00:00:01.042 --> 00:00:02.877
Viewers like you make this
program possible.

00:00:02.961 --> 00:00:05.380
Support you local PBS station.

00:00:20.979 --> 00:00:23.148
The Latinx community is
growing in political power

00:00:23.231 --> 00:00:24.441
because we're making sure

00:00:24.524 --> 00:00:25.859
that folks are
getting involved

00:00:25.942 --> 00:00:27.527
in the political process.

00:00:27.610 --> 00:00:28.653
We're out there doing the work

00:00:28.737 --> 00:00:30.989
because we know
that it needs to be done.

00:00:31.990 --> 00:00:34.409
Here in Florida, the coronavirus
is impacting everything.

00:00:34.951 --> 00:00:37.370
The crisis and the failure
of leadership

00:00:37.454 --> 00:00:41.082
makes so clear why Latinos need
to turn out like never before.

00:00:41.708 --> 00:00:44.043
So how is Joe Biden gonna
rise to the occasion

00:00:44.127 --> 00:00:45.628
and build authentic
relationships

00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:47.213
with our communities?

00:00:47.297 --> 00:00:50.967
I don't think that you should
talk about the Latino vote

00:00:51.050 --> 00:00:53.511
without thinking
about Afro-Latinos.

00:00:53.595 --> 00:00:56.222
By overlooking that,
I think we miss a rich

00:00:56.306 --> 00:01:01.060
and an accurate understanding of
what the Latino experience is.

00:01:02.187 --> 00:01:04.230
There's a misperception
of Hispanics being Democrats,

00:01:04.856 --> 00:01:05.774
but there's a young generation
of young conservatives

00:01:05.857 --> 00:01:08.026
that are trying
to change that.

00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:09.986
They back a lot of
conservative principles.

00:01:10.069 --> 00:01:11.446
They're pro-life,
they're pro-family,

00:01:11.529 --> 00:01:15.867
and they're experimenting on how
to use their growing influence.

00:01:15.950 --> 00:01:17.160
What do you do when

00:01:17.243 --> 00:01:20.246
somebody's both
Hispanic and evangelical?

00:01:20.330 --> 00:01:22.040
Are they progressive
or are they conservative?

00:01:22.123 --> 00:01:26.044
And the reality is that
we're not a monolith.

00:01:26.127 --> 00:01:28.713
Maybe Hispanic evangelicals
can chart a way forwards

00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:33.426
that says no political party
has a monopoly on gospel values

00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:35.470
or Hispanic priorities.

00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:40.558
[Reagan] Ladies and gentlemen,
Buenas tardes.

00:01:40.642 --> 00:01:42.644
[Bush] Mi casa es su casa.

00:01:43.603 --> 00:01:46.231
[Obama] Bienvidos a la
Casa Blanca.

00:01:46.773 --> 00:01:49.984
[crowd] Aquí estamos,
aquí no cerramos.

00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:56.991
[woman 1] I'd like to introduce
my tío Bernie Sanders.

00:01:59.118 --> 00:02:01.120
[chanting]

00:02:04.249 --> 00:02:06.417
[chanting]

00:02:08.878 --> 00:02:11.756
The US Supreme Court
in a five to four ruling

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.091
said that
changes in their

00:02:13.174 --> 00:02:15.176
voting could not
be justified.

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:18.930
Black lives matter!
Black lives matter!

00:02:19.013 --> 00:02:21.349
Black lives matter!

00:02:25.311 --> 00:02:29.440
Well, thank you very much
and hello Las Vegas.

00:03:05.894 --> 00:03:07.896
Hey, are you ready for today,
though?

00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:10.815
Yeah, I think so.
Today is the best.

00:03:10.899 --> 00:03:11.691
Everyday is the best.

00:03:11.774 --> 00:03:15.194
Optimism is our greatest tool.

00:03:17.989 --> 00:03:22.577
Start with a smile because a
smile helps tremendously, right?

00:03:23.411 --> 00:03:25.455
I can get rejected a million
times, but I'll keep asking.

00:03:25.538 --> 00:03:27.665
Have a great day.

00:03:27.749 --> 00:03:30.043
I believe we're out here,
I want to say, 30 minutes

00:03:30.126 --> 00:03:32.295
and the usual rate's
about two per hour.

00:03:32.378 --> 00:03:34.589
I try to keep my numbers
up though.

00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:38.593
One of the first
questions we ask is,

00:03:38.676 --> 00:03:40.470
"Do you have your
Nevada state ID on you?"

00:03:40.553 --> 00:03:42.221
If they say yes, I just help
them out through the form,

00:03:42.305 --> 00:03:45.516
making sure that we get
everything perfect.

00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:47.644
-Yeah, 20th. Put another--
-Twentieth.

00:03:47.727 --> 00:03:49.938
The biggest goal is to really
empower our community.

00:03:50.021 --> 00:03:52.482
We can do that by
getting people to vote.

00:03:52.565 --> 00:03:54.817
Especially people who are
on the edge, you know?

00:03:54.901 --> 00:03:57.445
They want to vote
but they're not really sure.

00:03:58.071 --> 00:03:59.697
We're a really big part
of this country

00:03:59.781 --> 00:04:02.659
and we're super motivated,
so it's gonna greatly impact

00:04:02.742 --> 00:04:05.912
the election, and really,
everything.

00:04:21.719 --> 00:04:24.055
I've been doing this work
for 31 years.

00:04:25.098 --> 00:04:26.683
When I first started, a man
told me that the Latino vote

00:04:26.766 --> 00:04:29.352
was much like the chupacabra.

00:04:29.435 --> 00:04:31.187
And if anybody who's Mexican
understands this,

00:04:31.270 --> 00:04:34.315
is that it's like a phantom
ghost or like a bogeyman.

00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:37.485
It's always talked about
in the culture but never seen.

00:04:37.568 --> 00:04:39.821
That's what the Latino vote
was 30 years ago.

00:04:39.904 --> 00:04:41.948
You're gonna get ready
to see the chupacabra this year.

00:04:42.031 --> 00:04:43.992
Just walk right
down Main Street.

00:04:46.953 --> 00:04:48.496
We're in the heart
of the Latino

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:50.623
community here
in east Las Vegas.

00:04:50.707 --> 00:04:52.083
It's a hub of activity
within the Latino community.

00:04:52.166 --> 00:04:54.877
This was the
very first office

00:04:54.961 --> 00:04:56.504
that we opened in Nevada,

00:04:56.587 --> 00:04:58.464
which was a strong signal
to the community

00:04:58.548 --> 00:05:00.800
that we were here and
we weren't gonna leave.

00:05:00.883 --> 00:05:04.012
We've been out here since June,
so these people know who we are.

00:05:04.095 --> 00:05:06.097
When we come,
they open the door and say,

00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:08.391
"Hey, I'm still supporting
Bernie!"

00:05:08.474 --> 00:05:09.809
In every campaign
I've ever worked,

00:05:09.892 --> 00:05:11.310
there comes a time where
people run out of money.

00:05:11.394 --> 00:05:13.855
There's budget decisions and the
first thing that always gets cut

00:05:13.938 --> 00:05:15.857
is outreach
to diverse communities.

00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:18.067
They show up
to our community late

00:05:18.151 --> 00:05:19.902
and, you know, it's kind of
a slap in the face

00:05:19.986 --> 00:05:21.988
to take our community
for granted.

00:05:22.071 --> 00:05:23.406
And a big thing is that
we're not a monolith.

00:05:23.489 --> 00:05:27.410
Other campaigns wrongly put us
all in a basket together

00:05:27.493 --> 00:05:29.328
and think that they're supposed
to have a Taco Sunday

00:05:29.412 --> 00:05:30.788
and put a mariachi band out

00:05:30.872 --> 00:05:32.415
and they can talk to
any Latino anywhere,

00:05:32.498 --> 00:05:33.666
and that's just wrong.

00:05:34.292 --> 00:05:35.960
And with Donald Trump
at the top of the ticket,

00:05:36.044 --> 00:05:37.253
demagoguing our community,

00:05:37.336 --> 00:05:38.421
treating us like second-class
citizens,

00:05:38.504 --> 00:05:41.841
there's an undertow of energy
in the community,

00:05:41.924 --> 00:05:43.426
and I think they want
to participate.

00:05:43.509 --> 00:05:45.845
I give a lot of that credit
to Donald Trump,

00:05:45.928 --> 00:05:48.681
mobilizing our membership
for us.

00:05:53.561 --> 00:05:56.314
I grew up in California
in the 1990s.

00:05:58.649 --> 00:06:02.278
When there were a series
of discriminatory and xenophobic

00:06:02.361 --> 00:06:03.696
ballot initiatives.

00:06:03.780 --> 00:06:06.657
One of the most famous
was proposition 187.

00:06:06.741 --> 00:06:10.661
For Californians who work hard,
pay taxes, and obey the laws,

00:06:10.745 --> 00:06:11.662
I'm suing to force
the federal government

00:06:11.746 --> 00:06:13.331
to control the border.

00:06:13.414 --> 00:06:17.460
And I'm working to deny state
services to illegal immigrants.

00:06:17.543 --> 00:06:18.961
Enough is enough.

00:06:19.045 --> 00:06:21.047
[announcer]
Governor Pete Wilson.

00:06:21.130 --> 00:06:24.634
And as a result
of a Republican-led state

00:06:24.717 --> 00:06:26.511
championing policies

00:06:26.594 --> 00:06:29.931
that criminalize
and disenfranchise Latinos,

00:06:30.014 --> 00:06:32.308
it led to something
that was unprecedented.

00:06:32.391 --> 00:06:33.976
It was like the Prop 187 effect.

00:06:34.060 --> 00:06:36.979
Aquí estamos,
aquí no cerramos.

00:06:37.772 --> 00:06:42.485
And what we saw is droves of
Latinos registering to vote.

00:06:42.568 --> 00:06:44.862
And this is really important
because when we look

00:06:44.946 --> 00:06:46.823
at what is happening
in the country right now,

00:06:46.906 --> 00:06:48.741
is there a Trump effect?

00:06:54.163 --> 00:06:56.916
[sat-nav] At the next
stop sign, turn right.

00:06:57.875 --> 00:06:59.168
When Trump got elected,

00:06:59.252 --> 00:07:00.169
it was a really
hard thing to watch.

00:07:00.253 --> 00:07:02.380
You were left with
this disbelief,

00:07:02.463 --> 00:07:04.715
like, "I can't believe
this is really happening."

00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:11.472
There's one of him,
and there's another one.

00:07:11.556 --> 00:07:13.141
Oh, and that was me
hugging Bernie.

00:07:13.224 --> 00:07:17.812
He even had his arm round me,
like, "Wha! So happy!"

00:07:18.813 --> 00:07:20.439
Shall we try this house?

00:07:20.523 --> 00:07:22.233
I was not
politically involved.

00:07:22.316 --> 00:07:23.651
I was not informed.

00:07:23.734 --> 00:07:25.653
So I was like,
"I have to do something."

00:07:25.736 --> 00:07:29.323
And so I decided
to take action.

00:07:29.407 --> 00:07:31.159
Me and my son, we went
to our very first march.

00:07:31.242 --> 00:07:34.078
That was the very first
time that we took action,

00:07:34.162 --> 00:07:35.913
and we took
action together.

00:07:54.098 --> 00:07:56.434
During the time when my
mom was pregnant with me,

00:07:56.517 --> 00:07:57.768
my father lost a job

00:07:57.852 --> 00:07:58.895
that was providing them
with health insurance.

00:07:58.978 --> 00:08:01.814
They decided to just go
to Mexico

00:08:01.898 --> 00:08:03.816
where they could afford
the medical payments

00:08:03.900 --> 00:08:04.817
that were going to come
along with my birth.

00:08:04.901 --> 00:08:06.903
And so they had
me out there

00:08:06.986 --> 00:08:08.738
and then they just
brought me back.

00:08:08.821 --> 00:08:11.532
They never imagined
that 30 years later

00:08:11.616 --> 00:08:14.285
I'd still be
without status.

00:08:26.756 --> 00:08:28.925
The Latinx community is
growing in political power

00:08:29.008 --> 00:08:31.344
because we're doing
a better job

00:08:31.427 --> 00:08:33.679
of making sure that folks
are getting educated

00:08:33.763 --> 00:08:36.390
and involved
in the political process.

00:08:40.937 --> 00:08:42.980
I may not be able to
vote, but I'm making sure

00:08:43.064 --> 00:08:44.941
that every single person
within my circle

00:08:45.024 --> 00:08:46.692
can participate
in this election.

00:08:46.776 --> 00:08:50.488
Because you have a voice.
You have a very powerful voice.

00:08:56.744 --> 00:08:58.162
I said, "What do we want?"

00:08:58.246 --> 00:09:00.122
Justice!

00:09:00.206 --> 00:09:01.540
-And when do we want it?
-Now!

00:09:01.624 --> 00:09:05.044
[announcer 1] The state of
Nevada is third in line to vote

00:09:05.127 --> 00:09:06.462
in the primary contest -

00:09:06.545 --> 00:09:10.174
a labor union dominated
by women and Latinos,

00:09:10.258 --> 00:09:11.717
could decide the winner.

00:09:11.801 --> 00:09:13.261
[announcer 2] By the way,
both sides recognizes

00:09:13.344 --> 00:09:16.764
the Republicans are afraid
of what the Culinary can do,

00:09:16.847 --> 00:09:18.057
and the Democrats
want the

00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:21.185
Culinary to do
what it can do.

00:09:28.484 --> 00:09:29.527
More campaigners are engaging us

00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:32.363
for the same reason Donald Trump
is attacking us.

00:09:35.116 --> 00:09:36.867
Because there's
more of us now.

00:09:36.951 --> 00:09:39.328
Because our vote is our voice,
and is our power.

00:09:39.412 --> 00:09:41.080
And we can make
a huge difference.

00:09:41.163 --> 00:09:41.998
Campaigns know that in 2020

00:09:42.081 --> 00:09:44.083
we are going to be the largest

00:09:44.166 --> 00:09:45.835
non-white voting bloc
in this country.

00:09:45.918 --> 00:09:47.753
and we have the ability
to sway this election.

00:09:47.837 --> 00:09:50.131
-No contract!
-No peace!

00:09:50.214 --> 00:09:51.257
We've heard many say
that Donald Trump

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:53.718
will go down
in the history books as the

00:09:53.801 --> 00:09:55.303
greatest Latino
organizer of all time

00:09:55.386 --> 00:09:56.679
and God, I hope that's true.

00:09:56.762 --> 00:09:57.930
We've learned by what
they've done

00:09:58.014 --> 00:09:59.265
to our fellow citizens
in Puerto Rico,

00:09:59.348 --> 00:10:02.435
that this is not just
about your status.

00:10:02.518 --> 00:10:05.313
We've seen what this president
has done to our community,

00:10:05.396 --> 00:10:08.607
and so I feel that that
has lit a fire in us.

00:10:27.418 --> 00:10:31.797
[chanting in Spanish]

00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.168
You know, I came
from Nicaragua, 1979.

00:11:09.251 --> 00:11:11.754
And I came
for political reasons.

00:11:11.837 --> 00:11:15.007
And I have political asylum.

00:11:15.091 --> 00:11:17.676
This is America,
and this is the country

00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:21.055
who protects
every single immigrant.

00:11:21.138 --> 00:11:26.435
And this is the year where
we put in all our effort

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.147
to kick President Trump out!

00:11:31.148 --> 00:11:33.776
We need to defeat Trump.

00:12:02.888 --> 00:12:03.889
Let's face it.

00:12:03.973 --> 00:12:07.143
The White House is a mess.

00:12:07.226 --> 00:12:08.352
And when you've got a mess,

00:12:08.436 --> 00:12:10.813
and you really
need it cleaned up,

00:12:10.896 --> 00:12:14.692
call a woman
to get the job done.

00:13:14.585 --> 00:13:16.086
-No contract!
-No peace!

00:13:16.629 --> 00:13:20.049
[ominous music plays]

00:13:32.603 --> 00:13:34.396
He puts God first.

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.857
And that is amazing to me.

00:13:37.441 --> 00:13:39.777
Hello!

00:13:41.904 --> 00:13:44.573
Let us pray.
Heavenly Father,

00:13:44.657 --> 00:13:48.202
we thank you for our president
and his family.

00:13:50.996 --> 00:13:54.917
We pray! Amen!
And God's [inaudible]

00:13:55.292 --> 00:13:56.544
That's pretty good.

00:13:56.627 --> 00:13:58.671
Well, thank you very much
and hello, Las Vegas.

00:13:58.754 --> 00:14:01.215
It's great to be with you.

00:14:01.882 --> 00:14:05.135
Well, I'm delighted to be back
in a state I love,

00:14:05.219 --> 00:14:09.139
I have a beautiful building
right down the road.

00:14:10.432 --> 00:14:12.977
By the way, the union, I have
a lot of respect for that union.

00:14:13.060 --> 00:14:16.647
Last time, they had a strike in
my building during the election.

00:14:16.730 --> 00:14:17.439
It's the only reason we would
have won this state,

00:14:17.523 --> 00:14:19.817
like brilliantly.

00:14:19.900 --> 00:14:21.277
I could've settled the strike
before the election.

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.820
I wanted to save two dollars.

00:14:24.071 --> 00:14:29.743
Since my election, over 125,000
new jobs have been created

00:14:29.827 --> 00:14:30.828
right here in Nevada.

00:14:30.911 --> 00:14:32.705
We have the best
unemployment numbers

00:14:32.788 --> 00:14:35.332
in the history of our country.

00:14:35.416 --> 00:14:38.544
African-American unemployment,
Hispanic-American...

00:14:38.627 --> 00:14:41.463
Hispanic, we got a lot Hispanic.

00:14:41.964 --> 00:14:44.800
I love Hispanic.

00:14:46.218 --> 00:14:47.636
With your help this November,

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.347
we're going to defeat the
radical socialist Democrats

00:14:50.431 --> 00:14:57.896
and we are going to win Nevada
in a big, beautiful landslide.

00:14:58.647 --> 00:15:01.609
[chanting] Four more years!
Four more years!

00:15:01.692 --> 00:15:05.029
Four more years!
Four more years!

00:15:05.112 --> 00:15:07.114
Four more years!
Four more years!

00:15:07.197 --> 00:15:10.659
The durability of the Latino
vote for Republicans

00:15:10.743 --> 00:15:12.494
has been remarkable,

00:15:13.078 --> 00:15:15.539
and it has been at about
between a quarter and a third

00:15:15.623 --> 00:15:18.292
of the Latino vote.

00:15:20.794 --> 00:15:22.254
Hispanic Republicans,

00:15:22.713 --> 00:15:24.798
especially since the 1990s

00:15:24.882 --> 00:15:26.467
have argued that immigration

00:15:26.550 --> 00:15:28.802
is not the only issue
they care about,

00:15:28.886 --> 00:15:32.598
that they care about education,
jobs, healthcare

00:15:32.681 --> 00:15:36.060
as much as they care about
immigration, if not more.

00:15:36.143 --> 00:15:39.563
So, I think they're able
to explain away

00:15:39.647 --> 00:15:41.440
a candidate's statements
about immigration

00:15:41.523 --> 00:15:43.817
by saying that we care about
other things more.

00:15:43.901 --> 00:15:46.362
In fact, I think that
the Republican party

00:15:46.445 --> 00:15:50.991
sees some of its greatest
opportunities for growth

00:15:51.075 --> 00:15:53.786
among immigrant evangelicals.

00:16:04.588 --> 00:16:07.174
[speaking in Spanish]

00:16:09.677 --> 00:16:12.471
I support the president
because I believe in faith,

00:16:12.554 --> 00:16:16.266
family and our core
values, who we are.

00:16:16.767 --> 00:16:17.935
Hey, we'll see ya.

00:16:18.018 --> 00:16:19.645
He's changing some things

00:16:19.728 --> 00:16:22.981
that have helped the United
States of America move forward.

00:16:23.065 --> 00:16:24.483
We don't believe
in abortion.

00:16:24.566 --> 00:16:27.444
That baby, it's alive.
It shouldn't be aborted,

00:16:27.528 --> 00:16:28.904
so we believe in life.

00:16:29.446 --> 00:16:29.905
He really stands
up for that.

00:16:36.995 --> 00:16:38.706
Vice-President Pence
is amazing.

00:16:39.164 --> 00:16:40.624
Amazing man of God.

00:16:40.708 --> 00:16:41.709
He brings great
input from

00:16:41.792 --> 00:16:43.001
being a Christian
to the table

00:16:43.085 --> 00:16:45.421
in the administration
right now.

00:16:46.171 --> 00:16:48.006
I've been to the
White House probably...

00:16:48.090 --> 00:16:50.676
you could say,
maybe over ten times.

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:53.804
I shared with him a strategy
of how he could win the vote

00:16:53.887 --> 00:16:55.305
for the Hispanic
community.

00:16:55.889 --> 00:16:57.307
I told him not to use the
word "Mexican" anymore.

00:16:57.850 --> 00:17:01.186
And if he wants the Hispanic,
Mexican-American vote,

00:17:01.270 --> 00:17:02.980
you don't
wanna talk like that.

00:17:03.063 --> 00:17:05.149
We know how that
could be offensive,

00:17:05.232 --> 00:17:07.276
and how it could offend
a lot of people.

00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:08.610
But as a Christian,

00:17:08.694 --> 00:17:10.529
we look at it from
a different perspective.

00:17:10.612 --> 00:17:12.156
If something offends us,
we forgive you.

00:17:12.239 --> 00:17:16.243
Father, we just bless
Mr. Trump right now.

00:17:16.326 --> 00:17:18.203
We are reaching out
to the communities.

00:17:18.287 --> 00:17:20.998
The numbers are up who are
going to vote for Trump

00:17:21.081 --> 00:17:24.752
and Hispanics are a force
to be reckoned with,

00:17:24.835 --> 00:17:27.713
so I believe
the Trump administration,

00:17:27.796 --> 00:17:28.756
the campaign is doing
a good job at that.

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:30.174
I just believe something in me

00:17:30.257 --> 00:17:34.344
that President Trump's
gonna get four more years.

00:17:35.429 --> 00:17:37.890
The best is yet to come.

00:17:49.401 --> 00:17:51.111
Let me introduce to you

00:17:51.195 --> 00:17:54.323
the next First Lady
of the United States,

00:17:54.406 --> 00:17:55.407
Jane Sanders.

00:17:55.491 --> 00:17:57.242
Bernie! Bernie!

00:17:57.743 --> 00:17:59.495
Bernie! Bernie!

00:17:59.578 --> 00:18:05.167
No campaign has a grassroots
movement like we do.

00:18:05.250 --> 00:18:06.585
[cheering]

00:18:06.668 --> 00:18:10.672
Nevada, I want to thank our
rank and file union members.

00:18:10.756 --> 00:18:14.009
I want to thank Make the Road

00:18:14.092 --> 00:18:16.428
and all other grassroots
organizations

00:18:16.512 --> 00:18:19.807
that helped us win there.

00:18:21.725 --> 00:18:24.144
There's a few things the
Senator's campaign did

00:18:24.228 --> 00:18:25.521
that were quite unusual,

00:18:25.604 --> 00:18:28.565
different in Nevada that could
be replicated elsewhere.

00:18:28.649 --> 00:18:31.485
The first was how early
they started to invest,

00:18:31.568 --> 00:18:33.111
I mean, basically the moment

00:18:33.195 --> 00:18:34.530
that Sanders declared
his candidacy,

00:18:34.613 --> 00:18:38.659
reaching out to Latinos was just
core to what they were doing,

00:18:38.742 --> 00:18:40.786
both in English and in Spanish.

00:18:44.748 --> 00:18:46.500
And I think what's
fairly unique

00:18:46.583 --> 00:18:47.960
in what Chuck and the
Sanders campaign created

00:18:48.043 --> 00:18:51.129
is that it was a
critical mass of people.

00:18:51.213 --> 00:18:53.298
It was a really,
pretty large team

00:18:53.382 --> 00:18:54.800
of a lot of people
who came from

00:18:54.883 --> 00:18:57.719
different parts
of the Latino community,

00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:59.263
both in terms
of country of origin

00:18:59.346 --> 00:19:04.476
and immigration status
and also age.

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:05.644
I'm a DACA recipient

00:19:05.727 --> 00:19:09.231
and I have been involved
in activism my whole life

00:19:09.314 --> 00:19:10.107
out of necessity.

00:19:13.068 --> 00:19:15.612
Whether he's in the
White House or not,

00:19:15.696 --> 00:19:17.781
we're gonna have
to keep fighting

00:19:17.865 --> 00:19:19.449
because the way that things
are going now,

00:19:19.533 --> 00:19:22.744
is obviously not working for
everyday, working class people.

00:19:22.828 --> 00:19:26.123
It's not working for minorities.

00:19:26.206 --> 00:19:28.083
If anything, it's gotten worse.

00:19:28.166 --> 00:19:31.545
We've received attacks
from this administration

00:19:31.628 --> 00:19:34.965
and instead of backing down,
we're getting louder.

00:19:55.360 --> 00:20:00.824
There is a really galvanized
kind of layer in this generation

00:20:00.908 --> 00:20:04.161
that just wants
to get things done

00:20:04.244 --> 00:20:07.497
and wants to do right by
the needs of the community.

00:20:11.335 --> 00:20:14.129
And I think that many of them
really came of age

00:20:14.212 --> 00:20:19.134
in the Sanders campaign in 2016
and in 2020.

00:20:19.217 --> 00:20:20.636
Mr. Biden, will you continue

00:20:20.719 --> 00:20:22.346
if you do not win
South Carolina?

00:20:22.429 --> 00:20:24.014
You have said
that South Carolina

00:20:24.598 --> 00:20:26.516
will determine the outcome
of this presidential race.

00:20:27.017 --> 00:20:28.977
I intend to win
South Carolina,

00:20:29.061 --> 00:20:32.064
and I will win the
African-American vote

00:20:32.147 --> 00:20:33.482
here in South Carolina.

00:20:33.565 --> 00:20:35.192
South Carolina really changed
everything.

00:20:35.275 --> 00:20:38.987
Political observers and
reporters and the campaigns

00:20:39.071 --> 00:20:42.699
all went into it knowing that
it was Joe Biden's last chance

00:20:42.783 --> 00:20:45.327
and he had
to really win strongly

00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:46.578
in order to get the nomination.

00:20:46.662 --> 00:20:47.788
And he exceeded, really even,

00:20:47.871 --> 00:20:50.040
expectations
that most people had.

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:53.961
I know Joe.

00:20:56.088 --> 00:20:57.839
We know Joe.

00:20:58.256 --> 00:21:00.259
But most importantly,

00:21:00.342 --> 00:21:02.678
Joe knows us.

00:21:02.761 --> 00:21:04.805
-That's right, that's
right. -That's important.

00:21:04.888 --> 00:21:09.476
It really went from being
the Sanders race to lose

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:11.311
to being very much
in Joe Biden's favor.

00:21:11.395 --> 00:21:15.649
There was also this undercurrent
that reporters would hear often

00:21:15.732 --> 00:21:18.110
which is that older Black voters
in particular

00:21:18.193 --> 00:21:21.488
thought that Biden was going
to be a palatable person

00:21:21.571 --> 00:21:25.909
for white voters in the rest of
the country, in swing states.

00:21:26.618 --> 00:21:30.163
Folks, as we celebrate
tonight here in Columbia,

00:21:30.247 --> 00:21:34.501
let me talk directly
to Democrats across America,

00:21:34.584 --> 00:21:37.754
especially those who'll
be voting on Super Tuesday.

00:21:37.838 --> 00:21:40.048
If Democrats...

00:21:41.133 --> 00:21:46.304
nominate me, I believe
we can beat Donald Trump.

00:21:46.388 --> 00:21:51.727
[cheering]
Let's go Joe. Let's go Joe.

00:21:51.810 --> 00:21:53.395
[announcer] Super Tuesday
fever has arrived

00:21:53.478 --> 00:21:55.063
one night early
here in Texas.

00:21:55.147 --> 00:21:56.648
Biden is polling
closely behind

00:21:56.732 --> 00:21:58.025
Senator Bernie Sanders

00:21:58.108 --> 00:22:00.360
here in Texas
and also nationwide.

00:22:00.986 --> 00:22:03.321
I've been hearing that Texas
is going to turn blue

00:22:03.405 --> 00:22:04.823
for the past 20 years at least

00:22:04.906 --> 00:22:07.617
or more,
since I was very young.

00:22:07.701 --> 00:22:11.246
So it's kind of hard
as a Texan to believe that.

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:15.083
Hating Trump is not
gonna be enough

00:22:15.167 --> 00:22:16.918
and Biden's long had
an enthusiasm challenge

00:22:17.002 --> 00:22:20.422
particularly among young
Latino and Black voters.

00:22:20.505 --> 00:22:23.008
I'm not sure if he's
bridged that gap yet.

00:22:29.598 --> 00:22:33.977
Today, I'm endorsing Joe Biden
for president!

00:22:43.278 --> 00:22:47.074
The 2020 Democratic primary
showed us some innovations

00:22:47.157 --> 00:22:49.201
in the way that you can really
capture and speak

00:22:49.284 --> 00:22:50.952
to the Latino electorate.

00:22:51.036 --> 00:22:53.663
We had a candidate who had
a whole plan for Latinos

00:22:53.747 --> 00:22:55.957
in America. That was
Senator Elizabeth Warren.

00:22:56.041 --> 00:22:59.044
We had someone
who completely revamped

00:22:59.127 --> 00:23:02.422
their presidential campaign to
put Latino issues at the center.

00:23:02.506 --> 00:23:03.632
That was Bernie Sanders.

00:23:03.715 --> 00:23:06.384
And we had a Latino candidate,

00:23:06.468 --> 00:23:09.971
which was Julián Castro, who was
taking really bold policy steps.

00:23:16.269 --> 00:23:19.272
Super grateful to have Secretary
Julián Castro with us

00:23:19.356 --> 00:23:23.485
as a surrogate for our future
president, Elizabeth Warren.

00:23:23.568 --> 00:23:26.238
Thank you. Thank you.

00:23:26.321 --> 00:23:27.405
Hello y'all, how are you?

00:23:27.489 --> 00:23:29.533
I know that y'all have been
hard at work

00:23:29.616 --> 00:23:33.328
and have gotten the word out
here in San Antonio,

00:23:33.411 --> 00:23:35.205
and throughout
the state of Texas.

00:23:35.288 --> 00:23:37.165
I can't believe
that it's already here.

00:23:37.249 --> 00:23:38.708
That we're at Super Tuesday.

00:23:38.792 --> 00:23:41.253
I got into politics because
I'd grown up with a mother

00:23:41.336 --> 00:23:42.671
who had been part
of the Chicana movement

00:23:42.754 --> 00:23:46.216
and that was very much about
empowering the Latino community,

00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:49.970
not being ashamed of who we are,
but celebrating it

00:23:50.053 --> 00:23:51.888
and putting it
on the main stage.

00:23:56.143 --> 00:23:58.019
Latinos have had enough
of a president

00:23:58.103 --> 00:23:59.396
that wants to demonize
immigrants.

00:23:59.813 --> 00:24:03.150
Saturday was the location

00:24:03.233 --> 00:24:04.609
where 22 people
were shot to death

00:24:04.693 --> 00:24:06.027
by a 20-year-old man,

00:24:06.111 --> 00:24:09.823
who apparently had a
problem with Hispanics.

00:24:09.906 --> 00:24:13.660
We've been here many,
many times. We were here.

00:24:14.035 --> 00:24:16.163
-It could have been you.
-A couple of days--

00:24:16.246 --> 00:24:18.665
Right. It could have been
any of us.

00:24:18.748 --> 00:24:21.668
What happened on August 3rd
in El Paso

00:24:21.751 --> 00:24:23.128
was sad and tragic.

00:24:23.211 --> 00:24:27.716
Unfortunately, it was, in a way,
within keeping of these times

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:28.967
and the tone that
this president has set

00:24:29.050 --> 00:24:33.138
of demonizing immigrants,
scapegoating them.

00:24:33.221 --> 00:24:35.807
And I do believe that
for a good number of people,

00:24:35.891 --> 00:24:37.893
that also was a wake-up call

00:24:37.976 --> 00:24:40.645
and my hope is that people
and gonna translate

00:24:41.271 --> 00:24:44.107
that recognition that we need
to go in a different direction

00:24:44.191 --> 00:24:46.568
to casting a ballot
at the voting booth.

00:24:46.651 --> 00:24:47.944
And we can only do that

00:24:48.028 --> 00:24:50.822
with intense efforts
to register people,

00:24:50.906 --> 00:24:52.574
to get them motivated to vote

00:24:52.657 --> 00:24:55.118
and with candidates
to speak to issues

00:24:55.202 --> 00:24:57.537
that people care about
in the community.

00:25:14.221 --> 00:25:16.056
Hi, this is Alicia
with Move Texas.

00:25:16.139 --> 00:25:17.807
I'm calling to remind you that
voting's going on now.

00:25:18.350 --> 00:25:22.479
Great, awesome, thank you
so much for being a voter.

00:25:22.562 --> 00:25:24.522
So, I was born in
Panama City, Panama.

00:25:24.606 --> 00:25:27.609
My dad was in the Air Force,
He was a Spanish linguist,

00:25:27.692 --> 00:25:29.653
and met my mom during
the ousting of Noriega,

00:25:29.736 --> 00:25:31.238
the invasion of Panama.

00:25:31.321 --> 00:25:34.866
So politics has always been
present at my dinner table.

00:25:37.285 --> 00:25:38.995
My parents have
encouraged me to continue

00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.623
to develop my
political voice.

00:25:41.706 --> 00:25:44.834
And so now the work that I do
is organizing young voters

00:25:44.918 --> 00:25:47.212
around the state of Texas
to turnout.

00:25:47.921 --> 00:25:48.922
The way that things look
in Texas is that young people

00:25:49.005 --> 00:25:51.967
are suddenly making
the state in play.

00:25:52.050 --> 00:25:54.219
So when we say the young
vote, in large part,

00:25:54.302 --> 00:25:56.096
we mean also
the Latinx vote.

00:25:56.179 --> 00:25:58.974
I expect Latinx voters to
turnout very aggressively

00:25:59.057 --> 00:26:00.308
in these elections.

00:26:00.392 --> 00:26:01.768
So in this presidential
election,

00:26:01.851 --> 00:26:03.812
we're looking to capitalize
on the momentum

00:26:03.895 --> 00:26:05.230
that young people have

00:26:05.313 --> 00:26:07.357
and for them to use their power
at the ballot box.

00:26:13.822 --> 00:26:15.323
You can see them over there.

00:26:15.407 --> 00:26:17.284
They look like they're
deliberating on where to go.

00:26:17.367 --> 00:26:19.995
What Move Texas does, engaging
college students year round,

00:26:20.078 --> 00:26:22.998
registering voters
no matter the time of year,

00:26:23.081 --> 00:26:24.416
no matter the election,

00:26:24.499 --> 00:26:26.584
is a critical form
of self-defense

00:26:26.668 --> 00:26:28.670
for those voters
against campaigns

00:26:28.753 --> 00:26:31.298
that may look at them
in a one-dimensional way.

00:26:31.381 --> 00:26:34.467
We're setting up voters to be
more literate in the issues,

00:26:34.551 --> 00:26:36.219
to be more literate
in the things that matter

00:26:36.303 --> 00:26:37.387
in their communities.

00:26:37.470 --> 00:26:39.097
Are they open, like, every day?

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:41.516
So today's actually the last day
to vote in the Texas primaries.

00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:42.809
Okay, awesome,

00:26:42.892 --> 00:26:44.019
-I might go after my class.
-Yeah, tell your friends.

00:26:44.102 --> 00:26:47.605
Understanding
how Texas is changing

00:26:47.689 --> 00:26:48.857
plays a critical role
in understanding

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:50.692
why you might see efforts
at suppression

00:26:50.775 --> 00:26:52.277
that are so aggressive.

00:26:52.360 --> 00:26:55.322
Young people are more
powerful at the ballot box.

00:26:55.405 --> 00:26:57.532
That also means
people of color

00:26:57.615 --> 00:26:59.284
are more powerful
at the ballot box,

00:26:59.367 --> 00:27:00.994
so the rise
in suppression

00:27:01.077 --> 00:27:02.871
has to do with
the changing demographics

00:27:02.954 --> 00:27:05.373
and also the changing
power of those voters.

00:27:05.457 --> 00:27:08.418
And so we see suppression
as a direct response

00:27:08.501 --> 00:27:09.586
to that kind of activity.

00:27:10.628 --> 00:27:12.339
[announcer] Today is Super
Tuesday and already

00:27:12.422 --> 00:27:13.798
we are seeing
some problems

00:27:13.882 --> 00:27:15.425
at a few polling places
in north Texas.

00:27:15.508 --> 00:27:17.385
[announcer 2] Lines that are
wrapped around buildings.

00:27:17.469 --> 00:27:21.056
[announcer 3] Six hours
in line here at TSU.

00:27:21.639 --> 00:27:24.309
So Texas is an epicenter
of voter suppression,

00:27:24.392 --> 00:27:26.394
lots of polling locations
have closed.

00:27:26.478 --> 00:27:29.814
Since 2013, there have
been 750 closures.

00:27:29.898 --> 00:27:31.816
So every time you close
a polling location,

00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:33.151
it makes the
lines at the ones

00:27:33.234 --> 00:27:35.362
that are still remaining
open much longer.

00:27:35.820 --> 00:27:37.530
As we go into
a modern era,

00:27:37.614 --> 00:27:39.032
where we have more voters
of color,

00:27:39.115 --> 00:27:41.451
the Latino
strength is there.

00:27:41.534 --> 00:27:43.661
Yeah, there's been
meaningful attacks

00:27:43.745 --> 00:27:46.998
to try and get people of
color away from elections.

00:27:47.082 --> 00:27:50.043
This goes from very strict
voter ID laws

00:27:50.126 --> 00:27:52.128
to vote dilution
and gerrymandering.

00:28:01.137 --> 00:28:04.933
There is a lot of efforts
to scare our voters,

00:28:05.016 --> 00:28:07.519
so voter protection
is huge this year

00:28:07.602 --> 00:28:08.812
to make sure that we address

00:28:08.895 --> 00:28:12.732
Latino-specific
voter suppression issues.

00:28:16.236 --> 00:28:19.656
So if there's things that
aren't translated in Spanish

00:28:19.739 --> 00:28:22.158
that they need to know,
such as ID laws.

00:28:22.242 --> 00:28:24.160
What type of ID do they
actually have to bring?

00:28:24.244 --> 00:28:25.620
Does it have to have
their address?

00:28:25.703 --> 00:28:27.163
Can they go to any poll?

00:28:27.247 --> 00:28:29.541
So, it's very simple
things to build that trust.

00:28:29.999 --> 00:28:31.459
Nice meeting you.
Yeah, same here.

00:28:31.543 --> 00:28:33.670
-How's the line?
-It's two hours long.

00:28:33.753 --> 00:28:34.963
Is it wrapped around the...?

00:28:35.046 --> 00:28:36.756
Yeah, it's all wrapped
around inside.

00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:39.801
So, there's a lot of development
that's going on this year

00:28:39.884 --> 00:28:43.138
in order for us to start
engaging our Latino communities,

00:28:43.221 --> 00:28:46.057
representing them
and actually caring for them.

00:28:54.399 --> 00:28:57.068
[announcer] Super Tuesday livig
up to its billing tonight,

00:28:57.152 --> 00:29:00.780
resetting the Democratic
race for president.

00:29:00.864 --> 00:29:02.157
Former vice-president
Joe Biden

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.659
making a remarkable
political comeback.

00:29:04.742 --> 00:29:06.828
[announcer 2] Joe Biden
surging to victories

00:29:06.911 --> 00:29:10.999
in nine states including
a surprise win in Texas.

00:29:11.082 --> 00:29:13.418
[announcer 3] He took roughly
one third of the vote,

00:29:13.501 --> 00:29:15.003
edging Vermont senator
Bernie Sanders

00:29:15.086 --> 00:29:16.296
by less than four points.

00:29:16.379 --> 00:29:18.339
They don't call it Super
Tuesday for nothing.

00:29:18.423 --> 00:29:22.427
[cheering]

00:29:22.510 --> 00:29:23.928
And we're told, "Well,
when we got to Super Tuesday,

00:29:24.012 --> 00:29:25.013
it'd be over."

00:29:25.096 --> 00:29:27.348
Well, it may be over
for the other guy.

00:29:27.432 --> 00:29:30.018
[cheering]

00:29:30.101 --> 00:29:32.645
Eight months from now,
we're going to defeat

00:29:32.729 --> 00:29:34.606
the radical socialists,

00:29:34.689 --> 00:29:37.650
we're going to win the
great state of North Carolina

00:29:37.734 --> 00:29:39.360
in a landslide.

00:29:39.986 --> 00:29:44.449
And today, we just had
the largest one-day increase

00:29:44.532 --> 00:29:46.367
in the stock
market in history.

00:29:46.451 --> 00:29:48.536
[cheering]

00:29:48.620 --> 00:29:51.831
[ominous music plays]

00:30:02.467 --> 00:30:04.135
Today, the World Health
Organization

00:30:04.219 --> 00:30:06.679
officially announced that
this is a global pandemic.

00:30:07.305 --> 00:30:09.849
[announcer 1] The market was
in a free fall.

00:30:09.933 --> 00:30:11.392
[announcer 2] ...making it
the single

00:30:11.476 --> 00:30:14.521
largest point
drop in history.

00:30:16.814 --> 00:30:18.399
The coronavirus
has decimated

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:20.777
Latino life
in the United States.

00:30:20.860 --> 00:30:23.112
They are our
frontline workers.

00:30:25.907 --> 00:30:28.618
And because they're keeping
Americans safe,

00:30:28.701 --> 00:30:29.911
they're dying.

00:30:29.994 --> 00:30:32.413
And our research at UCLA
has shown

00:30:32.497 --> 00:30:34.165
not only are they getting
infected,

00:30:34.249 --> 00:30:37.001
at higher rates
than other populations,

00:30:37.085 --> 00:30:40.838
they represent
the most jobless Americans

00:30:40.922 --> 00:30:43.508
including the highest share
of Americans

00:30:43.591 --> 00:30:46.052
who are ineligible
for unemployment insurance.

00:30:46.135 --> 00:30:50.348
And that, frankly,
makes it hard for Latinos

00:30:50.431 --> 00:30:52.141
to not only be healthy,

00:30:52.225 --> 00:30:56.521
but to be depended on
by the world's largest economy

00:30:56.604 --> 00:30:59.065
as we seek to reopen
and rebuild.

00:31:03.027 --> 00:31:04.862
With a narrowing path to victory

00:31:04.946 --> 00:31:08.283
and an end to normal campaigning
due to the pandemic,

00:31:08.366 --> 00:31:12.870
Senator Bernie Sanders today
suspended his presidential race.

00:31:12.954 --> 00:31:16.833
So today I am asking
all Americans,

00:31:16.916 --> 00:31:18.167
I'm asking every Democrat

00:31:18.251 --> 00:31:19.085
and I'm asking
every independent.

00:31:19.168 --> 00:31:21.838
I'm asking a lot
of Republicans

00:31:21.921 --> 00:31:23.840
to come together
in this campaign

00:31:23.923 --> 00:31:28.344
to support your candidacy,
which I endorse,

00:31:28.428 --> 00:31:31.431
to make certain

00:31:31.514 --> 00:31:34.309
that we defeat somebody
who I believe,

00:31:34.392 --> 00:31:35.977
and I'm speaking
just for myself now,

00:31:36.060 --> 00:31:39.314
is the most
dangerous president

00:31:39.397 --> 00:31:41.357
in the modern history
of this country.

00:31:41.441 --> 00:31:42.650
Here's what I'm
hoping, Bernie.

00:31:42.734 --> 00:31:44.152
I'm hoping that the
American people are going to get

00:31:44.235 --> 00:31:46.613
a fresh look at really
who makes the country run.

00:31:46.696 --> 00:31:48.698
-I really mean it.
-Good.

00:31:49.532 --> 00:31:52.660
The question about who Sanders
supporters will vote for

00:31:52.744 --> 00:31:54.370
is an important one.

00:31:54.454 --> 00:31:56.164
But to me, the bigger question
is also if they will vote,

00:31:56.247 --> 00:32:00.335
because if they don't feel
like there is a candidate,

00:32:00.418 --> 00:32:03.129
or candidates who are
representing their needs,

00:32:03.212 --> 00:32:05.423
and pushing forwards
a policy that they think

00:32:05.506 --> 00:32:07.050
will make a difference
in their life,

00:32:07.133 --> 00:32:10.303
they might quite easily
just decide to stay home.

00:32:10.386 --> 00:32:13.514
And again, particularly at
a time when they are dealing

00:32:13.598 --> 00:32:17.060
with so many basics
of getting food on the table

00:32:17.143 --> 00:32:18.811
and keeping
their family healthy,

00:32:18.895 --> 00:32:22.273
the option of staying home
becomes much easier.

00:32:37.622 --> 00:32:39.415
We're here in Doral,
in Don Pan, in Miami

00:32:39.874 --> 00:32:41.084
engaging in some mutual aid,

00:32:41.167 --> 00:32:45.046
giving out food
to over 600 families.

00:32:45.129 --> 00:32:46.673
And also giving out gift cards

00:32:46.756 --> 00:32:49.342
and really calling on Governor
DeSantis to cut the checks.

00:32:49.425 --> 00:32:51.969
There are so many people
who have lost their jobs,

00:32:52.053 --> 00:32:54.389
who've applied for unemployment
and haven't gotten anything.

00:32:54.472 --> 00:32:58.935
Florida is clearly gonna be
a critical battleground state.

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:05.233
The Trump campaign
has done so many

00:33:05.316 --> 00:33:06.693
efforts to invest
in Florida.

00:33:06.776 --> 00:33:08.653
Trump has changed his official
residence to Florida.

00:33:08.736 --> 00:33:10.947
He launched his Hispanic

00:33:11.030 --> 00:33:12.323
outreach campaign
in Florida.

00:33:12.407 --> 00:33:16.536
They're really clear that they
cannot win the presidency

00:33:16.619 --> 00:33:18.121
without Florida's
29 electoral votes.

00:33:21.165 --> 00:33:22.500
Mike Pence is in Florida
campaigning, helping

00:33:22.583 --> 00:33:25.753
to win over Latino voters
for President Trump.

00:33:25.837 --> 00:33:27.088
I know for many of you
in this room,

00:33:27.171 --> 00:33:28.548
many of your families
fled socialist regimes

00:33:28.631 --> 00:33:31.134
in this hemisphere.

00:33:32.009 --> 00:33:34.887
And you came to freedom
in America.

00:33:34.971 --> 00:33:36.973
The demographics
of the Latino

00:33:37.056 --> 00:33:39.642
community in
Florida are changing.

00:33:39.726 --> 00:33:42.854
Puerto Ricans now make up the
largest Latino ethnic group.

00:33:42.937 --> 00:33:46.065
They're neck and
neck with the historic

00:33:46.149 --> 00:33:47.442
Cuban-American community

00:33:47.525 --> 00:33:48.985
so how is Joe Biden going
to rise to the occasion

00:33:49.068 --> 00:33:51.946
and build authentic
relationships

00:33:52.029 --> 00:33:54.657
with our communities?

00:33:57.994 --> 00:33:59.495
Here in Florida,
we've already lost--

00:33:59.579 --> 00:34:01.789
Fifteen-hundred people
have died in this pandemic

00:34:01.873 --> 00:34:05.251
and we will lose more people.

00:34:05.668 --> 00:34:07.879
The failure of Trump
to take swifter action

00:34:07.962 --> 00:34:12.300
has had devastating results
and damaged our economy,

00:34:12.842 --> 00:34:15.595
that is gonna take years
for us to overcome.

00:34:27.106 --> 00:34:29.317
We really believe
we have to show up

00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.486
for communities
in times of crisis.

00:34:31.569 --> 00:34:35.239
That's the kind of conversation
we need to be having now,

00:34:35.323 --> 00:34:36.282
and then we can we talk
to people around,

00:34:36.365 --> 00:34:38.117
"Are you registered
to vote by mail?"

00:34:44.707 --> 00:34:46.501
Latinos represent
one in five Floridians

00:34:46.584 --> 00:34:51.339
and they're also over 16% of
Florida's registered voters.

00:34:51.422 --> 00:34:56.844
But there's four million young
people and people of color

00:34:56.928 --> 00:34:58.179
that aren't voting,

00:34:58.262 --> 00:35:00.765
that are eligible to vote
and aren't registered

00:35:00.848 --> 00:35:02.433
or are not showing up
at the polls.

00:35:02.517 --> 00:35:07.146
We see that as our mission and
mandate to expand and energize

00:35:07.230 --> 00:35:10.358
the electorate
to transform our state.

00:35:13.611 --> 00:35:15.905
The Democrats have always
thought more

00:35:15.988 --> 00:35:18.074
in terms of working
on the margins, right?

00:35:18.157 --> 00:35:19.659
And bringing
in the margins.

00:35:19.742 --> 00:35:22.036
But I think now what they're
going to have to do

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:26.374
is convince those who
are undecided, undefined.

00:35:26.457 --> 00:35:28.209
Where are they gonna go, right?

00:35:28.292 --> 00:35:31.671
And some of the research
that we have for 2018

00:35:31.754 --> 00:35:33.923
tells us that a lot of the
undecided vote went Republican.

00:35:34.340 --> 00:35:38.177
So how do you convert that
into a Democratic vote?

00:35:41.848 --> 00:35:43.474
Republicans have done
a much better job

00:35:43.558 --> 00:35:46.227
of courting the evangelical
vote than the Democrats.

00:35:46.310 --> 00:35:49.647
Marco Rubio is an
evangelical Christian

00:35:49.730 --> 00:35:51.148
and prides
himself on that.

00:35:51.232 --> 00:35:56.153
It's an audience that the
Democrats must work on

00:35:56.237 --> 00:35:56.988
because they're the ones
who are gonna

00:35:57.071 --> 00:35:58.990
determine the outcome here.

00:36:05.496 --> 00:36:08.124
Testing, testing.

00:36:31.564 --> 00:36:33.524
-Amen.
-Alright.

00:36:35.443 --> 00:36:36.277
Thank you.

00:36:36.861 --> 00:36:39.322
One of the things that people
need to understand

00:36:39.405 --> 00:36:40.823
about Hispanic evangelicals,

00:36:40.907 --> 00:36:43.534
is that we are all over
the political spectrum.

00:36:46.287 --> 00:36:48.164
I think that
when people hear

00:36:48.247 --> 00:36:48.956
evangélico
or evangelical,

00:36:49.040 --> 00:36:50.333
they assume Republican.

00:36:50.416 --> 00:36:54.170
But when they hear Latino,
they assume Democrat.

00:36:54.253 --> 00:36:55.588
So what do you do when

00:36:55.671 --> 00:36:57.632
somebody inhabits
both identities?

00:36:57.715 --> 00:37:00.217
They're both Hispanic
and evangelical.

00:37:00.301 --> 00:37:02.094
Are they progressive
or are they conservative?

00:37:02.178 --> 00:37:06.140
And the reality is that maybe
Hispanic evangelicals

00:37:06.223 --> 00:37:07.934
can chart a way forward

00:37:08.017 --> 00:37:10.186
for a more nuanced
public discourse

00:37:10.269 --> 00:37:12.939
that says no political party
has a monopoly

00:37:13.022 --> 00:37:17.944
on gospel values
or Hispanic priorities.

00:37:40.174 --> 00:37:41.884
The fastest-growing group
of evangelicals

00:37:42.426 --> 00:37:44.845
are brown evangelicals
or Hispanic evangelicals.

00:37:44.929 --> 00:37:45.638
There's about, probably,
nine million

00:37:45.721 --> 00:37:48.557
Hispanic evangelicals in the US.

00:37:48.641 --> 00:37:50.726
Probably six million
of voting age.

00:37:50.810 --> 00:37:51.936
About 40% of Hispanic
evangelicals

00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:53.813
are registered
independent.

00:37:53.896 --> 00:37:57.900
And when Obama ran,
in his two terms,

00:37:57.984 --> 00:37:59.568
he won a slim majority

00:37:59.652 --> 00:38:02.405
and George W. Bush
won a slim majority

00:38:02.488 --> 00:38:03.322
of Hispanic evangelicals.

00:38:03.406 --> 00:38:05.241
So when they see us, they say,

00:38:05.324 --> 00:38:07.952
"Well, if this is the
group of Hispanics

00:38:08.035 --> 00:38:09.370
"that's up for grabs,

00:38:09.453 --> 00:38:10.746
"we need to really
reach out to them."

00:38:10.830 --> 00:38:13.290
I've had conversations
with people at the White House,

00:38:13.374 --> 00:38:15.334
and people
from the Biden campaign

00:38:15.418 --> 00:38:18.254
and I'm saying, "What are you
gonna say about immigration?

00:38:18.337 --> 00:38:19.839
"What are you gonna do
about healthcare?

00:38:19.922 --> 00:38:21.716
"What about
criminal justice reform?

00:38:21.799 --> 00:38:23.426
"What about religious liberty?

00:38:23.509 --> 00:38:25.428
"And what are you gonna do
about life?"

00:38:25.511 --> 00:38:27.888
And when you speak to those
whole host of issues,

00:38:27.972 --> 00:38:29.640
no party has a monopoly.

00:38:29.724 --> 00:38:32.977
If I'm going to be honest, is
we're politically homeless.

00:38:33.060 --> 00:38:34.270
We are politically homeless

00:38:34.353 --> 00:38:35.730
and that's why
so many of us, like me,

00:38:36.022 --> 00:38:37.481
are registered
independent,

00:38:37.565 --> 00:38:38.649
looking for a platform that
speaks to the priorities

00:38:38.733 --> 00:38:41.027
that are so close to home,

00:38:41.110 --> 00:38:42.987
and that matter to our kids
and our children

00:38:43.070 --> 00:38:45.364
and our grandchildren
and our abuelitos

00:38:45.448 --> 00:38:46.407
and our abuelitas.

00:38:46.490 --> 00:38:48.034
Hallelujah!

00:39:20.357 --> 00:39:23.778
Traditionally, campaigns
are focused on in-person stuff,

00:39:23.861 --> 00:39:27.531
like barnstorming
or door knocking.

00:39:27.615 --> 00:39:30.117
Now, with the coronavirus,
it's pretty clear

00:39:30.201 --> 00:39:33.162
that no one is going to be going
to anybody's home anytime soon.

00:39:33.245 --> 00:39:36.332
And that means that there's
gonna be an outsized reliance

00:39:36.415 --> 00:39:37.375
on digital connections.

00:39:37.458 --> 00:39:40.044
And so, as we're facing
an election

00:39:40.127 --> 00:39:42.922
at a time where society
is on edge,

00:39:43.005 --> 00:39:45.674
we need to not only
let people know

00:39:45.758 --> 00:39:47.802
how, where,
and when to vote,

00:39:47.885 --> 00:39:51.180
especially those who have never
voted by mail before.

00:39:51.263 --> 00:39:53.849
We also need to give them
a reason to vote.

00:40:39.353 --> 00:40:40.896
Everything on the Las Vegas
strip has been shutdown.

00:40:40.980 --> 00:40:43.065
Unemployment is
crazy high out here.

00:40:43.149 --> 00:40:46.819
We only have essential workers
going to work right now.

00:40:46.902 --> 00:40:49.738
There has been some casinos,
such as the Wynn

00:40:49.822 --> 00:40:51.490
that have agreed
to pay their employees,

00:40:51.574 --> 00:40:53.159
but then there's also
other casinos

00:40:53.242 --> 00:40:54.034
who haven't done the same.

00:40:55.077 --> 00:40:56.954
It's a difficult
thing to deal with

00:40:57.580 --> 00:41:01.167
with our community, knowing
that we are at the core

00:41:01.250 --> 00:41:03.502
of so many essential
businesses.

00:41:03.586 --> 00:41:07.006
There are those few who
might still have their job,

00:41:07.089 --> 00:41:09.550
but then they are struggling
with having to go to work

00:41:09.633 --> 00:41:12.344
during this pandemic, knowing
that they don't have insurance

00:41:12.428 --> 00:41:14.763
for themselves or that
they might have children

00:41:14.847 --> 00:41:16.390
at home who they fear
would get sick.

00:41:17.099 --> 00:41:19.685
We've been doing
everything we can

00:41:19.768 --> 00:41:21.812
to connect our community
to different resources

00:41:21.896 --> 00:41:25.065
that are available, whether
that be food pantries

00:41:25.149 --> 00:41:26.734
or answering questions

00:41:26.817 --> 00:41:29.820
about rental assistance,
unemployment.

00:41:30.696 --> 00:41:33.532
Although Bernie did drop out
of the race, I'm very hopeful

00:41:33.616 --> 00:41:36.911
that here in Nevada,
we can continue to motivate

00:41:36.994 --> 00:41:39.413
Latino voters to stay engaged.

00:41:39.955 --> 00:41:43.125
We are very
hopeful that Biden

00:41:43.209 --> 00:41:45.252
will come to
us a community

00:41:45.711 --> 00:41:46.837
to listen to our needs.

00:41:47.630 --> 00:41:51.634
We hope that we can continue
to push the Democratic Party

00:41:51.717 --> 00:41:54.345
more towards the left.

00:42:01.727 --> 00:42:03.187
[Attorney General Ellison]
Today, I've filed

00:42:03.270 --> 00:42:04.813
an amended complaint

00:42:04.897 --> 00:42:06.398
that charges former Minneapolis
police officer Derek Chauvin

00:42:06.482 --> 00:42:10.903
for murder in the second-degree
for the death of George Floyd.

00:42:11.695 --> 00:42:13.697
[announcer] This is a
coordinated activity

00:42:13.781 --> 00:42:16.533
happening across
this nation.

00:42:16.617 --> 00:42:18.452
Black people are dying.

00:42:18.535 --> 00:42:21.288
And so young people
are responding to that.

00:42:21.372 --> 00:42:24.458
They are enraged and there's
an easy way to stop it.

00:42:24.541 --> 00:42:25.501
Arrest the cops.

00:42:25.584 --> 00:42:29.046
Charge them in every city
across America

00:42:29.129 --> 00:42:30.923
where our people
are being murdered.

00:42:33.759 --> 00:42:34.927
Breonna Taylor!

00:42:35.427 --> 00:42:37.638
-Say her name!
-Breonna Taylor!

00:42:37.721 --> 00:42:40.391
We're a peaceful movement.
They shoot us.

00:42:41.558 --> 00:42:41.892
It ain't right.

00:42:48.482 --> 00:42:49.358
[chanting] Don't shoot!

00:42:49.441 --> 00:42:51.485
Don't shoot!

00:42:51.568 --> 00:42:53.279
Don't shoot!

00:42:53.737 --> 00:42:54.822
Don't shoot!

00:42:54.905 --> 00:42:56.657
Black lives matter!
Black lives matter!

00:42:56.740 --> 00:42:59.994
Black lives matter!
Black lives matter!

00:43:00.411 --> 00:43:02.579
You know,
America's issues with race

00:43:02.663 --> 00:43:03.998
have been simmering
for a while.

00:43:08.252 --> 00:43:09.253
And I hate that
it took that video

00:43:09.628 --> 00:43:12.047
of George Floyd being killed

00:43:12.131 --> 00:43:14.758
for so many people
to wake up and realize

00:43:14.842 --> 00:43:15.467
that this is a systemic issue.

00:43:16.051 --> 00:43:19.680
We've seen Defund the Police
become something

00:43:19.763 --> 00:43:22.433
that maybe people thought
was just incredibly radical

00:43:22.516 --> 00:43:25.769
to something that people see
as very real, tangible

00:43:25.853 --> 00:43:28.647
and something that needs
to be implemented right away.

00:43:28.731 --> 00:43:32.401
Silence is complicity
with white supremacy!

00:43:32.484 --> 00:43:35.487
Which side are you on?

00:43:35.571 --> 00:43:36.780
Which side are you on?

00:43:36.864 --> 00:43:40.075
I think the most important thing
the Latino community

00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:42.953
can do in the wake
of George Floyd's murder

00:43:43.037 --> 00:43:45.497
is to interrogate
anti-Blackness.

00:43:45.581 --> 00:43:49.710
If we haven't reckoned with
the ways that racism works

00:43:49.793 --> 00:43:51.837
in our countries
of origin,

00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:53.339
then we're gonna struggle

00:43:53.422 --> 00:43:55.674
with dealing
with racism here.

00:43:56.425 --> 00:43:58.594
There are Afro-Latinos who
are still uncomfortable

00:43:58.677 --> 00:43:59.928
calling themselves Black.

00:44:00.554 --> 00:44:05.476
And it's because they have
been taught anti-Blackness.

00:44:05.976 --> 00:44:06.477
They've been taught to distance
themselves

00:44:06.560 --> 00:44:08.896
from Blackness

00:44:08.979 --> 00:44:10.898
because of where it sits
on the social hierarchy.

00:44:10.981 --> 00:44:12.900
People are challenging that.

00:44:12.983 --> 00:44:14.526
When it comes
to colorism,

00:44:14.610 --> 00:44:17.237
I think that people
are finally demanding

00:44:17.321 --> 00:44:20.991
that people who benefit
from whiteness

00:44:21.075 --> 00:44:23.077
declare that privilege,

00:44:23.160 --> 00:44:25.245
but also do something about it.

00:44:32.127 --> 00:44:34.838
We're moving from
sympathy to solidarity.

00:44:35.381 --> 00:44:38.133
The issues of ethnicity
and the attack on the poor

00:44:38.217 --> 00:44:42.054
and locking up other people
of color from cages

00:44:42.388 --> 00:44:43.764
to holding somebody's neck down,

00:44:44.306 --> 00:44:46.600
there's a deeper sense
of solidarity.

00:44:46.683 --> 00:44:49.853
So now people that haven't voted
are interested.

00:44:54.108 --> 00:44:57.528
A lot of people that live
here are essential workers.

00:44:58.070 --> 00:45:00.030
So it's not until recently,
the last couple of weeks,

00:45:00.114 --> 00:45:03.200
that people are
actually being tested.

00:45:03.701 --> 00:45:04.868
All week long,
we give food out,

00:45:04.952 --> 00:45:06.912
especially for families
that are undocumented.

00:45:06.995 --> 00:45:10.666
So we're giving out like
5,000 to 10,000 meals a week

00:45:10.749 --> 00:45:12.459
to our Latino community.

00:45:13.085 --> 00:45:17.673
There are 930,000 Latinos in
the state of Pennsylvania.

00:45:17.756 --> 00:45:19.341
Fifteen percent live
in Philadelphia.

00:45:19.425 --> 00:45:24.805
So, if the 235,000 Latinos
in Philadelphia County alone

00:45:24.888 --> 00:45:28.767
turn out to vote, that's huge.

00:45:43.073 --> 00:45:47.161
After Hurricane Maria, we had
a lot of families come this way.

00:45:47.244 --> 00:45:52.416
We know that many people
in Puerto Rico lost everything.

00:45:52.499 --> 00:45:56.044
You know, their homes,
their belongings,

00:45:56.128 --> 00:45:57.421
everything that
they owned.

00:45:57.880 --> 00:45:59.089
And so a lot of people came here

00:45:59.173 --> 00:46:01.008
because many already have
support systems

00:46:01.091 --> 00:46:04.636
or family members
that are part of the city.

00:46:06.930 --> 00:46:09.766
Puerto Ricans, by birth
are American citizens,

00:46:09.850 --> 00:46:11.602
but in the general election,
we can not vote.

00:46:11.685 --> 00:46:14.688
Unless, because we are citizens,

00:46:14.771 --> 00:46:18.942
we move to one of the 50 states
and then re-register as voters

00:46:19.026 --> 00:46:20.235
in one of those states,

00:46:20.319 --> 00:46:23.071
then we're able
to vote for president.

00:46:23.155 --> 00:46:24.823
I think the
Puerto Rican vote

00:46:24.907 --> 00:46:27.951
will definitely play a
big role in Pennsylvania.

00:46:28.035 --> 00:46:31.330
We have really the
power of swinging the vote.

00:46:31.622 --> 00:46:34.041
[chanting in Spanish]

00:47:11.411 --> 00:47:14.164
It could be a tipping
point if we finally realize

00:47:14.248 --> 00:47:18.001
how the vote affects
every aspect of our lives.

00:47:18.085 --> 00:47:21.713
It might be an angry vote, but
it's gonna be vote nonetheless.

00:47:25.050 --> 00:47:26.093
Small shifts in the Latino vote

00:47:26.176 --> 00:47:29.680
can lead a presidential
candidate to win

00:47:29.763 --> 00:47:33.392
in critical battleground states
and therefore win the election.

00:47:33.850 --> 00:47:37.062
Hispanic outreach
and the issues

00:47:37.145 --> 00:47:38.981
that Republican
candidates have focused on

00:47:39.064 --> 00:47:41.817
have, in some ways,
changed over time,

00:47:41.900 --> 00:47:43.610
but they have also,
in many ways,

00:47:43.694 --> 00:47:45.487
stayed remarkably
consistent.

00:47:45.571 --> 00:47:49.658
I think the party's efforts
to reach out to Latinos

00:47:49.741 --> 00:47:52.119
early on in the
1950s and 1960s

00:47:52.202 --> 00:47:54.204
had a lot to do
with the Cold War

00:47:54.288 --> 00:47:56.832
and I think anti-socialism
and anti-communism.

00:47:56.915 --> 00:47:59.668
And anti-radicalism has been
a much more consistent message

00:47:59.751 --> 00:48:02.421
over a long period of time.

00:48:02.504 --> 00:48:05.090
Where's my phone?
Are you guys ready?

00:48:06.008 --> 00:48:08.135
The first thing we do,
before we put up the yard signs

00:48:08.218 --> 00:48:09.636
you gotta dance to
a little salsa, alright?

00:48:09.720 --> 00:48:12.514
First of all, let me just thank
each and every one of you guys

00:48:12.598 --> 00:48:14.850
for making it out today.

00:48:15.309 --> 00:48:16.727
I really appreciate
all the support.

00:48:17.311 --> 00:48:20.564
I'm running for State
Representative, okay?

00:48:22.232 --> 00:48:24.651
Conservative Hispanics
have been marginalized

00:48:24.735 --> 00:48:25.861
because they
don't fall in line

00:48:25.944 --> 00:48:27.738
with how other Hispanics vote.

00:48:27.821 --> 00:48:30.449
You know, smaller government,
religious liberties,

00:48:30.532 --> 00:48:31.825
the Second Amendment right.
Those are all things

00:48:31.908 --> 00:48:34.661
that are very near and dear
to conservative Hispanics.

00:48:34.745 --> 00:48:37.706
Democrat voters, they think
it's a monolithic culture,

00:48:37.789 --> 00:48:40.167
and it's not, Hispanics
are very diverse.

00:48:43.879 --> 00:48:46.381
I'm a first-generation American
of Cuban descent,

00:48:46.465 --> 00:48:50.469
my parents and my grandparents
are exiles from Cuba.

00:48:50.552 --> 00:48:52.012
They were forced to flee their
country

00:48:52.095 --> 00:48:54.181
because of communism
and socialism.

00:48:54.765 --> 00:48:57.559
As a Cuban-American,
it's really important for me

00:48:57.643 --> 00:49:00.520
to be involved and make sure
that we don't

00:49:00.604 --> 00:49:02.689
have our country slide
into socialism or communism.

00:49:03.231 --> 00:49:05.817
We're gonna win and
we're gonna win big, alright?

00:49:06.735 --> 00:49:10.072
We're gonna do so much winning
your head's gonna be spinning.

00:49:10.947 --> 00:49:12.240
The Young Republicans
is an organization

00:49:12.324 --> 00:49:18.080
that focuses on young voters
between the ages of 18 and 40.

00:49:18.163 --> 00:49:19.414
And we get people
registered to vote,

00:49:19.498 --> 00:49:23.627
we help out campaigns
by knocking on doors.

00:49:25.462 --> 00:49:29.174
You see a lot of young people
starting to realize

00:49:29.257 --> 00:49:32.177
that they have this agency
and they have this power

00:49:32.260 --> 00:49:34.930
and they're experimenting on how
to use their growing influence.

00:49:36.098 --> 00:49:38.016
You're seeing
the removal of statues,

00:49:38.100 --> 00:49:40.102
you're seeing
the erasure of history,

00:49:40.185 --> 00:49:43.647
you're seeing the suppression
of expression

00:49:43.730 --> 00:49:45.107
through this monoculture.

00:49:45.190 --> 00:49:48.819
I think that you're seeing
people's religious liberties

00:49:48.902 --> 00:49:52.155
be tamped down
and it's very scary to see

00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.658
the same mistakes of the past
being repeated today,

00:49:54.741 --> 00:49:57.703
and people just pretending that
that history didn't happen.

00:49:57.786 --> 00:50:00.205
So, you know,
I'll be damned if I allow

00:50:00.288 --> 00:50:04.710
the country to slide into
communism without fighting it.

00:50:48.587 --> 00:50:52.340
Beep! Beep! Beep for Biden!

00:50:52.424 --> 00:50:53.800
We are in
unprecedented times.

00:50:53.884 --> 00:50:58.096
We have a president who doesn't
care about Americans' lives.

00:50:58.722 --> 00:51:00.140
He cares about one person,
and that's Donald Trump.

00:51:00.223 --> 00:51:03.518
And he only cares about his
re-election.

00:51:03.602 --> 00:51:06.313
In the midst of this pandemic,
we are proving

00:51:06.396 --> 00:51:09.191
by doing these socially
distanced demonstrations

00:51:09.274 --> 00:51:11.985
that there is tons of support
for Joe Biden

00:51:12.068 --> 00:51:14.154
in communities
like Miami-Dade county.

00:51:14.237 --> 00:51:15.530
We are going to be the state

00:51:15.614 --> 00:51:17.824
that will deny Donald Trump
re-election.

00:51:18.533 --> 00:51:20.118
Beep for Biden!
Viva, viva, viva!

00:51:43.975 --> 00:51:45.393
I was born in Cuba.

00:51:45.477 --> 00:51:48.438
I came to the United States
in 2001 with my family.

00:51:48.939 --> 00:51:50.816
My family and I, we fled
political persecution in Cuba,

00:51:50.899 --> 00:51:53.985
and so nobody needs
to explain to me

00:51:54.069 --> 00:51:55.529
what communism is.

00:51:55.612 --> 00:51:57.072
Nobody has to explain
to me and my family,

00:51:57.155 --> 00:52:00.909
what authoritarianism is,
what oppression is.

00:52:04.371 --> 00:52:08.166
When we see Donald Trump
attack a free and fair press,

00:52:08.250 --> 00:52:09.709
when we see Donald Trump

00:52:09.793 --> 00:52:11.086
propagate his own
propaganda networks,

00:52:11.169 --> 00:52:15.882
when we see Donald Trump
attack and threaten to jail

00:52:15.966 --> 00:52:17.676
political opponents,

00:52:17.759 --> 00:52:20.846
we see what we saw in Cuba.

00:52:20.929 --> 00:52:22.848
And we already
lost one homeland.

00:52:22.931 --> 00:52:26.309
And we absolutely refuse
to lose another.

00:52:27.227 --> 00:52:29.354
Many of my own
family members

00:52:29.437 --> 00:52:30.772
that were once strong
Republicans,

00:52:30.856 --> 00:52:34.109
I know will proudly support
Joe Biden come November.

00:52:34.192 --> 00:52:36.152
And it's because he's
someone that unites people.

00:52:36.236 --> 00:52:39.447
Joe Biden understands
the Latino community,

00:52:39.531 --> 00:52:42.492
we know Joe Biden,
and that's why we are so eager

00:52:42.576 --> 00:52:43.910
to come out and support him

00:52:43.994 --> 00:52:45.829
as the next president
of the United States.

00:52:46.413 --> 00:52:49.666
[chanting] Vote for Biden!
Beep for Biden!

00:52:49.749 --> 00:52:51.668
Let's go, Joe!

00:52:51.751 --> 00:52:53.169
I think a lot of Latinos
will probably vote

00:52:53.253 --> 00:52:58.008
from a basis of fear
as opposed to a basis of hope.

00:52:58.091 --> 00:53:02.178
You want people to have hope
and to feel that

00:53:02.262 --> 00:53:06.349
their political beliefs
are embodied in their candidate.

00:53:06.433 --> 00:53:08.018
We know that the Latino vote
is going to be critical,

00:53:08.101 --> 00:53:10.604
just like the Black vote
is going to be critical

00:53:10.687 --> 00:53:13.732
for any Democratic candidate.

00:53:13.815 --> 00:53:14.983
That's why it
really matters

00:53:15.066 --> 00:53:16.943
that there's investment
in strategies

00:53:17.027 --> 00:53:20.989
that mobilize our communities
and persuade our communities

00:53:21.072 --> 00:53:22.532
on why they should vote
for a given candidate.

00:53:23.033 --> 00:53:25.035
To win the election,
I think

00:53:25.118 --> 00:53:27.162
President Trump
needs to remind voters

00:53:27.245 --> 00:53:29.372
why they voted for him
in the first place.

00:53:29.456 --> 00:53:31.541
Trump is looking
to improve the economy.

00:53:31.625 --> 00:53:33.168
He has a record
of doing that.

00:53:33.251 --> 00:53:35.420
That's the kind of president
that we need right now

00:53:35.503 --> 00:53:37.756
to get us out of this
COVID slump.

00:53:38.298 --> 00:53:39.799
I think it's
really important

00:53:39.883 --> 00:53:41.676
that we all just don't
get involved for today,

00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:42.844
for the elections,
for these months.

00:53:42.928 --> 00:53:45.722
We need to continue
to stay involved

00:53:45.805 --> 00:53:47.682
and informed every single day.

00:53:48.224 --> 00:53:49.476
We're very worried about

00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:50.894
what's happening
with the Post Office

00:53:50.977 --> 00:53:51.519
and mail-in votes.

00:53:51.603 --> 00:53:53.813
And the sense that

00:53:53.897 --> 00:53:56.816
people's right to vote
is being sabotaged.

00:53:56.900 --> 00:53:58.777
Young people are gonna
show up remembering

00:53:58.860 --> 00:54:00.820
how the federal government
behaved, following the killing

00:54:00.904 --> 00:54:03.949
of George Floyd
and Breonna Taylor.

00:54:04.407 --> 00:54:05.992
Black lives matter!

00:54:06.076 --> 00:54:07.702
They're gonna remember these
things at the ballot box.

00:54:08.244 --> 00:54:11.998
Everything that's occurred
in this chaotic year

00:54:12.082 --> 00:54:13.625
has only made clear

00:54:13.708 --> 00:54:16.753
that there's severe racial
and ethnic disparities

00:54:16.836 --> 00:54:18.964
that need to be addressed.

00:54:38.441 --> 00:54:42.320
I hereby declare that I will
support and defend

00:54:42.404 --> 00:54:46.783
the Constitution and laws
of the United States of America.
