I never thought that I would be in 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 5: a space where number one, I would have to clap 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 5: back on somebody like that, like in a committee, but 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 5: number two, that people would actually pick it up and 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 5: start educating people through song. 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 4: So yeah, they educated. 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 5: Them about you know, Maga and Marge and all of them. 22 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 5: So I appreciate it for what it is, but you're right, 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 5: I'm so much more than that, and I appreciate that 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 5: way before B six came around, like you understood, like 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 5: the fights that I was waging for everyday people. 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: Well, let's break down for people that that don't understand 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: what happened that day because we only seen clips. So 28 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: what happened that day in front of Congress, So what happened? 29 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 2: Break down everything that was going on. 30 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 5: Okay, So imagine that y'all skip out on work, because 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 5: that's what the Republicans did. They decided to skip out 32 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 5: on work. So we were supposed to have a hearing 33 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 5: about our Attorney General, Merrit Garland, and they basically want 34 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 5: to lock him up. But instead what they did is 35 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 5: they came to New York and they sat with Trump 36 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 5: and coddled him while he was in trial, trying to 37 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 5: make sure he did not get locked up. So they 38 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 5: then said, you know what, since we decided we was 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 5: going to skip work, we're going to do our work 40 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 5: at eight pm. So we Democrats have been on the 41 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 5: hill all day. They come back, we go into a 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 5: hearing so that they could hold him make consense. We 43 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 5: get in a here and Marjorie Taylor Green, the gentle 44 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 5: lady from Georgia, started talking about Judge Marshan, And I 45 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 5: was like, girl, do you know why we're here, because 46 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 5: like literally like I'm already feeling away because I've been 47 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 5: there all day while y'all was playing up in New York, 48 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 5: like go talk in front of those cameras about Judge 49 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 5: Marshan and say what you got to say or whatever, 50 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 5: because they were trying to get around the gag order. 51 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 5: But I'm like, we're here to talk about this, say 52 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 5: whatever you want to say about the Attorney General. 53 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: And so she then came in me. 54 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 5: Was like, well, do you know why we're here? And 55 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 5: she decided she want us to talk about my eyelashes? 56 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 5: And I was like, girl, you haven't like looked at yourself. 57 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 5: But I didn't get up. I didn't, you know, immediately 58 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 5: say anything. I tried to follow the rules. 59 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: They let that slide do it. I was kind of 60 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: upset about that because. 61 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 5: That was the thing they did let us slide, and 62 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 5: it was against the rules. So we have this rule 63 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 5: talking about like personalities, you're not allowed to engage in personalities. 64 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 4: Basically I can't talk noise. 65 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: And why she makes it seem like your last you 66 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: so long when you got twenty five ms. 67 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 4: What a minute, I'm mad that you know the links. 68 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 5: Nevertheless, Weekend, you know what, even if I got it, 69 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 5: don't matter, it don't matter, like you're doing the most. 70 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 5: And honestly, you only came for me because I'm a 71 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 5: black woman, because there are white women. In fact, one 72 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 5: of my white female colleagues came up to me and 73 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 5: was like, I may need to bleach my hair, but 74 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 5: I'm not getting rid of my lashes. And so she 75 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 5: was like, you know, Marge would never say anything to 76 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 5: me about my lashes, because she does she wears lashes 77 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 5: or whatever. So I'm just like girl, And and my 78 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 5: initial retort, what I wanted to say is you may 79 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 5: still have your husband if you were some lashes. 80 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: But nevertheless, but but I did not do that. I 81 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 4: did not do that. 82 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 5: And AOC jumped in almost immediately, and AOC was like, yo, 83 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 5: this is against the rules. 84 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: But Comer decided I'm gonna let it slide. 85 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 5: And of course, it to me is like what we 86 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 5: always experienced it as black women. It's like, you know what, 87 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 5: somebody punched you, but that's okay. You'll be all right. 88 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: Girls, sit there and take it. But here's the deal. 89 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 5: We on the same level, and I'm not gonna sit there. 90 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 5: And so I wanted to exemplify number one. If this 91 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 5: is how you're going to conduct these hearings, I just 92 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 5: want you to know that it's gonna be some real 93 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 5: smoke coming from our side, right, And so I did 94 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 5: not direct my words to her. I didn't even say 95 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 5: her name question which I asked a question. I asked 96 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 5: a parliamentary question, and I did it in a somewhat 97 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 5: poetic way, and so you know, it ended up immediately 98 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 5: taking off. My pastor actually called me while I was 99 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 5: in committee. 100 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 4: Listen. I was like, so, for y'all that don't know, 101 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 4: my pastor is Freddie Haynes. Yeah he is. And so 102 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 4: I was like, why he calling me? 103 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 5: But it was late at night, so I declined it, 104 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 5: and so I was like, I'm in comedee. 105 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 4: He was like I know, and I'm like, well, why 106 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: are you calling me? 107 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: You said god the voicemail. 108 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 5: And so then he was like, yo, you have to 109 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 5: give me a warning before you say and then he 110 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 5: went into the phrase. So I was like, did my 111 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 5: team put this on the internet because it literally was 112 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 5: while I was still in committee.

But nevertheless, I 150 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 5: know my district and how is it. I'm gonna say 151 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 5: that I'm gonna fight for you, and I can't fight 152 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 5: for myself. So I'm not going to sit here and 153 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 5: allow the likes of a Marjorie Taylor Green to sit 154 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 5: there and clown me. But I did try to go 155 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 5: through the process, which is something that she ignored. She's 156 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 5: always ignored the rules. I at least was trying to 157 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 5: follow the rules, but once they failed, I still never 158 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 5: got outside of the rules. 159 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 4: But it's about. 160 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 5: Doing what they are trying to do and doing it 161 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 5: better and doing it right. 162 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 4: And that's exactly what I did. 163 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 5: And I think that the Democrats have all the intellect 164 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 5: on our side, so we can always do it better 165 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 5: and smarter. It's a matter of are we going to 166 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 5: But do you have. 167 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: The courage like you showed courage?

And that black 226 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 5: woman was absolutely right because you know, Marjorie want to 227 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 5: talk like big and bad and comedian and she's like, oh, 228 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 5: did I hurt your feelings and all of that, but 229 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: she ain't have nothing to say when that black woman 230 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 5: came through the airport and was like, oh so you 231 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 5: ain't like that, huh sure? 232 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know with the first lady, it's interesting, right 233 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 3: because the phrase when they go low, we go high. 234 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: I feel like that applied to time that she was 235 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four and probably beyond. It is a 236 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 3: totally different time. 237 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 5: It is a different time, But I also want people 238 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 5: to evaluate the lens in what she was working from. 239 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 5: She was the only black First Lady right like this, 240 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 5: She's on a level up here. And what was happening 241 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 5: is you had all of these trolls that were online 242 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 5: and they were saying all kinds of things. They were 243 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 5: calling her all types of animals, they were talking about 244 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 5: her appearance, they were doing all the things that racist 245 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 5: people do, right, is trying to tear her down physically 246 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 5: because they could not match her intellectually whatsoever. But what 247 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 5: does it look like if the First Lady is literally 248 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 5: lowering herself to respond to somebody that is hiding behind 249 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 5: a keyboard and got five followers, Like that is literally 250 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 5: going low? 251 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 4: You are lower than her. 252 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 5: But what we're talking about in this scenario, like which 253 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 5: other First Ladies were trying to come at her and 254 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 5: talk about her, That's not what that was. But literally 255 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 5: we're on the same level, we have the same space 256 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 5: that we occupy. So this isn't about going low to low. 257 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 5: But as Simone Sanders says, it's about going toe to toe. 258 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: Now, what is your thoughts on I know you got 259 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: don't have much time, you gotta cautch your flight Donald 260 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: Trump's conviction, But what's your thoughts on that? 261 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: And is that gonna does that help? You want to say? 262 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 4: Listen, you know, I don't know who I mean it. 263 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 5: I guess it made it worse since you know, those 264 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 5: broke people decided that they was going to get a 265 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 5: last five dollars and donate to him and crash his 266 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 5: website to the extent that he got a bunch more 267 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 5: money just to pay for his appeals process, not to 268 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 5: go into the election. I think that you know, for 269 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 5: a lot of us who have seen him play in 270 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 5: our face and having the audacity to say, I'm gonna 271 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 5: plan in your face and I'm gonna get away with it, 272 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 5: which is what he's always said to us, even before 273 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 5: he ever got caught up, I think that it was 274 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 5: a good moment for white privilege to recognize that, like, 275 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 5: you can get the smoke too in this country. But 276 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 5: I also think that it's a really sad moment in 277 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 5: our country because we really are only a two party system. 278 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 5: For those that don't know, a third party person ain't 279 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 5: gonna win presidency, at least not this term, right, Like 280 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 5: you're not even gonna get on all of the ballots 281 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 5: to be able to get it, Like there's a lot 282 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 5: of reasons, like so they're not gonna win. So it's 283 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 5: between Joe and it's between Trump and the fact that 284 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 5: we have someone who has thirty four felony counts of 285 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 5: worth of convictions and literally there's places. Eric Walwell just 286 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 5: brought this up and committee. He's like, it's the whole 287 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 5: list of countries you can't even go to. So how 288 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 5: are you going to be the leader of the free 289 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 5: world and you're not even allowed to but in certain 290 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 5: countries because you're a convicted felon, you. 291 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: Can't go to Toronto. 292 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 4: There's a lot. He went through a whole list of 293 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: like places can't go to Japan. 294 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: What do they amend to where I don't know, I 295 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 3: want to stay in the future, But how do you 296 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: make it to where that can't happen when you can't 297 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: have all of those convictions still be president. 298 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 4: That's that's legislation. 299 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 5: I mean, I think that our never contemplated that, right, 300 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 5: because he can't be a city councilman, he can't be 301 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 5: a mayor. 302 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 4: He can't sit on a school board, he can't do 303 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: states correct. 304 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 5: So I just don't think that our framers really contemplated 305 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 5: some of this. It's just like we have a bunch 306 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 5: of January sixers that are running for Congress right now, Like, 307 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 5: because the only thing you can run for and have 308 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 5: convictions on your record is to get six figures from 309 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 5: the federal government. That is the only thing that you 310 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 5: can do. And you know, I think that Trump could 311 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 5: have an opportunity. I think that he really is again 312 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 5: planning our face like, oh yeah, black people, they gonna 313 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 5: feel me because I got convictions. To bro It's completely different. 314 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 5: Number one. Number two, I think that you could have 315 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 5: a real conversation, like I've worked on ban thebox type 316 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 5: of legislation that would at least allow people to get 317 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 5: an opportunity to get in do that interview, like what 318 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 5: legislation do you want to pass based upon the experience 319 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 5: that you're saying that you had personally, there is legislation 320 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 5: that could help people, especially when we start talking about 321 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 5: those that have a record. So many people aren't able 322 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 5: to go to college because of their record. They're not 323 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 5: able to well, they can't get the funding. Let me 324 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 5: say that they aren't able to get certain housing because 325 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 5: they have a record, They aren't able to qualify for 326 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 5: so many jobs because they have a record, and we're 327 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 5: talking about hourly jobs. So I think that there is 328 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: a good opportunity. But MAGA isn't really about their life. 329 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 5: They're not about critical thinking, They're not about providing solutions 330 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 5: for other people. They just don't want their cult leader 331 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 5: to have to deal with a life of policies that 332 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 5: have forever consistently held black and brown communities down. 333 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: You know that narrative that black people, black men in particular, 334 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: are supporting Trump because he's a criminal. You know that 335 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 3: came from the right Like that wasn't a narrative that 336 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 3: started in our communities in any way shape beforem The 337 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: right wing media started that narrative. Trump started that narrative, 338 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: And now you have a few people adopting it, and 339 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 3: I don't understand why. 340 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I absolutely don't believe it. 341 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 5: And maybe for those that have never interacted with us, 342 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 5: it probably is easy for them to believe or for 343 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 5: them to pairt. But I talk to real people now, 344 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 5: will I say that there are some people that are 345 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 5: turned off and they're saying I don't want to vote 346 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 5: at all. I will absolutely say that I run into 347 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 5: that where people are like, yo, I just don't really 348 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 5: feel like either party is doing anything for me, so 349 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 5: what's the point? 350 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 4: Right? 351 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 5: I do run into that type of conversation, but I 352 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 5: don't run into a conversation where people are like, oh, yeah, 353 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 5: so I'm just gonna go out and vote for Trump. 354 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: Like I see it online a little bit, but I 355 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 4: feel like we don't know what's real and what's not 356 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 4: because we know that China as well as Russia have 357 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 4: consistently tried to interfere with our elections by doing so 358 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 4: much online. So I don't know how many of these 359 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 4: accounts are real or not. But like, I have a 360 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 4: majority black district when I go home, I'm not dealing 361 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 4: with it. They just like, I'm not really sure that 362 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 4: I really want to vote that much. 363 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 3: How do you think people understand that? People don't understand 364 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 3: when you say I'm not feeling any of this right now. 365 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 3: It doesn't mean, hey, I'm leaving from the Democratic Party to. 366 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 4: Go on correct vote for Donald Trump. 367 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 3: It's like I'm part of the exhausted majority of Yeah. 368 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: That is a problem though, right, because it is I'm 369 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: not voting for you know, the Democrats side, then you 370 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: allow more people to vote Republicans. 371 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: So I was going to ask or they may not 372 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: vote at all. That could be a problem. 373 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, But like when we're talking about a numbers game, 374 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 4: like if. 375 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 5: We decide to stay at home, right, like I'm headed 376 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 5: to Detroit here in a second, right, Like I got 377 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 5: to get to Detroit. I got to make sure that 378 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 5: I'm talking to people because one of the things I 379 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 5: think we run into is like we want to beat 380 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 5: up on people and be like, yo, you gotta go 381 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 5: vote because people die, which is true, right, Like I 382 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 5: feel that I get it, right, But if you didn't 383 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 5: see your mother, your father, your grandparents like marching, like, 384 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 5: you're not necessarily so connected to that, right, And it's 385 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 5: a matter of informing people, like what is. 386 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 4: Voting get me? What do I get out of this? 387 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Right? 388 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 5: And so I like to tell people, like I know 389 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 5: that they try to blame the president for everything that's 390 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 5: bad in their lives and usually don't really give them 391 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 5: credit for anything that's good in their lives. But it's 392 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 5: not just the president, Like you know, the fact is 393 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 5: right now, House Democrats are some of the most popular 394 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 5: people in politics right now, like it's looking to the House, 395 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 5: it's looking to the Senate. It takes all of us 396 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 5: because the president can't really do much by himself. He 397 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 5: just did an executive order as it relates to the 398 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 5: border and immigration, and so now people are like, well, 399 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 5: that's too late or that ain't enough. 400 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 4: You're right. 401 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 5: It takes legislation, and that's what he tried to do. 402 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 5: They had legislation that was ready to go that he 403 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 5: was going to sign into law. But he can't do 404 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 5: it all on his own, and so chances are there 405 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 5: will potentially be litigation as it relates to the executive order. 406 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 5: But at least the president can say I tried, because 407 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 5: Trump is the one that said, hire Republicans, follow me, 408 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 5: I'm your leader. Do not allow this legislation to go forward, 409 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 5: even though they worked collaboratively in the way that government 410 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 5: is supposed to work. So I just want to say that, listen, 411 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 5: people need to recognize their power and they need to 412 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 5: start showing up and telling people listening, you work from me, 413 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 5: because that's what it is. I serve at the pleasure 414 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 5: of the people, and you need to start telling people 415 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 5: what it is that you want and what it is 416 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 5: that you need, and when they. 417 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 4: Don't give it to you vote them out. Like that's 418 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 4: just it's very simple. 419 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 5: But I don't think that people really understand what all 420 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 5: we can do right, Like they don't understand Like we 421 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 5: talked about SNAP benefits last time I was here. We 422 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 5: had a whole like thirteen hour markup where the Republicans 423 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 5: are like, we're not gonna do this. 424 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: So I made it clear. 425 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 5: I was like, you know that like more a rural 426 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 5: America uses SNAP benefits than urban America. So I was like, 427 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 5: I do want to be clear that I'm fighting for 428 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 5: my constituents, but I'm also fighting for yours. And so 429 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 5: many of these Republicans talked about, well, yeah, I was 430 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 5: raised on SNAP, so you forgot or you just don't care, 431 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 5: Like I don't understand what's going on. But like when 432 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 5: people are talking about the cost of food being so high, 433 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 5: part of that we can control, part of that we 434 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 5: can do something about, but we definitely can do something 435 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 5: about making sure that we put a few more dollars 436 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 5: in your pocket, or the child tax credit, like people got, 437 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 5: you know, an extra three hundred dollars a child. They 438 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 5: didn't really know why they were getting that. They didn't 439 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 5: know where it came from. But that was this administration 440 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 5: that was saying, hey, we're going to give you this 441 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 5: child text credit. It cut African American child poverty into half, right. 442 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 5: But then the Republicans ended up in control of the 443 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 5: House and they like, yeah, so we not about that life, 444 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 5: but their constituents in rural America needed it too. So 445 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 5: we did a little compromise of something. And there's a 446 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 5: little something that's coming down the pipe, but it's not enough, right, 447 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 5: So like we have to let people know you actually 448 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 5: received extra money. And that was this administration understanding that 449 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 5: it was hard. 450 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 3: You have to let people know that because you know, 451 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 3: people are still stuck on the stimulus checks and they. 452 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 5: Still they're still on the stemmis. And everybody got arrested 453 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 5: for PPP. 454 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: Well, because we gotta go. She got a flight, that's true. 455 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 3: One more question, why are you the only person in 456 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 3: the Democratic Party who seems to understand that the language 457 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 3: of politics is dead? 458 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 5: I don't know that I'm the only person us very well, 459 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 5: and you messaged to where people can understand like my 460 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 5: little one of my one of the little minte's. 461 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: I don't want to say little. She's a grown woman, 462 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 3: but she's not quite thirty yet. But she saw you 463 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 3: in Georgia last week. Oh yeah, yeah, and she literally 464 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: sent me a video of you talking because you said 465 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 3: to the people, you should go out there and support 466 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 3: this administration. This administration has done a lot, you know. 467 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 3: I think you told them go google what they've done. 468 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 3: You probably don't know what they've done because they've done 469 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 3: so much. And she was like, I need Jasmine to 470 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 3: tell me, you know what exactly they did. But I'm 471 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 3: saying all that to say, they're listening to you and 472 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: want to hear what you have to say. Did you 473 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: message very well? 474 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 4: I think that. 475 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 5: I think it's really my legal training, right, Like I 476 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 5: would walk into juries all over and when you walk 477 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 5: in and you're talking to a jury, you're talking to 478 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 5: every day people. But I have legal principles that I 479 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 5: have to translate, and so I had to know like 480 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 5: what the law was, but I had to I couldn't talk. 481 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 4: To you in legal leese. I had to be able 482 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 4: to translate for you. 483 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 5: And so one of my best friends from law school 484 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 5: and in law school, we have this dictionary called the 485 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 5: Blacks Law Dictionary. And so when we were in law school. 486 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 5: He'd be like, Yo, I don't understand what happened in class. 487 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 5: I need you to give me the Black's law version. 488 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 5: And so I'd be like, so when yo, cousin Pookie like, 489 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 5: I will, so I would break it down right. But 490 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 5: I think that we do get caught up on the language, 491 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 5: and the reality is that most everyday people don't live 492 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 5: in our bubble. So we have to make sure that 493 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 5: we're communicating in a way that they understand and we're 494 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 5: doing the work. But we also need to do some 495 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 5: media training. I just talked about that. I'm like, we 496 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 5: need everybody to do media training. I haven't had any, 497 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 5: but because I have been consistently in front of audiences 498 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 5: for years, I think that I know how to maneuver 499 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 5: a little bit. But you never know when, like the 500 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 5: next tornado or whatever is coming through your community, and 501 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 5: you have to get in front of a camera, and 502 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 5: you need to be able to communicate with the people 503 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 5: that you serve and make them understand what you're saying 504 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 5: in a very digestible and very quick way. We don't 505 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 5: talk and sound bites either. Like Democrats believe in giving 506 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 5: you the entire project twenty twenty five, like they want 507 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 5: to give you like a full thesis, because we do 508 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 5: put a lot of thought into stuff. It's why we 509 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 5: don't do well on messaging on immigration. Immigration has so 510 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 5: many layers and it's so complicated, and we want to 511 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 5: tell everybody, and it's like we can't do that, Like, 512 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 5: let's just go ahead and keep it simple. There's nothing 513 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 5: simple about immigration, nothing at all. But the simple messaging 514 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 5: is winning even if it's not true. And that's the 515 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 5: other thing. Republicans will lie. They will lie just to 516 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 5: put something out there, and Democrats are like trying. 517 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 4: To prove why they're lying. And it's like when't got 518 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: time for it, just slap them down or something. 519 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 3: I just listen to people, like you said, like I've 520 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: repeated things that I've heard and seen activists in Chicago 521 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 3: talking about in regards to you know, the border, what 522 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: I've heard and seen people hearing New York talking about 523 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 3: when it comes to you know, immigration. So it's like 524 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 3: I'm repeating what the people are saying. Yeah, you can't 525 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: chalk that up as MAGA messaging. 526 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 4: No, no, no, you can't. 527 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 5: And we have to listen, like even if people don't understand, 528 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 5: like why this or that is happening. We have to 529 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 5: we can't make people feel uncomfortable with talking to us. 530 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 5: We have to listen to them and say we understand, 531 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 5: and then we have to do our best to educate 532 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 5: them on what it is that we can and what 533 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 5: we can't do, because some people think that we can 534 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 5: fix it all and we can't, or they think they 535 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 5: don't realize that, like nothing's getting fixed because the Republicans 536 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 5: control the House, Democrats kind of control the Senate, and 537 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 5: then we have the president. Like it takes an entire team. 538 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 5: And that's the message that I'm sending everybody is like, 539 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 5: don't just worry about the top. 540 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 4: You need to worry about all the way down to 541 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 4: the state house. 542 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 5: Right now, in the state of Sexas, they're like, you 543 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 5: know what we want to bring about the death penalty 544 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 5: for women that seek abortions. 545 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 4: They literally want you to choose death or death. That 546 00:23:59,119 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 4: is insane. 547 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 5: So the President of the United States, unless he has 548 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 5: a Democratic House and Senate, he can't fix what the 549 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 5: state of Texas is doing. So you absolutely have to 550 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 5: pay attention to who also is on the state level 551 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 5: that you're voting for. So I just want people when 552 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,239 Speaker 5: I said Google, I was trying to make sure that 553 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 5: people understand that they also have an obligation, right, Like, 554 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 5: we have to do our part. We have to educate, 555 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 5: we have to communicate. It costs a lot of money 556 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 5: for us to communicate. You got to spend millions and 557 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 5: millions of dollars to get on cable TV, to get 558 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 5: on broadcast TV, to get on radio. You have to 559 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 5: do a lot to communicate to people. To send mail. 560 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 5: You don't have to do as much to do it 561 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,239 Speaker 5: on social media, but it takes a lot, Right. But 562 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 5: I also want people to start understanding that they also 563 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 5: have an obligation. 564 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 4: This is your vote. 565 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 5: If I'm out there telling you to vote for me, 566 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna tell you the bad stuff about me. 567 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 4: I'm gonna just sell myself to you. Right. 568 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 5: But just like when you go buy a car, it's like, 569 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 5: you know what, that car is good and this and 570 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 5: that and whatever. The car salesman gonna tell you everything amazing. 571 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 5: You got to do your research and you got to 572 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 5: find out where this car last and that kind of stuff. 573 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 4: So I just also want to. 574 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 5: Encourage people to just jump on Google and do a 575 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 5: little bit of research as well. 576 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 3: Is it true to after the B six comments happen, 577 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: the Vice President called you and just laughed and hung 578 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 3: up the phone. 579 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 4: She did not call and laugh. 580 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 5: But I will tell you that I love our Vice 581 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 5: President and she is very protective, specifically in my opinion. 582 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 5: I mean she may be protective with some other people, 583 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 5: but of us as black women. 584 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 4: So she does call to check. 585 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 5: She will have us come over to her residence and 586 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 5: want to sit down and have a very real conversation 587 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 5: about our challenges because she also experiences. 588 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 4: A lot of this. 589 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 5: So I feel like we have an amazing sister circle 590 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 5: with the Vice President because no matter how big she is, 591 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 5: she always takes the time. And I'm sitting there like 592 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 5: you're checking out me, like because I know how they 593 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 5: come for her throat, you know, while we're. 594 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: Waiting for her to have her own clapbacks. Because we 595 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 3: saw her in those sitting hearings back in the day. 596 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 3: We know that's in her. If you ever sat down 597 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: with the VP, you know that's in her. 598 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 4: No, the VP's she's got it. 599 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 5: And obviously she was a trial lawyer as well, and 600 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 5: she's a black woman, so like she's got it. I 601 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 5: do want people to understand that when it comes to 602 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 5: the vice presidential role, it is a supporting cast member. 603 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 5: And I think that because she is the first of 604 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 5: her kind, and because we there were people that went 605 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 5: out and said, I'm voting because they want us to 606 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 5: vote for her. 607 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: I want to vote. 608 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, there were a lot of people that did that. 609 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 4: So I think that people want more of her than 610 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 4: like the actual role allows for. 611 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 5: He calls for at times, right like when I In fact, 612 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 5: when I was in Atlanta, one of the things I said, 613 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 5: I was like, most people can't even name five of 614 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 5: the vice presidents, right like they can't, like they don't 615 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 5: know of the vice presidents because it's always been a 616 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 5: supporting cast member. And I think that unfortunately, just like 617 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 5: almost everything in black folks lives and definitely in black 618 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 5: women's lives, so much more is expected of us. And 619 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 5: I don't want us to do that to her. I 620 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 5: do want us to allow her to be a traditional 621 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 5: vice president, which is a supporting cast member. But at 622 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 5: the same time, I know that she recognizes that we 623 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 5: are all voting for her, which means that we want 624 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 5: to see her, we want to hear from her. Because 625 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 5: there were people that showed up and voted because she 626 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 5: was on the. 627 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: Phone, was one of them. I said, I never said 628 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 3: I was voting for President Biden. I said I was 629 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: voting because of I always heard that. 630 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 5: And I do want to be clear because people talk 631 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 5: about like there's no excitement, and I was like, do 632 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 5: y'all remember it was it was Uncle Cliburne. It was 633 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 5: Congressman Clyburne that basically kind of got things. 634 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,479 Speaker 4: Shifted around, right. 635 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 5: I mean that was when there was a shift, And 636 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 5: so I was like, y'all weren't excited before, Like this 637 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 5: was a matter of people showing up and saying, you 638 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 5: know what, I gotta do the responsible thing. This is 639 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 5: the responsible thing for the country, right, And so now 640 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 5: for people to want all this excitement, I was like, y'all, 641 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 5: weren't excited four years ago. 642 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 4: It was about doing the responsible thing. Now. 643 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 5: I can't say what's going to happen four years from now, 644 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 5: but I can say that, like when you look at 645 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 5: being responsible, when you look at the black wealth gap, actually, 646 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 5: you know, finally starting to close it up a little bit, 647 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 5: we still are nowhere near where we need to be. 648 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 5: When you look at the amount of debt that has 649 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 5: been relieved from black folks, specifically when it comes to 650 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 5: sude long debt. When you look at the fact that 651 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 5: this president has been on the picket lines and making 652 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 5: sure that those in Detroit in any other place where 653 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 5: there are, they are manufacturing cars, and he is fighting 654 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 5: with them to make sure that they get higher wages. 655 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 5: When you look at the fact that you know Migranny, 656 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 5: she has sugar diabetes. 657 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 4: Is they used to call it right? 658 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 5: Making sure that people can actually afford their life saving medications. 659 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 5: I can tell you that not everything in this world 660 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 5: has been fixed. But I can tell you that there's 661 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 5: one team that is fighting every single day to make 662 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 5: this world better, and there's another team that literally wants 663 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 5: to delete our humanity and look at us and act 664 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 5: as if we are not.
