Tariq & Ibrahim discuss a telling exchange between two candidates for Florida's Governorship, former congressman Ron DeSantis and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, where Gillum utters the phrase "a hit dog hollers" responding to DeSantis' rejecting assertions that he is a racist.

Tariq & Ibrahim go on to discuss the Young Black Leadership Summit, a group of pro-Trump conservative African-Americans who met with the President at the white house, and what the Democratic Party should glean from events like this.
