Hey, this is Kai. Every week on this show, we ask you to join the conversation in some way by email by voicemail on

Instagram and the person managing all of these various inboxes is our producer

Regina Dehear and she joins me once again to open the listener mailbox.

Hey Regina. Hi, Kai. Last time we did this, I told you that we got our largest response to a single episode. That was after our show on

Democratic-leaning voters who are upset at President Joe Biden because of

Gaza. And I said that didn't surprise me one bit. Well, I'm sure it won't surprise you that actually,

our episode about black voters who are, quote,

Trump curious has surpassed that response.

Of course, we should note though that. surpassed that

we had that conversation before he became a convicted felon.

But people did articulate a wide range of reasons why they were newly drawn to Trump at the time.

And we continue to hear responses all across the board. Let's take a listen.

My name is Thornton. I'm interested in Trump, but I definitely think he's racist

and I wish he would say something to prove differently and I think he would do well but

Unfortunately as of right now. I haven't seen anything

So that's my point of view.

Yeah, tough choices the election.

I wouldn't vote for Trump because he is already humiliating immigrants of Africa as I am an

immigrant from Africa and knowing him and listening to what he says he actually reminds me of

dictators in Africa. This is how they start. But the choice is so ridiculous and we have to vote for Biden or Trump.

Voting for Biden is like being part of the genocide.

So I am not working for anyone this November.
