1
00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six.

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Forty KFI AM six forty, It's Later with mo Kelly.

4
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.119
<v Speaker 2>We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. As it's night

5
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>three of the DNC. We'll be bouncing in and out

6
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 2>and we're on the watch and all the lookout for

7
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Governor Tim Walls, who will be officially accepting the nomination

8
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 2>for vice president tonight, so we will have his speech.

9
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 2>You heard Mark Runner earlier with an excerpt from the

10
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 2>former President Bill Clinton, who spoke earlier.

11
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 3>In the evening.

12
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>And I would say this schedule tonight has been more

13
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>on schedule.

14
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 3>They've been moving through the speakers.

15
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned that because the last two nights they were

16
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>way over both nights, less so last night, but.

17
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Way way way over Monday night.

18
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>So it seems they've pared down the schedule for tonight

19
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and the speakers have a shorter amount of time because

20
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>they're really moving through the schedule. And I'm guessing that

21
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Governor Walls may hit the stage in the.

22
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 3>Next forty five minutes or so.

23
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm just guessing there might be some musical performances they're

24
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 2>on the schedule, but it doesn't mean that they won't

25
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 2>get cut somewhere along the way. And and Twalla did

26
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 2>just said that Oprah Winfrey was also speaking.

27
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Oprah Winfrey is supposed to be going up soon.

28
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Actually I think she was supposed to be next. But

29
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 4>then it seems like maybe they had to shovel some

30
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 4>things around because they just had Kamala Harris's brother in

31
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 4>law on.

32
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's what that was.

33
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 4>A second Yeah, okay, well yeah, they you know when

34
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 4>something's not on when they just said coming up next

35
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 4>is Oprah Winfrey and it's not right.

36
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So it's a real fluid schedule, and we'll have

37
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Governor Walls's speech, but there's some other business we have

38
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>to tend to here in California. You might have heard

39
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 2>me speaking with Tim Conway Junior about San Bernardino County

40
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 2>and let me just give you some of the background

41
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>what is happening there. San Bernardino County voters, you may remember,

42
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 2>narrowly approved Measure EE and that was about two years ago. Yeah,

43
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>it was in twenty twenty two, and it authorized the

44
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 2>county government to explore the idea of seceding from the

45
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>state of California. This was connected to the idea that

46
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>the county was not getting its fair share of state resources.

47
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>San Bernardino County, Okay, or as I call it, San Bernissippi.

48
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 2>This week, what I like that you have River Tucky

49
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>in San Bernissippi. You'll see why in just a moment.

50
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>This week, the county government revealed the results of a

51
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>study conducted by the Blue Sky consulting group that shows

52
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the county get this, actually receives nine percent more state

53
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>funding per person than other counties statewide. And to me,

54
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 2>it makes perfect sense because San Bernardino County is probably

55
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>not producing the amount of state income tax the other

56
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>counties are producing. And this is what fourth District Supervisor

57
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Kurt Hagman said for San Bernardino County. Quote, the truth

58
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>is in the numbers, and we're able to show in

59
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>most cases, or about fifty percent of the cases, we're

60
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>as in San Bernardino County, we're getting our fair share

61
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>by population or maybe a little more by population.

62
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Clothes quote, and.

63
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>It goes on, we're not getting our fair share for

64
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>homeless in the county because the formula they use is

65
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>based on large cities. So even though we're the sixth

66
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 2>largest as in county in California by population. We're not

67
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 2>getting that because we don't have a city with more

68
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 2>than three hundred thousand people in it.

69
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

70
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>And also according to Blue Sky study, oh here it

71
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>is quote, tax revenues generated in San Bernardino County are

72
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>likely less than half the revenues generated statewide. Now, I

73
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>understand you may not want to be connected to California.

74
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>You may not like the crime, you may not like

75
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the trash, you may not like the whole persona, you

76
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>may not like what California feels like. But let's see

77
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>this through to its logical conclusion. All right, let's do

78
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>a thought experiment. Let's say hypothetically San Bernardino word to

79
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>secede from the state of California.

80
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Then what then what do you become?

81
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you become Puerto Rico and you just kind of

82
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 2>govern yourself because you're not getting any revenue from the state.

83
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>You're not getting any help from the state. When there's flooding, right,

84
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's a fire, some sort of disaster. State

85
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>can't help you.

86
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Puerto Rico got paper towels, right, But again that

87
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 5>high velocity, by the way.

88
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 3>They had to go to the federal government for that.

89
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 3>That's true. Same thing here. You know, if you have

90
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 3>a problem with immigration, good luck. I'm being serious.

91
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 2>It's not like you can go to the state because

92
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 2>you don't have control over the border.

93
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I just don't know how this is supposed to work out.

94
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Didn't we find a what's the word I'm looking for? Oh?

95
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, a war over that kind of thing once we did.

96
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I think they called it the Civil War. Oh yeah, yeah.

97
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>The idea of secession may sound real sexy, but the

98
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 2>realistic implementation not at all, not on a state level,

99
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>not on a city level, not on a county level.

100
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

101
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And yet it's easy to put it on the ballot

102
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>and people want to say, yeah, let's just go ahead

103
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>and seceed. But I don't know if people have really

104
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 2>thought through what that means. If you were actually successful,

105
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you love that state money, trust me. When it comes

106
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>to schools, putting students in schools and the money you

107
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>get for your public schools because you have actual students,

108
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 2>all that's gone gone. All the money that you get

109
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>from the state on any level gone. I don't know

110
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>how that's This would be a better option. You know,

111
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>if you feel like you're not getting your fair share,

112
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>all right, then that means you get Put this way,

113
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 2>my mother told me a long time ago, you can

114
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 2>get a little bit of something, or you can get

115
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>all of nothing. And if you get all of nothing

116
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>because you've seceded from the state of California, I don't

117
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 2>know how that's a better option. But as it turns out,

118
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>you are getting more than your fair share. Now, maybe

119
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>you want to reapportion some of the money where it goes,

120
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's allocated for homelessness as opposed to something else.

121
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Have that discussion. But if you think that San Bernardino

122
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 2>County can make it with its own industry, you know,

123
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 2>it's not like you get any of the money from

124
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Silicon Valley anymore. It's not like that. If you think

125
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 2>that San Bernardino County produces enough of anything where you

126
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>can survive on your own state income tax, good luck.

127
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 4>Toll roads. That's how they can make their money, toll

128
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 4>roads to.

129
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Get through Oh yeah, okay, but they're just taxing themselves.

130
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>It's not like they're getting money from elsewhere, you know

131
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>what I mean.

132
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.720
<v Speaker 4>You're you're just not saying like so the like say,

133
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 4>if we need to drive through San Bernardinas for.

134
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 3>What to stop you there? I mean like, it's just

135
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 3>it's an easier route than going how many time you

136
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 3>driven through San Bernissippi? Well, I mean, look, not often.

137
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying.

138
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking, like, if they charge us to drive through,

139
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 4>like people who are going to River Tucky.

140
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 2>I will stop at the border and yell across, Hey, Tawala,

141
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>come see me in Orange County.

142
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I know they're pro San Diego County, probably going

143
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 4>to entice Elon Musk to move Tesla to the state

144
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 4>of San Bernissippill good luck soon.

145
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm trying to think it through. No, Look,

146
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>it would be for them to figure out. It's not

147
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 2>for us to solve their problems. But for now, Sand

148
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Bernissippi is not going anywhere. It's Later with mo Kelly

00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.920

00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 3>It's like, wait a minute, Stevie Wonder was supposed to

<v Speaker 4>out there.

162
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 3>He killed it. How did I miss it?

163
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 6>No?

164
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.000

168
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>artists of all time. He just doesn't sound that good.

169
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Live, I believe from looking at the response from the crowd.

170
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 3>He had it up.

171
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.720

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 3>It was a lot happening. Okay to Wallop. You produced

174
00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 3>a concert.

175
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.759
<v Speaker 2>This is true. Okay, this is true. Story time, Cas,

176
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>You produced a concert. It was the Beat Summer Jam. Yes,

177
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and there was one year. I can't remember what year

178
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 2>it was. I just know I was there the year

179
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 2>that Stevie Wonder closed the show.

180
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it was the year that we had Little Kim

181
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 4>on the show. And instead of Little Kim being the headliner,

182
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.360
<v Speaker 4>Steve Harvey, who was new to our station, wanted to

183
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 4>show us young people what real music was. And he said,

184
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 4>do I have an act for you all coming up

185
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 4>at the end of this show, okay, And he kept

186
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 4>promoting it on the radio, kept talking about it, hyping

187
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.879
<v Speaker 4>it up. And I'm the stage manager, okay. So Little

188
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 4>Kim is on and she's killing it because it's Little Kim, right.

189
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 4>This is preyday in our heyday, and the crowd is

190
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 4>and it was a secret you.

191
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 3>No one knew who the act was.

192
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 4>And Steve Harvey's on stage and he's bringing buy these days,

203
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 4>and you just hear.

204
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And you yeah, no, no, look I have a different

205
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 2>vanished point.

206
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 3>I was walking.

207
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Out right after that announcement, and half the venue started walking.

208
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 8>Out and Look, I'm on the stage and I'm watching

209
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 8>all of these people leaving, and I'm look, and I'm

210
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 8>looking over Steve Harvey and he has the angriest look

211
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 8>on his face and he's just fuel me.

212
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, at least Stevie didn't see it. And that was

213
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 3>the joke. Damn mo man.

214
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but see, I've heard Stevie Wonder perform on to

215
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.159
<v Speaker 2>say three or four times, yes, and each time that

216
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I've seen him live, he has been far less than spectacular.

217
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what it is. I don't know if

218
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:08.679
<v Speaker 3>it's an age thing.

219
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's he doesn't care as much anymore,

220
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.919
<v Speaker 2>but he does not sound great live anymore. The last

221
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 2>time I saw him, I think you yeah, you were there.

222
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 2>It was unfortunately for a funeral. Cliff Winston, who used

223
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.639
<v Speaker 2>to be the program director for kg LH one or

224
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 2>two point three FM.

225
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 3>He didn't sound good there either. No, No, he did not. No,

226
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:31.960
<v Speaker 3>he did not.

227
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 4>That wasn't that wasn't. Look I okay. One time we

228
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 4>had Stevie Wonder to come into the station and he

229
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 4>performed live for Steve Harvey and the crew, and he

230
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 4>was phenomenal, just him and his keyboard and he was great, Okay,

231
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 4>And I think in the right circumstances, you get prime

232
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 4>Stevie Wonder. Now I'm just looking at the screen and

233
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 4>people were up on their feet and they were dancing,

234
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 4>were doing it, and they were loving it. And I

235
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 4>think it was maybe a thing of respect because he

236
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>is the eighth Wonder of the world. He's Stevie Wonder,

237
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:12.480
<v Speaker 4>one of the greatest musicians songwriters ever, right, And I

238
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.759
<v Speaker 4>think it's just it's a thing of respect to have

239
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Stevie Wonder up there. And I think that's why he's

240
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 4>not closing because of what you're saying about his performance

241
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.840
<v Speaker 4>as of late, because you have John Legend supposed to

242
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 4>be closing if they're on time.

243
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well John Legend is supposed to perform. What is

244
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.159
<v Speaker 2>going to perform ordinary people?

245
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 4>No, no, No, there'll probably be you know, one of

246
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 4>his more rousing songs. He has a couple of let's

247
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 4>have powerful songs. Yeah, he has very rousing songs, very rousing.

248
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 4>I thought they'd get like childish Gambino This is America.

249
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.840
<v Speaker 4>That'd be probably be on another night, maybe on Thursday. Okay,

250
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 4>you want to end with fire, you don't want to

251
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 4>get a fire right now.

252
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I'm just look, you have a lot

253
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 2>of talent to choose from. I'm just very surprised to

254
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 2>see Stevie Wonder performing the DNC.

255
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 4>There reaching their reaching to different audiences, because yesterday they

256
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 4>had Patty LaBelle Open Up. You know, so it's like

257
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.840
<v Speaker 4>they're trying to have two different audiences. Tonight you got

258
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.919
<v Speaker 4>John Legend and you've got Chili, you know, different generations,

259
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:15.559
<v Speaker 4>trying to make sure you're talking to everyone.

260
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Sheila E is performing. Oh okay, I got it.

261
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Governor Walls, Minnesota, Sheila E from Minnesota.

262
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 3>Both gammorous lid. Yes, okay, yes, Mark, you've mairied with Sheila.

263
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

264
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 5>If they play crush Groove at the DNC, the reporters,

265
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.279
<v Speaker 5>the reporters will finally get the riot they want.

266
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Wait a minute, wait a minute, what do you do

267
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.600
<v Speaker 3>about crush Groove? Nothing? Nothing, I'm half white, remember, okay,

268
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 3>so you know half of it? Yeah, that's okay.

269
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.559
<v Speaker 2>That was a deep cut as far as music, I'm

270
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>surprised that they would reach for Sheila E. Love Sheile.

271
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 2>I get what they're doing with the whole Minnesota connection.

272
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I'm surprised, not that they could call

273
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 2>prints or anything. I'm surprised they didn't go, like more

274
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Stay in the Time. He's still around too, he.

275
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Is, he's been on this show.

276
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Whoa, Yeah, yes, he still's got it. He stills, he

277
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.519
<v Speaker 2>still still has it. Yeah, well he's no Shatner, but

278
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I am jealous of that. No, no, no, no, he

279
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>he he came on the show. We did an hour

280
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.440
<v Speaker 2>long conversation, went through all the songs all. A matter

281
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>of fact, I think I'm going to post that as

282
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>far as the great conversations, classic conversations and legend conversations.

283
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a great one.

284
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 2>He was in a great mood and we just we

285
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>talked about all of his career, even talked a little

286
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 2>bit about Prince as well. How many songs are there though, honestly,

287
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you mean more Staying in the Time. Yeah, I want

288
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 2>to say maybe ten to twelve off the top of

289
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.120
<v Speaker 2>my head. Well, that exceeds my knowledge of more States

290
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 2>the Time, The Bird of course, Jungle Love, see a.

297
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Does it sound different or better when he does it?

298
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.159

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 3>yes we do, because he's pulling it up right now.

303
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Now we're up against the clock. Now, we are up

304
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 3>against the clock.

305
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>But I'm going to wait. It's called host privilege. Hurry up, Stephan, Yeah,

306
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Mars Day, he has it. I would say ten to

307
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>twelve if I actually thought about it all.

308
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 3>I like him. I just don't know all this stuff,

309
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.279
<v Speaker 3>all right, do you know who? What's that spell?

310
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 7>No?

311
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.279
<v Speaker 3>I think you better do that you first than the

312
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:47.000
<v Speaker 3>actual song.

313
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 8>See.

314
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh eh, what's the secret to that falsetto? By

315
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.399
<v Speaker 3>the way, is it? Is it in the underwear?

316
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:55.919
<v Speaker 7>No?

317
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no no no, I'm had to make it weird.

318
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.759
<v Speaker 3>No no, no, I'm not mocking you. I would never

319
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:04.039
<v Speaker 3>do that.

320
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.879
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from

321
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

<v Speaker 2>I Am six forty is Later with Mo Kelly We're

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.320
<v Speaker 2>live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

324
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's drop into the DNC and listen to Oprah Winfrey.

325
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:25.200
<v Speaker 6>And what we're gonna do is elect Kamada Harris as

326
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 6>the next President.

327
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 9>Of the United States.

328
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 7>I am so honored to have been asked to speak

329
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.960
<v Speaker 7>on tonight's theme about what matters most to me, to

330
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 7>you and all of us Americans.

331
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Freedom.

332
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.600
<v Speaker 7>There are people who want you to see our country

333
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 7>as a nation of us against them, people who want

334
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:05.240
<v Speaker 7>to scare you, who want to rule you, people who'd

335
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 7>have you believe that books are dangerous and assault rifles

336
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 7>are safe, that there's a right way to worship and.

337
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 9>A wrong way to love.

338
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.839
<v Speaker 7>People who seek first to divide and then to conquer.

339
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 7>But here's the thing, when we stand together, it is

340
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 7>impossible to conquer us.

341
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Did Opos say what I thought?

342
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:33.640
<v Speaker 5>She said?

343
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:43.559
<v Speaker 7>In the words of an extraordinary American, the late Congressman

344
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:52.839
<v Speaker 7>John Lewis, He said, no matter what ship our ancestors

345
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.559
<v Speaker 7>arrived on, we are all in the same boat. Now,

346
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:05.000
<v Speaker 7>Congressman very well, how far this country has come. Because

347
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:07.720
<v Speaker 7>he was one of the brilliant Americans who helped to

348
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 7>get us where we are. But he also knew that

349
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.039
<v Speaker 7>the work is not done. The work will never be

350
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 7>done because freedom isn't free. America is an ongoing project.

351
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 7>It requires commitment, It requires being open to the hard

352
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 7>work and the heart work of democracy, and every now

353
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:40.319
<v Speaker 7>and then, it requires standing up to life's bullies. I

354
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:40.720
<v Speaker 7>know this.

355
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:43.480
<v Speaker 9>I've lived in.

356
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 7>Mississippi, in Tennessee, in Wisconsin, Maryland.

357
00:18:49.799 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 6>Indiana, Florida, Hawaii, Colorado, California, and and Sweet Home Chicago, Illinois.

358
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 7>I have actually traveled this country from the Redwood Forest

359
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:24.160
<v Speaker 7>loved those redwoods to the Gulf Stream waters. I've seen

360
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 7>racism and sexism, and income inequality and division. I've not

361
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:33.359
<v Speaker 7>only seen it at times, I've been on the receiving

362
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.880
<v Speaker 7>end of it. But more often than not, what I've

363
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 7>witnessed and experienced are human beings, both conservative and liberal,

364
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.000
<v Speaker 7>who may not agree with each other, but who'd still

365
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:49.960
<v Speaker 7>help you in a heartbeat if you are in trouble.

366
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 7>These are the people who make me proud to say

367
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 7>that I am an American.

368
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:06.359
<v Speaker 9>They are the best of America. And despite what some

369
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:11.960
<v Speaker 9>would have you think, we are not so different from

370
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:12.559
<v Speaker 9>our neighbors.

371
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.519
<v Speaker 7>When a house is on fire, we don't ask about

372
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:17.480
<v Speaker 7>the homeowner's race or religion.

373
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 9>We don't wonder who their partner is or how they

374
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 9>vote it. No, we just try to do the best

375
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 9>we can to save them.

376
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 7>And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat.

377
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Lady, well.

378
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 9>We try to get that cat out too.

379
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.599
<v Speaker 7>Because we are a country of people who work hard

380
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.319
<v Speaker 7>for the money. We wish our others and sisters well,

381
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:04.480
<v Speaker 7>and we pray for peace. We know all the old

382
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 7>tricks and tropes.

383
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 9>That are designed to distract us.

384
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 7>From what actually matters, but we are beyond ridiculous tweets

385
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 7>and lies and foolery. These are complicated times, people, and

386
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:28.880
<v Speaker 7>they require adult conversation, and I welcome those conversations because

387
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 7>civilized debate is vital to democracy and it is the

388
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 7>best of America.

389
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 9>Now, over the last couple of nights, we have all.

390
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.599
<v Speaker 7>Seen brave people walk onto the stage and share their

391
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:47.720
<v Speaker 7>most private pain.

392
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 9>Amanda and Josh Caitlin Hadley.

393
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.519
<v Speaker 7>They told us their stories of rape and incest and

394
00:21:55.680 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 7>near death experiences from having the state deny them the

395
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.000
<v Speaker 7>abortion that their doctor explained.

396
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 9>Was medically necessary.

397
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 7>And they've told us these things for one reason, and

398
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.039
<v Speaker 7>that is to keep what happened to them from happening

399
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:13.400
<v Speaker 7>to anybody else.

400
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:18.920
<v Speaker 9>Because if you do not have autonomy over this, over this.

401
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.119
<v Speaker 7>If you cannot control woen and how you choose to

402
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.559
<v Speaker 7>bring your children into this world and how they are

403
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:32.200
<v Speaker 7>raised and supported, there is no American dream.

404
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 9>The women and men who.

405
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.359
<v Speaker 7>Are battling to keep us from going back to a

406
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:49.880
<v Speaker 7>time of desperation and shame and stone cold fear, they

407
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.880
<v Speaker 7>are the new freedom fighters. And make no mistake, they

408
00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 7>are the best of America. I want to talk now

409
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:07.039
<v Speaker 7>about somebody who's not with us tonight. Tessi Prevos Williams

410
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.039
<v Speaker 7>was born in New Orleans, not long af there's a

411
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:16.599
<v Speaker 7>Supreme Court rule that segregated public schools were unconstitutional. That

412
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 7>was in nineteen fifty four, same year I was born.

413
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 7>But I didn't have to head to first grade at

414
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.680
<v Speaker 7>the all white Madonna nineteenth School with a US Marshal

415
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.599
<v Speaker 7>by my side like TESSI did. And when I got

416
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:35.599
<v Speaker 7>to school, the building wasn't empty like it was for Tessie.

417
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 7>You see, rather than allowing Madonna to be integrated, parents

418
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:45.799
<v Speaker 7>pulled their kids out of the school, leaving only Tessi

419
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.759
<v Speaker 7>and two other little black girls, Gail at the Enne

420
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 7>and Leona Tate to sit in a classroom with the

421
00:23:53.960 --> 00:24:00.519
<v Speaker 7>windows papered over to block snipers from attacking the six

422
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:01.759
<v Speaker 7>year old bodies.

423
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.480
<v Speaker 9>Tessie passed away six weeks.

424
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 7>Ago, and I tell this story to honor her tonight,

425
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:24.680
<v Speaker 7>because she, she, like Ruby Bridges and her friends Leona

426
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.079
<v Speaker 7>and Gail, the New Orleans four.

427
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.240
<v Speaker 9>They were called, they broke barriers, and they.

428
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.839
<v Speaker 7>Paid dearly for it. But it was the grace and

429
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 7>guts and courage of women like Tessie Prevots Williams that

430
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:47.160
<v Speaker 7>paid the way for another young girl who nine years.

431
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:50.359
<v Speaker 6>Later became part of the second class to.

432
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 7>Integrate the public schools in Berkeley, California.

433
00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 5>And it seems to me.

434
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.599
<v Speaker 7>That at school and at home, somebody did a beautiful

435
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.319
<v Speaker 7>job of showing this young girl how to challenge the

436
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.799
<v Speaker 7>people at the top and empower the people at the bottom.

437
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.200
<v Speaker 9>They showed her how to look at the world and

438
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:16.039
<v Speaker 9>see not just what is, but what can be.

439
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 7>They instilled in her a passion for justice and freedom

440
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:26.279
<v Speaker 7>and the glorious fighting spirit necessary to pursue that passion.

441
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 7>And soon, and very soon, soon, embarrassed, soon, we're going

442
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:42.079
<v Speaker 7>to be teaching our daughters and sons about how this

443
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 7>child of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, two idealistic,

444
00:25:48.440 --> 00:26:01.039
<v Speaker 7>energetic immigrants, immigrants, how this child grew up to become

445
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:05.079
<v Speaker 7>the forty seventh President of the United States.

446
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.799
<v Speaker 9>That is the best of America.

447
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.160
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to it later with mo Kelly.

448
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.160
<v Speaker 2>We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio Apple will continue to

449
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:27.920
<v Speaker 2>dip in and dip out of the DNC.

450
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.160
<v Speaker 3>That was Oprah Winfrey who was just speaking.

451
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 2>We're waiting on Minnesota Governor Tim Walls to formally accept

452
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 2>his nomination for vice president representing the Democratic Party.

453
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Will bring his address to you live as well.

454
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.759
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from

455
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

456
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Last week, I was talking about whether something was real

457
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:54.839
<v Speaker 2>or something was more out of curiosity. I was talking

458
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.599
<v Speaker 2>about how the first night of a convention, be it

459
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:01.359
<v Speaker 2>RNC or DNC, you usually is pretty high and then

460
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 2>it levels off, tapers off, it goes down waiting for

461
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the eventual presidential nominee to speak at the end of

462
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 2>the convention, and you have this surge in viewership. The

463
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Republican National Convention started off with like an eighteen point

464
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>seven million people viewing the first night, and it tapered

465
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.960
<v Speaker 2>off to fourteen million the next night, and then its

466
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.960
<v Speaker 2>surged to twenty five million when former President Trump spoke

467
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:31.559
<v Speaker 2>and officially accepted the nomination to become president. Representing Republican Party,

468
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:37.559
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats started with twenty million about nineteen point eight

469
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.440
<v Speaker 2>million on its first night Monday, compared to like the

470
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 2>eighteen point seven million for the Republicans. In fact, the

471
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>first night for the Democrats beat the next three nights,

472
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the first three nights of the Republicans in the RNC,

473
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and I was saying, well, let's wait for the second night,

474
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:56.160
<v Speaker 2>because then you can start to see a pattern or trend.

475
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Was it just voyeurism where people are just tuning in

476
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 2>to see what everything was going to be about, or

477
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 2>was it actually going to grow or taper off, And

478
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:06.160
<v Speaker 2>then you would get a better sense of whether the

479
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:11.799
<v Speaker 2>DNC was generating momentum or people, you know, were just

480
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>checking out the sideshow the first day and didn't really care. Well,

481
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the numbers are in for the second night of the DNC,

482
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:20.759
<v Speaker 2>and the Democrats went up from twenty million to twenty

483
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.559
<v Speaker 2>point six million. And if you want to make a

484
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>direct comparison, the RNC went down to fourteen million it's

485
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:28.400
<v Speaker 2>second night.

486
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 3>So if anything, it suggests.

487
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>That not well, it doesn't suggest it says that more

488
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.759
<v Speaker 2>people are tuning in, but it does suggest that there

489
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 2>is increasing interest in what is happening at the DNC,

490
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and that usually if you use history as a guide,

491
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:49.720
<v Speaker 2>it usually translates to voter registrations and also increased fundraising, because,

492
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 2>like I said last night, this is about the time

493
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 2>in which people really start tuning in and start paying

494
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:00.200
<v Speaker 2>attention to the presidential race. I mean, Mark and I

495
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.680
<v Speaker 2>we talk about this all year, every day. We follow

496
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.279
<v Speaker 2>these things very closely as a nature of what we

497
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:10.960
<v Speaker 2>do professionally, but not most people. Most people they're on

498
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:13.519
<v Speaker 2>the periphery. They know what's going on, but they're not

499
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.799
<v Speaker 2>really paying attention. But when the conventions come around, people

500
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:20.200
<v Speaker 2>start to play a closer attention. And let me just

501
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>go down the numbers a little bit more. The twenty

502
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:28.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty four DNC is the first one to have higher

503
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:33.400
<v Speaker 2>ratings on the second night in the last decade. In fact,

504
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>former President Obama's speech saw the highest spike in viewership

505
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:38.799
<v Speaker 2>over the course of the night. This is according to

506
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Nielsen an average of twenty one point nine million people

507
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 2>tuned in to watch him speak, which was higher than

508
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.319
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the night, and the Nielsen numbers on

509
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>the other end of the spectrum show that the Democrats

510
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:55.960
<v Speaker 2>are still struggling to attract younger voters. Only nine hundred

511
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.839
<v Speaker 2>and thirty nine thousand viewers between the ages of eighteen

512
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:03.279
<v Speaker 2>to thirty four the broadcast Tuesday, which was down from

513
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>nine hundred and forty one thousand and twenty twenty, and

514
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.599
<v Speaker 2>it was just over two million and twenty sixteen. But

515
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>like I was saying last night, this is where social

516
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:16.400
<v Speaker 2>media comes in because if you're looking for the sixteen

517
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.559
<v Speaker 2>to twenty four year old, for the most part, they're

518
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:22.680
<v Speaker 2>not looking at a television broadcast. They will pick it

519
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 2>up on Twitter, they'll pick it up on TikTok, they'll

520
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>pick it up clips on it on YouTube. People will say, well,

521
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 2>what did the show Obama have to say last night? Well,

522
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.079
<v Speaker 2>they're probably not tuning in live. They'll find it on

523
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:36.400
<v Speaker 2>social media somewhere, and those speeches are very easy to find.

524
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:40.880
<v Speaker 2>And if you've been following this closely, the Harris campaign

525
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 2>has been spending more on digital media than any campaign

526
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:51.839
<v Speaker 2>in history. They are trying to bridge that gap between

527
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:58.079
<v Speaker 2>young people and the political reality, the present political landscape,

528
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 2>because the most people, well the most that I hear

529
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:04.079
<v Speaker 2>from young people is just whatever they see on TikTok.

530
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>They'll tell me what they saw on TikTok, what they

531
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.920
<v Speaker 2>saw on Twitter, what they heard from a friend who

532
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.720
<v Speaker 2>saw it on TikTok. They're not watching traditional media by

533
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.400
<v Speaker 2>and large, and the Harris campaign is going out of

534
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.799
<v Speaker 2>their way to make sure. Like last night we talked

535
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.400
<v Speaker 2>about the roll call and DJ Cassidy, how they had

536
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the music from the different states and how that could

537
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>be chopped up into one minute segments that could be

538
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.440
<v Speaker 2>sent out. All that stuff is going viral today. If

539
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.240
<v Speaker 2>you just do DNC roll call on any social media,

540
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 2>you'll find it everywhere. And that is by design, that's

541
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.440
<v Speaker 2>not by happenstance. It's not like it's going viral in

542
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.559
<v Speaker 2>an organic way. They're pushing it, they're helping it go viral.

543
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's I think one of the largest differences between

544
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.960
<v Speaker 2>this election and just four years ago, where social media

545
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:53.559
<v Speaker 2>and the digital landscape has an outsized importance, a disproportionate

546
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.759
<v Speaker 2>importance as far as getting messages out and also reaching

547
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.559
<v Speaker 2>younger voters. Now, does this mean that they'll actually turn

548
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>out and vote? Historically not in high percentages, but you know,

549
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:05.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll see if that changes.

550
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 3>But you you disagree?

551
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 5>Mark, Did you see me raise an eyebrow or something

552
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 5>yet the spastic eyebrow you go into action?

553
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 7>No.

554
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.240
<v Speaker 5>Actually, the pulling data that I've seen, and correct me

555
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker 5>if I have this wrong, shows that younger demographic voters

556
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.319
<v Speaker 5>are in the bag for Harris by a factor of

557
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.000
<v Speaker 5>at least two to one. If no, no, no, not

558
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.680
<v Speaker 5>in the bag. I'm not saying their preference. I'm saying

559
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 5>that turnout and the viewership. I don't young people aren't

560
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:32.920
<v Speaker 5>going to watch this stuff on TV. And by the way,

561
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:36.799
<v Speaker 5>as you and I were sitting here, Wes Moore, the

562
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.799
<v Speaker 5>governor of Maryland, was speaking, nobody knows him. Do you

563
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.599
<v Speaker 5>really want to follow Oprah if you're Wes Moore? No,

564
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.759
<v Speaker 5>not if you're actually a speaker on the slate.

565
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:52.079
<v Speaker 2>But thanks to social media, you can be separated from

566
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Oprah and just his speech can go out and people

567
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:55.839
<v Speaker 2>can find it.

568
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:58.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he better hopes so, because it's actually it would

569
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.759
<v Speaker 5>be a come down for even to be president.

570
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:03.240
<v Speaker 3>From what I understand.

571
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:08.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, look, Oprah has an advantage over most people

572
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 2>because television is her natural habitat, as it were. So

573
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.599
<v Speaker 2>she's very comfortable in front of a camera, and she

574
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:20.759
<v Speaker 2>is obviously world renowned. Everyone knows Oprah, so she's made

575
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.519
<v Speaker 2>for events like this, But the governor of Maryland probably

576
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.359
<v Speaker 2>is not, even though he is an elected official. He's

577
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.240
<v Speaker 2>done campaign stops. But you're not going to be able

578
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 2>to rouse the audience in a way that Oprah Winfrey camp. No,

579
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:35.680
<v Speaker 2>you got to plan this stuff out so that there's

580
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:39.200
<v Speaker 2>a natural flow. And you guys, as longtime music people,

581
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 2>you know that you plan the flow of speakers, music acts, whatever,

582
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:45.119
<v Speaker 2>so you know you.

583
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Wind up to the big finish. Yes, the headliners, you don't.

584
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 5>You don't put on one of the headliners first and

585
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.799
<v Speaker 5>then put Wes moron welterward.

586
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Think about a set list that's basically what you're talking about.

587
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 2>That he'll sprinkle in your hit songs throughout the night.

588
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:02.680
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna put them all at the beginning. You're

589
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:04.720
<v Speaker 2>not gonna put them all at the end. You sprinkle

590
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.519
<v Speaker 2>them in. You'll play some new songs. You know, Hey,

591
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.199
<v Speaker 2>we have a new song from our album We're gonna

592
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:12.039
<v Speaker 2>play because you want your fans to come along with

593
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.440
<v Speaker 2>you and also buy the new music, not just the

594
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:15.079
<v Speaker 2>old music.

595
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if you're Berlin, you don't open with the metro, right,

596
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:24.440
<v Speaker 5>you'll close and speaking of like Minnesota, all things Minnesota.

597
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.559
<v Speaker 2>The one and only time that I saw Prince he

598
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:30.199
<v Speaker 2>closed with purple rain. He didn't open with purple ring.

599
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:30.800
<v Speaker 3>That's what you do.

600
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:34.159
<v Speaker 2>It's later with Mo Kelly, Pete Buddha, Judge Secretary of

601
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Transportation of speaking right now. I believe that Tim Walls

602
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.159
<v Speaker 2>will be next, and if and when he does begin

603
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:41.239
