<v Speaker 2>A lot of.

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>People, I do want to just say, Congress thank you.

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I know you're busy, and thank you for joining us.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I do just want to say, a lot of people

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know a lot about your background, but you are

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a PhD. You have worked in education, you are married

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.199
<v Speaker 1>to an educator, and uh you know, sadly you lost

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>your congressional bid. We talked about it on our show,

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>but your background kind of got lost in that narrative.

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>So I'm curious because you know, we're here at another

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>historic Democratic national convention. There are protests out that were

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>connected to a lot of the issues, why some arguably

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>why you may have lost your district. What would you

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>like to say to the Native Land Pod audience today?

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 7>First of all, piece and love to you all. Really

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 7>good to be here with you. I think this is

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 7>the first time Angela has interviewed me on any platform.

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 7>So great to be with Angela Baccari brother, Andrew, you

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 7>and I go way back.

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, good to be with you all.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 7>And yes, education for twenty years before running for Congress,

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 7>teacher guidance counselor middle school principal for ten years now,

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 7>the PhD ed d in education leadership, especially education circles.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I ran because of my kids.

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 7>I governed for the kids and families who have been

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 7>marginalized and least loss and left behind. It was a

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 7>great time in Congress. The work will continue for the

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 7>rest of my life. We're all gonna fight for justice

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 7>no matter what. And uh, Yeah, regarding the protests, you know,

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 7>we're gonna continue to screen free Palestine. We're going to

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 7>continue to talk about a foreign policy that's rooted in

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 7>diplomacy and peace and self determination for all people no

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 7>matter what. And uh, the work continues from the Bronx

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 7>to Mount Vernon to you know, Gaza. We're gonna keep

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:52.399
<v Speaker 7>doing the work.

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 5>We ask you for the personal question because one of

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 5>the things that Andrew had to go through, I guess

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 5>what year was that? Andrew eighteen year races twenty eighteen.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 5>In twenty eighteen, he went through yesterday in twenty fourteen,

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 5>I had to go through it. I ran for lieutenant governor,

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 5>gave up my state house seed. Andrew gave up his

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 5>mayoral seed, and ran and wasn't successful. We tried to

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 5>trip away at the glass and now you're in this

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 5>same phase. It kind of feels like you're in the

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 5>wilderness for a minute because you've you've been attached to

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 5>something for so long. But tell people who have not

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 5>been there, you know, because a lot of times they

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 5>see politicians win or lose, and they don't really know

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 5>what it feels like to go through that when you're

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 5>not on that high of winning, and what are you

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 5>doing to help figure out what the next step is

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 5>and how are you getting there? What's up, brother Ford,

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 5>to determine, to determine what's next for you, that's a

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 5>great question.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 7>First and foremost, rest, pray, meditate, spend time with my family.

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 7>First and foremost. That's what I did for the first

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:57.559
<v Speaker 7>few weeks after the races are exhausting, as we all knowing, yes, exhausting,

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 7>So just resting and spend time with my.

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 6>Family when they spend time calling you something you're not well.

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 7>More money spent against me than any congressional race in history,

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 7>and so the ads were constant, the mailers were constant

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 7>to tell it was really really crazy. So first and

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 7>foremost rests. Secondly, quite honestly, I feel a sense of

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 7>liberation after this loss, because it's not really you know,

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 7>every loss is a learning experience, and I learned a

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.559
<v Speaker 7>lot in Congress for four years. I still have deep,

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 7>great relationships in Congress. I'm going to continue to have

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 7>those relationships. But you can have impact and do good

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 7>work outside of Congress and in Congress sometimes, you know,

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 7>I'm a little rough around the edges, so I would

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 7>get myself in trouble every now and then in Congress.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 7>Now I feel like, Okay, I'm a private citizen who's

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 7>still going to do everything I can to serve the

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 7>people of my district or around the country and around

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 7>the world.

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Can I ask you?

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of around the world, one of the things that

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 4>Congressman Timeson just talked about when he was on is

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 4>that in his district, the issue of Israel Palestine is

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 4>like a number twenty because folks are just fifteen again,

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 4>fifteen twenty out of fifteen. Okay, all right, So but

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 4>my point is that he was saying that they are

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 4>just on kitchen table issues and survival themselves.

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 3>What do you say to folks who have taken this

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 3>on as issue.

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 4>Number one, right, and the folks who are seeing this

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 4>huge gap of it being number twenty out of fifteen,

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 4>how do we close that gap? Because there is so

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 4>many similarities between these causes of oppression and fighting against

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 4>it for liberation.

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think it speaks to the diversity of our

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 7>country and the diversity of our district. Like, depending where

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 7>you are, it may not even be on the radar.

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 7>At the same time, in my district it was very

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 7>heavily on the radar, particularly on the other side in

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 7>terms of when you look at the majority of Americans,

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 7>the majority of American support a permanent ceasefire, but most

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 7>some people, most people in my districtill vote against me,

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 7>do not support that, And so it was a top

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 7>issue my district for the kitchen table issue people in

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 7>my district. The conversation around why are we saying spending

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 7>four billion dollars a year to support the killing of

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.839
<v Speaker 7>women and children and civilians in Gaza when I'm struggling

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 7>to pay my rent, I'm struggling to pay my mortgage,

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm struggling for childcare, I'm struggling to pay my utilities,

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 7>I'm struggling to afford my day to day existence, and

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 7>we're spending billions overseas to support war. So that's one

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 7>way to bridge the gap. Secondly, and you know, we

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 7>could debate this in different settings. Many people see our

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 7>support of the state of Israel and the way Benjamin

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 7>and Yahoo particular is behaving as supporting white supremacy, and

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 7>that white supremacy is oppressive to black and brown people

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 7>here all the time, whether you look at a Project

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 7>twenty twenty five or even some of the Democrats policies

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 7>historically tough on crime policies. White supremacy impacts us all

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 7>impacts us in the justice system or injustice system, and

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 7>the healthcare system, the education system, and housing, and it

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 7>impacts us in our foreign policy. So those are a

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 7>couple of ways we bridge a gap in our district.

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 3>I love that through line.

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that makes so much sense, given though that

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>there are you know, a significant amount of young people,

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>especially who are protesting and pleading with Vice President Kamala Harris,

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>our president elect. I speak it into existence so to

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>be president, yes, absolutely, given that there are people though,

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>who are frustrated by the current administration's policy, President Biden,

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>on President Biden's watch, the amount of fiscal support that

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>has been given to Israel, What would you say to

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>those young people, which I think is what Angela was

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>alluding to, for those people who are making it their

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>central issue, what is your piece of advice? Because it's

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>not going to be better under a president.

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump, No, it's not.

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>How can they continue to be heard, I guess by pressure,

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>but also support this president because on Lea, yeah, it's

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>starting to feel like you know, sometimes on the Palacinian side, Oh,

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>black people are supporting white Supremacy's like time out.

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Don't let the old pressor know our community.

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's that's that's one of the insidious aspects of

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 7>white supremacy.

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>It's constant divide and conquer.

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 7>It's very challenging because I've met Palestinians who have lost

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 7>twenty thirty, forty fifty members of their family right in

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 7>Gaza because they all live together. So you bomb a building,

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.959
<v Speaker 7>you're killing generations of people. So it's going to remain

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 7>a top issue for the Palastinian community. It's going to

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 7>remain a top issue by extension, for the Muslim community,

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.479
<v Speaker 7>and for the Arab community, and for Middle Eastern communities,

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 7>and so continue to speak up in protest as what

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 7>our country is founded upon. But you also got to

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 7>understand that when we talk about the fight against white supremacy,

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.080
<v Speaker 7>black people have always been.

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 2>At the forefront of that fight will continue. Look at this, brother,

<v Speaker 1>rally three million people watched online and the major networks

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.199

<v Speaker 9>to stop talking back to the stage.

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 5>So speaking of speaking of which, Kamala Harris on stage

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 5>right now.

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 3>No, she's not right now, you will see the mayor

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:11.719
<v Speaker 3>of Chicago.

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 8>No, she is on stage.

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 3>She's on stage. You're seeing different.

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Yours is probably delayed.

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because you're watching it on Blackstar Network over here.

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 8>Well, Car is not Car is a hater, but he's

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 8>he's also not technically savvy.

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 9>Not because there's a there's a live feed here the

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 9>nine is center and if you're streaming it, there's a delay.

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's somebody who's too has a flip phone.

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he said he got boost mobile.

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, all you can text the car is okay.

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:09.719
<v Speaker 11>I'm just making you please. Conversation subterranean over here.

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, if if you are tuning into US, I do

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>want to say Roland is right. Vice President Kamala Harris

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 1>is taking the stage right now. It looks like she

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>seems to be welcoming people to the convention. It looks

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 1>like she may have just shouted out the second Gentleman

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>soon to be the first Gentleman, Doug M.

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Hoffcamera's pan to him. Uh, this is not her keynote.

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Speech, which we will hear of course Thursday, and please

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>tune in a Native Land Pod live. We will be

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>live on Thursday right before she speaks, so we'll be

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.440
<v Speaker 1>talking about all the primetime speakers. But yes, she is

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.839
<v Speaker 1>speaking right now, and tune in tomorrow because we will

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about some of her remarks.

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 6>And isn't typical, uh, Tiffany, for the for the presidential

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 6>to be here this early? But I think I think

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 6>this is partly to her work in partnership with Joe Biden,

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 6>President Joe Biden.

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Her unique position as his vice president, but who he's

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.680
<v Speaker 1>passing the towards you, but also as the soon to

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>be nominee officially the nominee for the Democratic national conventions.

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 9>And let me say what you talk about, and I

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 9>won't say ego less, but to be a sitting president

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 9>come on and to say I'll speak on Monday and

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 9>I'm gonna fly to Keller for an hour and you

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 9>have the convention. Uh that Listen, we know president's got

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 9>egos huge. He could have said, Yo, I'm speaking on Wednesday. No,

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 9>he said I'll do Monday and then you have the

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 9>way that's that's huge.

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was.

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 6>Huge, Broland. I think you'd agree for the man to

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 6>be the most powerful leader of the free world so

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 6>far as we know it, and believe he could run

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 6>and win, and to step back and say I don't

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 6>want that fight. Our country doesn't need that fight right now,

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 6>I said earlier, and I hope it'll be true this evening.

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 6>The man out of get so much of an ovation

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 6>this evening that oh yeah, there's not time for his

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 6>remarks because our appreciation runs that deep for the sacrifice

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 6>that he's made, not just at this moment but over

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 6>the arc of his uh uh political career. Jamm curious

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 6>if you have reflections on on on on the.

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I believe.

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to the floor, y'all got Omega coming up.

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 9>That that's a big step down from Alpha.

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate appreciation.

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 9>And Chris Chris Barry at I heeart, I'm gonna se

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 9>you the in bush.

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that actually is warranted, Jamal, before you chime in here,

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 4>I know this is something that's.

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Start to get you down.

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Stop it, shut up.

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 4>That's near and dear to your heart, and that is

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 4>the theme of this convention today is for the people.

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 4>We know, of course, that was Kamala Harris's campaign slogan

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 4>going into twenty twenty, but it's for the people for

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 4>our future is a full campaign theme. So I just

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 4>wanted to talk about that just briefly because we're seeing

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 4>a lot of labor leaders, civil rights leaders who are

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 4>coming up today. They're showing that huge tent that this

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 4>party is supposed to to be. And again we know

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 4>that there's still protests on the outside, but even those voices,

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 4>the dissension is welcome.

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 2>It's all welcome.

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 7>And if we are for the people, we have to

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 7>be for all the people, and we have.

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 2>To be for equity, and we have to be for

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 2>justice in all its forms.

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 7>And for me to me, that means we have to

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 7>be for universal childcare, universal pre K, paid leave for all. Finally,

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 7>we're one of the only developed nations that does not

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 7>have paid leave. We have to make sure we're investing

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 7>in education, education, education, education, and can we please raise

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 7>the damn federal minimum age? How about that year seven

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 7>twenty five and hour was still And just to piggyback

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 7>on that and talk a little bit about President Biden.

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 7>So my first two years in Congress. We had control

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 7>of the House and the Senate, and I felt like

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 7>we was rocking and rolling.

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 11>Man.

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 2>We was getting things done.

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 7>The American Rescue Plan, the Chips and Science Act, the

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 7>Inflation Reduction Act, the Safer Communities Act, the bipartis and

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 7>Infrastructure Bill. We were getting things done and it was incredible, active,

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 7>and incredibly inspiring.

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Two years later, Republicans come in take control.

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.199
<v Speaker 7>And we literally stop, stop doing the people's work. And

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 7>so when we talk about contrasts, to me, there's no conversation.

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 7>Republicans want to shut down the federal government. They want

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.680
<v Speaker 7>to end the Department of Education, they want to defund

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:23.199
<v Speaker 7>Health and Human Services human services. Democrats were governing for

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 7>the people. We just have to continue that. And when

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.919
<v Speaker 7>President Kamala gets in, we have to support her on it.

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 7>Outside by holding members of Congress, the House is centate

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.399
<v Speaker 7>accountable to push a very aggressive agenda forward because we

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 7>need transformation right now.

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:37.000
