were like, oh,

536
00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:35,790
it looks crazy. And then you
know, MSNBC. Oh, what's going on

537
00:34:35,790 --> 00:34:39,450
here the Marianas crazy. You
created a bit crazy. And that

538
00:34:39,450 --> 00:34:39,660
was

539
00:34:40,380 --> 00:34:43,500
she's talking about reparations
and giving cash. You know, like,

540
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:46,500
we got to get her out of here
but she got that's but if you

541
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:47,490
look at look, if you look

542
00:34:47,489 --> 00:34:50,909
at survivor or Big Brother, you
gotta have one crazy one. You

543
00:34:50,909 --> 00:34:53,849
got to keep them around for a
bit. You don't kick them off the

544
00:34:53,849 --> 00:34:55,049
island right away.

545
00:34:55,860 --> 00:35:01,500
If you talk in that crazy, you
gotta go okay. cuz she was

546
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:06,330
pulled a new way to the dark
side planning to do this. Oh,

547
00:35:07,050 --> 00:35:10,290
true. They were like, no, no,
we're talking about Yeah, you

548
00:35:10,290 --> 00:35:15,150
can't be doing you can't be
doing that. We will have a

549
00:35:15,150 --> 00:35:18,060
meeting for our meeting, which
would that's what HR 40 was,

550
00:35:18,390 --> 00:35:20,340
what got my meeting? That's
about a meeting.

551
00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:24,660
Whatever came out of that HR 41.
We were supposed to have the

552
00:35:24,660 --> 00:35:26,010
next meeting. And where

553
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:29,700
you tell me, you tell me, Adam,

554
00:35:30,510 --> 00:35:33,120
I don't know impeachment, Trump,
but that's all I know.

555
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,780
So, now we're going out to black
voters are a central part of the

556
00:35:39,780 --> 00:35:44,490
Democratic primary. This is
MSNBC. And this is our from the

557
00:35:44,490 --> 00:35:48,660
roots. Jason Johnson.

558
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,230
Oh, well, Biden is comfortable.
Biden is someone that people

559
00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:54,870
know and also and I've I've done
it a lot these numbers myself, a

560
00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:58,170
lot of this is about age. Older
black voters love them some Joe

561
00:35:58,170 --> 00:36:00,660
Biden because they're like,
Okay, he was with Barack Obama.

562
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:04,260
And all we want is Trump out of
office, the younger voters,

563
00:36:04,620 --> 00:36:05,160
millennials.

564
00:36:05,490 --> 00:36:09,600
Is that how older black people
talk? Mo that's the I love me

565
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,870
some Joe Biden is that literally
a caricature? This guy is doing

566
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:17,940
just fine. It was NBC,

567
00:36:19,170 --> 00:36:21,270
like Fred Sanford, all of a
sudden, okay.

568
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:25,140
Well, we want his trump out of
office, the younger voters,

569
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:28,470
millennials, and Generation X,
like myself, often wants

570
00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:30,870
something more often don't think
that Joe Biden is going to be

571
00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:32,970
transformative enough. And so
the issue that he's going to

572
00:36:32,970 --> 00:36:36,120
have is sort of the reverse of
Bernie Sanders and 2016, Bernie

573
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,520
Sanders got young black voters
couldn't get anybody over the

574
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,760
age of 30. Right. Basically, Joe
Biden's got to figure out a way

575
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,240
to get younger African Americans
to believe in Him to understand

576
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:48,360
that he's made changes since the
1994 crime bill. And then he

577
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,370
actually has to have a
comprehensive on the ground

578
00:36:50,370 --> 00:36:52,680
plan, which very few people
except for Cory Booker talked

579
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,230
about, of how you're going to
fight voter suppression, because

580
00:36:55,260 --> 00:36:58,140
even if you've got black people
supporting you, if they can't

581
00:36:58,140 --> 00:37:00,870
get to the polls, or their votes
don't count, you're not going to

582
00:37:00,870 --> 00:37:03,240
be successful. And that's
something that I think if you've

583
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:05,850
got 53% of African Americans
saying we support you, you

584
00:37:05,850 --> 00:37:08,220
should try and find a way for
them to actually get their cast

585
00:37:08,220 --> 00:37:10,470
a vote. Okay,

586
00:37:10,829 --> 00:37:14,579
do we get to talk about this for
a second about the black voter

587
00:37:14,579 --> 00:37:15,359
suppression?

588
00:37:18,540 --> 00:37:21,840
No, not really. Because I to be
honest with you, that's so low

589
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,430
on the list. I mean, it's really
isn't a real thing, MO. Because

590
00:37:26,430 --> 00:37:30,930
of voter ID driver's license.
Yes. You know, we as black

591
00:37:30,930 --> 00:37:34,440
folks, we have trouble getting
driver's license our IDs.

592
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,800
This is true. That's not true.

593
00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:41,850
No, no, that's not true. But now
the meme. That's the that's the

594
00:37:41,850 --> 00:37:45,900
meme. Yeah, you know, when they
have problems getting IDs, it's

595
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:46,110
like

596
00:37:48,750 --> 00:37:57,930
it's so insulting. How come? I
never hear any black person say,

597
00:37:58,349 --> 00:38:02,759
That's stupid? That's insulting.
They don't give us the mic.

598
00:38:02,879 --> 00:38:06,239
You're hearing it now that you
give me a $27. Mic. Now you're

599
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:06,659
hearing me.

600
00:38:07,890 --> 00:38:10,020
And you know, buddy, sounds like
a $30. Mic.

601
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:12,390
And no macular

602
00:38:14,010 --> 00:38:17,400
onward. Okay. Okay. No, I'll
just set it straight. Because we

603
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,740
know no one ever stops and
mentions that. And so what is

604
00:38:19,740 --> 00:38:24,090
this voter suppression? And it's
literally, it's literally Well,

605
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,570
you know, it's hard for them to
determine if you have voter ID

606
00:38:27,570 --> 00:38:29,430
laws that suppression like,
okay.

607
00:38:30,270 --> 00:38:35,940
Just for a little background,
Mr. Jason. I keep Jason Johnson.

608
00:38:36,090 --> 00:38:39,630
He was he was one of the he
found the root. And he was one

609
00:38:39,630 --> 00:38:43,890
of the Russian botters. Just to
give you context, he was a

610
00:38:43,890 --> 00:38:47,370
Russian bot. Okay, I guess. So.
This is why you This is why

611
00:38:47,370 --> 00:38:51,930
you're here. These people are
when you see them on MSNBC or

612
00:38:51,930 --> 00:38:57,240
NBC or whatever, major outlet.
They are toeing the party line.

613
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,150
No kidding. Go talk to the
voter.

614
00:39:00,180 --> 00:39:02,520
He's a professor to the
candidate. He's a professor of

615
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:03,750
political science.

616
00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:09,120
They will always slip to go to
Eclipse to go go talk to the

617
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,180
voter, not talk to the
candidate. I mean, we do we see

618
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:19,200
what's going on here. We do. So
yeah, so is of the same ilk. Is

619
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,620
this next lady? I didn't get her
name, I think is Donna. Yeah,

620
00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:25,530
I mean, this is where you come
to this question of younger

621
00:39:25,530 --> 00:39:28,800
voters who really think in terms
of intersections, they don't

622
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,650
just think about, you know, sort
of Where's the guy who's been

623
00:39:31,650 --> 00:39:35,820
with a black guy. And and I
think that that provides an

624
00:39:35,820 --> 00:39:39,780
opportunity for a lot of the
other candidates to eat in there

625
00:39:39,780 --> 00:39:42,810
and turn that vote out. I mean,
that that vote basically didn't

626
00:39:42,810 --> 00:39:46,980
really show up in 2016. And this
is a real opportunity. And the

627
00:39:46,980 --> 00:39:49,890
other thing is, you know, for
Joe Biden, he's going to start

628
00:39:49,890 --> 00:39:53,100
looking at what he's doing and
saying, What am I going to do to

629
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:56,220
try to energize and galvanize
this vote but I look at some of

630
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:59,340
these candidates who are putting
out proposals that will be

631
00:39:59,370 --> 00:40:03,840
really appealing to that, those
younger voters and so I see that

632
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,640
as an opportunity to to grow.
And you know

633
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,280
when when Donna says those
voters stayed home in 2016, the

634
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,660
consequences of staying home in
2016 was Donald Trump. And I

635
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:15,300
think that this is again another
indication of voters being

636
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,570
realistic about the consequences
of not using their vote

637
00:40:18,570 --> 00:40:19,080
properly.

638
00:40:22,889 --> 00:40:27,389
You know what? I have an idea
Joe will attract the young black

639
00:40:27,389 --> 00:40:30,779
Millennials by calling it the
mullah. No malarkey tour.

640
00:40:31,229 --> 00:40:34,109
That'll work. Joe,

641
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:38,789
Joe has his berrio Boomer does
tell me what he's struggling

642
00:40:38,789 --> 00:40:44,519
with IE struggling with the
millennials. No, it is. And and

643
00:40:44,519 --> 00:40:48,119
Bernie Sanders me he has the
black millennial vote. They

644
00:40:48,359 --> 00:40:54,449
obviously they love Bernie
Sanders. I mean, he's a icon or,

645
00:40:55,019 --> 00:41:02,339
or, you know, this ideal
candidate for for what they

646
00:41:02,339 --> 00:41:03,269
believe. Well, if

647
00:41:03,329 --> 00:41:06,209
he's promising a lot of free
stuff, that's always good.

648
00:41:06,990 --> 00:41:11,550
Yes. Free stuff. He always is a
good thing. But what about what

649
00:41:11,550 --> 00:41:12,900
about these back? Andrew

650
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:15,120
Yang is got something really
tangible.

651
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:20,310
I mean, for everybody? $1,000 a
month? Yes. That math problem,

652
00:41:20,340 --> 00:41:20,700
sir.

653
00:41:22,650 --> 00:41:24,870
I mean, how to pay for it. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.

654
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,010
So, yeah. And, and they don't
like it. I don't know why they

655
00:41:29,010 --> 00:41:35,610
don't like Yang. I really don't.
I mean, he seems like he seems

656
00:41:35,610 --> 00:41:39,810
like a good candidate to get
behind. But they want to push

657
00:41:39,810 --> 00:41:43,290
Biden. Yeah. No, no, no. I mean,
he's, he's no good for the

658
00:41:43,290 --> 00:41:47,160
party. He's just now No, no, no.
If you don't think so? No, I

659
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,250
don't know if the party doesn't
want him. No, no, no, no. He's

660
00:41:50,250 --> 00:41:54,780
Sneaky. Sneaky, still snow
Silicon Valley. Sneaky. And

661
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:59,610
ALCAR. By and by sneaky. I mean,
he wants a value added tax. And

662
00:41:59,610 --> 00:42:03,330
he says we can do half what
Europe is okay. Europe is 21%

663
00:42:03,330 --> 00:42:06,660
for everything you buy in the
store at 21%. To that, and

664
00:42:06,660 --> 00:42:08,820
you're going to pay for that
right then and there. Because

665
00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:12,840
well, we can do with half. Yeah,
I know. I remember when value

666
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,680
added tax was 12%. In Europe,
and then I remember when it was

667
00:42:17,250 --> 00:42:24,510
15 and 1718, then 18 and 19. And
now 21. So now

668
00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:26,160
that's why I love doing the show
with you.

669
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,940
It's sneaky. It's it's sneaky.
So that's, that's not gonna

670
00:42:29,940 --> 00:42:30,060
hurt.

671
00:42:30,060 --> 00:42:33,360
So he had the same problem now.
Elizabeth Warren Harris has,

672
00:42:33,660 --> 00:42:34,170
yeah, but she,

673
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:39,090
she just, you know, he's easily
says it. And Elizabeth Warren,

674
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,210
he's like, No, I'm not going to
tell you about the tax part.

675
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:45,300
Your cost will go down. She's
telling you how to how to

676
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:48,210
calculate your taxes to have now
she blew it on that?

677
00:42:48,210 --> 00:42:53,250
I think so. So for the first
portion of the show, I think we

678
00:42:53,250 --> 00:42:58,020
clearly identify why the black
vote is so coveted. And why so

679
00:42:58,020 --> 00:43:02,010
important to whoever the winner
or loser is going to be in 2020.

680
00:43:02,250 --> 00:43:05,220
So we always have to go back.
Well, hold on.

681
00:43:05,249 --> 00:43:10,079
Can't we just call in Jay Z and
Beyonce? Can't they brand new

682
00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:10,829
black vote?

683
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:16,410
Didn't work in 2016 they had
they had Lebron James. Jay Z,

684
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,970
Beyonce chance to rapper all
that Hillary Clinton's like, I

685
00:43:20,970 --> 00:43:25,290
think like two days before or a
day before the election. No

686
00:43:25,290 --> 00:43:25,800
dice.

687
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,420
John led to didn't have John
Legend to

688
00:43:31,170 --> 00:43:41,160
John Legere is always on call.
For the guy, you call Hello. Was

689
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:49,170
I needed? So they have everybody
but the younger voters. I'm

690
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:54,780
smarter. And it's transactional
now right? And you can't come

691
00:43:54,780 --> 00:44:00,750
with wooden nickels anymore. And
these promises of rainbows and

692
00:44:01,170 --> 00:44:04,500
glitter and all this. Me Yeah,
you don't understand what I'm

693
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:07,740
saying? But like this foot that
warm? fuzzies Oh, yeah, you're

694
00:44:07,740 --> 00:44:10,770
gonna you're gonna feel great
after you vote for what are you

695
00:44:10,770 --> 00:44:14,340
putting on the table? Right? Not
only are the millennials asking

696
00:44:14,340 --> 00:44:19,680
that the good portion of the
black male vote is asking the

697
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,840
same thing. What are you going
to put on the table? So now this

698
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,620
is why we had had a conversation
on previous shows what who

699
00:44:28,620 --> 00:44:35,610
they're targeting when women
because they can say this is a

700
00:44:35,610 --> 00:44:38,430
first for you. We can have a
first black woman we can have a

701
00:44:38,430 --> 00:44:42,510
first black woman, female vice
president you know that kind of

702
00:44:42,510 --> 00:44:45,150
thing. Right? You know, it's
there's still a first there

703
00:44:45,450 --> 00:44:49,320
after Brock Obama like, it's
there's no there's no more, you

704
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,130
know, and I

705
00:44:50,130 --> 00:44:52,680
think it's pretty well
established that the general

706
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,220
thinking within the Democrat
Party is whatever whatever white

707
00:44:56,220 --> 00:44:59,970
guy is nominated. It's going to
be Stacey Abrams, who is vice

708
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,770
President candidate pay has

709
00:45:01,769 --> 00:45:03,209
to be pretty

710
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,589
universally known. Yeah.

711
00:45:06,599 --> 00:45:10,619
So now we have to go back and
talk about the history of voting

712
00:45:10,649 --> 00:45:14,249
on voting rights. And this is
according to The New York Times,

713
00:45:14,429 --> 00:45:17,879
in this scene from the 2012
movie know why Abraham Lincoln

714
00:45:17,879 --> 00:45:20,489
spells out the terms of
reconstruction are all

715
00:45:20,490 --> 00:45:24,180
they heard was the first time
any President has ever made

716
00:45:24,180 --> 00:45:26,250
mention of Negro voting?

717
00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:30,840
In 1865, he said freed slaves
who were intelligent, or it

718
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,470
served as soldiers should be
allowed to vote. The 14th

719
00:45:34,470 --> 00:45:39,120
amendment passed in 1868,
guaranteed this right as part of

720
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:44,340
the full citizenship accorded to
African American man. But for

721
00:45:44,340 --> 00:45:47,910
much of the 20th century, voting
remained a contentious issue.

722
00:45:48,210 --> 00:45:52,560
The 19th amendment, ratified in
1920, gave women the right to

723
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,960
vote, but the racial divide
remain.

724
00:45:58,949 --> 00:46:01,109
I'd love that you pull these
clips, that's great.

725
00:46:02,130 --> 00:46:08,520
So what I'm setting up here is
why the boomers feel the

726
00:46:08,790 --> 00:46:13,860
obligation to vote. Because
they're closer to the neck to

727
00:46:13,860 --> 00:46:13,980
two

728
00:46:13,980 --> 00:46:17,340
to history yet to the historical
struggle, of course, yeah,

729
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,860
they actually, you know, 60s,
they were there were the

730
00:46:22,860 --> 00:46:26,670
Millennials don't have that
context. And it's like, I wasn't

731
00:46:26,670 --> 00:46:29,220
there, you know, I've always had
the right to vote. So I'm going

732
00:46:29,220 --> 00:46:34,680
to be more callous selective
with my more selective with my

733
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:39,270
vote, whereas the boomers say
you have to vote, you have to

734
00:46:39,270 --> 00:46:41,190
vote. And this is not something

735
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,950
this is a this is a critical
thing to understand. Because

736
00:46:47,490 --> 00:46:50,490
this is only just before I was
born now, just as I was born,

737
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:54,720
you know, really, when a lot of
these things came into play. But

738
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:59,100
even if you go back two
generations, you're so right.

739
00:46:59,700 --> 00:47:03,300
Black Americans have not had
this right. And it's fresh.

740
00:47:06,510 --> 00:47:10,620
Just a personal, personal
anecdote, if you think about it,

741
00:47:10,620 --> 00:47:16,500
my dad, right, he was born in
51. So like he was able to vote

742
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:24,090
in the very end of the 60s. His
dad may have been heckled or

743
00:47:24,780 --> 00:47:28,560
able to struggle for him to
vote, right? So when they have

744
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,340
that conversation between those
two, it's like, Yes, from my

745
00:47:32,370 --> 00:47:35,400
grandfather to my father, son,
you have to vote because we just

746
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,550
got this right. You have to keep
keep the ball rolling. And where

747
00:47:38,550 --> 00:47:43,590
as with the conversation, say
between me and my dad, he's

748
00:47:43,620 --> 00:47:47,040
always pretty much had the right
to vote. I've always had the

749
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,380
right to vote. So now it's about

750
00:47:50,340 --> 00:47:52,920
what are we going to do with it?
Right, exactly.

751
00:47:53,369 --> 00:47:57,749
And what we what are we willing
to do? If we don't have our

752
00:47:57,749 --> 00:48:02,459
demands are met. And it's hard
for my dad to say No, I won't

753
00:48:02,459 --> 00:48:06,629
vote. I understand that. That
makes total sense. So this is

754
00:48:06,629 --> 00:48:10,079
why Joe Biden's Boomer numbers.
That's why I say Boomer, you're

755
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:13,499
saying tongue in cheek, but this
is why his numbers are so high

756
00:48:13,499 --> 00:48:17,639
with black age group. Yeah. And
this is why they're struggling

757
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:20,369
with the black millennial. Well,
let's get into history of the

758
00:48:20,579 --> 00:48:21,629
voting rights to

759
00:48:21,870 --> 00:48:25,260
some states continue to limit
voting, either through measures

760
00:48:25,260 --> 00:48:29,070
like the poll tax or direct
intimidation of African American

761
00:48:29,070 --> 00:48:33,480
voters. In the south. There were
even whites only primaries.

762
00:48:41,489 --> 00:48:45,239
This is Sam Tanenhaus of The New
York Times. The first modern

763
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:50,429
Civil Rights Act was signed by
President Eisenhower in 1957. It

764
00:48:50,429 --> 00:48:54,059
created a federal commission
authorized to enforce voting

765
00:48:54,059 --> 00:48:58,109
rights. Senator Strom Thurmond
conducted the longest filibuster

766
00:48:58,109 --> 00:49:02,669
in history more than 24 hours in
an effort to thwart the bill but

767
00:49:02,669 --> 00:49:05,609
it passed the location for the
meeting with Senator Ribbeck

768
00:49:05,609 --> 00:49:09,839
still voting was not equal for
all massive resistance in the

769
00:49:09,839 --> 00:49:14,069
deep south was organized to keep
blacks from the polls and legal

770
00:49:14,069 --> 00:49:16,979
enforcement was hampered by all
white jury.

771
00:49:20,340 --> 00:49:25,920
This is why I get so hurt about
modern day voter suppression

772
00:49:25,980 --> 00:49:30,810
quote unquote voter suppression,
right. When people will my

773
00:49:30,810 --> 00:49:34,800
grandfather's age could have
been be in even their lives

774
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:41,280
taken for going to vote. They
were made to pay payroll taxes

775
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:46,710
they were made to take literacy
test. Even things is asinine is

776
00:49:46,860 --> 00:49:54,960
how many like jelly beans in a
jar kind of things. So when you

777
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,970
say modern day voter suppression
is like when you equate those

778
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,850
Who thinks it's so
disrespectful? Yeah. To the

779
00:50:02,850 --> 00:50:04,620
older black voters?

780
00:50:05,099 --> 00:50:11,699
Yes. And to think that one or
two generations after that would

781
00:50:11,699 --> 00:50:15,509
care so little that they can't
even figure out how to get an ID

782
00:50:15,509 --> 00:50:15,899
card?

783
00:50:17,429 --> 00:50:20,249
Or to check to make sure you're
still on the roll. I mean, if

784
00:50:20,249 --> 00:50:23,699
we're saying is, right, it's so
important to us. Right, right.

785
00:50:23,699 --> 00:50:27,239
Right. Going down to wherever
City Hall and and make sure

786
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,509
you're on the rolls and getting
your ID and make sure, of

787
00:50:30,509 --> 00:50:34,229
course, we've we know,
gerrymander happenings. And they

788
00:50:34,229 --> 00:50:37,169
play with the voter rolls on
both sides. I mean, this

789
00:50:37,169 --> 00:50:41,609
happens. Yeah. But if you say
voting is so important to you,

790
00:50:42,119 --> 00:50:46,199
as a right, just doing those
small checks to make sure you

791
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:49,109
have that right to exercise it,
even if you write yourself in

792
00:50:49,139 --> 00:50:52,859
whatever, you would think you
would take it more seriously,

793
00:50:52,859 --> 00:50:55,439
but these people come along and
say, oh, yeah, it's voter

794
00:50:55,439 --> 00:50:59,969
suppression. Dude, that is so it
is just a smack in the face to

795
00:50:59,969 --> 00:51:04,319
the people two or three
generations ago that really

796
00:51:05,549 --> 00:51:10,139
whose vote was suppressed? Yeah.
So I mean, that that irks me,

797
00:51:10,139 --> 00:51:12,119
and that's why I didn't address
the voter suppression thing

798
00:51:12,119 --> 00:51:12,689
until I got

799
00:51:13,889 --> 00:51:16,409
it. It's one of those things
that people just talk about,

800
00:51:16,409 --> 00:51:20,489
just like you say, vote, voter
suppression. It's like saying

801
00:51:20,789 --> 00:51:25,799
comprehensive immigration
reform. It's meaningless. common

802
00:51:25,799 --> 00:51:29,129
sense gun laws, I can go on
forever. It's like it's

803
00:51:29,129 --> 00:51:31,349
meaningless. It's completely
meaningless.

804
00:51:32,250 --> 00:51:40,320
When a set is said to invoke a
certain mind picture of course,

805
00:51:40,710 --> 00:51:44,670
course white cop standing there,
you know, blocking the polls.

806
00:51:45,060 --> 00:51:46,380
How many jellybeans?

807
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:51,510
Right, he's that? That was
really mean like read read this,

808
00:51:51,540 --> 00:51:54,630
you know? That's not what
happened now. But then when they

809
00:51:54,630 --> 00:51:59,820
equate the two people

810
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:04,680
I will continue to call this out
when I see it. Please do. Thank

811
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,130
you, sir. Okay. Oh, history of
the voting voting rights. Part

812
00:52:08,130 --> 00:52:08,460
Three.

813
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,520
Voting Rights became a central
issue in the civil rights

814
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:11,970
movement.

815
00:52:12,060 --> 00:52:17,430
I think this March will go down
as one of the greatest

816
00:52:17,489 --> 00:52:21,869
in 1965 The Reverend Martin
Luther King Jr. led the march

817
00:52:21,869 --> 00:52:26,639
from Selma to Montgomery for
better voting laws. The nation

818
00:52:26,639 --> 00:52:29,939
was shocked by images of the
marchers being attacked. And

819
00:52:29,939 --> 00:52:33,479
less than five months later,
President Lyndon Johnson signed

820
00:52:33,479 --> 00:52:38,459
the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
It barred states and districts

821
00:52:38,519 --> 00:52:42,209
from curtailing the vote on the
basis of race, color or

822
00:52:42,209 --> 00:52:42,869
language.

823
00:52:43,079 --> 00:52:50,369
It is wrong, deadly wrong to
deny any of your fellow

824
00:52:50,369 --> 00:52:54,629
Americans the right to vote in
this country.

825
00:52:55,530 --> 00:52:58,860
Sections four and five of the
bill included special provisions

826
00:52:58,860 --> 00:53:02,730
to ensure fair voting practices
in a number of states, most of

827
00:53:02,730 --> 00:53:07,800
them in the South. Voting Rights
Advocates say some citizens

828
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,250
there continue to be
disenfranchised. But the Supreme

829
00:53:11,250 --> 00:53:15,060
Court's close ruling on Tuesday,
striking down section four

830
00:53:15,090 --> 00:53:19,350
suggests that conditions have
changed since 1965. And it is

831
00:53:19,350 --> 00:53:21,390
left to Congress to reconsider
the

832
00:53:21,389 --> 00:53:27,089
act. Yep. There it is, again,
yep, voted right still

833
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:32,399
disenfranchise. So I mean, so
this goes from the history of

834
00:53:32,399 --> 00:53:36,719
the voting rights. And it starts
at the end of that last clip

835
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:42,569
starts to bleed over to explain
why the majority of black voters

836
00:53:43,229 --> 00:53:44,669
are Democrats

837
00:53:51,030 --> 00:53:54,150
probably have to go back over a
century to start begin telling

838
00:53:54,150 --> 00:53:57,540
the story, right? African
Americans start out when they

839
00:53:57,540 --> 00:54:02,100
become essentially franchised?
No, they do so because of the

840
00:54:02,100 --> 00:54:06,030
Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation, and

841
00:54:06,030 --> 00:54:10,530
therefore, African Americans,
sort of, by default, become

842
00:54:10,530 --> 00:54:13,260
Republicans, because that is the
party of emancipation. The

843
00:54:13,260 --> 00:54:16,770
Republican Party, while it's in
favor of emancipation, is not

844
00:54:16,770 --> 00:54:21,180
really a natural place to put
African Americans, especially as

845
00:54:21,180 --> 00:54:24,660
the as the Republican party goes
through the late 1800s, early

846
00:54:24,660 --> 00:54:28,290
1900s, and goes through some
sort of realignments inside

847
00:54:28,290 --> 00:54:32,100
itself and turns away from a
possible progressive move with

848
00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:35,640
Theodore Roosevelt and becomes
increasingly in the early 20th

849
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,120
century, more of the party of
white collar business interests,

850
00:54:39,150 --> 00:54:39,720
upper class

851
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,529
interest. Well, that's one way
to explain it.

852
00:54:43,860 --> 00:54:48,240
One quick question, sir. Do you
hear me ring my bell? Yeah, I

853
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:50,880
heard you laugh a little bit in
the background. Yeah. What do

854
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,610
you think are rang my bell? I
just want to

855
00:54:53,670 --> 00:54:56,910
start off with the church starts
off with a church right away.

856
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:00,809
It's the same exact song. These
are Two different news

857
00:55:00,809 --> 00:55:05,399
organizations. Yeah. The first
set of three clips was the New

858
00:55:05,399 --> 00:55:10,679
York Times. This clip is a set
of clips from newsy. And they

859
00:55:10,709 --> 00:55:13,139
all use the same song. Which

860
00:55:13,139 --> 00:55:16,109
song is it, though? We share?
Oh,

861
00:55:17,310 --> 00:55:21,570
yes. It's like a Mind Control
trigger. I mean, I'm being I'm

862
00:55:21,570 --> 00:55:22,080
being

863
00:55:22,589 --> 00:55:26,609
No, serious. No, I hear you,
because immediately caught me. I

864
00:55:26,609 --> 00:55:29,129
heard it. I heard you ring the
bell. And I didn't even hear

865
00:55:29,129 --> 00:55:31,079
what song I was like, Oh, I get
it. I know where I

866
00:55:31,079 --> 00:55:37,979
am. It's like a portal to take
you back to the Civil Rights

867
00:55:37,979 --> 00:55:38,339
time,

868
00:55:38,460 --> 00:55:41,940
then he didn't need to throw an
amazing grace in there too,

869
00:55:41,940 --> 00:55:42,870
though, once in a while.

870
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,650
Now, is this where we should
overcome? That's that's the

871
00:55:46,650 --> 00:55:51,300
mean. That's the shell. Yep.
Yeah. And like I said, The New

872
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:55,500
York Times use the same exact
song so that they're aware

873
00:55:55,530 --> 00:56:01,050
they're doing this as a trigger,
to trigger these emotions. And

874
00:56:01,050 --> 00:56:04,530
that's what they want. They want
emotional votes. They don't want

875
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,470
educated votes, they want
emotional votes. But

876
00:56:08,070 --> 00:56:11,670
this is this is who this is.
This is political campaigning,

877
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:17,400
in general is always playing at
the emotions, of course, and of

878
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,880
course, and we and we buy our we
vote for our politicians just

879
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,300
like we buy our washing powder,
as well as less, as long as the

880
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:26,190
message repeated a lot, then we
get into it.

881
00:56:28,770 --> 00:56:33,540
I agree I agree with it. So
majority two,

882
00:56:33,990 --> 00:56:37,560
but now you get African
Americans moving into the north

883
00:56:37,590 --> 00:56:42,030
where they can vote and they
begin to find the appeal of

884
00:56:42,060 --> 00:56:45,300
Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal
very attractive, they begin

885
00:56:45,300 --> 00:56:49,020
increasingly to identify with
the Democratic Party doesn't

886
00:56:49,020 --> 00:56:51,960
happen overnight. Right.
Partisan attachments take a

887
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,310
while to erode during the late
30s and early 40s and late 40s,

888
00:56:56,340 --> 00:57:00,450
to turn from a party that had
been held hostage to state

889
00:57:00,450 --> 00:57:03,240
rights in the South to one that
was willing to embrace civil

890
00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:07,320
rights. You see that and the
behavior of Arias Truman, right,

891
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,600
who's going to integrate the
armed services by executive

892
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,680
order. And after World War Two,
you see that in the 1948

893
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,680
Democratic Convention, then
Senator Hubert Humphrey from

894
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,560
Minnesota gets up and says it's
time for us to walk out of the

895
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,770
shadows states rights into the
bright sunshine of civil rights.

896
00:57:22,890 --> 00:57:25,980
At the same time, the Republican
Party is struggling with its

897
00:57:25,980 --> 00:57:30,600
history of emancipation and
civil rights. You get someone

898
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,950
like Dwight Eisenhower, who says
that integration desegregation

899
00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:36,090
should go slow.

900
00:57:37,650 --> 00:57:39,600
Okay, that was 48.

901
00:57:40,829 --> 00:57:45,749
Yes. So there's two things that
they attributed to, as of right

902
00:57:45,749 --> 00:57:53,009
now pre civil rights that have
made blacks majority Democrats,

903
00:57:53,039 --> 00:57:58,319
one being the the New Deal, FERS
New Deal, right. And then the

904
00:57:58,319 --> 00:58:02,639
integration of the armed
services during World War Two.

905
00:58:03,539 --> 00:58:10,589
Got it? Those are the two things
pre Civil War. So and then they

906
00:58:10,589 --> 00:58:15,029
say with the Eisenhower, he said
that integration needs to go

907
00:58:15,029 --> 00:58:19,799
slow. Yeah. Which I've discussed
this before on my show, I am not

908
00:58:19,799 --> 00:58:28,049
a fan of forced integration. Oh,
and governmental or schools or

909
00:58:28,049 --> 00:58:28,979
things that nature?

910
00:58:29,130 --> 00:58:31,740
And I don't, I think
historically, that's turned out

911
00:58:31,740 --> 00:58:32,880
not to be a super

912
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:39,960
great idea. No, and I do speak
personally. My dad had to leave

913
00:58:39,990 --> 00:58:44,790
all black school in his senior
year, and was forced to go to

914
00:58:44,820 --> 00:58:51,660
integrated school. And he hated
the surprise. Yeah. So forced

915
00:58:51,690 --> 00:58:55,980
and not taken up for Eisenhower.
I'm just saying. That is I think

916
00:58:55,980 --> 00:59:00,840
that's more popular belief or
more popular sentiment that

917
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:07,230
people want to let on when you
use 2020 hindsight vision. Yeah,

918
00:59:07,230 --> 00:59:07,410
well,

919
00:59:07,409 --> 00:59:11,069
we learned a bit about that, in
regards to Kamala Harris

920
00:59:11,069 --> 00:59:14,249
bringing that up against Joe
Biden. So I think people are a

921
00:59:14,249 --> 00:59:16,109
lot more aware than than they
were.

922
00:59:17,070 --> 00:59:19,650
Yeah. And that's This is one of
the benefits of the information

923
00:59:19,650 --> 00:59:22,410
age that we previously talked
about the beginning of the show.

924
00:59:22,740 --> 00:59:25,140
So majority three,

925
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,010
that sort of personifies some of
this movement of the Republican

926
00:59:29,010 --> 00:59:33,180
Party away from its traditional
belief in civil rights and

927
00:59:33,180 --> 00:59:36,840
extending rights to African
Americans, especially by by the

928
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,630
mid 1960s. You get Lyndon
Johnson who's going to take the

929
00:59:39,630 --> 00:59:44,130
lead on civil rights act 1964
Voting Rights Act of 1965. And

930
00:59:44,130 --> 00:59:48,060
by that point, the ship is
cooked right. The Republican

931
00:59:48,060 --> 00:59:54,060
Party opposes it standard bearer
Barry Goldwater oppose 1964. He

932
00:59:54,060 --> 00:59:57,000
calls it a piece of communistic
legislation. At that point. I

933
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:01,230
think the door closes right at
that point. African Americans

934
01:00:01,230 --> 01:00:04,080
who are politically active or
are Democrats

935
01:00:09,150 --> 01:00:14,100
this the switch? Yeah, that is
switching parties. Yeah. Yeah,

936
01:00:14,130 --> 01:00:14,760
go ahead.

937
01:00:15,420 --> 01:00:17,880
Well, I've never heard it
explained like this. So I'm kind

938
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,610
of trying to process it because
this is the whole you know, what

939
01:00:20,610 --> 01:00:24,720
happened? Well, you've you here,
you know, how this switch

940
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,020
happened? What who switched? Was
it the voters who left or did

941
01:00:28,020 --> 01:00:31,920
the party switch? You know, it's
it's very murky way it's

942
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,250
explained in verted explained
many different ways. Not exactly

943
01:00:35,250 --> 01:00:37,440
like this, though. Well, this

944
01:00:37,439 --> 01:00:43,559
is the left democratic
explanation for why black voters

945
01:00:43,559 --> 01:00:47,279
vote Democrat and they, they
kind of they didn't use the term

946
01:00:47,279 --> 01:00:51,269
Southern strategy. But as you
always know, I always like to

947
01:00:51,269 --> 01:00:55,619
counterbalance Yes, Amy
narrative with a man with a

948
01:00:55,649 --> 01:01:01,139
narrative or a at least
explanation from the opposite

949
01:01:01,139 --> 01:01:05,939
side. So then we can go down the
middle and kind of find where

950
01:01:05,939 --> 01:01:09,089
the where the truth really is.
Right. So I went over to Prager,

951
01:01:09,089 --> 01:01:09,509
you.

952
01:01:11,579 --> 01:01:14,099
That's a good one, to go to

953
01:01:14,460 --> 01:01:19,560
one of our right leaning, go to
sources. And Miss Carol Swain.

954
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:26,160
Miss Carol Swain. Let me look up
her information here is a

955
01:01:27,780 --> 01:01:31,890
professor, she is a professor of
political science at Vanderbilt

956
01:01:31,890 --> 01:01:37,590
University. And she's a black
lady. So be understand, just

957
01:01:37,740 --> 01:01:42,060
hold it into thought, as we get
her to explain the Southern

958
01:01:42,060 --> 01:01:42,750
strategy.

959
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:46,710
Once upon a time, every student
of history. And that meant

960
01:01:46,710 --> 01:01:51,270
pretty much everyone with a high
school education knew this. The

961
01:01:51,270 --> 01:01:55,260
Democratic Party was the party
of slavery and Jim Crow. And the

962
01:01:55,260 --> 01:01:59,610
Republican Party was the party
of emancipation and racial

963
01:01:59,610 --> 01:02:04,230
integration. Democrats were the
Confederacy and Republicans were

964
01:02:04,230 --> 01:02:08,520
the union. Jim Crow, Democrats
were dominant in the south, and

965
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:12,690
socially tolerant Republicans
were dominant in the north. But

966
01:02:12,690 --> 01:02:18,000
then, in the 1960s, and 70s.
Everything supposedly flipped.

967
01:02:18,180 --> 01:02:21,810
Suddenly, the Republicans became
the racist, and the Democrats

968
01:02:21,810 --> 01:02:25,890
became the champions of civil
rights, fabricated by left

969
01:02:25,890 --> 01:02:29,430
leaning academic elites and
journalists, the story went like

970
01:02:29,430 --> 01:02:33,780
this. Republicans couldn't win a
national election by appealing

971
01:02:33,780 --> 01:02:36,870
to the better nature of the
country, they could only win by

972
01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:40,980
appealing to the worse
attributed to Richard Nixon, the

973
01:02:40,980 --> 01:02:45,450
media's all purpose bad guy.
This came to be known as the

974
01:02:45,450 --> 01:02:46,680
Southern strategy.

975
01:02:47,610 --> 01:02:51,090
You know, sometimes I think,
because it's just not, it's just

976
01:02:51,090 --> 01:02:55,260
not clearly laid out how this
happened. I think that when they

977
01:02:55,290 --> 01:02:59,160
when they killed Kennedy, the
trauma was so great that there's

978
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,600
like a, like a collective memory
whole, kind of around that

979
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,660
period, when done with Johnson
and everything is just like,

980
01:03:08,070 --> 01:03:11,790
like, okay, here we are. This is
this is how the dust is cleared,

981
01:03:11,940 --> 01:03:13,680
where the Democrats were your
friends.

982
01:03:14,579 --> 01:03:18,659
And they rewrote Johnson in
history for who we actually was

983
01:03:18,689 --> 01:03:22,679
when we think several of our
listeners and maybe you have

984
01:03:22,679 --> 01:03:25,439
heard the Johnson tapes. Oh,
yeah, he was not

985
01:03:25,889 --> 01:03:28,469
racist. The guy's super racist.
He was saying

986
01:03:30,119 --> 01:03:33,299
he wasn't the civil rights and
civil rights freedom fighter

987
01:03:33,809 --> 01:03:38,009
that they paid him out to be,
especially in his HBO movie they

988
01:03:38,009 --> 01:03:41,639
made Yeah. Oh my God. They made
him out to be like a douche. It

989
01:03:41,639 --> 01:03:47,039
was total dick. All right. Yeah.
So so what we're going to do is,

990
01:03:47,489 --> 01:03:51,449
as you pointed out, they brushed
over this thing called a

991
01:03:51,449 --> 01:03:56,909
Southern strategy, and it's just
wildly accepted as truth. Well,

992
01:03:56,909 --> 01:04:04,289
Miss Carroll Swain. She's going
to break down the myth or myths

993
01:04:04,619 --> 01:04:06,719
of the Southern Southern
strategy.

994
01:04:06,869 --> 01:04:10,289
It was very simple, win
elections by winning the south

995
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:15,299
and to win the south appeal to
racists. So the Republicans, the

996
01:04:15,299 --> 01:04:19,919
party of Lincoln, were to now be
labeled the party of rednecks.

997
01:04:20,369 --> 01:04:23,729
But this story of the two
parties switching identities is

998
01:04:23,729 --> 01:04:28,859
a myth. In fact, it's three
myths wrapped into one false

999
01:04:28,859 --> 01:04:33,239
narrative. Let's take a brief
look at each myth in turn. Myth

1000
01:04:33,239 --> 01:04:36,719
number one, in order to be
competitive in the south,

1001
01:04:36,929 --> 01:04:41,519
Republicans started to pander to
white racists in the 1960s.

1002
01:04:41,819 --> 01:04:46,349
Fact, Republicans actually
became competitive in the South

1003
01:04:46,559 --> 01:04:52,709
as early as 1928. One Republican
Herbert Hoover, won over 47% of

1004
01:04:52,709 --> 01:04:56,519
the South's popular vote against
Democrat Al Smith.

1005
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:57,990
Yes,

1006
01:04:58,710 --> 01:05:02,970
I think I've seen This whole
Carol Swain bit, I think it's

1007
01:05:02,970 --> 01:05:05,340
very familiar to me. So yeah,
this sounds right. And I

1008
01:05:05,340 --> 01:05:09,510
remember looking this up in
reliable places like Wikipedia

1009
01:05:09,690 --> 01:05:11,190
confer confirming.

1010
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,840
But this goes to show you that
there's a counter narrative to

1011
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:23,190
what was widely accepted course.
And this goes to explain why

1012
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,360
millennials, some not being,
quote, some actually being more

1013
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:32,250
conservative. Yeah. This is more
am an ammunition for people to

1014
01:05:32,250 --> 01:05:36,630
say, hey, wait a minute. When
I'm talking to my dad, I mean,

1015
01:05:36,780 --> 01:05:39,630
we're gonna use this analogy of
me talking to my dad because

1016
01:05:39,630 --> 01:05:43,770
I'm, I think I'm borderline
millennial and Gen X, or I'm not

1017
01:05:43,770 --> 01:05:47,340
sure where that cutoff is. But
I'm not a boomer. But I'm a non

1018
01:05:47,340 --> 01:05:49,980
Boomer. My dad's a boomer. So
when we have these

1019
01:05:49,980 --> 01:05:52,710
conversations, I'm like, Hey,
Dad, and he'll break out the

1020
01:05:52,710 --> 01:05:56,430
Southern strategy, right? And
I'll be like, I'll top your

1021
01:05:56,430 --> 01:06:01,140
Southern strategy with Miss
Carol Swain, how black southern

1022
01:06:01,140 --> 01:06:06,660
lady, that's the boomer. So it
works out. It works out great,

1023
01:06:06,660 --> 01:06:11,640
because now I have this
information to you know,

1024
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,970
enlighten him. That how'd

1025
01:06:14,970 --> 01:06:20,700
that go? How's that go over when
you do that to your dad? What's

1026
01:06:20,700 --> 01:06:21,600
the workout? Great?

1027
01:06:23,250 --> 01:06:30,630
Yeah. Well, he's gonna vote
regardless. Yeah, he's gonna

1028
01:06:30,630 --> 01:06:35,820
vote. So yeah, so and that's,
once again, this is why Biden's

1029
01:06:35,820 --> 01:06:38,310
numbers are so strong, because
they don't want to hear it. This

1030
01:06:38,310 --> 01:06:41,970
is what we've done the exact
this is what we've done. And

1031
01:06:41,970 --> 01:06:45,060
this is what we're going to do.
But for people out there, we're

1032
01:06:45,060 --> 01:06:48,000
gonna break down the myths for
you. And let's go into Myth

1033
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:48,660
number two.

1034
01:06:48,929 --> 01:06:52,769
Myth number two Southern
Democrats angry with the Civil

1035
01:06:52,769 --> 01:06:58,679
Rights Act of 1964. switch
parties. Fact, of the 21

1036
01:06:58,709 --> 01:07:03,269
Democratic senators who oppose
the Civil Rights Act, just one

1037
01:07:03,269 --> 01:07:08,009
became a Republican. The other
20 continued to be elected as

1038
01:07:08,009 --> 01:07:13,289
Democrats, or were replaced by
other Democrats. On average,

1039
01:07:13,529 --> 01:07:17,039
those 20 seats didn't go
Republican. For another two and

1040
01:07:17,039 --> 01:07:18,149
a half decades.

1041
01:07:18,659 --> 01:07:21,479
Yep. Yeah. Yeah, I have seen
this. And she has a graphic with

1042
01:07:21,479 --> 01:07:23,969
that makes it even clearer when
you see it.

1043
01:07:24,719 --> 01:07:29,369
Yeah, it's undeniable. So how's
that workout? Where was it swap?

1044
01:07:29,399 --> 01:07:35,339
Where was this? Where was this
flip? It's in the,

1045
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:37,710
it's in the book mash.

1046
01:07:38,340 --> 01:07:43,530
It didn't exist now. But we all
know, when you say something

1047
01:07:43,530 --> 01:07:47,550
long enough. It'll just be
accepted as truth. And it's kind

1048
01:07:47,550 --> 01:07:52,020
of hard to break that condition.
And

1049
01:07:52,020 --> 01:07:55,110
it's really astounding, because
I know that I went after the

1050
01:07:55,110 --> 01:07:59,700
story for about a month or six
weeks or no agenda. And you

1051
01:07:59,700 --> 01:08:02,880
know, and I got so many
different versions of the switch

1052
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,330
that people had heard and
confirmation that yes, you know,

1053
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,420
this, because I played pieces of
this Prager, you bit. And I'm

1054
01:08:09,420 --> 01:08:13,440
like, oh, yeah, that's what I
heard. But now that I hear this

1055
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,080
is something completely
different. This is this is snuck

1056
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,480
into history. And it's a
rewrite. It really has been

1057
01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:22,530
rewritten in in different ways.
But the result is the same a

1058
01:08:22,530 --> 01:08:23,130
switch.

1059
01:08:24,599 --> 01:08:30,629
And what she used she's using
cold hard numbers. You can't

1060
01:08:30,659 --> 01:08:35,069
beat numbers, but people would
just write it off like

1061
01:08:35,730 --> 01:08:39,900
yeah, whatever she's compromised
conspiracy theory. Crazy

1062
01:08:39,900 --> 01:08:42,450
religious, Republican, Trump.

1063
01:08:43,679 --> 01:08:47,819
All those all the above. She's,
she's lost her mind. Yeah.

1064
01:08:47,909 --> 01:08:53,609
Alright, let's just for poops
and giggles. Let's listen to

1065
01:08:53,609 --> 01:08:56,819
Miss Carol Swain and the third
myth. Myth number

1066
01:08:56,820 --> 01:09:00,840
three. Since the implementation
of the Southern strategy, the

1067
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:05,850
Republicans have dominated the
south by Act, which it makes him

1068
01:09:06,030 --> 01:09:09,270
the man who is often credited
with creating the Southern

1069
01:09:09,270 --> 01:09:15,240
Strategy lost the deep south in
1968. In contrast, Democrat

1070
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:20,610
Jimmy Carter nearly swept the
region in 1976 12 years after

1071
01:09:20,610 --> 01:09:26,520
the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
And in 1992, over 28 years

1072
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:31,200
later, Democrat Bill Clinton won
Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas,

1073
01:09:31,230 --> 01:09:35,190
Tennessee, Kentucky and West
Virginia. The truth is,

1074
01:09:35,370 --> 01:09:38,160
Republicans didn't hold a
majority of southern

1075
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:43,770
congressional seats until
1994 30 years after the Civil

1076
01:09:43,770 --> 01:09:44,970
Rights Act. Yeah,

1077
01:09:45,420 --> 01:09:50,160
yep, that's right. That's the
facts. But I mean, as we know

1078
01:09:50,190 --> 01:09:55,800
matters, but it's our duty. To
have our due diligence. We have

1079
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:01,530
to counterbalance the narrative
And there you have it, and

1080
01:10:01,530 --> 01:10:05,730
anybody who wants to use this
information at any family

1081
01:10:05,730 --> 01:10:07,170
function, have at it.

1082
01:10:09,660 --> 01:10:13,680
Gasby Yes, we feel that weddings
are very appropriate for this,

1083
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,770
this is a good time to break it
out. And you just have a

1084
01:10:16,770 --> 01:10:18,930
headphone hit listen to these
guys, and then just queue up

1085
01:10:18,930 --> 01:10:21,780
that bit. It'll fantastic
guaranteed fun.

1086
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:28,770
So, but at the time that this
was going on, there was somebody

1087
01:10:28,770 --> 01:10:36,210
calling myths of hypocrisy out.
And it was one of my favorites,

1088
01:10:36,630 --> 01:10:43,050
Mr. Malcolm X. And one of his
one of I think one of the

1089
01:10:43,050 --> 01:10:49,770
greatest speeches, even over
this is my personal opinion,

1090
01:10:49,830 --> 01:10:53,970
even over I have a dream. And
this was the ballot and the

1091
01:10:53,970 --> 01:10:55,050
bullet speech.

1092
01:10:58,230 --> 01:11:02,610
The political philosophy of
black nationalism only means

1093
01:11:02,610 --> 01:11:05,670
that the black man should
control the politics and the

1094
01:11:05,670 --> 01:11:13,290
politicians in his own
community. When white people can

1095
01:11:13,290 --> 01:11:17,310
come in community, and get us to
vote for them, so that they can

1096
01:11:17,310 --> 01:11:20,610
be our political leaders and
tell us what to do and what not

1097
01:11:20,610 --> 01:11:22,350
to do is long gone.

1098
01:11:29,340 --> 01:11:33,060
By the same token, the time when
that same white man, knowing

1099
01:11:33,060 --> 01:11:36,810
that your eyes are too far open,
consider another Navy role into

1100
01:11:36,810 --> 01:11:40,950
the community to support him so
he can use him.

1101
01:11:50,070 --> 01:11:52,200
Oh, really, they came back for a
bit there.

1102
01:11:54,300 --> 01:11:59,490
Doesn't this are eerily like the
times we're in right now?

1103
01:11:59,489 --> 01:12:03,899
No kidding. No kidding, MO. And
this is what year was this? The

1104
01:12:03,899 --> 01:12:06,269
speech 1964 60 forces.

1105
01:12:06,390 --> 01:12:11,040
This isn't what after he left.
Let me get the information on

1106
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:16,320
this speech. This was after he
left the Nation of Islam. In

1107
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:23,490
1964. April 12. He gave this
speech at the King Solomon

1108
01:12:23,490 --> 01:12:30,030
Baptist Church in Detroit,
Michigan. But he even he even

1109
01:12:31,140 --> 01:12:35,760
basically pointed out to Boulais
Oh, yeah. In there, because he

1110
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:39,180
said for the people to even have
their eyes open. They're going

1111
01:12:39,180 --> 01:12:45,330
to sin leaders that look like
us. Yeah, get your vote. So I

1112
01:12:45,330 --> 01:12:50,310
mean, hello, Barry. Quite clear.
Yeah, he was quite clear. That

1113
01:12:50,340 --> 01:12:55,650
even real time people were aware
of what was going on. Right,

1114
01:12:55,650 --> 01:12:58,950
what was going on? And that's
why I followed up this Miss

1115
01:12:58,980 --> 01:13:03,960
Carol Swain with this set of
clips because people like oh,

1116
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,690
that's a rewrite of history.
She's cherry picking history.

1117
01:13:07,140 --> 01:13:11,820
Well, we have one of the most
renowned black leaders refuting

1118
01:13:13,590 --> 01:13:19,470
refuting it. Yes. So let's let's
let's let them continue ballot

1119
01:13:19,530 --> 01:13:20,430
or the bullet two.

1120
01:13:24,420 --> 01:13:32,970
We must, we must understand the
politics. And we must know we

1121
01:13:32,970 --> 01:13:37,560
must know what politics play in
our lives. Until we become

1122
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,700
politically mature, we will
always be misled and led astray

1123
01:13:42,090 --> 01:13:46,050
or deceived or maneuvered into
supporting someone politically,

1124
01:13:46,260 --> 01:13:50,280
who doesn't have the good of our
community and so the political

1125
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:54,150
philosophy of nationalism only
means that we will have to carry

1126
01:13:54,150 --> 01:13:58,560
on a program a political program
of re education to open up

1127
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,500
people's eyes make us become
more politically conscious

1128
01:14:01,500 --> 01:14:06,210
politically mature whenever we
get ready to cast our ballots,

1129
01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:10,260
that ballot will be class will
be cast for a man of the

1130
01:14:10,260 --> 01:14:12,870
community to have the good of
the community

1131
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:31,410
is scary. If you were to publish
these words, right now and 2020

1132
01:14:32,220 --> 01:14:37,560
is like he's like it's the same
right? We're at the same

1133
01:14:39,510 --> 01:14:41,130
Crossroads well,

1134
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:46,680
it it's a fractal and in an in a
very interesting nice way you

1135
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:50,160
are you are a part of that
fractal mo so this is this is a

1136
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,320
good thing. It's a beautiful
thing to see really.

1137
01:14:53,790 --> 01:14:57,840
Cuz I knew of this speech, I
mean, I've heard it numerous

1138
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,320
times, but just to hear it and
like now Want to hear right now?

1139
01:15:01,470 --> 01:15:06,330
Yeah, it's like he could be. He
could be talking about what's

1140
01:15:06,330 --> 01:15:09,510
going on right and right now,
and it's just so it's wonderful

1141
01:15:09,510 --> 01:15:13,050
at one way. And another way.
It's just that, wow, it took

1142
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:14,280
this long. Like, it's

1143
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:18,120
like, because this is 55 years
because I was born in 1964.

1144
01:15:18,810 --> 01:15:22,650
Yeah. Shit. I'm part of the
fractal to UI.

1145
01:15:23,790 --> 01:15:30,690
It's 55 years. For us to get to
the maturing point. Yeah.

1146
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,150
But that Well, congratulations
on all facts. How does it feel

1147
01:15:36,150 --> 01:15:39,360
now that you're politically
mature? It feels

1148
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:48,180
great. Feels great. Effort.
Exactly. But, but it does feel

1149
01:15:48,180 --> 01:15:55,410
great, because what we see here
is the internet. Yep. The, the

1150
01:15:55,410 --> 01:15:59,010
one of the greatest inventions
of all time, the internet has

1151
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:04,170
defeated the propaganda machine
that has kept down people in all

1152
01:16:04,170 --> 01:16:09,060
walks of life at all, you know,
we can go back and pull data and

1153
01:16:09,450 --> 01:16:13,440
pull clips and put it together
and actually find what the truth

1154
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:19,050
was. So I'm just gonna let him
continue. I mean, he's on a roll

1155
01:16:19,050 --> 01:16:19,770
right now. So

1156
01:16:25,860 --> 01:16:33,510
this government has failed
government itself. Liberals who

1157
01:16:33,510 --> 01:16:39,360
have been posing as our friends.
Once we see that all these other

1158
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:43,950
sources to which we turn, we
stopped turning to them and turn

1159
01:16:43,950 --> 01:16:48,750
to ourselves. We need a self
help program. Do it, do it

1160
01:16:48,750 --> 01:17:01,530
yourself. I do it right now. The
only time the only way we're

1161
01:17:01,530 --> 01:17:07,560
going to solve our problems is
with a self help program. Before

1162
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,010
we can get a self help program
started, we have to have a self

1163
01:17:11,010 --> 01:17:12,210
help philosophy.

1164
01:17:13,740 --> 01:17:17,280
I'm so happy that this
particular recording exists

1165
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,300
because a lot of the recordings
of Martin Luther King suck. And

1166
01:17:21,330 --> 01:17:24,330
this is this is nice. I mean,
the audio is good. And of

1167
01:17:24,330 --> 01:17:26,640
course, it's got its
scratchiness, but you can really

1168
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:30,540
hear him incredibly well. And
again, everything he said here,

1169
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,600
I mean, mine has been in my
journal called himself, Malcolm

1170
01:17:33,630 --> 01:17:34,890
Malcolm mo facts.

1171
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:40,080
And the funny thing is, is that
the meme that I was telling you

1172
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:45,900
about before that I've seen
conservatives post of Malcolm X

1173
01:17:45,900 --> 01:17:51,120
talking about liberals. Right,
right. I've mentioned it several

1174
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,360
times in the show, but that is
the one but also talking about

1175
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:54,870
so so

1176
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:59,190
let me just say in this in this
speech, where he says the

1177
01:17:59,190 --> 01:18:02,490
conservative doesn't give a crap
about you anyway. Either.

1178
01:18:03,420 --> 01:18:06,600
Way, hey, no, no, no. We're just
gonna clip it down to where he's

1179
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:11,610
talking about the liberals. Oh.
That's how memes work. Let me

1180
01:18:11,610 --> 01:18:15,420
come on. Gotcha. I'm with you.
I'm working with you. cherry

1181
01:18:15,420 --> 01:18:22,080
pick the cherry picker to use
against the liberals. But it's

1182
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:26,400
weird because I was like what?
Like, you know, hardcore

1183
01:18:26,430 --> 01:18:29,670
conservatives are using Malcolm
X who thought that in the

1184
01:18:29,670 --> 01:18:31,230
20th 21st century?

1185
01:18:31,589 --> 01:18:35,009
Well, I know when I when I was
growing up. There used to be

1186
01:18:35,009 --> 01:18:37,349
Malcolm X t shirts. You don't
see those anymore.

1187
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:44,250
I will say this. And I don't
wanna get too far off cutting

1188
01:18:44,250 --> 01:18:51,210
out I'm saying it has been
disgusting. What a few active

1189
01:18:51,390 --> 01:18:55,440
members of the Black academia
has done to the name of Malcolm

1190
01:18:55,500 --> 01:19:00,780
X. One being Mr. Michael Eric
Dyson. Disgusting. And I'll just

1191
01:19:00,780 --> 01:19:02,670
leave it at that. He was saying
people can go look up for

1192
01:19:02,670 --> 01:19:09,900
yourself. They when you are the
Boulais Yeah, everything is fair

1193
01:19:09,900 --> 01:19:13,350
game to tear down if it's
harmful to the people that

1194
01:19:13,350 --> 01:19:15,690
you're protecting now, and I'll
just leave it there, but it's

1195
01:19:15,690 --> 01:19:16,890
just disgusting. Well,

1196
01:19:17,490 --> 01:19:21,180
we're bookmarking it because in
2020, we got to come back

1197
01:19:21,180 --> 01:19:25,950
to that. Yes, I will come back
to the our will. And maybe

1198
01:19:25,950 --> 01:19:32,370
sooner than then thought. But I
think we left off it three to

1199
01:19:32,370 --> 01:19:33,780
four. Yep. Four.

1200
01:19:41,100 --> 01:19:45,210
Why is America why does this
loom to be such an explosive

1201
01:19:45,270 --> 01:19:50,010
political year? Because this is
the era of politics. This is the

1202
01:19:50,010 --> 01:19:52,260
year when all of the white
politicians are going to come

1203
01:19:52,260 --> 01:19:55,110
into the negro community. You've
never seen them until the

1204
01:19:55,110 --> 01:20:01,200
election. You can't blame them.
They're going to come in with

1205
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,590
false promises. And as they make
these false promises, they're

1206
01:20:04,590 --> 01:20:08,610
going to feed our frustrations.
And this will only serve to make

1207
01:20:08,610 --> 01:20:12,420
matters worse. I'm no
politician. I'm not even a

1208
01:20:12,420 --> 01:20:17,640
student of politics. I'm not a
Republican nor Democrat, not an

1209
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:18,360
American and

1210
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:26,610
what did he say at the

1211
01:20:26,610 --> 01:20:28,800
end? They're not American.

1212
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,770
I'm not a Republican. I'm not
Democrat. I'm not American.

1213
01:20:32,100 --> 01:20:35,490
American have sis nothing. No.
And what he means by that is

1214
01:20:35,490 --> 01:20:37,200
he's not recognize Oh, I

1215
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,300
totally understand what he
means. Yeah.

1216
01:20:39,780 --> 01:20:42,030
I'm explaining for people that
you know,

1217
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,820
I'm sorry, I will say it again
because I interrupted you, ya

1218
01:20:44,850 --> 01:20:45,780
know what?

1219
01:20:46,290 --> 01:20:50,850
He's not accepted into the
American dream into the fabric

1220
01:20:50,850 --> 01:20:55,170
of the constitution. So he's
like, I'm, I'm, what would you

1221
01:20:55,170 --> 01:20:59,010
have to do is put that in
context of, of course, Dr. King,

1222
01:20:59,010 --> 01:21:02,790
and I have a dream and even
though civil rights movement,

1223
01:21:03,330 --> 01:21:10,740
he's like, No, don't be fooled.
Right? To think you're you're

1224
01:21:10,740 --> 01:21:14,550
only being used because you can
activate the vote even back then

1225
01:21:14,580 --> 01:21:23,250
it was activated. Yeah. So um,
bullet 520 2 million

1226
01:21:23,250 --> 01:21:28,410
black victims of Americanism by
waking up and gaining a new

1227
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:32,460
political consciousness,
becoming politically mature. And

1228
01:21:32,460 --> 01:21:35,880
as they become develop this
political maturity, they're able

1229
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:40,680
to see the recent trends in
these political elections, they

1230
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,260
see that the whites are so
evenly divided that every time

1231
01:21:43,260 --> 01:21:46,590
they vote, the race is so close,
they have to go back and count

1232
01:21:46,590 --> 01:21:51,870
the votes all over again. Which
means that any block, any

1233
01:21:51,870 --> 01:21:54,870
minority that has a block of
votes that stick together is in

1234
01:21:54,870 --> 01:22:00,420
a strategic position. Either
way, you you're in a position to

1235
01:22:00,420 --> 01:22:03,390
determine who goes to the White
House and who will stay in the

1236
01:22:03,390 --> 01:22:09,030
doghouse. You're the one who
has,

1237
01:22:10,140 --> 01:22:13,590
here's what Trump should do if I
was advising him to use that

1238
01:22:13,590 --> 01:22:16,740
line. You want to be in the
White House, you want to be in

1239
01:22:16,740 --> 01:22:20,790
the dog house. What a great one
that would be to resurrect.

1240
01:22:21,660 --> 01:22:24,210
This is the block the course
this is the

1241
01:22:25,530 --> 01:22:28,530
glow, right? It's the
origination of the block sure

1242
01:22:28,740 --> 01:22:33,420
that we have so much power right
now because the country is so

1243
01:22:33,450 --> 01:22:38,970
evenly divided. That this, this
is one time with the monolith of

1244
01:22:38,970 --> 01:22:42,570
the block or whatever you want
to call it is valuable. Because

1245
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:46,920
we can move in one direction or
the other. It'll be noticed.

1246
01:22:48,180 --> 01:22:52,560
It'll know the way the country
goes or our vote goes is I'm

1247
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:56,370
talking about 2020 Here.
However, our vote goals are

1248
01:22:56,370 --> 01:22:59,910
don't go because we have to talk
about the negative vote again.

1249
01:23:01,170 --> 01:23:04,650
Republicans just need us to stay
at home. They don't need us to

1250
01:23:04,650 --> 01:23:08,850
come and vote. And to go back a
few clips ago they were saying

1251
01:23:08,850 --> 01:23:13,710
that the Trump campaign is
putting out information targeted

1252
01:23:13,710 --> 01:23:18,720
information on Facebook and
barbershops. This message is

1253
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:19,710
getting around.

1254
01:23:21,510 --> 01:23:26,190
So you need to Weymouth so Trump
is is campaigning with flyers in

1255
01:23:26,190 --> 01:23:27,570
barber shops. Is that was that
what you

1256
01:23:27,570 --> 01:23:30,810
said? I don't know. I don't know
how that goes. I haven't seen a

1257
01:23:30,810 --> 01:23:37,920
Trump flyer in a barber shop but
but they're reaching out. Right?

1258
01:23:38,100 --> 01:23:41,640
Because that's that's the
political form. I wanted to

1259
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,000
major political forms in the
black barbershop. Yeah, it's the

1260
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,190
barbershop I mean any any
community but

1261
01:23:47,220 --> 01:23:52,350
Whoa, I've seen Eddie Murphy
movies. Okay. Yeah. I get it I

1262
01:23:52,350 --> 01:23:59,640
get I could be your Arsenio

1263
01:24:01,860 --> 01:24:09,780
so people don't think about
1964. When you hear these clips,

1264
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:14,130
think about writing about 2020.
Think about right now what he's

1265
01:24:14,130 --> 01:24:18,360
saying. And bullet six.

1266
01:24:19,830 --> 01:24:23,010
You're the one who sent Kennedy
to Washington. You're the one

1267
01:24:23,010 --> 01:24:27,000
who put the president Democratic
administration in Washington DC.

1268
01:24:27,390 --> 01:24:31,140
The Wake were evenly divided. It
was the fact that you through a

1269
01:24:31,140 --> 01:24:34,680
percent of your votes behind the
Democrats that put the Democrats

1270
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:39,030
in the White House. When you see
this, you can see that the Negro

1271
01:24:39,060 --> 01:24:42,780
bill is a key factor in despite
the fact that you are in a

1272
01:24:42,780 --> 01:24:46,050
position to to be the
determining factor. What do you

1273
01:24:46,050 --> 01:24:49,920
get out of it? The Democrats
have been in Washington DC, only

1274
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:54,090
because of the negros they've
been down there for years. And

1275
01:24:54,090 --> 01:24:56,640
they're all other legislation
they wanted to bring up they

1276
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,370
brought it up and get it out of
the way and now they bring up

1277
01:24:59,370 --> 01:25:05,250
you You You put them first and
they put you

1278
01:25:12,630 --> 01:25:18,840
chump. Fantastic. Now against
spotter spotter spotter.

1279
01:25:19,050 --> 01:25:26,190
And but this could be about 2008
to 2010. Yep. When we got Brock

1280
01:25:26,190 --> 01:25:30,120
in office gave gave him all the
votes he needed to pass any

1281
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,990
legislation from those two year
period. They got everything

1282
01:25:33,990 --> 01:25:39,060
Obamacare and everything else
they won't pass with nothing no

1283
01:25:39,510 --> 01:25:40,560
Trump but nothing.

1284
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,690
Trump's you got Trump. And next
you got Trump. See you gotta get

1285
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:52,170
again, I'm writing the campaign
for him. Some I got some I call

1286
01:25:52,170 --> 01:25:57,390
Mr. Curry Oh, political
consultancy,

1287
01:25:57,449 --> 01:26:04,409
consulting. Yeah. So I'm just
the counter Mr. Malcolm, and

1288
01:26:04,409 --> 01:26:09,359
explain how some people that I
often agree with I don't agree

1289
01:26:09,359 --> 01:26:13,229
with on their stance on voting
is Mr. Warm, nearly Fuller, and

1290
01:26:13,229 --> 01:26:17,129
we've played his clips before,
he was so gracious to us to

1291
01:26:17,129 --> 01:26:23,129
define what white supremacy was
on previous shows. But I want

1292
01:26:23,129 --> 01:26:26,819
him to explain he's gonna
explain voting with the slave

1293
01:26:26,819 --> 01:26:27,839
ship analogy.

1294
01:26:28,380 --> 01:26:32,460
It leads to some constructive
things and a whole lot of non

1295
01:26:32,460 --> 01:26:36,840
constructive things. But when
you consider the alternative,

1296
01:26:37,980 --> 01:26:41,610
use the slave ship analogy. If
you're at the bottom of the

1297
01:26:41,610 --> 01:26:47,550
slave ship, you know Yana slave
ship. But every now and then

1298
01:26:47,550 --> 01:26:53,280
some second lieutenants, who is
the slave master of the slave

1299
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:58,620
ship? Some person who is not the
captain maybe comes down the

1300
01:26:58,620 --> 01:27:02,160
ladder and say, well, the
captain doesn't speak favorably

1301
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:09,480
of any of you people. After all,
this is a slave ship. But I go

1302
01:27:09,480 --> 01:27:12,150
with him about giving you a
little more corn bread than you

1303
01:27:12,150 --> 01:27:17,610
usually get. So I'm going to try
to get it for you. I mean, if

1304
01:27:17,610 --> 01:27:21,570
you just bear with me, and try
to cooperate and don't rally or

1305
01:27:21,570 --> 01:27:26,310
change too much down here,
disturbing my sleep. So if

1306
01:27:26,310 --> 01:27:29,460
you're to just kind of keep
quiet, see through it, the

1307
01:27:29,460 --> 01:27:31,740
durations are increased.

1308
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:33,840
Yeah, sounds about right.

1309
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,160
And this is why I have the
utmost respect for nearly

1310
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:42,000
Fuller, but this is why I
disagree. He's in the mindset,

1311
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:46,260
well, a little bit more
cornbread is better than the

1312
01:27:46,260 --> 01:27:48,300
little piece of cornbread that
we did have,

1313
01:27:48,330 --> 01:27:50,790
right? But he's also a boomer.
So he

1314
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:58,470
is different. But I rather keep
his analogy, keep rattling my

1315
01:27:58,470 --> 01:27:59,520
chains. Yeah, he's

1316
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,890
got some good ones in there.
Right? I

1317
01:28:01,890 --> 01:28:04,950
keep I rather me personally,
rather keep rattling in my

1318
01:28:04,950 --> 01:28:11,970
chains than to be bought off for
another little few more crumbs.

1319
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,800
Because I understand the power
that was laid out in the clips

1320
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:20,160
by Malcolm X. Right. It's
there's real power, political

1321
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:24,360
power there is just that we and
that's the best never realized.

1322
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:24,720
And that's

1323
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:29,220
the best enslavement is when you
I mean, in general, all

1324
01:28:29,220 --> 01:28:32,880
Americans, collectively, we have
incredible power, we are much

1325
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,270
more powerful than the
government. But when we do, but

1326
01:28:36,270 --> 01:28:39,600
when you don't know it when
you've been taught not to think

1327
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,810
that way. When you're told that
the people you elect are your

1328
01:28:42,810 --> 01:28:46,920
leaders. That's one of my
personal pet peeves, like come

1329
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:52,530
on. My leader. It's my employee.
You know, but that's that's been

1330
01:28:52,530 --> 01:28:57,420
programmed for years and years
and years. Thank God for

1331
01:28:57,420 --> 01:28:58,320
podcasting.

1332
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:08,700
All right, so we've talked about
why black people have voted

1333
01:29:08,700 --> 01:29:14,550
Democratic for the Democrats.
Close out I want to talk about

1334
01:29:14,580 --> 01:29:20,130
why black people have not voted
for the Republicans. And to do

1335
01:29:20,130 --> 01:29:23,910
that. I want to use one of our
show favorites, Mr. Stephen A.

1336
01:29:23,910 --> 01:29:24,300
Smith.

1337
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,400
Stephen A said that every black
person in America should vote

1338
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:33,240
Republican for at least one
election. Stephen A Smith is

1339
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,850
joining me now Steven, who are
you trying to send a message to

1340
01:29:35,850 --> 01:29:40,080
Republicans, Democrats, African
Americans, all of the above?

1341
01:29:41,940 --> 01:29:44,610
I'd go with all of the above
that sounds about right, but

1342
01:29:44,610 --> 01:29:47,700
specifically the Democratic
Party from the standpoint that I

1343
01:29:47,700 --> 01:29:50,490
definitely believe that the
black vote has been taken for

1344
01:29:50,490 --> 01:29:54,870
granted. And primarily the black
community is at fault in my

1345
01:29:54,870 --> 01:29:57,870
estimation, in that regard,
simply because on one hand,

1346
01:29:57,990 --> 01:30:01,980
we're giving one party I vote
because they've successfully

1347
01:30:01,980 --> 01:30:05,190
gone about the business of
convincing our community that

1348
01:30:05,220 --> 01:30:08,400
the other party, the Republican
Party is completely against the

1349
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,890
interests of the black
community. And as a result,

1350
01:30:10,890 --> 01:30:14,610
we've been very transparent. And
I support, we've bought it hook,

1351
01:30:14,610 --> 01:30:17,430
line and sinker, we look at the
Republican Party, I'm not

1352
01:30:17,430 --> 01:30:19,740
talking about every single one
of us, of course, but vast

1353
01:30:19,740 --> 01:30:23,280
majority of black Americans look
at the Republican Party as the

1354
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:27,270
enemy, we look at the Democratic
Party, who even tacitly has our

1355
01:30:27,270 --> 01:30:30,270
support base. And as a result,
we are very transparent in our

1356
01:30:30,270 --> 01:30:33,360
support for them. So because of
it, they have a license to take

1357
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,660
us for granted. The Republican
Party has a light to our license

1358
01:30:36,660 --> 01:30:39,480
to summarily dismiss us because
they believe they'll never get

1359
01:30:39,510 --> 01:30:42,540
our vote anyway. And then we end
up finding ourselves devoid of

1360
01:30:42,540 --> 01:30:45,750
any kind of representation
whatsoever, because nobody is

1361
01:30:45,750 --> 01:30:49,410
really competing to garner our
vote and our support.

1362
01:30:50,850 --> 01:30:52,980
Well, that is very clear.

1363
01:30:54,660 --> 01:30:58,320
I thought he laid it out quite
clear, while we vote Democratic

1364
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:00,990
CLI or Democrat for the
Democrats, and while we don't

1365
01:31:00,990 --> 01:31:05,370
vote for Republicans, I can't
say it any better myself. But of

1366
01:31:05,370 --> 01:31:11,160
course, he had to go back. Oh, I
had to recant his statements,

1367
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:12,240
because as he

1368
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:16,860
did, excuse me, has got a little
level of meaning out here in the

1369
01:31:16,860 --> 01:31:19,170
corner office. Talk to you about
what you said.

1370
01:31:20,790 --> 01:31:24,780
Steven, can we talk to you in
the office for a minute? And

1371
01:31:24,780 --> 01:31:31,080
what he really wanted to say
would don't vote. I think what

1372
01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:34,890
you had to vote but you had,
they got to keep you voting? I

1373
01:31:34,890 --> 01:31:39,360
think not voting is even saying
to vote for the other party. Let

1374
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,370
me tell you, it's less
dangerous. You could

1375
01:31:41,370 --> 01:31:45,150
not go on a mainstream
television program and say, I

1376
01:31:45,150 --> 01:31:49,800
recommend people not vote.
Immediately everyone will be

1377
01:31:49,860 --> 01:31:53,700
uber patriot. How can you say
that? This is the worst thing in

1378
01:31:53,700 --> 01:31:58,320
the world. I can no one could
say it. Nobody can say that on

1379
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,440
mainstream television. Ever.

1380
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:05,640
And let's let's not forget that
got Mr. Kaepernick canceled.

1381
01:32:05,670 --> 01:32:10,110
That's right. Temporarily. You
go by by Mr. Stephen A Smith.

1382
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:15,630
Yeah, you so he was like, Okay,
we need to go the other

1383
01:32:15,630 --> 01:32:18,930
direction. But then he, you
know, he had to come in and

1384
01:32:18,930 --> 01:32:22,170
remind everybody that he was a
black man. Okay, so good.

1385
01:32:22,530 --> 01:32:23,970
Thank God. I forgot. Yeah.

1386
01:32:24,300 --> 01:32:33,690
Yeah, it is. So, um, to close
out the show, I have some clips

1387
01:32:33,690 --> 01:32:38,790
from a YouTube channel called
Black public media. And this

1388
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,660
video was entitled black folks
don't vote Republican.

1389
01:32:42,930 --> 01:32:45,930
By one point. Black folks did
vote Republican people like Zora

1390
01:32:45,930 --> 01:32:47,220
Neale Hurston, for instance, you

1391
01:32:47,220 --> 01:32:49,680
know, at the time of the
Emancipation Proclamation,

1392
01:32:50,370 --> 01:32:52,560
Abraham Lincoln was Republican
Franklin

1393
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:57,210
Delano Roosevelt ushered in
shifts around how black people

1394
01:32:57,210 --> 01:33:00,780
voted from the Republican party
to the Democratic Party.

1395
01:33:00,900 --> 01:33:04,320
And then the father, the Tea
Party came along, you know, was

1396
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:09,810
Barry Goldwater, and presented
his whole extreme conservativism

1397
01:33:09,810 --> 01:33:12,390
idea, and I think he's sort of
steered us away.

1398
01:33:12,480 --> 01:33:16,800
Also, the Republican community
has done a poor job of reaching

1399
01:33:16,830 --> 01:33:19,290
out to the black community and
helping us understand their

1400
01:33:19,290 --> 01:33:22,830
values as they have progressed
over time. So we just kind of

1401
01:33:22,830 --> 01:33:26,250
used to voting. Mom was
Democrat, Dad was Democrat, I'm

1402
01:33:26,250 --> 01:33:26,760
a Democrat.

1403
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:31,290
I'm a Democrat. They talk about
the middle class, or they don't

1404
01:33:31,290 --> 01:33:34,650
ask you to pull yourself up by
your own bootstraps. When you

1405
01:33:34,650 --> 01:33:36,150
don't have boots. Democrats

1406
01:33:36,150 --> 01:33:39,930
seem to want to share the
wealth. You know, Republicans

1407
01:33:39,930 --> 01:33:42,840
like now it's mine. I work for
this shit. This is mine.

1408
01:33:44,910 --> 01:33:46,680
How old are these fine people?

1409
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,940
It was a various different ages,
but most of them were maybe late

1410
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:57,240
mid 30s to late 40s. But one
person said in that video, mom's

1411
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,870
Democrat dad and Democrat I'm a
Democrat. I'm a Democrat. Yep.

1412
01:34:02,550 --> 01:34:07,620
Alright, so and they even
acknowledge that black folks

1413
01:34:07,620 --> 01:34:13,440
started voting Republican but
that the that you can hear it

1414
01:34:13,440 --> 01:34:17,280
didn't explicitly say it but you
can hear the Southern Strategy

1415
01:34:17,310 --> 01:34:19,440
Oh, yeah. mentality. Oh, yeah.
It's

1416
01:34:19,440 --> 01:34:21,090
in there for sure. It was it was

1417
01:34:21,090 --> 01:34:23,940
in there. I mean, they were just
oh, it just something happened

1418
01:34:24,150 --> 01:34:25,230
is miraculous, which

1419
01:34:25,499 --> 01:34:28,859
I'm telling you Kennedy
assassination. memory hole.

1420
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:35,190
That's, that's a fascinating,
fascinating observation. And I

1421
01:34:35,190 --> 01:34:41,250
liken that to maybe a 911 the
same way Oh, trauma, trauma, the

1422
01:34:41,250 --> 01:34:44,490
trauma. Everything else is a
blur after that. I mean, because

1423
01:34:44,490 --> 01:34:48,630
you can't even remember like, we
a lot of stuff you think you

1424
01:34:48,630 --> 01:34:51,840
think and TV clips. Exactly. But
when you actually try to

1425
01:34:51,840 --> 01:35:00,750
remember it. Yeah. It's really a
blur. So the final clip Have we

1426
01:35:00,750 --> 01:35:05,820
have black folks don't vote
Republican to black folks don't

1427
01:35:05,820 --> 01:35:06,900
vote Republican.

1428
01:35:07,950 --> 01:35:09,900
For the last part, probably not

1429
01:35:09,900 --> 01:35:10,920
in droves.

1430
01:35:11,010 --> 01:35:15,180
I thankfully don't have any
friends or family members that

1431
01:35:15,180 --> 01:35:17,970
wouldn't vote Republican that I
know of. If they are, they're

1432
01:35:18,090 --> 01:35:19,410
closeted Republicans.

1433
01:35:19,980 --> 01:35:23,880
I honestly feel like there's a
secret society of Black

1434
01:35:24,150 --> 01:35:27,150
Republican voters somewhere. I
don't know who they are. They're

1435
01:35:27,150 --> 01:35:30,030
not in this like one of my
family. I won't put her out

1436
01:35:30,030 --> 01:35:31,440
there like that. But

1437
01:35:31,830 --> 01:35:34,560
think about the Ben Carson's of
the world and Michael Steel's of

1438
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,410
the world and what I've
accepted, is it any idea that

1439
01:35:37,410 --> 01:35:39,630
comes out that's created by
human beings, we're always going

1440
01:35:39,630 --> 01:35:41,640
to find someone to believe in
it.

1441
01:35:41,850 --> 01:35:44,850
Now, the black people that vote
Republican, tend to be a little

1442
01:35:44,850 --> 01:35:45,540
cray cray

1443
01:35:45,660 --> 01:35:49,260
black vote, don't vote
Republican because we don't

1444
01:35:49,260 --> 01:35:50,100
trust whitey.

1445
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:58,230
Okay, that's pretty clear that
the programming is working mo

1446
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:06,420
gram. Is it successful? They're
closing it. Yeah, imagine to

1447
01:36:06,420 --> 01:36:11,100
say, because our vote is
political way. You're closeted,

1448
01:36:11,100 --> 01:36:16,770
man. And the time we live in
where everybody's accepted, you

1449
01:36:16,770 --> 01:36:17,130
know?

1450
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:22,230
Intersectionality Yep, share.

1451
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:27,180
Craig Craig. You have to be
Craig Craig. I'm Republican.

1452
01:36:27,210 --> 01:36:29,010
And I'm not calling her out.

1453
01:36:30,210 --> 01:36:37,980
out I'm not going to call it for
beer. And that To summarize,

1454
01:36:39,030 --> 01:36:43,410
well, either you have to vote.
You have to vote

1455
01:36:43,470 --> 01:36:45,870
let me just let me just tell you
something from from cracker

1456
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:50,910
nation over here. I was at the
hair salon that is believe it or

1457
01:36:50,910 --> 01:36:56,100
not mo political conversation
takes place in the hair salon. A

1458
01:36:56,100 --> 01:36:59,820
just like the barber shop,
except my hair salon is filled

1459
01:36:59,820 --> 01:37:06,750
with women. And okay. And I know
the woman who does my hair. We

1460
01:37:06,750 --> 01:37:11,280
talk politics you know, we're
not on the same page but we both

1461
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:16,410
agreed that she's very she sees
the show. So a woman next to us

1462
01:37:16,410 --> 01:37:19,140
overhears it without really
being prompted she just steps he

1463
01:37:19,140 --> 01:37:22,110
said oh my god. Let me just I
don't know I don't know where

1464
01:37:22,110 --> 01:37:25,470
you stand politically but one of
my clients he said if I had

1465
01:37:25,470 --> 01:37:28,110
stage four cancer I'd get a gun
and go kill them motherfucker.

1466
01:37:29,010 --> 01:37:36,120
So this kind of idiocy is
everywhere across all lines and

1467
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:36,870
boundaries

1468
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:40,560
in barbarous making people sick

1469
01:37:40,590 --> 01:37:43,650
and it's making me very sick
various makes

1470
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:50,520
people sick. And I'll make this
my last statement. We we lost a

1471
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:54,570
large economy a Cummings a few
maybe a few months ago a month

1472
01:37:54,570 --> 01:38:00,810
ago. And we heard the tragic
news. Yes about his name slips

1473
01:38:00,810 --> 01:38:08,850
my mind now. He has pancreatic
doppelganger. What's his name?

1474
01:38:10,620 --> 01:38:14,700
Oh, you this is you shouldn't
have done this. Lewis Lewis

1475
01:38:14,790 --> 01:38:18,870
Lewis. Lewis, John Lewis, John
Lewis. Damn. So it was only a

1476
01:38:18,870 --> 01:38:21,120
shell. But you don't have to
remember that. It's not

1477
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:21,540
important.

1478
01:38:22,620 --> 01:38:26,940
But I want to point out that
people are being getting sick.

1479
01:38:27,030 --> 01:38:31,380
Exactly. Exactly. Stage four
pancreatic cancer

1480
01:38:33,660 --> 01:38:37,650
this that they're seeking to
Congressman that may have been

1481
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:40,080
heavy anti Trump errs,

1482
01:38:40,950 --> 01:38:44,910
have calling him a racist,
calling him a racist dad. And

1483
01:38:44,910 --> 01:38:50,670
the other one is, has a severe,
severe illness. And how many

1484
01:38:50,700 --> 01:38:59,400
other talk media people have
been announced. So you

1485
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:03,870
know, this is so interesting.
I've been talking about this

1486
01:39:03,870 --> 01:39:07,080
being unhealthy for so long. And
I and you just brought it up

1487
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:15,330
again. And I think that we are
now into year four of of this.

1488
01:39:15,390 --> 01:39:20,430
And it's I think identified
early on, certainly people who

1489
01:39:20,430 --> 01:39:23,100
hate Trump when no matter what
their political affiliation.

1490
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:28,170
They started swearing and
cussing more on TV and radio and

1491
01:39:28,170 --> 01:39:31,650
podcasts. Just Yes. And it's
popping out and it's like, ooh,

1492
01:39:31,650 --> 01:39:34,980
ah, and it's become a little
more okay. And, and I always saw

1493
01:39:34,980 --> 01:39:38,250
that as incredible. If you can't
hold that back in a in a

1494
01:39:38,250 --> 01:39:41,100
situation where it's not
appropriate on the show. It's

1495
01:39:41,100 --> 01:39:45,600
appropriate, you know, we don't
overuse anything. But on

1496
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:49,290
television, cable news is not
appropriate. And when you can't

1497
01:39:49,290 --> 01:39:53,760
hold that in it, then you've got
stuff rooted very deeply. And

1498
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:57,270
when you hold that in, and
you're holding that for years, I

1499
01:39:57,270 --> 01:40:00,300
think you and I'm going to keep
track of this, too. People are

1500
01:40:00,300 --> 01:40:04,530
going to start dropping, it's
these old guys first. And they

1501
01:40:04,710 --> 01:40:07,770
can see the young with aging,
you can see them aging right

1502
01:40:07,770 --> 01:40:12,000
before your eyes. And the reason
why I'm bringing this up is the

1503
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:16,170
V for V, the value for value,
even if you think we're two

1504
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:21,960
idiots this babbling along, what
we try to do is this. We laugh,

1505
01:40:22,830 --> 01:40:27,720
you know, we, we want to talk
people down off the ledge, well,

1506
01:40:27,750 --> 01:40:33,120
well get providing some
educational value. So if you

1507
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:35,820
don't take anything away from
the show, too, but to laugh

1508
01:40:35,820 --> 01:40:39,480
about the things that we talk
about, or do, you know, just

1509
01:40:39,510 --> 01:40:43,770
have a little fun for a couple
hours? You know, that's the

1510
01:40:43,770 --> 01:40:46,200
value that I hope that we
provide, if nothing else, if you

1511
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:47,610
don't take anything else away
from the show.

1512
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:51,720
And what we'd like to ask for in
return is that you consider

1513
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,570
returning some of that value is
actually a very simple exercise.

1514
01:40:54,780 --> 01:40:56,700
So like, shall you've been
listening to this for about an

1515
01:40:56,700 --> 01:41:00,600
hour and a half a little bit
longer? What is your time worth

1516
01:41:00,630 --> 01:41:03,540
that? If you go see a movie,
it's about we're about the

1517
01:41:03,540 --> 01:41:06,510
length of a movie. And you come
away from this learning

1518
01:41:06,510 --> 01:41:12,300
something and you still laughed.
Please consider us at mo fund

1519
01:41:12,300 --> 01:41:18,900
me.com mov fund me.com. Mo fi mo
facts.com is our, our our main

1520
01:41:18,900 --> 01:41:23,340
website. And Mo, I think you've
set everybody up for perfect

1521
01:41:23,340 --> 01:41:29,460
2020. I'd like to ask you one
question before we go having

1522
01:41:29,490 --> 01:41:32,160
having Sure. No, I haven't gone
through this journey with you.

1523
01:41:33,450 --> 01:41:37,590
Do you think this is the year
that the block regardless of

1524
01:41:37,590 --> 01:41:45,210
what happens? The black block B
to B squared? realizes realizes

1525
01:41:45,480 --> 01:41:49,860
what power it has? Will the is
this realization going to be

1526
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:51,540
mainstream enough?

1527
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:57,330
I think it only takes a certain
percentage. And then the rest of

1528
01:41:57,330 --> 01:42:01,260
the block blocker follows. So we
are saying that is if you can

1529
01:42:01,260 --> 01:42:09,990
get 20 to 25% to realize it,
then the rest will go along. And

1530
01:42:09,990 --> 01:42:16,080
that's very and I think we're
reaching that nexus point of

1531
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:19,170
because you're hearing the
different groups have these

1532
01:42:19,170 --> 01:42:23,670
conversations you're hearing it
come from the the conservative

1533
01:42:23,670 --> 01:42:32,100
side, the super woke millennial
side of the the I'm not going to

1534
01:42:32,100 --> 01:42:36,120
vote unless I get some tangible
side, which I wish I'm a part

1535
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:40,860
of. We're all coming to the same
point from different angles. And

1536
01:42:40,890 --> 01:42:45,600
I think once we get there and we
see the results of it,

1537
01:42:46,020 --> 01:42:47,940
somebody's gonna have to come
talk to us.

1538
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:52,650
Yeah, and I think for me, for
me, it'll be interesting to see

1539
01:42:52,650 --> 01:42:57,630
not whether you'll see a block
vote for Democrats or with

1540
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:02,910
withheld vote. I think I think
we may even see withheld vote,

1541
01:43:03,210 --> 01:43:06,600
or something goes to Trump. I
think that's where it may be.

1542
01:43:08,130 --> 01:43:09,690
Because if we hit that

1543
01:43:09,690 --> 01:43:18,030
55% mark of the low all time low
50 55% Mark is Open Season for

1544
01:43:18,030 --> 01:43:22,470
the blog. Now could I entertain?
Can I make one suggestion? Sure.

1545
01:43:22,500 --> 01:43:28,710
Instead of withholding I mean,
the tangible is a free pony from

1546
01:43:28,710 --> 01:43:32,970
the guy with the Buddha on his
head vermin supreme. Right?

1547
01:43:33,030 --> 01:43:37,770
Because he's promising everybody
a pony. That may be maybe it's a

1548
01:43:37,770 --> 01:43:41,070
tangible that may be a guy to
vote for. I have voted for him

1549
01:43:41,070 --> 01:43:45,000
in the past. So I just like you
to consider that. Who is this

1550
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:49,620
guy? You've never heard of
vermin supreme? No, he's a real

1551
01:43:49,620 --> 01:43:55,110
candidate. He wears some boots
on his head and promises

1552
01:43:55,110 --> 01:43:58,620
everybody a pony. He runs every
year. He's a great candidate to

1553
01:43:58,620 --> 01:43:59,280
vote for.

1554
01:43:59,820 --> 01:44:02,310
Well, he thought 40 acres and
with a pony he might have.

1555
01:44:04,380 --> 01:44:08,910
Alright, everybody have a have a
great, a great New Year Mo was

1556
01:44:08,940 --> 01:44:14,880
fantastic. This show has made my
year. Fantastic. I love the work

1557
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:17,730
you do. I love working with you.
And I can't wait until our next

1558
01:44:17,730 --> 01:44:18,870
show and 2020

1559
01:44:19,260 --> 01:44:24,780
show 20 The first show of 2020
just let that soak in. And as I

1560
01:44:24,780 --> 01:44:28,620
always say, pay attention to
everything and the truth will

1561
01:44:28,620 --> 01:44:29,430
reveal itself.

1562
01:44:30,150 --> 01:44:33,450
I'll talk to you next year. Mo
Alright, see you next year.

1563
01:44:33,750 --> 01:44:39,630
Remember mo facts.com Bye
everybody. No, you don't. And

1564
01:44:39,630 --> 01:44:46,980
there may be someone else. As I
sit alone knowing what I should

1565
01:44:46,980 --> 01:45:00,690
do. I can't stay away. I can
stay away from you. Know I can

1566
01:45:00,690 --> 01:47:02,370
stay and that's the way it ought
to be You. You always wondered

1567
01:47:02,370 --> 01:47:10,770
fine. Do I have as you asked you
with me you've been so
