That's the phrase I 43 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: came up with myself. Originally, she saw that for me 44 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: to see Angelus is all the time and to finally 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: see our work, the fruits of our labor come together 46 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: at this moment. A lot of people, I don't think 47 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: necessarily understands the role of the Speaker of the House, 48 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: because that is a title that you are about to assume. 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: Because we speak things into existence on this podcast. What 50 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: is the role of the House Speaker? 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'll say that it's been an honor 52 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 4: to stand on the shoulders of Nancy Pelosi, Senny Hory 53 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: and Jim Cliveburn, you know who were legendary leaders. Of course, 54 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the United States House 55 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: of Representatives, she'll go down in history, we believe is 56 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 4: the greatest speaker of all time, along with you know 57 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: Stenny who did his thing, and of course the great 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: legendary Jim Clyburn, and they all collectively actually made the 59 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 4: decision to pass the torch to the next generation of 60 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 4: Democrats in the House last year, and as a result, 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 4: Petere Aguilar, Catherine Clark, and myself now is House Democratic leader. 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 4: The role of Speaker of course done incredibly well, you 63 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 4: know by Nancy Pelosi really is a constitutional officer in 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 4: the House of Representatives who presides over the House, determines 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: the agenda, make sure that legislation moves through the House 66 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 4: actually can get out of the House and hopefully make 67 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: it through the Senate and become law. And also, depending 68 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 4: on which party the Speaker is a member of at 69 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 4: that given point in time, is also responsible for making 70 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: sure politically, you know, things go right and that you're 71 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 4: interacting with the other branches of government, you know, particularly 72 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 4: the President, the Vice President, as well as the Senate. 73 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: I just want to give a quick shout out before 74 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: I toss it to Andrew.

I mean the fact that you all have 88 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 5: held on some of the votes that have come been 89 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 5: put to the floor, that you have in many ways 90 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 5: performed as the Speaker of the House and delivering very 91 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 5: key legislation that could have otherwise been off the table 92 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 5: or otherwise undermined. 93 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 2: More effective than the active more effective. 94 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 3: Because he delivers. 95 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 5: I just got to ask a lot of folks around 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 5: the country are nervous around the kinds of tactics that 97 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 5: may be taken to either uncertify, not certify, put spoke, 98 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 5: you know, obstructions in the wheel in order to delay 99 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 5: the Congress's ability to do what is your ceremonial but 100 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 5: also constitutional responsibility to count the votes, the Electoral College votes, 101 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 5: so on and so forth, and certify the presidency. Please 102 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 5: tell us that there are scenario planning, there is there 103 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 5: are stop gaps in the way fell safes that can 104 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 5: ensure that if we are out here encouraging people to 105 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 5: go vote, they do their job, that when it comes 106 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 5: to you all that we can rely on some protection 107 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 5: that this election will not be stolen, will not be 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 5: undermined by the other side, but that people can have 109 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 5: some relative reliability on our democracy. 110 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 4: Well, Andrew, great to see you, Thank you for your 111 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 4: public service. It is a very important question. I think 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 4: the good news is, first of all, we got to 113 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 4: make sure all the reasons that you articulated all of 114 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 4: the uncertainty, because whoever holds the gavels, whoever is in 115 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: the majority on January sixth, which is the date set 116 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 4: forth in the Constitution to certify the election. 117 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: The new Congress is sworn in. 118 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 4: On January third, meaning whoever is in the majority as 119 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: a result of the November election will have the ability 120 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 4: to decide whether to certify or not. And there's an 121 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 4: open question if the Republicans continue to hold the majority 122 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 4: because so many of their members are election deniers and 123 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 4: have chosen simply to bend the need to Donald Trump, 124 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 4: who has already trying to lay the groundwork to claim 125 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: falsely if he loses or when he loses, that the 126 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 4: election was stolen. 127 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: So we got to take back the House. That's important. 128 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: But we actually did act legislatively and passed a bill 129 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 4: called the Electoral Reform count Act in two thousand and 130 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: twenty two. That did two important things. One, it made 131 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: clear that the vice president's role is only ceremonial important. Now, 132 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 4: the good news is, in this particular situation, of course, 133 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 4: the vice president is Kamala Harris. But for future elections, 134 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: we've made it clear that no one can do what 135 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 4: Donald Trump tried to do in bullying Mike Pence to 136 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 4: unilaterally declare the election invalid and toss the electoral votes 137 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 4: over to him. But perhaps the second, yet most important 138 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: part of that legislation is it used to be the 139 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 4: case that it only took one member out of all 140 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 4: four hundred and thirty five to object to the election 141 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 4: in the House and one member out of one hundred 142 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 4: to object in the Senate. 143 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: That's all that was required. 144 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 4: And then you can create this whole scenario where shenanigans 145 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 4: and games can be played. And that's what was set 146 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: in motion on January sixth of twenty twenty one. We 147 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 4: changed that so now it requires at least twenty percent 148 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 4: of the House and twenty percent of the Senate, so 149 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 4: that means at least a little over eighty members. 150 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: Have to object. 151 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 4: Now, you know, on the other side of the out 152 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: you might be able to get to that number in 153 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 4: the House, but we don't think you can get to 154 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: that number in the Senate because there still are enough 155 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 4: traditional Republicans, but we don't believe will go along with 156 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's shenanigans to try to undermine the results. And 157 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 4: so this is an example of legislation actually being advanced 158 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 4: in response to a crisis that puts us in a 159 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 4: much stronger position. 160 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 5: Well, the best feel safe, y'all if you didn't catch 161 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 5: it at the beginning of the answer is to put 162 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 5: Democrats can chargemcial. 163 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: You know the other thing that I think is really 164 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: important about the role of the speaker. You talk about 165 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party being a big tent party all the time, 166 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 2: so your job is not going to be very easy. 167 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: You have people across the ideological spectrum. You know that 168 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: and have experienced that as the Democratic leader as well. 169 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: Talk about some of the things that you will have 170 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: to do to get people on the same page and 171 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: some of the big picture ideas you have in that role. 172 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna use as a personal example. He is my 173 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: leader too, and I texted him when I. 174 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 3: Was like, what did everybody got it? 175 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 2: Indors come he knows it and he was like, let 176 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: me be leader for a day. I was like, bye, 177 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: I was spouting I was, it. 178 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: Was but I but I. 179 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: Think that it's important because you're going to deal with 180 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: people who are throwing tantrums. 181 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 3: I'm one of them sometimes, and you're. 182 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: Gonna be dealing with folks who are like, I know 183 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: the best way, How can follow me? How do you 184 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: bring everybody together? 185 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? No, it's a great question. 186 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 4: And you know, I think one we've adopted a philosophy 187 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 4: and approach and this is something that I learned from 188 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 4: Jim Clyburn that unity is different than unanimity. 189 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: Wow. 190 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 4: And the House Democratic Caucus represents the gorgeous mosaic of 191 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 4: the American people with the closest institution to the American 192 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 4: people by design. And on the House Democratic Caucus side, 193 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 4: we have, you know, incredible diversity across every possible measure. 194 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: But that means with people who have different life experiences, 195 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 4: different perspectives, different constituencies, they may take a different view 196 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 4: on a given issue or two. But we're not expecting unanimity. 197 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 4: We are, however, expecting unity, which means that we're united 198 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 4: around these principles of fighting for justice, fighting for freedom, 199 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 4: putting people over politics, and we can have our family discussions, 200 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 4: which we often do. Sometimes they're exuberant. We prefer them 201 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 4: to be private, not public. But once we get through 202 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: those family discussions, we find the highest common denominator. And 203 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 4: this is what we've done throughout the entire Congress in 204 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 4: order to get to the best possible result for the 205 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 4: American people. Now, there will always be some folks who 206 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 4: will say, well, you didn't go far enough. And our 207 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 4: general view, learning from our civil rights legends right who 208 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 4: went through a similar process as they were working through 209 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 4: the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and the 210 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: Fair Housing Act, that sometimes you just have to live 211 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: to fight another day. But we're all united in terms 212 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: of where we want to go. 213 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 5: Not make the perfect the enemy of the good, which 214 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 5: often times too often happens the speaker to be. We 215 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 5: know that your time is extremely valuable. I just got 216 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 5: to throw you some crazy love over his oratory. Yes, 217 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 5: I mean I've been moved on occasion where this stuff 218 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 5: should be for process. Yes, and I keep getting Uh. 219 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 5: The Congressman gets up and begins to speak, and he 220 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 5: evokes history, and he evokes emotion, and he connects and 221 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 5: weaves together such an incredibly diverse set of experiences of 222 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 5: the American people to bring all of us into investment 223 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 5: and whatever it is that they're attempting to do, it's 224 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 5: it is. It is a power, yes, but more than anything, 225 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 5: it is a blessing. And I'm so glad that you've 226 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 5: been imbued with it because I think it's an essential 227 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 5: part of what allows you to be the kind of 228 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 5: successful speaker that I think you've already shown yourself to 229 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 5: be by. 230 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: Here a little hip hop every now. 231 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: That's why My quick favorite quote from the Congressman is 232 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: during the impeachment hearings and a Republican member said, I 233 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: just don't know why we're here, and the Congressman stood 234 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: up and answered him and listed innumerable reasons why we 235 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: were here and laid out beautifully are you case And 236 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: at the end he said, so if you don't know, 237 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: Brooklyn is always in the house.
