So, Ivanka Trump, do you remember back when 19 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: people didn't used to hate her? Do you remember back 20 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: when we thought she was authentic? And that she would 21 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: bring some compassion and sanity to the White House, where 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: she and her husband monetized being special Senior Advisors to 23 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: the President. 24 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: Her daddy. 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Well, this time around, they decided to stay in Florida. 26 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: They live in Indian Creek where Jeff Bezos lives now 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 1: in Mark Zuckerberg. It's referred to as billionaires Bunker. And 28 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: Ivanka Trump was on this podcast last week talking about 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: this project with her fake as. 30 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: Fuck breathy voice and all the filtered lighting making her 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: look soft and dewy. And she not only. 32 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: Lives in billionaire's bunker, this chick lives in billionaire's bubble. 33 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: It's just incredible how out of touch she is with 34 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: regular Americans and with how people around the world are 35 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: living and the economic distress that the world is under 36 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: because of her daddy's created war. So Ivanka tells the 37 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: story of how she and her husband are on the 38 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: yacht of their billionaire friend when they discover this island. Yes, 39 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: she had the gall to say she discovered the island 40 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: like if she was some sort of Magellan or Christopher Columbus. Now, 41 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: the fucking island has been there for thousands of years. 42 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: People Okay, it's not like you discovered anything. And so 43 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: she hiked barefoot to the top of this island and 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: said to herself, wouldn't it be great to turn this 45 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: into a luxury resort. Wouldn't it be great to turn 46 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: this into a place where people like to live the 47 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: way I like to live, Because after so much introspection, 48 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 1: I've realized that there's this certain. 49 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 2: Way I like to live. By the way. 50 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: In the same podcast, she talked about how she drops 51 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: off her kids in the morning, then she goes and 52 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: sits by the water by the sea Miami Beach, I guess, 53 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: and she meditates, and then she comes back and she exercises, 54 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: and she talks about how this grounds her, how this 55 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: anchors her for the rest of the day. 56 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: And it only takes one and a half to two hours. 57 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: What mother trying to pack their kids lunch box, trying 58 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: to drive their kids to school and then rush off 59 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: to work do you think has two hours to putter 60 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: away thinking about the meaning of life? 61 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: Really, it just blows the mind. 62 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: But anyways, there's literally Albania is a country of only 63 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: two point four million people, and there have been thousands 64 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,559 Speaker 1: of Albanians taking to the street protesting against this development, 65 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: this taking over of Sassan Island for a luxury development deal. 66 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: And so you know, as people do, they're on this 67 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: yacht and then they beckon the Prime Minister of Albania 68 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: over to the yacht and propose this four billion dollar deal. Well, 69 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not going off well in Albania, and for people 70 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: who know about it here, it is not going off 71 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: well here. The Albanians are protesting it because of what 72 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: it would mean to the ecosystem of Albania. But that's 73 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: not the only and latest Trump family grift. So let 74 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: me give you some ideas and example of what else 75 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: they are doing. So they are you know, we've all 76 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: heard about this two hundred and fiftieth celebration anniversary of 77 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: the United States celebration of course, hyles, would you celebrate 78 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: with a UFC match which just happened this last weekend. 79 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: We have all seen the gargantuan. 80 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: Garish, horrible roller coaster type thing that they have built 81 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: for this cage match at the White House, and how 82 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: they've torn up the whole lawn of the White House, 83 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: and god knows how much money that's costing you and me. 84 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: But if that wasn't enough. And by the way, let 85 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: us remember that it's the UFC because Donald Trump has 86 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: invested in the UFC. 87 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: But that's not the end of it. 88 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: The other thing they're doing is that they are releasing 89 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: a UFC branded Trump coin in collaboration with the UFC 90 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: on a dedicated website, and they come in four varieties. 91 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: There's the silver medallion. 92 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: Price that two hundred and fifty dollars, and it goes 93 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: up to the gold version, which costs. 94 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 2: Eleven nine hundred and ninety nine dollars with ninety nine cents. 95 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: It of course includes tits of Trump with UFC chief 96 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: Dana White, because you know, there is no better way 97 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: to celebrate American's freedom than putting Trump's mug, his ugly 98 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: mug on everything. This guy's he has this like psychotic 99 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: need to put his face and his name on everything, 100 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: whether it's the Kennedy Center, the entrances, the entrance passes 101 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: to National Parks, the US passports, I mean there is 102 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: I just can't get over the fact that somebody with 103 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: his face, his orange coloring, his corn silk, ridiculous hair, 104 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: thinks that he needs to put that face on everything. 105 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: But yes, so he's they're selling this gold coin, which 106 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: based on market rate, costs roughly four thousand dollars, so 107 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: they are selling it for an eight thousand dollars markup. 108 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: This is the fourth crypto project now that the Trumps 109 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: are profiting from. And Trump has a lot to celebrate. 110 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: Not only did he just turn eighty years old, but 111 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: he also just received a hell of a birthday gift 112 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: from the Republican House majority. They voted to allocate an 113 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: additional seventy billion dollars of taxpayer money to ICE through. 114 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty nine. 115 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: And let me just explain that is very unusual. You see, 116 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: government agencies are usually funded year to year because that 117 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: gives congress leverage. That means that there's got to be 118 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: congressional accountability because agencies have got to come back every 119 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: year to ask for their funding. But that's not how 120 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: the Republicans chose to do it, because of course they 121 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: are afraid they're going to lose the majority and then 122 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: they would have to have accountability. And let's not even 123 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: mention the one point eight billion proposed anti weaponization fund 124 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: that was also part of this ICE fund package. All Democrats, 125 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: every single Democrat in the House opposed the package, but 126 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: all Republicans who controlled the House voted to pass it, 127 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: so it passed on a straight party vote. Two hundred 128 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: and fourteen Republicans voted yes, two hundred and twelve Democrats voted. Now, 129 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: after the break, we're going to talk about this horrible 130 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: package with Representative Hakim Jeffries. He recorded with US last Monday, 131 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: right before the vote went to the House, and he 132 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: explained why all Democrats were fiercely opposed to this bill, 133 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: especially at a time when Americans can't pay for health care, 134 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: can't pay for groceries, can't pay for gas. But yes, 135 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: let's find seventy billion dollars to give to ICE so 136 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: that they can terrorize American citizens and immigrants. We also 137 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: talk about his visit to the immigration detention center where 138 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: there's been all these protests in New York, New Jersey. 139 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: It's called de Laney Hall. We talked about the Supreme 140 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: Court and the voting rights at ruling. It's very personal 141 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: to him, So tune in for this interview with Hakim Jeffries. Hi, everyone, 142 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: I have such a special guest this week. It is 143 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: US House Leader Hakim Jeffries. He's on the show, so 144 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: bien benilo to bleep with Anonavarro, And let me just say, 145 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: I've got like an entire page on biography that I'm 146 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: not even going to read because you need no introduction. 147 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: You are Hakeem Jeffries. 148 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: And after November, if and when Democrats retake the House, 149 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: you are going to be the majority leader, the speaker 150 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: of the US House of Representatives. So let's talk some 151 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: policy issues. Can we start with with ice and ICE funding. 152 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: You are in the midst of dealing with an ICE 153 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: funding package that's coming over from the Senate. It is 154 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: an enormous amount of money, which I don't even understand 155 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: because I thought ICE was already funded for years and 156 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: years to the tune of billions of dollars. I don't 157 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: understand how at a time when there is no money 158 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: for healthcare subsidy, no money for snap benefit, it's no 159 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: money for anything, no money for subsidies for farmers, and 160 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: yet here we are again sending a seventy billion dollar 161 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: package to fund ICE through twenty twenty nine. But one 162 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: of the things in this package that the Senate is 163 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: sending over to you is it includes the one point 164 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: eight billion dollar anti weaponization fund. The Trump Anti Weaponization Fund. 165 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't get this because Trump's ag testified in front 166 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: of Congress said the weaponization fund was dead. Anytime Trump 167 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: gets asked about it, he says it's not dead, it's beautiful. 168 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: Does Republicans say they don't like it, But it's in 169 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: the past wreckage that the Senate sent to you for 170 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: ICE funding. 171 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: So can you just break this down for me, like 172 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: if I was a five year old? 173 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 3: Well, listen, it's great to see you as always. 174 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 4: And one, ICE is completely and totally out of control 175 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: and they need to be rained in. And taxpayer dollars 176 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 4: should not be used to brutalize or kill American citizens, 177 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: which is what ICE has done, of course, horrifically in 178 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 4: Minneapolis with Renain the Cole Good and Alex Pretty. And 179 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 4: taxpayer dollars should not be used to violently target law 180 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 4: abiding immigrant families, which ICE continues to do. And so 181 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 4: as House Democrats, just like our colleagues in the Senate, 182 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 4: we're a hard note on this ICE funding bill because 183 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 4: we believe that immigration enforcement in America it should be fair, 184 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 4: it should be just. 185 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: And it should be humane. 186 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 4: And we're not given a dime to Donald Trump's violent 187 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 4: mass deportation machine. Now, with respect to the weaponization fund, Democrats, 188 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 4: led by Chuck Schumer, tried to include in the Republican 189 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 4: Budget Reconciliation Bill by amendment, a provision that would explicitly 190 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 4: prohibit a dime of taxpayer dollars being used to pay 191 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 4: violent insurrectionists, for instance, who brutally beat police officers. On 192 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 4: January sixth, Republicans rejected that amendment, so the ICE funding 193 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 4: bill is silent on the one point eight billion dollar 194 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 4: slush fund that's corrupt and inhumane and unpatriotic, which is 195 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 4: a problem for us because effectively Republicans are turning a 196 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 4: blind eye to it and allowing Donald Trump or the 197 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 4: acting Attorney General to move forward with this fund if 198 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: they so choose, And it's another reason why we should 199 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 4: vote down this Republican Budget Reconciliation Bill. 200 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: I want to continue asking you about immigration. You recently 201 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: visited the Delaney Detention Center in New York, New Jersey, 202 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: where people are protesting because the conditions are deplorable. Joaquin 203 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: Castro and other congress members have been going a lot 204 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: to the Dilly Detention Center, where children are being held 205 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: in horrible, unsanitary conditions. They're getting sick from dirty water, 206 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: they have lack of medical care, lack of education. 207 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: It's just terrible. I heard the stories from my home 208 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 2: state of. 209 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: Florida about Alligator Alcatraz, which was designed to be cruel, 210 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: to be a place where people were suffering. What did 211 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: you see at Delaney and what can we do about it? 212 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 213 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 4: In my view, these two detention centers in particular need 214 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 4: to be shut down. It's inconsistent with who we are 215 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 4: as Americans. And led by Lamonica mcgiver, the congresswoman from Newark, 216 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 4: as well as Rob Beernendez, you know in the adjoining 217 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 4: congressional district, who represents parts of Newark as well, I 218 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 4: believe in the east Ward. You know, they have consistently 219 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 4: visited the people in Delaney Hall who are law abiding immigrants. 220 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 4: Not a single violent criminal was in that detention center. 221 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 4: I spoke to teenage girls as young as eighteen, one 222 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 4: of whom was just a month away from graduation and 223 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 4: several months ago was detained, ripped away from her family, 224 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 4: her community, her high school, even though she has an 225 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 4: ongoing petition that would give her legal status. That was 226 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 4: the case with so many of the people that I 227 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 4: talked to who told us about sort of inadequate medical care, 228 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 4: unsanitary living conditions, and certainly poor food and nutrition. This 229 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 4: is not America. That was my reaction after touring the 230 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 4: facility and speaking privately and candidly with almost two dozen people, 231 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 4: some of whom have been there for over a year, 232 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 4: and some of whom had actually finally said, you know what, 233 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: I'm going to walk away from my case. They've signed 234 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 4: in order to be deported and they're still there, which 235 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 4: suggests to me that these privately run detention facilities, right, 236 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 4: there's a profit motive that is involved. 237 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: They're being run by Republican donors. 238 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: These are not just any company their companies like the geogroup. 239 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: They're companies that have given Republican candidates, including Trump, millions 240 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: and millions of dollars. 241 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 3: That's absolutely right. And if you think about it, the. 242 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: People who run the Delaney Haul Detention Center, I think, 243 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 4: have a billion dollar contract for fifteen years. This is 244 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: how our taxpayer dollars is being spent, as you pointed out, 245 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 4: and as opposed to actually trying to drive down the 246 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: high cost of living, making health care affordable, making it 247 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 4: so that people can afford to go see a doctor 248 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 4: when they need one. Nutritional assistance is being ripped away 249 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 4: from the American people. Gas prices are through the roof 250 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 4: because of Donald Trump's reckless and costly war of choice 251 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 4: in Iran, Yet they want to spend billions of dollars 252 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: to sustain Donald Trump's violent mass deportation machine. Is unpatriotic, 253 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 4: It's unacceptable, and it's un American. 254 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: Can I ask you when you become Speaker of the House, 255 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: when Democrats retake the House, can there actually be accountability 256 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: for the horrible, horrible shit we have seen for the 257 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: last two years? I mean, can there be accountability for 258 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: the assassinations of Renee Good. 259 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: And Alex Pretty. 260 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 1: Can we have some real oversight of these detention centers 261 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: and some real answers? Because I just feel like Americans 262 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: are so frustrated at everything we have seen for the 263 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: last two years under Trump. The corruption, the grift, the 264 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: conflict of interest, the self enrichment, the destruction of the 265 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: White House, the cruelty against immigrants, the tearing up of 266 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: congressional districts, so many different things where Republicans have provided 267 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: zero pushback or oversight. 268 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: Can we go back? 269 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: Can these things be reviewed after the fact, if you 270 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: retake the House. 271 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 3: Yes, without question. 272 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: In fact, I think the America people are demanding accountability, 273 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 4: and we've made clear that there are two pillars upon 274 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 4: which we will proceed. Affordability, driving down the high cost 275 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 4: of living, making sure that people in this country who 276 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 4: are working hard, they're playing by the rules, that they 277 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 4: can actually live in affordable life, a comfortable life, and 278 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 4: a good life in an environment where far too many 279 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 4: people are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, can't thrive 280 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 4: and can barely survive. That's unacceptable in America right now, 281 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 4: the greatest country, the wealthiest country in the history of 282 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 4: the world as well at the same period of time, 283 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 4: we need accountability. And that's not a partisan play, right, 284 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 4: That's not a party oriented play. That's not about what 285 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 4: Democrats are trying to do. That's the patriotic approach. The 286 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 4: framers of this country design Congress to be a separate 287 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 4: and coequal branch of government, to be a check and 288 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 4: balance on and out of control executive branch. King Charles 289 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 4: came to Congress that he made that point. He said, 290 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 4: executive power is subject to checks and balances. It goes 291 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 4: all the way back to the Magna Carter, and so 292 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 4: we absolutely are prepared to deliver accountability for those who 293 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 4: are engaging in a crime spree in plain sight led 294 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 4: by Donald Trump and the Trump cartel. And I've pointed 295 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 4: out repeatedly to many of these wrongdoers who haven't been 296 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 4: given the type of immunity that the Supreme Court corruptly 297 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 4: gave to Donald Trump, that these other wrongdoers should know 298 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 4: the statue of limitations is five years, and when Democrats 299 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 4: come to town, people should be prepared to testify and 300 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: to explain to the American people how they can justify 301 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: participating in one of the biggest pay to place games 302 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 4: the country has ever seen, being run by Donald Trump. 303 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: I have to tell you I disagree with you. 304 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: You say that it's not that accountability is not partisan, 305 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: But when you have Republicans in the House and in 306 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: the Senate who are afraid that if they do their 307 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: constitutional duty of providing oversight, then Donald Trump will come 308 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: after them in primary races and they will lose their 309 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: jobs when they are putting their positions over their duty, 310 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: then it is it has become partisan if you. I mean, 311 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: people have got to know if you vote for Republicans there. 312 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: Will not be accountability. 313 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: There hasn't been for two years, and there will continue 314 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: to not be accountability. 315 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: So if you are frustrated with what is happening, there's 316 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: only one choice. In my mind, you. 317 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 4: Know, I'm in complete and total agreement. Listen to Republicans 318 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 4: have been sick offense in the House of Representatives, nothing 319 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 4: but reckless rubber stamps for Donald Trump's extreme agenda. Then 320 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 4: like wholly owned some sidiaries of the Trump cartel, as 321 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 4: opposed to behaving like a separate and co equal branch 322 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 4: of government. And my only point is that listen, as Democrats, 323 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 4: yet we're going to deliver accountability. But that is not 324 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 4: us being partisan, that's us being patriotic. 325 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: Yes, that I agree with. 326 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: By the way, talking about we were talking about Delainey 327 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: and New Jersey. I gotta ask you something, where the 328 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 1: hell is Congressman Thomas Kane from New Jersey? I mean, 329 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: how is it possible that somebody doesn't show up to 330 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: work do any job, whether you are flipping burgers in 331 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: Hamburg and in McDonald's, or whether you are a co 332 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: host on the viewer, whether you're in Congress, How does 333 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: somebody not show up for three months miss over one 334 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: hundred votes and there's no explanation. 335 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an inexplicable situation. 336 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 4: In fact, during my time in Congress, I'm in my 337 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 4: seventh term now, I've never seen anything. 338 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: Like this, And so you are minor. 339 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: Nobody's explained it to you. You have no idea where 340 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: the hell this guy is and what's happening. 341 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 4: Mike Johnson has had nothing to say about Tom Kane 342 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 4: Junior's absence. We've heard nothing from the Republican Majority Leader, 343 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 4: the Republican Majority Whip. There's no explanation provided. And it 344 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 4: seems to me at minimum that Tom Kane Jr. Should 345 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 4: have something to say to the people that he represents 346 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 4: in New Jersey, given all of the votes that have 347 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 4: been missed, the lack of advocacy that's taken place. I 348 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 4: wish him well, to be clear if he's dealing with 349 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 4: something serious, and it must be serious to be out 350 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 4: for this period of time, We wish him well. But 351 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 4: the people of the seventh Congressional District in New Jersey 352 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 4: are owed an explanation. 353 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: Shouldn't there be rules about this? I mean shouldn't I mean? 354 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you and I are old enough 355 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: to remember when Republican had a fit when Lloyd Austin, 356 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: the former Secretary of Defense under Joe Biden, was missing 357 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: for like a couple of days because he was having 358 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: prostate surgery, and they called that an abdication of duty. 359 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: Shouldn't there be some rule, some rules. 360 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: That applied to people in Congress that they should be 361 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: transparent with their I mean, I feel that when you're 362 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: in elected office, you give up certain privacy. 363 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: You just do because you owe it to the people 364 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: you represent. 365 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: As you just said, that is something that should be done. 366 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 3: We can do it by rule. 367 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 4: It's something that Democrats will certainly look at in terms 368 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,239 Speaker 4: of making sure that we ensure the greatest level of 369 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 4: transparency as it relates to people when there's a prolonged absence. 370 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 4: And that's the reality of serving at this moment in time. 371 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: We are representatives for the American people. We work for 372 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 4: the people. They are our employers. And the reality is 373 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 4: in the House representatives, we're on a two year employment contract. 374 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 4: We got to go back to the people every two 375 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 4: years and make our case as to why that employment 376 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 4: contract should be renewed, and that of course, should require 377 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 4: the greatest level of transparency. 378 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about something that I know 379 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: is personal to you, personal to you as Hakim Jeffries 380 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: the American citizen, and personal to you as a member 381 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: of Congress and in leadership. And it is what you 382 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: have called the Supreme Court taking a blow torch to 383 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: voting rights. 384 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: We're living through. 385 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: It in Florida right now, where the same day as 386 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court decision came down, Ron DeSantis ran to 387 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: change the congressional districts in Florida. There is a congresswoman 388 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: friend of mine who I've known for many, many years, 389 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: a good congresswoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Her district, she's been 390 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: in office for decades. Her district was the few boosed 391 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: into five other districts, and she's now running in what 392 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: is traditionally an African American district. You haven't endorsed, But 393 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: what are people to do? What are voters to do 394 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: about something like this? 395 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: Yeah? 396 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: You know, what I've made clear is that this is 397 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 4: a corrupt decision by a Supreme Court that's no longer 398 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 4: interested in applying the facts the law of the Constitution. 399 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 4: They made that clear in their decision related to allowing 400 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 4: Alabama to proceed with a map that a three judge 401 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 4: panel consisting of two judges appointed by Donald Trump and 402 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 4: one judge appointed by Ronald Reagan declared to be racially 403 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 4: discriminatory against African Americans, and then they just allowed. 404 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 3: It to proceed. 405 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 4: So basically what is taking place right now is that 406 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court far right conservative majority. They are behaving 407 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 4: like they work for the partisan Republican Party. That's what 408 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 4: their decisions are designed to do. At this point, they're 409 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 4: gutting the voting right back and unleashing these Jim Crow 410 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 4: like tactics on communities in the Deep South. 411 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: But the white usually white men I sit with a 412 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: places like CNN who defend Trump, will say to me, well, wait, 413 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: are you saying that a white man can't represent Latinos 414 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: or African Americans? Are you saying that an African American 415 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: can't represent a white citizen. So I just I think 416 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: that they completely missed the point, first because they want 417 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: to miss it, but also because they have never had 418 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: no representation, because they've never felt the wound of lack 419 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: of representation, that they don't understand the importance. 420 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: So how do you define the importance of representation? 421 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 4: Well, every community, the black community, the Latino community, rural communities, 422 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 4: throughout women, women Asian American community. They should all be 423 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 4: allowed to elect the candidate of their choice in an 424 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 4: unfettered way, in a free and fair election. The reason 425 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 4: for the Voting Rights Act in the first place was 426 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 4: because for decades, African American communities have been systematically targeted 427 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 4: to prevent African Americans from electing the candidate of their choice, 428 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 4: breaking these communities apart, preventing people from being able to vote, 429 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 4: playing all manner of games in terms of registration. 430 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: This is the backdrop to why. 431 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: The Voting Rights Act was needed, the most important civil 432 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 4: rights bill in the history of the country. And we 433 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 4: of course simply support the ability of every single American 434 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 4: to choose who their representatives should be as opposed to 435 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 4: partisan games being played in this instant by Donald Trump, 436 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 4: facilitated by the Supreme Court, so that you've got elected officials, 437 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: establishment Republicans, MAGA extremists choosing the people that they want 438 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 4: to serve in Congress as opposed to the people being 439 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 4: able to choose who should represent them in the House 440 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 4: of Representatives. That's what this is all about. Steve Cohen, 441 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 4: whose district was just broken up, who represents the people 442 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 4: of Memphis and was first elected in two thousand and six, 443 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 4: represents and has for twenty years one of the most 444 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 4: African American districts in America. At some points that district 445 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 4: was more than sixty percent black. But Steve Cohen, who's 446 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 4: white and Jewish and a great member of Congress. I 447 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 4: served with him on the Judiciary Committee, has been repeatedly 448 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 4: elected by the people of mephis. But now they've broken 449 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 4: his district up because they don't want to give the 450 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 4: African Americans in Memphis the ability to elect someone like 451 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 4: Steve Cohen or Harold Ford Senior and Junior, who preceded him. 452 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 3: And that's the problem. 453 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: This session, these last two years, these particularly last few months, 454 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: have been horrible when it comes to behavior by members 455 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: of Congress. We saw Tony Gonzalez, Republican from Texas, who 456 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: was having an affair with his district diirector, who ended 457 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: up dousing herself with gasoline and dying by suicide. We 458 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: saw Eric Swalwell in California who had to drop out 459 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: of the governor's race and after horrible allegations, and it 460 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 1: keeps happening. We are seeing allegations coming out against Graham Platner, 461 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: who's running for the Senate and Maine. My question is, 462 00:29:54,320 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: so this sexual harassment claims fund in Congress, it still exists, 463 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: and there's still not full transparency. After this we are 464 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, will there be full transparency under 465 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffries as to who has received these payments and 466 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: who they were made to defend and on behalf of 467 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this is taxpayer money. 468 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: We believe in transparency and we believe in accountability. And 469 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 4: clearly the Congress, the House has to do much more 470 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 4: to create a workplace environment for the women on Capitol 471 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 4: Hill and for everyone on Capitol Hill, but for the 472 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 4: women on Capitol Hill in particular, that is free of harassment, 473 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 4: free of intimidation, and free certainly of violence in any way, 474 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 4: shape or form. 475 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: How the hell can this. 476 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: Be happening in twenty twenty six. The Me Too movement 477 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: was over a decade ago. How can there be such 478 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: hubris at this level and at this point, I just 479 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: don't get it. 480 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 4: Back in twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, there was some progress 481 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 4: and the broken system was improved in some ways, but 482 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 4: there's clearly more work to be done. And you know, 483 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 4: I'm thankful that the chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus, 484 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 4: Congresswoman to Race Alleja Fernandez, who represents Albuquerque and the 485 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 4: great state of New Mexico, she is leading an effort 486 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 4: that's now bipartisan to evaluate the entirety of the system, 487 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 4: figure out where it's broken, and to make strong recommendations 488 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 4: about the type of decisive action that needs to be 489 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 4: taken so that we can get past the situation that 490 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 4: we're in and ensure a workplace that treats every woman 491 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 4: with dignity and respect. 492 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: I'm sure you got this. 493 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: Question a ton, but I'm going to ask it anyways. 494 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: I hear from all my Democratic friends they hate Trump. 495 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: They want Trump controlled, but they don't want the Democratic 496 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: message to be we hate Trump. They they are fired 497 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: up about their being accountability on Trump, but they feel 498 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: this malaise and dissatisfaction with Democrats and what they call 499 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: the lack of democratic message. So, I mean, what is 500 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: the democratic message and what do people want? What is 501 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: it that you need to give them that they need 502 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: to hear, you know what? And particularly I would ask 503 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: you about Latino men and black men who left a 504 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: lot of them left the Democratic Party and voted for 505 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty four. 506 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 2: What are you doing to bring these guys back? 507 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 4: Well, we're certainly in conversation with black and Latino men, 508 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 4: working class folks all across the country, with younger Americans 509 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 4: in particular, many of whom were Trump curious and voted 510 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 4: for Donald Trump. They believed that he was going to 511 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 4: drive down the high cost to live. In fact, Trump 512 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 4: said he was going to lower cost on day one. 513 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 4: The exact opposite has happened. But we understand Trump's been 514 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 4: a disaster. His policies have been a disaster, and the 515 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 4: economy is failing under Donald Trump, and everybody understands that 516 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 4: right now. But at the same period of time, of course, 517 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 4: we have to articulate an affirmative vision for making life 518 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 4: better decisively for the American people, and we got to 519 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 4: do it in a way that's authentic, so that everyday 520 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 4: Americans know that we hear them, we see them, we 521 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 4: feel them, and we are determined to make life better 522 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 4: for them by lowering the high cost of living, fixing 523 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 4: our broken healthcare system, and cleaning up corruption. And so 524 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 4: that vision for us really is captured by costs, by 525 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 4: care right, that's childcare, that's health care, that's elder care. 526 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 4: And by cleaning up corruption, because we're dealing with the 527 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 4: most corrupt administration in American history. These people Donald Trump, 528 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 4: he makes Richardnesson look like a choir boy. And corruption 529 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 4: doesn't simply benefit the people who are correct in the system, 530 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 4: it hurts everyday Americans because if Donald Trump and Republicans 531 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 4: are focused right now on enriching themselves, their family members, 532 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 4: their friends, and their donors, then they're not focused on 533 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 4: actually making life better for the American people. Our promise 534 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 4: to every day Americans, including black and Latino men, is 535 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 4: that we know the system is broken. 536 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 3: We know it's failed you. We know that you're. 537 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 4: Working hard, you're playing by the rules, but you're unable 538 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 4: to get ahead. And that's not America. And we need 539 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 4: to decisively act to bring the American dream to life 540 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 4: for you and for everybody in this great country. 541 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: We are very close now, we're just a few weeks 542 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: away from the two hundred and fiftieth Birthday of America. 543 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: There was a recent poll that said two out of 544 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: three Republicans are feeling pride in their country one out 545 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: of five, only one out of five Democrats feels proud 546 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: of their country, how does Hakim Jeffreys. 547 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 3: I love America. I'm proud of America. 548 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 4: It's a high honor and a distinct privilege for me 549 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 4: to be part of this representative democracy, to serve in 550 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 4: this position, you know, having been raised in a working 551 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 4: class neighborhood in central Brooklyn, coming of age in a 552 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 4: difficult time for the community, the city, in the country, 553 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 4: in the midst of the crack cocaine epidemic, and now 554 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 4: to have an opportunity to represent people back at home 555 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 4: and to serve in this position. America is a great country, 556 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 4: but we're not a perfect country. 557 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 3: But what the. 558 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 4: Framers did promise us was a march total, more perfect union. 559 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 4: And I love this country, but dislike what's happening in 560 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 4: America right now and the extremism that Donald Trump has 561 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 4: unleashed on the American people. The good news is this 562 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 4: isn't a dictatorship. It is a democracy and we've been 563 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 4: gifted the ability to turn the situation around as long 564 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 4: as we show up and stand up and speak up 565 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 4: for what is right. And as John Lewis would have 566 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 4: us do, go out there and get into some good trouble. 567 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 2: Thank you very much for having joined me today. I 568 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 2: hope to see you again. 569 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: I hope to see you in person, and I hope 570 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: to see you become Speaker of the House of Representatives. 571 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 3: Always great to be with you. Look forward to seeing 572 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 3: you in person soon. 573 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: Thank you for that great interview, Hakeem Jeffries. And before 574 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: we go today, I want to break down an issue 575 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: that has been making headlines. It's been making headlines because 576 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's unfounded claims of election fraud in California. 577 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 2: They have zero evidence. 578 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: Trump and his cronies who have been echoing his claims 579 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: of fraud have zero evidence to back up that there 580 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: is any fraud in California. Listen, California has a very 581 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: unique system. They take a long time to vote, but 582 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 1: there is no evidence of fraud. 583 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 2: And so here's what happened. Trump endorsed two candidates. 584 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: Were a bunch of different races in California at the 585 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: state level, the local level, congressional level, but there were 586 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: two that really got a lot of attention. One was 587 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: the mayor's race in la where Karen Bass has advanced 588 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: to the general and where Trump had advanced had endorsed 589 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: Reality TV star Spencer Pratt, and in another race, which 590 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 1: is the governor's race, Trump had endorsed has endorsed Steve Hilton, 591 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: a Fox News contributor and right wing commentator. Okay, so 592 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: what happened on election night? Spencer Pratt was in the 593 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: number two spot, which would have meant that he would 594 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: have gone on to the general and Steve Hilton was 595 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: in the number one spot in the governor's primary. Then 596 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: as more votes continued to come in, Spencer Pratt lost 597 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: the number two spot and is now not going to 598 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: the general election, and Steve Hilton went from being number 599 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: one to being number two. Javier Bessera won the primary 600 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: election the number one spot and is going to a 601 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: general election runoff in November against Steve Hilton. Trump, Elon Musk, 602 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: Spencer Pratt, and a bunch of other magas have been 603 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: out on media outlets on TV claiming that there is 604 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: election fraud. So, okay, listen, this is what happens. Election fraud. 605 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: Let's just understand this. Election fraud is extremely rare in 606 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: the United States. The reported cases of fraud are less 607 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: less than one percent. Republicans they had a lead in 608 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 1: California in the mayor's race and in the governor's race. 609 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: There's something in California that's called the red mirage. 610 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 2: And so what happens. 611 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: Most Republican voters vote day of or vote early. Most 612 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: Democratic voters vote by mail. Republicans don't vote by mail 613 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump has been saying now for years that 614 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: voting by mail is fraud. And in California they allow 615 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: any ballot that has been postmarked on election day, they 616 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: give it seven days to come in. So any ballots 617 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: postmarked on election day or before are counted, and they 618 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: wait for ballots for seven days and then they count them. 619 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: And so those are overwhelmingly Democratic voters. So yes, there 620 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: was a big lead, and these usually change because Republicans 621 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: vote in a different. 622 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 2: Manner than Democrats vote. 623 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: The Democratic ballots, millions of them, because we're talking about 624 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: millions of ballots come in through the next seven days 625 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: and are counted, and there are a lot of safeguards 626 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: in California. They check every signature, they verify every mail 627 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: in ballot, and that's why it takes that long. But 628 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: there is no indication, no reason to believe that there 629 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: was fraud. In fact, if there was fraud, the question 630 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 1: would be. Then why in the hell did the Trump 631 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: endorsed candidate Steve Hilton come in number two. He's going 632 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: to go to the general election, you see. So this 633 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: claim is bullshit. Claim makes zero sense because what did 634 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: Californians do commit fraud on the mayor's race but not 635 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: commit fraud on the primary governor's race. So, yes, the 636 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: Trump candidate lost for mayor of LA, but the Trump 637 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: candidate advanced to the general election in the primary for governor. 638 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: So you can't have it both ways. You can't say 639 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: that there was fraud when it comes to the mayoral race, 640 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: but not fraud. 641 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 2: When it comes to the governor's primary race. 642 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: In fact, Steve Hilton, the Trump endorsed candidate himself, has 643 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: been out there saying that they're there is no fraud. 644 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: And let me just say, the Democratic billionaires Tom Steyer, 645 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 1: who came in number three for the governor's primary, has 646 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: said that democracy worked and that he was going to 647 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: give time for democracy to work. But why is this important? 648 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: The reason this is important is because this is just 649 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: the latest attempt by Trump to suppress the vote, to 650 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: call in to question the integrity of elections, to depress 651 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 1: the vote by making Americans believe that voting doesn't matter 652 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: and that elections are corrupt. We have seen them go 653 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: in and jerry mander and draw new districts in places 654 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: like Texas, like Alabama. We have seen them claim that 655 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: mail in ballots are fraudulent. We have seen them claim. 656 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 2: Election fraud in California. 657 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: We are now seeing some sort of Kakamami attempt where 658 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: they are threatening that the US Postal Service will not 659 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: deliver will not agree to deliver mail in ballots in 660 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: the states that do not share their voter roles with them. 661 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 1: We have seen them do things like going to Georgia 662 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:17,919 Speaker 1: to confiscate the ballots from the twenty twenty elections. All 663 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 1: of these are attempts to keep the voter fraud claim 664 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: in the headlines for two reasons. Number one is because 665 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump will never acknowledge, we will never accept that 666 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: he legitimately and fairly lost the twenty twenty elections. He'll 667 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: just never get over it. He's never going to accept it. 668 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: And number two, because he wants to make you, the 669 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: American voter, believe that voting is tainted and rigged, so 670 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: that when he loses the House in November and maybe 671 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: the Senate. He can claimed that it was a rigged election, 672 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: and he can keep Americans from going to the ballot 673 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: and voting because they think, you know, what's the point 674 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: if it's corrupt, if it's rigged, what's the point of 675 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: going out and voting. Folks, do not believe this narrative. 676 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: Do not take the bait, do not buy this bullshit. 677 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,760 Speaker 1: I believe that this is going to backfire on Trump. 678 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: I think people Americans are too smart to believe this, 679 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: and they're going to come out of every nook and 680 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: cranny to vote in November, and Trump and his cronies 681 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: are going to be in for a big, big wake 682 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 1: up call.
