Speaker 2: we have Jasmine Crockett.

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 3: Welcome.

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. I'm excited to be here with y'all.

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: She's a US representative from Texas thirtieth Congregational District, a

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: congressional district.

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: I should say, how are you to welcome?

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 4: I'm good.

11
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: I was just having a conversation about you. I mean,

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: I was talking about good sister Amanda Seals, and she

13
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: brought you.

14
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, yes, my sister. Yeah, she's going hard.

15
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 5: Amanda is really doing the people's work as far as

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 5: I'm concerned, right, because Amanda has leaned in and said, listen,

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 5: there's certain things that I don't know about politics. So

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 5: if I don't know these things, I got to make

19
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 5: sure that I'm communicating to the people that follow me

20
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 5: so that they can better be informed about what's going on.

21
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 5: So she will pick up the phone and give me

22
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 5: a quick call when she's got questions, because.

23
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you need people like her to be translators, right.

24
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I've always felt like the messaging from the Democratic.

25
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 5: Party sucks, you know, that's the nice way of putting it.

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, she's been able to translate it up in

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a very digestible way for people.

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And you know, it's just one of those things

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: I say, the Democrats love to write a thesis, yes,

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 5: when really when it comes to the Republicans, they like,

31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 5: what are not cards? Like what are cliff notes? And

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 5: that's what we need to do. People are busy trying

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 5: to figure out how they're going to keep a roof

34
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 5: over their head, keep food in their bellies, keep yas

35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: in the car, and we're giving out what literally looks

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 5: like bills half the time. We're telling them, you know,

37
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 5: thousands of pages of stuff, and people are saying, give

38
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 5: me the top lines because I got to get to work.

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: And so I think it is important to make sure

40
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 5: that you have really good ambassadors that are delivering the message,

41
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 5: but they are also delivering it in a very accurate way,

42
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 5: because we know that there's a ton of misinformation and

43
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: disinformation that's out in these streets.

44
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: I always tell people that sometimes you have to explain

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: it like you're talking to a child, because some times

46
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: people don't know on the don't necessarily understand politics.

47
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and when we're.

48
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: In school, a lot of times we take those classes

49
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: just to get through it because we're more concerned with our.

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: Major Absolutely, what got you into politics?

51
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: Oh Lord, clearly I need my head checked. But no

52
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: for me.

53
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 5: You know, I actually practiced law, so I've been licensed

54
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 5: I think at this point for about eighteen years in Texas,

55
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 5: Arkansas and federal courts. And as I was walking into court,

56
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 5: whether it was the civil rights cases or the criminal

57
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 5: defense cases, I will walk in and I would say,

58
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: this system is not working. Like when you walk in

59
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: and you know that you're going to lose because the

60
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 5: laws that are on the books don't work for people

61
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 5: that look like me and you. Then I'm like, something

62
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 5: has to be done. And maybe it's because the lawmakers

63
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: just don't understand what they're doing. Now I found out

64
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: that they absolutely understood. Yeah, they know what they're doing.

65
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 5: I was the green one, but that's what drove me

66
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 5: into politics. And my very first race for the state

67
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: House in Texas, oddly enough, a man by the name

68
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 5: of George Floyd and ended up being killed between my

69
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: primary and my runoff. And when I was running initially

70
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: I said, we're in the midst of a modern day

71
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 5: civil rights movement, and people thought that I was like

72
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 5: being extra when I said that, But ultimately, like when

73
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 5: he ended up being killed, I'm like, this is what

74
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: I'm talking about. Like, if we don't start to understand

75
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 5: how these systems work, who puts the police chief in charge?

76
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: Who writes the policies for the police chiefs? Who makes

77
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 5: the laws that allow for them to kill us and

78
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: then face no retribution?

79
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 4: Like who does that?

80
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 5: And so when I ended up participating in so many

81
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 5: of the protests, and when I would go out there,

82
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: I was like, what's the best role I can play

83
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: keeping people out of jail? So I represented over six

84
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 5: hundred people pro bono during those protests, and no one

85
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 5: ended up with a conviction that I helped.

86
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: And so I made sure we got people out of jail.

87
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 5: I made sure I told them what the law was,

88
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: and I made sure I told them, now, how do

89
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: we go from policy or how do we go from

90
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 5: protesting to policy? And ultimately that's why I think I

91
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 5: was successful, And I think that you know, we have

92
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 5: to have more people that didn't grow up saying I'm

93
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 5: going into politics. But we have to have more people

94
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: that say, you know what, something is wrong with my

95
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: community and I need to step up to the plate.

96
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: So what's your job in politics? And somebody will say, well,

97
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: what is Jasmin Crocott's job? What do you do?

98
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: Black congresswoman?

99
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I am. No, I'm just kidding with that.

100
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: No.

101
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: So my job is to write the laws. We write

102
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: the laws for the entire country. But beyond that, the

103
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 5: biggest thing that we do is we hand out money.

104
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: We are the ones and that's what we're not doing

105
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: right now.

106
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 5: When everybody's like, oh, the government is about to shut down,

107
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 5: what does a shutdown mean? That means that we're about

108
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 5: to stop delivering money. So we are supposed to appropriate

109
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 5: all the money. So when people say, hey, we got

110
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 5: to pay our taxes, whether it's corporate taxes, personal taxes,

111
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 5: whatever moneys we actually collect into the treasury. We have

112
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 5: to then disseminate that money. So when people are saying, hey,

113
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 5: we don't have money come into our community, actually you

114
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: may have mo money come into your community. The question

115
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: is what are the people that are in receipt of.

116
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: That money doing with the money.

117
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: Right, So, in a state like Texas, a lot of

118
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 5: times we say, listen, Greg Abby, he not about this life.

119
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: And so what we need to do is work around him.

120
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 5: We need to make sure that those county executives and

121
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 5: make sure that those city elected officials get the money,

122
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 5: because we can't trust our governor to do what he's

123
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 5: supposed to do as we appropriate that money. So a

124
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 5: lot of times it's a combination. You know, most people

125
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 5: want to show up for one race, right like they'll

126
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 5: show up for the presidential they'll vote for president, and

127
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 5: then they don't show up for city council. Chances are

128
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 5: somebody like me, I'm collecting the money and I'm sending

129
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 5: it down and I'm saying, hey, this is what it

130
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: needs to be used for. Or for instance, one of

131
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: the great bills that most people haven't really zoned in

132
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 5: on that the Democrats as well as the President signed

133
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 5: into law was the Infrastructure Act. So we've all saw,

134
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 5: we all saw what happened in Flint, Michigan. We all

135
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 5: know what happened. We also know what happened down in Jackson,

136
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: Mississippi with their water. So this administration, that Biden Harris

137
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 5: administration said, listen, what we're going to do is make

138
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: sure we start addressing environmental injustice issues, whether it's the air,

139
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 5: the water, or the soil, because it's literally killing people

140
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: every single day that look like us.

141
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: And so what they've done is.

142
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: It's something real. What you said just now is absolutely true.

143
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: I understood what you said. How come Democrats can't see flint.

144
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna fix the dirty water Flint. We're gonna make

145
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: sure y'all got clean with flint. We made sure y'all

146
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: got clean water. This bill makes sure y' now.

147
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: I agree with that they not doing that, but it

148
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: is a combination of things. Right, So.

149
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 5: The presidential administration, they gotta do their part, but also

150
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: congressional So when I show up like I've delivered millions

151
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 5: of dollars to my community, my community is a majority

152
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 5: majority minority district. So almost eighty percent of my district

153
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 5: is black or brown. And so what I've done is

154
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: we got the big fake chicks. We call all the

155
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 5: media listen, we do.

156
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Like keep it simple.

157
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: I mean, seriously, you got to keep it simple.

158
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: Right.

159
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 5: I bring my EPA administrator out and that's y'all are

160
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 5: getting his money because of this bill and because of

161
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 5: the president and the Vice president and I tell them,

162
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 5: and we're doing amazing things. But the thing is we

163
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 5: as members, we also have to carry some of that

164
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: water because it's only so many places that the president

165
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 5: and the vice president can get to, right, So it

166
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 5: is a team effort. I just don't know that, like

167
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 5: we all get on the same page.

168
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: I don't know we have issame.

169
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: By the way. That's that right. There is such a

170
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: simple thing a president could say or a vice president

171
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: could say, so people can point to and say this

172
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: is what the administration. I don't need to know all

173
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: the minutia been. I don't even know everything in there.

174
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: The wall are getting clean exactly, that's it. Yeah.

175
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: And the bill was like over a thousand pages exactly

176
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: exactly right, Yeah, and you just need the top lines.

177
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: So we spoke about the president. What's your thoughts on Biden.

178
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: You know a lot of black people are not efforting

179
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: them right now, not riding with them necessarily, don't even

180
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: want to vote on them.

181
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: I know, I know it's stressing me out. It's stressed

182
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: me out. Listen, it's stressing me out because you know,

183
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 5: I have direct access to the president obviously, and I

184
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 5: almost wish everyone could have a real sit down with

185
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: the president, like a one on one and a real

186
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 5: sit down with the vice president. I'm gonna be real

187
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: because it's just one of those things that most people

188
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: don't have access to. And I'm gonna be honest with

189
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 5: you about this. Trump was amazing at propaganda. I mean,

190
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 5: when we got the stimulus checks, they were delayed because

191
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 5: he said, I want to I want to put my

192
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: signature on it.

193
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: Now. Trump wasn't the one that said, hey, this is

194
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: what we need to do for the people.

195
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: It was the Democratic House, the Democratic Senate to pass

196
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 5: the legislation.

197
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 4: He didn't even initiate it.

198
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 5: He just signed it into law, right, But he was like,

199
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 5: this is a good opportunity. The problem is that it's

200
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 5: exactly what you just said, Like, we need a president

201
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 5: that's gonna go around and brag on himself. He needs

202
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 5: to be bragging about the fact he and his VP,

203
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 5: who graduated from an HBCU, needs to be bragging about

204
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: the fact that they actually have given more money to

205
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 5: HBCUs than Trump ever did.

206
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 4: But you know what Trump did.

207
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: He sat back, he took a picture with all the

208
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 5: HBCU presidents. So everybody's like, oh, Trump gave no no, no, no, no, no,

209
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 5: Let's let's be real about this. This actually was the

210
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 5: result of a bill that was signed into law by

211
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 5: a Republican by a Bush and ultimately this was a reauthorization.

212
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: In the reauthorization, he actually wanted to zero out the HBCUs.

213
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 5: But a black woman out of North Carolina, my colleague

214
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: almost she said, oh, this is not what we gonna do,

215
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 5: and so she fought for it. She was able to

216
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 5: get the money back in So once he signed it

217
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 5: back into law, he was like, well, let's take a picture,

218
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 5: Like we have to do some of the gimmicky things,

219
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: the things that will allow people to see and visualize.

220
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: But let me tell you something, it's just wax shit.

221
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Like when they kneeling down and kN t cloth, you

222
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: know in Congress, Like that's nobody asked for that.

223
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: I wasn't part of that son.

224
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 5: With that, you know what I'm saying, because I do

225
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 5: try to have conversations, you know. I just had a

226
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 5: conversation about Cardi b and her and what she has

227
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: said like behind closed doors. I think that is one

228
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: of the benefits of having some of the younger members

229
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 5: or the members that haven't really been ingrained in politics

230
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 5: like that, because we can translate and say, hey, we

231
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 5: need to work on the messaging on this, because this

232
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 5: is what's out in the streets. But back to the president,

233
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 5: we have two options. We have one person that, hey,

234
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 5: a lot of people say, isn't perfect. And this is

235
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 5: what we do in this country is we are always

236
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 5: searching for perfection, whether it's in our preacher at church

237
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 5: or whether it's in our president.

238
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: And the reality is that none of us is perfect.

239
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: I promise you.

240
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 5: While I believe that my district loves me, there are

241
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 5: some people that definitely don't agree with me on certain things.

242
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 4: That's just what it is in life.

243
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 5: We don't agree with our spouses on everything in life, right,

244
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 5: and so we don't necessarily have to agree with this

245
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 5: president on everything. But let me tell you something, he

246
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 5: at least is not a danger. My concern is the

247
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: fact that Trump is an actual threat and danger to us,

248
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 5: whether it's our democracy. This is somebody that sat back

249
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 5: and said on day one, I'm going to be a dictator.

250
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 5: Do we not understand what it means to have a

251
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 5: dictatorship like in this country, in the Land of the Free.

252
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 5: And let's talk about like when we really look at

253
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: his homies on the Republican side. We've seen the dysfunction

254
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: in the Republican House, We've seen what they want to do.

255
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: All they have is chaos.

256
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 5: And so until somebody comes at me and tells me, hey,

257
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 5: this is a policy issue that Trump is trying to

258
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: bring forward, he ain't brought no policy to the table.

259
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: He won't even debate because he knows that he doesn't

260
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 5: have a stance. The only thing that he's trying to

261
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: do is make sure he can stay out of prison.

262
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 5: And listen, I can appreciate the hustle, I can't, right,

263
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 5: but the reality is that we have always been subjected

264
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: to the prison system in this country, and he should

265
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 5: not be above the law. And that's the only reason

266
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 5: that he's trying to get back. So I know, I mean,

267
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 5: I get it, but you're like, it's not everything you.

268
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Said, but it's still the Democrat's fault. And I'll tell

269
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: you why. There's also a third option. The third option

270
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: is the couch. You got. You got Trump, the criminal,

271
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: Biden the coward, and you got the couch. I'm a couch.

272
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: I argue that the couch means the Trump wins.

273
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I argue that, like, it may be three options,

274
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: but we still we got two out of three comes

275
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: up with Trump, and I think that that's a problem.

276
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 4: And for everyone, you.

277
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: Don't think Biden is mentally. That's the reason they say

278
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: that is because we've seen so many things. It seems

279
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: like early signs of dementia, right, And anybody who's been

280
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: around anybody that has dementia, when you start seeing things

281
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: like that, it brings you back to those moments. Now

282
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: when he's not in those moments, Yeah, he seems fine,

283
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: but it's those moments that scare you because anybody that

284
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: knows somebody in dementia, it comes fast and it comes

285
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: without with time. So you're talking about another four years

286
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: and four years, you know, showing.

287
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Getting no younger. He needs to just step aside. Three.

288
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 5: He's not getting any younger. None of us are getting

289
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: any younger.

290
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: I might, I might add.

291
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say this.

292
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say that, does you need to step aside? No,

293
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say that you need.

294
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 4: We gonna lose. We gonna lose. We s'all don't lose

295
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: if we don't have Joe.

296
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: He said, there's fifty other people in the Democratic Party

297
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: he thinks could beat Trump. He said that. So if

298
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: there's fifty other people he thinks he could be, that

299
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: could be Trump.

300
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 5: He needs to step d Listen, I'm telling you all

301
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 5: this is first of all, it's not gonna happen because

302
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,359
Speaker 5: we have deadlines, like, for instance, my file and deadline

303
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 5: is going to be on Monday in Texas.

304
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 4: Like, you don't have time, you don't have time, step down.

305
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: They have to change the rules.

306
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: No no, no, no no no no no no no

307
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 5: no no no no.

308
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 4: He will still be on the ballot.

309
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 5: It's just like people die and still end up on

310
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: the ballots because like, the rules are the rules. So

311
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 5: the reality is that we don't have time to even

312
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 5: get somebody onto all these ballots, not to mention the

313
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 5: amount of money that it takes to run campaigns, like

314
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 5: it is just not realistic. And and here's the deal.

315
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: We have a president that has accomplished so much, and

316
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 5: so right now out everybody like, well, forget the accomplishments.

317
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 5: They need to start selling and telling, in a very

318
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 5: short sentence, exactly what they've accomplished. When is it that

319
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 5: somebody is saying like excelled, and then people say, well,

320
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 5: step aside because you old, because that's essentially what it

321
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 5: amounts to when I hear you on what you're.

322
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: Saying, old has nothing to do with it is We

323
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: talked about him not getting younger.

324
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: For me, I said, it's the dementia of what I've

325
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: seen like this, like my dad dementia.

326
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: It's early dementia of what I see. Well, eighty eight

327
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: years old, he's considered old.

328
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: But he has no signs of dementia. He's he can run,

329
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: he could jump, he could do everything, he can think straight.

330
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: But my mother in law had who passed away from dementia,

331
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: was a totally different story, and it was one of

332
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: those things we could have a great conversation on Monday.

333
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: On Tuesday, she didn't know who I was.

334
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking the old president versus fascism any day.

335
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: Oh that part, as well as when do we get

336
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 5: to the point in a country where we think that

337
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 5: it's okay to have somebody who's not facing one but

338
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 5: ninety one and ninety one felony, Like I mean, like seriously,

339
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 5: like there is no so to me, I don't understand

340
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: why it's even a debate because there used to be

341
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: a time in this country you couldn't even be.

342
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: Accused of something way less significant.

343
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 5: But I will tell you about your comments on the

344
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: dimension because I don't want you to think that I'm

345
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 5: ducking it at all. I've not seen anything that makes

346
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 5: me think that. What I think people forget is the

347
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: fact that the president actually has overcome a speaking impediment.

348
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 5: So people forget the fact, they forget Joe's story, they

349
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 5: forget the fact that he actually has a speaking impediment

350
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 5: that he actually went through I think speech therapy to

351
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 5: try to overcome. And I personally believe it's not a

352
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: matter of like you're able to necessarily change that.

353
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: You learn how to work around it.

354
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: And I believe what people are seeing is a result

355
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 5: of the fact that he is getting older and those

356
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 5: skills that he's used to kind of overcome some of

357
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 5: that is starting to seep back in.

358
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 4: That is personally what I believe that I'm seeing.

359
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 5: But as somebody who listen, I just tell my staff

360
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 5: because they got an event that they want to do,

361
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 5: and I was like, y'all know, I hate these picture lines, right,

362
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 5: Like they're probably mad that I just said that on

363
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: the radio, But like we have to do these.

364
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: Picture lines there line.

365
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 5: Basically, you know, when you have any event, then everybody

366
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 5: wants to take yes, and so you don't get to

367
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 5: enjoy the event because you're just standing there. You're taking

368
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 5: pictures the whole time everybody else is mingling. So the

369
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 5: White House I think has over thirty something Christmas parties, absolutely,

370
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 5: and we just had the members Christmas party. So they

371
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: separate them into different The media had one. The members

372
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: just had ours on Monday.

373
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: Black media because I went to the Black media one last.

374
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: Year, so.

375
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: I love it. I lived for it.

376
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 5: They're they're a good time. You should you should do it,

377
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: just just to okay fae. So anyway, So but literally

378
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 5: they were standing there for hours, and I remember somebody

379
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: like staff was like President, do you do you need

380
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: a break?

381
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 4: He was like nope, I'm good.

382
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: Like he never got to mingle, and he he was

383
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 5: up there for I couldn't do it.

384
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 4: I don't like to do it for an hour.

385
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 5: So those are the things that people don't see, is

386
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 5: the behind the scenes and how I mean, this man

387
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: wakes up early, he works late, and you know, I

388
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 5: remember the only time I've been into the Oval office,

389
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 5: he brought a small group of us in and he

390
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 5: was talking to us. And when I tell you that

391
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 5: he can remember stuff back way way long ago, and

392
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 5: I probably can't tell you what happened about two three years.

393
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: Ago like that. I mean, I can't give him credit

394
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: for that.

395
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just saying, like he.

396
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: Really memories, I'm not gonna do it.

397
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: I also want to point out why everybody want to

398
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 5: talk about our president a is oh we got old

399
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 5: versus all.

400
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 4: I just want to I just want to be clear

401
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: about that.

402
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: Okay.

403
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 5: The problem they both AARP like I just let's let's

404
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 5: be honest.

405
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: And I talked about this on the Daily Show this week.

406
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: The other problem is Democrats have demonized every Republican candidate forever.

407
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: Because I can read Member everybody was yes, everybody was

408
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: the person that's going en democracy. Everybody was the person

409
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: that was going usher in fascism. Everybody was everybody. They've

410
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: demonized everyone, John McCain, Mitt Romney, anyn George Bush. I

411
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: remember when George Bush literally was like the anti Christ

412
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: to people. I know. Now him and Michelle hugged up

413
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: every time we see them. So it's like now when

414
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: there is actually a threat nobody believes you, because that's

415
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: all Democrats ever sell, is fear.

416
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 5: Well, I think that the Republicans sell fear more than

417
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 5: anybody on the other side. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

418
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: I mean I will agree. I think that what we've

419
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 5: seen is we've seen politics shift, right, So we never

420
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 5: thought we would have a Trump and so yeah, in

421
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 5: that time, a Mitt Romney or George Bush was extreme, right,

422
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 5: But now we've got people that have literally said no

423
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 5: to reproductive access. We have people that are under federal

424
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: indictments or felony indictments. I mean, my Attorney general is

425
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 5: out here telling doctors that he's about to prosecute them

426
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 5: if they abide by a court order to save a

427
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 5: woman's life. Like this is what we're living in. So no,

428
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: it is definitely next level when you're talking about the

429
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 5: fact that people who should be in prison who haven't

430
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 5: faced their charges for over seven years, are going out

431
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: and trying to send other people to prison who are

432
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 5: actually trying to do their jobs. Right now, doctors are

433
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 5: facing up to life in prison in the state of

434
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 5: Texas if they have anything to do with abortion, even

435
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: if it is medically necessary. Because you had idiots that

436
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: don't understand anything about medicine, writing the laws for doctors

437
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 5: to follow, and the doctors are like, we don't understand

438
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 5: what this is. Yeah, so I mean it is extreme.

439
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: I just think, y'all, I think Democrats became the party

440
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: who cried wolf.

441
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 4: And you may be right.

442
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 5: I wasn't in politics back then. I mean, you may

443
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 5: be right. I mean I was voting, I was paying attention,

444
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 5: and I agree. I never felt the angst. It's more

445
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 5: so the angst that got me into politics.

446
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: It was the fear.

447
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 5: I remember when Trump got elected, I was researching what

448
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: it would take for me to get my dual citizenship

449
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 5: between the United States and Canada, because I was like,

450
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm gonna need to get up

451
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 5: and out of it.

452
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: Do you think I'm doing the past year? What have

453
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: I've been saying in this room for the longest. I mean,

454
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm not even exaggerating, like.

455
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 4: I'm not either. No, no, no, no, I'm not either.

456
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 5: I mean that was that was a fear moment for me,

457
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 5: and a number of my colleagues, especially in my current class,

458
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 5: were like that's when they got engaged and was like,

459
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 5: wait a minute, ain't nobody coming to save us. I'm

460
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 5: gonna have to step up and save us, you know

461
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So, like like I need people to

462
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 5: understand that, like none of us is perfect, we will

463
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 5: never give you the policies that you believe are perfection

464
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 5: on this planet. It's just not going to happen, especially

465
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 5: because Democrats do believe.

466
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 4: In governing right.

467
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 5: In governance, that means that at some point in time,

468
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 5: you probably have to compromise. So we will never give

469
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 5: you exactly what you want, But what we will do

470
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 5: is do our damnedest to make sure that you were

471
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: safe in this country. And you know, people don't understand

472
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 5: from a foreign like I really just want people just

473
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 5: one day to sit down and google some foreign policy stuff.

474
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 5: From a foreign policy stance, I am very concerned about

475
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: our safety in this country. People weren't given to Reville

476
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 5: a hard time as it relates to our military, and

477
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 5: the Republicans only decided to step up once they were like, okay,

478
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: this is reaching a fever pitch. We just had to

479
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 5: authorize four hundred promotions. People don't understand. In the military,

480
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 5: you reach a point in which the only way you

481
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 5: can be promoted is if the Senate confirms you to

482
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 5: that promotion. If you don't get promoted, then you're out.

483
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 5: We would have lost some of our top brass at

484
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 5: a time in which we have conflicts that are breaking

485
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: out everywhere. That is a problem, that is a national

486
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 5: security problem. People don't understand. I know people are all

487
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 5: upset about funding Ukraine. I know they upset, right, but

488
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: they don't understand that we have the authority to send

489
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 5: our stores to Ukraine the stuff that we had to

490
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 5: protect us. So right now we need to replenish. So

491
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 5: a bunch of that money is to replenish our own

492
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 5: stores of ammunition right now. So it's not just about

493
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 5: it looks like because the top line is funding, funding, funding,

494
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 5: and it's not kind of getting into the minutia.

495
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 4: But we need to make sure we're safe.

496
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 5: And people need to also understand that if Putin is

497
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 5: successful in Ukraine, then he next most likely goes to

498
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 5: maybe Poland. If he goes to Poland, that means that

499
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 5: our troops, our husbands, our brothers, our sons, our sisters,

500
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 5: our mothers, our cousins, our aunties, they're the ones that

501
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 5: are actually going to go into wars.

502
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: So we are talking about no, they already they already

503
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: signed up.

504
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 5: We're about to We're about to send our service members in.

505
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 5: So like this is a matter of like keeping us

506
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: safe as well, like we would rather spend money and say, hey,

507
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 5: you want to defend yourself, Yes, we want to see

508
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 5: you take down this army.

509
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, But people want to eat right now.

510
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: I agree with it.

511
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: If I'm in St. Louis, South Carolina, Texas and money.

512
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 5: I don't disagree, roof, I don't disagree. I don't care

513
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 5: about I agree with all of it. But let me

514
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 5: tell you who the enemy today is. It's still a Republicans.

515
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 5: I sit on the Agriculture Committee right now. We have

516
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 5: the Farm Bill. The Farm bill is where we get

517
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: the snap benefits from. Guess who trying to cut the

518
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 5: snap benefits? Republicans? Guess how much people? I just want

519
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 5: you all to guess how much do people get a

520
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 5: day for snap benefits?

521
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: I forgot.

522
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 5: No, no, no one person a day to eat? How

523
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 5: much do they get?

524
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: And there's.

525
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 5: A day they get six dollars a day, six dollars

526
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: a day. It's all that they're getting and Snap benefits.

527
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 5: And I'm having a fight with Republicans that are like

528
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 5: it's too much money.

529
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 4: Will they buy popcorn?

530
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 5: You can't do nothing with the money in the first place.

531
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 5: They're like, we need to balance the budget. So I

532
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 5: just want to be clear. We can walk and chew

533
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 5: gum six dollars a day. We can feed people in

534
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 5: this country for sure, And honestly, we need to be

535
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 5: making sure that we're increasing the amount that that they're

536
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 5: getting because we know how much food is costing. But

537
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 5: right now I'm trying to hold the line and just

538
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 5: get the dag on six dollars a day. We have

539
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 5: the money to do it all. The problem is we

540
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 5: pick people against each other. We say, well, we can't

541
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 5: feed y'all because we're sending money off to warp. No,

542
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 5: we can actually do it both, and we are demanded

543
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 5: to do it both.

544
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 4: We have twelve appropriations bills.

545
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 5: The Republicans can't get none of them passed because the

546
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: extremists say, we want to cut it all for people

547
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 5: that are complaining about housing.

548
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 4: We had a bill.

549
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: You know what, when they put their appropriations up, they

550
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 5: wanted to cut thirty percent of hood's where you get

551
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 5: your housing vouchers from.

552
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: Why Democrats don't fight for this publicly though, Like like,

553
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: we can't y'all can't just fight in Congress.

554
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it's not sexy. I don't know.

555
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: I don't know why.

556
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, because it looks like Democrats are always

557
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: just laying down and rolling over and letting Republicans just

558
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: run all over there. That's why you go viral when

559
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: you call a gop out and call them a bunch

560
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: of asshole Republicans, which you did. Yeah, why did you

561
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: do that?

562
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: Because they are what you mean?

563
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: I know, But what was the specific thing that made

564
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: you that triggered you that Dan said, no, I'm tired

565
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: of it.

566
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know when I sit there, the Oversight Committee

567
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 5: is where all the drama is. This is where the

568
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 5: impeachment inquiry is, and you know, it's insulting that we

569
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: have idiots like Marjorie Sayley Green, Lauren Bobert, Paul got Star,

570
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 5: Jim Jordan's. I mean, you just name all of the

571
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 5: nonsense Republicans and they sit on this committee and they

572
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 5: sit there so high and mighty, and they talk noise constantly,

573
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: and they're like, oh the Biden crime family.

574
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I'm sorry, have you met the Trumps?

575
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 5: Like, like, who is it this in court every single

576
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 5: day or every other day with something, whether it's the

577
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: fraudulent businesses that he's run, or whether it's his criminal

578
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 5: issues on the state level, on the federal level, and

579
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 5: you're trying to make something out of nothing?

580
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: Is this what we're doing?

581
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: Just getting dited on nine new.

582
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 5: Taxa Okay, all right, so we are okay, so we're

583
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 5: gonna go down. Listen, listen, listen, Listen to me. Now

584
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, okay, crime okay, well, well, okay, there

585
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 5: we go, because I'm the criminal defense attorney.

586
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: But I will say this.

587
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 5: He has been charged for paying his taxes late or

588
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 5: filing his taxes late.

589
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 4: Not not now. Now, I don't know.

590
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 5: Maybe all your listeners that are listening in now have

591
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: always paid their.

592
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 4: Taxes on time.

593
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I've seen too many of us go to

594
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: jail for that.

595
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: For taxes.

596
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, well you don't normally listen, people don't normally

597
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 5: get caught up.

598
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: They he never paid.

599
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: But here's the deal.

600
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: I think there was a promise accountant did something wrong,

601
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: and I thought it went lead acounting totally did something wrong.

602
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: So he was at his counting.

603
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 5: But but but what I'm talking about is like everyday people.

604
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 5: There are people every day people that don't get charged

605
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 5: with this, like this is very rare. Like most of

606
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 5: the time you sit down and they say, okay, I

607
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 5: got busy or okay I didn't have this, or okay,

608
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 5: my accounting this or whatever, and they work it out

609
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 5: and Hunter has paid his due. And listen, as a

610
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 5: criminal defense attorney, I got a lot of parents that

611
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 5: would be in jail right now if they was getting

612
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 5: caught up for what their kids did. So I'm not

613
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 5: saying that Hunter is guilty or not guilty. What I

614
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 5: am saying is that he's presumed innocent undeal right.

615
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: So that's that part.

616
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 5: But that's his son, right, So like, how is it

617
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 5: that his son who he did not put into position?

618
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 5: Unlike Trump, he took his whole family and was like

619
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 5: y'all gone and come into the administration. We know that

620
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 5: his son in law did not have the ability to

621
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: get a top security clearance. I don't know why or

622
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 5: what was in his background that prevented him, and Trump

623
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 5: overrode that.

624
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 4: That was a national security threat in and of itself.

625
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 5: And even as we talk about again these conflicts that

626
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 5: currently exist, we know that this dude was keeping this

627
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 5: stuff in his bathroom at Marie Lago and on the

628
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 5: stage and all this other kind of stuff.

629
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: He did.

630
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: He did have them right, But what happened when they

631
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: asked for him back, he gave him up.

632
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: And in fact, I know people do that argument, and

633
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: he gave him back, but he still took him from

634
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: where he took. No.

635
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 5: No, and I don't I don't disagree with that, but

636
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 5: a lot of people take things home a senator.

637
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: Ye.

638
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 5: No, the and the stuff that you're gonna have as

639
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 5: a senator is not gonna be the same stuff that

640
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: you're gonna have as a president.

641
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 4: That's the other thing. Like the level is like there's

642
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 4: levels to this.

643
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 5: So the things that he's gonna have as a senator

644
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 5: are not gonna be the same level.

645
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: But the reality is that people do take stuff home.

646
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 5: Now, I try to leave everything at you know, work,

647
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 5: and most of the time I don't get anything that's

648
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 5: that's sensitive. Anyway, when we go in and we're giving briefings,

649
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 5: they're like, we're taking your phones, we're taking your head.

650
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 4: Sets, were taken everything, we're taking your watch.

651
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: We go win for those security briefings and we're not

652
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 5: supposed to talk about exactly what happens in those briefings,

653
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 5: so there's very little that we're given on paper. But

654
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 5: as a president, you definitely are given so much more so.

655
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 5: Number one, the level of secrecy and harm that could

656
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 5: be caused by what Biden had, which was from when

657
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 5: he was in the Senate as well as when he

658
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 5: was vice president, completely different level than the access that

659
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 5: you have as a president. In addition to that, we

660
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: know that Trump was walking up out the White House

661
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: and literally was like, I'm taking my documents with me,

662
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 5: like this was a very intentional taking afterwards versus an

663
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 5: unintentional taking. And it's the same thing that we do

664
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 5: with anything else in law. We look at the intent

665
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 5: of something the men's rea. We look at was this

666
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 5: intentionally and normally? Was this reckless? Or was this careless

667
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: and negligent? Those are the standards. What Trump did was

668
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: very intentional. What Biden did was very unintentional. And the

669
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 5: way Another thing that we know is that when somebody said, yo,

670
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 5: we think you got some documents, Biden said, listen, go in,

671
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 5: look for whatever y'all want to look for, and take it.

672
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 5: What Trump did he said, now cut the cameras, make

673
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 5: sure you delete the footage. Like he was absolutely trying

674
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 5: to hoard it and hide it, and he was going

675
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 5: out and he was bragging, and he was showing these

676
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 5: secret documents to people, and literally it put us in.

677
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 4: Harm's way as well as some of our allies.

678
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 5: I still have questions about who he'shod showed what too,

679
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 5: and whether or not some of the conflicts that we

680
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 5: see that exists right now are a result of his mishandling.

681
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 4: That is very unnerving to me.

682
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 5: And what people don't understand is that there are conflicts

683
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 5: that are taking place in places like Africa. We've got

684
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 5: conflicts in Sudan. We've got people that have forgotten what

685
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 5: happened with the Haitians. And when the Haitians were trying

686
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: to come in as migrants, it was my governor that

687
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 5: had officers on horses that were whipping them and acting

688
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 5: like you know, this was slavery yet again. But people

689
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,239
Speaker 5: don't say, well, why were the Haitians trying to get

690
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 5: up here? They forget that the president had been murdered,

691
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 5: right and so like. But you know, I don't know

692
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 5: how many people was trying to stand with the Haitians,

693
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 5: which I feel a way about right, and I don't

694
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 5: know how many people are really trying to stand with

695
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 5: the Sudanese people and and all that.

696
00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: So so now you you can say nothing, It's okay.

697
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: He it's okay to say nothing. They didn't do anything, nothing,

698
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: it's okay. Yeah. Do you think Hunter Biden being indicted

699
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: on the non new tax charges is political?

700
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Absolutely.

701
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: I mean he's already listen, we know that he already

702
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: had indictments that he was facing for basically the same thing.

703
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 5: And what we typically do if I put on my

704
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 5: legal hat is you work out a deal. You work

705
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 5: out a deal and you say, listen, we will do

706
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 5: X y Z in exchange for this, and it cleans

707
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 5: everything up. I never work a deal where I'm only

708
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 5: gonna resolve one issue. I work it all out, because

709
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 5: who wants to keep having to go back and back

710
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 5: and back or whatever.

711
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 4: Now granted, it was.

712
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 5: The judge that blew the deal up, which judges can

713
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 5: always decide if they're going to accept or reject. But

714
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 5: I think it's the little disingenuous of the DOJ in

715
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 5: general to say, all right, well.

716
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 4: It's a free for all. Now you know what I mean.

717
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 5: This isn't you know, like George Santo's right, like for instance,

718
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 5: this it was like, no, I ain't taking your deal.

719
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: Right.

720
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 4: He had nine counts.

721
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 5: So the AUSA comes back and was like, Okay, if

722
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 5: we're gonna have to try it, then we're gonna try it.

723
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 5: Bro right, So superseding indictment. Now you got twenty three

724
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 5: twenty three counts. This wasn't that type of situation. You

725
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 5: had someone who said, I am accepting responsibility, I am

726
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 5: willing to do what needs to be done to fulfill

727
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 5: the requirements and moving on. So I think that, you know,

728
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 5: it's a little different, and I do think that it's politics,

729
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 5: but you know, this is what we this is the

730
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 5: world were living in.

731
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: It's an election cycles.

732
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: Them talking about impeaching Biden is definitely politics. Oh my god,

733
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: they've said that. I forgot what you guys said it.

734
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: But he literally said I'm doing this to be able

735
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: to give President Trump or when they bring up is

736
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: impeachments and see, I believe the problem is they normalize

737
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: so much of Trump's criminal behavior that when they finally

738
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: decided to take some action, it all looks political. So

739
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: every thing looks politically look like I mean all, but

740
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying all of it like we know what it is.

741
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: We know why Republicans are talking about impeaching body, we

742
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: know why Hunter Biden got indicted. And on the flip side,

743
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: when the people that are actually committing the crimes, when

744
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: things happen to them, it all looks like a tit

745
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: for tack. So we the American people, don't know what's

746
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: what and who's who. So you can't tell me this

747
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: person is a criminal when this person is getting charged

748
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: to You can't tell me this person is a bad

749
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: guy for getting impeached when they're talking about impeaching them too,

750
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: because all I hear is the wording yeah yeah.

751
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 5: Because what they're trying to do is they are trying

752
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 5: to act as if they're the same, and they're not.

753
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: They're not. There's a huge difference.

754
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: But they look the same to the American people.

755
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 4: They do look the same.

756
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 5: But like, what I need people to remember is I

757
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 5: remember very vividly when Trump said he could go and

758
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 5: shoot somebody in broad daylight and get away with it.

759
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 5: That's what he said, and essentially that's what he's been doing.

760
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 5: He been shooting his shot all over this country acting

761
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 5: a fool and basically dare people to come for him.

762
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: And guess what. It took a lot of black folk

763
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 4: and they made right.

764
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 5: Three out of four of the prosecutors that are going

765
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 5: after Trump are black. There are other prosecutors in this

766
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 5: country that could be going for his neck as well.

767
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 5: We just saw some fake electors in another state that

768
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 5: ended up entering into an agreement with the prosecution. Those

769
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 5: fake electors were a part of a larger scheme. They

770
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 5: didn't go after Trump though. It's like not going after

771
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 5: the dope dealer, but instead going after the dude that's

772
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 5: on the corner.

773
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: Like this needs to stop.

774
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: And so it took a black woman in Georgia, It

775
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 5: took a black woman in New York. It took a

776
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 5: black man in New York to say enough is enough,

777
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 5: because they ain't never questioned coming for us, but now

778
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 5: it's like we want to tiptoe around. In fact, he

779
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 5: should be in jail right now. I don't care what

780
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 5: nobody say, but anybody who's ever dealt with the criminal

781
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 5: justice system or even any legal system, knows that there

782
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 5: is a decorum in court. There's certain things that you

783
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 5: can't do. You can't be out here threatening the judge.

784
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 5: No one would dare to do that, right because you

785
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 5: already know you were going to be locked up.

786
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: But they don't never do it.

787
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

788
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: You're saying it is absolutely true.

789
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 4: I get it, but but there's no action.

790
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 5: But guess guess who's gonna do it if it happens,

791
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 5: If if he goes to jail for contempt of court

792
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 5: or violating a gag order, It's gonna be the black

793
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 5: woman in DC because everybody else is like, WHOA right,

794
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 5: It's gonna be the black woman in DC.

795
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: And when he becomes if he becomes president, which I

796
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: pray he doesn't.

797
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 4: I pray he doesn't either, Guess.

798
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Who's going to prison all those black women? You just

799
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: need you notice though, I mean, I'm saying, but it's

800
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: really that, it's really that serious. He's already said it.

801
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: He's told you what he's going to do to his

802
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: critics and his political opponent. He has.

803
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna keep the faith and I'm I'm a

804
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 5: hope and pray on that one.

805
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: You think with George Santos, you think the congresshould have

806
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: came before the court in that situation.

807
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 5: I think that we did what was right for sure,

808
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 5: I absolutely do, because here's the deal with What people

809
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 5: don't understand is that we have our own systems in

810
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 5: place as well, and so we have our system, you

811
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 5: don't necessarily have to be facing criminal charges to go

812
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 5: before ethics and for ethics to deliver an opinion and

813
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 5: to do an investigation. George Santos refused to resign. We've

814
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 5: had people historically resign for way less. But he decided, no,

815
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 5: who gonna check me boo, like y'all gonna have to

816
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: kick me out. And I don't know if this was

817
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 5: about him getting an unemployment check, because y'all know that

818
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 5: was part of his issue, was the unemployment fraud. And

819
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 5: so I guess he say, listen, y'all gonna see me

820
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 5: fired publicly.

821
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 4: And so I can collect my chick. I don't know.

822
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 5: I don't know what his thought process was, but it's

823
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 5: I do think that the right thing was done. Because

824
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 5: he was accused of things that were associated with him

825
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 5: being in office, they were associated with him seeking office,

826
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 5: and they conducted their own investigation. He was given an

827
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 5: opportunity to defend himself. He failed to participate that is

828
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 5: due process. Due process doesn't necessarily have to be a

829
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 5: criminal trial, because due process is simply that I am.

830
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: Making an allegation.

831
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 5: It can be a civil allegation, but you have to

832
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 5: be given an opportunity to defend yourself. He was given

833
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 5: that opportunity. They had thousands upon thousands of pages of

834
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 5: evidence against him, and they came to a conclusion in

835
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 5: a bipartisan way of the facts in that case, and

836
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 5: they were absolutely egregious and he shouldn't be serving.

837
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna set a bad president because now

838
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: you see Vetter Maern coming after Menindez, and you see

839
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: they just sensor Jamal Bowman, And you think that's going

840
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 1: to set a president to where.

841
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 5: Well they I mean, now they didn't censored and censured

842
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 5: and censored to They didn't water down what a censor's

843
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: supposed to be.

844
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 4: For sure.

845
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think that it sets a bad

846
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 5: precedent because I don't know that we will ever have

847
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 5: another person in Congress that will be half as egregious as.

848
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: George Santos, especially in the Republican Party.

849
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 5: As far as like who they are as people, yes,

850
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 5: but as far as committing crimes that are specifically associated

851
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 5: with them being in office.

852
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 4: No, And that's the thing.

853
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 5: Like representation looks like electing the person that you feel

854
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 5: like represents you. Unfortunately, Georgia feels like Marjorie Taylor Green.

855
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 4: Is a good representation of them.

856
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 5: They feel like Matt Gates. Now there is a rumor

857
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 5: that they are really trying to work through the Matt

858
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 5: Gates stuff because they're still very upset with him. I

859
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 5: don't know what they're gonna do with that, but you know,

860
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 5: he was facing some very serious allegations. They weren't necessarily

861
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 5: tied to his office, but you know, rapist kind of

862
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 5: a big deal. And so you know, ultimately they decided

863
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 5: not to move forward with criminal charges for the out

864
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 5: sexual rape allegations that he had against him.

865
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, because you've had you got both presidential

866
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: candidates who got accusations do well. But I'm what I'm saying, candidates,

867
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: we got a president who has accusations and a candidate

868
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: Trump who has accusation.

869
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 5: So but the difference with Matt Gates, That's what I'm saying.

870
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 5: So Matt Gates, ultimately they decided no criminal charges. So

871
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 5: I think that they'll be in a weird space depending

872
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 5: on what they have, Like I don't know what they have.

873
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 5: It's kind of like the January sixth Commission, like they

874
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 5: were unable they were able to find out a lot

875
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 5: of things that weren't not.

876
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if Trump would be facing.

877
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 5: His criminal charges but for January six right, So I

878
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 5: don't know if ethics has received additional information or something

879
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 5: like that. And it still may end up causing an

880
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 5: issue for Matt Gates down the line, but Matt Gates

881
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 5: is still there, so I mean, I think that the

882
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 5: President's is still in place because he does have the allegations,

883
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 5: but he's not been brought up to be kicked out

884
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 5: by Democrats or Republicans. No one has tried to censor him,

885
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 5: no one has tried to expel him, and I don't

886
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 5: anticipate that anything would happen unlessen until there actually was

887
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 5: an investigation where he was given an opportunity again to

888
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 5: defend himself. And I think again for Santos, it was

889
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 5: the fact that he literally, I mean, he had one

890
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 5: of his colleagues go off because he had ran his

891
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 5: credit card up for ten thousand dollars. So one of

892
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 5: his own Republican colleagues, was like, bro, like you did

893
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 5: it to me? Like so yeah, like it was very personal,

894
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 5: like I gave you my credit card information because I

895
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 5: was supporting your candidacy and you ran it up going

896
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 5: to I don't know what he Yeah, I'm assuming that's

897
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 5: where he went on that one.

898
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

899
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: I got two more questions, and I think the Democratic

900
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: Party is making the same mistake with Biden that they

901
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: made with RBG.

902
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 5: Ooh, that is a very interesting way to phrase it. Listen,

903
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 5: I'm ride with Biden. That's we have no other option.

904
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 5: We have no other option.

905
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: I mean, would you be riding with Biden? How would

906
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: you be calling for Biden this episode?

907
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be calling for him this episode only because literally,

908
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 5: this guy has a great track record. Again, who's looking

909
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 5: at fixing the water and Flint?

910
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: Can he win? I agree with you, the track record

911
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: is dead. But can he win? Can he win next

912
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: year in a general election? Can Biden and hire Us win?

913
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: Are they still a winnable ticket?

914
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 4: I think they are. I think they are. I think that.

915
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 5: We got a lot of work to do, and I

916
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 5: think that, you know, we tripping if we feel like

917
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 5: we got this thing in the bag. I don't think

918
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 5: we should ever underestimate the power of Trump and his cult.

919
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 5: We should never do that, right, And I also think

920
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 5: that it's important for people that if historically felt like

921
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 5: they were left out, ignored, or just taken for granted.

922
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 5: I think it's important that we have the conversations with

923
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 5: those communities and tell them that no, no, no, no, we

924
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 5: are fighting for you. Like I just said, most people

925
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 5: don't know six dollars a day and the Republicans trying

926
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 5: to snatch it, you know what I'm saying, Like no,

927
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 5: like we can do this, Like don't do this to us, right,

928
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 5: like or the fact that you want to make sure

929
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 5: that housing vouchers aren't available when we're dealing with a

930
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 5: housing crisis in this entire country.

931
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 4: Like, no, we are trying to fight for these things.

932
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 5: And listen, if you let them empower, you may not

933
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 5: have a roof over your head for show. You may

934
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 5: not have food in your belly for show. So like,

935
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 5: we are fighting for these things and it is a

936
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 5: team effort. I think that what we do is we

937
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 5: give too much power to the president. The president isn't

938
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 5: a king. That's not what we have in this country.

939
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 5: It takes an entire team. So I need people to

940
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 5: understand that they need to research who is running for

941
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 5: the state House so you don't end up with the

942
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 5: George Santos because that was a democratically healthy and a

943
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 5: Democrat needs to take it back. So like, I need

944
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 5: people to say, yes, we've got the president and the

945
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 5: vice president, but they can't get nothing done by themselves.

946
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 5: They still need a Senate that's gonna work with them.

947
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 5: They still need a House that's gonna work with them.

948
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 5: And so we put so much focus on the president

949
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 5: as if he is the one person that can do

950
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 5: at all, and that's just not what it is. I

951
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 5: need people to start putting some pressure on these members

952
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 5: that are sitting in the US House as well as

953
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 5: the US Senate and making sure that they're researching them

954
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 5: and they're voting for the right candidates so that we

955
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 5: can get the right team. Because last time we had

956
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 5: the House, we had the Senate, and we had the

957
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 5: White House. Everybody's like, why didn't y'all caught afi Row

958
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 5: like that. That's been like a major blast, right.

959
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: Because y'all had it was the Senate.

960
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 4: The Senate was the problem.

961
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: But it was to y'all people constantly holding stuff up

962
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: in the Senate, Jo Cinema, and now nobody flexed on

963
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: either one of them. Donald Trump I'm talking about Donald

964
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: Trump would have had a nickname for both of them.

965
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump would have been calling them out. Donaldrum would

966
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: have been putting pressure on them. Yeah.

967
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: But but but look at this.

968
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 5: Cinema decided let me go in and not even try

969
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 5: to pretend I'm a Democrat.

970
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: No more.

971
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 5: Right, So Cinema is not running as a Democrat. Her

972
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 5: polling is trashed, and so one of my Democratic House

973
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 5: colleagues is running against her, Ruben Diego. He about to

974
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 5: smash her like that. That is the plan. He's gonna

975
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 5: hopefully take that seat. So now we got one. Joe

976
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 5: Manchin what he decided to do.

977
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: Never mind, guess when he runs for president. I don't

978
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: want to hear nobody that's a Democrat talk shit about him,

979
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: because y'all didn't talk shit about him.

980
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 4: I did, so you said nobody, right, I'm sorry.

981
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: But I don't want to Everybody was tiptoeing around Joe

982
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: for the most part, wouldn't call him out when he

983
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: was blocking every single agenda in the Biden administration. But

984
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: when he runs for president. Everybody gonnary demon, I'm not

985
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: gonna hear back. Guy, don't do that.

986
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 4: Now, Well, I'm gonna be consistent. I'm gonna hear him out.
