1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Affirmative Action ruling. This is something

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: that we recovered a few weeks ago, and you mentioned it.

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: So how will this how will that ruling? In your opinion,

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: what's the potential impacts on the education and employment opportunities

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: for every every American. And why why is that ruling

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: so important?

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: So for a couple of reasons. So the the the

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 4: most prestigious institutions in our country no longer have to

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 4: take race into account as it relates to applicants coming

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: into their schools. And because of that, those institutions are

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: going to continue to be They're already super white, but

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: they're going to continue to be even more disproportionately white.

29
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: So what that does. These prestigious institutions are the beacons

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: of power in our country, not just from an education perspective,

31
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: but from an economic and political perspective. So we are

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 4: going to have brilliant black and Latino students across the

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 4: country who will no longer have access to these institutions

34
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: because of this recent ruling. So they will no longer

35
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: have access to the power centers of America. We have

36
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: a bill, my office has a bill that we're reintroducing

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 4: this week that says, Okay, you want to end affirmative action,

38
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: you need to end legacy admissions at these institutions as well,

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: because legacy admissions disproportionally benefit white people. White men. In particular,

40
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: seventy percent of those who benefit from legacy admissions are

41
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: white people, white wealthy people. But the Supreme Court didn't

42
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 4: deal with that. Because the Supreme Court is illegitimate because

43
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: it takes gifts from billionaire donors who support legacy admissions

44
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: in the higher education space.

45
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: So when you say the Supreme Court illegitimate, it's interesting

46
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: you shouldn't work.

47
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: There is no way to hold the Supreme Court accountable

48
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: for unethical behavior. There's also no way to hold the

49
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: Supreme Court accountable when it takes on a case that

50
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: isn't within this jurisdiction, like the student loan case, because

51
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: the case does not the person bringing the case is

52
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: not harmed by the lawsuitent in which they're pursuing. There's

53
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: no way for us as Congress to hold the Supreme

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 4: Court accountable. So when it takes gifts from billionaire donors,

55
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: it has now become a political body where supposed to

56
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: be a body. It's supposed to be a body that

57
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: acts outside of the political arena. It's also not supposed

58
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: to be a party that a body that makes policy,

59
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: which is what it has done with not just this

60
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: recent student loan decision, but also epa decision. Let me

61
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: also mention what you what it means for the economics

62
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: and jobs in our communities. There are many companies that

63
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: were moving more towards UH diversity, equity and inclusion and

64
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 4: minority hiring and understanding the benefits of that. Now those

65
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 4: companies do not have to do that anymore, right and

66
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 4: will not even look in that direction, so they will

67
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: be least likely to hire African American latinos in certain companies.

68
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: The last thing I say about this is this, this

69
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: is why our own self determination and building our own

70
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 4: collective wealth and our own sovereignty matters so much. Because

71
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: what we're going to see now hopefully is arise and

72
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: kids going to HBCUs. But what we also what I

73
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: also want to see, and I've talked a little bit

74
00:04:53,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: more about this is black enterprise growing exponentially across this

75
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: country to hire more Black people and develop more workforce

76
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 4: development programs into black institutions to help us build historic

77
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: black wealth. And there's a political aspect to that as well.

78
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: Can I just do so what kind of gift through

79
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court get you said, like they get gifts from.

80
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 4: Yes, So, Clarence Thomas had a billionaire pay his child's

81
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 4: tuition into a private school. Clarence Thomas took strips on

82
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: yachts with Republican billionaire donors. This is documented, This is fact.

83
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: There were other gifts given to I believe Kavanaugh Roberts

84
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: as well that have been documented. And so once the

85
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: Supreme Court begins to take gifts, political gifts, they have

86
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 4: lost their legitimacy as a court. And add on top

87
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: of that, some of the decisions they they they made

88
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: recently supersede what Congress has codified into law. When you

89
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: just when you take away the Secretary of Education and

90
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: presence ability to cancel student loans as per federal law

91
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: that was passing two thousand and three, the Heroes Act,

92
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 4: then you are now making policy. If you're making policy,

93
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: you are no longer legitimate as a court. And that's

94
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 4: why there's so many in this country calling for Supreme

95
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: Court reform. And again, the only way to get that

96
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 4: is for every person to engage in our political process. Vote, vote, vote,

97
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: so we can hold people accountable and change the Court

98
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: and Congress.

99
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: That's a lot, there's a lot to unpack there.

100
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 5: Right when we talk about job creation and we talk

101
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 5: about the influx of potential students now going to HBCUs.

102
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: One of the things that we have to combat is

103
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: the technology that's going to be at those HBCUs. So

104
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: I want to know your thoughts on because we've seen

105
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 5: the reports about what AI is going to do to

106
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 5: the job economy, not just here domestically, but from a

107
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: global standpoint. So what is your thoughts on AI and

108
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 5: technology specifically for our community, but even at a collegial level,

109
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 5: what that looks like for students of color.

110
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: Well, I'm incredibly concerned because eighty percent of HBCUs are

111
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: broadband deserts, so the broadband in their colleges don't work

112
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: the same as the broadband in Harvard and mostly white institutions.

113
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: That's number one. Number two. You all are from Greenberg,

114
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: you know, in this district we also have Scarsdale and

115
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: Rye and very very wealthy communities. Those wealthy communities, in

116
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: terms of their school curriculums, they've been way ahead of

117
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: the game in comparison to certain schools and places like Greenberg,

118
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: Mount Vernon, the Bronx because of historic underfunding. That's also

119
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: a part of policy and federal law that's attributed to

120
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: the redlining of our communities. In many ways, we are

121
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: already behind the eight ball in terms of funding and

122
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: curriculum and resources and now AI. If we don't like

123
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: step up and do something right now, we will be

124
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: even further behind the eight ball. So I'm very concerned

125
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: about that government is not ready for this right now.

126
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: There are ten fellows in Congress who work in Congressional

127
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: offices focusing on the issue of AI. Ten there are

128
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: five hundred and thirty five members of Congress, so that

129
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: shows you just how behind we are. I'm lucky we

130
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: got one of those fellows, so we are you all

131
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: know I think you know. I sit on the Science,

132
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: Space and Tech Committee as well, so not just education

133
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: and workforce, so we are hyper focused on A.

134
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

135
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 5: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

136
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 5: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals

137
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 5: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,

138
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 5: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.

139
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: It might seem boring to safe plan and make calculated

140
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 5: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

141
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 5: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P

165
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

166
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador

167
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

168
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

169
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught. Because of President

170
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership and Christy Noman, the United States

171
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

172
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

173
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

174
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

175
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported. You will

176
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

177
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

178
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

179
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

180
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

181
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 4: GI and we're going to be coming out with legislation

182
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 4: to deal with the issue of AI because it's not

183
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: just the replacement of workers in certain fields. That is

184
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: an issue and that will happen, but we need to

185
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: make sure that certain workers are protected. Like writers in

186
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: the Writers Guild were striking right now, and AI is

187
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: one of the com stations as it relates to their

188
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: new contract. But it's also about using AI, understanding AI,

189
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: using it as a tool. We don't even know what's

190
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: on the back end of AI in terms of its

191
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 4: development and what biases are a part of that. So

192
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: we got to get in on the ground level to

193
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 4: understand how this technology works so we could build our

194
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: own technology and then build the wealth that comes with that.

195
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: So we use it as a tool, yes, absolutely understanding it,

196
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: but we also have to create the new technology in

197
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: order to build the wealth we need to build and

198
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 4: their lasting. We still don't have comprehensive legislation when it

199
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 4: comes to technology, social media, safety, security, privacy, none of that.

200
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: We don't have that at a federal level because Zuckerberg

201
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: and others have been lobbying to stay away from that

202
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: because a lot of their wealth is built on their

203
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 4: advertising dollars that they get because there's no legislation, so

204
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: it's mad work to do there. And that's why we're

205
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: pushing a lot of STEM education into the K twelve

206
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 4: space and doing a lot of workforce outside the KFEL

207
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: space so that people are aware of, you know, what's

208
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: there and can get in on the ground floor in

209
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: terms of jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities.

210
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: I'm not stating that it's right for I don't think

211
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 6: Clarence should be taking vacations or being on yachts with billionaires.

212
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 6: But what's the difference between lobbying and them receiving an

213
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 6: inducement or gifts to put a policy in place.

214
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: I mean, they're not an elected body, right, So the

215
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 4: Supreme Court, they're unelected, they're appointed. They're appointed by the

216
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 4: president who's elected. And the Supreme Court's role is to

217
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: interpret the Constitution and hear arguments and cases in situations

218
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 4: where the Constitution may have been violated. That is all

219
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: they're there for. They are part of a system of

220
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: checks and balances. Lobbying, especially when we're talking about big

221
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: money lobbying that moves us away from a democracy and

222
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: moves us into a space of a dictatorship in fascism.

223
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: So there was another Supreme Court case decided a few

224
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: years back called Citizens United that determined that corporations are

225
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: people and money is free speech. And when you have

226
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: dynamic in play when it comes to our democracy, think

227
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: about it. How many black billionaires are there if you

228
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: combine them, Jeff Bezos alone got way more money than them,

229
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 4: like way more so when you talk about the history

230
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 4: of wealth inequality, if we allow wealth to dictate politics

231
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 4: through lobbying, then those who have always had wealth and

232
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: power will continue to have wealth and power. And the

233
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 4: wealth and power was built on the backs of enslaved Africans.

234
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: And so that's why we got to get big money

235
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 4: out of politics overall, but particularly as it relates to

236
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. I mean, look at the last few

237
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: years decisions alone. I mean, they made a decision that

238
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 4: makes it easier to carry concealed weapons in states like

239
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 4: New York. And we know the data shows that the

240
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: more concealed carry permits you have, the more accidents happen

241
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: related to gun balance, and the more gun depths you

242
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 4: have overall, So big money in politics is a is

243
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: a major major issue. The good thing is when we

244
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: talk about black wealth is grown a lot recently, and

245
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: if it is consolidated and qualified, we can exercise real

246
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 4: power in politics from a congressional level all the way

247
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: down to local school boards.

248
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Supreme Court is extremely disturbing because you said

249
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: that they're supposed to be above politics, so you can.

250
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: Not political and just really real quick points on that,

251
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: we can't hold them accountable ethically, so we need ethics

252
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: reform on the Supreme Court. They have lifetime appointments, so

253
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: like whoever Trump appointed three people, they'll be there for

254
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: the rest of their lives. That's unacceptable. And then look

255
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: at the size of the Supreme Court nine members. They've

256
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: been nine members since eighteen sixty nine. There's thirty million

257
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: people there countries three hundred million people now three hundred

258
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: and thirty million people. They don't even have the capacity

259
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: to hear cases in the way they need to hear cases.

260
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: And so there needs to be complete Supreme Court reform,

261
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: just like there needs to be complete democracy reform with

262
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 4: the filibuster and electoral college and many other things. I mean,

263
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: we're more diverse, dynamic country than we've ever been, and

264
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 4: that's why we got to change a lot of these things.

265
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 5: Guys have a follow up just to that, and then

266
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: I'm trying to take this question because I wonder if

267
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 5: there was legislation that was put in place behind that. Right,

268
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 5: when we look at all of our elected officials, they

269
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 5: all have terms, whether it's a mayor, it's the governor,

270
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 5: it's a congressman, it's the president design outside of the

271
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: Supreme Court, congressmen don't have terms.

272
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 4: Well, we're got to run every two years, but they could.

273
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 5: Congressmen, I'm saying that they have to be re elected

274
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 5: every and that's for anything. They could lose their job, right, Like,

275
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 5: the only way, yeah, the only way the Supreme Court

276
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: can lose their job is if they pass away. So

277
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 5: what type of support do you think would be behind

278
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 5: legislation like that that puts terms on Supreme Court and

279
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 5: increasing the number.

280
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: A lot like So, there's a huge disconnect between the

281
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 4: people and members of Congress. Members of Congress are trying

282
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 4: to maintain the status quo. And the status quo is

283
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 4: corporate power, white wealthy male power, evangelical power, and the

284
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: power of many lobbies like fossil fuels and pharmaceuticals and

285
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: other lobbies they want to maintain that power. The people

286
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: want democracy, reform, and they want justice. The people can't

287
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 4: understand why every time there's a mass shooting with assault

288
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 4: rifles and then we in Congress don't do anything about that,

289
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 4: the people are like, what the what the hell is

290
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 4: going on? They become disenchanted. Congress ain't doing shit. So

291
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna stay home and not vote. And

292
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 4: what I've been saying everywhere I go, I'm gonna give

293
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 4: you just a couple of quick examples. Florida, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Mississippi, Indiana.

294
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: Who am I missing? Few other states big Senate races

295
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: this year. The biggest issue in those states, the all

296
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: Republican states is voter turnout. Yeah, we increase turnout in

297
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 4: those states and suppression and suppression right both. If we

298
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 4: can increase turnout in those states, those states go from

299
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 4: red to blue. And again, Democrats ain't perfect. But if

300
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: we had a supermajority in the Senate, you would see

301
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: George for justice and policing. You would see on voting rights,

302
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 4: you see something on reparation, you will see something of

303
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 4: so many issues. Because now Senate majority leaders don't have

304
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 4: no excuse right, The excuse now is, oh, we don't

305
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 4: got the numbers. We got the filibuster. We don't want

306
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 4: to go around to Philibusta. If we increase the numbers.

307
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 4: Now we got to go around to Philibusta. But that

308
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 4: don't happen if we don't increase voters turn out. And

309
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 4: that's why I like next year is huge for this,

310
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 4: it's huge.
