But we don't have any hearings this early. 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 3: I just want to be weird. Nothing starts before ten o'clock. 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: How are you, first and foremost? How you feeling? 12 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 3: I'm over it. It's only been what has it been 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: thirty days? Yet this bol this fool is driving me crazy. 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: Do you eat sleeping?

I don't want to think about it. 18 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: I don't want to do nothing as much as I 19 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 3: don't want to think about it. I definitely stop watching 20 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 3: the news as much as I used to. But people 21 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 3: are like DM and me. They're sending me emails. We're 22 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 3: constantly getting phone calls, So no, I don't turn off. 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: Is there anything good that this administration has done so 24 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: far anything that you can say, well, at least that's 25 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: a good thing. 26 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 3: Huh. 27 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Not nothing. 28 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 4: I saw Bernie Sanders post yesterday about he likes what 29 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 4: Trump is attempting to do with the Pentagon by auditing them. 30 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 3: And stuff like that, attempting let's see it happen. Here's 31 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: the reality. I serve on the Oversight Committee. That's where 32 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: all the drama typically happens. And we've had Department of 33 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 3: Defense come before us a number of times. The vast 34 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: majority of the waste, fraught, and abuse that we have 35 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: in this country is Department of Defense. You can google 36 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: and find out that at some point in time we 37 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: were spending like one thousand dollars per toilet or something. 38 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 3: So that's where we see these inflated costs. That's where 39 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 3: we have a lot of contractors, that's where they play 40 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 3: a lot of games. That's where Elin gets the vast 41 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: majority of his money is out of Defense. And when 42 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: they come before us and we ask them about their audit, 43 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: they haven't had a clean audit in the last six 44 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: times we've asked for an audit. So the fact that 45 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: they're going to start with people that are getting six 46 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: dollars a day to eat, or they want to go 47 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: after the little old lady that's just trying to get 48 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: her little health care and they believe that that's what 49 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 3: the savings is. That's not where the savings is. Nor 50 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: is it going after career civil servants and saying, oh, 51 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: let me take your coins, let me take your job. 52 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 3: Because when we add up, even if we fired everybody 53 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 3: that works for the federal government, it's only maybe four 54 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: or five percent of our budget, but over or approximately 55 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: fifty percent of our discretionary budget is defense, and they 56 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 3: can't pass an audit. So why we didn't start there 57 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: where Elon has decided that he was going to get 58 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: two new contracts just in two weeks, one for four 59 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars to Tesla, another for a little over 60 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 3: three hundred million dollars to SpaceX. I don't know why 61 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: we didn't start there, but it seems like we could 62 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: find a lot of waste, fraud and abuse because again 63 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: they've not been able to pass an audit. 64 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: There is a lot of waste for fraud and abuse 65 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: in the federal government. 66 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: Though I'm not going to say that there's a lot. 67 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: I'm going to say that it does exist. I'm going 68 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: to say that exist. I don't think that there's a lot. 69 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: I think we're in debt because we decide that we're 70 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: going to reduce the income. Right, So under Trump and 71 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 3: his first administration, we went into debt eight trillion dollars. Now, 72 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: he wanted to say it was because of COVID, it 73 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: really wasn't. Obviously there was money that we sent out 74 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 3: because people were in need during COVID to make sure 75 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: that we didn't go into a recession. But at the 76 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: end of the day, it was because he said, oh, 77 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: wait a minute, that income, We're gonna stop bringing that 78 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 3: in from the top one percenters. Well, those Trump tax 79 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 3: cuts they expire right about now, and he's trying to 80 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: reinstitute them. So here it is. You've got Elon Muss 81 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: running around Tomason, I'm cutting this, I'm slashing this, I'm 82 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: doing this and that and da da da, all this 83 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. Right. I do want to be clear 84 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: that at the same time, they're saying, but we got 85 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: to raise the debt limit, Well, why do you have 86 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: to raise the debt limit if we are saving all 87 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: this money? You know why? Because they actually want to 88 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: deepen the tax cuts for all those billionaires that were 89 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: sitting on stage with him on January twentieth. Those guys 90 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 3: are looking to keep more money in their pocket. That 91 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: is why it's why we ran into debt last time. 92 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: It's why we're going to run into debt again. The 93 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: only time that we've had a budget that was clean 94 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: and we didn't have to worry about debt. You know 95 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: who was in office, Bill Clinton? Bill Clinton a Democrat. 96 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: You know what the tax rate was. It was what 97 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris was proposing. That is not the tax rate 98 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 3: that they are looking to do on the one percenters. 99 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: School school me on this too, right, Bill Clinton did 100 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: the National Partnership for Reinventing Government. He essentially elon saying 101 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 4: he's essentially doing the same thing Bill Clinton did. As 102 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 4: far as, like, you know, making the government smaller or 103 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: more efficient. You know, what do you say to that, 104 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: what's the difference between what Clinton did in the nineties 105 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 4: and what he s So there was. 106 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: A lot that's different. But I do want to start 107 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: with because I actually looked at the numbers, we really 108 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: work kind of big. We actually had more people working 109 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: in the federal government when Bill Clinton was in office 110 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: initially than we have now, you know the differences. The 111 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 3: country's just a little bit bigger, right, So chances are 112 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: you would need more. And we're talking about the people 113 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: that are delivering your mail. You're talking about the people 114 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: because all y'all about to start calling us some much 115 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: someone I ain't got my tax refund check? Okay, So 116 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: like firing the irs, we're talking about you know, the 117 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: people that do FAA so the planes don't fall out 118 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 3: the sky, right, So we have a lot more going on, 119 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 3: and we literally don't even have as many people as 120 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: we had working when he came in, so we were 121 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 3: a little kind of bloated when it came down to it. 122 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 3: But also all presidents should have advisors, and that's essentially 123 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 3: what he had, was an advisor. What they have said 124 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: is that Elon is the one that cut off the 125 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: spicett of money, like this is after money was appropriated 126 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: and then he's like, oh no, no, no, you can't get 127 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: that money. And now people are dying in other countries 128 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: because USAID has stopped. And I want to be clear 129 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: about something. You can shut down USAID if you want to, 130 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: but that has to be done congressionally, Okay. That's number one. 131 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 3: Number two, USAID is less than one percent of our budget. 132 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: So they over here talking about something, Oh, they handing 133 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: out condoms and they doing this and all this kind 134 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: of stuff. It's literally less than one percent of our 135 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: budget because they don't want you to pay attention to 136 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: the over ninety nine percent of the budget, where yes, 137 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: I would say most of the waste, fraud, and abuse 138 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 3: is actually still at the hands of somebody like Elon Musk. 139 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 3: Like these bootleg trucks that he decided that he was 140 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: going to sell the federal government. I think maybe at 141 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars. I don't know what the price 142 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: is per truck or whatever. But he's selling these trucks 143 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: at the same time that he's getting rid of all 144 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 3: the people that were conducting investigations over him about Tesla, 145 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: investigations about SpaceX. He got rid of all those people. 146 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 3: And even in that interview that Trump just did, he's 147 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: like asked by Fox News of all places, right, He's asked, well, 148 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: you know who's going to oversee Elon and make sure 149 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: his conflicts are good? He's like, oh, Elon, is I'm 150 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: my woman in now? Like I mean, because I got 151 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: a whole body of people that's over me, Like I 152 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 3: don't just get to decide what is like right and wrong. 153 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: And honestly, I'm not allowed to take any money, like 154 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: I have to live a very poor life right now, 155 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: right like you're getting paid, I could be getting paid. 156 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 3: I made more money before. I will make more money 157 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: up right now. I am living, not in the overflow, no, 158 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: I mean, oh yeah, yeah, listen, no, no, no. And 159 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: I had to shut them down because first they said 160 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: that I had a husband. No husband, y'all. First they 161 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: said I had a husband, and they said that I 162 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: was paying him half a million dollars to keep me safe. 163 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: And people were like, he should be doing that for free. 164 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't know if y'all mix 165 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 3: up the playground or if y'all just think every black 166 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: girl that comes to Congress brings a husband who has 167 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: to live off. That's not what it is, Okay, No husband, 168 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: never been married, never been engaged, right, that's number one. 169 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: So and they said, well, she's worth nine million dollars 170 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: and she's got all these homes. Let me tell you something. 171 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: When I first got to Congress, about two weeks in, 172 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 3: there was a case that I've been working for seven years. 173 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: It was a civil rights case, one of my last 174 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: two civil rights cases, and I still got one pennant. 175 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: So just so y'all know, if I got to resign, 176 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: I'm a resign. But nevertheless, it goes to trial, I'm 177 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: unable to participate because I'm not supposed to be. But 178 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: I'm in this wine down period. It actually hits for 179 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: about twenty two million dollars. All right, so ethic says 180 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 3: you can't collect your attorneys feel that at all? Now, 181 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: mind you, I worked this case before I ever ran 182 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: for Congress, right, So like that gives you an idea 183 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 3: of how far they go when it comes to the no. 184 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: But here's the deal. I would have resigned and I 185 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: will design. No, I'm not finna play with my money 186 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: like y'all tripping, because I worked on that case for 187 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: seven years. It was against a very small city that 188 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: literally can't pay it. Now, if for some reason and 189 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: they go find the coins, then absolutely I'm resigning, forcing 190 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: a special election and I'll win, right, But I do 191 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: have another one that is penning, and it's pinning against 192 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: the city of Dallas, and the officer in that case 193 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: actually played guilty if the City of Dallas does pay up. 194 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: You heard it here. First, You're resigning, and it will 195 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: be a seven figure payday for me because as an attorney, yeah, 196 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: we do have cases that hit for millions of dollars. 197 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: It's not really that odd. The thing is that I've 198 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: always been a bleeding heart liberal. I have, so I 199 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: was doing more criminal defense than anything. I wasn't really 200 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 3: doing a lot of the big million dollar cases unless 201 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: I was helping out the homies. I've got plenty of 202 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 3: cases where I've gone into court help homies get seven 203 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: figure results. But that never was me. I just wanted 204 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: to be comfortable. And now I got, you know, deal 205 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: with Congress. 206 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: You said you can resign and didn't run again. 207 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: You said, yeah, I'm let my Yeah. Billionaires in Congress 208 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: that part, and they all got upset about this lie. 209 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 3: I'm like, first of all, why y'all mad? If this 210 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 3: what's true? Why is this a problem? It's a problem 211 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 3: just because I'm a black woman for most of them, right, 212 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 3: because they still not mad that Elon literally made another 213 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: one hundred and something billion dollars since the election. Y'all 214 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: not mad at this African man. 215 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 2: A question you think a lot of the stuff that 216 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: Trump is doing now is to quiet that is, well, 217 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: we're possibly gonna give you guys five thousand dollars as 218 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: the district, possibly gonna take the congestion prices. Say hello 219 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: to the king. You think he's doing those things to say, 220 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: you know what, all the rest of our stuff, these 221 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: people won't even check me because I'm doing they think 222 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 2: I'm doing this. 223 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. He knows that they're not going to 224 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: check them, right, Like, I mean, you can go back 225 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 3: and play the clips of him talking about how he 226 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: loves the uneducated. Right if you would ever run for president, 227 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: he was runn as a Republican, like and we know, like, 228 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 3: this isn't me trying to throw shade. These are just 229 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: the facts when you look at who's voting for who 230 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 3: the less educated folks. And when I say educated, I'm 231 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: not even talking about formal education. I'm talking about people 232 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 3: that literally don't want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. 233 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans. 234 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: And it's one of the reasons that we have to 235 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 3: stop writing in theses as Democrats, right, Like, we want 236 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: to give you every single little detail that we can 237 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 3: find so that you can have all the information. But 238 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: the reality is that the average person that is going 239 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: out there and voting, they're not paying attention to that. 240 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: And we fail to realize how selfish people are. People 241 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: go out and they vote in their own self interest, right, 242 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: And so you had all these races that showed up 243 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: and decided that they were going to vote for the 244 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 3: other races because they thought, hey, we are all the same. 245 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 3: But the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay, 246 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: and so when he decided that he was going to 247 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 3: look out for somebody, it was only going to be 248 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: other rich white guys, not the rest of y'all. So 249 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 3: as you're losing your job, as you're losing your medicaid, 250 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: as you're losing your farm, you're feeling a way because 251 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: you're like, wait a minute, you were supposed to go 252 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 3: after the others, not come after us. And now they're saying, oh, well, 253 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: we'll give you a five thousand dollars check. I don't 254 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 3: see it happening right now. That is not a part 255 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: of the budget that they have proposed, that is for sure. 256 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 3: So they just had a markup. So this is the 257 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 3: first that they're ever talking about this. The budget that 258 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 3: they proposed where they went through a thirteen hour markup 259 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: just the other day, proposed getting rid of Medicare. So 260 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 3: I mean, theoretically, they should have the money if you 261 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: decide that people won't have healthcare in this country, which 262 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: costs a little bit more than five thousand dollars a person. 263 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 3: But the reality is that they're not going to do that. 264 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 4: You know, it's so interesting I said that eighteen months 265 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 4: after he got sworn in. I felt like, you know, 266 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 4: the economy was just going to be in the toilet, 267 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 4: and I felt like that's what they were going to do, 268 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: Like they were going to do either the tax credits 269 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 4: or the stimulus checks just to pacify all of the 270 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: people that's going to be out in the street complaining. 271 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 4: I mean, you got twelve dollard federal workers already fired 272 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 4: and haven't been. 273 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: Been a month. 274 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: No, I mean, what's today the nineteenth He's wearing January twentieth. 275 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 3: So yeah, we are. And what I need people to 276 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 3: understand is that five thousand dollars, even if you get it, 277 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: it's not going very far because we are headed to 278 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: a recession. It is the bottom line, and you know, 279 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: people talked about how terrible the economy was, and that 280 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: was more so, like things were expensive, but people were 281 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: absolutely able to still enjoy all these playe rides because 282 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: every time I called a flight, it was absolutely packed, right, 283 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: And so yes it was expensive, but you could pay 284 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: for it. You're gonna end up in a situation where 285 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: you're not gonna be able to afford the food. Right now, 286 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: you're getting rid of the people that labor in the fields, 287 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: right because here's the reality. When you look back at 288 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 3: the history of this country, they have always relied on 289 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 3: some person of color to labor. That is why they 290 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 3: needed slave labor, right, Like we were the ones that 291 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: they took onto the plantations to work the fields. And 292 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: so we know that we have so many immigrants that 293 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 3: come into this country and the only thing that they're 294 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: looking for is a way to survive. And so they 295 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 3: will work for the pennies that is paid to actually 296 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 3: work the farms, and that keeps the cost of our 297 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: food down. But when they send their money home, it 298 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: goes a long way, and so their family is able 299 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 3: to live a better life than they would have been 300 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 3: able to live if they were still there where they 301 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 3: didn't have the job opportunities, right, But these are also 302 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 3: the people that are building our houses. As you're complaining 303 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: about the cost of homes, now we have another input 304 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 3: cost that's about to go up because listen, these people 305 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: aren't showing up. I just talked to contractors down in Atlanta, 306 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: Georgia that talked about the fact that their workers are 307 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: not showing up to work because they are concerned about 308 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: whether or not they are gonna come and try to 309 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: take them away. And this is even if you are 310 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: a citizen. Because Ice is so ignorant. They rounded up everybody. 311 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: They rounding up Puerto Ricans, they are Americans, right, They 312 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: are rounding up Native Americans. They are the most American 313 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: that you can find, right, Like, they are rounding up everybody. 314 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: So people of color are like, yo, I am not 315 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: even going to work. Right, So now you're talking about 316 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: costs going up, but you're also talking about less people working. 317 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: The United States is the fifteenth largest employer in the 318 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: entire world. Right, So now they're like, oh, yeah, all 319 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: those people were firing. They can just go to private industry. 320 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: The jobs don't exist, and private industry is signaling that 321 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: they know that the recession is coming. Southwest has never 322 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: done a layoff like what they did in the entire 323 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 3: existence of Southwest, and they just cut fifteen percent of 324 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: their workforce. So we're seeing where private industry is starting 325 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: to collapse and starting to actually reduce their workforce instead 326 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: of increase it. So where are these people going to go? 327 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: And people don't realize how many organizations, private or otherwise 328 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: rely on federal dollars in some way. And now you're saying, 329 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 3: we're going to take those federal dollars out, but we're 330 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 3: not putting them back into people's pockets. We're putting them 331 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: into the pockets of my friends. So now Elon is 332 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 3: going to get more money. Now I'm going to figure 333 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: out how to serve myself because he also told his 334 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 3: Department of Justice, do not enforce not, do not enforce 335 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: the marijuana laws right on the books, not do not 336 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 3: enforce the fact that there's this disparity between crack and 337 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: cocaine on the federal level, but do not enforce foreign 338 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: influence laws. Okay, well, I'm sorry I had nobody from 339 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: the hood get caught up because they were engaged in 340 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: some kind of foreign influence as fuck. I mean, so 341 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: who is it that typically gets caught up. It's people 342 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: with access and so now basically he's signaling to all 343 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 3: of these people that have tried to corrupt our government, 344 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: come on through, drop off a bag. In fact, y'all 345 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 3: just had a senator nearby that just went down. They 346 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: just gave Menendez eleven years. But the exact thing that 347 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 3: he's telling his Department of Justice, do not enforce this. 348 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: That's where we are. 349 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: How do you feel about that, because you know, it 350 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: seems like if you cool with Trump, you get a party. 351 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: If you cool with Trump, he'll tell you don't prosecute him. 352 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: Recently we've seen Eric Adams not being prosecuted. What's your 353 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: thoughts on that, cool. 354 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: With Trump you get paid? 355 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: Listen, my thought is that I'm still black in America 356 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 3: and I ain't gonna play no kind of games like so, 357 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: I am gonna walk the straight and narrow for a 358 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: number of reasons. Number one, I have some rols about myself. 359 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: In number two, I know that they would love an 360 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 3: opportunity to lock me up right like I would be 361 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 3: the exception to the rule. But you're absolutely right. I mean, 362 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: Canada has really been the one to call it out, 363 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: the fact that I'm rooting for Canada and I'm rooting 364 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: for Mexico. A lot is really wild, but they are 365 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 3: really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now. 366 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: They can see what it is and they were like, 367 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: we are not messing with this crazy regime from marer 368 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: Lago and basically calling them thugs. That's what it is. 369 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 3: But I'm like, y'all knew who he was when y'all 370 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: elected him, So don't act surprised. You elected somebody who 371 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: was actually convicted by a jury of his peers of 372 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 3: thirty four felony convictions. Again, if it was me, there's 373 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: no way. I mean right now, I ain't got no convictions, 374 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 3: no arrests, no nothing, and I would never be qualified 375 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 3: for president in this country in the eyes of the 376 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: vast majority of them. But a guy who literally not 377 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: only ended up becoming a convicted felon but also had 378 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 3: other cases that were pending in other jurisdictions, Oh yeah, 379 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: he's good to go. 380 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 4: You just said something that I've been thinking about. Why 381 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 4: do people still talk like Donald Trump is campaigning as 382 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 4: opposed to like he's actually here right now in the 383 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 4: flesh doing what it is that he's doing. Like they 384 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 4: still talk like you know, they stopped like they talk 385 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 4: like they can stop this, Like. 386 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: I saw governor governor of Illinois JV. What's his name, David. 387 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 4: Yes, he was talking, but I'm like, yo, that should 388 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 4: have been said four years ago, the things that he 389 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 4: was saying, like like why are they talking like he's 390 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 4: still campaigning. 391 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this. I think that there's two things. 392 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 3: I think that again, Democrats are so cerebral that we 393 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 3: were like, of course, nobody's going to vote for him again. 394 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 3: They'll remember the dead bodies they were piling up in 395 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 3: freezer trucks in New York. They'll remember that he was 396 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 3: selling people the in Jake Bleach. They'll remember that, you know, 397 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 3: they were losing their jobs. They did not know if 398 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 3: their family members were going to live or die. They 399 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 3: will remember. We thought he like people would remember, and 400 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 3: then we started to realize way too late that a 401 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 3: lot of people forgot all they remembered. It was almost 402 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 3: like our brains would not remember the bad. All they 403 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 3: remembered was like things like a twelve hundred dollars check, 404 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 3: but they didn't remember how they got it right, Like 405 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: they didn't remember Pelosi. They didn't remember the Democrats were 406 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 3: controlling the House at the time, like they didn't remember 407 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 3: that part of the story. 408 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: The Democrats messaging and marketing. 409 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: Well, you know, we're still working. But I will say 410 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: the other part of this though about Pritzker, is that 411 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 3: I think what we're trying to do is at least 412 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 3: make sure that people wake up because there are things 413 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: that we can do. I don't accept defeat. I mean, 414 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 3: if I accepted defeat, here's the reality, I wouldn't be 415 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: sitting here before you. My ancestors never accepted defeat, so 416 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 3: I won't either. Did he win? Absolutely? Are we defeated? 417 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 3: Absolutely not? And so right now costitution? Absolutely? I liked that. 418 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 3: Look at you with your alliteration. Okay, there we got. 419 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 3: So here's the deal. We know that the House is 420 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 3: only a three member to friends, three members going to 421 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 3: the Democratic side means that we control the House and 422 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: we start slowing things down. We have three seats that 423 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 3: are about to be up. We have two seats that 424 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 3: are up right now. We have another run that will 425 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: be up in New York. And so I'm telling people 426 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 3: put all your energy into these three seats because I 427 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 3: can't wait two years. Like I'm tired of him already, 428 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 3: so we need an opportunity to start stopping him. So 429 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 3: I do want governors like Pritzker to give people this 430 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: belief and this hope, and I want people to go 431 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: out and say, you know what, I don't have very 432 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 3: much money, but I think that it's worthwhile for me 433 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 3: to give my ten dollars to these people that are 434 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: running in Florida, to give money to whoever is going 435 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 3: to ultimately run here in New York. I think it's 436 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: worth my time to show up and actually knock on 437 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 3: some doors and talk to people and listen to people 438 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 3: and ask them why did you vote for Trump? And 439 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 3: Trump would still be your president? But don't you want 440 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: this to slow down a little bit. Don't you want 441 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 3: somebody to say, hey, wait a minute. We think that 442 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: it's important that social security still exists, and the only 443 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 3: thing that will stand between you and your social security 444 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 3: is potentially having a democratic House. And it doesn't mean 445 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 3: you're a Democrat, but it does mean that you believe 446 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 3: in a democratic republic. And so I want us to 447 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 3: work these three seats right now because one of the 448 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 3: elections Florida will take place on April. 449 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 4: First, So those are the guardrails that are in place 450 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 4: to protect you know, people like the federal workers from 451 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 4: what Elon Musk and Donald. 452 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 3: Trumpet well, as it relates that to that part, the 453 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 3: guardrails are the courts. That's the only thing that we 454 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 3: have standing right now. And I'm concerned that ultimately the 455 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: High Court belongs to him. So I know he's trying 456 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: to get those cases up to the Supreme Court again, 457 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 3: get them to dismantle the constitution a bit, dismantle laws 458 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 3: a little bit. But the fact that they push back 459 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 3: on TikTok of all things like just forget the subject matter. 460 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 3: But ultimately, in a nine to zero decision when it 461 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 3: came down to TikTok, they said, oh, never mind, Like, no, 462 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 3: you can't do that. That will signed into law whether 463 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 3: you like it or not. It will sign its law, 464 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: and you can't just unilaterally overturn that. So I think 465 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 3: that we may have a little hope from them when 466 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 3: it comes down to things like once Congress appropriates something, 467 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: you can't do anything about it. Now here's the thing. 468 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: It'll never make it the Supreme Court in time because 469 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 3: this last funding bill runs out on March fourteenth. We 470 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: won't get to the Supreme Court by March fourteenth to 471 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 3: get a decision. But we potentially will have a new budget, 472 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 3: and that budget should be done because he does have 473 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: a Trump trifecta. It should be done in the image 474 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: of what it is that they want to deliver. So 475 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 3: we'll see if they can get it done. I don't know. 476 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: I think we're shutting down on March fourteenth. 477 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: On March fourteenth, you think the government's gonna shut down? 478 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the last time we shut down was 479 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 3: under Trump. When we shut down I think at least 480 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: two times, and the longest shutdown we've ever had in 481 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 3: the history of this country came under Trump. And right 482 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 3: now they have a slimmer majority than they had when 483 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 3: I was in the hundred and eighteenth session. So right 484 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 3: now they only have they can only lose one vote. 485 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 3: One Republican vote can vote against it, So if all 486 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 3: Democrats show up and vote against it, which we should, 487 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 3: they can only lose one. Right now. I don't see 488 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: how they get it past, but we'll see they can 489 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 3: get it past the Senate. I don't see how they 490 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 3: get it past the House. Why do you think people 491 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 3: still love him so much? 492 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about that I'm talking about, like us, 493 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 5: Like why are there some of us that still favor him? 494 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 5: Like why is he still so like he he has 495 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 5: such a high approval rate Trump. 496 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 3: I don't know that. Well, I ain't gonna say you 497 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: got a high appropri rate. He is doing better in 498 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 3: his approvals than his people typically, like a lot of 499 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 3: black people. 500 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: Mean literally, they put out a poll and I think 501 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: his approval rating was fifty three percent. 502 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 5: Talking about black people though, right, Yeah, so many that 503 00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 5: I can't I can't. 504 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 3: I can't explain it. I have no explanations. The only 505 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 3: thing that I can say is that Number one, I'm 506 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 3: happy to know that Trump is an anomaly. People continue 507 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 3: to try to be the next Trump. They are not right. 508 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 3: Like we've seen it with Desantus, he's not. We've seen 509 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 3: it with Vek Ramaswami, he's not. Elon Musk. His numbers 510 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 3: continue to drag him down. Right, for whatever reason, Elon's 511 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 3: numbers go down and Trumps still kind of linger about 512 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 3: the same orgo a little bit higher. I will say 513 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: that there is a cultural aspect to Trump that is 514 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 3: unique and unlike anything we've ever experienced. And I think 515 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 3: that was another failure that we had in the campaign 516 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: overall is to understand that he's different. He's different. This 517 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 3: is a guy who's had his name on buildings forever, sure, 518 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: and people have been like, oh, he owned it, Not really, 519 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 3: his name is just on it, right, And so he's 520 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 3: very good at creating this perception. He's created this perception 521 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 3: of I am that guy, right, and he literally became 522 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 3: the closest thing to Teflon done that we have seen, right, 523 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: like who has this many cases in this many jurisdictions? 524 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 3: And yeah, I know, but I'm just saying so, I 525 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: think that from a cultural aspect, like he used to 526 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 3: be talked about in rap songs and things like that, 527 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 3: I think it's hard for you to then say, oh, no, 528 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 3: he's a terrible person because there's been this kind of 529 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 3: aura around him that was created, which may have been 530 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: okay for TV, may have been okay for music, may 531 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: have been okay for casinos, but it ain't okay in 532 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 3: the Oval office. Like I need y'all to separate the two, 533 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 3: like I don't need it to be that everybody that 534 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: kind of walks in that lane is now somehow qualified 535 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 3: to be president of the United States, because that's it 536 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: takes different qualities, and I think that that's why it's 537 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 3: been so hard to kind of tear him down, is 538 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: because he's different. I don't think these people are necessary Republicans. 539 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 3: I don't think they're necessarily going over to that side. 540 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: I don't think they're necessarily MAGA. I think that they 541 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 3: are just Trumpers, like period. And I think Maga's is 542 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: supposed to be a movement. But I believe that once 543 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 3: he is out of the way, right like, once he's 544 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 3: out of the presidency, if he leaves, if he leaves Jesus, 545 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 3: because he decided he a king now. But if he 546 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 3: leaves the presidency, I don't see anybody else being able 547 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 3: to take up the mantle he already said. Jd Vance 548 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 3: ain't the one, Like I mean, there's nobody else that 549 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: will be able to take up that mantle because he 550 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 3: is unique. Child. 551 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: What is what is on your break down? What's on 552 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: your shirt? 553 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 4: Child? 554 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, yes, So we dropped the child collection after 555 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 3: Nancy mays at it like she wanted to take me outside. 556 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: So with you, I don't have time. 557 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 2: We gotta jump. 558 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: You can't jumping. 559 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 5: When she asked you, I'd like to take this outside. 560 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: I graduate from the citadel, which is all military. 561 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, So d e I helped her just f 562 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,479 Speaker 3: y I okay, because it didn't exist, and there were 563 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: people that did not want a woman in the institution. 564 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 3: But her father actually taught at the institution, and so 565 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 3: she wanted to be just like her dad, and so 566 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 3: they sued, they went to the courts so that she 567 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 3: could get in as a woman. And now she is 568 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 3: the very same woman that wants to do like a 569 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 3: bunch of the same immigrants to somehow get over here, 570 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 3: get their citizenship and then they like, forget everybody else 571 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 3: coming behind me. She is the same. And so she 572 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 3: claims that she's been a champion for women and that's 573 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 3: why she's against trans people. But she forgets that she 574 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 3: benefited from diversity, equity and inclusion like most white women, 575 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 3: because white women are the vast majority of the beneficiaries 576 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 3: of DEI policies. But that's all they is she But 577 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 3: when she said let's take it outside, you know, I 578 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 3: really want to be like, let's go now, I knew 579 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 3: that I couldn't because again they would have been trying 580 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 3: to expel me. And if the tables were turned, if 581 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 3: I had said that to her, oh oh, the Karen 582 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 3: would have been calling everybody to come through and come 583 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 3: grab me, and they would have had me on the 584 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 3: floor for an explosion for trying to incite violence against 585 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: another member of Congress literally in a committee hearing. But 586 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: instead they said, well, maybe she meant go outside for coffee. 587 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 3: I do be thinking that's what they said. 588 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,959 Speaker 4: I be thinking that these people are so old and 589 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 4: so culturally clue is that they don't understand. 590 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no. 591 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 4: And when he did it, no, and even when you 592 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 4: did your bad Bill Bush bodies at the guys like whatever, it's. 593 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 3: The same guy, Nancy, I am not a child. 594 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: Now. 595 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 3: I do think that she is culturally unaware, even though 596 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 3: she's always bragging about how many black people she represents 597 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 3: in her district in South Carolina. Black people in South Carolina, 598 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: wake up, get rid up. 599 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: We went to high school together. 600 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 3: No, well she's anyway. I'm not gonna cuss you said 601 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: the economy she does, because South Carolina about to catch it, 602 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 3: just like all these other ones, all of them, they're 603 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 3: about to catch it the hardest. Like you think you're 604 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 3: quote unquote owning the Libs. But guess what New York 605 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 3: has money. Okay, guess what California has money? Right, the 606 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: ones that are broke and need the money, the New 607 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 3: York and California Bay into is you little red states 608 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 3: down south? The vast majority of y'all. Y'all are the 609 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 3: ones that are broken. Y'all are the ones that are 610 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 3: constantly bleeding population as well. Right, Like, we know that 611 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 3: these small states, like people are moving to the big cities, 612 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: which tend to be in the bluer states, right where 613 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: there are more opportunities. So but Nancy, you know, she 614 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 3: now wants to want to take it outside because they 615 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: going through all of that. No, she she just wants 616 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 3: to try to elevate her name and her status. So 617 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: she's allegedly talking about running for governor. Don't do it. 618 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 3: Don't do it, South Carolina. But if you look into her, 619 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: like she says so much staff that has resigned, she 620 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 3: is consistently being accused of all types of inappropriateness when 621 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 3: it comes to like sex stuff in general. So beyond her, well, 622 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 3: i'll just say that in committee right in that same hearing, 623 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 3: she was talking about quote unquote dicks with or chicks 624 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 3: with correct. Yeah, so she was doing like all that 625 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So she constantly like throws the word 626 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 3: around and committee and that kind of thing. But she's 627 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: also been accused of talking to staff about her sex 628 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 3: life and making them uncomfortable, and so she's had staff 629 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: resign alleging that she is very inappropriate. 630 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: She did just say she was a victim of rape 631 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: and sexual abuse. 632 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: He also did that with a lot of protections. So 633 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: people don't know that if you go on the house floor, 634 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: you can pretty much say anything and people can't suit you. 635 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 3: It's the debate clause. Yeah, the the oh, I forget 636 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 3: the other part of it. But anyway, what do you 637 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 3: mean speech and debate? Speech and debate clause means that 638 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 3: when you are in the chamber and you're on the 639 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 3: floor and you say certain things, I can say something 640 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 3: defamatory and I can't be sued. 641 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: Oh. 642 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 3: So the theory is this is that she decided, now 643 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 3: that she's getting ready for this gubernatorial she decided to 644 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 3: kind of head off some potential bad headlines by going 645 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 3: onto the house floor and accusing not one, not two, 646 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 3: but three men of sexually abusing her and recording it 647 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 3: and drugging her. So the thought is that maybe there's 648 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 3: a sex safe that's about to come out, and so 649 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 3: if she went on the floor, they can't do anything 650 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 3: about it. Now she's not filed charges against any of them. 651 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 3: She just went on the floor, made these accusations, but 652 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 3: did not go and file a case against anybody. Now 653 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 3: she files a case against somebody and she's found to 654 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 3: be lying, that is a crime. But she could go 655 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 3: on the floor and accuse them of whatever and they 656 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 3: can't sue her. So interesting place to go and report, most. 657 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: Jasmine somebody else? 658 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 5: Is it true to somebody else that works for another 659 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 5: sitting member? They had call than that they bet they 660 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 5: was betting on a fight. 661 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they wanted to see it like that. I 662 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 3: don't know who it was, but we have Capitol police. 663 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: We have the Capitol police following up on that because 664 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 3: they called during working hours on a house phone and 665 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 3: they were so smart that they didn't realize that all 666 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 3: calls made on house phones are recorded, so it is recorded. 667 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 3: We know which member's office it came from. It was 668 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 3: a Republican out of Texas whose office it came from. 669 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 3: And they they yeah, so they called my office and 670 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 3: was like, yeah, this is what we want to see. 671 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 3: Blah blah, blah blah blah. We're trying to place a bet. 672 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 3: Some random staffer called my office. It's the audacity for 673 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 3: I can see why. 674 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: They would want to see it, But this is what 675 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. 676 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 4: Right, Do you think that Congress could get more done 677 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 4: if y'all actually did their hands every now? Andy, No, 678 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 4: just real quick, real quick, thirty seconds then get it out. 679 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: No. 680 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 4: I do want to ask you this guy. I know 681 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 4: you got to go. Why don't Democrats sit down? Chuck 682 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 4: Schuman and Hakim Jefferies. They all represent the old way 683 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 4: of doing things that don't work anymore? People like yourself, AOC, 684 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 4: y'all know how to communicate, y'all know how to message. 685 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 4: Why don't they let y'all be front tracing in the party? 686 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 4: What are they holding on to? I know their positions, 687 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 4: but forget the position. If they're not connecting with people, 688 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 4: why are they the ones that are out front but 689 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 4: not y'all? 690 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 3: What do you mean outfront? I think that I think 691 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 3: you're you're referencing myself and AOC because we have been 692 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 3: out front. 693 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 4: No, definitely, But when they talk about actual democratic leadership 694 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 4: and who the leaders are, always always point to them 695 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 4: because of the position that they're in. 696 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: But to me, that's just the position. 697 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 3: I get it. And and both of us ran for 698 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 3: leadership positions and we were rejected by our but. 699 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 4: That's because of those that's because of those people who 700 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 4: represent an old way of doing things. 701 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 3: I get it. 702 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 4: If they open their eyes and actually see what's going 703 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 4: on in the world and who's connecting, who can lead 704 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 4: us into the next generation. 705 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: Clearly it should be you. When people like AOC and leadership, 706 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: I get it. 707 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 3: I will say that Hakim decided that I can't speak 708 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 3: for the Senate because I don't know what all was 709 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 3: going on over there. But Hakim decided to start a 710 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 3: rapid Response team, which is something that I proposed when 711 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 3: I was running to become our communications director, and so 712 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 3: I am a part of that rapid Response team, and 713 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 3: so it's just now starting to kind of take shape. 714 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 3: And so basically my job is to officially kind of 715 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 3: get out there and do some videos. I'm really supposed 716 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 3: to do some lives with some other people that are 717 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 3: on that rapid Response team, so that like when things 718 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 3: happen in real time, we're responding. But another thing, I mean, 719 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 3: there's just a lot that we could be doing. And 720 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 3: I'm hoping that we get a lot more aggressive, right 721 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 3: because I. 722 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: Think them, well, the need to get more aggressive. 723 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 3: Well I'll say, well, well, I'll say, is that like, 724 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: for instance, you know, there's been this kind of attitude 725 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 3: of we can't deal with all the stuff that he 726 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 3: got coming out, like we're not gonna be able to 727 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 3: And I get that to a certain extent, but I 728 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 3: do think that at a very minimum, it provides some 729 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 3: semblance of comfort and confidence for the American people when 730 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 3: they see us pushing back every single day. Yes, sure, 731 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 3: and it may not be every single thing that he 732 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 3: does in a day, but pushing back on like the 733 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 3: thing of the day, right, Like we literally need to 734 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 3: be like, okay, so this is the dumb thing for 735 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 3: the day, right, Like just so a little even if 736 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 3: it's five minutes, like this is the big one for 737 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 3: the day, right, and we go after it. And so 738 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 3: I think that we do have to get more aggressive 739 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 3: and decide every single day like this is just what 740 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 3: it is. Like I told my staff, I'm like, y'all 741 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 3: had it good last term. I know y'all thought y'all didn't, 742 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 3: but I'm like, we actually now have to work ten 743 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 3: times harder than we did before, because we've got to 744 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 3: make sure people understand how bad these policies are and 745 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 3: what's happening. If we don't communicate it in real time, 746 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 3: then we're doomed. That was the problem even when we 747 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 3: were trying to get the White House back, is that 748 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 3: we did not communicate in real time the good things 749 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 3: we were doing. Now they're like, oh, wait a minute, 750 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 3: those wait minutes. So the overdraft fees, that was Joe 751 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 3: Biden that reduced it so it wasn't more than five 752 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 3: dollars per overdraft. And now the Republicans have filed a 753 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 3: bill saying, you know what, we want those overdraft fees 754 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 3: to go back up, because again they're looking out for 755 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 3: the rich people, not the people who was struggling. Who 756 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 3: has overdraftees? Is it the rich people or is the 757 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 3: people live in check to check? So the people they 758 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 3: kept saying, oh, no, he's for the middle class. No 759 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 3: he's not, No he's not. And they tried to convince 760 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 3: you that the Democrats had done nothing, but they had. 761 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 3: They had consistently done things for the middle class. It's 762 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 3: just that. And so when even when Democrats are like, oh, 763 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 3: we're not the party of the middle class anymore. Yes 764 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 3: we are. Our policies are clear because overdraft fees, that's 765 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 3: not for rich people. But now it is about to 766 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 3: be for rich people. You know why because again we're 767 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 3: seeing a government that wants to prey on those that 768 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 3: are struggling so that others at the top can benefit 769 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 3: to some ridiculous amount of money. And that's what we're 770 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 3: about to go through. So I'm just like, listen, if 771 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 3: you were broke and thought he was your guy, well 772 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 3: God bless you. 773 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: All right, Jeffers can never talk like that. 774 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 4: I just want you to know that you can never 775 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 4: speak to you know that. 776 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 2: Thank you, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. We appreciate, appreciate, thank you 777 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 2: so much. It's the Breakfast Club.
