♪ HEY, HEY, HEY, YO ♪
>> I AM SO EXCITED TO WELCOME
OUR NEXT GUEST.
SHE IS A CNN POLITICAL
COMMENTATOR AND A DEMOCRATIC
STRATEGIST.
PLEASE WELCOME SYMONE SANDERS.
>> HI.
♪
>> GREETINGS.
>> GREETINGS.
FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T MEAN TO
MAKE IT ABOUT THIS, BUT I'M
GOING TO.
YOU ARE 27.
>> I AM.
MY BIRTHDAY IS DECEMBER 10th.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> I'M A SAJ TEGITTAREUS.
>> YOU GOT A START IN POLITICS
VERY YOUNG.
YOU WERE 16 WHEN YOU GOT A JOB
WORKING FOR THE MAYOR OF OMAHA.
>> YES, FORMER MAYOR OF OMAHA.
I WAS A COMMUNICATIONS ASSISTANT
IN THE OFFICE, AND I TRIED TO --
>> BECAUSE?
>> YOU KNOW, THEY JUST DIDN'T
LIKE WHAT HE WAS DOING.
>> CAN WE DO THAT?
CAN YOU RECALL THINGS?
>> WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS TO
HAVE A RECALL ELECTION, YOU HAVE
TO AN ELECTION.
>> IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
>> SO MUCH.
>> THEY TRIED TO RECALL THE
MAYOR, SO I WENT TO GO VOLUNTEER
ON THE RECALL ELECTION.
WE BEAT THE RECALLS.
WE DIDN'T END UP HAVING A
RECALL.
FROM THERE I GOT SUPER INVOLVED
WITH THE FIRM OUT OF TENNESSEE
THAT CAME IN AND HELPED WITH THE
RECALL CAMPAIGN.
I'VE BEEN DOING POLITICS.
RECAL
RECALL, RECALL, RECALL.
>> YOU ARE POLITICALLY ACTIVE,
AND TODAY'S EPISODE IS ALL ABOUT
BEING WOKE.
I THINK IT'S A GREAT QUESTION TO
ASK YOU WHAT IS BEING WOKE MEAN
TO YOU?
>> SO, YOU KNOW, A GOOD FRIEND
OF MINE WHO IS AN ACTIVIST AND
AN EDUCATOR.
YES, SHOUT OUT TO DE RAY, AND HE
ALWAYS SAYS NOBODY IS BORN WOKE.
SOMETHING WAKES YOU UP.
OKAY?
>> OH.
>> I TOTALLY -- I WANT TO REPEAT
THAT EVERYWHERE I GO BECAUSE I
BELIEVE THAT.
ONE, LIKE THE DEFINITION OF WOKE
IS ABOUT A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF
AWARENESS, AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY
ABOUT THIS SENSE OF AWARENESS IS
TIED TO BEING A BLACK PERSON
NAVIGATING LIFE IN AMERICA.
>> OKAY.
I WANT TO BE WOKE.
>> AND YOU CAN BE WOKE.
SO WOKE REALLY MEANS YOU HAVE TO
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT -- PEOPLE
ALWAYS WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
FACT THAT WOMEN ONLY EARN 79
CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR A MAN
MAKES, BUT THAT'S WHITE WOMEN.
BLACK WOMEN ONLY EARN 64 CENTS
FOR EVERY DOLLAR A WHITE MAN
MAKES, AND LATINO WOMEN ONLY
EARN 54 CENTS.
IN THE WOMEN RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN
THE PAY EQUITY MOVEMENT, WE CAN
TALK ABOUT OUR ISSUES, BUT WE
CAN'T PAINT WITH A BROAD STROKE
BRUSH.
>> HOWL DO YOU APPLY THAT AT A
PROTEST, WHICH I'M SURE YOU HAVE
BEEN TO YOUR FAIR SHARE OF, AND
YOU ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE OTHER
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, A BIG THEME
WITH PROTESTING IS RESIST.
THAT'S A BIG IDEA.
IT'S A BIG THEME.
WHAT DOES RESIST MEAN, AND HOW
DO YOU RESIST WHEN YOU FEEL SO
SHACKLED?
>> I AM A STAUNCH MEMBER OF THE
RESISTANCE.
I'M NOT HERE FOR THE CURRENT
PREBZ PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
I VOTED FOR BERNIE.
>> DONALD TRUMP.
>> I THINK PROTESTS AND MARCHES
ARE SUPER IMPORTANT, BUT, AGAIN,
LOOK AT THE WOMEN'S MARCH, FOR
EXAMPLE.
THE WOMEN'S MARCH WAS SO -- THEY
GOT A LOT OF BAD PRESS EARLY ON
BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WOMEN OF
COL
COLOR.
IF THE MARCH WAS REALLY ABOUT
ALL WOMEN AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE, YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, YOU HAVE TO
INCLUDE WOMEN OF COLOR IN THAT
CONVERSATION.
WE HAVE TO BE REALLY, REALLY
INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHAT IT IS
THAT WE DO, WHETHER IT'S
PROTESTING, WHETHER IT'S
MARCHING, BECAUSE ALL FORMS OF
DISRUPTION, BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS
REALLY IS, ARE SUPER IMPORTANT
AND ARE NEEDED.
THE PRESIDENT, I DON'T CARE WHAT
HE TWEETS, HE DEFINITELY CARES
ABOUT THESE MARCHES.
THESE GET UNDER HIS SKIN.
I THINK THEY'RE EFFECTIVE.
>> WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
YOU'RE AN EXTREMELY DRIVEN
MOTIVATED WOMAN.
YOU WERE THE PRESS SECRETARY FOR
BERNIE SANDERS.
>> NO RELATION.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK DID YOU
GET THIS JOB FROM NEPOTISM?
>> NO RELATION.
EVERYWHERE I WENT I HAD TO SAY
IT.
ONCE I WAS ON THE RADIO, AND HE
IS, LIKE, I'M HERE WITH BERNIE
SANDERS PRESS SECRETARY, AND
SHE'S NOT RELATED.
TRUST ME.
I'M LOOKING AT HER.
>> I'M GOING TO STAY ENGAGED IN
POLITICS, BUT I'M WRITING A
BOOK.
I'M DOING THE BOOK THAT ET
CETERA GOING TO BE A YOUNG
LEAN-IN.
ALSO, YOU WANT TO GALVANIZE.
HOW DO YOU REALLY GO AFTER
THINGS YOU WANT TO GO AFTER?
I'M GOING TO WRITE ABOUT THAT.
NEXT SPRING MY BOOK SHOULD BE
COMING OUT, AND WE'LL SEE WHAT
GOES ON.
>> SYMONE SANDERS, THANK YOU FOR
COMING.
IF YOU WANT TO BE FULLY WOKE,
YOU NEED TO VOLUNTEER AND
PARTICIPATE IN GOVERNMENT.
NOT JUST TWEET BLACK LIVES
MATTER ONCE A MONTH.
