Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I don't usually vote in these local elections.
And they had elections in New York City, New Jersey,
California and Virginia. And they also had local
elections. They had those are statewide
elections working for governor or mayor in other in other
places of the states. Like in Pennsylvania, we never

(00:21):
had a we weren't voting for governor, but we voted for
judges. I'd never usually voted and
earlier some time ago, you and Isaw pieces of mail that that we
received pieces of mail that says that data shows that one or
two people will not vote in thishousehold or in at this place.

(00:43):
Yes, which but I never normally vote, but this time I did vote.
I did go out today and while going out to vote, I own a car
running to me. Why going and I could have
turned around and go back home because this elections like
these. No, no, I didn't really play.

(01:04):
I've been the most important notan important thing in my life or
experience or decision making. But this time I went out.
But why why? And I'm going to ask you before
I even answer the question, whatwas the number?
I, I'm watching MSNBC, CNN, Fox,and they're talking about
healthcare and what was the mostimportant thing in people's

(01:24):
mind. And in some people, the cost of
living was important for, for many of the voters in
healthcare, that's not true. That's not true.
But first, let me ask you, what was the most important issue in
your mind when you went to vote today?
Huh? Just social getting social
judges in there 'cause I believethat the Republican Party is

(01:48):
another extension of the modern day.
KKK. OK, All right.
Yeah, so you went. But though you don't usually
vote in days like today. Yeah, I vote.
Not every since Trump. I vote in every election.
Every so the most, the number one reason why you voted today
was because of Trump against Trump against Trump.

(02:10):
That's the number one reason. And can I say that's the number
one reason why I voted today? But it had nothing to do with
social issues or whatever. I the, oh, I went, I when I went
into that booth. All I'm thinking about is which
of these candidates support Trump or our mother, OK.
That's the first thing. I'm sure you know, I went, you

(02:31):
know, so that's that's the firstthing.
And a lot of people who voted inmany of the in many cities who
don't usually vote went out to vote today and they weren't
wait, voting against Trump. Really.
It's not a federal election. We're not OK in many instances,
but in many, but for so many people felt like that, OK.

(02:52):
They can't wait for the general election.
I'm telling you, they get up. They got up to vote, to cast
this wonderful vote. This is a dress rehearsal.
I can't wait to see the results.I cannot wait to see what the
results are tonight because I believe that tonight when we
hear the results, both in the mayoral races where they have in

(03:13):
New York City and so on, and in the governor's races in these
other places like Virginia and California.
So it's going to be all Democrats, I'm telling you that,
or liberals or independents. It's going to be a message
against Donald Trump. That's the first thing.
OK. And in the municipalities, OK,
the same thing. And so we will await that.

(03:36):
And what what can I, what's going to happen next?
The new liberal run podcast, This is a quick note.
It's election night. It's a local election right here
in the United States and some ofthe cities.
It's not a federal election. It's not a major election, but
in some senses it is major. The new Liberal round.
