One Piece of reporting here and
then I want to go to Rashad,
the formation doctor.
So, I went to that local
site again.
And just to be clear, they're
definitely all mail in ballots, at
a 513 precincts in this district.
So far,
513 have not reported in yet.
So, there are no
precincts reporting in yet,
just the mail in ballots.
And there, as we told you earlier,
Shawntel Brown has about a 13 point
lead over Nina Turner with 28,000
ballots in.
There's 421,000 registered voters.
And in this district, obviously not
all of them are Democrats.
And although a lot of them are, and
not all of them will vote.
But this is a likely to be a high
voter turnout election,
because of how much press attention
is received.
>> About 17% turnout of eligible
voters.
That's what the press is
reporting about 70% turnout.
>> >Yeah a little under 17%.
>> Okay, let's do the math on that
real quick.
If that's true,
that's around 75,000 voters.
No, it can't be right.
It can't be right.
>> Let me double check >> Okay,
if that's the case then.
>> Yeah, the turnout is 16.88%.
>> Okay, so we'll see guys.
There's a lot of fog of war on
election nights.
So, we'll see how that plays out.
Okay.
Rashad, I want to go back to you.
So, you were talking about
Cliburn and
he came in into a Shawntel Brown.
He pretty much admitted, he doesn't
know anything about Shawntel Brown.
He claimed that,
I that he saw the TYT Town Hall and
Killer Mike insulted him.
And because a rappers and
by the way,
the insult was barely an insult.
He started with a compliment, and
then critiqued the bargain that he
got with Joe Biden.
And because Nina Turner briefly
said yes,
to an insult from a rapper.
Cliburn basically admitted he
didn't do any research on
Shawntel Brown.
And decided to bring in as much of
the Congressional Black Caucus as
he could against Nina Turner.
Well, there's
a couple of layers to that one.
Do you believe in Rashad
that's why he did it?
Or was he just endorsing against
progressives as he
always wanted to?
>> Okay so, Cliburn is lying,
point blank.
That is not why he did it.
Now, maybe it was a good cover, for
what he wanted to do all along.
Maybe he thought it was good cover.
I thought it was a horrible
cover story.
Because if you believe that cover
story, that means you must believe
that this man is so damn petty.
That he's willing to make a policy
decision, that impacts an entire
congressional district and could
impact those in an entire country.
Based on a slight comment that he
did not like from one or
two people.
That to me, is a more a grievous
reality than his actual reality.
His actual reality, is that he
doesn't want to be held accountable
to a progressive agenda.
He's done this before.
He's been on the wrong side of
the minimum wage debate.
He's been on the wrong side of the,
we need a black female on
the Supreme Court.
A lot of people forgot that.
He was one of the people saying,
no, Biden doesn't need to do that.
He's been on the wrong side of even
the reparations debate.
So, these are progressive
black agendas or
progressive agendas period.
That he's been on
the wrong side of,
as it relates to black Americans.
He gets this pass.
Really, the power is inside of his
own state.
And it's because of things,
he's done over the years,
that they still celebrate.
Well, here's the game of politics.
Politics is the ultimate game of,
what have you done for me lately?
That's what this is about.
This is all about the current
strategy, the current policy.
You can't win policy arguments
based on what you did 30 years ago.
And what is policy?
Policy is a social contract between
the community and the government,
that's all policy is.
And every single day,
if you're not waking up trying to
create a better social contract.
Between the community and
the government that's in charge,
then you have lost your way.
And here's the reality of most
Democrats who serve, they lost
their way a long time ago.
Here's what's happening now with
progressive politicians,
progressive public servants.
They are the expression,
of people telling them when they
were growing up.
You can actually change this
system.
They are the expression of mama,
them telling these individuals,
yeah, it's bad, It's wrong.
It shouldn't be this way, but
you can do something about it.
And now they are in positions of
authority and
seeking positions of leaders.
And we're still talking about wait
your turn.
We're still allowing the old guard,
who has really been antithetical to
the movement of progress to say.
Well, I'm not going to pick you.
I'm going to pick someone else.
It's time out, for the party that
started as an activist movement.
To allow others in authority to be
king makers,
this should be the People's Party.
Progressives represent that
ideology at its core.
And being the people's champion,
means that you can't be
the champion for corporate America.
You can't be the champion for
one politician or
the other that regardless
of their partisan affiliation.
You can't be that because,
your actual connection and
your loyalty, lies with those
that you represent every day.
And we have to get back
to that core.
And that's what Nina Turner
represented.
She represented that all day, and
you saw it happening in real time.
The polling started coming back.
Not enough sisters favor,
after these attacks went out.
And then these attacks went out.
And now the Democrats supported
these attacks or provided no cover.
And nobody was the adult in
the room brother and sister said,
hey, knock this off.
We will not do this now sister in
a democratic primary.
Nobody did that for her.
Nobody did that in this primary for
her, and a sea
full of Democrats running.
