James T. Harris in for Jesse: The DC helicopter/plane crash

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from WOR. You are listening to
the Jesse Kelly Show. My name is James C. Harris.
I am your ringmaster, sitting again for the grade Jesse Kelly.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
A five fifty KFYI out of a Phoenix, seven ninety
knesse out of the Tucson.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
The pleasure to be sitting in.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
You know, this tragedy, the midair collision last week has
has really changed changed our perspective. I was seen on
social media. A lot of people are afraid to fly. Understandably,
it's understandable.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I had a.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Pilot for a major carrier on my show last week.
He went into some of the possibilities of what took place,
and he turns out to be, you know, close to
the truth. I guess with the information that we're finding out,
what he observed was plausible. We had a helicopter in
the wrong place. He's saying that you can find fault

(01:01):
with the helicopter pilots, you can find fault with the airplane.
Of course, he flies the plane, so he knows what
goes on in the coppic, and he predicted that there
was some type of early warning system or warning system
in the plane. We found out today that yes there was,
they were contacted nineteen seconds before the collision.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Why didn't they react?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Actually, on my show he did go into that you
could download that conversation by going through the free iHeartRadio
app of that conversation took place, I believe a last Friday. Then,
of course you had what's going on in the tower,
and a lot of people were kind of put off.
When President Trump was offering his condolences, he had the

(01:44):
press confidence he says, this is the time for morning,
this is the time for a week could all come together.
And then by Yow went after the left, went after
di and said that it was pretty much a reason
why you know this accident occurred at when he was
asked point blank about that, do.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know for sure?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I think the President did know some things, but he
couldn't say that at the time, but he went off
of what he knew. And now we're finding out what
the tower at Reagan International was not fully manned. Well,
they're down like about twenty thirty percent. You hat a
couple of people doing multiple jobs, and we're finding out

(02:27):
that's the situation all over the country.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well, how could it be?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
How could it be that when it comes to air
traffic control, we don't have enough. What we don't Those
are jobs that Americans don't want, sort of like the.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Illegals on either jobs are it's hard to keep.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
No, no, no, no, no, that's not it at all.
From that podium at that press conference, President Trump was
talking about a report that was out in which you
had like a thousand traffic controllers or candidates did not
get the job based on race.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Wait what and what was bold? Is?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
The new press secretary came out. I said, basically, they
didn't get the jobs because they were white. Shut your mouth.
Were there were whites or they didn't get the job
because you see, you can say we're not interested in marit.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
We're not interested in who's the best.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
If we did that, there might be too many white
people in Asians in those positions. We have to open
the door for America because disenfranchised groups. We need more
black and brown And they even whissel Farer said, we
need people who have like chemical dependency and who have

(03:42):
mental issues, psychological issues.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
They said that this is what the FAA was looking for.
That's absurd, but it's true.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
And he said that, and all of a sudden you
had the Democrats come out and people were complaining.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
He's race bating.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
He's said that if you're black, you're brown, you're not
a good air traffic No, that's not what he said.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
He said people are being excluded based on color.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
He said that the FAA, in their own words, were
looking for disenfranchised people. And right on the heels of that,
the internet does what the Internet does, and we started
getting all types of evidence of exactly what Trump was
talking about. Under Joe Biden, under the Biden administration, we

(04:42):
had an FAA deputy administrator called for more blacks and
brown people to get into aviation.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
What is that all about.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
We are looking for the best and brightest to join
us as air traffic controllers. We need a diverse group
of air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspectives we like
to handle the ever changing aerospace landscape.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I'm calling on students and alumni from HBCUs, Hispanic serving institutions,
and tribal collegests to apply now to become air traffic controllers.
We need averse, next generation air traffic workforce with people
from all backgrounds. I don't want anyone interested to miss

(05:30):
out on this amazing career opportunity.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
So in other words, we need blacks, we need Hispanics,
and we need Native Americans.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
We need the nations, the Indian bolks, we need the nations.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Diversity because diversity is our strength.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Don't you know this is absurd under the bidy ministrait.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You're not pulling. This is what they're they Listen, listen,
wait minute, let me hear this warm with that.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
We are looking for the best and brightest to join
us as air traffic controllers.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Right, the best and brighters.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Okay, good, so far the best and brightest to join
us as air traffic controllers.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
You need a diverse group, diverse air traffic controllers to
bring distinct perspectives.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Wait what what distinct perspectives can a diverse group bring?
Wait a minute, aren't you going to train them how
to track and land planes? What diversity? What distinct perspective?
Can an American of African descend, a Latino, a LATINX
or nations?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
What can they bring?

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Sir?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
To handle the ever changing aerospace landscape?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Whatever? Changing airspace landscape? What are you talking about? What
do you mean by that?

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Ever?

Speaker 6 (06:51):
What?

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Look? The terrain's not changing? Ever changing? See This is.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Some of that DEI Gobbly book. It means nothing. It
may sound good, but what does it mean.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
I'm calling on students and alumni from HBCUs, Hispanic.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
HBCUs Historical Black colleges, Hispanic institutions.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Serving institutions, and tribal colleges to them.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Tribal tribal colleges.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's where the Biden administration, that's where the FAA was
trying to pull people from.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Apply now to become air traffic controllers. We need a
diverse next generation air traffic workforce.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Why why do we need a diverse next generation workforce? Why? Why?
You know?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
You know, they never ask that question. Our strength is
that diversity. What does that mean? I think our weakness
in diversity, I think it's just the opposit. You're certainly
not talking about the diversity of ideas. What you're saying
is you want group thinking. You wanted to come from
these so called disadvantaged groups and somehow that's gonna make

(08:14):
air traffic controlling a stronger.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
How has that worked out, sir?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
With people from all backgrounds. I don't want anyone interested
to miss out on this amazing career opportunity.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Okay, okay, sir, No, you know what, I do have
a black suitcase.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I do.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, I wear black clothing all the time. I just
like black. I'm a generation next, That's that's my color.
Black is in the color jet.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
But even though I travel with a black suitcase, it
does not mean I want to see a black pilot.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's not what it means.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
And they got to tell you after what we experienced
with the La Fire Department, because you see, they got
a bunch of lesbians over there, the first three in
charge lesbian. They put out a commercial James, you shouldn't
do it. I don't like the way you're saying. Lesbian,
get over it. That's what they call themselves. They had
the little commercial out there talking about, you know, your

(09:12):
house is on fire and I come in there, and
you expect for me to carry you out.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
You you in the wrong place. You put yourself in
the wrong position, meaning you're on your own.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Because you know what, I'm a lesbian. I may not
be as strong as a man. I may not be
able to lift you out too bad, But we have diversity.
Aren't you glad that I look like you? Aren't you glad?
See this is making it rough on the on the
the people of color who are legitimately in these places,
because now we're gonna have to look at them with

(09:43):
a side eye. Did you get this job because of
a diversity or did you get this job because you're qualified?
And I know what I'm talking about because when I
became a teacher, that's exactly what they said to me.
How did you get this job because because of the
affirmative action.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
That's what it was called back then, affirmative action. H
mm hmmm, hm. Oh, it's a mess.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
If you think that was bad, wait to you here
the video that surfaced of Representative Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Democrat Texas.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
It's coming up next. James Harris sitting in for the

But Arizona time is the only time that matters.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Rest of you guys need to get on track or
stop messing around with your time, don't you know? That's unhealthy,
makes people tired and sick, they start driving crazy. Just
throwing off. What's that called? What is that clock called? Hey, Chris,
that's jessic Kelly's a producer, Chris. What is that clock called?
The something rhythm? Circadian rhythm? Yeah, it's all thrown off.

(11:23):
Talk about circadian rhythm, been thrown off. I get up
at two o'clock every morning, the prep for the for
the exciting Conservative circus.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm thrown off. You get off.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
You get up at ten in the morning, that's what
Chris is. That's jessic Kelly's producer. Just said, you get up.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
At ten in the morning. Ten, dude, that's like welfare hours.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
What are you doing? Oh you work late? Okay, ten o'clock.
If ten o'clock I have, that's yeah. Even when I'm off,
I wake up at like four o'clock in the morning.
At five o'clock in the morning, I just two o'clock
is when I'm in fighting shape.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Anyway, you going to bet it? Doos? I haven't bet
at seven point thirty.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
You know what, the snowbirds come down to Arizona this
time of the year, and that's you know, I gotta
beat them to the restaurant.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
They hit the restaurant at five o'clock fighting to get in.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Oh bitties, I guess I'm kind of well anyway, Uh,
how to be get up into Yeah? Oh yeah, people,
we are new. Yeah, that's so you can find me.
We are talking about DEEI. We're talking about how it's
blowing up in the left's face. It is blowing up.
And this is one of those dreams that you just

(12:38):
couldn't imagine. As a high school teacher, I was one.
I think I was the only American of African descent
in my high school and the superintendent of schools. I'll
never forget this, mister kid mo he higered me because well,
let's be let's be honest, that's just another pretty face.
I'm a devastatingly handsome man, but so had a fantastic

(13:01):
GPA from the university that I graduated from, and I
wanted to be a world history teacher and had traveled
over a third of.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
The planet at that point. I was qualified.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Some might say I was over qualified, but because I'm black,
my colleagues assumed that I got the job based on
race to federacial quota. You know, all the districts had
a quota that they wanted to meet, which is very
difficult because it's not that many black people in Wisconsin

(13:31):
to field the quota in the first damn place.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
I'm sorry, it's so frustrating.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
So I know what a person of color who's flying
a plane or working in uh, you know, air traffic control,
I know the backlash they're about to get because of
Democrat policies. People are going to question their competence be
honest with to be honest, listen, okay, okay, by a

(13:59):
show of hands, how many of y'all when you get
on an airplane, now you see you know, if you
see a Hispanic Native American African American pilot, you know,
a midget or with one leg?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
But should I say that? Do I have to say
little person? Which one? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Okay, he's over there at the pilot, you're gonna be comfortable.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (14:26):
If you get on the plane and you ask some
identifiable lesbians that are flying plane, is that gonna make
you feel better? If you lesbian, not gonna make you
feel better? Come on, come on, change You can't say
Why can't I say it? You just heard if you
were with us in the last segment, the FAA Deputy
administrator called for it. Representative Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Texas put

(14:54):
out a video. Oh, she's bragging. How hard they had
to work to get d EI policy into air traffic control?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Wait what Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:04):
And it sounds like they had they had to do
something kind of devious to make it happen. Wait what yeah,
Representative Jasmine crocket I think.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
That I've been somewhat effective. We also were able to
get monumental legislation into the FAA Reauthorization Act that really
flew under the radar.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
What flew under the radar? Well, people didn't notice it.
How did it fly under the radar?

Speaker 2 (15:36):
You got it in place, You got these DEI policies
in place for air traffic.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
Control, thank god. But this was funny to make sure
that hopefully we can increase the number of African Americans
and Hispanics that.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, why do we need more African Americans in Hispanics
and air traffic controllers? Why don't we need more African
Americans and Hispanics you know of flying planes? Do we
need more Hispanics and Native Americans? You know in the
NFL stop it.

Speaker 7 (16:07):
Our entering aviation which can be very expensive but can
obviously be very lucrative. And so we set up a
situation where basically there will be full rides for those
land grant HBCUs as well as hsi's to go into
aviation in this crazy anti DEI environment. We were able

(16:30):
to get that done because we were everybody that matter.
So I do want people to know that we are working.
This is just one of those abaritions.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah we know now, girl, We know now, girl, Thank
you very much. Crazy DEI environment, it's crazy alright. DI
is dead in the Trump administration and they are rooting out.
You get the president to call for you want to
know all of the DEI hires in air traffic control
and the people who've been turned away. There's going to

(17:00):
be a reckoning, there's going to be a writening of
the ship. I'm telling you another example of Trump winning
this DEI argument, though, is going to die.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Hard, die hard, d e hard. James T.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Harris sitting in for the Jesse Kelly Show, Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
My name is James T. Harris. Happy to be sitting
in for Jesse Kelly.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I am a talk show host from Phoenix, Arizona five
fifty kh YI can also be heard in Tucson seven
ninety K and ST and a free iHeartRadio app. You
can follow me on exit James T. Harris and let
me see Chris. That would be Jesse Kelly's producer sent
me over an article here, actually two articles, very interesting.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Pentagon boots New York Times.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
H that's not it. That's a different But that's not
the article you sent me, Chris.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Here it is. Here's the article.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
The FAA is being sued for throwing out air traffic
controller applications based on the applications.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Race What.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Class action action lawsuit by the Mountain State's Legal Foundation
has found a substantial amount of documents showing discriminatory hiring
practices by the Obama era Federal Aviation Administration.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
We go on the way back to Obama.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
They rejected qualified air traffic controllers based on race, meaning
if you were white, you you got tossed qualified one thousand,
one thousand qualified air traffic controller applicants were tossed a thousand.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
That's amazing.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
In light of what we're experiencing now, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
How about this diversity in the skies?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
FAA is controversial shift in air traffic controlling hiring. This
is January twenty nine, This is twenty twenty four. This
is a year ago. And every time we wind up
talking about DEI and aviation we get stupider. Ooh, it's
almost impossible to have a rational conversation about a shortage

(19:27):
of applicants short of a pilot's of applicants air traffic controllers.
Is it possible to have a conversation about barriers to
entry into the profession or about what qualifications are necessary
for job in aviation? Instead we talk about United CEO

(19:49):
dressing up as a woman at the US Airway Halloween
party in two thousand and one. And by the way,
he also dressed up as Taylor Swift for Halloween and
American Airlines at twenty fifteen.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Okay, okay, he.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
However, there are some areas where we've made bad decisions
in diversity hiring. This is what they're saying. So it
is out there. Can you imagine I want to be
an air traffic controller? Why what was it that was?
That was senator the senator from Texas. He was interviewing
a person who was this. He was interviewing a man

(20:26):
who had absolutely no qualifications whatsoever to be in the FAA.
He was going through the you know, the hearings, had
no qualifications whatsoever, and this is who the FAA put
up that.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
That's frightening, frightening.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
And yet that's exactly where we are as a country today.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
It's absurd.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
All I have to do to get a job in
the FAA is to walk in and tell them I'm
black bleck.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
Y'all, and I'm black, y'all, and I'm blacking and black
and I'm black, y'all, and I'm black, y'all, and I'm
black y'all, and I'm slacking it black and.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
I'm black y'all. I'm looking black black and black black.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
I'm plucking it black you because I'm black, and I'm
blessed and I'm black and I'm bleack y'all, and I'm
tracking you're black, and I'm bleack, y'all. And I'm black, y'all,
and I'm black, y'all, and I'm blacking. You're black you
and I'm black, yeah, And I'm black black black black.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Y'all, and I'm black, y'all, and I'm black, you'll, and
I'm taking because I'm black. You're hired. You're hired, sir.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
You're exactly what we need to bring diversity in our
vast changing environment. This is an idiocracy. This is what
the Democrats have turned this country into. An idiocracy. A
Right's previous and dollar person Ill, the failed campaign manager
for numerous campaigns. We're having a discussion about this on

(22:06):
the Sunday Morning News, and I think Ryan's previous was
throwing out some facts the.

Speaker 8 (22:11):
Difference between giving, you know, a lawyer and opportunity because
people can pick and choose whoever lawyer they want to hire.
There are standards for you know, taking the bar exam
accreditation and you go interview the lawyer and you hire
a lawyer, but it's a It's another thing if you're
on an airplane and you have the AI initiatives that
may have given preferential preference to someone sitting in a

(22:33):
control a different between opportunity, which I agree with, and favoritism.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
That's all worth well, Don Donald, that is exactly how
it works, girl, that we just we just demonstrated that
to you. That's why we have the FAA being sued
because the value diversity over merit the right, the value
diversity over competence, and people are people are dying. Donna

(23:05):
Brazil did respond to RAN's previous and I want you
to listen very careful to what she says. It gets emotional,
she gets emotional. That's usually what happens with Democrats when
they they didn't get emotional. They have to talk about
the pack.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
We shall over come. Donna Brazil, I.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Just want to reassure the American people that fine is safe.
I've been on airplanes all my adult life and I have.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, you know that. It is it when you think
about that, just the amount of deaths.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, this is the biggest. The worst accident we had
was in fifteen years. Then we have to go back
another nineties before that.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
It is safe. But but but behind the scenes, Donna,
behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Are we headed for a safer, safer skies or more
dangerous scene.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
I've been on a plane with two female policy and say, wow,
I am this is gonna go fast.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Oh yeah, it could go down. Yeah. Did I just
say that?

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Ah? I mean, this is about opportunity. This is who
we are as American.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
No, it's not about opportunities. It's not about who we
are as American, as Americans. We're about merit, donna, merit, excellence, exceptionalism.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
You know, James Brown, one of my favorite favorite artists
of all time, says, I don't want nobody to give
me nothing.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
He also says say it loud. I'm black and I'm
proud that's James Brown too. But I know what she's
saying here. I don't want to, you know, nobody give
me nothing. Just open the door and I'll get it myself.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Open the door, I'll get it myself. That's what people
have said for centuries in America.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Just open the door.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Give us the opportunity, Give us the opportunity. That's what
people have been saying for centuries in this country. Just
give us the opportunity. And then she goes on and
talks about how her father was a a decorated war hero.
Thank you for your service, sir, and then starts crying
about just how stop it. I just had to stalk.

(25:11):
It's just more emotional bleeding on people, just bleeding on people.
The Democrats don't get it. They are invested in this
failed policy. They can't give it up, and as long
as they hold on to it, hey better for us.

(25:33):
The Democrat Party is a danger of being thrown on
the scrap heap of history. They're in danger of going
the way of the Whig Party. They are already proving
themselves to be irrelevant and now they're moving into the
into the category of being a laughing stock. Coming up next,

(25:57):
we at the d n C conventions over the weekend.
The DNC was trying to choose new leadership and if
this were on SNL, you will still think it was
over the top.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Stay tuned, hilarity will ensue. James T. Harris sitting in
for the Jesse Kelly Show Cee Kelly Show. My name
is James T. Harris.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
I am your ringmaster and talk show HOSDS out of
a Phoenix, Arizona I show. The Conservative Circus could be
heard six to ten Monday through Friday morning on five
fifty KFYI in Phoenix and seven to ninety k is
Tea and Tucson happy to be sitting in for the
ailing Jesse Kelly, the Democrat Party is in trouble, but

(26:46):
I think they know they're in trouble. They don't know
how not to be in trouble, and they're starting to
conduct the autopsy. You still got James Carville out there
pop off. You know, he's saying some very tough things,
but he's telling people the truth. And part of what
he was popping off on was Joe Biden being senile

(27:08):
and quite frankly, Kamala Harris being stupid.

Speaker 9 (27:13):
We ran a presidential election. If we were playing a
super Bowl, we started our seven string quarterback.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
That's what happened.

Speaker 9 (27:22):
Okay, let's you can't you can't address a problem unless
you're honest.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
About a problem. And none of this was inevitable.

Speaker 9 (27:29):
Now if you would have put the staggering talent that
exists in today's Democratic Party, let me, you heard what
I said, the staggering talent that exists in today's Democratic Party,
where people would have seen that who I didn't know
they had? People like that can actually complete a sentence, okay,
that actually can know how to frame a message and

(27:50):
actually have a sense of accomplishment doing something. If we
would if excited people and we would have had people
from the middle of the country, we would have had
people from the coach it have been diverse, we'd have
been in When you do that, that's how people get
involved in policy.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Okay, okay, uh. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
We're talking about, you know, the stellar people that are
part of the party. But hey, you know what if
we would have seen Shapiro that was the governor over
in Pennsylvania, He's he's pretty stellar. Fetterman, you know, Federman's
coming around. I don't know, but they're not going to
get that.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
They're not going to get that.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Why Because the d n C had their little convention
over the weekend and it was it was it was,
it was troublesome.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
This was moderated by ms n b c Uh.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
You had what's his name, Jonathan k Part was over there,
and also you had Jin Saki circle back Sak she
was there as well. And they were introducing the the
the candidates. I think they were like about twelve or
fourteen of them. And as they were introducing them, you

(29:05):
begin to realize this is not a serious party. The
Democrats are not a serious party.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
And we'll begin with the opening statements.

Speaker 10 (29:15):
Each candidate will have thirty seconds, and we'll start with
doctor Quintessa Hathaway.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Good evening everyone. It is my desire to be the
next DNC chair and I just want to give you
all a little bit of something that's been on my heart.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Here over the last couple of days. Okay, girl, what
you got? You fighted, you fired up, you fight fight
all when your government is doing you row, you fired

(29:51):
you fe thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Doctor Hathaway. You fed ah you fed oh wing. Your
government is screwing you.

Speaker 9 (30:07):
You fired.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
DNS.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Oh the Democrats are not a serious party. They're not
a serious party. Uh the let me see.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
I think this was the tenth or eleventh person up
there who wants to be the head of the DNC.
She took to the to the podium, but apparently the
people in the audience were not paying attention.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Have my Democrats? Hey, I am speaking, and I would
love your attention. There is a black woman out this poem,
and I love.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Your attention like the eleven people who went before me, Yes,
I am speaking, Hey, Hey, I am speaking. You have
a black person, a woman at the podium. Yeah, you
need to be listening to me and not wow.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, when it came down to deciding who was going on,
they had to stop the whole process. They had to
stop the election. Why why don't they have to stop
the election? They had to stop the election, my friends, because, uh,
there wasn't a non binary person elected.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
I kid you not.

Speaker 10 (31:28):
Rules specify that when we have a gender non binary
candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted as
neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices must
be gender balanced. With the results of the previous four elections,
our elected officers are currently too male and to female. Right,

(31:50):
In order to be gender balanced, we must we must elect.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
One male, one female, one person of any gender. What
is a woman? So again, mister Shaffer, what does the
woman do for this vice chair race? Okay? To elect
one male, one female, and one person of any gender. Okay.
To ensure our process accounts for male, female, and non
binarys uh huh. We conferred with our RBC coach today

(32:21):
our LGBT.

Speaker 10 (32:22):
Caucus LGBTs to ensure that the process is inclusive and
meets the gender balance requirements in our room gender balance,
but if you when d DEI policies impact your your
your process, your election process, You're dumbed.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
You're dumbed. Do you know what end up winning the
whole thing? You know you can't make this up. Gun
activist David hoggs, are you ready to go on the
offense a white dude? Are you ready to go on
the offense? But he's white. We have to win back
our young people.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
I am the only candidate in this race for any
of these positions that is under thirty. We had a
twenty point shift through the right of our young people.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
We must show our young people.

Speaker 2 (33:09):

really invest in them.

Speaker 5 (33:13):

support the future of our party.
