Speaker 2: running around talking about Trump's for blacks, blacks for Trumps,
Speaker 2: blacks for Trump, I want you to understand something You'll
Speaker 2: never find. Nothing about Trump for blacks, but all these
Speaker 2: blacks for Trumps. How ignorant can you be? When a
Speaker 2: man does nothing for you, you want to do everything
Speaker 2: for him. So, all y'all blacks for Trumps, can you
Speaker 2: please show me how Trump is for blacks? Just show me,
Speaker 2: Just show me, And don't don't point to the last
Speaker 2: time he was in the White House, this economic jump

Speaker 2: I want you to remember, now, that was what they
Speaker 2: were claiming, was Obamacare. That's what the Affordable Care Act is.
Speaker 2: But don't you remember all the Republicans were saying when
Speaker 2: they get in office, first thing they're gonna do is
Speaker 2: repeal and replace Obamacare. Yes, you ain't heard no more
Speaker 2: about that, have you? You ain't heard Trump say that
Speaker 2: one time? Because they found it out. They found out
Speaker 2: his ragged ass constituents needed it too, right, So now
Speaker 2: they wanted to stop calling it Obamacare all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: now it's the Affordable Care Act. You follow what them saying.
Speaker 2: Y'all need to pay attention to what this Biden administration
Speaker 2: has done and get off the sidelines and get out
Speaker 2: and vote. And they're gonna highlight also how housing was
Speaker 2: made more affordable and childcare costs were lowered by securing
Speaker 2: thirty percent increase in funding for Childcare Development Block grant.
