Speaker 1: Native Land Pod is the production of iHeartRadio and partnership

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: with Reisent Choice Media.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 3: Welcome home.

5
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Y'all to episode sixty two of Native Land Time. Let

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: me break it down and give you all things related

7
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: to news and culture through a very unique lens. And

8
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: I have to say, it's a very busy, busy news week.

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: So we're going to jump right into it because we

10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: have a lot to get to. So, Angela, what's on

11
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: your plate this week?

12
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 4: Well, we've been talking about the fires and the many

13
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 4: ways in which fires impact folks. And speaking of fires,

14
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: we know that there was one over one hundred years

15
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 4: ago in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We know that area is black

16
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 4: Wall Street and the DJ had something to say about that.

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: So I want to talk about that and all of

18
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 4: the other things that DJ gets wrong.

19
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: I got a lot of questions for you on that one, Andrew,

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: what you got?

21
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 5: Well, speaking of the DOJ, there is a report released

22
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 5: by Jack Smith. You all remember him, a special council

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 5: on the Trump federal cases. So we want to hit

24
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 5: that real quick and remind folks to check it out

25
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 5: and then importantly confirmations are going on. We're spinning our

26
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 5: heads on a swivel, and we just want to go

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 5: over who are some of those folks, and maybe what

28
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 5: some highlights are and what some strategies Democrats can pursue

29
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 5: to get better at this.

30
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: I like that, and I'm gonna stick with you on

31
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, Andrew, because as you all may have seen

32
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: this week, there were threats of violence yet again coming

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 1: from the Republican side, and I'm curious what will happen

34
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: if it actually comes to fisticuffs between two members of

35
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: Congress on Capitol Hill. So we're going to get into

36
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,279
Speaker 1: all of that, so don't go anywhere, Stay tuned.

37
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 6: Sire Calvin and his family have called Alta Dina home

38
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 6: for three generations.

39
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 7: Literally just all us.

40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 6: In the chaos of evacuating his baby and elderly mother

41
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 6: to safety, Sire Calvin got separated from his sister, Evelyn.

42
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: She lived next door.

43
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 7: Everybody's yelling get out. I'm thinking that she's getting out.

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 7: And the next day, after the storm, I come back

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 7: and her car is still there. So at that point

46
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 7: in my brain, my soul is shaking.

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 6: He and his cousin found Evelyn's remains in the.

48
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 7: Rubble Ah, Evelyn, why don't you leave?

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 6: Sire's grief is shared. Five Calvin family members lived on

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 6: this block. Four lost their houses, but they're trying to

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 6: hold on to the hope that they can rebuild their

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 6: beloved community.

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 7: Everyone's in the same boat, like everybody you would depend on,

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 7: everybody you would go to. They're all homeless. Also. They

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 7: just lost everything. They've lost all their memories, all the joy,

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 7: everything that we've built together in this neighborhood. We all

57
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 7: lost together. And I hate it. I hate it because

58
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 7: I love how to pop.

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: I am so deeply hurt for the people who have

60
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: lost loved ones, who lost everything they had. There was

61
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 4: another story about this man who heard the evacuation orders

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: kind of took it lightly and then he said that

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: they ended up evacuating, but he just knew they would

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: come back. He grew up in la he's been there

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: for thirty years. He said it in the same place,

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: and he said, there's nothing left. They had a second house,

67
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: an add on unit in the bag that they lost,

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: their trailer, everything they had he left behind because he

69
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: didn't take it seriously. And now these folks are not

70
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: only going to be battling against the trauma of losing

71
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: their memories, their loved ones. You just heard this gentleman

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: talk about losing his sister but also fighting with insurance

73
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: companies on whether or not they'll even pay the claims.

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 8: So it is tragic.

75
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: I've heard a lot of really callous chatter about it

76
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: doesn't matter because the rich people in Malibu are Pacific palisades,

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: you know, can rebuild. That is so besides the point,

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: I would hope in this moment that we could tap

79
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: into our humanity and think about the least of these

80
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: and the folks who have everything. Nobody deserves to lose

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: their livelihood, everything that they've worked for. And I just

82
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: would pray that we continue to deepen into compassion, into

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: our humanity in this moment and reach out to support

84
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: folks who have lost everything.

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: I take your point age because I've also seen some

86
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: people circulating things online about you know, when you don't

87
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: put God first in your life, God shows you He exists,

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: and you know, I just think it's such an incredibly

89
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: shitty thing to look at people suffering and suggest that

90
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: this is somehow godly. Just a little bit about the neighborhood,

91
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: because to your point, We've heard a lot about the

92
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: wealthy neighborhoods. About a quarter of the residence in Altadena

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: are sixty five or older, and many of these families

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: pass their houses down from parents to children, hoping they

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: would be a foundation for generational wealth. Most of the

96
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: residents live west of Lake Avenue in Altadena. This is

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: where many early black homeowners were as a result of redlining,

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: and even when redlining was outlawed, the practice continued informally

99
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: by real estate agents. So black families who were pushed

100
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: out of urban housing in neighboring Pasadena made their way

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: to Altadena, and by the seventies, the black proportion of

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: the population peaked at nearly forty three percent, that's according

103
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to census data. And now the worry is that residents

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: will scatter, that neighborhoods will hasten gentrification, that the proportion

105
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: of black residents has already fallen to eighteen percent. Now

106
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: that Altadena is considered affluent, with the average household income

107
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: of one hundred and ninety thousand dollars. So I've seen

108
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: a lot of posts from people saying, hey, don't sell.

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: People are already making offers that it's going to be

110
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: a land grab by wealthy developers. So I truly hope

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: that we as a community can make sure that this

112
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: community stays in our hands and in our prayers.

113
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 5: Andrew just finally on that. I embrace everything that both

114
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 5: of you have said here and just want to double

115
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: down on this the opportunistic end of natural disasters, which

116
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: is that speculators, developers, deep investors on the coast in

117
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: many cases and in many cases outside of this country,

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 5: We'll look to these areas, these now beleaguered, deeply hampered areas,

119
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: buy up those lands, and next thing you'll see our

120
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 5: multi million dollar you know, real estate popping up in

121
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 5: whole communities and histories loss. To add to your stats there, Tiff,

122
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: I read this morning that eighty percent of the homes

123
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: and Altadena are owned and as you mentioned, have been

124
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 5: passed generationally for one to the next. I just I'm

125
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: in prayer for those folks. We see it a lot

126
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: down South Hill with hurricanes and people's lives being just upended.

127
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 5: These fires can come very unperd didictably, you had parts

128
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 5: of La La County that weren't even in these evacuation zones,

129
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 5: and because of the strength of the wind and the

130
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: dryness of the area. You have these fires Hopscotch and

131
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: the areas that weren't expecting it. And so just prayers

132
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: going up for those folks and to Karen Bass, wishing

133
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: Mayor Bass the very best as she works toward the

134
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: reconstruction of our community.

135
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: Well, we have a question or a comment, I believe

136
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: from a viewer, so let's get into that.

137
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 9: Hey, welcome home, y'all. Thank you for everything that you do.

138
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 9: You're just stalwarts of black journalism and I really appreciate y'all.

139
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 9: I am coming to you from Los Angeles. I'm sure

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 9: you've heard about the fires. Everybody's heard about the movie

141
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 9: star homes that burned down, but I wanted y'all to

142
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 9: hopefully give a little coverage to the neighborhood of Altadena.

143
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 9: This was a bastion of the black middle class here

144
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 9: in the Los Angeles area, and it was really ravaged

145
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 9: by the Eton fire. You're probably hearing a lot about

146
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 9: the Palisades fire, but this was the one on the

147
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 9: opposite end of town near Altadena. This place is just

148
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 9: a treasure trow for black history. This is where Jackie

149
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 9: Robinson grew up. Science fiction author Octavia Butler author Charles White.

150
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 9: I think Eldrick Cleaver is buried there. And again, it

151
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 9: was just a lot of black wealth that was lost

152
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 9: in those homes. So I hope this does get some publicity,

153
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 9: and I thought y'all would be the perfect outlet to

154
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 9: give it a little bit. Thank you so much, and

155
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 9: again I appreciate everything you do. Keep up the good fight,

156
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 9: don't quit the pod. We got this.

157
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: Bye Andela.

158
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 7: I loved her.

159
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Interesting that she brought up Octavia Butler. Our friend Aaron

160
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: Haynes and I reread a parable of the Sewer, which

161
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: is one of her most popular books, And just the coincidence,

162
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: if you will, that that story began. It came out

163
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: decades ago, but the story begins in twenty twenty four,

164
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: and I remember reading it as a younger person thinking

165
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: it's so weird that somebody's born in nineteen seventy nine

166
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: will be in their forties and blah blah, here I am.

167
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: And the premise of the story is California is on fire.

168
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: It's a post apocalyptic world. So the fact that her

169
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: neighborhood and God rest her soul as being one of

170
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: the pioneers of black sci fi writers. But the fact

171
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: that she wrote this story and that her neighborhood where

172
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: she grew up is a blaze in a story that

173
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: perhaps she foreshadowed, you know, like her stories could have

174
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: been The Hunger Games. You know, they too centered a

175
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: young black protagonist. Her story could have been Twilight. So anyway,

176
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: I know you lived in LA and I just feel

177
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: like you have family in LA so I know that

178
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: you have personal connection here as well.

179
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Fortunately all of my family is safe. I have

180
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 4: friends that have been traumatized, friends that are separate from

181
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 4: the air quality and all that, and we also have

182
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: friends of this show. Our friend Carrie Champions submitted this statement, Hey.

183
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 10: Y'all, how are you. My good sister Angela Rai sent

184
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 10: me a text today and she said, can you talk

185
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 10: a little bit about the place you call home. The

186
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 10: place that I call home is Pasadena. I grew up

187
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 10: in Pasadena. I went to Wilson Middle School. I went

188
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 10: to Pasadena High School. I went to UCLA. I am

189
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 10: born and raised, but I'll talk specifically about Altadena and

190
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 10: what that community meant to me growing up. The very

191
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 10: first time that I had my first celebrity introduction to

192
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 10: the world, I was in junior high school and I

193
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 10: was getting my hair done. Of course, I was getting

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 10: my hair done, and I met Tupac Shakur. He was

195
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 10: just coming on the scene, very popular. I get around

196
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 10: and he was in a hair salon in Altadena, and

197
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 10: it was a hair salon that also did men's haircuts

198
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 10: on one side, women on the other. You could only imagine,

199
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 10: but it was home. It felt very comfortable. It felt

200
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 10: like a space for us to relax. It felt like

201
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 10: a space for us to do our things. And that,

202
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 10: to me, is a beautiful way to describe Altadena. My

203
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 10: very first boyfriend was in Altadena. Sadly, he posted that

204
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 10: his mother, eighty two years old, lost her home. Imagine

205
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 10: being eighty two years old and losing your home. You

206
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 10: don't have two years to rebuild. You don't have a

207
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 10: lifetime to rebuild and start from scratch. And so what

208
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 10: I encourage most of us to do is do your

209
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 10: homework and understand this beautiful community called Altadena that was

210
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 10: one of the very first sanctuaries for the middle class

211
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 10: and affluent blacks. It breaks my heart to think what

212
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 10: could happen next if we don't come together and help

213
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 10: this community out.

214
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 5: I'm thankful for that for their testimonial, and wanted to

215
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: make sure that we were keeping in our own family

216
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: here who work with us every week, week in and

217
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: week out on the show. Let's hear some reflections from

218
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 5: one of our producers here, Nick.

219
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 11: Hey, fam, this is Nick. I'm a producer, normally behind

220
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 11: the scenes, some Native lampod but I was asked to

221
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 11: record this little video since I'm living through this big

222
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 11: wildfire event right now in LA. I was a few

223
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 11: miles away from the mandatory evacuation zone when the fires

224
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 11: were at their worst, and like everyone in Los Angeles,

225
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 11: have been obsessively checking my phone for the last week

226
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 11: to see where the fires are moving to if they're

227
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 11: getting closer to me, to see what the air quality

228
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 11: is like. Can I even breathe the air outside today?

229
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 11: And while I'm experiencing this event in person, I've also

230
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 11: been experiencing it online like all of you, So I

231
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 11: seen all these terrifying videos and pictures. It can be

232
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 11: mentally draining, and I think those images are a big

233
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 11: part of the reason why so many Angelinas, so many

234
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 11: folks in LA have been coming out in force to

235
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 11: volunteer and donate It's been really heartening to see, and

236
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 11: I think it's also why I've had so many people, friends,

237
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 11: family members reaching out very concerned to check in on me.

238
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 11: I've really appreciated folks checking in on me like that.

239
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 11: What's been frustrating to see is like commentators and influencers

240
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 11: who are leaping to blame, you know, why these fires

241
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 11: have gotten so bad on one thing or the other.

242
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 11: So you know, just be careful with sharing info about

243
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 11: these fires, particularly if you're sharing it with someone in LA.

244
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 11: You know, think about is this fact based? Are they

245
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 11: citing reliable sources? And also think about like is this

246
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 11: something that my friend or family member really needs to

247
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 11: see right now, or do they just need to know

248
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 11: that I love them and I'm thinking about them and

249
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 11: I'm checking in on them, and like keep checking in

250
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 11: on them, you know. Besides just taking extra care of

251
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 11: myself and checking in with my peeps, one thing that's

252
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 11: really helped me get through this is volunteering donating, and

253
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 11: we're going to drop some resources in the episode description.

254
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 11: If you guys want to donate or volunteer, if you're

255
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 11: in the area, I encourage you to do that.

256
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 8: Well, we're back.

257
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: We decided to spend a little time talking about DJ today.

258
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: There are a few things that I want to put

259
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: on your radar quickly before I get into the Tulsa

260
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 4: Black Wall Street report. I just want to mention that

261
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: we are in the final stretch down to the wire

262
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: on a pardon for Marilyn Moseby. We have not heard

263
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: from the White House, we have not heard from the

264
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,119
Speaker 4: Department of Justice, We've not heard from the Pardon Office

265
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: about whether or not she will be pardoned.

266
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 8: There are a number of other folks who are also.

267
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 4: Seeking seeking relief, and just given who Joe Biden has

268
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 4: pardoned or sentence disease commuted so far, I would urge

269
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 4: you all to once again sign our Color of Change petition,

270
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: and I'd also urge you to call the White House

271
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: to let them know where you stand.

272
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 8: A number of our friends are no longer working.

273
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: Their last day was on Monday or Tuesday, and so

274
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: it's going to be harder to get through, but we

275
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: cannot give up. We need to treat this as if

276
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: this was one of our own family members, our sister,

277
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 4: our friend, Marilyn Moseby, is wanting to maintain her freedom.

278
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: It is abundantly important because that is the only way

279
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: she'll be able to practice law and provide for her

280
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: two daughters if she does not get a pardon, and

281
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: perhaps even when on this appeal, she doesn't get to

282
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: keep the property that she paid for with her own

283
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: retirement funds. So I'd ask you all to keep justice

284
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: in mind as we talk about a massive injustice that

285
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 4: the community of Tulsa has experienced for well over one

286
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 4: hundred years. Black Wall Street was burned to the ground

287
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: in May of nineteen twenty one behind an allegation misinformation

288
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: that now we see run rampant online. And what I

289
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: think I want to start first with what I believe

290
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: the Department of Justice got right. What they got right

291
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: where the facts the facts are indisputable. Unfortunately, many of

292
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: our textbooks don't talk to us about these kinds of facts,

293
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 4: whether it's Blackwall Street or Rosewood or any other community

294
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: that was burned to the ground in nineteen nineteen and

295
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: so forth. We don't hear about these stories, and so

296
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 4: often they are suppressed because folks know that if they

297
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 4: are told that justice will.

298
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 8: Be on the other side.

299
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 4: Well, the Department of Justice got wrong, is the legal

300
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: analysis is saying it's unfortunate that they can't prosecute anyone

301
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 4: for the crime of what happened in Blackwall Street, given

302
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: that it was a coordinated attack by their own words.

303
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 4: But I also think that they went a little light

304
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: on civil liability. It's important that the city knows that

305
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: it has an obligation to make whole the survivors, to

306
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: make whole the descendants, and I think that it's.

307
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 8: Falling woefully short here.

308
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: This is a report that comes on the other side

309
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: of Joe Biden going to Tulsa himself in twenty twenty

310
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 4: one and assuring the at that point there were three

311
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: that they would see justice in his administration. Now Mother Fletcher,

312
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 4: mother Randall, one hundred and ten years old, have yet

313
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: to see justice served and have yet to be restored

314
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: and repaired for what was wrong and the many things

315
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 4: and many people, many homes, many businesses that they witnessed losing.

316
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: This is so terrible, and I mean because it really

317
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: has felt like they were waiting out the survivors. We

318
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: lost Uncle Red last year, and it just baffles me

319
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: that these people will not see any justice on both fronts.

320
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, because when you were talking

321
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: about the pardons. I found myself becoming a lot more

322
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: in raids, and obviously we want Marilyn to get a pardon.

323
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: That was one of the questions I was going to

324
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: ask you, what does it mean for her? You know

325
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: she's not going to jail. Why is it so important?

326
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you saying this is how she provides

327
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: for her families, and she stands to lose her property

328
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: that she paid for with her own money. So as

329
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: tragic as that is and certainly warrants the attention of

330
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: this administration, I'm also struck by the people who did

331
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: lose their livelihood, who lost their liberty, who are in prison.

332
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: And as this president was the author of the nineteen

333
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: ninety four crime bill that was widely supported by a

334
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: lot of law enforcement or elect luck and officials that

335
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: happen to look like us, I just think there is

336
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: a debt ode to society but also our community, because

337
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: I'm increasingly challenged with taken away a person's liberty the

338
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: more we talk about what happens inside these prison systems.

339
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: So it's devastating that this president could leave this office

340
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: and leave these injustices unaddressed. It's discussing to see Andrew, Yeah,

341
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: go ahead.

342
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 5: No, I just want to say quickly on on the

343
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 5: Tolsa piece that I think it's important we all understand.

344
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 5: And Angela, I know you probably know this better than

345
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 5: all of us. Is the precedent that these folks are

346
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 5: trying to avoid a hology with financial restitution to make

347
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: communities quote whole, which you can't be truly whole after

348
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 5: after that kind of terror is visited upon you. But

349
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 5: but what these folks are most afraid of, and I

350
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 5: think at every level, local, state, and federal, is that

351
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 5: there will be example somewhere, Tulsa being frankly the perfect

352
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 5: place where it is a known travesty executed against black folks,

353
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 5: that the folks who are responsible for putting out fires,

354
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 5: your local your local government, by and large, law enforcement,

355
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 5: also local government, that at every level the institution failed

356
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 5: and because of their failure, lives were lost, the community ravage, devastated,

357
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: and disappeared by and large, except for the spirit that

358
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 5: stills abound A bounds in there there there there remain

359
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: remaining ancestors. And and I just I just want to

360
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 5: call out capitalism and the government's fear of having the

361
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 5: bill come due that is justly owed to black folks justly.

362
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 4: So yes, the reparations battle also hangs in the balance here, Andrew.

363
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: And Andrew, I appreciate what you're thinking about reparations, and

364
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: I just want to remind our viewers that Mayor g

365
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: T buying them, who himself is the descendant of enslavers,

366
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and who according to some reporting, had family who could

367
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: potentially have been a part of the riots and destruction,

368
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: has been an advocate or an active opponent of reparations

369
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: and paying out damages to these families. So the hypocrisy

370
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: runs rampant, Andrew, I know you wanted to get okay.

371
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 4: Sorry just on that point, though, it is important to

372
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 4: note that Tulsa this year or last year, sorry at

373
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: the in the election elected Monroe Nichols, who is a

374
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: black mayor now, who is actually citing with thinking that

375
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: the city of Tulsa is responsible for this massacre.

376
00:20:59,240 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: I hope there.

377
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't think I realized that there was a new

378
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: mayor there, so congratulations and.

379
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 3: Big deal.

380
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: A little bio piece on him which was just really

381
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: hometown embracing white folks, black folks. People really wrap their

382
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 5: hands around him, and I hope that lasts for him

383
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 5: as long as possible, because when you come down on

384
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 5: an issue like this, it does tend to divide folks

385
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 5: on one side or another. But you know what, brother, writers,

386
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 5: writers write all the time, So more power to you.

387
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 5: And speaking of writers, writers, right, Jack Smith, who we

388
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 5: know as a special counsel who prosecuted began the prosecutions

389
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 5: of Donald Trump on the federal document management case. That

390
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 5: was the case that was happening down in Palm Beach

391
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 5: with the Miami judge and of course in Washington, d C.

392
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 5: January sixth, and the actions he took an association with

393
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 5: the attempted to coup there produce a report quite thick.

394
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 5: I think we're up to what one hundred and forty

395
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 5: five pages explain the evidence that was collected, the case

396
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 5: made against Donald Trump, and then basically saying that the

397
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 5: outcome of the election is what stopped this case full stop.

398
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 5: They couldn't go any further given d OJ's practice of

399
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 5: not prosecuting a sitting pre not prosecuting bringing a prosecution

400
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 5: against a sitting president. I found it interesting they took

401
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: no real responsibility for the amount of time that it

402
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 5: took to go from Trump being out of office four years.

403
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 5: Fast forward, fast forward to these case being bought frankly

404
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 5: in the in a year out from the next presidential election.

405
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 5: I think they owe some accountability to us on this.

406
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 5: But he does part the report by giving some advice

407
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 5: around the fact that once investigations have begun, they should

408
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: be able to continue in earnest by the DOJ, regardless

409
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 5: of what elections happened to be going on. I don't know,

410
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 5: y'all of that will become new DJ practice or if

411
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 5: this just stands out in history as an anomaly. But

412
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 5: but I am I have been repeatedly disappointed by this

413
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 5: Department of Justice under its current Attorney General, Mary Garland,

414
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 5: who I thought would be a stronger ally, but he is.

415
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: He has from the very beginning, I think, been a

416
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 5: week link in the administration and for the country. And

417
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 5: so I'm not looking forward to the next one, uh

418
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 5: necessarily which they are right now undergoing confirmation hearings. But

419
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 5: but but this is a real disappointment. I appreciate the

420
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: data of the information, y'all. I'm just not optimistic that

421
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 5: this will in any way impact the OJ policy in

422
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 5: a positive in a positive way, I'm not sure if

423
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 5: y'all have thoughts.

424
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: Well, we we've talked about structural violence, Andrew, and I

425
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: think some of the things with Jack Smith is structural.

426
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: But I want to switch gears and get into some

427
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: actual violence on Capitol Hill. I'm sure you guys have

428
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: seen some of the threats of violence happen this week,

429
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: but this is not something new, and so I want

430
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: you to take a list at some exchanges that have

431
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: happened just over the past year, and then we'll talk

432
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: about this increasing threat of violence and who it's coming from.

433
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: More importantly, on the other side of the sound, let's

434
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: roll that clip.

435
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 12: The tough Guy Act in the Senate hearings. You know

436
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 12: where to find me any place, any time, cowboy. Sorry,

437
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 12: this is a time. This is a place. If you

438
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 12: want to run your mouth, we can be too consenting adults.

439
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 12: We can finish it here.

440
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 6: Okay, that's fine, perfect, you.

441
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 12: Want to do it now.

442
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 9: I'd love to do it right now.

443
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 12: We'll stand your butt up.

444
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: Then you stand you up, but um hold stop it. Here.

445
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 13: She is armed with a deadly assault rifle, pointing it

446
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 13: toward three Democratic members and some people who wanted to

447
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 13: give other people nightmare committed sedition and broke into the

448
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 13: House of Representatives and tried to stop us while electing

449
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 13: a president of the United States.

450
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 8: America is the greatest country in the world.

451
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 14: The staunch supporter of Donald Trump before she was elected,

452
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 14: Marjorie Taylor Green posted unfounded far right non conspiracy theories online.

453
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 14: The Georgia representative also harassed high school shooting victims, having

454
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 14: claimed and then retracted that the attacks were staged.

455
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 15: I don't even know how we we got there, because

456
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 15: I tried to make it clear how many civil rights

457
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 15: It doesn't just bail down to one conversation. But I

458
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 15: can see that somebody's campaign coffers really are struggling right now.

459
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 15: So she gonna keep saying trans trans trans so that

460
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 15: people will feel threatened and child listen, I want you.

461
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 15: I won't even stay out of those females have selsclaming

Speaker 15: my time.

463
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 5: You will not do that.

464
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 3: I am in my time.

465
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 5: You want to take it out side chairman.

466
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 16: And committee, so you That was our Texas Congress from

Speaker 16: may have heard at the end there she said, if

469
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 16: you want to take it outside, we can.

470
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: Those were the videos we were able to pull. However,

471
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: I just want to remind our viewers. In November of

472
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, according to

473
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: the reporting at the time, allegedly elbowed Tennessee Republican Tim Burcheck.

474
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: He was one of the eight GOP House members who

475
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: voted to alse McCarthy from the speakership position. In October,

476
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: he reportedly elbowed him in the hallway of the Capitol.

477
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: On the Senate side, you heard Mark Mullen threatened to

478
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: get in a physical fight with a witness at a hearing.

479
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee chair James Comer called Congressman Jarrett Moscow

480
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: was a Florida a smurf. Marjorie Taylor Green called Republican

481
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: Daryl Isa a pussy. So these are the things happening

482
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill while very serious things are going on,

483
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, guys, I think that this is

484
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: the year we could see.

485
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: Two members of Congress come to blows.

486
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: And my question to you, Angela, really is if that happens, like,

487
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: how do we, like, what is the protocol, Like, how

488
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: do we anticipate the Capitol police would handle that? How

489
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: do we anticipate. I mean, look, I would imagine if

490
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: the CBC, the CBS have a ride for mine, if

491
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: I'm a member of Congress, if you put your hands

492
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: on Daz with krage, if I'm a member, I'm it's

493
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: a melee.

494
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 3: We all we all running.

495
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous to be having these conversations, like you know,

496
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: we on Capitol Hill talk about World Star. But this

497
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: is the reality that.

498
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 3: We're in right now.

499
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: And if you know, it is the Republicans threatening by

500
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: They're saying, you want to catch me outside, then let's

501
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: do that.

502
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: I don't know where we go from here.

503
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 8: I'll tell you where we go from here. Tif Okay,

504
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 8: listen here, listen, listen.

505
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 4: Here, what we're doing, what we're doing now, we're we're

506
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: doing that. I'm yeah, if you didn't do anyway, I don't.

507
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 8: I don't really know. I ain't got nothing on this.

508
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 5: It is really a no for them. I mean, I'm

509
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 5: just watching the congressman. The senator started, you know, interviewing

510
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 5: a panelists before a Senate hearing, you know, telling about

511
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 5: something you want to think you want to stand up then,

512
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 5: I mean, do you where do y'all think? Y'all at

513
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 5: we know how you act at home now, but you

514
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 5: should keep it at home, and I do.

515
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 8: I tell you, I think, please don't take that nowhere.

516
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 5: No. I mean, if you want to be big boy

517
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 5: and go do that out on the ranch, you know,

518
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 5: go have your you know, your your whatever. But I

519
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 5: just I think Jasmine was under something around on the right.

520
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 5: The more violent your rhetoric, the more ridiculous your claims

521
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 5: and comments, the higher your trajectory is for not just

522
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 5: campaign cash but looking at this administration for appointments, two offices.

523
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 5: The more violent you are, the more accusations you have

524
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 5: against you. Used to be a deficit these folks. Oh, no,

525
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 5: badge of honor. Why don't you become Attorney General of

526
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 5: the United States? That's what you get get, you get elevation.

527
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 5: So Tiff, I think the incentive, unfortunately, is on the

528
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 5: opposite side of decorum and truth, accountability and responsibility for

529
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 5: the office you hold, not for yourself, but on behalf

530
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 5: of the people who elected you to represent them all.

531
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 5: That is secondary.

532
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Why you know, there's a I'm embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed.

533
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: Oh Stacy fight, That's what it was. I was trying

534
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: to remember who I interviewed someone on my show and

535
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: it was Congressoman Stacey Plaskett, and I asked her about

536
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the threats that Marjorie Taylor Green had been issuing. It

537
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: just all this gully talk that they have, you know,

538
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: Twitter fingers like to talk a lot. And I asked her,

539
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: how do you anticipate like handling that kind of potential violence,

540
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: And she gave the best answer. Congresswoman Stacey Plaska, who

541
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: represents the US Virgin Islands and in Congress, said, Marjorie

542
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Taylor Green may.

543
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: Be dumb, but she's not stupid.

544
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: And I just teak, that is the attitude that you

545
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: have to deliver. Look, this is there are serious things

546
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: happening right now, and we have elected the Angry Comments

547
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 1: Section to be responsible for legislating what is happening in

548
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: our country. And I just think some of them might

549
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: be on a fat FO mission.

550
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 8: Wait, can you please just just do just just real

551
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 8: quick please.

552
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to be what we can

553
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: start with the fact that Marjorie Taylor Green was harassing

554
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: a survivor of a high school shooting. Like literally, for

555
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: our listeners who are listening, don't watch, She's literally following these.

556
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 8: They're not kid, I hear you.

557
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: But it's all like it is all sad and funny

558
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: at the same time, and ridiculous, utterly ridicul list. But

559
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: on a serious note, my serious question is, and I

560
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: don't even think the three of us have an answer.

561
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: I do wonder how might the Capitol Hill Police handle

562
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: a melee like that when there are members Because they're

563
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 1: there to protect members of Congress, so aid right, So

564
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: if two members and you are supposed to be impartial,

565
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: if two members of Congress are in fisticuffs, then yes,

566
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna break it up.

567
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: But what if someone gets violent with you?

568
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 4: What if you're telling you right now, let me tell you, no, no,

569
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you about the Capitol Police right now.

570
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 4: There is one group of police officers who I will

571
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 4: always love and cherish.

572
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 8: It is the Capitol Hill Police.

573
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: Now it's a it's a rogue one every now and then,

574
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: but most of these folks are so down for the cause.

575
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: There was a sister had Lisa Blo Rochester, swearing in

576
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: black woman officer and I was just like, I said,

577
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: I just want you.

578
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 8: To know I love you and I see you. Since

579
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 8: she was like I appreciate. They're just down for the cause.

580
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 8: So I'm gonna tell you right now, if it goes

581
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 8: down and you.

582
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 4: See the tape, Okay, Harry done, if Harry done in

583
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: the room, if he got back in the room. He

584
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 4: is riding with the CBC all day, so they don't

585
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 4: get in trouble for that. But I'm telling you they

586
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: ride for us and the members for sure, for.

587
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: Sure, shout out to Harry Dunn, a real ass American hero,

588
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: and yes and all his officer good good, And we

589
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: saw on January sixth, So I don't know. I had

590
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: shuddered to think that we might actually see what will

591
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: happen if two members come to blows. So we'll see.

592
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully we won't find out. But I the the way

593
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: things right, I think the way things are going, I

594
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: could see this happening.

595
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: All right.

596
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,640

Speaker 8: Now, it's more important things.

629
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 5: No, I appreciate that. Don't forget folks, vote, vote, vote often,

630
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 5: but only for the NAACP awards. Voting often in elections

631
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 5: is illegal, so don't do that. But to some some information,

632
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 5: and what's going on Capitol Hill, y'all, it's a rat

633
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 5: race up there. I'm not even sure how these committees

634
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: are like getting it done because confirmation, confirmation, confirmation. We

635
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 5: are a couple of days out from the shifting of administrations,

636
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 5: and when a new president and vice president come in, yes,

637
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 5: a whole new cabinet, a whole new staff and all

638
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 5: the other comes in with it. But of course, as

639
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 5: y'all know because we've talked about it on this podcast before,

640
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 5: that this is a particularly special time with this Trump

641
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 5: administed transition, because these folks are also going to be

642
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 5: trying to deepen into the government infrastructure, the employee employment infrastructure,

643
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 5: to make sure that they have loyal people at every

644
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 5: level of the government. We ought to keep our eyes

645
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 5: out for that. But right now, let's check out some

646
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 5: of the heads of agencies and departments who are undergoing confirmation.

647
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 5: We began the week week with Keith Hegsef Pee Pee Pete.

648
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 5: I don't know what I said. I think it's a

649
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 5: key Keith, but Pete Hegseth, who is up for Secretary

650
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 5: of the Department of Defense of these United States, And

651
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 5: I'd love for you to take a quick quick look

652
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 5: at how he was handled during one of those questioning periods.

653
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 17: Here we have hundreds hundreds of women who are currently

654
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 17: in the infantry, lethal members of our military serving in

655
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 17: the infantry, but you degrade them, you say we need

656
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 17: but not in the military, especially in combat units. You

657
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 17: will be in charge of three million personnel.

658
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 8: It is a big job.

659
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 17: And when you make these public statements, and I get

660
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 17: you are not Secretary of Defense, then I get you

661
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 17: were on TV. I get you were helping veterans. I

662
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 17: get it was a different job. But most recently, you

663
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 17: said this in November of twenty twenty four, knowing full

664
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 17: well you might have been named.

665
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 3: As Secretary of Defense.

666
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 5: Defense.

667
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 17: So please explain these types of statements because they're brutal,

668
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 17: and they're mean, and they disrespect men and women who

669
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 17: are willing to die for this country.

670
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 18: I spent months talking to active duty service members, men

671
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 18: and women, low ranks, high ranks, combat arms and not

672
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 18: combat arms. And what each and every one of them

673
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 18: told me, and which personal instances have shown me, is

674
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 18: that in ways direct, indirect, overt, and subtle, standards have

675
00:36:54,680 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 18: been changed inside infantry training units, ranger school, infantry battalions

676
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 18: to ensure the example.

677
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 17: Please give me an example. I get you're making these.

678
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 18: Generals quotas to have a certain number of female infantry

679
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 18: officers or infustry enlisted, and that disparages those women.

680
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 17: Commanders do not have to be a quotas for the infantry.

681
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 17: Commanders do not have to have a quota for women

682
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 17: in the infantry.

683
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: That does not exist.

684
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 8: It does not exist.

685
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just that's a brief preview of what yesterday

686
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 5: looked like. So that was a New York State senator,

687
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 5: New York senator representing obviously the state of New York,

688
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 5: Kirsten Gillibrand, who I have to tell you, I felt

689
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 5: like she and the women on that committee yesterday, Mazie

690
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 5: Harano and many others, even even former vice presidential nominee

691
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 5: and senator from Ware Virginia.

692
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 8: Timmaavor that watch day.

693
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, well either way, all I want to say is

694
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 5: I thought that one it was clear no Republican defected

695
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 5: and hec seth is you know, probably going to get

696
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 5: the votes that he needs. But that was him being

697
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 5: taken to task over his comments about women moms not

698
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 5: being in the military, so on and so forth, and

699
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 5: them members of the Democratic Party holding him accountable to

700
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 5: some of them, and it got fiery yesterday. If you

701
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 5: didn't see that, I hope folks are able to check

702
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 5: it out. Tiffany and Angela. I know'll y'all monitored it

703
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 5: as well.

704
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: What were your highlights from I just want to just

Speaker 1: in confirmation hearings for Secretary of Transportation John Ratcliffe for

715
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: CIA Director. This is a big deal because, as you know,

716
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: Chris Ray the outgoing Uh, I'm sorry, Chris raised FBI,

717
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm the CIA director. Is uh very important because if

718
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: you watch Lions, there are a lot of issues facing

719
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: our facing our our country. Chris Wright, Secretary of Energy.

720
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: He's an executive of a natural gas company based in Denver.

721
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: Russell Valt Director of Office O and B, Office of

722
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: Management and Budget. Which is a big deal. Scott Turner

723
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: on Thursday, which is HUD. He is a former football

724
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: player who served as a mid level official in the

725
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: first Trump administration. He's been elevated to lead a cabinet position.

726
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Lee Zelden for the e P a environmental protection AG.

727
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: Doug Bergh, I'm another Trump loyalist for Interior Secretary, Scott

728
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: Bestnett Treasury you and imagine that is a huge deal.

729
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: A huge deal, Bescent, I'm sorry, I said, Bescent. And

730
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: Christy Nome, infamous who infamously wrote about shooting her dog,

731
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: her puppy. She will be facing the Senate on Friday

732
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: for Homeland Security. So things are moving quickly on Capitol Hill.

733
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: We obviously by the time some of you all may

734
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: listen to this, we have already we have not talked

735
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: about it because it wasn't happening at the time that

736
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: we had this discussion. But play keen attention to what's

737
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: happening on Capitol Hill because this these are the people

738
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: who will be leading government.

739
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 3: Angela have you.

740
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: Because the House doesn't really deal with confirmation hearings. What

741
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: has traditionally been the role I think a lot of

742
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: people wonder this of the Congressional Black Caucus, who serves

743
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: in the lower chamber of the House, what has just

744
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: traditionally been their role with helping confirm people or trying

745
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: to stop people from confirmation since they're not on the

746
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: Senate side.

747
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'll say, gone the ladder because that's the

748
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 4: day and adri we are in now. I think that

749
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: their role really is to help people understand and folks records.

750
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 4: They'll go on air, They'll talk to their colleagues and

751
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: their state delegation. They will meet with people that they

752
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 4: have friendly relationships with, such as if they share views

753
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,959
Speaker 4: of the Progressive Caucus or if they're in the Blue

754
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: Dogs or whatever. They will meet and talk about things

755
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 4: that they know about these individuals. Some of them have

756
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 4: worked with these nominees. We know Pam Bondi and her

757
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 4: role with some really tragic events in Florida. Some of

758
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 4: the Florida delegation is certain to speak out against some

759
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 4: of those things that she's done, including some of the

760
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 4: ways in which she's massive been responsible for some massive injustice,

761
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 4: including saying that Donald Trump actually won Pennsylvania in twenty twenty.

762
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: So you can expect to hear the Pennsylvania delegation speak

763
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 4: out against that. They will write letters to senators and

764
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 4: again talk to their friends, but there's not a formal role.

765
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 4: They don't have any voting procedures, any hearings that they

766
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 4: conduct on those actual nominations themselves.

767
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 3: And it doesn't sound like anybody can stop it. I mean,

768
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: you don't. You have Senator Joni Ernst.

769
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: Who is herself a survivor of abuse and sexual assault,

770
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: who is willing to vote for Pete Hegsath as Secretary

771
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: of Defense, who will be in charge of three million

772
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: people and a massive budget, who has never managed more

773
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: than eighty people, and she and he's also been accused

774
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: of sexual assault, and she is voting for him, Andrew,

775
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: I just I don't know what it will say. Like,

776
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: this is not a Senate, it is a cult. These

777
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: are people who are there. Every question they ask it

778
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: is on some level. Are you a Trump loyalist? You

779
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: know Democrats keep asking will you say no? And that

780
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: was one of the questions. We should play this clip

781
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: of Bondi Pam Bondi, because you and I disagree on

782
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 1: how she handles this question. So let's hear from Pam Bondy,

783
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: who is being in confirmation hearing to become the next

784
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 1: Attorney General.

785
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen.

786
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 19: Would you have hired someone into the Florida Attorney General's

787
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 19: office who you knew had an enemy's list?

788
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 12: Senator to cut to the chase, clearly talking about Cash Pattel,

789
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 12: I don't believe he has an enemy's list.

790
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 4: Cash Battel has a published enemies list. So she has

791
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 4: perjured herself as the next Attorney General lying to Congress

792
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 4: when she knows full damn well that Cash Patael has.

793
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 8: An enemy's list. Not only does he have his enemies list,

794
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 8: it is published. We gonna put it up on the

795
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 8: screen right now. Run that thing back. What does that say, Pam?

796
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 8: You know better, Pam, stop lying, Pam. That's all I

797
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 8: got to say about that.

798
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 3: I just like to tell of yours.

799
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: Cash Hotel is who Trump has tapped to run the FBI,

800
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 1: and he has called members of the FBI people employees

801
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: of the FBI is a deep state.

802
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: He is a person. These are all people who are out.

803
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: Pambondi herself has said, we're going to prosecute the prosecutors,

804
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: We're going to investigate the investigators. They are all trafficking

805
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: on an enemy's list. I am curious from a legal perspective.

806
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: Can she plead ignorance? Can she say, well, I didn't

807
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: know he had this published enemies list? And what's important

808
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: to know about this, This Cash Hotel will be reporting

809
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: into the d l J. He will be Pam Binni

810
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: will essentially be one of his bosses. They all serve

811
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: with the pleasure of the President, but the FBI falls

812
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: under the DLJ.

813
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 5: I also think she said I don't I don't believe,

814
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 5: I don't believe, and yeah, and she did. And quite frankly,

815
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 5: the reason why I said she had done well or

816
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 5: what was doing, was because she was able to back

817
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 5: out of basically everything she said, leading up to this.

818
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 3: Are there questionings crappy?

819
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 5: Well, well, I've seen she's very crafty. Answer she has

820
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 5: been answering, Well, she is giving them. She is giving

821
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 5: Democrats and certainly the Republicans the cover they need by saying,

822
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 5: I will be the who's your Who's for instance, who's

823
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 5: your client? As you change a constitution? And the American

824
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 5: people are my client? Right, So they're trying to say

825
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 5: you're gonna work for Donald Trump and she says, no,

826
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 5: the constitution and the American people love my client. I

827
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 5: may be asked to advise him, and then in other

828
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 5: areas it will was Joe Biden win the presidency. Joe

829
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 5: Biden is the president, the forty six president, and Donald

830
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 5: Trump will be the forty seventh president. So just these

831
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 5: obfuscations that that was a good answer, it wasn't a

832
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 5: good answer.

833
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 3: I'm well, she refused.

834
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: What I took away from that, she refused to say

835
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden got a majority of the votes.

836
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: We agree, Still an apology.

837
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 8: Also, how do we define good?

838
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 10: Like?

839
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 4: Are we saying good and we don't like it? Are

840
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 4: we don't get to shift this so much? But saying so,

841
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 4: here's my question, how are we defining is it a

842
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 4: good answer? Are we saying good by the standards of

843
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 4: integrity and what is moral and what is right?

844
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 8: Are we saying good? And that it was effective?

845
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 5: Effective? And to affect it to this end, yeah, affected

846
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 5: to the end that it causes no Republican senators to

847
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 5: then jump on the line of questioning that creates what

848
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 5: looks like an opening on the right for her to

849
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 5: be defeated. And so far just as it and hex

850
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 5: a confirmation, not one single Republican senator chased down a

851
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 5: line of questioning that would have in any way held

852
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 5: him accountable. Not none, whatsoever. Ernest was was gonna be

853
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 5: the one who probably got closest to opening the door,

854
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 5: didn't even open it, closed it, you know, right shut.

855
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 5: So what I mean by good is no, I think

856
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 5: the answer is disingenuine. I think there's some credibility issues there,

857
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 5: and you know, I wish there was a way to

858
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 5: hold it a greater account But to the point of

859
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 5: effectiveness is will it cause any Republicans consternation? And right now,

860
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 5: as the American people.

861
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 4: Were to hear there the nation bar is very.

862
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 5: No, not in mine.

863
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 4: But there no I sat there, I didn't say there,

864
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 4: So I don't know like they was she would have

865
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 4: to go in there and like light herself on fire

866
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 4: and roll around for them to have any consternation.

867
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, in truth, her predecessor nominee for that office,

868
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 5: gave them consternation and he dropped out right, he had

869
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 5: to withdraw, uh uh. And of course I'm costing my Congressman,

870
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 5: Matt Gates had to withdraw from from that position.

871
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 4: So there are some people that's because there was a

872
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 4: report coming out about his alleged But.

873
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 5: The report was always coming out, and we always knew

874
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 5: that the man was truly thought.

875
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 8: That they were going to be able to hold it up. Remember,

876
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 8: they thought that they.

877
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 5: Were I personally did not believe that they would have

878
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 5: success at keeping from one hundred US senators detail. But

879
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 5: but but I don't think that detail mattered to them

880
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 5: at all.

881
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 1: Right, what does matter to them? I mean, the only

882
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: thing that matters on the Republican side of the vide

883
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: is how loyal will you be Donald Trump?

884
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 5: That's it. Yeah, that's that's it.

885
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, even at risk of national security? How

886
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: loyal will you be to Donald Trump? Pan BONDI was

887
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: also she lobbied for the country of Cutter. I mean,

888
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: there there are so many pete he seths, like we

889
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: didn't see a full FBI background check on him, and

890
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: they still.

891
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 4: And they're not going to the Other thing is you

892
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 4: were talking about that FBI background checks. They're also not

893
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 4: going to have to go through the traditional security clearance process.

894
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 4: They didn't hire a firm to make it okay for

895
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 4: all these folks to get security clearances, whether they've had

896
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 4: issues with the law or not. Even the president will

897
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 4: have top secret and classified information available to him as

898
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 4: a convicted felon.

899
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 8: That is unheard of. There's so many to.

900
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: Ask you about that because you've gone through the security

901
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: clearance process and I'm struck by that.

902
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 3: What is the process?

903
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: Like, what are some things that they're looking for that

904
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: you went through that these people might be able to

905
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: buy pass.

906
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're looking for any issues with finances, like if

907
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 4: you have significant debt, because if you have significant.

908
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: Debt, shut up, I'm not confirmed.

909
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 8: I'm not talking in a conversation. I was talking about the.

910
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 4: Security security player, Okay, But I will just say like

911
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 4: they're looking for some significant debt because they think that

912
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 4: folks who have significant debt are more easily bribed. They

913
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 4: are looking for whether or not you have any felony

914
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 4: or any significant character issue. So that's why I'm saying

915
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 4: it is a amazing to me that even to get

916
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 4: a freaking pre check, to get tsa pre check, there

917
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 4: are certain things that you can have to get global entry.

918
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 4: You cannot have had a DUI on your record. All

919
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 4: of that stuff is out the window for Trump and

920
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 4: his cabinet picks, and arguably some of the folks that

921
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 4: he is hiring to work in the White House that

922
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 4: don't have to be sentate confirmed. So the bar and

923
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 4: the standard is significantly shifting. And I wonder what happens

924
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 4: when the proletariat realizes that the bar and shifted for

925
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 4: some but not for all.

926
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 5: Well, while just say this, the high point for me is,

927
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 5: and I know we're going to break after this, is

928
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 5: simply that one of the Foxes are in charge of

929
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 5: the Henhouses. In every department, every secretary, every appointee, there

930
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 5: is antithetical by and large to the mission and even

931
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 5: in some cases education i e. The existence of certain

932
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 5: departments that they are now in charge of. And so

933
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 5: what that leads for the rest of us. One know,

934
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,479
Speaker 5: there's not gonna be a lot of shock and awe.

935
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 5: It's going to be pretty awful their efforts. But too,

936
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 5: they still have to be held to account at every turn.

937
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 5: We still have to make noise about it. We still

938
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 5: have to make sure people are aware. And I think

939
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 5: more importantly, our vigilance, our eternal vigilance, is really going

940
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 5: to be needed on the stuff that they don't talk

941
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 5: about out loud, the you know, the little break trails

942
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 5: they're not leaving behind. We know enough about heatstaf to

943
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 5: know that the man don't like women, he don't like

944
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 5: black people. He's questionable people of color, and if he

945
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 5: had it his way, it would be an all white male,

946
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 5: one US military that basically bends to the whims of

947
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 5: him and Donald Trump.

948
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 3: He will politicize the military.

949
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 5: It's already done. His answers yesterday were sol I mean,

950
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 5: this week, we're incredulous.

951
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 8: That Tim kne clip.

952
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 3: All right, I want to break. Let's let's play going

953
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 3: to break.

954
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna play the Tim Kane clip so you guys

955
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: can hear the back and forth between he and Virginia

956
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: Senator Tim Kane, who has you all will remember, was

957
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's running mate in the twenty sixteen race. So

958
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: take a listen to this and we will see you

959
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: on the other side of the break when we're going

960
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: to get in the calls to action. Anything else we

961
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: didn't get to touch on, so we'll see you when

962
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: we come back.

963
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 19: That occurred in Monterey, California, in October twenty seventeen. At

964
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 19: that time, you were still married to your second wife, correct.

965
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 5: I believe so, And you had just fathered a.

966
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 19: Child by a woman who would later become your third wife.

967
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 5: Correct, Senator, I.

968
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 18: Was falsely charged, fully investigated, and completely cleared.

969
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 19: So you think you are completely cleared because you committed

970
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 19: no crime, that's your definition of cleared. You had just

971
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 19: fathered a child two months before by a woman that

972
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 19: was not your wife. I am shocked that you would

973
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 19: stand here and say you are completely cleared. Can you

974
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 19: so casually cheat on a second wife and cheat on

975
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 19: the mother of a child who had been born two

976
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 19: months before, and you tell us you are completely cleared?

977
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 5: So how is that a complete clear? Senator?

978
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 18: Her child's name is Gwendolen Hope heg Seth, and she's

979
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 18: a child of God and she's seven.

980
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 19: Years old, and she was and you cheated on the

981
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 19: mother of that child less than two months after that

982
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 19: daughter was born, didn't you those were false charges?

983
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 18: Well, no, Jullie investigated and I was completely cleared.

984
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 5: And I am so youthful, and you're in the marriage.

985
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 18: I have to this.

986
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 19: No, you've you've admitted that you had sex at that

987
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 19: hotel in October twenty seventeen. You said it was consensual.

988
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 19: Isn't that correct?

989
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 5: Anything?

990
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

991
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 3: Welcome back.

992
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: So you just heard that grilling from Senator Tim Kaine

993
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: talking to Defense Secretary nominee Pete Heg Sath about his

994
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 1: extracurricular activities, his affair.

995
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 3: His baby, mama's all of it. And you know, I'm

996
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 3: I ask y'all might just give me here do we think?

997
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm struck by what you were saying,

998
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: Angela about the security process, because that debt that somebody could, Oh,

999
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: we don't know if you have debt to a foreign agency,

1000
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: a foreign country, a company with nefarious intentions.

1001
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 3: You know, if you have this.

1002
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: Big debt with byte Dance, how might you treat the

1003
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: TikTok issue? Like, we just have no idea, But I

1004
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: want to talk about this exchange with Tim Kaine, because look,

1005
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: these things happen on both sides. DC is considered one

1006
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: of the most unfaithful cities in the country because exactly

1007
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: is definitely bipartisan, so it crosses all liness. So my

1008
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: question is, is it fair to you guys that you

1009
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: can bring up someone's personal life because really their marriage

1010
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do.

1011
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 3: With the job.

1012
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: Or do y'all think no, it's fair game because y'all

1013
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: out here trying to be the party of fan values

1014
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: and morality.

1015
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 3: So we gonna ask you ask about it. What do

1016
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 3: y'all say?

1017
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 8: So here's the thing I would just say.

1018
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 4: I think in the context in which Tim Kine raises

1019
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 4: this masterfully, it is fine. I think that when you

1020
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 4: have questions about whether or not someone can keep an oath,

1021
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 4: particularly when they are charged with protecting and defending the

1022
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 4: United States of America at the Department of Defense, Yes,

1023
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 4: your ability to keep an oath matters. You couldn't keep

1024
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 4: the oath the first time, you couldn't keep the oath

1025
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 4: the second time, and in the middle of the second

1026
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 4: time you was getting pregnant your third time.

1027
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 8: And cheated on her before you was even married to her.

1028
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 4: So I think what's hard about that, though, is as

1029
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 4: a daddy's girl. He references this seven year old daughter

1030
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 4: he has now, and so this is something that the

1031
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 4: child will one day grow up and see or even

1032
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 4: will get teased about it now or in a little while.

1033
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 4: That's hard, and I don't ever wish that on any child.

1034
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 4: But I do think that parents when they decide that

1035
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 4: they want to dive into public service.

1036
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 8: We know Andrew.

1037
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 4: Firsthand from campaign, and it is all fair game, or

1038
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 4: it's not fair game, but it's all game.

1039
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 5: And it's definitely a game.

1040
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 4: It's all game, and so that's a part of it.

1041
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 4: I wish that he would have more pointedly answered the question.

1042
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 4: He was asked about the incident because it was an

1043
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 4: alleged sexual assault. He says that he was cleared from it,

1044
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 4: and Tim Kaine's point was, you were cleared from the assault,

1045
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 4: but you weren't cleared from cheating on your wife with

1046
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 4: your baby mama, who is now your third wife. And

1047
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to ask that given the precarious

1048
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 4: position he's in, given the fact that his experience being

1049
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 4: a military leader is a Fox News host, and given

1050
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 4: the fact that he served, but not for long, So

1051
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 4: I think it's all fair. We have to base this

1052
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 4: on your experiences, and it sounds like, friend, you have

1053
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 4: more experience and being a hole and then being a

1054
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 4: military leader.

1055
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 8: I would like that.

1056
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 5: I'll just say I think first of all, with these

1057
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 5: Republicans in US and converse, everything is fair game. They

1058
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 5: don't take anything off the table. If you breathed the

1059
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 5: wrong direction, it is it's a cardinal sin. And I

1060
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 5: also know that if if hexth we're a Democrat and

1061
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 5: appointed by a Democratic president, that all hell would have

1062
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,240
Speaker 5: been broken loose on the Republican side of that panel

1063
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 5: and they would have shredded to him over his demonstrated record.

1064
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 5: Quite frankly, I think there is enough to to totally

1065
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 5: snatch this guy's head just on the legitimate stuff is

1066
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 5: work stuff, even the sexual assault stuff that I don't

1067
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 5: draw the conclusion that a person who has had personal

1068
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 5: indiscretions can't keep an oath. I don't think that you

1069
00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 5: go naturally to that conclusion, but it appts absolutely shows

1070
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 5: something about an individual's character at that point in time.

1071
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 5: But it is a matter that's probably left to the

1072
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 5: family to deal with, especially if you're a US Senator.

1073
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 5: I probably wouldn't be up there throwing any stones if

1074
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 5: I were one of those people. But I do think

1075
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 5: what is fair is what this man has done to

1076
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 5: transgress onto women unwantingly without their permission, the way in

1077
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 5: which he views women by and large, that they can

1078
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 5: have babies, but they cannot serve their country in the

1079
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 5: US military. His position on every black person who has

1080
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 5: ever had a position of any import only got there

1081
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 5: because of the color of their skin, not the content

1082
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 5: of their character or the quality of the work in

1083
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 5: which they have had to do and then have done.

1084
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 5: So there's just so many ways to level this dude.

1085
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 5: That probably would be an avenue that I would have taken.

1086
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 5: But I do think, frankly, with these folks, everything's on

1087
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 5: the table.

1088
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's on the table because Republicans are,

1089
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, this hypocritical party of family values, and literally

1090
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: nobody in this party has any family values, right exact,

1091
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I think it's on the table.

1092
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 5: I'll say, their values only apply to the opposition, right exactly, if.

1093
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 8: They have they have the talking points.

1094
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 4: He references his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in this hearing,

1095
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 4: and it almost for me, I'm a Christian. When he says,

1096
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 4: you know, well I've been Basically the argument is I've

1097
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 4: been redeemed.

1098
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 8: Well, that's hard to argue with. I can't. I can't

1099
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 8: make that case.

1100
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 4: What I can say is that you've had consistent lapses

1101
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 4: in judgment, and those are the kinds of things that

1102
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 4: we should call into question for someone leading accountant.

1103
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 5: Certainly the defense of the United States of America, right,

1104
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 5: this is in the Preamble providing for the common defense.

1105
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 5: And if the guy is compromised, that's a problem, and

1106
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 5: the need to make sure that his skeletons are out

1107
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 5: is pretty pre eminent for this Senate because, as you

1108
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 5: already pointed out, Angela, the purpose behind that is not

1109
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 5: to make sure that you are a perfect person. It

1110
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 5: is simply to ensure that something you've done cannot be

1111
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 5: held over your head. And you basically use the full

1112
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 5: weight and power of the defense of the United States

1113
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 5: as a negotiating or bargaining tool to keep your secret secret.

1114
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I.

1115
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: We talked about this before when we were talking about

1116
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: who would be our Scotis pics, and Angela was like,

1117
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: don't put me on Scots. I don't want to be

1118
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: on Scots. But she did say she would love to

1119
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: do the confirmation hearing. I think I would like to

1120
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: do a confirmation here.

1121
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 3: I rat for one of those.

1122
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 5: With Democrats in charge.

1123
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 8: Though, let's practice, let's pragup for one.

1124
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 3: I want Nancy Mays to ask me a question.

1125
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 8: Because she's not a senator.

1126
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's true. That's the how, that's true. Okay, on

1127
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: the Senate side, do I want to come for me?

Speaker 4: Tip, miss Cross, you have repeatedly said that you are

1147
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 4: a sports expert. When I reviewed your resume, I see

1148
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 4: no uh sports employment history. I see no internship. I

1149
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,960

1152
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 4: I'd like to know what you would do for this country.

1153
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 4: You'reclaiming my time, black man, who I don't even think

1154
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 4: you should be here in this.

1155
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 5: Can be a little bit reclaiming time, Senator.

1156
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get to my question, Chairman, that's my question,

1157
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 4: Please mute.

1158
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 8: Is my miscross you my answer?

1159
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: I think if she asked me something like that, honestly,

1160
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: I would point out her own hypocrisy and how she

1161
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: has handled.

1162
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, every every.

1163
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would punctuate the point that I would

1164
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: sarcastically say, I know how important qualifications are to you,

1165
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: given that you voted to confirm Pete Headsats and accuse.

1166
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 3: Somebody accused of sexual assault.

1167
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: I know how important this is you, given that you

1168
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: voted to confirm Jeff Sessions, somebody who was a known racist.

1169
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 3: You know I would go through their own record each.

1170
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 5: Time, and sports events that have women.

1171
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Well, honestly, honestly, but.

1172
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: STONE think that people would come at me with sports

1173
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: because they know I would level them on.

1174
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 3: Anything they want to. They don't want to. They don't

1175
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 3: want to do that.

1176
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 8: Good, but they don't want to come for you.

1177
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 3: Yeah you would work for.

1178
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, Okay, I'm gonna go first because y'all

1179
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: people not gonna like mine, and I'm gonna go with

1180
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: mine anyway.

1181
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 3: I do.

1182
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: I am so disheartened by what is happening in LA

1183
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: and the fires, and I have to say, you all

1184
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: know I love animals, and I have seen people fight

1185
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: through firemen to get their dogs, their pitbulls, their cats,

1186
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: like all their animals out, and I'm thinking about all

1187
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the little creatures who lost their life in the trees

1188
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: and whatnot.

1189
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 3: And I've seen so many animal rescues.

1190
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: So I just want to say, for the people who

1191
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: are pet owners and those of you who are, you

1192
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: know they're your fur babies. You care about them. I

1193
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: follow black people pets. It is the best thing online.

1194
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: The way these black folks were talking to them dogs

1195
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: like they birth them. I just want to say, let's

1196
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: not forget about people's fur babies. Because people are without

1197
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: dog food, cat food.

1198
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 3: Some people lost their for babies.

1199
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: And I know that human life is the most important thing,

1200
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: but I am my heart goes out to people who

1201
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: are struggling with their horses, their animals. I don't want

1202
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: to see animals burned in a fire or just left stranded.

1203
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: So if you would be willing to consider donating, if

1204
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: you know people with pets sending them whatever you can

1205
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: to make sure they're for babies, are okay.

1206
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 5: Well, my quick call to action is, folks, we have

1207
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 5: given you grace. We are now at week two January,

1210
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 5: at least past inauguration. But once we get past inauguration,

1211
