The potential candidacy of Val Demings is discussed as an alternative to Kamala Harris. The hosts analyze the "Boule" dynamics at play, noting Roland Martin's support for his "sister" Kamala Harris due to their respective Greek-letter organization ties (Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha). They argue that Demings, as a former police chief, faces the same "cop" criticism as Harris but lacks Harris's national infrastructure.
Karen Hunter advocates for Val Demings, arguing she could help Biden win the swing state of Florida. The hosts remain skeptical, questioning if black men who sat out in 2016 would really show up for a former police chief. They reiterate that the endorsement of a "senile" Joe Biden by figures like Obama and Martin is not credible and suggests a hidden game plan involving the VP pick.
The hosts conclude that the "black man vote" has become the "crown jewel" of the 2020 election. They argue that the segment of the population that refused to vote in 2016 now holds the most power, as both parties are desperate to "activate" them. They encourage listeners to "get on code" and recognize their leverage against establishment talking heads like Roland Martin and Karen Hunter.
