@03:38 Kamala says:
"The only way we can truly achieve change is when there are people IN the system who are willing or pushing to do it, AND when there are those folks who are outside of the system DEMANDING it.
"I am VERY clear that some of the success we've been able to achieve around criminal justice reform would NOT have happened in recent years were it not for Black Lives Matter. And the intensity and the brilliance of that movement that forced, at least, that there would be some counter force to the status quo which is SO reluctant for change - if not HOSTILE to change.
THAT'S what these movements do. That - where these systems are SO invested and engrained in what THEY call "tradition" but is "status quo," often which can be wrong-headed, these movements provide a counter-force to get us to where we need to be."
@05:23 Stephen Colbert says:
"I wanna make clear that - I know there are protests STILL happening …"
Kamala: "Yea."
Colbert: "… in major cities across the United States, I've just not seen the reporting on it…"
Kamala: "Right."
Colbert: "… that I had…"
Kamala: "Right. That's right."
Colbert: "… in the first few weeks."
Kamala: "That's right. But they're not gonna stop. They're not gonna stop.
And that's… this is a MOVEMENT, I'm telling you.
They're not gonna stop. And… and everyone beware, because they're not gonna stop.
They're not gonna stop before election day in November, and they're not gonna stop AFTER election day.
And that should be… everyone should take note of that - on both levels - that this isn't… they're not gonna let up.
And they SHOULD not. And we should not."
