We're gonna keep 58 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 7: doing the work. 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 5: We ask you for the personal question because one of 60 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 5: the things that Andrew had to go through, I guess 61 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 5: what year was that? Andrew eighteen year races twenty eighteen. 62 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 5: In twenty eighteen, he went through yesterday in twenty fourteen, 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 5: I had to go through it. I ran for lieutenant governor, 64 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 5: gave up my state house seed. Andrew gave up his 65 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 5: mayoral seed, and ran and wasn't successful. We tried to 66 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 5: trip away at the glass and now you're in this 67 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 5: same phase. It kind of feels like you're in the 68 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 5: wilderness for a minute because you've you've been attached to 69 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 5: something for so long. But tell people who have not 70 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 5: been there, you know, because a lot of times they 71 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 5: see politicians win or lose, and they don't really know 72 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 5: what it feels like to go through that when you're 73 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 5: not on that high of winning, and what are you 74 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 5: doing to help figure out what the next step is 75 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 5: and how are you getting there? What's up, brother Ford, 76 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 5: to determine, to determine what's next for you, that's a 77 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 5: great question. 78 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 7: First and foremost, rest, pray, meditate, spend time with my family. 79 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 7: First and foremost. That's what I did for the first 80 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,559 Speaker 7: few weeks after the races are exhausting, as we all knowing, yes, exhausting, 81 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 7: So just resting and spend time with my. 82 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 6: Family when they spend time calling you something you're not well. 83 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 7: More money spent against me than any congressional race in history, 84 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 7: and so the ads were constant, the mailers were constant 85 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 7: to tell it was really really crazy. So first and 86 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 7: foremost rests. Secondly, quite honestly, I feel a sense of 87 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 7: liberation after this loss, because it's not really you know, 88 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 7: every loss is a learning experience, and I learned a 89 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 7: lot in Congress for four years. I still have deep, 90 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 7: great relationships in Congress. I'm going to continue to have 91 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 7: those relationships. But you can have impact and do good 92 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 7: work outside of Congress and in Congress sometimes, you know, 93 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 7: I'm a little rough around the edges, so I would 94 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 7: get myself in trouble every now and then in Congress. 95 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 7: Now I feel like, Okay, I'm a private citizen who's 96 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 7: still going to do everything I can to serve the 97 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 7: people of my district or around the country and around 98 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 7: the world. 99 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: Can I ask you? 100 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 4: Speaking of around the world, one of the things that 101 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 4: Congressman Timeson just talked about when he was on is 102 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 4: that in his district, the issue of Israel Palestine is 103 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 4: like a number twenty because folks are just fifteen again, 104 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 4: fifteen twenty out of fifteen. Okay, all right, So but 105 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 4: my point is that he was saying that they are 106 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 4: just on kitchen table issues and survival themselves. 107 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: What do you say to folks who have taken this 108 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: on as issue. 109 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 4: Number one, right, and the folks who are seeing this 110 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 4: huge gap of it being number twenty out of fifteen, 111 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 4: how do we close that gap? Because there is so 112 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 4: many similarities between these causes of oppression and fighting against 113 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 4: it for liberation. 114 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it speaks to the diversity of our 115 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 7: country and the diversity of our district. Like, depending where 116 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 7: you are, it may not even be on the radar. 117 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 7: At the same time, in my district it was very 118 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 7: heavily on the radar, particularly on the other side in 119 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 7: terms of when you look at the majority of Americans, 120 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 7: the majority of American support a permanent ceasefire, but most 121 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 7: some people, most people in my districtill vote against me, 122 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 7: do not support that, And so it was a top 123 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 7: issue my district for the kitchen table issue people in 124 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 7: my district. The conversation around why are we saying spending 125 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 7: four billion dollars a year to support the killing of 126 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 7: women and children and civilians in Gaza when I'm struggling 127 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 7: to pay my rent, I'm struggling to pay my mortgage, 128 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 7: I'm struggling for childcare, I'm struggling to pay my utilities, 129 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 7: I'm struggling to afford my day to day existence, and 130 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 7: we're spending billions overseas to support war. So that's one 131 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 7: way to bridge the gap. Secondly, and you know, we 132 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 7: could debate this in different settings. Many people see our 133 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 7: support of the state of Israel and the way Benjamin 134 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 7: and Yahoo particular is behaving as supporting white supremacy, and 135 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 7: that white supremacy is oppressive to black and brown people 136 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 7: here all the time, whether you look at a Project 137 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 7: twenty twenty five or even some of the Democrats policies 138 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 7: historically tough on crime policies. White supremacy impacts us all 139 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 7: impacts us in the justice system or injustice system, and 140 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 7: the healthcare system, the education system, and housing, and it 141 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 7: impacts us in our foreign policy. So those are a 142 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 7: couple of ways we bridge a gap in our district. 143 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: I love that through line. 144 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: I think that makes so much sense, given though that 145 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: there are you know, a significant amount of young people, 146 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: especially who are protesting and pleading with Vice President Kamala Harris, 147 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: our president elect. I speak it into existence so to 148 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: be president, yes, absolutely, given that there are people though, 149 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: who are frustrated by the current administration's policy, President Biden, 150 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: on President Biden's watch, the amount of fiscal support that 151 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: has been given to Israel, What would you say to 152 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: those young people, which I think is what Angela was 153 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: alluding to, for those people who are making it their 154 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: central issue, what is your piece of advice? Because it's 155 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: not going to be better under a president. 156 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, No, it's not. 157 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: How can they continue to be heard, I guess by pressure, 158 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: but also support this president because on Lea, yeah, it's 159 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: starting to feel like you know, sometimes on the Palacinian side, Oh, 160 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: black people are supporting white Supremacy's like time out. 161 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: Don't let the old pressor know our community. 162 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's that's one of the insidious aspects of 163 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 7: white supremacy. 164 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: It's constant divide and conquer. 165 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 7: It's very challenging because I've met Palestinians who have lost 166 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 7: twenty thirty, forty fifty members of their family right in 167 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 7: Gaza because they all live together. So you bomb a building, 168 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 7: you're killing generations of people. So it's going to remain 169 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 7: a top issue for the Palastinian community. It's going to 170 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 7: remain a top issue by extension, for the Muslim community, 171 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,479 Speaker 7: and for the Arab community, and for Middle Eastern communities, 172 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 7: and so continue to speak up in protest as what 173 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 7: our country is founded upon.

So I just 304 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 4: wanted to talk about that just briefly because we're seeing 305 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: a lot of labor leaders, civil rights leaders who are 306 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 4: coming up today.

Finally, 317 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 7: we're one of the only developed nations that does not 318 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 7: have paid leave. We have to make sure we're investing 319 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 7: in education, education, education, education, and can we please raise 320 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 7: the damn federal minimum age? How about that year seven 321 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 7: twenty five and hour was still And just to piggyback 322 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 7: on that and talk a little bit about President Biden. 323 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 7: So my first two years in Congress. We had control 324 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 7: of the House and the Senate, and I felt like 325 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 7: we was rocking and rolling. 326 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 11: Man. 327 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: We was getting things done. 328 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 7: The American Rescue Plan, the Chips and Science Act, the 329 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 7: Inflation Reduction Act, the Safer Communities Act, the bipartis and 330 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 7: Infrastructure Bill.

And 334 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 7: so when we talk about contrasts, to me, there's no conversation. 335 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 7: Republicans want to shut down the federal government. They want 336 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 7: to end the Department of Education, they want to defund 337 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 7: Health and Human Services human services.
