Over the years, the goal post for 101 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 4: me has moved about what accountability looks like. And that's 102 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 4: due to whether it be the Supreme Court intervening, or 103 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 4: whether it be the judicial system on the other course, 104 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 4: not holding rioters accountable, or whether it be Donald Trump 105 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 4: pardoning them, or hell, even Donald Trump getting elected again. 106 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 4: The goal post has always moved. So what does accountability 107 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: look like? Stop this agenda right now, stopping him from 108 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 4: wanting to be a want to be dictator and authoritarian 109 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 4: who's giving rewards and handouts to his billionaire buddies and 110 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 4: the meanwhile, the middle class is just struggling. Everybody talks 111 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 4: about affordability. On the rising cost of healthcare, I mean, hell, 112 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: my healthcare premiums went up. 113 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 3: I live paycheck to paycheck. 114 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 4: Even in this moment, I have to decide am I 115 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 4: going to pay my electricity or am I going to 116 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 4: pay my gas bill on time this month? 117 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: Who has the lowest late fees? 118 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: I mean, and now we're talking, they're putting boots on 119 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 4: the ground and Iran without even consulting with Congress. Congress 120 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 4: is a co equal branch of government that has checks 121 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: and balances, and I guess I say all of that 122 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 4: to say, it's accountability in restoring the checks and balances 123 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 4: that have existed so long in this country with Donald 124 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 4: Trump and his administration are paying no attention to So 125 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: let's talk. 126 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: About that'll be that'll be an important thing. You know, 127 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: I think when you when you look ahead into this 128 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: into this next Congress saying it's a foundational thing which 129 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: which every day you get up and you go to 130 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: work and you have to have I think a first 131 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: principle as you bring something back to life that has vanished, 132 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: that has gone temporarily extinct, and that's the United States Congress. 133 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: And that's with that. 134 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: This is the Article one branch. It is the supreme 135 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: branch of the government, and that the Article one branch 136 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: has constitutional authority to do many things and to conduct 137 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: vigorous oversight over the depth and breadth of the of 138 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: the federal government and the executive And you know this 139 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: is this is I'm one of the one of the 140 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: steering committee members of the Save Erica movement. And what 141 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: I think is this moment is less about disagreements between 142 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: progressive and centrist and a disagreement between people who share 143 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: a philosophy which I'm gonna annunciate in a second and 144 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: ask you about, and people who disagree with it. And 145 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: what I what I think the moment requires is this. 146 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: And I want to ask what type of congressman you're 147 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna be? 148 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: Do you? 149 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Do you believe this? What I'm going to say as 150 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: a as a philosophy, I think there are a lot 151 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: of us who believe that the maximum abuses of power 152 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: that we're that we're witnessing are historic and the response 153 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: to them demands the maximum. 154 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: Use of all lawful. 155 00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: Constitutional power to make it stop unrelentingly. So out what 156 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: what do you think when you when you hear that? 157 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: Is that too much for you? Is that an extreme statement? 158 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: Is that something you agree with? Where are you on that? 159 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: I fully agree? 160 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: We are at a time where, like every other week, 161 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: it's something unprecedented, it's oh, we've never seen this before. 162 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: And every week, I mean, how many more weeks and 163 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: years do we have to go? 164 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 3: Like? What is next? 165 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, like he wasn't lying when he said he 166 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: wanted to be a dictator on day one, and everybody said, oh, 167 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: the Democrats are flipping out. Oh, Kamala Harris is flipping out. 168 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 4: And everything that we're seeing in Project twenty twenty five 169 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 4: is coming true. And I believe even more and worse 170 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: is to come wasted only a year and a quarter 171 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: into his. 172 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: Into his second term. 173 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 4: And you know what, he knows that, well, that's a 174 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: whole different can of worms.

Listen, these Republicans people just said, they're not 281 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 4: they're not worried about it, and they're downplaying it. They're 282 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 4: in their districts, they're hearing it. They have to project 283 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: this fake facade of strength and hey, everything's okay, but 284 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 4: they understand to use the blood's in the water.

So we need to get everybody engaged in 338 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 4: paying attention about what so many people love to say. 339 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 4: I don't do politics, well, politics. 340 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: Does you whether you're whether you're paying attention or not. 341 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 4: So it's best to be informed and involved about with 342 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 4: these elections coming up. 343 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: What do the law enforcement guys and women say to you, 344 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: come up to you about all the ice stuff? 345 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 4: So I've seen both, but the ones that actually come 346 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: up to me are people that are supporters that actually, 347 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 4: in my opinion, get it. I have gotten so much 348 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 4: hate criticism from law enforcement groups saying you know that 349 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 4: because a lot I mean, hell, the FOP, the FRA, 350 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 4: turn Order Police, the largest police union endorse Donald Trump 351 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 4: in his last three elections. 352 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: Let that sink it. 353 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: And after January sixth, so like, let's let that sink 354 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 4: in for a minute. There were people that I worked 355 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 4: with at the Capitol there were people who responded to 356 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 4: the Capitol who voted for Trump after January sixth, even 357 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 4: while being involved in it. So law enforcement loves Donald Trump. 358 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 4: They love that authority, They love that rule with an 359 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 4: iron fist. They love that that is not right, that 360 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 4: is not right. 361 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 3: Now. 362 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 4: The people that do are supportive of me. Hey, keep 363 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 4: your head up, keep going. We support you. Keep going, brother, 364 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 4: We're proud of you. So that means a lot to me. 365 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 4: Like when I hear, especially to Pivot just a minute 366 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: from law enforcement veterans, veterans thanking me that that is 367 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 4: the ultimate compliment to me, because I in my mind, 368 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 4: there's nothing greater than them for fighting for us and 369 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 4: putting their lives on the. 370 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 3: Line to protect our freedoms over here. 371 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: When when you when you look at everything that's going on, 372 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: where do you think we're gonna be four months from now? 373 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: Jeez man, where do you. 374 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: Think we're gonna be when when we get you April, May, June, July. 375 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: Like as we kind of get into August. 376 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 4: Well, I believe gas prices are going to be close 377 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 4: to five dollars. I believe that, especially with the way 378 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 4: things are continuing to go now, I do believe that 379 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 4: Republicans will start to backtrack a little more, because as 380 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 4: we're getting through to the. 381 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 3: Summer, you know, in Congress, what do they do. 382 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 4: They go out of session for their summer break, and 383 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 4: especially they take a lot more time during election cycles. 384 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: So this is a big election cycle. 385 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 4: So I think they're gonna be home in their districts 386 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 4: and they're gonna be seeing the writing on the wall, 387 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 4: and they're gonna say they're gonna try to save face. 388 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 4: So you might have Republicans coming back to Congress or 389 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 4: Mike Johnson attempting to do something drastic as far as 390 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 4: like passing legislation to show that they're. 391 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 3: Working for the American peace people. 392 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: But we've seen what type of leader Mike Johnson has 393 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: been or non leader Mike Johnson has been. I mean, hell, 394 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 4: Nancy Pelosi never never brought a vote to the floor 395 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 4: that she lost, even with smaller, smaller margins than Mike 396 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 4: Johnson has been with. So Mike Johnson can't even keep 397 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 4: his caucus together. But I do think that we're going 398 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 4: to see something come across in these next couple months, 399 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 4: something that appears on the surface where Republicans are fighting, 400 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 4: fighting for the American people. I don't see that happening 401 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: or making much difference, because they're going to see the 402 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 4: writing on the wall when they go home in their districts. 403 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 4: They're hearing from their constituents in the community, and it's 404 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 4: not going to be pretty. 405 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: Have you visualized. 406 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: What it is that you think you're going to say 407 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: for the first time on the House floor as a 408 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: member of Congress, and have you thought about even before that, 409 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: what's the first thing that you're going to say to 410 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: your Democratic colleagues in a caucus meeting when you stand 411 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: up imagining what the world is gonna be like this 412 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty seven, what do you think it's 413 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: gonna bay, you know, say to your Democratic colleagues. 414 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 4: That's a great question. I've never been asked that that's 415 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 4: a man that's good. 416 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. 417 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 4: I do know that there is no room for anybody 418 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 4: who is not all in on stopping this administration, curtailing 419 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 4: this administration. 420 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 3: It's not there's no room for anybody who just wants to, oh, 421 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: let's just move on. 422 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 4: Absolutely not, because you can't move on without correcting what 423 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 4: has already happened. You can't just say oh, he learned 424 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 4: his lesson. Let's hope it never happens again. Listen, Accountability 425 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 4: serve two purposes. One, it serves as a deterrent to 426 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 4: keep people from doing X, Y and again. But it 427 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 4: also brings some type of closure to the people who 428 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 4: were aggrieved or harmed or affected by whatever action it was. 429 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 4: And people are craving some type of accountability right now, 430 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 4: So we can move on. I'm happy with moving on, 431 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 4: but not until we close the book on this chapter 432 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 4: right now. 433 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: When you look at when you look at everything that's 434 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: happening right now in the world here worried? Are you 435 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 1: about the war in Iran? A spiraling into something that 436 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, in his worst imagination, can't really imagine. 437 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I probably not. I probably won't sound like 438 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 4: a politician here. 439 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: I'm not going to. 440 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 4: Pretend to know global warfare and everything. I'm not going 441 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 4: to pretend to be an expert on that. We have 442 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 4: so many people that swear they are experts on it, 443 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 4: but I'm not. But I do know that Russia, Iran 444 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 4: has helped out, been reaching out to Russia, Ukraine has 445 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 4: been helping, the US has helped, has asked for Ukraine's 446 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 4: help with these drones, these strikes. 447 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 3: So yes, there are other countries that are involved. There 448 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: are other countries. 449 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 4: That have an interest in what's going on now, and 450 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 4: if they see an opportunity to further their interest in 451 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 4: the midst of all this chaos, you don't think they're 452 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 4: going to take that opportunity to I think there's a lot, 453 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 4: there's a big opportunity here for this to get uglier 454 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 4: than it already is, in messy with other world powers 455 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 4: such as China, such as Russia. So I this nothing good, 456 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 4: in my opinion, comes out of this. So that's why 457 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 4: I think we just need to end it now. And hell, 458 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 4: by the way, wasn't the strike several months ago that 459 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 4: Donald Trump did on Iran? Wasn't that supposed to have 460 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 4: decimated their nuclear capabilities? 461 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 3: Wasn't wasn't that the goal? Wasn't that obliterated? 462 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 1: He said it was obliterated, But apparently we have to reobliterate. 463 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 4: We have to reobliterate something that was already obliterated. 464 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 3: So it doesn't make any sense. 465 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 4: It's a distraction, and it's a continued furtherance of Donald 466 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 4: Trump wanting to be a dictator and a king. 467 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: When one of the things that I that I look at, 468 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, in my personal politics, and I'm curious where 469 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: you are it again philosophically on it, I'm a I'm 470 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: a capitalist. I think that people should be rewarded for 471 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: their economic initiative. But with Donald Trump at the top 472 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: of doesn't look like free market capitalism, uh to me 473 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: very much. What I see is a lot of accumulation 474 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: of wealth and power in too few hands. And these 475 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: accumulations historically in the United States have happened and they've 476 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: had to be busted up. They've had to be broken up. 477 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: And so when you when you look at the big 478 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: tech companies Google, Facebook, Volunteer, when you when you look 479 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: at media consolidation, Father and Son owning, you know, thirty 480 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: five different name branded media entities. When you look at 481 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: that across agriculture, across media, across banking, this accumulation of power, 482 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: do you do you have a philosophy that is that 483 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: we have to break up these concentrations of power and 484 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: pull it back towards the people. We have to reignite 485 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: competition or it's as good as it is. We need 486 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: to do reforms, There needs to be more accountability. How 487 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: how do you see that broadly philosophically. 488 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 3: Isn't that the American dream? 489 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 4: You come here, you work hard, and you're rewarded, rewarded 490 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 4: well for your hard work. Build wealth, build things to 491 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 4: hand down to your family, to your kids, to your 492 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 4: kids kids, generational wealth. Isn't that what this is all about. 493 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 4: I work hard so I could pass something on to 494 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: my daughter and that she'll be able to pass something 495 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 4: on too. That's what it's about. However, we're not seeing that. 496 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 4: We're not seeing we're seeing the rich get richer, and 497 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 4: the middle guys and everybody trying to make it get 498 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 4: poorer if you will, Maybe not because they're making less 499 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 4: money because everything is more expensive. Listen, I believe, and 500 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 4: everybody have an opportunity. 501 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 3: But with that. 502 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 4: Becomes a level playing field, and everybody's not starting from 503 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: the same starting point. And that's how many look at 504 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 4: the people that are getting the tax breaks, Look at 505 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 4: the people that are getting credits. Like you said, those 506 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 4: companies Amazon and Google and Meta, they're making money, they're 507 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 4: just continuing to break in profits while the small businesses 508 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 4: are hurting. Where's their tax breaks? Where's their tax been? 509 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 4: Those are the ones that should be benefiting people that 510 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 4: Act the small businesses uh to steal aligned from Joe Biden. 511 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 4: You grow the economy from the middle out, and you know, 512 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 4: I believe that it's because that's what makes up this country. 513 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 4: And I mean, look, there's I saw a poll that said, well, 514 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 4: Elon must be a trillionaire in the next five years 515 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 4: or something under this administration. He absolutely will because he's 516 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 4: just making in there making money. And just to go 517 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 4: off on a side tangent real quick, Doge speaking of Elon, 518 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 4: Doge was brought in to eliminate to fraud, wasteful spending. 519 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 4: That's what that was the purpose of it. And I 520 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 4: don't think anybody has a problem on the surface with hey, 521 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 4: if it's wasteful, let's not do it that. You're right, 522 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 4: we shouldn't be having wasteful spending. But it costs more 523 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 4: to run DOGE to to establish them. It caught they 524 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 4: spent more money on Doge being just existing than they 525 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 4: were able to eliminate. And what happened to those checks 526 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 4: that we were supposed to get from the waste and fraud? 527 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 3: Did they come out? I'm still waiting on mine. 528 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: So so you may soon be a Democratic member of 529 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: Congress and so let's talk about those first a second. 530 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't I don't know the answer to 531 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 1: this question. I don't know why there hasn't been a 532 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: meeting and people haven't been like, let's go build a 533 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: slick set and and we're gonna go out there five 534 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: times a day, and we're gonna say things in creative 535 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: ways and entertaining ways, and we're gonna make some points 536 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: that people remember, m well, what happened to all of 537 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: our shit? Meaning if you're an American citizen and your 538 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: social security information, your data, what did these those guys take? 539 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: And I just don't understand why so many Democrats are 540 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: not up in arms about it in the Congress. And 541 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: when it comes to things like that, you would be 542 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: in a position to get to the bottom of some 543 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: of it, a lot of it. But again, philosophically, what's 544 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: your position on getting to the bottom of it? I 545 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 1: think there's really nothing more important. I mean, we the 546 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: people have to know the answer to what happened when 547 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: they went into the government and took who knows what. 548 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: There's no information really available about that, and there needs to. 549 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 4: Be there, absolutely needs to be I agree, one hundred percent, 550 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 4: one of the biggest things that I want to speaking 551 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 4: of just Doge outside of them stilling Social Security numbers 552 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 4: of millions and millions of America voter roles, they want 553 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 4: access to all of that type of stuff. One, why 554 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 4: what's the bigger picture to control? Who continue to control 555 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 4: power to purge people of voter rolls without them knowing? 556 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 4: Like it all goes back to voting and Donald Trump 557 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 4: wanting to continue to stay in power. That's what it 558 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 4: all goes back to, in my opinion with Doge. But 559 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 4: also what Doge did, and this especially near and dear 560 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 4: to me because the Maryland fifth Congressional district where I 561 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 4: am running, people in that district have suffered from the 562 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 4: illegal firings that Doge did. 563 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 3: They continue to. 564 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 4: Lay off that over eighty thousand workers live federal workers 565 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 4: fired live in the fifth Congressional district. 566 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 3: So I think it's very important. 567 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 4: To make sure we won we restore those jobs and 568 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 4: also restore the trust which comes with transparency. 569 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 3: What the hell did y'all need that information for? What 570 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 3: did you do with it? 571 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 4: How can we move forward knowing that it is secure 572 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 4: that people can actually trust these institutions with their private information. 573 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 4: With bank account numbers, with routing numbers, all of that 574 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 4: type of stuff. So and when Democrats do take the House, 575 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 4: we need to reveal the criminal activity that I believe 576 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 4: took place or something whatever was, We will get to 577 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 4: the bottom of it. And that here comes the word 578 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 4: that I like to use again, hold them accountable. Whether 579 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: that be through the Department of Justice, whether that be 580 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 4: through sanctus, I don't know. 581 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 3: We have to find out what we have. 582 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 4: I don't know what we don't know yet, and the 583 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 4: only way we get to that is through using your 584 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 4: Article one powers, subpoena power, having people go on the 585 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 4: record and tell what they actually did with what happened. 586 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 4: And we know the Republicans aren't interested in finding that now, 587 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 4: so it's going to be up to the Democrats when 588 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 4: they take the House in November. 589 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: Well, have you thought about what committees you want to 590 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 2: be on? 591 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 3: Oversight? 592 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely oversighted, you know, And you know, I feel like 593 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 4: that's a big, high profile one. But you know, I 594 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 4: just watched the Democrats that are on the enthusiasm for it. 595 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 3: I have enthusiasm for it. 596 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 4: I don't take the did y'all watch and this for everybody, 597 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 4: did y'all see you, Pam Bondi's this terrible display in 598 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 4: front of the Oversight Committee. 599 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 2: So so, so what would you do? 600 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, as a member of Congress, if you were on 601 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: the dias facing that impertinence from her, you know what 602 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: would happen in that exchange? 603 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 2: Do you do? You think? 604 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 3: Well? I don't think it would be in exchange. 605 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 4: First of all, I'd have to take two or three 606 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 4: days to mentally prepare myself for not cussing her out 607 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 4: when I get face to face with her. So I 608 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 4: take a couple of days to mentally prepare for that. 609 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 4: But also what I think that so Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin 610 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 4: Crockett obviously, as a newer member of Congress, she was 611 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 4: one of the junior members or I think the last 612 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 4: person to do the questioning, and she saw how the 613 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 4: day was going. Anybody that asked her a question, she 614 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 4: didn't answer it. In fact, she returned with insults. So 615 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,719 Speaker 4: I wouldn't use that five minutes to question her, just 616 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 4: like Jasmine Crockett did. They had met conversations with other 617 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 4: members of Congress and said stuff on the record that honestly, 618 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 4: Pat BONDI couldn't dispute because she wasn't asked the question, 619 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 4: So do you don't give her any time to ridicule, 620 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 4: you don't give her any time to dispute. 621 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 3: I thought that was a brilliant strategy. 622 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 4: But we will force force them to answer questions and 623 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 4: if they don't, like I said, then you take another 624 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 4: strategy and you go And I thought, Jasmine Crockett did 625 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 4: that beautifully. 626 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 3: What what do. 627 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 2: You think about? How do how do we how do 628 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 2: how does some sense of decorum get returned? 629 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 3: Putting adults in the room? 630 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 2: How does that happen? 631 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 4: You you have you have adults in these seats and 632 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 4: not people that are out there grifting or people that 633 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 4: want to, uh just have favor with Donald Trump, People 634 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,280 Speaker 4: that actually care about people, people that live in reality and. 635 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 3: Out on social media. 636 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 4: Like a lot of times these people that are doing 637 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:11,479 Speaker 4: this performative theatrics, they're doing that for clickbaits. They're doing 638 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 4: that because they live in a world of social media 639 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 4: and not the real world. You know, That's one thing 640 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 4: I had to learn when I first got started, Like 641 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 4: I when people were criticizing me, Oh, this is all 642 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 4: over social media. But then when I went across the country, 643 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 4: I would do town halls I've been everywhere from Maine 644 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 4: to Florida, to Nevada to South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, 645 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 4: going around the country and actually meeting people that don't 646 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 4: spend their life behind their entirety of their days behind 647 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 4: the keyboard. Those are real life people. Those are the 648 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 4: people that I like engaging with. So I think it 649 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 4: all starts with getting adults back in the room so 650 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 4: we can make a government in a country that works 651 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 4: for the people and not for themselves. 652 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: What do you think about this story with the shoes. 653 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: I think it's incredible that that Trump Trump looks at 654 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: these guys. 655 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 2: And Trump's like, Trump's like your size. 656 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: It's like how your size fifteen exer size, and little 657 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: little Marco is there.

I'm going 749 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 4: to do my part to make sure everything's okay. But 750 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 4: things will not be okay if people sit on the 751 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 4: sideline and hope for somebody else to do it. 752 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 3: So that's one of. 753 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 4: The reasons why I'm running, because I believe we need 754 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 4: somebody in a moment right now that realizes the gravity 755 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 4: of the situation that we're in right now, and it 756 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 4: is not We're not in politics as usual right now. 757 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 4: We need somebody that recognizes the gravity of it.
