00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Sad bab Welcome, Welcome, welcome to the second hour of

2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>the program, live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois,

3
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>where we are day two of the Democratic National Convention,

4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>and I am pleased as much. We're gonna do a

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>little inside baseball right now because joining me now, Morgan

6
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 1>would is the White House correspondent for the Black Information.

7
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Network on iHeart Property or Project.

8
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And I gotta tell you, Morgan, first of all, how

9
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>good is that theme song? She was over here dancing

10
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>on the stage with me too. A listener made that

11
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 1>from being ignorant.

12
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Said, may I absolutely love that.

13
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Same what we did for exactly So, Morgan, I am

14
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>fascinated by the entire concept of being a White House

15
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 1>correspondent because as a nerd for the news, I watch

16
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>all these things on you know, on TV. Can you

17
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 1>tell me just as a day okay, as a White

18
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>House correspondent, what is your day like?

19
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a bunch of hurry up and wait. I

20
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>can tell you that much.

21
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I started out my very first event was with this administration,

22
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 3>the Biden Harris administration, and my first event that I

23
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 3>got invited to was the Juneteenth Proclamation. So as you

24
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 3>can imagine, working for the Black Information Network. That is

25
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 3>a huge issue, or it was a huge, huge issue

26
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>for the black community. So it was great to show

27
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 3>up to that and see that Biden then and work

28
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 3>to turn that into a federal holiday. So a day

29
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 3>in the life of a White House correspondent. Of course,

30
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 3>we're getting up and we've got all these different types

31
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 3>of information that we need to send a secret service

32
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 3>to vet us before we can even get to every day.

33
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, oh my gosh, yeah, the other And trust

34
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>me that security measures are different every day.

35
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>You might come in one gate one day.

36
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Another gate another day, depending on what the event is

37
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and getting there it could be like a hurry up

38
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 3>and wait.

39
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>And now.

40
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I just want to put it out there for the

41
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>ladies and maybe the guys who like to.

42
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Wear heels, Yeah, don't wear them. I noted that today

43
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>we did the R and C coverage too, and there

44
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of women in sky heels and all

45
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 1>was like, precious. I don't think that's a good idea.

46
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>The DNC women got the NEMO right, like, there's sensible

47
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 1>shoes in this place.

48
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>No pun intended.

49
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 3>You want to put your best foot forward, but you

50
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 3>know what, it's it's yeah, just don't do it. Your

51
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 3>dogs are going to be barking by the end of

52
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 3>the day. And frankly, you know, it's comfy, cozy, but

53
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 3>at the same time professional.

54
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, is it almost like a little fraternity all

55
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 1>the people that are in that room that are there

56
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>on a daily basis.

57
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Whose job it is to be a White House correspondent? Yeah?

58
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, well it depends on who you're working for, Okay, yeah, yeah,

59
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 3>for the most part, all of the press we tend

60
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 3>to work together. You know, if you're in the front row,

61
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, you might want to move out the way,

62
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 3>and we work together to make sure that everybody gets

63
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 3>their coverage it is respectable.

64
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you decide what question because normally if you

65
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>get a question, you get one, maybe you get a

66
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>follow up. You're not getting an interview with the with

67
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the spokesperson. How do you decide what is your lead question?

68
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 1>What are you going to go with?

69
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, that depends on excuse me, what your listenership

70
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 3>or for us will be listeners, what's important to them.

71
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 3>You want to definitely cover what is important to your

72
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 3>audience base. And I think that's what each journalist has

73
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity to do from that White House?

74
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Have you, as you're rather new to this administration. I

75
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>know that there are people who have covered multiple administrations

76
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 1>at White House Press Corps. What have you heard from

77
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>them about the differences between the administrations and are they

78
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>happy with the accessibility of the Biden Harris administration obviously

79
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden, Pryor and now Kamala Harris as the candidate.

80
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Is that a different You're not covering the campaign though,

81
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>are you? After I said that, I'm like, wait a minute, no,

82
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>not so much. Well, I am covering well, we're covering

83
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it all. We're gonna go it all. We're gonna cover DNC,

84
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna cover them on the campaign trail. We're covering

85
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 1>walls as he does his stops as well. We're covering

86
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm covering j d Vance and Trump too.

87
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 3>So it's just a matter of gathering all the information

88
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 3>to make sure that the listener is well informed.

89
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 1>Right now, do you guys have to camp out in

90
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>that room and just wait for somebody to show up?

91
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>More or less?

92
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that press room, that press briefing room is definitely

93
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 3>a home base, and it's kind of small in there,

94
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 3>but you know, it's like you said, it's intimate, it's cozy,

95
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 3>and we get to know each other. Yeah.

96
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, have you ever asked a question and you

97
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 2>were like, oh my god, that was the best question

98
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 2>and best.

99
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Answer I've ever gotten. Have you ever looked back on

100
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>something that you're like, nailed it?

101
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Hmmm? I think any question is a good question, honestly.

102
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, jeez, anything that provides information to the listener

103
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 3>is a good question.

104
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I would say, do you feel like, do you get

105
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think of a way to ask this

106
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 1>And this is not necessarily about a democratic administration. This

107
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 1>is just years of watching spokespeople. Is it frustrating when

108
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>you're asking a direct question and not getting a direct answer?

109
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of politics. Absolutely.

110
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 3>You know, we know that people are trained media trains

111
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 3>who answer questions certain ways, and if they're not getting

112
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 3>or giving you the answer, then yeah, you might want

113
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 3>to ask it a different way and see what happens.

114
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>But the yeah, you just got to roll with the punches.

115
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 3>It is a bunch of hurry up and wait. It

116
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 3>is a bunch of uh, you know, maybe I'll get

117
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 3>that later. Maybe we can send that in an email and

118
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 3>they can send a quote back or something to that effect.

119
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's it's pretty dynamic. It's never one way

120
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>and it's just gonna stay that way.

121
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>It's very dynamic.

122
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 3>To be a White House correspondent got to be flexible.

123
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>When you started your career in journalism, Was this on

124
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>your radar?

125
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:21.800
<v Speaker 2>What?

126
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm born and raised in the DC area and absolutely

127
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.000
<v Speaker 3>not politics, but no, But I will tell you this.

128
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 3>I feel like this is a divine task. And I

129
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 3>do think we are in a pivotal time and if

130
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 3>not me, then who why not?

131
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 2>I totally agree with that.

132
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's hard when you don't necessarily see yourself

133
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>in that role. When you do have that role to go,

134
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute now, somebody else is looking at me

135
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>as an inspirational and aspirational thing to do.

136
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And as I've been covering the White House and

137
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 3>continuing to cover the White House, I have noticed that, you.

138
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Know, actually this is really important. I like this.

139
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 3>I enjoy the different aspects because everybody wants to come

140
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 3>to the White House, athletes, musicians, other politicians, and everybody

141
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 3>loves being there. So and I was gonna say, it

142
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 3>probably doesn't matter what the administration is I don't know,

143
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 3>but the bottom line is it's one of those staple

144
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 3>locations that you never forget your visit there.

145
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of people wonder how much do you.

146
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Do the reporters, like what kind of base knowledge do

147
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>you have about a topic?

148
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is something that I've seen in action where

149
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 1>you can tell immediately that this is the reporter's subject.

150
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I mean? Like, you have subjects

151
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>that you're really.

152
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Passionate about, how much time or how much effort and

153
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 1>energy do you put into making sure you have a

154
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 1>basic understanding of a subject before you go in.

155
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 2>And ask questions about it.

156
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, definitely doing my research and making sure, but also

157
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 3>keeping it a little surface because the average person is

158
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 3>not doing a deep dive, you know, So the average

159
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 3>person wants to get at least surface information and then

160
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 3>if I'm able to provide them with that, maybe they

161
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 3>will be inspired to deep dive themselves. And that's what

162
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:06.920
<v Speaker 3>it's about.

163
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>That's what I tell people all the time. I'm not

164
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 1>here to tell you what to think. I'm here to

165
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>inspire you to find out more. Yes, reasons for sure

166
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>you go. Are there any topics that you gravitate towards personally.

167
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, of course we're working for the black information that worked,

168
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 3>anything that impacts the black community.

169
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>And I absolutely love sports. So oh so did you

170
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>come from a sports background?

171
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh? Yeah, Actually, well if you if you consider cheerleading

172
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 3>a sport, which I.

173
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Do as a former cheerleader myself. Oh I do consider

174
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>cheerleading a sport, so just hand right, Yeah, absolutely.

175
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 3>I have enjoyed covering various things like the Kansas City

176
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 3>Chief's White House visits. Oh I bet they've had a

177
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 3>few of them.

178
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>So don't even really cool cost fans over here, so

179
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 1>do not. Well, the Ravens fan over here is okay too,

180
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 1>So you know you have your Super Bowl from when

181
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Trent Dilfer was president or a quarterback there. What are

182
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 1>some of the things that you would like to see

183
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>come out of this convention? What are some of the

184
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>topics or conversations that you are looking for to either

185
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 1>do a story about or.

186
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Bring back to your listeners.

187
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, gun reform has been a huge one. I've seen

188
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.439
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people talking about gun reform. Of course,

189
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 3>women's reproductive rights has been a top ticket issue. Sheesh,

190
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 3>the list can go on and on. Voting rates of course.

191
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.279
<v Speaker 1>And I'm wondering, like how much space there is, if any,

192
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>because you're looking at your audience saying, I want to

193
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>bring them stuff that's.

194
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Important to them.

195
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>But I wonder how much daylight there is between white people,

196
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Hispanic people, black people.

197
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, Like it seems like all

198
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 2>of these.

199
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Issues, Oh, it impacts us all. To be honest, absolutely,

200
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 3>it does impact us all. But for example, you know,

201
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 3>going back to my first, very first visit the Juneteenth Proclamation,

202
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 3>obviously that was one.

203
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>That impacted the black community.

204
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>Of black community was ecstatic to see that that became

205
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 3>a federal holiday. And so, you know, it's nice to

206
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.639
<v Speaker 3>see those type of things after so long of you know,

207
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 3>nothing right that there is actual progress being made. And

208
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.679
<v Speaker 3>then the following year there was an amazing June Seemed

209
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 3>concert that was put on on the White House South Lawn,

210
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.720
<v Speaker 3>and so just to see that that celebration is scaling, right.

211
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, we've had conversations about June tenth on the show,

212
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we have some listeners who are like,

213
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>we need another federal holiday because not everybody gets off

214
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>a federal holiday. But for me, that is a celebration

215
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>of that everyone in this company country should share because

216
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>we're celebrating a horrible thing that ended, right, I mean,

217
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>how that should for me, should be a celebration for everyone.

218
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, the end of slavery and the actual end of

219
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 3>slavery should certainly be celebrated and celebrated amongst everyone.

220
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, Morgan, what I mean? Do you did you?

221
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>We asked you if you wanted to do this, but

222
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>what did you aspire to do when you got into journalism?

223
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Initially, oh man.

224
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 3>Sports sideline reporting or something to that effect.

225
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>But I definitely think i'd.

226
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Lied reporting for the biggest game in the.

227
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>World, Like this is quite the sideline.

228
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm not mad at it. It's Trump versus Harris. So yeah,

229
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 3>let's see, you know, who wins matchup.

230
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, see who's got more jerseys out there? And what

231
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>comes next?

232
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely?

233
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Have you had a chance to interview anyone that you

234
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>find particularly interesting in this this.

235
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.919
<v Speaker 3>So just before I came on with you, I just

236
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 3>spoke with Martin Luther King Junior the third and that

237
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 3>was so cool. And of course he talked about voting rights,

238
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 3>He talked about gun reform and gun violence, which of

239
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 3>course impacted his family you know, his father, Martin Luther King,

240
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 3>was shot, and he also explained that his grandmother was

241
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 3>also shot, So who knew that, you know, gun violence

242
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 3>had impacted the family on such a vast level. But yeah,

243
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 3>I think he is a very dynamic person. His wife

244
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 3>was amazing, and she spoke to me about women's reproductive rights.

245
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.039
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, again, anybody can get behind these issues. And yeah,

246
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.120
<v Speaker 3>well it's gonna be.

247
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>An interesting conversation to have throughout the election cycle. Morgan Wood,
