<v Speaker 2>Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome, Welcome home. Y'all. This is episode eighty eight of

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Native Lampid, where we give you our breakdowns on all

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>things politics and culture. Of course, we're your hosts Tiffany Cross,

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Angela Rye. There together, y'all, and this is me Andrew Gillim.

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>What's up, Hi.

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I want to start out by addressing a vicious rumor,

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 3>and that is Angela and I did not plan to

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 3>dress to like today. So if you ever see us

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>dressed alike, it just happens. It's just, that's all.

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 4>What happened with Andrew, Andrew always doing the opposite, just

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 4>like he does.

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 5>Welcome.

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 3>We could be a nineteen eighties album cover with Andrew

0:00:49.280 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 3>in the middle, just butting a few more Bush.

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, thank you so much.

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Yes, what Tom?

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Move right on past that.

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 6>It was given Uncle Luke.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Are we talking about what we talk about?

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.119
<v Speaker 6>Speaking to Uncle Luke?

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it sounds like and I'm not saying he's in

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 4>the Epstein files at all, but I am saying that

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 4>there is some treachery in those files and MAGA Republicans

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 4>don't want to release them after the community is split

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 4>on whether or not we should care that much, and

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 4>so is MAGA apparently.

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, I definitely have a lot of thoughts on that.

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 3>I as always enjoy hearing from our viewers, and thank

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>you guys for always taking the time to record videos

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.199
<v Speaker 3>and respond even when you disagree. I just enjoy hearing

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 3>from y'all, So I yield my time as I do

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 3>most weeks, so we can have time to hear from

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 3>our viewers.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I love it. Well, I'm with you,

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>but I'm with you too, Angela, and I'd love to

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>pivot from that Epstein piece to see how are Democrats

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>as a party as an organization who we're trying to

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>win back power. It's gonna take advantage of this moment

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>or create their own moment to try to win the

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>hearts and minds of an American voters. So we'll get

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to that on the other side, y'all, let's get at it.

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 7>What's up Native lampod My name is Atalanta and I'm

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 7>a huge fan of the show. You guys actually inspired

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 7>me to start my own podcast called Solar Punking. Where

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 7>every Sunday we talk about solar punk ideology, things we

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 7>can do in our community to make them better, and

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 7>ways to build the world that we want to live in. Anyway,

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 7>the reason for my videos that Tiffany mentioned last week

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 7>come hard. It must be for law students right now,

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 7>and I can tell you as a current too, well,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 7>it's been a struggle. I'm a second year law student,

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 7>and you know we're meant to read the material, absorb

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 7>the material, analyze the material, and apply the material and

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 7>sort of gaslad ourselves into believing it along the way.

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 7>Chevron difference was a really big one that changed for

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 7>us over my academic year. Birthright citizenship is a really

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 7>big one right now. Do process is a really big one,

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 7>and things are just changing so rapidly it's hard to

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 7>kind of keep up sometimes. But I got into this

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 7>because they wanted to be an advocate for my community.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 7>So I'm going to stick it out today.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 6>End either way.

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 7>Anyway.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 6>I love you, guys, motivated peace.

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Thank you at Alanda, we appreciate that.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 8>I know that is for real.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 3>The stay hydrated piece, well, we're popping bottles over here,

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 3>so hereous guys.

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 6>I like sparkling water. I don't know what you like it.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 3>And you put me on water, but they ain't paying

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 3>for no branding on this show, so I'm putting it

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 3>on the floor. Yeah I like that brand too, But

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 3>the other brand you put me onto I really.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Liked yea Georgia. That's good.

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 3>They hydrated. And I have a motivational water bottle that

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 3>tells you hour by hour, like I'll look at it

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 3>and it's like, by nine am, I should have consumed

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 3>this much. By ten am, this much, and so it

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 3>keeps me honest on drinking water. So anyway, thanks to

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Adlanda for listening and taking the time to send in

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 3>that video.

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 8>What else we got?

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 6>Well do we not talking about with her video?

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 8>Oh well, I didn't think she had a question. I

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 8>thought she was but we could talk.

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 6>I just want to.

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 4>Say I feel so bad for these law students because

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I really agree with this point, because you

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 4>are trying to hang your hat, so to speak, on

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 4>the law, on something that you can lean up against,

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 4>and there are moments where you lean up against and

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 4>it it shifts a little bit.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 6>It feels like you lean up against this.

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Right now and you fall back into a black hole,

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 4>And so I do feel really bad for them because

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 4>what they have to navigate is not what is the

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 4>truth about humanity and what should be the law, but

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 4>also like the fact that people in twenty twenty five

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 4>don't know that that should be the case. That's a

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 4>different type of negotiating with truth. That is that's that's

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 4>really difficult. It's just I do not envy them. I

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 4>also feel bad for the law professors.

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 6>Mm hmm.

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 4>That's what you're telling them, like, I'm about to teach

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 4>you some stuff in this case, and they wrong, they

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 4>all got it wrong.

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 8>Well, can I make a quick point on that.

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 6>CHERYLN.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 8>Eifel joined Howard Law.

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 3>And I went to her reception and she was talking

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 3>about something that probably would have made a lot more

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 3>sense to you, but some legal precedent. And she was

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 3>talking about it, and there were people in the audience who,

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, you heard the murmurs like what, I didn't

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 3>even know about that, And she said, yeah, exactly. When

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 3>I was in law school, I never knew anything about this.

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 3>And so she's like, raise your hand, acknowledge, make a

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 3>noise if you've heard about this, and this huge like

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 3>half the audience started clapping, and they stood up and

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 3>started clapping, and she looked over and composed herself and said,

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:45.599
<v Speaker 3>those are.

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 8>All my former law students.

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 3>So whatever the piece was that she was talking about,

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 3>they knew about it because she told them about it. Yeah,

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 3>because she taught them. So shout out to CHERYLN. Eiffel,

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 3>you know how much we love you on this podcast.

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 3>And actually, let me just make this in the official

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 3>invite to her to join us on Native Land whenever

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 3>your time permits, madam next week.

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 6>We hope, we hope that's the missus Eiffles court.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I think that's a good point on what

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 3>law professors are going through. And I said last week,

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 3>I think people who go to law school are trained

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 3>to think differently. So I'm just curious how people are

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 3>managing that. So thank you for playing in anything.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's yes. If you if you have.

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 4>To read through a textbook that may not hold true tomorrow,

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 4>what are you banking on.

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 6>We hold these truths to be.

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 3>What self evidence changing.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 8>We hold these truths to be changing.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, you know, I don't know if you guys

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 3>have been following the biggest beef going on better than

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 3>any rap beef and that is what's happening in Scotus

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 3>with ACB and K with Amy Coney Barrett and Kintanji

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Brown Jackson. This is the first time that our friend

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Albert is always saying, read the opinions because they're written

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 3>for you know people, and I always get intimidated, like,

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 3>just explain it, tell me what happened. I have been

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 3>reading these opinions. And when I tell you, Justice Kintanji

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Brown Jackson is here for it, and she comes in.

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 3>So what happens is the Descent will issue and correct

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 3>me if I'm wrong, The Descent will issue their opinion,

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 3>and Justice Jackson will issue her own. She issued her

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 3>own like they can say what they want to say,

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 3>but this is what I want to say, and had

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 3>her own statement where she was so clear and precise.

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 3>And then when ain't nobody call for her, Amy Coney

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Barrett came out and responded to Kintanji Brown Jackson, I'll

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 3>do a horrible job and have to correct myself explaining it. No,

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I think hers was written.

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 6>She had.

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't verbal, like she issued a written opinion in

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 3>response to Justice Jackson, and it was clearly like so

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 3>petty she's clearly so intimidated by by Justice Jackson. Is

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 3>so ridiculous.

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of the things that in addition to

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>feeling for law students, I'm feeling for criminally charged defendants

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>right now. And this alligator Alcatraz, that Rohn Deasantiss is

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>created here in Florida where they're supposedly detaining the worst

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>of the worst. And legislators went in there and found

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>out these folks, and most of which don't have infractions,

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and in some cases should they have infractions, they're traffic

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>These folks aren't out here creating crimes and so on,

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but they're more importantly, the sixth Amendment to the Constitution

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>allows for all of us to have rights to an

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>attorney should we be arrested, apprehended, or accused of some crime.

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>And right now lawyers cannot get in to see their clients.

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>They're being told when they show up to see their

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>clients that right now there isn't a system that can

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>facilitate them seeing their client. Well, we'll take your concern

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and relay it. No, no, no, no, no. These are constitutional rights.

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>And guess what about the US Constitution. Its limits are

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>within the jurisdiction of the United States. And so whether

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you are a citizen of the US, you're a visitor,

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>you are undocumented, you still have access to the rights

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that are guaranteed there, and right now they're trifling over them.

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>And so I fear for law students in the world

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they're being introduced to because what's up and what's down.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>But I also fear for people right now who are

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>being detained American citizens included being detained without any access

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to a lawyer, no access to their family, basically being

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.839
<v Speaker 1>absented by the government who are wearing disguises when they

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.959
<v Speaker 1>take them and put anywhere, including outside of the boundaries

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>of the geographical boundaries, in reach of the US government

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>or any of its courts by sending them to foreign

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>foreign countries. So the whole thing sucks. But we appreciate

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the comment the comments as they as they continue to

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 1>come in. Let's take another one.

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 9>Hey, Native Land Podcasts. This is changed from the New

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 9>York City and Andrew, I feel so see when you

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 9>scoop Tiffity Cross. I need that new season of Acrush Generations.

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 9>Angela Rye, I need on one back. I wanted to

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 9>contribute to the housing crisis conversation One example of why

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 9>the housing crisis exists in New York City is because

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 9>government salaries, specifically for city and state employees, do not

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 9>keep up with private industries, specifically with real estate rental.

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 9>On average, city employees make around forty thousand to sixty

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 9>thousand dollars with a forty five thousand to fifty thousand

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 9>dollars range. Really, and majority of those people are Blacks

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.439
<v Speaker 9>and Latinos. A ruler thumb across mental real estate is

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 9>they want forty times to rent. So a lot of

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 9>times our average rant can be around three thousand dollars

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.960
<v Speaker 9>for these new buildings being built, and so you have

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 9>to make around one hundred and twenty thousand dollars to

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 9>get into these buildings. And these people.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Don't sis Agela and a lot of people they to

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 3>rent to damn High But Andrew, this was a topic

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.319
<v Speaker 3>that you introduced, the wanted to talk about, very passionate about.

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I want to continue to invite people.

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 6>Do you remember the man to rent to damn High Man.

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 6>He probably would win the mayor all election right now.

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>He sure would. I mean, and by the way, that's

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a message that folks across the country can run with.

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 1>That's the problem with this crisis is that it isn't

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>just the New York cities of the world that are

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:27.239
<v Speaker 1>experiencing it. All over working people, two income households struggling

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to make ends meet, largely because the rents and the

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>mortgages and and and accessibility to affordable housing. And again,

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>affordable is whatever you can afford on your salary. So

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>don't think we're talking about Section eight or we're all

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>talking about Section eight, but we're talking about all housing.

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>And y'all, I'm not in my drink.

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 8>Wondering what happened.

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm continuing to hydrate. But but importantly, this is a

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.719
<v Speaker 1>crisis that is being experienced all across the country. And

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I got to tell you, if politicians can office around

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 1>the country, I don't care what level of government you're

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>running for if they don't wake up and start talking

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>about this extreme wealth divide that folks are experiencing. The

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.839
<v Speaker 1>income what's real, what you can afford. I go to

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the grocery store, y'all. I don't know what y'all's experiences are,

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>but people literally have their phones out and they're googling

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>other stores to price compare. I had not seen this

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>in a very long time. People are real time price

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.599
<v Speaker 1>comparing the price of toilet tissue here and if I

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>went't here what it would cost, And if I ordered

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>an Amazon, this is what it would cost. And I

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think this experience that people are having right now

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in real time has been yet reflected in our politics yet.

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we've had an election to reflect what's

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.079
<v Speaker 1>really going on yet, And I think we ought to

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 1>hold on to our seats when that happens, because anything

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>is possible when the bottom ninety percent of us get

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 1>frustrated with the circumstances as they are, especially when it

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>comes to our wallet.

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 10>Thank you both entertaining my question on your last when

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 10>your previous podcast, my concern of talking to some of

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 10>us sometimes as if we are political mild contents was

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 10>responded to by Angela by challenging me to stop it

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 10>being mild content. I'm familiar with some of the work,

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:22.079
<v Speaker 10>and I am critical, friend, but you are what every

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 10>black girl in America's descrived to be. And I feel

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 10>the same way about Miss Cross as well. But can

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 10>angel a pretentious response to me? Can that really show

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 10>the truth issue? And it also shows how deep the

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 10>equal chamber runs My side views some of you as

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 10>being politically compromised, and pushes a white supremacy wrapped up

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 10>in black activism for a party that don't care about us.

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 10>Your side treat my side similar to how Angela treated me.

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 10>There's nobody's listening, but it's just emotional and petty attacks

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 10>on pedagogical intelligence. Isn't that the issue?

0:13:59.040 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 6>Okay?

0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, thanks our dear friend for sending in yet another video.

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 4>I think what I would say to this is, you know,

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:12.439
<v Speaker 4>we make assumptions in this life about people, about their

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 4>allegiances to things. And I just spent the last several

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 4>weeks connecting black people who are like minded and not

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 4>like not like minded at all, people who come from

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 4>different economic backgrounds, people who come from different zip codes

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 4>and states, and so I think the least of my

0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 4>concerns right now is being somehow compromised to a party

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 4>that I ain't never paid my bills, and I just

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 4>wish I would. So, I mean, I don't have anything

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 4>other than I am for black folks uniting and figuring

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 4>out what our common ground is, what are common causes

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 4>and how we move forward and like minded fashion to

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 4>hopefully accomplish the same mission, which is our ultimate freedom

0:14:59.080 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 4>and liberation.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 6>The rest of that I'm not gonna respond to because

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 6>he ain't talking to me.

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just want to say thank you friend for

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 3>sending in the video, and just to reiterate the point

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 3>that even in disagreement, we're all family and in conversation

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 3>with you. So I appreciate you listening to the next

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 3>episode where we did talk about your question and taking

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 3>the time to send in another video. I do take

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 3>your point about, you know, certain people looking at other

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 3>groups as being politically compromised for a party, and I

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 3>think that some of the I hope anyway, some of

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 3>the nuance that you get in this conversation. The three

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 3>of us don't agree on a lot of things. I'm

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 3>certainly not a party person. I'm never here promoting democratic

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 3>talking points at all. My interest is always in us

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 3>as a community, and I feel like I can say

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 3>that for my co host that that's always our first interest.

0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 8>So I would just ask you to keep.

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Tuning in, keep weighing in, and we certainly are not

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 3>above reproach and depend on our audience to hold us

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 3>accountable if you feel like something we're saying you disagree

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 3>with will always be open and receptive. I'm accountable to effects, yeah,

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I am, But I'm saying if they are rooted in facts,

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 3>then we will engage. If it's not your experience or

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 3>or experience exactly their personal experience, I think it depends

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 3>I might not be accountable to your experience.

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know that we're I don't know that

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>we're accountable accountable to someone's experience. Accountability requires that we

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>take some ownership, so on and so forth. But I

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>do think that people's experiences, and we often say this

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>when we're all talking about registering people to vote, If

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 1>your experiences is when you vote, nothing changes, And that's

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 1>been your experience every time you've done it, as people

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>have asked you to and admonished you to, and that

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you felt compelled to. But yet nothing changes. Again, definitional insanity,

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 1>people's lived experience guides that practice. In fact, I lived

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>experience guys most of our practices. What we're experiencing during

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the day very much so dictates what we end up doing.

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And so I think people's experiences matter, and we're not

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the arbiters of that truth, right they are.

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes, But I also think that would be a good

0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 3>deeper philosophical mini pod.

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay about not.

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.679
<v Speaker 4>To be accountable for your experiences or just accountable for facts?

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 3>What are other people accountable for our experiences too?

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>We would let a lot of people off the hook

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 1>if that became the new standard, if that people didn't

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 1>have to be responsible for our experiences in the world.

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>White folks right now largely have already wholesale taken themselves

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 1>off the hook for the legacy of slavery and segregation.

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.119
<v Speaker 8>And do we not try to hold them accountable for

0:17:59.200 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 8>our experience?

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 1>I do believe.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.639
<v Speaker 6>I do believe that experience I'm responsible for.

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.680
<v Speaker 4>Like your misunderstanding of me, I think that if I,

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.919
<v Speaker 4>if I hurt your feelings, I can apologize to you

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:13.679
<v Speaker 4>for hurting your feelings.

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 6>That's subjective, but I also.

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 4>Can say that is not what I was factually, that

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 4>was the intention. But let me let me acknowledge that

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.160
<v Speaker 4>you were hurt in some way. What I'm not accountable for, though,

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 4>is like you painting me with a broad brush because

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 4>you using some talking points you learned about on the

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 4>Instagram comment I'm not gonna be responsible?

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, I don't. Well do we do?

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.359
<v Speaker 3>We want to have this as a mini want to

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.199
<v Speaker 3>get it was even you saying it. I'm like that

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.400
<v Speaker 3>we can take this politically, personally, professionally. I think there's

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 3>a lot of tentacles, So we can talk about it now.

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:44.680
<v Speaker 3>We can have it as a mini pod.

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:50.880
<v Speaker 6>Who's going to remember that? We want it as me? Okay, okay,

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 6>all right, all right.

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 1>But but I do think there was something said here

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that Angela you may be able to lift off of,

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>which is this, what is the what is each side

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.160
<v Speaker 1>saying to voters? What are they communicating right now? If

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you would pick up the headlines, what's what's out there

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 1>right now? What does the voter get to consume? That's

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a meaning.

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, we can talk about this.

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 4>We were supposed to talk about this big, badass bill

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 4>and what people how it is being reported on right now.

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.160
<v Speaker 6>Of course, there's this case with.

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 4>The Epstein files and how people are experiencing that failed promises,

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 4>which is not going to be a unique experience with

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 4>anyone who voted for Donald Trump based on some promises he.

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 6>Made a lie gonna lie every day of a week.

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 4>So I think that one of the things that we

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 4>have to be and one of the things that I'm

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.199
<v Speaker 4>actually proud that we do on this podcast is we

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 4>don't let headlines and whatever's been like on the breaking

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 4>news ticker tape all day on a broadcast.

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.400
<v Speaker 6>We don't let that dictate what we share with our audience.

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 4>So I think here, hopefully you are clear about what

0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 4>the big badass Bill does. Here, hopefully you are clear

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 4>about why. Well maybe today you will be clear about

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 4>why this Epstein thing is in the news and why

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.399
<v Speaker 4>his supporters fill away. But yeah, I think that we

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.680
<v Speaker 4>have an obligation to tell people the truth, even if

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 4>it is in the bottom on the bottom fold, on

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 4>the other side of the headline. It's not something that

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 4>you're looking for, but it's something that.

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 6>We think you need to know.

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to remind all of our listeners, those

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of you who may disagree with us vociferously, but you

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 1>still enjoy this opportunity to listen and share what we

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.119
<v Speaker 1>do here at Native Lampid. The best way you can

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 1>support us at this point is to hey, rate, review, subscribe,

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.479
<v Speaker 1>and continue to listen to anybody others to listen. We

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>need to support because we want to be around for

0:20:48.040 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a good little while sharing this community with you. Angela,

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and take us into what's at the top

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of the fold that we may or may not believe

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 1>should be.

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 4>So right now there is a maga war going on,

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.640
<v Speaker 4>folks on actually both sides of the aisle are conflicted

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 4>about whether or not Jeffrey Epstein file should be released.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 4>And Donald Trump is also speaking pretty ambiguously about this.

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 6>So let's play what Donald Trump is saying right now.

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Your daughter in law said that there should be transparency

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in the Epstein case.

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 7>You agree with her, sir.

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:39.200
<v Speaker 5>The Attorney General's handled that very well. She's really done

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.399
<v Speaker 5>a very good job, and I think that when you

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 5>look at it, you'll understand that I would like to

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 5>see that also, But I think the attorney general the

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 5>credibility is very important, and you want credible evidence.

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 10>Or something like that.

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 1>But she's handled it very well, and it's going to

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>be up to her.

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.679
<v Speaker 5>Whatever she thinks it's credible, she should release.

0:21:58.760 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah.

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:00.640
<v Speaker 6>Okay, so he's see would.

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Used to say he would direct he was the chief

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement. He directs.

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 10>Well.

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 4>And now you're asking Donald Trump to keep the truth going.

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 4>So let's go back to what Pam Bondi said earlier

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 4>this year about the Epstein files.

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 12>The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, that really happen.

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 12>It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 12>been a directive by President Trump.

0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 6>I'm reviewing that.

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 12>I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 12>process of being reviewed because that was done at the

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 12>directive of the President from all of these agencies.

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.479
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so he directed her, but now it's completely up

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 4>to her. And now it sounds like Attorney General Pam

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 4>Bondi has changed her tune a little bit about what

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:49.159
<v Speaker 4>is going to be released.

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 6>Let's roll that President said today.

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 11>You would release credible files related to mis reps.

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 10>Are you prepared to do that?

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 6>And when would you do?

0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.399
<v Speaker 12>Our memo today our memo speaks for its off and

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 12>we'll get batch you on anything else.

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 11>The DOJ memo said that it found no incriminating client

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 11>list and no credible evidence of blackmail, and therefore no

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 11>further disclosure.

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.880
<v Speaker 4>I think what is interesting and important here is that

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 4>there is this growing groundswell of folks who supported the president,

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:29.959
<v Speaker 4>including the FBI director Cash Betel, his deputy Dan Bongino.

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:32.480
<v Speaker 4>They think that these files should be released. Of course,

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 4>the FBI reports to the AGE at the Department of Justice,

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 4>and they are very divided and what they think should happen.

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 4>I think that this is a massive distraction from what

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:51.159
<v Speaker 4>really matters, which is ensuring that our folks social Security, medicare, Medicaid, snap,

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 4>all of those things are still covered. Julian Epstein, Sorry,

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.639
<v Speaker 4>Jeffrey Epstein, Lord have mercy on a college man. I'm sorry, Julian,

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:00.439
<v Speaker 4>you did good people.

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.160
<v Speaker 6>Jeffrey Epstein is He's just not right.

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:06.400
<v Speaker 4>And I think that this is one of those things

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 4>where you know, there's nothing that we can do now

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 4>this man isn't here. There are a lot of people

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 4>who are victims, alleged victims, et cetera.

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how this is going to pay and.

0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:20.679
<v Speaker 4>Cover people's most basic needs, but they are divided, and

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 4>people have suggested that this is a good place for

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 4>us to show that he's the liar that he is.

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 6>But I feel like we've.

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 4>Been saying this since twenty sixteen, Since twenty fifteen, I

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 4>think that's the key, Like this is the thing that

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:34.400
<v Speaker 4>y'all want to be mad at Donald Trump over.

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:37.640
<v Speaker 3>It's such horseshit. I mean, we should just be honest.

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 3>The only reason the quote unquote Epstein Files ever became

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 3>a thing is because they dangled it as red meat

0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 3>before their unintellectual base, because the subtext of was the

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Clintons were attached to it, the Clintons were involved. So

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 3>the same half witted conspiracy theorists, believing idiots who supported

0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Pizzagate are now not only driving what our government focuses on,

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 3>but they're also driving the narrative in the media. I

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 3>looked at all this week. There's been breaking news, a

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 3>breaking news banner all week, all last week, will likely

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 3>be all next week because this tiny, niche group of

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 3>people is so focused on the Epstein Files. Dan Brigino

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 3>throwing a whole ass temper tantrum, not wanting to show

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 3>up to his job at the FBI because he is

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 3>mad about the Epstein Files, and we're talking about this

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:30.120
<v Speaker 3>like it's normal. Not the fact that Dan Mangino or Bergino,

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 3>how real say his name Bongino, Not the fact that

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 3>he is a conspiracy theorist himself and he's the deputy

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 3>director of the FBI. Not the fact that he's an

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 3>election denier and he's the deputy director of the FBI,

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 3>not the fact that he has talked religiously saying that

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:49.919
<v Speaker 3>there is no systemic racism in policing and police departments.

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 3>But this niche group of people get to focus on. Oh,

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:54.879
<v Speaker 3>but Dan Mondino doesn't want to go to work anymore

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 3>because he's mad, Like, who.

0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 6>Gives a shit?

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand why this is even a subject. Second,

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 3>here's the hypocrisy. If we're so concerned about sexual abuse,

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 3>let me just tell you guys about Southwest Key Programs.

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.080
<v Speaker 3>They were the largest shelter of migrants across this country.

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 3>They had multiple shelters throughout the country. There were multiple

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 3>accusations of sexual abuse of minors that took place at

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 3>this quote unquote nonprofit which was not really a nonprofit.

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 3>In March, the Trump administration completely shut down a Biden

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 3>era lawsuit that would have sought to hold this conglomerate

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:33.679
<v Speaker 3>of shelters responsible for what they did. If we're so

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:37.959
<v Speaker 3>concerned about sexual abuse, where the entire is the breaking

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 3>news banner for that? There is none, Because who cares

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 3>about migrant children. That's not the issue. That's not the

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:50.439
<v Speaker 3>sexy thing. This shelter they got billions in federal contracts

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 3>for this abuse that allegedly took place during Trump's family

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:58.120
<v Speaker 3>separation policies in twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen. They capitalized

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 3>off migrant children. So this country allowed migrant children to

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 3>become a billion dollar industry. They allowed children to become

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:08.439
<v Speaker 3>a part of a business. So miss me with the

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 3>idea that these people care about the well being of children. Furthermore,

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 3>if we're so concerned about sexual abuse, there were multiple

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.879
<v Speaker 3>reports in twenty sixteen of Donald Trump going into beauty

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 3>pageants where girls as young as fifteen years old were

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 3>getting dressed and they were obligated to greet him and

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 3>meet him, and him making completely inappropriate marks and remarks

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:33.199
<v Speaker 3>and inappropriate gestures talking about these girls. If we're so

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.959
<v Speaker 3>concerned about sexual abuse, then let's focus on that. But

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 3>that is not the real concern. Their concern, as Dan

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Manzino has said, is to own the Libs. I don't

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 3>even know what that means, but it's some stupid, asinine

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 3>bullshit that these right wing extremists say. I don't even

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 3>get the point of it. So I'm frustrated. I don't

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 3>even care about his base. They don't frustrate me anymore.

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 3>What I'm frustrated with is the way the media is

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 3>being led by the nose, by this tiny group of people,

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 3>and they talk about it as though it is normal.

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying that Epstein case is not important. Let

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 3>the DJ pursue it. I'm saying, there is no way,

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 3>given what's happening in Gaza right now, speaking if we're

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 3>so concerned about children, the well being of children, the

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 3>tens of thousands of kids who are dying there, considering

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 3>what's happening in Sudan right now, and the children who

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 3>are dying there, considering what's happening in Kenya right now.

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 3>There are a lot of stories that we should be

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.760
<v Speaker 3>focused on. This is not one of them. And quite frankly,

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Congressman Hank Johnson, you know, did this whole video of

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 3>him playing the guitar and I'm thinking talking about the

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Epstein case, and I just thought how insulting that has

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 3>to feel to constituents who are not focused on Epstein.

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 3>And it just feels like a moment that we are missing,

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 3>the moment. You're even on the democratic side, you're letting

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 3>them lead you around the nose for these social media

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 3>stunts and that, ain't it. That is not the thing

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 3>that's going to help people out. To Angela's point about

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 3>the big badass bill, is that what you call it,

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 3>The big badass bill like that deserve more attention. If

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 3>we're so concerned about kids, let's talk about the children

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 3>who will literally die because of this bill, the children

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 3>who will be kicked off, who won't have caregivers, who

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 3>won't have health insurance.

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 8>So it's bullshit to me. Andrew, Sorry, I went on.

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Tell us how you really feel. I mean, I felt

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you You and Angela both there and I don't disagree.

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But I will say, as it relates to the political moment,

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is what is making this really outsized? Obviously over the coverage,

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 1>which I think is overblown, but I think one of

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the things that's driving its nature is that there have

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>been very few things, In fact, I can't think of

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>one where Donald Trump's base has openly criticized, parted with him,

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and are even damned trying to hold the Attorney General

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 1>accountable by saying she ought to be removed from office

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 1>or resign over this Epstein thing. And so the question

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I think is becoming does this create a wedge issue

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>between Donald Trump and his really critical base, important for

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>not just his election but probably going to be critical

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 1>to the mitchruns as well. Does it create an opening

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm of two minds. One, I don't think that

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.800
<v Speaker 1>there is a single one of these conspiracy theorists who

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is an available voter for Democrats. I don't think that

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 1>is necessarily always what it would have been. But the

0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party that today is the standard bearer for the

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 1>status quo and the defender of all institutions versus the

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party, at least sections of it, who used to

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>openly question conspiracies that were going on within the government,

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:44.880
<v Speaker 1>cover ups that were taking place, the misuse of power,

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:48.960
<v Speaker 1>going after black civil rights leaders, social justice leaders, and

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>using the government's instruments as cudgels to whip those people

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 1>into submission. There was once a Democratic Party that raised

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>those issues loud, repeated. You couldn't you couldn't refocus members

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>of the CBC twenty years ago, thirty years ago going

0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>ham over the CIA and their involvement and the introduction

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of narcotics into the black community.

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 1>You could ask them anything and they would have drove

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it right back to that issue. But today's Democratic Party

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>appears to have adopted as its platform the defender of

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 1>all existing institutions, regardless of how corrupt they may have

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 1>been and what damage they may have done to our community.

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think that conspiracy theories right now are

0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 1>part of the Democratic coalition, and I don't believe that

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 1>they are available voters. But I do think that what

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:43.320
<v Speaker 1>this moment might create, should these people's animosities be real,

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>is that it could have the effect of suppressing some

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of these white male voters and others who turned out

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump, who traditionally don't turn out to vote

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:55.760
<v Speaker 1>at all. If that has the effect of keeping some

0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of them home, then I think fine, drive a niche

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>market a campaign to keep them out of the process,

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 1>so long as they're willing to opt themselves out of

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the process because their conspiracy theories didn't pan out. But

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>if any Democrat running for office decides to wholesale redirect

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>their effort toward in Epstein and release the documents, you

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 1>are on your way to losing. Because, as Tiffany and

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Angela have already so aptly pointed out, that is not

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.360
<v Speaker 1>what our people are talking about. That's not what's keeping

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 1>them up at night. It doesn't inspire them and it

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't quite frankly distract them either, because they're not really

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.560
<v Speaker 1>paying that kind of attention to Jeffrey Epstein or Jillian

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 1>his associate, who is serving time. Maxwell, who I think

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is in Talla, hassee serving time last time I checked.

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 3>She's the only person who served time out of that

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:48.400
<v Speaker 3>whole thing, the woman and all of this is the

0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:50.680
<v Speaker 3>only person who served time. But she did serve as

0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 3>someone who was facilitating these matchups. The question is what

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:57.720
<v Speaker 3>she's just doing this for mister Epstein or what she

0:32:57.800 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 3>doing this for other parties as well?

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, and guess what? And again, legitimate questions are to

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>be asked on all those sides. I think that there

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>are legitimate questions about the US attorney who decided to

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 1>give Epstein a cushy deal in the first place, that

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 1>broke the Miami Herald, who broke the news on this

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>thing and busted it wide open. But we would be

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing people talk about the Democrats out to seize

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 1>this moment as for the midterms, and I am very

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>concerned that Democratic policy makers and elected officials who are

0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>pursuing re election and the consultants who guide those campaigns.

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I am very concerned that they are so weak need

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>about what is going to get Democrats back in power,

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that they may be willing to co op this whole

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>storyline of Epstein and release the files. And I think

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that would be a death ridden mistake and put the

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>nail on the coughing to whether or not there is

0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 1>an opposition party to be spoken of after these midterm elections.

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:57.200
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

0:33:57.800 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 8>I don't know that I disagree with that, but I think.

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a bad calculation.

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that if they are to rest their

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 4>laurels on just releasing the files, then yes, But if

0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 4>they use it as a wedge issue to create space

0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:18.799
<v Speaker 4>around what is fact versus fiction, I actually think it's

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:21.839
<v Speaker 4>smart and broken promises, Like you know, yes, he broke

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 4>this promise to you, but let me show you all

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 4>the other promises.

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 6>He broke to you. He's broken with you.

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:30.239
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like I'm being a hypocrite right now.

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:34.399
<v Speaker 4>And I can feel Tip's eyes burning about to say

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.560
<v Speaker 4>I hold in my cheek because what I'm about to

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:42.920
<v Speaker 4>say is, I don't know if neutralization of those voters

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:48.000
<v Speaker 4>is as significant as converting them, and and there and

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 4>I and I don't know. I was thinking that, Yeah,

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 4>it's it's hard because I think that it's a tall order,

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:58.400
<v Speaker 4>It's a really tall order, because they would rather believe

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:02.759
<v Speaker 4>to death in white so premiacy, then to believe that

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 4>they have anything in common with folks who look like us,

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:07.760
<v Speaker 4>or any immigrant family or whatever.

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 6>So it's hard.

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 4>But I do think that when we are in desperate times,

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:14.680
<v Speaker 4>and if we are honest, we have to acknowledge we

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 4>are in really desperate times, in really dire circumstances, we've

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.760
<v Speaker 4>got to find allies that make the coalition.

0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:22.800
<v Speaker 6>Huh.

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 1>That's why we got to convert our voters. We have

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 1>people who will be with us if they show up

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to vote.

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 11>Yes.

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:29.400
<v Speaker 1>This is what the Harris campaign, and this is what

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:32.839
<v Speaker 1>every campaign prior to her has done. They've identified these quote,

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>middle of the road folks who may share common calls

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 1>with us on a thing, and believed mistakenly that those

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:40.680
<v Speaker 1>folks will adopt us wholesale when given the other option.

0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>And they've proven time and time and again no matter

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>where they have exception with Donald Trump, they still go

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:51.240
<v Speaker 1>home to him. And so if we're talking about limited

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.960
<v Speaker 1>resources and how to spend those, I would never ever

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 1>suggest that a democratic campaign take their precious resources and

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:01.760
<v Speaker 1>target them towards what they think is this maybe movable

0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:04.800
<v Speaker 1>middle of people who are now disrupted by a broken

0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:07.839
<v Speaker 1>promise over Epstein and convert them to their voters. If

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you're going to convert voters, go to the black voters

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:13.000
<v Speaker 1>down the street and the Latino voters and the white

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>liberal voters who have checked out of the process and

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:17.759
<v Speaker 1>are choosing not to show up, and give them a

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:20.480
<v Speaker 1>reason to show up. And I bet that the message

0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>that they deliver on healthcare, on this big ass bad

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 1>bill that's going to that has created the largest shift

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>in wealth that we have ever seen in the history

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:31.759
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, creating one so large that the

0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 1>people who built the pyramids and the pharaohs themselves had

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a less divide and wealth than we do today between

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:42.080
<v Speaker 1>our oligards and we're working people.

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 6>Did you create that? I like that. That's a good one.

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But this is this is what this is that is saleable.

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Talk about the stuff that the majority of Americans disagree with,

0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 1>both Trump voters and the middle of the road voters

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and Democrats. And that's the bill that they just passed

0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna put all us in the poor house before

0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:01.719
<v Speaker 1>we know it. Well, obviously you can tell we got

0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot more to say on this. Let's pay some

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:05.439
<v Speaker 1>bills and pick it up. On the other side, don't

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 1>want to miss this.

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, here's the only thing I'm saying. I hear that

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 6>I agree with that.

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:28.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying, take your money Democratic Candidate X and

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:32.080
<v Speaker 4>spend it on Epstein. What I'm suggesting is that we

0:37:32.160 --> 0:37:34.600
<v Speaker 4>don't let this pass by though, either because if the

0:37:34.719 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 4>roles are reversed and this was the Democratic Party doing this,

0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:41.760
<v Speaker 4>all they would want a special committee and they should

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:43.879
<v Speaker 4>do that. They should do some of that. But I'm

0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:46.439
<v Speaker 4>not saying don't spend a dollar on it. Talking heads

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 4>should be talking about it, like, what is there tie,

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:52.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying that there is anything, but you call

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:55.760
<v Speaker 4>into doubt everything that they are sitting with, every promise

0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 4>that he's broken and this is one of many. Emphasize

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:01.720
<v Speaker 4>this one is one of many, and then name five.

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:02.320
<v Speaker 6>Or six others.

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Just from a strategic standpoint, that is smart because at

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 4>some point, at some point, you would think they have

0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:11.400
<v Speaker 4>to start seeing the lie for what it is. It

0:38:11.400 --> 0:38:13.760
<v Speaker 4>didn't work, even though he was in office from sixteen

0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 4>to twenty didn't work, or seventeen to twenty didn't work.

0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:18.279
<v Speaker 6>They didn't buy it. I don't know why they didn't

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:18.560
<v Speaker 6>buy it.

0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 1>I gave it, they didn't didn't. They determined that they

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't care. And I think the same is true here

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that if there is a connection in.

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:28.960
<v Speaker 6>My marrying and it's and it's and it is right.

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 1>They care about this one of all the things.

0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:34.439
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that do we have Speaker Johnson's clip.

0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm just curious do we have?

0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 1>We should pull that up, But Angela, just to find

0:38:37.760 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot, I think that your point is well, I

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 1>think it's right. Definitely, don't let this thing slip by.

0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:47.279
<v Speaker 1>If there is a if there is a whole to

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>be manipulated to create a greater one.

0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:52.719
<v Speaker 6>Not even manipulation, it is a And this is my

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:53.320
<v Speaker 6>whole point.

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:55.319
<v Speaker 4>I think that one of the things that they do

0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 4>poorly that we don't do when we when the facts

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 4>and the truth and what is right is on our side,

0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 4>we still don't utilize it.

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:06.760
<v Speaker 6>And I don't get why, Like I.

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:08.799
<v Speaker 1>Think telling them about his lives is going to do it.

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 1>If we are going to connect an issue, it needs

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.439
<v Speaker 1>to be to the economy people are going to vote

0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:16.000
<v Speaker 1>on their wallets come.

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:19.440
<v Speaker 6>That novel here of that, because I'm not All I'm.

0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Saying is I don't think that. I don't believe that

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the strategy of stringing along all of his letdowns and

0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 1>lies is going to be the way forward. They are

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 1>aware of them, they are complicit with them. They have

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:34.120
<v Speaker 1>forgiven them, or they have said they don't matter up

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>until this issue. And I'm saying, on this issue, I

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 1>would say Donald Trump again is proven that he is

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:43.600
<v Speaker 1>just for himself. And the fact that budget bill did X,

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Y and Z that that that that reiterates the facts,

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:49.440
<v Speaker 1>that makes plain to us He's willing to close our hospitals.

0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 1>He's willing to take our hospital.

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Didn't they don't care about our say close your hospital.

0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying our I mean in my community.

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 4>I know I'm saying. Talk to them other ones, it's

0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:04.360
<v Speaker 4>their hospitals.

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It is absolutely But to them, if it's their community,

0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:08.160
<v Speaker 1>it's he's willing to close our hospital.

0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:10.719
<v Speaker 6>When they hear you say our, they don't they think good.

0:40:11.080 --> 0:40:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying. If I'm the voice of the voter,

0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 1>wherever that voter is, they are they are reflecting on

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>what they have lost. I want them to know what

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 1>is being taken from them, because they don't seem to

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:27.319
<v Speaker 1>care about his lies, his missteps, and his mispromises. But

0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:29.719
<v Speaker 1>when I see people in the stores with their calculators

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and their cell phones price comparing toilet tissue and paper towel,

0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I know that this is going to be an economic

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>collection again. And if we get sidetracked and run down

0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the wrong road, make the wrong connections, draw the wrong parallels,

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:46.400
<v Speaker 1>we are going to find ourselves out of office yet again.

0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:50.040
<v Speaker 3>I think I think you're both making a legitimate point.

0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I think Angelia will correct me if I'm wrong. But

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:55.319
<v Speaker 3>I think what Angela is saying, which because I did

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 3>when you said that, I was like, hmm, I don't

0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 3>know how I feel about celebrating people sitting out the price,

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 3>even if they are people who disagree with me. So

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 3>I think, Angela, you're saying, instead of, you know, just

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 3>discarding them, let's try to convert them. And at first

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:13.839
<v Speaker 3>I was with you, but then hearing Andrew, I'm like, yes,

0:41:13.920 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 3>that presupposes that they are convertible, and they are not.

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:21.960
<v Speaker 3>This is not a political party, this is a political cult.

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a lifestyle cult.

0:41:23.160 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 6>But the cult has fractures.

0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, all groups have fractures. I don't know if it's

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:28.399
<v Speaker 3>fractured enough.

0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:29.200
<v Speaker 6>I don't know either.

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 3>I know it's not fractured enough that they would ever

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 3>come to R side. There's been enough data to support

0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 3>that for the past ten years in this society. We've

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:43.839
<v Speaker 3>even seen video evidence. If I can find it, I'll

0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:47.320
<v Speaker 3>play it on a later episode. But there was actually

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:49.799
<v Speaker 3>a group of people who had Trump supporters, and they

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:53.040
<v Speaker 3>were posing questions to them, and they had faked audio.

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:54.879
<v Speaker 3>It was like AI and they had faked all these

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 3>things that Donald Trump said, and he talked about sleeping

0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:01.800
<v Speaker 3>with his daughter, He talked about the the most obnoxious things,

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 3>and one by one they all found a way to

0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:07.800
<v Speaker 3>excuse it, to apologize for it. Even people who have

0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:10.920
<v Speaker 3>been fired from their jobs, who have been directly impacted,

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:13.600
<v Speaker 3>have said, I do not regret my vote. I just

0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:15.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't think it would happen to me. You voted for

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:18.319
<v Speaker 3>it to happen to someone else, but you didn't think

0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 3>it would happen to you. And even when it does

0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:24.879
<v Speaker 3>happen to you, you are still resolute. You are so convicted,

0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:28.759
<v Speaker 3>and that they're united in our impression you're so convicted

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:31.839
<v Speaker 3>in your belief that you need, that you ought to have,

0:42:31.920 --> 0:42:34.319
<v Speaker 3>that you deserve and that we do not, that you're

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 3>willing to cut off a limb just to make sure

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:40.160
<v Speaker 3>that we don't have. So I get your point, I

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:42.960
<v Speaker 3>just don't I know that they are not convertible.

0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 6>So what's our path? And ask this?

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:54.080
<v Speaker 4>So what I'm saying is Andrew and tif Uh, my

0:42:54.200 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 4>question is, if you don't think that they're gettable, that

0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:00.760
<v Speaker 4>they're not convertible, what is the path forward?

0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:03.279
<v Speaker 6>Because we have the math, a mathis so what's the

0:43:03.320 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 6>path forward? Is it going to the ninety million? What

0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:06.520
<v Speaker 6>is it like?

0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 8>What motivating ore is to what ends motivating voter?

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:10.919
<v Speaker 1>So let's be very clear.

0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:11.880
<v Speaker 6>We do have the numbers.

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:15.239
<v Speaker 1>We do have the numbers when their regular base shows up.

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 1>You see what Donald Trump benefited from.

0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Was he he had a hyper sized, uh white production

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:22.879
<v Speaker 3>of white Yeah, that.

0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Is not the normal course of white voters in this country.

0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:29.280
<v Speaker 1>He juiced it. So when I say keep them home,

0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, y'all weren't interested before, go back to being

0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 1>non interested. I absolutely do care about what voter suppression

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:39.839
<v Speaker 1>looks like. When they suppress our vote they change the laws, right,

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>they make it illegal for us to access it. What

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about is not a llegal means by which

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to suppress a vote. That's not my issue. I'm saying,

0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:51.879
<v Speaker 1>you thought you bought into a system by buying Donald

0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:56.120
<v Speaker 1>aprothetic that reflected what you think, your values, your your

0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 1>best interests, and now it's proven that that ain't true

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 1>for you on this issue of Epstein, whatever that be.

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:07.399
<v Speaker 1>All these guys are losers. Don't support any of them.

0:44:07.680 --> 0:44:09.520
<v Speaker 1>And guess what, that's not a hard argument. That's what

0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:12.280
<v Speaker 1>they believe before and that's what they believe now, except

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:13.680
<v Speaker 1>except for Donald Trump.

0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.320
<v Speaker 8>But you're the path forward.

0:44:18.600 --> 0:44:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Democratic voters who are already our voters but have chosen.

0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:28.879
<v Speaker 8>But I guess I'm asking that gets us to a win.

0:44:29.560 --> 0:44:32.360
<v Speaker 3>That okay, But what I'm asking is in the current

0:44:32.719 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 3>infrastructure that we have, in the Democratic Party that exists

0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:39.720
<v Speaker 3>in this country, and in the Maga cult that exists

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:42.720
<v Speaker 3>in this country, in the big bucket of apathetic people

0:44:42.719 --> 0:44:45.960
<v Speaker 3>that exist in this country, do you think that is

0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:51.840
<v Speaker 3>a logical path forward that can produce a tangible success

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:55.279
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to policy and participation?

0:44:56.640 --> 0:45:00.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay, absolutely, guess what that that produced, that produced Joe

0:45:00.880 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Biden and twenty twenty. What produced Joe Biden was the

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:08.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that Republicans who had been there for him in

0:45:08.640 --> 0:45:11.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen decided they were not going to be there

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.160
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty. What did they do? They sat at home.

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:16.640
<v Speaker 1>By the way, that is also the gateway that gave

0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:19.719
<v Speaker 1>us Barack Obama. The same white voters who showed up to.

0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:22.400
<v Speaker 8>Put they stayed home in twenty.

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Twenty four did not decide that they were going to

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:29.240
<v Speaker 1>block Obama from becoming president. They stayed home.

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:31.760
<v Speaker 6>Some of them voted for Barack Obama.

0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:34.400
<v Speaker 1>That may be true, but I'm telling you the victory doesn't.

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:37.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but not in number. Overwhelmingly.

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:40.400
<v Speaker 3>They stayed home in two thousand and eight, in two thousands, well,

0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 3>but there were vertibles. Well, I don't know that they

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:45.759
<v Speaker 3>were convertibles. There were people who were frustrated with the

0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Bush administration. So it wasn't necessarily a vote for Obama,

0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 3>but a vote against the party that.

0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 4>Existed, the same thing that we may be going tours now.

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:56.440
<v Speaker 4>It could be a coalition of people who are voting

0:45:56.560 --> 0:45:58.040
<v Speaker 4>against what they thought they were.

0:45:58.200 --> 0:46:02.359
<v Speaker 8>I don't I think I'm a playbill. Almost twenty years old. Now,

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:04.279
<v Speaker 8>I don't know what.

0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:07.600
<v Speaker 4>We need to throw ship at the wall to see

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:11.760
<v Speaker 4>what sticks. That's the playbook, his ship.

0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:15.480
<v Speaker 6>We need our own ship at his ship. But it

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 6>sounds like.

0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:21.520
<v Speaker 8>You are hopeful, like you face, I.

0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:25.560
<v Speaker 6>Am desperate, is what you're Okay, that's desperate answer to

0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:28.920
<v Speaker 6>get people. I am not. Let me make sure that

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:30.799
<v Speaker 6>everybody p s a everybody.

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:33.840
<v Speaker 4>I am not opposed to getting black people out to

0:46:33.920 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 4>the post. I am not opposed to getting brown people

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 4>out to the polls. I am not opposed to getting

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.319
<v Speaker 4>Indigenous people out to the post. What I'm saying is,

0:46:42.360 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 4>with all of that, we still need to make sure

0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:48.160
<v Speaker 4>we have more numbers. Andrew is saying we to include

0:46:48.200 --> 0:46:51.239
<v Speaker 4>white people today. That's a new breaking news on this show.

0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:54.360
<v Speaker 4>That's fine, Andrew. I'm with we being white people too great.

0:46:54.719 --> 0:46:58.439
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just saying this is, this is, this has

0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 1>been our map by the way to victory every cycle,

0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:04.160
<v Speaker 1>juicing our voters over theres.

0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 6>But your hour is very loose in a way that

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:07.120
<v Speaker 6>was confusing.

0:47:07.200 --> 0:47:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying.

0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:11.439
<v Speaker 8>I'm saying this is the difference as a democratic voter.

0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:15.400
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I'm saying. Our let me define it.

0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Real quick. Yeah, our are the voters who, if they vote,

0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:21.279
<v Speaker 1>they will vote for Democrats.

0:47:21.600 --> 0:47:25.480
<v Speaker 6>Okay, so what she said.

0:47:24.320 --> 0:47:25.479
<v Speaker 1>That's not a Democratic voter.

0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:29.800
<v Speaker 8>Yes, I understand, but it makes your difference.

0:47:29.800 --> 0:47:30.520
<v Speaker 1>It's a big difference.

0:47:31.000 --> 0:47:31.799
<v Speaker 6>So what is it then?

0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:35.040
<v Speaker 8>Who's the power is somebody who will vote for it.

0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:38.160
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't matter if Democrat, if your party, but if

0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:39.719
<v Speaker 3>you vote, you will vote for.

0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:41.280
<v Speaker 6>But includes white people.

0:47:41.360 --> 0:47:44.640
<v Speaker 3>And he's not speaking right. He's not speaking from a

0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 3>race perspective. He's speaking from a political perspective.

0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm right, And so I want to contrast that voter,

0:47:50.400 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 1>that voter who if they vote, they will vote for

0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:55.279
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat. I want to contrast that voter with a

0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:58.759
<v Speaker 1>voter who has to be persuaded. A voter who has

0:47:58.800 --> 0:48:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to be persuaded is one who is right now inclined

0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:04.600
<v Speaker 1>to supporting Donald Trump, probably has and is up until

0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:08.279
<v Speaker 1>this point, up until this fisher has arrived. That persuadable

0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:13.520
<v Speaker 1>voter one has to make has to draw the conclusion

0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that they're in a better bed if they switch over

0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and vote for the Democrat than they would have on

0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole. Taking the totality of their interest into consideration,

0:48:24.320 --> 0:48:26.120
<v Speaker 1>then they would be if they stayed with Donald Trump

0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:28.759
<v Speaker 1>or state with the Republicans, or they could also draw

0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the conclusion that they're pissed as hell with the Republicans.

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:33.799
<v Speaker 1>They don't sanction what they did on Epstein or maybe

0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:38.000
<v Speaker 1>some other issue, and they say I'm staying home. I

0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:43.120
<v Speaker 1>think we underestimate the power of a voter who is

0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:47.440
<v Speaker 1>determined to vote for Democrats don't easily get persuaded to

0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:50.600
<v Speaker 1>change their vote to a Republican and vice versa. I

0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:54.200
<v Speaker 1>will never so long as I live and have a

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:56.680
<v Speaker 1>brain to think with and hard to care with, I

0:48:56.719 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think I'll ever be in common cause with today's

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Republican party. I don't care how mad I get with Democrats.

0:49:02.080 --> 0:49:04.239
<v Speaker 1>I may vote for a third party, I may not

0:49:04.360 --> 0:49:09.560
<v Speaker 1>vote at all on that particular race. But to tell

0:49:09.640 --> 0:49:12.120
<v Speaker 1>me to be bad at Democrats on this issue and

0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:15.680
<v Speaker 1>then go wholesale to the other side, who's ninety nine

0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:20.560
<v Speaker 1>percent agenda is against me, it's tom foolish. It is.

0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 3>So you're saying there's a pathway on the other side.

0:49:22.640 --> 0:49:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I think Angela is kind of saying the same thing.

0:49:25.280 --> 0:49:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Out of desperation, let's try to get whomever we can.

0:49:28.800 --> 0:49:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying we don't have to be desperate and

0:49:31.280 --> 0:49:33.279
<v Speaker 1>make the choice to go persuadable.

0:49:35.680 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I get the nuance you're saying, like tap into people

0:49:39.680 --> 0:49:41.279
<v Speaker 3>who are receptive.

0:49:41.239 --> 0:49:44.320
<v Speaker 1>To We're already with you, yes, right, because.

0:49:44.040 --> 0:49:47.399
<v Speaker 3>You and I agree that anybody who's a Trumper.

0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:48.120
<v Speaker 8>Is not convertible.

0:49:48.239 --> 0:49:49.239
<v Speaker 1>It is not convertible.

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 3>And I think Angela correct me if I'm wrong. You're saying,

0:49:52.320 --> 0:49:55.080
<v Speaker 3>let's try to get everybody, including them. Let's try to

0:49:55.080 --> 0:49:56.400
<v Speaker 3>get everybody.

0:49:55.920 --> 0:49:57.319
<v Speaker 6>And I'm not saying starting with them.

0:49:57.360 --> 0:50:00.799
<v Speaker 4>I hope I'll never clearly abandon your base, and by base,

0:50:00.880 --> 0:50:02.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't mean just the people who turned out in

0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:05.239
<v Speaker 4>this last election. Yes, if there is another election, we

0:50:05.320 --> 0:50:06.640
<v Speaker 4>need to have all hands on days.

0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I think Democrats interpret that message of persuadable and go

0:50:11.520 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>get everybody to mean that ninety percent of their budgets

0:50:15.000 --> 0:50:16.680
<v Speaker 1>around who they talk to.

0:50:19.200 --> 0:50:19.439
<v Speaker 6>Done.

0:50:19.640 --> 0:50:22.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's why I'm saying that the message must be

0:50:22.200 --> 0:50:25.040
<v Speaker 1>clear here to the extent. By the way, I'm not

0:50:25.080 --> 0:50:27.480
<v Speaker 1>saying every person to a person who is with Donald

0:50:27.480 --> 0:50:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump can't be converted. That's not what I'm saying. What

0:50:29.200 --> 0:50:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is they cannot be converted, and large enough

0:50:32.200 --> 0:50:35.280
<v Speaker 1>numbers to make an electoral difference, and that's what matters

0:50:35.320 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day. So the numbers that

0:50:38.080 --> 0:50:41.000
<v Speaker 1>make a difference are your voters going to the polls.

0:50:41.080 --> 0:50:43.879
<v Speaker 1>That's why the negotiation of Democrats and candidates make every

0:50:43.880 --> 0:50:46.160
<v Speaker 1>time when they're in cycle is whether they spend their

0:50:46.200 --> 0:50:49.799
<v Speaker 1>money toward getting voters who are not with them but

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:53.640
<v Speaker 1>persuading them to their side to now vote, or doubling

0:50:53.680 --> 0:50:57.360
<v Speaker 1>down on your current base of voters and juicing that

0:50:57.440 --> 0:50:59.360
<v Speaker 1>number to the best of your ability. Democrats in my

0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:02.279
<v Speaker 1>state have large we believed that the best investment is

0:51:02.600 --> 0:51:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and taking those precious resources and spending it toward what

0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you believe is the movable middle, I think, and every

0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:10.080
<v Speaker 1>time that lesson has taught us a loss.

0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:10.919
<v Speaker 6>I think.

0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:15.120
<v Speaker 4>My frustration with this conversation is we are talking about

0:51:15.160 --> 0:51:18.240
<v Speaker 4>an election that's not currently happening, and all I'm talking

0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:23.880
<v Speaker 4>about right now is getting these folks aligned with the

0:51:24.080 --> 0:51:28.160
<v Speaker 4>with us on other issues so that we can proactively

0:51:28.320 --> 0:51:31.520
<v Speaker 4>fight and then put up what an alternative to what

0:51:31.680 --> 0:51:32.960
<v Speaker 4>this disaster.

0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:33.719
<v Speaker 6>Is looks like.

0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Right now, we keep talking about an election that I

0:51:37.560 --> 0:51:40.719
<v Speaker 4>want to be honest with people, we don't know is

0:51:40.800 --> 0:51:41.680
<v Speaker 4>going to happen.

0:51:41.880 --> 0:51:43.600
<v Speaker 1>It is scheduled. It is scheduled.

0:51:43.680 --> 0:51:45.560
<v Speaker 6>It is scheduled across it's scheduled.

0:51:45.560 --> 0:51:47.480
<v Speaker 4>But I'm just saying, I know you mean, I'm saying

0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 4>that there are people who are DOCA recipients, who are

0:51:51.600 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 4>in holding facilities and ready to be deported. I'm saying

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:58.640
<v Speaker 4>that the rule of law does not matter. Whether it's

0:51:58.680 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 4>about immigration, or it's about our civil rights, or it's

0:52:02.120 --> 0:52:06.319
<v Speaker 4>about labor, it doesn't matter. Like everything is on the

0:52:06.400 --> 0:52:09.719
<v Speaker 4>chopping block, and at the very least, maybe if we

0:52:09.800 --> 0:52:12.520
<v Speaker 4>pull together right now, we can stop some of the hemorrhaging.

0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:15.279
<v Speaker 4>I'm not at the election yet, so I mean, I'm

0:52:15.320 --> 0:52:18.279
<v Speaker 4>happy to have an election conversation, but I think that's

0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 4>foolish because there are so many fights that we have

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:23.000
<v Speaker 4>to have to even get there and to even.

0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:25.640
<v Speaker 6>Protect whether or not election day would be here for

0:52:25.719 --> 0:52:27.280
<v Speaker 6>us to go cast a ballot.

0:52:27.880 --> 0:52:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Don't go anywhere, guys, because we're shifting focused to midterms.

0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I think gonna happen or not, let's get into it.

0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:44.239
<v Speaker 3>We'll see on the other side. So I definitely I

0:52:44.320 --> 0:52:47.680
<v Speaker 3>understand what Jaday and Angela completely because you brought it up.

0:52:48.000 --> 0:52:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I want to punctuate this point about midterms, because we

0:52:51.560 --> 0:52:54.600
<v Speaker 3>talked about this last week on the podcast, and producer

0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Nick is telling us we have like ten minutes left,

0:52:56.600 --> 0:52:59.960
<v Speaker 3>so I'll be brief so we can get to our CCA's.

0:53:00.080 --> 0:53:06.160
<v Speaker 3>But we see already Republicans cheating in Texas. They are

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:10.680
<v Speaker 3>the Republican control legislature is redrawing the maps. And so

0:53:10.760 --> 0:53:13.479
<v Speaker 3>what Republicans would say is, well, how can you say

0:53:13.480 --> 0:53:16.320
<v Speaker 3>that we had more people vote in the last election

0:53:16.400 --> 0:53:19.160
<v Speaker 3>in the time before. And yes, you have more people voting,

0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 3>but they're voting in jerrymandered congressional districts. And jerry mandering

0:53:23.200 --> 0:53:25.840
<v Speaker 3>is something that's practiced by both parties. It's not illegal,

0:53:26.000 --> 0:53:29.520
<v Speaker 3>but racial jerry mandering is. And those two twin components

0:53:29.560 --> 0:53:32.839
<v Speaker 3>are often right exactly those two twins. Well, they're still

0:53:32.840 --> 0:53:34.200
<v Speaker 3>technically illegal. But what's illegal?

0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:36.280
<v Speaker 8>Now, what's the law the Civil.

0:53:36.120 --> 0:53:38.239
<v Speaker 6>Rights Division that would normally look at these maps and

0:53:38.280 --> 0:53:38.800
<v Speaker 6>tell them.

0:53:38.640 --> 0:53:43.200
<v Speaker 3>That they have reclassed white people as the victim class,

0:53:43.239 --> 0:53:46.239
<v Speaker 3>and the Civil Rights Division at the DLJ. And so

0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:48.160
<v Speaker 3>I take your point Angela, where you're saying, we're talking

0:53:48.160 --> 0:53:51.640
<v Speaker 3>about an election that's not here and that may not

0:53:51.800 --> 0:53:54.799
<v Speaker 3>happen in the terms of how we experience elections to happen.

0:53:54.840 --> 0:53:57.239
<v Speaker 3>We've never really had free and fair elections, but it

0:53:57.280 --> 0:54:00.480
<v Speaker 3>has been in boldened now where they're throwing everything at

0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:04.880
<v Speaker 3>the bit. My perspective on that ridge, even if Democrats

0:54:04.880 --> 0:54:08.440
<v Speaker 3>were to seize control of the House, the Senate, and

0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 3>some state legislatures across the country, I don't know that

0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:14.960
<v Speaker 3>this party, even given a modicum of power, is ready

0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:18.280
<v Speaker 3>to meet the moment to combat what we're seeing happening

0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 3>by the Trump administration. I'm not saying to abandon hope.

0:54:21.640 --> 0:54:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying don't vote. I think, to Angelo's point,

0:54:24.200 --> 0:54:27.400
<v Speaker 3>we have to fight with everything we've got everywhere we

0:54:27.440 --> 0:54:29.759
<v Speaker 3>can fight. I want to make that clear. I reach

0:54:29.800 --> 0:54:31.399
<v Speaker 3>y'all's comments that y'all tired of me and the doom

0:54:31.440 --> 0:54:35.000
<v Speaker 3>and gloom. Fine, I'm trying to say there is something

0:54:35.040 --> 0:54:37.879
<v Speaker 3>that can be done. I'm not encouraging or discouraging action

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:40.960
<v Speaker 3>from anyone. I just don't know, when you ask what

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.880
<v Speaker 3>the path forward is, I don't know that there is

0:54:44.000 --> 0:54:47.520
<v Speaker 3>a path to stop what we're seeing. I'm a bit exhausted.

0:54:48.040 --> 0:54:51.120
<v Speaker 3>These were the things that we grew up reading about

0:54:51.440 --> 0:54:54.960
<v Speaker 3>are still happening in our lifetimes. The things that we've battled,

0:54:54.960 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 3>the things that we've seen happen. Mandatory minimums are back

0:54:59.239 --> 0:55:02.640
<v Speaker 3>mass and Carson will once again increase if you look

0:55:02.640 --> 0:55:05.359
<v Speaker 3>at Project twenty twenty five as a guide. So I

0:55:05.480 --> 0:55:08.359
<v Speaker 3>just don't know that there's a path to a better tomorrow.

0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 3>The only path I can focus on is a path

0:55:10.760 --> 0:55:13.640
<v Speaker 3>to shelter and safety for our people. And when I

0:55:13.680 --> 0:55:17.440
<v Speaker 3>say our people, I mean our community. And if we

0:55:17.480 --> 0:55:21.480
<v Speaker 3>can ally if fifty or fifty two percent of Latino

0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:24.760
<v Speaker 3>men voted for Donald Trump, I'm certainly willing to ally

0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:28.319
<v Speaker 3>with the forty eight percent who did not, and I

0:55:28.320 --> 0:55:30.919
<v Speaker 3>would extend that to all communities across which I think

0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:31.560
<v Speaker 3>is your point.

0:55:31.600 --> 0:55:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Well, I would just say, as a matter of

0:55:34.400 --> 0:55:39.200
<v Speaker 1>not my opinion, but of fact, if Democrats were to

0:55:39.280 --> 0:55:45.319
<v Speaker 1>become the majority party inside the House of Representatives, as

0:55:45.360 --> 0:55:50.120
<v Speaker 1>they have under Hakim Jeffrey's leadership, the Speaker designee of

0:55:50.160 --> 0:55:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the House of Representatives, should Democrats gain control, he has

0:55:54.480 --> 0:55:57.560
<v Speaker 1>been able to hold his party to vote to a

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:02.360
<v Speaker 1>person every Democrat against the Republican's agenda. So far in

0:56:02.440 --> 0:56:05.680
<v Speaker 1>this as an opposition party, they ain't been the greatest

0:56:05.680 --> 0:56:08.120
<v Speaker 1>on messaging. I have issues with the fact that they

0:56:08.320 --> 0:56:13.000
<v Speaker 1>should do more alternative programming opposite what Trump's doing. When

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:16.959
<v Speaker 1>he signed that build better, build badly, build that will

0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:20.120
<v Speaker 1>burnish all of us, they should have had counter programming.

0:56:20.160 --> 0:56:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I got my issues, but I know this much. There

0:56:23.080 --> 0:56:25.719
<v Speaker 1>were speakers of the House that could not do could

0:56:25.800 --> 0:56:28.520
<v Speaker 1>not match what he's been able to do to this

0:56:28.560 --> 0:56:32.720
<v Speaker 1>point by keeping all Democrats voting the exact same way.

0:56:33.000 --> 0:56:35.520
<v Speaker 1>If he's able to carry that into leadership as the

0:56:35.560 --> 0:56:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Speaker of the House, he can stop Donald Trump's agenda wholesale,

0:56:40.440 --> 0:56:43.279
<v Speaker 1>should it have anything to do with a piece of

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:45.479
<v Speaker 1>legislation that needs to be passed through both the House

0:56:45.560 --> 0:56:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the Senate and then signed into law by the President,

0:56:48.800 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 1>they could bring their legislative agenda to a complete and

0:56:52.120 --> 0:56:57.200
<v Speaker 1>total halt. Suddenly, when they gain control, they can appoint

0:56:57.239 --> 0:57:01.280
<v Speaker 1>chairmans of committees that can launch investigations across the broad

0:57:01.400 --> 0:57:05.480
<v Speaker 1>swipe of this government, and they can barrel this administration

0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and investigations. Now, the Supreme Court may have made Donald

0:57:08.880 --> 0:57:13.439
<v Speaker 1>trumpet king, but everybody under him can be punished by

0:57:13.480 --> 0:57:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the law, can be jailed, can be prosecuted if they

0:57:17.360 --> 0:57:20.000
<v Speaker 1>run a foul of the law. So a Department of

0:57:20.120 --> 0:57:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Justice that says ignore the orders of a judge or

0:57:23.640 --> 0:57:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a just right.

0:57:24.440 --> 0:57:26.520
<v Speaker 3>That that is what I swear. I was sitting here thinking,

0:57:26.560 --> 0:57:29.520
<v Speaker 3>so let's just say that he's gonna be right. So

0:57:29.560 --> 0:57:32.560
<v Speaker 3>they run investigations, they find him guilty, I would direct

0:57:32.600 --> 0:57:36.360
<v Speaker 3>you to the Muller Report.

0:57:35.440 --> 0:57:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Put him to the work of doing it.

0:57:37.760 --> 0:57:39.840
<v Speaker 4>I think, I think, Andrew, this is this is where

0:57:39.880 --> 0:57:40.880
<v Speaker 4>I think we get it wrong.

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:42.320
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I really do that.

0:57:42.400 --> 0:57:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Opposed to what we have today, which is we can

0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:48.280
<v Speaker 1>put masks up and hold signs up during a speech

0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:50.720
<v Speaker 1>but have no power to do anything.

0:57:50.760 --> 0:57:52.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, what I think that.

0:57:52.520 --> 0:57:56.200
<v Speaker 4>I think that my issue is, in order for us

0:57:56.240 --> 0:57:59.640
<v Speaker 4>to change what is happening, we have to accept what is.

0:57:59.720 --> 0:58:01.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think some of the things that we keep

0:58:01.600 --> 0:58:05.960
<v Speaker 4>putting up as strategies to combat what's going on is

0:58:06.120 --> 0:58:08.880
<v Speaker 4>denial of what is actually happening.

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:10.840
<v Speaker 6>Yes it is, Andrew, you can shake your head.

0:58:10.840 --> 0:58:14.600
<v Speaker 4>But I'm saying, like, if you keep coming up with

0:58:14.840 --> 0:58:18.080
<v Speaker 4>solutions that would work in ordinary circumstances, or we're gonna

0:58:18.120 --> 0:58:20.320
<v Speaker 4>engage in oversight, We're going to pass legislation to do

0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:22.360
<v Speaker 4>He's still got to sign a bill into law.

0:58:22.760 --> 0:58:24.200
<v Speaker 6>He's not going to sign it into law.

0:58:24.640 --> 0:58:26.120
<v Speaker 1>No, law. There will be no law.

0:58:26.480 --> 0:58:30.040
<v Speaker 6>There's not law now, there's not. Yes, there's not.

0:58:30.160 --> 0:58:33.320
<v Speaker 1>There's lawlessness now because Republicans run rough shot over the

0:58:33.320 --> 0:58:34.520
<v Speaker 1>government at every level.

0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:36.280
<v Speaker 6>Andrew, that's why, Andrews.

0:58:36.400 --> 0:58:36.600
<v Speaker 11>Let me.

0:58:36.680 --> 0:58:37.640
<v Speaker 6>Let me just make sure that.

0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:39.800
<v Speaker 1>We just no lot of that.

0:58:39.040 --> 0:58:41.560
<v Speaker 6>That I'm not saying something different.

0:58:41.560 --> 0:58:45.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying and as our friends Vince will say, I

0:58:45.080 --> 0:58:48.040
<v Speaker 4>am in violent agreement with you on that and to

0:58:48.160 --> 0:58:52.880
<v Speaker 4>that point, because there is rampant lawlessness. Because the folks

0:58:52.920 --> 0:58:56.520
<v Speaker 4>on January sixth, twenty twenty one are now literally in

0:58:56.640 --> 0:59:01.440
<v Speaker 4>the freaking cabinet, we have a different set of circumstances.

0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:04.200
<v Speaker 6>This is wartime now. This ain't no time to pass

0:59:04.240 --> 0:59:05.840
<v Speaker 6>your little bill that he's not gonna sign.

0:59:06.200 --> 0:59:07.000
<v Speaker 1>This is not your.

0:59:06.920 --> 0:59:09.640
<v Speaker 4>Time to hold a special have a special committee and

0:59:09.680 --> 0:59:12.560
<v Speaker 4>an oversight responsibility around his God. This ain't the time

0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:14.720
<v Speaker 4>to go knock on the doors of the Department Education

0:59:14.840 --> 0:59:16.640
<v Speaker 4>is about to be defunded and hope they'll let you in.

0:59:16.920 --> 0:59:19.160
<v Speaker 4>This ain't the time to go and try to sit

0:59:19.200 --> 0:59:20.919
<v Speaker 4>down and meet with him and come let us reason.

0:59:21.000 --> 0:59:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Everything you're talking about is wellowed persist, because there's a

0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:28.560
<v Speaker 1>way I'm not done. No accountability there's exactly.

0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:32.800
<v Speaker 4>And the accountability, No, the accountability won't change in a

0:59:32.840 --> 0:59:35.480
<v Speaker 4>year and a half when maybe my could potential twenty

0:59:35.520 --> 0:59:37.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty six elections come up.

0:59:37.200 --> 0:59:39.080
<v Speaker 6>I don't think that. I don't think that's what time

0:59:39.120 --> 0:59:42.480
<v Speaker 6>it is. I think the time is now inaccurate. It's

0:59:42.600 --> 0:59:43.960
<v Speaker 6>not How is it accurate?

0:59:44.400 --> 0:59:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Because where you are failing to take into consideration, I'm

0:59:48.080 --> 0:59:51.240
<v Speaker 1>not I'm not talking about Democrats advancing any legislation. I

0:59:51.240 --> 0:59:53.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think that'll do anything other than investigate the mother

0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:56.400
<v Speaker 1>put people in jail who are breaking the law.

0:59:56.440 --> 0:59:58.240
<v Speaker 6>And he's gonna let them out of jail.

0:59:58.320 --> 1:00:01.959
<v Speaker 1>Stand up the third that's fine, put into the work line.

1:00:02.560 --> 1:00:04.640
<v Speaker 6>It put Andrew, it's not fine.

1:00:04.760 --> 1:00:08.240
<v Speaker 3>And I'm telling you that's what I'm.

1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Saying, until until they have to do it, until they're

1:00:10.880 --> 1:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>out of office.

1:00:12.120 --> 1:00:15.000
<v Speaker 4>And I was presuming that they're going to be out

1:00:15.000 --> 1:00:17.160
<v Speaker 4>of office. So I guess all I'm saying is because

1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:17.640
<v Speaker 4>let me.

1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>There are some bedrocks to the system.

1:00:20.160 --> 1:00:22.480
<v Speaker 6>Andrew, the bad rocks have been shook.

1:00:22.280 --> 1:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>To their own because they are in total and complete control.

1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:28.520
<v Speaker 6>Yes, and that's not going to change.

1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:33.520
<v Speaker 4>The Supreme Court makeup is not going to change. Or

1:00:33.640 --> 1:00:37.600
<v Speaker 4>three branches, Andrew, the three branches are compromised.

1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>The three branches are compromised because Republicans control all Yes,

1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and Andrew, Wait a minute. As a matter of factor

1:00:45.960 --> 1:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and not an opinion, Andrew, is that if Democrats hold control,

1:00:49.640 --> 1:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>they are one of the one third that makes up

1:00:53.160 --> 1:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the governing structure of the country. I hear you saying

1:00:55.720 --> 1:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that everybody's.

1:00:56.400 --> 1:00:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Rolling the government, which puts us in the constitutional crisis

1:00:59.680 --> 1:01:03.240
<v Speaker 4>we're in right now. He's defied the constitution because there's

1:01:03.960 --> 1:01:07.760
<v Speaker 4>in a constitutional crisis to him, No, Andrew, even with

1:01:07.840 --> 1:01:11.800
<v Speaker 4>the opposition, Andrew, if the Democrats get control of the House,

1:01:12.200 --> 1:01:14.600
<v Speaker 4>they might they likely won't get control of the Senate.

1:01:14.800 --> 1:01:17.280
<v Speaker 4>They still are going to be in a constitutional crisis

1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:19.440
<v Speaker 4>if the Democrats get control of the Senate.

1:01:19.680 --> 1:01:22.040
<v Speaker 6>But it is a constitutional not.

1:01:22.040 --> 1:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>A constitutional executive. Democrats only control one bud. It is

1:01:26.160 --> 1:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>not a constitutional crisis, Andrew.

1:01:28.000 --> 1:01:30.640
<v Speaker 4>It is if you decide, all that require is required

1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:33.800
<v Speaker 4>for a constitutional crisis is for one branch of government

1:01:33.880 --> 1:01:37.560
<v Speaker 4>to defy the orders of another. It is happening every

1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:39.960
<v Speaker 4>single day. The other thing that I want you to consider,

1:01:39.960 --> 1:01:42.919
<v Speaker 4>maybe we talk about it next time. They getting ready

1:01:42.920 --> 1:01:44.880
<v Speaker 4>to do a constitutional.

1:01:44.200 --> 1:01:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Convention and then and then well is it not good?

1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:50.439
<v Speaker 6>Not good?

1:01:50.640 --> 1:01:53.920
<v Speaker 8>But let me it's not good to open it in.

1:01:53.880 --> 1:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>A long time, and there are a lot of people in.

1:01:55.760 --> 1:01:59.600
<v Speaker 4>The legislats that are going to rough shot over everything

1:02:00.040 --> 1:02:01.960
<v Speaker 4>public and lead, Yes, what.

1:02:02.000 --> 1:02:05.400
<v Speaker 3>I think because because unfortunately we're out of time, guys,

1:02:05.440 --> 1:02:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I think we can either pick this up on the

1:02:07.160 --> 1:02:08.920
<v Speaker 3>mini pod because I think this is a good I

1:02:08.960 --> 1:02:11.920
<v Speaker 3>think what you two are representing our factions on our

1:02:12.000 --> 1:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>side of the divide, because I find myself getting frustrated

1:02:15.200 --> 1:02:15.920
<v Speaker 3>with things.

1:02:15.680 --> 1:02:17.240
<v Speaker 8>Both of y'all are saying and agreeing with things.

1:02:17.320 --> 1:02:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Both of y'all are hands so and I think that

1:02:19.600 --> 1:02:21.640
<v Speaker 3>there's that we all are saying the same thing on

1:02:21.680 --> 1:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>some level. So with that, unfortunately we do have to

1:02:24.720 --> 1:02:27.320
<v Speaker 3>move to CCAS and we're doing this normally. We will

1:02:27.360 --> 1:02:29.600
<v Speaker 3>let the conversation go for the folks listening and watching,

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:32.920
<v Speaker 3>but Angela has a flight, we have more to record.

1:02:33.120 --> 1:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>It's all good. We got to be disciplined do with

1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>our time.

1:02:35.200 --> 1:02:37.600
<v Speaker 8>I guess, yes, and then we can move it.

1:02:37.640 --> 1:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Forward, which is simply that there are some dead rocks

1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>that if a conversation is supposed to happen collesially that

1:02:43.960 --> 1:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>have to be under recognition. We don't get the makeup facts. Facts,

1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>we have opinions. Facts should be immutable, and we're all

1:02:54.880 --> 1:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>entitled to an opinion, but we're not entitled to our

1:02:57.080 --> 1:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>own facts. And I do think that I hope this

1:03:00.120 --> 1:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>bay continues, not only on this platform, but wherever you are.

1:03:03.920 --> 1:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope you are assessing what options you have to

1:03:07.440 --> 1:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>hold your elected officials accountable.

1:03:11.120 --> 1:03:12.840
<v Speaker 8>Love it handle well?

1:03:14.000 --> 1:03:16.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I hope that people are not having fact free

1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:18.960
<v Speaker 4>debates at home. We certainly don't do it on this podcast.

1:03:19.480 --> 1:03:24.080
<v Speaker 4>But I would also say I am hopeful that folks

1:03:24.200 --> 1:03:26.080
<v Speaker 4>will take the time I have m a sound like

1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:29.280
<v Speaker 4>you today tip to read what's really going on and

1:03:29.360 --> 1:03:32.480
<v Speaker 4>make an assessment, even spiritually, about where you think we are.

1:03:33.760 --> 1:03:35.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that things are going to be as

1:03:35.920 --> 1:03:39.600
<v Speaker 4>fixable just with one election, because our democracy has essentially

1:03:39.640 --> 1:03:43.720
<v Speaker 4>been unraveled in seven months time. So I'm hoping that

1:03:43.840 --> 1:03:46.960
<v Speaker 4>people will really see how they can lean in what

1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:49.600
<v Speaker 4>they feel called to do and push. It's going to

1:03:49.680 --> 1:03:52.440
<v Speaker 4>take all hands in, all great minds and innovation on

1:03:52.560 --> 1:03:54.000
<v Speaker 4>deck to make it through this one.

1:03:54.600 --> 1:04:00.520
<v Speaker 3>My CTA is just curating moments of joy. I wants

1:04:00.520 --> 1:04:04.760
<v Speaker 3>to thank everyone for agreeing with Andrew and me and

1:04:04.840 --> 1:04:11.040
<v Speaker 3>our CTA from last week for the speakerphone Angela, Yeah,

1:04:11.200 --> 1:04:13.880
<v Speaker 3>the poll, the data is and speakerphones are out.

1:04:14.160 --> 1:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

1:04:16.720 --> 1:04:19.960
<v Speaker 6>Walking down the street, we're doing that.

1:04:20.080 --> 1:04:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Like even yesterday, I'm like, I feel like I'm being

1:04:21.720 --> 1:04:23.840
<v Speaker 3>trolled because I said this, and now everybody around me

1:04:23.880 --> 1:04:25.920
<v Speaker 3>is on a speakerphone. So I want to thank you
